Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1576 - 422: The Second Layer World, Bridge Usage (5.5k) (Part 2)

When he abandoned his disguise, all the clones would inevitably be severed from their connections and their ranks would be reclaimed.Then a large number of ordinary Heavenly Demons would appear, and at this point, a new Heavenly Devil King emerged.

Thus, there appeared the Heavenly Demons, the clones of the Heavenly Devil King, the Heavenly Devil King.

And ordinary Heavenly Demons could also split, giving birth to new Heavenly Demons.

So, tracing the origin of all Heavenly Demons, they actually all come from the Heavenly Devil King.

The Heavenly Devil King's suppression of ordinary Heavenly Demons is not just rank suppression, but also similar to bloodline suppression.

Yu Ziqing and Yang tested each other repeatedly, deducing that the Heavenly Devil Clan reproduces in a manner similar to mitosis.

Under normal circumstances, it might seem that every Heavenly Devil King has a chance to become the Heavenly Devil King.

But in reality, ordinary Heavenly Demons never have this qualification.

Unless an ordinary Heavenly Demon can devour a clone of the Heavenly Devil King that carries rank.

Under normal circumstances, this is completely impossible.

An ordinary Heavenly Demon has no chance under rank suppression and bloodline suppression, fighting would be useless.

Because the Heavenly Devil King would sever the connection at the moment he detects a problem with the clone.

The result would be a devouring between two ordinary Heavenly Demons, which serves no purpose.

If it weren't for Yu Ziqing, Freedom Heaven would never have the qualification to enter, the hierarchy would remain locked forever.

Indeed, ordinary Heavenly Demons like Freedom Heaven would never know of this cruelty.

That seemingly promising position of becoming Heavenly Devil King is actually just one person changing a disguise to continue sitting.

He dares to give all Heavenly Demons a completely impossible hope, to keep them hanging, without fearing any rebellion from them.

Yu Ziqing did not make these words too clear, and Freedom Heaven was already silent on the side.

Although Heavenly Demons are considered Devils, to invade cultivators, they must have a sufficient understanding of them.

Conversely, the cultivators' thinking and emotions inevitably influence the Heavenly Demons in return.

Freedom Heaven is considered the top performer among Heavenly Demons, naturally being ambitious and driven.

He feels suffocated at the thought that no matter how hard he tries, he will always be just an ordinary Heavenly Demon cannon fodder.

If he were a devil, he wouldn't feel like this, as their intellect is too lacking.

Yet Heavenly Demons at least have average intelligence, and with a lot of experience, they are even smarter than ordinary cultivators.

Yang glanced at Freedom Heaven, raised the temporary laboratory in his hand, and broke the silence with his voice.

"This shielding disguise is almost at its limit, after all, it is just a counterfeit laboratory.

Luckily, these days the Heavenly Devil King hasn't actively sensed anything.

If he actively reacted, he'd find something amiss."

Yu Ziqing nodded and asked Freedom Heaven.

"Now that you can sense the presence of the Heavenly Devil King, can you sense his position?"

"No, I can only confirm that he is currently in the Abyss, but relying on gathered intelligence, I can roughly sense some Heavenly Demons located at a distance."

"That's useless, if you capture another clone of the Heavenly Devil King, he'll immediately notice." Yang chimed in.

While they were discussing, Freedom Heaven suddenly looked toward the distance.

"My sensing of the Heavenly Devil King is rapidly fading."

"Hm? Did he flee?"

Freedom Heaven hesitated for a moment, flew out of the secret room formation, carefully sensed, and returned.

"The original Heavenly Devil King, or rather the one with the most rank, has fled."

"Did he go to the real world?" Yu Ziqing frowned.

"No, he went to a deeper layer of the Abyss."

"How far to the next clone of the Heavenly Devil King?"

"Not far, about two thousand miles."

The three immediately set out, easily extracting a hidden clone of the Heavenly Devil King from beneath a little demon nest.

Allowing Freedom Heaven to devour it, the progress bar indeed advanced further.

Yet the disguise imprint on the seven-colored gemstone in Yang's hand showed no response.

Yu Ziqing and Yang exchanged a look of disbelief.

"Well, apparently he didn't ignore sensing earlier, but after actively sensing, he chose to do nothing.

Letting some clones become targets, he fled quietly.

I was wondering how the Mountain Lord could continue staying in the depths of the Mountain Abyss.

He dared to descend to the lower layers only after realizing something was off and sensing danger.

If the Mountain Lord discovered him, at least he wouldn't die, something far better than falling into our hands.

He sure ran cleverly."

This time's devouring was done without any concealment, logically, the Heavenly Devil King should notice instantly, severing the connection, reclaiming a trace of rank.

But he chose to do nothing again; he simply fled.

Continuing to extract another clone of the Heavenly Devil King, there was still no change, Freedom Heaven devoured smoothly, and the progress bar increased slightly again.

Now it's confirmed, no need for further speculation.

Yang regretfully sighed.

Who would've thought things would develop like this, assisting Freedom Heaven to devour the Heavenly Devil King clones was Yu Ziqing's choice, he was just helping.

Originally, he hoped if the Heavenly Devil King discovered and severed the connection, the clone would become an ordinary Heavenly Demon.

That would allow him to keep it as experimental material, but unexpectedly everything went smoothly, even utilizing the power of the counterfeit laboratory completely.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Devil King was truly capable of enduring, silently fleeing upon sensing irregularity, even daring to use clones as scapegoats to confuse them.
