Not far away, a man in black armor with a cold expression walked through the air. Behind him were dozens of cultivators, three of which were True Demons and the rest were Celestial Immortals.
Below the Prison Suppressing Cauldron, Gu Tongyou recognized these people and quickly sent a message to Wu Dao's main body, "Patriarch Araki Takeshi, be careful. These people should be cultivators from the Black Demon Sect."
"The Black Demon Sect is a Heaven-rank force in the Demon Domain. It is said that Patriarch Black Sky Demon God has cultivated to the peak of the Grotto Heaven realm and is extremely strong. He is one of the overlords of the Central Plains!"
"Black Demon Sect!"
Yan Zui, who was on the verge of despair, saw the clothes of these people and the tokens at their waists. He immediately recognized them and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"Save me! Fellow Daoists of the Black Demon Sect, please save me!"
Yan Zui hurriedly said.
Wu Dao's main body looked up at the approaching group and ignored them. He indifferently said, "No one can save you today."
Before his voice fell, Wu Dao's main body gently raised his hand and a scarlet flame burst out from his fingertip. It was like a sharp sword that instantly pierced between Yan Zui's eyebrows!
"Stop!"
The leader of the Black Demon Sect saw Wu Dao's main body raise his hand and hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was already too late.
Puchi!
Yan Zui's forehead was pierced and his Spiritual Sea burned. His Primordial Spirit was extinguished and he died on the spot!
"How dare you!"
A True Demon from the Black Demon Sect stepped forward and pointed at Wu Dao's main body. He shouted, "Protector Zong Yan already told you to stop. Did you not hear him?"
"I think you are courting death!"
Another True Demon narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, his face filled with killing intent.
The leader of the Black Demon Sect called Zong Yan raised his hand and stopped the two True Demons behind him.
Zong Yan looked at Yan Zui's corpse and a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.
No matter what, Yan Zui was once a supreme True Demon and had the highest chance of entering the Grotto Heaven realm.
If they could save him and make him submit to the Black Demon Sect, he would be a great help to the Patriarch.
Now that he was dead, it was a pity.
However, since this purple-robed man with a silver mask was able to kill Yan Zui, it meant that he was stronger than Yan Zui!
If he could subdue it, it would make up for the loss of Yan Zui.
It was just that Zong Yan's consciousness had probed Wu Dao's body several times, but he was still unable to see through him.
However, Just Now, Wu Dao's main body had made a move and the remnant aura on the battlefield could be roughly deduced that this purple-robed man should be a True Self cultivator.
Zong Yan glanced at Feng Cantian, who was breaking through under the Prison Suppressing Cauldron. He thought to himself, "Patriarch is really amazing. Feng Cantian hasn't broken through yet, but he can already feel the abnormal fluctuations coming from here."
Feng Can Tian was in the middle of a breakthrough, so Zong Yan didn't disturb him.
If Feng Can Tian successfully broke through, he would take out the Dark Sky Devil's Patriarch's Token and bring Feng Can Tian back.
"I am Zong Yan, a protector of the Black Demon Sect."
Zong Yan looked at Wu Dao's main body and asked in a low voice, "What is your name?"
"Araki Takeshi."
Wu Dao's main body replied casually, then turned around to tidy up the battlefield and put away the Dao Fruits of Yan Zui, Fairy Zihe, and the others.
Each of these Dao Fruits contained their own Dao Arts and the essence of their cultivation.
To any True Self cultivator, Dao Fruits were a great supplement. They were a rare cultivation resource and the most precious!
Wu Dao's main body refined all Dao Fruits, so these Dao Fruits were of great help to him.
Moreover, refining these Dao Fruits could also refine Wu Dao's True Self body.
Zong Yan was a half-step Grotto-Heaven Realm expert, so refining Dao Fruits was useless.
However, the eyes of the three true demons behind him lit up with greed, and they were itching to make a move.
"Protector, what do you think …"
One of the True Demons asked in a low voice.
Zong Yan's expression was indifferent. He was not in a hurry.
After Wu Dao's main body collected all the Dao Fruits, Zong Yan said, "Araki Takeshi, give me those Dao Fruits and a few Pure Yang Spirit Treasures. You can keep the rest of the treasures."
"Oh?"
Wu Dao's main body raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't you understand?"
Zong Yan's lips curled into a cold smile. He said loudly, "Everything under the heavens belongs to the king. The place you are in belongs to the Black Demon Sect! All the treasures in the territory belong to the Black Demon Sect. No matter who obtains them, they must be handed over! "
"The fact that I didn't ask for all the treasures you've obtained is already an extra favor for you."
Wu Dao's main body was expressionless. He asked in return, "What if I don't hand them over?"
Zong Yan laughed.
The three True Demons and dozens of Sky Immortals behind him also laughed.
Did this True Demon in front of them want to fight against a colossus like the Black Demon Sect?
That was simply throwing an egg at a rock, a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
"You killed Yan Zui and the others. Do you really think you are invincible in the world?"
Zong Yan walked toward Wu Dao's main body and shook his head. "It seems that it is time to dampen your spirit and let you see who is the master of this territory!"
Zong Yan strode forward and attacked first. Suddenly, a pitch-black iron mace appeared in his palm and smashed down at the head of the Martial Dao True Body!
This mace was powerful and extremely ferocious.
Wu Dao's main body didn't dodge. He raised his hand and punched!
Bang!
The iron mace hit Wu Dao's main body's fist and was defeated.
Wu Dao's main body frowned slightly and took half a step back!
The void behind Zong Yan collapsed slightly, but no Grotto-Heaven appeared. There was only a blurry shadow of a Grotto-Heaven!
Half-step Grotto-Heaven!
Over the years, Wu Dao's main body had browsed through many ancient books and secret techniques. There were very detailed records of half-step Grotto-Heaven.
To be precise, half-step Grotto-Heaven couldn't be considered as a cultivation realm.
When one's Dao Fruit shattered, they could make use of the immense power released from the shattered Dao Fruit to break through the void and open up another Grotto-Heaven.
However, the process was filled with danger and uncertainty!
If one's Dao Fruit wasn't strong enough or their Dao technique wasn't condensed enough, there was a high chance that their Dao Fruit would shatter without being able to open up a Grotto-Heaven.
If one's Dao Fruit shattered without a Grotto-Heaven formed, it would be equivalent to their entire cultivation being destroyed!
Therefore, during the process of breaking through, if a cultivator sensed that something was amiss and their strength was depleted, the chances of opening up a Grotto-Heaven were slim, they could choose to take a step back.
They could make use of the power of the shattered Dao Fruit to form a Grotto-Heaven phantom.
They were considered as having half a step into the Grotto-Heaven realm and had already come into contact with the power of the Grotto-Heaven realm. That was a half-step Grotto-Heaven realm!
There were two benefits to being a half-step Grotto-Heaven realm.
Firstly, because they had already come into contact with the Grotto-Heaven realm, their lifespan would increase exponentially to a million years.
Secondly, a half-step Grotto-Heaven realm cultivator could release a trace of the power of the Grotto-Heaven.
Although it was only a trace, in terms of strength, it was above Quintessential Essence and could crush True Self realm experts!
However, there was also a disadvantage that many people could not accept if a cultivator chose to be a half-step Grotto-Heaven realm cultivator.
That was, if one chose to take a step back and stay at the half-step Grotto-Heaven realm, they would have no hope of stepping into the true Grotto-Heaven realm for the rest of their lives!
That was because the Dao Fruit had already shattered and turned into a Grotto-Heaven phantom.
Cultivators did not have enough strength to support it and open up another Grotto-Heaven.
Therefore, although there was no Heavenly Tribulation when a cultivator tried to break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm, it was accompanied by immense danger!
Or, he could choose a half-step Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator and never have the chance to become a King.
One could also focus on breaking through the barrier of the Grotto-Heaven realm and not retreat. If they failed, their cultivation would be destroyed and they would fall to the bottom of the valley, vanishing from the masses!
