The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

In a certain place in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, Duan De scratched his head.

"How strange! We've already left the demon realm so far, we should be safe by now, so why does it feel like the danger is getting stronger?"

Duan De wrapped his tattered Taoist robe tighter around himself, looking completely bewildered.

Before going to the demon clan, he was wearing a silk Taoist robe embroidered with gold thread. The things in his hands, whether they were jade thumb rings that seemed to be just decorations or ordinary whisks, actually had wonderful uses and were spiritual weapons rarely seen in the outside world.

However, now...

Apart from his filthy Taoist robe and tattered shoes that revealed his toes, Duan De had nothing left on him.

"That shouldn't be the case. I left the Holy Body with the demon race, and that kid surnamed Su didn't leave either. Besides, I returned all the things I borrowed from the demon race to them... Logically speaking, I should have been in good fortune during this period and shouldn't have any crises."

Duan De pinched his chin and muttered to himself with a serious expression.

He even consulted a divination master for himself, but the divination showed that his fortune was very vague, with only some black symbols representing misfortune that could be vaguely seen.

This is completely unreasonable!

"Who is it...?"

Duan De muttered to himself, going to great lengths to perform a more elaborate and rigorous divination for himself, hoping to find out why he had this feeling.

……

The territory of the demon race.

After Su Zhe shouted, everyone around him immediately looked over, making him a little embarrassed, so he quickly moved to another spot.

Those demons who obtained the weapons had their eyes light up.

"Master Duan is a kind and benevolent man. He foresaw that my demon race would suffer a great calamity, so he willingly gave away the things he obtained from the Ji family's tomb to the demon race!"

"We absolutely cannot allow those beasts from the Ji family to return and ruin the Taoist priest's grave-digging expedition!"

A group of powerful demons shouted.

If only one or two powerful demons had said this, the Ji family wouldn't have thought much of it. But as things stand, these powerful demons seem to have truly received secret assistance.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the wide variety of spirit weapons they possess is enough to prove that they have a very deep foundation.

This is inconsistent with the current situation of the demon race in the Southern Region as reported by the Ji family.

"Duan De!"

A powerful member of the Ji family roared, his beard and hair bristling, his rage uncontrollable.

Some of the Ji family cultivators around were already wavering. They did not doubt the Ji family's victory or defeat; what they were worried about was the grave of their own ancestor!

"Slay the demons! Fight Duan De! Protect my Ji family ancestors!"

"kill!"

Suddenly, the Ji family's offensive intensified considerably.

Although Su Zhe is human, he is currently associating with the demon race, which makes him a primary target of the Ji family.

A cultivator from the Ji family appeared silently behind Su Zhe, his palm gathering black light, almost touching Su Zhe's neck.

If this attack were to land, Su Zhe, with his current cultivation level, would definitely not be able to withstand it.

However, Su Zhe was a cut above, his body twisting as if he had turned into a black shadow, and when he reappeared, he was already several feet away!

[Transcending Tribulation Heavenly Skill]!

He was, after all, a legitimate successor to the Great Emperor. Even if his cultivation level was inferior, how could he possibly be ambushed and killed by a mere peripheral disciple of the Ji family?

"Azure Emperor Slash!"

Su Zhe gave a soft shout and activated his skill!

This is the Azure Emperor Technique he has been learning recently. When paired with the Azure Jade Ring, its power is comparable to the attacks of cultivators in the Dao Palace Secret Realm!

Caught off guard, the Ji family cultivator was struck by the green light, and his body withered like a lotus flower.

[Defeat the Ji family cultivator, gain 10 experience points, obtain a fragment of the Void Scripture (1/100000), and obtain a Dao Palace magic weapon (awaiting identification)]

Su Zhe's eyes lit up.

Killing monsters yields rewards, that's perfectly reasonable!

Having understood this, Su Zhe looked at the Ji family cultivators covering the mountains and plains, not as if he were looking at opponents, but as if he were looking at one experience point after another.

Unfortunately, due to his limited cultivation level, Su Zhe didn't manage to kill many Ji family cultivators before he was targeted by a middle-aged Ji family member who had been immersed in the Dao Palace Secret Realm for a long time.

The opponent's opening move was a simplified version of the Void Handprint, a pale black palm print condensing in the void, appearing very illusory, yet it stirred up a strong wind as it drifted towards Su Zhe. This caused many demon cultivators nearby to look serious.

"You beast! You are human, yet you associate with demons! Die!"

The Ji family cultivators roared, and the raging wind and the giant handprint in the void almost merged together.

Some demons recognized Su Zhe and stepped forward to shield him from the attack. The nearby demons continued to attack, and their demonic power surged, almost obliterating the giant handprint in the void.

"You all leave!"

Su Zhe shouted, his voice excited.

Stop stealing kills!

This guy's status is definitely far superior to those few Ji family cultivators. If we can kill him, we will definitely gain great benefits!

"Young Master Su! You must leave! Don't worry about us!"

Lang Nailiang suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Su Zhe, taking half of the void handprint for Su Zhe.

In an instant, Lang Nailiang was sent flying backward, half of his body remaining in place before turning into a blood mist.

"Dude, you... as long as you survive, I promise I won't update the Winter Snow route save file!"

Su Zhe was moved.

What kind of "pure love brother" is supporting those two scoundrels?!

Fortunately, the demon race is very resilient. Although half of Lang Nailiang's body was broken, he did not actually perish. Instead, he was quickly protected by the demons around him.

"You killed my brother! I will never forgive you!"

Su Zhe roared and charged towards the middle-aged man from the Ji family!

The two quickly engaged in battle. Although Su Zhe's cultivation level was lower than his opponent's, the spiritual weapons in his hands had an additional effect, and for a time he was able to fight back and forth with his opponent.

The middle-aged cultivator from the Ji family, although of a higher cultivation level, had been fighting for a long time and now felt somewhat powerless against this young man who was only at the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

"Void Great Handprint!"

The middle-aged man from the Ji family raised his hand again. Even though his face turned deathly pale, he still smiled with confidence as he looked at the faint black illusory handprint that was gathering in the air.

However, to his surprise, the boy in front of him did not back down after seeing this scene. Instead, he revealed a crazy smile and rushed over.

In an instant, the boy collided with the giant handprint in the void, and the violent shockwave even drew the attention of the demons in the distance.

"No...Young Master Su!"

Yan Ruyu's expression changed drastically.

She had just turned her head when she saw Su Zhe and that Ji family cultivator perish together.

"Your Highness, please don't worry, that boy can be resurrected..."

The demon high priest quickly sent a telepathic message, fearing that Yan Ruyu might do something irrational.

Yan Ruyu, her face filled with grief and despair, grabbed the Demon Emperor's weapon and charged towards Ji Haoyue.

"I know, I'll distract Ji Haoyue, you lead the rest of the tribe and leave quickly!"

Yan Ruyu transmitted her voice, which remained calm, a stark contrast to the madness on her face.

On the other side, after returning to the resurrection space, Su Zhe did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to resurrect in a different place!

At a gravesite, Duan De looked up at the sky, deep in thought.

What went wrong?

Why is this feeling of unease getting stronger?

Just as Duan De was wondering, a ball of light suddenly appeared silently in front of him.
