This golden horn was obtained by Qi Chuan using the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder, under harsh conditions, after killing a Tier Five demon corpse for a full half-year. It can be considered a Tier Five object.
After taking it out, Qi Chuan glanced at it a few times before sticking it to his forehead.
Influenced by the demonic aura emitted by the golden horn, combined with Qi Chuan’s entirely humanoid physical form, he seemed to transform instantly into a highly prestigious demon in the Demon City.
Afterwards, Qi Chuan fully activated his Concealing Breath Divine Techniques, maximizing the concealment of all spiritual power fluctuations in his body.
For a moment, Qi Chuan appeared like a mortal without any magical cultivation, with only a dense demonic aura clinging to him due to the influence of the golden horn on his head.
"This looks rather convincing."
After surveying himself a few times, Qi Chuan smiled slightly.
Then he looked up at the Demon City on the plains ahead, leaping from the mountain peak and swiftly heading toward it.
The Demon City wasn’t far away.
Before long, Qi Chuan was near the Demon City.
Walking down the street outside the Demon City, passing demons, whether of high status or low, stopped and stared at Qi Chuan with utter shock.
The expression in their eyes was filled with horror.
Because they had never seen such a noble demon. Apart from the golden horn on his forehead, they found no non-human characteristics on this Upper-Tier Demon Race being.
This was unprecedented.
Even their City Lord’s body couldn’t achieve this degree!
"Gibberish..."
"Gibberish..."
Qi Chuan heard some demons in the distance whispering, as if quietly discussing him.
Of course, it wasn’t that this was how they communicated.
It’s just that Qi Chuan didn’t understand the demon language, so it didn’t sound much different to him.
At this moment, Qi Chuan finally stopped.
Because in front of him, a Tier Three Upper Grade demon was blocking the way. It wasn’t actively blocking him, rather it was frightened by his form, standing there dazedly, staring at him.
"Hmm."
Seeing this scene, Qi Chuan made a light sound of discontent, his face darkening.
Now he was preparing to infiltrate the Demon City and didn’t speak the demon language, so it wouldn’t be good if he was exposed. The most crucial thing now was to establish authority.
Thus, Qi Chuan flew forward, gripping the neck of this Tier Three Upper Grade demon with one hand.
"Gagging..."
This Tier Three Upper Grade demon looked rather like a female with an unusually long neck, like that of a swan, exuding an elegant aura.
At this moment, the demon’s neck was clutched in Qi Chuan’s hand, its snow-white face full of terror and panic.
At first glance, the face appeared quite beautiful.
Unfortunately, the demon had three eyes...
And only one nostril...
Taking a glance, Qi Chuan’s expression sank. He increased his grip, shattering the demon’s neck.
He then released his hand.
The demon’s body fell slowly to the ground, lifeless.
Although the demon was a Tier Three Upper Grade, and Qi Chuan didn’t use any mana at all.
But don’t forget, Qi Chuan’s physical body is that of a Tier Four Middle Stage Body Cultivator!
With the power of the physical body alone, he could defeat a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.
Crushing a Tier Three Upper Grade demon was no challenge, done easily.
"Huh!"
Seeing Qi Chuan crush a Tier Three Upper Grade demon’s neck with one hand, all the surrounding demons were filled with terror, bowing and kneeling before Qi Chuan, not daring to look at him again.
Originally, they thought Qi Chuan was an Upper-Tier Demon Race merely based on his appearance.
His act of crushing a Tier Three Upper Grade demon further proved this in terms of strength.
In their hearts, no doubt remained about Qi Chuan’s identity.
"Hmm."
Qi Chuan slightly raised his chin, feigning pride and superiority, walking past the kneeling demons one by one.
Once Qi Chuan had moved some distance away, these demons fearfully stood up again.
Soon, Qi Chuan arrived at the entrance of the Demon City.
Outside the city gate, two rows of Demon City soldiers were checking the identities of incoming and outgoing demons, while extorting money.
Seeing Qi Chuan approach, they immediately stepped aside with nods and bows, not daring to check his identity.
The soldiers too had seen Qi Chuan’s display from afar.
First, they had no doubt about his identity.
Second, even if they did doubt, they lacked the strength to verify it.
It’s laughable—if a Tier Three Upper Grade demon was instantly crushed, how would these soldiers dare check this noble lord’s identity?
Qi Chuan was very satisfied with the soldiers’ behavior, patting one who looked like a captain on the shoulder with a proud expression.
Then Qi Chuan walked under the city gate, looking up, and found a High Tier demon artifact positioned at the center. It looked like a compass with nine corners, exuding a peculiar aura.
At this moment, as Qi Chuan approached the city gate, the artifact glowed, projecting a black light toward him.
This caused Qi Chuan’s expression to darken slightly.
He had seen this artifact from the previous mountain peak.
It was clearly used to detect abnormal energies in the Demon City. His hidden spiritual power fluctuations were distinct from demonic energy, making him likely to be detected.
The formation of the Demon City was due to the unique characteristics of the earth veins, constructing a presence similar to a High Tier Array.
If detected, though he could force his way into the city, it would be troublesome and much less efficient.
His chances of obtaining Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearls in the Kunlun Demon Realm could be greatly diminished.
This was something Qi Chuan didn’t want to see.
But now, Qi Chuan had no other way, and could only let the black light released by the demon artifact strike him.
When the black light enveloped him, Qi Chuan felt as though his Nascent Soul in his Dantian slightly trembled.
And at this moment, the black light covering his body began surging, seemingly trying to penetrate his body through his pores, seeking out the hidden spiritual power within him.
Seeing this, Qi Chuan took a deep breath, preparing to act.
However, just as he was about to expose himself and forcefully breach the city, the golden horn on his forehead emitted a faint aura.
The black light covering Qi Chuan’s body recoiled as if frightened upon encountering this aura, becoming still before rapidly retreating.
In just an instant, it retreated back into the demon artifact perched above the city gate.
"This..."
Witnessing this, Qi Chuan was slightly stunned.
"So this golden horn has such a use?"
Qi Chuan was indeed very surprised.
Initially, he had affixed this golden horn to his brow just to disguise himself as a demon to infiltrate the city.
As for the detection artifact at the gate, he only harbored a faint hope of bypassing it with his profound Concealing Breath Divine Techniques.
If he could bypass it, all would be well.
If not, he was prepared to forcefully breach the city.
Unexpectedly, it was actually the Tier Five golden horn on his forehead that played a crucial role in the end.
