459: Chen De is here

After a battle, as Yuan Chen’s final strike reduced the shadowy figure to ashes, the fight came to an end.

He shook his hand; today, he had single-handedly eliminated two Immortal Law Realm powerhouses.

One was local, and the other possibly from an outer domain; news of this would surely cause a sensation.

He would not conceal the news of the Moyuan Sect Leader acquiring the Supreme Demonic Creature; instead, he would publicize it widely.

The more the Moyuan Sect was feared, the more stable the Zhengyuan Sect’s position would become.

The way of Yin and Yang balance lay within this.

However, the dark, murky fellow he had just killed seemed almost too easy.

How could a being who had mastered divine abilities be easier to kill than the first one, Positive Separation?

This made him somewhat uneasy… And as Yuan Chen pondered, some thoughts in his mind gradually faded and disappeared.

Today, to seize the Supreme Demonic Creature, he killed two Immortal Law Realm cultivators: one was Positive Separation, and the other was a fellow who had mastered divine abilities… Today, to seize the Supreme Demonic Creature, he killed two Immortal Law Realm cultivators: one was Positive Separation, and the other was… Today, to seize the Supreme Demonic Creature, he killed two Immortal Law Realm cultivators: one was Positive Separation, and the other… The other who?

A trace of confusion flashed in Yuan Chen’s eyes, but he quickly regained his clarity.

He casually shook off the non-existent blood spatters from his hand.

He thought: I really don’t know where he got the confidence to think he could escape from my grasp.

Today, to seize the Supreme Demonic Creature, he killed… He glanced at the spoils of war on his body.

Right, today he killed Positive Separation to seize the Supreme Demonic Creature and used this to restore the prestige of the Moyuan Sect.

He would widely publicize it, letting everyone in the Xichen Domain know.

This action, directly slaying an Immortal Law Realm powerhouse, was enough to cause a sensation in the Xichen Domain.

He would not… He absolutely must conceal the news of the Moyuan Sect Leader acquiring the Demonic Creature; the fewer people who knew, the better.

Confusion appeared in Yuan Chen’s eyes once more, but it also quickly dissipated, and he continued his thoughts.

Also, the matter of him killing Positive Separation could not be revealed.

Otherwise, the Moyuan Sect would become even more feared, and being targeted by everyone would not be good.

Yes, that’s it!

After quickly sorting out his logic, Yuan Chen also began cleaning up the area.

The main thing was the battle traces; battles between immortals were always this troublesome.

The damage and traces left behind were also immortal.

If left here, without the involvement of other immortals or higher beings, they would likely never dissipate.

Therefore, except for certain powerhouses or specific circumstances, Immortal Law Realm cultivators usually cleaned up after a fight.

For no other reason than, when you’re out in the world, the fewer clues you leave behind, the better.

After completing all of this, Yuan Chen officially began his journey home.

This place was a full hundred thousand light-years away from his Zhengyuan Sect, so he naturally had to travel at superluminal speeds.

Even so, it would still take him two or three days to return.

On his way back, Yuan Chen was traversing space, feeling a bit sticky on his face.

It seemed… it seemed something was flowing out of his eye sockets.

He did not slow down, only feeling a vague sense of unease in his heart, but this premonition quickly vanished without a trace.

He reached out and tentatively touched his face.

There was indeed some sticky liquid on his face, so he took his hand away to see what it was.

But the liquid seemed to be very sticky, adhering his fingers to his face.

He tried, and to his surprise, even with his Immortal Law Realm cultivation, he needed to exert a little force to pull his hand away.

When he looked at what was in his hand, he found it was some kind of unknown black liquid, wriggling.

With the superhuman vision of an Immortal Law Realm cultivator, he could clearly see countless black tentacles emerging from the liquid, entangled and intertwined.

They constantly changed form, constantly aggregated, constantly split, one small tentacle melting into liquid then splitting into many more.

It opened its gaping maw, swaying and wriggling madly, as if baring its fangs and claws at Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen’s heart suddenly tightened, and an unprecedented chill instantly swept through his entire body.

Even a mighty Immortal Law Realm cultivator, the renowned leader of the Zhengyuan Sect/Moyuan Sect, was now pale with fright, his hands and feet icy cold.

With his knowledge and cultivation, he couldn’t recognize what this thing attached to his face was!

Even more terrifying was that he had no idea when this thing appeared, when it attached itself to him, or how long it had been there!

A trace of confusion flashed in Yuan Chen’s eyes again, but this time he regained clarity extremely quickly, reacting instantly.

This time, he also did not forget any memories.

However, several more drops of black liquid had appeared on his hand at some unknown point.

Plop!

Plop!

Plop!

...One drop, two drops, three drops, four drops... Constantly, identical black liquid drops fell onto his hand, faster and faster, more and more.

It turned out that his eyes, ears, nose, mouth… all were seeping black liquid.

Even his own face seemed to be melting.

At this moment, a ruthless expression flashed across Yuan Chen’s face; he wanted to use a secret technique to cut off his tail to save himself.

But just then, a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes again.

This time, he did not regain consciousness.

“He” regained consciousness.

Chen De twisted his neck; this was his first time devouring an Immortal Law Realm level being.

He had never expected that this breakthrough and evolutionary devouring would be so troublesome, taking such a long time.

After devouring Yuan Chen and obtaining his memories, Chen De gained some initial understanding of the Upper Plane.

As an Immortal Law Realm cultivator from the Upper Plane, a true member of the upper echelons, his memories would definitely allow Chen De to integrate into it very quickly.

Zhengyuan Sect… Moyuan Sect… As a newcomer, perhaps he could go and take a look… At the handsome young man’s location.

“What?!”

“My father is dead!”

Yang Jing was greatly alarmed, his face equally pale with fright.

Without Positive Separation, what would he do?!

At best, he could only be considered an ordinary Heavenly Dominion Realm Peak cultivator.

For an average person, that would naturally be incredibly impressive; the Upper Plane was mostly inhabited by mortals.

Those with cultivation were a minority; within the Mortal Realm, there was at least a tens of billions ratio difference between each realm.

Between the Heavenly Dominion Realm Peak and the Immortal Law Realm, the ratio was even as high as trillions upon trillions or more.

So, a Heavenly Dominion Realm cultivator was still very powerful in the Upper Plane, but for someone at Yang Jing’s level, it was a disaster.

With his father’s death, his former enemies, and even some of his father’s own subordinates, would not let him off.

Such a bolt from the blue was still too cruel for a child who had just turned eighteen thousand years old.

For a moment, Yang Jing didn’t know what to do.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he came up with a good idea.

Escape!

Escape quickly!

He didn’t even bother packing his belongings, calling his women to quickly flee.

After all, he had been pampered his whole life; how could he run away without someone to serve him?

So he ordered his women to quickly pack their things and leave this place.

One of the women curiously asked what had happened, and Yang Jing, without thinking, slapped her, coldly snapping, “What nonsense are you spouting? I told you to do it, so just do it!”

“Yes!” The woman quickly lowered her head, half her face crimson, a palm print clearly visible.

Yet she dared not show the slightest resentment, respectfully following Yang Jing’s instructions.

Yang Jing glared at her fiercely, but unfortunately, it wasn’t like before; otherwise, this woman would already be a corpse.

Watching his women busy themselves, he couldn’t help but lament sadly about his bitter fate.

Now, even to kill someone, he had to hesitate first; why did heaven inflict such punishment upon him?
