Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Return to Demon Fort_1

Sword Devil Ye Gushan’s inheritance was undoubtedly that of the sword path, which was extremely beneficial for the development of Ling Xiao’s sword path.

The will of the Ancient Destruction God completely coincided with that of the Ancient Hell Dragon, so Ling Xiao merged it into the will of the Ancient Hell Dragon. This had a crucial impact on the destructive power of his martial skills.

About half a shichen later, Ling Xiao felt he had reaped a rich harvest.

Although it would be impossible for him to fully assimilate both inheritances so quickly, they still offered a tremendous boost to the overall enhancement of his martial arts.

By that time, the fossils of the Ancient Destruction God and the Ancient Sword Demon had already collapsed.

As much as Ling Xiao wished to take all the remaining fossils into the Mountain and River World, it was clear that this was not possible.

The human heart is never satisfied, like a snake that swallows an elephant—greed only leads to tragedy.

Ling Xiao shook his head lightly and decisively turned to leave.

When he emerged from the giant sphere, Ling Xiao found that the Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General were still there, healing their wounds. However, they now had some herbs in their hands, which appeared rather rare.

They probably found them while idling around nearby.

Ling Xiao had no intention of snatching these herbs. Having obtained the Martial Soul Fruit and discovered the Human King’s Cave Mansion and the inheritances of the Ancient Destruction God and the Ancient Sword Demon Ye Gushan, he was already quite content.

"Brother Ling, what’s the situation inside?"

Seeing Ling Xiao come out, the Thousand-Handed Demon General eagerly asked.

Ling Xiao felt there was no need to hide anything and informed them of the situation inside.

After all, such a place belonged to those capable of claiming it, and he had no desire to keep secrets.

Unfortunately for them, upon hearing his tale, both the Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General went mad with frustration.

They envied Ling Xiao, yet they couldn’t enter themselves because their soul power was insufficient, depriving them even of the chance to approach the giant sphere.

"Are you sure you don’t want to give it a try? I can help you enter the sphere," Ling Xiao offered with a smile.

The Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General exchanged glances and then gratefully responded, "No, thank you for your kind offer, Brother Ling, but we know our limits, and we’re clearheaded about them. Even if we really went inside, we’d probably die just from touching those fossils. We don’t have great ambitions; reaching the Heavenly Man Realm in our lives is already enough for us."

"Yes, we can’t even withstand the soul pressure from the giant sphere. Judging by what you said, the soul pressure emitted by those fossils inside is dozens of times stronger. If we went in, we would just end up dead," the Fire Wolf Demon General said, despite feeling somewhat reluctant. However, he still suppressed the urge and made the most rational choice.

Ling Xiao inwardly admired them. Sometimes, people need to be aware of their limits, and these two had made the right choice.

What’s not yours should not be forcefully pursued; otherwise, it is akin to courting death.

"I respect your decision," Ling Xiao nodded and said.

"May I ask rashly, Brother Ling, did you succeed in contacting the fossils?"

As soon as he asked the question, the Fire Wolf Demon General suddenly felt stupid. If Ling Xiao had not succeeded, he would have died inside. Now that Ling Xiao had come out, it was obvious he had succeeded.

"I did succeed. It was quite difficult; my soul felt as though it was being torn apart. One slight mistake and I might have died inside there," Ling Xiao said with some emotion. "However, after the first fossil’s inheritance was successfully acquired, the second one became relatively easier."

"Oh...what? You said what? You actually inherited two traits?" The Thousand-Handed Demon General looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, feeling like he was looking at a monster.

"I suppose so," Ling Xiao replied. "If it weren’t for the King of People’s predecessor leaving behind a sliver of his will to help me through the difficulty, I really would have died in there."

Ling Xiao deliberately mentioned these events to test the Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General.

In reality, even if outsiders knew about these things it wouldn’t matter, but if these two reported the matter to the Sea Race, then he would be deeply disappointed.

He wanted to bring these two out as Divine Sword Sect’s two Protectors, holding the same status as Joshua Long and Lin Bei, so he had to confirm that these two were sufficiently trustworthy.

"Enough about that, I found a way to leave this huge monster’s body inside. You two get ready, we’re leaving."

Now that Ling Xiao had absorbed the King of People’s remaining will, he knew how the King of People had entered this place from the outside and he later learned how he had left.

It turned out that there was a Teleportation Array inside the giant beast’s body that could lead directly to the vicinity of Demon Castle City.

In fact, Demon Castle City had existed a hundred thousand years ago; it had only recently been refurbished and put back into use.

"Brother Ling, this is wonderful," the Thousand-Handed Demon General said. "I can’t thank you enough. Without you, we might have had to spend our entire lives inside this accursed beast’s belly."

The Thousand-Handed Demon General was truly grateful, for she had noticed that her skin had begun to corrode. Although it wasn’t serious yet, who knew if it would continue to corrode and rot completely?

Ling Xiao smiled, led the two to the Teleportation Array, carried out some minor repairs, and then the three of them injected their True Essence to activate the Array, leaving the giant beast’s body simultaneously.

When they reappeared, they were already about ten miles from the sea surrounding Demon Castle City, an area where sea creatures posed little threat to their safety.

"Hahaha, it’s so exhilarating," exclaimed the Fire Wolf Demon General. "The exit of this Teleportation Array is so close to Demon Castle City; it seems others must have used it in the past. Brother Ling, you really are our lucky star!"

After observing their surroundings, the Fire Wolf Demon General was overjoyed.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Let’s go, back to Demon Castle City!"

He now felt an urge to try his hand at something new.

Previously, because he hadn’t found the Martial Soul Fruit or the Human King’s Cave Mansion, he didn’t want to cause too much destruction in Demon Castle City.

But now it was different.

Not only had he obtained the Martial Soul Fruit, but he had also planted the Martial Spirit Fruit Tree in the Mountain and River World, and more importantly, he had discovered the Human King’s Cave Mansion and gained a powerful legacy.

He was now completely satisfied; what came next was to thoroughly destroy Demon Castle City in the depths of the sea and rescue those humans.

He wasn’t some great hero, but he had always dreamed of being one since he was young.

He didn’t care whether others saw him as a hero or not; he just thought being a hero was fun, something he wanted to be of his own accord, without needing anyone else’s acknowledgement.

He didn’t want to live for others.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The three sped above the sea surface, heading towards Demon Castle City.

It was only a ten-mile journey, which for three Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, wouldn’t take too much time.

Meanwhile, within the palace of Demon Castle City.

"Oh? The three of them managed to come back alive? It’s a miracle!"

The Demon Castle Great Castle Master, who had come out of seclusion, looked on with surprise in his piercing gaze.

He had thought that if Ling Xiao died outside, that would be the end of it. Unexpectedly, this young man managed to return alive.

From his past experience, those who could return alive from outside often had great gains, and he believed these three would be no exception.

They must have gained an immense advantage, an advantage that he was determined to possess.
