Capítulo 1319: Chapter 655: The Great Battle Ends! (Part 3)

He shook his head and handed the Spirit Crystal back to Chen Yuan. Although this item could be considered a treasure, Shushan had many similar treasures. Without the ability to comprehend its laws, it was practically useless to him.

Chen Yuan did not hesitate and quickly stored the Spirit Crystal away. Regardless, it was a leftover from the Demon God, so who knows what use it might have.

Luckily, Ling Xu was not interested in it.

“By the way, there’s another matter I’d like to ask the Daoist,” Chen Yuan pondered for a moment before deciding to speak.

“Wuan Hou, please speak freely.”

“Previously, during my confrontation, did any of you notice any peculiar fluctuations?”

“What do you mean?”

“Did you, my fellow Daoist, detect anything unusual?”

The five elders of Shushan were somewhat puzzled, but given Chen Yuan’s abilities, he wouldn’t deliberately deceive them, so they immediately asked with a serious expression.

“To be frank, while on the Ninth Floor refining and absorbing the Demon God Flower, I…,” Chen Yuan explained the discovery of that black vertical eye.

Of course, he omitted the part where the vertical eye was startled away by the Qi Fortune Altar, only mentioning that it disappeared abruptly after probing, and no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find it.

“So, such a thing happened….”

The five elders of Shushan appeared deep in thought.

Suddenly, Daoist Qing Xu seemed to recall something and quickly said:

“Do you brothers remember what I mentioned earlier—when the Demon Suppressing Tower was trembling, there was an attempt from inside trying to escape but blocked by the Formation….”

Daoist Ling Xu nodded, earlier he assumed it was the demons attempting to use the opportunity to escape the Demon Suppressing Tower, but now it seems that’s not the case.

The cause of the tower’s trembling was actually the vertical eye Chen Yuan mentioned!

“Does that mean the eye still exists within the Demon Suppressing Tower?” Chen Yuan’s gaze shifted to the hundred-foot tower behind him, his face incredibly solemn; he had considerable confidence in his strength.

But after thoroughly examining the Demon Suppressing Tower and scanning the remaining demons with his Divine Thought, he found no trace whatsoever, which forced him to be serious.

“What exactly is this thing?”

Jiang He, who had been listening in, also asked aloud.

He finally understood why Chen Yuan wanted to stay behind—he was worried about a lingering threat and aimed to eliminate it by rooting out the unknown entity.

“This…a black vertical eye, completely undetectable. Even Shushan has no records of such a thing.” Yang Xu Daoist, who was nearby, quietly remarked, his brows furrowing.

His duty was to oversee Shushan’s Scripture Pavilion, which contained secret teachings and records of Shushan’s legacy over millennia. Yet, he had never encountered anything similar.

Indeed, very odd.

“This entity first appeared on the Ninth Floor. Could it… be related to the Demon God?” Chen Yuan had long suspected this. No other means could have concealed its presence from his probe.

But if it were related to the Demon God, then there’s an explanation.

Even with unbeatable combat power, Chen Yuan couldn’t match the forces of a Supreme Heavenly List’s top twenty being; however, compared to a Demon God, there was still a wide disparity.

For the human race, the Sixth Realm is a True Immortal, whereas the demon race’s Sixth Realm is a Heaven-reaching Demon God!

The Demon Gods of the demon race, just like the Sixth Realm Immortals of the human race, are frightening—they command laws, comprehend the Heavenly Dao, sanctify their bodies, and can even undergo Blood Rebirth with divine skills akin to Immortal Law.

Even their remnants should not be underestimated.

“But it shouldn’t be…” Daoist Ling Xu shook his head, feeling something was off with Chen Yuan’s statement—those two Demon Gods were already severely injured, suppressed by the Demon-locking Chains, and the Immortals of Shushan had left special measures in place before departing—to ensure if they didn’t return, those measures could crush the Demon Gods. He witnessed it himself, seeing the Demon Gods devoured by the means left by the Immortals and perishing immediately.

If those Demon Gods had a contingency plan, they certainly wouldn’t wait over two hundred years to gradually reveal their true bodies, and their means don’t seem powerful—barely enough for Chen Yuan to drive them away.

“Relying solely on assumptions is unwise. Why don’t we make another entry into the Demon Suppressing Tower to thoroughly search for where that entity might be hiding?”

Daoist Qing Xu suggested.

“Chen has already searched twice, and even if it is inside, it’s unlikely to be found,” Chen Yuan stated.

“If the two brothers go in, what if the entity escapes?” Daoist Shen Xu also asked, unsure about the unknown entity’s nature.

The entity’s strength remains unclear, but since it dared to breach the Demon Suppressing Tower, it certainly has some means to do so; he thought it should not be underestimated.

Daoist Ling Xu pondered for a moment, then said:

“Let myself, Daoist Jiang He, and Daoist Chen Yuan make another entry, searching three floors per person, while the others create a formation outside to prevent the entity’s escape.”

Since there’s a hidden threat, it’s natural to find a way to eliminate it.

Chen Yuan thought over the proposal and didn’t refuse, though he held little hope for this search.

“Alright, brother, go with peace of mind.”

“Rest assured.”

“My fellow Daoists, let’s make another entry into the Demon Suppressing Tower.” Daoist Ling Xu gazed at both Chen Yuan and Jiang He.

“Alright.”

“Then let’s take another walk….”

…

…

The three, Ling Xu, re-entered the Demon Suppressing Tower, conducting a meticulous search—even to the point of moving earth three feet deep—but the outcome was just as Chen Yuan had anticipated, with no trace found whatsoever.

If not for believing in Chen Yuan’s integrity, Daoist Ling Xu might have thought Chen was lying.

After searching extensively and failing to uncover anything, the group realized they couldn’t dedicate all their time to it, and they decided to postpone until the Southern Border demons and monsters were handled.

Thus, the confrontation within the Demon Suppressing Tower came to a close, though both Chen Yuan and Jiang He knew that this was merely the beginning of another grand battle!

Shushan, known as an Immortal Sect, holds great sway over the South, instilling fear—a force the Southern Border’s demon race longs to overthrow. To shatter the Demon Suppressing Tower, they won’t underestimate the power needed.

At least one Demon Saint is likely among their numbers, and the real fierce battle is yet to come!
