Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 774 - 429: The Daoist Monarch Appears! Crossing the Netherworld, Entering the Inner Circle of the Ruins!

The Ancient Demon Sect Relics were left behind tens of thousands of years ago, during the great war between righteousness and demons, as a means for the Demon Sect to revive future generations of the Demon Sect.

Outside, formations conceal and protect them from the world.

Inside, it forms its own vast and boundless space.

The periphery of the relics is of very low danger, and there are many special places suitable for cultivating Demon Dao Techniques and Divine Skills. Those with talent can even comprehend a complete Great Dao from it, using this to ascend to the Vientiane Realm.

For instance, the Blood Mist Deserted Mountain is suitable for comprehending the Blood Essence Dao. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

In the Soul-shaking Mountain, it's suitable for comprehending the Soul Great Dao.

All the Demon Sect's old monsters and geniuses who entered the relics immediately went to various treasure grounds to cultivate, but now, the exploration of the treasure grounds and the comprehension of the Great Dao are all coming to an end.

The geniuses of the Demon Sect, due to the short time of cultivation, mostly stayed in various treasure grounds, but some of the old monsters in the Demon Sect already had Nirvana Realm Late Stage strength, and after obtaining Crystal Stones containing various Great Dao Embryos from the treasure grounds, their cultivation progress was incredibly rapid!

In just a few years, some restored their strength and realm to the level of their previous life, or even further advanced. Some even condensed a Great Dao here and stepped into the Vientiane Realm!

At this moment, under the summons of this Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch, Elder Soul Devourer, several Nirvana Realm Peak Demon Sect old monsters gathered outside the inner circle of the relics, with surging demonic qi forming winds and condensing into clouds here.

In front of them, a Netherworld River, vast and boundless, differentiates the inner circle from the outer circle perfectly.

Inside the inner circle of the relics are the tombs of Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarchs, and even Mixed Cave Realm Daoist Venerables. If one can enter any of them, the benefits obtained would be far greater than those of the treasure grounds in the periphery.

"Although the Ancient Demon Sect Relics have emerged, it's just as the war is starting, not only do the Eight Great Sects of the righteous path eye it covetously, but the Outer Realm Demon Clan cannot be underestimated. Although their cultivation methods differ from ours in the Human Clan, many treasures within the relics can be converted into cultivation resources they can use."

"Therefore, once the formations of the relics are truly broken open, there might be Transformed Princes of the demon clan, or even a Demon Monarch entering together. By that time, it will be much harder to enter the inner circle and seize good fortunes!"

"As previously discussed, I will lead you across the Netherworld, and you will assist me in breaking open a tomb within. The inheritance will be mine, and the resources will be distributed among you."

Elder Soul Devourer, who comprehended the Soul Devouring Dao and stepped into the Vientiane Realm, spoke with a sinister voice. At this time, he no longer appeared young but had returned to his previous life form, hunched over like an aged man in the mortal world.

Only these Demon Sect old monsters around him could truly understand the immense pressure surrounding them.

With his eyes lowered, Elder Soul Devourer, before entering the relics, was almost at the same realm as these old monsters, but his luck was much better; he found the Soul Devouring Valley, which was most suitable for comprehending the Soul Devouring Dao, right away.

Layer upon layer of black mist devoured the soul; he devoured and refined the Soul Devouring Black Crystals within the valley, gradually comprehending the Soul Devouring Dao.

The Soul Devouring Dao is a branch of the Soul Great Dao; although it is also a Dao, its upper limit has been reached. If in this lifetime, he doesn't switch from the Soul Devouring Dao to the Soul Great Dao, no matter how much he cultivates, he will only remain at the Vientiane Realm Early Stage.

For him, living another life naturally meant aiming to confirm a higher realm.

Rushing into the inner circle was to become the first Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch to enter it, break open a tomb within through his current realm, and comprehend the Soul Great Dao on the path of the Soul Devouring Dao.

Gathering these old monsters was certainly not to give them a hand. The Demon Sect now seemed unified, but once the demon clan sweeps through Cang Mang Domain and the Demon Sect returns, it would inevitably split again.

Moreover, within the Demon Sect, even one's own disciples could be refined into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, so how could he possibly be kind enough to bring along the rest of the True Monarchs from different factions?

Bringing them along was because the inner circle might not be as safe as the periphery; it was fraught with dangers. Having a few more True Monarchs meant having a few more cannon fodders.

Of course, his intentions were not easily concealed from these cannon fodders either.

But the periphery was already of little use to them; if they wished to step into the Vientiane Realm, they could only venture to the inner circle to try their luck.

Without his lead, these cannon fodder might find themselves nearly body and soul annihilated just crossing the Netherworld, let alone vie for opportunities within the inner circle.

This was his overt scheme; human hearts are prone to greed, let alone those of the Demon Sect members.

"Since we're all here, we will certainly listen to you, Daoist Monarch Soul Devourer."

A withered True Monarch flattered as he spoke; he comprehended the Withered Wood Dao, a fusion of the Five Elements Dao and the Death Dao. Though a True Monarch, he was truly only one step away from stepping into the Vientiane Realm.

In recent years, he had visited several treasure grounds in the periphery embodying the Five Elements Dao and the Death Dao, yet he saw no hope for further advancement.

Thus, he placed his hopes on Elder Soul Devourer.

After all, before coming this time, everyone took a Dao oath, and even if Elder Soul Devourer steps into the Vientiane Realm, he cannot break his Dao oath to harm them.

Their real crisis only lies within the inner circle.

But regarding this matter, those who managed to reach this place have some level of confidence, each possessing various means to protect themselves, and each old monster assumes they can survive several moves below the Vientiane Realm.
