Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 761: Chapter 684: Ascend to the Peak 83

The gleaming blade appeared before him, descending with a sharpness that could end Lu Tianyi’s life if it made contact.

Lu Tianyi sighed helplessly, ready to resign himself to fate. It was a pity about the supplies being once again stolen. He wondered whether those fiercely fighting on the front lines could find a way to overcome their plight without replenishment, and if his benefactor would be affected.

Just as Lu Tianyi was ready to face his demise, a streak of light flashed by. The blade aimed at him had already been knocked away, followed by a countless number of threads spreading rapidly across his vision, entangling the assassins coming for him with unbelievable speed.

Once the threads snared the dozen or so assassins, they tightened instantly, and then vanished without a trace. But the assassins had already turned into blood mist, slowly falling before Lu Tianyi, leaving a bloody mess!

Although the appearance and disappearance of the threads were so swift they felt like a hallucination, Lu Tianyi recognized them at once. They were the exclusive weapon of his benefactor, Shuangshuang: Thousand Silk Entanglement!

Lu Tianyi stared blankly at Shuangshuang, who was still in the Flying Heaven Palace above, before finally reacting after a while. He had been rescued from the brink of death once again by his benefactor; he didn’t have to die!

Shuangshuang, inside the Flying Heaven Palace, looked at Lu Tianyi lying on the ground. Without coming down, she directed Thousand Silk Entanglement to bring Lu Tianyi and his exhausted guards up to the palace, then hurriedly piloted the Flying Heaven Palace toward the battlefield.

At the same time, she stuffed Healing Pills for injuries and Spirit Revitalizing Pills for spiritual power recovery into the mouths of Lu Tianyi and the guards. After handing out the elixirs, Shuangshuang displayed a spread of delicacies on a stone table, signaling Lu Tianyi and the guards to come eat quickly.

Originally, after taking the pills, Lu Tianyi intended to talk to Shuangshuang about his discovery, but seeing the food made his eyes light up. The guards beside Lu Tianyi couldn’t help drooling pathetically.

Having been chased relentlessly, Lu Tianyi and his companions hadn’t had the chance to eat, their stomachs long since touching their spines. Without food in sight before, they could endure, but now with it right in front of them, how could they resist? The group almost immediately began eating hungrily, they were simply too starved!

After Lu Tianyi ate his fill, Shuangshuang finally asked him her first question, ”Tianyi, during this transport of supplies, were you pursued and did you discover anything?”

Lu Tianyi, patting his bloated stomach, feeling a bit satisfied, reclined in a chair while looking at Shuangshuang. Having seen his benefactor’s ruthlessness on the battlefield, Lu Tianyi felt completely secure thanks to Shuangshuang’s combat power. Relaxed now, he began to speak.

If not for feeling safe, he wouldn’t have been in the mood for eating and drinking so much. When Shuangshuang asked him, Lu Tianyi recalled his discovery, and his expression turned serious. It’s undeniable that Lu Tianyi is an extremely perceptive and observant individual.

Despite the constant pursuit, Lu Tianyi hadn’t been idle. The consequences were brutal, but he had indeed discovered something extremely important, even shocking to him.

Though surrounded by guards who had risked their lives for him, the matter was too significant. Lu Tianyi instinctively lowered his voice.

”I indeed discovered something. Firstly, the martial techniques and cultivation techniques of those who chased me were quite sinister. Initially, I didn’t notice, but after several encounters, I felt their techniques resembled disguised Evil Cultivation techniques.”

”Because of this discovery, I initially thought the matter involved Evil Cultivators hired by other nations, or that they intended to weaken righteous forces, hence their attack on our supplies.”

”These Evil Cultivators had high cultivation, and their attack methods were bizarre. The techniques seemed poisonous and very insidious, deeply concealed, not activating at first, but striking instantly when they did, claiming lives.”

At this point, Lu Tianyi’s tone became resentful and sorrowful, ”Several of my guards died suddenly after being injured by this poison. Later, to understand its principles, I captured one of the attackers to forcibly probe their Spirit Mansion, to ascertain what cultivation techniques they practiced and deduce a way to expel the poison.”

”But to my shock, upon probing their Spirit Mansion, I found a Demon Core distinctive to the Demon Clan! Everyone knows Demon Cores are exclusive to the Demon Clan, yet here it was in a person who appeared human. I was utterly dumbfounded!” Lu Tianyi still felt stunned and puzzled by this discovery.

Since Demons cannot possibly masquerade as humans, their long-term life in the Abyss means their every breath exudes its aura.

This abyssal aura is blatantly evident in the human world, akin to a beacon in the night, impossible to hide. Wherever Demons appear, they are immediately recognized.

Therefore, Lu Tianyi couldn’t comprehend how a Demon could suppress their aura to appear entirely human and then openly walk in the human world. It was incredibly unbelievable, and Demons don’t last long in the human world.

Not only can humans not survive in the Demon’s world, but Demons cannot survive long in the human world either; much like each Demon invasion requires territory transformed to suit their survival before battling humans.

Moreover, battles between Demons and humans, regardless of dominance, last a maximum of three days before retreating. As Demons face fatal weakness beyond three days in human-suitable environments.

If not for these restrictions, Demons wouldn’t fail every invasion. Their sole victories lie in their destructiveness, capable of instantly transforming environments suitable for humans into Demon-livable ones. But humans lack the ability to instantly convert the opposite.

The inherent discord between humans and Demons is innate, devoid of right or wrong, irreconcilable, both fighting for survival. Demon invasions aim to seize more living space, given their narrow living quarters in the sparsely Abyssal, necessitating conquests of human worlds.
