Wei Chen looked at the Dark Mage with a hint of gratitude and said, "Grandpa, perhaps it won't take so much effort. I have a treasure that could come in handy."
"A treasure?"
"Yes, a very powerful one. Its rank is unclear, but it definitely won't be weak. With that treasure, I should be able to open the Spatial Tunnel without expending too much energy."
Upon hearing this, the Black Demon Clan asked, "What kind of treasure? Show it to me."
Wei Chen shook his head and replied, "Not yet. We'll wait until the time comes. After all, according to your timeline, we still need at least ten years, right?"
A proud expression appeared on Wei Chen's face. Did it really take that long?
He wasn't boasting; after reviewing that Cultivation Method, he realized it was just a process of absorbing magical energy and condensing it in the Dantian. The method taught Wei Chen how to absorb magical energy as quickly as possible for compression, but he had already tried the Soul Devouring Technique given to him by Red Boy, which could also absorb magical energy.
The rank of the Soul Devouring Technique was incredibly high; it could even devour the most subtle Mental Strength without issue. With this in mind, Wei Chen felt confident that one year would be sufficient.
Seeing the pride on Wei Chen's face, both the Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan inexplicably felt a sense of doubt in their hearts. Could this kid really cultivate to the twenty-second level in such a short time?
As they considered this possibility, both shook their heads immediately, dismissing their thoughts.
Having been through similar experiences themselves, how could that be possible?
At that moment, Yan Qiqi softly said, "Brother, I believe you can do it. You might even need less than a year."
Only Yan Qiqi unconditionally believed in whatever Wei Chen claimed. In reality, Wei Chen had never disappointed her. He had fulfilled every promise he made without fail. Even when faced with the Solar Crisis, when death was imminent, Yan Qiqi never lost hope.
This was because Wei Chen always found ways to keep Yan Qiqi safe.
Yan Qiqi's faith in Wei Chen came from her heart and soul; it was completely unconditional. Any man would cherish such a delicate and beautiful girl who held extreme admiration and trust in him.
Wei Chen's affection for Yan Qiqi was not without reason.
Seeing Yan Qiqi express her support, Ji Min pouted and fell silent. She did not believe that Wei Chen could reach the twenty-second level within a year; even advancing two or three Warrior Realms would be impressive—advancing twelve levels was simply impossible.
"Grandpa, you all wait here. I will continue to the Soul Beast Mountain and do my best to stop the Beast Tide. I believe a large-scale Beast Tide won't occur."
Wei Chen called out and flew back to join the Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy in the battle against the Soul Devouring Beast.
On the warship, Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan watched as Wei Chen flew away, disappearing into the Soul Beast Mountain, each lost in their thoughts. Ji Min and Yan Qiqi also had their own concerns, but all four shared a common goal: Wei Chen.
"Dark Mage, your Black Magic Clan really has successors! I'm in trouble; I have no children, and my younger brothers' kids aren't promising either," Ji Dingxuan sighed.
The Black Demon Clan member replied, "You're still so young; what are you worried about? I'm old and won't last much longer. I hope that by then, Wei Chen can truly grow up and stand on his own."
"You needn't worry about that. Wei Chen is talented in every way. If Min'er can marry him, as a father, I am satisfied," Ji Dingxuan said lightly.
Dark Mage chuckled, "Let's hope so. That kid is unpredictable; no one knows what the future holds."
Ji Dingxuan and Dark Mage flew down from the warship. Dark Mage led Ji Dingxuan to admire the defenses of the Black Magic Clan soldiers. Ji Dingxuan was astonished by the weapons developed by the Black Magic Clan to combat Soul Beasts. Truly, the Black Magic Clan's creativity surpassed even that of the combined Dragon Clan and Dark Demon Clan.
The neatly arranged soldiers made Ji Dingxuan's heart race. From their expressions, he saw no trace of fear; millions of soldiers stood with high spirits, vigilantly guarding the Soul Beast Mountain.
"Dark Mage, your Black Magic Clan's soldiers have always been the strongest. Now it seems that saying is true," Ji Dingxuan praised.
"Not bad, but it's still uncertain how many soldiers will survive this Beast Tide," Dark Mage expressed his concern.
"Now, I find myself believing Wei Chen's words a bit more. He has gone to Soul Beast Mountain again; he must have a way to ensure that the Beast Tide won't be too fierce," Ji Dingxuan said.
"I can't trust that kid too much; his words are often ambiguous. Let's hope he can create miracles again this time. These soldiers are our Black Magic Clan's elite, not comparable to those ragtag troops sent to the Nine Immortal Realm battlefield," Dark Mage remarked. He didn't want to see too many casualties, but sending untrained troops to such a defensive line would only waste opportunities and allow Soul Beasts to infiltrate the heart of the Black Magic Clan, causing immense disaster.
In the demon realm, among the Three Great Clans, there were two types of armies: one was regular troops stationed in various locations, and the other was ragtag troops specifically sent to fight in the Nine Immortal Realm battlefield. Only those who achieved great military exploits on that battlefield could return to their clans and become part of the regular army.
The selection for regular troops was not simple; it required certain abilities and Warrior Realm qualifications. Those without talent or strength became cannon fodder, continuously sent to the Nine Immortal Realm battlefield to die. Those who were fortunate enough to survive were those who gained so-called military merits and could return to the demon realm to join the regular army. Although their abilities might not be sufficient at first, as long as they developed courage and experience through training, they still had their uses.
As for ragtag troops, it was much simpler; they were selected en masse from young men who were lacking in various aspects and sent off to fight. The death toll was staggering—ninety-nine percent of them would never return alive.
Those people, to put it bluntly, are the Parasites of the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm cannot support so many Parasites, so they can only die openly and with a hint of glory.
It's a cruel reality, but this is the Demon Realm.
The Dark Mage had considered using the ragtag army to fend off the Beast Tide, but those fellows would probably be torn to shreds by the Soul Beasts before they even got close to them.
In that case, it would only be a delay, affecting the defensive line.
Ji Dingxuan could understand the Dark Mage's intentions. Sending the ragtag army to their deaths would disrupt the battle situation and wouldn't deplete many Soul Beasts; it would only have a negative effect. These elite troops might be able to withstand the Soul Beasts, suffering heavy losses, or they might not hold up at all and collapse. Who knows?
Even before the Beast Tide began, Ji Dingxuan felt the urgency of the situation.
"Dark Mage, since there are still a few left, let's head to Soul Beast Mountain and check on our Dark Demon Clan's defenses. Why don't you lend us your insights?" Ji Dingxuan invited the Black Demon Clan.
The Dark Mage thought for a moment and nodded. "Let's take a look. The pressure from your side's Beast Tide is quite significant; you won't need much defense."
The Dark Mage pulled the Dark Demon Clan into this matter. Since Ji Dingxuan had extended the invitation, it would be too disrespectful not to check it out.
The Warship headed toward the front lines of the Dark Demon Clan. Ji Min and Yan Qiqi wanted to find Wei Chen, but both the Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan firmly refused. What kind of joke was that? Were they going to Soul Beast Mountain to seek death? Not everyone is as abnormal as Wei Chen; could anyone just come and go freely at Soul Beast Mountain?
In the eyes of the Dark Mage and Ji Dingxuan, Wei Chen had unknowingly become synonymous with abnormality...
"Paralyze? Who's cursing me behind my back?" Wei Chen felt a slight itch in his ears and muttered under his breath.
At this moment, the three of them had surged up several hundred meters again, reaching about four-fifths of their ascent. Once they safely passed through the last fifth of the journey, they would reach the summit and witness the strongest Soul Beasts.
In the past, no one had ever reached the summit while exploring Soul Beast Mountain; strong individuals from the Demon Realm had been repelled by large numbers of Soul Beasts long before reaching that height, unable even to approach the peak.
Wei Chen, Demon Lotus Emperor, and Red Boy possessed an advantage that ordinary people could not match: their Mental Attack was endless. After consuming some energy, they gained even more strength, allowing them to kill more Soul Beasts.
This positive cycle was fundamental to their continuous ascent. If it were anyone else, even if their Mental Strength surpassed that of Wei Chen and his companions, without absorption alongside consumption, they would have no chance and would have been knocked down long ago.
At the four-fifths mark, around the thirtieth tier, Soul Beasts were everywhere. However, Wei Chen and his companions were pleasantly surprised to find that while the Soul Beasts in this area were quite powerful, their density was not high, allowing them to feel no fear and even gain some rare breathing space.
They needed to rest; they were in dire need of downtime.
Yet they all understood that opportunities like this were fleeting. It was crucial to seize every moment to strengthen their Mental Strength and refine their bodies. Moreover, preventing the Beast Tide from erupting was their shared goal.
The Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy did not wish to see the Beast Tide explode, not out of concern for Wei Chen's Black Magic Clan being impacted, but for their own considerations. Once the Beast Tide erupted and the Soul Beasts from Soul Beast Mountain scattered into the demon realm, how could they continue their training? Currently, the Soul Beasts were gathered at Soul Beast Mountain, which served as their sacred training ground. If the Beast Tide erupted and the Soul Beasts fled, the value of Soul Beast Mountain would significantly diminish in the eyes of the Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy.
Of course, they also worried about the safety of Wei Chen's Black Magic Clan, but that was the least important point. Everyone had their own selfish motives; it was impossible to be completely selfless. Furthermore, it was not Wei Chen himself who was threatened by the Beast Tide; they didn't care too much.
In a world where the weak are eliminated, isn't it normal for the weak to be weeded out?
"This place has few Soul Beasts, and Reprint's suppression ability is getting stronger. Killing them is not difficult at all. However, there will definitely be Soul Beasts above the thirty-fifth tier at the summit. If we rest here for a few hours and adjust ourselves properly, once we reach the top, it will be a bloody battle," Wei Chen said.
The Demon Lotus Emperor and Red Boy nodded in agreement. They were not reckless individuals. Since entering Soul Beast Mountain, all three had faced no real danger.
But as they approached the summit, they could increasingly feel a suffocating aura emanating from above that made their hearts race.
The king of Soul Beast Mountain had many first-tier thirty-fifth tier and fourteen-level overlord-class Soul Beasts gathered at that mountaintop location, causing slight distortions in that area’s space. A massive Mental Strength enveloped the summit, with an indistinct oppressive aura spreading downwards.
Some commands also traveled with that aura into the minds of nearby Soul Beasts within dozens of miles.
