Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

After a long silence, it opened its mouth softly: ”If I tell you the truth, can you really spare us?”

”Of course.”

Lu Wenwu said with a smile.

”I have no interest in chasing down a bunch of weaklings, but I’m paid to do the job, to settle the matter in Celestial Star City. The simplest way is to kill you all. If you’d prefer to solve it differently, I have no objections.”

After another moment of silence, the Red Tiger Demon King let out a long sigh and spoke: ”Hidden under Celestial Star City is the inheritance ruins of the Celestial Fire Demon God, which requires a massacre to open. I have some bloodline from the Celestial Fire Demon King, so I sensed it. I led the demon beasts to attack the city to obtain the Celestial Fire Demon God’s inheritance.”

Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow: ”Celestial Fire Demon God? What is that?”

”You don’t know?” The Red Tiger Demon King was surprised, ”That’s the Celestial Fire Demon God!”

”Should I know? Is he famous?” Lu Wenwu asked in surprise.

”...In theory, he should be quite famous.” The Red Tiger Demon King’s expression was complex, ”After all, he was one of the few demon gods that had a good relationship with the Human Race. I thought his name would be widely known.”

Lu Wenwu casually retorted: ”You’re thinking too much. There’s no dedicated history class when human cultivators are young. Aside from those who like reading miscellaneous books, who would know about a demon god who died many years ago and has no direct impact on them?”

”...”

The Red Tiger Demon King was rendered speechless.

Thinking carefully, what Lu Wenwu said seemed reasonable.

The Celestial Fire Demon God had indeed been dead for many years.

If not for being in regions controlled by the Immortal Dao Alliance and knowing some past events, as well as having some bloodline of the Celestial Fire Demon God carrying part of the inheritance information, he wouldn’t know what kind of demon this was.

As for human cultivators...

They learn some cultural classes, just enough not to be illiterate.

It’s not like they completely ignore other subjects.

Array Cultivators need to learn mathematics, Alchemy Cultivators need to learn chemistry and biology, Artifact Cultivators need to learn physics and materials science, metallurgy.

But...who would waste time cultivating to learn history?

”Alright, whether the Celestial Fire Demon God is famous or not isn’t important. What’s important is, how do we open these ruins?” Lu Wenwu glanced at the ground below, finding no clues.

”A sufficient massacre is required.” The Red Tiger Demon King said truthfully, ”I don’t know anything else, the inheritance information only has this sentence, which I discovered after coming here.”

”Oh, understood, then let’s get started.” Lu Wenwu laughed, ”Hurry up, don’t keep me waiting.”

”Start? Start what?” The Red Tiger Demon King was stunned, ”Do you mean to start... slaughtering the city?”

Lu Wenwu immediately reached out and slapped the Red Tiger Demon King, making him stagger, with his head buzzing.

”Dream on, go and slaughter that beast tide for me. Didn’t you say slaughter is enough? Hurry up.”

”Slaughter... the beast tide!”

The Red Tiger Demon King’s eyes turned red again, almost choking, his face flushed as he blurted out.

”Didn’t you say you’d spare us! How can you break your promise!”

”Don’t make trouble, I said I’d spare you and your wolf brother, not all demon beasts.” Lu Wenwu maintained his smiling expression, ”If you don’t want to do it, just say so, I can send you all to reunite in my pretty little flag for free.”

The Red Tiger Demon King’s expression turned sour, glaring at Lu Wenwu while breathing heavily, feeling a wave of sadness.

That smile was simply demonic!

Colder than the Profound Ice Cave in the Extreme South!

More evil than the most sinister Demon Cultivator!

The Red Tiger Demon King’s face constantly changed, feeling a mix of grief and indignation.

After almost half a minute of silence, the Red Tiger Demon King suddenly let out a shrill roar, diving towards the beast tide below, circling Celestial Star City to clear the area.

Raging flames surged, the blood-red fire frantically devouring the lives of demon beasts.

One demon beast after another fell like harvested wheat, yet they continued to charge forward.

The frenzied beast tide didn’t care whether the slaughterer was their old leader, only knowing they must break into the city!

They just had to reach... that place!

Under such a fervent assault, even the Demon King’s aura had a diminished effect.

These low-tier demon beasts could even disregard their instinctual fear, not obeying the Demon King’s commands.

A clash between a Late-stage Nascent Soul Demon King and a beast tide, especially one he led, wasn’t something commonly seen.

We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first!

Calling it a clash might not be entirely accurate.

Because the beast tide hardly made a move against the Red Tiger Demon King.

To be precise, it was the Red Tiger Demon King slaughtering his own assembled troops single-handedly.

Cultivators and Martial Artists who had been fighting to the death against demon beasts were all stunned, staring blankly at the scene, unsure whether to continue with their magical treasures.

The Red Tiger Demon King almost single-handedly halted the demon beasts’ assault on the city.

Lu Wenwu hadn’t demanded him to do so.

But out of fear, the Red Tiger Demon King exerted a bit of his own initiative.

Thus, the cultivators and martial artists defending the city were all bewildered.

What is this?

Why did the demon beasts suddenly have internal strife?

In such a fierce battle, no one had the thought to observe the happenings in the higher-level battlefield.

Now, with a small chance to catch their breath and recover a life from the Ghost Gate, they sat on the crumbling low walls, looking up, realizing the five Nascent Soul powerhouses had disappeared except for the Red Tiger Demon King.

Only a stranger hovered there with a smile, holding a seemingly cute little dog.

The bewildered cultivators and martial artists exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

It seems we’ve... been saved?

We don’t have to die!?

”Master, the Yellow Springs Ascendant and a puppet are hidden in Celestial Star City, woof! Aren’t you going to catch them?” Mao Mao asked, sticking his tongue out and tilting his head.

Lu Wenwu patted its dog head, smiling: ”The Early-stage Nascent Soul Little Karami, go take care of it for me, bring back the Nascent Soul, I’m waiting for the old fellow’s delivery.”

”Woof!”

Mao Mao barked, leaping from Lu Wenwu’s arms, riding on a seven-colored auspicious cloud, rushed towards a certain spot in the city.

During its descent, its body grew larger and larger, its aura increasingly powerful.

In the end, Mao Mao transformed into a huge black-golden canine several meters long.

Standing proudly on the auspicious cloud, its paws and tail swayed with the eerie Fire of Huodou, appearing majestic and impressive.

The black nose twitched twice, Mao Mao instantly locked onto its target’s location.

With a push of its paws, its immense body burst forth with inexplicable agility, passing in an instant.

In the distance, inside a certain house.

A pale-faced young man, as if terminally ill, abruptly opened his eyes, sitting up on the bed, gasping heavily.

He looked at his own pale, emaciated hands, glanced around the room, revealing a bitter smile with lingering fear.

”The split soul revival method... actually worked...”

”A sudden desire for concealment truly saved my life, but such a good method can’t be used again.”

”Just a pity for my cultivation and years of accumulation, alas...”

After adapting to this body, he looked at the meager assets in his storage bag, speechless.

He had accumulated thousands of years’ worth, and now it’s all gone.

If the Red Tiger Demon King were here, he’d be shocked.

This pale-faced young man was none other than the Yellow Springs Ascendant!

Long ago, he used the Soul Splitting Technique to divide half his soul to control this Early-stage Nascent Soul ”puppet.”

Though called a puppet, it was actually an incarnation, also Yellow Springs Ascendant’s biggest secret.

Revival in this World wasn’t an intangible legend, but still extremely rare.

An undamaged revival method would make even Divinity Transformation True Venerables covet it.

Who wouldn’t want multiple lives!
