Chapter 848: Chapter 835: Multi-armed Demon Clan

Ye Zhen’s eye power was extremely strong, assisted by the powerful four-colored innate soul light, so even from dozens of miles away, he could make out the shadow within the stream of light that exuded a violent aura!

The shadow appeared somewhat similar to a human martial artist, upright, with a head mounted on two shoulders, two legs—just from these points alone, it resembled a human.

However, the four arms, each over two meters long, that it brandished was what first shocked Ye Zhen, not to mention the long tail it dragged behind; as for its towering three-zhang height, it was already not so conspicuous.

The skin was vastly different from a human, or rather, it wasn’t even called skin but a layer of keratin, shimmering with a metallic gloss, the texture seemingly more resilient than the beast skins of many heavenly level demon beasts.

The features were similar to a human: two eyes and a nose, but more akin to a fleshless skeleton, including the nose, all of which were part of that metallic gloss keratin layer.

Yet, those blood-red eyes staring at Ye Zhen revealed a kind of uniquely human greed, proving that this bizarre, menacing-looking creature was indeed a living being.

The most astounding thing wasn’t these physical traits but the aura of cultivation it emitted!

Sixth stage establishment!

This creature was emitting the aura of an establishment sixth stage king, and Ye Zhen had a hunch that should a true spirit domain’s establishment sixth stage king confront this creature face to face, it definitely wouldn’t be a match.

"After so many years, for the first time humans appear here; we can finally taste exquisitely fresh human flesh..." A weird and awkward tonal language, yet, strangely, Ye Zhen understood the words of this creature before him.

Clearly, this creature regarded Ye Zhen as prey, as food!

When it got within ten miles of Ye Zhen, the four-armed monster suddenly erupted with fierce black flame light all over its body, its long tail raised high, the tip dazzling with an extremely terrifying black brilliance.

"A sixth stage establishment monster, just right, I can test the power of this fire talisman!"

The corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth turned fierce as he crushed the fire within fire talisman in his hand, a cluster of dark red flame shot out swiftly, like lightning, towards the four-armed monster!

The moment the four-armed monster charging towards Ye Zhen saw the dark red flame, it suddenly froze, its extremely greedy gaze abruptly changing to indescribable terror, its black flame light stalled, violently turning to flee!

Bang!

As it turned, the dark red flame transformed by the talisman crashed into the four-armed monster with a booming sound, turning the four-armed monster into a hissing, burning, enormous fireball.

The shrill screams echoed immediately, making one’s teeth ache.

"Just one strike and it heavily wounds this sixth-stage establishment king, is this the power of the fire talisman?"

A soul thorn unleashed, it directly shattered the divine soul of the four-armed monster, ending that unbearably sharp scream, and then Ye Zhen discovered in horror that the burnt skin of the four-armed monster turned into a substance akin to metallic liquid.

Moreover, surprisingly, apart from the skin right in the center of the chest being melted by the talisman’s blast, the keratin skin in other parts, under Ye Zhen’s extremely terrifying dark red flames, remained largely undamaged.

"The defense of this demon clan’s keratin skin is so formidable!"

In shock, Ye Zhen himself wielded the low-grade spirit artifact Flying Frost Sword to slash at the four-armed demon clan’s skin.

Bang!

Ye Zhen’s Flying Frost Sword was rebounded high up, leaving only a white mark on the four-armed demon clan’s skin.

This discovery left Ye Zhen stupefied.

Then, Ye Zhen pushed his spiritual power to the extreme, using the Flying Frost Sword to evoke the heart sword Sword Gang, also evoking the purple spirit power in the first sword vein for additional support, slashing at the four-armed demon clan’s skin!

The squealing sound rang out, causing one’s teeth to ache.

Ye Zhen’s Flying Frost Sword penetrated only about one inch into the skin of the four-armed demon clan, unable to go further, as if striking steel.

This left Ye Zhen astonished.

His sword heart enlightenment’s killing move heart sword, when wielded with a low-grade spirit sword and further supported by the Purple Spirit power, could slice off the head of an establishment first or second stage king with a hit.

Yet now, it could only cut an inch into the four-armed demon clan’s skin, and this four-armed demon clan was already dead; if alive, with the surrounding demon flame defense, cutting even an inch would be questionable.

A chill rose in Ye Zhen’s heart.

The demon clan’s power was truly terrifying, if they invaded, how could the true spirit domain resist?

Suddenly, Ye Zhen was curious about what happened during the Yuan Dan calendar’s late period, the Yuan Dan upheaval, what was it about?

What was the fate of those powerful and terrifying ancient demon clans?

Where did they go?

After pondering for a moment, Ye Zhen stored away the four-armed demon clan’s corpse; during ancient times, the demon clan attacked the human clan, but many demon clan’s tendons and skin were crucial materials used by human warriors for artifact refining.

The tools made from materials from powerful demon clan warriors had extremely mighty power.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the skin of this Four-Armed Demon in front of him, if it could be refined into armor somehow, Ye Zhen estimated that it could withstand the attack of a regular Establishment King without much problem.

Then, Ye Zhen wandered around haphazardly, not in a hurry to find the so-called center of the Demon Clan Fortress and attempt to pass the test.

Since more than a hundred testers ahead all perished in battle, it definitely wasn’t because they were all incompetent. Among them, a large part might have been very powerful Martial Artists.

But they still died in this Demon Clan Fortress crafted by the Ground Fire Heart Commander.

This shows that the demonic strength here is very formidable.

Rushing in headfirst without discerning the situation would be no different from seeking death.

Since the Earth Core Fire Commander left some talisman scrolls here that could assist the testers, Ye Zhen’s current task was to collect as many of these powerful fire talismans as possible.

Only by collecting enough of these potent fire talismans could Ye Zhen have a chance to pass this test.

Besides, Ye Zhen also wanted to detain as many truly mature Demon Spirit Phantoms as possible.

Earlier, the Demon Spirit Phantoms Ye Zhen had detained from the Demon Soul Hall, although they were merely newborns among the Demon Spirit Phantom clan and lacked strength, they significantly helped Ye Zhen.

They not only enhanced Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power but at crucial moments, could also directly supplement Ye Zhen’s depleted Divine Soul Power. The refined power could even quickly heal Divine Soul damage.

This kind of thing is truly a treasure among treasures, as on the True Profound Continent, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or pills that can directly heal or replenish Divine Soul Power are exceedingly rare!

Most importantly, the mature Demon Spirit Phantoms in this Demon Clan Fortress, even the lowest-level Soul Soldiers, after refining, provided Divine Soul Power that was hundreds of times more than the so-called ’Soul General’ Ghost Souls that Ye Zhen had previously refined!

Not to mention the even stronger Soul Guards and actual Soul Generals!

Of course, only because Ye Zhen had such a treasure as the Demon Soul Hall could he directly detain the Demon Spirit Phantoms here. If it were someone else, it would be fortunate not to be chased by the powerful Demon Spirit Phantoms here.

The region of the Demon Clan Fortress controlled by the Earth Core Fire Commander seemed very vast. Anyway, within two hours, Ye Zhen explored a distance of nearly five thousand miles and still hadn’t found the center of the Demon Clan Fortress, let alone reached its end.

Although the land is vast, the demons are few!

Neither Demon Spirit Phantoms nor Four-Armed Demons were encountered too frequently.

Within two hours, Ye Zhen only detained slightly over five hundred Demon Spirit Phantoms, over ninety percent of which were the lowest-level Soul Soldiers, and the remaining ten percent were all Soul Guards.

As for the Soul Generals whose cultivation surpassed the Establishment Realm and were comparable to the Dao Entrance Realm, Ye Zhen had not met any yet and was quite glad for it.

Otherwise, Ye Zhen really wouldn’t know how to deal with them.

At the same time, Ye Zhen also learned the clan type of the Four-Armed Demons among the Demon Clan – the Multi-armed Demon Clan.

The Multi-armed Demon Clan is a very formidable battle race within the Demon Clan, possessing very strong offensive and defensive abilities. The most common double-armed demons in the Multi-armed Demon Clan have the strength of Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists upon reaching adulthood.

After each breakthrough in cultivation, two more arms would develop, and the arms would also become longer.

In the Multi-armed Demon Clan, Four-Armed Demons and Six-Armed Demons are the most common sightings, while those with eight arms or even ten arms are quite rare.

Though the Multi-armed Demon Clan has strong combat power, their reproductive ability is average, with one birth every three years, and their growth after birth is rather slow, requiring at least a hundred years from birth to adulthood.

However, even if adulthood requires a hundred years, this Demon Clan Fortress has existed for at least nine thousand years. Who knows how many Multi-armed Demons have been nurtured during this nine-thousand-year span?

Just thinking about the numbers makes Ye Zhen’s scalp go numb.

During these two hours, Ye Zhen encountered only over three hundred members of the Multi-armed Demon Clan. Fortunately, most were Double-Armed Demons, and the powerful Four-Armed Demons like the one previously slain by the fire talisman weren’t many; only one appears among fifty-six Multi-armed Demons.

So far, Ye Zhen had already wasted three fire talismans, all used while being besieged by a large number of Double-Armed Demons led by Four-Armed Demons, to break through the encirclement.

Of course, alongside encountering these demons, Ye Zhen also accrued quite a considerable gain, finding over a hundred various talisman scrolls!

The Earth Core Fire Commander seemed to test the testers’ patience or observational skills, as the locations of the talisman scrolls he left here were exceptionally hidden.

Because of the low talisman power concentration here, even Divine Soul Sensing didn’t have much effect.

Perhaps hidden in rock crevices, maybe in dead branches, possibly mixed with dark red clay, or perhaps in some skull, Ye Zhen found a considerable number and variety of talisman scrolls in these places.

However, finding these fire talismans wasn’t easy. Perhaps due to the energy fluctuations, places where talisman scrolls exist often gather quite a few Demon Spirit Phantoms or even Multi-armed Demons.

Ye Zhen had to exert some effort to obtain these powerful talismans serving as his aides, among which fire talismans made up the majority of these nearly one hundred powerful talismans.

"I don’t know how many talisman scrolls this senior threw here, how many I can pick up......"

As he pondered, Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Dozens of miles away, a scarlet light beam descended from the sky, within which was enveloped the figure of a Human Warrior, looking very familiar!

"Have these Establishment Kings finally come in?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
