This time, Wen Ping returns not just to gather more demon pills, but also to see what exactly killed him in an instant last time.

Of course.

The main objective is still to collect demon pills.

This time Wen Ping did not use sword control, because after reaching Earth Unrestricted, there's no need for sword control.

Wen Ping moves slowly while flying into the Final Forbidden Area. He can no longer see the edge of the area, nor can his spiritual power detect any demon pills, so he has to go deeper.

It is likely that the Wood Dragon has already scavenged them.

Fortunately, Wen Ping's current range of spiritual power is vast, so after flying for a short while he sensed the aura of a demon pill. Immediately, he flew toward it and successfully found a decent quality demon pill.

After continuing deeper, he discovered a large number of demon pills under a riverbed dried up by countless years. However, the quality of these demon pills is not very high; occasionally, one good pill can be found.

Though the quality of these demon pills isn't high, they have the advantage of quantity. Every 30 pills are sufficient to create a Demon King comparable to the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression. Paired with a Mirror-Breaking Pill, one could become a Demon God within minutes.

After half an hour of collection from the riverbed, at least 300 pills were gathered, enough to create 10 Demon Kings comparable to the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression.

"There are still 9 high-level Mirror-Breaking Pills left, which, without surprises, would be enough to create seven or even eight Demon Gods." Wen Ping conservatively estimated, but did not feel joy because currently having more ordinary power Demon Gods in the Immortal Sect isn't particularly useful.

After leaving and turning the riverbed upside down, Wen Ping once again flew toward the next location of a demon pill.

It's just ten miles away!

When Wen Ping arrived, he could see from afar the massive demon beast skeleton lying on the plain.

The first impression it gave Wen Ping was its size.

The exposed skeleton spans a thousand zhàng in length, resembling an extended mountain range. As the skull is missing, Wen Ping could not determine if it was a snake-like demon beast or something else.

However, one thing is certain: it must have been extremely powerful in life because its demon pill is buried a hundred zhàng underground, yet its aura is extraordinarily strong. This is the strongest demon aura Wen Ping has encountered since entering the Final Forbidden Area.

It can be said that the demon aura emitted from the three or four hundred demon pills he has collected so far is not even one percent of this demon pill's aura. As Wen Ping dug into the ground, the demon aura became more pronounced. It gave Wen Ping a unique feeling, as if standing before a Celestial Unrestricted expert.

Because a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted's feeling was not that intense, only one-tenth of this demon aura.

"This demon beast has been dead for countless years, yet the demon pill left behind still harbors such terrifying demon power, it seems that this demon was not simple in life." Wen Ping continued digging down and finally reached the deeply buried demon pill—standing more than a person tall!

Moreover, this demon pill was not of a common color, but crimson-gold, unlike any of the demon pills Wen Ping had seen before.

Wen Ping hurriedly asked, "System, why is this demon pill crimson-gold?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Demon Immortal Dao, a thunder tribulation every 300 years, can become a Demon Immortal in a thousand years. This is a Demon Immortal's demon pill."

"Demon Immortal?"

"Mountain Suppression is for Demon Kings, Earth Unrestricted is for Demon Gods, Celestial Unrestricted is for Demon Ancestors, above Celestial Unrestricted is Demon Immortal! Although this Demon Immortal has been dead for countless years, the demon pill still retains at least five to six hundred years of cultivation. If a demon can completely refine it, they can step directly to the threshold of Demon Ancestor."

"Five to six hundred years of cultivation..." Wen Ping was quite shocked, suppressing the urge to start calculating.

If given to Wood Dragon or Huaikong, once refined, wouldn't they immediately become Demon Ancestors?

"The host is correct, but this crimson-gold demon pill is not easy to refine, as it still contains the will of the Demon Immortal. Refining it isn't something that can be accomplished quickly."

"How long would it take?"

"It completely depends on the refiner's capability, as fast as half a year, as long as several decades. The system suggests giving it to Huaikong, as Huaikong, being of Taotie's bloodline, has the refining ability of the strongest existence in this world. At most, within half a year, Huaikong can be reborn, achieving Demon Ancestor, possibly even standing at the threshold of Demon Immortal."

"No negative side effects, right?"

"There are! Because the demon pill contains the will of the Demon Immortal, during the arrival of a thunder tribulation, the tribulation will sense Huaikong as a Demon Immortal. Even if it's a 600-year thunder tribulation, it will fall as a Demon Immortal Thunder Tribulation! When the real 900-year Demon Immortal Thunder Tribulation arrives, it will be even more terrifying. However, even if Huaikong fails to endure the tribulation, it doesn't matter, as it can provide the host with aid during this period, with power nearing the limit of Demon Ancestor, allowing the host to rest easy in the near future."

"Does Wood Dragon have hope of withstanding the tribulation?" Wen Ping is not a shortsighted person; if Huaikong truly fails the tribulation and dies, it would be a tremendous loss for him.

The emergence of a helper with power nearing the limit of Demon Ancestor in the short term is not something Wen Ping desires.

Because he can always go to the Undead Hell to look.

If luck is favorable, he might find a God of the Dead with Celestial Unrestricted power?

The system responded: "Wood Dragon is of the Dragon Race, and with the strength of the dragon body from the Dragon Race, the odds of surviving the tribulation are low, but there is still hope."

"Then let him see it when the time comes; if he's willing to take the risk, give it to him. If he's not willing, let's keep the demon pill; later on, if we encounter a demon with physical power sufficient to withstand the Demon Immortal Thunder Tribulation, we'll give it to him." Wen Ping glanced at the massive crimson-gold demon pill and then stored it into the Storage Ring.
