Novel Full Chapter 347 - I Won't Be At Ease If You're Still Alive
Chapter 347: I Won’t Be At Ease If You’re Still Alive
The heaven and earth instantly fell silent, and the huge demon god mark came to an abrupt halt.
Feeling the tingling sensation from her soul, Yao Qing’s face turned slightly pale, and she muttered, “It’s been tens of thousands of years… Another cultivator above the Void Refinement realm has appeared, but I didn’t expect it to be you. If I had known earlier, I should have…”
At this point, she suddenly laughed and said self-deprecatingly, “If I had killed you the first time I saw you, I wouldn’t exist now.”
Chen Chen, who was below, raised his head slightly and said softly, “Things have come to this, and I’m still going to say the same thing. You’re my friend, and we can talk things over calmly. I’m willing to help you with Botanic Demons.”
Yao Qing shook her head and raised her head to look at the blazing sun in the distance with tears flowing down from the corners of her eyes.
What kind of help could Chen Chen give?
At her level, how could she not know that the fundamental problem of the Botanic Demons lies within themselves?
There would only be hope in solving this problem if there were changes in the Botanic Demons.
However, she wasn’t willing to accept such a reality because once she did, it would be akin to admitting that the Botanic Demons can only live surreptitiously.
‘The competent ones often get harmed because of their capabilities. Since the heavens have given us each a pure soul, why should we be given a body that everyone covets?’
After silently saying those words in her heart, Yao Qing looked at Chen Chen and said with a bland smile, “Kill me.”
“Why do you have to push yourself to the brink of extinction?”
“You’re not me, how can you understand my pain and misery?”
Chen Chen was speechless.
The truth was indeed so. Strictly speaking, it was easier said than done.
He was aware of that himself.
Shaking his head, Chen Chen turned around.
“Go, take it that I’ve repaid you what I owe you, today. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, we’ll decide who gets to live.”
“Kill her!”
At this moment, a human cultivator awoke from his coma and shouted loudly.
Soon, more and more people woke up.
“Kill her, Senior Brother Chen! Take revenge for our dead compatriots!”
“Chen Chen, you must not let her return!”
“You can’t show her mercy!”
Everyone started persuading Chen Chen, but he kept a straight face and ignored them.
Those people were not him, so how could they possibly understand how he felt?
In the distance, the demons Xiao Hua, Xiao Huang, and Shengfan had all regained consciousness too. They were now looking at Chen Chen pitifully.
Although the sounds of brutal killing were weak, the thousands of voices combined were just as terrifying too.
They wanted to plead for Yao Qing, but under such circumstances, they didn’t dare to make a single sound at all. They merely dared to plead with their gazes.
Looking at the three small demons mixed among the human cultivators and appearing extremely humble, Yao Qing felt as if she was looking at the poor situation of Botanic Demons in this world.
The pent-up resentment in his heart emerged at this moment.
“Don’t look at him like that! We, the Botanic Demons, can dominate the world all the same!”
The three little demons smiled and looked up at the Yao Qing in the sky, and although their expressions had become a lot more resolute, the gaze in their eyes was still pitiful.
“As a Demon God, I don’t need anyone’s magnanimity. Don’t forget what I said to the three of you back then! You carry the future of we Botanic Demons!”
After saying that, Yao Qing’s figure gradually became illusory.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen’s face changed violently and hurriedly withdrew those divine sense spears.
In the next moment, Yao Qing had already flown to a spot that was less than a meter in front of Chen Chen and then raised her right palm to smack Chen Chen on his head.
Seeing this, Chen Chen hurriedly raised his fist and palm to block them.
Boom!
With a muffled thud, the palms of the human and demon collided, forming a powerful shock wave that spread in all directions.
Although the formation didn’t seem weak, Chen Chen clearly felt that Yao Qing’s attack was far below the standards of the Void Refinement realm.
The spiritual power around Chen Chen was rampant, and the gaze in his eyes became complicated as his ears were filled with a whistling sound.
At this moment, Yao Qing’s lips moved slightly, and she seemed to have said something.
Although Chen Chen couldn’t hear that voice, he understood what the message meant.
It meant, “I can’t be at ease knowing that you’re living in this world.”
Before he could figure it out, the Demon God Seal in the sky suddenly landed.
However, it did not reach Chen Chen and instead landed on Xiao Hua’s forehead.
In an instant, Xiao Hua’s cultivation level began to increase and soon, it reached the middle-stage of the Void Refinement realm. Even the Thunder Tribulation didn’t appear.
Shengfan, who was beside her, also reached the Void Refinement realm quietly.
After the Demon God seal landed, Yao Qing looked at Chen Chen and parted her lips slightly. She said, “Ever since I awakened, I knew what my destiny was. This path will ultimately lead to death, but I don’t regret it. Chen Chen, even if you are now stronger than me, and I can’t kill you, so what? After all, you are one move behind me.”
Chen Chen’s expression changed drastically when he heard that, and he subconsciously wanted to retract his pal.
However, Yao Qing turned into her main body in an instant while her body began to disintegrate to countless branches and leaves that flew with the wind. All the plants in its path began to develop sentience.
Meanwhile, the golden-red demon flower withered away between heaven and earth.
However, a fist-sized fruit appeared in it.
This fruit was integrated into Chen Chen’s body right away.
Dong!
The familiar sound of a bell echoed in Chen Chen’s ears, and auspiciousness descended in the world, landing around Chen Chen.
Chen Chen looked at his right hand to see that the Adversity-Overcoming Seal had already vanished without a trace at this moment.
That demoness… actually chose to silence herself, and the heavens gave him credit for it.
Before he could continue to think any further, a massive wave of spiritual power emerged from his body like a volcanic eruption!
Boom!
With a muffled thud, Chen Chen felt that his cultivation level was skyrocketing beyond control.
Middle-stage of the Void Refinement realm…
Late-stage of the Void Refinement realm…
The peak of the Void Refinement realm!
In just two minutes, his cultivation level had reached the peak of Void Refinement!
“After you ascend, the strongest of this realm would be Botanic Demons. Actually…forget it, you and I are not the same.”
Hearing the voice floating in his ears, the voice was blown away by the wind.
Chen Chen looked up to the sky where countless overcast clouds were condensing.
It’s the Ascension Tribulation!
However, before the clouds could form, they were completely dispersed by the auspicious Qi from his body.
The seven-colored light descended from the sky and shone on him.
Many cultivators below cast envious glances at him.
In one day, he reached the peak of the Void Refinement realm from the early-stage Void Refinement realm. Due to the fact he had killed the Demon God, he was spared from the Great Tribulation of Ascension, what kind of heavenly chance was this?
However, Chen Chen had a bitter expression on his face.
The reason being, he didn’t want to ascend!
He still had too many emotional attachments to this world, that he couldn’t bear to part with but in this situation, he was no longer in control because his body had already floated upwards uncontrollably.
It was no longer the time to hesitate, he was running out of time in this realm!
With that thought, Chen Chen yelled at the Saintess of the Haoran Sword Clan and Yu Qiong who had just awakened, “Master, after this battle, banish the demon race to the Western territory of the demon race, and let a nine-tailed Heavenly Fox named Hu Xian’er manage it! From now on, rest and recuperate, don’t start another war! Also, take good care of Xishuang for me! I will strive to have the strength to return to the mortal realm before my child is born!”
The Saintess of the Haoran Sword Clan and Yu Qiong were both dumbfounded.
‘Chen Chen has yet to ascend, and he’s already thinking of returning to the lower realm before his child is born?’
Many elite cultivators of the human race and demon race had ascended in the past 10,000 years, but none of them had ever been able to return to the lower realm.
Sending one or two treasures back to the lower realm would already be considered an incredible move.
‘However…this kid is indeed quite extraordinary. He’s ascending at such a young age. It’s really unprecedented.’
‘In the future, he may really come back, but he would be dreaming if he wants to come back before his child is born.’
Before they could agree, Chen Chen turned around to look at Xiao Hua, Xiao Huang, and Shengfan.
He said, “The three of you remember, don’t forget why you started, only then will you reach the end. I’ve long taught you to differentiate between right and wrong!”
“Master!”
While crying, Xiao Hua tried to grab Chen Chen who was ascending slowly and whose figure had become illusory.
At the last moment, Chen Chen silently took out several communication tokens and sent several messages. He then tossed the Divine Condensation Pearl and a few storage rings to Yu Qiong.
“Divine Condensation Pearl? This kid…” Yu Qiong was angry but surprised. She was suddenly at a loss for words.
Chen Chen ignored her reaction and said to all the cultivators below with a solemn expression, “All of you, you’d better take care of yourselves, do not do anything wrong. I’ll be waiting for you in the upper realm.”
After saying that, he turned around, leaving his suave back to all the cultivators of human and demon races. He then completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
…
“Congratulations for ascending, Host. The tracking range has been increased to 5,000 meters. You are rewarded with one chance to track specified items within one realm and ten 5,000-kilometer tracking opportunities.”
