Chapter 472: Chapter 473: The Earth Demon Realm (4th Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

This Demonic Realm is the lair of the Demonic Sect; just like Beimang Academy, it is an independent space.

The Demonic Sect is one of the largest sects in the Northern region. Even though it is hidden underground, every person from the Northern region has heard of the existence of the Demonic Sect.

Beimang Academy is one of the sworn enemies of the Demonic Sect. One operates in the light, the other in the shadows, constantly at odds with each other.

And now, this mission is actually to venture into the lair of the Demonic Sect.

If any of the stronger members of the Demonic Sect knew of their presence, Chu Fengmian and his group would certainly be directly eradicated.

Every year, many disciples perish at the hands of the other side.

After all, the enmity between Beimang Academy and the Demonic Sect can be described as a fight to the death.

"Shut up!"

Lei Jue gave Hua Xin a glare and said with a cold huff.

"Just follow me closely, and nothing will happen. We’re only in the outskirts of the Demonic Realm. It’s sparsely populated. Our mission this time is to go to a cave and destroy an altar within."

"Follow me."

Having said that, Lei Jue’s figure moved, transforming into a streak of fleeing light and flew off.

Chu Fengmian and the others hurriedly followed. This place was no longer Beimang Academy, and in the Demonic Realm, dangers lurked everywhere. They could only follow Lei Jue’s lead.

On their way, everyone was extremely cautious and tense, fearing detection.

Finally, after two hours, the group landed in front of a cave.

This cave contained endless demonic intent. Waves of demonic intent were emanating from within.

This demonic intent was so potent that even a saint entering it would be invaded and demonized by the demonic intent.

The entire Demonic Realm was like a domain of demons, an absolute treasure land and a paradise for the demonic cultivators of the Demonic Sect.

But for martial artists like Chu Fengmian, this demonic intent was extremely lethal. Once invaded into the body, one could be influenced by the demonic intent.

At best, it would deepen the control of the Heart Demon; at worst, one could be directly controlled by the demon nature, degenerate into a demon, and become a killer monster.

Seeing the countless demonic intentions surging from the cave, everyone’s faces showed fear. The demonic intent could invade the body of a martial artist, making everyone want to flee the place immediately.

But no one dared to actually flee. This was the Demonic Realm; even if they ran, there was nowhere to escape. Without Lei Jue’s guidance, they might not even find their way back.

Not fleeing meant there was a chance to live; once fled, even if one returned to Beimang Academy, they would be charged with the crime of deserting in the face of the enemy and would be executed.

So, despite the present dangers, no one dared to flee the battlefield.

"Let’s go."

Lei Jue glanced at the cave and stepped in directly.

"Come in quickly. If you attract the demons of the Demonic Sect, all of you will die together!"

The moment Lei Jue entered, he did not forget to threaten in a cold voice.

"Those who run, die!"

"Let’s go, let’s go in."

Although Qin Mang looked terrified, he could only bite the bullet and enter; indeed, at this time, there was no escape.

"It’s fine. As long as we complete the mission, we can leave immediately."

Chu Fengmian chuckled lightly and stepped directly into the cave.

Although the cave seemed fraught with danger, Chu Fengmian was not afraid at all.

Fearing such danger, why even cultivate Martial Arts? Every great master has faced countless challenges before transforming into what they are.

"Let’s go!"

The other three exchanged glances, each with a resolute cry, and entered the cave.

At first glance, the cave appeared bottomless, with numerous branches creating a labyrinth of complex pathways, its true size unknown.

"People from the Demonic Sect are fond of excavating such caves to cultivate demonic intent and practice their skills. This must be one of the Demonic Sect’s branches,"

Chu Fengmian thought silently to himself as he stepped into the cave.

He somewhat understood his mission this time—it must involve a certain altar deep within these caves.

Chu Fengmian and his group’s task was to destroy that very altar.

Chu Fengmian opened his Spiritual Sense and sensed a massive surge of Spiritual Power at the deepest part of the cave, but he couldn’t discern what it was.

His Spiritual Sense, too, was significantly impaired by the demonic intent, but it was likely the location of the altar.

"The demonic intent in this cave is quite troublesome indeed,"

Chu Fengmian muttered as he followed Lei Jue deeper into the cave.

The demonic intent near the perimeter, terrifying as it was, could easily be dealt with by martial artists of their strength.

However, as Chu Fengmian and his companions ventured further into the depths, the demonic intent emitted became increasingly potent.

They were nearing the point where consuming Spiritual Power was necessary just to resist it.

"We must use Spiritual Power to counteract the demonic intent here,"

Lei Jue suddenly said, pointing at Mang Tong.

"You, go to the front. Use your Spiritual Power to fend off the demonic intent!"

"What? I have to fend it off all by myself?"

Mang Tong’s face paled at Lei Jue’s command.

The demonic intent here was constantly eroding the martial artist’s inner self.

Mang Tong could handle his own share of demonic intent, but now Lei Jue was asking him to resist the demonic intent for all five of them, which made his complexion shift.

To withstand the demonic intent for five people might quickly deplete his Spiritual Power, and in such perilous conditions, being void of Spiritual Power likely meant a swift demise.

Lei Jue’s intention was clear—he was using Mang Tong as cannon fodder, making him clear the way ahead.

"What? You’re not willing?"

Lei Jue’s gaze turned icy as he saw Mang Tong’s reaction.

"Useless fool, do as I say. If you don’t withstand the demonic intent, I’ll kill you now!"

Lei Jue’s eyes flared with unmistakable intent to kill as he spoke.

The threat in his words was real, ready to strike at any moment.

None expected Lei Jue to turn so openly hostile at this juncture.

Mang Tong’s face showed panic as he stammered,

"You, you’re a disciple from Beimang Academy, if you kill me, the Academy will punish you."

Hearing this, Lei Jue’s face showed disdain,

"Killing a few wastes like you wouldn’t lead to punishment from the Academy. Besides, who in this Demonic Realm would even know?"

"Boy, hurry up and block the demonic intent. Complete the mission and I might reward you. If you fail to recognize the situation, I’ll kill you right now!"
