Chapter 218: Chapter 158: Plan, Kill Them All_2
Chu Zheng finally organized his thoughts, gradually sorting the tangled information in his mind, and soon several most likely guesses emerged.
First, the Immortal Alliance's plan might be to give up the Cangyun, and bury the evil demon portal of this region along with the external invaders currently intruding, into the starry sky once and for all.
The second possibility was to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf by connecting two space portals, using the power of the outer demons to deal with the enemies beyond this space channel.
Beyond these two possibilities, there was a third one... that the message previously reported to the higher authorities by Geng Yiyang was suppressed by that Demon Immortal.
But in such a case, Zhao Tingxian, who currently presided over the Heavenly Dao, couldn't possibly be unaware.
Based on this, Zhao Tingxian might have his own plans and was very likely in cahoots with that Demon Immortal...
Chu Zheng shook his head, dispelling the numerous speculations in his mind, and looked towards Qing Mu, his gaze regaining its cold focus:
"Send a message, inform your kin, and say that a space portal has been discovered here, and gather them at this location."
Upon hearing this, Qing Mu's gaze shifted slightly, glanced at the Lihuo Spear in Chu Zheng's hand, and asked with a trembling voice, "What are you planning to do?"
Chu Zheng didn't speak, but just held the Lihuo Spear tighter, Qing Mu's fingertips trembled, but under the immense pressure of death, he still transmitted the message, spreading the news of the discovered space portal throughout the entire sea.
Soon, in the void, waves of aura fluctuations transmitted, and the demon Qi became increasingly dense.
"In front of you all, to kill your kin causes harm to Heavenly harmony, I'll send you on your way first."
Chu Zheng soon sensed many approaching demon auras. He no longer hesitated, and after a low murmur, he raised his hand with a horizontal sweep of his spear, slaughtering four demons including Qing Mu, allowing demon blood to drench his entire body.
Regardless of the truth, the fact he saw was that the Demon Race had betrayed the Human Race, trying to escape alone. He no longer wanted to waste his energy thinking about anything else.
What he needed to do now was to kill all the demons converging towards this location.
According to the law of the Immortal Alliance, those who retreat in the face of battle will be executed.
It's ironic, he was now the master of a Holy Land, barely counted as part of the Immortal Alliance; enforcing the law, was not considered overstepping.
In an instant, several figures rapidly approached, their bodies grew wings, obviously demon birds, their speed was terrifyingly fast, far exceeding the typical Cultivators of the Soul Condensing Realm.
The moment they saw Chu Zheng, the group of demon birds didn't hesitate at all, attacking instantly, already sensing the thick demon blood Qi on Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng didn't unleash the Divine Fire, his figure gradually vanished into the void, and he first sealed the void with the Minor Five Elements Sword Formation to avoid alarming the subsequent demons who continued to rush towards this location.
Hum—
The next moment, the Sword Formation lit up, five-colored divine lights isolated all fluctuations.
After several breaths, the Sword Formation dissipated, demon blood mixed with skeletons fell into the ocean, several feathers drifted down, devoid of any sign of life.
...
...
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
In the Northern Demon Plains, after so many years of recuperation, even though there was predation among the clans, the number of demons bred was still astoundingly high.
If it weren't for the Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure, the Lihuo Spear, and the robustness of the Heavenly Aura Sword far surpassing top-quality magical treasures, Chu Zheng wouldn't know how many weapons he would have had to shatter just to annihilate the incoming enemies.
The space portal in the Rift Valley Sea became more apparent, a very obvious crack had appeared, rising and falling as if it were breathing.
Soon, a very distinct special spiritual energy surged out from the space crack.
Though it was spiritual energy, compared to that within the Cangyun Realm, there were significant differences, with an otherworldly aura of the Heavenly Dao permeating through it.
The portal had been open for several days without any movement, until nearly ten days later, when a slight ripple occurred.
A somewhat ethereal figure crossed through the space portal, arriving above the Rift Valley Sea, but was stunned by everything before its eyes.
The crimson ocean, with its thick waves like blood, occasionally revealed skeletons within the foams, now emerging on the surface, now smashed back into the abyss, within a radius of thousands of miles, a desolate and horrific painting was formed.
A blood-coloured figure sat cross-legged in midair, a large spear lying horizontally on his lap, his robes a deep red - it was unclear whether this was their original color, or they had been dyed by fresh blood. The crown on his head was also soaked in demon blood, showing no true color.
Chu Zheng calmly observed the newcomer, his face soon transmitting information.
[Feng Yue (Sixth Order): An incarnation of the Demon Emperor, newly condensed, affected by the laws of Heaven and Earth, its combat power weakened, only comparable to a cultivator at the Early Tongxuan Stage.]
There was no trace of demon Qi on Feng Yue's body, dressed in fine clothes, nearly in his forties, and if not for the panel's hint, Chu Zheng would never have thought that the handsome man before him was a giant demon.
Upon seeing this incarnation, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
As he had anticipated, the Demon Emperor was already equivalent to a fighter of the Immortal Tribulation Realm of the Human Race, ranked at the Seventh Order, and fundamentally unable to traverse across realms through this spatial channel.
"These... did you kill them?"
Feng Yue looked at the endless bones in the vast ocean, feeling a chill in his head and feet for a moment. He had come here at the behest of a Demon Immortal, unaware whether any of the mingled bones contained the bloodline of Demon Immortals.
With the situation turning out this way, his return empty-handed was inevitable, and punishment was certain.
Chu Zheng bowed his head, wiped the blood off the Lihuo Spear, and nodded:
"What you see before your eyes, I have killed all."
Crack—
Faint spatial fissures spread from beside Feng Yue. He tightened his palm and repeatedly said:
"Good, good, good."
His eyes were filled with killing intent, but he did not advance to strike. He recognized at a glance the reality of the Lihuo Spear, a Tongxuan Spiritual Treasure at its peak state, a manifestation of his that he simply could not handle.
Feng Yue suppressed the rage in his heart and spoke coldly:
Stay connected with M-V-L
"Young fellow, what is your name?"
"Chu Zheng."
"I have remembered it."
Feng Yue's expression regained its composure, only the killing intent remained in his eyes:
"If you can live a bit longer, this name... many Demon Immortals within the Immortal Alliance will know it."
"That would be for the best."
Chu Zheng's expression remained utterly unrippled, the killing intent of a Demon Emperor insignificant in his eyes.
"I have seen many with exceptional talents, but sometimes high talents do not mean you can live long."
Feng Yue dropped this line, said no more, and turned to step into the spatial channel.
Chu Zheng, unmoved, bowed his head to wipe his spear, muttering:
"I am not yet twenty, grant me another ten years, and I will take your head, hardly more difficult than killing them. You are likely to die before me."
Feng Yue's steps hesitated, he abruptly turned around, giving Chu Zheng a deep look, as if to engrave his figure into his eyes.
"If you don't wish to leave, then stay."
Chu Zheng raised his head, the Lihuo Spear in his palm had already disappeared without a trace.
Feng Yue felt a sudden blast of evil wind above his head. In his haste, he looked up, only to see a void melted by Divine Fire.
The intense Divine Fire engulfed the spatial channel, and in the blink of an eye, Feng Yue's figure melted into a wisp of blue smoke, leaving no trace behind.
The spatial channel faintly twisted, as a terrifying burst of energy caused it to teeter on the brink of collapse.
...
...
In the outer space, stars shimmered like a sea.
On a meteor, Shang Zuling's gaze was downcast, her back straight as a pine tree, her originally slightly yellow complexion now a bit pale.
Her eyes scanned the people of myriad realms in the distance, beginning to ponder.
From birth, a voice inside her had told her she was a descendant of the Immortal King. The origin of this voice was unknown to her, but her bloodline informed her she could contact this voice at any time.
Yet she had never attempted such a thing and did not have much confidence.
But the current situation had reached a point where she had no choice but to try.
In front of the myriad realms' camp, stood a towering figure, propping up the heavens and shouldering the Earth, the meteor but a plaything at its fingertips.
Laws of Heaven and Earth, the true Divine Skills of the Qi Refining lineage.
This was a true Heavenly Immortal, surrounded by clearly visible Immortal Light, who, even without undergoing the thunder tribulation, had relied on his own strength to cultivate a pure Immortal Body and foster genuine immortal power.
