Chapter 417: Life Slip
The Demon Race that entered the Secret Realm World this time, apart from Hu Mei'er who surrendered, were all wiped out, turning into energy to restore the world and also into Experience Value for Meng Yifan.
The bodies, claws, teeth, and fur of Demon Beasts are materials for Refining; some areas have dense Demon Power, making them materials for alchemy; even the meat of Demon Beasts is a great tonic, which cultivators can consume over a long period to increase their Blood Qi Power and accelerate their cultivation speed.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Meng Yifan collected the precious parts of the Demon Beasts' bodies into his Space Ring; at the beginning, he would store the entire body of the Demon Beast after killing it, but later, as the corpses of the Demon Beasts accumulated, the Space Ring could not hold them at all, so he could only pick and choose, selecting the parts with the most abundant energy.
There were too many materials and they really could not fit, so in the end, for materials below the third grade, Meng Yifan would find a cave to store them, and only the precious materials of the third grade and above were kept in his Space Ring.
Among the human experts who entered the Secret Realm World, the Fifth Grade Peak Yin Jiuji was killed, and that Fifth Grade High Tier Wang Momei fell in the Gold Element World before Meng Yifan discovered her.
In addition, the Fifth Grade Middle Tier Feng Datong fell in the Water Element World, and the Fifth Grade Middle Tier Zhao Jingang fell in the Fire Element World.
This time, when the Secret Realm World opened, the Demon Race and human experts, except for those on Meng Yifan's side, were almost completely wiped out; this is the terrifying aspect of the cultivation world, where risks and opportunities coexist in the Secret Realm World, and if one wants to come in to seize treasures and obtain fortune, one must be prepared for the risk of falling.
Meng Yifan gained the most from entering the Secret Realm World, not only having his strength leap forward but also possessing control over the entire world, and using this as a foundation to refine his own Nine Systems World.
Not only that, Meng Yifan also subdued the man-eating flower and Hu Mei'er, these two Fifth Grade experts, greatly increasing his overall strength.
However, the risks Meng Yifan experienced were also very great; if not for the Game Panel, he would have already been possessed by He Dongliu.
"Let's go." Meng Yifan waved his right hand, and a crack appeared in the void; Lang Batian and the others left this world through the crack one after another.
The moment the world crack was opened by Meng Yifan, inside the Astronomical Observatory of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty, in a secret underground chamber rich in Spirit Qi, a series of cracking sounds of jade shattering suddenly came.
A black-robed old man with a head full of white hair and a ruddy complexion suddenly opened his eyes; in the depths of his eyes, the light was brilliant, as if containing the sun, moon, and stars, making people dare not look directly at them; he looked in surprise at the shattered Life Slip on the high platform and muttered, "The Life Slip has shattered; Fifth Grade experts have fallen one after another."
This black-robed old man is the National Teacher of the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty, 'Zhou Rentong', a Sixth Grade Peak expert, an existence on equal footing with His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhou Rentong's divine sense swept over and checked the shattered Life Slips, discovering they were Wang Momei, Feng Datong, Zhao Jingang, and Yin Jiuji, respectively.
"Yin Jiuji is a Fifth Grade Peak expert, how did he also fall? What happened in Dongzhou? How could so many Fifth Grade experts fall at the same time?" Zhou Rentong's brows were tightly furrowed; he was very clear about the situation in Dongzhou, and although the Demon Race's strength held the upper hand, they did not have the ability to kill all the Fifth Grade Immortal Cultivators in Dongzhou at once.
"Could it be that old Sixth Grade monster who broke the agreement and made a move against Yin Jiuji and the others?" Zhou Rentong was burning with anger; Sixth Grade experts not participating in the war was an agreement he had jointly signed with several other Sixth Grade experts, and if one side's Sixth Grade expert participated in the war, the other sides would join forces to kill them.
Zhou Rentong took out an ancient-looking jade pendant and input a wisp of World Power into it; the jade pendant was activated, and before long, an old man wearing a dragon robe, with two horns on his head, a green face and fangs, and a fierce and domineering aura appeared before him.
"Old Dragon King, did you kill the Fifth Grade Immortal Cultivators in Dongzhou?" Zhou Rentong accused.
"Eh! Your Fifth Grade Immortal Cultivators have all fallen." The Old Dragon King was stunned; he had also just discovered that a large group of Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators in the Dongzhou region had all fallen, and he was just about to contact Zhou Rentong to question whether it was this Sixth Grade Great Expert who had made a move.
"Have the Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators also fallen?" Zhou Rentong realized that something was wrong.
"Yes, in the Dongzhou region, except for Hu Mei'er, Lang Batian, and Lang Badi, all other Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators have fallen. I checked the Life Slips of Hu Mei'er, Lang Batian, and Lang Badi and discovered that they have already betrayed the Demon Race and recognized other experts as their masters."
The Old Dragon King's tone was heavy; although the Demon Race is vast in number, every Fifth Grade Demon Cultivator is a pillar of the entire Demon Race, and losing even one would greatly reduce their strength, let alone losing eight Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators all at once.
Especially Ao Bi'an, who was the Old Dragon King's offspring; he fell in Dongzhou for no reason, which made the Old Dragon King feel heart-wrenching pain; if he were not at a critical juncture of closed-door cultivation, he would have already rushed to Dongzhou to start a massacre.
"Could it be that another Sixth Grade Great Expert has made a move? No, I must go to Dongzhou," Zhou Rentong said.
"I will go too. Whoever dares to kill so many Fifth Grade Demon Cultivators of my race, I will make them pay in blood," the Old Dragon King said coldly.
The two Sixth Grade Peak experts soared into the sky from different directions and flew at high speed toward the direction of Dongzhou.
On the other side, Meng Yifan and the others appeared in the Valley outside Luolong County through the world crack; he vigilantly checked his surroundings and found nothing unusual, then with a thought, the crack in the sky disappeared, and the Nine Systems World hid within the Universe Sea.
Meng Yifan specifically controlled the Nine Systems World to change its position, so even if there were experts capable of shattering the void, it would be difficult to find the location of the Nine Systems World outside this space.
As soon as Meng Yifan and Meng Shuangdao appeared, Heaven sensed it, and dark clouds instantly gathered in the sky, with Lightning and Thunder brewing a terrifying Thunder Tribulation.
"Spread out, each of you undergo your tribulation," Meng Yifan shouted loudly.
Meng Shuangdao did not dare to linger and quickly fled into the distance; after experiencing the small Thunder Tribulation of the Nine Systems World, Meng Shuangdao was confident he could survive his own Fifth-Grade Thunder Tribulation, but if he were close to Meng Yifan and attracted a Sixth-Grade Thunder Tribulation, he would definitely be scorched to charcoal.
Lang Batian, Lang Badi, the man-eating flower, and Zhao Jingang also hurriedly left, moving out of the range covered by the Thunder Tribulation; the four of them guarded the four directions, protecting Meng Yifan from the periphery.
As for Hu Mei'er, she stood on another hilltop, observing Meng Yifan undergoing the tribulation.
Hu Mei'er originally had the strength of a Fifth Grade Peak, and after entering the Secret Realm World this time, she had obtained the Fire Element World Source, which gave her new insights into the Fire Element Law and allowed her to touch the Grade 6 realm; she planned to go into closed-door cultivation after coming out to prepare for advancing to Grade 6.
Now, watching Meng Yifan undergo the tribulation also served as a reference for Hu Mei'er when she undergoes her own Sixth-Grade Thunder Tribulation in the future.
