Chapter 635: A Ant’s Speech

Just a few breaths later, dozens of dark shadows could be seen gathering in the sky, all coming from the nearby floating boulders. Without a doubt, they were the neighbors—or even friends—of the Minotaur Demons.

Boom, boom, boom…

In the blink of an eye, various groups of demons landed on the giant boulders, glaring fiercely at Su Che and the others as they began to criticize them:

“Foreign immortals? Haha, after all these years, we’ve finally seen outsiders!”

“How did they get in?”

“These guys are so weak!”

“Take a closer look—any sign of that person?”

“Arrest them all and interrogate them thoroughly. If they’re useless, tear them apart and use them as tonight’s food.”

“Roar! I’ve never tasted the flesh of an immortal yet. Will those two females taste better than the males?”

Being surrounded by such a group of demons with terrifying appearances and formidable strength would surely fill one with fear. Even though they were all cultivators accustomed to encountering monsters, those so-called monsters paled in comparison to the Origin Demons.

The key point was that they were now in a battlefield between immortals and demons—a domain entirely controlled by the demons. This lack of confidence was the main source of their fear.

The Minotaur Demon raised its trident and pointed at Su Che and the others, shouting, “These guys arrogantly claim to be here to hunt treasures, wanting to steal all our treasures from the cave. It’s laughable—they have such thoughts but lack the courage to fight me head-on… Brothers, what should we do with such cowards and uselesslings?”

“Slay them! Eat them!”

“Torture them first before killing them.”

“Of course! Hahaha…”

The roars of the demons echoed like thunder.

In truth, the Origin Demons valued killing as part of their nature. They didn’t need to eat to survive; “eating” was merely a habit they used casually.

“I’ll eat you and turn you into my dung!” They believed this was the most intimidating threat…

But regardless, this group of demons had made it clear they wouldn’t engage in a fair duel with Su Che and the others. What followed would be a brutal and bloody fight, with the inevitable outcome being that the group of immortals who came to hunt treasures would be mercilessly slaughtered.

If a fight really broke out, the outcome was beyond doubt.

Whoa—dozens of tall and muscular demon tribes gathered around, their enormous flesh wings fluttering slowly to form a circular shadow that enveloped Su Che and the others, signaling that their future would be plunged into darkness. Complete darkness, with no hope of dawn!
“Is this what the Immortal-Demon Battlefield represents—great opportunities and blessings? For us, it’s nothing but a place of certain death!”
You Lin, Lin Jiu, Lian Yi, and the others, though they managed to maintain outward composure, felt varying degrees of despair inside. In such a situation, even if they still had the strength to fight, there was no hope left, and they couldn’t think of any way to escape.
The danger of the Immortal-Demon Battlefield was a thousand, ten thousand, even countless times worse than the rumors—there was no chance of survival at all.
Originally, everyone thought that demon souls and demons were low-level creatures, mainly those with gray or black wings, with few copper-winged ones. Most were mindless puppet demons wandering around, which could be avoided to allow one to move quietly through the battlefield and harvest vast amounts of immortal artifacts…
But in reality, it was completely different. Those imagined puppet demons had long evolved into numerous copper-winged demons, and there might even be even more terrifying silver-winged and gold-winged ones!
“We’re dead!”
Watching the dozens of giant demons approaching slowly with their copper-winged wings, Hei Ya muttered in shock, “Brother Tian Yu, if you can’t come up with a good plan, we’re really doomed!”
Dozens of copper-winged demons were equivalent to dozens of Xuanxians. Under their siege, there was no way to escape. At the very least, Hei Ya and the others’ fate was already sealed.
Lin Jiu and Guang Qi quietly took out a deep purple immortal talisman and hid it in their palms—it was their last hope, the “Boundary-Shattering Talisman.” Unless something miraculous happened, their only option left was to activate the talisman.
Regardless of whether activating the talisman could truly allow them to leave the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, this exploration mission was definitely a hundred percent a failure.
At this moment, Lin Jiu and Guang Qi, like everyone else, could only place their hopes on Su Che, hoping that this fated person could create a miracle and truly live up to the legends of those blessed with extraordinary opportunities.
This was also the reason why the two of them never attacked Su Che—otherwise, they would have easily reduced him to ashes with a single gesture.

At that moment, Su Che turned slowly and smiled arrogantly at Lin Jiu and Guang Qi, as if to say, “It’s my turn to appear again. You two, widen your eyes and watch closely…” Su Che’s actions were not out of petty triumph, but rather to make Lin Jiu and Guang Qi realize more clearly the importance of distinguishing priorities and avoiding foolish mistakes. To be honest, Su Che had been worried all along—what if they failed to grasp the situation and actually turned on him? That would be an irreparable disaster! Could he withstand attacks from two great Xuanxians? The answer was: impossible! “Wait!” Suddenly, Su Che floated upward, hovering above Lin Jiu and the others. At this height, he could face them eye to eye, on par with the many demons. These creatures were several zhang tall, roughly the same height as five-story buildings. “It’s him again!” The ox-headed demon pointed at Su Che and said to the other demons, “Look, it’s always this mortal who pops up to talk to me. Are the immortals outside the more powerful, the more timid?” “Who the hell knows!” one demon replied in a rough voice on behalf of everyone, “This is the first time I’ve seen an immortal, and also the first time I’ve seen a mortal… But this little guy is really too weak. So weak that I worry I might accidentally crush him with just a light touch.” Ants! In their eyes, Su Che was nothing but a fragile ant—too weak to even consider killing, yet one wrong move could easily result in his death. Unperturbed by their words, Su Che instead asked loudly, “Is there a supreme leader who commands all the demons in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?” “Little guy, why ask that?” asked one ugly monster with huge breasts on its chest, seemingly a female demon, in a shrill voice. “I think there must be a commander anywhere, and the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is no exception.” Calm as a mountain, Su Che smiled at that ‘demon beauty’ and said, “Could you please inform them that the person they’ve been waiting for has arrived?” “That person?” The demon beauty seemed momentarily stunned before asking, “With that tone of voice, are you saying that person is you?” “That’s right.” Su Che nodded calmly without changing his expression. “It’s me!” “Oh?” The demon beauty stared at her purplish-red eyes and glanced at the other demons, her expression extremely strange… “Hahaha…” “Hehehehe…” “Gagagagaga…” “Roarroarroar…”

After a moment of suffocation, dozens of demons burst into wild laughter, as if they had heard the most incredible joke ever.
“A mere mortal?”
The demonic beauty laughed heartily, her fleshy arms trembling as she pointed at Su Che and said, “A weak, insignificant insect like you is the savior we’ve been waiting for for countless years? Gahaha, how will you save me? It itches here—can you scratch it for me? It’s itched for years; I’m counting on you to relieve the itch, gahaha…”
“Why are you laughing?”
Su Che’s expression turned cold as he issued a thunderous shout. With that, the laughter of the demons was silenced.
The laughter suddenly ceased…
“He seems pretty impressive, but his size is just too small!”
The demonic beauty’s vulgar remark immediately triggered another round of uproarious laughter.
“The Battlefield of Immortals and Demons has existed for over 70 million years…”
Ignoring their mocking laughter, Su Che spoke calmly yet clearly, “Over 70 million years! What an incredibly long period of time. Perhaps you don’t even have a concept of time and don’t understand what 70 million years means, right?”
“For such a long time, no outsiders have entered the Battlefield of Immortals and Demons. Are we the first? Don’t you have any deeper thoughts about this?”
“To tell you the truth, in the entire universe, among countless beings, I am the only one who can open the Battlefield of Immortals and Demons. It’s me who opened it and brought them before you!”
“Why hasn’t anyone else entered the Battlefield of Immortals and Demons all these years? That’s because without me, they can’t enter at all! They can’t even find the entrance.”
“Why hasn’t the person you’ve been waiting for appeared all these years? That’s because I am that person. If I don’t come, you’ll never see him!”
“After waiting so long, today, someone finally stands before you, daring to declare, ‘I am that person!’ If I have the courage to say this, don’t you have the courage to verify it?”
“If you think this is funny, then laugh to your heart’s content. But after laughing enough, please use your brains and think—if you eat me now, how many more years will you have to live in ignorance before it’s over?”

As Su Che spoke these words one by one, the group of demons had long stopped laughing. They were all silent, with gloomy expressions… Of course, their gloominess was due to their fierce faces; in fact, it was just an expression of them thinking seriously…
After Su Che finished his speech and a long time passed, the demon beauty spoke on behalf of the demons, saying in a low voice, “To be honest, I really hope you are him… But you are so weak!”
“Everything great begins from something small.”
Su Che asked with a smile, “Do you understand this sentence?”
