"Hong! Come out!" Following the instructions, Yu Tian quickly found the palace concealed by several large stone towers. Standing before the magnificent magic palace, he shouted loudly in a magical language infused with energy. At the same time, he summoned Little Ru, which had merged with him, to exchange energy.
Soon, many Beast Horde members gathered around, but they kept their distance from Yu Tian. This area was not one they could approach casually, and many demon soldiers were hidden among the stone towers. Yu Tian could still hear some of their louder voices.
"What kind of guy is that? So bold, not afraid of being shot down by arrows?" one voice boomed, seemingly trying to provoke.
"Brother, what do you know? Can't you see his attire? Only those from the divine race can wear something so clean. Look at you; you haven't bathed in years," another voice replied gravely. Yu Tian couldn't help but glance back. It was a Minotaur wielding a large metal sword. He quickly turned away, unnoticed by them. However, from its clothing, it was clear that this Minotaur was not ordinary; Yu Tian felt an urge to get acquainted and sensed that the Minotaur did not harbor any animosity towards him.
"Divine race? Aren't those guys all dead?" Suddenly, the Minotaur stopped speaking as a pair of sharp eyes fixed on it. It soon seemed to sense the energy fluctuations—an innate power they possessed. Uncomfortable under Yu Tian's gaze or perhaps for some other reason, it retreated and vanished into the crowd of Orcs.
Yu Tian tilted his head to look at the Minotaur again, returning to normalcy and smiling. The Minotaur was initially startled but quickly understood what was happening; it grinned widely, revealing its unique smile. One could imagine its grin; aside from the protagonist, perhaps no one could withstand it.
Yu Tian returned to normal and faced the grand entrance again, still feeling some apprehension. After all, the energy fluctuations emanating from those stone towers had been strong for quite some time; with his still unfamiliar energy, he couldn't be sure he could win. At the same time, he noticed many tall and strong guards patrolling inside.
After waiting for a long while, many of the onlooking beasts dispersed. Finally, a Half-Orc appeared, with a golden tail behind him that resembled either a dragon or a snake. Yu Tian had no chance to probe his true form due to his overwhelming energy. The Half-Orc stared at Yu Tian for a long time before finally revealing an ugly smile.
"You must be my son's captain! Sorry about earlier; I was just resting," his voice was deep but carried significant energy fluctuations that spread with each breath.
Many magical beasts looked upon their king with admiration as the crowd quickly dispersed.
"Hmm!" Yu Tian felt quite complicated inside; he knew S. Rikkichi was looking for an excuse. However, given the situation, defeating him seemed impossible. "I can only adapt," he thought for a moment before raising his head again.
"I am S. Rikkichi; please don't take offense at my son's behavior!" He smiled as he looked at Yu Tian.
Yu Tian saw the smile on his face but also felt the hatred simmering within him.
"Oh!" Yu Tian's heart inexplicably calmed down a bit.
"My son Hong Likqi has some matters to attend to, so why don't you stay here for the night?" S. Rikkichi's voice had softened considerably, devoid of any energy mixed within the sound waves.
"Alright!" Yu Tian didn't know why he agreed so readily. But given the situation, he couldn't refuse; once he entered the tiger's den, it wouldn't be easy to get out.
In truth, all of this was fate's arrangement. This so-called God of Black Holes was merely a pawn.
S. Rikkichi revealed a false smile once again.
From his gaze, Yu Tian vaguely sensed a killing intent, causing his nerves to tense involuntarily. However, that killing intent quickly vanished, and his heart soon calmed down as well.
Yu Tian began to drift off into thought again when S. Rikkichi silently walked away without saying anything.
"Sodo, come with me!" A stranger, an orc, ruthlessly interrupted Yu Tian's contemplation and pulled his thoughts back to reality.
"Oh!" Yu Tian responded and followed the orc without hesitation.
They ascended six steps and arrived at the plaza in front of the demon palace. The orc did not stop and continued toward the palace, with Yu Tian trailing behind. As they passed by the statue of the demon god, Yu Tian felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. He thought it might be due to the statue's lifelike quality or perhaps something was attached to it!
Not wanting to dwell on it further—after all, it was not an object of his admiration—he simply followed the Half-Orc ahead.
Upon reaching the front of the demon palace, Yu Tian saw that it was grand, constructed entirely of water crystals and a type of unnamed purple stone. In the center of the palace stood a large stone chair behind which lay a miniature statue made of Amethyst. Despite having endured thousands of years of history, it still emanated a regal aura.
This statue was none other than the legendary demon king—Lichki. Perhaps due to the materials used, it was much smaller than expected. Yet Yu Tian could feel the chilling presence radiating from it.
His gaze lingered on this statue for quite some time due to its distance. When Yu Tian looked around again, he noticed that the orc had turned a corner and did not enter the main hall but instead headed toward a side door and walked away.
Yu Tian hurriedly followed. They turned several corners and entered a cave, where just a few steps in, they encountered a fork in the path. Without someone to guide them, it would have been nearly impossible for anyone to find their way out without force—of course, excluding those lucky enough to stumble upon the exit.
As they emerged from the other side of the cave, Yu Tian felt a sudden sense of openness. Before him stood many magnificent structures, hard to believe they were created by humans. Yet there they were, standing tall right in front of him. What he didn’t realize was that everything he saw was merely vast and imposing; however, upon closer inspection, it would leave one utterly astonished.
Yu Tian followed the beastman into a straight and simple corridor. At the end of the corridor was a wall.
The beastman approached and pressed against the wall. A flash of purple light appeared, and the beastman was absorbed into it. Yu Tian followed suit; having experienced something similar in the temple before, he didn’t find it strange. He reached out and touched the wall, only to be pulled inside.
Inside was a fairly tidy cave with a large stone slab in the center. Next to the slab was a small vent for airflow. In the middle of the cave wall stood a stone table with an object resembling a porcelain bottle on it. It was quite simple but gave off a pleasant feeling.
Seeing that Yu Tian had taken in his surroundings, the beastman said, “Sodo! I’ll see you tomorrow!”
Yu Tian softly replied, “Cardozina…” The beastman smiled slightly, and Yu Tian’s heart stirred as he noticed his forked tongue—he was indeed a Serpent.
The Serpent beastman turned and walked back through the wall. As the energy settled, the surroundings fell silent.
With nothing else to do, Yu Tian lay down on the stone slab and prepared to enter meditation.
Little Ru was also utterly exhausted, recovering well within Yu Tian's body.
The elemental energy around them was highly active, allowing him to quickly enter a meditative state.
