(I slightly changed the cultivation levels of He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming in the previous chapter. They are both at the peak of the Grandmaster realm because their aptitude improved after tempering in the Marrow Refining realm. Now their cultivation speed is on par with Lu Tao's. I didn't think of this before, so I'm reminding the brothers who are following the updates.)
"Xin'er, how are you?"
As soon as Lu Tao left the cave, he inquired about the distance between the two secret realms.
Kong Xin replied with some concern, "Brother Lu, at the current speed, we'll probably be caught up in about four or five hours."
"Four or five hours is enough."
Lu Tao nodded, indicating to Kong Xin not to worry, and continued, "You guys keep flying, I'm going out for a bit."
Upon hearing this, Han Yi asked, "Brother Lu, do you need to bring these two puppets with you?"
They all guessed that Lu Tao's emergence from seclusion this time must be to deal with those Grandmaster-level demonic beasts. With his strength, he was indeed not afraid, but it would undoubtedly be better if he had two puppets to help him.
"No need, you should stay and protect yourselves for now."
Lu Tao smiled and asked, "Where are those demonic beasts now?"
While asking the questions, Lu Tao took out his binoculars and scanned the surrounding area of the secret realm to see the location of the monsters.
"They are searching for us, trying to steal the beads."
Zhao Miaotong replied, "Fortunately, we have the puppet and other seniors. In the past three days, we have killed more than 400 demonic beasts. Now, they dare not appear alone and all move out in groups."
The senior that Zhao Miaotong mentioned was a grandmaster-level expert who entered the secret realm three days ago.
only.
These grandmasters are not particularly strong. When facing a grandmaster-level monster, they can only gang up on it. They cannot kill it in a one-on-one fight.
Lu Tao glanced at them briefly, not paying much attention to them, and laughed, "In groups, that's even better."
This way, he won't have to search for them one by one.
At this moment.
Mu Yihan, who was standing to the side, took out two rings and handed them to Lu Tao, saying, "Brother Lu, one of these rings contains the cultivation technique that was exchanged with the Soul Refining Fish, and the other ring contains the corpse of a demon beast and its storage treasures."
Lu Tao took the ring containing the cultivation manual, but not the other ring, and said, "Those spoils are yours, you can divide them among yourselves."
Lu Tao was not greedy.
He obtained almost all the good stuff in the demon clan's secret realm.
Lu Tao hadn't even had time to sort through the contents of the storage treasures of the thousands of innate demonic beasts he had previously killed.
He didn't care about the four hundred demonic beasts.
There are still 2,600 Grandmaster-level demonic beasts waiting for him to harvest.
"Alright, you guys continue, I'm going out."
Lu Tao opened the plane door, grabbed his binoculars, and flew out of the plane in a flash, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few moments.
"Such fast movement technique! His speed is even faster than that of a Divine Platform expert."
"Didn't you notice his cultivation level? It seems to be at the peak of the Grandmaster realm? Am I seeing things?"
"Indeed, such a fast cultivation speed. In just over three days, he has gone from the initial stage of Grandmaster to the peak of Grandmaster. It's terrifying."
Everyone stared in surprise as Lu Tao left.
Those newly joined innate and grandmaster levels were especially shocked and pale.
Even Kong Xin, Zhao Miaotong, Han Yi and others who knew Lu Tao before were very surprised. They did not expect Lu Tao to cultivate so quickly.
"But can he really defeat those Grandmaster-level demonic beasts?"
"And even if we solve it, so what? Once the demon realm catches up, there are still demons at the Divine Platform Perfection level who can enter, and we..."
"Sigh, it all feels like a waste of time. It would be better to just self-destruct the secret realm and escape. I wonder what Lu Tao is thinking."
The newly arrived innate and grandmaster realms didn't think much of Lu Tao.
Like Shen Jin, they felt they should self-destruct the secret realm to escape, preventing the demon and monster races from having any chance to enter and cause trouble.
——
"Shuang'er, Xiaoming, come out."
Lu Tao, who had flown far away, released He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming from the cave and instructed them, "Put on your invisibility cloaks and masks, and go ambush those monsters. I will send you directions."
"Okay, Brother Lu."
"Don't worry, Brother Tao."
Both of them donned invisibility cloaks and fourth-tier shoes, ready to set off.
Seeing this, Lu Tao smiled with satisfaction.
He then took out two hundred fireballs and handed them to the two men, authorizing them to take these fireballs with them. He said, "Take these fireballs with you. Don't give the monsters a chance to send a message. Use stealth to kill them instantly."
He Yuanshuang and the other person nodded quickly.
"Shuang'er, go over there. There are thirty demonic beasts seven hundred miles away."
"Xiao Ming, this way, there are forty demonic beasts six hundred miles away."
Lu Tao pointed out the location to the two, and they immediately disappeared into the distance.
Lu Tao also donned an invisibility cloak and flew to the other side. A moment later, Lu Tao appeared above a mountain range.
Here, more than seventy Grandmaster-level demonic beasts are using their divine senses to search extensively for the whereabouts of Lu Tao and the others.
*Sizzle*
Sudden.
Two or three hundred fireballs suddenly appeared in the previously empty airspace, moving at extreme speed and arriving in front of the monsters in the blink of an eye.
"not good!"
"Enemy attack!"
"careful!"
These monsters had very little time to react; they only had to utter a single sentence before the fireball landed directly on their heads.
With a whoosh.
The fireballs were incredibly powerful; they burst into flames the moment they touched their heads.
It only lasted for a fleeting moment.
The heads of more than seventy demonic beasts were burned to charcoal.
"roar……"
"Damn humans."
"Despicable and shameless."
Their consciousness had barely emerged, and before they could even escape, they merely let out an angry curse when the Soul-Capturing Pearl gently absorbed all their consciousness into it.
A fourth-grade superior Soul-Capturing Bead is more than enough to deal with the mere divine sense of a Grandmaster.
"No, what the hell is this thing?"
"Hey, don't eat me! Get out of here!"
"Let me out! I don't want to be eaten!"
From within the Soul-Capturing Pearl, screams of terror erupted, accompanied by sounds of chewing and tearing.
"That's terrifying."
Lu Tao stared at the seventy-odd demon beast corpses falling from mid-air, somewhat astonished.
The whole process only takes a second or two.
The fireballs instantly killed these monsters; it was so easy that Lu Tao didn't even need to lift a finger.
Lu Tao was particularly looking forward to the Soul-Capturing Pearl.
The Soul-Absorbing Pearl is a very special treasure. Not only can it be upgraded, but it can also increase its power by absorbing souls.
With these two improvements, Lu Tao had high expectations for it.
"continue."
Lu Tao chuckled, waved his hand to collect the monster's corpse, and then flew away invisibly to continue attacking monsters.
The other two places.
He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming also successfully killed the monsters one after another, and under Lu Tao's guidance, they continued to the next hunting ground.
And so, the number of monsters that died continued to increase.
One hundred, five hundred, one thousand...
Under the sneak attack of Lu Tao and his two companions, 1,400 of the demonic beasts were killed in a short period of time, with Lu Tao killing more than 200 in one go.
It wasn't until several demonic beasts sent messages inquiring about the search that they received no response, and only then did they realize something was wrong.
at last.
Only after the monsters communicated with each other did they realize that someone was secretly hunting them.
By this time, their numbers had dwindled to only about 1,200.
"It must be that Lu Tao. If he can kill the demon god's avatar, he can kill us too."
"Damn it, how can humans be so strong?"
"How could he kill so many of our clansmen so silently? Could he really have done it all by himself?"
The demons gritted their teeth, wishing they could tear Lu Tao to pieces.
But along with their anger, a sense of fear arose within them—the fear of facing death.
Originally, they planned to invade the interior of the Great Gan and devour the human race; they were full of hope for this.
But things took an unexpected turn.
Before we even got to the point of full-scale operations, we've already suffered heavy losses.
"All demons, converge on the altar!"
"No, we can't join up. Lu Tao was able to kill so many of our clansmen silently. A mere 1,200 people, even if we joined up, wouldn't be enough for him to kill."
The demon race had an internal conflict over whether to reunite.
You Yao believed that they must all gather together to avoid being ambushed and assassinated by Lu Tao, and to be defeated one by one.
Some demons believe that since the human race has refined two secret realms, they may ultimately be unable to realize their plan to merge the three secret realms. In this case, demons and monsters who have reached the peak of the Divine Platform will not be able to enter.
They might as well escape separately, hide, and wait for the time to return safely to the demon clan.
The two sides argued endlessly, each with their own valid points.
Ultimately, after some debate, the thousand demonic beasts decided to reunite, while the other two hundred fled to the outer mountains of the secret realm.
"Huh? This is interesting. It saves me a lot of time."
Lu Tao used his binoculars to see a large number of demonic beasts rushing towards the altar, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Shuang'er, Xiaoming, come back."
Lu Tao sent a message to the two of them and secretly flew towards the altar, preparing to meet up with them and then launch a sneak attack to kill the thousand demonic beasts.
at the same time.
On his way back to the altar, Lu Tao killed thirty more monsters that tried to escape.
The same applies to He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming.
In just half an hour.
Of the two hundred demonic beasts that fled to the outer edge of the secret realm, more than one hundred were killed.
Lu Tao left the remaining dozens of demonic beasts alone for the time being.
He, He Yuanshuang, and Wu Ming had already approached the altar and gone into hiding.
The moment all one thousand demonic beasts gathered, the three of them moved...
