2557 Who Are You?
Three years later.
The Seven Kill Army had disappeared for three years, and no one could find out any news about them. Some people even thought that Han Fei had secretly left the Infinite Mining Area.
Outside the Mine Demon Stream, there were about 20,000 battlefields.
In the Mine Demon Stream, there were nearly 200 battlefields for Sky Openers.
At this moment, in a certain battlefield that had calmed down, several peak-level Sea Establishers were sitting cross-legged on the ground, panting. They were not cultivating, but chatting.
This short rest was a rare break in their day, so they were especially enjoying it.
One of them said, “It’s been three years. How many times has Master Human Emperor explored the Mine Demon Stream? Even Master Human Emperor has to explore it so many times. How dangerous is it there?”
Someone sneered. “Yes! Those below the Sky Opening Realm aren’t even qualified to enter the Mine Demon Stream. I heard from the Sky Opening Realm powerhouses that most of them can only move about 200 kilometers deep into the Mine Demon Stream. It’s said that there are many Sky Opening Realm mine demons there. However, it seems that the Mine Demon Stream is more than 3,000 kilometers deep. That’s where the Human Emperor went.”
Someone sighed. “No matter what the secret is, since Master Human Emperor went down there frequently, that place can’t stop him. However, there are too many mine demons outside the Mine Demon Stream to be killed! Should we just directly transcend the tribulation?”
“Heh! Tribulation Transcendence! Do you forget what Master Human Emperor said? Those whose physique and soul are not strong enough are not allowed to transcend tribulation at will. I heard that Lord Hong Yue has set three standards for all those who are going to transcend tribulation. Firstly, those who haven’t stayed at the peak of the Sea Establishment Realm for five hundred years are not allowed to transcend tribulation. Secondly, those who haven’t mastered the Purity Mystic Body are not allowed to transcend tribulation. Thirdly, those whose bloodline hasn’t advanced to a Heavenly Bloodline are not allowed to transcend tribulation… Heh, so in the past three years,no more than 50 people have transcended tribulation in total.”
Everyone sighed. “This is too difficult. Even if we keep suppressing our breakthroughs, there are still more than 65,000 Sea Establishment Realm powerhouses. If we wait another eight or ten years, I really suspect that it won’t be a problem for all of us to advance to the Sea Establishment Realm.”
Someone replied with a smile, “Entering the Sea Establishment Realm isn’t the key. I heard that the first goal of Master Human Emperor is for all of us to advance to the peak of the Sea Establishment Realm. Even Master Human Emperor doesn’t expect all of us to transcend the tribulation now, so how can it be so simple? But we are already at the peak of the Sea Establishment Realm now. When we meet the conditions in the future, it is said that our success rate of transcending the tribulation can be as high as 70% or even 80%.”
Someone laughed. “Now that you mention it, I’m immediately motivated. Let’s go and fight the mine demons for another thirty thousand rounds.”
“Let’s go together!”
“Together.”
Inside and outside the Mine Demon Stream, the battles were in full swing.
At the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream, a black mist body was sneaking at the bottom of the water. The place he approached was a lone Bloody Hand Mine Devil.
Suddenly, a mirror appeared, and the Bloody Hand Mine Devil and the Flash Lizard disappeared at the same time.
In the Mirror of Infinity, Han Fei immediately used the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique. The divine brilliance was replicated and overlapped countless times through the mirror and fell on the Bloody Hand Mine Devil.
In an instant, the demonic might on the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was cleansed by the divine brilliance.
The Bloody Hand Mine Devil was about to show its might, but it was stunned when its demonic might was suddenly purified. The Flash Lizard tried to control the Bloody Hand Mine Devil, but in the next moment, it was chopped into pieces by countless saber beams, including the Bloody Hand Mine Devil.
At the moment when the Bloody Hand Mine Devil perished, a voice appeared in Han Fei’s mind. The Emperor Sparrow said, “It’s a pity to waste this ominous power and demonic energy.”
Han Fei said, “There are a lot of Bloody Hand Mine Devils here. We can’t just look at the surface. What’s a mere Bloody Hand Mine Devil worth? In the past three years of exploration, we’ve found no less than ten thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils. In addition to the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, there should also be the Demon Vanquishing Tree that the old turtle mentioned. It’s easy to hide from the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, but difficult to hide from the Demon Vanquishing Tree. This time, we’re the closest to our target. We can’t lose sight of the bigger picture because of the small gain.”
The Emperor Sparrow snorted and didn’t deny it.
Yes, in the past three years, Han Fei dove into the Mine Demon Stream no less than a hundred times. At first, he was really shocked by the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils. But later, Han Fei discovered that what was even more difficult to deal with than the Bloody Hand Mine Devils was a water-shaped vine. It could turn into a water vein and flow with the waves. If he wasn’t careful, even his black mist body would be discovered by this thing.
It was only because Han Fei had thoroughly explored the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream that he could dive down here. Otherwise, he would probably still be lingering near the entrance.
On this trip, Han Fei had been lurking here for seven days. After going millions of kilometers deep into the Mine Demon Stream, he finally felt some water currents flowing similar to breathing.
Why were there so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils at the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream, as well as the Demon Vanquishing Tree that was supposed to follow Great Monarch Mystic Martial? It was still unknown.
The old turtle once said that Han Fei must see the Demon Vanquishing Tree because he knew it. Then the Demon Vanquishing Tree would be on his side, which was why Han Fei dared to walk forward at the risk of being discovered by the roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree.
He had considered that something might have happened to the Demon Vanquishing Tree, but at least for now, the vines of the Demon Vanquishing Tree were the kind of scattered vines that were unconscious and only attacked outsiders instinctively.
Therefore, he had to see the Demon Vanquishing Tree first.
Another day passed.
After avoiding hundreds of Bloody Hand Mine Devils and Demon Vanquishing Tree vines, Han Fei finally came to the place with undulating water veins.
When Han Fei saw thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils surrounding a blood-colored spring, the spring was rising and falling as if it were breathing.
The Bloody Hand Mine Devils that surrounded the spring were scattered around the spring as if they were absorbing the power of the spring. Even Han Fei was tempted when he saw the spring.
Because the spring water seemed to be magical, he couldn’t help but want to approach it.
In the middle of the blood spring, there seemed to be a huge bloody hand. After seeing that thing, Han Fei suddenly sobered up.
“That’s not right!”
Han Fei was shocked. There must be something wrong with this blood spring. Remembering that the Great Monarch Bloody Hand was contaminated by the ominous, he immediately guessed something. If his guess was correct, this blood spring should be the essence blood of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, mixed with the ominous power, and sprinkled in the Mine Demon Stream for some reason, producing so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils.
At this moment, on the huge bloody hand in the middle of the spring, there was a Lizard Demon, not a Flash Lizard.
Han Fei was secretly surprised. Is a Great Monarch so f*cking awesome? Just a pool of his essence blood can create so many level-seven mine demons? And it can even modify Flash Lizards?
Han Fei had an urge to purify this blood spring, but this idea only appeared for a short while before it was dropped. Not to mention how much vitality was needed to purify the ominous power in this blood spring, with these thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils here, if he dared to attack, he might be chased by these Bloody Hand Mine Devils to death in the next moment.
Therefore, Han Fei thought about it again and again. Even if he wanted to take action, now wasn’t the time. He hadn’t seen Puppet City or the Demon Vanquishing Tree yet, so he couldn’t distinguish friend from foe.
His goal was not the blood pool, but Puppet City. It was one thing to help the old turtle find resources to rebuild his body, but he also wanted to see if there were any treasures left from the Age of the Gods.
After all, it was a city that no one had been to for millions of years. It would be weird if there was nothing there.
Without disturbing these Bloody Hand Mine Devils, Han Fei quietly circumvented them.
During this half day, he suddenly discovered that there were more invisible water veins, which meant that there were more roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree. With his previous experience, Han Fei himself was like flowing water, flowing with the waves, trying not to attract the attention of these roots.
God knew how careful Han Fei was. According to the old turtle, the strength of the Demon Vanquishing Tree was not low. It should be a Monarch.
Finally, after half a day, Han Fei felt some strong energy fluctuations.
“Huh? Why can’t I feel such strong energy waves when I’m outside?”
When Han Fei approached, he discovered that some Bloody Hand Mine Devils were attacking a light green barrier. There were at least eight hundred of them in total, and they occasionally attacked the barrier for unknown reasons.
However, this kind of attack was intermittent. Besides, Han Fei saw that when a Bloody Hand Mine Devil hit the barrier, only less than 30% of its power escaped, and the other 70% sank into the barrier and disappeared without a trace.
After the Bloody Hand Mine Devil bombarded it, a green branch visible to the naked eye extended out of the spiritual barrier and pierced through the Bloody Hand Mine Devil in an instant, stabbing it and the Flash Lizard that was attached to it to death.
Then, Han Fei saw a purifying power burst out of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s body. Different from the purifying divine brilliance of the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique, it was a special purifying power with vitality.
“Spiritual barrier, Demon Vanquishing Tree. Is this Puppet City?”
Han Fei was very sure that this was definitely the Demon Vanquishing Tree. Han Fei knew very well how strong the defense power of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils was. In terms of pure one-on-one combat, the Bloody Hand Mine Devil could probably fight him for three hundred rounds.
However, the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was easily penetrated and purified by the branch, which showed how strong the branch was.
At this moment, the barrier blocked Han Fei’s vision, so he couldn’t see what was inside. He only knew that this battle line was quite long, and the area blocked by the barrier spanned thousands of kilometers.
Just as Han Fei didn’t know how to cross the barrier or communicate with the Demon Vanquishing Tree, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. “Who is it?”
