Chapter 3937 Digging
Although it was known that Stage One to Thirty-two on the Other Shore were also full of danger, it was only dangerous for the fragile Souls of Light.
If one could enter the Other Shore in physical form, they were more likely able to deal with the troubles thrown at them. This was why Other Shore Realm warriors used to be tough enemies for Other Shore creatures in the past.
Therefore, ever since Zen entered the Other Shore in his physical form, he had rarely encountered any unsolvable problems.
In fact, Stage One to Thirty-two on the Other Shore could be seen as a huge training ground. The training started with Stage One, was complicated by the Soul City and the Land of Bone Tribulation, and ended in the Eternal Scroll Painting.
But the Three Purities Stage was a completely different story.
Horrible creatures lived here. To enter meant putting one's life in danger.
While it was true that the Three Purities Stage was extremely dangerous, the rewards it offered were extremely tantalizing.
For instance, after Eastern Emperor Taiyi reached the Eternal Realm, he had taken back a batch of Other Shore Tokens from the outermost Grand Pure Realm. These alone were enough to greatly enhance the Holy Soul Realm masters of the entire Oneness Sky Palace to a higher level.
Moreover, countless secrets were hidden in the Supreme Pure Realm and the Jade Pure Realm — secrets which, when discovered, were bound to enlighten and strengthen their finders.
But even the outermost Grand Pure Realm was much more dangerous than the lower stages on the Other Shore.
Although the Primeval Lord of Heaven had been to the Land of Diabolic Demons, he had never plunged into the Diabolic Earth. Thus, he decided to question the other human heroes to glean any information about it. Finally, he got the answer from Gonggong, the God of Water.
There were a total of three death lands on the periphery of the Grand Pure Realm, and among them, the Land of Diabolic Demons was considered the most dangerous one.
"If I am now under the Land of Diabolic Demons, then that'd mean..." Zen trailed off as he studied his surroundings. Suddenly, he looked up. "I would need to dig out a path upward to leave."
It wasn't difficult for Zen to dig out a passageway through hundreds of miles of normal soil.
"Things are not that simple," the Primeval Lord of Heaven interrupted with a shake of his head. "The bodies of the Diabolic Demons are formed from the Diabolic Earth. This bloody Diabolic Earth is a part of their bodies."
"You mean, this whole place
is bloodline. I bet his bloodline is quite powerful..."
There was a reason why the Three Purities Stage was dangerous even for Eternal Realm warriors.
Devouring one made the aboriginals here stronger. While they couldn't obtain the abilities of the bloodlines, the more Eternal Realm warriors they devoured, the stronger they became. Moreover, this kind of enhancement was permanent. Not only would the current generation grow stronger, but so would their children and the generations to come.
The Diabolic Demons were notorious for their cruelty on the periphery of the Grand Pure Realm. There were a great number of Eternal Realm warriors who had died in the Land of Diabolic Demons. Even so, the Diabolic Demons were still not qualified to gain a foothold in the Supreme Pure Realm.
The four leaders of the Diabolic Demons were eager to become stronger. They would never let potential prey slip through their fingers.
"Then don't hesitate. Let's kill him," the fourth Diabolic Demon stood up immediately, raising his hands towards the outside of the huge petal.
On the scarlet earth, thousands of Diabolic Demons rose at their leaders' command. Then, they dove back into the earth, heading straight for Zen.
The thick earth was as soft as water to the Diabolic Demons. Following their subordinates, the four leading Diabolic Demons also plunged into the earth.
Zen, who was still deep in the Diabolic Earth, sped up his digging, but he was still unable to confirm where exactly he was underground.
He didn't know that he was digging towards the very center of the Land of Diabolic Demons, nor did he know that a large army of Diabolic Demons were closing in on him from every corner.
