I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats

But ultimately, entering the territory of the Demon Clan, therefore, we must slow down somewhat to remain more hidden.

The Imperial City of the Da Li Dynasty is extremely far from the Western Regions frontier, a full five thousand kilometers.

They set out at ten thirty in the morning, and now it's five thirty in the afternoon, taking a total of seven hours.

Calculating it, the speed of the flying shuttle reached seven hundred kilometers per hour.

This speed is nothing special compared to an airplane in the real world.

However, Mu Rufeng knew that they likely did not exert full force, nor did they traverse space, otherwise the speed would be much faster.

Mu Rufeng guessed that they feared excessive energy consumption, and then encountering danger in the Western Regions.

Another hour passed.

The sky had completely darkened.

The flying shuttle slowly landed in a dense forest.

When the crowd disembarked from the shuttle, they saw it quickly shrink and then fly into the palm of the Seventh Ancestor, who stored it in the storage ring.

As Mu Rufeng stepped off the shuttle, he felt an uncomfortable sensation.

The surrounding air lacked Spiritual Energy and was instead filled with Demon Qi.

His body rejected the Demon Qi, lacking Spiritual Power to absorb and replenish.

Thus, cultivators or martial artists not from the Demon Clan are at a severe disadvantage in battles against the Demon Clan in the Western Regions, relying only on brought elixirs to restore Qi Blood Power or Spiritual Power.

In contrast, the Demon Clan can absorb the surrounding Demon Qi to replenish their energy. Most importantly, if the Demon Clan travels to other states, they can also absorb Spiritual Power.

Though not as quickly as absorbing demonic power, the difference isn't significant.

Comparatively, the Demon Clan holds significant advantages.

"This is the territory of the Demon Clan, filled with Demon Qi. Circulate your Qi Blood Power to protect yourself and avoid absorbing demonic power to remain unaffected," the Seventh Ancestor said, seemingly noticing Mu Rufeng's status.

Mu Rufeng tried it, and indeed, the uncomfortable feeling vanished.

"Let's go, it is ten miles to the crevice entrance of the Netherworld from here. We will walk," the Seventh Ancestor said.

"Yes, Seventh Ancestor," Mu Rufeng replied.

Though they said walk, they could cross dozens to hundreds of meters in a single step.

Mu Rufeng observed the surrounding trees and noticed human face outlines on the trunks, extremely eerie.

"Those are Demon Trees. Near the crevice entrance is a demon forest spanning dozens of kilometers, transplanted here by the Jiao Clan, to guard the crevice entrance."

"They are incredibly sensitive to Qi Blood Power, especially the scent from humans, but there is no need to worry as we've concealed our auras, preventing them from detecting us," Lu Ancestor said.

Being carried by Lu Ancestor, Mu Rufeng nodded.

As they ventured further, Mu Rufeng realized that the demon trees' trunks became thicker, taller, and more lush.

Evidently, the closer to the crevice entrance, the stronger the Demon Trees grew.

Careful not to reveal their presence, they moved cautiously, occasionally circling around.

It took a full half-hour to traverse the demon forest.

Ahead lay an open area, with pitch-black rock ground, the material indiscernible.

At the center was a massive crack, over a hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide, from which a large amount of black aura emanated.

Mu Rufeng felt it; this black aura was indeed Demon Qi.

"Old Ancestor, the Demon Qi within the Netherworld is so dense, hasn't the Jiao Clan occupied it?" Mu Rufeng asked.

"The Jiao Clan certainly wanted to, but it is said that this Demon Qi contains a toxin, and since we don't absorb Demon Qi, it's harmless to us."

"However, the demon clan cannot resist absorbing it inside, so they abandoned the idea of occupying the Netherworld."

"Did you see those demon forests outside? They serve not only to block outsiders but to purify the toxins within the Demon Qi."

"You mentioned the Netherworld Flower Poison in your body; perhaps that very toxin is the one within you," the Seventh Ancestor said.

"I see, in that case, when we fight against the Demon Clan, should we be guarding against them poisoning us?" Mu Rufeng frowned.

"Indeed, your poisoning serves as a reminder for us. However, such a toxin is likely difficult to refine, or else many would have already died.... Hm?"

"Wait, Feng'er, what symptoms did you have after being poisoned?" the Seventh Ancestor suddenly asked.

"Symptoms? I didn't feel much, some occasional difficulty controlling Qi Blood Power, but it quickly recovers," Mu Rufeng replied.

"Uncle, could it be that Wu Qiong was also poisoned with Netherworld Flower Poison, leading him to lose control of his Qi Blood Power and eventually drown?" the Seventh Ancestor suddenly asked.

The Sixth Ancestor fell silent at those words.

"It's possible!" the Sixth Ancestor said slowly, each word deliberate.

"Regardless, during this visit, we should bring back some Netherworld Cold Spring and Netherworld Flowers, and we also need to study this Netherworld Flower Poison thoroughly," Lu Ancestor said.

"But we've never seen the Netherworld Flower, how will we gather them?" the Sixth Ancestor replied.

"The mark of the Netherworld Flower is on Feng'er's soul body's forehead; if I see it outside, I'll surely recognize it."
