230: Goodbye black figure!

At this moment, Lin Zhao suddenly noticed a change in the sky and quickly spoke, pointing upwards.

"Master, what is that?"

The ethereal old man was still slowly recovering his lost soul power and contemplating what to do next.

Hearing his disciple's cry, he diverted a portion of his soul power to observe the sky.

Hundreds of strange marks had appeared at the edge of the sky at some unknown point.

They interconnected, linking together to envelop a large area of space.

As a former half-step Piming Realm expert, he was extremely sensitive to changes in space.

He clearly felt that this area of space seemed to be, to be isolating itself from the outside world.

Such a vast area, to achieve this, what kind of expert would it take?

My life is over!

Just as the ethereal old man was lamenting and despairing, a Black-Robed Figure appeared above them.

The Black-Robed Figure looked down, observing the woman below.

This must be the one who slipped through the net, right?

Feeling the repulsive aura on her, the Black-Robed Figure seemed to recall something.

Then, his killing intent exploded!

And he, naturally, also sensed the changes in the external space.

Although he didn't know how the initiator achieved such a degree of change.

But that didn't affect him dealing with the woman below.

It was just a convenient act anyway; he would deal with her first, then handle what came next.

Afterward, he thoroughly scanned the surroundings, confirming that the person from last time had not appeared and was not nearby.

The Black-Robed Figure relaxed and was about to make his move.

Just then, space around him began to change.

...

Somewhere above the Shenguang Empire, Chen De was manipulating the World of Interstice.

He had already purified the Qian Guang Empire and the Zhongguang Empire.

The gains from these two empires not only pushed Chen De's cultivation to the peak of the Demon Domain Realm.

It also advanced his Body Cultivation Realm by three more stages, reaching the fourth stage of the Golden Phase Realm.

Currently, the large gap between his Body Cultivation Realm and Demon Cultivation Realm didn't show much effect.

It's estimated that its true utility will only become apparent when it's on par with Chen De's Demon Cultivation Realm.

Chen De looked at the Shenguang Empire below, his mind filled with thoughts.

This Shenguang Empire was more powerful than the previous two empires.

Including the previous gains, it should provide Chen De with enough attribute points to raise his realm by four stages.

This way, his Body Cultivation Realm would reach the eighth stage of the Golden Phase Realm.

With a little more effort, his Body Cultivation Realm would be on par with his Demon Cultivation Realm.

According to Chen De's classification, this would be considered reaching the level of a half-step Demon Emperor Realm.

Of course, the gap between the Demon Emperor Realm and the Demon Domain Realm is much larger than the gap between the Demon Domain Realm and the Demon Transformation Realm.

Even if both systems reach their peak, they might not achieve the half-step level that was possible during the Demon Transformation Realm.

However, by that time, Chen De could begin cultivating the third main system.

This would definitely push Chen De's maximum combat power even further.

Then, he could fully begin his sixth Devouring Evolution.

Currently, objects suitable for Chen De's Devouring Evolution were becoming fewer and fewer.

At this moment, Chen De sensed that he seemed to have encountered a fellow inside the Shenguang Empire.

Chen De had been searching for him for a long time.

He didn't expect him to deliver himself to his doorstep.

The World of Interstice couldn't control an expert of this level.

So, Chen De first paused the changes of the World of Interstice, and with a flicker of his figure, he vanished from the sky.

...

The Black-Robed Figure stopped his actions, staring at the fluctuating space beside him.

The next moment, a figure appeared before his eyes.

The Black-Robed Figure cursed inwardly, "I knew it, this damn guardian is always protecting her."

Chen De appeared on the scene, glanced at the Black-Robed Figure in front of him, then at Lin Zhao below.

In an instant, Chen De understood what was happening.

Indeed, he was the protector of the Son of Destiny; as soon as there was danger, he appeared immediately.

A mere Qi Sea Realm actually needed a Void Union Realm ultimate expert to personally protect her.

This was good too; Chen De hadn't known where to find him, but he had appeared on his own.

Chen De looked down on the Black-Robed Figure, and the Black-Robed Figure also stared intently at Chen De.

Seeing Chen De appear, the Black-Robed Figure knew that he probably wouldn't be able to kill the woman below this time.

Although the opponent's strength was slightly weaker than his own, he had no way against that terrifying recovery ability.

Originally, the Black-Robed Figure thought it would be like last time, where both sides would retreat tacitly.

Then he saw the opponent make the first move.

It was the exact same move as last time; he had no idea how many times he had parried it.

But when he met the attack, the moment he made contact with that move...

His expression instantly changed drastically, and he frantically retreated backward.

However, it was of no use; the Black-Robed Figure was still slammed into the ground by Chen De's attack.

The terrifying force was like a meteorite impact, causing the earth to shake.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, where the Black-Robed Figure landed, a huge crater appeared, a hundred miles in diameter and dozens of miles deep.

As for Lin Zhao, because she was not Chen De's main target of attack.

And the Black-Robed Figure landed relatively close, plus the ethereal old man's protection of Lin Zhao.

With these combined factors, Lin Zhao did not suffer any harm.

Only the faint glow on her ring weakened a bit more.

A distance of a thousand miles was nothing to either Chen De or the Black-Robed Figure.

This distance did not affect their visibility in the slightest.

Chen De stood in the air, just staring at the spot where the Black-Robed Figure had landed.

The Black-Robed Figure lay sprawled in the deep crater, gazing at the sky.

He was somewhat doubtful, why?

Why did it turn out this way?

Clearly, during their last encounter, the opponent was at a disadvantage, only able to contend with him by relying on his powerful recovery ability.

How many days has it been?

He became so powerful in such a short time, how is this possible?

How could such an absurd person appear in this world?

This, this isn't...

Then, Chen De suddenly appeared in the deep crater, in front of the Black-Robed Figure.

With one step, the Black-Robed Figure sank another ten kilometers deeper.

Looking at the Black-Robed Figure beneath his feet, Chen De was somewhat puzzled.

How could he be so resilient? If Chen De himself took those two hits without defense, he might not be able to withstand them.

So, without thinking, Chen De stepped down again.

But the Black-Robed Figure under his foot suddenly dispersed into countless black mists, re-condensing to the side.

Chen De saw that apart from his clothes being more tattered, he stood as if nothing had happened.

So, he appeared beside the Black-Robed Figure again and unleashed another punch.

The Black-Robed Figure couldn't keep up with Chen De's speed and took another solid hit.

He retreated countless steps again, smashing out another large crater.

Chen De slowly walked towards the Black-Robed Figure, and before he could react, he grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

Just then, suddenly...
