Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Ancient Demon Curse

Following closely behind it were two ancient demons, both extremely ferocious and terrifying.

At this moment, the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King had already sucked out all the True Demon Essence from the Sheep-headed Ancient Demon. After it flew out from the corpse of the ancient demon, the body of the Sheep-headed Ancient Demon turned directly into a pool of Black Water.

For ancient demons, the most important thing is the lump of True Demon Essence within their demon bodies.

This was their lifeblood.

Without the True Demon Essence, they would be completely dead.

Even the Eight Ancient Abilities of Ancient Times couldn’t extract the True Demon Essence from a demon corpse. Furthermore, with their notoriously cunning demon nature, even if they were chopped into mince, they could still resurrect.

If Chu Feng’s Evil Spirit King hadn’t advanced to become the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King, he wouldn’t have been able to accurately locate where the True Demon Essence was stored.

Naturally, he would not have been able to annihilate it.

With the Demon Eye, only then could it precisely lock onto the location of the True Demon Essence. Then it drilled in and successfully absorbed it.

Only the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King possesses this ability.

It is Shadowless and formless, also a demon, able to invade into a demon body.

"Meh~!"

After the Sheep-headed Ancient Demon’s body turned into Black Water, its sheep head shook violently, and an extremely terrible resentful curse spread from within it.

Eventually, it turned into a streak of Blood Radiance and shot towards Chu Feng.

The demon harbored a strong resentment towards Chu Feng for its demise because its death was caused by Chu Feng.

"I am a member of the Demon Clan from the Dragon Han’s Imperial Period; I have survived countless years without extinction! I never expected that today I would be killed by a weak little being like you. I am not willing, not willing... Now through the sacrifice of my demon soul, I draw upon the power of the Demon God to become the most venomous and overbearing Ancient Demon Death Curse, to cling to you for generations. Until your soul is scattered, my hatred shall not rest!"

The Sheep-headed Ancient Demon roared continuously, tears of blood flowing from its eyes.

Its expression was also ferociously hideous to the extreme.

A phantom with the body of a human and the head of a sheep materialized above its head. Then, like a devout believer, it bowed deeply before what lay ahead.

A vast and majestic magic power descended from the void.

Its demon soul, like a sand figure, slowly dissipated. Immediately afterward, one after another terribly ominous Evil Blood Curse Runes flew out from its mouth. They surged towards Chu Feng, circling above his head, gradually contracting.

Eventually, like a tight binding spell, it firmly placed itself around Chu Feng’s head.

The Ancient Demon Death Curse, which could only be cast through the sacrifice of an ancient demon’s soul, was unimaginably terrifying, and no one knew its true extent.

Chu Feng only knew the moment the Ancient Demon Death Curse flew towards him, he could only watch helplessly, unable to dodge, unable to resist. He could only let it descend upon his head.

After being ensnared by the magic curse, Chu Feng shivered violently.

His body did not feel significant discomfort, but his mood darkened, as if bad luck and ill omens were entangling him. Furthermore, thoughts of slaughter inexplicably filled his mind.

As if only through slaughter could he gain a sense of pleasure.

After casting the Ancient Demon Death Curse, the sheep head turned into a pool of Black Water. The Sheep-headed Ancient Demon was completely destroyed.

"Roar!"

The Tiger Head Ancient Demon let out a mournful roar, followed by the roars of the Ancient Bull-headed Demon and Wolf Head Ancient Demon behind it. Their eyes were fixed on Chu Feng, and even more terrifying Evil Qi enveloped the area.

Pressing down on Chu Feng so heavily that he struggled to breathe.

The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King swiftly returned to Chu Feng’s body.

"Let’s go!"

Chu Feng shouted to the Poison Eye Dragon King.

Facing three ferocious ancient demons, even the confident Poison Eye Dragon King didn’t dare to linger and immediately flew away on the Treasure Sword with Chu Feng.

Fortunately, there was no Anti-fly Restriction on the Third Level of the Demon Suppression Tower.

The strength of the three ancient demons had not yet recovered; they were not only unable to fly but also moved extremely slowly.

Of course, this slowness is only relative; in fact, their speed is still not slow.

"Master, this Ancient Demon Death Curse is very malicious and domineering. I have read about it in ancient texts and understand quite a bit about it," said the Poison Eye Dragon King with evident concern.

"Oh, tell me about it!"

Chu Feng stood on the Poison Eye Dragon King’s Treasure Sword, overlooking below, searching for the entrance to the Fourth Level.

He was also looking for traces of Han Dong.

The Third Level was so dangerous that Han Dong’s abilities might not be sufficient. The likelihood of his demise was very high.

"The Ancient Demon Death Curse not only brings catastrophes and misfortune but also affects your mind. It makes you bloodthirsty, cold and merciless, and estranged from kin. The worst thing is that it automatically absorbs surrounding Evil Qi, Killing Aura, and Evil Energy, turning you into a person full of malevolence," explained the Poison Eye Dragon King.

"It is extremely difficult to lift the Ancient Demon Death Curse. Even if one ascends to the Sword God Realm, they will still have to endure the constant pain that the curse brings."

The Poison Eye Dragon King recounted what he knew.

Although it was known that the Ancient Demon Death Curse wasn’t anything good, its severity was beyond expectation.

Chu Feng shuddered at the thought of becoming estranged from kin, bloodthirsty, and dreaded by all, transforming into a cold-blooded monster. It was truly terrifying.

Additionally, the prospect of being surrounded by bad luck and calamity was just as terrifying.

"I wonder if my Abnormal Fire, if elevated above Ninth Grade, could dispel the Ancient Demon Death Curse?" If Chu Feng had known earlier the severe consequences of killing the Sheep-headed Ancient Demon, he would not have allowed the Evil Spirit King to consume its True Demon Essence.

Alas, there were no pills for regret in the world; hopefully, the advantage gained by the Evil Spirit King would be substantial enough.

"Mokeboer, you bastard, you got off easy, while now I’m the one who has been deeply trapped. What is the use of absorbing that True Demon Essence?" Chu Feng could not help but ask.

"Master, please don’t be angry! Mokeboer guarantees that enduring this Ancient Demon Death Curse will be worth it. Once I refine the True Demon Essence, I can become immortal like the ancient demons. My abilities will significantly increase in all aspects," Mokeboer responded.

"Then, whether serving you or helping you kill enemies, I will be able to achieve great merits."

The Evil Spirit King kept giving assurances, fearful that Chu Feng would slap it to death on the spot.

"If one day I ascend to become the Thousand-Eyed Evil Spirit King, maybe I can help you remove the Ancient Demon Death Curse!"

To avoid being punished by Chu Feng, it desperately made one empty promise after another.

Seeing that the creature had a decent attitude, Chu Feng let it be and refrained from further reprimanding it.

The Poison Eye Dragon King continued flying forward with Chu Feng but did not encounter any more ancient demons or discover any Treasure Swords.

On the ground, there were occasionally corpses that had been sucked dry.

These people were most likely killed by the ancient demons.

It seems the Third Level of the Demon Suppression Tower had become a nightmare for many. Some fell while others were scared away; the number of experts entering the Fourth Level would significantly drop.

After searching for some time, Chu Feng and the Poison Eye Dragon King finally found the entrance to the Fourth Level.

"Poison Eye Dragon King, continue to pretend you don’t know me. Just follow my orders from the shadows," Chu Feng instructed.

After setting Chu Feng down, the Poison Eye Dragon King took the lead and flew into the Fourth Level to scout ahead.

Looking down from above the Third Level, the Fourth Level glimmered with silver light, dazzlingly beautiful.
