Cultivation Online novel Chapter 835

Chapter 835: Demons' Valley(2)

"Anyways, that's all I have to say on the matter. The higher ups will handle everything." Wan Yu said before focusing on the participants again.

Yan Hara and Tang Zheng looked at each other with perplexed expressions. Did Qian Chu really intentionally let the participants die? Was he really willing to sacrifice his own people to achieve his own goals? It was hard to swallow such a thought, especially since Qian Chu is admired by many people.

Meanwhile, inside the Demons' Valley, Yuan encountered his first demon when it suddenly showed up out of the blue and attacked him.

"F-Feng Feng… What cultivation is that demon? I cannot sense it, so it must be fairly high…" Yuan asked her after realizing this fact.

"It has a cultivation of peak Spirit Emperor." Feng Yuxiang immediately responded.

Yuan swallowed nervously after hearing this information.

Peak Spirit Emperor? That is an entire realm above Spirit King and almost a Spirit Sovereign! How on earth is he supposed to fight such a monster as a Spirit Lord?

'I have underestimated this examination...' Yuan sighed inwardly.

He knew it was going to be harder than the last examination, but he didn't expect such a massive jump in difficulty.

The last examination was so easy that it was basically free, so Yuan didn't think this examination would be so difficult even if they increased the difficulty several levels.

'Calm down... They may have a much higher cultivation than I'd anticipated, but they are still vulnerable to demon sealing aura. If my demon sealing aura is strong enough, I should be able to seal it...' Yuan tried to calm himself.

While he was doing that, the demon snickered, "How dare a mere Spirit Lord step foot inside the Demons' Valley? Courting death!"

"Young Master, do you need my help?" Feng Yuxiang asked him. "

No, I can handle this, and I'm not sure you're allowed to help me." He shook his head.

"I understand. Please be careful, Young Master."

Yuan nodded and summoned the Empyrean Overlord.

"You're a bold one, human. I will give you that." The demon showed an ugly smile on its face.

"You talk too much. You may have a higher cultivation, but you're just a low-ranking demon." Yuan suddenly said.

The demon was immediately enraged after hearing Yuan's provoking words. As a low-ranking demon, they have almost zero control over their emotions, especially anger, so they can be triggered easily.

"Die!" The demon pounced at Yuan the next moment.

Yuan did not retreat and confronted the demon head-on instead.

[Demon Sealing Strike!]

The Empyrean Overlord gushed with demon sealing aura as it slashed at the surprised demon.

After taking all the time he needed to fully charge his attack, Yuan released a devastating attack named Heavenly Splitting Sword Strike, completely erasing the demon and the terrain behind it almost instantly.

The destroyed terrain would return like nothing had happened after a couple of moments, but the demon never recovered.

The entire Demons' Valley seemingly shook for a brief second after the attack, causing the other two participants to look around with caution.

Meanwhile, the judges that had been spectating Yuan's first encounter were left speechless by what they had just witnessed.

"What kind of attack is that? He erased an entire mountain in a split second!" Yan Hara exclaimed in a shocked voice.

"His demon sealing aura increased so much in such a short time..." Wan Yu mumbled in a low voice filled with disbelief, his focus elsewhere.

"Unbelievable. I truly did not expect him to deal with the demon so effortlessly... It appears that my worries were unnecessary." Tang Zheng sighed.

Although the three of them were aware of Yuan's talent, they had no idea of his full potential, so it was quite shocking to see it for the first time.

After killing the demon, Yuan released a relieved sigh, "That went better than I anticipated. Looks like I don't need to be so worried about this examination, after all."

However, he was not completely stress-free just yet. Although he'd killed the demon, it was only a low-ranking demon, and he wasn't confident that he would be able to achieve the same results fighting an Elite or Superior Demon.

After spending a few minutes recovering his spiritual energy, Yuan continued to look for more demons to kill, and after wandering for a couple of minutes, another demon would show up out of nowhere to attack him.

Once again, it was a low-ranking demon with a peak Spirit Emperor cultivation, but Yuan didn't hesitate to attack it this time, quickly sealing it in just a few minutes..
