Chapter 2566: This is an opportunity

Only saw Huang Lao forming hand seals with both hands, murmuring incantations, then he fiercely waved his sleeve forward, and a brilliant, dazzling burst of light suddenly exploded forth.

Immediately after, a colossal pitch-black hook, black as ink throughout, appeared out of thin air in midair and shot toward the Mining Domain at astonishing speed.

It turned out that this was precisely the Heaven Hook Great Method painstakingly improved by Huang Lao.

At this moment, Huang Lao firmly attached a wisp of his divine sense to the tip of the black great hook, and together they rushed deep into the Mining Domain.

Relying on this wisp of divine sense, Huang Lao could clearly and accurately perceive all movements and changes at the entrance of the Mining Domain.

Not long after, Huang Lao easily locked onto the location of those extraterrestrial demon ingredients from foreign lands.

Thus, things became much simpler, no longer as difficult as before—due to some mysterious force obstructing the Mining Domain entrance, each use of the Heaven Hook Great Method had been like searching for a needle in the sea, utterly clueless; now it could be said to be well-aimed, hitting the mark with a single strike.

Just as this black great hook stepped into the Mining Domain's range, it shot straight like an arrow released from a bow toward the nearest extraterrestrial demon ingredient.

However, at this very moment, the many extraterrestrial demons inside the Mining Domain also keenly sensed the abnormality in the surrounding environment.

After all, such a huge, pitch-black hook suddenly charging in from outside the Mining Domain—even if their reaction speed were slow, they surely could not fail to notice it, right?

What's worse, these extraterrestrial demons were utterly familiar with this suddenly appearing black entity, even feeling a faint dread deep down……

Originally this mysterious and dangerous Mining Domain had remained sealed, but unexpectedly, that black hook appeared again without any warning.

Just then, an extraterrestrial demon from afar let out a terrified scream.

"Be careful."

However, it was already too late.

Only saw Huang Lao's hook technique swift as lightning, giving that extraterrestrial demon no time to react, as the pitch-black hook struck the target with astonishing speed and accuracy, firmly catching it.

Immediately after, an irresistible huge force surged forth, just as before barbaric and unreasonable, mercilessly dragging that extraterrestrial demon out by force.

Watching their companion vanish instantly without a trace, the other extraterrestrial demons at the entrance all turned deathly pale, looking utterly grim.

They silently cursed in their hearts, wondering what vile means these hateful human cultivators had employed.

After all, the entrance to this Mining Domain had clearly been sealed tight, yet even the immensely powerful Demon God had tried repeatedly to break through, to no avail.

So how exactly did these humans manage to penetrate the layers of obstruction and successfully intrude into this Forbidden Land?

After experiencing a bout of panic, what followed was endless confusion and bewilderment.

This situation was truly too bizarre, leaving people utterly perplexed.

Finally, a sharp-eyed extraterrestrial demon noticed the radiant gate at the entrance, and he astonishedly discovered that a narrow slit had somehow split open in the door……

Everyone's eyes fixed on the entrance gate, which had originally been sealed so tightly that not even a fly could pass through, yet now a slit suddenly appeared.

And just now, the black hook launched by the humans had precisely drilled into the mining area through that crack.

"This… the seal has actually been lifted?"

An extraterrestrial demon muttered in astonishment.

However, immediately after, another extraterrestrial demon objected.

"No, the seals in other areas remain intact."

Before the words had even faded, a cry rang out—another pitch-black, ink-like hook came whistling through.

Seeing this, all the extraterrestrial demons present felt a chill run down their spines, their bodies shivering with cold.

What on earth is going on with these humans? Have they become addicted to using these black hooks?

Although their hearts were already filled with uncontainable rage, when faced with the swiftly approaching deadly black hook, the first reaction of the extraterrestrial demons was still to dodge quickly.

After all, this thing is no toy; once struck by it, the consequences are unimaginable—one could say it means certain death.

Therefore, these extraterrestrial demons dared not provoke this terrifyingly extreme black hook lightly; they all exerted their utmost movement techniques, hoping to escape its attack range as soon as possible.

For a moment, the scene became extraordinarily chaotic and tense.

If placed in the past, facing this group of extraterrestrial demons so meticulously prepared and ready to meet them, this hook might not necessarily hit its target.

However, times have changed; the present Heaven Hook Great Method is no longer a mere novice—after painstaking refinement by Huang Lao and the two other masters, its accuracy has reached a miraculous level.

Therefore, even though these extraterrestrial demons now possess extremely fast reaction speeds, they still cannot escape the lock-on and pursuit of this black curved hook.

Only saw the hook cling like a shadow to one of the extraterrestrial demons, then mercilessly lunge at it.

This series of movements flowed smoothly and seamlessly, giving that unlucky extraterrestrial demon no chance to breathe, striking its vital spot precisely; immediately after, a tremendous force surged forth like mountains and seas overturning, instantly shattering the surrounding space's bonds and constraints, and forcibly dragging the trapped extraterrestrial demon out of the mining area.

At this very moment, the Heavenly Family Old Ancestor outside likewise, relying on the exquisite Heaven Hook Great Method, successfully captured another extraterrestrial demon as a food source.

Looking at the lively "prize" in his hand, he couldn't help but beam with joy, grinning so wide his mouth could hardly contain it.

"Haha, great, truly great, this Heaven Hook Great Method indeed lives up to its reputation."

Although this time they obtained nothing more than an utterly ordinary extraterrestrial demon ingredient, for the Heavenly Family Old Ancestor who had never before tasted success, this result was enough to make him overjoyed.

Afterward, Miao Cuihua also tried it and succeeded as well.

Seeing three hooks hit three times, a hundred percent success rate of the Heaven Hook Great Method, everyone present brightened up.

This Heaven Hook Great Method improved by Huang Lao and the two others—well, this success rate has practically multiplied several times; after cultivation, gathering ingredients would be far simpler.

The human side was pleased, but the extraterrestrial demons were another matter.

Especially that Demon God, who had received the news and rushed over swiftly, gazing at the crack above the entrance gate, narrowed his eyes; at first his expression was grim, but then, as if thinking of something, he let out a cold laugh.

"This is our opportunity."

Looking at this crack above the gate of light, this Demon God seemed to have found an opportunity.
