Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1961: 512: Demon Fetus Parasite, Yan Lan’s Breakthrough! (2-in-1) (4)

"Good disciple, hurry up and go. If you manage to get that treasure up there, your master will surely reward you handsomely. The [Infant Transformation Elixir] I promised before will be yours."

Seeing the situation unfold, Shi Hai True Monarch grew thrilled and offered incentives, having shielded Lu Quanzhen throughout.

"Young one, there's a Heavenly Infant Fruit on my island that will ripen in a century. I can hand it over to you then. This fruit serves not just as the key component for the [Infant Transformation Elixir] but can also be eaten straight away. As a supreme Nascent Soul Spiritual Object, it boosts the quality of your Nascent Soul!"

Next to him, Wugu Old Demon chimed in with tempting words to Lu Quanzhen, painting a grand vision.

Though he had picked up the Kunpeng Demon Technique, it was only partial chapters, with a handful of Divine Ability Techniques under his belt, far from true mastery.

Even if he could imitate some aspects of the Kunpeng Demon Technique, he wouldn't risk approaching, uncertain about potential hazards at the altar.

"Two seniors, I got hit by a secret technique earlier, leaving me weakened now. Unsure of the risks the altar might hold, could you lend me some treasures for defense? Otherwise, I feel really on edge."

Lu Quanzhen eyed the altar and voiced his hesitation with a troubled look.

He couldn't tell if the altar posed any threats.

Unclear if Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon would keep safeguarding him, escaping the Secret Realm alive appeared challenging.

This was the perfect moment to demand treasures useful for the fight ahead, boosting his chances of making it through.

Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon both sensed some irritation.

They had already supplied Lu Quanzhen with several protective items, but he still pressed for extras at this juncture.

Still, neither held back now, each providing yet another Secret Treasure.

"Two seniors, that secret technique earlier messed with my Qi and Blood Magical Power, making it hard to trigger these Secret Treasures properly. Do you have a Fourth Rank Puppet, Talisman, or True Treasure?"

For the prior gifts like the Wuling Ring, Lu Quanzhen stayed extra vigilant.

If he managed to flee by chance, he'd dump every one of these treasures into the ocean immediately.

So, over Magical Treasures or Exotic Treasures, he favored Puppets, Talismans, and True Treasures.

"Kid, don't get greedy."

Wugu Old Demon uttered coldly, seeing right through Lu Quanzhen's scheme.

The boy was clever, clearly setting up his own escape route.

While they did have Fourth Rank Talismans, their numbers were limited, and they needed them for the clash to come.

"I just want to stay alive."

Lu Quanzhen replied gravely.

"Here's a Fourth Rank [Golden Light Indestructible Talisman], strong enough to block a Nascent Soul Technique."

"And this [Spirit Void Rejuvenation Pill] will swiftly heal your wounds."

Shi Hai True Monarch offered with a kind smile, passing a Fourth Rank Talisman and an Elixir to Lu Quanzhen.

Noticing that, Wugu Old Demon pulled a Fourth Rank Talisman from his Storage Ring and handed it over too.

After gulping down the elixir and gripping the two talismans, Lu Quanzhen drew in a sharp breath and headed toward the altar.

His "Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique" kicked in automatically as he neared the altar, then he crossed an unseen light barrier, advancing steadily.

He moved with utmost care, brushing off the impatient stares from Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon, letting the others go first.

"Once I snag something rare later, maybe I can get one of these folks to vow protection for me."

Lu Quanzhen schemed inwardly, distrusting Shi Hai True Monarch and Wugu Old Demon completely, aiming to secure a pledge from a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Regrettably, in the Starry Sky Sea, alignments of good and evil blurred, and he knew zilch about Nascent Soul Cultivators, blind to who's trustworthy.

Time dragged on, and events took a shocking turn next.

All cultivators versed in Kunpeng Demon Techniques ascended to the altar's peak without incident.

Upon the altar sat an array of priceless items: the vivid red, translucent, aromatic Vermilion Fruit; the Treasure Fan radiating five-hued glows; the Ancient Tripod swirling with golden Dragon Energy; the Bone Talisman pulsing with Yin Yang Energies; Porcelain Bottles brimming with Elixirs and Essence Blood...

Right then, everyone who climbed up buzzed with excitement, eyes locked on the riches in front.

"Good disciple, move fast!"

Shi Hai True Monarch and the rest below pressed urgently, dying to storm the altar themselves.

But Lu Quanzhen and his companions shared wary looks all around.

"We're all forced into this, so why clash? Plenty of treasures for everyone."

A demonic technique user suggested.

"Yes, just pick what you want individually."

They aimed to split up, yet no one budged, fearing a grab might activate the altar's restrictions and unleash peril.

Still, with the pressure from below, at last, a long-haired woman with a frosty face acted, targeting the Ancient Tripod with its golden Dragon Energy, seizing it via Mana.

No mishaps followed, and a scramble erupted in a flash.

At that sight, Lu Quanzhen dashed forward abruptly, fixing on the Bone Talisman gleaming with five-colored light and an elixir vial.

For starters, among the group, his Core Formation Initial Stage left him at a disadvantage in contests.

Moreover, the Bone Talisman and Elixir promised great utility for fleeing and enduring!

Yet as the scramble for treasures intensified, the altar shook fiercely all of a sudden, golden brilliance and shadowy beams streaking the sky like a massive Kunpeng phantom.

Right after, a black hole yawned open at the altar's spot, emitting "woo woo woo" sounds like demonic howls and wails, chilling and horrifying!

"What's going on!"

All were gripped by terror, but Lu Quanzhen and the rest had no chance to react, getting yanked into the altar's black hole right away.

The black hole loomed vast and utterly dark; Lu Quanzhen and companions plunged endlessly, their Core Formation-level Mana powerless to break loose.
