Chapter 432 - 240: Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony
Several demons appeared distressed, as if they had escaped from somewhere. Apart from Eagle High, who had wings and could transform into an old eagle to fly, the other demons had wounds on their bodies, clearly having gone through a fierce fight.
Seeing Su Nan transformed into a wolf demon, the few demons first looked startled, then overjoyed:
“Master?”
“It’s great that you’re finally here, Master!”
These demons seemed to have seen their savior, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling unburdened.
Su Nan asked curiously, “What happened to you guys? Were you targeted by a human martial artist?”
This area was outside of Zhongtian County, and not covered by the power of Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition. This place should be the demons’ territory, and by rights, they should be safe.
Eagle High complained, “Master, you must take charge of this for us! There’s a guy named He Gu who wants to use the Bloodline Servant Imprint to control us in order to get the qualifications for participating in the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony. He wants us to be cannon fodder and help him steal the divine weapons of the human race.”
“We belong to you, Master. Naturally, we cannot be controlled by He Gu. The Bloodline Servant Imprint can only be used by the Hundred Clans who have the qualifications. He Gu doesn’t have the qualifications, so he wants to silence us by killing us before his usage of the technique is exposed.”
“We had no choice but to reveal your identity, Master. But when He Gu found out that you are the younger brother of the Tiger Emperor, not only did he not become frightened, but he became even more determined to kill us.”
“If it wasn’t for our strength, we might not have been able to see you, Master.” “He Gu?” Su Nan was surprised. There were other demons who wanted to control other demons using the Bloodline Servant Imprint like him.
“What is the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony?”
He became interested. Just hearing the name, he knew that the so-called Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony must be some kind of major event for the demon clan.
“You don’t know about the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony, Master?” the few demons asked, astonished.
Su Nan frowned slightly, and his gaze swept over the few demons.
Seeing Su Nan’s gaze, the few demons shrank their necks and immediately realized they had said too much. They didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
Old Goat immediately stepped forward and said, “The Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony is a ceremony held by our demon clan every thirty years. It takes place in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, and only demons under the age of thirty can participate.”
“Those who participate in the ceremony can obtain various benefits. Not only can they possibly make their bloodline regress, but they could also inherit the ancient Great Monster’s legacy.”
“However, not every demon is eligible to participate in the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony. Each demon clan with a Demon King has only one place, and each demon clan with a Demonic Emperor has only five places.”
“The demon clan that He Gu belongs to has as many as four Demon Kings, making them a relatively powerful force in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge. However, since they don’t have an emperor-level powerhouse, they only have one place.”
“He Gu is quite young and already at the mid-stage Xuan-level. With this level of strength, he would be considered a genius among most demon clans.” “Unfortunately, there are many other demons with outstanding talent among He Gu’s peers in his clan. Some of them are even on the verge of reaching the Demon King realm. In such circumstances, He Gu naturally wouldn’t be eligible to participate in the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony.”
“In order to obtain the qualifications to participate in the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony, He Gu thought of this attack on the human race. According to our demon clan rules, as long as one makes significant contributions, they can be granted an exception to participate in the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony directly, without even needing to go through the final selection.”
Bloodline Regression!
Ancient Fiend Legacy!
After hearing Old Goat’s words, Su Nan nodded.
If he could really make his bloodline regress and reach the level of ancient fiends, it would indeed be an irresistible temptation for demons, not to mention obtaining the legacy of ancient fiends.
Although he didn’t know what he could gain from the legacy of ancient fiends, he could guess that it must be a great opportunity without even trying.
Su Nan asked, “He Gu is just a mid-stage Xuan-level demon. How could he be so confident in obtaining the divine weapon?”
Eagle High explained, “I heard that He Gu obtained a secret technique from a relic, which can teleport people to a designated space. However, the secret technique is not very reliable. Most people who are teleported will die from traversing through space.”
“He Gu’s idea of directly entering the space formed by the array nodes to steal the human race’s divine weapon is simply wishful thinking. If the divine weapon of the human race was so easy to steal, our demon clan would have stolen it long ago.”
So that’s how it was.
After listening, Su Nan finally understood what happened.
He wasn’t interested in He Gu, but instead became interested in the so-called Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony.
“What would happen if I participated as a demon?”
Thinking about this, Su Nan’s eyes sparkled slightly.
With the ability of foreseeing the future and the Life Wheel Scripture, if he really participated in the so-called Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony, even if he couldn’t obtain the ancient fiend legacy, he should be able to achieve Bloodline Regression.
“When will the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony take place?” Su Nan asked.
“I heard that it should be in half a month.”
“Half a month later.” Su Nan noted this down, as he was already planning to head to Ten Thousand Demon Ridge in half a month.
As if seeing through Su Nan’s intentions, Eagle High cautiously said, “Master, the Skywolf Clan you belong to is one of the Ancient Hundred Clans and has a Demonic Emperor powerhouse. However, if you want to participate, I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
Su Nan asked, “Why?”
Eagle High replied, “The prodigies of the Skywolf Clan are numerous. Just twenty years ago, two king-level powerhouses, the Green Wolf Demon King sisters, emerged from the branch that left Ten Thousand Demon Ridge and settled in Sky Wolf Valley of Tianyun County. With their talents, they are bound to secure a place.”
