All the demons cclose to the demon king's skeleton and surrounded him after Austin left.
They were all very thrilled that they were reunited with one of their great kings.
"Your majesty! Your majesty!" a demon lord cried out in excitement.
All of the demons were waiting for the demon king to reply.
However, the skeleton stayed still. It seemed that the demon king had disappeared again.
"What happened? Hasn't His Majesty cback to life? The skeleton had demonic spiritual soul just then, didn't it?" a demon lord
asked, confused.
"Is His Majesty okay? What if he was injured in the fight with that devious human?" another demon said worriedly.
They felt bitterly disappointed at the prospect of losing the demon king again.
"How is that possible? His Majesty is so powerful! Such a weak human would never be able to hurt him!" another demon chimed in.
He couldn't accept the fact that one of their great demon kings might have been defeated by a human being.
"Clack, clack, clack!"
Just then, the skeleton began to move. The thick, dark demonic energy circulated it eerily.
Even though Austin failed to destroy the skeleton of the demon king during their fight, quite a few bones had cracked and sof
them even had been smashed.
A few moments later, the skeleton finally stopped moving.
"Hum! | can't believe that damn human dared to smash my bones! I'll kill him!"
The demon king's voice was so powerful that everyone present instantly felt the horrific and depressing aura that arose from him.
The whole skeleton had completely turned black and was shining with a dark brilliance.
"What are you all waiting for? Giveyour blood!" the demon king shouted.
He had waited for this moment for so long.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Every demon began to approach the skeleton. They slashed their wrists and dripped their purple blood onto the demon king's
bones.
It was a particular ceremony of the demon race for bringing someone back to life.

As the skeleton absorbed more and more purple blood, its body began to grow back gradually.
Its fresh, energy meridian, veins, skin and even its hair began to grow back slowly but surely.
It was only an hour later that the demon king was finally revived, standing five meters tall.
All the demons put down their hands, stepped back and looked at their demon king with respect.
Stretching his body, the demon king beamed with satisfaction.
"You all have done a great job today!" he said.
"I will give you a sumptuous reward when we return," he added.
He was very glad to finally cback to life.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," they shouted.
Then they all proceeded to kneel down in front of their king, bowing their heads.
As there were ranks in the demon race, the demon lords and generals were very low in front of the demon king.
"It seems that the gate to this PrMartial World has finally been opened by our powerful demons again!" the demon king said.
"Humph! A few hundred years ago, our race cto the PrMartial World and fought with the human race. It was a terrible
disgrace that we lost," he continued.
"It's also a disgrace that | have been trapped here for so many years! One day, mark my words, I'm going to get my revenge!" he
raged.
His red eyes seemed to be blazing with fire while he spoke.
His gaze was emanating pure hate and anger.
"But the most important thing now is to find out the human who battledjust then," he said after a few moments.
"I can't believe that he has a spiritual tree in his Soul Sea. It's very rare! | must get the spiritual tree from him at any and all costs!"
he swore determinedly.
He was so eager to get a spiritual tree to becstronger.
"Go and getthat human!" he shouted at the demons.
His eyes gleamed with greed and excitement whenever he mentioned the spiritual tree. He desired it more than anything in the
world.
"Your Majesty, we have ten groups, in total over a thousand of us are here in the Barren Mountain," a demon lord reported.
"There are six other demon kings and one demon imperator trapped in the Barren Mountain aside from you," he continued.
"Our most important job here and now is to resurrect all the demon kings and imperators. Once we do, we will have enough force
to conquer the PrMartial World," he added, bowing deeply.
The demon lord was quick to fill in the situation to the demon king.
He was afraid that searching for the human would slow down their mission.
"Humph! | don't care. All of you have to go withand find that human first. That's the most important thing now!" the demon
king shouted.
"Do you all understand?!" he warned.
He glanced at the demons around him. The cruelty and killing intent was crystal clear in his eyes.
"Understood!" the demons replied respectfully.
They all bowed their heads once they caught a glimpse at the look on the demon king's face. They could tell that the demon king
would actually kill them if they refused to play along with him.
The stronger a demon was, the moodier they became. It was easy to get on the wrong side of the demon king if they didn't follow
his orders perfectly. He might actually kill them.
Disobedience was not an option.
"Okay then. Let's go!" the demon king ordered with a grim smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the demons
to follow him.
At the moment, Austin was exploring the depths of the Barren Mountain.
He had already gotten Violet, the gnome, Emma, and Debby out of the City model with him.
"The cold ashes herb is an eighth-grade herb only mentioned in the books. Is it possible that we can find it here?" Austin asked
Emma as they hiked.
The medical books had cdown through the ages. Austin wasn't sure if they could even recognize the herb.
"Are you sure that we can find the cold ashes herb in the Barren Mountain?" Austin asked again.
He knew that this herb was the entire reason Emma and Debby were here.
He wanted to help, but he was afraid their efforts would all be in vain.

Even though he had heard of it before, he had never known where to find it.
According to Angus, srare herbs were so hard to find that even pill refiners didn't know where to find them. There was a good
chance that they couldn't find the rare ones even if they vaguely had an idea where they were.
The cold ashes herb, in particular, was really rare.
Austin had heard its description, but had never seen it before.
"Yes, it's possible that we will find shere. I've seen the information listed about it in my family's heirloom books. One of our
ancestors found shere before," Emma replied.
She didn't want to give up so easily.
"That's why we chere. We can only hope to find some," she continued after a few seconds.
She too was uncertain whether they could find shere or not.
Austin frowned. He realized that neither Emma nor Debby had seen the cold ashes herb before. It was like trying to find a needle in
a haystack!
"Gnome, we're counting on you!" Austin said seriously, his brow knitted.
The gnwas their last hope.
"I'll try my best. Let's cross our fingers," the gnsaid with a sigh.
He shook his head slightly, a small frown on his face.
Emma and Debby were more worried after hearing the gnome's remark. The gnwas most likely to lead them to the herbs, but
even he wasn't sure if they could find some.
With the gnome's powers, they had found srare herbs in their search.
They even found a superior vital energy crystal mine!
About fifty million superior vital energy crystals were waiting for them in there.
After they had collected everything, Austin gave half of them to Emma and Debby.
Austin knew that they needed it much more than he ever would.
He didn't think the superior vital energy crystals were that important, but Emma and Debby did.
For them, twenty-five million superior vital energy crystals were a huge fortune. They had never seen so many superior vital
energy crystals before!
