Yang Yan looked at the calm Blood Pool and asked disdainfully:

"How terrifying?"

To him, no matter how terrifying, they were still demons, meaningless.

"Those demons just now were merely automatically spawned by the Blood Pool, logically, I should personally control them."

The voice explained.

"So what?"

Yang Yan asked irritably.

The hidden person seemed amused by Yang Yan's words.

For a moment, the entire enclosed space was filled with his laughter.

"Kid, I can tell your current power level, mid-stage Emperor Realm, already at the sixth stage!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Just one step away from reaching high-stage! But to me, that's nothing!"

"I can manipulate this Blood Pool to fabricate a Pseudo-God Realm powerhouse, do you believe me?"

Yang Yan smiled casually and lightly uttered two words:

"I believe."

The voice laughed discontentedly:

"But I think you still don't believe! If it weren't for the fact that once this thing is created, it must be shattered to dissipate, I would definitely let you witness it, kid."

As for the Pseudo-God Realm stuff, Yang Yan didn't care at all.

He was just calculating in his heart what purpose this guy had for hiding and chatting about pointless things with him?

"Just speak directly if you have anything to say, I'm in a hurry."

Yang Yan asked coldly.

The other party countered with a question instead:

"Do you know why the Ancient Demon Race fell to its current state?"

Yang Yan puckered his mouth:

"Wasn't it wiped out by Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang leading their people?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Yan's statement provoked the other into angry fury.

He actually exploded into curses:

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

Yang Yan seemed to feel like the other was right in front of him, spitting mouthfuls of saliva.

"You're infuriating me! I'm not going to waste breath with you, kid, this is the Trial Demon Cave!"

Yang Yan's lips curled into a sly victorious smile:

"Why didn't you just get to the point sooner?"

Zi Xu Old Demon explained:

"This is the Demon Race's top-tier Demon Cave, burying one hundred Demon Kings, seventeen Demon Emperors! Three Demon Emperors!"

"What Yan and Huang are you talking about? Those two human supremes? Ridiculous! Truly ridiculous!"

"Do you know that every Demon Emperor has Divine Realm strength?"

"Every Demon Emperor is Half-Step Divine Realm! All have the hope to step into Divine Realm!"

Now it was Yang Yan's turn to feel incredulous.

"How is that possible?"

Yang Yan didn't want to let the other feel proud, intentionally showing disdain:

"If that's the case, the Demon Race would've unified the whole world long ago?"

Zi Xu Old Demon suddenly burst into laughter:

"Haha! You ignorant kid, let me truthfully tell you!"

"All masters above Half-Step Divine Realm can only stay in this small space for a maximum of three months!"

"After three months, they will be expelled, directly to the outer realms!"

"Want to return after that? Sure, let the outer realm Demon King bring back the corpse!!!"

Yang Yan furrowed his brows, and his heart sank:

"Old man, I'm not part of your Demon Race, you'd better lower your voice!"

Though Yang Yan received explosive news, he still acted nonchalant on the surface.

Zi Xu Old Demon seemed to compromise, after a silence, he said:

"I don't know why you avoided the first stage's reward?"

"This Bone-penetrating Demon Wind contains pure energy that can transform your body, making you a qualified Demon Race... no, a superior Demon Race!"

Yang Yan grinned:

"I don't want to become something that's neither human nor ghost."

His reply once again enraged Zi Xu Old Demon, who immediately let out weird cries.

At that moment, Yang Yan suddenly turned around, tightening his grip on Star Night.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and an evil smile appeared.

"Zi Xu Old Demon, you finally decided to show yourself."

In front of Yang Yan stood a very ordinary old man.

Besides having deeply dense wrinkles making him look very elderly, there was almost no other anomaly.

But when the old man raised his head, Yang Yan was shocked.

Two deeply sunken black eye sockets, a huge scar from the neck slanting all the way to the edge of his forehead.

He smiled brightly at Yang Yan, slowly saying:

"Originally, the kid who came in had pretty good talent, but wasn't as good as you, so he only passed two stages."

"I didn't let him into the final stage. The facts prove my judgment was correct."

"The previous kid?"

Yang Yan's pupils imperceptibly shrunk:

"Are you talking about Ao Tian? How is he? And, the woman who entered together with me, how is she?"

Zi Xu Old Demon frowned slightly:

"Ao Tian? I don't know his name. However, I did hear the name frequently mentioned by him, someone called Moonlight, which should be you, right?"

The old man finished speaking, looking at Yang Yan with a half-smile.

"How is he?"

Yang Yan's gaze turned cold, and his tone became rude.

"He's fine, I have already sent him out."

Zi Xu Old Demon didn't mind, lightly chuckling:

"Regarding that woman, let me check, oh…hmm, she's struggling at the tenth Blood Pool!"

While speaking, he waved his right hand, and a virtual scene unfolded above Yang Yan's head.

It showed Gongsun Ruyan fiercely battling in front of a Blood Pool.

It was evident she was almost at the point of exhaustion.

"So, have you thought it through?"

Zi Xu Old Demon suddenly asked.

"Thought what? Send her out!"

Yang Yan asked gravely.

Unexpectedly, Zi Xu Old Demon thought nothing of it and directly nodded:

"Fine!"

Without any further actions visible, Gongsun Ruyan was immediately expelled, her figure vanishing from the illusion.

"She has already reunited with your friends outside."

Zi Xu Old Demon, with a wave of his hand, dispelled the illusion, speaking to Yang Yan with a smile:

"Now, we should talk about your matters."

Yang Yan raised an eyebrow, and spoke gravely:

"What matters involve me?"

"Originally, there was one final stage in this Demon Cave, but I don't think it's necessary."

"The final stage's reward is to become the owner of this Demon Cave and obtain…this!"

This was an entirely black, neither metal nor wood Token, engraved with the words Demon Emperor.

"Demon Emperor…humph! I don't need it. If I want, I will become my own emperor and rule the world."

Yang Yan spoke disdainfully.

"You!"

Zi Xu Old Demon was momentarily aghast, looking at him incredulously.

He had been waiting in the Trial Demon Cave for countless ages, and finally found the perfect candidate in his eyes.

Only to be told by the person that they had no interest in his offer, possessing even greater ambitions!

It's easy to imagine Zi Xu Old Demon's current feelings.

"This is Pure Demon Yin Wind! You fool!"

Zi Xu Old Demon said disdainfully while his right hand turned into a palm, pulling the Yin Wind Yang Yan encountered in the first stage towards himself.
