Chapter 390: Devil’s Den

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Snow fell, and the cold wind howled.

A figure stood against the wind. He had black hair and eyes, and his physique was like that of a pine tree that was firmly rooted in the snow.

Although he had a handsome face, his calm eyes revealed a glint that did not match his true age. It was as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life for thousands of years and had gained wisdom over the years.

Following their leader, the surrounding dire wolves also shrank to the size of wolves and quietly prostrated themselves on the ground.

There was no need to spell it out with words. Under the lead of the clan leader, the dire wolves had unconditionally submitted to the human in front of them.

“Mr. Chen, your talent is unparalleled in the history of the dark forest world. You don’t need anyone to guide you, nor do you need many opportunities to comprehend the power of each realm on your own. You can also comprehend the power to the extent that you are invincible among those of the same level and can fight those of a higher level.

In fact, every powerful enemy you encounter is not an obstacle, but an inspiration for your progress along the path of cultivation, helping you become stronger. One cycle, two cycles, creating one shocking battle result after another, leaving behind an invincible history,”

the wolf clan leader said slowly in a respectful tone.

“I saw with my own eyes that this planet was once almost completely destroyed. Human civilization fell into despair under the threat of the black tide. Endless negative emotions were born, and mutant creatures were living in large numbers on this land.

If no one could change the situation, a terrifying existence would be born from the negative emotions. They would eliminate the remaining resistance and spread the darkness to the entire world.

On the other hand, you were calmly strategizing step by step. You could always suppress the other party at the critical moment and deflected the attack from the black tide all alone.

It’s as if the black tide that changes the universe is nothing much to you. Even among the geniuses from the top cultivation civilizations in the universe, not many can achieve such a feat alone without the help of numerous factions supporting them.”

As the leader of the dire wolves spoke, Chen Yiming almost broke out in a sweat. He was just hiding his strength and waiting for an opportunity to increase his strength. He didn’t have any plans or strategies.

“The attack of the black tide is determined by the value of this world. As long as we grasp the corresponding speed of their moves, it won’t be difficult to deal with it,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

This was the beginning of humans subduing the creatures from other species. Everything had to be done perfectly in the beginning, so he reluctantly admitted to it.

“That’s true. Under the guidance of the goddess, the dark forest world had set up a world-level formation. The attack of the black tide was far more manageable after that.

In the end, the reason for our failure was because we did not have an overwhelmingly strong expert like Mr. Chen that could unite all the forces to take action together.

As a result, even though we used a world-level formation to destroy the weapons of war and the blockade, we failed on the verge of success because of internal strife. We will never have a chance to make a comeback.”

The leader’s tone became even more respectful.

There was something else that it knew in its heart but did not dare to say out loud. Not only was the human civilization facing the pressure of the black tide, but they were also facing the pressure from the terrifying creatures from the dark forest world.

For example, the huge eye and the snow beast had been targeting humans. It was not just one or two times that the two sides had clashed.

Another example was the bone beast and the giant on the warhorse. They had almost managed to sacrifice all the humans to the huge mouth on the blockade. After failing, they were forced to find another way.

However, in the end, the sacrifice was still made by the environment of the planet where the human civilization lived. The foundation base of the formation had transferred an unknown amount of core energy, and it would not be able to recover in a short period of time.

“The dire wolves are not bad. The other terrifying creatures think that they have broken through the blockade of the black tide, but they don’t know that the true blockade is around the solar system. They are thinking too simply.”

Chen Yiming shamelessly revealed the information that the female spirit had told him. It was as if everything was under his control and he had predicted his opponent’s movements.

“Gasp! The huge eye, the snow beast…”

The expression of the leader of the dire wolves changed, and it subconsciously looked up at the starry sky.

The sunlight and clouds could interfere with the vision of ordinary people, but not creatures at the fusion realm. Countless stars hung in the sky.

The solar system was formed by nine stars, and its diameter was about two light years. Even with such a large area , it was still within the range of the blockade.

It was clear how much the black tide valued this part of the universe. Even if the first wave of attacks seemed normal, it did not mean that other operations were not being planned.

“Could they have already…”

The dire wolf leader’s voice began to tremble as it looked into the silent starry sky.

If what Chen Yiming said was true, the terrifying creatures from the dark forest world might have already lost their lives in some corner of the sky.

Of the terrifying creatures that had come to this planet to take refuge together who did not take the humans seriously at first, only the dire wolf leader seemed to be left.

“That depends on their luck,” Chen Yiming said calmly. How could he know if the terrifying creatures were dead or alive? In any case, there must be a backup plan left behind by the black tide. Therefore, he gave an ambiguous answer.

As soon as he finished speaking, not only the leader of the dire wolves, but the expressions of the surrounding dire wolves also changed drastically. They all thought that the calmer they were, the more likely it was for them to die.

At the same time, the entire dire wolf clan was convinced that he was an existence that could defeat the black tide.

Faced with the opportunity to break out of the moon’s blockade, he could tell at a glance that it was a trap. It was not a true blockade at all.

“Then what should we do? Using the formation to mobilize the core energy to restrain the huge mouth on the blockade might not work a second time. I’m afraid breaking through by force…”

The leader of the dire wolves was panicking.

The attack from the black tide had only been repelled once, but it would not stop just like that. The next time they faced it, they would have to deal with the completed war weapon.

However, this planet did not have the conditions to set up a world-level array formation and use the power of the entire world to destroy the war weapon.

“The mutant beast factions have almost been wiped out by the bone beast. The main intelligent creatures left on the blue planet are humans.

After obtaining the black tide’s technology three times in a row, everyone has unprecedented confidence in the space plan. The fear brought about by the arrival of the black tide has already fallen to its lowest point.

Therefore, the war weapon on the blue planet is not a concern at all. Instead, we should consider whether the black tide will send over some terrifying existence from the dark forest world.”

Chen Yiming continued to lie. Actually, he was only guessing about the completion of the war weapon. He let the leader of the dire wolves fill in the blanks.

“I was too flustered. I didn’t expect that the most dangerous place would become the safest place.

The war weapon has yet to be completed as planned. The blockade is restricted by certain rules, and it will not take the initiative to attack this planet,” the dire wolves’ leader explained with an awkward expression.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming was very satisfied.

Unintentionally, the situation had turned out well for them. As long as the situation continued according to the general trend of what he said, the dire wolves would not dare to be disloyal.

After all, even the actions of such a terrifying black tide was graped by Chen Yiming. What could a small group of dire wolves do? They would probably be wiped out as soon as they had the intention of making a move.

“Since the planet we are living on is safe, should we join forces with the remaining native forces to take the initiative to attack and further cut off the tentacles of the black tide on the other side of the space travel passage?” the leader asked.

As Chen Yiming pointed out a few key points, the situation seemed to have brightened up. They didn’t need to worry about the other things that the black tide had left behind in the solar system for the time being.

Coupled with Chen Yiming’s performance in the previous battle, it seemed that they only needed to hold back the complete war weapon in the dark forest world. Then, it would be possible to snatch back all the foundation bases.

After that, with the complete world-level array formation, whether it was to launch a further counterattack or to use it to break out of the encirclement, their options immediately increased.

Of course, this was based on the premise that Chen Yiming had the ability to deal with a complete war weapon.

“Let’s start with a foundation base that is easier to obtain. I wonder if you dare to come with me?” Chen Yiming continued calmly.

Wu Susu had encountered an unknown attack when she was helping him investigate, and he did not know the exact situation now. If he could trick the wolf clan leader to go along with him, things would be much easier.

“Of course. The dire wolves are Mr. Chen’s to order around,” the dire wolves’ leader said without hesitation.

Next, Chen Yiming learned about the situation in the depths of the ground on the other side of the space-travel passage in the strange village. That place was called the devil’s den by the creatures of the dark forest world.

It was originally a special location, so a large amount of fiendish aura naturally gathered there, creating countless evil spirits. Even without the black tide, a large number of demons and ghosts would appear every 100 years or so.

In the history of the dark forest world, the fear that the devil’s den brought to the world a long time ago was similar to the arrival of a black tide.

Every 1,000 years or so, a demon god would be born in the devil’s den. The demon god was an existence that had surpassed the fusion realm. The power of the entire world was needed to seal the demon god and prevent the demons from causing chaos.

The 10,000-meter-long corpse that Chen Yiming had dug out was responsible for suppressing the devil’s den.

However, there was a black tide invading from the outside. In order to prevent the dark forest world from being attacked from both inside and outside, it could only choose to sacrifice itself to seal the entrance of the devil’s den.

“Is that mysterious underground space the entrance to the devil’s den? I remember that it didn’t take much effort to dig out the corpse and take it away.”

Chen Yiming frowned in confusion.

“The black tide invaded the world to harvest the negative emotions, so the devil’s den naturally can’t escape from the harvesting. All these years, it has been far from recovering to its peak.

I remember that when the foundation base was placed there, there was not even an evil spirit at the fusion realm inside. The devil’s den only existed in name.”

The leader of the dire wolf clan explained why they did not meet with much resistance.

Chen Yiming nodded and seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

This way, only some evil spirits at the inscription realm would be left. As long as they did not intend to go deep into the devil’s den like Wu Susu, the inhabitants would not care about what was happening outside.

Perhaps the evil spirits were also afraid of the black tide and did not dare to show their faces.

Of course, he was not interested in the evil spirits. They were all existences that could be killed with one strike. His goal was the essence energy that had slowly accumulated in the devil’s den over the years.

…

Just as Chen Yiming found the leader of the dire wolves and was about to make a move on the foundation base in the devil’s den, two figures hiding in the darkness revealed themselves.

One of the figures left countless reflections of small spikes on the wall. There was something sharp growing out of its mouth. It was a dark, many-legged mutant insect.

The other figure was emitting a foul-smelling black aura. It did not have any limbs, eyes, mouth, or other organs. It was like a pile of mud. It was a black mud monster.

These two dark creatures were among the terrifying creatures that had surrendered and successfully completed the transformation ritual. They were the creatures that had truly joined the black tide.

The dark, many-legged mutant insect spat out a bottle of liquid into the entrance of the devil’s den. An invisible fragrance began to spread along the irregular underground passage.

Not long after.

The evil spirits hiding in the shadows of the underground passage quickly split into more individuals.

This was the unique way in which such creatures reproduced.

Then, the devil’s den was completely thrown into chaos. Due to the increase in the number of evil spirits, they naturally had chaotic emotions. Since they were close to each other, conflicts were naturally inevitable.

After that, like a chain reaction, they all started fighting. Just like countless years ago, a demon god was finally born.

“I heard that the dark werewolves, the dark iron corpses, and a dark mutant insect were completely trapped in the other world. They couldn’t even escape.”

The black mud monster’s voice echoed through the empty underground passage.

A few evil spirits that were moving in this direction were affected by the even darker aura. Their red eyes regained some color and they quickly turned to leave.

“They were locked up in the sealed item together, so they had no chance to unleash the power of the body of darkness. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been killed. Fighting three against one, they should have been able to easily toy with that human,” the dark, many-legged mutant insect said disdainfully.

As an official member of the black tide, it was much stronger than those who had failed the transformation ritual and the terrifying creatures who were unwilling to surrender.

Its horizons were no longer limited to the small worlds, including the few small worlds around the dark forest world.

The body of darkness had modified its physique from the inside out, and it had unleashed an endless amount of potential. If not for the fact that there was a problem in the dark forest world, the dark, many-legged mutant insects would still be fighting in another galaxy, and would not have been temporarily transferred back.

“The negative emotions born in the dark forest world were intercepted by the black tide. The devil’s den is no longer the ferocious place it used to be. Can it really give birth to an evil spirit at the demon god level?”

The black mud monster changed the topic and continued.

The mission given to them by the mysterious existence above was to use a bottle of unknown liquid to nurture a demon god. Then, they would control the demon god to invade the world on the other side of the space-travel passage.

The reason for this was because a human had unexpectedly interrupted the descent of the black tide. The intelligent creatures in that world were not afraid of the black tide.

This was absolutely intolerable. They had to maintain the fear brought about by the black tide while continuing the invasion.

However, the black tide had its own rules for invading the world. Chen Yiming hadn’t displayed enough talent to break the rules, so they couldn’t mobilize the war weapon across worlds.

“Who knows? That human’s combat strength is half a level higher than the fusion realm. If he dares to stop the birth of the demon god, the two of us can work together to deal with him.

On the other hand, the foundation base is buried in the devil’s den. If that human doesn’t come, we can control the demon god to kill him three days later. As long as the strongest human dies, won’t the human civilization collapse?” the dark, many-legged alien insects arrogantly voiced its thoughts.

“Perhaps I was thinking too much. Although the dark werewolf, the dark iron corpse, and the dark mutant insect also obtained the body of darkness, they are still on a different level from us.

We were all the same as that human. We have combat strength that exceeds the level of the fusion realm by half a level. That was why we were arranged to fight in the battle in the powerful galaxy.

The three of them might not even be familiar with the use of the body of darkness. Otherwise, how could they be unable to fight back?”

The black mud monster gradually let go of its worries. After all, Chen Yiming’s achievements were quite terrifying. Even with the use of the special sealed items, they couldn’t take him down.

The supreme will had used the dark fruit to control a human. However, it didn’t tell the dark mud monster and the dark many-legged alien insects that it had lost to Chen Yiming.

Perhaps it was precisely because they hid this fact that the dark mud monsters and the dark many-legged mutant insect had treated spreading fear back to the other world as killing the strongest human.

Then, just like an apocalypse, they would sweep through all the resistance in that world.

The dark, many-legged mutant insect did not reply. In its frustrated mood, it gently waved its countless sharp legs. Immediately, a large portion of the passage melted, and a terrifying aura spread out.

At this moment, the depths of the underground passage were disturbed by the commotion. More evil spirits instinctively distanced themselves, causing greater chaos. Countless whispers gathered into a strange melody.

This was what the dark many-legged mutant insect wanted to do to speed up the completion of the mission given by the supreme will. It wanted to intimidate the evil spirits and push the demon god to be born faster.
