A huge underground space suddenly appeared in front of Johnnie.
At the center of this unknown place, Johnnie felt the presence of a powerful giant creature, trying hard to hide itself.
The Core God?
No, this creature’s energy was far beyond that of a Core God. It had reached the level of a Highgod!
How could there be a Highgod in the Demon Creatures’ realm of the Doe Family?
Johnnie took a deep breath and didn’t make a move that might reveal him. Instead, he carefully explored the huge underground space.
Soon, he found that there were more than a dozen large tunnels underground, connecting to the outside. Various Demon Creatures were silently moving in and out, without making a sound.
It seed that the reason the Demon Creatures he t underground had stayed quiet before was because of this unknown strong being.
Johnnie quietly entered the underground space and carefully observed in the dark.
It was a huge, semi-transparent, at-like bag, about 60 to 70 ters tall. It looked a bit like a deford heart. Through its thin skin, he could see the shadows of slowly moving, unfinished Demon Creatures inside, along with flowing transparent liquid.
In the top of this giant creature, there was a huge, open mouth that was swallowing various resources brought in by the Demon Creatures.
At the sa ti, Johnnie discovered that those so-called tunnels were actually its limbs, like anchors deeply embedded into the surrounding rock. They were firmly fixed in place.
Near the base of these tunnels, there were many organs that looked like birth canals. Fully ford Demon Creatures were being constantly pushed out of them.
At this point, Johnnie finally understood how the Demon Creature realm of the Doe Family actually worked.
This unknown giant being was a bit like a queen ant in the real world. It used the resources from the Doe Family to continuously produce all kinds of Demon Creatures.
It was probably because Johnnie had killed too many Demon Creatures in a short ti that this "queen" had sensed a threat. That’s why the other Demon Creatures had all hidden underground.
Clearly, the rate at which the "queen" produced Demon Creatures was much slower than how fast Johnnie was killing them.
If it weren’t for Johnnie, no one else, even the most alert ones, would have ever noticed that such a giant being was hiding underground in the realm.
Johnnie guessed that even Douglas hadn’t expected this situation. Maybe Douglas didn’t even know the real truth about the Demon Creature realm.
"If I could add this queen-like being to the Map of Heaven and Earth, it would make the advanced tasks for the Mage of the Five Elents much easier." Johnnie thought to himself.
He wasn’t short on power now. It was just hard to find a large number of elental Demon Creatures.
Johnnie wanted to move in a little closer to get a better look and find more useful information.
But as soon as he took a few steps forward, the giant, deford heart-like creature suddenly started beating violently.
All the Demon Creatures around it instantly went wild, rushing toward Johnnie’s position in a frenzy.
Johnnie knew he had been discovered. He decided to drop his Illusory Body and appear directly in the underground space.
"Human... human... get out!" the deford heart-like creature scread in a loud, painful voice.
While the other Demon Creatures were still far away, Johnnie tried to communicate with the giant creature.
But no matter what he said, the creature just kept repeating the sa sentence, as if it didn’t have much intelligence at all.
At that mont, Demon Creatures had already surrounded him on all sides.
Without any hesitation, Johnnie used the Five Elents Technique. A strong elental power surged around him. The five elents—tal, wood, water, fire, and earth—flooded the area, attacking the creatures rushing toward him.
One by one, the Demon Creatures fell. With each kill, his Five Elents Technique grew stronger, and the number of creatures he could kill increased.
It wasn’t until the bodies of the Demon Creatures piled up into a small mountain, blocking the way for more of them, that Johnnie could finally take a short break.
He could have used the Gifted Sword or the Immortal Art to kill all the creatures here. But just killing a thousand of them wouldn’t be enough for his advanced task. He still needed to improve his Five Elents Technique and raise his Five Elents talent to 80%.
Right now, he had already killed more than five thousand Demon Creatures. He still needed to kill four thousand more.
But just then, the giant creature, which looked like a deford heart, tried to escape by controlling its underground limbs.
Johnnie quickly used the Five Elents Technique to stop it.
When the strong energy of the five elents touched the creature’s skin, sothing unexpected happened.
It actually absorbed the elental power!
No, it wasn’t just simple absorption.
Johnnie saw the creature’s skin suddenly open up dozens of mouths, which started to spit out elental power and attack him.
In an instant, the underground space was completely filled with strong elental energy.
Johnnie’s eyes lit up. He realized that even though the attack hurt him, it also helped improve his Five Elents talent.
"Perfect! This is too perfect!" Johnnie thought to himself. He was even more determined now to add this strange creature to the Map of Heaven and Earth.
This was basically made just for him!
If he could add it to the Map of Heaven and Earth, he wouldn’t have to run around looking for the right Demon Creatures anymore. It would save him a lot of ti.
So, Johnnie kept using the Five Elents Technique to kill the Demon Creatures around him, while also trying to stop the giant from escaping, all the while improving his Five Elents talent.
He didn’t know how long it had been, but two more ssage alerts appeared.
He checked them and saw that he had completed almost half of the advanced task for the Mage of the Five Elents.
[Stage 8, Advanced Task for the Mage of the Five Elents: Five Elents Talent raised to 80% (Completed), Five Elents Technique upgraded to Stage 8 (Completed), Killed 10,000 rare elental Demon Creatures of Stage 8 and above (Current count: 85,654)]
He just needed to kill a little more than 10,000 Demon Creatures to finish the Stage 8 advanced task. Then he could gain experience and level up!
But just then, Johnnie felt sothing was off. He looked around and realized there were no living Demon Creatures left nearby.
And inside the deford heart-like creature, there were no more shadows of unfinished Demon Creatures or the clear liquid.
"Human... human... get out." the voice ca again, but it was much weaker this ti.
"Trying to run? Not a chance. First, tell who you are. You have the power of a Highgod, but you’re so weak." Johnnie wasn’t going to let it go.
During the fight, he had already noticed that this thing could only absorb and release elental power, and control Demon Creatures in battle.
Normally, any Highgod would have many different ways to attack. Their power would be extrely strong.
Johnnie had been able to kill those Highgod-level Bio-Humans and Six-Ard Demons before because of the Thunder Cultivation - Destroying the Evil power, which perfectly countered the Wicked Life.
But if it was a real Highgod from the Universe Continent, Johnnie would definitely have a hard ti.
"I... I don’t know who I am." the weak voice said again.
Johnnie thought for a mont and then called out The Map of Heaven and Earth, trying to pull the creature into it.
But the creature resisted violently.
At that mont, Skye sensed what was happening and told Johnnie to let him out.
As soon as Skye saw the deford giant in the underground space, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
"Johnnie, it’s the Broodmother, also known as the Earth Cyst Bearer!"
"This thing once devoured a small human kingdom, creating countless Demon Creatures that ran wild in the area!"
"I didn’t expect it to be hiding here."
As he spoke, Skye raised his huge axe. He had never liked things that hard others.
"No, no, I’m not the Broodmother." the weak voice quickly denied.
At that mont, a sharp and crazy voice suddenly shouted, "Kill! Kill them!"
The monster known as the Earth Cyst Bearer suddenly released a powerful force. The limbs that had been fixed in place now moved quickly, grabbing the bodies of Demon Creatures on the ground and throwing them into its huge mouth.
"Quick, stop it! The real Broodmother is waking up!" the weak voice grew even weaker.
Johnnie frowned slightly. It seed like this Broodmother had two minds?
What was going on?
Skye was also confused. The Broodmother seed different from what he rembered.
Only now, when the Broodmother with Highgod power finally showed its real strength, did things change.
A bright burst of elental power exploded, followed by endless ice, sudden changes in gravity, growing vines, and fireballs mixed with liquid tal. The whole underground space was quickly covered.
The Broodmother, which had stopped producing Demon Creatures, now started to create all kinds of terrifying creatures—blood-red eyes, full of rage and a thirst for blood.
Johnnie didn’t use the Five Elents Technique anymore. Instead, he summoned the Void Sword, the Seven Sword, the Dragon Patterned Sword, and the Evil-Slaying Thunder Sword. He also used his mana points to cast the Immortal Art: Vajra Indestructibility.
But just before attacking, Johnnie hesitated for a mont. He controlled the Seven Sword to attack the bloodthirsty Demon Creatures.
anwhile, he used the Void Sword, the Dragon Patterned Sword, and the Evil-Slaying Thunder Sword to attack the Broodmother directly.
Skye also raised his axe and jumped high into the air, then brought it down hard on the Broodmother.
In an instant, the ground shook violently. The huge underground space trembled, and large rocks fell from the ceiling.
The Broodmother was constantly attacked by Johnnie and Skye, and it was forced away from its original spot.
A huge pit appeared, and what was inside made Johnnie and Skye both freeze.
"This... Johnnie, I know what’s going on now!" Skye tightened his grip on the axe, his eyes full of an unnaable anger.
