The fourth dimension was full of oddly-shaped broken mountain walls, making it a desolate place. A group of demons, some with wings and some with scales, were standing on top of the mountain cliff. They were all staring at the pitch-black portal above them. Below them were a group of weak humans and small animals with faces filled with fear and despair.
Suddenly, a giant tail swept across the group of humans and animals, flicked them up to the portal with dazzling mana, causing the poor victims to immediately explode once they came into contact with the portal. The fresh blood blanketed the sky and swirled around the portal which was expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye.
“My King, it’s working! The universe of the law in space is trembling. There’s no doubt that this is a portal,” said a demon excitedly.
“Hahaha, yes. This must be the legendary portal to another dimension. Never in a million years would I expect a portal to appear in a desolate world like this,” said a dark man with a pair of elk antlers on his head. The pair of elk antlers were washed in dazzling golden light, making it seem as if the dark man was wearing a majestic crown on his head. “Continue with the sacrificial ritual until the portal’s fully opened. This shall be our clarion call to another dimension!”
‘Oh no! Someone’s trying to open this portal from the other side,’ thought Yang Jing with an ashen face. The third eye on his forehead immediately lit up as it sent a signal to the Area of the Gods.
“What’s happening? Why did Yang Jing send another signal? Is the Chaos under attack again?”
“He’s guarding a portal somewhere. Could someone be trying to cross through the portal?”
“I fear that might be the case. We should go over quickly.”
“There’s a very high chance the other dimension’s making their move. We should be prepared for the worse.”
The group who was beating up Xing Ya stopped what they were doing and went to prepare themselves to take up arms. Both Cultivator Junjun and Xiao Chengfeng flew over to where Yang Jing was as quickly as they could.
Meanwhile, back at the four-part architecture, Li Nianfan was in a little bit of a dilemma. He could not help but frown when he realized the pantry was empty. Little Fox had been nagging him about wanting to have a big feast as a reward for completing her transformation, but how was he supposed to cook up a feast when there were no ingredients to cook with? They had finished all the Dragon meat at the last party and did not have the time to replenish their meat stock. It would not be called a feast if there were no meat dishes, right?
“Brother Li, feast! Feast! Feast!” said Little Fox coquettishly while swinging his arm. She still acted like she was a little fox and Li Nianfan found this to be very hard on him. ‘I’m just an ordinary man. It’s impossible for me to resist the temptation,’ he thought. He swallowed a few times and coughed gently. “Don’t you worry, there’s definitely going to be a feast so why don’t you put on your clothes first.
“However… We’ve run out of meat.” He turned to look at Blackie, who was sunbathing on a rock. Blackie immediately jumped up and in a trembling voice, he asked, “Master, surely you’re not thinking of eating me? I can go hunting instead if you’d like.”
“Don’t be such a coward. Don’t worry, I won’t eat you.” Li Nianfan rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to the chickens in the corner. Immediately, their feathers stiffened at the thought that Li Nianfan might be thinking of turning them into poultry meat. Suddenly, each of them laid three eggs in one go at the same time, as if wanting to remind Li Nianfan of their usefulness in providing eggs for him.
“How can I possibly slaughter the chickens when they’re working so hard to provide eggs for us?” said Li Nianfan with a soft sigh. He was planning to slaughter one of the chickens since there were so many of them but found himself unable to when he thought about how long they had been with him.
‘There must be something I can use in the backyard,’ he thought to himself. ‘Cows, no. Peacocks, no. Bees and butterflies, definitely no. Old turtle, no, too. That leaves the fishes in the pond.”
“Brother Li, let me go on a hunt. I promise I’ll bring back some delicious game meat back,” said Dragin bravely.
Little Fox’s eyes began to twinkle. “Yes! They should go on a hunt. Only then can it be called a feast!”
“What a good idea,” said Li Nianfan with a nod, for who did not like game meat? He was sure this would be an easy task for Dragin. Besides, the taste of demon flesh was a hundred times tastier than ordinary game meat.
“We’ll take off then. Get ready to prepare a feast for us, Brother Li!” said Nanan.
“Alright, be careful out there. If possible, bring back some game meat that we’ve never tried before,” said Li Nianfan with a smile.
“Master, we want to join them, too,” said Qin Manyun and Shi Tuqin.
“Sure,” said Li Nianfan. He was resigned to the fact that this group of people was addicted to fighting demons.
Soon, everyone including Little Fox all went out on a hunt, leaving only Daji and Fire Phoenix to accompany Li Nianfan.
“Now that they’re all gone, how about we take a nap?” asked Li Nianfan.
“A…nap?” Both Daji and Fire Phoenix were a little startled and their cheeks immediately became red, making them seem like blossoming spring flowers. It was obvious that they understood his euphemism.
“As you wish, Master,” they answered softly.
“Hehe, let’s go in quickly then. I’m so tired.” Li Nianfan held both of them in each arm and walked into their room. He needed an outlet for his lust after all that had happened with Little Fox. Why should he force himself to tamp down his burning desire when he had two beautiful wives with him? He had to love the one he chose and choose the one he loved. It was as simple as that.
Meanwhile, back at the entrance of the portal, the bizarre aura was still coming out from it like tidal waves, making the cultivators anxious with the thought of an impending force coming their way. The surrounding space around the portal was distorted as if a door was being opened while the beings from the other side were madly devouring the Spiritual Qi in the Chaos.
Yang Jing and his group of Heavenly Soldiers were doing their best to suppress whatever was happening but to no avail. By then, Cultivator Junjun and the rest of the people from the Heavenly Palace had arrived and were shocked by what they were seeing.
“Yang Jing, what happened?”
“The laws of the universe are trembling, which means someone’s trying to open the portal from the other side.”
“Opening the portal requires sacrificing a million beings. That must be what’s happening on the other side now.”
“The beings from the other dimension must’ve been attracted by the energy here when the expert opened the portal to send the ex-resentful spirits back to their own dimensions. It never crossed anyone’s mind that a portal could appear anywhere else other than in the Chaos Ocean.”
“No matter what, we should try to close the portal.” They attacked the portal with everything they had but it was obvious that it was too late. A being had already appeared from the portal. The being was a man who was completely covered in black feathers. He had a pair of black wings on his back. He was holding an ancient spear and giving off a ferocious aura.
He calmly scanned the crowd like a hawk as if they held no importance for him. “Wow, the Spiritual Qi in this dimension’s so thick. Not to mention the pure laws of the universe. The Wisdom seems to be as good as the beginning of time.” He then turned toward the portal and excitedly shouted, “My King, we’ve definitely come to a very good place! The Spiritual Qi here’s amazing!”
“How impetuous!” shouted Cultivator Junjun sternly. His eyes were glinting dangerously. “Who are you and how dare you come here? Go back to where you came from if you don’t wish to die!” He could feel a murderous aura coming off this demon and for the sake of caution, wanted to avoid a fight if possible.
The demon laughed coldly. “Let me make an official announcement. From this moment on, you’ll all become our slaves. Kneel and surrender if you don’t wish to die.” He had already assessed the power of the people there and found there was nothing to be frightened about.
“Die!” shouted Xiao Chengfeng, his murderous intent targeted at the demon. “Kneel, slap yourself on the face a hundred times, and shout ‘I’m stupid’ while doing that and I might leave your corpse intact.”
“You’ll regret ever saying that to me,” said the Demon. He narrowed his eyes and unfolded his wings, kicking up a windstorm that rushed straight for Xiao Chengfeng. His force was very impressive, and though he did not manifest a huge vision, they could still feel the all-consuming suppressive energy in the air.
Cultivator Junjun and the rest of the group’s faces darkened. They never expected a lone demon to be so cocky. They were just about to attack him when another energy ripple rushed through the air. This time, three figures appeared, and all of them were outstanding Heavenly Realm fighters.
“This must be another dimension. We’re struck gold!”
“A new dimension? It must be the seventh dimension. We’ll definitely be able to become a Wisdom Elite once we’ve pillaged this dimension.”
“Even Heaven favors us!”
“Are these people here to stop us? They seem useless. Oh well, let’s kill them all!”
Without further ado, the three figures rushed toward Cultivator Junjun and the rest of the group.
Behind them, the portal to another dimension seemed to have stabilized, and a horde of demons began to pour forth from the pitch-black hole. They followed the lead of the three demons before them and thus, a battle had broken out.
Yang Jing was trying to fight off a three-headed canine demon. “Where did all these crazy demons come from? They didn’t even hesitate to fight us!” said Yang Jing with his brows furrowed.
“We’ve come from the fourth dimension. Surrender to us and we might even spare your life!”
“Oh, save it and hit me with all you’ve got! Let me show you what real power is!” said Xiao Chengfeng with a cold smile as his Sword Qi swirled around him.
The fierce battle broke out without any warning and the forces it created shook the universe. All the demons from the fourth dimension were skilled fighters. There were at least 10 Heavenly Realm fighters and more than half of the other demons had cultivation levels that were on par with Cultivator Junjun.
What made this information terrifying was that Cultivator Junjun, with the opportunities given by Li Nianfan, had reached a stage of cultivation that made him incomparable to most of the other Heavenly Realm fighters in Chaos. Therefore, the fact that the first wave from the fourth dimension alone contained eight fighters who were stronger than him was a difficult thing to come to terms with.
‘Our dimension sure is popular. First, there were the Eldritchs, and now, even the beings from the fourth dimension have come!’ thought Cultivator Junjun.
Suddenly, the space around them became momentarily distorted again as a giant body slithered out of the portal. It was a giant python with nine different colored heads. Apart from the seven colors of the rainbow, there was also a white head and a black head. It was a terrifying sight to behold and the cold aura it was emitting made everyone involuntarily shudder.
“Don’t delay any further. Quickly kill them all. We need to take over this world as soon as possible. Our King’s waiting for us!” said the black snakehead in a raspy voice.
Goddess Nuwa’s pupils shrank rapidly and her heart was filled with shocking bitterness. She could sense that the giant nine-headed python’s power was on par with Old Dragon, but judging by what it had said, there was a King who was even more powerful than them. He might even be a Wisdom Elite!
She had always thought that the Eldritchs were the most powerful clan in existence, but the beings from the fourth dimension had obviously proved her wrong. She was even beginning to wonder if the Chaos was the weakest dimension out of all seven dimensions.
Each of the python’s nine heads symbolized the five elements, Yin, Yang, and more. meaning to say that each head could conjure different elemental attacks such as fire, ice, lightning, and others. With its arrival, Cultivator Junjun and the rest of the people from the Heavenly Palace found it increasingly harder to fight against them. Most of them had become seriously injured.
“Wow, there’s so much game meat we’ve never eaten before here! We’ve made the right choice by coming here!” said a clear voice suddenly. The familiar voice made the people from the Heavenly Palace rejoice.
“Look, it’s Goddess Nanan!”
“And Goddess Dragin, too! We have a chance at winning now!”
“Goddess Qin Manyun and Goddess Shi Tuqin came as well! The expert sent them here to rescue us!”
Cultivator Junjun heaved a sigh of relief and a smile broke out of his face but soon, his expression transformed into one of puzzlement. ‘Did they just say they’re here for some game meat?’
Dragin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. “Look, Sister Nanan! That python has nine heads, each of them a different color! I wonder what they’ll taste like.”
“That three-headed canine’s a rarity, too. The Master has instructed us to bring back new game meat and it looks like we’ve hit the jackpot!” said Qin Manyum.
Shi Tuqin nodded her head sagely. “Yes, we’re really in for a feast. I’m sure the Master will be delighted with our haul.”
