Devouring the entire Demon Territory was a long and arduous task. Not to mention the time it would take to devour the continents, even the remaining Demon Saints were not easy to deal with, so it was naturally impossible for them to not be disturbed if they wanted to devour their territory.
However, the changes in the Mysterious Boundary Bead now made Yang Kai wonder if there would be a day when he would be able to swallow an entire continent in one gulp! If that was the case, he wouldn’t care if the Demon Saints agreed or not, he would just take Gun Gun to their territory. With a single breath, a continent would be gone, and with another breath, another continent would be gone…
All of Bei Limo’s territories had been swallowed up, so the next place was naturally Yu Rumeng’s.
Starting from the Cloud Shadow Continent, Blue Plains, Phantom Continent, Flying Clouds… As always, the continents disappeared one after another on the Demon Territory’s map, strengthening the Mysterious Small World territories and laws.
In the Mysterious Small World, on the peak of a nameless mountain, inside a wooden house, Huo Lun was silently circulating his Mysterious Technique, the Demonic Qi in his body rolling and the thunder in his belly rumbling constantly. He had swallowed a Myriad Demon Pill and was currently refining it. The amount of energy stored inside the Myriad Demon Pill was enormous, and now that he was only a Low-Rank Demon King, it would take him several months to refine such a Myriad Demon Pill.
Originally, he wasn’t in the mood to cultivate. This world was extremely strange, and from time to time, cracks would appear on its surface and fragments of continents would appear, causing him to be on edge. Moreover, this world also had a kind of invisible binding force, as if an invisible shackle was binding him, making him feel very uncomfortable. He couldn’t use too much of his strength, and at most, he could only display a level that the laws of this world could withstand.
What was the point of cultivating in such a world? Even if one cultivated to the middle-rank Demon King or high-rank Demon King Realm, they could only treat themselves as Void Return Stage, or Void King Realm…
However, ever since he felt that this world was slowly changing, Huo Lun’s silent mood became bright again. Although the laws of this world weren’t very good yet, at the very least, it was still developing in a good direction. In addition, after listening to Yang Kai’s conversation with Chang Tian and Bei Limo and learning about Yang Kai’s intentions, Huo Lun’s thoughts about cultivating once again became active.
Now that his cultivation as a Low-Rank Demon King had not reached the peak, he naturally planned to continue cultivating until he felt a bottleneck. This way, once the laws of this world could give birth to a Mid-Rank Demon King, he could immediately break through!
Cultivators naturally yearned for a higher level of martial arts. This had nothing to do with the origins of the Human Race or Demon Race. Powerful strength had always been the goal for cultivators to climb to the top.
Just as he was eagerly refining the Myriad Demon Pill’s medicinal efficacy, Huo Lun suddenly frowned and showed a helpless expression.
Without a doubt, someone had arrived.
He was considered the first resident of a newly expanded territory in the Mysterious Small World. Originally, he was lonely, but after Yang Kai began devouring the various continents, this world began to become lively. Although his territory had been expanding, the Demon Race was also very curious about this new world. Many people began to explore this new world after confirming their safety.
Over the past few months, many groups of visitors had come to this nameless mountain, but most of them had only taken a brief stroll before leaving. Occasionally, a few of them would see Huo Lun settle down here, so they were naturally curious and chatted with him.
At first, Huo Lun was quite excited, relying on his advantage as the first resident of this world to communicate with the visitors, but as time passed, this kind of thing became a bit annoying, especially after he decided to continue cultivating and break through to the Mid-Rank Demon King, he set up a barrier around his wooden house to prevent others from approaching.
Now that someone had come and touched the barrier, he could naturally feel it.
However, Huo Lun didn’t plan on paying any attention to this matter. The Myriad Demon Pill was extremely precious, and although he had obtained more than a thousand of them, he had never had the habit of wasting them. If he were to stop now, although the Myriad Demon Pill’s efficacy wouldn’t be completely wasted, it would definitely be discounted.
Yang Kai ignored him, but the newcomer seemed to be quite interested in this place, and after walking around the perimeter of the wooden house for a while, it stopped.
Then…
The barrier was suddenly broken.
Huo Lun’s eyes twitched as he immediately flew into a rage. Pushing open the door, he shouted, “Which bastard…” At this point, he fell silent and stared straight ahead.
This was because in front of him was a pale woman who looked weak and delicate, standing in a daze. Beside her was a pattern slowly disappearing, a sign that the barrier had been broken.
Huo Lun was too embarrassed to continue cursing. This woman was so beautiful that the moment the two of them met, Huo Lun’s anger was immediately extinguished, especially when he saw the expression on her face, as if she was a child who had done something wrong. Huo Lun really couldn’t bring himself to curse. However, even if he didn’t curse, he was still quite angry in his heart. He had clearly set up a Restriction nearby, so anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see through its master’s intentions. What was wrong with this woman? Not only did she refuse to leave, she even managed to break through his Restriction in such a short time.
From this, it could be seen that the other party’s eyesight and cultivation were definitely higher than his, but Huo Lun wasn’t afraid of anything.
He had met several Demon Saints! These Demon Saints were all friendly to him, so who else in the Demon Territory could make him fear them? Moreover, in this strange world, because of the restrictions of the World Laws, everyone’s strength was at its peak. Basically, everyone was pulled to the same starting line. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would be stronger.
A look of disgust appeared on Huo Lun’s face as he asked, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you break this king Restriction?”
The woman’s pale face blushed slightly as she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I just wanted to see what this barrier was, but I accidentally broke it.”
The word ‘accidentally’ caused the veins on Huo Lun’s forehead to bulge. If it weren’t for the sincere look on this woman’s face when she spoke, he would have thought she was deliberately provoking him, mocking his lowly methods.
Staring straight at her to make sure she really had no intention of ridiculing him, Huo Lun’s face relaxed slightly and he asked in a soft voice, “Are you new?”
“What?” The woman tilted her head in confusion.
Huo Lun impatiently said, “I asked if you just came in from outside!” Talking to this woman was quite tiring. If it weren’t for her beauty, he wouldn’t have bothered with her. If he had the time, wouldn’t it be better to refine the Myriad Demon Pill’s medicinal efficacies?
“I have been here for half a month,” The woman suddenly realized.
“Hehe…” Huo Lun quickly assumed the posture of an old senior, “This world is different from the outside world you live in. I’m afraid you haven’t adapted to it after half a month, right? Let me tell you, when I first came here, it took me more than half a year to slowly adapt…” After a long period of nagging, the woman actually didn’t show any signs of impatience. Listening to his interesting words, she even asked a few questions.
This caused Huo Lun to have a favorable impression of her and he felt that this beautiful woman was just a bit muddle-headed and out of sorts.
Perhaps he also felt that he was being a bit too long-winded, so after imparting his experience in this world, Huo Lun stopped and asked, “Which continent are you from?”
The beautiful woman fell silent for a moment before whispering, “I’m from Cloud Shadow Continent.”
“Cloud Shadow Continent, I know, it’s the continent of Saint Yu Rumeng,” Huo Lun couldn’t help nodding his head, displaying his vast knowledge, mainly because he had just seen Saint Yu Rumeng last time, so when he heard the name Cloud Shadow Continent, he immediately remembered and asked, “Which race are you from?”
This time, the beautiful woman didn’t answer, only slowly shaking her head.
Huo Lun didn’t mind. If the other party didn’t want to say anything, he couldn’t force them. This was just a small matter.
“Excuse me, is this mountain yours?” The beautiful woman suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Huo Lun laughed loudly, “This place has a master, but it’s not me. I’m just a guest here, but the true master of this place is someone else, so the master…”
The woman stretched out her hand and pointed, stopping him, “I want to settle down over there, is that okay?”
Originally, Huo Lun wasn’t too happy about being interrupted, but when he looked in the direction she was pointing, Huo Lun’s eyes lit up, “You want to be my neighbor?”
The nameless mountain he occupied was originally not very big, but as the Mysterious Small World continued to swallowed the continents, the mountain range gradually grew in size. At this moment, there were a total of three mountains within a hundred kilometer radius, each of which was arranged in a triangular shape. In the middle of the mountain valley, there were some flowers and grass, as well as a clear lake. The scenery was quite average.
At this moment, the beautiful woman was referring to the other third peak.
Seeing Huo Lun’s reaction, the beautiful woman lowered her head and said, “If it’s not convenient, then forget it, I’ll look around again.”
Although the Mysterious Small World's territory was large, because of the reconstruction and integration during the devouring process, there weren’t many suitable places to live at the moment. After walking for half a month, she had finally found this place. If not for this, she wouldn’t have broken Huo Lun’s barrier.
Huo Lun laughed and said, “What’s so inconvenient about that? With such a beautiful girl like you as my neighbor, I can’t ask for anything more. Go live with me, you can choose any of the two peaks you like, or you can choose both.”
The woman smiled shyly, “I just want one, sorry for disturbing.”
Saying so, she turned around and left.
Huo Lun shouted from behind her, “This King is Huo Lun, what is your name?”
The woman paused for a moment before saying lightly, “Li Shiqing.”
Looking at her back as she left, Huo Lun stroked his chin and frowned, “Li Shiqing…” This name sounded good, but why did it feel a bit strange, as if it was a bit exotic? Shaking his head, he returned to his room and meditated to refine the Myriad Demon Pill’s medicinal efficacy.
Suddenly having a beautiful woman as a neighbor, Huo Lun was in a good mood and didn’t care much about his cultivation being disturbed. In any case, he had over a thousand Myriad Demon Pills, so wasting some of their medicinal efficacies wouldn’t be a problem.
