A strange tone sounded in his ears.
Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat. While maintaining his composure, he turned around and looked at the two Bone Demon Beast Half-Demons walking over from the right.
Su Jingxing could understand the Half-Demon's language.
This was one of the gains from watching the memories of Baletudor.
But he couldn't speak it.
It was the same with the demon slaves. He could understand but couldn't speak.
Their speech was not caused by the vibration of their vocal cords. Su Jingxing did not understand the principle behind it, so he naturally could not speak.
As such, when the two Half-Demons walked towards him, all Su Jingxing could do was remain vigilant and chose to keep silent.
"I'm asking you a question. Are you mute?"
Of the two Half-Demons who had come over, the one on the left was slightly taller. At this moment, it was "glaring" at Su Jingxing with his dancing flame eyes.
"What did you guys find on the other side of the Door of Darkness? Any gains? How many humans did you kill?"
Su Jingxing remained silent.
His gaze quickly scanned his surroundings to determine the number of demon slaves and Half-Demons.
After all, this was the entrance to the Door of Darkness. There were hundreds of demon slaves and more than ten Half-Demons gathered nearby.
As for the Half-Demon Overlords, he hadn't discovered any yet.
"Baletudor!"
Seeing that Su Jingxing didn't react, the taller Half-Demon yelled again, "What are you looking at, id*ot? Didn't you hear…"
"This is not Baletudor!"
The shorter Half-Demon on the right suddenly shouted, "It's not Baletudor! Grab…"
Bang!
There was an explosion.
Before the shorter Half-Demon could finish its sentence, its entire body exploded, and countless bone fragments flew everywhere.
[Card1]
Wisps of demonic energy rose.
With a surprise attack, Su Jingxing killed the shorter Half-Demon with a punch. Then, without stopping, he charged towards the taller Half-Demon.
"You…"
Bang!
Another explosion.
He was too fast. The taller Half-Demon was also blasted into pieces before it could even scream.
Swoosh!
In a flash, he charged towards the group of demon slaves not far away.
Swish!
Saber light bloomed and saber energy swept out.
In a fraction of a second, Su Jingxing took out his divine weapon, the Wandering Dragon Saber. He circulated his mutated true essence and executed the Three Origins Saber Art on the group of demon slaves.
Upwind Single Slash!
Sweeping River Army Slash!
Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The saber beam was dazzling, and the saber energy continued, drowning all the demon slaves and Half-Demons.
In less than two breaths, the area around the Door of Darkness was swept clean. The demon slaves and Half-Demons were all wiped out.
[Card12]
The bones that filled the sky scattered in the air like snowflakes.
Su Jingxing held the Wandering Dragon Saber in his hand and stood rooted to the ground in silence.
Something is wrong!
Something is wrong!
Impressive…
"Hmm, there's another one?"
Suppressing his surprise, Su Jingxing pushed off the tip of his toes and darted out at lightning speed, chasing after a Half-Demon.
No, not an ordinary Half-Demon, but a Half-Demon Overlord.
In terms of height and size, the Half-Demon Overlord was much more outstanding, not to mention that it had armor to protect itself.
Swish!
Saber light flashed.
Su Jingxing swung the Wandering Dragon Saber at the fleeing Half-Demon Overlord.
The saber energy was like a rainbow, tearing through the air. In less than half a second, it had caught up to the Half-Demon Overlord.
Boom!
There was an explosion.
The armor on this unknown Half-Demon Overlord's body shattered, its bones broke, and its entire body also turned into bone fragments that filled the sky. It was deader than dead.
[Card1]
A notification flashed past.
Su Jingxing held the Wandering Dragon Saber in his hand and stopped in place, his eyes filled with surprise.
Something is indeed wrong!
He was a little too powerful!
He killed a Half-Demon Overlord with one slash.
This strength was a little beyond his expectations.
Previously, the Essence Soul had spent a lot of effort using the Wandering Dragon Saber to fight the Half-Demon Overlord, Augsabel.
Although the defense armor of the Half-Demon Overlord was not as strong as the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, it was not that weak to allow the body to explode with one slash.
The Essence Soul couldn't do it, but the main body succeeded.
What is the reason?
Transcendent-grade physical body, or… mutated true essence?
Su Jingxing pondered.
Moments later, he put away the Wandering Dragon Saber and moved.
No matter what the reason was, becoming stronger was always a good thing.
According to Baletudor's memories, the Demon Soul Fruit Trees were located in the Demon Cloud Forest on the True Demon Mountain.
The True Demon Mountain where the Bone Demon resided was more than a thousand miles away from the Door of Darkness.
The three Ancient Demons of the Little Demon World were the Bone Demon, the Snake Demon, and the Sword Demon.
Every Ancient Demon owned a True Demon Mountain.
A large number of Half-Demons and demon slaves were gathered on and below the True Demon Mountain.
Therefore, if he wanted to go up the mountain and get close to the Demon Soul Fruit Trees, he had to be invisible.
Su Jingxing had two Invisibility Cards, so he didn't have to worry too much.
After the three-minute duration of the Heavenly Demon Card ended, he took out the Invisibility Card with a 30-minute duration and unlocked it. He then applied it to his body and instantly disappeared without a trace. His aura was also concealed.
However, the effects were not as thorough as the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique.
Therefore, while Su Jingxing remained invisible, he circulated the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique to hide any aura or vital energy fluctuations.
After finding his direction, he soared into the sky and headed straight for the True Demon Mountain.
He did not fly at the speed of sound and directly traversed through space.
In his invisible state, his body turned incorporeal again. The two powers overlapped to ensure that no one would discover him as he moved through space.
It didn't take long for him to cover a thousand miles.
The True Demon Mountain that the Ancient Bone Demon was located was a huge mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles.
The location where the Demon Soul Fruit Trees grew, the Demon Cloud Forest, was located on one of the peaks.
Su Jingxing first flew above the Demon Cloud Forest and found the exact location of six Demon Soul Fruit Trees. After confirming that the Demon Soul Fruits were not ripe yet, he slowed down.
There was no telling when the Demon Soul Fruits would ripen.

He only knew that it would be soon.
Soon, but even the Bone Demon didn't know how long it would take.
Therefore, in his invisible and ethereal state, Su Jingxing avoided the Half-Demons in the Demon Cloud Forest and chose to hide in the crown of a dense ancient tree. He waited patiently.
To prevent the demonic creatures from passing through the dark door and entering the Demon's Den again, the Essence Soul in the Yu Nation's Void World descended and traversed through space to pick up the Blood Doppelganger that was rushing back and bring it to Dongting Mountain.
The Essence Soul returned to the Void World to guard it, while the Blood Doppelganger went to the bottom of the Demon's Den to guard the Door of Darkness.
After all, Su Jingxing had killed a team of demon slaves, a dozen Half-Demons, and a Half-Demon Overlord.
After the Bone Demon Beasts discovered that, in their rage, there was a 90% chance that they would pass through the Door of Darkness.
However, things developed beyond Su Jingxing's expectations.
Nothing happened.
The Blood Doppelganger guarded the Door of Darkness for several days, and no Half-Demons or demon slaves had passed through it.
It seemed that no one… no, none of the demons cared about the whereabouts of the Half-Demons and demon slaves that Su Jingxing had killed.
This surprised Su Jingxing and amused him.
Indeed, according to Baletuodor's memories, demon slaves would fight and devour each other. Although Half-Demons were slightly better, their relationship was only average. As long as they did not affect other demons, no demon would care about them.
Unless the Half-Demon Overlord above forcefully gave an order.
This saved Su Jingxing a lot of trouble.
In the crown of the ancient tree, less than 200 meters away, he locked onto a Demon Soul Fruit Tree and waited for its fruits to fully ripen.
…
Furious Dragon River.
The longest river in the Eastern Continent ran through three countries.
Among them was a section of the border between Zheng Nation and Wei Nation.
The north of the river was the Wei Nation, and the south of the river was the Zheng Nation.
At this moment, downstream of the waters of the Furious Dragon River in the Zheng Nation and Wei Nation, in the depths of a mountain peak that was hundreds of meters deep and close to the river.
"Hmph, I knew that Kong fellow was up to no good!"
Luo Ao looked at the extremely quiet Demon's Den and sneered. "Where is there any sign of a commotion?"
"Don't be careless."
On the side, the Wei Nation's Martial Sage shook his head and said softly, "Although the Demon's Den here hasn't erupted, the aura at the bottom is indeed stronger than before."
"That's the movement of demonic energy. It's been thousands of years, when hasn't it been like this?" Luo Ao disagreed.
As the Martial Sage of the Zheng Nation, it was his duty. After receiving Su Jingxing's reminder, Luo Ao immediately rushed to the Demon's Den that was located at the border between the Zheng Nation and the Wei Nation to check on the situation.
In the end, nothing happened. The Demon's Den was very stable.
Luo Ao quickly left and returned to Zheng Nation.
This time, Wei Nation's Martial Sage was alarmed and invited him over again to check on the situation. Just in case, he made another trip.
The martial arts cultivated by the Martial Sage of the Wei Nation were somewhat special. He could forebode some important matters.
It was precisely because he sensed danger coming from the Demon's Den that the two of them came to investigate.
"It's different."
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage pondered. "It's different this time. Something is very wrong."
"Maybe you're thinking too much, or maybe you were frightened by that Kong fellow."
Luo Ao sneered. "When the Demon's Den on his side rioted, he suspected that ours would do the same. That's complete nonsense! The Demon's Dens are not connected, so how could it be possible for a commotion in one place to lead to that in the other places as well?
"In my opinion, everyone has been fooled by that Kong fellow! It's understandable that there are demonic creatures in the Devil's Den, but all that talk about the Door of Darkness is pure nonsense…"
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and the entire mountain shook.
In the calm passageway of the Demon's Den, surging demonic energy surged out like smoke signals, sweeping through the underground space.
"Impossible!"
Luo Ao's eyes widened in shock. "That Kong fellow is telling the truth. The Demon's Den is really in chaos!"
"If it's just the demonic energy surging, it won't affect us much, but if…"
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage did not finish his sentence.
But Luo Ao could tell what he meant.
When demonic energy raged, it would at most contaminate the entire mountain.
However, if the demonic creatures were to riot and crawl out of the Demon's Den, things would be troublesome.
"Demonic creatures, are there really demonic creatures?"
murmured Luo Ao, his gaze fixed on the Demon's Den.
From above, they avoided the impact of the demonic energy and looked down at the movements in the passageway.
Hu hu hu!
Masses of demonic energy spewed out non-stop.
Luo Ao and the Wei Nation's Martial Sage glowed to resist the invasion of the demonic energy.
The two of them guarded the entrance of the Demon's Den and kept their eyes on the passageway.
Finally——
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
A strange sound like a snake spitting out its tongue came from the passageway of the Demon's Den. It was getting closer and closer.
Boom!
Accompanied by a foul smell, a huge figure darted out from the cave and attacked Luo Ao.
Swoosh!
Without moving, Luo Ao released a ray of sword energy from his body and struck the figure that was charging towards him.
Bang!
The air exploded and light burst out.
The huge figure was sent flying by the immense force and crashed into the cave wall, creating a pit.
When it slid down the cave wall, its entire appearance was revealed.
The lower half of the snake's body and the upper limbs of a human. It had arms, but above them was the head of a snake, the neck of a cobra, and the back of the head was arched.
Its huge body was mainly more than 20 meters long and bloated. At this moment, it was coiled up and sticking out its long snake tongue. Its cold gaze was fixed on Luo Ao and his companion.
Roar!
With a long roar, from the passageway, another one…
No, two, three figures.
As soon as these three figures appeared, they pounced at Luo Ao and company.
Together with the Snake Demon Beast guarding at the side, there were a total of four demonic creatures. They surrounded the duo and launched an attack.
"Kill them!"
Luo Ao shouted angrily. Sword beams bloomed around him as sword energy shot out.
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage was about the same. His figure flashed as he charged left and right with two crescent blades in hand.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
Sword beam, saber beam, sword energy, and saber energy filled the underground space.
Although the four demonic creatures had astonishing defense, they were still no match for Luo Ao and company. They were slashed into pieces one after another, becoming deader than dead.
The overflowing demonic energy lingered in the air for a long time.
"D*mned demonic creatures."
Retracting his sword energy, Luo Ao lowered his head and looked down at the Demon's Den. He focused his vision and pointed at the bottom of the den.
Soon, his expression turned grim. "There are many more of these snake demons below. We can't let them come up!"
With that, he jumped into the den.
Buzz!
The air rattled as sword beams bloomed.
Materialized sword energy surrounded Luo Ao's body and wrapped around him. As he fell, he crashed into the Snake Demon Beasts climbing up.
In an instant——
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The blade-like sword energy spun rapidly and killed many beasts.
Luo Ao endured the pressure and sliced his way to the bottom of the den.
Everywhere it passed, the Snake Demon Beasts were dismembered inch by inch, and blood splattered on the walls.
The demonic energy that seeped out filled the entire corridor.
It wasn't until he passed through the passageway and stepped onto the bottom of the Demon's Den, standing on the piles of Snake Demon Beast corpses and looking into the distance that Luo Ao's pupils constricted.
Swoosh!
The saber beam passed through the passageway of the Demon's Den.
The Martial Sage of Wei came chasing after him.
"Brother Luo, are you alright?"
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage looked around and said, "We don't know where these snake demons came from. If we don't figure it out…"
His words trailed off.
His eyes widened as he followed Luo Ao's gaze and looked towards a tall black door in the distance of underground space where they were. He became stunned.
"Re… really?"
The Martial Sage of the Wei Nation gritted his teeth and came back to his senses. He said in shock, "The new Martial Sage of the Yu Nation, Kong Xuan, was telling the truth. There is really a Door of Darkness under every Demon's Den!"
…
The Void World.
Yu Nation's region.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul thought about what martial art to create.
A sudden thought came to him. Why should I lean towards a certain attribute or ability?
Why can't this martial art contain everything?
That's right. After much thought, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul abandoned all the concepts it had come up with during this period of time.
Instead, it put all its ideas together.
Like the sea, it contained everything.
All rivers flow into the sea!
In any case, it's just a theory. Why not give it a try?
At the thought of this, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul held back its excitement and following the final idea that had been confirmed, it extended and supplemented logically.
Half an hour later, the theory was completed!

Chapter 365: Destroy a Planet? (1)
When Su Jingxing destroyed the various strongholds of the Xia Family in the Yu Nation, apart from obtaining the Mighty Strength Cards and Martial Arts Practice Cards from a pile of barbarian corpses, he also obtained a pile of Internal Force Cards, Skill Cards, True Energy Cards, True Essence Cards, Equipment Cards, and even Deduction Cards.
Although the Xia Family had colluded with the New Chu Nation, there were also geniuses among them who created their own martial arts.
After these people died, the cards extracted from their corpses were Deduction Cards.
There weren't many, only five of them.
However, there were a total of 20 deductions, with chances of success ranging from one-sixth to one-third.
At this moment, Su Jingxing had completed his self-created martial arts theory. Without batting an eyelid, he took out these five Deduction Cards and began deducing silently.
When the Deduction Card was used to deduce martial arts, it was only done in Su Jingxing's sea of consciousness.
There were no abnormal phenomena or movements outside.
It was highly unlikely that he could successfully deduce such a martial arts theory that contained everything.
Su Jingxing was mentally prepared for this.
Not to mention 20 times, even 100 or 200 times might not be enough.
However, the outcome was beyond Su Jingxing's expectations.
He actually succeeded on his 19th deduction!
However, Su Jingxing sensed that it was a little different from the theory he had created. It was not complete.
Because he wanted to take in everything, Su Jingxing named this martial art Vast Ocean.
Therefore, after carefully sensing it, he confirmed that the created Vast Ocean was only the beginning.
Or rather, there was only the first volume, the first level…
The martial art, Vast Ocean, could still continue to be deduced!
He had a total of 20 chances and used 19 of them this time.
The last time, Su Jingxing used it to deduce Vast Ocean. As expected, it could still continue, even though the result was, as expected, a failure.
However, Su Jingxing unlocked a True Essence Card with six years of cultivation and tried to absorb and convert it.
It was successfully transformed into mutated true essence!
It was just that the cultivation had been compressed by about ten times.
In other words, six years of true essence cultivation would only be 0.6 years of Vast Ocean True Essence.
Although it wasn't a 100% conversion rate like before, Su Jingxing was very satisfied that it could be converted.
Glancing at the wisps of demonic energy floating around him, Su Jingxing's heart stirred. He absorbed a wisp of demonic energy into his body and circulated Vast Ocean to try to refine it.
And it turned out…
Successfully achieved, turning the demonic energy into Vast Ocean True Essence!
"Hahaha!"
Su Jingxing laughed excitedly.
Demonic energy could actually be refined. As expected of Vast Ocean, it could absorb any energy and convert it for his own use.
Of course, just the first volume or the first level of the Vast Sea shouldn't contain everything for now.
However, Su Jingxing was already overjoyed that he could absorb the demonic energy.
The method to refine demonic energy had long been lost.
Now that the Vast Ocean could do it, it would certainly be an ultimate genius technique.
The Little Demon World was filled with demonic energy, and the demonic energy on the True Demon Mountain was even denser.
If it weren't for the Ancient Demons, Half-Demons, and other such demonic creatures, Su Jingxing might be able to let go and devour freely, and the Vast Ocean True Essence obtained might reach a few hundred…
No, a few thousand years of cultivation?
Currently, the cultivation level of the Vast Ocean True Essence was only 300 years. It was from before the sanctification of his physical body.
Su Jingxing wasn't sure if he could refine it again.
Such mutated true essence was several times stronger than the Heaven Trampling True Essence from before, and its ability had also changed.
Su Jingxing had to verify more details.
Naturally, he couldn't do that now. He had to hide on the tree and wait for the Demon Soul Fruits to ripen.
The demonic energy around him fluttered. Su Jingxing resisted it with great determination and did not absorb it.
The Demon Soul Fruits were about to ripen.
The word "about" was an unknown length.
A day passed, and they were still the same. Two days passed, and they were still the same.
The third day, the fourth day…
Finally, on the fifth day, a huge aura swept down from True Demon Mountain and arrived at the Demon Cloud Forest. It stopped under the sixth tree in the center of the six Demon Soul Fruit Trees.
These six Demon Soul Fruit Trees were not together.
Instead, there was one in the center and five in a circle around it.
However, the distance between each Demon Soul Fruit Tree was perfectly equal, about a hundred meters.
Clearly, this was deliberately arranged.
The goal was to gather the mysterious power released by the Demon Soul Fruit Trees when the fruits ripened for the Bone Demon to absorb.
The Bone Demon that had come from the top of True Demon Mountain to the center of the Demonic Soul Fruit Trees was clearly exposed in Su Jingxing's field of vision.
Compared to the Half-Demon Overlord, the Bone Demon that had lived for countless years was not only more than ten meters tall, the armor on its body also covered its entire body. Only a pair of flames that represented its soul was revealed, dancing in its dark eyes.
There wasn't much demonic energy around it, perhaps it had restrained it.
Su Jingxing didn't look at it much. He only took a few glances before looking away.
As one of the three Ancient Demons, the strength of the Bone Demon comparable to the Primordial Spirit realm, its perception was definitely powerful.
One would be discovered if a few more glances at such an existence.
Su Jingxing's goal was to seize the Demon Soul Fruits and destroy the Demon Soul Fruit Trees, not to annihilate the Bone Demon.
As such, he shifted his gaze to the other Demon Soul Fruit Trees and got ready.
On the same arc, each of the five Demon Soul Fruit Trees on the periphery bore as many as nine fruits.
Su Jingxing planned out the method of seizing in his mind. He only had three seconds.
So he would pluck two Demon Soul Fruits from each tree, making ten from five trees.
At the same time, he would destroy the Demon Soul Fruit Trees!
He confirmed his plan.
Su Jingxing took out the Invisibility Card with a 60-minute duration and held it in his hand, preparing to unlock it.
The Bone Demon descended from the mountain peak and waited under the Demon Soul Fruit Tree in the center.

Without a doubt, the Demon Soul Fruits were finally about to ripen.
Indeed.
Early the next morning, in the sky above the Little Demon World, the branches of the huge tree that blotted out the sky suddenly trembled. The shadows of the trees were overlapped, and emitted a purple halo.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The air trembled.
Affected by the giant tree in the sky, all the Demon Soul Fruit Trees on the three True Demon Mountain emitted light at the same time.
A special fragrance wafted out from the trees.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In Su Jingxing's vision, the glows emitted by the six Demon Soul Fruit Trees was connected.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a ray of white light, a mysterious aura that penetrated straight into one's soul and made one want to groan appeared in the ring of the six Demon Soul Fruit Trees enveloped in light.
Under the Demon Soul Fruit Tree in the center, the tall Bone Demon's body glowed with a black light as it began to absorb this mysterious aura.
The moment the Bone Demon began the absorption, Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat.
An invisible sense of danger emerged out of thin air.
Before this, Su Jingxing didn't feel much danger when the Bone Demon appeared.
At this moment, it suddenly erupted without any warning.
That mysterious aura was extremely powerful!
He could not let the Bone Demon successfully absorb it!
Su Jingxing stabilized his breathing and heartbeat. He quickly unlocked the Invisibility Card and applied it to his body.
Then——
Swoosh!
His speed instantly erupted to the maximum as he rushed towards the nearest Demon Soul Fruit Tree. He stretched out both hands at the same time, picking two Demon Soul Fruits with one hand and circulating the Vast Ocean True Essence with the other to bombard the Demon Soul Fruit Trees with the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
First, there was an explosion, then four.
Five loud bangs sounded almost at the same time.
Accompanying the sounds was a bolt of lightning that circled around the arrangement of the five Demon Soul Fruit Trees and disappeared into the Demon Cloud Forest.
He took one second to pluck ten Demon Soul Fruits and destroy five Demon Soul Fruit Trees.
In his invisible state, he traversed through space and distanced himself from the True Demon Mountain while devouring the ten Demon Soul Fruits. This took him two seconds.
In three seconds, Su Jingxing left a hundred miles away from True Demon Mountain and swallowed the Demon Soul Fruits.
As soon as the ten Demon Soul Fruits entered his stomach, a warm aura spread from his stomach to his entire body.
Under this aura, Su Jingxing's physical body silently underwent a further transformation.
This transformation was very magical. It was actually exactly the same as the process of sanctifying his physical body.
Even though a small portion of it had been converted into soul power and stored in his consciousness as it passed through his brain,
most of it was used on his body. From the inside out, from top to bottom, every cell was repeatedly tempered, strengthened, and transformed.
Su Jingxing, who was traveling through the air, was originally invisible. At this moment, his invisibility lost effect. His entire body was transparent one moment and corporeal the next.
One moment, he passed through the air silently, the next, he emitted a dazzling golden-red glow.
"Hmph!"
A dull and suppressed shout suddenly sounded, echoing within the radius of a thousand miles.
Before Su Jingxing could finish digesting and absorbing the energy produced by the Demon Soul Fruit,
on the True Demon Mountain, the huge body of the Bone Demon soared into the sky.
Boom!
Space shattered with a deafening bang.
The Bone Demon wrapped in surging black demonic energy passed through the air and arrived above Su Jingxing's head in an instant.
The terrifying pressure was vast and mighty, as if the sky had collapsed and was pressing down.
Su Jingxing, who's body was transforming, was suppressed. He was forced to stop flying and fall to the ground.
However, the moment he landed, Su Jingxing continued to dash off at lightning speed, breaking away from the Bone Demon's suppression and rushing towards the Door of Darkness.
The Bone Demon could not pass through the Door of Darkness.
As long as he left the Little Demon World, Su Jingxing would be able to successfully escape.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that eating the Demon Soul Fruit had caused his body to change and produce a strange phenomena,
no matter how furious the Bone Demon was, it wouldn't be able to discover Su Jingxing.
In addition, this fellow actually did not go to the Snake Demos and Sword Demon to seize their Demon Soul Fruit Trees.
Instead, it immediately chased after Su Jingxing.
Is killing me more important than breaking through its current realm and leaving the Little Demon World?
Su Jingxing complained inwardly and began crossing space again.
Boom!
Space shattered.
Su Jingxing was struck by a powerful force and staggered backward.
With a bang, he crashed into a desolate mountain, creating a huge pit.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A golden-red glow flickered on his body, and a warm aura melted by itself in his stomach.
Out of the ten Demon Soul Fruits, only the energy from nine had been absorbed.
The last one dissolved itself. Clearly, he had eaten too much and was no longer effective.
At this moment, Su Jingxing had finished absorbing the energy from the nine Demon Soul Fruits. His entire body was emitting a golden-red glow. His mouth, eyes, nose, and ears were also emitting light.
Even though he crashed into the mountain and created a huge pit, he was not injured at all.
He straightened up and stood up again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
His exhaled breaths turned into arrows, and his entire body glowed.
A terrifying force coursed through his entire body.
At this moment, the illusion from this burst in strength made Su Jingxing feel like he could destroy a planet!
"Human, spiritual martial arts!"
A hoarse, dull, angry, and shocked voice sounded in Su Jingxing's mind.
The Bone Demon stood in the air, its burning eyes fixed on Su Jingxing. Demonic energy swirled around it.
"Human spiritual martial arts?"
Su Jingxing clenched his fists and felt the explosive power on his body. His glowing eyes looked straight at the Bone Demon in the air and also sent a voice transmission with his thoughts. "What human spiritual martial arts?"
The invisible danger that appeared a moment ago when the Bone Demon absorbed the mysterious aura emitted by the Demon Soul Fruit Tree had disappeared without a trace as his strength soared.
In other words, the current Su Jingxing need not fear the Bone Demon!
This feeling was strange, magical, but real.
"You don't know?"
The flames in the Bone Demon's eyes flickered rapidly.
Strangely, it did not attack immediately. Instead, it continued to transmit its voice.
"Don't you know about the changes in your physical body?"
"I do," Su Jingxing replied. "But I only know that I'm very, very strong now, yet I don't know exactly how strong I am, nor have I heard of any spiritual martial arts."
"…Spiritual martial arts is a cultivation method for humans. It's a very difficult path."
The Bone Demon paused for a moment and continued to transmit its voice. "I don't know the exact details either. I only know that it's rare for a Spiritual Martial to be born in dozens of human worlds.
"Spiritual martial arts are mainly reflected in the physical body. The power controlled is called spiritual essence, and the initial realm is called Essence Opening.
"Take you for example. You should be in the second class of the Essence Opening realm now…"
As soon as it finished speaking, the Bone Demon suddenly moved. It tore through space and descended above Su Jingxing's head. Its huge bone claw grabbed down from the sky.
Boom boom boom!
The air exploded and energy danced.
Su Jingxing clenched his fists and instinctively raised them above his head before throwing a punch.
Bam!
A loud bang spread for a thousand miles.
The golden-red fist imprint clashed head-on with the bone claw, forcefully pushing the bone claw away and causing the Bone Demon's body to sway.
But soon, the Bone Demon slapped down again. The huge other bone claw emitted a dark glow and blocked all of Su Jingxing's escape routes.
Boom!
Su Jingxing circulated his Vast Ocean True Essence and used the explosive method of the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist to meet the second bone claw and charge forward savagely.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Muffled explosions resounded continuously through the air.
The increasingly condensed fist imprint struck the bone claw. With two strange cracking sounds, it shattered the bone claw. It then brushed past the Bone Demon's chin and soared into the sky, heading straight for the sky of the Little Demon World.
Boom!
At the top of the sky, a dull and oppressive sound echoed under the dark clouds.
Roar!
The Bone Demon roared in shock and anger, "You're actually in the third class of the Essence Opening realm!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Su Jingxing ignored it. He circulated his Vast Ocean True Essence and swung his fists at the Bone Demon at close range again.
The Ancient Demon in the Primordial Spirit realm was forced to retreat step by step.
The armor on its body cracked inch by inch.
Hu hu hu!
The demonic energy around the Bone Demon swept towards Su Jingxing without stopping.
However, it was useless. They were all dissipated by the golden-red glow on Su Jingxing's body.
Vast Ocean had another ability, directly dissolve the demonic energy!
This ability reduced the might of the Bone Demon's trump card significantly.
As it retreated swiftly, its huge body quickly shrank.
As a result, its armor also shrank.
Su Jingxing's attack missed.
However, in the next second, he continued to lock onto its position and punched the Bone Demon's head…

Bang!
The Bone Demon's head exploded into countless pieces.
It shrunk to Su Jingxing's height and swayed as it fell to the ground.
Thump!
A dull thud reverberated in all directions.
Dead?
An Ancient Demon died just like that?
Its head exploded into countless pieces, and his bones and body fell apart.
The demonic energy on its body no longer condensed and spread out on its own.
The baneful aura, killing intent, and soul flames had all disappeared.
No matter how one looked at it, it was a scene of death.
If it were anyone else, they might have believed it.
However, Su Jingxing wasn't fooled because he didn't extract any cards!
The Bone Demon was also a lifeform, and an incomparably powerful one at that.
If such an existence really died, there would definitely be cards extracted.
But now, there was no movement at all.
Besides, the Bone Demon had "died" too easily.
Died just because your head exploded?
Who are you fooling?!
Bone Demon, Bone Demon.
What was a Bone Demon?
A demonic creature formed from bones!
Bones were the foundation of such demonic creatures. The head was just a large piece of bone.
Even the head of a Bone Demon Beast Half-Demon exploded, it would not die immediately, let alone a real Bone Demon?
This fellow was pretending to be dead!
Regardless of whether its goal was to ambush Su Jingxing or deceive him into escaping,
Su Jingxing was more than happy to cooperate.
He pretended to relax. As he exhaled, he circulated a hundred years of his Vast Ocean True Essence cultivation and gathered it in his palm. The moment he turned around, he suddenly struck out with his palm and struck the Bone Demon's body.
Under the dazzling golden-red light, most of the Bone Demon's body was reduced to dregs.
The remaining half of its body quickly turned illusory and soared into the sky.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Amidst the surging demonic energy, the remaining half of the body regenerated bones and a head at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than two seconds, the Bone Demon reappeared in midair. In its pitch-black eyes, soul flames danced violently as it stared fixedly at Su Jingxing.
Swish!
Without any nonsense, the skeleton body of the Bone Demon that had failed in its plan rushed towards Su Jingxing as it alternated swiftly between being illusory and corporeal.
The reconstructed bone claw tore through the air and cornered Su Jingxing from behind, launching a pincer attack.
Boom boom boom!
Su Jingxing punched out like a dragon, his Vast Ocean True Essence erupting with 200 years of cultivation.
Bam!
The Bone Demon's bone claw was completely shattered, and its illusory body was also penetrated, revealing a huge hole in its chest.
The reconstructed skeleton was once again covered in cracks and could shatter at any time.
Boom!
Whoosh!
With a single punch, it could no longer hold on and completely shattered.
However, in the next second, all the debris swarmed up to Su Jingxing and wrapped around him like iron pieces attracted by a magnet.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In all directions, in the soil, on the slopes, and underground, all the bones, whether they were complete bones or broken bones.
At this moment, under the guidance of an invisible force, they left their original spots and flew towards Su Jingxing, piecing together.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Pieces of bones and skeletons surrounded Su Jingxing tightly.
Su Jingxing swung his fists but missed.
Even when he released the Vast Ocean True Essence to cleanse his body, it was useless.
The golden-red glow that had been invincible a moment ago had also lost its effect.
On the contrary.
The Bone Demon that enveloped Su Jingxing began to move.
First, it restricted Su Jingxing's breathing. Then, it kept squeezing him from the outside to the inside. This squeezing was not only targeted at his physical body, but also his soul.
Its final wisp of aura kept stimulating Su Jingxing's consciousness and will, causing his mind to become dizzy and his will to die.
Without confidence, without mental strength, without the will to resist, and not even to live, he wanted to self-destruct and end everything.
Killing move.
This was the Bone Demon's true killing move!
A soft killing move that even a so-called spiritual martial artist in the third class could not avoid.
Su Jingxing sensed it immediately. He bit the tip of his tongue and resisted forcefully, thinking of a solution.
Originally, releasing Spirit Annihilation was the most suitable.
However, now that the Bone Demon's entire body was covering Su Jingxing, Su Jingxing would be in trouble if he released Spirit Annihilation.
Other martial arts were useless, and soul skills could not be used. As for the remaining secret abilities…
Heaven Trampling Elephant?
Yes, there was also Martial Art True Intent. After his physical body was sanctified, he had never used it again.
With the intention of counterattacking, Su Jingxing first activated his Martial Art True Intent, the Sishui Horned Dragon.
Roar!
A black demonic dragon snarled and appeared, charging at the bleak aura on the Bone Demon's body.
It actually successfully blocked the corrosion of the aura at the first moment.
The appearance of the Sishui Horned Dragon had also changed greatly compared to before. Now, it had become a black demonic dragon.
Pooo!
In Su Jingxing's pleasant surprise, an elephant cry sounded. The Heaven Trampling Elephant was visualized in his sea of consciousness to support the Sishui Horned Dragon in breaking through the dismal aura.
The Sishui Horned Dragon that had transformed into a black demonic dragon was even more lifelike than before. It transformed into a physical entity and charged towards the layers of bones and skeletons that wrapped around Su Jingxing's body.
The powerful squeezing force that the Bone Demon exerted on Su Jingxing was successfully stopped.
Finally!
His own Martial Art True Intent manifested!
Su Jingxing did not move. His Martial Art True Intent overlapped with his body.
Although they overlapped, Su Jingxing quickly discovered that his Martial Art True Intent was not restrained by the strange power of the Bone Demon.
His Martial Art True Intent was still free!
Sensing this, Su Jingxing's heart stirred as he sensed for the true core of the Bone Demon.
The Bone Demon core was indeed a bone, but it was impossible for every piece of bone to be a core.
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.
Report chapter
Only the most special piece was the core.
If he found this piece and crushed it into powder, the Bone Demon might really die.
Where is this bone?
Su Jingxing sensed for a while but did not find anything.
In the next second, he simply circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce it.
He found it this time!
Buzz!
Space shook.
Su Jingxing's Martial Art True Intent left his body without warning. It grabbed a bone fragment the size of a goose egg and took a few steps forward.
"Impossible!"
The Bone Demon's terrified voice sounded in Su Jingxing's mind.
"Nothing is impossible."
Su Jingxing growled.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Bone Demon was distracted, he executed the Demonic Elephant Physique and his body expanded with a bang, turning into a four-meter-tall giant that broke through the layers of bones wrapped around his body.
The moment he broke through, he released one shot of Spirit Annihilation.
At the same time, his self Martial Art True Intent threw a bone fragment the size of a goose egg at the right time. It was struck squarely by Spirit Annihilation.
"No—"
The Bone Demon's terrified scream cut off midway.
Under the impact of Spirit Annihilation, the goose egg-sized bone fragment instantly turned into countless tiny pieces.
As if it was raining, they slowly landed on the ground.
But!
The Bone Demon was still alive!
This ancient existence that had lived for an unknown period of time was still alive!
Su Jingxing still did not receive any extraction notifications.
This meant that even if the core bone turned into countless pieces like powder, the Bone Demon was still alive!
Swoosh!
Realizing this, Su Jingxing released the second shot of Spirit Annihilation without another word.
If one shot wasn't enough, two shots it shall be.
The second shot of Spirit Annihilation washed through the air and landed on the sheet of powdery fragments on the ground.
It directly destroyed all the fragments and wiped them out clean.
[Card1]
Dead!
This time, the Bone Demon was finally dead!
Hu!
Exhaling, Su Jingxing removed the Demonic Elephant Physique and shrunk back to his original size. He sat on the pile of bones on the ground and took out a large bottle of Strength Pills. He poured them into his mouth to replenish his body's energy.
Even though the side effects of using the Demonic Elephant Physique after his physical body reached the Transcendent-grade were very insignificant, as long as it was a side effect, Su Jingxing would not give it a chance to be strengthened.
It was just Strength Pills. He had plenty of them.
After finishing the large bottle of Strength Pills and replenishing his energy, Su Jingxing was back to his usual condition.
At this moment, he took out the card he had extracted and held it to read the information.
Memory Card!
The card extracted from the Bone Demon after its death actually contained just a segment of memories.
This was a Bone Demon, an ancient demonic creature. Even if were to drop an Equipment Card to give the function of the Bone Demon's core true body, that would be pretty good.
It's actually a Memory Card…
Su Jingxing shook his head and regretfully unlocked the card to browse through the Bone Demon's memories.
Once he began, his interest was piqued.
Although the Memory Card did not contain the lifetime memories of the Bone Demon, only more than 10,000 years of memories after the Bone Demon entered the Little Demon World,
the information revealed in these memories was an eye-opener for Su Jingxing.
Firstly, the establishment of the Little Demon World did not rely on the Bone Demon, the Snake Demon, and the Sword Demon. Instead, it relied on a tree branch.
A tree branch that fell from the World Tree!
It was this branch of the World Tree that supported the Little Demon World.
The giant tree in the sky that Su Jingxing saw was not a real giant tree, but a projection of this branch.
Its main body floated at the top of the sky.
Holding up an independent small world was the ability of this World Tree Branch.
The Bone Demon, the Snake Demon, and the Sword Demon had merely transformed this small world into a small demon world filled with demonic energy.
Of course, special methods were also required to use the World Tree Branch to support the small world.
Through the Bone Demon's memories, Su Jingxing successfully memorized this method.
In other words, as long as Su Jingxing obtained the World Tree Branch that floated at the top of the sky, he would be able to hold up an independent small world again.
Unfortunately, the Bone Demon, the Snake Demon, and the Sword Demon had set up a restriction at the peak of the sky.
This restriction covered the surroundings of the World Tree Branch and could not be forcefully broken.
Forcefully doing so would destroy the branch as well.
To get rid of the restrictions, the only way was to kill the three Ancient Demons——the Bone Demon, the Snake Demon, and the Sword Demon.
In other words, if the Bone Demon, the Snake Demon, and the Sword Demon were all dead, the restriction would automatically dissipate.
At this point, Su Jingxing sighed to himself.
Without this restriction, he would have directly stolen the World Tree Branch and quickly escaped the Little Demon World.
The Snake Demon, the Sword Demon, and the hundreds of millions of other Half-Demons and demon slaves would disappear into the void with the Little Demon World without him having to take action.
This was really a pity.
Secondly, as Ancient Demons, the Bone Demon knew the characteristics and weaknesses of the Snake Demon and Sword Demon very well.
This was a great thing for Su Jingxing.
With the true demons, every race had their own innate abilities.
The same went for the Bone Demon, the Snake Demon, and the Sword Demon.
Knowing the strengths of the Snake Demon and the Sword Demon, Su Jingxing could dodge their killing moves in advance.
Knowing their weaknesses, he could take the opportunity to kill them.
This saved Su Jingxing a lot of trouble in finding the Snake Demon and the Sword Demon subsequently.
It would take about three days for the Snake Demon and Sword Demon to absorb the mysterious power emitted by the Demon Soul Fruit Tree.
Therefore, Su Jingxing had plenty of time to slowly search for them.
The maturation of the Demon Soul Fruit Tree was also related to the World Tree Branch.
The Bone Demon, the Sword Demon, and the Snake Demon had calculated the time and stimulated the World Tree Branch which caused the Demon Soul Fruit Trees to completely mature.
In addition, if the Demon Soul Fruit Trees were destroyed, they could grow back.
Although the Demon Soul Fruits would be gone after that, the trees could still release mysterious power.
This was the reason why the Bone Demon did not seize the Demon Soul Fruit Trees from the Snake Demon and the Sword Demon after discovering that Su Jingxing had destroyed five of them and instead, pursued him.
Baletudor, an ordinary Half-Demon, had no idea about all this information.
Secondly, there was also how to create Half-Demons, forge the Door of Darkness, the different species of demons, the birth of demonic energy…
A bunch of secrets among secret information to Su Jingxing.
And finally, the information related to spiritual martial arts that the Bone Demon recalled!
Spiritual martial arts was a cultivation path created by human experts to become stronger.
Correspondingly, there was also divine martial arts.
In other words, it was the cultivation system where one condensed a Divine Embryo and hatched an Essence Soul. After going through the Void Soul, Soul Fixation, and Soul Formation stages, one would accomplish the Primordial Spirit.
Divine martial arts was also the main path to becoming stronger for the various human worlds in the universe.
This path was very wide and had existed for millions of years.
The Primordial Spirit realm was just the beginning.
Above the Primordial Spirit were the Soul Platform realm, Cloud Ascension realm…
In comparison, the path of spiritual martial arts was much more difficult.
Spiritual martial arts were mainly about the transformation of the physical body, repeated transformations.
Su Jingxing's physical body had been sanctified and he had stepped into the Transcendent-grade. In reality, this realm was called the Essence Opening realm. It was also just the beginning.
There were a total of nine classes in the Essence Opening realm.
With every transformation, one advanced to the next level.
Even though the Essence Opening realm was the beginning of spiritual martial arts,
compared to divine martial arts, the ninth class of the Essence Opening realm of spiritual martial arts was enough to match Primordial Spirit, Soul Platform, and Cloud Ascension realms of divine martial arts!
In other words, at the third class of the Essence Opening realm, one could contend against the Primordial Spirit realm.
This was also the reason why the Bone Demon that Su Jingxing could fight had no choice but to disintegrate and deal with Su Jingxing with its final killing move.
The power of spiritual martial arts was simply too strong.
The spiritual essence grasped could kill physical bodies, soul bodies, energy bodies, and many other existences.
The true essence that had mutated in Su Jingxing's dantian was called spiritual essence.
Of course, now that he had Vast Ocean, it was more appropriate to call it Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence.
In the spiritual martial arts system, when one was powerful, it was extremely difficult to improve.
Every transformation of the physical body required a large amount of spiritual essence.
And condensing spiritual essence was also extremely difficult.
In the Bone Demon's memories, for the spiritual essence that a human spiritual martial artist spends a thousand years to condense, a divine martial artist could cultivate the corresponding cultivation in ten years.
The difference in efficiency was a hundred times.
In other words, Su Jingxing's current 300 years of spiritual essence cultivation was equivalent to 30,000 years of cultivation for a divine martial artist!
No wonder he could rival the Primordial Spirit realm at the third class.
The difference in cultivation was too great.
Su Jingxing was speechless when he "saw" this.
Oh right, there's more!
The lifespan of a spiritual martial artist was not something that a divine martial artist could compare to.
Only when one reached the Primordial Spirit realm would their lifespan increase again, reaching 1,080 years.
On the other hand, spiritual martial artists in the first class of the Essence Opening realm could already live for 1,800 years!

In the second class of the Essence Opening realm, one's lifespan would increase again, reaching 3,600 years.
In the third class, the increase continues to reach 5,400 years.
…
In the ninth class of the Essence Opening realm, one could live for 16,200 years!
The transformation Su Jingxing's physical body had undergone when he sanctified it had been significant. He had directly stepped into the second class of the Essence Opening realm.
Then, he absorbed the energy from the Mighty Strength Cards and Strength Pills to push his realm to a bottleneck.
That was the limit of the second class of the Essence Opening realm.
After consuming nine Demon Soul Fruits, he broke through his limits and entered the third class of the Essence Opening realm.
This meant that so long as he remained healthy and safe, he could live for 5,400 years.
Having a long lifespan was one of the specialties of a spiritual martial artist.
Of course, Su Jingxing had also learned a little about the difficulty of advancing as a spiritual martial artist through the memories of the Bone Demon.
This was mainly because every transformation of the physical body required a massive amount of resources.
Some resources were easy to find, but some were difficult.
For example, the Demon Soul Fruits that can allow one to breakthrough his limits weren't available on Earth Star at all.
The Demon Soul Fruit Tree was a strange plant that the Ancient Demons had brought from the actual Demon World. It was a heavenly treasure.
Su Jingxing was lucky to have encountered Demon Soul Fruits that were about to ripen.
It was unknown how long it would take for other spiritual martial artists to find similar treasures.
Not to mention, Su Jingxing had created Vast Ocean himself. It could absorb all kinds of energy and convert them directly into spiritual essence.
Using spiritual essence to cleanse his body and reach the bottleneck of each class was the most reliable way to improve.
With Vast Ocean, Su Jingxing could still unlock the Internal Force Cards, True Energy Cards, and True Essence Cards and absorb the energies into his dantian.
Therefore, compared to other spiritual martial artists, Su Jingxing did not lack resources.
Of course, while spiritual martial arts had formidable combat strength and astonishing defense, it also had lacking aspects.
That was, one could not cross outer space.
The outer space was almost a vacuum area. The crossing of space by spiritual martial artists did not include vacuum areas.
Even after entering the dark area of the Void World, one could not leave the territory of their nation in the Void World.
This was because the space and time in the darkness of the Void World were extremely chaotic.
Once one left the territory of their nation and could not return in time, they would be wrapped up in chaotic space and time and get thrown to any corner of the universe.
Broken worlds, annihilated stars, twisted wormholes…
All were possible!
If one was really thrown into these places, there was basically no chance of survival.
Divine martial artists were different.
After the Soul Platform was created, it would be protected by the Soul Platform Divine Light.
Riding the Soul Platform, one could cross the starry sky and shuttle through the Void World.
The Soul Platform Divine Light could effectively resist the chaos of space and time and prevent being swept away.
At this time, a Soul Platform was equivalent to a ship.
This also led to the default rule of not entering the dark areas of the Void World unless one was in the Soul Platform realm.
Therefore, spiritual martial arts and divine martial arts each had their own strengths.
Most of the people who faced these two paths took the path of divine martial arts.
Spiritual martial arts were indeed powerful, but it was too difficult to advance.
Su Jingxing didn't have a headache. He would take both paths.
Because he had the conditions to dual-cultivate!
"This is the will of the heavens forcing me to take both paths."
Su Jingxing took out a set of clothes from his space and put them on. He rubbed his chin and sighed happily.
At the third class of the Essence Opening realm, one could rival the Primordial Spirit realm of divine martial arts.
Su Jingxing was confident that he could deal with the remaining Snake Demon and Sword Demon.
The Demon Soul Fruits had no effect on him, but the mysterious aura emitted by the Demon Soul Fruit Tree was still effective.
Kill the Snake Demon and the Sword Demon, replace them, and absorb the mysterious aura!
In any case, the Snake Demon and the Sword Demon could not pass through the Door of Darkness and leave the Little Demon World.
He would kill them one by one, without fear that they would escape.
He made his decision.
Su Jingxing rested for a moment. Taking advantage of the fact that the Invisibility Card's effect had resumed and its duration was not up yet, he quickly soared into the air and traversed through space, heading for the True Demon Mountain occupied by the Snake Demon.
The second True Demon Mountain was also tall and filled with demonic energy.
The six Demon Soul Fruit Trees were arranged in a circle, with one in the center.
Under the Demon Soul Fruit Tree in the center, the ferocious Snake Demon with the head of a snake and the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a human sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless. Its hundred-meter-long and thick body absorbed the mysterious aura released by the Demon Soul Fruit Tree.
Su Jingxing did not intend to destroy these Demon Soul Fruit Trees again.
For this, he had to lure the Snake Demon away and move to another area.
Through the Bone Demon's memories, Su Jingxing had learned the Snake Demon's strengths and weaknesses.
Immediately, he followed the plan.
He deliberately approached the Demon Soul Fruit Tree in the center. Under the five trees scattered on the periphery, a bunch of Snake Demon Half-Demons were gathered to discuss who would pluck the Demon Soul Fruits.
The battle between Half-Demons would not be abandoned immediately just because one was easier to negotiate with.
With these Half-Demons guarding the Demon Soul Fruit Trees, unless Su Jingxing was crazy, he wouldn't get into a conflict with them at this time.
He deliberately approached the center to attract the Snake Demon's attention.
In the end, it was unknown if this fellow was deliberately pretending not to notice, or if he was really immersed in his own world and was absorbing the mysterious aura without moving.
Su Jingxing floated past its head a few times, but the Snake Demon did not react.
The invisibility state was powerful, but Su Jingxing refused to believe that it could fool the Ancient Demon's close-range perception.
There was only one explanation for the Snake Demon ignoring him. It thought nothing of Su Jingxing.
Compared to Su Jingxing, absorbing the mysterious aura was more important.
This was seriously divorced from Su Jingxing's plan.
Since the Snake Demon pretended not to notice, Su Jingxing would force it to notice him.
Swish!
Su Jingxing took out a bucket of Corpse Dissolving Liquid from his palm space. When it floated over the Snake Demon's head again, Su Jingxing opened the lid of the bucket and the Corpse Dissolving Liquid poured down onto the its head and upper body.

Roar!
The Snake Demon that had been silent all this while finally flew into a rage. It opened its hateful and murderous eyes and stared fixedly at Su Jingxing.
The corrosive power of the Corpse Dissolving Liquid did not cause any damage to the Snake Demon. It did not lose a single scale.
But this was extremely insulting.
It had to get back at him!
The Corpse Dissolving Liquid that swept through its body suddenly trembled and evaporated.
Swoosh!
The lower half of the Snake Demon's body remained where it was. Its upper body, especially its neck, suddenly extended rapidly, bringing its head towards Su Jingxing at lightning speed.
Buzz!
Su Jingxing's body emitted a golden-red glow. He circulated the Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence and wrapped it around his hands. Facing the Snake Demon's head that was pouncing over, he threw a punch from the side onto the Snake Demon's cheek. Its entire head and extended neck smashed into the ground, stirring up dust.
Swoosh!
Take your life while you're down.
Su Jingxing landed quickly and landed more punches on the Snake Demon's head.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Snake Demon, who had just came back to its senses, was beaten into the ground again. Its head was spinning.
The lower half of his body that was left under the Demon Soul Fruit Tree in the center had no choice but to move over and surround Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing was already prepared. The moment he saw this scene, he stopped punching and soared into the air, crossing space into the distance.
Roar!
The Snake Demon, who had been humiliated, naturally wouldn't let him off so easily.
Its huge body struck the ground in the opposite direction and also soared into the air, flying swiftly.
In a few moments, it caught up to Su Jingxing.
Roar!
A deafening roar reverberated through the air.
Invisible sound waves stringed together and wrapped around Su Jingxing like lightning to stop him in midair.
At the same time, the Snake Demon opened its mouth to the widest.
A strange force immediately spread and locked onto Su Jingxing.
"It's coming!"
Su Jingxing, who was prepared, felt his body lighten. It was as if a rope had tied him up tightly. Then, he suddenly pulled from behind.
Whoosh!
Su Jingxing was pushed backward by a strange force and entered the Snake Demon's opened mouth.
The process went very smoothly.
However, when he entered the snake mouth and passed through its throat, Su Jingxing used the Demonic Elephant Physique again with a whoosh. He expanded and turned into a four-meter-tall giant.
He tore open the Snake Demon's throat, ripping apart its scales and skin as well.
When the images connected together, it was as if a giant had suddenly emerged from the mouth of the Snake Demon.
This giant broke out of the mouth and separated the Snake Demon's head from its lower body without any warning.
Then, Su Jingxing, who had transformed into a giant, grabbed the head and flew into the sky at high speed.
During the flight, he retracted the Demonic Elephant Physique, took out a jar of Strength Pills, and poured the pills into his mouth.
The Snake Demon's head in his hand removed unmoved, as if it had frozen. There was no sound.
However, in reality, the Snake Demon's head was in a sleeping state.
This was what he saw through the Bone Demon's memories, the Snake Demon's weakness.
Once the head and body were separated with a great distance put between them, the Snake Demon would fall into a deep sleep.
However, when sleeping, the Snake Demon's head and body would automatically attract each other and merge back together.
This was one of the innate abilities of the Snake Demon.
The Snake Demon had two abilities, one was devouring. Su Jingxing had already experienced it earlier.
The second was to reconstruct its body.
As for completely killing the Snake Demon, it wasn't impossible.
If Su Jingxing went all out, mobilize 300 years of cultivation of Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence and bombard the Snake Demon's head for half an hour, he could indeed turn the Snake Demon's head into dregs and burn it.
With ordinary attacks, even if he were to use fire, the Snake Demon's head and body would not die immediately.
But that would be tiring and exhausting.
After Su Jingxing learned about this characteristic of the Snake Demon, he had a better solution.
He headed straight for the Door of Darkness with the Snake Demon's head.
Behind him, the Snake Demon's body automatically followed under the guidance of an invisible force.
However, when he arrived at the Door of Darkness, Su Jingxing put the Snake Demon's head into his palm space. His physical body passed through the Door of Darkness and returned to the underground space at the bottom of the Demon's Den. When he saw the Blood Doppelganger, he took out the Snake Demon's head and handed it to it. His main body then returned to the Little Demon World. He encountered the Snake Demon's body chasing after him and crashing into the Door of Darkness, yet it could not pass through no matter what. The body suddenly trembled violently.
A Door of Darkness. Its head was on the other side, and its body was on this side.
But they could not touch each other no matter what!
How could it reconstruct? How could they be put back together? How could the Snake Demon be revived and awakened?
Therefore, Su Jingxing grinned secretly as he watched the Snake Demon's body stick to the Door of Darkness, writhing and colliding madly.
A group of Half-Demons and demon slaves who had gathered beside the Door of Darkness were dumbfounded by this sight.
The Snake Demon's body that had lost its head!
What was going on?
No demon could give an answer.
Instead, as they feared the crazy crashing and twisting of the Snake Demon's body, these Half-Demons and demon slaves quickly fled in all directions without saying a word.
Su Jingxing didn't stay to watch either.
The Snake Demon's body could not pass through the Door of Darkness. Its head that was on the other side, would be slowly crushed, torn, and turn it into dregs by the Blood Doppelganger.
Speaking of which, Su Jingxing was also taking a gamble when he thought of this method to kill the Snake Demon.
That is, if he put the Snake Demon's head into his palm space and passed through the Door of Darkness, would he be prevented from passing through as well?
But in the end, he won the gamble.
The power of the storage space was not affected by the Door of Darkness!
Without the Snake Demon as a threat, he would slowly take care of it.
Of the three Ancient Demons, only the Sword Demon remained!
In his invisible state, Su Jingxing immediately rushed to the third True Demon Mountain to find the Sword Demon.
The appearance of the Sword Demon resembled Black Armor in the movie, A Writer's Odyssey that Su Jingxing had watched on Earth.
The strange killer with only one eye and arms like blades.
However, compared to Black Armor, the Sword Demon was bigger, more than ten meters tall.
It had no limbs.
Its entire body was like a shiny black blackboard filled with wrinkles, and sharp blades grew out all around it.
When it was motionless, all the sharp blades would shrink together and stick into the ground like a large shutter.
When it moved, the sharp blades opened and the blackboard would be propped up, turning into a killing machine.
Sharp blades danced in the air, and the blackboard spiraled. Everywhere it passed, blood and wind filled the air, and broken limbs scattered everywhere.
Most importantly, it did not have eyes, mouth, nose, or other organs.
The wrinkled blackboard was its "eyes, mouth, and nose". Through this blackboard, the Sword Demon could sense everything around it.
After Su Jingxing arrived, the Sword Demon reacted immediately.
Compared to the Snake Demon, the Sword Demon moved decisively when it discovered Su Jingxing.
The blackboard spun and the sharp blades sliced.
Its huge body left the ground and rushed towards Su Jingxing.
Without another word, Su Jingxing immediately turned around and fled.
He traversed through the space at his fastest speed.
The Sword Demon shuttled through space as well and chased after him.
However, after leaving the True Demon Mountain, Su Jingxing suddenly descended and found an empty space on the ground. He stopped escaping.
He prepared to open his palm space.
The moment the Sword Demon descended from the sky from its pursuit…
Whoosh!
Swoosh!
Two beams of light flashed.
Buzz!
The first ray of light landed on the ground, causing ripples in the air.
As the ripples spread, they wrapped around the Sword Demon, forming a spherical barrier that enveloped it inside.
Su Jingxing's main body left the moment the barrier was completed.
Inside the barrier, the second streak of light suddenly lit up, shooting out electric arcs that flickered with light.
Heaven Sealing Staff!
Thunderbolt Sword!
The Heaven Sealing Staff isolated space and formed its own small world, sealing off the universe.
At this moment, the Sword Demon was trapped in a sealed space.
The Thunderbolt Sword released the power of heavenly lightning and thunder to attack the Sword Demon.
That's right, the Sword Demon's weakness was lightning and thunder!
If struck by lightning, the Sword Demon would slowly turn into an iron plate.
Although it wouldn't die, it would be sealed and fall into an eternal sleep. No one knew when it would wake up again.
Otherwise, given the current strength of the Heaven Sealing Staff, it would not be able to trap the Sword Demon's destruction.
With two strikes at most, it could tear apart the barrier from the inside.
However, things were different with the help of the Thunderbolt Sword.
Bolts of lightning struck the Sword Demon.
The Sword Demon shrank immediately to resist the lightning and thunder.
It would be good enough if ordinary lightning and thunder could last for dozens of seconds.
The Sword Demon would be able to endure and survive these dozens of seconds.
However, the Thunderbolt Sword was under Su Jingxing's control and fully charged.
At this moment, it was releasing lightning with all its might. After nearly ten minutes, it completely turned the Sword Demon into an iron plate and put it in eternal sleep.
"Ha, now I'm the boss of the Little Demon World!"

Now, of the three Ancient Demons, the Bone Demon had been killed, the Snake Demon's head and body had been separated and could not be reconstructed with the Door of Darkness between them. Although it was not dead, it could forget about recovering.
And finally, the Sword Demon had fallen into a permanent state of hibernation.
From now on, no one in the huge Little Demon World was a match for Su Jingxing.
If that didn't make him the boss, what would?!
With this in mind,
Su Jingxing happily put away the Thunderbolt Sword, the Heaven Sealing Staff, and the Sword Demon that had turned into an iron plate into his palm space.
Although the Sword Demon was not dead, it could forget about reviving.
However, as long as the Snake Demon and Sword Demon were not completely dead, he would not be able to remove the restriction on the periphery of the World Tree branch at the top of the sky.
Su Jingxing getting the World Tree Branch became empty talk.
However, it didn't matter. Even if he did retrieve the World Tree Branch, he had no use for it for now.
Opening a small world was not something that could be done casually.
It was not a portable palm space. The opening of a small world could not do without the guidance of the main world. There was a huge connection between the two.
Since he couldn't carry it on him, this small world would be a secret warehouse for Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing had no use for such a warehouse for the time being.
Therefore, leaving the World Tree Branch in the Little Demon World would affect much.
In any case, as long as the Snake Demon and Sword Demon were alive, no one would be able to obtain the World Tree Branch.
In comparison, Su Jingxing preferred the Demon Soul Fruit Trees.
He directly traversed through space and returned to the True Demon Mountain occupied by the Bone Demon. He found the five destroyed Demon Soul Fruit Trees and the sixth tree that had all its Demon Soul Fruits plucked.
Regardless of whether they were complete or broken with only roots, Su Jingxing put them all into his palm space.
After that, he ignored the Half-Demons and demon slaves that were running all over the mountain and rushed to the second True Demon Mountain.
He also dug up the six Demon Soul Fruit Trees that belonged to the Snake Demon and put them into his palm space.
Then, he rushed to the third True Demon Mountain, the area occupied by the Sword Demon.
Here, Su Jingxing encountered an obstacle.
The three Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords were guarding under the Demon Soul Fruit Tree. After Su Jingxing arrived, they sensed him immediately and attacked without any warning.
The three Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords turned into three killing machines and surrounded Su Jingxing, attacking crazily.
Without another word, Su Jingxing unleashed all his strength at the third classing of the Essence Opening realm. With the Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence, his figure flashed as he punched a Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlord.
In the end, the first Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlord exploded on the spot, turning into pieces that scattered in the air.
The blackboard in the middle of the second Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlord had a huge hole punched through it, and its attack momentum directly disintegrated.
The third Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlord seemed to be the strongest. Its blackboard was the hardest and did not shatter. It was only sent flying hundreds of meters into the mountain.
He punches took care of the three Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords with three punches.
Although he had only extracted a card from a Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlord, Su Jingxing did not pursue them. These Half-Demon Overlords would not die. He could slowly settle the scores later.
However, the mysterious aura emitted by the Demon Soul Fruit Trees would not last forever.
Another 9,000 years had to pass for the World Tree Branch at the top of the sky to stop trembling and the Demon Soul Fruit Trees to mature.
Su Jingxing didn't have that much time to wait.
Therefore, Su Jingxing ignored the Half-Demons and Half-Demon Overlords as long as they did not hinder his movements.
He also put the six Demon Soul Fruit Trees occupied by the Sword Demon into his palm space.
Su Jingxing traversed through space and left the True Demon Mountain. He found a remote corner where the demonic energy was thin and there were no demonic creatures.
He just had to take out all the Demon Soul Fruit Trees and dig holes to bury them.
The damaged ones still had roots.
Through the Bone Demon's memories, Su Jingxing guided the demonic energy to connect to the energy of the World Tree Branch at the top of the sky.
Using the energy of the World Tree branch, it rejuvenated the roots.
In less than half an hour, new Demon Soul Fruit Trees grew from the roots.
Although there were no more Demon Soul Fruits, the mysterious aura was still being released.
That was enough.
Su Jingxing imitated the Bone Demon, Snake Demon, and Sword Demon and lined up the 18 Demon Soul Fruit Trees.
The three trees in the center were arranged in a triangle.
The 15 trees on the periphery formed a circular ring.
Then, Su Jingxing sat cross-legged in the middle of the three trees in the center. Through the method found in the Bone Demon's memories, he absorbed the mysterious aura to strengthen his soul and produce soul power.
The biggest function of this mysterious aura was to nurture soul power.
This was much faster than consuming the Heaven Essence Pill and the Sage Origin Fruit.
The mysterious aura was quickly born through the 18 Demon Soul Fruit Trees. Su Jingxing didn't have to think about anything else but absorbing it.
Therefore, while Su Jingxing's Essence Soul guarded the Void World, his soul power kept increasing through the strengthening of his main body.
His fourth class Void Soul cultivation began to rise.
Fifth class of the Void Soul realm!
Sixth class of the Void Soul realm!
…
When the 18 Demon Soul Fruit Trees stopped releasing their mysterious auras and the World Tree Branch at the top of the sky fell silent, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul cultivation had already reached the ninth class of the Void Soul realm.
At the beginning, he advanced from the fourth class to the ninth class.
Compared to the nine Demon Soul Fruits that allowed Su Jingxing to break the limits of his physical body,
the might of the 18 Demon Soul Fruit Trees was equally powerful, so much so that it was reassuring.
After this battle,
Su Jingxing's physical body was on the path of spiritual martial arts, and his realm was in the third class of the Essence Opening realm.
On the other hand, the Essence Soul took the path of divine martial arts, and was in the ninth class of the Void Soul realm.
The remaining Blood Doppelganger gathered its strength and kept attacking the Snake Demon's head.
The Snake Demon would not die unless its head was shattered into pieces.
The Blood Doppelganger could use the Snake Demon's head to test out its new transformation.
The most important matter was settled.

Chapter 372: The Fourth Demon's Den! (2)
Su Jingxing rested for a moment, then stood up and circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce the exact location of the Half-Demon Overlords of the three kinds of demonic creatures—— Bone Demon, Snake Demon, and Sword Demon.
There were many Half-Demons, but there were limited Half-Demon Overlords.
In total, there were only about 50 Half-Demon Overlords.
Su Jingxing had to get rid of these 50 Half-Demon Overlords no matter what.
With the three Ancient Demons gone and all the Half-Demon Overlords wiped out, the plan of the demonic creatures to invade the surface would end before it even began.
The remaining Half-Demons were killed whenever he encountered them. Those who didn't meet him were lucky.
As for the demon slaves, there were billions of them. Su Jingxing really didn't have the strength or time to annihilate them.
Even if the demon slaves were killed, no Function Cards would be extracted.
Therefore, he might as well let them live and keep them in the Little Demon World to slowly clear them out.
Of course, it would be best if the armies of the various countries came in to exterminate them. The threat of demon slaves was limited, and they were the best subjects for training.
Su Jingxing only needed to take care of the Half-Demon Overlords.
Hence.
His physical body traversed through space. Under the guidance of the heavenly secret arts, Su Jingxing was spot on with finding every single one.
With 300 years of spiritual essence cultivation, no Half-Demon Overlord could withstand a punch from him.
If the Half-Demon Overlord wasn't dead, Su Jingxing wouldn't be able to feel at ease even if he used Vast Ocean to absorb the demonic energy.
Under such circumstances, more than half of the Half-Demon Overlords of the three types of demonic creatures, Bone Demon, Snake Demon, and Sword Demon, quickly died.
The remaining half did not dare to stay in the Little Demon World after receiving the news.
They ran towards their respective Doors of Darkness and headed for the human world through them.
They couldn't stay in the Little Demon World anymore. There might be a chance of survival if they escaped to the human world.
Of course, in the Door of Darkness controlled by the Bone Demon, the Snake Demon's body was writhing crazily, blocking most of the door. Seeing this from afar, the Half-Demon Overlords decisively turned to the other Doors of Darkness.
…
Furious Dragon River.
At the border of the Zheng Nation and Wei Nation, downstream of the waters, beneath a mountain peak that was thousands of feet tall by the river.
Luo Ao and the Wei Nation's Martial Sage were killing a group of demon slaves and Half-Demons that had come out from the Door of Darkness.
All of a sudden——
Whoosh!
Beams of light shot out.
Six figures passed through the Door of Darkness in a sorry state and revealed themselves.
Four of them were Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlords, and two were Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords.
Among the six Half-Demon Overlords, the weakest was in the first class of the Void Soul realm.
Six of them appeared at once, and a terrifying aura erupted with a bang, causing Luo Ao and the Wei Nation's Martial Sage to retreat with grim expressions.
"What's going on? Why did so many powerful demonic creatures suddenly appear?" Luo Ao growled, his face ashen.
"Now is not the time to worry about why they're out here."
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage also shouted in a low voice, "What's important now is how to destroy them! Brother Luo, have you contacted your master? There are more and more powerful demonic creatures, and the other demonic creatures seem to be endless. Without the help of Sword Sage Pei, we won't be able to guard this place at all!"
"I'm already contacting him."
Luo Ao gritted his teeth. "When Master entered the dark area of the Void World, I've been contacting him through the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal."
At this moment, Luo Ao had entered the Demon's Den with his physical body, not his Essence Soul. His Essence Soul was still in the Void World, and it was contacting Sword Sage Pei with the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.
Originally, according to normal circumstances, one would not enter the darkness of the Void World unless they had reach the Soul Platform realm.
However, Sword Sage Pei, who was in the Primordial Spirit realm, did not know these secrets. Secondly, he was skilled and bold. Without building a Soul Platform, he barged into the dark area of the Void World and had yet to step out.
No one knew where Sword Sage Pei had gone or where he was in the dark area of the Void World.
No one knew where Sword Sage Pei's physical body was too.
That was fine in usual times, but now that the Demon's Den was in chaos and demonic creatures were constantly coming through the Door of Darkness, Luo Ao and the Wei Nation's Martial Sage were already starting to struggle. They could not hold on anymore!
…
Luo Ao and the Wei Nation's Martial Sage were not the only ones who were finding it increasingly taxing.
North Sea.
On an uninhabited island on the coastline of the Xu Nation.
The Martial Sage of the Xu Nation invited the Martial Sage of the Snow Nation, Yu Xiangtian to the bottom of a mountain peak in the center of the island.
More than 700 meters below the island, there was a spacious underground space.
The third Demon's Den in the Eastern Continent was located in this underground space.
After Su Jingxing exposed the secret, Yu Xiangtian and the Martial Sage of the Xu Nation immediately came to this third Demon's Den to check on the situation.
Just like Luo Ao's side, there was no movement at first, but soon, demon slaves and Half-Demons rushed out of the Demon's Den.
On Luo Ao's side, most of them were Snake Demons. On Yu Xiangtian's side, most of them were Sword Demons.
Compared to the Snake Demons, the Sword Demon Half-Demons' attacks were stronger and more ferocious.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Strong winds swept and energy spread.
In the huge underground space, after the Sword Demon Half-Demons appeared, the dome, the four walls of the den, and the ground beneath their feet were soon covered in deep marks.
Yu Xiangtian and the Martial Sage of the Xu Nation could easily deal with them at the beginning, but later on, they had no choice but to join forces.
After the Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords appeared——
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The violent attacks and terrifying power, with just three charges, caused the Martial Sage of the Xu Nation's physical body to vomit blood repeatedly. He was sent flying and crashed into the cave wall, creating a huge pit.
"D*mn it!"
Yu Xiangtian was covered in ice and snow. This was a sign that he had circulated his martial arts to the limits.
While raising powerful defense, he also carried terrifying lethality.
However, against the siege of five Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords, Yu Xiangtian only lasted for less than three minutes before he began to retreat.
"Hang in there!"
The Xu Nation's Martial Sage, who had left the pit, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Old Tian, hang in there. I've already contacted the Liang and Kang Nations. Old Li and the others are rushing over at their fastest speed!"
"They won't be able to hold on for long either!"
As Yu Xiangtian flew backward, he growled, "There are too many powerful demonic creatures. We're not their match. We have to get someone in the Primordial Spirit realm to come here. Go contact Sword Sage Pei and the one overseas! If necessary, contact the Blade Sage of the Western Continent!"
"No."
The Martial Sage of the Xu Nation blurted out.
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward to attack a Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlord. While taking on some of Yu Xiangtian's pressures, he quickly replied, "We can't contact the Western Continent. There are also Demon's Dens in the Western Continent. I reckon that they are also in a fierce battle over there. Most importantly, we can't let the Barbarian Gods in the Boundless Mountain Range discover that we have been invaded by the demonic creatures. Otherwise, the barbarians won't just watch and let go of such a good opportunity to invade!"
Barbarian Gods!
That's right, there was also the threat in the Boundless Mountain Range.
At this thought, Yu Xiangtian's expression turned solemn and his eyes were filled with anxiety.
The invasion of the demonic creatures was already drawing away their energy.
If the barbarians in the Boundless Mountain Range were to start a war now, one of the two fronts would collapse before long.
At that time, who knew how many people would die.
"Contact the one overseas! We must get him to come and help us. Also, try to contact White Emperor City. The situation this time is critical. We can't sit still and wait for death. We have to contact all the Transcendent-grade experts we can contact and fight the danger together!"
Yu Xiangtian growled as he dodged the another attack.
"Pu! We're already in midst of doing that!"
The Martial Sage of the Xu Nation grunted, his face flushed red.
Transcendent-grade experts were not limited to the Kingdom Defending Martial Sages of the various countries.
There were seven or eight independent Transcendent-grade martial artists like He Sanxiao in the Eastern Continent, or even more.
These people rarely appeared in the various countries. They were either on the subcontinent, overseas, or in the wilderness or the Dark North.
Yu Xiangtian and the other Kingdom Defending Martial Sages knew some of them and had heard of some others.
At this moment, no matter where they were, they were frantically contacting one another.
Because behind the Door of Darkness, there were not only powerful demonic creatures but also Ancient Demons!
The Ancient Demons were the biggest threat.
Little did they know that Su Jingxing had already dealt with the biggest threat.
…
In the Little Demon World.
Su Jingxing chased after the Half-Demon Overlords and killed most of them. He extracted 41 cards.
The remaining dozen or so escaped into the underground of the Demon's Den in the Eastern Continent and were left alone.
Given the strength of the Martial Sages of the various countries, it was not difficult to deal with these dozen or so Half-Demon Overlords.
Su Jingxing had informed them of the situation in advance. As the Kingdom Defending Martial Sages, they would definitely go to the Demon's Den in their jurisdiction to check.
Therefore, Su Jingxing was not worried about the threat at the three known Demon's Dens.
Except for the fourth!
Through the Bone Demon's memories, he saw that there were a total of four Doors of Darkness that connected the Little Demon World to the Eastern Continent.
In other words, there were indeed four Demon's Dens as Su Jingxing had found out previously.
This fourth Demon's Den was located…
In the Southern Wilderness!

Report chapter
He Sanxiao had previously approached Su Jingxing to explore the ancient ruins in the Southern Wilderness together.
Su Jingxing declined politely.
This time, Su Jingxing had to make the trip.
Two Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords and three Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlords had escaped into the Door of Darkness of the Fourth Demon's Den.
If left alone, these Half-Demon Overlords would definitely develop a new demon slave team.
Since he had made a move, they had to be completely wiped out, not giving all the Half-Demons a chance.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing's physical body walked into the Door of Darkness that connected the Little Demon World to the Fourth Demon's Den.
Initially, Su Jingxing was worried that he would be stopped by the Door of Darkness with him in the third class of the Essence Opening realm.
After all, a person in the Primordial Spirit realm could not pass through the Door of Darkness.
The third class of the Essence Soul realm was equivalent to the Primordial Spirit realm.
When he took action, he realized that the Door of Darkness targeted transformation on the soul level.
In other words, the Ancient Demons' breakthrough to the Transcendent-grade Primordial Spirit also targeted the soul.
There were no restrictions on the physical body.
Su Jingxing's body had undergone three transformations. When he passed through the Door of Darkness, there was only a resistance. Under his forceful push, this resistance did not affect him much.
After passing through the Door of Darkness, his vision changed. What appeared before his eyes was a ruin at the bottom of the cliff.
Rubble, dust, collapsed stone statues, broken walls.
A little further away, there were steep cliffs on both sides. They wound upwards and were shrouded in mist at the top.
Su Jingxing walked through the ruins and sensed his surroundings. He did not find the Sword Demon or the Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlord.
When he passed by the collapsed stone statues, he took a few more glances and realized that they were engraved with a species he had never seen before.
Or rather, strange demonic creatures?
In any case, there was no impression of such a demonic creature in the Bone Demon's memories.
Su Jingxing memorized the appearance of the demonic creatures and sensed the direction of the fleeing Snake Demon and the Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords.
Under the deduction of the heavenly secret arts, he discovered that the three types of Half-Demon Overlords had actually separated.
Half to the left, half to the right.
Su Jingxing walked out of the ruins and came to the fork. After some thought, he crossed space and chased to the left.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of rushing wind disappeared in an instant.
Three rapidly moving figures appeared in his vision.
The Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlords!
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Circulating the Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence, three fist imprints tore through the air and accurately struck their targets.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Out of the three Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlords who were moving quickly, the heads of two of them exploded and while the other had its neck shattered.
Those whose heads exploded died on the spot. Su Jingxing extracted two cards.
However, the Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlord whose neck was shattered did not die immediately.
The head that was sent flying let out a strange sound in midair.
Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling.
He decisively threw another punch and blew up the head.
[Card1]
Swish!
A whirlwind rose from the ground.
A strange aura suddenly emerged, twisted and lingered in the air.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under the guidance of an invisible force, the blood that flowed out of the three Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlords slowly gathered in the air.
Boom!
Su Jingxing, who had an ominous feeling, saw this and quickly threw a punch.
The fist imprint that contained the Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence charged towards the condensed fresh blood. With a thud, the mass of demon blood exploded.
Worried, he used the Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence as energy to sweep up and incinerate the exploded demon blood.
However, just as he begun, the two broken stone statues not far away suddenly shook.
The demonic blood that was wrapped up surged violently at the same time.
These two processes occurred simultaneously.
Su Jingxing was about to grab the demon blood and retreat——
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two beams of black light suddenly shot out from the stone statue towards the demon blood.
Su Jingxing's spiritual essence wrap was dissolved as soon as it came into contact with it.
The black light and the demonic blood quickly fused, emitting a terrifying aura.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The aura became stronger and stronger. In less than three seconds, it produced scorching energy.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang, the black light and the demonic blood completely fused and expanded, turning into a strange demonic creature that resembled a stone statue.
This demonic creature was more than ten meters tall. Its upper body was similar to a human's, but it had six arms and two heads. On its head was a face that looked like an evil spirit, sinister and terrifying.
The lower half of the body was covered with structures that were like octopus tentacles. There were dozens of them.
At this moment, demonic energy surged around the body. A scorching aura continuously spread out and wrapped around the huge body.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into surging flames that roasted the dark space at the bottom of the cliff. It was as red as blood.
The terrifying temperature covered the ground, and the heated air distorted.
Roar!
Without a word, the strange demonic creature snarled and released a frightening force from its body. A fearsome aura blotted out the sky and covered the sun as it surged towards Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing did not dodge.
"Ha!"
A loud and excited roar suddenly came from Su Jingxing's widely opened mouth.
Accompanied by a metallic buzz, Su Jingxing's body instantly disappeared from his original position. Like a moving mountain, he quickly passed through and stepped into the air, charging fiercely at the strange demonic creature in the lead like lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The air exploded like a high-pressure cannonball.
Su Jingxing activated his transcendent body. Golden-red light covered his entire body. His pure physical strength was completely released, directly crushing the air.
As he moved quickly, the space seemed to tremble uncontrollably. From time to time, a loud bang would sound.
Roar!
Seeing this, the strange demonic creatures snarled as well.
Its majestic body that was like a mountain began moving behind.

Chapter 374: The Resurrected Ancient Demon (2)
In an instant, Su Jingxing collided fiercely with the terrifying power and demonic energy released by the strange demonic creature.
Immediately, violent physical strength, through his powerful physique, struck violently against the other party's demonic energy.
Upon coming into contact, almost without any hesitation, the two energies clashed and exploded in the air.
Boom! Boom!
A thunderous explosion erupted at the right time.
The violent force pulled out a large expanse of the sky in the air, leaving more than half empty. At the center of the two forces, a huge vacuum was instantly formed. At the same time, endless energy swept out.
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
Energy shot out like lightning, crashing into the mountain walls and causing large amounts of rubble to fall.
At a certain moment, Su Jingxing suddenly exerted his strength. His spiritual essence wrapped around his fists, dissolving the demonic energy and breaking an arm of the strange demonic creature.
However, in the next second, he was sent flying by the strange demonic creature's other arm.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A silvery-black aura appeared on the surface of the strange demonic creature's body. It stirred the air and turned into a huge vortex.
The surface of the vortex was covered in silvery-white electric arcs. Crackling sounds filled the air.
Under the pull of this strange force, the energies, baneful aura, and astral energy that filled the surroundings suddenly disappeared, as if they were instantly devoured by the vortex.
However, such a frightening vortex did not last long. Less than half a minute had passed.
Sheets of silvery-white electric arcs suddenly began flowing rapidly.
Immediately after, a vortex the size of a house expanded before it contracted. After this was repeated a few times, it suddenly exploded.
Boom!
A loud bang erupted in the air. The vortex turned into countless black streams of light that rushed towards Su Jingxing.
The terrifying energy shockwave struck Su Jingxing, who had just come out of the pit in the wall and he crashed into the pit again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Explosions sounded non-stop, and countless rocks flew everywhere.
If it were anyone else, they would either be dead or crippled.
Su Jingxing, who had activated his transcendent body and undergone three transformations, was not injured.
Only his clothes were torn into strips.
The strength of this strange demonic creature was definitely comparable to Ancient Demons like the Snake Demon and the Sword Demon!
Or even stronger.
It was merely the blood of three Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlords combined with the black light in the stone statue, yet it contained such fearsome power.
Such an existence was probably already very famous in ancient times.
A resurrected Ancient Demon?
A thought struck Su Jingxing.
It must be one of the Ancient Demons back then.
The area where the fourth Demon's Den was located was clearly not simple either.
At this moment, Su Jingxing was only at the bottom of the cliff. He had not gone up to take a look.
Wait…
Roar!
The roar sounded again.
The strange demonic creature attacked again. Its remaining thick arm swung in the air, and the demonic energy around it instantly condensed.
Under the guidance of an invisible force, the stone statues scattered at the bottom of the cliff floated up and flew towards the strange demonic creature, sinking into the dense demonic energy that kept surging.
When the demonic energy dissipated, a huge black and red stone slab that looked like a scabbard appeared.
Almost at the same time as the black and red stone slab appeared, the air suddenly shook violently. Then, a thick ray of blood-red light suddenly bloomed in the air.
Swoosh!
The thick blood-colored pillar of light was like a huge sickle, splitting the sky at the bottom of the cliff into two. An extremely dazzling glow shone brightly in the air. Everywhere it passed, everything avoided it. Only the rising black mist danced enchantingly in the air.
"What is this again?"
Su Jingxing's pupils constricted when he saw this. He was secretly shocked. "A demon weapon?"
This resurrected Ancient Demon can forge weapons out of thin air?
In less than ten seconds, the strange demonic creature that had created the black and red stone slab had grabbed the lower part of the stone slab and completely released the violent demonic energy on its body.
Its eyes turned red and bloodthirsty as he stared straight at Su Jingxing. His gaze was filled with killing intent, and its expression was even more sinister.
The black and red stone slab was eye-catching from its appearance alone. The frightening pressure that seeped out unconsciously gradually turned the air turbid.
The terrifying aura it released sliced through the air, producing strange sounds.
Wave after wave of fearsome and strange evil energy erupted violently from the center of the stone slab.
Under the impact of this surging energy, the air could not help but tremble, creating circles of seemingly corporeal evil shockwaves.
"What a powerful fluctuation."
Su Jingxing was inwardly shocked. "The aura of this black and red stone slab is definitely not inferior to a divine weapon."
Su Jingxing's eyes revealed undisguised killing intent.
That's right, the power released by this black and red stone slab was astonishing.
But this did not mean that Su Jingxing was afraid of it.
Putting aside the fact that it was only comparable to a divine weapon, even if it was a divine weapon, Su Jingxing would dare to fight it.
Su Jingxing had yet to fully unleash the true might of the Wandering Dragon Saber.
Boom boom boom!
Su Jingxing's killing intent rose. The strange demonic creature with the blood reservoir in its hand was also filled with killing intent. It stared at Su Jingxing with bloodthirsty eyes and swung its hand.
Swish!
A thick blood-colored pillar of light appeared in the air again.
Accompanied by a sharp sound of air breaking, a Three-Headed Demon Dragon detached itself from the stone slab.
At the same time, a cluster of strange flames emerged from the strange demonic creature's body. With a crisp sound, half of the flames separated and augmented the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
The sound of air being sliced rang out non-stop.
The Three-Headed Demon Dragon, wrapped in raging flames, tore through the air and headed straight for Su Jingxing.
The strange demonic creature, wrapped in the remaining half of the flames, followed behind with the stone slab and locked onto Su Jingxing.
One after another, two waves of attacks came at lightning speed.
Su Jingxing could not retreat. The left and right side of his body were locked down by the terrifying aura.
Immediately, 300 years of spiritual essence cultivation erupted. Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence swept through his entire body and was channeled into his fists. He ruthlessly threw a Hundred Steps Reigning Fist at the Three-Headed Demon Dragon that was rushing over.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The stacked fist force instantly condensed into a huge fist imprint that exploded the air.
Round after round, layer after layer.
Pushed by the terrifying force, it collided head-on with the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.
The next moment——
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering bang.
A terrifying tremor spread in all directions and reverberated at the bottom of the cliff for a long time.
Plkch!
Plkch!
Plkch!
…
Sparks flew.
On the evolved Three-Headed Demon Dragon, there were strange flames that were too strong, entangled and torn apart by the shockwave and fist force.
After fighting for about three seconds, the stacked fist force suddenly exploded in midair with the Three-Headed Demon Dragon like fireworks.
Bang!
The thunderous sound shook the surroundings.
Brilliant light instantly scattered in the air and danced wildly in the sky. At the bottom of the cliff, it bloomed with its own unique charm.
Buzz!
The remaining shockwave swept up dust and dirt.
First to bear the brunt,
Su Jingxing was cleansed by the shockwave and took five steps back uncontrollably.
However, in the next moment, he fully circulated his five-transformations Golden Body and unleashed his strength in the third class of the Essence Opening realm. With a low roar, he charged forward without any fear.
Roar!
The strange demonic creature roared when it saw this.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions sounded in the air.
Su Jingxing's figure was like lightning as he stepped into the air. His entire body was dazzling as he ignored the burning of the demonic flames. The Wandering Dragon Saber shone and dissolved most of the evil aura. Just as he was about to collide with the demonic creature, he suddenly turned his body to avoid the stone slab and the Wandering Dragon Saber slashed across the neck of the strange demonic creature.
Bam! Bam!
A dull sound spread in all directions.
The head and neck of the strange demonic creature's head were separated. Its huge body continued forward with inertia, and the stone slab in its hand fell to the ground.
Energy erupted in the air, and shockwaves wreaked havoc.
Su Jingxing was pushed backward.
However, the Wandering Dragon Saber did not stop its attacks. It left his grip and flew on its own. It continued to slash at the strange demonic creature's head, causing it to explode!

Dead!
The strange demonic creature died just because its head exploded?
Since a card has been extracted, it means that the strange demonic creature had died.
This can also be verified after the strange demonic creature's huge body fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
But dying so easily doesn't quite match the identity of an Ancient Demon, does it?
Even the Snake Demon Half-Demon Overlords won't die immediately after their heads and bodies are separated.
There's definitely something odd about the strange demonic creature dying so quickly.
Su Jingxing stopped and pondered for a moment. He stood up and walked back, putting away the Wandering Dragon Saber.
The black and red stone slab did not move.
This weapon was too evil. It was better not to take it.
Time was limited, and Su Jingxing didn't have time to destroy it.
After some thought, he dug a huge pit and buried the stone slab.
Then, he turned around to chase after the Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords.
What happened to the strange demonic creature was not important for now. With this delay, he did not know where the two Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords that had escaped had gone.
As Su Jingxing traversed through space, he circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce the locations of the two Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords.
Soon, he left the bottom of the cliff and arrived on the surface.
When he did, he then realized that it was a huge palace, but most of the areas had collapsed.
All kinds of stone statues, carvings, and murals were scattered all over the ground. Occasionally, white bones could be seen in the ruins.
Following the guidance of the heavenly secret arts, Su Jingxing flew past the ancient halls that had been reduced to ruins and arrived in a wilderness.
At this point, he had finally experienced what the wilderness looked like.
The sky above his head was extremely dim, like an endless gauze net covering the ground.
The grayish-black clouds that were stacked together sometimes gathered together and sometimes dispersed.
Under the dark sky, all kinds of monsters were formed. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, tearing through the air.
Rustle! Rustle!
A breeze blew, and strange rustling sounds came from all directions.
A stifling, acerbic, and stimulating aura filled the air.
As soon as Su Jingxing sensed it, he held his breath. His spiritual essence formed a protective barrier and adjusted itself.
No wonder humans rarely stepped foot into the Southern Wilderness.
Putting everything else aside, just the strange aura that filled the air made it impossible for martial artists below the middle ranks to persevere.
Although this aura was not poisonous, it was especially stimulating to the human body.
Without true energy protecting the body, one wouldn't be able to last long.
As for the corresponding gas masks, they could be produced, but the price would definitely be extremely expensive. Similarly, they did not meet the conditions for mass promotion.
Su Jingxing held his breath and followed his senses.
He advanced thousands of meters on the dead and desolate wilderness.
Suddenly, Su Jingxing stopped in his tracks and looked at a bare tree trunk not far away.
On the trunk, a grayish-white humanoid monster that was more than two meters tall and three meters long was lying quietly.
Its grayish-white skin was densely covered in fine scales, revealing wisps of dark light, making it impossible to see its exact appearance. Its four powerful limbs were muscular and filled with explosive power. Its claws that were as sharp as iron hooks seemed to be able to tear through everything.
Heh!
A suppressed growl came from his mouth.
A pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes stared fixedly at Su Jingxing across the air.
"What kind of humanoid monster is this?"
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows.
The aura released by this humanoid monster in Su Jingxing's field of vision was extremely powerful. It was actually comparable to a second-grade martial artist.
Crack!
A few crisp sounds of falling leaves shattering could be heard. The humanoid monster lying on the trunk suddenly got down nimbly from the tree and moved towards Su Jingxing.
"Are you treating me as prey?"
Without batting an eyelid, Su Jingxing slowly took out the Wandering Dragon Saber.
Heh…
Unexpectedly, the humanoid monster did not attack immediately. Instead, it circled around Su Jingxing. The gaze in its bloodthirsty eyes was bright and cunning.
The humanoid monster did not attack.
Su Jingxing remained in a standoff with it, staring at it without blinking.
All of a sudden——
Aah ooh!
The humanoid monster suddenly snarled and pounced forward with its huge body. With its sharp claws in front and its mouth full of sharp teeth close behind, it rushed in front of Su Jingxing.
Hu!
The stench of blood struck his face.
Su Jingxing held his breath and merely stepped back slightly.
However, the humanoid monster did not stop. Its sharp claws tore through the air and quickly pushed close with a buzzing sound.
Its movements were as fast as a shadow as it arrived in front of Su Jingxing.
Immediately, Su Jingxing dodged to the right, avoiding the sharp attacks of the humanoid monster.
Then, he swung the Wandering Dragon Saber.
Swish!
Saber energy tore through the air.
With a thunderous force, as if it had eyes, it swiftly slashed at the face of the humanoid monster that was pouncing over.
If this slash struck, even if the skin of the humanoid monster was tough, it would still be split into two.
In the blink of an eye, the humanoid monster held back in midair. The moment it saw Su Jingxing's saber slashing down, it leaped back at an even faster speed than when it pounced over. It quickly retreated more than ten meters, causing Su Jingxing's slash to miss.
Tap tap tap!
Its feet stomped on the ground, producing dull thuds.
The humanoid monster growled, its bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Su Jingxing with hatred.
"Very fast huh?"
Su Jingxing growled and decided to end the battle quickly.
The reason why he stopped was because he wanted to kill this humanoid monster and see what cards he could extract.
The cards extracted from different species and lifeforms with different abilities were rarely the same.
Heh!
The humanoid monster growled. Its blood-red eyes widened as it stared fixedly at Su Jingxing. Unwilling to leave just like that, it moved its limbs again and circled around Su Jingxing. It opened its bloody mouth and kept letting out irritable roars.

"You're even threatening me?"
Su Jingxing's eyes flickered. He was slightly surprised by the intelligence of the humanoid monster.
At this moment, the humanoid monster that was circling around suddenly let out a furious roar and pounced at Su Jingxing at an even faster speed than before.
Swoosh!
Its speed was extremely fast.
In an instant, it was in front of Su Jingxing.
At this moment, Su Jingxing could even see the dense rows of fangs in the mouth of the humanoid monster, as well as the crazy, bloodthirsty, and cruel gaze in its eyes.
In a flash, he slashed out ruthlessly with a backhand strike.
Swoosh!
Saber energy bloomed.
Plkch!
A burst of grayish-green blood splattered in the air!
Roar!
The humanoid monster let out a miserable roar. One of its arms was severed, and its body crashed to the ground with a bang.
"Die!"
Su Jingxing swung his saber again.
Swoosh!
A dazzling saber energy bloomed instantly, sweeping across with a powerful aura.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Saber energy tore through the air.
The humanoid monster's blood-red eyes revealed jealousy and hatred, but it did not resist savagely. Its huge body rolled and leaped again, quickly dodging the saber energy's attack.
However, the moment it dodged, its shoulder was still sliced by the saber energy, leaving a deep wound.
This triggered the humanoid monster to snarl repeatedly. In its anger, it stomped on the ground and suddenly flew into the air.
Strong winds swept.
The humanoid monster swooped down from above!
Swish!
Like a hunting goshawk, it descended from the sky with a ferocious and domineering aura. Its remaining claw carried gusts of astral winds, determined to tear Su Jingxing into pieces.
"A sneak attack is useless against me."
Su Jingxing chuckled when he saw this. He bent down and dodged the diving attack. Then, the Wandering Dragon Saber in his hand suddenly turned around and stabbed into the abdomen of the humanoid monster from the side at an upward angle.
Swish!
Gray-green blood gushed out.
Su Jingxing felt the force in his hand slow down slightly. Immediately after, the tip of the Wandering Dragon Saber pierced through the humanoid monster's abdomen and came out from its back, ending all of the humanoid monster's hopes.
Fresh blood sprayed into the air like spring water.
Roar! Roar!
The penetrated humanoid monster opened its mouth and let out a miserable howl.
It used all its limbs and prepared to resist, but Su Jingxing didn't give it a chance. He exerted some force with the Wandering Dragon Saber and twisted it again!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sound of bones breaking could be heard.
In a fraction of a second, the Wandering Dragon Saber stirred the organs of the humanoid monster into a pile of mush.
Pa thump!
The struggling humanoid monster's body trembled. Finally, it hung limply on the Wandering Dragon Saber. Its mouth opened and closed, and it roared weakly twice before its eyes gradually closed.
[Card1]
Bang!
Su Jingxing raised his leg and kicked the dead humanoid monster to the side. He shook off the smelly blood on the Wandering Dragon Saber and the blade vibrated again, returning to its original state.
He took out two cards from his palm space.
The last one was from the corpse of the humanoid monster.
He got a Life Extension Card!
Compared to the Life Extension Card Su Jingxing had obtained previously, it contained less vitality, but it was still good.
Speaking of which, this humanoid monster's vitality was indeed very strong.
As for the second card, he extracted it from the corpse of the resurrected Ancient Demon.
He read the information, Skill Card!
An explosive secret ability.
It could release all the energy in his body instantly, and his might would increase by ten times.
"All the energy" included the vitality of a life!
"No wonder."
Su Jingxing put away the card and understood why the resurrected Ancient Demon died so quickly after its heads was blown up.
It turned out that it had exhausted all its strength attacking Su Jingxing previously.
To put it bluntly, such a secret ability was its final trump card.
It was almost equivalent to perishing together with the enemy.
With all energy exhausted in an instant, It would be difficult to escape with the remaining energy left.
Su Jingxing shook his head as he figured everything out.
Following the heavenly secret arts, he continued to chase after the Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords.
This chase lasted for half a day.
Under the dark sky, Su Jingxing entered a dense forest and discovered a group of people wrapped in a cold aura. They had no hair, and their faces, arms, and most of their skin were covered in silver-gray scales. They were gathered together and holding a certain ceremony.
Su Jingxing took a closer look. These scaled people had set up an array formation that was similar to an altar.
In the center of the array formation, four of the humanoid monsters that Su Jingxing had just killed were being roasted over a fire. The terrified cries of the humanoid monsters echoed through the sky.
As for the targets that Su Jingxing was chasing, the two Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords, like the Sword Demon, had shrunk into two iron plates and were placed on both sides of the fire.
In other words, like the Sword Demon, the Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords had also fallen into eternal sleep.
Of course, they could also be completely dead.
The Sword Demon could hibernate, but the Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords might not necessarily possess this ability.
In comparison, Su Jingxing was more curious about what these scaled people were. What were they doing?
At this moment——
Swish!
A cold killing intent suddenly descended from the sky and targeted Su Jingxing's brain.
Su Jingxing tilted his head and quickly retreated to the right.
However, the ambusher did not let him off just like that. It turned into a huge black shadow and continued to attack crazily with a cold and dead aura.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A fierce wind tore through the air and headed straight for Su Jingxing.
The terrifying force plowed deep ravines in the ground. Energy shot out everywhere like sharp arrows, throwing rocks and dust into the air.
"Hmph!"
Faced with such an attack, Su Jingxing growled.
Air Splitting Palm!
In an instant, the airflow in the air surged crazily. In just a few seconds, a huge translucent spiritual essence palm imprint emerged and collided fiercely with the huge black shadow.
Bang! Bang!
A dull explosion sounded. The spiritual essence palm imprint was blocked and turned into nothingness. The black shadow's attack was finally stopped and its true appearance was revealed.
He was tall and had scales all over his face, neck, and palms. His valiant aura was bloodthirsty and sinister.
This was also a scaled person!
Su Jingxing adjusted his aura and stared at the scaled muscular man who had ambushed him.
The other party seemed to be very interested as well. The corners of his lips curled up as he sized up Su Jingxing.
At this moment, the group of scaled men who were holding the sacrificial ceremony were no longer busy. They quickly ran over and surrounded Su Jingxing.
"Who is this fellow?"
"I don't know. He seems to be human."
"Human race? A human actually appeared here. Is he courting death?"
"Hehe, who knows what this fellow is thinking? An idiot who thinks he's a genius!"
"Tsk tsk, humans dare to come to our camp. They really don't know what's good for them."
"In my opinion, the other party is definitely not just an ordinary passerby."
…
The group of scaled men discussed animatedly in a strange language.
They were very surprised by Su Jingxing's sudden appearance.
Su Jingxing also understood their language!
It was not the language of any human nation, but the language of a race from ancient times.
Su Jingxing could understand it thanks to the Bone Demon.
Through the Bone Demon's memories, he learned many secrets.
Understanding the demon language and the foreign races' language were two of them.
The Winged Ones!
These scaled men were actually from the ancient race, the Winged Ones.
They spoke in the language of the Winged Ones.
However, the Winged Ones all had wings.
Yet these people did not have wings. Why was that so?
Su Jingxing was puzzled when he heard the Winged Ones shout.
"Kill him! Kill this human!"
With someone taking the lead, others immediately echoed.
"Yes, kill him! Eat his flesh!"
"I heard that human flesh is delicious! Leader, kill him!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Instantly, shouts and yells filled the air.
All the members of the Wings Race had sinister expressions on their faces. Their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty desire as they looked at Su Jingxing greedily, saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.
"Shut up!"
A loud shout suddenly sounded, suppressing the shouts of all the Winged Ones present
It was their tall leader who had ambushed Su Jingxing. His cold eyes swept across the crowd.
Under this gaze, all the members immediately shut up, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing this, the tall leader turned his gaze to Su Jingxing and said in surprise.
"You are… a human spiritual martial artist?"

Human language!
The words spoken by the tall leader were actually the universal language of humans.
Although he was very unnatural, like a foreigner speaking another country's language, it was indeed human language.
Surprised, Su Jingxing replied with a question, "You are the Winged Ones?"
"You know that we are the Winged Ones?" The tall leader was delighted, but he thought of something and quickly restrained himself. He asked again, "Are you a human spiritual martial artist?"
"So what if I am and so what if I'm not?" Su Jingxing replied coolly.
"You are definitely a human spiritual martial artist!"
The tall leader's eyes flickered as he said in a deep voice, "Human divine martial artists can't enter this place. There are very few human spiritual martial artists. I've only heard from my ancestors that human spiritual martial artists have powerful physical bodies and can be comparable to that of Spirit Race experts. The source of the name "spiritual martial arts" comes from the Spirit Race!"
There's such a thing?
Su Jingxing was surprised. He could sense that the tall leader wasn't lying.
There was nothing to lie about.
In other words, the origin of a spiritual martial artist was really related to the Spirit Race.
The Spirit Clan was another race that he had never come into contact with.
At the very least, there was no such race on Earth Star's continents. This race probably came from another human world.
So far, Su Jingxing finally understood that there were many worlds, or planets, where humans lived outside of Earth Star.
For example, in the Black Flame Caves, the desolate world where he had a strange dream about was a planet where humans lived.
The humans on Earth Star were just one member of the human race.
Be it the Winged Ones or the demons, they were all from other worlds.
However, unlike the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect that descended directly from space, the Winged Ones and the demons had most likely come to Earth Star through the Void World.
And it was unknown how many more similar existences there were.
Su Jingxing pondered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.
"That's right. I'm a spiritual martial artist. What do you mean when you said that divine martial artists can't come here?"
"Literally what it means," said the tall leader in a deep voice. "I'm Sha Lou. May I know your name?"
"Huang Tianhua." Su Jingxing habitually used his new alias.
"So you're Huang Tianhua," said Sha Lou in a low voice. "The attack earlier was just a precautionary measure to see if you were from an ancient site. Now I've cleared things up, you're a human spiritual martial artist. My apologies, I hope you can forgive me."
"…It's fine. Since it's a misunderstanding, all is good now that we've cleared things up."
Su Jingxing's lips twitched, but he had no intention of pursuing the matter.
Although the sneak attack earlier was filled with killing intent at the beginning, there was indeed no killing intent later on.
And Su Jingxing could sense that this leader of the Winged Ones called Sha Lou was also in the Transcendent-grade!
As for whether he was inclined towards the physical body or the soul,
Su Jingxing couldn't tell.
He had only learned a little about this race through the Bone Demon's memories.
However, their exact habits, characteristics, and path to becoming stronger were unknown.
Now that Sha Lou did not show any malice, Su Jingxing did not want to gain another unknown enemy for no reason.
Naturally, he wouldn't be so free as to insist on killing him.
…
"Everyone, stand down."
Sha Lou waved his hand and asked the other Winged Ones to retreat.
"My friend, this way please." Sha Lou extended his hand and invited, "This is not the place to talk. How about we go up the mountain?"
"Sure." Su Jingxing nodded and followed behind.
The two of them quickly left the altar and went up to a platform at the top of the mountain.
"I didn't expect a human to come here after more than ten thousand years."
Sha Lou looked at the distant sky and sighed. "My friend, you might be very puzzled as to why I asked that earlier, right?"
Without waiting for Su Jingxing's answer, he continued, "Because this is a sealed place!"
"A sealed place?" Su Jingxing was puzzled.
"Yes, the area that seals the Heavenly Demons."
Sha Lou said in a low voice, "More than 10,000 years ago, a Heavenly Demon descended into this world. Human experts fought for decades, and more than 100,000 people died before they killed the Heavenly Demon. However, the corpses of the Heavenly Demons cannot be destroyed, and over time, they can be revived. Therefore, through a secret method, we barely managed to split the Heavenly Demon's corpse into three pieces and seal them in three areas. This place is one of them!"
Su Jingxing didn't show any surprise on his face, but he was shocked inwardly.
He didn't expect such a secret to exist.
"Heavenly Demon? Heavenly Demon ancient sites?" Su Jingxing murmured.
"Yes, there is a ruin not far from here. That's where the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse is sealed."
Sha Lou pointed in the direction Su Jingxing had come from and said in a deep voice, "The Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse has been buried underground for more than 10,000 years. It hasn't been damaged for such a long time. Under its influence, this area has been corroded and life has mutated. The reason why our race has become like this is because we were affected by it.
"It's been more than 10,000 years. No one has been able to leave this place. The area within a thousand miles' radius has become a land of peril.
"Back then, when the human experts sealed the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse, they also sealed the entire region to prevent it from recovering too quickly.
"At first, we could still enter and exit this area, but later, due to the influence of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse, we were no longer able to do so.
"The reason why the Winged Ones are trapped here is because you people barged in without knowing?" Su Jingxing was curious.
"Yes."
Shalou replied calmly, "When our ancestors heard that the aura of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse would give birth to a treasure medicine, they brought people over to guard it to make it convenient to retrieve the treasure medicine when it matured. In the end, they were trapped here and could not leave anymore. The clansmen who remained were then affected by the aura of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse and slowly mutated. In the end, their wings fell off and they became like this."

Su Jingxing remained silent.
It turned out that the Winged Ones had brought this upon themselves.
Of course, luck was also key. They were unlucky to be trapped in this area.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, no one could leave or enter.
And the Broken Corpse Heavenly Demon was actually sealed beside the Demon's Den.
Across the fourth Demon's Den, a piece of Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse was actually sealed inside.
Su Jingxing had gained a rough understanding of the Heavenly Demon through the Bone Demon's memories.
This was the strongest among the demons, a born demon, a king who was comparable to the Primordial Spirit realm when it reached adulthood. If it cultivated it, it would only be stronger.
The Heavenly Demon Corpse could not be destroyed, and could only be split into three pieces.
Most importantly, it would revive over time.
If it were to come back alive, who on Earth Star could stop it?
Compared to the Bone Demon, the Sword Demon, and the Snake Demon, the Heavenly Demon was the true threat.
This was because no one knew what realm this fellow would be in after its resurrection.
Su Jingxing felt fearful for no reason at the thought of a piece of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse lying beneath the ruins he had come from earlier on.
That Door of Darkness had to be destroyed!
Right, the Door of Darkness.
Looking at the Sha Lou who was beside him, Su Jingxing recalled what he had said earlier and was suddenly jolted awake.
This leader of the Winged Ones sure has a quick mind. What a good plan.
They actually wanted to leave this d*mned place through him!
That's right, it'd been more than ten thousand years.
Entry and exit of this area was impossible, but Su Jingxing, a human spiritual martial artist, had appeared here.
What did this mean?
It meant that the Winged Ones could also leave this place!
At this thought, Su Jingxing chuckled and said coolly, "Leader Sha, do you want to leave this place?"
Su Jingxing couldn't be bothered to waste his breath and went straight to the point.
"Yes."
Sha Lou retracted his gaze from the distance and his gaze landed on Su Jingxing. He said seriously, "Since you were able to come here, it means that there is a passageway that can connect to the outside world. In ancient times, the Winged Ones was an ally of the human race…"
"Ally?"
Su Jingxing interrupted, "Are your allies meant to be killed and eaten? I haven't forgotten that your brothers shouted at me just now and were rallying to kill me to eat my flesh."
"Um…"
Embarrassed, Sha Lou scratched his head and smiled wryly. "I'm sorry, they didn't mean to."
"Didn't mean to?" Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and caught the key point.
"Yes, it wasn't intentional." Sha Lou sighed and explained, "My friend, you should have seen the four strange people on the fire in the center of the altar, right?"
"Are they related to the Winged Ones?" Su Jingxing asked calmly.
"It's not that they are related, but they were once our clansmen!"
Sha Lou took a deep breath and revealed a shocking truth.
"To be honest, as time passed, the influence of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse became more and more severe. Under the corrosion of the Heavenly Demon's aura, all life in this area has lost their sentience and become…"
"That's not right," interrupted Su Jingxing again. "On the way here, I just killed a humanoid monster like the kind you captured. It was very intelligent and kept fighting me, wanting to surround and hunt me."
"It has probably just completely mutated." Sha Lou gritted his teeth and said, "The newly mutated monsters still retain some sentience, but in at most three days, these sentience will dissipate and they will become demonic creatures with only devouring instincts!"
"Alright." Su Jingxing nodded and did not probe further.
It turned out that the humanoid monster's true form was a Winged One.
Under the influence of the Heavenly Demon aura, it mutated into a monster without sentience.
"The aura of a Heavenly Demon is extremely terrifying. If we don't leave this place, in at most ten years, everyone, including me, will completely mutate and become the kind of demonic creature you killed."
Sha Lou said in a hoarse voice, "This also means that the resurrection of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse is not far. Once the Heavenly Demon is revived, the entire area will become a demon territory."
"So, you want to use me to leave this place?" Su Jingxing pondered and said, "What benefits will I get from helping you and your people?"
Su Jingxing was not a saint.
Earlier on, Sha Lou had ambushed him, and now that Sha Lou had spoken, he would help the Winged Ones leave through the Door of Darkness.
How could it be that easy?
Whether the Winged Ones were an ally of the humans in ancient times was to be confirmed.
The key was what the Winged Ones had become now.
As soon as Su Jingxing appeared, they wanted to kill him and eat his flesh.
If he took them away to the outside world, wouldn't these fellows be killing people everywhere?
Of course, there was a limited number of Winged Ones. Although Sha Lou was in the Transcendent-grade, humans had Martial Sages and Primordial Spirit realm experts like Sword Sages.
If these Winged Ones were to really commit a crime, they would immediately be slaughtered.
Su Jingxing mentioned conditions to find a reason for himself, or rather, a guarantee.
Sha Lou was a smart person and quickly understood what Su Jingxing meant.
"Don't worry, my friend. After we leave, we will never offend the human race.
"Previously, my clansmen offended you because they have been corroded for a long time. Their rationality is gradually dissipating. As time passes, they will turn into monsters…"
"You've already said all this, and I already know. There's no need to mention it again," Su Jingxing interrupted again. "I just want to know, what benefits will I get from helping you guys leave this place?
"Or, let's fight again. You defeat me, imprison me, interrogate me, and get the way out from me?"
"No, no, definitely not."
Sha Lou laughed dryly and raised his hand to explain, "Friend Huang Tianhua, you're thinking too much. I was just taking precautions and thought that the monsters had come to our camp. I definitely didn't mean anything else.
"As for imprisoning and interrogating, that's all the more sheer nonsense. Besides, I can't defeat you."
The last part about being unable to defeat him was the most important!
The human race's spiritual martial arts were powerful, and everyone knew about that.
Although he had only heard his ancestors mention it, and this was the first time he was seeing it for himself, he was smart enough to make the right choice. It was not to make an enemy of, but to befriend them.
Getting into a bad relationship was the stupidest way.
That's right, they wanted to leave this place, but the outcome of them falling out with each other, whether good or bad, could not compare to befriending each other.
If he won, he would have to capture and interrogate him. If Su Jingxing would rather die than submit and self-destruct, wouldn't the opportunity they had waited so long for be destroyed in the blink of an eye?
If he lost, he'd be even more helpless. You've already made a move, and you still expect others to help you?
What a joke!
Therefore, the only way was to befriend him.
As it turned out, Sha Lou's choice was right. The two of them chatted happily.
Although Su Jingxing had listed a condition, that was better than rejecting him directly, right?
At this thought, Sha Lou took a deep breath and said, "We don't have anything good that we can give to you, but we can guarantee that we will never offend the human race!"
Without waiting for Su Jingxing to speak, he quickly continued, "Friend, let me finish.
"I know. Verbal promises won't work.
"Therefore, in order to reassure you, I will take the entire race and swear a soul oath!
"As long as we swear a soul oath, the Winged Ones will never be able to offend the human race. Even if you kill us, we cannot resist."
This…
Su Jingxing was a little surprised.
Such a terrifying soul oath did exist.
The Winged Ones were also very determined to get out.
They were even throwing away all routes of retreat.
If humans killed them, they would not resist.
Of course, if they really wanted to leave, they could run.
Escaping was not considered resisting.
Given the speed of the Winged Ones, they would run to a certain land of peril and hide silently.
No one would be able to find them.
"Other than that."
Seeing that Su Jingxing was silent, Sha Lou continued, "I can also swear an oath that the entire Winged Ones is willing to serve you for a hundred years!"
Selling themselves as slaves?
Su Jingxing was surprised to hear that. Then, he smiled and said, "Your plan is still as brilliant as ever."
Hmm?
Puzzled, Sha Lou asked, "What do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
"You know very well what I mean." Su Jingxing smiled but did not expose him. "Alright, I agree."
"But!"

Report chapter
Su Jingxing paused and said in a low voice, "But, the condition has to be changed!
"I don't need all the Winged Ones to serve me. You alone will do.
"And it doesn't have to be a hundred years. 30 years will do.
"How's that?"
Su Jingxing looked at Sha Lou with a smile.
The latter's eyes flashed, and he nodded. "Of course, no problem. Sha Lou greets my Lord!"
With that, he knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Su Jingxing.
Then, without another word, he began to swear an oath.
An oath between a ruler and his subject made with the mind as the foundation and the soul as the guide.
This was not an oath between master and servant.
The latter allowed the master to decide the fate.
An oath between a ruler and his subject gave the ruler the ability to apply many restrictions on them, but he did not have the right to kill at will.
This was different from that with true emperors and ministers.
In ancient times, the emperors could kill the ministers at will, and the ministers could also revolt and kill the emperors.
With this oath, Su Jingxing could not kill Sha Lou, but he could punish him.
However, Sha Lou could not deal with Su Jingxing. In other words, he could not betray him. This was better than being master and servant, but he was still restricted.
As for not wanting the entire Winged Ones and only Sha Lou, it was because Su Jingxing had seen through Sha Lou's little schemes.
The "entire Winged Ones" that Sha Lou mentioned was just the team that was trapped in this forbidden area and could not leave.
They were not the real Winged Ones at all.
He didn't know if the real Winged Ones existed on Earth Star, but they definitely did on other planets and worlds.
What right did a Transcendent-grade like Sha Lou have to represent the entire Winged Ones?
He was just playing with words. When the time came, not only would Su Jingxing not get the help of the Winged Ones, he would also anger those in other worlds and planets.
And even if he was exposed, Sha Lou wouldn't admit to such little schemes.
The other party's attitude was clear. He didn't even want his freedom anymore. What else do you want?
Su Jingxing didn't expose him, but he wouldn't let him cause trouble either. He directly targeted Sha Lou himself.
In this way, Sha Lou had no escape.
The moment he made the oath, a line appeared in Su Jingxing's mind.
A unique soul branch line that led to the outside.
From this moment on, Sha Lou would be Su Jingxing's first subordinate. Other than not being able to kill him, he would be at Su Jingxing's mercy for the next 30 years.
Of course, Su Jingxing wouldn't be so lame as to hit and scold a Transcendent-grade for no reason.
As a Winged One in the Transcendent-grade, without wings, his strength was greatly reduced.
But if he could grow wings again, he would definitely be a great helper.
Therefore, this deal was worth it.
…
"You guys roasted your former clansmen on a fire because you wanted to eat them?"
Now that his identity was established, Su Jingxing spoke casually.
"Of course not."
Sha Lou smiled bitterly. "They are of the same race, after all. Why would we eat them? The reason why we set them on fire was to see if we could turn them back.
"According to the messages left behind by our ancestors, the Sword Demon Iron has the ability to stimulate sentience under the burning of flames.
"Coincidentally, two Sword Demon Half-Demons broke into our territory for some reason. I captured them and turned them into Sword Demon Iron. Together with four of my former clansmen, we roasted them.
"I don't know if this method will work. At the very least, there's no good news yet."
"I see." Su Jingxing nodded. "According to what you said, doesn't that make the Sword Demon Iron a treasure material?"
"Yes."
Sha Lou said seriously, "The Sword Demon Iron is one of the best materials to forge divine and Dao weapons. The Sword Demon Half-Demons are a little lacking. I was referring to the true Sword Demon Iron that is transformed from the Sword Demon!"
"Dao weapon?" Su Jingxing did not probe further. Instead, he caught the word "Dao weapon" and asked curiously, "Dao weapons and divine weapons are not the same?"
"Of course not."
Sha Lou did not look down on him or mock him. He replied seriously, "Divine weapons are powerful weapons evolved from Divine Weapon Seeds, and the Divine Weapon Seed comes from the Divine Weapon World. The Divine Weapon World is extremely mysterious, and few people in the world know where it is.
"Once a divine weapon is forged, its power will be fixed, and there will be no difference in grade.
"Dao weapons are different. Apart from being naturally nurtured by the Great Dao of the universe, they can also be produced through engraving with Dao marks on them using great divine arts.
"Dao weapons have grades, and there are traces of the Great Dao on them. The more Dao marks there are, the higher the grade, and the stronger the power.
"To put it simply, the power of a divine weapon is fixed and cannot be advanced, but Dao weapons can continuously become stronger, right?" Su Jingxing concluded.
"That's right. The might of a divine weapon is determined by the seed, but the might of a Dao weapon is determined by people. The deeper one's comprehension of the Great Dao of the universe, the more marks one leaves on the Dao weapon, the stronger its might," Sha Lou explained.
Swish!
A glow bloomed.
Su Jingxing took out the Heaven Sealing Staff and tossed it to Sha Lou. He said calmly, "See if this is a Dao weapon. If so, what grade it is."
Sha Lou hurriedly took it and held it in his hand. He carefully sensed it. A moment later, he nodded and said, "This staff is indeed a Dao weapon. There are two marks of the Great Dao on it, so it is a two-mark weapon."
A two-mark Dao weapon?
Su Jingxing nodded and took back the Heaven Sealing Staff from Sha Lou.
There was no need for him to hide this from one of his own.
Su Jingxing now knew that there were many types of spatial treasures.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Bone Demon's memories only contained the latter half, Su Jingxing wouldn't have needed to get this information from Sha Lou.
Sword Demon Iron, Dao Weapons, Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse, Winged Ones, Divine Weapon World…
There are too many unknowns and mysteries.
Su Jingxing sighed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He called out, "There's nothing else. Let's go down the mountain. The sooner we complete the oath, the sooner we can leave this d*mned place."
"Yes!"
Sha Lou responded respectfully.

The two of them immediately left the mountain.
How to persuade the other Winged Ones to swear not to offend humans was Sha Lou's business.
Su Jingxing waited on the altar and checked the two pieces of metal that the Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords had turned into, trying to sense the abnormality within.
In the end, he found nothing. Clearly, Sha Lou's plan had failed.
Use the Sword Demon Iron to stimulate his four former clansmen to recover their sentience.
It was completely wishful thinking.
As for the exact reason, it could be that this method was fake to begin with, or that the Sword Demon Half-Demon Overlords' realms were insufficient.
If it was the real Sword Demon Iron in Su Jingxing's palm space, the effect might be different.
However, it was difficult to tell whether such an attempt was real or fake. Coupled with the fact that the Sword Demon Iron was rare and the aura of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse in this sealed area was getting stronger and stronger, there was no need for Su Jingxing to take out the real Sword Demon Iron.
They were just four former Winged Ones, not humans.
Su Jingxing wouldn't be overly concerned about foreign races.
As he pondered, a feeling suddenly appeared in his mind. Then a second, a third, a fourth…
Success!
It was unknown how Sha Lou persuaded them, but all the Winged Ones in the camp swore a soul oath that they would no longer offend humans from today onwards.
Su Jingxing sensed every oath that was made.
Of course, ordinary people and most martial artists could not do this.
Su Jingxing could because his soul power was powerful enough.
Martial Sages above the fifth or sixth class of the Void Soul realm could sense it when they were close to the members of the Winged Ones!
…
When all the Winged Ones had taken their oath, Su Jingxing fulfilled his promise and led them back to the Heavenly Demon ancient site.
There were less than a hundred people in this group. Most of them were adults, and there were only three children.
It wasn't that they didn't want to give birth to more, but as the aura of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse intensified, they weren't in the mood to.
Their minds were filled with bloodthirsty desire. Eat, eat, eat.
Although they could still suppress this devouring desire with their rationality, how could they produce children under such circumstances?
If not for the sake of continuing the race's lineage, they would have long given up.
Giving birth to children in a sealed area was totally sinning.
Under the corrosion of the aura of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse, the child would be born without wings.
To put it bluntly, Sha Lou and company were all aberrations.
They were already lucky to have lasted until Su Jingxing's arrival.
As for the treasure medicine that they were searching for back then, they had indeed found it, but failed to bring it out in time. It was trapped in the sealed land with them.
After so many years, the treasure medicine had no effect on the corrosion of the Heavenly Demon's aura.
In the end, even precious herbs were no longer produced.
The aura of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse was too terrifying.
If it weren't for the fact that Su Jingxing was the first person to enter the sealed land in so many years and personally led the way, these Winged Ones wouldn't have dared to step into the Heavenly Demon ancient site.
Naturally, no one had thought that the way out would be inside the area where the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse was sealed.
They couldn't wait to escape, so why would they go to the Heavenly Demon ancient site?
…
Su Jingxing led the way.
Sha Lou led all his people and followed behind.
The group walked silently through the empty and quiet ruin.
Only when they reached the bottom of the cliff where the Door of Darkness was, passed through it and stepped into the Little Demon World did all the Winged Ones cheer and jump with excitement.
"We're out, we're out, we're finally out!"
"Haha, boohoo, we don't have to turn into demonic creatures anymore. Boohoo…"
"No, something is wrong here. Why is there demonic energy everywhere?"
…
In the group, some were crying, some were laughing.
However, someone quickly returned to his senses and exclaimed as he looked at the demonic energy floating in the air.
"This is not the human world! This is demon territory, the Demon World!"
"What's going on? Wasn't it agreed that we're going to the human world? Why is it the Demon World?"
"That human lied to us! He lied to us!"
…
The crowd was agitated. The Winged Ones who were crying and laughing all looked at Su Jingxing.
Sha Lou only frowned slightly.
"Did I say that this is the human world?"
Su Jingxing met the furious gazes of all the Winged Ones and said calmly, "This is the Little Demon World. It's still far from the human world."
"My Lord, are you saying that we have to pass through the Little Demon World to enter the human world?" asked Sha Lou from the side.
"Pretty much that."
Su Jingxing replied, "The Little Demon World is connected to the human world. There are a total of four Doors of Darkness like this in the Eastern Continent. The sealed land you guys were in previously is called the Southern Wilderness. It's also located on the Eastern Continent, but it's in the wilderness. The exits of the three other Doors of Darkness are all in places where humans are active in the Eastern Continent. As long as you pass through any of the three Doors of Darkness, you can reach the underground of the Demon's Den in the human world."
"I see." Sha Lou nodded in realization.
The other Winged Ones also shut up and looked away awkwardly.
Turns out we haven't arrived yet. We cursed too early. No, we've cursed wrongly.
Fortunately, Su Jingxing did not get angry.
Su Jingxing wasn't that petty either. These members of the Winged Ones were about to go crazy in the sealed area. They were just cursing in their agitation. It wasn't like he would lose a piece of flesh.
In comparison, Su Jingxing suddenly realized that the four Doors of Darkness that connected the Little Demon World to the human world were all in the Eastern Continent.
The problem was that there were also Demon's Dens on the Western Continent!
What's the situation with the Demon's Den over there?
Could it be that the Demon's Dens on the Western Continent aren't connected to the Little Demon World?
Or are there other Little Demon Worlds?
Of course, it was also possible that the Demon's Dens in the Western Continent was in actuality just one Demon's Den, a cave where the Ancient Demons had once lived.
He would only know the details after a field trip.
Su Jingxing had better take care of the Little Demon World first for now.
On the way here, Sha Lou had said that he didn't know where the other two pieces of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse were. He had never heard his ancestors mention them.
It was also unknown where exactly the piece in the Heavenly Demon ancient site was buried.
Su Jingxing had walked in and out but did not extract any cards.
Unable to figure out the situation, he could only temporarily close the Door of Darkness behind him.
Yes, the Door of Darkness could be closed.
In the Bone Demon's memories, there was a complete way to open and close it.
Su Jingxing asked Sha Lou to lead the Winged Ones towards the Demon's Den that connected to the underground of Dongting Mountain first.
He stayed behind and spent a lot of effort closing the Door of Darkness.
There was still time to deal with the threat of the Heavenly Demon.
He would discuss it with the other Martial Sages after he left this time.
Of course, Su Jingxing would not stand on ceremony and would take the demonic energy from the Little Demon World first.
Without wings, the speed of the Wings Race was greatly reduced.
After entering the Little Demon World, Su Jingxing didn't have to worry about anything else. He directly released his spiritual essence aura and wrapped it around all the Winged Ones. He led them and Sha Lou to the Door of Darkness.
The Snake Demon's body was still writhing at the Door of Darkness.
The Blood Doppelganger had not destroyed the Snake Demon's head completely.
Helpless, he could only get Sha Lou to grab the Snake Demon's body and throw it aside.
Su Jingxing and the Winged Ones in front and Sha Lou behind, they came to the underground cave of Dongting Mountain through the Door of Darkness.
Sha Lou was shocked to see the Blood Doppelganger destroying a huge snake head.
He only relaxed when Su Jingxing said that he was one of their own.
One had to follow through everything to the end.
Su Jingxing wrapped the Winged Ones and left the Demon's Den. He walked out of Dongting Mountain and headed straight for Green Cloud Mountain.
He temporarily placed the Winged Ones on Green Cloud Mountain to be looked after by Shalou.
Unknowingly, Green Cloud Mountain had become Su Jingxing's base.
Especially since Green Cloud Mountain was very mysterious, Su Jingxing didn't want to let it go.
He brought the Winged Ones to Green Cloud Mountain to look for the Flying Lion army, now the Flying Fish organization. He introduced them to one another and got Flying Fish to provide all kinds of convenience, such as food, housing, and so on.
After everything was settled, Su Jingxing returned to Dongting Mountain and the underground Demon's Den. He entered the Little Demon World and began to absorb the demonic energy to increase his cultivation.
Of course, before that, he had completely destroyed the Snake Demon's head and extracted a card.
Then, the Blood Doppelganger entered the Door of Darkness as a protector to prevent other demon slaves and Half-Demons from disturbing him.
Su Jingxing circulated Vast Ocean and absorbed large amounts of demonic energy in the air.
As the demonic energy was refined, the cultivation of the Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence continued to increase.
310 years, 315 years, 320 years…
…
Furious Dragon River.
At the border between the Zheng Nation and the Wei Nation, downstream of the waters, in the Demon's Den beneath the thousand-foot mountain by the river.
Luo Ao and the Wei Nation's Martial Sage spent some effort and finally killed the demonic creatures that rushed out of the Door of Darkness.
The two people in the Transcendent-grade were exhausted.
At this moment, they were panting heavily, their faces covered in sweat.
"Brother… Brother Luo, how is it?"
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage said slowly, "How is your contacting of Sword Sage Pei going?"
"I've managed to contact him!"
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Contacted?
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed. He said excitedly, "That's great!"
"Where is Sword Sage Pei? When will he come over?"
"Although we have killed all the current demonic creatures, there are still countless demonic creatures behind the Door of Darkness. Without Sword Sage Pei, we are no match for the powerful existences among them, especially the three Ancient Demons."
"I know." Luo Ao exhaled and said in a deep voice, "Master is already rushing here.
"When Master arrives, he will immediately destroy the Door of Darkness!"
Uh…
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage opened his mouth and asked curiously, "Sword Sage Pei knows how to destroy the Door of Darkness? Have you guys seen it before?"
"No," Luo Ao replied indifferently. "Who said that it can't be destroyed just because we haven't seen it? With my Master's strength, what is a mere Door of Darkness?"
…Fine!
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage was speechless. Sword Sage Pei is in the Primordial Spirit realm and the number one expert in the world.
It's only right that he can destroy the Door of Darkness.
It will only be a problem if he cannot do so.
Cough cough!
…
At the same time.
North Sea.
On the coastline of the Xu Nation, the Demon's Den under the island.
Yu Xiangtian and the Martial Sage of the Xu Nation had also killed all the monsters that rushed out of the Door of Darkness and earned a short break.
"How… how is it? How many people have you contacted?" asked Yu Xiangtian, panting.
"Five!"
The Xu Nation's Martial Sage also calmed down and said, "A total of five people, including the one overseas, are rushing over."
"The one overseas was also convinced? That's good, that's good." Yu Xiangtian was pleasantly surprised. "With that person, we can at least stabilize the situation. Without someone in the Primordial Spirit realm, no one can resist the three Ancient Demons. If that person comes, even if we can't win, we won't be defeated."
"That's true."
The Xu Nation's Martial Sage nodded hard. "Who would have thought that these Ancient Demons could live for so long? Now, they even want to come out from underground and harm humans. If not for the fact that the Yu Nation's Martial Sage discovered this early, we would have to wait for the matter to erupt and countless casualties before we learn of the Ancient Demons' conspiracy."
"The Yu Nation's Martial Sage was lucky."
Yu Xiangtian sighed. "I have to say that the heavens are on our side. Otherwise, who knows how many people will die when the Ancient Demons emerge."
"Yeah… Huh? They're here!"
Suddenly, the Xu Nation's Martial Sage perked up and turned to look at the passageway that connected to the exit.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With the sound of rushing wind, three figures descended from above one after another and appeared underground.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Moments later, two more figures appeared underground less than three minutes between their arrival.
"Brother Shi, Brother Hua, thank you for coming all the way here."
The Xu Nation's Martial Sage rushed over and thanked them.
"You're welcome. The Demon's Dens concerns the entire human race, so it's necessary to come and help." Shi Que waved his hand indifferently.
"That's right. The Yu Nation's Martial Sage has already reminded us. At this time, no one can stand by idly." Another Transcendent-grade martial artist followed behind and sighed.
"Since Senior Xiahou is here too, we naturally have to come," said a burly man in a muffled voice.
With that, Yu Xiangtian and the others looked at the last person to come down.
It was a slender middle-aged man with delicate features who was dressed in ancient short-range combat attire.
As he walked, there was no flow of blood and Qi around him, and his aura was as calm as an ordinary person.
His gaze was gentle and his temperament was elegant. No matter how one looked at him, he did not look like a martial artist.
However, even if everyone present were to join forces, they would not be able to do anything to him.
Xiahou Chuanwu!
The expert in the Primordial Spirit realm from overseas.
While the physical body of the Xu Nation's Martial Sage remained here, his Essence Soul had spent a lot of effort to contact Xiahou Chuanwu and persuade him to come to the Demon's Den to suppress the demonic creatures.
Xiahou Chuanwu's appearance and temperament may seem refined and cultured, even more scholarly than a scholar, once he got physical, he would be ferocious and crazy. He would be completely different from usual.
Xiahou Chuanwu looked young, but he was already 200 years old this year.
Before the rise of Sword Sage Pei, he was the number one expert in the world.
Xiahou Chuanwu was not lacking in talent, aptitude, perseverance, and opportunities. Compared to Sword Sage Pei who specialized in the sword, Xiahou Chuanwu's sword, painting, and calligraphy were all extremely stunning. They were known as the three peerless.
Three Peerless Martial Sage was Xiahou Chuanwu's title.
It had to be said that the Xu Nation's Martial Sage was quite lucky that he managed to invite Xiahou Chuanwu.
Of course, this was also due to the influence of the Demon's Den. Once the Ancient Demons returned to the surface, it would be a catastrophe, a catastrophe even more terrifying than earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions.
Xiahou Chuanwu rarely appeared. To put it bluntly, he was forced to come this time.
Shi Que and the other Martial Sages were naturally included.
In terms of age, realm, and strength, Xiahou Chuanwu was a senior.
Yu Xiangtian and the others were all respectful because of this.
"Senior Xiahou, I don't know how many more demonic creatures there are. The best solution now is to destroy the Door of Darkness. Can you do that?"
Yu Xiangtian looked at Xiahou Chuanwu and asked.
"There's no hurry."
Xiahou Chuanwu slowly floated in front of the Door of Darkness and circled it. He said calmly, "This Door of Darkness cannot be destroyed."
Cannot be destroyed?
Yu Xiangtian, the Xu Nation's Martial Sage, Shi Que, and the others were stunned.
"If it is destroyed, it will cause the space to collapse on a large scale."
Xiahou Chuanwu said in a low voice, "When that happens, once we don't control it well, it will extend for hundreds or thousands of miles. At that time, not to mention the Xu Nation, even the Xue Nation and the Kang Nation will suffer, with countless casualties."
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

This!
Yu Xiangtian, Shi Que, and the others were all stunned.
"In that case, won't we have to leave the Door of Darkness open?" asked the Xu Nation's Martial Sage indignantly.
"If it opens, it can naturally be closed." Xiahou Chuanwu regained his composure and said indifferently, "As long as we study the forging method of the Door of Darkness, we can close it."
"That may be the case, but no one knows how long it will take to study the Door of Darkness. During this time, what if the demonic creatures come out again?" Shi Que asked in a low voice.
"If the demonic creatures emerge, we'll kill them."
Xiahou Chuanwu remained calm and collected. "It's best if the three Ancient Demons come out from inside. It'll save me the trouble of going over and killing them."
"That's right. There's no need to wait here. We can charge in and destroy the Ancient Demons."
"Without the Ancient Demons, the other demonic creatures can be dealt with at any time.
Yu Xiangtian and the rest fell silent.
Enter the Door of Darkness?
The danger would be instantly doubled and doubled.
But what Xiahou Chuanwu said made sense.
Why did so many demonic creatures come through the Door of Darkness?
It was because the Ancient Demons were driving the act behind the scenes.
With the Ancient Demons dead, the demonic creatures would dissipate naturally without much effort.
At this thought, Yu Xiangtian said, "Alright, let's charge in and kill the Ancient Demons!"
"Count me in!" agreed Shi Que.
"Count me in too."
"How can I miss such a big event?"
The others echoed their agreement, including the Martial Sage of the Xu Nation.
"There's no need for that." Yu Xiangtian looked at the Xu Nation's Martial Sage and advised, "The few of us will go in. You have to guard outside. Don't let the demonic creatures have a chance to emerge and go to the surface."
"Yes, there has to be someone guarding the outside too." Shi Que nodded.
The Martial Sage of the Xu Nation thought for a moment and agreed.
"I'll go in too."
After listening to the few people, Xiahou Chuanwu's figure flashed and entered the Door of Darkness.
"Heh, then I'll be the second." Shi Que grinned and followed behind.
However, just as he was about to enter——
Hu!
A gust of wind suddenly swept out from the Door of Darkness.
A figure was pushed out by a huge force with it.
Bang!
Ugh!
The sound of collision and muffled groans sounded one after another.
Shi Que was sent flying dozens of meters back and crashed into the cave wall before stopping.
His clothes were ruffled and wrinkled, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His breathing was unstable.
The figure that bumped into him was fine. It flew back more than ten meters before stabilizing itself and standing in midair.
"Senior Xiahou?"
Yu Xiangtian and the others got a clear look of the person who had retreated. It was actually Xiahou Chuanwu, the first person to enter the Door of Darkness.
They couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock.
Could it be that the three Ancient Demons were guarding the other side of the Door of Darkness, waiting for them to send themselves to their doom?
"It's not the Ancient Demons."
Xiahou Chuanwu's aura disappeared again. He said calmly, "It's the Door of Darkness. This Door of Darkness has a repulsive force. After I entered, I was quickly pushed out by a powerful yet gentle force."
"Huh?"
Yu Xiangtian and the others were stunned.
Martial Sages were also humans. They would still be shocked when they encounter something incomprehensible.
"Ahem!"
Shi Que coughed and walked back slowly. "This force is very strong. Without breaking the Door of Darkness, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter."
"D*mn it." Yu Xiangtian gritted his teeth. "The demonic creatures can come out, but we can't enter. How did this Door of Darkness come about? Do Ancient Demons have the ability to set up such a strange passageway?"
"I guess only the three Ancient Demons know," said Shi Que slowly as he caught his breath.
Since they couldn't enter the Door of Darkness, their beheading plan naturally couldn't proceed.
No one ever considered that the Door of Darkness only targeted realms, not everyone.
Only those who met the requirements could not enter.
Those who had yet to reach the realm were not obstructed at all.
In the eyes of Yu Xiangtian and the others, even with his Primordial Spirit realm, Xiahou Chuanwu could not enter, let alone Transcendent-grade Void Soul realm experts like them.
Since he couldn't enter, everyone saved themselves the trouble of trying.
…
In the Little Demon World.
Su Jingxing didn't know about the situation with Yu Xiangtian, Luo Ao, and the rest.
After closing the Door of Darkness that connected to the Southern Wilderness, Su Jingxing had forgotten about the two Demon's Dens in the Furious Dragon River and the North Sea.
In Su Jingxing's opinion, the Martial Sage of the Xu Nation, Luo Ao, and the others would guard the underground of the Demon's Den and intercept the demonic creatures.
Without the Ancient Demons, some demon slaves and Half-Demons would not be able to reach the surface.
Therefore, he subconsciously neglected them.
At this moment, Su Jingxing, who was immersed in absorbing the demonic energy, would not think of anything else.
The Little Demon World did not lack demonic energy.
This demonic energy was released by the few plants that the Bone Demon, Sword Demon, and Snake Demon had brought through the Demon World, under the stimulation of the World Tree branch.
Be it demonic creatures, Half-Demons, or even the Bone Demon, Sword Demon, and Snake Demon, they could not do without the nourishment of demonic energy.
After thousands of years, the accumulated demonic energy, except for those that were consumed, had long filled every corner of the Little Demon World.
To this day, those special plants were also distributed in various areas of the Little Demon World.
Therefore, not only was it troublesome to cut off the demonic energy from the source, he also had to run everywhere.
It would be much more convenient if Su Jingxing simply devoured it.
Circulating Vast Ocean, large amounts of demonic energy gathered from all directions and circled around Su Jingxing's head.
Then, it would convert into spiritual essence and push his cultivation level to increase.
380 years, 390 years, 400 years…
Unknowingly, Su Jingxing's spiritual essence cultivation had risen to another level, reaching 400 years.
The demonic energy that gathered from all directions did not show any signs of weakening. Instead, it grew.
The demon slaves and Half-Demons nearby had long noticed the abnormality, but none of them dared to come close.
The demonic energy surged and quickly disappeared.
Clearly, something big had happened.
However, all three Ancient Demons were dead, and so were the Half-Demon Overlords. The remaining Half-Demons and demon slaves realized that something was wrong, but they did not dare to come and investigate.
Su Jingxing opened his arms and absorbed large amounts of demonic energy, converting it into spiritual essence.
As long as the demonic energy was not exhausted, Su Jingxing would not stop.
Such an opportunity was too rare.
Even with Vast Ocean, it was difficult to get a second chance to crazily devour energy like this and convert it into spiritual essence to increase his cultivation.
In the outside world, worldly energy could be absorbed. Water vapor, fire energy, baneful aura, Yin energy, and even sunlight could be absorbed.
However, those amounts of energy gathered were too little, and the absorption speed was not fast at all, let alone allow him to absorb in large amounts without stopping.
Su Jingxing had long known this. Back on the surface, if he wanted to increase his cultivation again, he would have to work hard over a long period of time.
Slowly accumulating energy and converting it into spiritual essence to increase his cultivation.
Unless he encountered another great opportunity.
It could be said that something like this was too rare.
Su Jingxing was unwilling to give up no matter what.
…
Furious Dragon River.
At the border of the Zheng Nation and Wei Nation, downstream of the waters, beneath the thousand-foot mountain by the river.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures suddenly descended from the passageway, their auras varied.
The first person was dressed in ordinary martial arts attire. He had an ordinary appearance, but his long flowing hair was thrown back and fluttered in the wind.
"Greetings, Master!"
Luo Ao was the first to take a few steps forward and bow.
"Greetings, Sword Sage."
Suppressing his excitement, the Wei Nation's Martial Sage also greeted the person.
The person did not respond.
With a calm expression, he floated to the Door of Darkness and sized it up with his deep gaze.
Seeing this, Luo Ao and the Wei Nation's Martial Sage did not dare to disrupt him or get angry. Instead, they shouted at the others.
"Wei Chengzhang, why are you here?"
Luo Ao raised his eyebrows when he saw the Martial Sage of the Guang Nation, Wei Chengzhang.
"Hmph!"
Wei Chengzhang glanced at Luo Ao and said disdainfully, "I'm not here to see you or help you. I'm here to help myself."
"Alright, alright. We're all for humanity. Let's fight the Ancient Demons together."
An old man advised from the side, "Before the Ancient Demons, please put everything else aside."
"Yes, the most important thing now is to deal with the Ancient Demons."
A middle-aged man took a few steps forward and asked the figure in front of the Door of Darkness respectfully, "Sword Sage, can you destroy this Door of Darkness?"
The man with long flowing hair was none other than Luo Ao's master.
A peerless genius that appeared once in a thousand years in the Zheng Nation, an expert in the sword, the number one expert in the world.
A martial artist in the Primordial Spirit realm, Pei Donglai!

Whoosh!
A green-white glow bloomed from Pei Donglai's body.
Instead of responding to the question, he directly took action.
The body that was shrouded in green and white light stepped forward and entered the Door of Darkness.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As if stimulated by some force, the vortexes on the Door of Darkness spun rapidly, producing an invisible and powerful force that stopped Pei Donglai from advancing.
Buzz!
The green-white glow on Pei Donglai's body became even more dazzling.
The glow was like a sharp blade that tore through the air and shattered the vortex. It savagely pushed his body to pass through the Door of Darkness.
Hu hu hu!
A gale-like noise erupted from the Door of Darkness.
The shattered vortexes condensed again. An invisible and powerful force quickly grew, providing an endless supply to stop Pei Donglai.
Faintly, the furious snarls of giant beasts seemed to come from inside.
Whoosh!
The Door of Darkness shook as well, shooting out streaks of black and red light that sealed the entire door like an invisible net.
Pei Donglai's figure was once again stopped by a terrifying force and repulsed.
"Hmph!"
Pei Donglai shouted coldly. The green-white light around him retracted and condensed into a huge sword, creating an invisible net.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The black and red light beams collided with the green and white light, engaging in an intense battle.
The former was like a dragon or a tiger, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, corroding and burning.
The latter was extremely masculine, sweeping through everything and shattering everything.
As soon as the two collided, they entered a white-hot state. The energy produced from the collision impacted the surrounding void, producing ripples.
Wei Chengzhang, the Wei Nation's Martial Sage, and the others were all surprised.
Luo Ao's face was filled with fanaticism as his mouth opened wide.
If not for the fact that he was afraid of disturbing Pei Donglai, he would have burst out laughing long ago.
Forcing his way in!
Given the perception that everyone possessed, how could they not see that the Door of Darkness was rejecting Pei Donglai?
The door that connected the two worlds built by the Ancient Demons clearly had some kind of restriction that prevented them from entering.
Pei Donglai, on the other hand, was trying to force his way in!
In fact, the obstruction of the Door of Darkness had even triggered his strength to surge.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Strong winds swept through the underground space of the Demon's Den.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Energy spiraled and filled both inside and outside the Door of Darkness.
Under the watchful gazes of Wei Chengzhang, Luo Ao, and the others, Pei Donglai seemed to have transformed into a giant sword. He savagely tore through the invisible walls and stepped towards the Door of Darkness.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Door of Darkness shook hard.
The vortexes quickly condensed and shattered in the next instance.
The black and red light dissipated yet continued to emerge.
At this moment, Pei Donglai's body turned illusory and transparent, as if he would dissipate in the next second.
However, the green-white light sword around him became even more dazzling under the pressure.
As Pei Donglai walked into the depths of the Door of Darkness, the green-white light sword became more and more corporeal, as if it really existed.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Boom! Boom!
Strange sounds and tremors continued.
Finally——
Bam!
Accompanied by a loud bang of thunder, astral winds swept through the sky. The Door of Darkness was forcefully penetrated, revealing a clear passageway that connected the two worlds.
On both sides of the corridor, an invisible repulsive force curled up aggrievedly.
"Haha, it's a success!"
Luo Ao covered his entire body with true essence to neutralize the astral winds that pounced towards him. He laughed out loud excitedly.
In the next second, his figure flashed and flew into the Little Demon World along the passageway paved by the green and white light sword.
"…As expected of a Sword Sage."
"That's right. This might is probably beyond the Primordial Spirit, right?"
"Speaking of which, what realm is above the Primordial Spirit?"
"I don't know. There don't seem to be any records of this."
"…"
Wei Chengzhang and the others exclaimed in admiration. Amidst the discussions, they followed behind and walked into the passageway.
This passageway was forcefully torn open by the green and white light sword.
Before Pei Donglai removed it, everyone else could walk on it.
When the group entered the Little Demon World, what greeted their eyes was overwhelming demonic energy floating restlessly.
Hundreds of demonic creatures were scattered at the exit of the Door of Darkness, but they had all turned into bone pieces that covered the ground.
The clash between Pei Donglai and the Door of Darkness had reduced the demonic creatures guarding the door to dregs.
"What's going on? The demonic energy here is surging?"
"Where are the Ancient Demons?"
"What a Demon World. It's the Demon World, right? According to the ancient books, the Ancient Demons came from a foreign world. This should be that world, right?"
"No, the world where Ancient Demons exist shouldn't be so small. Besides, I have a nagging feeling that something is wrong with this world."
"Look at the sky!"
The last shout was especially loud.
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a huge tree that blotted out the sky. Its branches were overgrown and its leaves were withered.
The huge tree crown covered the entire world, and above it was not the endless starry sky.
Instead… a void?
"How did this happen?"
Everyone was shocked.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a sword beam suddenly soared into the sky.
It was Pei Donglai.
The Sword Sage, who was still wrapped in green and white sword light, transformed into a huge sword and shot into the sky.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Seeing this, Luo Ao, Wei Chengzhang, and the others also followed into the sky.
However, Pei Donglai only flew halfway before he suddenly stopped and looked towards the center of the Little Demon World.
Luo Ao, Wei Chengzhang, and the others who had arrived in the sky looked over in confusion. Their pupils constricted.
Demonic energy!
In the center of this world, an endless amount of demonic energy gathered together, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of more than a thousand miles.
Within this range, the space seemed to be boiling and surging.
Inside the vortex, a glowing figure was faintly discernible. It kept absorbing the demonic energy. When the demonic energy entered its body, it disappeared.
The terrifying devouring force guided the demonic energy to leak out from the bottom like a huge funnel.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A loud bang shook the air like thunder.
Wave after wave of frightening auras emerged from the center of the vortex and rushed into the clouds, extending in all directions.
An existence that absorbs demonic energy?
Ancient Demons!
Only an Ancient Demon would have such powerful abilities.
In the center of this world, an Ancient Demon is absorbing demonic energy to become stronger!
At this thought, the expressions of Wei Chengzhang, Luo Ao, and the rest changed.
"Sword…"
The Wei Nation's Martial Sage was about to ask Pei Donglai for help.
Buzz!
The world suddenly shook.
Space churned and sword cries filled the air.
Using his body as a sword, Pei Donglai slashed out a green-white sword energy that pierced towards the center of the world, a huge vortex of demonic energy.
At first, the green-white sword energy was only a few hundred feet long, but soon, it expanded to be more than a thousand feet.
Then, a few thousand feet, tens of thousands of feet, tens of thousands of feet.
Everywhere the green-white sword energy passed, space was torn apart. Demonic energy surged and pierced through the air.
When it reached the demonic energy vortex that spread for a thousand miles, the dense demonic cloud was forcefully split into two, and a passageway appeared in the middle.
The great passage of sword energy that was filled with green and white light!
At the end of the path was the glowing figure that was crazily absorbing the demonic energy!

Danger!
Extreme danger!
Su Jingxing, who was absorbing the demonic energy and circulating Vast Ocean, was suddenly alarmed.
He sensed a terrifying danger approaching from afar.
It was extremely fast. If Su Jingxing wanted to dodge, he would have to stop circulating his martial art.
However, the absorption of demonic energy was at a critical moment. If he forcefully stopped it, he would definitely suffer a backlash and internal injuries.
There was no time for his main body to dodge. Faced with this approaching danger, the Blood Doppelganger would disintegrate in a few seconds at most.
I won't die, but my main body would still be severely injured or even die.
What should I do?
Counterattack!
If I cannot stop the circulation of Vast Ocean, I shall turn around and use my current spiritual essence to carry the demonic energy to break through the danger.
A direct confrontation!
These thoughts flashed through his mind as he made his final decision.
Boom! Boom!
First, there was a loud bang.
Then, the massive amount of demonic energy that surrounded Su Jingxing suddenly spun in the opposite direction.
Hu hu hu!
Strong winds howled and transformed into a hurricane that filled the air.
Buzz!
The air vibrated.
Golden-red Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence gushed out, carrying a sea of demonic energy as it charged straight towards the approaching danger.
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering bang.
Accompanied by a loud bang, an extremely dazzling ball of light bloomed in the sky.
The electric beam transcended everything and spread to every corner of the Little Demon World.
Wave after wave of shockwaves swept through the air and ground.
Everywhere it passed, sand, stones, trees, and mountains turned into nothing.
In the center, a vacuum area with a diameter of thousands of meters swayed and instantly appeared.
The terrifying impact dispersed most of the demonic clouds and turned them back into demonic energy which surged in the sky without rest.
When the demonic energy slowly dissipated like a tide, Su Jingxing opened his eyes and saw the terrifying danger that threatened him.
A ray of sword energy wrapped in green and white light!
This sword energy split open the demonic clouds and did not dissipate under the counterattack of the 530-year-old spiritual essence tide. It still maintained a blinding glow and a powerful killing aura.
However, the golden-red spiritual essence tide did not retreat either.
Green-white light and golden-red light collided with each other in the surging black demonic energy sea. They clashed non-stop, neither able to do anything to the other.
"Who released such terrifying sword energy?"
After buying some time, he slowly stopped circulating his martial art and exhaled to regain his composure. Su Jingxing got up and looked at the battle in the sky.
The green-white sword energy and his golden-red spiritual essence wave were especially conspicuous in the sea of black demonic energy that filled the sky.
With Vast Ocean, Su Jingxing absorbed the demonic energy and raised his spiritual essence cultivation to 530 years.
Faced with a threat, he had no choice but to stop.
In the end, the opponent he met relied on a streak of sword energy to resist his 530-year-old spiritual essence tide.
"Who is this person?"
Su Jingxing looked into the distance through the sword energy.
This incomparably huge sword energy spanned tens of thousands of miles.
He searched hard for the source but only saw a figure.
"Someone has entered the Little Demon World?"
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows.
The Little Demon World was connected to a total of four Doors of Darkness.
Yu Nation's Dongting Mountain, the waters of the Furious Dragon River at the border between the Zheng Nation and the Wei Nation, the nameless island on the coastline of the Xu Nation in the North Sea, and the Southern Wilderness' Heavenly Demon ancient site.
Of these four exits, the one at the Heavenly Demon ancient site had been closed. Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was constantly paying attention to Dongting Mountain in the Yu Nation.
The remaining Furious Dragon River and the nameless island were guarded by the Martial Sages of the Zheng Nation, Wei Nation, and Xu Nation.
Now that someone had entered the Little Demon World, he could only have come through one of these two entrances.
The Furious Dragon River or the nameless island?
No…
Which entrance was not important. What was important was who had such powerful strength?
Sword energy that spanned tens of thousands of miles!
"Could it be the Zheng Nation's Martial Sage, Luo Ao?"
"No, Luo Ao isn't that strong. It's a Sword Sage! Luo Ao's master, Pei Donglai!"
Su Jingxing's eyes lit up.
"Pei Donglai actually came in. He broke through the Door of Darkness!"
"He's in the Primordial Spirit realm. How did he get through the Door of Darkness?"
"Has the Door of Darkness lost its effect? Or is Pei Donglai's current realm no longer in the Primordial Spirit realm, but… the Soul Platform realm?"
Su Jingxing's eyes flashed.
In the next second, he retracted his gaze and wrapped his energy around the Blood Doppelganger. He left the cultivation ground and passed through the Door of Darkness that connected to Dongting Mountain.
Sword Sage Pei Donglai, the number one expert in the world.
Regardless of whether he had stepped into the Soul Platform realm or not, it was already a fact that he had passed through the Door of Darkness.
As fellow humans of Earth Star and as the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation, logically speaking, even if Su Jingxing was discovered by Pei Donglai to be absorbing demonic energy to cultivate, it was no big deal.
The method to refine demonic energy was only lost, not extinct.
That it had been discovered again was essentially a good thing.
However, after the conversation with Yu Xiangtian, Shi Que, and the others the last time, Su Jingxing did not want to interact with Pei Donglai.
This was because this famous Sword Sage was a battle fanatic.
His title as the number one expert in the world was not self-appointed, nor was it given to him by the people of Zheng Nation. Instead, it was earned through challenges.
As long as one was a slightly famous expert, Pei Donglai would issue a challenge.
Pei Donglai's title went from Swordsman to Sword King to Sword Sage.
Along the way, he had defeated countless people and killed countless human and non-human beings.
Under pressure, Su Jingxing released his Vast Ocean Spiritual Essence with all his cultivation and wrapped around demonic energy to block Pei Donglai's sword strike.
After blocking it, they even began an evenly matched fight in the sky.
This force would definitely attract Pei Donglai's attention…
No, it should have already attracted Pei Donglai's attention!
As Su Jingxing traversed through the air, he sensed an incomparably sharp aura in the distance rushing towards his cultivation ground at lightning speed.
Clearly, Pei Donglai had seen the confrontation in the sky and was eager to give chase.
If Su Jingxing didn't leave, he would definitely be pestered and forced to accept his challenge!
Su Jingxing didn't want to come into contact with such a battle fanatic.
Although he might not necessarily die if he lost, injuries were unavoidable.
If he won, there would be even more trouble in the future. Given Pei Donglai's personality, he would repeatedly come knocking on his door and challenge him.
He wouldn't stop until he won.
Therefore, Su Jingxing decisively retreated from the Little Demon World.
530 years of spiritual essence cultivation was about enough.
The demonic energy could not escape. It would not be too late to come to the Little Demon World to absorb it next time.
Right now, it was more important to avoid Pei Donglai.
Crossing space! Crossing space!
Before Pei Donglai locked onto him, Su Jingxing passed through the Door of Darkness and returned to the underground cave of Dongting Mountain.
The physical body of a spiritual martial artist was rather special.
Just in case, Su Jingxing continued to retreat. He flew towards the surface through the passageway of the Demon's Den. After leaving Dongting Mountain, he soared into the sky and entered the Void World.
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing descended from the Void World and headed straight for the Demon's Den.
Under the protection of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, Su Jingxing wasn't afraid of being seen through.
Less than ten seconds after his Essence Soul arrived at the underground space of the Demon's Den,
A terrifying sword energy shot out from the open Door of Darkness!

Boom!
An explosion that tore through the air suddenly erupted.
The originally calm Door of Darkness instantly shook violently.
The vortexes inside spun crazily, stirring the air and producing rings of energy.
However, in less than three seconds, these vortexes disappeared, turning into nothing.
In its place was a huge sword energy that seemed to have materialized as it pierced through the Door of Darkness.
The power of the Door of Darkness was pushed aside by the sword energy and shrank to the sides in grievance.
Under the gaze of Su Jingxing's Essence Soul, the giant sword energy began a savage battle with the Door of Darkness.
One compressed inward, while the other forcefully opened.
In the end, the giant sword energy won. The Door of Darkness that was filled with unknown power was torn apart by the sword energy, revealing a passageway.
Whoosh!
A figure flashed out of the passageway.
Pei Donglai!
What realm is this fellow in?
The eyelids of the Essence Soul twitched under the Thunder Dragon Mask.
The Door of Darkness' restrictions on the Primordial Spirit realm were useless on Pei Donglai.
The strength of this Sword Sage was obvious.
The problem was that the power that appeared when he passed through the Door of Darkness earlier was not that of the Soul Platform realm.
In the Soul Platform realm, the most obvious symbol was a Soul Platform that alternated between illusion and reality.
Su Jingxing had never seen the exact shape, so he wasn't sure. In any case, it wasn't sword energy.
Therefore, it was impossible to determine whether Pei Donglai was in the Soul Platform realm.
However, there was no doubt that he had the strength of the Soul Platform realm.
It was not that one would only possess the power of a certain realm after reaching it.
For example, before Su Jingxing reached the third-grade, he possessed first-grade true essence cultivation.
Pei Donglai was extremely talented. It was not unacceptable for him to possess the power of the Soul Platform realm at the Primordial Spirit realm.
In fact, this might even be the truth…
"And you are?"
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was slightly "shocked" when Pei Donglai came out of the passageway. It asked warily, "May I ask who you are?"
"Did anyone come out from this door earlier?"
Pei Donglai scanned his surroundings before his gaze fell on Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
"…Do I count as someone?"
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul said subconsciously, "I just came out five minutes ago."
Pei Donglai did not respond. His star-like eyes were fixed on Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
Under Pei Donglai's gaze, the Essence Soul felt its heart palpitate for some reason. It felt as if it had been seen through.
But soon, it calmed down.
This fellow had used a secret art or soul skill on it.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul almost fell for it before it realized.
Immediately, its voice turned cold as it shouted, "What do you mean?"
This was not a provocation, but a counterattack as a Martial Sage.
A necessary counterattack!
As the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, his Essence Soul was being spied on and his secrets pried into.
If he did not counterattack, how could he guard the dynasty!
With his imposing manner and confidence weakened, what fighting spirit and morale would there be to speak of?
In the face of provocation, any Martial Sage would counterattack.
This had nothing to do with whether the opponent was powerful or not.
Especially since this was the Yu Nation's territory. In the Yu Nation's territory, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul could unleash its strongest power in defense and attack with the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.
Not to mention the protection of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.
Of course, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was also putting on an act.
It had to act. Pei Donglai was testing it.
Su Jingxing didn't want to provoke this battle fanatic. Just 10% of acting should be able to fool Pei Donglai.
And that was indeed the case.
Under Su Jingxing's cold questioning, Pei Donglai retracted his invisible spying and scanned the underground space again. Then, he turned around and walked back into the Door of Darkness.
"You're not bad."
With that, Pei Donglai passed through the Door of Darkness and returned to the Little Demon World. He then put away the giant sword energy that opened the door.
Without the expulsion of the sword energy, the Door of Darkness immediately returned to its original state. It was covered in vortexes.
The surging astral energy and force gradually dissipated, and the underground space returned to calm.
He left!
The battle fanatic did not notice anything wrong with Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
The ninth class of the Void Soul realm was no challenge to Pei Donglai.
With the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor protecting him, it didn't matter if he couldn't see through its true appearance.
In Pei Donglai's eyes, everyone, regardless of appearance, was the same.
Strength was his only pursuit.
Only the person who could resist him by absorbing demonic energy in the Little Demon World would interest Pei Donglai.
Unfortunately…
Su Jingxing did not let him have his way!
Su Jingxing was not interested in accepting Pei Donglai's challenges.
He would let him search everywhere for the mysterious expert who could contend against him.
…
The three Ancient Demons, the Snake Demon and the Bone Demon had been eliminated, leaving only the Sword Demon in his palm space.
With Pei Donglai in the Little Demon World, Su Jingxing could temporarily put aside the threat of the demonic creatures.
Of course.
Before leaving Dongting Mountain, Su Jingxing called over the general of the Prefecture Army who had surrounded the foot of the mountain and asked him to send men to keep an eye on the entrance of the Demon's Den.
Su Jingxing did not need to do such work of guarding the Demon's Den every day personally.
The Prefecture Army could just send one or two commanders to take turns guarding it.
As for the Celestial Pole Sect, they had already moved away.
Although Wu Qifen couldn't bear to leave Dongting Mountain, with the existence of the Demon's Den, it was no longer suitable for them to stay there.
After all, the Celestial Pole Sect walked the path of elites and did not have a big population.
Unlike the Prefecture Army, where reinforcements could be replenished at any time.
Most importantly, without the Ancient Demons, the Little Demon World was now the most suitable training ground.
It was not convenient for Su Jingxing to announce the disappearance of the three Ancient Demons and the extermination of all the Half-Demon Overlords. However, when Pei Donglai searched the entire Little Demon World and could not find them, Luo Ao and the others would help him do so.

Chapter 386: Invasion by An Unknown Martial Sage? (2)
At that time, the 13 countries of the Eastern Continent would definitely argue over the training area of the Little Demon World.
However, once this training ground was opened, it would be troublesome for Su Jingxing to continue absorbing demonic energy when he returned to the Little Demon World in the future.
However, at this point, he could only take things one step at a time.
In fact, the fastest way to increase his spiritual essence cultivation was still extracting cards.
Internal Force Card, True Energy Card, True Essence Card!
A few days ago, he had extracted these three types of cards through his main body, Blood Doppelganger, and Essence Soul.
Now that he was free, Su Jingxing unlocked them one by one. After absorbing and converting them, he finally increased his cultivation by 25 years.
He raised his spiritual essence cultivation to 555 years!
555 years of spiritual essence cultivation to cleanse the physical body.
The cards extracted from killing the Half-Demons and Half-Demon Overlords unlocked to give the Mystic Soul Card, of which two cards gave one Heaven Essence Pill.
After Su Jingxing's Essence Soul swallowed them all, his ninth class Void Soul realm cultivation also increased and reached a bottleneck.
In other words, if he wanted to break through to the Soul Fixation realm, the effects of consuming the Sage Origin Fruit and Heaven Essence Pill alone would not be big.
Of course, if there were as many as a few thousand Sage Origin Fruits and Heaven Essence Pills, he could still forcefully break through.
But Sage Origin Fruits and Heaven Origin Pills were rare.
For the former, up till today, Su Jingxing had only obtained one after forging the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal and condensing it.
The Heaven Essence Pill could only be chanced upon by luck. Killing a Half-Demon did not mean that one could extract the corresponding Mystic Soul Card.
The drop rate was required.
Therefore, he had to find other ways to break through to the Soul Fixation realm.
For example, the Southern Wilderness' ancient site that He Sanxiao had mentioned!
Previously, Su Jingxing had declined to go because the time wasn't right. Now, it was.
However, before Su Jingxing could approach He Sanxiao, the Essence Soul was summoned again.
Someone was looking for him through a heavenly secret art.
Just like the last time when He Sanxiao came knocking on his door.
This time, the cabinet was looking for him again.
Suppressing his anger, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul put on the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor and crossed space to head straight to the capital.
As the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, while he enjoyed the privilege of using the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal to condense the Sage Origin Fruit, protect himself and kill the evildoers, he also shouldered the responsibility of protecting the people.
Even if he had become a Martial Sage by accident.
As such, when the cabinet summoned him, Su Jingxing would have to make a trip there no matter what.
Of course, if the matter wasn't important, Su Jingxing wouldn't be so polite when he was summoned again.
…
The capital.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul crossed through space and arrived at the Heavenly Secrets Platform following the directions.
The Heavenly Secrets Platform was managed by the Heavenly Secrets Office.
The Heavenly Secrets Office was a special department directly under the jurisdiction of the cabinet.
The summoning of Su Jingxing and communication using the heavenly secret arts were all done through the Heavenly Secrets Platform.
At this moment.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul descended from the sky. The group of people guarding the courtyard immediately got up and gathered over.
"Greetings, Martial Sage!"
"Greetings, Martial Sage!"
…
Their auras were not weak, and they had restrained themselves.
They greeted Su Jingxing respectfully.
Among them was Su Jingxing's acquaintance, Deputy Prime Minister Luo Shan.
"What happened this time?"
Under the Thunder Dragon mask, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul spoke calmly, but its tone was not pleasant.
Luo Shan and the others listened with varying expressions. Some smiled wryly, while others were helpless.
"Martial Sage, there is indeed something important."
A tall old man straightened up and replied, "However, this is not the place to talk. Can we invite you to move with us?"
"Lead the way." Su Jingxing glanced at him.
It was the first time he was seeing this old man, but Su Jingxing recognized him after taking a few more glances.
After all, he had seen him many times on television and the Internet.
It was the Prime Minister, Guan Zhonghua.
"This way, Martial Sage."
Luo Shan led the way with a smile.
Su Jingxing followed.
The others were last. The group walked quickly and arrived at a relatively sealed room.
They sat down, with Su Jingxing at the head.
"We called for you this time because we cannot make a decision over what happened."
Guan Zhonghua was the first to speak. He explained, "Firstly, a strange phenomenon suddenly happened in the Chengtian Palace in the imperial palace. It was sealed off by an invisible force and people couldn't enter or leave. We tried to force our way in, collide with it, and attack it, but we were all interfered with by a powerful force and disappeared. Even a martial artist at the peak of the first-grade who had condensed a Divine Embryo couldn't do so."
"That's right. Even when we dug holes from underground or descended from the sky, we couldn't enter the Chengtian Palace," a middle-aged man added.
"This is Deputy Prime Minister Luo Xuangong," Luo Shan introduced.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul remained silent.
Seeing this, Luo Zhuigong smiled awkwardly and continued, "Other than the abnormality in the Chengtian Palace, there's also the local You Family. This You Family is a large family clan in the Fulong Prefecture. Although they can't compare to the Chen and Yu Families, they are still a powerful martial arts family. They have existed for 300 years. This time, they were wiped out overnight. None of the hundreds of people in the village were spared."
"The culprits are very powerful, but there aren't many of them. According to my deduction, they are all martial artists in the top ranks," an old man with half-white hair added.
"This is the Hall Master of the Sacred Martial Hall, Fu Neng," Luo Shan introduced again.
"I'm Xiao Renwo." A man with elegant temperament but sharp eyebrows and bright eyes interrupted. "The Martial Sage might be puzzled as to why we're talking about this. Other than the You Family being wiped out, there's also our Martial Suppression Office's Head Supervisor, Ao Chunqiu, being severely injured."
"Marshal Xiao is the supreme commander of our military," Luo Shan introduced from the side.
"I know."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul said calmly, "The question is, among everything that has been shared, is there anything that threatened the safety of the Yu Nation?"
The You Family, a local family clan in the capital, had been wiped out.
A phenomenon appeared in a palace in the palace and it sealed itself.
The Head Supervisor of the Martial Suppression Office, Ao Chunqiu, had been severely injured.
He had to be summoned for these matters?
Did they think that he, a Martial Sage, was a delivery man on call?!
Silence.
Even though the Essence Soul's tone was calm, it still released a few wisps of the invisible Martial Sage pressure.
In an instant, the space in the room froze. A powerful pressure weighed on everyone's shoulders and enveloped their hearts!
"No… no…"
Luo Shan swallowed his saliva and answered with difficulty, "They didn't threaten the safety of the nation, but when these few matters are put together, it's very strange. Ao Chunqiu is a peak first-grade expert who has condensed a Divine Embryo. Only martial artists in the Transcendent-grade can severely injure him!"
"Are you sure?" Su Jingxing's Essence Soul turned its head slightly and looked straight at Luo Shan.
Luo Shan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't dare to.
Yes, he couldn't be sure!
Those who severely injured peak first-grade martial artists need not necessarily be in the Transcendent-grade.
A martial artist at the peak of the first-grade, or the use of divine weapons, Dao weapons, and other rare treasures could only do the same.
Luo Shan was not a witness, so what guarantee could he give?
"Cough…"
Xiao Renwo coughed lightly and interrupted the silence. "Although we're very sorry, we suspect that an unknown Transcendent-grade expert has invaded and that's why we're troubling you to make a trip here. This is because after Ao Chunqiu was severely injured, he once woke up and revealed that the body of the person who injured him could turn illusory!
The illusory body was the external manifestation of the Essence Soul.
Of course, the physical body of a spiritual martial artist would do as well.
The problem was that a spiritual martial artist was almost impossible. Su Jingxing was one himself and he had accidentally become one.
It was impossible for a second spiritual martial artist to coincidentally jump out.
Besides, the demonic creatures had not invaded the surface and harmed the various countries. The Eastern Continent was not in chaos, nor was the Western Continent.
Even if some conspirators and ambitious people wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't have the chance.
Excluding spiritual martial artists, all that was left were Essence Souls and Transcendent-grade experts?
"Why was Ao Chunqiu severely injured?"
The Essence Soul retracted its suppression and asked calmly.
If it was really an invasion by an unknown Transcendent-grade expert, Su Jingxing indeed had to intervene.
"Um…"
Guan Zhonghua paused and laughed dryly. "He went to the Chengtian Palace. He was found outside after being severely injured."
The others remained silent.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul chuckled. "In other words, none of you know why he was severely injured?"
"…Y-yes." Luo Shan was embarrassed.
The others also lowered their heads, feeling inexplicably guilty.
"Has there been an investigation?" asked Su Jingxing's Essence Soul. "Also, what does Ao Chunqiu's serious injury have to do with the Chengtian Palace and the You Family?"
"The investigation is ongoing."
Fu Neng coughed lightly and said, "As for the relationship between Ao Chunqiu and the You Family, according to rumors, Ao Chunqiu is the illegitimate son of the previous patriarch of the You Family…"

What a load of information!
The Head Supervisor of the Martial Suppression Office was actually from the You Family.
Even though this piece of information was a rumor and Ao Chunqiu had never come into direct contact with the You Family, there would be no smoke without fire. Since there were rumors, the credibility was very high.
Not 100%, but at least 70% true.
When Su Jingxing's Essence Soul heard this, it pondered for a moment and said, "In other words, Ao Chunqiu was entrusted by the You Family to go to the Chengtian Palace to look for something or do something. In the end, he was severely injured which caused the You Family to be wiped out?"
"…That's our guess too."
Luo Xuangong said softly, "The phenomenon in the Chengtian Palace probably only happened after Ao Chunqiu left. If Ao Chunqiu is awake, or if there are still people from the You Family alive, we can learn from them what happened in the Chengtian Palace."
"We are also doing our best to investigate what happened in the Chengtian Palace. Before this, this palace was no different from other palaces. After renovation, it was opened up for viewing. Now that people suddenly cannot enter or leave, after some investigation, we discovered that the phenomenon came from underground, beneath the Chengtian Palace," Luo Shan continued.
"After that, we began to trace back to the past of the palace."
Guan Zhonghua continued, "Tens of years, hundreds of years ago, other than the necessary repairs, nothing strange has happened in the Chengtian Palace. The phenomenon this time should be related to the You Family. For so many years, the Chengtian Palace has been calm as usual. I believe it had yet to be activated. Now that the phenomenon has appeared, it's likely that Ao Chunqiu did something to activate the palace and prevent anyone from entering or leaving.
"Since we couldn't enter and exit the palace, we went to the You Family to search for relevant information. After the annihilation, the You Family's manor turned into ruins. In the ruins, we found three secret chambers. Two of them could be forcefully opened. There were many treasures inside, but the relevant information wasn't available. Only the third secret chamber was protected by an array formation. Forcefully opening it would destroy the secret chamber along with it. For this, we temporarily got men to guard it and didn't open it."
Xiao Renwo said gently, "Of course, a group of array formation experts are actively studying this secret chamber, looking for a way to break the array formation."
"It's our mission to find the mastermind. We didn't dare to disturb you for this either. But the mastermind might be in the Transcendent-grade. We had no choice but to…"
Luo Shan still wanted to explain, but Su Jingxing's Essence Soul waved its hand and said, "Enough."
"Since I'm here, I won't let the suspected Transcendent-grade murderer wander around the country.
"The source of this matter is the Chengtian Palace, so let's go there!"
With that, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Luo Xuangong, Luo Shan, and the others naturally agreed and followed behind.
Wasn't the purpose of inviting a Martial Sage here to suppress the murderer?
Transcendent-grade was not first-grade, let alone second-grade.
No matter how powerful a peak first-grade martial artist who had condensed a Divine Embryo was, there were many people in the same realm. At the very least, they could be assassinated with hidden weapons.
But the Transcendent-grade was different.
If a martial artist in the Transcendent-grade could be seen, he could be guarded against and assassinated.
However, those hidden behind the scenes were bombs, terrifying bombs that no one could avoid.
Once such a bomb detonated, no matter who it was, they would only face death.
Ao Chunqiu was already lucky that he was only severely injured.
Only special treasures could contend against martial artists in the Transcendent-grade, all other martial artists of a lower rank had to obediently lie down.
How could they continue fighting?
They had to kneel down before they even saw the person.
Therefore, they had to have a peer in the Transcendent-grade to hold the line!
If not for the critical situation, Luo Shan and the others wouldn't have dared to contact Su Jingxing.
After all, they also knew that Su Jingxing was resolving the problem in the Demon's Dens.
Now, an unknown Transcendent-grade had appeared in the palace while Su Jingxing was held up, if he wasn't found, who knew if the other party would wipe out all the cabinet big shots like Luo Shan, Luo Zhuigong, and Guan Zhonghua?
With the cabinet wiped out, wouldn't the Yu Nation immediately fall into chaos?
Even if a new team was quickly selected, a large number of people would definitely die in the chaos.
This was what Su Jingxing didn't want to see.
Therefore, Su Jingxing had to find out who the mastermind was no matter what.
…
The group arrived at Chengtian Palace
As he approached the palace, Su Jingxing accidentally discovered that he had paid attention to this palace before.
The previous time he came to the capital, he discovered that there was a palace in the open area of the palace whose worldly energy at the top was being guided by an invisible force and lingered around.
He did not expect this palace to be the Chengtian Palace.
However, compared to the unrestrained worldly energy he had seen last time, the worldly energy at the top of Chengtian Palace was now very dense.
It was like a funnel that absorbed worldly energy from all directions into its "stomach".
No one noticed the abnormality last time. Su Jingxing only sensed it because his soul power was powerful.
Now, any martial artist in the top ranks could detect the surging energy fluctuations in Chengtian Palace.
A huge light screen enveloped the entire palace like a glass barrier.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul walked to the light barrier and reached out to touch it, as if it was touching a solid wall.
Gathering soul power, it threw a punch.
Dong!
A dull and melodious sound immediately spread.
Ripples appeared on the light barrier, then quickly disappeared and peace was restored.
"That's it."
Luo Zhuigong explained from behind, "No matter what attacks we use, we can't break through and enter the interior. This energy barrier is extremely solid."
"We've studied it and realized that we've never seen such energy," Luo Shan continued.
"We're not sure what's going on in Chengtian Palace either because we can't enter," Guan Zhonghua said. "But for the past few days, nothing has appeared from the palace. The guards said that there has been no movement in it."

Report chapter
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was silent as it sensed the energy fluctuations of the light barrier.
Indeed, this energy was very strange. It was unlike worldly energy, fire energy, water energy, or even energy like extreme Yin and extreme Yang.
If one had to describe it, it seemed like a magnetic field, but not a magnetic field.
The Essence Soul's soul power covered it and was directly worn away.
It was not that its soul power had dissipated, but it had been disintegrated by an invisible force and quickly turned into a pile of powder that disappeared.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul carefully sensed around the light barrier. In the end, it really sensed the source or core of the light barrier underground.
The underground core had been buried for hundreds, no, possibly thousands of years, or even longer!
Chengtian Palace had merely taken advantage of the geography and got implicated.
At this thought, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul turned around and said coolly, "Let's go the You residence."
He could not enter the light barrier outside the Chengtian Palace either.
Su Jingxing very well that with this perception, even if he turned illusory, he wouldn't be able to do so.
Since he couldn't find any clues at the first location, he would go to the second location, the You residence.
Luo Zhuigong, Luo Shan, and the others naturally had no objections and followed behind.
No, more like they were leading the way.
However, as soon as they left the palace doors, they saw a group of people rushing towards them.
"What happened?"
Luo Zhuigong was puzzled, while Luo Shan met the crowd.
A moment later, Luo Shan returned to the group with an ugly expression. He waved his hand and dismissed the people.
"What happened?" Guan Zhonghua asked in a low voice.
"Someone from the Snow Nation's delegation has gone missing. Two of them at that, a pair of sisters."
Luo Shan gritted his teeth and said, "These two people have been missing for several days. The leader of the Snow Nation's delegation only revealed the matter when he couldn't find them anywhere and requested that we search for them. The people below are busy searching everywhere in secret."
"Missing? Was there anything unusual before they disappeared?" Luo Zhuigong pondered.
"I don't know. After the two sisters came to the Yu Nation, they wandered around and couldn't be found for a long time. At first, the Snow Nation's delegation thought that they were running around again and missed the time to return to the hotel. Subsequently, they weren't seen for long time and that was when the rest became nervous," Luo Shan replied with a sigh.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul did not say anything. There was no need for him to interfere in such matters.
Luo Shan was responsible for the disappearance of the members of the Snow Nation's delegation.
That was what Su Jingxing's Essence Soul thought and did.
Silently, it strode away.
Seeing this, Luo Zhuigong, Xiao Renwo, and the others couldn't care less about Luo Shan anymore. They stepped into the air and rushed towards the You Family's manor.
…
The sealed You Family's manor.
There were ruins everywhere. Most of the buildings had collapsed, and the ground was covered in rubble and pits.
There was a lot of blood scattered in the corner. In some places, the blood had dried up and could not be wiped off in a short period of time. Of course, Luo Xuangong and company didn't do so either.
Although the You Family's manor was located in the suburbs of the capital, everyone had been killed, without a single survivor. Looking at the scene where destruction was everywhere, the battle here was undoubtedly very tragic.
In the end, not a single person nearby heard anything and noticed something amiss.
Only when dawn broke the next day did people discover the You Family's tragic state. Corpses were everywhere.
The corpses had long been cremated. The dead were all from the You Family.
There might have been corpses of the mastermind as well, but they had all been taken away.
"After our investigation, we discovered that everyone nearby slept very soundly that night," explained Luo Xuangong as he accompanied Su Jingxing's Essence Soul through the ruins.
"There was nothing left at the scene?" asked the Essence Soul.
"No." Guan Zhonghua shook his head. "The culprits cleaned up very well. Not a trace was left behind."
"We're here." Xiao Renwo who was walking in front suddenly stopped in his tracks. He pointed at the open door of an underground secret chamber and said, "This is the secret chamber. It's protected by an array formation."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul stepped forward and sized up the extremely calm door of the super-alloy chamber.
Around the cave stood martial artists with powerful auras. Every one of them was in the fourth-grade, and three of them were even in the third-grade.
Dressed in a uniform, they were muscular.
People from the Sacred Martial Hall!
Apart from the military and the Martial Suppression Office, the Yu Nation's government also had a powerful team, the Sacred Martial Hall.
This department was the core of the Yu Nation. All the cabinet members, various Prefecture Chiefs, and generals had been part of the Sacred Martial Hall before.
In other words, all the candidates holding important positions in the Yu Nation were from the Sacred Martial Hall.
Even though they possessed powerful martial strength, they usually did not take action. Only when they encountered important matters would the Sacred Martial Hall take action.
The Hall Master of the Sacred Martial Hall naturally became a member of the cabinet.
Nothing needed to be said about their strength, every Hall Master was a peak first-grade martial artist who had condensed a Divine Embryo.
The step of hatching an Essence Soul from the Divine Embryo had trapped countless people.
According to the Wei Family's ancestors, the blue liquid with a red glow that Su Jingxing brought out from the Black Flame Caves could allow a Divine Embryo to hatch an Essence Soul.
Su Jingxing had checked afterward. The blue liquid with a red glow did indeed have this effect, but it wasn't to be devoured. Instead, it ought to be melted and smeared on the Divine Embryo to speed up the incubation process.
Yes, the blue liquid with a red glow did not allow the Divine Embryo to hatch an Essence Soul. Instead, it sped up the process.
Moreover, the more the better. One or two drops of the blue liquid with a red glow were equally inefficient.
However, the giant flower with eyes in the Black Flame Caves was quite a threat to Su Jingxing.
There was no need to guess. If this giant flower could injure an Essence Soul, any martial artist below the Transcendent-grade would be courting death.
Of course, the giant flower was very innocent. If one could deceive it, he might be able to obtain a considerable amount of the blue liquid with a red glow.
However, if one made a mistake and angered the giant flower, he would become nourishment for it…
Cough cough!
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul came back to its senses.
It slowly descended and arrived at the door of the secret chamber.
It reached out and touched the door.
Buzz!
The air surged, and a halo suddenly appeared. Then, it quickly spread and covered the entire secret chamber, forming a light blue membrane around it.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul touched the light membrane. Amidst the light, combination array patterns immediately appeared and gathered together, forming a powerful force that could not be broken.
"These array formation patterns have been recorded. Array formation experts are studying them," Luo Xuan introduced.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul did not respond. However, the hands covered in the gloves of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor gloves hitting the light membrane, creating circles of ripples. Array patterns constantly appeared.
Moments later, he gestured for Guan Zhonghua and the others to retreat.
"This…"
Guan Zhonghua hesitated, but there was nothing he could do. They could only leave the basement one by one and retreat a hundred meters away.
After they were far away, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul employed its soul power. The surface of its hands flickered with light as it rhythmically slapped the array patterns on the light membrane.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A strange sound began to sound. It was rhythmic, resembled music, and was rather pleasant to the ear.
Guan Zhonghua and the others, who were watching from afar, could not help but look at each other, not understanding what Su Jingxing was doing.
Breaking the array formation?
Guan Zhonghua and the others were shocked at the thought. Of course, it quickly turned into joy.
If Su Jingxing could break the array formation, it would save them a lot of trouble.
Those array formation experts had been studying the patterns on the array formation for a few days, but they still couldn't figure anything out.
It would be great if Su Jingxing could.
In fact, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was indeed breaking the array formation.
The Record of Array-Breaking Diagrams!
That's right, Su Jingxing realized that the array formation that enveloped the secret chamber was actually launched from a basic array formation.
That made things easier. The various strange array formations and trapping array formations set up using the basic array formations…
Even Su Jingxing could crack it using the Record of Array-Breaking Diagrams.
It speed was not slow either. Under the slaps of soul power, the rhythm became faster and faster.
After a series of dull thuds…
Whoosh!
A ray of light suddenly soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
In the next second, the array formation that enveloped the secret chamber disintegrated with a whoosh.
"Ha, it's really broken!" Luo Xuangong exclaimed in surprise.
"A Martial Sage is indeed fast." Guan Zhonghua nodded with joy.
"Let's go take a look." Xiao Renwo's figure flashed and he flew back.
At this moment.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had already opened the door of the secret chamber.
A deafening snarl came through the door.
Roar!

Report chapter
Accompanied by a roar, a huge black shadow rushed out of the secret chamber at lightning speed.
A foul wind, astral winds, and a strong murderous aura pounced towards Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
Buzz!
The air surged.
The Essence Soul released its pressure to suppress the black shadow.
However, the black shadow only paused for a moment before pouncing over again.
It was so fast that it didn't even leave behind an afterimage. It arrived in front of Su Jingxing's Essence Soul and collided with the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.
Whoosh!
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul retreated more than ten meters.
The Transcendent-grade suppression was removed in midair.
Xiao Renwo, Guan Zhonghua, and the others who flew over were also sent flying by the violent charge of the black shadow.
Roar!
The roars continued, echoing in the air above the ruins.
The huge black shadow targeted Su Jingxing's Essence Soul and pounced over again.
Swoosh!
The Essence Soul landed easily, its eyes shining.
Sword Eyes was activated. Through the Thunder Dragon Mask, the solidified sword-shaped light beams accurately struck the black shadow, forcing it to stop charging and retreat.
That's right. Under Sword Eyes, this huge figure that rushed out of the secret chamber actually did not shatter and disintegrate. Instead, it forcefully received it!
Sword Eyes was a soul skill that used soul power. How could a physical body withstand it?
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was shocked. Its perception covered the open secret chamber. It confirmed that there was no one else inside, only this beast-like giant in front of him.
He was nearly four meters tall with disheveled hair. There was no emotion in his scarlet eyes. His huge body clearly did not contain any vitality, but it could move.
Baleful energy, death energy, killing intent, and a strange aura mixed together to form an exceptionally strong aura.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was not affected much by this aura.
Xiao Renwo, Guan Zhonghua, and the others, who had retreated to the side, found it difficult to endure. It was as if they had accidentally entered a swamp filled with quagmire. They were inexplicably flustered and terrified, wishing they could escape immediately.
"Who is this?"
Fu Neng spoke in a low voice, his gaze fixed on the beast-like giant.
"There aren't any fluctuations in his emotions. He's probably a puppet," Xiao Renwo muttered.
"Puppet? What puppet is so strong?" Guan Zhonghua frowned. "Don't you realize that his physical body is so strong that even his Divine Embryo is inferior?"
"It is indeed a little abnormal. Isn't such a physical body only possessed by Martial Sages and those in the Transcendent-grade?" Luo Zhuigong echoed.
"Fortunately, the Martial Sage is here." Fu Neng exhaled. "If we had opened the secret chamber and released this unknown fellow, we would probably all have died."
"That's right," Guan Zhonghua sighed.
If they were to face this giant puppet that was crazily attacking the Martial Sage, almost every one of them would die.
Fortunately, the Martial Sage arrived in time!
…
Fu Neng, Guan Zhonghua, and the others were still feeling lingering fear.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was also filled with curiosity.
The size of the fellow in front of him was secondary. The key was that his physical body was unimaginably strong.
The Sword Eyes beams struck repeatedly, but could not penetrate it, only leaving cracks on it.
Such a body was definitely comparable to a Transcendent-grade physical body.
Its sturdiness was no less than that of a martial artists in the third or fifth class of Void Soul.
The Essence Soul did not clash head-on with it because Su Jingxing realized that the other party did not have any consciousness, only instincts. It was like a machine that was being controlled.
A puppet?
A puppet whose body was comparable to the physical body of a Martial Sage?
Realizing this, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul naturally wouldn't fight it head-on. Instead, it played around with him. It led the other party left and right, guiding his attention, but it refused to let him touch itself.
Previously, it was sent flying because it was caught off guard.
Now that Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had locked onto its target and was paying attention to its every move, how could it be hit again?
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul wanted to see how strong this fellow's physical strength was and if there was a limit to it.
In the end, after scanning repeatedly, it discovered that the energies in the other party's entire body were fused. The dancing baneful aura, killing intent, death energy, and so on were all wrapped around his body and not leaking out.
In the Essence Soul's perception, the entire physical body was like a piece of hard metal.
Transcendent body?
Divine Embryo?
Secret ability?
Or all three?
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul thought for a moment and decided not to hold back anymore.
This was because it realized that the power unleashed by this giant puppet seemed to have no limits.
He couldn't be kept alive any longer.
Fortunately, Su Jingxing was the one to encounter it. Anyone else would have been torn to pieces.
Even a Martial Sage who had just broken through to the Transcendent-grade would die if he was careless.
"This fellow was specially left behind by the mastermind to deal with me!"
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul sneered.
Circulating its soul power, it executed the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand.
Boom!
A dazzling white light immediately bloomed, turning into sheets that surrounded the giant puppet from all directions.
Roar!
The giant puppet that was attacking rapidly roared angrily. His entire huge body had no choice but to lie on the ground, unable to move.
The giant palm imprint evolved from the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand materialized and grabbed the giant puppet's limbs and even his head, pressing it to the ground.
Whoosh!
In the sky, a ray of light suddenly bloomed and descended from the sky.
Swoosh!
The sky split into two, and a clear passageway opened up from the sky, extending to the You Family's manor.
Finally, it stopped in front of Su Jingxing's Essence Soul and revealed its true appearance.
The Wandering Dragon Saber!
Now that it had captured the giant puppet, the Essence Soul did not want to waste his soul power and naturally summoned the Wandering Dragon Saber.
Swish!
Saber light bloomed, and the might of a divine weapon was immediately augmented on the puppet's neck.
Clang!
A crisp sound reverberated through the ruins.
The Wandering Dragon Saber's first slash actually did not behead the puppet.
How tough!
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul sent a thought to the Wandering Dragon Saber and allowed it to continue slashing.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
For a time, blade beams connected almost without stopping.
The crisp sounds also filled the air endlessly, turning into a tune.
It only stopped when the blade energy sliced into the ground.
[Card1]
A notification flashed past.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul put away the Wandering Dragon Saber and willed it to soar into the sky and return to the Void World.
Luo Xuangong, Xiao Renwo, Fu Neng, and the others who were watching the battle from afar looked at the sky for a while and exchanged glances before approaching Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
Their gazes swept across the ground a few times before finally landing on the head whose face was facing the sky. Xiao Renwo suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
"What's wrong?" Guan Zhonghua was puzzled.
Xiao Renwo did not respond immediately. Instead, he squatted down and pushed aside the messy hair covering the face. He looked at the square face that was revealed and said in surprise, "I know him."
What?
Guan Zhonghua, Fu Neng, Luo Zhuigong, and the others were stunned.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul also looked at Xiao Renwo curiously. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, definitely."
Xiao Renwo nodded and said seriously, "His name is Xu Zhongze. He's a general of the Kang Nation, but he has been dead for more than 60 years…"
"Wait, wait, Old Xiao, are you confused?"
Guan Zhonghua stretched out his hand and interrupted, "A person who has been dead for more than 60 years can still be resurrected? And kept alive until now? Are you sure you're not seeing things?"
"I said I'm sure, I'm sure. As for why he's alive, I'm also curious about that."
Xiao Renwo raised his eyebrows and said strangely, "Xu Zhongze was a transcendent body martial artist when he was alive. He was also very tall, nearly three meters. When he died back then, he had already condensed a Divine Embryo. If his corpse wasn't destroyed and was refined into a puppet, it would be reasonable for him to become like this."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was silent.
After hearing Xiao Renwo's words, a thought struck him. His main body in the Void World took out the card and held it in his hand to read the information.
The next moment, he could not conceal the joy on his face!
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.
Report chapter
Memory Card!
The card he extracted from Xu Zhongze's corpse was a Memory Card.
This former general of the Kang Nation had indeed "died" more than 60 years ago.
But not completely dead.
His physical body had indeed been refined into a puppet, and half of his soul had been preserved, which made it a remnant soul.
However, when this remnant soul was preserved, something went wrong. It only retained half of its consciousness.
This bit of consciousness no longer had its own autonomy. It was only instinctive and controlled by others.
Su Jingxing not only knew the person who manipulated him, he had even fought him before.
Xiang Qingtian!
The Martial Sage of New Chu Nation, Xiang Qingtian, whose physical body had been killed by Su Jingxing and whose Essence Soul had been injured, was the mastermind behind Ao Chunqiu's injuries and the destruction of the You Family.
Xu Zhongze's Memory Card recorded the latter half of his life.
Su Jingxing wasn't interested in the first half of his life either.
The latter half of his life happened to be of help to Su Jingxing.
Although Xu Zhongze's remnant soul consciousness only had instincts after his "death" more than 60 years ago,
the Memory Card still contained this segment of his memories.
In other words, the memories of Xu Zhongze after he was turned into a puppet and was controlled by Xiang Qingtian.
A puppet that only had instincts was almost like a dead person.
Therefore, Xiang Qingtian had shared a lot of his secrets in front of Xu Zhongze.
Xu Zhongze's remnant soul consciousness clearly recorded these secrets.
Su Jingxing used this opportunity to browse through them one by one.
Xu Zhongze's physical body had been refined by Xiang Qingtian using a secret art to become extremely terrifying. It was comparable to the body of a Martial Sage. It was very difficult for Transcendent-grade martial artists below the fifth class of the Void Soul realm to destroy it.
For this, Xiang Qingtian brought Xu Zhongze everywhere with him.
On this trip to the Yu Nation, Xiang Qingtian first went to the You Family and asked for something called the Heavenly Star Disk.
Although the You Family was a large family in the Fulong Prefecture of the Yu Nation, they were privately supported by the Xiang Family of the New Chu Nation.
In other words, the You Family was actually a subordinate faction of the New Chu Nation's imperial family.
The Heavenly Star Disk was something that the You Family had obtained by chance and had once reported to the Xiang Family.
At that time, the Xiang Family did not ask the You Family to hand it over. Instead, they instructed the You Family to safekeep it.
This time, Xiang Qingtian had suddenly come knocking on their door and asked for the You Family to hand it over.
If everything was fine and the Xiang Family of the New Chu Nation was still a powerful imperial family, there would be no problem. The You Family would respectfully present the Heavenly Star Disk.
However, the Xiang Family of the New Chu Nation was no longer the imperial family of the past.
Xiang Qingtian's physical body had been destroyed by Su Jingxing, and his Essence Soul was also injured.
How could a big family clan like the You Family continue to follow him and listen to his orders?
Therefore, when Xiang Qingtian came knocking on their door, the You Family tried to stall for time while informing Ao Chunqiu to go to the underground of Chengtian Palace and take the Heavenly Star Disk.
The Heavenly Star Disk had been placed under the Chengtian Palace by the You Family. As for the reason, Xu Zhongze had no idea as he did not experience it.
In the end, Xiang Qingtian realized that something was wrong and directly flew to the Chengtian Palace. He injured Ao Chunqiu and took away the Heavenly Star Disk that he had already obtained.
Then, he would return to the You Family and silence everyone.
Of course, it wasn't Xiang Qingtian who took action. Xiang Qingtian was only responsible for hypnotizing everyone within a thousand meters of the You Family's manor and putting them into a deep sleep.
The person who destroyed the You Family was Xu Zhongze!
With a physical body comparable to a martial artist in the fifth class of the Void Soul realm, he was truly invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire. Which one of the You Family members would be Xu Zhongze's match?
Therefore, in the sealed You Family manor, Xu Zhongze launched a bloody massacre, killing everyone in the You Family and destroying most of the buildings.
Finally, they left behind a secret chamber. Xiang Qingtian locked Xu Zhongze in it and set up an array formation outside.
The reason for doing this was to leave Xu Zhongze to Su Jingxing.
If someone else had opened the secret chamber, Xu Zhongze could have come out and started a massacre.
But this would expose Xu Zhongze.
With Xu Zhongze exposed, Su Jingxing would be much easier to deal with.
However, hiding him in the secret chamber and suddenly launching a sneak attack could catch Su Jingxing off guard.
And that was indeed the case.
Xu Zhongze had indeed succeeded. He had ambushed Su Jingxing and sent him flying.
But that was all.
Now, not only did Xu Zhongze fail to achieve Xiang Qingtian's goal, he even exposed Xiang Qingtian's conspiracy.
After this Martial Sage of New Chu got his physical body killed and his Essence Soul injured by Su Jingxing, no one knew what he had been through.
It was unclear why he came to the Yu Nation to ask for the Heavenly Star Disk.
Revenge on Su Jingxing?
Destroy the stability of the Yu Nation?
Su Jingxing couldn't figure it out, but since this fellow had come to the Yu Nation, he had to find him no matter what.
Immediately, Su Jingxing's main body circulated the Six Comets Records in the Void World to deduce Xiang Qingtian's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, he quickly divined the location.
Moreover, the location he obtained was motionless and very close to the capital.
What's going on?
Xiang Qingtian is waiting for me?
They were both Martial Sages. If Su Jingxing could deduce Xiang Qingtian using the heavenly secret arts, Xiang Qingtian could also counterattack using the heavenly secret arts.
Given Xiang Qingtian's Void Soul realm, it was impossible for him to not have any ability to resist.
In the end, Su Jingxing successfully found him.
Something is wrong!
Xiang Qingtian was up to no good. There was definitely something wrong.
However, it was still as he had said earlier. Since Xiang Qingtian was here, he had to go meet him.
At this thought, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul retracted its thoughts and looked at Guan Zhonghua and the others.
"I've already found the murderer. I'll go catch him now. You guys are in charge of handling things here."
With that, he soared into the air and disappeared into the horizon.
Guan Zhonghua, Fu Neng, Xiao Renwo, and the others stood rooted to the ground and looked at one another.
"Is this… real or fake?" asked Luo Zhuigong in shock, his mouth agape.
"It should be true," said Fu Neng excitedly, his mouth agape. He only closed his mouth a while later.
"That's right. There's no need for the Martial Sage to lie to us. Since he said he found the person, he must have." Guan Zhonghua nodded.
Seeing this, the others could only nod in agreement.
Otherwise, there was no way to continue the discussion.
After killing Xu Zhongze, Su Jingxing stood there in silence for a while.
He said that the murderer had been found.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be mocked to death.
A Martial Sage was different.
No one knew what the Martial Sages would do.
Guan Zhonghua and the others weren't in the Transcendent-grade, so they weren't sure either. The only thing they could do was trust Su Jingxing.
Since he said he would catch the murderer, he would definitely do so!
…
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul, which was flying through the air, ignored Guan Zhonghua and the others.
It was up to them whether they wanted to believe it or not.
The divined location of Xiang Qingtian was less than 600 miles away from the capital.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul traversed through space and quickly arrived at its destination.
On an open-air hillside where half of a mountain peak had collapsed and the valley was mostly sunken,
Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul lay under the shade of a tree. Its body alternated between illusory and corporeal.
Seeing Su Jingxing's Essence Soul coming from afar, it actually smiled and greeted it like an old friend.
"You're finally here."

Does this mean that Xiang Qingtian has been waiting for me to come knocking on his door?
Su Jingxing was puzzled, but his aura did not change at all.
The Essence Soul descended to the hillside.
When it got closer, he then realized that there was something wrong with Xiang Qingtian.
His Essence Soul's body was very unstable!
The illusory soul body seemed to have a huge hole in it. There wasn't much soul power left, and its transcendent-grade aura was also extremely weak.
Injured?
It's not an ordinary injury, but a serious injury that is almost fatal!
With this thought in mind, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul sensed the body of Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul again and carefully scanned his changes.
In the Thunder Dragon's vision, Xiang Qingtian's soul body had indeed suffered destructive injuries!
For a moment, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was stunned.
Xiang Qingtian, who sneaked into the Yu Nation, injured Ao Chunqiu, destroyed the You Family, and stole the Heavenly Star Disk, was actually about to die?
His physical body had already been killed by Su Jingxing. Now, it was an Essence Soul. Once the Essence Soul was gone, he would be completely dead!
What happened?
Who severely injured Xiang Qingtian?
It looked up at the collapsed mountain peak and the collapsed valley.
That's right, a huge battle had once broken out here.
So the outcome of the battle is Xiang Qingtian losing? Being on the verge of death?
"Stop looking."
Xiang Qingtian smiled gently and said, "You didn't see wrongly. I'm about to die. As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are kind. At this point, there's nothing left for me to scheme. The reason why I've lasted until now is to wait for you to come. I hope you can help me take care of New Chu and…"
"Hold on."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul interrupted, "I can tell that you're about to die, but what do you mean by specially waiting for me to come and asking me to take care of New Chu?
"If I remember correctly, I was the one who killed your physical body. Not only are we not friends, we even share a deep grudge. And you're asking me to take care of New Chu?"
"That's right." Xiang Qingtian smiled. "We have a grudge, but it's also because of this that I'm handing New Chu to you. Even if I lose, it will only be on the surface. Also, the policies of the Yu Nation are better for the citizens. I'm very at ease handing New Chu to you."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul remained silent.
Xiang Qingtian's intentions could not be more straightforward.
He had lost. It was unknown who he had lost to.
Now that he was on the verge of death, he waited for Su Jingxing to come so that he could send New Chu out and integrate it into the Yu Nation.
This was not betraying the nation, but finding a new backer, a new guardian angel for the New Chu Nation!
Once news of Xiang Qingtian's death spread, there was no need to wait for the Void World monsters to descend and create all kinds of disasters,
the tentacles of other countries would reach into New Chu to seize territory and people.
This would definitely lead to the destruction of the New Chu Nation and countless casualties.
Even though the Xiang Family was tyrannical and domineering in New Chu, it was still the empire that their ancestor had fought for and established after all.
How could Xiang Qingtian watch the nation fall and its people die?
Allowing the Yu Nation to integrate and annex it would be much simpler.
Although there would be people who were indignant and casualties, with a Martial Sage suppressing things, there wouldn't be many casualties.
Of course.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul believed that this matter wasn't that simple and would benefit him for nothing.
"Are you that kind?" asked Su Jingxing's Essence Soul bluntly.
"Haha."
Xiang Qingtian laughed out loud. "In your eyes, I'm probably not a good person. There's nothing to argue about this now. However, to reassure you, I'll state a condition. The people who injured me are two women.
"One of them is about 16 or 17 years old. She has an oval face and fair skin. There is some baby fat on both sides of her face. The other is peerlessly beautiful. She has a graceful figure and cold eyes. Both of them have outstanding auras, the kind that are extraordinary and ethereal.
"They are very strong and are in the Soul Fixation realm, but they are not human!"
"Not human?"
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul raised its eyebrows.
"Yes, they aren't humans." Xiang Qingtian's voice turned cold. "I don't know what they are exactly. I've never come into contact with their race before, but they aren't humans. The two of them ambushed me, one from the front and one from the back. They seized the Heavenly Star Disk. My condition is simple. Find them, seize the Heavenly Star Disk from them, and expose their existence!"
"Expose?" Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was puzzled. "Not kill them?"
"I do want their lives, but the question is, can you kill them?" Xiang Qingtian chuckled.
"…"
He's looking down on me!
At the very least, they were in the Soul Fixation realm. For Su Jingxing's Essence Soul, it indeed would not be easy to kill them.
However, if it were Su Jingxing's physical body with the might of spiritual martial arts, it would be a different matter.
Of course, Xiang Qingtian didn't know this, and Su Jingxing's Essence Soul wouldn't expose itself either.
"I agree."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul pondered for a moment and said, "Find the people who injured you, take back the Heavenly Star Disk and expose their existence. No problem!"
"That's enough." The body of Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul distorted.
"Wait," added Su Jingxing's Essence Soul. "Don't be in a hurry to die. You haven't told me what's going on with the Heavenly Star Disk."
"Ah, the Heavenly Star Disk."
Xiang Qingtian's words began to slow down. "It's a legend. Before you killed my physical body, I didn't take it seriously. But since my physical body was gone, in order to reconstruct it, I searched through countless materials before I found a method with no side effects in an ancient manual. It draws on the power of the stars to reconstruct the body!
"This method requires the mysterious treasure, the Heavenly Star Disk. Coincidentally, the You Family in the Yu Nation's capital once found a mysterious disl and reported it to the Xiang Family. After repeated verification, I confirmed that this disk is the Heavenly Star Disk!
"For this, I came to the Yu Nation to ask the You Family for the disk. They refused to give it to me, so I naturally stopped being polite.
"To my surprise, I became a mantis after obtaining the Heavenly Star Disk. There was an oriole watching from behind me. Those two women ambushed me and stole the Heavenly Star Disk. Compared to me, they seemed to know more about the Heavenly Star Disk.
Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul body became increasingly unstable and began to turn transparent.
"Al-Alright, I don't have much time left. If you want to know about the Heavenly Star Disk, just find those two women and ask them.
"Now, hurry up and extradite the nation's fate."
With that, something familiar to Su Jingxing popped out from Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul.
The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal!
On Earth Star, annexing a country was not just about establishing territory.
Most importantly, one had to gather the nation's fate and integrate the Void World territories.
For example, when the Yu Nation would now annex the New Chu Nation,
Su Jingxing had to use the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal to receive the fate of the New Chu Nation.
The easiest and fastest way to do this was to extradite them through the Kingdom Defending Jade Seals of the two countries.
After the extradition was completed, Su Jingxing also fused the Void World area of the New Chu Nation with the Yu Nation's.
The problem was that the extradition of the nation's fate and the fusion of the Void World territories required both parties' cooperation.
In other words, it could not be forcefully executed.
It would be a lie to say that Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was not surprised by Xiang Qingtian's suggestion.
This fellow was actually willing to give up New Chu and give him more than two billion citizens?!

"What are you waiting for? You still think I'm lying at this point?"
Seeming to have seen through the Essence Soul's thoughts, Xiang Qingtian smiled weakly and said, "I'm about to die and disappear completely. Why would I lie to you? What good would that do me?"
"…Let's begin."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul did not mention anything else and also summoned the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal from the Void World.
Swoosh!
A ray of white light descended from the sky.
The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal that Su Jingxing had personally forged came before him.
Regardless of whether Xiang Qingtian had really given up or was just putting on an act, the Essence Soul was confident that it could take care of him.
Previously, Su Jingxing had agreed to it as a test. Now, his agreement was his acknowledgment.
Xiang Qingtian knew the difference, so he grinned but did not expose him.
Only his soul power controlled the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal to float in the air.
Buzz!
Buzz!
The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal in the Essence Soul's hand also floated in the air and shook slightly.
The two Kingdom Defending Jade Seals were independent of each other. First, they were three meters apart, then two meters apart, and finally, half a meter apart.
An invisible force emanated from within each of them and guided them together.
Beams of light shot out like searchlights, blooming on the slope.
Space began to churn, and ripples spread out like water waves.
It first filled the mountain, then the valley, and then the wilderness. Step by step, circle by circle, it quickly spread in all directions.
Soon, the entire Fulong Prefecture was enveloped, followed by half of the Yu Nation.
During this process, invisible energy fluctuations also swept through the entire New Chu Nation with the capital as the center.
When the Yu Nation's territory was completely covered, the New Chu Nation would also be completely covered.
The two Kingdom Defending Jade Seals suddenly trembled at the same time.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A visible beam of light stirred and wrapped around them, guiding the two Kingdom Defending Jade Seals closer and closer.
In the end, the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal controlled by Xiang Qingtian was moved beneath the seal controlled by Su Jingxing's Essence Soul and kept shaking.
From the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal below, strand after strand of the nation's fate aura crawled out and was absorbed by the one above.
When all the nation's fate aura was completely transferred, the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal below turned into a rock and dropped to the ground.
The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal controlled by Su Jingxing's Essence Soul sensed the aura of the nation's fate inside and surged.
With a thought, the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal soared into the sky and returned to the Void World.
Without needing his main body to control it, the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal that was enveloped in light automatically projected rings of light into the darkness.
Everywhere it passed, the invisible and intangible dark areas disappeared like smoke.
After the darkness faded, the New Chu Nation's Void World territory was clearly presented before his eyes. It had perfectly merged with the Yu Nation's Void World area.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Light bloomed and spread in all directions.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul on the ground and his main body in the Void World looked at the expanded guarding area. With a thought, they enlarged and shrank the real territory of the New Chu Nation.
The light barrier released by the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal covered every inch of the additional area.
Without needing a single soldier, without causing a single casualty, the Yu Nation had completed its annexation of the New Chu Nation!
Of course, this was the annexation of another country by one in the Void World.
In reality, the Yu Nation still needed time to annex the New Chu Nation and resolve all kinds of troubles.
However, that was the business of Guan Zhonghua, Luo Shan and Xiao Renwo.
To Su Jingxing, the larger the area he guarded in the Void World, the more fate he could mobilize.
The populations of the Yu Nation and the New Chu Nation added up to nearly five billion people.
If all five billion people worshiped and acknowledged Su Jingxing, he would be able to contend against a person in the Primordial Spirit realm with the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal alone.
With a population of nearly five billion people, even the Primordial Spirit realm could not easily break through the protection of the nation's fate.
Mobilizing the people's faith to fight was equally powerful.
Xiang Qingtian didn't cause any trouble. This fellow actually really gave New Chu to Su Jingxing for the Yu Nation to annex!
…
"How… how is it? I… I didn't lie to you, did I?" said Xiang Qingtian with a weak smile. His Essence Soul was already translucent.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul remained silent.
Even though it turned out to be true, Su Jingxing still had some doubts.
"The… the nation's fates have been fused. You… you still don't believe me?"
Xiang Qingtian spoke again. "Forget… Forget it. I'll h-help you one more time to… to resolve your subsequent troubles."
After finishing his words with great difficulty, Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul emitted a burst of light.
Swish!
A circle of light with a diameter of two meters appeared in the air more than ten meters above the ground.
"Watch… watch carefully," said Xiang Qingtian weakly. Light surged on the circle of light and turned into a mirror-like screen.
Xiang Qingtian and Su Jingxing's Essence Soul were both inside.
Then, the circle of light slowly moved down, revealing their upper bodies. The image on the screen also expanded.
When it stopped more than two meters above Su Jingxing's Essence Soul,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Circular light screens shot out in all directions with the light rings as the center.
These circular light screens first covered every prefecture in the Yu Nation. Then, they crossed the border and appeared in every prefecture in the New Chu Nation.
Whoosh!
The air above Su Jingxing's Essence Soul suddenly shook and ripples appeared.
These ripples affected the entire prefecture, and everyone could see it.
When the ripples disappeared, the faces of Xiang Qingtian and Su Jingxing's Essence Souls appeared in the air.
The huge faces blotted out the sky!
The scene of Xiang Qingtian provoking Su Jingxing for the first time and issuing a challenge appeared again.
The difference was that last time, only Xiang Qingtian's face was present. This time, there was Su Jingxing in the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor.
The two of them appeared together in the sky above every prefecture in the Yu Nation and New Chu Nation. Everyone in the two countries saw them.
"People of New Chu, I am Xiang Qingtian, New Chu's Martial Sage."
Holding up with his last breath, Xiang Qingtian maintained the clarity on his face and slowly spoke to the circle of light in front of him.
"I'm sorry to inform everyone that I'm going to die.
"That's right, even a Martial Sage will die. The people who killed me are two people of a foreign race. They are sisters. I've already asked this Martial Sage of the Yu Nation beside me to find them and expose them!
"In order to thank the Yu Nation's Martial Sage for his help and to save everyone from a calamity, on behalf of the New Chu imperial family, I've discussed with the Yu Nation's Martial Sage and invited him to continue to guard New Chu on my behalf. From today onwards, the Yu Nation and New Chu are one family.
"Because of my demise, New Chu will merge into the Yu Nation. This process has been completed. I hope that the people of New Chu can cooperate with the arrangements of the Yu Nation and achieve the unification of the two countries.
"Finally, I thank the Yu Nation's Martial Sage for his help again. Although he injured me once before, I don't blame him.
"I'm very ashamed. Compared to me, the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation is more suitable to be a guardian. I hope the people of New Chu will like him, support him, and worship him.
"I can guarantee that the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation is definitely worthy of your love!"
With that, Xiang Qingtian's Essence Soul turned into a wisp of mist and dissipated.
The light rings and screens that were projected in all directions also disappeared at the same time, bringing back the clear sky.

The extraction notification flashed, indicating that Xiang Qingtian was completely dead.
But Su Jingxing wasn't happy.
This fellow had given up on the New Chu Nation too easily.
Due to the instability of the Essence Soul's body, Xiang Qingtian's soul power fluctuated violently with every word he said.
Under such circumstances, even if Su Jingxing wanted to verify if Xiang Qingtian was lying, he couldn't be 100% sure.
Since Xiang Qingtian said that he did not resent him, Su Jingxing could only believe 30% of his words.
Not even half.
If Xiang Qingtian was so magnanimous, his Essence Soul wouldn't have immediately rushed to Giant Shark Island to seek revenge on Su Jingxing when his physical body was killed.
This fellow must have left behind a hidden card!
He didn't stop even after death, and continued causing trouble for Su Jingxing.
I wonder what this hidden hand is?
Is it hidden in the Yu Nation or in the New Chu Nation?
There were some places in the Yu Nation that contained secrets that Su Jingxing didn't know about.
Xia Cangxuan had died too quickly, and had no time to tell him.
As such, Su Jingxing could only curb any problems in the Yu Nation when they erupted.
Su Jingxing could understand if Xiang Qingtian had hidden his trump card in the Yu Nation.
But intuitively,he believed that Xiang Qingtian's hidden hand should be in the New Chu Nation.
New Chu was the Xiang Family's territory!
Su Jingxing knew nothing about the situation in the New Chu Nation.
His main body unlocked the card he had extracted and held it in his hand. He read the card and realized that it was a Skill Card.
It recorded a soul skill called the Divine Light Projection Technique!
This was an ultimate technique that could achieve remote monitoring and transmission of images from thousands of miles.
Su Jingxing carefully browsed through the information and confirmed that the technique Xiang Qingtian used to cover the sky twice to make announcements to the world was this Divine Light Projection Technique!
As long as he knew the exact location and used this soul skill, he would be able to see the local scenery even from thousands of miles away.
This also included transmitting his image and voice thousands of miles away.
For example, Xiang Qingtian had projected his face in the 18 prefectures of the Yu Nation the last time he was in the New Chu Nation.
This time, in the Yu Nation, his face was projected everywhere in New Chu.
It could be said that the Divine Light Projection Technique was even more technologically advanced than the most advanced surveillance equipment.
Su Jingxing had wanted to get a Memory Card to look at Xiang Qingtian's memories and figure out what tricks he had up his sleeve.
Obtaining this magical soul skill was not too bad either.
He was in no hurry to unlock it and temporarily put the card away.
Su Jingxing's main body walked around the Void World to check on the new territory from the New Chu Nation.
The Essence Soul flew through the air and returned to the capital.
It could find out significantly more about the situation in New Chu from Guan Zhonghua, Xiao Renwo, Fu Neng, and the other cabinet members!
…
Su Jingxing's main body and Essence Soul moved together.
However, the people of the Yu Nation and New Chu Nation were in an uproar.
Xiang Qingtian's announcement spread throughout the world.
The information revealed within shocked the people of the two countries. They were all shocked, horrified, and in disbelief. They were also inexplicably excited.
"The Martial Sage is mighty! The Martial Sage is domineering! The Martial Sage is too cool! Ahhh!"
"F*ck, f*ck, this has overturned my worldview. It's too unimaginable. New Chu's Martial Sage actually didn't die the last time. He was going to die this time so he actually entrusted New Chu to the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation? What is New Chu's Martial Sage thinking? Ah, he actually compromised so easily?"
"That's right, that's right, that's right. I'm too f*cking excited, too excited. The Martial Sage is awesome, the Martial Sage is so d*mn cool. New Chu's Martial Sage is about to die, but he actually wants our Martial Sage to take in the people of New Chu. What does this mean? It means that the charm of our Yu Nation's Martial Sage is heaven-defying! New Chu's Martial Sage is willing to admit defeat and bow down to him!"
"Hahaha, if I remember correctly, the New Chu Nation has been trying to annex the Yu Nation for nearly a hundred years. This is so unexpected, so unexpected that today, the Yu Nation would actually annex the New Chu Nation!"
"…"
Street corners and alleys, teahouse restaurants, home and outside.
Countless people of the Yu Nation gathered in groups of twos and threes to excitedly discuss the annexation of the New Chu Nation.
On the Internet, there was even a huge commotion, shouting that the Martial Sage was mighty and awesome.
This was too shocking and exciting.
At this moment, the confidence and morale of the Yu Nation's people was unprecedentedly high.
Su Jingxing's main body held the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal and watched helplessly as the Sage Origin Fruits condensed and formed one after another.
Ever since the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal was forged, he had only condensed one Sage Origin Fruit.
In the end, Xiang Qingtian's "submission", "allegiance", and "surrender" stimulated the morale of the Yu Nation's citizens. Sage Origin Fruits were quickly condensed.
Su Jingxing's main body watched on happily such that he was no longer angry about Xiang Qingtian leaving behind a hidden hand.
On the other side.
In New Chu, countless people were also clamoring.
"The Martial Sage is dead? Xiang Qingtian is dead? He handed us over to the Yu Nation? Is this for real?"
"Didn't the Martial Sage die the last time? Why would he die a second time? However, no matter how many times he would die, it's fine as long as he's dead. It's even better if we become Yu Nation citizens!"
"That's right. I've long wanted to go to the Yu Nation. The treatment of the citizens of the Yu Nation is countless times better than that of New Chu. Now that the Yu Nation has directly annexed New Chu, we can also enjoy life in the future!"
"B*stards! You spineless cowards! B*stards! We are Chu people, yet we are forced to kneel and surrender to our former enemies today. Shame! This is the shame of all Chu people…"
Pa!
"Old fellow, get lost. It's your business to grovel to the Xiang Family. You must not represent me. I don't want to continue being a dog."
"Hehe, they won't have a chance to be dogs even if they want to. The Martial Sage is the top combat power in the world. Without the Martial Sage holding down the fort, do you think the imperial Xiang Family can continue to stay above? As long as the Yu Nation's Martial Sage arrives, the imperial family and all big clans will have to kneel down and submit!"
"That's right. That the Yu Nation has annexed New Chu is anything but bad for us. What we're worried about is the people above. Tsk tsk, what those big clans and factions can do now is to quickly transfer their assets to other countries. Otherwise, no one knows how the Yu Nation's Martial Sage… no, he's our new Martial Sage now. No one knows how the new Martial Sage will handle things when he arrives."
"What else? They either surrender or die. Only these two options!"
…
To the people of New Chu, not only were they not afraid of Su Jingxing replacing Xiang Qingtian, they were instead extremely excited.
The imperial family, the Xiang Family, had always been executing coercion policies on the citizens.
The people of New Chu had long yearned for the comfortable and free life of the Yu Nation.
Therefore, most of the people of New Chu were very excited about this turn of events. Only a few loyal followers of the Xiang Family, or those who had gone crazy from studying, cursed angrily and roared at the sky, cursing Su Jingxing for not dying with Xiang Qingtian.
Su Jingxing had seen these people.
He memorized their faces and did not deal with them.
This was because they were also citizens of the Yu Nation now. A few curses would not affect him.
In comparison, the imperial family, the Xiang Family, was a huge problem, a huge hidden danger!

Chapter 394: Surveillance Across Tens of Thousands of Miles!
"The Xiang Family is indeed more troublesome. However, these big clans and factions have always valued benefits the most. As long as we ensure that their basic benefits are not affected, we have a 90% chance of convincing them to submit."
In the Yu Nation's capital, in the large conference room, Guan Zhonghua met the gaze of Su Jingxing's Essence Soul and said excitedly.
"That's right. The people below don't know or understand, but as the imperial family, how could the Xiang Family not understand? No matter how much they resist and how indignant they are, they can only surrender. The Void World territories of the two countries have been fused into one. Unless they evacuate the borders of the two countries and go to other countries to live, they can only accept their fate!" Luo Xuangong nodded.
"Most importantly, the person who entrusted New Chu to our Martial Sage is Xiang Qingtian! The Xiang Family's biggest backer, their ancestor, had gotten a new backer for New Chu in front of the world. As descendants of the Xiang Family, if they escape to other countries, how can they have the cheek to appear in front of others again? If they don't even listen to their ancestor, who will associate and make deals with them?" Fu Neng chuckled.
"So, as long as we don't touch the Xiang Family's foundation, convincing them will be the easiest?"
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul pondered after hearing their thoughts.
"That's right. There's no need for you to come forward personally, Martial Sage. Old Luo and the others, no matter who goes, just one person will be enough to convince the Xiang Family to submit and cooperate with our subsequent actions," Luo Xuangong said seriously.
Subduing New Chu was mainly about subduing the forces of the upper echelons.
The Xiang Family was the most important. As long as the Xiang Family submitted, it would be much easier to subdue the other three families.
Ordinary people might not know, but how could the upper echelons not know that after the two countries' Void World territories were fused, they were only left with two options?
Either obediently accept their fate or leave.
Escaping to other countries was undoubtedly the most indignant for them.
They had worked hard for so many years. Their influence and financial resources were all in New Chu. If they suddenly retreated, these invisible strength and powers would disappear overnight.
No one would choose to do this until the last moment.
And staying was equally difficult. What they were most worried about was the benefits in their hands being seized.
Therefore, as long as they were basically immobile, it would not be difficult to subdue the upper echelons of New Chu.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, it said seriously, "Then we won't touch their foundation. However, in other aspects, they have to be on par with the Yu Nation. The imperial family will be dismissed and changed to the Xiang Family. I'll be watching from the sky. If anything goes wrong, I'll descend immediately."
"Understood!"
Luo Xuangong, Guan Zhonghua, and the others responded in unison.
Excitement was written all over their faces.
Great news, this is great news!
Initially, they thought that it was a case of extermination by a Transcendent-grade expert. They did not expect things to turn around and become the annexation of a dynasty.
This dynasty was the powerful New Chu Nation!
As members of the cabinet, Guan Zhonghua and Luo Xuangong were like people sitting at home when a huge cake had fallen from the sky.
After the Yu Nation annexed New Chu, the dynasty they managed would double in size at once.
Such matters were simply too satisfying for politicians.
Which of them would complain that they had too much power?
They wouldn't even feel tired of unifying the Eastern Continent, let alone annexing New Chu.
Martial Sages were only responsible for the safety of the dynasty and did not care about anything else.
Therefore, the people below were in an uproar and cheering. The cabinet big shots like Guan Zhonghua and Luo Xuangong were also extremely excited.
After some discussion, Luo Xuangong immediately led his team to New Chu to subdue the Xiang Family.
The experts of the Sacred Martial Hall followed behind and moved out in batches.
The experts were going along just in case.
Even if the Xiang Family submitted to them, it wouldn't be easy to annex New Chu.
They could only say that they would try their best not to kill if they could.
It would be best if the transition was smooth.
Su Jingxing could leave the bases of New Chu's Xiang Family and the other three major families alone, but the rest of their rights had to be taken away and decided by the cabinet.
Otherwise, New Chu would still be the same as before. This matter was non-negotiable.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul said that it would be watching from the sky. That was not consolation.
Instead, his Essence Soul had really returned to the Void World and its gaze was following Luo Xuangong on their journey.
Once Luo ZXuangong failed to subdue the Xiang Family, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul would descend immediately and destroy the Xiang Family.
The Essence Soul had a mission.
The Blood Doppelganger guarded the largest crematorium on the outskirts of the capital and extracted cards.
His main body also had something to do.
After obtaining all the information about New Chu from Guan Zhonghua, Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain in Qinghe City. He closed the door and quickly flipped through them.
He had to find the hidden hand that Xiang Qingtian had left behind.
In the end, after flipping through all the information, he realized that there was no organization or faction that could possibly be part of Xiang Qingtian's secret scheme.
If there was, it would be the Xiang Family.
Apart from that, there were three hidden danger zones in New Chu that were quite terrifying.
These three places were: the Ice Wind Valley, Dark Moon Heavenly Abyss, and Blood Eye Cliff.
In any of the three perilous lands, one would not be able to come out again.
Even an expert at the peak of the first-grade who had condensed a Divine Embryo would lose contact after entering.
Other than this, there was very little information about these three locations.
Su Jingxing thought for a moment after reading the information.
He took out Martial Arts Practice Cards and cultivated the Divine Light Projection Technique.
This martial art was different from other soul skills. It was so magical that one could do remote monitoring, and could also be used in the physical state.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul needed to keep an eye on the Xiang Family, the other families and major factions in the New Chu Nation.
As long as his main body cultivated the Divine Light Projection Technique, he could still examine the three perilous lands from afar.
After using more than ten Martial Arts Practice Cards, he reached the Advanced level.
A soul skill of this level was about enough. Su Jingxing immediately used the Divine Light Projection Technique. According to the detailed location of the three perilous lands provided in the information, he condensed rings of light.
The first ring targeted the Ice Wind Valley.
In the image, strong winds that filled the sky danced in the air like ice blades, sweeping through the entire valley.
In the huge Ice Wind Valley, other than the strong winds that froze life in a few seconds, there were no other living creatures.
Yes, there weren't even any plants, let alone animals.
This was a true land of peril. No one knew how it was formed.
The second ring targeted the Dark Moon Heavenly Abyss.
It was an underground abyss that was more than 300 miles long, a few hundred meters wide with an unknown depth.
In the image, Su Jingxing saw nothing but deep darkness.
The circle of light could move, from top to bottom, or left to right.
Then, he followed the abyss. Less than 500 meters down, he could no longer see anything.
Su Jingxing wouldn't know what was going on in the abyss unless he went there personally. He took a few glances from a distance and put away the ring of light.
After all, maintaining the Divine Light Projection Technique consumed a lot of soul power.
The third ring targeted the Blood Eye Cliff.
It was a cliff, but half of it was on the surface and the other half underground.
The cliff was blood red and covered in strange black moss.
Looking down at it from the sky, there was nothing outstanding. However, when he got close to the cliff, even from ten thousand miles away, Su Jingxing could feel an invisible terror suddenly impacting his mind!
