The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 617 - 265: The Demon in the Seal Stone_1

"How absurd!"

Hearing the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King’s evaluation, Fly Moon had written disbelief all over its face.

It stared at Ye Hanjun, urging him incessantly:

"Human, go bring it out quickly!"

"I want to fight it! We will know who is stronger after witnessing it!"

"Senior, take me along."

Ye Hanjun might not care about Fly Moon’s desire to win, but he couldn’t ignore the Thunder Demon that fits his needs.

He immediately bowed down in respect and said confidently:

"Since such an opportunity has appeared, it should be won no matter what."

"Prepare yourself mentally. If you fail, don’t blame me."

As the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King sprinted forward on his hindfoot, he grabbed Ye Hanjun with one hand and Fly Moon with the other.

He directly crashed through the mirror door corresponding to the Demon Well, run for a long time while various sceneries were flickering, and it seemed like they came to a deep underworld.

"Go in."

"Only one creature can enter the Ancient Call Land each time."

"After finding the target you desire, it may not be particularly difficult to tear apart the seal."

"But once the target demon emerges, if you fail to suppress or convince it, do not hesitate to escape and prioritise your life."

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King spoke grandly and then took out a sphere of light, sitting on the ground.

He glided his finger on it and triggered some sort of mechanism; an empty, deserted stone hall gradually became clear.

"I will not help you. Whether you can seize opportunity depends solely on you."

"If you die here, it will be rather troublesome. I hope you are not too foolish so that I won’t need to worry too much."

"I will duly follow the senior’s advice."

Ye Hanjun answered seriously.

"This place is so ancient."

Fly Moon, with its eyes narrowed, murmured:

"Old fart, it seems like not too many years are left before the Clock of the Era rings."

"Shouldn’t you just wake up the remaining demons too so that I will have some company? At least it won’t be too boring."

"No way!"

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King refused outright:

"They are not creatures of this origin. Once their seals are broken, it is nearly impossible to seal them again."

"If you truly are bored, you’re allowed to leave the Demon Cave and explore the Abyss."

"But you must return to the territory of the Ye Clan before the Clock of the Era rings, otherwise I can’t guarantee your safety."

"Just say it earlier!"

Fly Moon grinned and laughed, dismissing its thought from before, and once again urged Ye Hanjun:

"Human, why aren’t you going in already!"

"The so-called Demon of Thunder, if it’s only outwardly strong but inwardly weak, this king wants to see whether your face turns white or green and whether you will really not regret it!"

"Huh—breath—"

Ye Hanjun pushed open the ten-meter tall door, stepped in and the door closed with a loud bang.

In an instant, it was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

Just like abruptly entering an empty, silent valley, where even kicking a small stone could create a loud echo.

Ye Hanjun had to admit, he was a little nervous.

Not only because he was about to face an unknown creature, but primarily because this area was filled with traces of time, even the rock walls were seamless.

The old, dull atmosphere felt like mountains were secretly pressing on his head.

On the contrary, in the pitch-black darkness where ordinary people can’t see their fingers, he didn’t worry at all, as if he could see everything like a torch, without any apprehensions.

Under the fully exposed view, Ye Hanjun saw sixteen irregular huge stones lying randomly in the centre of the hall.

They were the source of all anomalies and just walking towards them raised goosebumps on his back.

"GuaGua?"

Just to be safe, Ye Hanjun summoned GuaGua.

As an Innate Pure Beast that naturally inherits a part of the Law of Nature.

For such mysterious, miraculous materials and such Seal Stones handed down along with the River of Time, having GuaGua by his side might be safer than being alone.

"Eh?"

Outside the door, the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King showed a strange expression.

Fly Moon didn’t take interest at first.

After seeing the tiny creature that dared to jump around in the stone hall, it finally got a little interested.

"What sort of creature is this? It looks innocent and defenseless, but it’s rather brave."

"Old man, you’re old yet you claim to be a ’walking book’, you should know it, right?"

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King was silent.

The Changing Demon Fox, huffing and puffing, came chasing at last, utterly losing its poise.

"Changer, what breed is this?"

"Huh?"

The Changing Demon Fox gathered its attention half-heartedly, and peered into the sphere of light.

But it couldn’t understand it either, and honestly replied:

"His highness didn’t summon it before, and even didn’t use its blood as Blood Lure, so it may be more unique than the other Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits."

"You naughty demon."

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King shook his head and waved:

"If he wasn’t a royal with dual roles, wouldn’t the Ye Clan members die for such a treasure?"

"Ape King, if he weren’t a royal with dual roles, he probably couldn’t have contracted so many special Fond Spirits."

The Changing Demon Fox corrected the Dreadclaw Ape Demon King’s words, being very precise.

"Makes sense."

The Dreadclaw Ape Demon King nodded, revealing a foxy smile:

"A blessing in disguise? Anyway, it’s none of our business."

"As long as he doesn’t die here, the Demon Cave has invested in him, leaving a favor."

"If he becomes a soaring dragon in the future, breaking all shackles and chains, the results this investment yields will not be measurable just by ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times."

"Old man, that’s what I find detestable about you!"

Fly Moon, full of disdain, said contemptuously:

"Either help till the end, or do not help at all!"
