“Die, die, die, die...”
As soon as everyone entered the Ancient Realm, low, dense roars like the pounding of drums echoed through the surrounding gray, resentful aura.
In the next instant, countless vengeful spirits without lower bodies surged out of the black mist and attacked Mo Tianxiao and the others. Their sharp claws, condensed from resentment and baleful energy, flew toward them like deadly hooks.
A late-stage Dao-Proving Realm cultivator from the Feather Spirit Clan stepped forward and casually waved his hand. A mass of flames erupted out of thin air, instantly incinerating the vengeful spirits that rushed toward them.
Liya explained, “The resentment and baleful energy here aren’t the most troublesome things. The real problem is these Demon Wraith Remnants. They were formed from the resentment and remnant souls of deceased members of the Demon Wraith Clan. They lost their consciousness long ago, leaving behind only an instinct to kill.”
“Demon Wraith Remnants like these can be found everywhere throughout the Ancient Realm. There are even some Demon Wraith Remnants with strength comparable to the Overlord Realm, so we must be extremely careful on this trip.”
Mo Tianxiao observed the so-called Demon Wraith Remnants, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
They were fusions of resentment and remnant souls. In other words, the essence of these Demon Wraith Remnants was their divine souls.
And since they were divine souls, weren’t they right in his area of expertise?
Mo Tianxiao did not reveal anything unusual. Instead, he asked Liya, “If we run into a Demon Wraith Remnant with strength comparable to the Overlord Realm, wouldn’t we be completely defenseless?”
“Idiot. How powerful are Overlord Realm cultivators? The Demon Wraith Remnants here merely possess combat strength that can barely compare to that of an Overlord Realm cultivator. That doesn’t mean they truly possess the abilities of one.
“Overlord Realm experts possess heaven-defying methods. How could these remnants possibly compare?”
Mo Xingtian glanced at Mo Tianxiao as though he were looking at an idiot, his eyes filled with disdain.
As expected of a weak human who had just come from a lower plane. He knew nothing. He probably did not even understand the true might of an Overlord Realm cultivator.
Liya glared at Mo Xingtian before turning back to Mo Tianxiao and continuing, “There’s no need to worry. Demon Wraith Remnants comparable to Overlord Realm cultivators are extremely rare. Even if we encounter one, we’ll have a chance to escape.”
“Demon Wraith Remnants generally remain within fixed territories. As long as we leave their range of activity, they won’t continue pursuing us.”
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao nodded. “I see. Which direction should we explore first?”
The resentment and baleful energy here were incredibly dense, making it impossible for divine sense to probe very far.
Liya took out a crude map. Several locations had been roughly marked on it. “This is a map marked by the cultivators of my Feather Spirit Clan who have entered this realm over the generations. There are four places that may contain Demon Origin Star Ore.”
“Our primary objective this time is to find Demon Origin Star Ore. Of course, it would be even better if we could find a Demon Origin Star Ore vein.”
Seeing this, Mo Xingtian, who had originally been somewhat displeased, also took out a map. “My Shamo Clan has a map as well, but I can’t guarantee that those places definitely contain Demon Origin Star Ore. I suggest that we first search for locations marked on both maps.”
“What Young Master Mo said makes sense. Miss, what do you think?”
Chris, a perfected Dao-Proving Realm cultivator from the Feather Spirit Clan, turned to ask Liya.
Liya pondered for a moment before nodding. “All right.”
“My Shamo Clan will take half of the Demon Origin Star Ore we find,” Mo Xingtian said again.
“Half? Dream on.” Liya immediately objected.
“You only brought one map, and you want to take half? You might as well go and rob us directly.”
Their Feather Spirit Clan was contributing both manpower and information, while the Shamo Clan had merely brought a shabby map yet still dared to make such an outrageous demand. Naturally, Liya disagreed, as did the other members of the Feather Spirit Clan.
“Young Master Mo, half is too much. Besides, we haven’t even found any Demon Origin Star Ore yet, so there’s no need to discuss this now. If we truly find some, I think we should wait until we have all left before discussing how to divide it. What do you think, Young Master Mo?”
Chris’s words left Mo Xingtian unable to argue. He could only nod in agreement. “Fine... We’ll talk about it after we find some. But let me make this clear first: this human isn’t qualified to take part in dividing the Demon Origin Star Ore.”
“The distribution isn’t up to you to decide.” Liya calmly looked at Mo Xingtian. “If you want more Demon Origin Star Ore, you can act on your own. We aren’t forcing you to travel with us.”
“Ahem, Miss Liya, Young Master Mo, let’s talk about this after we find the Demon Origin Star Ore. We shouldn’t waste any more time, or another faction might get there ahead of us.”
Chris stepped in to mediate. He did not want to offend either side.
On one side was his own clan’s young lady. On the other was the most outstanding junior of the Shamo Clan, who was also the future leader of the clan.
Both were promising young talents, yet they were arguing here because of a human.
Chris could not help but regard Mo Tianxiao with new respect. He had no idea what this human had done to make their young lady defend him so fiercely while also making Young Master Mo hate him so much.
Mo Tianxiao carefully observed the Demon Wraith Remnants around them, completely ignoring whatever Liya and Mo Xingtian were arguing about.
When a Demon Wraith Remnant with merely the strength of the Soul Formation Realm pounced at him, he casually seized it in one hand. In secret, he activated a trace of the Human Sovereign Banner’s power.
In the next instant, the Demon Wraith Remnant let out a shriek as though it had encountered its natural enemy, then vanished without a trace.
In everyone else’s eyes, it appeared as though Mo Tianxiao had crushed the Demon Wraith Remnant to death with a single grip. In reality, the little thing had already been absorbed into the Human Sovereign Banner, where it now trembled in terror before an army of more than a million souls.
Seeing this, the corners of Mo Tianxiao’s mouth rose uncontrollably.
At that moment, he only wanted to say one thing:
In this Ancient Realm, he was the one and only god!
“Let’s go! We need to find the Demon Origin Star Ore. There’s no time to waste!”
Mo Tianxiao suddenly shouted. Liya and Mo Xingtian froze, immediately ending their argument.
Mo Xingtian stared at Mo Tianxiao’s face and frowned. “You didn’t hear what we were saying?”
“What are you talking about?” Mo Tianxiao asked, looking at Mo Xingtian in confusion.
“You...!”
Mo Xingtian’s dark face nearly turned red with anger. After all that arguing, this detestable human had not listened to a single word.
“All right, all right. Young Master Mo is right. We need to find the Demon Origin Star Ore, and there’s no time to waste!”
Seeing Mo Tianxiao speak up, Chris immediately stepped forward and pulled him along, saying warmly, “Young Master Mo’s cultivation is rather weak. Stay close to me. I’ll protect you.”
“Is that really necessary? I can still protect myself.”
When Mo Tianxiao saw Chris’s mature, handsome smile, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
“It is necessary, it is. Don’t worry, Young Master Mo. You’re Miss’s friend, which makes you a friend of my Feather Spirit Clan. Naturally, I’ll ensure your safety.”
Putting an arm around Mo Tianxiao’s shoulders, Chris forcibly led him forward while signaling to the other two late-stage Dao-Proving Realm cultivators from the Feather Spirit Clan.
“That’s right, we’ll definitely protect Young Master Mo’s safety.”
The two Feather Spirit Clan members came over at the same time and surrounded Mo Tianxiao.
Seeing this, Liya and Mo Xingtian could no longer continue arguing and had no choice but to follow the others forward.
Chris suddenly realized something: this mission would be much easier as long as he handled this human properly...
