With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal

Chapter 395 - 361: Desert World, Nine-Tailed Great Demon, Celestial Demon Marshal

A moment later, entered in the sequence of southeast, southwest, northwest, and finally Northern United University.Shang Ruyi stood at the forefront, leading the team while saying:

"After you go in, each of you should squeeze out a drop of blood from your finger and drop it onto the [War Achievement Jade Talisman].

This item not only senses each person’s kill count, but also uses this drop of blood to determine each person’s survival status.

If anyone is in a life-or-death crisis, I will depart from the camp to support you, reaching within a hundred kilometers quickly.

If it’s any further, I won’t be able to come to your aid immediately.

That’s why I’ve always emphasized the importance of acting within your limits."

Everyone nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice, relieved that Grandmaster Shang had their back.

Everyone felt a lot more at ease, especially those who just advanced, who let out a long breath.

With a grandmaster to cover for them, they had the courage to fight to the death with the Celestial Demons.

"Of course, don’t go looking for death yourselves. If I have to help you, the war achievements and credits will be mine.

The [Yellow Sand 011] Demon Nest space is very large, covering nearly a hundred thousand square kilometers.

On the outside, it seems insignificant due to the shielding effect of the entire force field, so keep that in mind."

"Understood."

Everyone responded in unison.

Shang Ruyi reiterated the precautions once more, then led the way into the dark mist.

Meng Chuan followed closely behind, eyes wide as he looked ahead.

Before him lay a void of blackness, and as he walked, there was a feeling of instability, an illusion of falling through.

Surveying the surroundings, countless deeper black cracks filled the air, sparking with a sizzling sound, creating a sense of discord with reality.

It was as if... traversing to an alien world.

As he pondered, a voice came from Shang Ruyi ahead, and Meng Chuan listened intently:

"This is the passage to the Demon Nest, the most direct collision and intersection point between the Celestial Demon Realm and our human world."

Meng Chuan nodded silently.

In his mind, the whole passage was particularly reminiscent of the path he often took to enter the [Imaginary World].

One was an image in his mind, the other a real passage, unrelated.

But to Meng Chuan, both felt equally strange.

Swoosh...

This feeling was like passing through a waterfall’s curtain of water.

The sudden glare caused him to narrow his eyes, his vision filled with a dark yellow.

Standing firmly on the sandy ground, feeling the scorching air brush against him, Meng Chuan was seeing such a scene for the first time, slightly shaken inside.

Before him was a world entirely composed of piled yellow sand.

Endless yellow sand churned like waves in the hot wind, with interspersed dunes covered in unknown creatures’ corpses.

In the distance, within the sandstorm, the weathered giant skeletons were faintly visible, the dry air suffused with the metallic rust-like scent of blood.

Meng Chuan looked up at the sky, seeing neither sun nor moon, only an endless oppressive yellow sky.

He glanced around, everyone’s expressions mirrored his, stunned by the sight before them.

Many people felt a dry throat, and in such an environment, dehydration would gradually set in before long.

"Pff pff pff!"

Xu Qingfeng took a deep breath to calm his mind but ended up with a mouthful of sand, quickly closing his mouth and breathing through his nose.

Even so, many small sand particles entered his nasal mucosa, causing discomfort.

Meng Chuan activated his Flesh Flower ability, restructuring a delicate nose for himself.

Filtering out all fine sand, making him much more comfortable.

Although demonic qi was pervasive in the air, a breath expelled it all, leaving him unaffected.

Many people noticed Meng Chuan’s nose suddenly transform and were filled with envy.

"Horizontal training is truly magical; just for this environmental adaptability, I should practice hard when I return."

Seeing someone think this way, Shang Ruyi sighed inwardly.

Meng Chuan’s ability was known to all the Northern United University teachers.

After discussions, they all concluded it was due to the unique bodily restructuring capability of his "Innate Horizontal Training Holy Body."

Others could train to death and still not achieve this...

Shang Ruyi, walking at the front, waved his hand to disperse the surrounding sand.

Clearing a brief vacuum zone, not affecting his speech.

Feeling that everyone had entered, he nodded and said:

"The Demon Nest is actually an area within the Celestial Demon Realm.

Depending on the size that falls into the human world after intersecting, they are categorized into super large, large, medium, and small range levels.

This place is a super large Demon Nest, and as its intensity is only level one, it is perfectly suitable for this four-school trial.

The natural resources here are scarce, unsuitable for exploitation, only rich in Celestial Demon materials.

Once you’ve taken this first bite of the crab, this place will also become a training ground for the Great Chu military, prohibiting outsiders from entering, so cherish this opportunity."

As he spoke, Shang Ruyi led the group, heading towards the Northern United University camp ten miles away.

"As you can see, the air quality here is poor, with demonic qi and fine sand mixed together, even martial artists will be affected.

The body mutation of the first limit isn’t sufficient, so try to avoid areas with severe sandstorms documented in the Demon Nest guides.

The sand here contains demonic qi; if it’s too much, the body cannot withstand it, causing the airways to be blocked, and you know what that means."

Everyone looked grave, nodding repeatedly.

Inside the Demon Nest, dangers truly lurk everywhere.

...

Including the other three United Universities, everyone present was from Martial Arts families.

After a brief adjustment, they regained their spirits and hurried to their respective camps.

The Celestial Demons along the way had already been cleared by the military who entered earlier.

Nothing happened, and they could already see the outline of the camp from afar.

All around was a vast desert. Someone spoke up:

"It feels like, apart from the harsh environment, there’s not much to this Demon Nest."

Upon hearing this, a martial artist who had been to other Demon Nests scoffed disdainfully:

"Heh, wait until you reach the camp and venture into the uncleared areas; you’ll surely regret saying that."

The accompanying military personnel also nodded in agreement:

"This classmate is right, just the ten-mile distance from the entrance to the camp took us over three days to clear.

The bigger the Demon Nest, doesn’t mean it’s sparsely populated with demons. In some hazardous areas, the number of Celestial Demons is as rampant as locusts, dense and endless. It’s baffling how these creatures can reproduce so rapidly..."

Upon hearing this, a less skilled martial artist approached and tried to forge a connection:

"Brother, you must have been in here before; is it dangerous while exploring? Could you share some experience with your younger siblings?"

The martial artist from the military waved his hand:

"There’s no absolute safety inside the Demon Nest, even after setting up a military camp, it can still be overrun by waves of Celestial Demons.

However, the intensity of demonic qi here is limited, so there are no Demon Nest Masters present.

As long as we unite and face it together, safety is assured.

I participated in the siege of the Nine-Tail Demon Nest before, and that scene was truly shocking, click click..."

Curiosity piqued, everyone urged him to elaborate.

"Inside the Nine-Tail Demon Nest, there were hundreds of Celestial Demons at the Great Demon level alone.

The leading Demon Nest Master, the Nine-Tailed, was terrifying to the extreme.

Its body obscured the sky and stretched for hundreds of meters, with scorching demonic qi emanating from it that spread for miles. Martial artists like us didn’t even qualify to watch the battle.

I once heard General Yang Zhuo say that the Nine-Tailed could shoot countless energy blasts of demonic qi from its mouth, each as powerful as a nuclear bomb and in rapid succession!"

Great Demons correspond to martial strength, requiring at least Three-Limit Masters to contend with such formidable Celestial Demons.

Most possess a degree of intelligence and will flee if overmatched. Some Great Demons are more cunning than ordinary people, making them difficult to deal with.

The Demon Nest Master, as the most terrifying among them, dictates the concentration of demonic qi within the Demon Nest.

The Great Chu has discovered that among these Great Demons, some are on par with the Six-Limit Celestial Kings, not considered nobodies in the Celestial Demon Realm either.

The structure of the Celestial Demon Realm is a pyramid hierarchy from top to bottom.

Beings as powerful as the likes of "Whisper of the Mountains" stand at the top of the pyramid, commanding numerous Celestial Demons at their behest.

Such a being could be termed a "Celestial Demon Marshal."

Beings like the Jiao Demon, which only a Great Saint could suppress, are "Celestial Demon Generals."

They are the most powerful Celestial Demons that can move freely under the unseen rules of the world and are now the main adversaries of the Great Chu.

While entities like the Celestial Demon Marshal came to the human world during the confluence of these two realms,

they’re bound by unseen rules and cannot leave their Demon Nests and can only spread their influence through faith to grow in power.

They aim to one day break these rules, formally invade the human world, and dominate humanity.

Below them are the "Celestial Demon Governors," who can rival the Five-Limit Venerables and Six-Limit Celestial Kings. Fresh chapters posted on ????????????????????•????????????????•????????????

They rule all Celestial Demons within a specific region, serving as feudal lords.

Demon-like creatures such as the Nine-Tail Great Demon fall into this tier.

Of course, all this is determined by the Great Chu based on their experiences.

The subdivisions within the Celestial Demon Realm are several times more complex than this.

There are as many as forty-seven zones worldwide, known as "Life Forbidden Zones," similar to the existence of "Whisper of the Mountains."

Whether there are even higher beings above them might only be known by those at the top of the Great Chu...

Even the Great Saints cannot handle these life forbidden zones. Releasing such news to the public would undoubtedly bring despair...

...

"Hiss... with such terrifying Celestial Demons, can humans really win?"

"Of course, they can. The Nine-Tail was personally executed by Lu Zhenshou of our Northern Lands.

Without even needing a Great Saint’s intervention, hahahaha."

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan felt a pang in his heart.

Lu Zhenshou was none other than Lu Ang, someone he’d seen with his own eyes. He restrained such a terrifying Great Demon with a body under two meters tall. Is this the strength of a Martial Arts Celestial King...

How powerful must the likes of Celestial King Sui, or even the Seven-Limit Great Saints of the Great Chu be.

However, even they cannot contend with the terrifying entities within the Life Forbidden Zones. How should those be dealt with?

Meng Chuan shook his head, ceasing to worry himself any further.

Everyone felt at ease; the stability of the Great Chu rested on the heavy burden carried by these martial arts giants.

If such a powerful Celestial Demon were to escape a Demon Nest, it would spell disaster for any city.

The soldier said:

"The tall ones above have their burdens, while the small Celestial Demons below are for us to clear away.

In the eyes of ordinary people, we too are the tall ones."
