From the time we left the Rockfire Fortress to the peak of the Monster God Realm, the snake spirit and I had walked for a year. Including the months of seclusion, we had spent a year and a half on the road. At this moment, there was only half a year left before the last ferocious beast in King City awakened. However, we were already not far from King City. Half a year was enough for us to travel.
After meeting up with the Spirit Serpent on the Black Dragon Beast, the Spirit Serpent's aura was similarly majestic. When he blinked his eyes, his aura was restrained. It was obvious that he hadn't been slacking during this period of time. Even though his cultivation hadn't reached the Great Circle of the Monster God Realm, he was at the peak of the Late Stage of the Monster God Realm. He was only a step away from my cultivation.
Even in the Demon Region, our cultivation is only half a step lower than the Demon Thearch. If we work together, even the Demon Thearch will have to avoid us. It is not an exaggeration to say that we can run amok in the Demon Region.
Of course, there are realms above the Demon Emperor. Demon Emperor Pu 'er, who is guarding Monarch City, is probably a top-notch existence among the Demon Emperors. It's not something we can speculate about. Therefore, we still have to keep a low profile during this trip to Monarch City. It's the safest move to act in secret like before.
After the Spirit Snake saw me, it stared at me for a moment before saying in shock, "Yi... Did you advance to Dawn Ascension?
Why haven't they ascended yet? "
I glanced at him and said unhappily, "How can it be so easy? I'm only half a step into the Dusk Realm. There's still a long way to go before I ascend. As for you, I haven't seen you for a few months and you're not far from the Dusk Realm either."
The Spirit Snake chuckled and nodded. "I had nothing to do while you were in seclusion. I also released those apes. When I got bored, I went to the bottom of the lake. At first, I was just looking for the ferocious beasts at the bottom of the lake. Then one day, I met a half-beast man at the bottom of the lake. Heh, that guy had a bunch of horns on his face, which gave me a fright. At first, he wasn't very strong, so I didn't want to deal with him. But then I remembered that when the Mountain and Sea Realm first opened and Wang Li was in danger, you met a Demon Race who also looked like that. So I captured him and asked him about him. It turns out that guy is from the Eastern Province. His appearance is that of a large clan of the Sea Race. Apart from him, there are many other Sea Race living in the east of the Ruo River."
The Spirit Snake surprised me. There was actually a Sea Race from the Eastern Province here. And the first Demon Race I met in the Human Realm was actually the Sea Race!
This was really inconceivable. According to the impression I had when I was wandering in the Demon Domain, the Eastern Waters was the furthest region from the Mountain and Sea Realm. Even with my current speed, it would take several years to cross the Demon Domain. How did the Sea Race from the Eastern Waters appear in the Human Realm so quickly?
I didn't understand, so I quickly asked the Spirit Snake, "What happened next?"
The Spirit Snake smiled proudly and continued, "After that, I got bored and went to the Sea Race's area to take a stroll. You don't say, the Sea Race really did have some ability. Their cultivation was ordinary, but most of the Sea Race could control ferocious beasts at the bottom of the sea. Some of them could even control ferocious beasts at the Demon God Realm. Moreover, several of them attacked me at the same time. It took me a lot of effort to deal with them.
Afterwards, when the Sea Race realized that they couldn't beat me, they all submitted to me. They even elected me as the City Lord of Ruoshui City … They have a city in the Ruoshui Lake that is completely built with shells, corals and the like. I don't even need to mention how beautiful it is. Of course, the most beautiful ones are the Mermaid Race and Clam Race girls, hehe … "
Just by looking at the Spirit Snake's wretched appearance, I could imagine what kind of debauched life he had in Ruoshui City.
I naturally didn't care about him causing trouble for the Sea Race, but Ruoshui City was one of the Sea Race's cities. How could the Sea Race not care about him messing around there?
I heard that the Sea Race in the Eastern Waters was the most powerful existence in the few provinces of the Demon Region. Even if he was from the Dragon Race, there was no reason for the Sea Race to allow him to run amok, right?
When I asked the Spirit Snake, he acted as if he didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Someone told me that the Sea Race will send people over. But so what if they send people? Unless their Demon Emperor comes, can't I run away even if I can't beat them?
But it doesn't matter now. We will leave immediately. Even if they come, they won't be able to find us. "
This guy was really a troublemaker. The Sea Race had fought with him before and knew his cultivation. If they sent people over to deal with the matter here, it would obviously not be easy to deal with them. Moreover, according to him, the Sea Race had the ability to control ferocious beasts. Since there was the existence of Demon Emperor among the Beastmen in the Demon Region, it was hard to guarantee that there weren't any ferocious beasts of the same realm. If a ferocious beast of the Demon Emperor realm came, or a ferocious beast of the Perfection of the Demon God cultivation like me, the Spirit Snake might not be able to escape.
He had a noble status in the Dragon Race. The Sea Race might not kill him, but he wouldn't be able to escape. Fortunately, I came out of seclusion early. Otherwise, this guy would most likely be at a disadvantage.
Since the Sea Race was spying on us, I didn't dare to stay on the Weak Water Lake for too long. If I were to be entangled by the Sea Race, not only would it be troublesome, it would also affect the next step of the plan. Thus, I got the Spirit Snake to urge the Dark Dragon Beast to rush towards King City at the fastest speed.
In the past year, the Spirit Snake and I had consumed countless beast cores of the ferocious beasts. At this moment, the accumulated power in our body was already saturated. There wasn't much need to hunt for ferocious beasts in the remaining period of time.
At full speed, we quickly passed through the last part of the Weak Water Lake.
On an evening ten days later, as the sun was setting, a black line could be faintly seen at the end of the lake. As we flew forward, a towering cliff suddenly appeared in front of us.
Above the cliff, there were countless buildings of varying heights. At the very top, there was a tall and spacious building with a pointed roof. All of the buildings and the tall cliff were dyed with a layer of gold under the illumination of the setting sun. It looked like a golden city that was situated on the peak of a golden mountain.
King City was different from the other big cities. King City was situated right next to the lake. The Ural Mountain Range originated from the Dragonspine Plateau and ran through most of the regions of the Monster Domain. The entire civilization of the Monster Domain seemed to be based on it. At the end of the Ural Mountain Range was the cliff at the bank of the Weak Water Lake.
From the geographical shape, it seemed as though the power of the entire Ural Mountain Range had been gathered to give birth to the most dazzling pearl of the Monster Domain – King City.
At the foot of the steep cliff, merchant ships were bustling about on the surface of the lake, continuously transporting goods to and from King City.
Unlike the lake we came from, there were many mature and long waterways to the west and north, connecting King City with the two provinces in the northwest and the northwest that were relatively close to each other.
The Spirit Snake and I obviously didn't need to enter King City through the pier at the foot of the cliff like these ships. We didn't stop at the cliff as we rode on the Dark Dragon Beast and flew into King City.
As the noblest city in the Monster Domain, it was necessary to have strict air control. However, the Dark Dragon Beast, which was unique to the Dragon Clan, was obviously not within the scope of control.
After flying into King City, the Dark Dragon Beast circled around in the sky. Very quickly, a whistle sounded from the ground, guiding the Dark Dragon Beast to land in a beast field.
After coming out from the beast field, we officially arrived at King City.
From its appearance and status, King City was different from the other cities in the Monster Domain. However, its interior wasn't much different from the other cities in the Monster Domain. In fact, the atmosphere of the marketplace was even denser, leaning towards the human world.
There was still half a year's time before the last beast would awaken. Thus, the Spirit Snake and I weren't in a hurry and just strolled around King City.
It didn't take long for us to understand the structure of King City.
The entire King City was divided into two cities, the inner city and the outer city. The inner city was the Royal City, where only the direct descendants of Emperor Po 'er lived. The huge building with a pointed roof that we saw when we arrived was the Monster Emperor's Palace at the center of the Royal City.
On the other hand, the outer city was the true King City. Countless races lived in it, be it the Wolf Tribe and the Bear Tribe in the Northern Province, the various Winged Tribes in the Western Province, the Sand Lizard Tribe and the Butterfly Tribe in the Southern Province, and even the Sea Tribe in the Eastern Province. All of them lived here. This was a huge city where all the races converged.
