Ye Chen could not help but be stunned.
He was thinking about how to get rid of the two of them, but he was spared because he was good-looking.
The reason gave him a strange feeling.
However, since there was no danger for the time being, he chose to stay silent. Instead of running around in his current state, he might as well endure it and figure out the situation.
The demon leader seemed to do such things often. He studied Ye Chen's appearance and subsequently tied him up with a magic weapon before taking him away.
The blood-red sun dimmed significantly. The dark red sunlight shone on the narrow path in the valley. The roars of demons came from the withered forest on both sides, sending chills down one's spine.
The man-eating demon was especially excited. He pointed at Ye Chen and asked the demon leader, "Hall, what do you think the Queen will reward us when we return to the settlement?"
Hall smiled. He was also very happy to be able to catch someone as good-looking as Ye Chen. He said in satisfaction, "Demon Queen Samantha likes those beautiful human male cultivators. She'll definitely reward you handsomely if you serve her in bed."
At this point, the man-eating demon trembled all over and said to Hall softly, "I saw the Demon Queen Medusa eating those human male cultivators last time. She won't let them die. She'll eat them bit by bit before dying. It's a life worse than death."
Hall was furious when he heard that and scolded, "Shut up!"
A demon that had just eaten a human was afraid. How cruel was the Demon Queen Medusa's way of eating?
Ye Chen listened quietly as his eyes flickered.
He learned that this place seemed to be the gathering place of the Devil Tribe — the Holy Tuo Tribe. The leader of this tribe was a female demon who appeared to be at the Void Tempering Stage. She was known as Mei Mansa, and she was extremely lecherous. She liked to keep beautiful male cultivators as pets.
She would swallow any human cultivator after she was tired of playing with them.
Ye Chen could not help but wonder if he had really been teleported to the Demon Realm.
Along the way, Hall kept a close watch on Ye Chen. Soon, he was escorted to the Demon Tribe's settlement.
As soon as he entered the settlement, Ye Chen saw a shocking scene.
There were mines on both sides of the gate. Many human cultivators were enslaved and had their feet shackled as they dug for ore.
If anyone slacked off or made any strange movements, the demon next to them would whip them.
With a loud slap, the skin on their backs split open and flesh splattered everywhere. There were even demons who swallowed human cultivators alive in front of everyone's eyes.
The other human cultivators continued to work, as if they were used to it. There was no emotion in their eyes, only numbness, as if being eaten by the demons was a form of release and despair.
Ye Chen had never thought that the humans enslaved by the Demons would live like this.
He couldn't help but think of Earth. If he hadn't defeated the Devil Lord, would Earth have suffered the same fate and his family would have been eaten?
Thinking of this, a ball of anger rose in his heart. He glanced at the Demonic Cultivator with a murderous look.
Hall brought him into the dungeon. The environment inside was even worse, and the human cultivators were even more miserable.
The dark dungeon was incomparably humid. The human cultivators were locked up in cages all around. Their scapulae were shackled and their cultivation was sealed. They were hung on the wall, on the verge of death, like walking corpses.
"Hahaha."
A demon's wanton laughter came from ahead. Ye Chen's expression turned grim when he passed by.
When Hall saw his expression, he sneered. "You humans are destined to be slaves of the Sacred Tribe!"
Ye Chen sighed to himself.
If not for the fact that he had lost his cultivation base, he would have started a massacre long ago.
He saw some young demons torturing and killing human cultivators. Some demons were on the bodies of human female cultivators and even wriggling wildly on the corpses. They were worse than beasts.
Ye Chen closed his eyes tightly, not wanting to watch anymore.
It was as if he had passed through a very long and dark passage. Ye Chen was thrown into the dungeon. The demons beside him held the torture tools in their hands and were about to pierce through Ye Chen's scapulae.
When Hall saw this, he flew into a rage. He kicked the demon away and lectured loudly, "This person is a tribute to the Lord Demon Lord. Don't hurt him. Watch him well."
Then, he turned around and left.
After all the demons had left the dungeon, Ye Chen looked around.
Seeing the cultivators imprisoned with him, they all turned their heads to look at him sympathetically.
An old cultivator in the corner glanced at him and could not help but say sympathetically, "That coquettish witch has another gigolo now."
Were they speaking the Spirit Realm language?
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Were they cultivators from the Spirit Realm? Was this not the Demon Realm?
Thinking to this point, Ye Chen could not help but ask in the Spirit Realm language, "Fellow cultivators, what is this place?"
The old man from before looked at him in surprise. "Fellow cultivator, you don't know that this is the Shengtuo Tribe?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, something went wrong in my cultivation, causing my memory and cultivation base to be damaged …"
When everyone heard this, they shook their heads in unison.
The old man sighed helplessly and said slowly, "This is called the Heavenly Yuan Territory. It's a realm in the Spirit Realm."
"Heavenly Yuan Territory?"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed.
Millions of years ago, the Spirit Realm was still a whole. However, following the successive wars with the Demon Realm and the Underworld, the Spirit Realm was shattered into countless fragments.
The Heavenly Yuan Territory happened to be one of the fragments.
However, the Heavenly Yuan Territory was a demon disaster area. Other than a small number of human settlements, most of them were demon settlements.
The demon tribe enslaved all human cultivators. Only a small number of human powerhouses formed their own territory and survived the encirclement of demon powerhouses.
This Demon King Samantha was one of the 36 Demon Kings of the Heavenly Origin Stage. She was a Demon General, and her cultivation was equivalent to the Void Training Stage. This place was called the Shengtuo Tribe. Above her were 18 Demon Emperors of the Soul Severing Stage and 9 Demon Masters of the Body Integration Stage.
Subsequently, the old cultivator cried emotionally, "Those demon beasts crippled the human cultivators' cultivation base after capturing them. They fed them Demonic Dissolving Powder and made them do manual labor. They were responsible for mining, feeding demonic beasts, and so on. Some of them …"
He was sobbing at the end.
Ye Chen shook his head lightly. He had seen those people earlier. They were probably living a life worse than death.
Thinking to this point, he could not help but worry about the Patriarch of Hell, Ye Wushuang, and the rest.
It seemed like he had to recover his strength as soon as possible.
He secretly made up his mind and asked, "Why can't I feel the existence of spiritual energy in this world?"
Along the way, Ye Chen was surprised to find that there was no spiritual energy here. His dried-up spirit vein did not absorb any spiritual energy at all.
The cultivator next to him sighed and explained, "A Demon Realm almighty has converted the spiritual energy into demonic energy in this world. This world is no longer suitable for human cultivators to cultivate."
"Is there any way to absorb spiritual energy to recover my strength?" Ye Chen asked while frowning.
The cultivator shook his head. "Yes, the mine outside is used to mine spirit stones. You can recover your strength with spirit stones. However, the Demon Clan has a strict control over spirit stones. It's almost impossible to get spirit stones."
