Chapter 303 Demon Commander
"Three Heavenly Barriers?" Hearing Black Dream Demon General's words, Lin Fei was also somewhat puzzled. "Tell me, what exactly is this Three Heavenly Barriers?"
"In reply to your question, my lord, the so-called Three Heavenly Gates are the three essential passages from the outside of the Demon Realm to the center of the Demon Realm," the Black Dream Demon General explained to Lin Fei. "To enter the center of the Demon Realm from the outside, one must pass through one of these three places. Even a Demon General like myself, upon receiving the summons of the Demon Lord, must pass through the Three Heavenly Gates to enter the center of the Demon Realm."
Since it's such a crucial location, it must be guarded by experts. Lin Fei asked, "Those three heavenly gates must be heavily guarded?"
“That’s right.” Black Dream Demon General nodded and said, “The Three Heavenly Gates are the key places to enter the center of the Demon Realm. Each Heavenly Gate is guarded by a great figure of the level of a Demon General.”
The Demon Commander's strength, converted to the realm of human cultivators, is at most equivalent to someone who has opened the Heavenly Gate. Lin Fei doesn't even consider this level of strength a threat.
"My lord, don't underestimate the demon generals guarding the Three Heavens Pass." Demon General Black Dream said, "With your cultivation at the Dharma Aspect Realm, ordinary demon generals naturally pose no threat to you. But the three demon generals guarding the Three Heavens Pass are no ordinary demon generals."
"Oh? Is there anything unusual about these three?" Lin Fei asked, frowning.
"In terms of cultivation alone, the three Demon Generals guarding the Three Heavens Gate are not much higher than the other Demon Generals. They are roughly equivalent to those among humans who have opened the gates of heaven and earth. With your unparalleled cultivation, you can naturally take them down easily." The Black Dream Demon General didn't forget to flatter Lin Fei as well: "However, in order to have these three Demon Generals guard the Three Heavens Gate and prevent outsiders from causing trouble, the Demon Lord specially bestowed three treasures upon them. These three treasures are said to have been left behind by the great beings who founded the Demon Realm, and each one possesses boundless power. In the past, there have been outsiders at the Dharma Aspect Realm who dared to attempt to break through the Three Heavens Gate, but they have all fallen into the hands of the three Demon Generals."
"What? There's such a treasure?" Lin Fei was now genuinely surprised.
The powerful figure who created the Stone Tablet Demon Realm—others may not know who he is, but Lin Fei knows him all too well. It is none other than the renowned True Martial Demon-Slaying Emperor, whose fame was legendary even in ancient times. If there really are any treasures left behind by the True Martial Emperor, then things could become quite troublesome.
The True Martial Emperor was a renowned figure in ancient times. If he left behind any treasures, they must be incredibly powerful, perhaps even peerless divine weapons.
It's important to understand that treasures from ancient times are extremely rare, not only in this small world but also in the greater world. Among them, the most renowned are undoubtedly the Ten Divine Artifacts. If the True Martial Emperor truly left behind a treasure comparable to the Ten Divine Artifacts in this small world, then Lin Fei would have a real headache.
However, now that he was already in the Stone Tablet Demon Realm, Lin Fei couldn't possibly give up halfway. Even if the True Martial Emperor had left behind some treasure comparable to the Ten Divine Artifacts, Lin Fei had no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try.
With Lin Fei's current strength, even if he is no match for the treasures left behind by the True Martial Emperor, he is confident that he can escape unscathed.
Lin Fei reached out and pulled the Black Dream Demon forward from the ground: "Lead the way! You can choose any of the three Heavenly Gates!"
……
The three heavenly gates are not in one direction, but are distributed in different directions in the Demon Realm. And they are all gateways to the center of the Demon Realm.
The place that the Black Dream Demon was taking Lin Fei to was one of the three Heavenly Gates.
Black Dream Demon General naturally had his own considerations—if Lin Fei could pass through the three heavenly barriers, then he would at least have a glimmer of hope.
If Lin Fei fails to pass the Heavenly Gate, not only will Lin Fei not let him off the hook, but the crime of leading outsiders is already enough for the Demon Lord to tear him to pieces.
Therefore, the Heavenly Gate that the Black Dream Demon took Lin Fei to was the one he considered the weakest and most confident he could pass through.
As they approached the Heavenly Gate, the Black Dream Demon General said to Lin Fei, "My lord, the Heavenly Gate is not far ahead. The guardian of this Heavenly Gate is a demon general called 'Black Fiend,' whose strength is only equivalent to the seventh level of human cultivation. He is weaker than the demon generals guarding the other two Heavenly Gates."
The strength of a Demon General is roughly equivalent to that of a human cultivator at the Five Apertures to the Heavenly Gate level. The Demon General guarding this Heavenly Gate is only equivalent to a human cultivator at the Seven Apertures level, making him the weakest among the Demon Generals of the Three Heavenly Gates.
Of course, even the most powerful Demon Commander was at most equivalent to a cultivator who had opened the Heavenly Gate, and Lin Fei didn't take him seriously at all. What truly concerned Lin Fei was the treasure left behind by the True Martial Emperor.
Lin Fei asked the Black Dream Demon General, "Do you know what kind of treasure the Demon General of this Heavenly Gate possesses, and what kind of power it has?"
The Black Dream Demon General laughed awkwardly, "Replying to your question, my lord, how could a demon general like me be qualified to see such a treasure? As for what kind of treasure it is, I have absolutely no idea."
This was not unexpected by Lin Fei. Since it was a treasure left behind by the True Martial Emperor, it would not be easily revealed to others. It was perfectly normal for the Black Dream Demon not to know.
For now, we can only proceed cautiously and take it one step at a time.
The Black Dream Demon led Lin Fei all the way to the foot of the Heavenly Gate. Those guarding the Heavenly Gate were merely a group of ordinary demon warriors.
As far as Lin Fei knew, the demon race had a strict hierarchy, and ordinary demon warriors were merely objects of indiscriminate slaughter for demon generals. However, these demon warriors were unlike any he had seen before.
They showed no respect or fear towards the Black Dream Demon General, merely glancing at him casually before asking, "Halt! Where did you come from, Demon General? Do you have a warrant from the Demon Lord to bring you to the Heavenly Gate?"
Without the summons of the Demon Lord, even a Demon General cannot pass through the Heavenly Gate at will; this is the rule of the Demon Realm. These soldiers are nothing more than ordinary demon soldiers, yet they dare to disregard a dignified Demon General because they are subordinates of the Demon Commander who guards the Heavenly Gate.
Given the temperament of the Black Dream Demon General, if an ordinary demon soldier dared to be so disrespectful to him, he would probably have had his demon heart ripped out and been torn to pieces long ago. But at this moment, the Black Dream Demon General not only showed no anger, but even smiled obsequiously and said, "Please inform him that the Demon General of Black Dream City has come to pay a visit to the Demon Commander."
