"This is the gate to Wutu," Silu said quietly.

Beside him, Nizhou nodded and said, "They are coming back, do you as a wise angel have any solutions?"

"I will set up a sequence array at the entrance, which can hold off Wutu for a while," Silu replied calmly.

"Although you say that, setting up a sequence array takes a lot of time, and I doubt anyone will buy us time. Besides the angels and demons, no one knows about the existence of Wutu," Nizhou said.

"Don't we have the Demon Emperor?" Silu asked in return.

"You angels want to use us demons as cannon fodder?" Nizhou stiffened, displeased.

"I'm just thinking, not executing. That's not my responsibility," Silu shrugged.

"Silu, be mindful of your identity. You are not only a lofty angel, but also the blood servant of the Emperor!" Shizhi reminded with a solemn voice.

Because Nizhou and Shizhi knew that Iris was not the real Demon Emperor, she wouldn't be able to draw the sequence array. "Tsk!" Silu sneered and said, "I am the blood servant of the Demon Emperor, not yours. Besides, our master has not spoken yet."

Shizhi was speechless at Silu's words, not knowing how to retort. Nizhou couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Enough." Iris, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"We're going in!"

"Yes, Your Highness," Shizhi and Nizhou said in unison.

Iris glanced at Lilith in the distance, her mind full of thoughts, before finally taking a deep breath and stepping towards the stone gate.

Shizhi, Nizhou, and Silu followed.

Lilith also noticed Iris's gaze and as they were mother and daughter, they could sense each other. Lilith clearly sensed that Iris's royal bloodline was gradually weakening.

"Sister? Sister?" Liran Day looked at the silent Lilith and called out a few times.

Lilith snapped back to reality and smiled at Liran Day, indicating that she was fine.

"Sister, are you feeling unwell? If so, why don't you go back? I can handle this matter," Liran Day worriedly said.

"I sense that Iris's royal bloodline is weakening. It seems like something is slowly changing her bloodline, and the rate of change is very slow, making it difficult to detect," Lilith furrowed her brows and whispered.

"It can't be!" Liran Day exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this. Besides the initial embrace of the Queen of the Blood, Liran Day couldn't think of any other way to change one's bloodline.

"Anzhuo, do you think there's something wrong with Iris's body?" Lilith suddenly thought of something and looked at Liran Day.

The two seemed to have sensed something, but couldn't grasp the key point, so they just looked at each other.

"Let's go in first and observe carefully," Liran Day suggested.

"Okay." Lilith nodded and stepped towards the stone gate.

Several shadow guards followed closely behind.

As they entered the stone gate, a pitch-black corridor appeared before them. Light mages used illumination magic on both sides, revealing rows of stone pillars with mysterious ancient patterns engraved on them.

As Lilith and the others stepped in, screams echoed through the corridor, sending shivers down their spines.

Liran Day and the shadow guards immediately protected Lilith in the middle, cautiously surveying their surroundings.

"Ah!!"

Suddenly, a sharp scream came from the end of the corridor. The sound of magic colliding and breaking reverberated throughout the corridor. A man was thrown out by the magic attack, crashing to the ground and spitting out blood.

The man was dressed in a tattered blue robe, his body covered in injuries. He had a strong physique and a resolute face, but he was covered in blood, looking disheveled. A piece of his flesh had been torn open on his chest, revealing his bones and flesh underneath, faintly showing his white bones.

The corridor was filled with the scent of blood and a nauseating smell.

The man lay on the ground, his eyes red as he stared at Iris and the others, blood continuously gushing from his mouth. His lips moved incessantly, but no sound came out. He seemed to be asking for help.

Iris summoned the little spider on her forehead and it flew straight towards the man, diving into his mind.The man trembled all over, gritting his teeth as the intense pain caused his body to convulse, blood continuously spraying from his mouth.

After a moment, the man's body stopped convulsing and he collapsed to the ground, his body limp.

The tiny spider devoured the man's life, beginning to absorb his life essence.

After a while, the man's body shriveled up and turned into a pile of bones, while the spider crawled out of the man's body and returned to Iris's forehead.

Only in this way could it provide the energy for Iris's curse cultivation. The stronger the person consumed by the spider, the more life essence it could absorb.

The life essence stored by the spider also had a limit, only allowing Iris's curse cultivation to advance from the initial stage to the intermediate stage at most. Only when the curse cultivation advanced could the limit of the spider's life essence storage be broken through, allowing it to elevate intermediate level curse mages to high level, and so on.

Iris, Qi Zhou, and the others continued on, only able to hear various roars, howls, and extremely pitiful screams. She wanted to see how strong the creatures in Wutu were, and whether they would be stronger than her demon army.

After Iris left, Lilia saw the body of the man in the blue robe on the ground and furrowed her brows, "Curse cultivation?"

If Iris's fourth discipline was curse cultivation instead of illusion, could it be that Li Xi and Xue Youyue really saw creatures with horns?

...

Ahead, humans and orcs formed a unified front and launched an attack on the Swarm, but the Swarm clearly showed no fear.

Despite the enormous number of the Swarm, humans and orcs did not retreat, but rather were even more motivated to fight.

Dionysus' armor emitted a faint silver color, surrounded by many dark purple arcs, giving him a thunderous presence.

Dionysus wielded a huge silver battle sword, the blade shimmering with dazzling electric arcs, exuding a terrifying pressure that made people retreat.

Dionysus took the lead, wielding his giant sword and cutting down the crowd of Swarm in front of him. Every strike caused a spray of blood and accompanied by a wail.

Ssh! Ssh! Ssh!

With each swing of his blade, heads of the insects were continuously severed, blood spraying and staining the surrounding space.

Similarly, the Crown Prince of the orcs, Grom, showed no weakness. With each punch, insects would burst, and blood and brain matter would splash onto his body and armor.

For a moment, the scene was extremely spectacular.

The Second Prince of the orcs, Galrah, did not make a move, but quietly watched the development of the battle.

He felt something was not right. Although the combat strength of these insects was not as strong as that of the high-ranking orcs, they had the advantage of overwhelming numbers and were not afraid of injury or sacrifice. They didn't even have the instinct to survive, as though they were controlled puppets.

Griffin, the headmaster of Tiandu Academy, also noticed this. He furrowed his brows and felt that these insects were here to test the combat strength of humans and orcs.

"Test?" Winter Sisi snorted coldly, "I'd like to see who dares to test."

As her words fell, she held a golden longsword in her right hand, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from her body, forming a ten-meter-long blade edge.

"Judgment!"

"Holy Light Sword of Exorcism!"

Winter Sisi shouted angrily, golden beams of light converging on the longsword, eventually forming a huge golden sword, slashing forward. The golden light column tore through the air, emitting a piercing sonic boom, cutting through the swarm and cleaving a large number of insects in half.

Winter Sisi's attack was extremely destructive, as the golden sword energy swept across the area.

"Insects are just insects, no matter what, they're nothing more than large bugs." Looking at the corpses on the ground, Winter Sisi shook her head and sneered disdainfully.

"White Stork Knights, follow me, kill!"

"Kill!"

...

The White Stork Knights rushed into the swarm, cutting the insects into pieces.

"Kill!"

"Charge!"

...

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Shouts resounded one after another as the White Stork Knights wielded their weapons and fought valiantly.The light columns kept hitting the swarm one after another, and they could see the insects exploding one by one, blood and entrails splattering all over the ground, with many corpses of the insect race being trampled into a bloody mess.

"Ugh!"

The students of Tian Dou Academy felt their stomachs churning at the sight of the corpses on the ground, unable to help but vomit. A strong acid odor hit them in the face.

"So disgusting." Betty covered her nose and mouth, saying disgustedly.

"So disgusting, too disgusting!"

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't stand it."

...

"Ugh, ugh..."

Many girls turned pale and started vomiting. Some even directly leaned in the corner and started puking, looking nauseated.

"Ugh!"

This time, not only girls, but some boys couldn't help but vomit as well.

The bloody scene made the students of Tian Dou Academy feel uneasy.

Only Dominia's situation was relatively better. Headmaster Griffin beside her showed a look of appreciation in his eyes and secretly thought, "She's really impressive for surviving the previous secret realm. I'm sure this extremely bloody scene is not her first encounter."

...

Outside the corridor, a queen insect was constantly receiving information and transmitting it to the insect king.

"Order the insect soldiers to withdraw, no need to resist," the insect king pondered for a moment and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The queen insect answered respectfully.

"This battle doesn't involve demons and angels. Those guys from the Divine Demon Continent are bound to lose."
