Chapter 629: Opening the Entrance

After delivering those warning words, Su Che followed his intuition and floated to the very center among the nine volcanoes, then began to descend slowly.
To be honest, Su Che wasn’t sure what the correct way to open the Immortal-Demon Battlefield was. He could only move step by step, trying to find the “right place” first.
Relying on his intuition, he continued descending…
The nine Sealing Demons were each in their respective positions, each occupying a volcanic crater. At this moment, they had set aside all preconceptions and biases about Su Che, anxiously hoping that he would successfully find the key point to open the entrance.
As he descended slowly, finally, when he was still over three hundred zhang above the ground, Su Che stopped.
“Have you found it?”
The nine Xuanxians, accustomed to great trials, were deeply worried. The significance of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield was too immense; even forcing themselves to remain calm was impossible.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
Su Che stopped here because he sensed a very clear pulse here, one that reached straight into his heart. Instantly, it aligned with the previous summoning sensation.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
His heartbeat naturally changed in rhythm with this pulse, and sudden enlightenment flooded his mind.
“It’s actually…”
Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…
The Immortal Prison Pagoda in his mind slowly rotated, emitting a strange energy that enveloped Su Che. In an instant, Su Che radiated light. In the eyes of You Lin and the others, he now resembled a newly born magical artifact emitting spiritual radiance.
It looked like a magical artifact, not a human!
“Is the Immortal-Demon Battlefield related to the Immortal Prison Pagoda?”
Beyond the excitement and tension he should have felt, Su Che was also surprised: “No! To be precise, it’s not the Immortal-Demon Battlefield itself, but rather, there is some connection between the Immortal Prison Pagoda and the Existence of the Origin Demon Realm…”
The strange energy transmitted by the Immortal Prison Pagoda earlier—no one, not even Lao He, knew where it originated from. They could only roughly conclude that it definitely didn’t come from the first six layers that had already been opened.
It might come from the seventh layer, the eighth layer, or even the topmost ninth layer!
“It’s because of its connection to the Immortal Prison that I am the only destined person. In fact, this opportunity in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is just one part of it.”

Su Che almost understood: “This is my fate—inevitable and unchangeable! Because I am the owner of the Immortal Prison.”
Boom!
A visible, semi-transparent shockwave erupted from Su Che’s body, spreading in all directions and instantly enveloping an area of thousands of miles around the nine volcanoes.
“Inject Immortal Essence!” Su Che shouted.
The nine Demon Sealers immediately understood and began injecting Immortal Essence into the craters beneath them. They all realized that this injection would surely yield some effective result.
Huhuhuhu…
It was indeed different. This time, it didn’t take just a few breaths to fill the volcanoes. On the contrary, the entire volcano acted like a cosmic black hole, forcibly drawing out the Immortal Essence from their bodies. At this point, even if they wanted to stop, it was impossible.
As their energy drained wildly, with the craters below seeming like bottomless pits, the nine Demon Sealers forced themselves to stay calm but were secretly anxious: Would this keep going until they were completely drained?
Though worried, they couldn’t resist. Perhaps, opening the entrance required enough Immortal Essence…
Su Che, who was at the center, sneered inwardly: “It would be best if you were all drained—then you wouldn’t have the strength to scheme against me.”
In truth, the Immortal Essence they had injected was already sufficient to open the entrance at any time. But Su Che deliberately delayed things to increase their energy consumption.
Huhuhuhu…
Their Immortal Essence continued to drain wildly. The nine Demon Sealers sensed something was wrong: If it were nine Heavenly Immortals or Earthly Immortals, they would have been drained long ago! Could it be that the nine immortals needed to open the entrance also had certain cultivation requirements?
After a few more breaths, the six deputy sealers were already pale, clearly struggling to hold on. With little Immortal Essence left, they instinctively tried to resist this frantic absorption.
You Lin, Lin Jiu, and Guang Qi, whose cultivation was only slightly higher, also thought about pulling back to avoid having their Immortal Essence drained and causing damage to their cultivation…
Su Che felt it was time enough. Continuing would only cause more trouble, so he immediately pretended to be in the same agony and shouted hoarsely, “It’s almost done! You must hold on!”

This cry restored a bit of confidence and hope to the nine Seal Masters who were just about to give up, especially the six deputy masters, who roared in unison, unleashing their potential to hold on until the very end.
“Open!”
Finally, the nine of them heard Su Che’s fierce roar. Immediately afterward, they saw a ten-zhang-tall bronze gate appear out of thin air in mid-air, just a few feet away from Su Che.
The entrance to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield had finally appeared!
It should have been an incredibly exciting moment, but due to their extreme exhaustion, the nine Seal Masters had to sit down immediately to calm their internal energy; otherwise, it could lead to even more serious consequences.
Lao He, inside the Immortal Prison, cackled maliciously, “Master, you’re really ruthless. The amount of Immortal Essence they’ve consumed is enough to open ten gates!”
“If I don’t do this, I’ll feel guilty toward them,” Su Che thought coldly.
As he spoke, Su Che carefully examined the two bronze gates before him.
The two opposite gates were ten zhang tall, with a simple design—only a few lines of decoration, no extra reliefs or patterns. On the left gate, the character “Immortal” was elegantly inscribed, while on the right gate, the character “Demon” had a fierce and exaggerated style.
The Gates of Immortals and Demons!
Su Che’s first thought was that such a name seemed quite fitting for them.
Following his intuition, Su Che raised his hands, placed them on the two gates, and gently pushed…
Boom!
The two gates swung inward effortlessly, making no sound at all. Yet, an unusual sense of impact erupted within Su Che’s mind.
The gates opened, revealing a grayish portal. Stepping through it would surely lead to another realm—the Immortal-Demon Battlefield.
Su Che knew that this portal was essentially a teleportation gate. The real Immortal-Demon Battlefield wasn’t on this planet, and it was uncertain where one would be transported.
Go in!
There was nothing left to say. Without even greeting any of the Seal Masters, Su Che strode forward bravely and stepped through the gate without fear.
“This is my opportunity. Whether safe or dangerous, it’s destined to be mine. There’s nothing to fear!”
Su Che knew that once he entered, the nine Seal Masters would surely follow immediately—there was no way to stop them. It was good so; he didn’t want to give them too much time to rest anyway.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Che entered through the portal, it took less than five breaths for the nine Demon Sealing Envoys, who had been meditating and resting, to realize that it was almost ineffective. They quickly stood up and rushed to the entrance in no time.
Enter!
The nine of them entered one after another, without the slightest delay. Once all ten people who opened the portal were inside, the two bronze doors immediately closed, then vanished silently, as if they had never existed at all.
Only Su Che knew that the entrance to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield was not in a fixed location. Invisible and formless, it drifted around the universe at any moment. If there was another chance to open it, its location would surely not be on this planet.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The sensation of the world spinning continued for a very long time. Su Che estimated that this teleportation process must have taken over twenty minutes—longer than any previous time—and the distance traversed must have been beyond imagination.
When the teleportation finally ended, a grayish alien world appeared before him. Both the sky and the ground were gray, and not a trace of life could be seen.
The land stretched infinitely, with no visible boundaries. In the sky, countless huge rocks floated, with the smallest ones being about the size of a city.
The presence of these giant rocks in the sky did not mean there was no gravity here. On the contrary, the gravity was extremely high—at least a thousand times that of the normal world. In other words, a small animal weighing ten pounds would become ten thousand pounds here, crushed into a thin layer of flesh by its own weight and unable to survive.
With Su Che’s cultivation at the Tribulation stage, the effect of a thousand-fold gravity was not a problem. A lightness spell would suffice to overcome it.
Swish swish swish…
You Lin and the other eight appeared behind him, not being teleported elsewhere. In total, ten people gathered within a range of less than ten zhang.
However, looking around, there was no sign of a portal to leave this world. In other words, the portal they had just entered was a one-way portal. To leave the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and return to the universe, they had to find another way.
It was highly likely that they still needed Su Che to leave, which invisibly confirmed his earlier threat: Without me, you can’t enter; without me, you’ll never be able to leave!

Su Che turned slowly, his indifferent gaze carrying an arrogant tone as it swept over Lin Jiu and Guang Qi’s faces, clearly conveying: Well? I’ve brought you in already. If you want to fight, what are you waiting for?
Lin Jiu and Guang Qi lowered their eyes, deliberately avoiding Su Che’s provocation. Until they found a way to leave, they couldn’t attack him—they had to endure!
Moreover, at this moment, the condition of all nine of them was very poor; their immortal energy was nearly depleted, and they urgently needed rest—far too unfit to engage in combat…
“Is this the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?”
With a rustling sound, the six members of Lianyi were released by Su Che from that inferior Dao artifact. As soon as they appeared, they looked around in astonishment.
