The moment they entered the heart of the central Blood-Colored Divine Mountain, the view opened up.
This core Forbidden Land was vast beyond imagination. Rather than being packed with solid rock, its interior had been divided into separate minor worlds for living beings.
Each minor world was enclosed by a sturdy barrier and used to raise different kinds of living beings for high-ranking Emperor Evils and even Evil Venerables to consume.
Those raised here were members of the Human Race and other races from various worlds.
They were kept plump and tender, their bodies clean and unblemished. They looked safe enough, but their minds had all been sealed. Dazed and unaware, they lived in this Forbidden Land like livestock awaiting slaughter, with no will of their own.
Emperor Evils tended the minor worlds everywhere along the route, each carrying out his duties in an orderly fashion.
These attendants were no weaklings. Even the least powerful had reached the middle Emperor Realm and could have dominated a region outside. Here, they were mere menial workers.
At the sight of Lin Yi and the Thousand-Foot Demon Emperor approaching, every attendant lowered his head and stood rigidly at attention. None dared look up, much less step forward to speak.
The Thousand-Foot Demon Emperor took in the scene, envy and ambition burning in his eyes. "Now this is the stature of an Evil Venerable! The bearing of an overlord! One day, I'll rise to this position too, command an estate like this, and decide the life and death of countless beings."
Lin Yi glanced at the dazed creatures awaiting slaughter, his heart cold with disdain. His voice remained mild, but his words cut deep. "Are you sure you'll be running the place, and not end up penned in here for someone else to butcher?"
