Jiang Chen didn’t think it was a sure loss. They still had a chance even though they were facing great odds.
The first step they needed to take was to discover where the Demon Fetus was.
Encouraged by Jiang Chen, Ye Qiu pulled himself together. He said, “Exactly! We’ve been evolving for millions of years. How could it be possible that we would be eliminated in a single day?”
Since they hadn’t understood the situation well, the fighting force that’d been sent to the Alien Battlefield was only a small fraction of that of the entire Great World.
“If the Demons want to fight us, we’ll fight! Tell everyone to come and reinforce us,” Ye Qiu gave the orders.
Then, looking toward Jiang Chen, he said, “Now, let’s go and find the Demon Fetus.”
“No. You go. I can’t go with you,” said Jiang Chen.
“What?”
This was way beyond Ye Qiu’s expectations. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Chen why, he felt all kinds of strong energies coming toward them from every direction.
There were evil energies, Demon energies, and killing energies.
“They are coming for you, which means you’re the greatest threat! We swear to god that we will ensure your safety,” Ye Qiu said resolutely.
“I wouldn’t let you leave if I were the true body. But I’m not. It’s not necessary to sacrifice you all for a practicing body. Okay?” said Jiang Chen.
“I see.” Not until then did Ye Qiu tumble to the fact that this Jiang Chen was a practicing body. He’d known that Jiang Chen had practicing bodies.
“I’ll meet you if I find out anything. But right now, focus on our first goal.”
“Okay. We won’t let you down,” Ye Qiu promised him.
He’d started to treat Jiang Chen with respect and admiration without even realizing it.
…..
At this point, the practicing body and the Demon Slayers Palace’s team split up. Jiang Chen was going to meet his true body.
It was the true body that had the eight groups of spiritual beings. If the Blood Race and the Demons had the nerve to chase him, he would make them taste what pain was like.
Channels that led to the Alien Battlefield were everywhere in the Three Lower Realms. However, where one would show up in the end would depend on which world he had come from.
The practicing body came from the Realm of True Force, while the true body was from the Nine Heavens.
When the practicing body arrived at the teleportation point in the Realm of Milky, a figure suddenly stopped him.
It was neither a member of the Blood Race nor a Demon. It was Xiao Hongxue. He was alone, extremely aggressive, his eyes cold.
He was not a Blood Slave. It was because of private grudges that he was trying to pick a fight with Jiang Chen.
He was a Venerable Sovereign, and he had been forced to apologize to Jiang Chen in front of so many people. Xiao Hongxue regarded it as the biggest shame he’d ever experienced in his entire life.
To wash the shame off, he had to kill Jiang Chen. This time he was not coming for the bronze cauldron. The only thing on his mind was to kill Jiang Chen.
“Come on. Don’t you know the current situation? The crucial life-and-death moment is coming. And you are here, trying to fight me?”
Jiang Chen was really pissed, but it was not because Xiao Hongxue intended to kill him, but because the latter was so indiscreet.
“Three days and three nights. Isn’t that what you said?” Xiao Hongxue smiled disdainfully.
He continued, “Not all of the elites of the three forces have been sent. Not to mention the Dragons and the Monsters haven’t arrived. Once the news spreads, countless strong people will come. They’ll find the Demon Fetus. There isn’t anything to be afraid of.”
Skillful ones are bold. Xiao Hongxue had the strength of a Venerable Sovereign. He thought he could bring the universe under control. The Demons were only some useless things who had achieved a great fame. It would be only a matter of time before they were eliminated.
“No wonder the Blood Race and the Demons have achieved so many things. It’s because even a moron like you can be a vice leader of the three forces,” Jiang Chen spoke, full of disdain.
“Swear as much as you want. The more you swear, the greater the pain you will suffer until your death,” Xiao Hongxue squinted at Jiang Chen as he spoke. He was extremely angry, but he looked super-calm.
“Oh?” Xiao Hongxue detected something as soon as he’d finished speaking.
Jiang Chen had also noticed that the Blood Slaves had caught up with them.
They were watching Jiang Chen facing Xiao Hongxue from the dark. They would rather avoid a fight if it was possible.
“Annoying flies!” To their surprise, Xiao Hongxue didn’t attack Jiang Chen. Instead, he attacked the Blood Slaves of the Nether World School.
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up, although he knew it was because Xiao Hongxue didn’t want himself to be taken advantage of. Xiao Hongxue wanted to kill him without any disturbances.
“The Great Method of Void!” Jiang Chen seized his chance to exert a unique theurgy. He disappeared.
“Jiang Chen, you have nowhere to run!” Jiang Chen could even hear Xiao Hongxue’s voice in the void.
Jiang Chen didn’t answer. He appeared thousands of miles away after traveling through the void.
…..
He turned pale just as he was about to move off. Then he hid in the bronze cauldron as quickly as possible.
DONG! The bronze cauldron received a heavy punch and was sent flying. Jiang Chen had avoided the fatal attack, but he’d gotten a severe shock. The bronze cauldron moved in an arc. Then it steadied itself in the air.
Jiang Chen got to his feet in the bronze cauldron. He saw a shadow appear where the blow exchange had happened.
“Alien Ghost?” he asked immediately, but soon he found he was wrong. Because Alien Ghosts couldn’t speak, but this shadow spoke in a human language, “Jiang Chen, we’ve finally met.”
“If I’m not guessing wrong, you are a Yama from the Nether World School?” Jiang Chen guessed.
“Yeah. I can tell you more if you want to know. All of the ten Yamas are as strong as Venerable Sovereigns,” the shadow said complacently.
“Are you telling me this because you think I will die?”
“No. You are just a practicing body. You can’t be killed.”
The shadow’s answer surprised Jiang Chen. He had no idea how his rival had seen through his disguise.
“The Nether World School won’t make the same mistake twice. Your practicing bodies and you are no secret for us anymore.” The shadow enjoyed his reaction a lot.
“Then why didn’t you go to find my true body directly? Why bother me?” Jiang Chen still couldn’t believe it.
“Because of the cauldron. With that thing, the chance to kill you is less than 10 percent.”
“You should know if the practicing body has the cauldron, the chance for you to kill me is still less than 10 percent.”
“No. I mean less than 10 percent in a normal case, but it’s not very wise for you to come to the Alien Battlefield,” said the shadow.
Jiang Chen tried to figure out his strength. He wasn’t sure whether what the rival had said was true.
“But if I hadn’t come, wouldn’t your plan have succeeded?”
“Ha, ha, ha, you think you can help since you are here?”
The shadow burst out laughing, as if he had heard some good joke. “Jiang Chen, you are really smart. You are too smart. Elbowed out by those races, you still managed to find out about our plan. This makes me proud that we’ve chosen you to be our target.”
“Oh?” Jiang Chen didn’t know what he meant.
“You already drew the three great forces’ attention as soon as you broke the curse of the divine body. With your potential and your talent, it’s easy to make you into a God of War. However, haven’t you found that it’s very difficult to go anywhere, that there is hostility against you everywhere since you arrived in the Three Upper Realms?” the shadow asked.
“You mean it’s you who have made those races elbow me out?”
If he hadn’t witnessed the betrayal of the Demon Slayers Palace’s Elder, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have believed that the Nether World School could’ve done such a thing.
But at the moment, he had to believe it.
“It’s more than that. We at the Nether World School were behind a great part of the things that have happened to you. Many of your enemies have been incited by us. Think about it. With your ability, if you were in Xiao Hongxue’s position, it would be a great disaster for us.”
