Chapter 1068 - Chapter 1068 Chapter 933 Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land

Chapter 1068: Chapter 933: Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land Chapter 1068: Chapter 933: Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land Chu Mu had always been very curious about where the White Nightmare Demons of the Nightmare Demon Palace actually came from.

In the Soul Hall of World City, the Seven Holy Regions serve as the foundation for the entire Soul Hall, inhabited by the Soul Pets that the Soul Hall venerates as the Seven Great Holy Pets. This special Holy Domain space is controlled solely by the Soul Hall, effectively giving them a territory within an independent space. This allows the Soul Hall to continuously obtain young pets of the Holy Pets.

Chu Mu did not know if the Nightmare Demon Palace obtained them in the same way. However, today, from Crown Prince Shen Mo of the Nightmare Demon Palace, Chu Mu received confirmation: The Nightmare Demon Palace also possesses a Holy Domain–the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm.

The Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm has another name, and that is the Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land!

The Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land is far more terrifying than the other Holy Regions because most of the creatures that live there possess demonic, evil, and nefarious natures. They unleash their fiercest attacks upon any intruders and chase them relentlessly until their death!

Oftentimes, the people of the Nightmare Demon Palace refer to the creatures inside the Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land as a group of devils waiting in the darkness and chaos for prey to amuse themselves with!

The eight Holy Regions of the Soul Hall and the Nightmare Demon Palace are very special independent spaces. Until now, Chu Mu still didn’t understand whether they were like the completely sealed spaces of Immortal City or merely a miniaturized version of a vast Soul Pets World.

The gate to the Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land is not located in World City, but hidden within the Main Nightmare Demon Palace. Chu Mu found it peculiar that the Seven Holy Regions of the Soul Hall were in World City, while the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm of the Nightmare Demon Palace was in Wanxiang City.

…

Below the Nightmare Demon Palace, clumps of pale White Demonic Flames flickered in the cold Underground Palace, casting light on the lifelike and frighteningly eerie murals and statues. It almost felt as though the group of eternally sealed inanimate objects was collectively gazing at one, enough to make the faint-hearted lose the courage to walk past.

Five long shadows stretched along the icy staircase, descending further into the darkness where green, blue, and white demonic flames could occasionally be seen hanging on the walls–like ever-changing, deceitful, and ugly faces of devils. Even Chu Mu, a man of great courage, couldn’t help but feel an indescribable sense of eeriness being amongst them.

“This is the dark corridor of our Demon Palace. The walls around us are constructed from compressed Soul Cores and Soul Crystals, which are imbued with exceptionally stable barriers. Even Dominator-level creatures would need a considerable amount of time to break through them,” Shen Mo explained in a low voice to Chu Mu.

“Quite the luxury,” Chu Mu remarked. Only the filthy rich Nightmare Demon Palace could afford to construct such an Underground Palace with the precious compressed Soul Crystals and Soul Cores.

Chu Mu and Shen Mo were walking at the back. Ahead of them were three people–the most powerful ruler of the entire Nightmare Demon Palace, Jiang Demon Emperor!

Jiang Demon Emperor was tall and sturdily built, solemn without frivolity, his whole presence exuding a deadly vibe.

Upon seeing this Jiang Demon Emperor, Chu Mu thought to himself that the emperor must have once been a butcher!

The so-called murderous aura was not entirely a personal temperament. A significant part was due to the haunting of Dead Souls.

In this World, undead creatures existed. When living beings were killed, their souls would leave their bodies to become ghosts. Most ghosts harbored resentment towards those who killed them, often lingering around the killers for a long time before dispersing.

Ghosts were very ephemeral by nature. A few undispersing ghosts wouldn’t impact the living, but when there were many, over time, this “haunting” effect would manifest and form what is known as a murderous aura!

Thus, Chu Mu deduced that this Jiang Demon Emperor must have once been a very cruel butcher, at least Chu Mu had never seen anyone with a more intense murderous aura than him.

Of course, speaking of a murderous aura, Chu Mu’s was even more terrifying. During the year of his demonization in the Southern Forbidden Region, Chu Mu had witnessed the demise of countless lives, with numerous ghosts haunting him persistently!

Standing to the left of Jiang Demon Emperor was Grand Elder Shen Qiu, someone Chu Mu was somewhat familiar with. Shen Qiu held the second rank in terms of strength in the Nightmare Demon Palace. Chu Mu had never seen him take action, but during his time in Spirit City, just Shen Qiu’s presence as an Elder was enough to suppress the Soul Covenant members such as Zhu Chao, Zhu Yi, and Yang Que–clearly, Shen Qiu’s strength was indeed mightier than those ranked at the Desolate Rank!

The individual to the right of Jiang Demon Emperor was a stranger to Chu Mu. Shen Mo informed him that he was a retired powerhouse of the Nightmare Demon Palace, not holding any position and unknown to other forces. Yet, this elder commanded enough respect from Jiang Demon Emperor to suggest he was an extremely powerful and high-ranking hermit of the world.

This old hermit was dressed in a worn gray robe that almost covered his eyes, revealing only his wrinkled nose and chapped lips, with his pointed chin tucked into his pointed collar. Chu Mu felt upon first glance that this person seemed very keen on not being seen.

No matter how much the old hermit tried to hide, it was certain that he was a Nine Thoughts Soul Emperor!

Both Jiang Demon Emperor and Elder Shen were only Eight-thought Soul Emperors, and as far as Chu Mu knew, almost all the Elders, those in Desolate Rank, and the Absolute Strongest hovered at the level of Eight Thoughts, with very few ever reaching Nine Thoughts.

“It seems like those who reached Nine Thoughts all had Dominator-level spirit pets at some point,” Chu Mu muttered to himself.

Mu Qingyi was Nine Thoughts, Xia Zhixian was Nine Thoughts, Xiong Shou whom he had briefly encountered was Nine Thoughts, and even the Blind Old Man was Nine Thoughts. To this day, Chu Mu had not met any Eight Thoughts individuals with Dominator-level spirit pets, nor any Nine Thoughts individuals with only Invincible Emperors.

“`

The four people Shen Mo had mentioned to Chu Mu, who were merely aware of the fact that the Nightmare Demon Ancestor was in critical danger, were precisely the four, including Shen Mo himself, who accompanied Chu Mu to the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm.

As for why these four individuals with significant control over Nightmare Demon Palace wanted to share this secret with him, Chu Mu did not have an explanation for now. He could only follow them into the Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land, seeking answers slowly.

The entrance to the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm was somewhat similar to the Seven Holy Regions Gate, also a giant ancient and solemn stone gate. What differed, however, was that under this stone gate, a blazing Demon Flame burned, even spreading over the gate itself, emitting an aura that sent chills to the soul!

“Demon Guard Elder, please open the gate to the Sacred Realm,” Jiang Demon Emperor said, standing beneath the stone gate and addressing the old man guarding this place.

The Nightmare Demon Palace had established only four Elders in reality, there were five; the fifth was the Demon Guard Elder who had been guarding the entrance to the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm year in and year out!

The Demon Guard Elder nodded and began reciting a spell!

Sibilant and baffling notes floated in the enclosed Darkness Palace, yet the Demon Flame on the large stone gate seemed to possess its life, responding to these commanding sounds, starting to dance along a particular trajectory at extremely high speed!!

The speed of the Demon Flame grew faster and faster, forming a massive luminous outline on the stone gate during its rapid revolutions. Then, the interior designs and runes of the outline gradually became rich and connected from end to end!

Eventually, the entire Demon Flame totem became clear, branded on the massive stone gate, exuding a mysterious and sinister aura!

“Boom, boom, boom, boom~~~~~~~~~~~”

As the Demon Guard Elder finished the last note, the ancient doors began to open slowly!

A ray of darkness caught one’s eye, and as the door opened gradually, this ray widened continuously, expanding into a completely black curtain occupying one’s entire vision!

Standing outside the gate, Chu Mu felt a dense darkness rushing towards him that made him shiver slightly and nearly step back a few paces!

At this moment, Jiang Demon Emperor and his two companions deliberately looked back at Chu Mu.

When they noticed Chu Mu standing motionless, surprise flickered in their eyes.

A moment later, Elder Shen Qiu spoke, “When each of us first faced the opening of the Nightmare Demon Gate, we all took several steps back. It’s said that some Elders even got so scared they rolled down the stairs.”

Hearing Elder Shen Qiu’s explanation, Chu Mu couldn’t help but smile bitterly; it seemed these three unscrupulous characters just wanted to see if he would embarrass himself.

Chu Mu himself possessed a Dark sub-attribute, but it was clear that the dark aura of the Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land was aggressive. Without any defenses, anyone would be startled by the sudden sight and feel a tingling scalp.

Jiang Demon Emperor led the way, stepping first into the thick darkness.

The others followed suit.

The Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land was an expanse of darkness with nothing else, including the ground beneath one’s feet, which also seemed to be made of darkness. Standing there looking down felt like standing atop an abyss, the illusion of potentially falling at any moment was a real test of one’s mental fortitude.

However, it was not a place of absolute darkness because absolute darkness would not allow you to see your own hand in front of your face.

As he stepped in, Chu Mu could not only see himself, but he could also clearly make out the four people beside him. This strange phenomenon was hard to explain, similar to the various peculiar space prohibitions within the Seven Holy regions.

In the deepest darkness, there were no objects, whether one’s eyes were open or closed, all that could be seen was darkness, similar to the environment that Mu Qingyi and he had once entered in the Ice Mirror World.

Fortunately, Shen Mo told Chu Mu that this was merely the true dark corridor and it wouldn’t last too long.

Indeed, after traveling for about half an hour on their Soul Pets, they could see light ahead!

“There’s still a considerable distance from the resting place of the Nightmare Demon Ancestor. It would be wise to be cautious along the way. Many powerful clans, tribes, even empires are residing here. If we accidentally anger them, escaping will become extremely difficult,” Shen Mo warned Chu Mu, who was entering the Nightmare Demon Forbidden Land for the first time.

Chu Mu nodded, but thought to himself: When I return to World City, I should explore those Holy Regions too. After all, each Holy Region seems to contain the vast empires of other species, suggesting the Holyland is likely a very vast kingdom territory. (To be continued.
