Chapter 212: Chapter 145: Submerged Land Level Demons Are Truly Bizarre

This was the first time he had ever directly Sacrificed one million souls to a single Dungeon.

Lu Cang had no idea where this passage would lead.

Nor did he know what kind of Demons would spawn.

The Submerged Land Level was the upper limit for a Tier Five Demon. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But it wasn’t necessarily the limit for a Tier Six Demon.

’If Demons truly have a new, higher Tier for each advancement...’

’Then a Tier Six Demon should have an even higher Level above Submerged Land.’

Chi Cheng also wore a serious expression, not treating this operation as child’s play.

He nudged the small of Obades’s back with his elbow. "Brother Shi."

"You go in first and take a look. Come back out and tell us what it’s like inside, then we’ll go in."

Obades gave a heavy nod.

"Wait," Izparut said.

"The Restrictions inside will likely be difficult to break."

As he spoke, Iz drew in mid-air, branding a Magic Array onto Obades’s body.

"Obades, after you go in and assess the situation, you can use the Magic I’ve left on you to break open an exit from within the Dungeon."

Obades nodded again.

Kumironi also added something to Obades, though Lu Cang couldn’t recognize what it was.

Once everything was ready, Obades walked in.

The group stood guard by the Teleportation Gate and waited.

Lu Luwei’s gaze drifted into the distance.

Lu Cang looked through Lu Luwei’s Perception, his vision crossing over layers of overlapping mountains and passing through the endlessly falling snow.

To the northwest, he saw an army fumbling its way forward through the heavy snow.

The War and Fire Moon had already passed.

But the war was far from over. Based on their uniforms, the army Lu Luwei was watching appeared to be from Lorren. Five hundred kilometers away from them was a brightly lit encampment.

It seemed they were preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Ruijia encampment.

The strongest in this Lorren army was a Level 4 Reincarnator.

The number of High Tier Reincarnators was indeed small, and even fewer were willing to join the military.

Meanwhile, the Ruijia military camp had a Level 5 Warrior presiding over it.

’If this army acts without scouting out the real situation, that Level 5 Warrior might deal them a fatal blow.’

A flicker of pity crossed Lu Cang’s mind.

’No matter what, this battle is sure to end in a river of blood.’

’While my group and I are adventuring in a Tier Six Dungeon, war is still breaking out in a distant land. In this world, it seems everyone has their own part to play.’

Lu Cang didn’t want to concern himself with that distant situation.

Although he was now one of the Lorren People, Lu Cang’s attitude toward war was actually the same as Iz’s... he just wanted to stay out of it.

It was a product of humanity’s greedy ambitions. Even if Lorren unified the entire Ruelun Continent, it would continue to expand to other continents and start more wars.

If Lorren didn’t do it, then Dongren, Sirelon, Ruijia, or someone else would.

Interfering in a war, or even in a single country’s policies, couldn’t truly change anything. If you don’t attack others, others will attack you, or they will simply expand into other territories.

So... it was all meaningless.

Obades had gone inside.

...

The group waited silently in the vast, snowy domain.

About five minutes later, Obades emerged from the passage, completely unharmed.

"Many... Demons... No... danger."

Chi Cheng hoisted his sword onto his shoulder. "Haha! That means we can go all out!"

After confirming with one another, the group followed behind Obades.

One by one, they entered.

Dim, evil, and deafeningly clamorous sounds swirled around them, and Lu Cang couldn’t help but frown.

It was a bizarre, phantasmagorical scene.

This place no longer had any connection to the Cave of Desperate Wails, but it was undeniably still an evil-type Dungeon.

It was filled with countless souls, suffering, and evil Demons.

WHOOSH—

Lu Cang saw a thick, rolling fog surging toward them from the distance.

Intuition told Lu Cang that the thick fog was not real fog, but a type of Demon...

To be swept up by this fog was to be swallowed into its body.

’Is this also a Submerged Land Level Demon?’

However, Lu Cang showed no sign of alarm.

He was, after all, surrounded by reliable teammates.

Divine Level Soul Dominator.

From the thick fog that held countless souls, Lu Cang drew out a massive number of them as if siphoning water!

"The Soul-Devouring Evil Mist."

’Lu Luwei actually knows its name?’

Lu Cang turned to look at Lu Luwei, but because of their height difference, his gaze landed on her proud, magnificent chest.

Only by raising his gaze could he see Lu Luwei’s face.

"Of course."

Lu Luwei’s tone held a hint of pride.

"I’m not just some idiot who only knows how to fight."

’Hey Lu Luwei, Brother Chi Cheng isn’t just an idiot who only knows how to fight. If you’re going to call people out by name, I’ll have to set the record straight for him.’

Lu Luwei continued, "It’s a type of Demon that was thought to only exist in theory."

"I never expected to actually see one today."

"Those biologists really know their stuff."

’In other words, they predicted this creature’s existence even though they’d never seen one?’

’That must mean that the birth of Demons follows a certain set of rules.’

Her brief words revealed a deeper layer of detail.

Chi Cheng, however, wasn’t paying attention to any of that. With a single swing of his sword, he scattered the thick, evil mist.

Chi Cheng broke into a sprint, charging into the vast fog.

Kumironi said, "All Demons have a Core."

"All living things rely on something to drive their life force!"

"Therefore, every living thing has a weak point."

"No matter what form this Demon takes, or how it manifests, it will always have a Core that it cannot allow to be destroyed."
