The Undead Ancestor felt a twinge of doubt. Was that human truly as terrifying as he had been led to believe?
Still, he maintained a serious expression and replied, "Quite terrifying."
The black rmaid nodded and said with a trace of pity, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer losses. If you can’t defeat him, focus on gathering as much information as possible. As long as you manage to escape back to the Underworld, I can guarantee your safety."
At this mont, aside from the Undead Ancestor, few knew much about the Elental World, but worry flashed across all their faces.
The Soul Demon, though sowhat puzzled, was an old fox. His eyes shifted, and he sighed along with the others.
By the ti the black rmaid vanished, the group snapped out of their trance and gathered together, discussing what had just happened.
"Undead Ancestor, tell us, what should we do next?" the Soul Demon asked in his sharp voice.
"How powerful is the Elental World, really? Even that terrifying being seed to fear it..." the Blood Demon asked, full of curiosity.
Facing their questioning looks, the Undead Ancestor maintained a calm expression. "You don’t need to worry. I will go to the Elental World alone... I have my own way of completing this mission."
This statent was like a stone causing ripples, creating an uproar among the surrounding demons. The Shadow Demon, in particular, pressed further, "Oh? Could it be that you know this person?"
"Of course not." The Undead Ancestor shook his head and swept a cold gaze over the other demons. "Since you’re all so curious, why not co with ... But I can’t guarantee your safety."
As soon as those words were spoken, the self-preserving demons hurriedly waved their hands and laughed awkwardly.
"Haha, never mind. My core artifact was just destroyed. I need to gather materials to remake it."
"Sa here. My wife is in labor at ho, I must rush back to help."
"Oh, Shadow Demon, you’re having another child? I’m great at delivering babies, I’ll help you out..."
In a matter of monts, the group of demons dispersed, each using strange excuses to slip away.
The Undead Ancestor’s expression grew colder. He let out a snort and turned to gaze into the dark passage of the Underworld, contemplating for a long ti.
Finally, he dove in.
Elental World.
Heisenberg’s Alchemy Laboratory.
Inside the room, Rhett, who had been studying elental fusion alone, suddenly opened his eyes. At the sa ti, there was a knock on the door outside.
Sensing sothing, he activated the alchemy button on the wall, and the door slid open smoothly.
Manu, his entire body glowing red like molten lava, excitedly walked in, carrying two alchemical devices that looked like flower pots. He bead with joy as he spoke:
"Thanks to you, after many rounds of enhancent through creation and relentless research with Heisenberg, we’ve finally discovered several effective ways to improve magical plants. Though the technique is still in its infancy, I believe that with more ti, we’ll find even more efficient thods."
"When that happens, many alchemical potions will see a qualitative leap, and the effects of the Bloodstone will also improve significantly..."
Rhett shared in Manu’s joy and quickly stepped forward, praising him three tis in a row.
Following Manu’s lead, he personally went to the outside test bench to inspect the results—Frost Sunflower, Fire Dragon Thorns, Black Snake Eye...
All of them were high-level magical plants, and after their enhancents, each had achieved astonishing improvents.
Even Heisenberg was amazed as he examined the plants, muttering to himself, "What a miraculous power! There’s actually such a straightforward and brutal thod to enhance magical plants. Could it be that you’re also from another world?"
As he spoke, he cast a curious glance at Rhett.
Rhett simply smiled without responding, preparing to return to his room to continue his research on elental fusion.
However, just then, a strange, ominous wave pulsed through the air. Rhett imdiately felt a familiar presence and his expression changed. Instantly, an earthy yellow light enveloped him, transforming into a protective barrier around his body.
In reality, Heisenberg had sensed it even faster—not because he was stronger than Rhett, but because of his long history with the Undead Ancestor, which made him more attuned to the threat. He shouted in alarm:
"This is bad! The Undead Ancestor’s presence! Damn it, how could he return so soon?!"
Before he could finish speaking, the air in front of them twisted, and the dark, horned figure of the Undead Ancestor silently materialized. A wave of cold, oppressive darkness spread through the room.
"Well, well, I didn’t expect us to et again so soon..." the Undead Ancestor sneered, his gaze on Rhett full of sinister amusent.
Rhett narrowed his eyes. He could tell that the Undead Ancestor’s aura was far stronger than it had been in their previous encounter. The pressure he felt now was overwhelming, even more intense than during the previous simulation.
"Hmph, if I could defeat you once, I can do it again. Speak! Why have you co uninvited?" Rhett demanded.
The Undead Ancestor suppressed his anger, about to respond, but when his gaze landed on Manu, his pupils suddenly shrank. His voice filled with confusion and suspicion as he asked, "What kind of creature is this? My heavens, such a high-level soul... Where did you co from?"
The black mist around the Undead Ancestor began to fluctuate violently, shrinking rapidly, revealing just how shaken he was.
