Killing God - Chapter 129
Chapter 129 Late At Night
This night was moonless and starry.
The Spirit Monkey Slope under the curtain of night was shrouded in darkness, and the surrounding fields were silent. Only when the mountain wind blew past the branches of the trees in the forest would it make some tiny sounds, but it also reflected the silence of this wilderness.
The Azure Snake Demon Army camp, which was located south of Spirit Monkey Slope, was still in a state of silence. Even though the defeated battle during the day had made people so angry, by this time, most of Demon race had already fallen asleep.
For some reason, Shen Shi had been unable to sleep tonight.
He tossed and turned for a long time, only to find that he was still not sleepy. He simply got up and walked out of the tent. He looked around at the silent barracks. Apart from the distant demon soldiers who were still dozing off, the rest of the barracks was completely flooded by the night.
After a moment of silence, he realized that he didn’t seem to have anything to do, so he strolled around the barracks. However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered the battle of the day. Yu Lin suddenly looked at him like he usually did. His strange and demonic snake pupils were still filled with an icy cold light that couldn’t be seen through.
This time, he remembered many times today. He had also told himself not to think nonsense, but it seemed that he could not help but recall it in his mind. What did Yu Lin mean by this glance?
Why did he suddenly look at him?
Could it be that in the fourth duel tomorrow, after discussing with the old white monkey, she decided to let herself fight against the blood wolf? Shen Shi’s heart suddenly trembled, and a faint chill couldn’t help but appear on the back of his neck. Could it be that because he had casually commented with the old white monkey a few days ago, and he was about to say something like “he can be consumed to death”, this muddled old fellow actually recommended him to Yu Lin?
Perhaps for most of the demon generals, it was an unparalleled honor to be able to obtain such a duel. However, what Shen Shi was thinking was clearly completely different from the normal Demon race. If possible, he definitely didn’t want to rashly engage in such a dangerous duel that he would lose his life if he wasn’t careful.
As for the glory of martial arts that all Demon race valued … Forget it, Shen Shi didn’t have the slightest interest in it.
“Old monkey, old monkey …” Shen Shi subconsciously pouted, thinking to himself that you old bastard must not harm others.
“What did you ask me to do?” Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.
Shen Shi was shocked. He almost jumped up. Finally, he recognized that his tone was somewhat familiar. Only then did he forcefully resist the urge to punch backwards. He quickly turned around and saw that five feet behind him, the old monkey demon with missing teeth had appeared. He looked at him with a strange smile on his face.
“Damn it … don’t scare me in the middle of the night, okay?” Shen Shi glared at the old man and said unhappily.
Old Bai Monkey laughed and walked over with his walking stick. He glanced at Shen Shi and smiled, “I still want to ask you, why are you walking around the camp in the middle of the night without sleeping?”
Shen Shi let out a long breath and rolled his eyes at him. In the end, he said honestly, “I can’t sleep.”
The old white monkey gave Shen Shi a confused “hmm” and looked at him a few more times, as if it was very strange that he would not be able to fall asleep.
Shen Shi felt that something was amiss all over his body. He couldn’t help but snort and said, “Isn’t it the same for you? You’re still wandering around outside at such a late hour. Are you very idle?”
The old white monkey grinned, ignoring the thorns in his words. He pounded his waist and swept his gaze. Then, he walked to a stone beside the road and sat down. At the same time, he waved to Shen Shi, “Stone, come over and sit for a while. I really can’t help but feel sore legs after walking for a while.”
Shen Shi looked at him and didn’t say anything else. However, just as he was about to walk over, his gaze suddenly narrowed. He saw that in the direction where the Old Bai Monkey was coming from, in a remote corner of the barracks, a few Azure Snake Guards were guarding a group of Illusory Fox Clan’s Fox Demons. It seemed that they were still quietly busy in the middle of the night.
Shen Shi stared at the scene in the darkness ahead. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he remained silent in the end. He turned around and sat down beside the old white monkey. His figure had already grown up, far surpassing the hunched old white monkey. Even though he was currently sitting on the ground, his upright body looked to be about the same height as the old white monkey sitting on the stone.
The old white monkey looked at Shen Shi and sighed in admiration. He reached out and patted Shen Shi’s shoulder, a trace of envy flashing across his eyes. Monkey Demons were known for their agility and intelligence amongst the demon races in the Demon Realm, and rarely had their fleshly bodies become incomparably strong. Without the support of demonic techniques, The old white monkey’s strength had already deteriorated greatly. Even if he slapped Shen Shi’s body, under his robe, Shen Shi could barely feel his weak strength, so he didn’t bother to pay attention to it. However, he still remembered the day-to-day duel in his heart. At this moment, he couldn’t help but ask the old white monkey,
“Old Monkey, that Blood Wolf has already won two consecutive battles. Look at his cultivation and how far he has come.”
The old white monkey thought for a moment and said, “I’m sure it hasn’t reached the Earth Demon realm.”
Shen Shi spat and said, “Nonsense!”
The old white monkey laughed heartily and didn’t care. That sentence just now was obviously a joke. Otherwise, if the Black Phoenix Demon Clan had two powerful Earth Demons, how could they fight against the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Clan in such a tied-up manner and directly crush them?
Put away your smile, Old Bai Monkey’s expression became more serious. After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, he said, “Of the four great realms of the Primordial World of Demon race, the first two are naturally impossible. Judging from the duel of the past two days, I estimate that this Blood Wolf’s cultivation has reached at least the high-level of the Desolate Demon. Of course, this is also the realm that most of the demon generals in the Azure Spirit World, be it the Green Snake or the Black Phoenix Demon race, can reach.” But … ”
Shen Shi frowned and said, “But what?”
The old white monkey was silent for a moment and said, “However, the Blood Wolf has not used its own life divine ability in the past two days of the duel. As you know, our demon race’s realm standard is still based on this life divine ability.” ‘”If the Blood Wolf’s bloodline changes and gets lucky, then if he takes a powerful divine ability and diligently cultivates it, he might be able to break through the bottleneck and reach the initial stage of the’ Flood Demon ‘.” At this point, the old white monkey paused for a moment and looked up at Shen Shi, saying, “How is your cultivation now?”
After a moment of silence, Shen Shi said indifferently, “It’s still the same as before, the Desolate Demon Realm. I can’t get past that barrier.”
The old white monkey sighed and gently patted his shoulder. “I know that you are usually diligent in your cultivation, but since ancient times, this barrier has been an extremely sad one for our demon race. At least 85% of the demon race will fall here. You don’t have to be sad,” he said.
After a moment of silence, Shen Shi suddenly said, “Except for those Demon King bloodlines?”
Old Bai Monkey smiled bitterly and nodded slightly. He raised his head to look at the night sky and sighed, “Yes, except for those Demon King bloodlines.”
④
Since ancient times, the difference in bloodlines among the demon races had been extremely obvious. For most ordinary demon races, high-level Desolate Demons were the limit they could reach in their lives. It was so difficult to cultivate further that it almost caused countless demon races to feel despair. However, amongst the demon race’s enormous species, There were eight strange demons with exceptionally noble bloodlines, It was unknown if the eight great demon kings under the Heavenly Demon King Court of the past were the ones who were especially biased when the Demon Emperor created the demon race at the beginning of the past. The direct bloodline of these eight great demon kings was completely different from that of ordinary demon races in cultivation. They had practically completely ignored this formidable obstacle and were able to easily overcome it.
For the Eight Great Demon Kings, the fork in their path of cultivation was at the boundary between the Earth Demon and Hong Yao realms. That step was similarly extremely difficult. Only a very small number of Demon race had ever been able to break through, even for the Eight Great Demon Kings whose bloodlines were noble and talented.
As for the legendary highest realm of Demon race, the Heavenly Yao Realm, it was no longer something that could be achieved through diligent cultivation. Most of the time, what was needed to cultivate to the supreme realm of the Heavenly Yao Realm was even more opportunities.
The demon race had been born unfair since ancient times!
Thinking back to Demon race’s unique bloodline as king, A moment of helplessness flashed through Shen Shi’s heart. However, a moment later, he suddenly remembered something that had quietly surfaced countless times in his heart. He couldn’t help but ask Old Bai Monkey, “Old Monkey, speaking of these cultivation realms, how much do you know about the cultivation on the human side?”
“Huh?” Old Bai Monkey was stunned. Raising his eyes, he looked at Shen Shi and said, Under his gaze, Shen Shi said, His heart skipped a beat for no reason. However, his expression did not change. She continued, “I read some scrolls, but most of them didn’t mention this. I read the Human Reading Notes a few days ago, and it mentioned a few sentences. However, apart from saying that the cultivation realms of the human race are divided into four major realms: Qi Refinement, Yuan Condensation, Divine Will and Origin Core, the rest … Oh, there’s also the matter of spirit stones. Apart from that, it’s also cursing.”
The old white monkey snorted with a look of disdain. It seemed to be very contemptuous of the “Human Reading Notes” and said coldly, “What’s the use of a book of empty talk? Didn’t I tell you not to read that book that day?”
Shen Shi paused for a moment, then laughed dryly, “Isn’t this Young Master Shu? If you have one, you can casually read it.”
The old white monkey glanced at him unhappily, but did not say anything else. Civil wars were raging in the Demon Realm. Most of the demon races were brave and ruthless, and few loved books. Even after hundreds of years, the scrolls in the Demon Realm had gradually become a rare item. It was not Shen Shi’s fault. Just as he thought of this, he heard Shen Shi say from the side,
“I was thinking, back then, the humans … oh, the thieves and humans did a lot of evil deeds. However, if we counterattack the human world in the future, we can’t be ignorant of the humans, right?”
Old Bai Monkey was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to feel the same way. He nodded and said loudly, “Well said!”
This cry shocked Shen Shi instead, and he subconsciously looked around. In the silent barracks just now, Old Bai Monkey’s loud voice was truly frightening. However, it seemed that most of Demon race had fallen asleep and had not woken anyone up. Looking back, Old Bai Monkey’s expression was solemn. He looked at Shen Shi and said, “Shi Shi, I didn’t expect you to be able to think of this. It’s not easy.” As he spoke, he suddenly sneered and said,
‘”I don’t know how many times I have told Demon race in the past few decades. We Demon race should put down our internal strife and unite together. We must never fight each other like this again. When the Flying Rainbow Realm retreats and the passageway reopens, we will counterattack the Mortal Realm once again and restore our Heavenly Yao Royal Court. This is the most important thing. Hateful …”
At this point, Old Bai Monkey’s expression was filled with hatred and frustration. It was clear that the outcome he had in mind was completely different from his expectations. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and shook his head. “Forget it, forget it. I can’t see that day anyway. Let them go.”
Shen Shi waited for a while, but he discovered that Old Bai Monkey didn’t say anything. He was stunned and asked, “Do you know anything about the methods cultivated by humans?”
Old Bai sneered. He looked at the stupid pig like an idiot and said proudly, “Do you think I’m the idiot who wrote the book ‘Human Reading Notes’? I’m not afraid to tell you. I don’t dare to say anything about the Twelve Worlds of Demon race. But in our Green Spirit World, aside from my White Monkey, no Demon race dares to stand out. Listen to me carefully.”
Shen Shi’s spirits instantly lifted, and he hurriedly listened attentively.
