Chapter 115: A Broken World (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

  Demon God Temple

  An ancient underground demon temple!

  Ye Han never thought that following Xim and Zita, two silver warriors of the Rhinoceros tribe, he would discover such a terrifying secret! In the depths of the abandoned mine tunnels of the Divine Iron Mine, there was actually a huge first layer space hidden. And in this first layer space, there was actually an ancient relic left behind, belonging to the Di Di Yao Mo Temple.

  This is a very frightening thing.

  According to the understanding of this world, the underground world is not as simple as the literal meaning on the surface. The underground world and the ground world are equivalent to two completely different spaces in the same substance, just like one body with two sides.

  According to Ye Han's understanding, it was like two worlds with different latitudes but the same longitude, interdependent yet having independent structures. The place was dark, humid and rugged, more like a barbaric wilderness, forming various special underground environments that gave rise to many terrifying species adapted to harsh environments.

  Some were originally native to the underworld, such as various terrifying demons, cave dwellers and dwarves. Others were races that had migrated or been driven from the surface world for various reasons, like dark elves, lava dwarves and blood elves. However, through their interactions, they gradually formed a system distinct from the surface world.

  These two worlds were not originally on the same plane, but because they are in the same substance, they will frequently overlap, which is the terrible 'Molnár's Cave', and also form what is called the first layer of space deep underground. This is where the spatial barrier between the underground world and the surface world is the weakest, so every time such a region appears, large-scale battles will occur.

  The demons of the underground world hope to use this as a springboard to enter the surface world, where there is abundant sunlight and more abundant food, and control this vast region. The powerful forces that dominate this region will stop at nothing to wipe out an entire area, eliminating all possibilities, and this has been the case for thousands of years in the ongoing struggle for territory.

  Compared to the many gentle and weak races on the surface world, the demons of the underground world are more suited for battle. The harsh environment of the underground has made many of their races born fighting machines, with terrifying demonic auras that can rival those of human warriors who have cultivated their inner energy for years. Moreover, the higher the demon's rank, the more fearsome they become, and some even rule over a region in the underground world as kings. They are formidable existences capable of rivaling the strongest in the human realm.

  It was like the purple-eyed demon that Ye Han saw outside the Chaotic City, one of the upper-class races in the underground world. The strange spiritual power was enough to sweep a large area, except for the purple hair and the demon's purple eyes, it was almost indistinguishable from humans.

  These are all high-ranking ancient clans, the true rulers of the underground world.

  The demon temple, even in the underground world, is an extremely mysterious place of sacrifice, a place of ancient demon worship, and a forbidden area in one region. The worshippers are all very frightening existences. It contains many powers and legacies of underground demons, especially such a broken and ancient temple relic that has been passed down, which is a terrifying and ominous land, and also a huge treasure trove.

  Every time the ruins of such a demon temple were discovered in history, even the lowest-ranking temples would trigger a huge sensation, with terrible and bloody battles. People from all walks of life swarmed in, including demons from the underworld and many notorious thieves and bandits. Many people were also transformed by the blood of various demons released by the temple, becoming half-demons with demonic lineage.

  Some people were lost in their bloodline and became vassals of the demons in the underworld, no longer human. Others were even more terrifying, with all kinds of greed, violence, and murderous intent in their nature, they even assimilated the demonic bloodline, becoming stronger, and even formed a powerful force.

  In this sense, humans are actually more terrifying than underground demons to some extent.

  Apart from that, the Temple of Demon Gods also houses many powerful demon arts and weapons, as well as numerous treasures with peculiar effects... In a certain sense, the Temple of Demon Gods is the origin of civilization in the underground world, which is why various forces are vying for it.

  However, the demon temples are rare on the surface of the world and are basically remnants left before the Dark Destruction Era. Most of them are actually in the underground world. Occasionally, the demon temples found in the first layer of space are mostly the palaces of extremely powerful masters or their chosen tombs.

  Ye Han looked at the black, dilapidated temple, its grand and majestic atmosphere, probably a thousand-year-old temple relic. It's very likely that during the excavation in the iron ore area, they unexpectedly dug through to the passage, as for why this news didn't spread back to the tribe, it's very likely that all the miners who knew about this area had already died off. Just like the previous inspector, he was secretly dealt with by Tian Chang 'Ba Tu Mo'.

  As for why they did this, it can be roughly guessed from the conversation between Xim and Zita that Ye Han overheard earlier.

  This dilapidated millennium-old demon temple is likely still connected to the underground world in some way. And whether it's 'Dictator' Batumur or Zita and Sim, the two white silver-level rhino warriors, they have obviously all been tempted by the powerful forces of the underground demons. They are setting up a plan to summon what they call the "saint" of the underground world here.

  "Although I don't know what kind of saint that person is, someone who can be called a saint, even in the underground world, is probably an extremely terrifying giant!"

  Ye Han secretly thought to himself that fortunately, he had already sent the information to the tribe. As for what the higher-ups of the Kaitel Minotaur Tribe would do next, that was their business.

  Look around, and you can still faintly hear the voices of Sim and Zita. There are many lower-level demons and monsters in the surrounding area, some with black horns on their heads, others with dark scales and wings on their backs, or copper heads and iron bones, all emitting a strong demonic aura.

  There were over a dozen silver-ranked demons, all of whom seemed to be minor leaders, with an astonishing aura. The remaining tens of thousands of demons in the entire space, just the higher-ranking bronze demons that surpassed level 9, numbered in the hundreds.

  Xim and Zita, the two of them, were still directing those low-ranking demons, burying the divine iron blocks engraved with dense symbols around the temple, as if setting up some sort of formation. A large amount of underground demon crystals were drawn into it, and it was clear that these were all ordered and provided by that so-called "saint".

  And beside them, groups of demons emerged from a huge array that looked like a mirror, stirring up ripples in the water, and then they took a large amount of materials to continue consolidating and expanding this array, as if to extend the array to its limits.

  Such a boundary array, connecting the two layers of the world, underground and above ground, itself needs to bear great pressure. Lower-level demons can easily enter it, but the more powerful underground demons want to enter the surface world, when penetrating the two boundaries, they have to withstand the extremely terrible suppressive force from this world, the array collapses, even that powerful demon will suffer heavy damage from the boundary's power.

  So now this formation will be consolidated and expanded to the limit, without even allowing a single Golden-ranked Upper Demon to enter, all for the sake of making thorough preparations for the transmission of that so-called 'Holy Master', ensuring absolute safety.

  But even so, the power displayed by this corner of the iceberg is already astonishing, and no one could have imagined that in the underground of the Rhinoceros Tribe's iron ore zone, such a terrible force had been gathering without anyone noticing.

  It's hard to imagine the extent of the disaster that would be caused if they were to suddenly attack. Not to mention, the most mysterious 'Saint' has yet to appear!

  Ye Han took a deep breath, deciding to wait and see how things developed. In the face of such a massive force, even he might be in danger of falling. Without sufficient benefits, Ye Han would not take this risk.

  But he was also curious, what could make the so-called saint spend so much energy and still remember it, what was in this temple that attracted him?

  Just then, a humming sound was heard. The crystal-clear 'Spirit Relic' in Ye Han's brain domain, which had been quiet and still, suddenly shook violently, as if something terrifying had triggered its resonance. Then, in an instant, the entire first layer of space suddenly darkened, shaking violently, as if some overwhelming power had suddenly descended, enveloping all regions.

  With a loud crash, all the ground demons that were still standing just now, except for those dozen or so white silver level demons and over a hundred bronze level demons who were still desperately holding on, the rest of the low-level demons that didn't even enter the flow all knelt down, their heads pressed to the ground, not even daring to lift them up, as if they were the most humble slaves encountering the supreme emperor.

  "The Supreme Sacred Ruler... Twelve hours later, it reappeared..."

  Faintly audible from afar were Sim and Zita's voices, but they couldn't be made out clearly.

  Ye Han suddenly lifted his head, looking incredulous at the front, his eyes wide with shock.

  Thousands of kilometers ahead, the twisted space outside the ancient and dilapidated black demon temple seemed to be separated by tens of thousands of miles. A broken, six-sided, semi-transparent crystal slowly rose up. Suspended in mid-air above the black temple, the surface of the crystal was already damaged, as if it had gone through thousands of years of time, but a high and mighty aura still emanated from it, enveloping the entire first layer of space.

  "How is this possible? A broken, shattered little world..."

  Ye Han almost lost his voice in shouting.
