Chapter 219 - 219: 218. Xuan Ming (1)
Chen Luoyang didn’t have the slightest intention of letting down his guard when the Devil Buddha lineage suddenly slowed down.
Although he wasn’t sure if Cheng Huyuan and the Devil Buddha lineage came from the same place, he couldn’t rule out this possibility.
In other words, they might know each other.
There might be no friendship between them, and there might even be hatred between them, but there was also a possibility that they could form an alliance.
Now, it seemed like they didn’t have any interactions. Perhaps they were waiting to give Chen Luoyang a big surprise gift.
Therefore, Chen Luoyang ordered the people of the Demon Cult to keep a closer watch on the movements of the Black Lotus Buddha Realm.
Cheng Huyuan was alone, so it was easy to hide his whereabouts. However, the Black Lotus Buddha Realm was a big place, and the slightest movement would make the target obvious.
Of course, there was another possibility..
Chen Luoyang watched as his disciples received his orders and retreated. After pondering for a while, he stood up.
He walked out of the palace hall and arrived at the vast world.
The scenery of Gan Province in the northwest was completely different from the Southern Wilderness Demon Territory.
However, Chen Luoyang didn’t plan on slowly admiring the scenery.
To him, this place was somewhat similar to the Southern Wasteland Demon Territory or the former headquarters of Ancient God Peak.
It was this similarity that he could use now.
That was…Volcano.
There were also a few active volcanoes at the southern foot of the Jincheng Mountain Range in the northwest of Gan Province.
However, the scale was far from Ancient God Peak.
It was roughly similar to Thousand Tides Mountain in Qian Prefecture, and the earth fire activity there was slightly more intense.
Chen Luoyang arrived at the crater of one of the active volcanoes and fell into it.
Below the volcano, there was a huge formation that was slowly rotating.
It was modeled after the Zhurong Burning Sky Array.
However, due to the scarcity of the materials used to set up the array, it was only a simplified version. Its power was far inferior to the Zhurong Burning Sky Array.
But in reality, even if the materials were sufficient, Chen Luoyang wouldn’t really create a complete version of the Zhurong Burning Sky Array.
Because what he needed was a smaller version.
Under the shrunken version of the formation, a green-black light flashed.
This green-black light was constantly resisting the surging earth fire below.
The source of the light was a little boy who was only about three years old.
A rune on the boy’s forehead flashed with light, and an illusory green-black Netherworld Sea appeared.
His big eyes that were also flashing with a greenish black light were no longer as innocent as before. There was only a bone-chilling coldness.
It was Little Su Yuan, who had the Netherworld Sea Curse Seal.
Although the power of the Earth Fire and lava here was far inferior to that of Ancient God Peak, he didn’t have Chen Luoyang’s help and had to fight against the Earth Fire alone.
Currently, he was still weak and had no way to replenish his strength. He could only grit his teeth and endure alone.
Fortunately, he still had a simplified version of the Zhurong Burning Sky Array to help him. Otherwise, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.
However, at the same time, this simplified version of the Zhurong Burning Sky Array also pressed him down, preventing him from escaping. He had no choice but to resist the Earth fire.
Therefore, when Chen Luoyang, this master, came, the little fellow wasn’t happy at all. He didn’t even look at him and only gritted his teeth to endure bitterly.
He couldn’t beat this big guy anyway…
Chen Luoyang smiled at this.
The first layer of the Netherworld Sea Curse Seal, whether activated or not, was akin to having two personalities.
This little fellow was now emotionless, and even her hatred was very weak.
Of course, the killing intent was especially strong, but it was not targeted at a specific person, but at all living beings.
After the Netherworld Sea Curse Seal was sealed, he would return to that adorable child.
Moreover, the two personalities did not share the same memories.
Thus, Chen Luoyang didn’t hesitate at all to exploit the child laborers.
He came to Little Su Yuan’s side and sat cross-legged in the air, looking down at the earth fire lava below.
Looking at the boiling lava, Chen Luoyang suddenly thought of Wang Fei, who had died at his hands.
Wang Fei wanted to destroy Ancient God Peak while he was fighting Saber Emperor Yuwen Feng.
Compared to the significance of destroying the Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters, Wang Fei’s greater goal was to cut off the source of Chen Luoyang’s power at the 14th realm.
There were also volcanoes in other places, but it was hard to find one as large as Ancient God Peak and as violent as the Earth Fire.
After Chen Luoyang understood the situation, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Strictly speaking, Wang Fei’s train of thought was correct.
Although he could defeat Wang Fei at the thirteenth realm, from Wang Fei’s point of view, it was better than facing him at the fourteenth realm, right?
Under normal circumstances, he would need a few more days to fully recover after the battle with the Saber Emperor.
During this period of time, it was really troublesome for Zhurong to replenish its power at the 14th realm.
Unfortunately, he had gained extra spoils of war from his battle with Yuwen Feng.
Under the effect of the “Life” Heavenly Book, he had recovered immediately.
Thus, after Black Sun and Shadow Moon educated Wang Fei, the power of the fourteenth level sent him into despair.
After recovering, Chen Luoyang was able to easily grasp the 14th realm Zhurong.
The Ancient God Peak was indeed useless to him now. He had to thank Wang Fei for blowing it up again and again, which made it easier for him to change his headquarters.
However, the Earth Fire Lava could still be used.
But it was no longer for Zhurong.
It was for the sake of the Mysterious Underworld.
Initially, he had planned to use this little fellow’s Netherworld Sea Curse Seal and the power of the Earth Fire and Lava to cultivate the Mysterious Underworld move of the Divine Martial Demon Fist.
It was only because the Earth Fire at the foot of Ancient God Peak had exploded unexpectedly and was unprecedentedly violent that he had changed to cultivating Zhurong.
Now that everything was back on track, his original plans that had been disrupted could be put on the agenda again.
However, it was not necessarily limited to Ancient God Peak.
Chen Luoyang sat next to the little fellow and slowly extended his hand. His five fingers closed together and formed a fist.
As his fist intent became more and more condensed, an extremely cold aura suddenly appeared in the crater of the volcano.
At first glance, it was similar to the little guy’s Netherworld Sea.
However, Chen Luoyang’s fist intent was slightly weaker in deathly stillness, but it was even stronger in extreme cold.
A desolate and ancient feeling assaulted him, as if an ice age had descended.
When the fist intent was condensed to the extreme, a green-black god appeared in the crater.
It was as if its entire body was made of black ice. It had a human face and a bird body. A green snake hung from each of its ears. Two green snakes were stepping on its bird-like claws.
As soon as this god appeared, not only did the temperature in the crater plummet, but it also instantly quieted down.
Chen Luoyang and the boy seemed to be in a world without sound.
The fiery red flames of the Lava Earth Fire below not only lost its temperature, but even its color seemed to have dimmed significantly.
The power concept of extreme coldness froze all things with form and substance. At the same time, it seemed to want to freeze sound, light, time, and space that had no physical form.
Everything in the world seemed to be heading towards eternal destruction.
Light and heat, life and spirit, all returned to nothingness. In the eternal darkness and coldness, they walked towards the end of the universe.
Divine Martial Devil Fist, Xuanming!
The green-black god was none other than the Winter God, Rain God, Water God, or the God of the North, Xuan Ming.
After the Dark Mysterious Form was condensed, Chen Luoyang’s fist continued to advance. Divine light seemed to flash in the god’s eyes.
It was as if a true Xuanming had descended into the human world.
The earth fire and lava below were extinguished.
Chen Luoyang didn’t unleash his fist force and only condensed his strength. However, this small active volcano had already been turned into an extinct volcano by him.
Little Tian’s eyes shone brightly.
His eyes, which were devoid of emotion, revealed a rare excitement.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten about his fear of Chen Luoyang. Instead, he attempted to use his Netherworld Sea to absorb the cold energy of the Dark Mysterious Form.
However, the Dark Mysterious Form disappeared instantly.
It was Zhurong Xiang who reached out and flicked his head.
Little Tian rolled its eyes and the seal on its forehead disappeared. The Netherworld Sea dissipated and it fell asleep.
“Stupid kid who remembers to eat but not to fight.” Chen Luoyang laughed and scolded.
His movements were extremely practiced.
Whether it was extinguishing the active volcano or sealing the little guy’s Netherworld Sea Curse Seal again.
Speaking of which, he had almost extinguished all the volcanoes in the Golden Mountain Range.
If he wanted to continue, he would probably have to smash open the ground below and create his own volcano.
However, there shouldn’t be a need for that. He had already gotten the hang of this move, Dark Mysterious. He was in a hurry to slowly figure it out.
Chen Luoyang carried Little Su Yuan out of the volcano and returned to his residence.
He calmed down and cultivated quietly.
As for the various administrative matters of the Demon Cult, if he, the Cult Master, needed to make decisions, his subordinates would naturally send them over in time.
For the Ancient Gods Clan, which was currently swallowing the Divine Lands, the most important thing was to stabilize the situation and bring the entire Divine Lands under their control.
This required a long period of time, and he couldn’t be impatient.
At the same time, they also needed capable people to take charge of the situation in various places.
This was an important moment for both the public and private.
It was an important job, but it was also the time to split the cake.
He had once been the protector of the Southern Wasteland Demon Territory, and he had been in charge of the eight branches.
Now that the entire Divine Prefecture had been taken over, each state had established a branch, and each needed a host.
This was not just a matter of enfeoffment, but also a necessary method to govern a place. The country that had been won had to be stable.
As for the protectors of the various branches, it was up to the Sect Master Chen Luoyang to decide.
At this moment, his prestige in the sect had reached its peak.
In the past, the matter of the eight guardians, the young and strong faction, and the elder faction each occupying four seats had already become history.
The Elder Faction was dying out, and Chen Luoyang was basically the only one who reigned supreme inside and outside the Demon Cult.
However, a suitable candidate would be more helpful in increasing efficiency. Thus, Sect Master Chen had been carefully pondering over this issue.
One by one, the candidates were assigned.
He had to consider the local situation and the personal situation of his subordinates.
Sect Master Chen was having a great time…No, he was not playing. He was busy.
During this time, Old Shou returned.
At the same time, he brought back the Sword Emperor’s reply.
The core point of the reply was to accept Chen Luoyang’s letter of challenge!
The Divine Lands was shaken once again. After a month, the Demon Emperor and the Sword Emperor challenged each other again..
