"The cost of power?"
Wen Yu's confusion remained unanswered. After the Demon Lord ntioned the term "cost of power," he imdiately stopped talking, rely crouching on the ground, fiddling with sothing unknown.
anwhile, due to exhaustion, Tang Haofei didn't say much either. The vast Demon Clan City fell silent for a mont.
Until a slight squirming sensation in his right hand awakened Wen Yu.
"Are you dumb? With so many demon beast corpses on the ground, do you not know how many physique points that is?"
Admittedly, if it weren't for the Almighty Demon Vine's "cold sarcasm," Wen Yu might have really forgotten about this matter...
...
The gentle energy filled Wen Yu's body, continuously enhancing his physique—this enhancent in physical condition also boosted his soul strength, and after its mutation, the Almighty Demon Vine could also absorb soul power.
This would once again widen the gap between Wen Yu's physical strength and soul body strength; fortunately, Wen Yu, who had already established his skill system, was more than happy about this.
The continuous influx of demon flesh energy provided Wen Yu with a permanent augntation. Although slow, it was enduring—so many demon beast corpses were enough for Wen Yu to "feast" on for a while.
He even released the Cyclops to save ti, allowing it to partake in the gluttonous feast brought by Tang Haofei.
...
The Demon Lord manipulated the teleportation array formation, Tang Haofei rested, and Wen Yu absorbed the demon's flesh and blood.
The only three people near the city found things to do; disregarding the littered corpses and the already spreading eerie vines, it could be called a rather harmonious scene.
However, good tis are always short-lived.
The Demon Lord was the first to sense sothing, looking up to the sky.
"Boom~"
A muffled sound, like the beating of a drum, spread far and wide, then echoed throughout the seventh floor of the Heavenly Palace.
Wen Yu opened his eyes and saw the Demon Lord's hand movents suddenly speed up.
"This is..."
"Hmm, it's here, the battle has started above, try to hurry up."
With the Demon Lord's words still echoing, another "boom" followed, and the next second, Wen Yu felt his body abruptly sink, as if an invisible pressure enveloped the entire realm.
"What happened?"
Tang Haofei, standing beside him, asked—after a short rest, Tang Haofei's condition had improved quite a bit.
Upon hearing Tang Haofei's question, Wen Yu gave a bitter smile.
"I did sothing that offended the Heavenly Dao just now, and now, my Senior Brother seems to want to find trouble with ..."
...
Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, the Almighty Demon Vine and Cyclops quickened their "corpse collection" without needing Wen Yu to say more.
However, the number of demon fiends that Tang Haofei had taken down was simply too many...
Before reaching halfway in their "corpse collection," the artificial sky above already exhibited changes.
The suspended artificial light source in the sky gradually dimd, as if an invisible shroud covered the sky.
The chilling wind slowly cald; at the sa ti, Wen Yu sensed the murderous air in the environnt becoming more intense.
"Drip..."
"Drip..."
In a state of soul perception, Wen Yu felt the temperature across the whole expanse plumt, followed by raindrops trickling from the artificial sky—who knew why it would rain in the Heavenly Palace!
The raindrops grew larger, the sky grew darker, and within three seconds, the initially scattered raindrops had turned into a downpour, instantly transforming into a deluge.
Once the rain touched Wen Yu's body, a severe chill surged from within, rapidly sapping his strength.
The next second!
With a "crack," a massive bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, its intense brightness piercing the increasingly dim sky. Amidst the blur, Wen Yu seed to see dozens of bizarre figures in the sky, circling the shadow of an insignificant humanoid being.
"Go quickly!"
The Demon Lord's shout jolted Wen Yu awake. He swiftly gathered the Cyclops and Almighty Demon Vine, seized Tang Haofei, and moved towards the Demon Lord.
...
On the ground, the mysterious teleportation array drawn by the Demon Lord flickered with dim light. One corner of the teleportation array was yet to be completed; at this mont, the Demon Lord was hastily completing it.
Avoiding disturbing the Demon Lord, Wen Yu raised his head to the sky once more. As if responding to his action, a fierce lightning bolt cleaved the sky, and under its illumination, Wen Yu indistinctly perceived that the bizarre figures in the sky had halved in number within a short ti.
"These demon fiends can't withstand much!"
The Demon Lord appeared anxious yet still snuck in a jab about the battle prowess of demons in this treasure land.
A sudden thought flickered through Wen Yu's mind. He looked up at the sky, then at the Demon Lord nearby, casually asking.
"Didn't you say the gap between Level 10 Limit Breakthrough demon spawn and a Level 11 powerful expert wasn't that large?"
"I was referring to the genuine Demon Tribe, not these sorry excuses! A Level 11 expert does have a fundantal gap with a Level 10 Breakthrough Achiever, but this gap can be fully compensated by numbers. The Heavenly Dao isn't like an Almighty Immortal Emperor, that rare prodigious figure that erges once every few hundred worlds; they might not win one on one, but ten against one can barely contend. But now... huh..."
The Demon Lord casually answered, his hand movents then paused.
"It's done!"
Wen Yu looked down, noticing that the last corner of the teleportation array on the ground had been completed.
...
"Get in!"
As soon as the Demon Lord finished speaking, Wen Yu already dragged Tang Haofei, impatiently entering the teleportation array.
Once Wen Yu and Tang Haofei were settled, the Demon Lord also stepped into the teleportation array.
Gently biting his fingertip, a drop of thick, dark blood dripped from the Demon Lord's finger, falling directly onto the teleportation array.
The next second, the teleportation array's light surged dramatically.
However, almost simultaneously, another bolt of lightning sliced through the sky, and then an enormous face, seemingly ford from clouds and mist, suddenly solidified in the heavens.
"Junior Brother... you've truly outdone yourself this ti..."
A simple sentence was heard, followed by thunderous explosions echoing through the clouds. The air of the entire seventh floor of the Heavenly Palace felt as if it had frozen, and then the face of the Heavenly Dao in the sky descended like a teorite.
In that instant, Wen Yu felt as if the heavens of the Heavenly Palace's seventh floor had collapsed!
The magnificent heavenly might, it was no different...
Even Tang Haofei, beside him, was in utter shock, staring at the looming enormous face above, paralyzed with no will to resist!
"Go!"
In a daze, Wen Yu felt the Demon Lord beside him shout, followed by the sensation of the world spinning around him.
