(Author's note: I came back a little late after killing the subject's Second Monarch, so the updates are slow.)
"Finally got rid of him." Chu Mu heaved a sigh of relief. This was because he could no longer sense any aura pursuing him, nor did he sense any danger.
Just now, it was really a close call. However, Chu Mu did not find it strange. Ever since he entered the Infernal domain, he had encountered similar dangers several times, but he always managed to avert them.
"It's about time to leave the Infernal domain." Chu Mu silently calculated. The half-year mission was about to end, and it was time to leave. "After I return, I can get at least a thousand clan points. With those clan points, I can properly improve my strength."
Whether it was training or doing missions to earn clan points, there was only one ultimate goal, and that was to improve himself in all aspects.
After making this decision, Chu Mu quickly flew towards the entrance of the Infernal domain. Not long after he flew out, he felt that there was an aura below him that was attracting him. This aura was very mysterious, and it made Chu Mu decide to take a look. This might delay his departure, but Chu Mu would grasp it well.
Very quickly, Chu Mu landed. The ground was shattered and collapsed everywhere, emitting an ancient and desolate aura. It could be seen that a great battle had once occurred here. Perhaps it wasn't just one battle, but it should have happened a long time ago.
The aura that attracted Chu Mu was indistinct and difficult to capture. Chu Mu calmed down and carefully sensed the location of the aura. He slowly eliminated it and slowly approached it.
"It's here." Chu Mu looked at the area that he had spent half a day to eliminate. It was about a thousand meters in radius, and the aura that was attracting him was within this thousand meter area.
Or perhaps, it was hidden underground.
Therefore, Chu Mu became a diligent excavator and began to dig the ground.
The Infernal domain's ground was very hard, especially this kind of ground that had been through many great battles. After the impact of various abilities, it had become even harder. This caused Chu Mu's excavation to be quite a hindrance.
However, as Chu Mu dug deeper, the feeling of the aura became clearer and clearer, proving that his direction was correct.
After digging for about a hundred meters, Chu Mu saw a corner of black. Clear fluctuations of aura were constantly spreading out from that corner of black.
"This is … the aura of Origin Energy …" Chu Mu was surprised and delighted as he stared at the black corner. He never thought that he would find something that emitted the aura of Origin Energy in the Demon Domain.
One had to know that after the Demigod Sovereigns of the various races joined forces to seal the Devil Region, only Great Emperor Realm Devils could appear. As for Sovereign Realm Devils, it was impossible for them to appear. Without Sovereign Realm Devils, there would be no source of origin.
From the looks of it, this black object emitting the aura of origin energy should have been left behind by the Sovereigns of the various races and the Sovereigns of the Demon Race a very, very long time ago. This was the only guess.
With a flick of the Li Perishing Sword, he picked up the black object. It was an irregular fragment.
When Chu Mu grabbed the fragment, he felt a piercing pain, as if he had been stabbed by a sword. Chu Mu could also feel the sharpness of a sword from this black fragment.
Without a doubt, this was a fragment of a sword. A fragment of a Sovereign Realm sword.
In fact, Chu Mu could even determine that this fragment belonged to a Sovereign Realm Devil Race Sovereign.
Chu Mu put away the sword fragment. He planned to take it back and study it carefully. Perhaps he could gain some benefits from it.
After sensing for a while and not sensing any other auras, Chu Mu took to the air again and flew in the direction of the Demon Domain's entrance. Learning from his previous experience, Chu Mu paid attention to the movements below as he flew. Unfortunately, he didn't discover anything by the time he reached the entrance of the Demon Domain.
The entrance of the Demon Domain was equivalent to the exit of the Demon Domain. It was covered by the power of the Demon Suppression Hall. If any Devil Race member approached, they would immediately be killed. It was equivalent to entering a relatively safe area of the Demon Domain.
"Chu Mu, you're back too." Chu Mu had just stepped into the range of the Demon Suppression Hall's power when someone called out to him. When he saw that it was Li Han, he smiled and said, "It's about time. I'll be back soon."
"Me too. I think Shen Lintao should be back soon." Li Han smiled.
Sure enough, Shen Lintao returned not long after. Besides them, the other people who were on the mission to comprehend and collect Devil Blood had also returned.
"This time, I'll win for sure." This was the first sentence Shen Lintao said when he returned. He looked very confident and solemn. Clearly, he had collected a lot of Devil Blood. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident.
"That's not necessarily true." Li Han smiled. Clearly, his harvest was not small either. Only Chu Mu smiled and didn't say anything.
"Chu Mu, don't tell me you didn't collect enough Devil Blood?" Shen Lintao looked at Chu Mu and smiled.
"It's alright. There's still some." Chu Mu said.
"Oh right, let's say this first. Since we're going to compete, there has to be a bet. Otherwise, it won't be interesting." Shen Lintao suddenly said.
"What bet?" Li Han asked. If they wanted to compete, there had to be a winner and a loser. This was more motivating. He wouldn't object, and neither would Chu Mu.
"Whoever gets the most Devil Blood in the end will be called the big brother of the other two. How about it?" Shen Lintao asked again.
To be honest, Shen Lintao's suggestion really surprised Li Han and Chu Mu.
"I have no problem." Li Han reacted quickly and said.
"Agreed." Chu Mu also said. Calling him big brother was just a form of address. It didn't mean anything.
"The two of you, just wait and see." Shen Lintao laughed.
The three entered the Demon Suppressing Hall again. Then, they went through the space-time gate of the Demon Suppressing Hall and returned to the Ancient Sword City before returning to the Outstanding Talents Camp.
When they arrived at the mission submission area, aside from Chu Mu's group, there were other outstanding talents waiting to submit their missions.
"Fifty-seven drops of low-grade Devil Blood and two drops of middle-grade Devil Blood. That's a total of sixty-seven Devil Blood."
Low-grade Devil Blood meant low-grade half-step Martial Emperor Demon Blood. Mid-grade Devil Blood meant middle-grade half-step Martial Emperor Demon Blood. This wasn't absolute. It was just a designation for this mission.
"One hundred and thirty drops of low-grade Devil Blood and three drops of middle-grade Devil Blood. That's a total of one hundred and forty-five Devil Blood."
Chu Mu and the other two waited in line, one by one. Soon, it was their turn.
Li Han was at the front of the line. He was the first to make the exchange. He took out the Devil Blood Pot and handed it to the other party.
"Three hundred and sixty-five drops of low-grade Devil Blood and twenty-three drops of middle-grade Devil Blood." The person in charge of the exchange said in surprise. This surprised the others as well. This was the person who had obtained the most Devil Blood among all the people who came to submit their missions.
This meant that, in theory, more than three hundred half-step Martial Emperors of the Demon Race had died under his sword. This achievement was undoubtedly shocking.
Li Han obtained four hundred and eighty Devil Blood Clan Points. This made him happy from the bottom of his heart. This was the most Devil Blood Clan Points he had obtained so far.
Next, it was Shen Lintao's turn. Shen Lintao was a little surprised when he heard the number of Devil Blood Clan Points Li Han had obtained. However, he still looked confident. This meant that he could obtain more Devil Blood Clan Points than Li Han.
"Three hundred and eighty-nine drops of low-grade Devil Blood and twenty-five drops of middle-grade Devil Blood."
The number of Devil Blood Clan Points Li Han had obtained was already very shocking. However, Shen Lintao's Devil Blood Clan Points Li Han had obtained was even more shocking.
Shen Lintao's Devil Blood Clan Points Li Han had obtained were five hundred and fourteen points.
Li Han was speechless. He had obtained a lot of Devil Blood Clan Points Li Han hadn't expected Shen Lintao to obtain more than him. Then, he looked at Chu Mu. Seeing his calm expression, he wondered if Chu Mu had obtained more Devil Blood Clan Points Li Han had obtained than him and Shen Lintao.
Thinking about it, Li Han felt that it was unlikely.
"Chu Mu, it's your turn." Shen Lintao felt joy from the bottom of his heart when he obtained more than five hundred Devil Blood Clan Points.
Chu Mu took out the Devil Blood Pot and handed it over. The person inspecting the Devil Blood Pot was stunned. After a while, he announced.
"One thousand one hundred and thirty drops of low-grade Devil Blood …"
When this sentence was said, everyone was dumbfounded. They felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their minds were in a mess, and they could not hear the rest of the words.
One thousand one hundred and thirty drops of low-grade Devil Blood. This meant that this person had killed one thousand one hundred and thirty low-grade Devil Race half-step Martial Emperors. One had to know that Devil Race half-step Martial Emperors weren't cabbages or weeds that could be harvested at will.
However, if it wasn't the Devil Blood obtained from killing low-grade Devil Race half-step Martial Emperors, then it was the Devil Blood refined from killing Holy Venerates. How many Holy Venerates did Li Han have to kill? A hundred thousand or more?
A Killing God, a great Killing God!
After everyone reacted, they looked at Chu Mu with shock and curiosity, but there was no fear.
Chu Mu's Devil Blood Pot contained one thousand one hundred and thirty drops of low-grade Devil Blood, eighty-six drops of mid-grade Devil Blood, and eight drops of high-grade Devil Blood. In total, he could obtain one thousand six hundred and forty clan points.
Shen Lintao and Li Han were both stunned. Not only was Li Han's Devil Blood Clan Points more than them, but it was also much more than the two of them combined. How did he obtain it?
Chu Mu was very happy when he 'saw' his Immemorial Sword City Medallion gain more than one thousand six hundred clan points. If he used these clan points well, it would be enough to raise his strength significantly.
"Big Brother," Li Han called out straightforwardly. He was someone who accepted the bet and accepted the loss. This was his character.
"Big Brother …" Shen Lintao wasn't that straightforward. However, he was the one who proposed the bet. Hence, he could only call out like this, even though he wasn't very willing.
"Brother Li, Brother Shen, you don't have to take it seriously." Chu Mu waved his hand. He could see Shen Lintao's resistance. However, to him, it didn't matter whether he was called Big Brother or not.
"You must accept the loss. Moreover, Big Brother, you have the ability. I am sincerely convinced," Li Han said.
"Big Brother Chu is too polite. I am ashamed." Shen Lintao cupped his hands and smiled. Although he knew that he was the one who proposed the bet and was unwilling to admit it now, he was still unwilling to call Chu Mu Big Brother. Since Chu Mu said so, he would go with the flow and accept it. Chu Mu didn't care about this.
