Chapter 882 - 786: The Demon Lord’s Signal

Luo Hou had already given up hope, but when he heard the Demon Lord say there was still a way, he was instantly delighted.

"What way?" Luo Hou hurriedly asked.

"A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!" The Demon Lord paused and said to Luo Hou: "I can create chaos at the boundary between Heaven and Earth and the Void to see if I can lure the Yin Celestial Son over."

"If he can be drawn over, that would naturally be the best outcome."

"If not, you’ll have to find another way."

The Demon Lord’s plan was something that could only be tried.

Whether it would work or not, he could not guarantee.

In fact, the Demon Lord didn’t really want to help Luo Hou achieve his goals.

His suggestion was actually a cover for wanting to meet the Yin Celestial Son.

It just so happened he could use the task Luo Hou assigned him as a pretext to conduct his own business.

Luo Hou, unaware of the Demon Lord’s true intentions, agreed immediately: "Alright, let’s give it a try."

The myriad races of Heaven and Earth; so much flesh and blood essence, yet the Chaos Star Beast cannot enter Heaven and Earth.

The reason the Chaos Star Beast cannot enter Heaven and Earth is fundamentally because the Yin Celestial Son sealed the Gate of Chaos.

Luo Hou schemed meticulously, going through great lengths to let the Gate of Chaos take root in Heaven and Earth.

Now, if the Chaos Star Beast can’t come out, all the planning and scheming is wasted.

The plan suggested by the Demon Lord, while not a guaranteed success, still gave Luo Hou a glimmer of hope.

If only the Yin Celestial Son and the Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins could be made too busy to seal the Gate of Chaos.

The Gate of Chaos could continuously release Chaos Star Beasts, by then, Lin Yuan, Yang Jing, and those Tier Two Experts wouldn’t be able to eradicate all these Chaos Star Beasts.

As long as a few slip through, and they have time to devour and evolve.

Soon, there will be Tier One Chaos Star Beasts born among them.

At that point, it will be even harder for Lin Yuan to stop these Chaos Star Beasts.

Heaven and Earth is Lin Yuan’s stronghold.

Once Heaven and Earth get occupied by the Chaos Star Beasts and the myriad races are devoured entirely, then the Void and Returning Ruins will become rootless duckweed, destined to fall into Luo Hou’s hands.

When Heaven and Earth, the Void, and the Returning Ruins are all under Luo Hou’s control, he can then reconstruct the Path of Transcendence.

After discussing the plan, Luo Hou sent the Demon Lord into action.

The Demon Lord arrived at the boundary between Heaven and Earth and the Void, continuously using his tentacles to bombard the barriers between Heaven and Earth and the Void.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Intense energy fluctuations resounded one after another, even causing a slight tremor to be felt across the entire Heaven and Earth.

On Jie Mountain, Lin Yuan and the Yin Celestial Son were discussing matters.

"It’s the Demon Lord, he’s attacking the barriers between the two realms," the Yin Celestial Son said in a deep voice.

Although the Demon Lord’s strength was strong, it was impossible to break through the barriers between the two realms.

The Demon Lord’s current actions were like a neighbor banging a drum in his own house all day long.

The noise he created might annoy you, but trying to collapse your house with drum sounds alone was impossible.

"Bound by the oath with the Human Emperor from long ago, he can’t enter Heaven and Earth, so he can only create a ruckus outside."

"Don’t bother with him, he’ll go back when he’s tired," Lin Yuan said to the Yin Celestial Son.

The Demon Lord’s harassment was ultimately just an annoyance, incapable of causing them any substantial impact.

Thus, Lin Yuan and the Yin Celestial Son naturally had no intention of dealing with him.

The top priority now was still Luo Hou’s Gate of Chaos.

This thing landing on Jie Mountain was like a malignant sore that couldn’t be eradicated.

The Yin Celestial Son quietly glanced in the direction of the Demon Lord and said in a deep voice: "He clearly retreated before but now he’s come back again."

"This Demon Lord is truly incorrigible!"

"I’ve said everything there is to say, and he knows Luo Hou is using him, yet he still works for Luo Hou with unwavering loyalty."

"Does he really believe that once Luo Hou succeeds, he’ll still keep him alive?"

Lin Yuan also held the Demon Lord in contempt: "Once used to being a dog, you can’t be a person anymore."

However, as he listened to the Demon Lord’s bombardment on the barriers between the two realms, Lin Yuan frowned deeply.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the energy bombardment seemed to have a certain pattern.

This frequency appeared to be releasing some kind of signal.

At this moment, Yang Jing hurried over.

"Why are you here?" Lin Yuan asked Yang Jing.

Yang Jing said to Lin Yuan: "Did you hear that sound?"

Lin Yuan thought, not only did I hear it, but any of the myriad races with Tier Two strength could probably hear it.

Below Tier Two, they’re likely not sensitive enough to energy fluctuations to hear it.

"Mm!" Lin Yuan responded, saying: "The Demon Lord is outside, bombarding the barriers between the two realms."

"This guy is crazy, knowing full well that Luo Hou is using him, yet he still serves Luo Hou with unwavering devotion."

Yang Jing shook his head and said to Lin Yuan: "No, he’s sending us a signal."

"This frequency is a unique vibration frequency from when the Void was nurturing the Four Great Primordial Spirits."

"This frequency should only be known to me, the Demon Lord, the Buddha, and Wa Huang. The Demon Lord using this frequency to bombard the barriers between the two realms must carry special significance."

Yang Jing’s words suddenly enlightened Lin Yuan.

He had just noticed that the Demon Lord’s bombardment was very rhythmic.

Logically, if it were a serious attack, he would attack with all his might, without any rhythm.

The Demon Lord’s rhythmic bombardment was very unusual.

Sure enough, Yang Jing quickly confirmed this point.

The Yin Celestial Son’s eyes flashed a few times, and he said to Lin Yuan: "It seems I must meet with the Demon Lord to understand his intent."

Lin Yuan was also curious about what the Demon Lord meant by "knocking on the door" to see the Yin Celestial Son in this manner.

"What about the Gate of Chaos once you leave?" Lin Yuan asked.

The Yin Celestial Son was responsible for sealing the Gate of Chaos. If he left, it might create trouble.

The Yin Celestial Son thought for a moment and said: "Before I leave, I will reinforce the seal on the Gate of Chaos, so the Chaos Star Beasts within cannot escape for the time being."

"You two now head to Returning Ruins and watch over the Demon Cocoon trapping the Buddha, and substitute the Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins."

"I will first meet with the Demon Lord; the Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins is en route. If needed, he can help me attack the Demon Lord or assist in sealing the Gate of Chaos."

"Furthermore, the Demon Lord is right at the edge of Heaven and Earth and the Void. If absolutely necessary, I can withdraw."

"After all, the Demon Lord cannot enter Heaven and Earth."

The Yin Celestial Son’s arrangement was quite reasonable, leaving both advance and retreat paths open.

It could be said that they were inherently standing in an invincible position.

"Alright, let’s do it this way!" After agreeing, Lin Yuan said to Yang Jing: "Let’s go, we’ll head to Returning Ruins first."

After Lin Yuan and Yang Jing detoured to Returning Ruins, the Yin Celestial Son reinforced the seal on the Gate of Chaos and then went to meet with the Demon Lord.
