Chapter 0990: Narrow Escape from Death
"That was my first time meeting a life form, and it was the size of a small boar . How could it have such killing power?!"
Wu Yu was still unnerved after his escape with the Somersault Cloud .
The rabbit's strength was violent and savage, packed with destructive ability, similar to Wu Yu's own, but even more aggressive .
Therefore, in terms of deadliness, it was much stronger .
"I can't be that unlucky . Perhaps all life in the Ancient Demon Realm is very strong . "
Wu Yu sensed .
The Ancient Demon Realm was rapidly becoming more real before him .
He leaped with the Somersault Cloud . Wu Yu just wanted to put some distance between him and the rabbit . He landed in the sea .
He was still in the shallow water, and could see the surface above, and the depths below him . The seawater was extremely clear, sparkling, and transparent . Although the waves were huge, you could see through them clearly .
Wu Yu had just gotten his feet in the seawater and was considering if he should leave this world when he suddenly sensed danger .
The danger came from right in front of him . Wu Yu could see a blue fish swimming . Although the seawater had a strong current to it, this little blue fish was completely unaffected, swimming languidly .
Wu Yu estimated that the fish was perhaps only two fingers wide . The blue scales were neat and gleaming, like a precious stone .
What was unusual was its blood-red eyes . He did not expect a fish in water to have the same eyes as the rabbit . They showed off how bloodthirsty it was, and not as respectable as its appearance might be .
After suffering at the rabbit's paws, Wu Yu immediately looked at the fish with his Eyes of Fire and Gold . He ascertained that it was a demon, and this was its real body . It was smaller than the rabbit . In the Jambu Realm, such fishes could be blasted into the air by a stray wave, but this one was frightfully strong . Wu Yu felt a strong sense of danger comparable to the little rabbit that had broken his Immovable Nine Palaces Design easily .
And just like the rabbit, this fish attacked without a word .
When Wu Yu noticed it, it flicked its tail forward . The tail was only the size of a thumb, but it unleashed a terrifying force . An entire tsunami came charging towards Wu Yu, shaking the entire sea region!
Wu Yu could feel the water bearing down on him at a great pace . If he could freeze it, it would not be so bad . But it was already colder than ice, and still falling . The frost energy of the world came crowding in, a bone-chilling cold .
Wu Yu's only response was cold sweat .
He did not understand this world, except that it was terrifying . Perhaps if he understood his opponents a little, he might be able to put up a fight . But now all was unknown, and the opponents' techniques were comparable to the demon kings' at the Nanyin Demon Continent . He felt like his odds were slim . Therefore, in the face of the blue fish's wrath, he again used his Somersault Cloud to leap out of there .
This time, he leaped upwards . When he emerged, he was near the clouds . From this vantage point, Wu Yu saw that half the world below him was land, while the other half was ocean . On the land, a huge section of forest had been burnt down, while in the sea, a huge portion was swept up in waves as well .
"I must have trespassed on their territory!"
Wu Yu was quite unsettled by all this . He could only describe it as sick .
"Forget it . It's enough to prove that the Ancient Demon Realm exists . I better leave quickly . "
In the clouds, Wu Yu took out the Door to the Ancient Demon Realm, resting it on his palm . He dripped blood in . The Door to the Ancient Demon Realm absorbed all of it before it began to change . Wu Yu recalled that it needed about a quarter of an hour, and waited patiently in the clouds .
He had wanted to send out his clones to scout, but thought better of it . His two forays had already met the overpowered rabbit and fish . 10,000 such encounters would cause an apocalypse .
This world was not as peaceful as Wu Yu had imagined . He could hear fighting sounds, and the world being torn apart amidst a racket . The Ancient Demon Realm was much more chaotic than he had thought .
"Damn!" Just as the Door to the Ancient Demon Realm opened to about one chi high, Wu Yu spotted a flock of birds in the west . The jet-black birds were very small, and ordinarily seen in the Jambu Realm . But Wu Yu saw their scarlet eyes .
One would see his hands full, and now there was a flock . Wu Yu's heart pounded . This was a disaster .
Wu Yu was a huge target, and the birds very quickly spotted him .
The Door to the Ancient Demon Realm had only opened to about a fifth, and needed fivefold more time before it would be fully open and Wu Yu could leave .
He was white as a sheet . This was like being swarmed by a group of demon kings, all bent on killing him with no room for negotiation .
Wu Yu could only go for it at this point . He did not know if he could still fit the Door to the Ancient Demon Realm in his Sumeru Pouch .
He could only try . He had come too suddenly this time, and had not anticipated many of the dangers and prepared his groundwork of details .
He also used some Unshackled Doppelgangers to run a diversion in various directions, hoping to draw their attention .
He was truly fortunate!
Wu Yu saw that they had taken the bait . Wu Yu had sent out 10 clones, and many black birds went after them in pursuit . Of course, quite a few were still locked on to Wu Yu's real body . There was no place to hide!
Wu Yu saw that their wings created powerful gusts despite their size, and their shrill cries carried over tens of thousands of li .
However, Wu Yu was rather lucky . He succeeded in putting the Door to the Ancient Demon Realm into his Sumeru Pouch . If he had not succeeded, he would have died here .
Otherwise, he would have to abandon the Door to the Ancient Demon Realm and run .
But if he abandoned it, he would not be able to return to the Jambu Realm . That would be troublesome . After all, all the people that Wu Yu cared about were in that world . If he were trapped here, he would be dead there .
When he gathered up the Door to the Ancient Demon Realm, Wu Yu again used the second tier of the Somersault Cloud to leap through the void .
As he left, he saw his clones being torn to shreds by some black birds . They had almost been on top of him .
"Another close shave! Just how strong are the demons in the Ancient Demon Realm?"
Wu Yu was quite glum . At least amongst all the life he had seen so far here, they were all terrifying .
This time, he returned to land and hid in a forest, shrinking himself with the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth . He hid in a tree stump, afraid to move .
Luckily, the Door to the Ancient Demon Realm was still expanding within his Sumeru Pouch . In a quarter of an hour, Wu Yu could go back .
"Next time, I'll have to drip blood beforehand . Dying here would be a colossal joke . "
The Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi probably could not come here . It would be suicide without an escape mechanism like Wu Yu's .
Wu Yu had no comprehensive understanding of the Ancient Demon Realm up till now . He had no mental preparation, and was lucky enough to escape with his life .
After those few scares, he did not dare to explore, despite his curiosity .
After a quarter of an hour, the door to the Ancient Demon Realm finally opened . The fog and lightning disappeared, and Wu Yu took it out . Before he was discovered, Wu Yu stepped in swiftly, feeling as though he had been plunged underwater . Passing through the watery layer, he again appeared in the cabin of the Hidden Immortal, where Wu Yu had been before going to the Ancient Demon Realm .
"Seems like you return to wherever you left from . I went from the Hidden Immortal, and even if the ship has moved, the Door to the Ancient Demon Realm still logs the Hidden Immortal . "
This was a reminder for Wu Yu to always go and leave from a safe place . He could not move carelessly . He was doomed if there was an enemy waiting for him .
"Big Brother Yu, you're back! Well? Did you go to the Ancient Demon Realm?"
"Come on . Out with it . " The Full Moon of Nanshan was standing there too .
Wu Yu was still unnerved from his experience . He took a few calming breaths before replying, "I can confirm that it exists . I have been there . "
"Ah . Can we go immediately? We want to take a look also . What's the other world like?" The Full Moon of Nanshan was eager .
"Don't go . It's too dangerous . I almost lost my life there . The next time I go, I have to leave the Heaven Devouring Avatar here, to prevent myself from truly dying," Wu Yu said ruefully .
They were naturally curious as to what had happened .
Wu Yu told them of his account .
"No way . My God, the rabbits, fish, birds . . . . " Ye Xixi was incredulous .
"What a perverse world . Probably even a mosquito could sting you to death," the Full Moon of Nanshan marveled .
