Chapter 1016 - Heaven And Earth Opening: Demon’s Lair (2)

Chapter 1016

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao's whole body stiffened at the pressure being exerted around him. He did not know how he was discovered, as his mind immediately whirled into thinking of possible ways to avert this troublesome matter from happening.

If he is discovered by the shadow being, there is only one result. And that is to be tortured for eternity under the hands of these demons. He would be turned into their slave or far worse.

As he thinks to this point, his mind suddenly recalled what is happening around him.

"Ah… Damn it. Dark essence…" he immediately thought.

His body suddenly jolted as if awoken from his slumber and his body slowly began to emit a dark aura around him.

When the Shadow Being saw this, its mouth suddenly twitched as if realizing what is happening. It knew that all these lowly demons have lesser intelligence and could only follow the command of their superiors.

Most of them are just muscle heads and would always be used as cannon fodder in the war.

Upon seeing the demon it seems to have suspected seem to feel its presence, it seems to have been awoken from its sleep and was jolted before displaying its lowly aura.

"How audacious… These lowly peons dare to even sleep in here while the great commander is talking… Humph…" the shadow being that saw Shin Jiao harrumph coldly and turns around to return to its post and continue monitoring the army.

Shin Jiao who escaped the dangerous predicament heaves a sigh of relief.

"Damn, that was close. I was almost caught back there." He thought as he secretly wipes off the large beads of sweat on his forehead.

After a few words from the two leaders, the army was then sent to their posts.

At this time, Shin Jiao already got the needed intelligence plan. However, he is unable to send it out from inside the cave as it seems that there is something that is interfering with the signal.

"This is bad… I have to get out of this place…" he thought as he calmly followed the part of the demon army that he is with.

However, instead of going out, it seems that the part of the demon army that he is in is actually going deeper into the cave. There are seven of them in a group and were assigned to guard a particular room.

The demons with Shin Jiao did not react and just followed the demon commanding them. Shin Jiao's peon looks like the others, with a not too big and not too small body, and has the head of a creature that looks like a goblin. Shin Jiao chooses this instead of the other one which he decapitated that was gorging the meat from before because this figure fits his physique.

And so he blended perfectly amongst the group of demons as he stood in line along with the seven of them.

Shin Jiao's absolute sense immediately scanned the area and especially the room. But he quickly stopped as he saw a tall demon wearing a long black gown walking through the corridor. Following behind him is a petite female demon with a lone tail.

"A lich and a succubus…" Shin Jiao thought as his gaze followed the two.

Suddenly, the lich turned his gaze towards Shin Jiao.

"Hmmm… These new guards that his highness Yol-gar took with him are useless and brainless pawns… I could not even feel any brain activity in this one…" the lich said as its glowing beady eyes shifted away from Shin Jiao.

"Hihi… That is the reason why they were chosen… I heard the fox demon gathered some powerful guards on her side." The succubus said with a tantalizing voice.

The other demon guards around were immediately tantalized as they gaze at her like brain-dead fools.

"Humph… That fox demon is as crafty as ever… She is close to his Highness Yol-gar, so we cannot fight against her. However, after we arrive in the new world, let's see how she takes care of herself. Maybe she would die early in the event… Hehe…"

The two soon enter the room and then sits on the wooden couch covered with soft beast leather.

"I did not get that plan that much. How can we open the portal to the higher realm by destroying a planet? That would not open the portal, right? Instead, it would attract the attention of the deities towards us." The succubus said with a frown.

"Stupid creature… I am wondering how you were able to become one of the kings in his highness Yol-gar's demon army with your dimwittedness..." the lich shook his head.

"We invade this immortal world because every immortal world has the Heaven and Earth opening… we have been waiting and planning for centuries for this to happen. Once it started we could use the gates to those worlds to choose a lowly planet. Once we connected to that lowly planet, this immortal planet and the lowly planet would lockdown and those that are inside the planet would not be able to come out and those outside the planet would not be able to enter." The lich explained.

The succubus then nodded her head in understanding.

"Demon Emperor Yol-gar will enter that world and destroy it from within by creating portals in that planet to enable us to enter it. But we are expecting resistance from the deity of that planet if there is one. Or if there isn't the planet's spirit would resist us. This would make the beings on that planet transform and become strong… but what can they do against us who are already in the saint realm… Hahaha…"

"Ahhh… So we can do whatever we want in that place, right? I can't wait to absorb mortal essences. It's been a while… Hihi…"

"As for me, I will rise my own undead army and trap those precious immortal souls in them. I will corrupt them and then bask in their…" the lich was feeling a bit jubilant in explaining the plan when it suddenly noticed something.

"Wait… Someone… Someone is watching us." The lich said as it quickly looks at the entire room.

"What do you mean someone is watching? We are the only ones in here…" the succubus said in confusion.

"If it is a spirit then we would have already detected it. If it is a spiritual sense, then I could have already felt it." She said with a frown.

"Hmm… I don't know… I just."

"You bag of bones… you have dealt with too many spirits and their twisted memories that it started to cloud your mind… Hihihi…"

"You… Do not tease your senior… I am still, your superior, you know…"

The two then resumed their discussion and their desire to conquer a planet.

At this time, Shin Jiao has already retracted his sense and his fist and clenched tight. He did not know if the Shadow Being or the demon is the one they called as Demon Emperor, but he is sure that if he did not report this or stop them, then everything would be too late. He now has learned of the true plans of the shadow beings.

The heaven and earth opening will be starting soon and he has to act fast.

He began to concentrate and tried to direct his teleportation skill to a particular area, but it seems that there is something that is disrupting his ability in this place.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao's eyes lit up, and remember a particular room he has scanned. That room is the place where the Shadow Being and the Demon Leader entered. Although it was just for an instant, he immediately recalled what is inside that room.

"A portal… in that room, there is a portal that is interrupting the universe's energy in its surroundings. Then that means, that portal is a long-distance portal…" he thought.

Then horror struck his face as he knew that those two has already begun with their plan.

"Damn… am I too late?" he thought.

Without thinking twice, Shin Jiao decided to act immediately.

He spreads the poison in the air and it permeated the corridor.

Then suddenly, the demon guards fell on the ground one by one. Shin Jiao used his psychokinesis to not let them make a sound while falling unconscious.

Shin Jiao immediately walks away from the hallway and then directly went in the direction of that room. When he reached the corridor where that particular room was, he suddenly felt that everything became calm in the surroundings.

He then saw that there are many demons guarding the particular door.

"Damn… I really am too late." He muttered to himself as he felt that he could not use his skill once again.

He has no time to think about anything else and quickly sent his recordings through his communication line while the disruption is down.

After doing that, he quickly left the place in a hurry. He has no time to do anything as the fate of a planet is in his hands. What if the planet chosen is Gaeus Ro or Earth? What would he do if it was too late?

The demon suit he has worn suddenly slumped to the ground as if its bones were melted.

And its fall immediately caught the attention of the other demons in the corridor.
