Chapter 225

In the vast starry sky of the Starlight Middle Chiliocosm, there was an Immortal Palace that radiated bursts of light, laminating trillions of miles away.

“To think my imprint was wiped out!”

Deep in the palace, Bei Chenxing suddenly stood up, and tsunami-like waves of power immediately surged out, sweeping through the endless starry sky.

Some of the stars even straight-up collapsed.

“Didn’t show me respect, wiped out my imprint, stole my Dao Vessel, and imprisoned my son. You’re courting death!”

Bei Chenxing was furious.

Steering the entire palace, he shifted off hurriedly.

In the Immortal Realm Battlefield, the devils from the abyss who saw Immortal Lord Chenguang and the likes launched their attack into the Eastern Region. The place was then shrouded in fog, and they could no longer see what was happening inside, causing them to get more and more impatient.

“Lord Dark Worker Devil King, is it time for us to strike?” Devil King Xue Tao asked a devil with a long head and two horns in front of him.

He was very respectful, and there were even hints of fear.

“Wait!”

The Dark Worker Demon King only responded with one word.

“But… But...” Devil King Xue Tao bravely muttered, “What if they grab ahold of the great encounter first? After all, they have an Immortal Emperor standing behind them.”

The Dark Worker Demon King suddenly turned his head around and looked at him indifferently.

Devil King Xue Tao couldn’t help but shiver as he bowed down, looking extremely feeble but was actually raging with anger within.

Next to him, a young Demon King smiled and said, “Xue Tao, you came from an extremely ordinary planar abyss. Although you stood at the peak over in that world, your world was too low-level, which led to your limited vision and knowledge. That piece of land that fell from the sky seemed as though it was a remnant left after the destruction of the mortal world. Now that it has descended into our realm, why has it not shattered but remained intact?

“You also mentioned that you joined forces with 19 other Devil Kings to destroy the planar world, yet what was the result? 18 of them fell, and you were the only one who escaped!

“You saw it for yourself just now that the young girl who came out was of the Taiyi Immortal King Realm. She slew the ice dragon with little to no effort and even destroyed a Dragon Emperor’s Spiritual Incarnation. Could there be a strong background behind her?

“If there isn’t any, then where did she come from? If she was a native being from the planar world, then she might’ve obtained sky-defying great encounters, which led to her strength skyrocketing. If she had such strength from the beginning, why would the planar world still end up being destroyed? She might have improved a lot in a very short span of time. If she wasn’t a being of the planar world, then this would be quite entertaining. Haha!

“The one who went in just now was the Immortal Lord Chenguang from the Starlight Middle Chiliocosm. He is the son of Immortal Emperor Bei Chen. It’s good that we used him as a scout to test the waters inside. Even if they got a hold of the great encounter, we could still intercept and kill them, no?

“Furthermore, this is the Infinite Realm Battlefield! Who knows how many strong experts lay hidden here? Once we make our moves, we must be victorious with just a single blow. Otherwise, this may lead to other big troubles!

“Don’t simply make a move, but emerge victorious the moment you act.”

The young Demon King preached as he patted Devil King Xue Tao’s shoulder.

“It is as what the lord preached!” Devil King Xue Tao’s back was even more arched.

Right this very moment, the cloud scattered, and the fog dispersed.

The land which was hidden in sight appeared yet again but had already landed on the lake, quickly margining into it and turning into a huge island in the middle.

However, the various peerless experts who went in to attack them had disappeared.

“This…” When Devil King Xue Tao looked over, his pupils shrank as he was extremely horrified. “There were three Immortal Kings who made their moves just now, and all of them failed? In such a short time? There hasn’t been any turmoil over there yet as well?”

“There’s something extremely terrifying in it!” The young Demon King turned solemn.

“Seems troubling!” The Dark Worker Demon King frowned.

“Look at that!” The young Demon King patted Devil King Xue Tao’s shoulder again. “If we went over just now, what would’ve happened? It’s very likely that we would’ve died without knowing how.”

“How is that possible?* Devil King Xue Tao was still puzzled.

“Perhaps, there’s an Emperor-level peerless expert hidden inside!” the young demon king speculated.

It was a very solemn guess. Emperor-level?

The Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor were of both emperor-level, representing the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm. They were the real giants of the era that could crush the voids, a character that was at the level of the ancestors.

…

Standing on Chuyang Peak, Jiang Ming finished cooking the dragon liver, glanced at Devil King Xue Tao and the others who were hidden at a far distance, and muttered, “What a surprise that they didn’t force their way in here.”

“Senior Brother, shall I go take them down?” Linglong asked.

Jiang Ming pondered for a while, then nodded and said, “Alright then! Capture Devil King Xue Tao and let him fully experience the tortures. This devil has done great sins. Let him regret ever coming into this world and accompany Immortal Lord Chenguang. Don’t go with your true self just in case. Also, let ‘True Illusion’ go out and inquire a little more about the specific situation here.”

Linglong followed through.

This time, five of her extraordinarily powerful clones, namely Phoenix, Time, Space, Life-and-Death, and Karma, were sent out.

Whether it was Space or Time, all of them were able to fight against an opponent of a higher realm than they were. When they joined hands, they were practically invincible.

With the addition of the Phoenix clone who was in the Taiyi Realm, it should be no problem for them to deal with this demonic army that only had four Demon Kings.

All her clones went off their tasks in the blink of an eye.

Linglong took out the Moon Essence Wheel and handed it over to Jiang Ming. “Senior Brother, if you refine this Great Overarching Dao Vessel, your combat power will definitely increase greatly.”

“You can keep it!” Jing Ming smiled and said, “I have quite a few Great Overarching Dao Vessels myself. Moreover, this level of Immortal Artifacts is of little use to me now.”

It really was not a big deal.

“Senior Brother, how strong have you become?” Linglong was taken aback by his reply.

“It’s not a problem to deal with the ordinary Great Overarching Golden Immortal,” Jiang Ming replied as he extracted the dragon marrow and prepared to cook porridge. “If it’s on our territory, I might even be able to compete with a Quasi-Sage.”

Hiss…

Linglong took in a breath of cold air. She was shocked at Jiang Ming’s ability to compete with a Quasi-Sage! She wondered whether that meant he now stood on the top of the heavens and had become a real giant of all ages? A supreme venerate?

“Senior Brother, you are so awesome!” Linglong was amazed.

“You should say, Senior Brother, you’re so ‘potent’,” Jiang Ming whispered.

Linglong rolled her eyes, stretched her hands like claws, and grabbed onto his lifeline.

Two figures seemed to have come over from the sky at that very moment.

One was Chang Yiming, while the other was Xi Yao.

They sensed the tremor under their feet just now and felt that they were no longer falling. The sky seemed to have become stable, and they were now surrounded by seawater. Knowing that they had landed and taken root, they couldn’t help but come over to see the two.

Linglong squeezed her little hand fiercely before retracting her hand and standing with her hands behind her back as if nothing had happened.

“Jiang Ming, is the place stable now?” Chang Yiming couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s stable now!” Jiang Ming replied with a smile and continued. “It’ll be fine from now on. Just cultivate in peace and reach the Immortal Realm as soon as you can!”

“It’ll be fine from now on?” Chang Yiming was stunned, and his eyes turned slightly reddish.

He understood that although this sentence seemed like a promise, it was, in fact, brimming with confidence. It would be definitely fine If Jiang Ming said so. Besides, he was excited about the stability.

Having experienced the Great Eastern War, the sect’s calamity, the demon invasion, the encirclement and suppression of the Sacred Lands, the descent of Immortal beings, and also the world being destroyed, his small heart was almost overwhelmed.

Fortunately, it seemed that he could now be completely relieved.

“Then I’m going to go get myself a whole house of wives!” Chang Yiming smiled.

“Why are you thinking of marrying now?” Jiang Ming asked strangely. “You’re now the head disciple anyway. It’s not even a problem if you want to take over the position of First Seat now. Getting married is but only a matter of sentences!”

“Hey, I used to be a precarious person and didn’t have a clear view of my future. That was why I decided to focus on cultivation and growing quietly, not delaying other people’s growth. Now that you are able to even hold up the sky and also looking to become an Immortal soon. Seeing that there seem to be no worries at all, I will naturally have to enjoy my life now!” Chang Yiming smiled. “After all, you are even my matchmaker, Brother Jiang!”

“To hell with you!” Jiang Ming replied. “Do you have a target already?”

Chang Yiming was a little awkward due to the question.

“It can’t be her!” Jiang Ming was shocked.

“Hehe! I knew I couldn’t hide it from you!” Chang Yiming scratched his head and continued. “She used to be my Junior Sister but was arranged to be by my side after that incident. As we got to know each other more, we started to have feelings for each other. Now that the Jiuyang Sect is the strongest of all, there are no taboos like what we used to have.”

“Senior Sister Momo is actually a great lady. She merely couldn’t help herself in the past,” Jiang Ming said with a smile.

He had a very good impression of that particular Senior Sister from Jiaoyang Peak.

It was unfortunate that she was a spy arranged by the Bishui Sect.

When her identity was exposed, she was protected by First Seat Yinyue, but it was inevitable that people were going to make things difficult for her. Under Jiang Ming’s suggestion, Chang Yiming had brought her to his side to protect her.

“Since you’re ready to get married, bring her over to conduct her cultivation here then,” Jiang Ming added.

“Momo will be very happy to hear this!” Chang Yiming’s face was brimming with gratitude. “I’ll go pick her up now!”

“Just go. It just so happens that the dragon feast that I’m preparing over here is almost ready!” Jiang Ming sighed as he lamented, “I was taken care of by Senior Sister Momo a lot when I first got here.”

Linglong nodded slightly, and Chang Yiming left happily to get Momo.

“He is?” When Xi Yao asked and pointed at Immortal Lord Chenguang, who was pinned mid-air, Linglong explained the whole ordeal.

“Immortal Lord? With an Immoral Emperor behind him?” Xi Yao was shocked and couldn’t help laughing bitterly. “I can’t ask what you two are doing from now on. This heart of mine can’t stand it.”

“Let the Senior Brother help you then. He’ll make you an Immortal in a day’s time, if not, two. It’s such a simple matter!” Linglong put her arms around Xi Yao’s shoulder, “It’s just too slow to cultivate on your own!”

“Linglong, you’re shameless!” Xi Yao was annoyed and embarrassed. “Let me go, you rascal!”

“Hehe! How come I’m the rascal now? What I just said was the truth. Senior Brother has a way of sharing his own insights. Tell you what, with his level of cultivation realm, he’ll be able to let you realize the Immortal Dao in just minutes!” Linglong shook Xi Yao’s shoulder and continued. “Besides, didn’t you plan to retreat into cultivation to try breaking into the Immortal realm? How long has it been, and you are already out of your retreat? If you continue with such half-hearted cultivation, how long will it take for you to become an Immortal? Maybe by the time you become an Immortal, you might already be an old woman. By that time, if the Senior Brother doesn’t pay attention and uses a little more force on you, you’ll explode!”

Jiang Ming’s mouth twitched as he listened to Linglong’s monologue. Her words were really pleasant to the ear, but she seemed to be also looking for a beating.

While he was busy cooking, his ears were focusing on their conversation and were paying attention to Junior Sister’s clones at the same time. Multitasking was indeed difficult.

Xi Yao was getting shyer and shyer that her red blushed face seemed as though she was going to bleed out. She couldn’t help screaming, “Linglong… I…I…I want to—”

“What do you want?” Linglong smiled. “You still want to hit me?”

“I can’t beat you, so I’ll bite you!”

She opened her mouth wide and bit at Linglong’s arm while Linglong laughed out loud and stepped back.

“Hmph!” Xi Yao stomped her feet angrily and secretly took a glance at Jiang Ming.

Just as she was about to leave, Linglong grabbed onto her hands and pulled her over onto the stool beside her. “The dragon banquet later will be of a real Golden Immortal Realm dragon. After being cooked by Senior Brother, it won’t cause you to explode when you eat them. However, it will be like an elixir that can improve your physique and raise your cultivation, comparable to a great recreation. Don’t you want to enjoy it?”

Linglong sat peacefully by the side as she emphasized, “A Golden Immortal Realm true dragon, prepared by Senior Brother himself. Therefore, once you miss this, there won’t be a next time!”

Xi Yao hesitated upon hearing this.

…

Far away, a great battle had already begun.

Both Time and Space Junior Sisters joined forces and evoked a great Time and Space Imprisonment technique. Karma Junior Sister evoked a curse technique, weakening the power of several Demon Kings at the same time. Life-and-Death Junior Sister broke out with her peerless fighting power. In addition to Phoenix Junior Sister launching her attacks, the Dark Worker Demon King and the likes were buried just like that.

It did not take long before they returned to Chuyang Peak, having captured Devil King Xue Tao.

“You have so many clones and are all so powerful…” Xi Yao couldn’t help stuttering when she saw the few Junior Sisters. A strange thought suddenly popped in her mind, and she couldn’t help but blurt out, “Can brother Jiang even satisfy you?”

Once the words were out, she was dumbfounded by what she had just said, and her face flushed red. Embarrassed by herself, she lowered her head and was eager to find a place to hide herself.

“Why don’t you come and have a look tonight?” Linglong whispered in her ears.

Xi Yao quickly covered her ears.

Jiang Ming’s ear twitched as he listened to their conversation.

He thought it was a great idea to have Xi Yao watching from the side because it would definitely be exciting.

“Senior Brother, what do we do with him?” Phoenix Junior Sister pinned Devil King Xue Tao in mid-air, restraining him with the power of order and making it difficult to move one bit.

As Jiang Ming looked over, he said, “Xue Tao, here we meet again!”

“Do we know each other?” Devil King Xue Tao’s voice was extremely hoarse.

Now that he understood how dire and hopeless his situation was, he became reckless.

“I was the one who killed your last bloodline clone,” Jiang Ming replied. “Tell me. What’s the real name of that Devil Emperor behind you?”

“Haha! Do you think I would tell you?” Devil King Xue Tao sneered. “Just you wait! You and the rest of your people will definitely end up worse than I am.”

Jiang Ming shook his head and smiled. “I’m but an ordinary person from the planar world, and you are a high-ranking Devil King. However, what was the outcome? All of your plots and plans ended up in failure, and even you are imprisoned in front of me. As for the Devil Emperor? You think his ending will be any better than yours?”

Devil King Xue Tao fell silent and paused for a moment before faintly asking, “Are you really born of this world?”

“You’re right!”

“But how can you be this strong? Did you obtain the great encounters of your world?”

“Right again!”

“What kind of great encounter was it?”

“A very ordinary one!” Jiang Ming replied. “Just something from the ruins of an ancient battlefield.”

“Impossible! If it was just from the ruins of an ancient battlefield, how is it possible for you to grow to such a level in this short period of time?” Devil King Xue Tao didn’t believe him. He wanted to struggle and break free but couldn’t move at all.

Jiang Ming didn’t answer him but asked indifferently, “I’ll give you one last chance. What’s the real name of that Devil Emperor behind you?”

“You really want to know? Haha! I won’t tell you!” Devil King Xue Tao sneered. However, when he glanced around and saw Immortal Lord Chenguang with his face distorted, mouth wide open with no voice coming out of it, he couldn’t help but tremble and started to hesitate.

“You won’t tell me? So be it. It makes no difference to me.” Jiang Ming raised his hands, destroying his body, shattering his primal spirit, and leaving only a mere remnant of his soul.

Xue Tao remained in his human form, unable to move one bit.

As Jiang Ming snapped his finger, pitch-black flames started to ignite below Xue Tao’s feet as he began to refine him.

Devil King Xue Tao immediately screeched in pain as his body twisted around due to the excruciating torment. However, not a sound came out of his mouth because Jiang Ming had obviously sealed him off.

“Because of you, my world was destroyed.” Jiang Ming’s voice was chilly. “That’s why I’ll let you stay this way forever, just existing like this!”

Xi Yao, who stood next to him, couldn’t help shivering.

At that very moment, Chang Yiming could be seen flying over with a gentle- and quiet-looking girl as they landed beside him.

“No introductions needed already, right?” Chang Yiming seemed a little embarrassed.

“Senior Sister Momo!” Jiang Ming greeted her with a smile.

“Head Disciple Jiang!” Momo smiled with a very calm demeanor. It was as if she had been enlightened after going through a life-and-death crisis, indifferently peaceful toward people and things. “Thank you for your honest words that time and also for secretly helping me.”

“There is no right or wrong for the past, but the past is now behind us.” Jiang Ming looked at Momo, and his heart still felt somewhat complicated.

In fact, Senior Sister Momo had been very close with him at the very beginning.

She would even bring him delicious food up the mountains from time to time. It was just a pity that he secretly discovered the problem with her identity and later manipulated her to reveal herself. Only then was Momo’s status as a disciple revoked, and she was taken away by Chang Yiming to be monitored.

“Yes, the past is finally behind us.” Momo also sighed slightly and continued. “Who would have thought that Head Disciple Jiang, who was so mediocre at the beginning, would actually soar into the sky one day, standing on top of the clouds.”

“Enough about this. Sit down. The all dragon banquet will be ready soon!”

“I guess I’m going to have a feast then!” Momo softly smiled.

Linglong walked over with a slightly complicated expression on her face as she reminisced about the past.

Just as Jiang Ming was about to continue getting busy with the preparations, he suddenly raised his head and slightly frowned.

He sensed the prayer from the Fifth Immortal Moon and also noticed an incomparably powerful spiritual sense that had locked on onto the Eastern Region.

‘Reincarnation Hall!

‘Immortal Emperor Bei Chen?’

Jiang Ming’s eyes slowly narrowed as he thought of the names.

‘The real troubles are coming,’ Jiang Ming thought.
