Chapter 1099: Demon in the Deity Ground
The Yuntian Palace had turned into a battlefield.
Lu Yanxue, Fire Spirit King and the Sect Master of the Mieqing Sect looked at Chen Fan, clearly dumbfounded. They watched those six demons kill a hundred peak-stage Golden Core Cultivators like chickens.
“This… This…”
Fire Spirit King pointed at Mu Xiao.
Mu Xiao grabbed the leader of the cultivators in black, who was a Half Heavenly Lord. It tore his dantian apart, took out his Golden Core and ate it like chestnuts. It was extremely brutal.
The head of the Mieqing Sect lowered his head and said, “All those demons are Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords; they are as powerful as Heavenly General Yuan Feng.”
Everyone gasped.
That was more than one Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord! There had only been a couple even in the ancient times. Where did they come from? Together with Chen Fan, there were seven Nascent Soul Cultivators present.
Fire Spirit King and the others were speechless.
Chen Fan immediately untied Qi Xiu’er and gave her a Spirit Pill. Qi Xiu’er wasn’t extremely injured, so her body recovered swiftly. She got up and said, “Master, you’re finally back.”
“Hm!”
Chen Fan nodded.
He then snatched Yuan Feng’s Divine Soul from within his shattered Nascent Soul. It was light golden in color and it swayed with the wind. It seemed to be a little weak after losing the protection of his Nascent Soul.
Chen Fan took out a precious Soul Pill, crushed it and put it into Yuan Feng’s Divine Soul, making it enlarge. At the same time, he brought out the “Red Sparrow Seven Fire” of the “Nine Underworld Fiend Fire.”
“No, Heavenly Lord. Please don’t kill me,” Yuan Feng’s Divine Soul yelled in fear.
He knew that Chen Fan was going to burn his Divine Soul with Fiend Fire. An eye for an eye. And yet, Chen Fan ignored him and put his Divine Soul into the fire, making him scream painfully.
Yuan Feng cried and shouted, “Heavenly Lord, please forgive me. I… I have something important to tell you. It’s… It’s about the deity ground…”
However, Chen Fan still ignored him and took out a bronze lantern from his sleeve, throwing Yuan Feng’s Divine Soul inside. That was the “Lantern of Qingyou” that used to belong to Lin He of the Demon Sun Sect. It was a precious treasure of their sect and only a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator would be able to make it. It could be used to trap humans or demons with ease. Yuan Feng’s Divine Soul would be slowly refined in the lantern; it would survive up to ten thousand years.
Then, Chen Fan officially entered the Yuntian Palace, being warmly greeted by Lu Yanxue and the others.
The entire Realm of Kunxu was stirred with the return of the King of Kunxu. Countless cultivators went to visit Chen Fan, including the members of the Chen family. After a decade, Chen Guoguo had grown into a cute, young lady.
“Grandpa disappeared?”
Knowing that Chen Huaian and many others were missing and that almost all of the members of the Chen family outside had died, the present family members were startled, but they eventually accepted it as Chen Fan comforted them.
Many senior members of the Chen family immediately requested to be sent back to Earth so they could rebuild their territory.
Chen Fan agreed with them.
He also wanted the Deities to go back with him and join the North Qiong Sect. After all, the Spirit Qi on Earth was as abundant as in the Realm of Kunxu at the moment. Besides, Chen Fan foresaw a possible disaster in Kunxu.
“What disaster?”
Lu Yanxue was startled.
“I’m not sure.” Chen Fan shook his head.
He was quite worried after hearing about the “deity ground” from people of the Taichu Temple and the Wuji Arena. Grotto-heavens like the Realm of Kunxu were connected to Earth and those deity grounds were underneath them, apparently connected to the Grotto-heavens. If something happened in the deity grounds, the Grotto-heavens would also be affected.
Those Grotto-heavens seemed powerful, but they weren’t as tough as a planet. They could be destroyed easily.
“Prepare for moving. Take the Yuntian Palace as well,” Chen Fan said.
“Hm!”
Lu Yanxue nodded.
The Deities of Kunxu were also frightened. The Taichu Divine Realm had only sent a Heavenly General over and he defeated all the large sects. How could they fight against a Nascent Soul Cultivator? Besides, according to Chen Fan, there was more than one Nascent Soul Cultivator. Countless of them were on their way to Earth from the Star Ocean, including the Divine Generals and Divine Princes, who were much more powerful than Heavenly Generals.
“Leave, we must leave. Let’s go to Earth, to Chu Zhou City. There are arrays formed by Heavenly Lord Chen.”
The entire Realm of Kunxu was stirred.
However, that move was extremely complicated. After all, there were billions of people and countless sects there. The sects only wanted to send their best disciples and books to Earth at first, but at this time, they wanted the Earth Level Deities and ordinary people to also go with them.
How much chaos would be caused with so many Deities of Kunxu returning to Earth?
Chen Fan was then standing on a snowfield in the north of Realm of Kunxu. Snow God Palace was located nearby, but was a thousand miles away from him. Everything there was frozen and there wasn’t any sign of life. There was a world of chaos outside of the snowfield.
Countless dimensional storms surrounded it and even Golden Core Cultivators would be torn to pieces if they fell in.
Chen Fan looked up with golden glitters in his eyes. He saw through layers of dimensional storms and a vast world appeared in front of him.
That world was enveloped in an aura. There were cranes and dragons flying in the sky, and mountains, rivers and buildings everywhere.
When Chen Fan opened his eyes wide—
He saw some black, terrifying Fiend Qi behind the aura. The Fiend Qi filled every corner of the world. Rather than a deity ground, it was more like a “fiend ground!”
Chen Fan lowered his head and said with a hint of confusion in his voice, “There’s a fiend ground deep on Earth? The Fiend Qi there is even purer than that of the Dao Reunion Fiend Lord I killed in my previous life. It carried a powerful energy and is similar to the power of the six demons.”
The Deities trapped a demon there, according to the legends in the Star Ocean. Did they only detain the demon with this vast deity ground? But the Fiend Qi had contaminated the entire world and that demon should have been able to escape!
“No, even though the Fiend Qi is powerful, there’s a hint of Death Qi as well, like the oldest zombies in the underworld. Perhaps, it isn’t a living fiend down the deity ground, but a “Fiend Zombie.”
Chen Fan was shocked.
