Chapter 768: Origin of the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm
Han Fei was shocked: not because of what this person said, but because of the fact that the guy who appeared in front of him was a human. He had no tail, no fangs, but looked exactly a human.
This man had a young face with well-defined features and a heroic aura, and there was something scholarly about him.
Besides, he wasn’t dressed in a battle suit but gauze.
Han Fei felt that he was like a person, a person that Han Fei had almost forgotten about. Someone from the Undersea City, Li Huang.
Han Fei squinted his eyes. “Are you a wisp of soul or a drop of blood?”
The man didn’t answer but asked, “Aren’t you surprised why I am not of the same race as you?”
Han Fei pretended to be stunned. “Human?”
The man smiled and said, “Aren’t you human?”
Han Fei’s mind was racing. “Do I look like a human?”
The man laughed and said, “Most of the strong among sea demons can transform into human beings, so of course, some humans can also transform into sea demons, can’t they?”
Han Fei raised his brows slightly. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
The man shook his head slightly. “You don’t have to hide. Although it is much harder for a human to transform into a sea demon than a sea demon transforms into a human, it is not impossible. If you were not a human, you wouldn’t have been able to enter the 72nd floor. Do you think it’s really because you’re gifted?”
Han Fei was about to speak when the man said, “I guess you don’t know that the so-called Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm does not refer to the 71 floors below, which are all meant to help people cultivate. But, it’s just because of this very level that the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm is called the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm.”
Han Fei took a breath. “So what’s so different about the 72nd floor?”
This person walked a few steps casually, looking Han Fei up and down. “Can you still change back? If you can’t, you aren’t supposed to be able to enter this floor. But now that you did it in the form of a sea demon, I’m guessing you can change back into a human, right?”
Han Fei was surprised. “Are you so sure that I am a human?”
The man nodded.
Han Fei asked again, “But if you are a human, why is the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm not built in the territory of humans? Instead, it is in the territory of sea demons?”
The man smiled faintly. “As things changed, the human domain was submerged, so was the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm. Originally, there was a lot of spiritual energy here without any demonic energy. But later, it was full of demonic energy, and became a cultivation place for sea demons.”
Han Fei was very calm, thinking that he had been cheated too many times!
For example, the people in the Snow God’s Temple looked very kind in the first place but turned out to be a bunch of liars.
What if he changed back into a human form and then the person said, “Look! So you really are a human...”
Then what would he do?
Seeing Han Fei thinking, this person said lightly, “When you came in, did you see the Demon Stele below?”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes.”
The man smiled gently and said, “There was no stele here at first. After I died, I erected this stele to protect the 72nd floor.”
Han Fei frowned. “What did you protect?”
This person put his hands behind his back, slightly raising his head. “This is originally called the 72-Floor Soul Realm, and it is a popular cultivation place for our human race. As long as you are talented enough to enter the 72nd floor, you can learn how to enter the Soul Sea... Um, do you know of the Soul Sea?”
Han Fei’s heart trembled: Soul Sea?
Damn, he was dying to know how to enter it!
The Soul Sea was a wonderful place! He once accidentally went into the Soul Sea, put his soul in Little Black’s body, and ate spiritual beasts to his heart’s content, and then his level was literally soaring. The Soul Sea was simply the best place for spiritual beasts to upgrade.
Han Fei lowered his head, his eyes full of horror. No one had ever mentioned the Soul Sea to him!
But today, on the top floor of the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm, Cultivation Canyon, Ten Thousand Demon Valley, someone mentioned it.
This person smiled lightly. “You know of it? It’s incredible. It turns out that after the Age of Doom, there is still someone who knows of the Soul Sea!”
Han Fei looked up. “I once heard of the Soul Sea in a secret realm called the Snow God’s Temple. I only know this name. It seems to be the place where spiritual beasts inhabit.”
This man looked at Han Fei’s eyes, and after a long time, he smiled. “This seems to be a good excuse. You’re so full of demonic energy, so you’ll have to change back into a human before you can enter the Soul Sea. You just need to remember, I don’t have to lie to you. Otherwise, why didn’t I even let a single sea demon come up to this floor all these years?”
Han Fei was silent, his mind was racing, but after thinking for a long time, he still failed to come up with a way to verify the identity of the other party.
Suddenly, the man said, “You don’t believe me. You want to verify if I am really a human being, right?”
Han Fei was astonished. How can he know what I’m thinking?
The man smiled. “Come with me.”
The two walked into a vast cave. Han Fei discovered that this floor was much larger than he had imagined. The 71 floors below, put together, were no larger than this one.
This man brought Han Fei to a mural and said with a light smile, “Look, this is the scene where the 72-floor Soul Realm was submerged. Look at this person, it’s me.”
Following this person’s finger, Han Fei saw a huge cylindrical city in the mural.
“The Ten Thousand Demon Tower?”
When Han Fei just said the name, his eyes were suddenly blurred. His consciousness seemed to be sucked into the mural. In the next second, he entered a realm of illusion.
This was a very obvious illusion. Han Fei, like a bystander, was standing high in the sky.
The Ten Thousand Demon Tower at that time was indeed built on a piece of land.
Swoosh!
Several figures flew past the sky, but unfortunately, there was no sound.
Not far away, about 20 kilometers or so, there was the coastline. And in the ocean, there is an extremely huge octopus, bigger than the sea demon he imagined, even bigger than the Cloud Whale. At this moment, it slapped its huge tentacles.
In the sky, there was a large palm phantom, slapping from the sky to the ground. Probably because of the speed being too fast, the big palm phantom suddenly burst into flames in mid-air and was bathed in fire.
In the cylindrical city not far away, thousands of people spread their wings, rushing to the coastline like big birds.
Han Fei was shocked. These people were are all Hidden Fishers!
These Hidden Fishers were like immortals, whizzing past Han Fei. Han Fei could even see that many armorists had opened their armor boxes, and streams of light were spraying out.
The Hidden Fishers rushed into the deep sea and disappeared.
Suddenly, Han Fei was attracted by a red glow overhead. He gaped in shock. Who was fighting in the sky? Crimson light illuminated the entire sky.
Then he saw a human being fighting vigorously with a demon of unknown species with a long tail and a body covered in scales. The two were punching each other. With each punch, the white clouds rolled and air billows burst up for thousands of meters.
When Han Fei saw that person’s face, he found that this person was just the man he was talking to!
This person was in a fierce battle with the demon, and his fist mark was as bright as a blazing sun, lighting up the sky. Just when the two of them fought all the way to the front of Han Fei, the man’s fist mark, like a fiery dragon, punched through hundreds of kilometers away and blasted the demon into the deep sea.
Following that, a huge octopus tentacle drew out from the sky, but the man grabbed it and pulled, dragging the gigantic octopus out of the sea.
Immediately afterwards, a thousand-meter-tall giant slammed it with a punch.
However, the octopus was too big for the giant. Just as he bombarded the octopus, starlight flickered from the sky.
How could Han Fei see clearly this level of attack? He only felt that in an instant, a harpoon collided with this person’s fist mark.
However, this man failed to parry this attack, his fist was crushed, and a big hole was punched in his chest.
This person finally stopped using his fists but drew his sword. The sword, like a rainbow, cut through the clouds and swept upward.
However, the harpoon was like a shining sun, shattering the shadow of the sword and stirring up huge waves to expel hundreds of kilometers.
Then a big hand that appeared out of blue held the harpoon, and the other hand dragged the person, and flew towards the Cultivation Canyon, namely where the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm was.
Then Han Fei saw a beautiful woman.
The woman was wearing a thin layer of gauze... No, that was not gauze but a gauze-like fin!
Han Fei immediately looked at the woman’s legs. Yes, she had legs and feet, which looked nice! She was barefoot, and her little feet were tender and fair.
Han Fei was surprised. “A Mermaid?”
Hum!
The picture suddenly disappeared. The 5D movie-like magnificent picture vanished, and Han Fei returned to reality.
Han Fei turned his head in astonishment and looked at the person. “You...”
The man nodded. “Yes, there is an imperial family among sea demons. They are real experts and even I can’t resist them.”
Han Fei took a deep breath. “Did the woman just now already turn into her human form?”
The man nodded. “Of course, and she turned into a pretty woman. To be exact, no royal family member of sea demons is ugly. Even the ordinary clam girls are all mesmerizingly beautiful.”
Han Fei took a deep breath. “Then where does she... Live?”
This person was taken aback. “No, it has been such a long time. How do I know where she lives? Young man, there are many good-looking girls in the world. Even if you find her, she is too old for you and probably has become a pile of bones.”
Han Fei rolled his eyes. “No, I mean where is this race? Now, sea demons only consist of Inferior Man-Fish, Half-Mermaids and Half-Mermen, and Red Demons like me... I’ve never seen a good-looking one of them.”
This person laughed. “Nonsense, they live on the other end of the Infinite Ocean! Of course, you can’t see them. With your current strength, it is impossible for you to cross the Infinite Ocean.”
“What strength do I need to cross the Infinite Ocean?”
“Huh?”
This person looked at Han Fei meaningfully. “You want to cross the Infinite Ocean? Don’t tell me you fell in love with a mermaid!”
Han Fei was about to explain when this man said, “Even if you do, it doesn’t matter. In history, there was a period of time when the human race and sea demons were living in harmony, trading and even intermarrying.”
Han Fei asked in shock, “What? Really?”
The man smiled and said, “Of course. In the cultivation world, race doesn’t make any difference. I once read in an ancient book that a man married an octopus wife. Tsk tsk... His wife had a lot of brains, so she changed one personality a day, so he could fall in love with a girl of a different personality every day... Gee, I wonder how he could stand it!”
Han Fei: “...”
The man said, “Okay, let’s cut the crap. My time is limited. Can you change back into your human form now?”
