Chapter 6042 Continuing to Explore Deeper
“Looks like this trip to the Burial God Mountains was worthwhile.”
He returned the token to Ming Li, saying, “Since this belongs to the Ghost Clan, please keep it safe. Perhaps it can help you find your fellow clan members.”
Ming Li glanced at him gratefully and solemnly kept the token fragment.
The two of them searched the stone hall again and found several damaged ghost clan artifacts as well as some ancient materials, resulting in quite a large discovery.
After leaving the stone hall, we continued our journey westward.
The rest of the journey was relatively calm, although there were still dangers, but everything was under control for both of them.
Twenty days later, they finally crossed the Burial God Mountains and arrived in the Western Region.
The sight before them made both of them frown.
In contrast to the icy plains and snow-capped rivers of the North and the green mountains and clear waters of the Central Region, the Western Region is the endless Gobi Desert.
Yellow sand filled the sky, and barren land stretched for thousands of miles.
The scorching hot wind cut like knives, stirring up clouds of dust.
The air was filled with a dry and silent atmosphere, and the spiritual energy was thin and turbulent.
Sometimes, you can see some dead poplar trees and cacti, as well as animal bones scattered among the sand dunes.
“The Western Region… is indeed a harsh environment.”
Ming Li sighed, “No wonder this place is called the Land of Exile. Surviving and cultivating here is ten times more difficult than in other great realms.”
However, he seemed to be deep in thought: “The harsher the environment, the stronger one’s character. The demons who can survive here must be extraordinary.”
The two adjusted their direction and flew towards the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains as mentioned by True God Hanyuan.
The further one goes into the West, the harsher the environment becomes.
Sandstorms, quicksand, venomous scorpions, sand snakes… all sorts of dangers keep popping up.
The temperature difference between day and night is extreme; an egg can mature during the day, while a stone can crack due to the cold of the night.
However, both of them were very skilled at farming, so these natural hazards could not harm them.
What really worried them was the increasing presence of human activity, or more precisely, traces of Protoss activity.
Three days later, they discovered the first Protoss stronghold on the edge of a dry riverbed.
It was a simple but heavily guarded fortress, built of thick stone, with Protoss guards patrolling along the walls, and several small airships hovering above the fortress, their detection arrays flashing.
Around the fort, there were scattered demon corpses, some rotting and some still fresh, clearly having just died.
“The fortress of the gods to slay the demons.”
His eyes were as cold as ice. “It seems Master Hanyuan’s words were true. The God Clan has bloody suppressed the Demon Clan’s resistance.”
The two passed through the fort and continued their journey deeper into the area.
The further you go into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, the denser the fortress of the gods becomes, and the more demon corpses you find.
The faint smell of blood filled the air, which even the wind and sand could not dispel.
Every now and then, traces of small-scale battles can still be seen: collapsed hills, scorched earth, and fragments of magical artifacts…
“Mr. Chen, the situation is worse than we thought.”
Ming Li’s expression was serious. “The God Clan’s influence here is deeply rooted, and the Demon Clan’s resistance forces are likely in a difficult situation.”
Nodding, he said, “First, let’s find the demon race resistance force and understand the specific situation. Acting blindly will only harm ourselves.”
According to Han Yuan Zhenren’s map, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is located in the central part of the Western Regions. This mountain range is extremely vast, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles. It was once the holy land of the demon race, but now it has become a key area for the gods to conquer.
After flying for another five days, the two finally saw the outline of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.
It was an endless row of crimson mountains, like a giant dragon lying on the earth.
This mountain range features towering peaks and jagged rocks, with views of dilapidated buildings and ancient demon totems.
But by then, many mountains had been leveled, many valleys had been filled in, and the battlefield was nothing but scars.
Above the mountains, Protoss scout drones circled, their detectors sweeping the ground.
“We can’t fly anymore, or we’ll be discovered.”
whispered, and the two landed on the ground, hiding their presence and using the terrain as cover to move silently deeper into the mountains.
After entering the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
This place used to be crowded, but now it feels numb.
Sometimes, people might see a few demons who managed to survive, but they were all covered in wounds, their eyes filled with terror, hiding in caves or underground burrows, not daring to show themselves easily.
and Ming Li captured several lone demons and used soul searching techniques to gather information, finally compiling a picture of the current situation in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains:
The Demon Subduing Hall, stationed in the Western Region by the Divine Race, was led by a Demon Subduing Venerable at the peak of the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm. Under his command were five great demon kings, all of whom were demon traitors who had defected to the Divine Race, three thousand Divine Race guards, and tens of thousands of demon servants.
The demon race resistance forces were led by the “Golden-Winged Roc King,” the “Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox,” and the “Mountain-Moving Giant Ape.”
At its peak, the group had 100,000 demon soldiers, but after years of bloody battles, it now numbers less than 30,000, divided and besieged in several dangerous places, and barely surviving.
The Golden-Winged Roc King was severely injured and fled; his whereabouts are unknown.
The nine-tailed celestial fox is trapped in the Illusion Array, its fate unknown.
The giant ape capable of moving mountains was suppressed under the demon sealing formation of the gods, suffering the torment of soul refining day and night.
The remaining resistance is now led by several demon generals, who stubbornly hold out in Tianyao Valley, the deepest part of the Wanyao Mountains. However, they are in a precarious situation and could be annihilated by the gods at any moment.
“Tianyao Valley…”
noted the name of the place, thinking, “That might be our only breakthrough.”
The two of them managed to avoid the divine patrols and secretly made their way to Heavenly Demon Valley.
What I saw along the way was shocking.
Burnt-down demon villages, mountains of demon corpses, demon heads displayed on flagpoles… the gods used the bloodiest methods to demonstrate their dominance, attempting to completely destroy the demons’ will to resist.
“These animals…”
Ming Li gritted her teeth. Although she wasn’t a demon, she came from a race oppressed by the gods and felt the same way.
His eyes were cold, and he didn’t speak, but the killing intent in his heart grew stronger.
Three days later, they finally approached the Heavenly Demon Valley area.
The terrain here is steep, surrounded by mountains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But currently, the outer perimeter of Heavenly Demon Valley was already surrounded by divine troops, making it completely impassable.
In the sky, dozens of divine spaceships circled, forming a sealing formation.
On the mainland, temporary fortresses stood one after another, with divine guards and demonic servants patrolling back and forth.
Furthermore, there are numerous detection arrays that will sound an alarm even at the slightest disturbance.
