I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 785: Chapter 411: The Second Portion of Innate Demon Qi

He quit the game, and in reality, the time had already reached two o’clock in the early morning.

Su Nan lay down in bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, it was already broad daylight.

Out of habit, he opened the forum and started browsing.

The forum was filled with tens of thousands of new posts, but they were mostly trivial matters, lacking substance.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Su Nan hadn’t expected to find any useful information and was just casually perusing, but soon he realized that today’s forum was different.

Demon beasts!

A large number of posts about the appearance of demon beasts surged to the top of the hot list.

“Shock! The entire guild of players from the Xuan Jue Province’s Demon Slayer Guild lost control overnight!”

This eye-catching headline attracted the attention of a large number of players, and it was quickly pushed to the top of the hot list by numerous views and replies.

“It’s the demon beasts! The Demon Slayer Guild took on a task related to demon beasts, but when they arrived at the task location, the demon beast broke free from the ancient formation.”

“Many were instantly overtaken by the Demonic Qi and lost control, and many survived, but were also invaded by Demonic Qi, at risk of losing control at any time.”

“This is too tragic. It’s said that once you’re invaded by Demonic Qi, there’s no solution, and the only fate left is to lose control!”

Although player deaths in the Demon World had become the norm after its descent into reality, and even complete deaths were quite common,

the simultaneous complete deaths of hundreds from Demonic Qi’s invasion, losing control and dying, still cast a chilling sorrow in many people’s hearts, giving them a sense of impending doom akin to the loss of a protective barrier.

“Could it really be that there’s no solution to demon beasts? Isn’t there a way to resist the invasion of Demonic Qi?” some people grumbled, not resigned to their fate.

“No solution! Even in ancient times, many powerful people who practiced the ancient scriptures would lose control once invaded by Demonic Qi. However, it’s said that some powerful people could forcibly suppress the Demonic Qi.”

“Considering we already have major flaws from integrating demon bloodlines, which can easily lead to losing control, the probability of losing control after being invaded by Demonic Qi greatly increases!”

“I heard about someone who was invaded by Demonic Qi and desperately tried to become a demon themselves, but sadly, they all failed.”

The terror of Demonic Qi left everyone in despair. For a time, all players developed an inexplicable fear of demon beasts.

Even some players who had already triggered tasks related to demon beasts dared not attempt them lightly anymore.

But all of these were nothing compared to what came next. Continuing to scroll down, more posts related to demon beasts caught Su Nan’s eye.

“In just one night, a domain in Xuan Jue Province has been occupied by demon beasts! It has turned into a demonic domain for humans, shrouded in Demonic Qi; all demons and human experts have been invaded by Demonic Qi!”

“The Demon Catastrophe in our Northern Ice Province has intensified. The demon-hunting teams formed by humans returned defeated. Not only did they fail to kill the demon beasts in the perpetual ice field, but many were invaded by Demonic Qi, and now the range of activity of those demon beasts has begun to spread into human territories.”

“Our Dongchen State is also about to experience a Demon Catastrophe. It’s said that Great Yu Imperial City will soon release an unmatched great demon. Everyone, run for your lives! Once that demon beast breaks free, we will all be invaded by Demonic Qi and lose control!”

…

Almost every one of the Twelve States was plagued by the ravaging of demon beasts, and the widespread emergence of demon beasts was with Su Nan’s expectations.

He had known for a long time that as the Heavenly and Earthly vitality recovered, the formations suppressing demon beasts would gradually lose effectiveness.

But what he hadn’t expected was how quickly the demon beasts would break free.

In just one day, signs of demon beast outbreaks had appeared in Various States. At this rate, it seemed that soon, the Demon World would truly become a world filled with demons!

“The fourth calamity for the human race has arrived.”

Su Nan’s expression grew grave. It was no longer a case of a calamity approaching; the calamity was already upon them.

As for the demon clan, there was no need to mention them—they were already on stage. The Heavenly Race was also on the way.

Continuing to browse the forum, he focused on information related to the Tianjue Province.

Soon, a post that was just published caught his attention.

“Heaven has eyes, I did nothing, and unexpectedly received an inheritance. My Qi Luck increased by three hundred points, and I also obtained a set of ancient scriptures!”

The post didn’t show any screenshots. Obviously, the player was cautious, wanting to boast, yet not wanting others to know exactly what they had obtained.

But to Su Nan, it was clear what the player had obtained.

Three hundred points of Qi Luck and a set of ancient scriptures.

This was the same as what he had received from the “Daoxuanzi” inheritance!

It was evident that someone had received one of the remaining ninety-nine inheritances!

“So soon, the rest of those inheritances have surfaced?”

Su Nan was surprised; he had thought that the appearance of the ninety-plus other qualifications would take some time, possibly even a long while.

After all, if the emergence of each inheritance was accompanied by the emergence of Ancient Ruins, like in his case, then it was impossible for a hundred inheritances to appear all at once.

Now it seemed he had thought too much.

Not all inheritances would be accompanied by the emergence of relics. The way each inheritance appeared varied.

Thus, when the hundred inheritances would all surface was hard to say; it was not impossible for them to all appear within one day.

“Three hundred points of Qi Luck? Has anyone noticed that on today’s Qi Luck Ranking List, more than one person suddenly increased by three hundred points of Qi Luck?”

“Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed. I just logged into the game and took a closer look. Among the top hundred on the Qi Luck Ranking List, there are suddenly five more with over four hundred points of Qi Luck.”

“These people previously only had a little over one hundred points of Qi Luck, some not even ranking within the top thousand, and now they’ve entered the top hundred!”
