Chapter 304 Passing the Heavenly Gate
"Black Dream?" The demon soldier guarding the area frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm asking you if you have the Demon Lord's warrant. Who cares which demon general you are?"
These demon soldiers guarding the Heavenly Gate see at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, demon generals a year. Ordinary demon generals are simply not worth their attention.
Despite being treated coldly by the demon soldier, the Black Dream Demon showed no anger and said with a smile, "I don't have the Demon Lord's order, but I have important business to report to the Demon Commander. Please let me know."
"No warrant from the Demon Lord?" Upon hearing that there was no warrant, the demon soldier on guard turned even colder: "Don't you know what kind of place this Heavenly Gate is? Without a warrant, you are not allowed to enter! Hurry up and leave, lest the Demon Commander becomes angry and none of us will have a good time!"
The Black Dream Demon chuckled, showing no intention of leaving. Instead, he stepped forward, took out a small bag, and stuffed it into the demon soldier's hand: "A mere bit of demon heart, just to satisfy your cravings, brothers. I do have urgent business to report to the Demon Commander, so please do me a favor."
It seems that this method of bribery is very effective, both in the vast world and in this Stone Tablet Demon Realm.
The demon soldier weighed the bag in his hand, and his expression finally softened: "Alright, I'll go and tell the Demon Commander. As for whether the Demon Commander will see you or not, that depends on your own luck."
After saying that, the demon soldier turned around and walked up to the Heavenly Gate.
……
Before long, the demon soldier who had gone to deliver the message descended from the Heavenly Gate and said to the Black Dream Demon General, "The Demon General wishes to see you. Come with me!"
After speaking, he glanced at Lin Fei standing behind the Black Dream Demon General and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Who is this person? Why is he hiding his identity?"
Lin Fei was completely concealed within the black cloak, so these mere demon soldiers naturally couldn't discern his true identity.
Black Dream Demon General felt a chill in his heart, but showed no sign of it on his face. He simply smiled and said, "This is one of my subordinates. He's about to break through to the Demon General realm. I brought him here to broaden his horizons and familiarize him with the place. Once he breaks through to the Demon General realm, he can go to the center of the Demon Realm on his own."
The demon soldier was only asking casually; after all, there weren't many in the entire demon realm who dared to cause trouble at the Heavenly Gate. Hearing the Black Dream Demon General's reply, the demon soldier nodded and said, "You mustn't be disrespectful before the Demon General, otherwise, you might not even become a Demon General before your demonic heart is safe!"
The demon soldier led Lin Fei and his companion all the way to the Heavenly Gate, where they met the demon general guarding the gate—the Black Fiend Demon General.
According to the Black Dream Demon General, this Black Fiend Demon Commander is the weakest of the demon commanders guarding the Three Heavens Gate. His cultivation level is only equivalent to the Seven Apertures Realm among human trial participants.
Although he is the weakest of the three Heavenly Gates Demon Generals, he is still a dignified Demon General who guards one side. This Black Fiend Demon General has quite the airs.
He sat high above, and when he saw Lin Fei and the other man enter, he didn't even raise his eyelids. He casually asked, "I heard from the soldiers guarding the city that it was you two who wanted to see me? Speak, what do you want to see me about?"
He stuck out his scarlet tongue, licked his lips, and chuckled, "If there's nothing urgent, I'll rip out your two demonic hearts to use as a snack with my drinks today!"
These demons are all inherently cruel. Whether it's the Black Dream Demon General or the Black Fiend Demon Commander before us, they are all people who would kill and rip out hearts at the drop of a hat.
Lin Fei noticed that compared to the Demon General, this Demon Commander had more mysterious patterns on his body. The mysterious patterns on the Black Dream Demon General only existed on his two arms, while the patterns on this Black Fiend Demon Commander had extended to his neck.
Moreover, the pointed horns on his head were no longer completely black, but faintly glowed with a bluish light.
Faced with the pressure of a Demon General, the Black Dream Demon General, already feeling guilty, panicked even more. With a "thump," he knelt down directly in front of the Black Fiend Demon General, not daring to raise his head: "This humble one, the Black Dream City Demon General, pays respects to the Demon General!"
"I asked you what you wanted, not where you came from!" Black Demon General sneered—this guy is far too cowardly?
"And who are you?" The standing Lin Fei and the kneeling Black Dream Demon General formed a stark contrast, and the Black Fiend Demon Commander couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you kneel before me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei simply bowed slightly to the Black Fiend Demon General: "I came to the Heavenly Gate only to go to the center of the Demon Realm. Please grant me passage, Demon General."
"To the center of the Demon Realm?" the Black Fiend Demon Commander asked instinctively, "Do you have the Demon Lord's pass?"
Lin Fei answered directly, "No."
"No?" The Black Demon General was taken aback at first, then shocked, and jumped up from his throne: "So you've come here to challenge the trial?"
Lin Fei chuckled softly, removed the hood of his cloak from his head, revealing his true face: "If the Demon Commander doesn't let me pass, then I'll just consider myself here to challenge the barrier."
Upon seeing Lin Fei's true face, the Black Fiend Demon General was even more shocked, pointing at Lin Fei and shouting, "Outsider! You're actually an outsider!"
No wonder the Black Fiend Demon Commander was so surprised. In the entire Demon Realm, it had been countless years since anyone dared to attempt to break through the Heavenly Gate. Let alone an outsider.
However, the Black Fiend Demon General was merely surprised, not afraid. After his initial astonishment, he suddenly let out a sinister laugh, appearing quite excited: "So you're outsiders! It's been countless years since I've tasted the flesh and blood of an outsider! The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in your flesh and blood is something I deeply miss!"
He glared at the Black Dream Demon who was still kneeling on the ground: "You brought this outsider here. Do you know what kind of crime that is?"
The Black Dream Demon General lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to move an inch: "Lord Demon General, I was forced into this situation. If I hadn't brought him here, he would have taken my life. Please, Lord Demon General, spare my life!"
"Useless thing!" Black Fiend Commander sneered, "Get out of my way! I'll deal with this brat first, then I'll slowly torture you!"
Black Dream Demon scrambled to the side, while Black Fiend Demon Commander looked at Lin Fei with a cold and twisted smile: "Boy, you actually dare to come and challenge the Heavenly Gate. Should I praise your courage or say you're ignorant?"
As he spoke, the mysterious patterns on the Black Fiend Demon General's body began to glow with a ghostly emerald light: "It'll be a blessing for you to end up in my belly, kid. Since you've come to me, I'll gladly accept your flesh and blood!"
