20: Demon Commander

The Secret Realm.

"What kind of monster is this? Why is it so strong?"

"Ah!"

Screams occasionally echoed from within the Dark Moon Demon Forest, but they would only last briefly before vanishing completely.

The family members outside the Secret Realm were immediately shocked when they saw the Life Crystals in their hands shatter.

"Quickly notify the family members, something unexpected has happened in the Secret Realm!"

Su Feng led Xu Muyan through the heavily Yin-infused forest; looking at it from the inside, it was drastically different from the outside.

The exterior was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, but the interior was eerie and terrifying.

Xu Muyan's scalp tingled, and she nervously followed behind, clutching the corner of Su Feng's clothes.

"This Secret Realm doesn't seem to be an Ordinary one!"

The difficulty levels for Secret Realms and Dungeons are almost identical, ranging from low to high: Ordinary, Brave, Adventure, Nightmare, Hell, Lost Soul, and Void.

The formation of a Secret Realm is also highly related to the surrounding environment's Magical Energy.

Given the scarcity of resources around Tianhai City and Tianlin City, the Secret Realms that appear shouldn't exceed the Brave difficulty level!

Therefore, Xu Tian felt safe letting Xu Muyan enter with Su Feng.

After all, he had naturally prepared certain life-saving methods for Xu Muyan.

Dealing with a mere Brave-level Secret Realm should pose no problem.

The further Su Feng advanced, the more oppressed he felt, as if some of the surrounding trees were staring at him.

"Hehehe... I, Baras, have prepared for a hundred years, and finally, I am resurrected!"

A chilling voice spread throughout every corner of the Secret Realm, causing the scalps of the few survivors to tingle.

What is Baras?!

They had never heard of it!

Su Feng's gaze deepened, lost in thought.

"So that battle really happened!"

"Su Feng, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing. I'm afraid we've run into some trouble."

Su Feng had read about this in the library's records. A thousand years ago, the Abyss appeared on the Blue Star, and countless demons began invading human territories.

Humanity rose up to resist, and during this time, Awakened Ability Users continuously appeared. Later, people collectively referred to this as Class Advancement.

It was initially thought that this battle would be decided without suspense, but humanity's tenacity exceeded the demons' imagination.

A hundred years later, the Eight Great Demons led countless subordinates to wage war against humanity.

And this Baras was one of them.

The great war lasted several days. Humans, allied with Magical Beasts and Magical Plants, defeated the demons and completely sealed the Abyss.

Countless high-level Magic Formations were set up outside, and even Eighth Revolution and Ninth Revolution experts maintained them constantly.

That Baras was the Demon Commander who conquered the Dragon Country at the time.

But according to the books, this guy was supposedly completely annihilated!

How could he appear here?!

Su Feng was confused, but right now, he had to find this demon first!

He wondered if his skills could withstand the former Demon Commander?

If he failed, he would probably have to restart... "Such pure human aura. Everyone who entered here shall die!"

"For forcing me to sleep for nearly a thousand years, this time I will surely make your blood stain the rivers and corpses litter the fields!"

"Hey, can you stop just shouting?"

"Come out and show yourself!"

Su Feng was speechless. Hiding in the dark and yelling constantly was physically irritating!

"Brat, you are truly courting death!"

Bang!

Standing before Su Feng was a terrifying demon less than a meter tall. The fangs in its mouth emitted a chilling gleam, and the wings on its back were somewhat unique, differing slightly from conventional demons.

"You are Baras?"

Su Feng looked at the demon before him with some doubt. He truly couldn't believe that the demon who had conquered the Dragon Country a thousand years ago was such a dwarf-like creature... "It's me, no substitutes!"

"But I heard that Demon Commander Baras was a hundred feet tall, powerful, majestic, and looked down upon the world."

"Are you, a three-inch runt, trying to impersonate him?"

Xu Muyan wanted to laugh but dared not. Although the demon in front of them was less than a meter tall, the Demonic Energy radiating from it was exceptionally terrifying.

Baras yelled in exasperation, "If it weren't for the impure Demonic Energy of that trash demon I absorbed, plus the low level of the humans who entered, how could I only condense such a small Demonic Body?"

"Understood. You are the culprit."

Su Feng scrutinized Baras's body, secretly estimating its value.

The Magical Beast Hand that dropped earlier could sell for tens of millions, and this guy calls himself trash.

If he captured this guy and brought him back, he could definitely sell him for a lot of money.

"Hmm!"

Su Feng nodded silently, and the look in his eyes when he gazed at Baras was filled with greed.

Baras's heart sank. Are humans this perverse now?

A thousand years ago they liked Witches, and now they won't even spare a Demon King?!

"If you like to play, then I'll play along slowly. My subordinates will greet you!"

Baras remembered that he hadn't finished absorbing the energy, so he vanished from the spot.

Finding food is certainly not a job for a distinguished Demon King to handle personally, right?!

"Why did he leave?"

Su Feng scratched his head.

This Demon King seems mentally unstable!

"Su Feng, we..."

Before Xu Muyan could finish, many shadowy figures crawled out from the ground around them. Their outlines were unclear, but they emitted a foul stench.

Even some strange trees began to move.

"You like to play?"

"Then I'll play with you!"

"Storms Wrath!"

A fierce Cyclone appeared beneath Su Feng's feet, protecting him and Xu Muyan in the center.

Immediately, this Cyclone rapidly expanded, sweeping across a thousand meters instantly.

The air was filled with fierce Wind Blades. The howling gale uprooted many trees, and some fragile, withered corpses were instantly annihilated.

[Successfully killed the monster Human Withered Corpse, gained 20,000 Experience Points!]

[Successfully killed the monster Fallen Demon Body, gained 40,000 Experience Points!]

[Successfully killed the monster Ghost Eye Demon Corpse, gained 50,000 Experience Points!]

...[Ding! Congratulations, Host, your Level has increased!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, your Level has increased!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, your Level has increased!]

..."The level of this Secret Realm is at least Nightmare difficulty! The monsters inside are so numerous, and the Experience Points they contain are unusually massive."

"Never mind that. I need a Second Revolution anyway, so give it everything you've got!"

The Cyclone in the air became even more violent, uprooting many trees and completely grinding them into ashes in mid-air.

Xu Muyan was horrified. Just how powerful was the force behind Su Feng?!

Can he just use a Forbidden Spell whenever he feels like it?

And he uses them without repeating... One usage like this could bankrupt an entire Xu Family.

Xu Muyan clicked her tongue internally, watching all the surrounding monsters being annihilated.

Meanwhile, Baras, who was in the distant mountain range, saw the strange change in the forest and how vast the affected area was.

If he hadn't burned his life force in time, perhaps... if he had stayed a moment longer, he would have been shredded!

"Who?"

"Who exactly is it?"

Baras howled toward the sky. Could it be that a human expert above the Eighth Revolution level had entered?

"Coward, if you dare, come out and face me!"

Baras hid deep within the mountain range; the forest had been completely destroyed.

"I am Demon Commander Baras! You weren't even born when I was showing off my might!"
