This!

Yu Xiangtian, Shi Que, and the others were all stunned.

“In that case, won’t we have to leave the Door of Darkness open?” asked the Xu Nation’s Martial Sage indignantly.

“If it opens, it can naturally be closed.” Xiahou Chuanwu regained his composure and said indifferently, “As long as we study the forging method of the Door of Darkness, we can close it.”

“That may be the case, but no one knows how long it will take to study the Door of Darkness. During this time, what if the demonic creatures come out again?” Shi Que asked in a low voice.

“If the demonic creatures emerge, we’ll kill them.”

Xiahou Chuanwu remained calm and collected. “It’s best if the three Ancient Demons come out from inside. It’ll save me the trouble of going over and killing them.”

“That’s right. There’s no need to wait here. We can charge in and destroy the Ancient Demons.”

“Without the Ancient Demons, the other demonic creatures can be dealt with at any time.

Yu Xiangtian and the rest fell silent.

Enter the Door of Darkness?

The danger would be instantly doubled and doubled.

But what Xiahou Chuanwu said made sense.

Why did so many demonic creatures come through the Door of Darkness?

It was because the Ancient Demons were driving the act behind the scenes.

With the Ancient Demons dead, the demonic creatures would dissipate naturally without much effort.

At this thought, Yu Xiangtian said, “Alright, let’s charge in and kill the Ancient Demons!”

“Count me in!” agreed Shi Que.

“Count me in too.”

“How can I miss such a big event?”

The others echoed their agreement, including the Martial Sage of the Xu Nation.

“There’s no need for that.” Yu Xiangtian looked at the Xu Nation’s Martial Sage and advised, “The few of us will go in. You have to guard outside. Don’t let the demonic creatures have a chance to emerge and go to the surface.”

“Yes, there has to be someone guarding the outside too.” Shi Que nodded.

The Martial Sage of the Xu Nation thought for a moment and agreed.

“I’ll go in too.”

After listening to the few people, Xiahou Chuanwu’s figure flashed and entered the Door of Darkness.

“Heh, then I’ll be the second.” Shi Que grinned and followed behind.

However, just as he was about to enter——

Hu!

A gust of wind suddenly swept out from the Door of Darkness.

A figure was pushed out by a huge force with it.

Bang!

Ugh!

The sound of collision and muffled groans sounded one after another.

Shi Que was sent flying dozens of meters back and crashed into the cave wall before stopping.

His clothes were ruffled and wrinkled, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His breathing was unstable.

The figure that bumped into him was fine. It flew back more than ten meters before stabilizing itself and standing in midair.

“Senior Xiahou?”

Yu Xiangtian and the others got a clear look of the person who had retreated. It was actually Xiahou Chuanwu, the first person to enter the Door of Darkness.

They couldn’t help but widen their eyes in shock.

Could it be that the three Ancient Demons were guarding the other side of the Door of Darkness, waiting for them to send themselves to their doom?

“It’s not the Ancient Demons.”

Xiahou Chuanwu’s aura disappeared again. He said calmly, “It’s the Door of Darkness. This Door of Darkness has a repulsive force. After I entered, I was quickly pushed out by a powerful yet gentle force.”

“Huh?”

Yu Xiangtian and the others were stunned.

Martial Sages were also humans. They would still be shocked when they encounter something incomprehensible.

“Ahem!”

Shi Que coughed and walked back slowly. “This force is very strong. Without breaking the Door of Darkness, I’m afraid we won’t be able to enter.”

“D*mn it.” Yu Xiangtian gritted his teeth. “The demonic creatures can come out, but we can’t enter. How did this Door of Darkness come about? Do Ancient Demons have the ability to set up such a strange passageway?”

“I guess only the three Ancient Demons know,” said Shi Que slowly as he caught his breath.

Since they couldn’t enter the Door of Darkness, their beheading plan naturally couldn’t proceed.

No one ever considered that the Door of Darkness only targeted realms, not everyone.

Only those who met the requirements could not enter.

Those who had yet to reach the realm were not obstructed at all.

In the eyes of Yu Xiangtian and the others, even with his Primordial Spirit realm, Xiahou Chuanwu could not enter, let alone Transcendent-grade Void Soul realm experts like them.

Since he couldn’t enter, everyone saved themselves the trouble of trying.

…

In the Little Demon World.

Su Jingxing didn’t know about the situation with Yu Xiangtian, Luo Ao, and the rest.

After closing the Door of Darkness that connected to the Southern Wilderness, Su Jingxing had forgotten about the two Demon’s Dens in the Furious Dragon River and the North Sea.

In Su Jingxing’s opinion, the Martial Sage of the Xu Nation, Luo Ao, and the others would guard the underground of the Demon’s Den and intercept the demonic creatures.

Without the Ancient Demons, some demon slaves and Half-Demons would not be able to reach the surface.

Therefore, he subconsciously neglected them.

At this moment, Su Jingxing, who was immersed in absorbing the demonic energy, would not think of anything else.

The Little Demon World did not lack demonic energy.

This demonic energy was released by the few plants that the Bone Demon, Sword Demon, and Snake Demon had brought through the Demon World, under the stimulation of the World Tree branch.

Be it demonic creatures, Half-Demons, or even the Bone Demon, Sword Demon, and Snake Demon, they could not do without the nourishment of demonic energy.

After thousands of years, the accumulated demonic energy, except for those that were consumed, had long filled every corner of the Little Demon World.

To this day, those special plants were also distributed in various areas of the Little Demon World.

Therefore, not only was it troublesome to cut off the demonic energy from the source, he also had to run everywhere.

It would be much more convenient if Su Jingxing simply devoured it.

Circulating Vast Ocean, large amounts of demonic energy gathered from all directions and circled around Su Jingxing’s head.

Then, it would convert into spiritual essence and push his cultivation level to increase.

380 years, 390 years, 400 years…

Unknowingly, Su Jingxing’s spiritual essence cultivation had risen to another level, reaching 400 years.

The demonic energy that gathered from all directions did not show any signs of weakening. Instead, it grew.

The demon slaves and Half-Demons nearby had long noticed the abnormality, but none of them dared to come close.

The demonic energy surged and quickly disappeared.

Clearly, something big had happened.

However, all three Ancient Demons were dead, and so were the Half-Demon Overlords. The remaining Half-Demons and demon slaves realized that something was wrong, but they did not dare to come and investigate.

Su Jingxing opened his arms and absorbed large amounts of demonic energy, converting it into spiritual essence.

As long as the demonic energy was not exhausted, Su Jingxing would not stop.

Such an opportunity was too rare.

Even with Vast Ocean, it was difficult to get a second chance to crazily devour energy like this and convert it into spiritual essence to increase his cultivation.

In the outside world, worldly energy could be absorbed. Water vapor, fire energy, baneful aura, Yin energy, and even sunlight could be absorbed.

However, those amounts of energy gathered were too little, and the absorption speed was not fast at all, let alone allow him to absorb in large amounts without stopping.

Su Jingxing had long known this. Back on the surface, if he wanted to increase his cultivation again, he would have to work hard over a long period of time.

Slowly accumulating energy and converting it into spiritual essence to increase his cultivation.

Unless he encountered another great opportunity.

It could be said that something like this was too rare.

Su Jingxing was unwilling to give up no matter what.

…

Furious Dragon River.

At the border of the Zheng Nation and Wei Nation, downstream of the waters, beneath the thousand-foot mountain by the river.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures suddenly descended from the passageway, their auras varied.

The first person was dressed in ordinary martial arts attire. He had an ordinary appearance, but his long flowing hair was thrown back and fluttered in the wind.

“Greetings, Master!”

Luo Ao was the first to take a few steps forward and bow.

“Greetings, Sword Sage.”

Suppressing his excitement, the Wei Nation’s Martial Sage also greeted the person.

The person did not respond.

With a calm expression, he floated to the Door of Darkness and sized it up with his deep gaze.

Seeing this, Luo Ao and the Wei Nation’s Martial Sage did not dare to disrupt him or get angry. Instead, they shouted at the others.

“Wei Chengzhang, why are you here?”

Luo Ao raised his eyebrows when he saw the Martial Sage of the Guang Nation, Wei Chengzhang.

“Hmph!”

Wei Chengzhang glanced at Luo Ao and said disdainfully, “I’m not here to see you or help you. I’m here to help myself.”

“Alright, alright. We’re all for humanity. Let’s fight the Ancient Demons together.”

An old man advised from the side, “Before the Ancient Demons, please put everything else aside.”

“Yes, the most important thing now is to deal with the Ancient Demons.”

A middle-aged man took a few steps forward and asked the figure in front of the Door of Darkness respectfully, “Sword Sage, can you destroy this Door of Darkness?”

The man with long flowing hair was none other than Luo Ao’s master.

A peerless genius that appeared once in a thousand years in the Zheng Nation, an expert in the sword, the number one expert in the world.

A martial artist in the Primordial Spirit realm, Pei Donglai!
