Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Traces Left by the Heavenly Demon from Another Realm

“What’s up, missing me again? Oh, have you found the Yin Yang Heaven Seal?” “This isn’t the time for jokes. Take a look at this beast. Do you notice anything abnormal?”

Seeing Jiang Li speaking so seriously, Bai Hongtu stopped fooling around and examined the beast carefully as instructed.

Bai Hongtu could not use his Divine Sense through the Remote Communication Talisman, he could only use his eyes to examine the beast. To give Bai Hongtu a clearer look he touched the rampaging beast’s forehead. The beast disintegrated into countless particles and spread out.

The projection of Bai Hongtu circled around the particles.

“Is this…the trace left by the Heavenly Demons from outside this realm?!”

Bai Hongtu widened his eyes and couldn’t quite believe his speculation. However, a few traces were too similar to the work of the Heavenly Demons from outside this realm.

Once, a Heavenly Demon applied a Heavenly Demon disintegration technique, polluting cities. The contaminated people lost their minds and ran rampant. Anyone bitten by them would also end up losing their mind and becoming the new source of infection.

Structurally speaking, this beast cannot infect other creatures, but its lack of sanity, behaving only on instinct, is similar to the modus operandi of the Heavenly Demons!

“We reached the same conclusion. It must be the work of the Heavenly Demons from outside this realm.”

“Is this world so strong that it hasn’t been invaded by the Heavenly Demons yet?!” Bai Hongtu was greatly taken aback. The Human Emperor, the power of faith, Immortal Artifacts, and the powerful beings of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, etc. All resources available were fully used in a desperate attempt to resist the onslaught.

Among the worlds beneath the Immortal Realm, Jiuzhou is known for its formidable power. This world does not seem particularly strong but has managed to fend off the Heavenly Demons.

Bai Hongtu grew respectful towards this world. Seeing the people here, he held them in high esteem.

Noticing Ming Zhong, Bai Hongtu understood that he was a man of this world and treated him with respect as well.

The stare from Bai Hongtu’s projection made Ming Zhong feel rather awkward because he felt that Bai Hongtu may have misunderstood something.

“The unusual thing is that the Heavenly Demons appear to have only tampered with the beasts, inciting them to attack humans, without launching a direct attack against them.”

“Let me introduce you. This is the leader of the human race in this world, President No. 506, you can call him Ming Zhong.”

“This is Bai Hongtu, the Sect Master of Dao Sect, at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.”

Jiang Li introduced them to each other.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Sect Master Bai.”

Ming Zhong looked at Bai Hongtu with deep admiration, making Bai Hongtu feeling slightly puzzled.

“According to Ming Zhong, this is the strongest beast they have ever encountered. It’s fresh from a breakthrough. They’ve never seen anything like it before. As for threats like Heavenly Demons, they’ve never seen them at all.”

“What, Body Integration Realm, the strongest?” Bai Hongtu was stunned. What are the Heavenly Demons thinking of? Relying on a beast of the Body Integration realm to invade a world? If such a creature dares to come to

Jiuzhou, the Dao Sect could devour a Body Integration Realm beast hotpot the same day.

Noticing the puzzled expression on Ming Zhong’s face, Bai Hongtu realized that what means nothing to Jiuzhou is a massive threat to this world.

“Oh, I mean, the Body Integration Realm is quite strong.” Bai Hongtu hurriedly tried to correct himself.

If Ming Zhong did not know that the other was a powerful being of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, he might have believed Bai Hongtu’s words. But the problem was, he already knew!

The Transcendence Tribulation Stage saying the Body Integration Realm is quite strong… isn’t that a bit awkward? It just makes things more awkward!

Ming Zhong wished he were emotionless at this point, so he wouldn’t feel so embarrassed.

“There’s another thing you need to know. The Yin Yang Heaven Seal said it sensed the cause and effect of Dao Ancestor here and suspects that it’s right here.”

“The Ancestor is here?!” Bai Hongtu asked excitedly, eyes gleaming. This is an unexpected gain and incredible good news for Dao Sect.

“At present, we have not found any traces of the Dao Ancestor, but the senses of the Yin Yang Heaven Seal should be correct.”

“What are your thoughts?” Bai Hongtu calmed down. A Mahayana Realm being coming to this world, the Ancestor could not possibly be unaware. However, the Ancestor is still nowhere to be found, which suggests something is wrong.

“I suspect that the Dao Ancestor might be confronting the Heavenly Demons and does not have time for us.” Jiang Li had a new theory after discovering the traces of the Heavenly Demons here.

“Then we’ll have to trouble you.” Bai Hongtu said solemnly. On this matter, he couldn’t be of much help and could only rely on Jiang Li.

After disconnecting the Remote Communication Talisman, Jiang Li turned and asked Ming Zhong who was looking at his toes, “Are these beasts, or what you call ferocious beasts, only found here?”

“No, this is just a part of them. The rest are active in their territories.” Ming Zhong pointed towards a direction opposite to the human territories. The ferocious beasts came from there.

“However, I’m not quite certain about the situation over there. Every machine that went into the beasts’ territories for investigation was destroyed. Very little data was sent back.”

Ming Zhong also started to refer to the ferocious beasts as beasts.

Jiang Li nodded, “Let’s go, let’s have a look over there.”

The land of the beasts was entirely different from human territories. Hundreds of meters tall ancient trees could be seen everywhere. Perhaps there was a beast hiding in the crown of a tree, waiting to ambush its own kind or them.

Those beasts died horribly, and their remains couldn’t even piece together one complete cadaver.

Every time Jiang Li casually killed a beast, Ming Zhong would gleefully smile. His laughter continued the entire way, and his throat was dry from laughing.

On their way, they saw several beasts that had just gone through Body Integration. Ming Zhong realized then that the beasts had evolved to a point where humans couldn’t catch up. If not for Jiang Li’s arrival, they might have been wiped out by the beasts within a few hundred years.

Of course, he couldn’t distinguish which beasts were at the Divinity Transformation Stage or the Body Integration Realm. The Yin Yang Heaven Seal told him.

Ming Zhong’s knowledge expanded. He discovered various types of beasts that humans had no knowledge of. The beasts that they had put great effort into studying were only a small portion.

“All the beasts have been tampered with by the Heavenly Demons from outside this realm.” Jiang Li analyzed several beasts. They were all without intellect, acting merely on instinct, with traces of being infected by the Heavenly Demons from outside this realm in their bodies.

But Jiang Li didn’t see any beast that had reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. The stage is not reachable by bloodline alone but requires profound comprehension of Heavenly Dao and fulfilling multiple conditions, impossible for these beasts without wisdom.

“Have you noticed that the concentration of spiritual energy is getting denser?” The Yin Yang Heaven Seal asked.

“Indeed.” Jiang Li noticed that the concentration of spiritual energy here was on par with Jiuzhou. If these beasts were infused with wisdom, it would not be surprising for a few to reach the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

“Stop!” Jiang Li suddenly shouted.

“What’s wrong?” The Yin Yang Heaven Seal halted in its tracks.

“We might face danger ahead.”

Jiang Li frowned. He used his Divine Sense to sense a beast a few hundred kilometers away that might have become an Immortal!

Yet, how could a beast without intellect, which was not even possible to break through to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, become an immortal?!

And where did the Ascension Stairway come from?! Could there be an Ascension Stairway in this world?
