resources, even one's own primordial spirit can't bear it. 。 。If the fire path in this Burning Scripture didn't align with Lu Xia Tian's Fire-Conjuring Formation quite a bit, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't eas...Besides these formation cracks, Lu Xia Tian also saw a thin, long tube extending over at an opportune time, drawing in the ancient demonic energy at an astonishing speed.
“This must be the work of Du Fenghu, he sure has a big appetite.”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
“Such pure ancient demonic energy! It truly is the high-grade demonic energy that can help us ascend to a higher plane!” As wisps of demonic energy emerged from the fissures in the ground, all the demons present were instantly filled with surprise and delight. Bathed in this ancient demonic energy, many old demons felt an overwhelming sense of comfort and well-being.
Previously, they could remain calm because they were all cultivators of great attainment. However, the ancient demonic aura that is now appearing is enough to move them.
"How come the ancient demon qi is more than expected" As numerous demons were diligently absorbing the ancient demon qi, Yinbei Demon Ape Yuan Qi and three other leading figures behind this sacrifice felt a hint of confusion in their hearts.
A large amount of ancient demonic energy permeated the altar, even starting to overflow. The altar could no longer contain the surging ancient demonic energy.
This caused some tenth- and eleventh-tier demons outside to become restless. However, due to the strict order, they didn't dare to act out of line for the time being, but this trend had already emerged.
"My lord, so much demonic energy... it's a steal for these guys." Among the many demon clans, two figures clad in wide black robes stood close together. The one behind him spoke with unwillingness.
"This is both a great tonic and a death warrant. This ancient demon's qi belongs to the ancient demon. If you absorb some of it, the one-eyed three-armed demon man will eventually find you, and then he will inevitably devour you alive." Another figure in black robe chuckled. If Lu Xia Tian were here, he would surely recognize the voice as Xùn Hóng, the leader of the Xùn Yīn Mó Zhāng tribe whom he had encountered in the ancient tomb!

"But sir, this is ancient demonic qi, it's useful to you as well. Could it really be that we just have to stand here and watch" The previous guy said unwillingly.
“Of course not, I have other arrangements. Heaven has no two suns, and demons have no two masters. The number of tribes that emerged from the Demon Abyss is limited and insufficient to suppress the vast demon horde in Starfall Valley. It’s necessary to eliminate most of them. Instead of wasting them for nothing, it's better to offer them as sacrifices to the Three-Armed Cyclops Demon, contributing to the great prosperity of our demon race.” Xun Hong let out a hearty laugh, with an air of absolute control, “Let's go. After the Three-Armed Cyclops Demon wreaks havoc, we will clean up the mess. Take over Starfall Valley!”
Lu XiaTian was currently unaware that Xun Hong had already arrived at Broken Star Valley. At this time, his attention was solely focused upon the altar.
As the demonic energy grows stronger, many of the offerings can no longer be easily identified with the naked eye.
Lu Xiaotian had already memorized the location of the offerings. At the same time, he used Zi Ye Zhen Wu to be on full alert for any changes that might occur underground. Since the ancient demon's aura came from the ground fissure array patterns, it was possible that the demon man would also appear in this way.
“It’s about time.” Taking advantage of the fact that most of the other demon clan's attention was focused on the ancient demonic aura, Lu Xia Tian, relying on his previous memories, approached Bing Sui Yue Que Sha first. Since he had come, he naturally had to stick close to himself. Even if Xiang Yi Hang wanted to quarrel with him later, that was a matter for after.
“Cicada, what are you doing in the fire”
Even though Lu Xiaotian was extremely careful and approached Bingmu Yueque Shasha quietly, bypassing most of the powerful demon race members around him, there would always be some who slipped through the net. One of the twelve-ranked powerhouses of the Xue Ling Demon Race noticed that Lu Xiaotian, disguised as Gu Liehuo, had deviated significantly from his original position.
"Not good, there are enemies appearing beneath the ground!" Lu Xiaoxiao thought to himself that this Xue Ling Demon Man was a nuisance. However, using Ziye Zhenwu's ability to sense the earth, Lu Xiaoxiao only felt a powerful and almost irresistible aura coming from the array crack in the ground. It hadn't reached the altar yet.
"Don't be ridiculous, this is the Star-Shattering Valley. The human race hasn't mobilized a large army. How dare a few scattered cultivators come here Besides, they are underground. Could there be some demonic beast foolish enough to come looking for death"
That called the twelve-tiered Snow Ridge Demon Man, Lu Xiaodong's enraged cry, "Say it again, even the four clan chiefs haven't found anything amiss, how can you see it"
“Get him out! Anyone who disrupts the order, throw him off the altar!” The high-ranking demons on other altars started clamoring. After all, not many had the chance to enter the altar and directly receive the baptism of a large amount of ancient demonic energy. For any demon, this was an opportunity with immeasurable benefits. Now that there was one who made a mistake, they wouldn’t let this chance to kick him while he’s down pass by. The strongest among the four great demon clans reacted especially strongly.
"You four demon clans already hold dominance in Starbroken Valley. You've claimed more than half the spots on the altar. What more do you want Do you truly intend to exclude all of us smaller tribes, and only allow your four clans to rule Starbroken Valley"
Lu Xiaoteng saw that although the ground fire patterns emitted a terrifying aura, it would still take some time for it to reach the altar. Lu Xiaoteng naturally didn't want to be forced off the altar now, resulting in all his efforts being wasted. Even if he had to tear up his face, he had to delay the time somehow.
Although the Four Great Demon Clans held an absolute dominant position in Broken Star Valley, the united forces of other demon clans were not to be underestimated. Xue Ling Mo Ren acted arrogantly, but Lu Xia Tian was no pushover either. With a single statement, he caused the strong individuals from other races to look at the demons of the Four Great Clans with suspicion. Although Lu Xia Tian had slightly moved from his original position, the aura of ancient demons was gradually intensifying at this time. If they were to directly drive someone off the altar because of this minor mistake and replace them with members of the Four Great Clans, it would be a bit too much.
The quota for the four races has already passed half, and with each additional quota absorbed, the demonic energy of the ancient demons will further increase their advantage. Since they can now drive Lu Xia Tian off the altar, if they make just a little progress later, wouldn't they be able to take this opportunity to drive one of them off the altar as well
"You, Lu Lie Huo, don't think you can provoke me. Although our Four Great Clans are powerful, we aren't unreasonable. I'll let this slide for now to avoid accusations of the Four Clans bullying others and denying other races a path forward. However, after this, I will settle the score with you." Xue Ling Demon Lord, Hong Tian Gang, glared coldly at Lu Xiao Tian.
“I've heard much about Elder Hong's prodigious powers, unmatched within the Shattered Star Valley. If Elder Hong is feeling restless after this matter is settled, Gu would gladly spar with him!” Lu Xia Tian calmly replied.
All the powerful demon clan members present thought their ears must be malfunctioning. After looking at each other to confirm they hadn't misheard, they all stared at Lu Xia Tian with a look of utter disbelief. This Gu Liehuo was usually quite careful in his actions, so how come today he was acting like he had taken the wrong medicineDo you really have so many Xianjing Such a huge sum would be enough for even an elite Immortal army to consume for a period of time.
