"Little Dan …"

"Little Dan, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't scare me!"

The pressure engulfed the entire city as if it was directed at the cultivators. The higher the cultivation level of the cultivators, the more pressure they could withstand, but the mortals were not affected at all.

At the source of this pressure, the pressure that a cultivator would have to bear was immense and far away from the source, so the pressure he would have to bear would be slightly lessened.

The pressure enveloping the entire city wasn't limitless, it could only reach the peak of the Divine Tribulation Realm, but in the hearts of everyone present, that pressure seemed to be limitless.

Without happiness, one would be in the worst of mishaps. Not only was one's cultivation base at the tribulation stage close to the Scarlet Pill, the pressure on one's body was also the greatest.

As the source of the pressure, and also the cause of it, Chi Dan was naturally unaffected. The power of the Heaven's Gift only passed by him, not pressing him.

The cultivators of the city struggled to resist the immense pressure and were unable to move. On the other hand, Tian Ci was unable to sense the pressure at all and was able to move freely.

Big brother Huo Luan and Lu Ding, who were beside him, also suffered the same huge pressure. Tian Ci did not care about the two of them because he was more worried about Little Dan, who was standing there like a fool.

Little Dan's eyes were lifeless. His posture was still the same as when he was first released. He arrived in front of it and waved his hand in front of its eyes. It didn't react at all.

Not only that, even when it called out to him, and slapped his mouth, he didn't see any reaction.

At first, everyone did their best to resist the pressure. They didn't pay attention to the other people's situation until they heard the call of the heavens. Only then did they start paying attention to the other people's situation.

"Why is this happening?"

"Why is he fine?"

"How is this possible?"

"Is it a divine beast?"

One could not blame the crowd for making a fuss about nothing. Rather, the pressure that appeared was too strange, and the pressure that was applied to everyone was too inconceivable.

If the pressure did not affect the low-level cultivators, the low-level cultivators would definitely be smashed to smithereens.

The aura of a low-level cultivator being used on a tribulation cultivator should not affect the tribulation cultivator.

There was also a mortal who was under great pressure while being bestowed by the heavens with the ability to jump about freely.

The people who deserved to die were still alive, the people who should not have been affected were also being pressured. All of this was simply too inconceivable.

In the cultivation world, everyone knew that when a person released his aura on a group of people, regardless of the person's cultivation level, they would still be able to withstand it.

Only when a cultivator's cultivation reached the level of ascension, or when a demon beast reached the God Beast Mirror, when their spiritual sense turned into spiritual will, could the pressure released by spiritual will be used on different people.

After thousands of years of peaceful coexistence between the humans and demons, they had only just broken the peace between the humans and demons. Since the divine beasts and cultivators of the realm of ascension had yet to appear, it was naturally impossible for a hundred thousand cultivators to have seen them.

About divine beasts and flying cultivators possessing divine will, it had always been a myth, and no one had actually seen it before.

It's exactly because no one has ever seen it that everyone has reason to believe that cultivators with different cultivation bases can withstand such pressure. To be able to do this, it must be a God Beast, or a Cultivator with a flying cultivation base.

This pressure came from the Scarlet Core. Could it be that it wasn't a demon king, but a divine beast? This was what all cultivators thought.

"Little Ci, don't touch it. It is recovering!"

As for the cultivation level of the Scarlet Core, Huo Luan knew about it, as did Huo Luan.

At this moment, Chi Dan stood there like a statue without any reaction. He must have met with some trouble, or some other matter.

Tian Ci and Huo Luan were aware of the matter beforehand. However, they did not expect that the situation would get worse and worse and that their lives would be in danger. They did not even know how to end the situation.

The Scarlet Pill had met with an accident that frightened all the cultivators in the city. Huo Luan did not understand either, but he knew that it was definitely related to the immortal master.

Thinking back to the hospitable immortal estate, how the Little Demon King was no match for Elder Zhang, and how the current situation was extremely disadvantageous to them. He made a plan in his mind, taking advantage of this opportunity to confirm his identity as the Demon King.

The Little Demon King and Tian Ci were both on the same boat with him right now, both of them suffering losses and flourishing at the same time. They had become accomplices of the Little Demon King's denizen, all for the sake of allowing him to escape this predicament.

Once the identity of the Demon King was confirmed, it would be much easier for the Little Demon King to leave.

He clearly knew that big brother Huo Luan was lying. Considering the problem of the ending, Tian Ci could only choose to take care of it and not disturb Xiao Dan. She was worried and did not leave.

A quarter of an hour later, the pressure covering the entire city began to disappear. The cultivators regained their mobility, and Chi Dan also regained his consciousness, stretching his body.

"Little Dan, are you alright?" Looking at the spirited look in Little Dan's eyes, Heaven's Gift held his hand and was extremely pleased.

"Haha, the feeling of recovering from a loss is really f * cking great!"

Return the spirit stones to his hands?

Could it be as some cultivators had guessed, that due to some reason, the Scarlet Core lost a portion of its cultivation, and was only able to recover its cultivation now?

Chi Dan's ambiguous words seemed to answer those who cared for him, but it also seemed to warn outsiders, causing all sorts of suspicions to arise.

It was just that the recovery of one's cultivation base was just an illusion. Hundreds of high-level cultivators might still have some ideas. If a demonic beast recovered its cultivation base through spiritual will, not to mention hundreds of high-level cultivators, even tribulation cultivators would flee and not dare to act rashly.

"Monster King, your cultivation has recovered?"

"Haha, not bad. I can finally show off my skills!"

Scarlet Core naturally knew about the cultivation base. He recalled the battle between the hospitable immortal estate and Elder Zhang and also understood that Huo Luan was purposely adding fuel to the fire to dispel some of the doubts of others.

Previously, when he was forced by the lack of happiness, spirit stones were only one aspect of it, and it was also due to his lack of strength.

He took the opportunity to confirm his identity as the Demon King, and with the ability to sit on an equal footing with Wu Huan, it was likely that if he were to leave, he would never dare to act recklessly without happiness.

"So it's Lord Divine Beast. It's all the old Daoist's fault for being unable to recognize it. Please forgive me!"

If it really was a divine beast that had come, then he would definitely not be as casual as he was now. He would definitely pay his respects respectfully, afraid of offending a divine beast.

Why should I plead guilty?

At that moment when they saw Chi Dan, it was clear that there was no happiness. The Demon King that everyone was talking about was just a great demon that could speak human language.

To be able to determine the realm of a Scarlet Core, on one hand, it was because his cultivation was higher than a Scarlet Core. On the other hand, he once had the privilege of reading a book on strange beasts.

He had always thought that Chi Dan was only a great demon, but now he dared to press him even further. It was only when Chi Dan's body was emitting a pressure that he began to doubt his own judgement.

A pressure that he was unable to defeat, and it was even able to release different pressure depending on the cultivation level of the cultivator. He also believed that only cultivators and divine beasts in the flying realm would be able to do this.

Could Chi Dan not be a demon, nor a demon king, but a divine beast?

According to what he knew, there weren't many divine beasts in this world. He had almost heard of all of them, but he had never heard of a pig that was a divine beast.

Huo Luan's question and Chi Dan's reply made him feel as if this man and beast were intentionally putting on an act. Although he couldn't explain why Chi Dan was emitting such an incredible pressure, he still couldn't believe that Chi Dan was a divine beast.

If there was any doubt, he would confirm it. Therefore, he decided to use the method of asking for forgiveness.

"Haha, fellow cultivator with no happiness, you misunderstand. This king has always yearned for the Divine Beast Realm, but due to my dull nature, I was unable to do anything about it. My advancement failed, causing my cultivation to fall below the realm of the Monster King."

There were many divine beasts in the world, and even some divine beasts that existed in certain parts of the world. Not only was there no blissful knowledge about them, Fu Yun had also spread knowledge about them to Chi Dan, and Chi Dan also knew about them.

At the same time, although the other party called him Lord God Beast, his actions were not very respectful. It could be seen from this that Wu Heshan did not believe that he was a God Beast, but wanted to test his true cultivation.

Just now, the pressure emitted from his body was at the peak of the Demonic Lord Realm. Since there was no happiness wanting to test his cultivation level, it was also straightforward. It directly admitted to its cultivation level, making it impossible for happiness to make a correct judgement.

"Haha, no wonder fellow cultivator's spiritual will is so astonishing. It actually touched a Divine Beast. This is truly a cause for celebration!"

Anyone who came into contact with a Divine Beast's realm would have to undergo a tribulation of lightning. With the Scarlet Core's character, no one would believe that it could survive without the aid of a tribulation of thunder.

"Fuck, old fox, you're still not satisfied!"

He had already revealed his identity as the Demon King yet he still wanted to continue probing. Chi Dan cursed in his heart. Even though he was unhappy, he still feigned ignorance.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lucky, you misunderstood again. This King obtained a secret technique to cultivate spiritual sense early on, but was lucky enough to cultivate a divine intent upon coming into contact with a Divine Beast's realm."

Chi Dan's words were flawless, two probing attempts had no effect, and without any luck, he could only give up.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist, you truly are blessed by the heavens. I hope that you can become a divine beast as soon as possible and protect the peace of the world."

Before Chi Dan's cultivation "recovered", he was unhappy that he had almost forced him and his companion into a corner. After Chi Dan's cultivation "recovered", he immediately changed his attitude and was extremely courteous. Everyone could see that he was speaking falsely.

However, the reason he was so 'polite' was entirely because Chi Dan had the strength of a Demonic Lord.

At the same time, he realized that he only had one trump card left to force Chi Dan to swear, and that he would not continue to force him like before.

Without happiness, he still had to be "polite" to Chi Dan, but what about the one hundred thousand victims?

After seeing the Scarlet Pill, a low-level cultivator was subdued by it.

Hundreds of high-level cultivators, upon seeing it, felt that it lacked the aura that a demon king should have. They also felt that the demon king unintentionally exuded a faint majesty.

As for the records of the strange beasts, there was not only one cultivator in the city who hadn't been blessed enough to read them, but there were also people who had been fortunate enough to read them.

Even if someone guessed that it wasn't the Demon King, the cultivators of the sect didn't want to offend the esteemed guest of the Hollow Jade Sect, and had the same thoughts as the rogue cultivators.

However, Chi Dan did not notice it in advance. He didn't even react as he watched the spirit stone being snatched away.

Not only was the spirit stone taken away, it was also forced back. Each and every one of them was convinced that this Scarlet Core was not a Demon King, but a Demon Lord.

However, there was no evidence to prove that conjecture was just a conjecture after all.
