Capítulo 720: Demonic Ancestor’s Inheritance Trials (2)
‘T-this…my cultivation speed…’
Soon, Zepharis noticed that his cultivation speed was much faster compared to before.
‘Is this just because of the Supreme Grade Demon Stones… or is there something about this Demonic Secret Realm?’
Zepharis frowned slightly, but soon, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
‘Looks like it is not just because of the Supreme Grade Demon Stone, this realm itself is enhancing my cultivation speed.’
With that conclusion in mind, Zepharis no longer wasted any time and started cultivating.
‘Kacha!’
‘Kacha!’
Within two hours, Zepharis completely used the first Supreme Grade Demon Stone and even used the second one and successfully broke through two levels.
That’s right!
He broke through not one but two levels and his cultivation reached Level 4 Demon Soul Realm, which even shocked Zepharis.
‘Now… my chances of killing Rank 7 Demonic Beasts are much higher.’
Soon, he opened his eyes with excitement towards the third trial.
It was finally time for the Third Trial.
‘Swiish’
‘Swiish’
Ten massive demonic wolves slowly emerged from the shadows, and each one of them emitted a terrifying aura.
‘Roarrr!!’
Being surrounded by 10 Rank 7 Demonic Wolves, Zepharis, for the first time, felt the pressure which he didn’t feel before.
However, instead of fear, a faint smile appeared on his face.
It was because the sky above gradually turned dark as the third trial was about to commence.
‘Good. This is what I was waiting for.’
For a Night Demon, the dark night was his greatest advantage.
‘Let’s see… how strong I am now.’
[Special Skill: Master of Night]
‘Activate.’
Without hesitation, Zepharis directly activated his Special Skill because of two reasons.
One, this special skill can only be activated during the night, and the second reason is that despite his double breakthrough, Rank 7 Demonic Wolves were still quite dangerous to him.
‘Swiish!’
With the activation of the Special Skill, darkness gathered around Zepharis like a cloak.
The shadows in the surroundings surged toward him and his aura instantly skyrocketed.
His battle prowess increased by 200 percent under the cover of night.
His eyes turned completely pitch black, and even his presence became harder to detect.
Like a true ruler of the night.
‘Roar!!’
A Rank 7 demonic wolf charged at him.
‘Swiish!’
However, Zepharis disappeared.
‘Swiish’
The next moment, he appeared right behind it.
‘Slash!!’
A deep wound tore across the wolf’s body, and dark energy seeped into the wound, rapidly weakening it.
‘This… is my domain.’
Zepharis muttered softly as he resumed his attacks.
However, he knew one thing clearly.
‘Once the sun rises… this advantage will disappear. So… I have to finish this quickly.’
The specialty of this Special Skill: Master of the Night has a long duration which is the entire night.
So, Zepharis wanted to complete not just the third trial but also the fourth, and if possible, even the fifth trial if there is one.
And with that, the real battle began.
‘Slash!’
‘Swiish!’
‘Roarrr!!’
Under the cover of night, Zepharis moved like a shadow.
One by one, the remaining Rank 7 Demonic Wolves fell.
His movements were sharp, precise, and deadly.
‘Swiish!’
However, a demonic wolf suddenly appeared from his blind spot.
Its claws slashed toward his neck at an incredible speed.
‘Tch!’
Zepharis barely tilted his head at the last moment.
The sharp claws grazed his neck, leaving a thin line of blood.
‘That was close…’
His eyes turned colder.
‘These beasts are not simple.’
With the increase in their rank, other than their strength, their cunningness also increased.

Moreover, unlike the Rank 5 and Rank 6, where even if their attacks landed on him, nothing would happen to him; however, things are different with Rank 7 Demonic Wolves.
The Night Demons have deadly attacks; however, when it comes to defense, they are quite weak among the same rank.
‘Slash!!’
Thus, he increased his alertness to the next level, and without wasting time, he counterattacked instantly, tearing apart the demonic wolf.
Within just 30 minutes, all ten Rank 7 Demonic Wolves were dead.
Zepharis stood in the middle of the battlefield, his body covered in minor injuries, but his aura was still steady.
[Congratulations to the participant for completing the Third Trial]
[You are granted four hours of rest before the next trial]
‘Four hours?’
Zepharis’ eyes lit up.
He was actually looking forward to this break time because during that time, he could not only recover his Demonic Essence and injuries, but he could also increase his cultivation.
‘I should break through at least two levels in these four hours.’
Even though he had double the time to cultivate compared to before, Zepharis knew that progressing further in cultivation would become increasingly difficult.
Nevertheless, he still hoped for the same miracle from this Demonic Secret Realm.
‘Swiish!’
He immediately sat down and began cultivating.
‘T-this… the cultivation speed increased further.’
Just as he started cultivating, Zepharis noticed that his cultivation speed had increased once again.
It felt at least ten times faster than before, making him very excited.
‘There is no need to waste time in figuring out the exact boost in my cultivation speed.’
However, he didn’t bother trying to measure it precisely; instead, he focused completely on cultivation.
Time passed quickly and in a flash, four hours passed by,
‘Kacha!’
‘Kacha!’
‘Kacha!’
To Zepharis’ surprise, he broke through three levels in those four hours.
His cultivation directly reached Level 7 Demon Soul Realm.
‘T-this… I became a High-Level Demon Soul Realm Demon just like that?’
Zepharis was still unable to believe it.
In just a single day, he went from Level 7 Demon Core Realm to Level 7 Demon Soul Realm.
Such speed was simply unimaginable.
However, before he could process it, the fourth trial started.
[The Fourth Trial: Kill 100 Rank 7 Demonic Wolves]
Zepharis took a deep breath.
‘100 Rank 7 Demonic Wolves?’
[Special Skill: Blood Moon]
‘Activate.’
Without hesitation, he activated another skill.
‘Swiish!’
Soon, a massive blood-red moon appeared in the sky, and the entire battlefield was dyed in crimson.
Following that, Zepharis’ aura surged once again.
His battle prowess increased by 100 percent, making it a total boost of 300 percent.
That’s not the effect that Zepharis was truly excited about; instead, he was waiting for the main effect of that Special Skill.
‘Swiish’
Soon, the demonic wolves were suppressed by 20 percent.
‘Roarrr!!’
Dozens of Rank 7 Demonic Wolves charged at him, and the battle became even more intense than before.
‘Slash!’
‘Swiish!’
‘Boom!’
Blood splattered everywhere.
Even though it was still night and even though Zepharis had multiple advantages, the number of enemies was simply too much.
Soon, his body was covered in cuts and injuries.
‘I can still hold on.’
However, his eyes were filled with determination.
After a long and exhausting battle for three hours, he finally killed all 100 Rank 7 Demonic Wolves.
Zepharis stood there, breathing heavily, and his body was covered in wounds.
But a faint smile appeared on his face.
‘I completed it… without activating my bloodline.’
He was proud because even in such a dangerous situation, he still held back his final trump card.
However, before he could even sit down, the ancient voice echoed once again.
[The Final Trial… Kill the Demonic Wolf King]
[There will be no break for this trial]
‘What?’
Zepharis’ eyes widened.
