The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 531 - 236: You, are the True Heir of the Tang Clan!_2

Huazhu nodded lightly, dealing with the ten sand dragon scrolls all at once, without giving the insect a chance to approach.

Following this, a sudden burst of thorny vines grew out of the rocks, and a barrage of tracking arrows, as well as blazing fire traps appeared... Various obstacles, checkpoints sprung up one after another.

If it were a patron of the third rank, no matter how strong, they would be worn out by dealing with them all.

However, Ye Hanjun acted with great ease, swiftly overcoming all challenges and making rapid progress.

"Be aware, the difficulty is beginning to increase, traps that can potentially harm the Wheel of Life Embryo are starting to appear."

Three hours later, the group slowed their advance.

Upon reaching a turning point, after dealing with a sealed ’Skull Soldier’, Ye Hanjun suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"The formation pattern here has changed."

"Master Pan, you take a careful look at it, then try to solve it."

"If we can open a black hidden door, it usually means that we have found a shortcut."

"If we open the red door of death, then we need to withdraw quickly. There is likely a very dangerous trap inside, we should not take unnecessary risks."

"Uhm...uhm..."

Pan Zhong nodded, colors swirling in his eyes.

His palms emitted light, probing into the formation pattern again, exploring constantly.

"Crack!"

A bright red illusionary door appeared on the wall.

With frightening blood spattering everywhere, Ye Hanjun abruptly grabbed Tang Qingling’s arm and pulled her away from their original position.

"Roar...."

A creature covered in fleshly bumps burst out of the illusionary door, squeezing out forcefully.

Ye Hanjun looked at it strangely; it was an aberrant demon.

Its initial type was unrecognisable, it seemed to have been given terrifying power through a terrible process.

The corresponding price was the loss of its mind, reduced to being a beast-like killing machine.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

The Darkest Abyss expanded beneath its feet, shrouded in darkness, the aberrant demon suddenly stalled its swinging claws, looking blankly at Ye Hanjun with tears trickling down from its blood-red eyes.

"What a pity."

Ye Hanjun shook his head slightly.

Because of the ’Demon Ruler’, there was an inherent restrain over the dark forces and demons.

This aberrant creature was touched and regained consciousness for a moment.

However, it made no difference, in the next second it lost consciousness again and attacked like a mad beast.

"Huazhu, see it off."

Ye Hanjun used the power of darkness to bind the creature’s limbs as much as possible, with the Law-Figure-World as the basis.

Under Tang Qingling’s horrified gaze, the Wind Blades rained down on the creature like a torrent.

Ten minutes later, the aberrant demon collapsed with a thunderous clap.

Cause of death - Wind Cry.

Upon closing The Darkest Abyss, Tang Qingling who was almost scared out of her wits, barely returned her soul to her body, and tremblingly said:

"Are you really the White Crow?"

"The White Crow and Master Han... were they the same person all along?"

Ye Hanjun looked at her expressionlessly without giving a direct answer.

He took out a dagger, dissected the aberrant demon’s corpse, dug out a black, still beating heart, chewed and swallowed it vigorously.

"Ah!"

Tang Qingling took three steps backward, feeling somewhat wet in her pants.

This scene was too frightening, the heart was half a meter in diameter. He ate it all up in a few bites, like a starving ghost being reborn.

Is Lord Han...a human or a demon?

This creature was obviously problematic, by eating its heart, not to mention the question of whether he can digest it, isn’t he afraid that he might also become aberrant, losing his own mind?

"Burp."

Ye Hanjun let out a satiated burp, licked his lips, and then wiped the blood from his collar.

There was no sign of discomfort on his face, instead, you could faintly sense an ancient and pure dark power oozing from within him.

The Demon Ruler - apart from using the ’Ring of Control’ towards the maintaining of his control, this will benefit the growth of his authority.

Killing and devouring demons are also important auxiliary growth methods.

The Heart of the Demon - It is a very important source of food for him!

It is a pity that there are too few demons in the Giant Frog Marsh and they are also too weak.

He was bound to go hungry in the last two years of the Night Trial, so having a good meal at this point was an unexpected joy.

"Let’s go, this is the door of death, it does not lead to the Central Area."

Pan Zhong nodded, although he was astonished by Ye Hanjun’s demon-like display, at the moment, the only thing in his mind was the formation pattern, nothing else mattered.

Tang Qingling put on a look of wanting to cry but not daring to, walking in front of the two, her stiff movements resembling a puppet’s.

"Here, try and see if there is a shortcut door."

"Why is it another door of death? Goose Immortal, you handle this aberrant insect."

...

After much cumbersome work, five ’doors of death’ were conjured consecutively.

Apart from the aberrant demon encountered at the first door which was suppressed and dealt with in the most efficient manner.

Goose Immortal wrecked one of the other four doors, and Ye Hanjun controlled Mo to wreck another.

As for the remaining two doors, as soon as they were opened, they fled from them. The illusionary door dripping fresh blood closed slowly as it couldn’t sense any enemies.

"Crack!"

Finally, the sixth door was pitch black, radiating a soft glow.

Tang Qingling stepped in first, followed by Ye Hanjun, GuaGua, Pan Zhong, and Huazhu.

"Croak!"

GuaGua blinked, as if to say "Wow!"

The ceiling, both sides, and the floor, the whole passage was shining, very magical!

"This is the hidden door that leads directly to the Central Area?"
