Demon's Diary

The beastkin fox aspect in mid-air also dissipated quickly with the collapse of Hu Mei Avatar. Aside from the remaining spiritual power fluctuations in the air, the surroundings regained their peace.

Liu Ming breathed out. The purple demonic patterns on his body quickly faded, and the scales also turned into black air, merging into his body.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Ming reverted to his original human appearance.

Although demonization could increase Liu Ming’s combat power several times instantly, the demonization consumed stamina and spiritual power at a greater rate. After Liu Ming stretched his muscles and bones, he took out two elixirs that restore spiritual power and swallowed them.

Under a big tree hundreds of meters away, Yao Ji and Ye Tianmei stared at Liu Ming in astonishment. After a while, the two women glanced at each other and flew over; Yao Ji was in front while Ye Tianmei was behind.

“You… are you really that Liu Ming that I met in the upper realm ruins that day?” Yao Ji walked to a distance of more than 30 meters from Liu Ming, stopped, and assessed Liu Ming up and down with her beautiful eyes. She seemed a little unsure.

“If you don’t believe me, I can tell you how we met back then.” Seeing Yao Ji’s expression, Liu Ming was a little amused. He suddenly had the thought of teasing her.

“No… no need…” Yao Ji seemed to have thought of something suddenly. A blush flushed on her cheeks, and she shook her head hastily.

Liu Ming saw Yao Ji showing such a shy and beautiful side and was about to tease her a few more times. Then, he suddenly felt a cold gaze.

He turned his gaze to Ye Tianmei, who was coming forward from behind Yao Ji, and his heart suddenly jumped. Then, he quickly composed himself.

“After parting for a hundred years, I never imagined that your current strength to reach this level. Was that a demonic technique?” As a result, when Liu Ming was about to speak, Ye Tianmei sighed softly.

“…It’s a long story. Let’s leave this place first. We’re still in the Sky Fox Race area. The battle just now might have attracted the unwanted attention of other beastkin cultivators.” Liu Ming raised his brows and glanced around with flickering eyes, touched the Yin Conversion Gourd on his waist, and said.

Yao Ji and Ye Tianmei naturally would not object. The three of them cleaned up the battlefield a little, then they flew toward the north of the Red Water River.

At the same time, in a vast mysterious space.

The place was filled with peaks and valleys, surrounded by waters, and the spirit here was dense, like an immortal land. The place was faintly similar to Wan Bo Mountain where the Sky Fox Race was located.

In a certain verdant valley, a circular high platform with a radius of several acres stood in it. There was a layer of faint blue translucent light curtain that was inverted like a giant bowl, covering the entire high platform.

The light curtain was filled with a faint blue mist. Hu Mei, Shadow Wolf Race Saint King, and Green Snake Race Saint King levitated in the air hundreds of meters away from each other. Their expressions were solemn.

Suddenly, the blue mist around them tumbled. E8 giant fox phantasms emerged from it. Each fox phantasm seemed to have seven tails growing behind it.

As soon as they appeared, they rushed toward the three of them without saying a word.

Although each of these beastkin fox phantasms exuded the aura of the Celestial State, they were no match for the 3 Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses. They dissipated in a mournful cry.

Suddenly, Hu Mei’s face changed slightly. On a pink bead bracelet on her wrist, one of the beads quietly shattered.

Her mind was shaken, and she spewed out a mouthful of blood. Her complexion became a little pale.

“Damn it, who intervened to destroy my avatar? Could it be that the avatar met a Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse from another clan?” Hu Mei’s thoughts ran quickly, but her face remained calm.

“Miss Hu Mei, what happened? Could it be that this mere fox phantasm illusion array actually hurt you?” Shadow Wolf Race Saint King frowned and turned around to look over.

“It’s nothing. Sorry to trouble you, Shadow Wolf Race Saint King.” Hu Mei’s expression changed slightly, then she said with a faint smile.

“Really?” *Shadow Wolf Race Saint King sneered with a meaningful smile on his face.

“The fox phantom aspects that will be dispatched will be in Mystic Comprehending State. Be careful, and don’t ruin all of our efforts at the last round!” Green Snake Race Saint King glanced at the two people beside him with a dark light flickering in his eyes, then he snorted and said.

The three of them harbored their own intentions, but none of them revealed them. They continued to keep their cards in their sleeves and wait silently.

…

In front of the Red Water River…

Not long after Liu Ming and the 2 women trio left, a dark shadow flew over silently from a distance. It was the soul of the dark-faced middle-aged man, Ji Meng.

The little wolf phantasm transformed by Ji Meng’s soul glanced at the battlefield on the ground, revealing a hint of fear in his eyes.

Although he had hidden in a place far away from this location just now, he still felt the violent fluctuations of spiritual power. He was terrified in his mind.

The human cultivator, Liu Ming, who appeared suddenly, could even easily kill the avatar of a mighty Mystic Comprehending State cultivator. Liu Ming’s strength far exceeded Ji Meng’s imagination. Given Ji Meng’s keen sense of the Celestial State, Ji Ming could clearly feel the thick demonic qi.

Although it was only fleeting, it was an incomparably real true demonic qi. Such a level of true demonic qi could only be possessed by higher-rank demons who resided in the Thousands Demons Continent.

“Could it be that this person is actually…?”

Ji Meng looked in the direction where Liu Ming was leaving. A hint of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes. He was hesitating whether to continue following him.

After all, at his current state, Ji Meng would surely die once he was discovered.

However, having said that, if Ji Meng could confirm that Liu Ming was a demon, it would shock the entire Savage Wild Continent once the news spread!

The Blood Vine Race, the number one race among the 8 tribes of the Savage Wild Continent, actually colluded with the demon. Yao Ji, the princess of the Sky Fox Race who was in trouble, was suspected to be connected as well.

At that time, not only would it be justifiable for the Shadow Wolf Race to eliminate the Sky Fox Race, but it would also damage the Blood Vine Race’s reputation in front of all the tribes. The Shadow Wolf Race would also be able to use this opportunity to elevate their status.

After a moment of hesitation, Ji Meng’s desire outpowered his rationality. He darted forward and determined to continue his effort to tail Liu Ming.

Suddenly, a black line above the ground shot out at lightning speed. It pierced Ji Meng’s soul in a blur.

Ji Meng screamed in pain as a small hole was inflicted upon his soul. A corrosive stench spread out from it.

Before Ji Meng’s soul could react, a golden light shot out from the ground, shrouding him.

Ji Meng let out a terrified scream. His soul expanded and contracted constantly. The little wolf phantasm inside jumped up and down for a while, trying to break free. However, under the shroud of the golden light, Ji Meng’s efforts were futile.

With a flash of silver light, Xie’er’s figure emerged from the ground, then she sucked Ji Meng’s soul into her mouth.

Xie’er burped, showing a hint of satisfaction on her face. She then turned into a silver light, chasing after the direction where Liu Ming was going.

…

To get rid of potential trackers, they sneaked for a day and a night after crossing the Red Water River. After making sure that no one was following them, they hid in a remote and desolate mountain range.

Liu Ming dug out a few stone chambers and set up an array to conceal all traces, only then he could breathe a sigh of relief.

“After escaping so far, the pursuers probably won’t come here so soon. Let’s rest here for a while. We will continue on our way when we recover our energy.” Liu Ming took a deep breath and sat down.

After a series of battles and even activating demonization, Liu Ming really needed some time to recover his stamina and spiritual power.

Hearing the words, Yao Ji and Ye Tianmei sat down not far from Liu Ming.

This place was already secluded. There were no birds or animals passing by. The two ladies seemed unwilling to speak, making the atmosphere even quieter.

Liu Ming was also aware of this, and he looked a little embarrassed. The atmosphere became quite awkward unknowingly.

The intricate situation lasted for some time. Yao Ji glanced at Liu Ming and Ye Tianmei, stood up all of a sudden, and walked into a stone chamber inside.

After a while, the stone chamber was shrouded in a layer of light. Obviously, Yao Ji installed several enchantments inside.

Liu Ming sighed in his mind. He turned around to look at Ye Tianmei just as Ye Tianmei also looked over, and their eyes met.

Ye Tianmei blushed for a while and subconsciously looked away.

Seeing Ye Tianmei’s expression, Liu Ming relaxed instead. There was a smile on his face.

Speaking of which, Liu Ming had thought about the scene where he met Ye Tianmei many times, but he felt a little at a loss when it actually happened.

“Master’s Junior Ye, ever since our farewell on the Siren King’s flying boat back then, I never thought that I would meet you today in this foreign land, Savage Wild Continent.” Liu Ming sighed and said softly.

“There is no need for the Master’s Junior. Your current cultivation has already far surpassed mine, so you can just call me by my name.” Ye Tianmei waved her hand and said.

“Alright.” Liu Ming nodded unceremoniously upon hearing this.

“Back in the war at Sea Emperor Palace, I went to look for you. However, most of the slave miners there disappeared without a trace. Where are you all these years?” After a while, Ye Tianmei asked softly. The cold expression on her face faded a lot.

“At that time, I…” Liu Ming told her about his encounters in the seabed mine and space fissure he took to get to the Middle Sky Continent.

“…about 40 years ago, I returned to the Sea Region by chance. Later, I trigged an enchantment in the depths of a sea near Phoenix Chirp Mountain, then I came to Savage Wild Continent unknowingly.” After more than an hour, Liu Ming finished his experiences over the years.

Liu Ming had said similar things to different people many times, but this time he mentioned the story in the most detailed and authentic manner.

However, Liu Ming couldn’t help but have a question in his mind throughout the conversation.

Since Liu Ming started cultivating, it appeared that he had traveled back and forth between different continents for various reasons and often encountered things like space fissures. Was it really just a coincidence?
