Chapter 971: Gradually Clarifying

t me to meet him." Schen Xiang complained inwardly.Schen Xiang watched from a distance. He really wanted to go and see Liu Meng’er, but it wasn't the right time now."Meng’er, you're here too Why doesn...Chapter 971: Gradual Understanding

Zi Yue, the sect master, hovered in mid-air with purple killing light emanating from his eyes. Upon closer inspection, one could see that he was slowly descending.

"Duan Chong, it seems like you were lucky to escape your misfortune and have even learned the Infernal Abyss Trap. Well, today I’ll take you both down along with that punk!

The sect master’s feet were surrounded by two balls of purple light, as if he was stepping on two purple orbs.

"Break!"

Without continuing to resist the suction force of the Infernal Abyss Trap, Zi Yue rapidly descended. The two purple light balls beneath his feet collided with the ground intensely, causing the earth to quiver violently. The previously engulfed area by purple fire beasts suddenly split open, emitting purple light from the ground as if there was going to be a large amount of purple magma shooting out.

The ground around Zi Yue, extending a thousand feet away, cracked apart. Purple light shot out from the cracks as thousands of beasts roared from beneath the ground, causing all the fragmented lands to shatter. One by one, fierce purple fire beasts emerged from the ground and charged forward without any obstacles.

Shen Xiang was astonished from afar. This sect master’s strength was too formidable, surpassing those he had seen before like the Wind Family Sect Master and Flying Immortal Pavilion Sect Master, who were all ancient forces’ leaders. He felt that this sect master might even surpass Zhao Yixuan, possibly on par with theDemon Empress!

The sect master looked quite young, suggesting that he was someone who had rapidly advanced in cultivation. Why did such a character appear here Such individuals should have already ascended long ago, and he was also very familiar with Duan Chong. "I’m not just in control of the Infernal Abyss Trap!" Duan Chong’s face was grave, and Shen Xiang immediately prepared mentally when he saw his serious expression. This old man who was usually lazy could be very powerful when taking him seriously. The sect master’s face was riddled with veins as he unleashed a wave of his qi. His aged body suddenly swelled, looking terrifyingly powerful. The expanded body burst through the clothes, revealing his muscles. The earth behind him also cracked apart as fiery red-eyed double-headed dragons roared out from the cracks, spewing true black evil energy.

In a blink of an eye, thousands of massive dragons appeared behind Duan Chong. Their bulky bodies were covered in deep black scales, emitting evil energy everywhere. They turned out to be double-headed dragons tangled together, forming a wall of dragon bodies that seemed unstoppable.

"Why don’t you hurry up and leave This level of battle would affect you too!" Su Meiyao shouted. "This old guy is really powerful!" Shen Xiang exclaimed and immediately started running. At the same time, the thousand evil dragons headed towards the mass of purple fire beasts dancing around them. The moment they collided, it felt like heaven and hell were about to be destroyed. Shen Xiang quickly retreated from the battlefield. Although he couldn’t see what was happening behind him, he could sense the terror and vibrations coming from there, indicating that their battle had only just begun.

Shen Xiang guessed, "Should all these techniques be modifications of the Heaven and Earth Killing Arts' Beast Killing Techniques" Although he didn’t have a Beast Killing Technique, the descriptions were similar to those in the Earth-Killing Arts.

"That’s likely. The Beast Killing Techniques are easier to learn and are the most proficient in, as he was originally a lion himself. These ancient forces’ ancestors were all under the service of Ten Heaven Emperor, who definitely passed down modified Heaven and Earth Killing Arts to them." Liu Xueyi said, "I feel as though our Imperial Dragon Clan’s techniques have shadows of the Heaven and Earth Killing Arts within them."

Shen Xiang was involved in something big, and he didn’t expect the sect master of Purple Moon Domain to be such a powerful individual. He decided not to seek out Gu Dongchen and company for fear of having someone waiting for him, so he wandered aimlessly in Heaven Thunder Domain.

He wonders if the name Heaven Thunder Domain was given by those ancient forces, implying that this place has been called so for a long time. Duan San Chang’s grandfather, Duan Chong, learned the Infernal Abyss Trap and the Infernal Evil Dragon techniques after staying in this place for such a long time.

White Tiger also mentioned that this place was where a mysterious and powerful force set a trap for Ten Heaven Emperor back then, marking the beginning of his decline.

Shen Xiang wandered aimlessly for three days, only encountering fierce beasts without any other discoveries.

When the sky just started to lighten, Shen Xiang slept on a tree. Upon jumping down, he saw Duan Chong smiling at him.

Shen Xiang was startled, regaining his composure and asking, "Senior, did you finish your battle" "We fought evenly, but I still have a chance of winning. Who would’ve known that a ghostly holy man who led a group of inhuman and non-ghost creatures suddenly appeared, trying to kill us. The leader was strong, so we had no choice but to end the battle and deal with those creatures. Then our battle ended like that."

"Senior, don’t you know anything about the ghostly holy man who came here"

"I don’t know, but I do know about the Demon King. However, he’s been destroyed by someone else, and his demon army is now in chaos. There are even several demon kings competing for power, resulting in multiple Demon Kings!" Duan Chong was helpless. "These demons are not much of a threat, whereas the newly appeared ghostly holy man is more powerful. This Heaven Thunder Domain allows outsiders to enter easily, suggesting there’s something fishy going on."

"They won’t come after us, will they" Shen Xiang was worried about the ghostly holy man.

"What’s to worry If they do come, I can give you enough time to escape." Duan Chong patted Shen Xiang’s shoulder and smiled, "You’ve acquired the complete Earth-Killing Arts. Your future is limitless! The Infernal Kill Technique was adapted from the Earth-Killing Arts, while the Purple Moon Beast Killing Technique originates from the Beast Killing Techniques."

Shen Xiang nodded. He and Liu Xueyi had already guessed most of it.

"Senior, why did the Azure Dragon Devour Demon Blade appear in that Heaven Warrior Continent" Shen Xiang asked, wanting to know the answer. "I’m not quite sure. All I know is that Ten Heaven Emperor had his two close friends hide the Azure Dragon Devour Demon Blade back then," Duan Chong shook his head.

Shen Xiang thought for a moment and asked, "What were Ten Heaven Emperor’s two friends”

"A dragon and a fire lion…" Duan Chong recalled.

“Sure enough! The dragon was the ancient inferno beast from ancient times. It said that he had been sealed by a dragon related to our Imperial Dragon Clan back then, while the ancient inferno beast discovered the divine fruit of the earth’s core and fell asleep until it grew. He was sealed in the process!”

Shen Xiang remembered that he needed to use the Azure Dragon Devour Demon Blade when entering the earth core from below the Abyss of Darkness. He relied on the Four Elemental Divine Arts to obtain both the Azure Dragon Devour Demon Blade and Black Tortoise Diamond Armor, which were passed down by Ten Heaven Emperor’s Imperial Dragon Clan lineage!

It was not hard to imagine that the individuals who built all the spatial domains and pathways leading to the earth’s core were likely the ancient inferno beast and that dragon. They were both side-careers of Ten Heaven Emperor, implying they had extraordinary strength capable of achieving these feats.ment!” Long Xueyi suddenly shouted. Shen Xiang immediately used the transformation technique and turned into a small insect, hiding on one of the beams above the hall.The movement that Long Xueyi was...
