Chapter 481 - Second Layer of the Demon World

Chapter 481 - Second Layer of the Demon World

Fifteen minutes later, Long Chen arrived at the peak of Demon World Mountain.

There was a large, secure perimeter around the mountain, so no cultivator would be able to sneak in unless they were at the three Martial Realms. Long Chen had a feeling that the true core of the Ancient Demon Domain was inside the Seven Layered Demon World’s last three layers.

The guards of Demon World Mountain were only average cultivators. That was because no one could sneak into the Ancient Demon Domain.

Long Chen had the right to enter, so there was no risk. He stood at the peak of Demon World Mountain and looked down at the bottomless abyss. It was pitch-black inside, and if they did not know about the Seven Layered Demon World within, no one would dare enter.

“Hey, kid, you haven’t been to the Seven Layered Demon World, have you? Do you know what is the most interesting thing about the entrance?” one of the guards asked dramatically when he saw that Long Chen was still standing on the edge.

“I don’t,” answered Long Chen, shaking his head.

“Hehe. Many Ninth Passage Stage masters have flown into the hole in the past. Deeper and deeper they went, only to realize that it was bottomless. I heard that the record depth was five hundred kilometers, and still, he did not see the bottom! However, if we jump inside without using Qi, we enter the first layer of the Seven Layered Demon World after falling about five hundred meters! Don’t you think that’s amazing?”

Long Chen was stunned. What kind of rule was that? A person who flew inside would not reach the Seven Layered Demon World even after five hundred kilometers, but if they jumped inside, they would reach it after falling just five hundred meters?

The Dragon Continent was vast and unfathomable. The Divine Martial Empire was just a small corner of it, but even this tiny corner had such a miraculous thing. This meant that other places were even stranger.

After the guard spoke, Long Chen spread his arms and jump into the gigantic hole. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

He fell quickly.

The wind roared in his ears. It was an exciting feeling, and Long Chen had once fallen like this at the Star Devil Prison too. It was a similar feeling. He believed that if the ground appeared now, he would turn into a meat patty even though he had supernatural powers.

However, after falling for about five hundred meters, he slammed into an invisible membrane. He instantly knew that he had arrived in another world. There was no pain, and his momentum was gone, allowing him to fall gently.

Looking at the vast, black land, Long Chen knew that his strength would skyrocket from today onwards, just like when he first arrived at the Counter Essence Realm.

The wolf had entered the herd of sheep.

In Long Chen’s eyes, demonic beasts were all sheep. Of course, except Xiaolang ...

“Is this the first layer?” Long Chen studied the vast land. Although the soil was black, it was not the burnt color of the Burning Heaven Mountain Range. It was an extremely pure shade of black, and every single grain of sand was completely black.

Then he hurried off. Long Chen did not even know his name.

Since this was the entrance, more people would soon emerge. Long Chen did not want to meet anyone else, so he quickly left and started his hunt.

Only Category One, Two, and Three Heaven-tier beasts were in the first layer, and he could easily kill them without even using his Dragon Soul Transformation. Category One Heaven-tier beasts were the most common, so Long Chen found them everywhere.

They were useless to him, so he activated his Soul Swallowing Gaze to walk around them and even avoided many disciples. He headed straight to the depths of the first layer.

After walking for a while, he started seeing Category Two Heaven-tier beasts. They were also useless to him, so he carried on and quickly arrived in the area with Category Three beasts. Xiaolang had swallowed the demonic core of a Category Three beast to enter the Heaven-tier. Since he was only at Category One, a Category Three fire-type demonic core would still be effective for him.

Therefore, Long Chen did not avoid them but continued straight ahead. Whenever he came across a fire-type Category Three Heaven-tier beast, he killed it. Even though they were useless to him, they were useful to Xiaolang.

At this moment, Long Chen pulled the Demon Emperor Sword from the neck of a Blazing Lion. The beast rolled several times on the ground and soon stopped moving. Xiaolang pounced and tore at it with his jaws. Then he plucked a fire-red demonic core out of its body and swallowed it.

They had only received a Blazing Lion’s demonic core but had not witnessed the magnificence of one for themselves. Despite being only at Category Three Heaven-tier, it was an extraordinary beast with great mastery over fire. If Long Chen had not used the Dragon Soul Transformation, he would not have been a match for it.

In order to finish the kill efficiently, Long Chen had activated his Dragon Soul Transformation.

Very quickly, Xiaolang finished digesting its demonic core, though he was still at Category One Heaven-tier. He could feel that demonic cores were not very effective at making him stronger. He estimated that he would need at least ten Category Three Heaven-tier demonic cores in order to ascend to Category Two.

However, it was still very rare for a beast to be able to increase its tier by swallowing fire-type items!

As long as he could continue growing in this manner, then one day, he would become a beast that would shock the entire Dragon Continent!

Long Chen was looking forward to that day too. Of course, he hoped he would not be weaker than Xiaolang when that day arrived. How could he continue being Xiaolang’s big brother if he was weaker?

After Xiaolang finished absorbing the demonic core, Long Chen continued heading forward. There were many more Category Three beasts on the way, but Long Chen believed that Category Four beasts would suit both of them better, so he didn’t stop.

After about an hour, he spotted a deep canyon. It was a similar situation to the entrance of Demon World Mountain.

“Do I need to jump into this canyon to reach the second layer?” Long Chen sensed that the concept was similar to the entrance.

There was only black mist on the opposite side of the canyon, and there was no other way to go. It looked like this was the only path towards the second layer.

“Let’s jump, then.”
