"Since you can even find out such a secret, why don't you go and investigate it yourself?" Hu Chunman's magic power was scattered by Lu Xiaotian, and he felt as if his bones were being pulled out. At this moment, he knew that he had no chance of surviving, so he was no longer as fearful as before, and became extremely carefree.
Lu Xiaotian's face turned cold. Since he couldn't get anything else out of Hu Chunman, there was no longer any value in keeping him alive.
With a spurt of magic power, Mysterious Fire Flying Needles shot out from Hu Chunman's forehead and dantian. In the blink of an eye, Hu Chunman was reduced to a corpse. As for his primordial spirit, it was burned to a crisp by the needles.
After killing Hu Chunman, Lu Xiaotian no longer cared about the other low-level members of his race. Lu Xiaotian took Hu Chunman's spatial ring and was about to say a few words to Xiang Kuo and the others when he suddenly heard a familiar sound transmission. He immediately frowned and told Xiang Kuo and the others to do their own things. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared into the distant sea of fire.
"After we parted ways at Devil Fall Valley, you entered the True Wood Realm. You actually came to find me so quickly. You really have guts. Aren't you afraid that Devil Monarch Heaven Reaching will come again?" Contrary to Lu Xiaotian's expectations, the one who transmitted the sound was actually the devil shadow.
Following the guidance of the devil shadow, Lu Xiaotian easily entered a place more than three thousand feet below the surface. The roots that had absorbed the Wood Ying Core twisted like snakes under the ground. They faintly covered a small door.
The aura of the devil shadow was coming from inside.
"Lu Daoyou, since I dared to contact you, you don't need to use Devil Monarch Heaven Reaching to pressure me." The devil shadow transmitted the sound from inside.
"Didn't you say that I spoiled your plans in Devil Fall Valley and that you would pay me back with interest? Looking at you now, it doesn't seem like you're here to find trouble with me. "
Lu Xiaotian couldn't figure out what the devil shadow was planning. "Since Hu Chunman is your chess piece, it doesn't seem right for me to kill him."
"I only told you that because I wanted the Heavenly Reach Devil Monarch to hear it. Let him think that there is no possibility of reconciliation between us. As for Hu Chunman, he knows some things, and it's not convenient for him to continue living. Moreover, Hu Chunman's death will more or less make the Heaven Reaching Devil Monarch believe that the conflict between us is irreconcilable. "
"It seems that if the Integration Stage old monster of the Wind Snow Holy Sect and I hadn't accidentally barged into the Devilfall Valley, and if the Heavenspan Demon Monarch hadn't arranged for your Earth Demon Bloodstain to be taken away, you would indeed have a way to deal with me." Lu Xiaotian's heart trembled when he heard this. After witnessing the power of this Demon Shadow in Devilfall Valley, Lu Xiaotian was extremely afraid of him.
"Of course I have my ways. You're not weak, and most of my assets are in Devilfall Valley. You've seen it for yourself. Through my arrangements, I can indeed secretly transfer some of my trump cards to the Scarlet Moon Desert. Only then will I have confidence in dealing with you. It's a pity that things don't go as planned. I didn't expect that you would come knocking on my door before I even made a move. "
"Fortunately, I've prepared a path of retreat for myself. The current situation isn't too bad. However, if I want to make a comeback, apart from relying on you, I don't have a better method or candidate. "
"Why should I cooperate with you? It seems that you're very confident in this?" Lu Xiaotian's tone was surprised. Up until now, the Demon Shadow's words were reasonable and similar to his own conjecture. However, Lu Xiaotian didn't think that there was a need for him to cooperate with him.
"Of course there is. As long as there are enough benefits, you will naturally cooperate with me." The Demon Shadow chuckled.
"What is it? You're so confident that you can arouse my interest? " Lu Xiaotian asked. Regardless of how this Demon Shadow was scheming against the Heaven Reaching Devil Monarch, his courage alone was enough to make Lu Xiaotian have a whole new level of respect for him.
"Scarlet Star Ascending Heaven Realm! “
The Demon Shadow's simple words caused Lu Xiaotian's eyes to abruptly widen. "That's easy for you to say. If you knew about this realm, you could've made a deal with someone else. Why did you come to me?"
If one wanted to cultivate to the Mahayana Realm, it was no longer as simple as relying on ordinary pills. Pills weren't the primary condition for a breakthrough. Whether a cultivator could make a breakthrough or not depended on their aptitude, perception, and luck.
If one's cultivation base wasn't high enough and their perception wasn't high enough, then no matter how many pills they had, it would only be a waste of time. Lu Xiaotian had consumed a large number of pills in his early years, but he had braved all sorts of perilous situations countless times and had almost used his life to make up for his lack of aptitude.
Apart from a very small number of extremely talented cultivators, most people had cultivated to a certain level, but were still a step away. Pills just so happened to be able to make up for this gap that most people couldn't achieve with their own strength. As such, from the perspective of an ordinary person, it was indeed impossible to make a breakthrough without pills.
If a late-Body Integration cultivator wanted to break through to the Mahayana Realm, they would have to undergo a complete transformation, not only in magic power, but also in the primordial spirit. In the end, pills could only be used as support. In the entire cultivation world, the strongest Mahayana Sect basically came from the various super sects of the various races. Apart from their accumulated resources, various pill recipes, systematic cultivation methods, and inherited forging techniques for magic treasures, the most important thing was that they had grasped the method to enter the Mahayana Realm.
These super sects had comprehensive resources, and weren't something that ordinary small Sects or new powers could compare to.
The Crimson Astral Skyscraper Realm was a place that late-Body Integration cultivators yearned for even in their dreams. Through ordinary cultivation, it was less than one in a hundred to break through the shackles of late-Body Integration. However, after entering the Crimson Astral Skyscraper Realm, the chances of breaking through would greatly increase.
A place like the Crimson Astral Skyscraper Realm was like a small space, and the entrance to this space was usually controlled by a large Sect. In order to protect this entrance and send people in, these super Sects would have to pay an unimaginable price.
However, there were always exceptions. The entrance to this secret realm wasn't always the same. Occasionally, it would appear in other places, but the chances of that were extremely small.
"The entrance you're talking about isn't one of those extremely dangerous ones, is it?" After the initial shock, Lu Xiaotian came back to his senses. Most of the entrances to secret realms like this were under the control of the super sects.
There were also those that were extremely unstable, and even Mahayana experts would have to face extreme danger if they wanted to enter. The terrifying spatial distortions could even severely injure Mahayana experts, and even kill them on the spot.
No matter how bold Lu Xiaotian was, it would be difficult for him to encounter such an entrance.
"Although it's a bit dangerous, there's always a way to ease the spatial distortions in a short time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to find you," said the specter.
"What way?"
