[Main Quest: Demon Emperor’s Bloodline]

[A fierce war took place ten thousand years ago, where a formidable Demon Emperor was killed and buried in the gorge. Due to a series of coincidences, even after ten thousand years, the corpse of the Demon Emperor is still not entirely decomposed.]

[Several decades ago, the Skywolf Clan discovered the Demon Emperor’s tomb and inferred the potential presence of essence blood within his remains, which excited them immensely, and they intend to extract the essence blood from the corpse.]

[The potent demon’s essence has the power to strengthen another demon’s bloodline. If the Skywolf Clan succeeds in acquiring the essence blood of the Demon Emperor, it could potentially lead to the emergence of several powerful demons, which would be a disaster for the human race.]

[Fortunately, the Demon Emperor’s coffin is protected by the force left by an ancient powerhouse, which makes it extremely difficult to force open, even by the likes of a Demon Emperor. But after decades of research, the demons of the Skywolf Clan have discovered a way to resolve this problem.]

[The demons carve a certain array on the coffin to keep whittling down the force protecting the coffin. If this continues, the force shielding the coffin will be completely depleted within 15 days.]

[First phase of the task: Destroy the Array]

[Task Difficulty: Four stars]

[Task Reward: Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, Mortal-Level Bloodline, 30 Demon Points, One Drop of Essence Blood]

[Countdown Timer: 15 days]

“Demon Emperor? What level of existence is that?”

Up to now, the players in the game only comprehend the four realms: Mortal, Spirit, Mysterious, and King, but they have no clue about the realms above these.

The task he triggered now involves a Demon Emperor, obviously indicating a realm above the King level.

“The first phase of the task is of four stars, how hard would the final task be?” Su Nan was astonished.

This task is obviously several times more difficult than the “Monster Crisis” task. It’s basically impossible to complete it in a short period.

Unless he could find a way to draw away the old man within the tomb.

However, high difficulty also means high rewards.

Apart from the usual Demon Sutra bloodline, there are also 30 demon power points and a drop of essence blood as rewards!

“The essence blood for a four-star task can’t be ordinary. This could very well be the essence blood of an ancient demon beast!” The thought of this possibility made Su Nan’s eyes shine brightly.

The rewards for a four-star task are extremely generous. The novice task last time gifted him the Technique Seeds that have now become one of his most important methods.

This time, a four-star task rewards essence blood again, and naturally, it can’t be the essence blood of a normal demon beast.

Concurrently, he thought of another problem: “I only triggered the task by using foresight to enter the Great Tomb. Zhou Cheng actually entered the Great Tomb. He must have also triggered the task.”

He didn’t know if there were tasks in this game that multiple people could complete simultaneously. But for sure, his task wasn’t of that nature.

That meant there could only be one person able to complete this task in the end!

Remembering this, Su Nan felt a tightening in his chest.

If his opponent was someone else, he had nothing to worry about. With his ability to foresee the future and the Boneshifting Technique, he had the absolute upper hand.

But if the opponent is Zhou Cheng, his advantage will be greatly reduced.

“This task can’t be completed in a short time, so don’t worry about it for now.”

Su Nan shook his head and turned to look at his Personal Information Panel: “I still have one opportunity for foresight, where should I use it?”

There is a powerful demon beast in the tomb, so continuing to foresee is not very beneficial.

After giving it some thought, he plans to predict once again whether he can leave the Skywolf Valley.

Previously, when he turned into the Mountain Demon, his disguise was seen through. This time, he plans to use the transformation of the Great Princess!

[You transform into the Skywolf Clan Princess in hopes of leaving the Skywolf Valley.]

[You are moving through the mountain forest; because of your transformation, you don’t attract the attention of the forest beasts. On the contrary, many beasts are avoiding you.]

[Two minutes later, you are not far from the exit, but as expected, a Mountain Demon appears before you.]

[The Mountain Demon doesn’t see through your disguise, but he is curious about why you are leaving this way.]

[You ignore the Mountain Demon and press forward towards the exit of the Skywolf Valley; it doesn’t try to stop you.]

[A few breaths later, you have successfully left the Skywolf Valley.]

“I can’t believe it actually worked this time!”

With the end of the foresight, a smile of joy surfaced in Su Nan’s eyes.

While the Mountain Demon was strong, it was clearly inferior to the old man guarding at the end of the exit path. He couldn’t discern any flaws in its Transformation Art.

Activating the Life Wheel Scripture, he switched his role to Wang Nan and then hastily moved directly through the mountain forest outside the gorge.

Two or three minutes later, he found himself standing on a huge rock outside the gorge.

Unlike the gorge, there weren’t many ancient trees outside. He immediately spotted a majestic palace in the distance!

He had finally escaped from this place that had entrapped him for over ten days!

Almost simultaneously, the task completion prompt appeared.

[Congratulations on completing the second phase of the Main Quest: Monster Crisis. Would you like to claim your rewards immediately?]

“Claim!”

[Congratulations on acquiring a Mortal-Level Bloodline]

[Congratulations on acquiring a Mortal-Level Demon Sutra]

[Congratulations on acquiring 15 Demon Power Points]

[The third phase of the Main Quest has been unlocked. Please check the Task List for more information.]

Having obtained the rewards, Su Nan felt relaxed.

He now had a total of 22 usable Demon Power Points!

That was enough to elevate his Thunder Light Worm Bloodline to Perfection.

He decided not to upgrade immediately, instead planning to do so in one go after the tasks are refreshed the next day.

Taking out the awarded bloodline and Demon Sutra, unsurprisingly, it was another Physique Bloodline.

“Too bad, I can’t merge any more Physique Bloodlines.”

After a glance, he again stowed away both the Bloodline and the Demon Sutra.

A martial artist at each realm could only merge four types of bloodlines, and he had already merged three Physique Bloodlines.

If he didn’t know that Zhou Lingyin had a Physique Bloodline from an ancient monster, he might have gone on to merge this ordinary bloodline, but now he had decided not to.

Putting away the bloodline, Su Nan opened the task panel.

The third phase of the Main Quest had already appeared.

[Main Quest: Monster Crisis]

[Third Phase, Optional Task One: Escape more than a hundred miles away]

[Task Difficulty: Four-star]

[Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 30 Demon Power Points, one Treasure Map]

[Optional Task Two: Slay the demon beast]

[Task Difficulty: Five-star]

[Task Reward: Spirit Grade Bloodline, Spirit Grade Demon Technique, 4.5 Demon Power Points, one Spirit Item, and a Divine Ability Seed]

[Countdown to the end of Task: 9 Days]

“Optional tasks?”

“A five-star task!”

Su Nan was surprised. He didn’t expect that he could choose to complete the third phase of his Main Quest.

It was obviously the final phase of this Main Quest.

The first task was a four-star.

This task might be difficult for others. In a world full of monsters, it’s not easy to traverse a hundred miles. You might encounter many strong monsters along the way.

But this was not difficult for him.

He had managed to escape from the Advanced Map of Sky Wolf Valley, so running another hundred miles should be easy.

It was the second task that surprised him..
