I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 815

Chapter 815: 426

“This trial is too insoluble, it has little to do with personal strength, no wonder no one has been able to obtain the inheritance over the years,” Su Nan shook his head.

Upon entering the trial, one would become a young Heavenly Demon, losing all powers and abilities related to oneself, even knowing the content of the trial and the method to break through, passing the trial would be very difficult.

“Is this really a trial?”

“Or is it some kind of trap?” Su Nan doubted, feeling an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

This trial of the Heavenly Demon had no doubt trapped and killed countless geniuses of the demon clan over the years, yet the successors were not only undaunted but grew more determined with every defeat, summarizing some so-called methods.

This looked less like an inheritance and more like a death trap, its bait being the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon.

At this thought, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

Perhaps the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon in that stone hall was not as simple as imagined!

“Regardless, this trip wasn’t a loss, having managed to acquire a drop of essence and blood from Baize,” he mused.

Without finding a way to smoothly pass the trial, he didn’t plan on entering that stone hall.

An hour later.

The doors of the Heavenly Demon Hall slowly opened, and the final ceremony officially began!

The final ceremony was still presided over by the previous Emperor-level elder, and as the Heavenly Demon Hall opened, everyone stepped in to worship.

Su Nan followed the demons into the grand hall, and as he had foreseen, each of the stone pillars in the hall was carved with carvings of various demon clans.

As the demons entered, these carvings seemed to come to life, pairs of eyes staring at the demons.

Su Nan pretended to be like everyone else, curiously looking around everything inside the hall.

Smoothly reaching the deepest part of the grand hall, he saw that Heavenly Demon stone statue.

“Is this the Heavenly Demon?” This was Su Nan’s first time seeing the Heavenly Demon statue.

The statue was as foretold, genderless and faceless; had it not been for its location in the Heavenly Demon Hall, no one would recognize such an unremarkable statue as a Heavenly Demon.

Nothing unexpected happened; then, under the elder’s lead, everyone worshipped in the grand hall.

This process was long, lasting more than two hours.

As the worship continued, finally, some of those carvings on the stone pillars unbelievably came to life as if detached from the stone pillars and entered the bodies of some lucky ones.

And those lucky ones seemed to have taken some miraculous elixir, their bodies exploding with powerful auras, causing envy among those around them, who wished they could take their place.

Knowing that he could not gain the power of those carvings, Su Nan had nothing to look forward to and waited silently.

Soon he noticed that not just him, but Long Yunhan, Long Yuanmu, and others also lacked the support of the Heavenly Demon Hall’s power.

“Could it be that those who have awakened their Racial Talent have no opportunity?” he pondered a possibility.

But this no longer had anything to do with him.

The Task Panel for Lang Thirteen appeared before him, and he looked at the tasks on the panel with a slight frown.

In his vision, the “Explore Heavenly Demon Hall” task that had refreshed daily since arriving at Picking Stars Peak was not yet complete.

“The task is incomplete, could there be more to this Heavenly Demon Hall? Are there places I haven’t explored?”

If following the completion methods of previous exploration tasks, by now he should have been considered to have completed the task.

But the task’s incompletion already signified a problem.

“A four-star mission, indeed not so easy to complete.” He sighed inwardly, but wasn’t too disappointed since he didn’t really expect to complete the task.

Finally, more than two hours later, the worship ended, and everyone left the Heavenly Demon Hall.

The demons who had received the power of the Heavenly Demon Hall and awakened their Racial Talent were thrilled. There weren’t many of them, only about a dozen or so, and they had become the envy of everyone.

After everyone left the Heavenly Demon Hall, suddenly, a light burst forth from within the hall.

The light did not shoot straight into the sky but stopped in the void above the Heavenly Demon Hall. The next moment, a giant bronze gate, appearing as if cast from bronze, emerged before everyone’s eyes.

The bronze gate, heavy as it seemed, opened slowly, conveying a sense of weightiness.

Simultaneously, Qian Yu and others at the base of Picking Stars Peak looked up at the portal in the void, excited beyond measure.

“Demon Clan Ancestral Land! That must be the gateway to the Demon Clan Ancestral Land!”

“To think it would finally open after such a long wait!”

The group was on edge, ready to make their move.

“Those ranked in the top twenty, step forward.”

The elder presiding over the grand hall called out, and Su Nan, along with other top twenty demon clan geniuses, stepped out from the crowd, becoming the focal point of the scene.

The elder glanced at the crowd and said, “The Jade Plates in your hands are the keys to enter the Ancestral Land; they are also your keys to leave the Ancestral Land. Their use is the same as before in the Holy Blood Secret Realm; should you encounter insurmountable danger in the Ancestral Land, you can shatter the Jade Plate to leave.”

With that, he paused and cautioned, “The top ten may enter deeper into the Ancestral Land, but remember, the Jade Plate may not function in all areas, especially certain special regions in the depths of the Ancestral Land, so use it wisely.”

The elder’s gaze wandered intentionally or unintentionally over Su Nan and Long Yunhan, clearly indicating that he knew of their intentions of entering the Heavenly Demon Hall, and his words were meant for them.

Hearing this, everyone took out their Identity Jade that had served in the Holy Blood Secret Realm and readied themselves to enter the Ancestral Land through the slowly opening bronze gate in the void.

Soon, the heavy bronze gate was fully open.
