I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 731: Chapter 385: Celestial Demon Stone Statue

“No need.” Su Nan refused again.

“Brother, you should think it through. A significant number of geniuses at the Peak King-level in their late stages are here this time. Even they have to proceed with caution as they might become targets. Let alone us.”

The youth didn’t want to give up. He was very clear that, to last here, there was no way to survive without sticking together. Having just met Su Nan, who was equally strong, he naturally wanted to continue the persuasion.

However, he seemed to be wishfully thinking.

He initially thought Su Nan would undoubtedly agree if he broached the topic, yet Su Nan’s reaction provoked him.

The youth wanted to continue persuading Su Nan, but no matter what he said, Su Nan remained indifferent.

“You are too annoying.” Su Nan was getting impatient; he had no time to sit and chat with this youngster.

Hearing this, the youth lost patience, too, wearing a grim expression: “Hmph, you have a death wish. Thinking your Early King Rank is such a big deal, I’d like to see how long you last.”

With that, the youth prepared to leave but heard Su Nan suddenly say: “Since you want to see, why don’t you go and watch.”

“What do you mean?” The youth was taken aback, subconsciously asking.

Before he could react, he saw a palm from Su Nan smacking towards him.

“You’re courting death!” The youth was enraged, his reaction swift, he gathered the Earth Power to block immediately.

“Ignorant fool, you dare take a shot at me. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson.” The youth looked ferocious.

Looking at the aura enveloping them, he and Su Nan were similar, both at the Early King Rank, but the youth was confident he would have the upper hand.

Because he was on the verge of reaching the Mid King Rank.

The youth was overwhelmingly confident. However, with the Earth Power concentrated in front of him, blocking Su Nan’s attack while simultaneously retaliating, the very next moment, his face turned pale.

In his eyes, Su Nan’s hand easily penetrated through the defense formed by the Earth Power.

His shield, which was constructed from the Earth Power and capable of blocking a general King-level attack, was like a thin piece of paper punctured easily by the palm power.

This is impossible!

The youth screamed in his heart. A sense of unprecedented danger enveloped him, inducing fear.

He can’t block the attack! He will die!

At the brink of death, his consciousness was clearer than ever, and he hastily crushed the Jade Plate.

With the Jade Plate shattered, power burst from it, engulfing him entirely.

Right before Su Nan’s palm landed, he was teleported away.

“He did run quite fast.”

Missing his palm strike, Su Nan wasn’t surprised.

He hadn’t originally planned on attacking as he was in the demon beast’s Sacred Blood Secret Realm. Just to be safe, he decided to stay low-key.

But the youth’s ignorance irritated him so much that he couldn’t help but strike.

The number of Demon Kings who had died by his hand had already exceeded both hands. He wouldn’t let an Early King Rank demon beast flaunt its strength before him.

Nevertheless, he still didn’t kill it. Otherwise, the youth wouldn’t even have had the chance to crush the Jade Plate.

Outside the Sacred Blood Secret Realm.

A giant stone tablet stood tall halfway up Picking Stars Peak. The entrance to the secret realm on it had disappeared.

Around a hundred yards from the tablet, several demon monstrosities continued to watch. They were mostly Xuan-level, with quite a few at the Spirit Level. They all maintained their demon forms, each peculiarly different.

“Who do you think will be eliminated first this time?”

“Hard to say. The weakest among those participating in the demon beast festival this time are at the peak of Xuan-level. Even though they can’t withstand a single hit from those at the King-level peak, it wouldn’t be easy to find them if they hide.”

“I heard all those who enter the Sacred Blood Secret Realm will be teleported to an area where people in the same realm are. There won’t be a situation where Xuan-level beasts are sent to an area near King-level beasts. That way, one wouldn’t encounter any significant danger initially.”

“True, based on previous patterns, at least thirty minutes are needed before anyone gets eliminated. The number of people being eliminated will peak after two hours.”

The surrounding beasts stared at the stone tablet, waiting for the first one to get eliminated.

As they were speaking, suddenly, the surface of the tablet caused ripples like water.

“Huh? Someone got eliminated so quickly?”

Seeing the changes in the stone tablet, the surrounding monstrous beasts were amazed. It had just been over ten minutes and was far from the time when one would start getting eliminated.

Everyone stared at the stele. The next moment, they saw a figure being cast out from the ripples. It was the youth who had escaped from Su Nan. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The youth staggered for a moment, looking at the stone tablet and the crowd of beasts in the distance. He was in disbelief, as seen in his hazed eyes.

Was he eliminated like this?

And was it by someone at the same level?

“Impossible! How can he be that strong, being at the same Early King Rank?”

The youth seemed to be in a daze; he couldn’t understand what went wrong.

“Could it be a Soul Illusion Technique? Was I deceived by an illusion?” He suddenly thought of a possibility.

“Maybe from the moment I met him, he was casting illusion techniques on me secretly. The reason he kept refusing was to buy time!”

“Yes, it must be an illusion created by Soul Power! In the heat of the moment, I didn’t have time to think, which allowed him to succeed!”

“Ah! Damn it! If I find out who you are, I’ll kill you!” The youth roared in anger. At this moment, he was convinced that he had been affected by an illusion technique.

His anger and regret twisted his facial expression.

“It’s He Yu from the Black Cloud Crane Clan. This guy, hailed as an invincible existence below the Mid King Rank in his clan, was eliminated so quickly. What did he encounter in there?”
