The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1066 - Chapter 1066 Chapter 1065 Young Powerhouse of the Demon Clan

Chapter 1066: Chapter 1065: Young Powerhouse of the Demon Clan Chapter 1066: Chapter 1065: Young Powerhouse of the Demon Clan Within Ancient Demon Ridge, besides the Ancient Demons that lived for tens of thousands of years, there were also some young Demon Beasts.

These young Demon Beasts were the emerging strong ones from various Demon Beast clans, each one either with a special bloodline or unique talents; any one of them picked out at random would have the strength to sweep across those at the same level.

The reason these young Demon Beasts entered Ancient Demon Ridge was to gain the opportunity to cultivate under the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.

Every ten years, the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree would bloom once again, and cultivating under it during the blooming period would bring immense benefits.

The Ancient Demons weren’t qualified to obtain these benefits, only the newly adult young Demon Beasts who could compete for the chance based on their own strength were eligible for this opportunity.

To gain this opportunity, the young powerhouse Demon Beasts from various clans gathered in Ancient Demon Ridge, with a buzz comparable to the competition among the Nine Countries’ Talents.

However, there were only ten slots available to cultivate under the Sacred Tree, so most young Demon Beasts were doomed to leave in dejection, with only the ten strongest young powerhouses remaining.

But at this moment, these young Demon Beasts gathered at Ancient Demon Ridge felt extremely discontented.

The reason was simple; one of the ten slots for the Sacred Tree cultivation had been allocated to someone from the Human Clan, who was not a Demon Beast.

This had infuriated these proud young Demon Beasts. With only ten precious slots, difficult enough to compete for, yet they had to give up one slot to a mere Human Clan member. What kind of logic was that? Did it imply that the young strong ones from the Human Clan were superior to those from the Demon Clan?

Even the best-tempered young Demon Beast would feel an unquenchable rage in their heart, not to mention that none of these young Demon Beasts were exactly known for having a good temper.

“This is truly infuriating!” Within the gathering place of the young Demon Beasts, indignant voices rose.

Looking around, these young Demon Beasts had already taken human form, no longer confined to their Demon Beast bodies, but each one emitted an incredibly dense Demon Qi, which was astonishing to witness. When collectively around, the Demon Qi soared to the heavens, making it difficult for mortals to approach.

“I really don’t understand why one slot must be given to a mere member of the Human Clan. It seems there has never been such a precedent,” a red-haired young man spoke, full of resentment.

This red-haired young man had an alarmingly powerful Demon Qi and a robust figure that seemed to be bursting with explosive power. His voice was thunderous, resounding like muffled thunder.

On the other side, a gaunt man sneered, “I heard it was Lord Demon Saint’s decision. If you, Xiong Li, are dissatisfied, you can go and complain to Lord Demon Saint.”

Hearing the words of this gaunt man, the other young Demon Beasts all had a slight change in expression; Lord Demon Saint’s decision was not something they could easily debate.

“Hmph! Even if it’s Lord Demon Saint’s decision, it’s too hard for us to accept, letting us lose one cultivation slot just like that. Has anyone even asked for our opinion?” Another young woman, dressed in white, spoke with a cold voice.

This woman’s Demon Qi was also extraordinary, carrying a bone-chilling coldness. Her hair was as white as snow, as were her eyebrows, as if she had walked right out of the snow.

“That Human Clan member is apparently in seclusion within Ancient Demon Ridge right now, but no one knows where exactly. Otherwise, we would definitely drag him out to see what kind of thing he really is,” said a chubby young man, with a necklace made of baby skulls around his neck, incredibly ferocious and terrifying.

The other young Demon Beasts showed a look of disgust upon seeing this fat youth speak; although they were all Demon Beasts, even they couldn’t stand his style of doing things.

Bloodthirsty by nature, he especially liked to eat infants raw and then string their skulls around his neck.

Had it not been for the powerful tribe backing the corpulent youth, along with the protection of Ancient Demons, it’s likely he would have long been slain by the might of the Human Clan.

“He Jinfeng, why don’t you speak? Don’t you have any opinion on this matter?” Red-haired Xiong Li looked towards a silently meditating youth nearby and asked with a furrowed brow.

That youth, known as He Jinfeng, was clad in a robe of black and white, his long hair tied behind him. With clear eyebrows, handsome eyes, red lips, and pearly teeth, he possessed an ethereal charm that made him seem detached from the world.

He Jinfeng opened his eyes, his gaze deep, and said lightly, “The matter is settled, further discussion is pointless.”

After speaking, He Jinfeng closed his eyes again, seemingly indifferent to the matters the other young Demon Beasts were discussing.

Seeing this, Xiong Li and others did not inquire further. He Jinfeng was one of the most formidable figures among them, and also one of the most outstanding young powerhouses of the Demon Beast clan. Virtually all Demon Beasts agreed that He Jinfeng was a shoo-in, bound to receive a Sacred Tree cultivation quota.

However, despite He Jinfeng seemingly indifferent to the quota, in reality, he cared greatly and even harbored some dissatisfaction towards the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

After all, it was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who had made the decision to give one quota to the Human Clan. As a result, the young Demon Beasts were left to compete for the remaining nine quotas, an unprecedented situation.

“If I ever meet that member of the Human Clan, I’ll make sure to beat him senseless, let him know his place, and make him withdraw willingly,” said Xiong Li with a gloomy tone.

…

Deep within Ancient Demon Ridge, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, growing impatient with the words of several Ancient Demons, finally said, “Enough talk, I, Sun, have already made my decision, there’s no need for further discussion.”

Seeing this, the Ancient Demons all wore expressions of helplessness. The Lord Demon Saint had vanished for five hundred years, and upon his return, he made such a radical decision without heed to advice–what were they to do?

“Lord Demon Saint, if we proceed like this, I fear the younger ones will harbor great resentment,” an Ancient Demon implored earnestly.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven curled his lip: “Let there be resentment. If anyone has a grievance, come to Sun and say it.”

The Ancient Demons were left speechless. Come and say it to you? Aren’t they likely to get a severe beating instead?

Realizing their persuasion was futile, the Ancient Demons ceased their attempt.

“Also, tell those restless tribes to behave themselves. If there’s any more trouble, Sun will not be polite,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven spoke casually.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Demons shuddered. It seemed the Lord Demon Saint, despite his long absence, was still as shrewd as ever, having a clear grasp on the movements of all the Demon Beast tribes.

Inside the cave, Fang Lin’s figure was enveloped in a sphere of black light, from within which one could faintly hear the low roars of a Kylin.

The jade bottle before him was now empty, all of the Kylin blood having been absorbed by the Kylin Demon Bone.
