Chapter 188
Ancient Desolate Demon Domain!
In the dark space.
âIt actually failed!â An angry roar erupted, causing the heavens and earth to tremble, the laws to wail, and the void to continuously shatter, as if everything was heading towards its end, stepping into destruction.
An unimaginable scene appeared, instilling boundless fear in all!
âIt actually failed! Once again, itâs the Primordial Holy Land! What on earth is the Star Sea doing!â The Demon Emperor found it hard to remain calm.
He had lost count of how many times his plans had been disrupted by the Primordial Holy Land. Repeated failures had made it difficult for the Demon Emperor to maintain his previously unshakable calm.
The reason for this was also because the numerous failures made his hope of leaving the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain seem more and more distant. And the threat of Jiang Chen still loomed before him.
If he didnât deal with it soon, by the time he gets out of the seal, Jiang Che might already have reached the Emperor Realm. By then, sweeping through the world wouldnât be as simple as it was now.
âThis Star Sea is useless!â The Demon Emperor was at his witâs end; he couldnât understand what the Star Sea was doing.
With the might of the Forbidden Zone, it should have been enough to force the Supreme Dao Sect to hand over the person. Why agree to the other partyâs conditions and hold some kind of martial arts contest, promising to give up if defeated?
What kind of nonsense is this? Did they really think everyone in the Nine Heaven Realm was afraid of the Forbidden Zone?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The Demon Emperorâs anger had reached an unimaginable level.
He now truly wanted to leave this wretched place and annihilate the Primordial Holy Land with a single palm strike, and simultaneously erase those guys from the Star Sea.
Especially that so-called Taigu, what was he pretending for?
âXinghe, that guy, is hiding like a turtle, not daring to come out. If he were willing to act, thereâd be no fear of the Primordial Holy Land! But getting him to act is somewhat difficult!â
The Demon Emperor had considered asking the old monster from the Star Sea to act. But the price to be paid was too high, at least two-thirds of his demon army. If he gave all of that to that old guy, his forces would suffer heavy losses.
So he had to consider this carefully, but now, he needed to think about whether or not to do it. He had previously thought that the might of the Forbidden Zone would be enough to make the other party hand over Zi Qingyan.
But the Primordial Holy Land wasnât playing along causing the plan to fail. To obtain Zi Qingyan, he could no longer rely on his current strength. Unless that old monster acted.
âIf I can get this Innate Dao Body, losing some people wouldnât be too much of a loss! As long as I can leave!â
Itâs not that the Demon Emperor was unwilling to part with his forces. It was just that he previously thought the might of the Forbidden Zone would be enough.
Who wouldâve known that Taiguâs dirty tricks, plus the interference of the Primordial Holy Land would lead to the failure of the plan.
With the failure of the plan, he had to consider the follow-up plan. Sacrificing most of his forces to get that old monster to act. As long as that old monster acted, capturing Zi Qingyan should be a sure thing.
But he hesitated.
Because he feared that old guy wouldnât keep his promise, taking the goods without delivering the service. Thatâs why he hadnât asked the old monster to act yet.
The people below him might not know the depth of Zi Qingyanâs powers, but once that old monster acted, he would surely see the extraordinary nature of Zi Qingyan. If he saw Zi Qingyanâs extraordinary nature, that old monster might really keep Zi Qingyan.
And the Demon Emperor wouldnât be able to do anything about it as he couldnât leave the seal! So the Demon Emperor hadnât let the old monster act, but now, it seemed like he had no choice.
If he didnât get Zi Qingyan, he didnât know when he would be able to break this seal. And the threat of Jiang Chen still loomed as his cultivation was rising sharply.
If he let things develop, Jiang Chen would inevitably become a disaster. By then, it wouldnât be him going out to kill Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen directly attacking him.
Considering this, the Demon Emperor had to make a choice and so the Demon Emperor directly contacted Du Guxiong.
âŠâŠ
Star Sea.
This was an extremely peculiar area, with a sky resembling the starry sky, countless stars shining, the entire region covered with an endless starry sky, without any concept of the sun and moon.
The vast starry sea spread around, making it seem like stepping into the starry sky, mesmerizing and enchanting. The scenery was picturesque, stunningly beautiful on the outside but containing unimaginable dangers within.
Countless people had fallen here in the past. In this place, the more beautiful the place, the greater the danger.
âHere we go again!â Du Guxiong looked at the Star Sea in front of him with extreme reluctance.
The Demon Emperor couldnât leave, so to contact the other party, Du Guxiong had to run the errands. Even though he had been here a few times, Du Guxiong was still unwilling.
Every time he came, he felt extreme danger, as if there was an unimaginable monster lurking behind, wanting to devour him. This feeling made Du Guxiong extremely uneasy, but he couldnât disobey the Demon Emperorâs orders.
So he had no choice but to come.
Du Guxiong took out a token, which burst out with a ray of light, shooting straight into the sky.
Before long, an old man, resembling a withered tree, with a stinking face, looked coldly at Du Guxiong!
âSenior, please lead the way!â Du Guxiong knew that this old man had been severely injured by the Primordial Holy Land and had lost face, so his mood was definitely not good.
Therefore, he didnât dare to provoke him too much. This old man was stronger both in terms of strength and background. Moreover, this was his territory, and Du Guxiong was really worried that provoking him might lead to his own demise.
Humph.
The old man snorted coldly, extremely displeased, but said nothing, leading Du Guxiong inside.
After countless space transitions Du Guxiong entered a grand palace. The palace was situated deep within the starry sea, surrounded by stars, as if it was the lord of the stars!
âSenior!â Du Guxiong bowed respectfully.
Buzz.
A massive eye opened, resembling the eye of heaven, devoid of any emotion.
âWhat is it!â A cold voice emerged, like a mechanical sound, completely devoid of emotion.
âThe Demon Emperor has agreed to your terms! We hope that you, Senior, can help the Demon Emperor capture Zi Qingyan!â Du Guxiong spoke truthfully!
Upon hearing these words the massive eye rarely showed a hint of light and said indifferently, âHave him bring the beings over! As soon as they arrive, I will immediately bring Zi Qingyan over!â
Upon hearing this Du Guxiong quickly responded, saying, âI will go back now to inform the Demon Emperor!â
âGo!â A flash of light appeared, and Du Guxiong was sent back immediately. Before long, he returned to the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain!
âDemon Emperor, he has agreed! He said that once bring the offerings over, he will act immediately!â Du Guxiong said respectfully.
The Demon Emperor was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, âArrange for the second and third legions to head to the Star Sea, and follow that old monster, make sure he captures Zi Qingyan!â
âYes!â
Under the orderly arrangement of the Demon Emperor. Or rather, under the majesty of the Demon Emperor, the two great legions of the Heavenly Demon smoothly left the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain and headed to the Star Sea.
Since everyone had concealed their auras, they went unnoticed. After some time, Du Guxiong and others successfully entered the Star Sea.
Arriving at the former palace.
âSenior, the beings you requested have arrived!â Du Guxiong said respectfully.
Buzz.
Suddenly a huge suction force swallowed all these heavenly demons clean. In front of this power, the two great legions of the Heavenly Demon had no resistance. True Kings and Saints alike were like ants, their blood and qi instantly devoured!
In just a moment, the two great legions turned into dust and completely dissipated. Even Du Guxiong suffered the same fate.
âSenior, I am notâŠâ Du Guxiong was terrified; he didnât want his life to end here.
Unfortunately, the other party gave him no chance and swallowed him as well. After dealing with everyone, the massive eye closed again, without a sound.
On the other side.
The Demon Emperor waited for news. However, after nearly half a month, not a single piece of news came through. The Demon Emperor couldnât wait any longer and contacted Du Guxiong again.
Soon.
A weakened Du Guxiong returned, saying, âDemon Emperor, I was swallowed as soon as I went over!â
Upon hearing this the Demon Emperor suddenly stood up, immediately understanding what happened.
âDamn Xinghe!â The Demon Emperor was extremely furious, his worst fear had come true. The old monster from the Star Sea had directly betrayed him.
