The Orb's Reaction

The pursuit that Apas mentioned refers to her two older sisters. As far as Tang Miao is concerned, he is not afraid of the Supreme Monarch's subordinates at this stage.

Let alone his subordinates, even if the snakes themselves came, Tang Miao wouldn't be afraid. At most, he would suffer a bit more when the energy of the bead was insufficient and the demons retaliated.

"I'm not lying to you. As long as this bead is full of energy, no one can harm you, no matter who is with me."

Although his strength hasn't changed much, the addition of Apas's Demonization power makes it absolutely terrifying!

After all, her bloodline is in no way inferior to Element Pet like Flame Ji and Snow Woman.

"What exactly is this bead?"

Judging from Tang Miao's expression, he clearly wasn't bragging, which piqued Apas's curiosity. What kind of bead was this?

Could it be some kind of high-class vessel?

Now that the two were practically one, he had no need to hide anything and stated frankly, "This bead contains the power of a demon. Once used, your combined strength, along with my own, will unleash power dozens of times greater!"

Seeing Apas's incredulous look, Tang Miao continued, "Let me tell you something else. On Huaxia soil, I once fought against Khufu, the Egyptian god of the underworld."

"What!?" Apas was stunned...

Khufu was well aware of this; after all, besides dealing with serpents and scorpions, the biggest source of war in Egypt was the undead under Khufu's command!

She didn't care about those scattered undead spirits; they weren't even worth her attention. But she knew about Khufu! He was a true top-tier fighter in the world!

Even her serpent queen Medusa might not be a match for Khufu. The reason the two sides have been able to coexist peacefully in Egypt until now is simply because Khufu knows that there is no benefit in fighting Medusa's people... On the contrary, they prefer cities inhabited by the living.

As long as there is killing and death, the undead army will be constantly replenished!

Apas found it hard to believe that the first-tier super-level being in front of her had fought with Khufu and was still standing there unscathed.

However, Tang Miao's expression was clearly not the way he usually fooled me...

"Did you really fight Khufu?" Apas asked again.

"Stay with me and you'll understand in the future how right your choice was."

Tang Miao didn't explain further. It was normal for Apas not to believe such a thing; after all, that was Emperor. In a one-on-one fight, he could only handle some Intermediate Monarch with low bloodlines. Even among the Primary Monarch, there were powerful ones, and he might not be able to kill them.

All I can say is that they're staying undefeated!

Moreover, there's plenty of time; there's ample time to prove whether what I'm saying is true or false!

Right now, his priority is naturally to collect the energy from the Demon Bead. He still has a portion of the Liquid of Time; if he can find two more portions of energy and absorb them, the demon within him can be revived.

Although the backlash from two Demonization within a year was terrifying, compared to saving one's life, what serious trauma was that?

Following the bead's guidance, the two hurried in another direction. In this desolate desert, they truly had no idea where they were...

After nearly half a day, the two finally arrived at a large hill made of sand and rocks. It was truly hard to imagine that there was such a large mountain in such a place...

Judging from its appearance, this wasn't formed naturally; it seems like mages once fought here.

Because this place contains some powerful Earth Element magic...

And after arriving here, his beads began to shine even brighter!

Clearly, there was something on this mountain that interested him. Although he didn't know what it was, since he had come all this way, he certainly wouldn't leave empty-handed.

After collecting the camels, the two began to climb the steep mountain. For some reason, there was no path at the foot of the mountain.

After climbing for only a few minutes, Apas suddenly tensed up. At the same time, Flame Ji and Snow Woman in Tang Miao's Contract Space also connected with Tang Miao's mind.

"There seems to be a powerful Demon Beast in these mountains..." Apas warned.

Regardless of whether what Tang Miao said before was true or not, the current situation is that if she dies, Tang Miao won't die; if Tang Miao dies, she won't live...

Therefore, Apas is unwilling to let him take risks unless he does something reckless.

"I know, I must have another reason for coming here!" Tang Miao said dismissively.

Just now, Flame Ji and Snow Woman told Tang Miao that there are also elemental pets living here! Moreover, they also told him that the Element Pet here are very strong! At least at the level of Great Monarch!

It's important to understand that even some Supreme Monarch would struggle to deal with an Element Pet possessed by a Great Monarch...

However, having two Element Pet by his side, even without a contract, he believed they shouldn't attack him so fiercely.

Moreover, the Demon Bead had unexpectedly lit up, and he really didn't want to give up climbing the mountain. Most importantly, if they didn't go up, where would they go?

Immediately, Tang Miao led Apas to continue climbing...

The mountain was very high. If Tang Miao hadn't been afraid of unknowingly provoking the aerial Demon Beast and not wanting to engage in a pointless battle, he would have simply flown away with Apas. But in the Demon Beast's territory, even if he was capable of killing, he still needed to keep a low profile.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~!~~~~!!"

When the two had climbed halfway up the mountain, a sudden gust of wind arose!

A sudden gust of wind struck, and the two nearly lost their grip and fell, but fortunately, they were not without the ability to fight back.

Moreover, Tang Miao immediately conjured a huge block of ice and enveloped the two of them.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!!!"

To Tang Miao's surprise, the gale was filled with powerful wind-attribute demonic magic! This was not a natural wind, but rather a man-made one!

"Crack... crackle..."

The Ice Wall began to shatter the instant the gale swept in. The yellow sandstorm enveloped them in the blink of an eye, and as the two watched, they saw a proud and domineering figure atop the towering sandstorm!

Its entire body was swirling with suspended sand, its pupils filled with intense resentment and agitation. The raging sandstorm was its own creation, for this creature resembled a commander standing amidst a vast army of sand, or perhaps, the overwhelming sandstorm was simply a part of itself...

Although I've never seen such a creature before, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Sandstorm Fiend mentioned in the original work...

"That Demonic Energy just now must have come from it!" Apas said warily, braving the strong wind.

Before Tang Miao could even unfurl his Wind Wings and leave, the gate to the Contract Space suddenly opened!

The next moment, two elemental goddesses, one red and one blue, floated out. As their domains of fire and ice expanded, the Sandstorm Fiend actually paused?

Moreover, the violent sandstorm that had been raging suddenly subsided in an instant?

Seemingly seeing that their opponents had withdrawn the power of the gale, both Snow Woman and Flame Ji simultaneously dispersed their own power. However, fire and Ice Element were extremely scarce here, so neither Flame Ji nor Snow Woman completely dispersed the sand and dust like their opponents; they simply ceased to express hostility.

"Eek~ Eek?"

Immediately afterwards, the Snow Woman looked at the Sandstorm Fiend and asked in a puzzled whimper.

The Snow Woman seemed confused as to why this demonic creature, capable of controlling sand and dust, was attacking them without provocation. Most importantly, she couldn't understand why, given that it emanated the aura of Element Pet, it had transformed into this form.

The figure, swirling in the suspended sand, appeared before the Snow Woman in an instant. Although it still harbored hostility towards Tang Miao, this human, it seemed to have seen a little spirit like itself in the world, so it was no longer so agitated.

"Eee~ Eeeee... Eee-oh!"

It was unclear what the other person was discussing with the Snow Woman, but when they looked at Tang Miao, their expression was filled with overwhelming anger!

After seeing that the other party meant no harm, Little Flame Ji floated over as well, seemingly expressing something together with Snow Woman.

Tang Miao looked at Apas with some confusion, then asked, "What are they saying? Why can't I understand a word of it?"
