Chapter 656: Chapter 526: Warm-up in the form of slaughter, Battle of the Savage Beast Zhan Ye
This method of promotion is very dangerous, but at the same time, it has tremendous benefits for Chu Mu, as he does need Mo Ye to mutate in order to compete with Xia Guanghan and the defector girl marionette.
After hearing about this method of improving strength from Chu Mu, Ye Qingzi was also surprised and looked at Chu Mu for a long time.
Ye Qingzi has always thought that Chu Mu’s white demon, although an evil soul pet, is extremely dangerous, but compared to the white nightmare demon species, it should be a very normal soul pet.
Unexpectedly, this evil white demon is also a perverted soul pet, with the terrifying ability to devour its own kind to increase its strength!
“If you force the white nightmare demon to be promoted like this, it will make you more inclined to demonize, and if you are not careful, you will burn yourself by playing with fire,” Ye Qingzi quickly realized another problem.
The increase in the white demon’s strength means that there is a greater probability of it devouring Chu Mu’s soul. Even if the white demon is more obedient now, it is difficult to restrain the nightmare demon’s nature. Once it becomes too strong, Chu Mu will still be unable to avoid turning into a half-demon.
“But you’re still here, aren’t you? You should be able to help me control the temperature of my soul, right?” Chu Mu said.
“That’s true, but just in case,” Ye Qingzi said. As long as Chu Mu does not actively turn into a half-demon, Ye Qingzi still has the ability to control the temperature of his soul to some extent, but the problem is that Chu Mu’s soul is already at a very high danger index, so this method of adding fuel to the fire is not the best one.
Chu Mu didn’t care too much, as after reaching the seventh-level soul sense, Mo Ye would be able to mutate, and Mo Ye’s mutation would be equivalent to also raising Chu Mu’s soul sense, so there shouldn’t be too many problems.
…
…
Five hundred meters in the air, Shang Heng was watching Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi walking on the forked road from a distance.
From this height, the forked roads looked like small winding ditches, intertwined and winding, and some even smaller branches were even harder to see.
It was impossible to see Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi’s figures clearly in the forked roads, and they could only be seen when using their soul sense to watch.
“It looks like a group of people have come from the west, I wonder why they are going backward?” Ting Lan pointed to the more distant mountain ridge and asked.
Almost all participants and prisoners were walking uphill, so the actions of those people seemed particularly strange in this area of mountains.
Li Hen also quickly noticed the group of aggressive participants, and when he looked down at them with his soul sense, his brow furrowed.
“It’s the people from the Nightmare Demon Palace, and the team leader seems to be that kid Lu Shanli,” Li Hen said.
“Lu Shanli? Isn’t he ranked third in the Nightmare Demon Palace Power Ranking?” Ting Lan asked with some surprise.
“It seems like this guy is specifically targeting Chu Chen. Could it be Xia Guanghan’s doing? He can’t make a move himself, so he’s getting others to do it?” Shang Heng said.
“Yeah, it’s probably not a mistake. Lu Shanli is not weak, and he also has three Demon Servants with him. Chu Chen is in trouble,” Li Hen said.
They couldn’t interfere in the battles between contestants, so they could only fly to a high vantage point and secretly worry about Chu Mu.
…
While the three were worrying about Chu Mu being attacked by a group of Nightmare Demon Palace powerhouses, if Chu Mu knew that Lu Shanli had joined the encirclement against him, he’d definitely be grinning.
Chu Mu was planning to find the Nightmare Demon Palace’s strong fighters, not expecting the third-ranked powerhouse Lu Shanli to take the initiative. It suited Chu Mu’s taste perfectly.
Of course, Chu Mu didn’t know at the moment that Lu Shanli was waiting for him on the terraced mountain at the fork in the road ahead. He just continued climbing up the mountain with Ye Qingzi, looking for members of the Nightmare Demon Palace along the way.
There were about twenty Soul Palace powerhouses who entered the Eighth Realm, and the number of Nightmare Demon Palace members should be similar. The higher they climbed, the more concentrated the contestants would be. At that time, all the Nightmare Demon Palace members would face the furious attacks of a starving demon!
…
The terraced mountain had more than a dozen steps, and the lowest step was a very large platform that connected to the end of the spreading path at the fork in the road. When they saw this large and extremely high platform, after crossing the complex path, they had climbed almost half the height of the entire Tian Shou Mountain.
From the platform, there was a distinctive terraced structure of the mountainside. The edges of the mountain steps largely had no set pattern, with a height difference of about twenty meters between each step. For ordinary people without cultivation, this height difference would be classified as a dangerous cliff and fault terrain.
At this moment, Nightmare Demon Palace’s Lu Shanli stood on the edge of the terraced mountain, looking down on Chu Mu and the others as they gradually approached him.
Lu Shanli and his Demon Servants were not far away from Chu Mu’s location. As soon as Xia Guanghan sent the signal, they turned back and met Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi quickly.
“Officer Lu, it’s them, right?” The white-clothed Demon Servant asked.
“Yes.” Lu Shanli nodded. He recognized Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior, which indeed had some uniqueness with its Life Siphon ability.
“Sir Lu, let the lesser ones like us deal with someone who only makes a name for themselves in the first few realms without saving strength. There’s no need for you to worry,” the white-clothed Demon Servant respectfully said.
“Big Servant, don’t underestimate him. If he made it to the Eighth Realm, he must have some skills,” Lu Shanli reminded.
The Big Servant nodded, but there was an unconcerned expression on his face. He had heard of Soul Hall Chu Chen’s name long ago. Even if he killed Jiang Zhi in the Fourth Realm, someone like Jiang Zhi wasn’t even qualified to carry Lu Shanli’s shoes.
“Hopefully, he has collected some Prisoner Rings on him, otherwise, this would be a waste of our time,” said the Second Servant.
“It’s hard to say, maybe he doesn’t even know the secret of the Prisoner Rings,” laughed the Third Servant.
…
In mid-air
“Lu Shandu actually sent his three subordinates to make a move?” Shang Heng hesitated, not expecting Lu Shandu to look down on Chu Mu so much.
“His three subordinates are in for some bad luck then,” Ting Lan chuckled lightly.
Shang Heng and Ting Lan had witnessed Chu Mu’s true strength. If Lu Shandu had personally taken action and cooperated with the three powerful subordinates, it might have caused some trouble for Chu Mu.
But if he only sent three subordinates, then they were just waiting to be trampled by Chu Mu’s soul pets!
“So, Chu Mu can handle it?” asked Li Hen incredulously. Li Hen had always regarded Chu Mu as a third-tier challenge member.
“Of course, did Brother Li Hen not just see the corpse of Ninth Level Prisoner Duan Xinze?” Shang Heng said.
“Oh? That was Duan Xinze’s corpse? I didn’t notice. So you all killed him, did Chu Mu exert a lot of effort?” asked Li Hen.
“He dealt with it alone… Our group was surrounded by more than a dozen prisoners earlier, and it was Chu Mu who killed off all of them and rescued Li Zhan,” said Shang Heng.
Li Hen was stunned, and surprise slowly appeared on his face. He hadn’t expected Chu Mu to possess such strength!
Since Chu Mu had hidden his strength, Li Hen also wanted to see how he would deal with Lu Shandu’s three demon servants. He rode his Winged Soul Pet to a clearer-view position.
Using Soul Sense, Li Hen could still clearly see the battle. The three demon servants were already riding their Wind Demon Steeds at breakneck speed, getting closer and closer to Chu Mu.
…
In the Terraced Mountain, Chu Mu rode Zhan Ye, slowly climbing towards the higher terraces.
“Chu Mu, someone is approaching us,” Ye Qingzi followed Chu Mu and looked up at the higher mountain tiers.
“I know,” Chu Mu nodded, seeming not too concerned.
“Then why are you still going up?” Ye Qingzi asked.
“Wind Demon Steeds, it’s people from Nightmare Demon Palace; I was looking for them. You wait here for me, I’ll deal with it quickly,” said Chu Mu, patting Zhan Ye and signaling it to jump directly to the higher terrace.
Each level of the Terraced Mountain had a wide stone platform, and fighting on it wouldn’t be too obstructed.
Dark energy condensed beneath Zhan Ye’s limbs. Instead of jumping directly, Zhan Ye chased up the vertical stone wall, leaving a streak of black claw prints on it.
Soon, Chu Mu leaped onto the mountain where the three demon servants were stationed, at about half the height of the entire terraced mountain.
The three demon servants were riding Wind Demon Steeds, hiding their shapes in the shadows of the cliff, looking at Chu Mu with a hint of disdain in their eyes.
“A Ninth-Level Intermediate War Beast Mo Ye?” The First Servant recognized Chu Mu’s soul pet at a glance, and his face soon revealed a touch of surprise.
The other two demon servants were also surprised. In their view, for a person like Chu Chen of Soul Palace to have one or two Ninth Rank Lower Stage – Medium Grade Monarchs would already be quite remarkable.
“Humph, I bet this War Beast Mo Ye could be a bit difficult to deal with. There’s nothing to worry about!” The First Servant did not flinch.
There were three of them, and dealing with one person shouldn’t be a problem even if he had a Ninth-Level Intermediate Monarch!
Soon, the three Nightmare Demon Palace demon servants riding Wind Demon Steeds jumped out of the shadows, each controlling one of Chu Mu’s directions.
“Soul Palace Chu Chen, offending our Nightmare Demon Palace’s Officer Lu is the most foolish thing you’ve ever done in your life,” sneered the First Servant, pointing at Chu Mu.
Among their peers, not many people could escape from those Lu Shandu wanted to kill.
“Hand over the Prisoner Rings you got, and we’ll make it quick for you. Otherwise, endure the pain of soul burning!” The Second Servant said, already reciting the spell!
Blue demon flames burned on the servant’s body, and inside the rising ghostly light, a magic shadow slowly emerged!
Ninth Rank Lower Stage – Low-grade Monarch – Blue Nightmare Demon!
The First Servant and Third Servant also knew that depending on the Blue Nightmare Demon alone would certainly not be a match for Chu Mu’s Ninth-Level Intermediate War Beast Mo Ye. Their Blue Nightmare Demons appeared one after another, and they acted quickly, summoning their own Nightmare Demons.
The First Servant summoned a Ninth Rank Lower Stage – Medium Grade Monarch Blue Nightmare Demon. This Blue Nightmare Demon was noticeably stronger than those of the Second and Third Servant!
The three Blue Nightmare Demons’ flames lit up the entire mountain stairway with a blue color. The three demon servants no longer hesitated and directly ordered their Blue Nightmare Demons to attack Chu Mu.
Three groups of blue demonic flames intertwined, completely sealing off Chu Mu’s escape routes.
The raging flames ignited and quickly approached Chu Mu, easily engulfing both him and Zhan Ye.
However, Chu Mu calmly stood there, allowing the Blue Nightmare Demon’s skills to envelop them without showing any signs of movement!
The blue demonic flames soared high, their cold power enough to inflict immense pain by burning the soul. Many Soul Pet Masters were unwilling to offend people from the Nightmare Demon Palace, precisely because their evil soul pets always made others shudder with fear.
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo~~~~~~~~~”
Three strands of blue demonic flames wildly danced around, while the Demon Servants coldly watched Chu Mu being completely swallowed by the demonic flames, their faces showing a hint of mockery.
However, as the blue demonic flames continued to burn, the expressions of the three Demon Servants changed.
They did not hear any screams of pain from Chu Mu or his soul pet, and they even sensed that Chu Mu and his Mo Ye had been standing in the flames from the very beginning, without budging!
Within the blue fire serpents dance, Chu Mu, clad in black, was entwined with these blue flame tongues. Although the flames appeared violent and scorching, they couldn’t even damage his clothes.
White Nightmare Demon’s Nine Nether Demon Flame was a fourth-level demonic flame crystallization. The Blue Demon Flame only reached the third level and had considerably weaker effects compared to the White Nightmare Demon’s White Demon Flame. Such a temperature had no effect on Chu Mu, who didn’t even need to use any defense skills.
As for Zhan Ye, its Ink Armor already had a very high defense. Coupled with the ninth-level soul armor, the Blue Demon Flame, with its significant soul-burning effect, could only raise the temperature of its armor slightly, and that was it!
“Zhan Ye, deal with them.” Chu Mu calmly gave the order to Zhan Ye.
For Nightmare Demons of this level, even if a White Nightmare Demon were to devour them, it would make no difference. As for those three Demon Servants in Chu Mu’s eyes, they were nothing but trash!
“Swoosh!!!!!”
Zhan Ye’s speed suddenly increased, and as its black shadow shot out, the burning blue demonic flames appeared to lean at an angle!
Zhan Ye’s speed was extremely fast as it locked onto the Blue Nightmare Demon of the third Demon Servant. Its Sky-Splitting Claw swiftly slashed across the Blue Nightmare Demon’s body!
Zhan Ye’s claws had reached the Ninth-Level Early-stage. The doubled Horned Beast magic pattern strength and skill effect stacking made Zhan Ye’s attack power directly reach the Ninth-Level intermediate stage. Such attack power was three levels stronger than the Eighth-Rank Ninth-Stage – Intermediate Monarch Blue Nightmare Demon of the third Demon Servant!
“Swipe!!!!!!!”
The Sky-Splitting Claw ruthlessly slashed across the chest of the Blue Nightmare Demon!!
This Blue Nightmare Demon was quickly enveloped by a black energy, and as its body started to disintegrate, the demon flame on it rapidly vanished, killed in an instant by Zhan Ye’s attack!!
An instant kill, under one attack, the blue Nightmare Demon was reduced to ashes!!
“How… How is this possible?!” The third Demon Servant’s face was filled with disbelief as he watched the Blue Nightmare Demon swiftly disappear in the dark energy.
Soon, the impact on his soul caused his facial muscles to twitch, making his expression extremely strange.
The first and second Demon Servants were both stunned, as they had witnessed the Blue Nightmare Demon being killed by Chu Mu’s Mo Ye!
However, even a Ninth-Level Intermediate – Intermediate Monarch would only be two levels higher than the Blue Nightmare Demon. How could it be killed with a single strike?!
To prove that their eyes were not deceiving them, Chu Mu sneered and once again gave an order to Zhan Ye.
After Zhan Ye instantly killed the Blue Nightmare Demon, its body transformed into a black light and shot out.
This time, Zhan Ye targeted the Second Demon Servant’s Ninth-Level Lower Stage – Low-Level Monarch!
This Low-Level Monarch Blue Nightmare Demon had a similar strength to the third Demon Servant’s Blue Nightmare Demon. Upon seeing Zhan Ye approaching, fear appeared on its face shrouded in demonic flames, and it began to create surging waves of demonic flames with its hands, attempting to repel Zhan Ye!
“Rip!!!!!!!!!!”
Zhan Ye leaped up, its claws tearing open two dark blade shadows in mid-air!!
These two blade shadows easily pierced the blue demonic flames, crossing each other as they quickly swept past the Blue Nightmare Demon!
The Blue Nightmare Demon’s defense was absolutely incapable of withstanding such high-level attacks. Soon, its burning body was ripped open with huge gaps by Zhan Ye.
“Zhan Ye, Destructive Light!”
As Zhan Ye landed, a dark light emerged from deep within its throat.
The black energy burst forth from Zhan Ye’s mouth, easily penetrating the seemingly weak blue demonic flame and heavily exploding on the heavily injured Low-Level Monarch Blue Nightmare Demon!!
This Blue Nightmare Demon had been gravely injured, and now it was being bombarded by the Ninth-Level dark energy. Its body, enveloped by blue demonic flames, was completely blown apart and turned into countless blue flame sparks, scattering throughout the terraced mountain platform.
Another Blue Nightmare Demon was killed!
At this moment, the three demon servants were completely dumbfounded! They originally thought that their combined strength would be enough to easily deal with Chu Mu, but the results were such a seemingly simple yet ruthless instant kill!
“… How… How can you possibly have… have such a powerful soul pet!” The chief servant’s eyes were no longer filled with contempt, but with horror and astonishment!
Chu Mu’s indifferent gaze swept over the three panic-stricken demon servants. When Chu Mu was in Desolate Ancient City, his strength was not that different from that of Officer Lu’s demon servant, but now, Lu Shanli’s demon servant was simply a far cry from him!
“Zhan Ye, take care of them.” Chu Mu didn’t even feel the need to fight them directly, considering it a waste of time.
After giving orders to Zhan Ye, Chu Mu took the initiative to step forward and jumped toward a higher staircase mountain.
Chu Mu knew that Officer Lu must be up there, and what Chu Mu needed to defeat was Officer Lu. Chu Mu needed Officer Lu’s stronger Nightmare Demon to become a sacrifice for his own strength improvement!
The three demon servants were completely ignored by Chu Mu!!
It was worth noting that being directly ignored due to their weakness was something they had never experienced in the World Decree; after all, they were considered top-notch experts everywhere else!
…
“Letting a soul pet stay behind to deal with the three demon servants who could enter the Eighth Realm, and then directly kill Officer Lu, Chu Chen is really too… um… what’s the word for that…” High in the sky, Shang Heng’s eyes were wide open after witnessing this scene.
These three demon servants were quite powerful, and at least they deserved a more attentive look, right?
“Uh… unexpected… I guess Officer Lu’s expression is even more interesting.” Li Hen said.
Officer Lu was indeed convinced that his three demon servants could easily handle Chu Mu, but instead… they were treated like garbage by him.
Now, Chu Mu was directly jumping up the layered mountain, obviously aiming for a confrontation with Officer Lu!
Higher terraced mountain
Officer Lu saw the entire scene just now and his calm and composed expression had turned unpredictable.
His three demon servants were at least powerful enough to enter the top 50 of the entire Nightmare Demon Palace’s forces. Yet, being ganged up on by all three, Chu Mu was still able to completely ignore them!
Chu Mu’s strength exceeded Officer Lu’s imagination. When Chu Mu jumped onto the stepped mountain without any soul pets and approached Officer Lu, he could feel an intimidating aura coming from Chu Mu that made him feel a trace of fear!!
Soon, Chu Mu jumped onto the same mountain terrace as Officer Lu. Chu Mu had no soul pets by his side, and he stood at the edge of the terrace, staring at Officer Lu. who was riding the Wind Demon Steed.
Chu Mu didn’t say anything, but he seemed to not be guarding against Officer Lu. He slowly walked to the side of the stone wall, opened his space ring, and poured all the prisoner rings onto the ground.
Twenty or so prisoner rings scattered, making a “clattering” sound.
Seeing Chu Mu’s move, Officer Lu’s face became even more serious.
Chu Mu was obviously trying to fight Officer Lu, and the stakes of the win or loss were the prisoner rings!
“I never expected that you would hide your strength so well. I, Officer Lu, have really misjudged you!” Officer Lu said with an unfriendly tone.
“I don’t have much time, and I don’t want to waste my breath.” Chu Mu told Officer Lu coldly after throwing the prisoner rings there.
Officer Lu’s face twitched, and he could feel Chu Mu’s contempt!
“I admit that you have hidden your strength very well, but it doesn’t mean that you can be arrogant and domineering in front of me, Officer Lu. Now, you just need to waste more time to solve this, and the outcome will still be the same.” Officer Lu jumped down from the Wind Demon Steed.
He also walked to the position of the stone wall, opened his space ring, and poured all the prisoner rings there.
“You’ve collected a lot of prisoner rings, but it could hardly be worth me revealing my true strength!” Officer Lu quickly noticed that Chu Mu’s pile of prisoner rings was even more than his own.
What Chu Mu wanted was Officer Lu to reveal his true strength. Chu Mu was sure that Officer Lu must have one or two powerful nightmare demons. If his White Devil swallowed their soul pets, his soul sense would surely grow by a few points.
“Call your War Beast Mo Ye up here. If you want to fight, I’ll make you lose thoroughly.” Officer Lu glanced at the lower staircase mountain and snorted.
“It’s warming up.” Chu Mu said indifferently. After that, Chu Mu patted Little Mo Ye on his shoulders. Rarely feeling tired, Little Mo Ye had fallen asleep for a while. After being awakened by Chu Mu’s pat, it opened its eyes groggily…
Officer Lu’s expression stiffened, and he thought to himself that Chu Mu was despicable, using his men as warm-up opponents for Mo Ye.
Besides, it wasn’t even a warm-up, it was a massacre of his men’s soul pets!
