127: Chapter 127 Even at the cost of my life and soul, I will annihilate you here.

As Zhong Xianming's words fell.

The figures of Chu Chen and Ye Fan instantly flashed before the Zhong Clan's grand formation.

The incomparably tyrannical Demonic Power and terrifying blood energy stirred up phenomena in the heavens and earth.

At this moment, above the Zhong Clan, a Demon God Phantom manifested, a blazing sun hung in the sky, and a sea of blood reflected in all directions.

The terrifying aura shook the universe; if not for the grand formation protecting the Zhong Clan, everything would have been destroyed by these terrifying phenomena in an instant.

"It's him!?" Seeing the newcomers, Zhong Xuantian's eyes filled with astonishment.

"The Demon Lord of the Demon Court, Chu Chen!!"

At this moment, Zhong Xuantian gritted his teeth and said, "Distant Ancestor, he is the head of the Nine Provinces' Demonic path, the Demon Lord of the Demon Court."

"In the past, he slaughtered several Sages of our Zhong Clan and even abducted our clan's current Goddess, disappearing without a trace afterward."

Zhong Xuantian's eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Chu Chen.

When he first received the news, he had dispatched the Supreme Elder to kill Chu Chen.

However, what was heart-chilling was that within a few short days, even the Supreme Elder's soul tablet shattered.

Then came news of Chu Chen destroying two Holy Lands in succession, and even slaying the imperial will of the Qianyuan Holy Land.

That might have been one thing, but the Zhong Clan was an Immortal Daoist Lineage force; how could Holy Lands compare?

Yet, not long after, news spread of Chu Chen fighting two peerless Quasi-Emperors.

Later, he easily exterminated the Ultimate Sublimation Quasi-Emperor ancestor of the Huayuan Holy Land.

He seized the imperial weapon, the green lotus imperial bell, and with just a single sentence, forced the Azure Dragon Holy Land to submit, causing the entire clan to bring all their resources and join the Demon Court.

This series of battle achievements made Zhong Xuantian abandon his thoughts against Chu Chen; he was simply too strong.

In the countless years of the Nine Provinces, no one had ever been like him, achieving in just a few short years what others could not accomplish in ten thousand.

However, the awakening of the Distant Ancestor, Ancient Ancestor, and Old Ancestor now allowed him to see hope once again.

One must know that these three were all Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor existences, and that Distant Ancestor had lived for several eras; no one had known the extent of his terrifying strength for a long time.

"Chu Chen, today we shall settle both old and new scores. You first slaughtered our Zhong Clan's Sages, and later abducted our Zhong Clan's Saintess."

"Now you have come to attack our Zhong Clan; do you really think the Zhong Clan is easy to bully?"

Hearing this, Zhong Xianming's pair of weathered eyes looked toward Chu Chen.

"Chu Chen, the karma between you and my Zhong Clan arose solely because of a Saintess. Although my Zhong Clan dispatched Sages, they were also slaughtered by you."

"My Zhong Clan is willing to let bygones be bygones, befriend you, and resolve this karma. How about it!?"

Zhong Xuantian, standing to the side, saw this and said in confusion, "Old Ancestor... he slaughtered our Zhong Clan's Sages and abducted our clan's Goddess... are we just going to let him go like this?"

"Shut up!!" Suddenly, Zhong Emperor Jade glanced at Zhong Xuantian.

"When did it become the turn of a mere clan leader like you to question the Distant Ancestor's decision?"

In an instant, Zhong Xuantian felt a terrifying aura instantly lock onto him.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said in a cold voice, "As long as you three offer up all your essence blood, I will agree to resolve this karma. How about it!?"

"It seems there is no room for negotiation. However, you should think carefully; my Zhong Clan has been passed down since ancient times, and our foundation is unfathomable."

"Once we make a move, it is very likely you will perish here. For us to stop now is the best choice."

Zhong Xianming's aged voice rang out, coldness radiating from his withered eyes, and his terrifying aura caused the surrounding space to distort.

"How long-winded! Did you not hear what the Young Master said!?"

Ye Fan glared with wide eyes and shouted sternly.

His voice exploded like a thunderclap, making everyone's eardrums ache.

"Today, the Zhong Clan must perish!!"

Ye Fan roared again, his voice like a great bell, resounding through the heavens.

One could see the golden blood energy within his body surging out like tumultuous waves, his momentum magnificent, shaking the nine heavens.

At the same time, he exerted all his power to activate the green lotus imperial bell in his hand and smashed it fiercely toward the Zhong Clan's grand formation.

"Boom—" Accompanied by an earth-shattering loud noise.

The green lotus imperial bell, like a star falling into the mortal world, carrying unparalleled pressure and power, crashed straight toward the Zhong Clan's grand formation.

Under this extremely terrifying impact, the Zhong Clan's grand formation began to tremble violently, as if it could collapse and disintegrate at any moment.

"Hmph, a mere brat at the First Stage Quasi-Emperor realm dares to foolishly attempt to break our Zhong Clan's grand formation; you simply don't know what death is!!"

Zhong Emperor Jade and Zhong Fengyu saw this and instantly flashed to the front of the formation.

Feeling the surging golden blood energy within Ye Fan's body, the two were greatly shocked.

The next moment, terrifying imperial might erupted from within both of them, and celestial light radiated from their bodies.

"Do you really think that only you have an imperial weapon, and my Zhong Clan does not?"

In an instant, a giant furnace emitting scorching divine radiance flew out with a roar.

Wherever the scorching divine radiance shone, the void shattered, and everything was incinerated.

"Nine Suns Furnace, go!!" accompanied by Zhong Emperor Jade's loud shout.

That giant furnace, attached with terrifying flames, crushed the space and knocked the green lotus imperial bell flying.

With the incomparably terrifying force, even Ye Fan was sent flying.

Seeing this, Chu Chen made his move.

"—Roar—" Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a demonic dragon several thousand zhang long manifested and lunged toward the Nine Suns Furnace.

"—Swish—" However, the next moment, a black and white sword gleam instantly slashed and extinguished the lunging demonic dragon.

Zhong Xianming stepped through the void, his withered eyes looking toward Chu Chen.

"Chu Chen, with me here, you shall not pass!!"

"Is that so?" Chu Chen replied calmly, "Whatever trump cards you have, you had best use them all; otherwise, relying on your Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor cultivation, you cannot stop me."

As Chu Chen's words fell, the demon god mysterious coffin was evidently hoisted onto Chu Chen's shoulder.

His figure, like a giant meteor, shattered the void all the way as he attacked toward Zhong Xianming.

Zhong Xianming looked at the ice crystal coffin on Chu Chen's shoulder, a trace of astonishment appearing in his withered eyes.

He could not perceive the grade of this ice crystal coffin, and seeing that Chu Chen had already arrived to kill.

He immediately activated the Hunyuan Sword in his hand, and his Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor aura erupted from his body.

Seeing this, Chu Chen was simple and brutal; he swung the coffin and smashed it toward Zhong Xianming's body.

Chu Chen knew that this demon god mysterious coffin was incomparably hard, and no matter what attack was used, it could not cause the slightest damage to the demon god mysterious coffin.

The next moment, Zhong Xianming's expression changed drastically; all his attacks were blocked by the ice crystal coffin in Chu Chen's hand.

"—Hunyuan Sword Array!!" Accompanied by this roar, Zhong Xianming's voice resounded through the firmament.

Just then, the Hunyuan Sword that he gripped tightly in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling black and white light.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into countless sharp sword shadows, densely filling the entire space.

Each sword shadow contained endless pressure and lethality.

"—Combine!" Zhong Xianming's voice rang out again.

"—Boom!" As the words fell, the countless sword shadows formed an incomparably terrifying sword array, enveloping Chu Chen within it.

"Chu Chen, since you are unwilling to resolve this karma, even if I have to risk my life and soul, I will exterminate you here."
