Upon hearing this, Wei Chen thought of two words: cruel!
Those people must be the high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan, right? Within the Black Magic Clan, and even in the entire Demon Realm, who among them isn't powerful and influential?
However, what the Dark Mage said sent a chill through Wei Chen's heart.
If one couldn't endure, they would die?
Was it really that cruel?
"Grandpa, if one can't hold on, can't they just step out? Let someone else take over!" Wei Chen expressed his concern.
The Dark Mage sneered, "Child, such words are acceptable this time, but don't let it happen again."
Wei Chen fell silent.
The Dark Mage continued, "Think about it. If everyone thought like you, where would perseverance and endurance come from? The path of cultivation is inherently a path of defiance. Without unwavering courage and determination, one cannot achieve ultimate victory. Before the Sun Extinguishing Formation, everyone knows what they will face. As high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan, they have no choice but to bear this responsibility!"
"And such opportunities do not come every year. For them, this kind of experience is better than battling with the strong from the Nine Immortal Realm! In the Demon Realm, new suns appear roughly every ten years. Although there will be casualties during the Sun Extinguishing Formation, it is precisely because of this that the strength of the Demon Realm continues to grow. Child, the road of cultivation is fraught with difficulties; no matter what we face, we cannot retreat but must forge ahead. You must remember this; otherwise, it will be hard for you to become a true powerhouse."
"Perhaps a few opportunistic tricks might lead to temporary victories, but in the end, it all comes down to strength!"
Relying on strength!
Only relying on strength!
From the moment he arrived in the Demon Realm, the Dark Mage had given Wei Chen a vivid lesson.
Wei Chen nodded in a somewhat confused manner; in reality, he didn't pay much attention to what the Dark Mage said.
"Relying on strength isn't wrong, but using one's brain is also a form of strength, right? The formation itself is a novel method of cultivation that doesn't rely solely on brute force. If everything depended on strength alone, one could just fly up and shatter the sun with a punch—that would be true power!"
"Many times, thinking critically is more important than sheer strength."
Wei Chen silently contemplated, not refuting the words of the Dark Mage.
He was slowly beginning to understand the temperament of the Dark Mage; the seemingly gentle old man actually harbored a fierce heart!
"Child, did you hear that? In the Demon Realm, we do not like deceit; we only value strength. If you want to establish yourself here, improving your own strength must come first."
"Demon Lotus Emperor, why are you so stubborn? Let me ask you this: if one defeats an enemy using formations, what does that count as? Strength or deceit? Formations themselves are a form of deception; do you think my words hold any truth?"
Hearing Wei Chen's transmission, the Demon Lotus Emperor smiled wryly and replied, "That is both right and wrong. Formations are indeed a special method, but they can also be considered a form of strength; they cannot be dismissed as mere deceit."
Wei Chen pouted slightly, not taking the words of the Dark Mage and Demon Lotus Emperor to heart.
At that moment, the second wave of the Five-Star Light Array converged into the Seven Star Array. The Seven Star Array generated seven beams of light, and at the command of the Dark Mage, the beams shot forth, destroying the second sun.
The strong members of the Black Magic Clan were sweating profusely, yet each one persisted; soon, the third wave of beams would arrive.
Seizing the opportunity, the Dark Mage turned to Wei Chen and said, "Child, do you see? They are all exhausted; their internal organs are under immense pressure. But have they ever thought about giving up? No, never! The people of the Demon Realm are inherently relentless; we members of the Black Magic Clan are even more so! When faced with cultivation obstacles, just grit your teeth and push through—it will pass."
Wei Chen nodded in agreement, but only he knew what he truly thought deep down.
Finally, after an hour of effort, all nine suns brought from the Magic Stone Space by Wei Chen were eradicated.
The light in the Demon Realm dimmed further. It was already shrouded in darkness; after the nine red suns were destroyed, it felt almost like nightfall in the Soul World.
The strong members of the Black Magic Clan collapsed onto the ground; even Muen, who was quite powerful, was no exception.
Nine rounds had truly been exhausting.
Fortunately, none of the nine suns were particularly strong. Otherwise, if they had to rely on someone else to eliminate them, all those strong members of the Black Magic Clan would have suffered greatly.
The Black Demon Clan remarked: "They have all completed their tasks and will experience a period of weakness. After this period passes, their cultivation will enter a phase of explosive growth. Each time there is a Solar Crisis, members of the Black Magic Clan can sign up freely; ordinary strong individuals aren't even qualified."
Wei Chen sighed lightly. If it were him in their position, he would likely strive for such an opportunity as well. However, due to the presence of the Demon Lotus Emperor as his support, Wei Chen would avoid taking overly risky actions.
The difficulties of the Dark Mage were evident; after all, who among those daring enough to sign up lacked confidence?
Whether one could endure was already clear in their hearts.
The strong members of the Black Magic Clan took a moment to recover before bowing respectfully to the Dark Mage and leaving one after another.
This highlighted the differences among them. Those who left first were stronger, while most of those who departed later were severely exhausted, limping as they walked. Yet, without exception, every face wore a smile.
"Child, let's go. I'll take you to our Black Magic Clan's treasury to see if there's anything suitable for you."
"Girl, you should come along too. Our treasury may not hold much value for your Golden Dragon King, but we can prepare some healing elixirs; it won't hurt."
The Dark Mage addressed Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi.
Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi nodded, and with a gentle wave of the Dark Mage's hand, the three vanished from their spot.
Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi felt a flash of darkness, and they found themselves in an underground chamber.
"Grandfather, was that a spatial transfer?" Wei Chen asked the Dark Mage.
The Dark Mage chuckled, "Just a few tricks, nothing impressive."
Wei Chen thought about it; the Dark Mage's strength was among the top in the Spatial Plane, so spatial transfers were indeed not difficult for him.
"Demon Lotus Emperor, how does my grandfather's strength compare to those old fellows in the Nine Immortal Realm?" Wei Chen quietly inquired through sound transmission.
The Demon Lotus Emperor replied, "Not good. He should be on par with several Great Emperors, but I feel his strength is not as great as that of the Western Buddha."
"The Western Buddha is quite special. I've been by his side for hundreds of thousands of years, witnessing many things—the respect shown to him by several Great Emperors and his ability to eradicate rebels effortlessly is astonishing. He has never fought against an Immortal Emperor; the Great Emperors have always treated him with great respect. His strength must be significantly higher than that of several Great Emperors. Your grandfather is on the same level as those Great Emperors but may fall slightly short compared to the Western Buddha."
Upon hearing the Demon Lotus Emperor's explanation, Wei Chen thought to himself: "Being on par with several Great Emperors is already impressive. When the Demon Lotus Emperor was in Huaxia, he dominated without rivals... Can he help me deal with the threat from Donghua?"
Under the shade of a large tree, Wei Chen began to formulate his plans regarding the Dark Mage.
It was just a pity that the Donghua was not present.
"Feel free to choose whatever you like. Everything here is a treasure. If used well, even an ordinary Tenth Level Warrior won't be able to harm you," the Dark Mage said with a smile.
Wei Chen exclaimed, "Grandpa, doesn't that mean it will be easy to deal with Ginger Guest?"
"Ginger Guest is not an ordinary person. Our Black Magic Clan's treasury, to be honest, is not as good as that of the Dragon Clan. The weapons and armor of Ginger Guest are unlikely to be inferior to those of our Black Magic Clan, so don't get your hopes up," the Dark Mage replied with a bitter smile.
If it were an ordinary Thirteenth Level Warrior, the armor and weapons he provided would be enough to ensure victory.
But facing Ginger Guest, the Young Master of the Dragon Clan, the situation was entirely different. The armor and weapons could only offset Ginger Guest's equipment; they wouldn't provide much help to Wei Chen.
In fact, since the Black Magic Clan's treasury was not as good as that of the Dragon Clan, what the Dark Mage could offer Wei Chen would not compare to what the Dragon Clan provided for Ginger Guest.
Thinking of this, Black Demon Mianlu showed a helpless expression and said, "Child, I have prepared armor and weapons for you. Go take a look."
With a wave of his hand, the Dark Mage shifted them into a secret chamber.
Inside the chamber were two sets of armor and weapons displayed on wooden racks, looking imposing and exquisite.
One set was entirely black, resembling the armor worn by generals in battle, gleaming coldly. A long sword hung at the waist, somewhat intimidating.
The other set was entirely red; each piece of scale armor seemed to shimmer with flames, and the long sword at the waist was also red, radiating an astonishing heat.
Wei Chen immediately took a liking to the red set.
The two sets of armor looked similar, but the black armor was forged from some kind of meteorite, while the red armor was made from beast skin and scales.
The aura emanating from it felt like that of dragons.
"Child, I have prepared this black set for you. In the Demon Realm, this armor is renowned and is called Black Gold Armor. It is forged from black gold and enhanced with powerful defensive formations. Wearing this armor will make it impossible for ordinary people to harm you. This set is also the best in our Black Magic Clan, ranking among the Thirty-Three Levels," the Dark Mage introduced.
“Thirty-Three Levels? The best Armor is only Thirty-Three Levels?”
“Armor is different from weapons. That sword is the highest at Thirty-Six Levels. It is impossible for Armor to reach Thirty-Six Levels, whether in the Demon Realm or the Nine Immortal Realm; Armor of Thirty-Six Levels simply does not exist.”
At that moment, a disdainful voice echoed in Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness: “Child, let me tell you, Thirty-Sixth Level Armor does exist. Your grandfather, being from the Demon Realm, does not understand the splendor of the Nine Immortal Realm. When it comes to Armor and weapons, what the Nine Immortal Realm produces is far superior to that of the Demon Realm.”
“Why?” Wei Chen silently asked.
“Magic power is not conducive to forging top-tier weapons and Armor; spiritual energy is better. This is a clear distinction that both the Demon Realm and the Nine Immortal Realm understand. The people of the Nine Immortal Realm have weaker bodies, so in order to combat the Demon Realm, they can only strive to enhance their Armor. This has become a long-standing choice.”
After finishing, the Demon Lotus Emperor chuckled strangely: “Child, both sets of Armor are exquisite. Which one do you prefer?”
“Of course, I want the red one. Is there any need to ask?”
“Hehe, your taste is quite good. First, get your hands on the red set. Find a secluded place, and I’ll give you a surprise.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen from the Black Demon Clan said, “Grandfather, I use a sword. This Black Armor isn’t suitable for me, right?”
Wei Chen walked over to the red Armor and reached out to touch it. He continued, “Grandfather, I want this set of Armor.”
What he thought would be a simple matter caused the Dark Mage’s expression to change slightly as he firmly refused: “No!”
