"Humans?" The huge face showed a slightly angry expression. "Damn it! To open the seal, all the altars must be broken. Are you sure all the altars have been broken? "
"Yes, absolutely." Carfe nodded quickly.
"Damn humans!!!" The huge face roared.
The deafening roar even stirred up the clouds in the sky, causing them to churn violently, forming large patches of dense dark clouds. Lightning flashed, and thunder roared. The sky darkened.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Fortunately, the Demonic Abyss hasn't been broken … "
"Bam!!"
Carfe's body was fiercely smashed by an invisible force. The center of his chest suddenly caved in, and many of his ribs were broken in an instant.
It was as if he had been smashed by a giant war hammer from above, smashing a huge bowl-shaped pit in the sand around him.
"What do you know?! Trash!! You're all trash!! "The face roared." She must have come out! Definitely! That monster! That despicable, damned monster!! "
Carfe spat out a mouthful of purple blood. His head was dizzy from the hit, and he didn't understand what the face was saying.
"Your Majesty …"
"Divine Bell." The face ignored him and called someone else's name.
Countless grains of yellow sand rose up and quickly condensed into a human figure. After the sand dispersed, a slender, graceful, and beautiful silhouette was revealed.
"Your Majesty. I await your orders. "The figure knelt on one knee, her ample breasts touching the ground. The black skirt armor behind her spread out, revealing a perky butt wrapped in a thin layer of black chiffon. Under the sunlight, it shone seductively.
"You're the most familiar with humans. Go. Capture the person who broke the Demonic Abyss seal and bring him back," the face said in a low voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The figure slowly stood up and raised her head, revealing a pitiful, delicate, and pure face.
If anyone from the Shangyang Family was here, they would immediately recognize the owner of this face. It was the former number one genius of the Shangyang Family, Shangyang Fei!
Shangyang Fei was wearing a tight black leather armor, and her lower body was covered by a metal sword-shaped skirt armor. Her legs were covered by a thin black gauze that looked like silk stockings, which could be vaguely seen through the skirt armor.
However, her feet were no longer the normal soles of a human's feet. Her feet seemed to be wearing black leather boots and were covered with ferocious black barbs. There was also a blood-red cross symbol on the back of her feet that flickered with a faint red light.
The giant face slowly dissipated, leaving only Ancient Devil Carfe and Shangyang Fei standing up in place.
"Give me all the information you have." Shangyang Fei tidied up her silky black hair and said to Carfe.
"A mere Demon General …" Carfe felt aggrieved. The other party only had the strength of a Demon General, not even a Demon King, while he was a peak Demon King! It was the Ancient Devil! It was the powerful Ancient Demon King of the Earth Source, Carfe, who had guarded the Demon Abyss for thousands of years!
Under normal circumstances, if a mere Demon General dared to speak to him like this, he would have long since swallowed him whole.
But right now, Shangyang Fei was emanating a dangerous aura, one that came from His Majesty. He didn't dare to move at all.
"His Majesty left a clone on me. When the time is right, it will appear. Lord Carfe, you don't have to worry about whether I can complete the mission. "Shangyang Fei smiled.
"Really? Then I'm relieved. " Carfe's face darkened. He raised his hand slightly, and a black leather scroll that he had prepared earlier flew towards Shangyang Fei.
"Snap."
Shangyang Fei caught it and slowly unfolded it.
"Eh?" She immediately recognized the person drawn on the scroll.
Wasn't this the Northern Barbarian under Shangyang Jiuli's command?
She stretched out her slender index finger and gently touched the portrait. The corner of her mouth curled up in interest.
"It's this person. He hid his strength well! I don't know what Divine Weapon or Devil Blade he fused with, but he's definitely no weaker than me. "Carfe believed that if he hadn't been careless, he wouldn't have lost so quickly.
"Interesting …" Shangyang Fei rolled up the scroll. "Lord Carfe, such a top-notch expert would lower himself to hide among a bunch of weaklings. What kind of secret is he hiding? I'm really looking forward to it … "
Carfe didn't care what kind of secret this Divine Bell was hiding, so he just told her what he had done.
"I left a sliver of my Devil Essence on him. That person can absorb Devil Essence and turn it into his own power. But he definitely doesn't know that my Devil Essence carries a special wave that even His Majesty can't get rid of. The Devil Abyss is filled with a lot of my Devil Essence, and he took it all. So, as long as you're within a hundred miles of him, you'll be able to sense his approximate location. "
He peeled off a small piece of purplish-black scale from under the black robe and tossed it lightly. The scale flew in front of Shangyang Fei and landed lightly in her palm.
"Hold it, and you'll be able to track that person," Carfe said coldly.
"Understood. Wait for my good news, Lord Carfe." Shangyang Fei smiled.
Carfe's face twitched, but he didn't reply. He'd ruined His Majesty's plan. If it weren't for his thousand years of service, he'd be lucky not to be killed on the spot.
"That person should be in the Great Yin Dynasty. That's His Majesty Vera's territory. Are you sure you don't need my help?" He still wanted to redeem himself.
"Of course … I don't need it." A dark blue mark flashed across Shangyang Fei's forehead. It looked like a bolt of lightning, or a tree branch.
"With His Majesty's avatar here, even a Devil Master can't escape. As long as I use my human identity to hide, what's there to worry about? "
… …
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a white stone building. This building looked like a cathedral with a flat roof. There were many gray, rectangular glass windows on the surface, and two human-faced snake statues on both sides of the door.
Lu Sheng's group slowly got off the carriage and walked towards the two gray-robed men guarding the door.
"We're from Sleeping Moon County." Yun Xiufei took out a document and handed it to the guard.
Lu Sheng and Wang Yunlong also took out a document and handed it to the guard.
The guard checked it, took out a stamp-like object from his waist, and lightly stamped it on the three documents.
"Please come in. There will be someone inside to receive you."
Yun Xiufei nodded and led the way into the building. After passing through the door, there was an oval-shaped brass pool. It spewed out a light green liquid and emitted a faint fragrance.
A few men and women in black leaned against the pool and discussed something in low voices.
Lu Sheng noticed that the clothes these men and women were wearing resembled tight-fitting military uniforms. Silver and white chains hung from their shoulders, which seemed to be some sort of identification symbol.
One of the women in black stepped forward and nodded at the three.
"Sleeping Moon County's referees, follow me. I'll arrange your accommodations first. I'm sorry, but all the referees from each county have used up the maximum number of slots, so the accommodations are a bit crowded. Please don't mind. "
"Not at all, we're not here to play. Passing the test is our top priority," Wang Yunlong replied calmly.
The woman smiled and didn't say anything else.
The three of them were quickly arranged into a small, ordinary house on the right side of the building.
Five rows of small houses were neatly placed next to each other, forming a perfect square. It was a stark contrast to the buildings on the side.
The three of them each had their own room. Lu Sheng put down his luggage and went out to walk around.
There was still a barrier absorbing essence energy above his head. In order to not attract attention, he purposely let out wisps of essence energy to make it hard for others to notice.
Passing through the building, they walked to the back. There were three towers more than ten stories behind them. The three towers were surrounded by an empty space in the middle.
Lu Sheng circled around the empty ground. He roughly recognized some of the testing devices placed on it.
There were already people taking the test in the empty space. It was a group of similarly young youths. They looked like they were recommended by other counties.
Unfortunately, not many of the candidates from the other counties had reached the minimum standard of approval.
The man in black in charge of the test had an impatient look on his face. He crossed his arms and stared at the country boys lining up to take the test.
For the people of the county capital, although there were outstanding people from other counties, there were very few of them. Most of them were crooked. Even if they came to the county capital, they wouldn't be able to keep up with the completely different teaching methods here.
Lu Sheng stood to the side and watched for a while. After gaining some understanding, he returned to his room to rest and cultivate his True Qi at the same time.
Because he didn't have access to the node of the essence energy barrier, his progress was much slower. But even so, the amount of essence energy that flowed in here was forty to sixty percent higher than the average in Sleeping Moon County.
Just by staying here, he could feel the essence energy continuously flowing into his body.
"The first recommendation … is it a test of speed, strength, and Essence Qi absorption rate?" Lu Sheng figured out the test items.
He sat cross-legged in the middle of the room and pondered while cultivating his True Qi.
If he wanted to attract attention as quickly as possible without being too shocking, he knew that he had to display shocking talent within a reasonable range.
Lu Sheng had read about it in the books. Because many people had different bloodlines, people like him were not rare. It was only in a small county town that he stood out. In fact, in other places, there were many people with special bloodlines who also had great talent. Monstrous strength was just one of them. In the county capital, this level of strength wasn't rare. There were also many who reached the Realm of Bind in terms of pure strength. Many of them had demon bloodlines, or had very concentrated bloodlines.
According to the books, those who could cultivate True Qi to the Human Essence Realm were people with different bloodlines. Ordinary people, on the other hand, could no longer improve their bodies when they approached the Human Essence Realm, and would fall into a physiological bottleneck.
The so-called Human Essence Realm was actually the Realm of Bind.
"Ordinary people without bloodlines can only get infinitely close to the Realm of Bind, and can't absorb more essence energy than their limit. Only those with bloodlines can use essence energy as fuel to strengthen their bloodlines when they reach the limit. From there, they can step into the Human Essence Realm. "
Lu Sheng recalled the words in the books, and compared them. He understood that this was the absolute difference between the ordinary people of the Great Yin Dynasty and the bloodline families.
"On the surface, we, the node users, all rose up from ordinary people, but in reality, we all have Divine Weapon bloodlines in us." Lu Sheng could vaguely discern the crux of the matter.
Ordinary people could only become fodder, and only those with bloodlines could become masters. The Great Yin was more like a strengthened version of the Hundred Lineages Sect. In other words, the Hundred Lineages Sect most likely learned the system of the Great Yin Dynasty. Unfortunately, they didn't learn the essence of the Essence Qi barrier.
