Luo Yunyang smirked as he watched a rapidly-moving flying ship. Right now, he seemed like a hunter that had been lying in wait for a long time and was about to give the prey he had been stalking a mortal blow.
The flying ship was huge and, based on its external form, it should be called a huge eagle rather than a flying ship.
This was a ship formed by using mystic techniques and fusing a sixth-level Heavenly Venerate primal chaotic dire beast with machinery.
Not only did it have the combat strength of the sixth-level Heavenly Venerate primal chaotic beast, but it was also equipped with the most advanced technological means.
In the Mysterious Underworld Race, this was a flying ship that not everyone could have.
“99th Mysterious Demon, our spoils aren’t too bad this time. I think we should probably return,” a man with flickering dark green scales told the man sitting in the central position.
99th Mysterious Demon!
In the Mysterious Underworld Race, Mysterious Demons were ranked accordingly starting from 1st, 2nd, and so on. A title like ’99th Mysterious Demon’ was really nothing.
The person called 99th Mysterious Demon was a Mysterious Underworld Being whose body was covered in dark purple scales. The 99th Mysterious Demon scoffed. “When my brother hunted in the Dual Realm Sky, he killed over 100 Human Race powerhouses and even slew a seventh-level Heavenly Venerate before he returned.”
“Although I can’t compare to my elder brother, how can I go back without even killing a sixth-level Heavenly Venerate? Are you guys trying to make me lose face, or are you prepared to disgrace my elder brother?”
The green-scaled Mysterious Underworld being was a seventh-level Heavenly Venerate and had a rather high status in the Mysterious Underworld Race. However, right now, the 99th Mysterious Demon was someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
The 99th Mysterious Demon couldn’t be offended because his older brother was the 1st Mysterious Demon.
Due to the 1st Mysterious Demon’s extraordinary status, no one dared say anything about the self-given title of the 99th Mysterious Demon, which wasn’t official.
He had come to the Dual Realm Sky to gain experience with a seventh-level Heavenly Venerate and four sixth-level Heavenly Venerates as bodyguards. Although he would bolster his reputation considerably this time, everyone knew that this was all because of his older brother.
They might encounter a top Human Race powerhouse if they continued to wander. This was also why the seventh-level Heavenly Venerate had suggested leaving.
The seventh-level Heavenly Venerate was really unhappy when he heard what the 99th Mysterious Demon had said. However, he controlled his anger.
Naturally, this was because he couldn’t afford to offend the 1st Mysterious Demon.
“I heard that my older brother and the others plan to…” The 99th Mysterious Demon seemed to have realized that he had gone a little overboard while speaking to the seventh-level Heavenly Venerate, so he changed the topic.
However, he had just opened his mouth when he suddenly realized that something had changed in the surrounding environment.
This change was extremely sudden. It seemed as if the void they were in had suddenly moved to the middle of an ocean.
A blood-red ocean!
The seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate quickly shouted, “99th Mysterious Demon, come with me, Sir!”
To reach the seventh-level Heavenly Venerate, this Mysterious Underworld Being had gone through a lot in the past and thus had a wealth of experience.
At this juncture, he made the most accurate decision as soon as he saw this anomaly.
Such a situation wasn’t something he could resolve on his own. Thus, he prepared to lead the 99th Mysterious Demon away as fast as possible.
However, while he had this intention in mind, surging blood-light had already gathered and formed a withered pagoda that sealed him in the center.
Based on what the seventh-level Heavenly Venerate saw, this technique didn’t exceed a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate’s realm. However, the blood-colored pagoda that had formed possessed a strange power.
He found it difficult to struggle in the face of this power.
Although he used his Sacred Image, a huge blade filled with boundless killing intent, to cut at that pagoda, it wasn’t very effective.
As the blood-colored pagoda shrank, the seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate was already aware that he had encountered an entity that he would never surpass.
“The… The owner of this ship is the 1st Mysterious Demon’s younger brother. If you hurt him in any way, then… then you will be hunted down!” The seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate threatened.
The 1st Mysterious Demon’s fame would even make the people of the Human Race feel terror-stricken when they heard it.
“The 1st Mysterious Demon’s younger brother? That isn’t too bad. I heard that the 1st Mysterious Demon possesses quite some methods. How great would it be if I could kill him?” A faint voice reverberated in the seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate’s mind.
The seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate felt his consciousness shuddering as his body turned to dust.
Fortunately, as he was feeling dim, he suddenly sensed that he had actually appeared within the long river of space and time.
Heavenly Venerates could always create a body again as long as their spiritual mark wasn’t extinguished and they remained in the long river of space and time.
Immediately, the seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate walked out of the long river of space and time. Although he was still alive, his cultivation had declined a lot.
However, he didn’t care about any of this. The communication devices and everything else on his body had been completely destroyed, so the seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate immediately rushed towards a planet.
Half an hour later, he finally contacted the 1st Mysterious Demon.
“What did you say? My younger brother was ambushed?” The 1st Mysterious Demon glared at the prostrated seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate from atop a black throne in a virtual realm.
“Yes, my lord!” The seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate’s voice was trembling. “I… I was helpless. I couldn’t even make a single move before I was…”
The cold glare of the 1st Mysterious Demon intensified as he listened to the narration of the seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate. Then, he said icily, “Although you can’t be blamed entirely, you still have to be punished since you escaped death.”
“I shall remember this. However, if you save the 99th Mysterious Demon, then I can be lenient with you.”
The seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate heaved a sigh of relief. He was only a bodyguard, so he simply had no power to stop the 99th Mysterious Demon from doing whatever he wanted.
The fact that they had encountered such an overwhelming opponent wasn’t his fault. Being able to escape with his life was already something worth rejoicing in.
However, this reasoning was of no use. After all, the 1st Mysterious Demon had the power to decide his fate.
“You go on. I have my own arrangements.” The 1st Mysterious Demon waved his hand and gestured at the seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate to leave.
The 1st Mysterious Demon was never an impetuous person. There was a slightly dim look in his eyes after the seventh-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate left.
“If what Qisha said is true, the person that conjured the blood-colored pagoda should have been a lot stronger than him.” A hushed voice echoed in the virtual space the 1st Mysterious Demon was in. A black-scaled, beautiful Mysterious Underworld lady appeared in the virtual palace.
The Mysterious Underworld Race had always valued power and strength above all else. This lady’s status within the Mysterious Underworld Race could be considered extremely low. However, the lady was actually standing before the 1st Mysterious Demon and didn’t even seem to have any intention of bowing.
“I have a feeling that this is a result of someone deliberately targeting you.” The six eyes of the lady were glowing as she said gently, “The defensive ability on this person’s body is really powerful, so I am unable to see exactly who they are.”
Then, the lady eyed the 1st Mysterious Demon gravely. “This should probably be a conspiracy. You have to be careful.”
The 1st Mysterious Demon’s eyes glowed coldly as he scoffed. “Although I don’t know who is plotting against me, those damn humans will be taught an unforgettable lesson for trying this. He he… I think the preparations for the Sealed Sky City should be almost done. It is probably time to set off.”
The lady immediately nodded. “We were originally scheduled to set off in a few days. Now that your younger brother is in trouble, it would naturally be better to set off earlier.”
As the two of them conversed, the lady said in a serious tone, “1st Mysterious Demon, you have to remember that you are the 1st Mysterious Demon first and the 99th Mysterious Demon’s older brother second.”
As soon as she said that, the lady disappeared like a breeze.
On a drab gray planet, Luo Yunyang was waiting silently. Beside him was a flickering gold cage made of light.
The 99th Mysterious Demon’s power had already been sealed up by Luo Yunyang and trapped inside this cage. Although the 99th Mysterious Demon’s mental state wasn’t weak, Luo Yunyang had already gone through all the information in his mind.
The 1st Mysterious Demon’s cultivation had already reached the eighth-level Heavenly Venerate!
Luo Yunyang wasn’t too surprised by this information. What put pressure on him was that some time ago, the 1st Mysterious Demon had taken three moves in a match against a Yuan Venerate yet hadn’t been at a disadvantage.
Although that match had happened mostly for the sake of swapping pointers, being on equal footing with a Yuan Venerate already displayed how much the 1st Mysterious Demon’s power had improved.
Luo Yunyang had improved, but the 1st Mysterious Demon had been improving too!
With that in mind, Luo Yunyang felt a little more eager to fight the 1st Mysterious Demon.
Eh!
Luo Yunyang frowned when his communication device rang. He had gotten this communication device in the Sealed Sky City, so it hadn’t really rung before.
He opened the communication device and saw the message. “The Sealed Sky City has fallen!”
