"We... seem unable to help, because we don't have the ability to enter this transmission channel.
Furthermore, if even this lord from the Ancestral Realm is not his match, such a terrifying enemy would certainly be beyond us as well."
Advisor Tiangu was in a state of panic and anxiety.
Hearing this, the Three Great Demon Kings and the other Ancient Demon Race high-ranking members grew even more anxious, yet could think of no solution.
"Just who is it!
To dare ambush a lord from the Ancestral Realm like this!"
Demon King Aoyue said through gnashing teeth.
"Could it be... the enemy is also from the Ancestral Realm?
Another lord from the Ancestral Realm?"
Demon King Whitebone suddenly speculated.
When the other Ancient Demon Race experts heard this, their hearts turned cold.
If another lord from the Ancestral Realm had come seeking vengeance, then a feud between two Ancestral Realm lords was indeed something they could not meddle in. Otherwise, it would bring immeasurable trouble!
Thus, the high-ranking members of the Ancient Demon Race could only wait anxiously outside.
At the same time, inside the spatial transmission channel, that demon soul grew increasingly weakened under the frenzied combined attacks of Ye Yunfei and the others.
At this point, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had riddled the demon soul with thousands of transparent holes, almost hollowing out half of it!
It could be said that the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's attacks inflicted lethal damage to this demon soul!
Of course, Ye Yunfei's Heavenly Soul Sword also exerted immense destructive power.
"You lowly, filthy creatures, you wretched bugs! I have marked you!
Just you wait! Daring to ambush my demon soul is a capital offense! I will find you in the future and stomp all you insects to death!"
The demon soul was consumed by overwhelming hatred. It imprinted the appearance and Soul Power auras of Ye Yunfei and his companions and, using an advanced Demon Race secret art, transmitted them back to his true body in the Demon Realm.
Finally, the demon soul no longer possessed any strength to resist.
"Huang Shang, you can devour him now."
Ye Yunfei said to Huang Shang.
"Alright!"
Huang Shang was extremely excited and immediately charged forward.
Finally, with Ye Yunfei's assistance, Huang Shang successfully devoured this demon soul, which now had very little power to resist, completely.
"Ach, a powerful expert from the Demon Realm, and that's all he amounted to?"
Hu Miao curled her lips and said.
"No.
The Demon Realm is a very high-level world; it contains some truly boundless old fiends whose power cannot be underestimated.
Even that demon soul just now, if he had known of our existence beforehand and faced us directly, we might not have been able to vanquish him."
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
"Is that so...
Then in the future when we encounter the Ancient Demon Race, we shouldn't be overconfident."
Hu Miao stuck out her delicate tongue and said.
"The branch of the Ancient Demon Race in the Profound Yellow Star Region is relatively insignificant.
It's when you go to the Demon Realm in the future that you need to be cautious."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Alright.
I've noted it."
Hu Miao said.
*Boom...*
At this moment, after devouring that demon soul, the aura radiating from Huang Shang's ghost body began to skyrocket.
"I need some time to digest this."
Huang Shang said.
He then entered the Phantom Tower to begin refining and absorbing the energy of that demon soul.
Although Huang Shang had previously devoured many soul bodies of the Ancient Demon Race, they were far incomparable to this demon soul!
This demon soul was a tremendous tonic for him!
At the same time, outside the spatial channel, in the square.
"Seems... there's no more sound?"
Advisor Tiangu, the Three Great Demon Kings, and the other Ancient Demon Race high-ranking members all appeared bewildered and apprehensive.
For quite a while now, no movements had been heard coming from within the transmission channel.
"Advisor Tiangu, what is the situation with that Ancestral Realm lord?"
Then, the gazes of all the Ancient Demon Race leaders fell upon Advisor Tiangu.
"We haven't obtained that Innate Treasure yet. If something has happened to that Ancestral Realm lord, doesn't that mean we have no chance of obtaining that Innate Treasure?"
An elder demon voiced his concern.
The other Ancient Demon Race high-ranking members trembled upon hearing this.
An Innate Treasure was far too significant for the Ancient Demon Race!
"Advisor Tiangu, immediately contact that Ancestral Realm lord! See what his condition is like!"
The Three Great Demon Kings urgently pressed.
"Alright.
I will try to contact that Ancestral Realm lord right now."
Advisor Tiangu said.
After speaking, Advisor Tiangu immediately prostrated himself before the ancient altar, murmuring incantations under his breath.
One after another, Demon Power laws radiated from his body, drifting into the spatial channel.
However, for a long time afterward, there was no response from within the spatial transmission channel.
"Well?
Advisor Tiangu, did you manage to contact that Ancestral Realm lord?"
After the better part of an hour, the Three Demon Kings cautiously inquired of Advisor Tiangu.
"That Ancestral Realm lord has not responded at all.
He seems to... no longer be there."
Advisor Tiangu shook his head and sighed.
"No longer be there?"
The Ancient Demon Race leaders surrounding him were all dumbstruck.
"Could it be... something has happened to that Ancestral Realm lord?"
One elder demon asked.
"Who knows.
I speculate there are two possibilities. First, that lord's Soul Clone projected from the Ancestral Realm encountered a powerful enemy and has already retreated back to the Demon Realm.
Second, that lord's projected Soul Clone... may already be lost."
Advisor Tiangu conjectured.
"Then... does that mean we no longer have a chance to obtain that Innate Treasure?"
The hearts of many Ancient Demon Race leaders sank heavily.
Advisor Tiangu could only shake his head and sigh again.
At the same time, within the spatial channel, inside the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged.
A Fiend Seal hovered quietly before him.
Alongside it were hundreds of space rings.
The Fiend Seal was the Innate Treasure that the demon soul had sent from the Demon Realm.
The hundreds of space rings were the gifts offered by the Ancient Demon Race high-ranking members to that demon soul.
Now, they all belonged to Ye Yunfei.
"This Innate Treasure is rather decent.
What a pity is that during its forging, too many Demon Power laws were fused into it, making it more suitable for use by the Demon Race.
For a human martial artist, even if one manages to refine and use it by force, its power would be significantly diminished."
Ye Yunfei studied the Fiend Seal for a while before shaking his head.
Next, Ye Yunfei directed his Soul Power to perceive the contents of those hundreds of space rings.
"This is a huge fortune!"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
What these hundreds of space rings contained were treasures accumulated over many years by the Ancient Demon Race—how could they be ordinary? Every single item was extremely precious.
"Hu Miao, there are quite a few demon-type treasures here, which suit you better."
Ye Yunfei said.
He then handed all the demon-type treasures found within those space rings to Hu Miao.
"Thank you, Master!
These treasures are very useful to me; they can allow my strength to progress further."
Hu Miao was very excited.
"That's good."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Hey, human boy! Don't forget about me!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, appearing at Ye Yunfei's side without notice, gleamed its eyes, staring fixedly at those space rings.
"Alright."
Ye Yunfei nodded and gave a portion of the demon-type treasures to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
This was because, like Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also belonged to the demon/beast category; absorbing and refining these demon-type treasures would benefit its strength enhancement.
