Chapter 1375: Chapter 1238: Demon Tomb Cliff, the Grave of the Demon Spirit Chapter 1375: Chapter 1238: Demon Tomb Cliff, the Grave of the Demon Spirit “Young Master, from five thousand meters to ten thousand meters, this is a threshold. For Demon Tomb Island, the areas below ten thousand meters probably only belong to the Outer Island. To cross from the five thousand meters zone to the ten thousand meters zone is going to be much more difficult,” Master Li said.

Laid out before Chu Mu was a highland that had abruptly risen from the ground. The vertical drop from where Chu Mu stood to this highland was at least five thousand meters, and it was completely vertical with no slope at all.

Streams of white waterfalls cascaded from the clouds and thunderously crashed into the pond on the next island layer, sending water spraying and creating beautiful rainbows under the sunlight.

Standing at such a cliff-like drop, looking up at the Central Island, whose top was completely out of sight, an overwhelming pressure weighed on Chu Mu.

A height of five thousand meters was nothing for Emperor-level creatures.

Yet, it was this very drop of five thousand meters that clearly separated the habitats of the Emperor-level creatures from those of the Dominator-level creatures. Countless Demon Spirits dared to climb, but how many could climb up and continue to survive in the ten thousand meters of Demon Tomb?

“There are… so many skeletons here,” Princess Jinrou said softly.

As Chu Mu had walked this way, he had gradually noticed many corpses haphazardly discarded.

Most of these corpses belonged to Demon Spirits, mostly at the Emperor level–something almost impossible to encounter in any other territory.

But here, they were like the lowest level of servants, their corpses everywhere. On this section of the path alone, Chu Mu had seen at least a thousand decaying and still-bleeding corpses.

Given the vast expanse of the Demon Tomb’s Central and Outer Island cliffs, Chu Mu couldn’t begin to estimate the breadth. He was on a very minor path, just one of the routes to Demon Tomb Central Island, yet there were over a thousand corpses. One can only imagine how many Soul Pets’ souls and lives this five thousand meters cliff had crushed!

This was the outermost graveyard for Demon Spirits on the entire island!

“Demon Tomb, Demon Tomb, this truly is a tomb of Demon Spirits!” Chu Mu exclaimed.

“Speaking of which, why can’t the Emperor-level creatures fly up the five thousand meters?” Princess Jinrou asked curiously.

“See for yourself,” Chu Mu said.

Just as Princess Jinrou was puzzled, from the high bushes nearby slowly emerged a Demon Spirit that was as thin as monkey claws but incredibly sharp.

“A Blood Drinking Demon?” Princess Jinrou’s gaze locked onto the Blood Drinking Demon.

Princess Jinrou could feel that the Blood Drinking Demon had reached the Peak Emperor level, which definitely belonged to the dominator class in the foreign Demon Tomb Island.

The Blood Drinking Demon’s blood-red eyes coldly glanced at Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou. After a moment, it seemingly realized that Chu Mu was trouble, and it continued its walk towards the five thousand meters cliff.

“Ga!!”

A skeleton was crushed into dust under the Blood Drinking Demon’s foot. It looked up at the cliff, suddenly quickened its pace, and with an agile leap, nailed itself on the cliff at a one thousand meters height.

The Blood Drinking Demon, frozen on the vertical cliff, suddenly expanded its body again and started running swiftly up the sheer cliff using its claws!

The Blood Drinking Demon’s actions had already allowed it to enter the misty clouds above, and by the time Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou looked up, they could only see a blurry shadow sprinting up the cliff.

“Squeak squeak squeak squeak!! Squeak!!!!!”

“Hiss hiss hiss!!!!!! Hiss hiss tear!!!!!!”

Suddenly, a cacophony of loud sounds came from above the cliff in the clouds. Using his Soul Sense, Chu Mu glimpsed numerous creatures swarming out from within the cliff and rapidly gathering toward the location the Blood Drinking Demon was trying to pass!

The clouds were being wildly stirred, and the piercing noises continued unabated. Even without seeing the situation above, one could imagine that the Blood Drinking Demon was now surrounded by thousands of cliff guardians…

Moments later, the disturbances above the cliff in the clouds finally ceased, and Chu Mu saw many sharp-winged figures enter the cliff.

It seemed like some of the clouds had dispersed at this time. Chu Mu, startled, found that aside from waterfalls, there were also many caverns hidden under lush plants on the five thousand meters cliff, and those densely packed cliff guardians had flown out from those caverns. Any creature that tried to climb or fly up this cliff would surely alarm them!

“Snap!!!!!!!!!”

As Chu Mu was watching intently, a skinny, white skeleton violently fell from above, heavily crashing onto the rocks below!

This skeleton was still covered with blood, but from now on, it would be buried here, becoming one of the countless skeletons in the outer Demon Tomb.

Seeing this, Princess Jinrou’s eyes widened in horror.

“Terrifying… how terrifying,” Princess Jinrou said, her heart pounding.

Just moments ago, that was a Peak Emperor-level Blood Drinking Demon, vigorous and alive, yet it had not climbed even halfway before turning into a corpse, never expecting that even the life of an Emperor-level creature could be so fragile in Demon Tomb!

Chu Mu nodded in undeniable agreement as he considered the number of Demon Tomb cliff Guardians that had appeared just now–even creatures nearing the Quasi-Dominator level would face numerous troubles if they tried to force their way through.

“This Blood Drinking Demon is too impulsive,” Fox Elder said. “To cross this outer Demon Tomb takes a very long time, as one must slowly find a safe path step by step. Otherwise, even at the Quasi-Dominator level, a moment of inattention could leave one gnawed down to white bones.”

“Is there a path to be found?” Princess Jinrou asked.

“Of course, the Dominator-level resources are all up there. Of the tens of millions of Demon Spirits living on this outer island, at most one reaches the Dominator level. Most of the Emperor-level creatures have a hard time obtaining this opportunity. If they are brave, then they challenge the Demon Tomb cliff. Only by stepping onto the Demon Tomb Cliff will their chances of becoming Dominators increase,” Fox Elder explained.

“If they force their way without reaching the Quasi-Dominator level, it’s no different from seeking death. Only through countless trials, step by step climbing, and constantly finding the resting patterns of the cliff Guardians as well as some blind spots, can one possibly achieve the climb.”

Fox Elder’s words made Chu Mu think of something, his brows furrowing thoughtfully as he looked at the cliff.

Chu Mu vaguely remembered that after acquiring the Dream of Oblivion, Ye’s life force had fluctuated frequently.

The feeling was actually very faint, and Chu Mu did not know what it was at that time. But now, thinking back, could it have been that Ye was climbing this very cliff then?

Ye had enough calmness; it would not act as recklessly as that Blood Drinking Demon…

And it must have undergone countless trials before climbing to the Watchful Cliff.

After reaching the Emperor level, Ye parted ways with Chu Mu, unlike Chu Mu’s other Soul Pets which could obtain Spirit Items and Xuan Objects from him. On its own, indeed, only such a thorny and perilous path could make it stronger!

Chu Mu looked at the towering cliff filled with bones below faintly seeing, through the mist, the black, cold figure of Ye trying and failing, again and again.

“At least it made it across.” After a long while, Chu Mu said softly.

He raised his head, looking up at the cloud-shrouded cliff.

Chu Mu did not fly directly to the higher Demon Tomb because he felt this was a path he should walk together with Ye. Since Ye had already walked it, even if time had separated them, he too must walk it again…

“Let me see just how high you actually climbed!”

Chu Mu recited a spell, summoning the Ice-Feathered Spirit and the Demon Tree Warrior.

Both the Ice-Feathered Spirit and Demon Tree Warrior needed training, and Chu Mu was very aware of the strength of the cliff Guardians. If they were in groups, they would definitely pose a threat to Dominator-level creatures.

Gliding along the cliff, the crystal-clear Ning floated beside Chu Mu, her bright eyes sizing up the caverns concealed by dense vegetation.

The Demon Tree Warrior could easily climb using its arms, which were so long they could even reach directly to the top of the cliff, but presumably, the Guardians would not allow the Demon Tree Warrior to climb so easily.

Sure enough, just as Chu Mu and the Soul Pets had started climbing the cliff, a disturbance arose from the densely packed caves on the cliff face.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!!!!!!!!!!”

“Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!!!!!!!!!!!!”

At a position less than ten meters from Chu Mu, a four-winged flying snake burst out of a cave, its ferocious and terrifying eyes glaring angrily at Ning.

Shortly afterward, at a position twenty meters behind Chu Mu, a Blade-Winged Bat Demon burst out from a cave, its blade-like wings making a metallic sound as they scraped together.

With another strange cry, the third cliff Guardian appeared in Chu Mu’s view.

The fourth, fifth… the tenth…

Pairs of blade wings and flesh wings, like huge leaves, swung outside the cliff, a multitude of angry eyes like stars in the sky surrounding Chu Mu, faces fierce…

Dozens of cliff Guardians were just the beginning. As Chu Mu climbed, more and more cliff Guardians appeared, densely packed, leaving Chu Mu unable to see any gaps.

The air was filled with a foul smell, and the chaotic winds and breaths pummeled him.

Chu Mu clung to the cliff, watching thousands of four-winged flying snakes and Blade-Winged Bat Demons fly towards him, but his heart swelled with dissatisfaction.

It wasn’t enough; the number of these Guardians was far from enough. Both Ning and the Demon Tree Warrior could easily annihilate them!

“Demon Tree, knock into their caves, bring all the cliff Guardians together!” Chu Mu instructed the Demon Tree Warrior.

Both Ning and the Demon Tree Warrior were still low-grade Masters, and Chu Mu needed to strengthen them so he could elevate his Soul Sense to the Medium Thoughts level. The cliff offered countless enemies, enough to train them, but thousands of creatures from the Watchful cliff were definitely insufficient for the low-grade Master level Ning and Demon Tree Warrior to gain experience!
