“He’s dead?!”
“The Chen Clan Leader is dead?!”
Ao Yue could hardly believe what just happened.
After all, the Chen Clan Leader was a Gilded Immortal Leader who ruled unchallenged in the Northlands. He could do anything as he pleased, and no one had ever dared to go against him.
Yet now, he was dead, which felt surreal to Ao Yue.
However, that was the reality!
At that moment, Ao Yue felt a sense of delight and relief that he had never felt before. Pledging allegiance to the Ghost Emperor was the best decision he had ever made!
Other than Ao Yue, the Demonic Dao sky-prides were also stunned and speechless.
What had they just witnessed?
‘Did Chu Kuangren casually summon a Gilded Immortal level Underworld General?’
‘Isn’t the Fengdu Underworld City in shattered fragments?’
‘How does it still possess such a powerful army?’
They were puzzled, but unbeknownst to them, that Underworld General was just one of the soldiers in the Million Strong Underworld Army, which Chu Kuangren obtained from the Fantasy Roulette.
The remaining forces were left to stand guard over Fengdu Underworld City.
Fu Yin and Shi Ying were rushing from afar when they managed to catch Chu Kuangren summon the Underworld General and kill the Gilded Immortal.
“I can’t believe he has that technique!”
Fu Yin was shocked. ‘Summoning a Gilded Immortal at will just like that… Is that the only one he has under his command, or are there more of them?’
She found that her Master was getting more and more unpredictable.
As for Shi Ying, she did not bother to think about all that and merely stared at Chu Kuangren with immense admiration. She felt that anything would be possible if Chu Kuangren was the one who did it.
“As expected of the Chief. There’s really nothing he can’t do out there.”
It was the pure and simple mindset of a fangirl.
Meanwhile, after ordering his Underworld General to kill the Chen Clan Leader, Chu Kuangren did not order him to attack and kill the Demonic Dao sky-prides.
That was because the Underworld General was a Gilded Immortal. Hence, he was restricted by a karmic effect and was not allowed to attack the Heavenly Champions.
Even so, if Chu Kuangren were to insist, the Underworld General would not hesitate to take action, even if it meant he would be affected by the laws of karma.
However, Chu Kuangren did not do that. He just simply looked at the Demonic Dao sky-prides.
“Oh f*ck!”
Frightened, Chi Yue and the other Demonic Dao sky-prides quickly turned and attempted to flee.
However, by then, they were already enshrouded within Chu Kuangren’s Divine Samsara Underworld.
“Now die!”
Chu Kuangren raised his hand and was about to unleash his attack.
“Wait, wait! Chu Kuangren, I have a secret to tell you! This secret will surely be useful to you!”
At that moment, Chi Yue yelled.
Upon hearing him, the samsara energy within Chu Kuangren’s Divine Samsara Underworld stopped surging. Then, Chu Kuangren said with intrigue, “Oh, a secret, huh? Tell me about it, and I shall judge whether it’s worth your life!”
After that, the countless dead souls charged forth, killing every Demonic Dao sky-pride other than Chi Yue!
Seeing the miserable death of his comrades, cold sweat started trickling from Chi Yue’s forehead. However, he did not dare to resist as he stood still.
‘This guy is a devil! He’s more demonic than any of us Demonic Dao cultivators!’ Chi Yue screamed internally. He was more frightened of Chu Kuangren now than ever.
“This secret is related to the Demonic Forefather Chi You. I learned from one of the Demonic Dao scriptures that the Demonic Forefather Chi You’s inheritance is somewhere on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet!”
“Oh, is that so?”
Chu Kuangren’s interest was piqued. After all, the Demonic Forefather Chi You was one of the most well-known individuals of ancient Immortal times.
It was said that he once fought against Xuanyuan for the title of Human Emperor. However, he failed in the end and went down the path of the Demonic Dao. He was later known as a Demonic Forefather and one of the strongest beings in the Demonic Dao who then established the Chiyou Tribe!
Apparently, he was even on par with Luo Hou, the first Demonic Forefather!
Both were Embodier Realm cultivators!
“Since you know that the Demonic Forefather’s inheritance is on this planet, do you know its approximate region?”
“I don’t know the specific direction, but I have an item that once belonged to the Demonic Forefather. You can use this item to track the Demonic Forefather’s aura.”
Chi Yue took out a piece of metal.
Faint mysterious purple demonic patterns were carved on that piece of metal, and it emanated a surge of chilling demonic qi.
“I obtained this piece of metal through an Opportunity of Fortune. It’s said to be related to the Demonic Forefather himself, so with this item, you can surely find the location of Luo Hou’s inheritance,” said Chi Yue as he handed that piece of metal to Chu Kuangren.
“Interesting. However, if that’s all you’ve got, I’m afraid it’s still not enough to keep you alive. Do you still have any secrets to tell?” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Chi Yue’s face instantly turned pale. His mind frantically scanned through everything he knew, seeking to find any valuable information that could be exchanged for his survival.
Soon, his eyes lit up at the thought of something. “Yes, there’s one more. It’s about Shi Tianxuan.”
“Out with it.”
“This is about Shi Tianxuan of the Sky Demon Tribe. He has won the acknowledgment of the Godkiller Spear and obtained a portion of Demonic Forefather Luo Hou’s inheritance. I reckon he’s almost as powerful as you are!”
“Oh, interesting.”
In act, that information was more interesting than Chi You’s inheritance.
Both the Godkiller Spear and the Black Annihilation Lotus were Innate Source Supreme Treasures that used to belong to Demonic Forefather Luo Hou. They were incredibly powerful items that even Arch Gilded Immortals would kill to get their hands on them.
The Black Annihilation Lotus was already in Chu Kuangren’s possession.
Now that even the Godkiller Spear had appeared, Chu Kuangren would certainly not mind reuniting Demonic Forefather’s two Innate Treasures.
“Shi Tianxuan, huh? The Demonic Dao Heavenly Champion who fled at the first sight of me has finally gotten stronger. Hm, I’ll be looking forward to meeting him then.”
Chu Kuangren then pointed out a sword hand sign at Chi Yue!
“No!”
Chi Yue’s eyes widened in fear as he thought that Chu Kuangren was going to kill him.
An endless sword aura enveloped and immobilized him.
The moment Chu Kuangren’s attack landed on him, countless sword qi burst forth and entered his body. However, he was not injured at all!
“W-What have you done to me?”
“Since you gave me two valuable secrets today, I shall allow you to live for the time being. Now leave before I change my mind,” said Chu Kuangren calmly.
‘For the time being? What does he mean?’
Chi Yue was a little confused, but having been spared his life, he turned into a ray of light and fled into the distance.
At that moment, he only had one thought in his mind.
‘I must find Shi Tianxuan!’
‘I must find the Demonic Dao’s strongest sky-pride. He’s the only one who can defeat Chu Kuangren and avenge the deaths of my comrades!’
“Master, are you letting him go just like that?”
Fu Yin walked up to Chu Kuangren and asked, feeling puzzled by what he did.
“There’s no point killing a Demonic Dao scum like him at the moment. Besides, I still need him to send a message.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
‘Send a message?’
At that, Fu Yin was more puzzled. She did not have the slightest idea what he meant.
Meanwhile, the Chen clan disciples were either dead or heavily injured due to the onslaught of dead souls.
The great Chen clan of the Northlands was no more.
Many forces and orthodoxies in the Northland soon noticed what was happening, so they all came to investigate the situation, only to find themselves shocked.
“Who is that young man? How can he even control so many dead souls?!”
“By the heavens, he’s just a True Immortal. How did he wipe out the whole Chen clan?”
“This aura… He must be a sky-pride from the outside world. To think there’s someone as terrifying as him among them!”
After the fall of the Chen Clan, Chu Kuangren looked at Ao Yue and said, “From this day onward, you shall be stationed at the Fengdu Underworld City in the Underworld. Report to Bai Mei and listen to her orders. She’ll find something for you to do there.”
“Understood, Ghost Emperor.”
Ao Yue did not dare to disobey.
After that, Chu Kuangren waved his sleeves, releasing countless Daoist patterns that intertwined in the sky, and a tremendous burst of Yin qi erupted.
In the void, the towering Gate of Hell appeared out of nowhere!
The sight of it shocked the surrounding cultivators.
“T-That’s the Gate of Hell!”
“He’s the Ghost Emperor!”
After sending all the dead souls into the Underworld, Chu Kuangren looked at the piece of metal in his hand with a grin. “Chi You’s inheritance, huh? I shall go check it out then.”
