Chapter 1442 - 1441: Secrets of the Demon Way

Chapter 1442: Chapter 1441: Secrets of the Demon Way

Ling Chen, upon hearing this, recalled the events that happened earlier. Indeed, back at the Emperor’s Tomb, Dao Yi True Immortal tried to seize the Wood Emperor Order from Xuannv’s hand but was ultimately thwarted. It seems these people have an unexpected obsession with the Void Emperor’s royal decree.

"Why are the Demonic Path Followers so obsessed with the Void Emperor’s royal decree?"

Ling Chen sensed complexity behind this. If it were only for the power of the Void Emperor’s royal decree itself, it should not have incited such fervor in each era’s demonic sects, orchestrating massive campaigns just to seize one Void Emperor’s royal decree with such dedication.

"Probably, this involves a major secret hidden within the Void Emperor’s royal decree."

The Cyan-robed Guest shook his head, then looked at Cloud Monarch, "Maybe Senior Cloud Monarch knows something."

Cloud Monarch, a figure who has lived for thousands of years, presumably had more understanding of the Demonic Powers on Tianyuan Continent than they did.

"Well, frankly, I’m not too sure either."

Unexpectedly, Cloud Monarch also shook his head, "I haven’t interacted with the Demonic Path Followers much. I only know that they tend to be very secretive, and many times, the demonic sects have suffered heavy blows but always manage to resurrect from the ashes. Moreover, they can quickly rebuild and grow strong, becoming a powerful force influencing the entire continent."

Ling Chen nodded, "Warriors cultivating the Demon Way appear in every era, probably very difficult to eradicate."

"That is indeed one reason."

Cloud Monarch slightly furrowed his brow, "However, I feel there might be a mysterious power behind them assisting them, allowing them to rebuild their sect and regain strength within a short time, even when heavily injured or in dire straits."

"A mysterious power?"

Ling Chen and the Cyan-robed Guest practically exclaimed at the same time. The demonic forces on Tianyuan Continent were already immensely powerful, and there was still a mysterious power behind them?

This seemed impossible.

"I’m merely speculating."

Cloud Monarch shook his head, "The waters of the demonic powers run deep. Even the former me couldn’t figure it out, and eventually, I gave up."

"However, one thing is certain, they aim to collect the Void Emperor’s royal decree for an earth-shattering conspiracy. As for what this conspiracy is, I’m afraid it’s up to you to investigate."

Ling Chen nodded. The information conveyed in Cloud Monarch’s words was substantial. It seemed he had previously underestimated the demonic powers on the continent. Even though he thought the Human Demon Hall was strong, it might not be comparable to the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao of the Eight Great Sects.

Yet now, it seems that may not necessarily be the case.

"This Golden Emperor’s Order has been given to you, how to use it is up to you. Now that the legacy of Cloud Monarch has been entrusted to you, the mission of this avatar of mine is accomplished."

Cloud Monarch’s gaze fell on Ling Chen, then his eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly, "But before that, we probably have some matters to address."

"What matters?"

Ling Chen was puzzled.

Without further words, Cloud Monarch waved his palm, and the space ahead suddenly distorted, revealing an illusory scene.

In the scene, what appeared was the area outside the temple, but the sight within the scene made Ling Chen’s face change color abruptly.

In his sight was a scene resembling Shura Purgatory, where Beichuan Ye, Liusheng Zongyan, and Fengmo Thirteen among Yingzhou’s powerhouses were embroiled. At this moment, they were battling with a group of devil qi-laden people in black. Judging from the battle scene, the situation seemed quite bleak, with the vast majority caught in fierce combat. Among these people in black, there were a few distinctly formidable figures whose cultivation likely exceeded the Saint Dao Sixfold Realm, striking with thunderous force repeatedly, killing one Yingzhou powerhouse after another with no suspense, just like a massacre.

Under such slaughter-like carnage, the region within the scene was filled with blood, corpses piled, blood flowing like rivers!

"It’s the Human Demon Hall people!"

Ling Chen’s pupils slightly contracted. Among the devil qi-laden black figures, he suddenly saw a familiar face, a woman with an enchanting face and fiery figure wrapped in black, none other than the Flower Demon he encountered at the Emperor’s Tomb.

This woman was Dao Yi True Immortal’s trusted subordinate. Her presence here indicated that Dao Yi True Immortal was likely nearby.

They were just discussing the Tianyuan Continent’s demonic powers, unexpectedly, these people had already come up to them. Unsurprisingly, these Human Demon Hall people were most probably here for the Golden Emperor’s Order in his possession!

"The opponent is well-prepared this time."

Ling Chen’s gaze became extremely solemn. With such a lineup from the Human Demon Hall, even if he and the Cyan-robed Guest went out now, they might not be able to handle it...

"Don’t worry, here, it’s not their turn to act impudently, even if it’s just an avatar!" Yunzhongyang Red Army said calmly, his voice infused with the pride and overbearing style belonging to this former top-level strongman in the world.

"Then please, senior, take action!" Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and he responded in a deep voice.

Cloud Monarch nodded slightly, "However, this avatar doesn’t have a physical form. If it were to destroy these Demonic Path Followers, it might need to borrow your body."

Ling Chen immediately clasped his hands, "To eradicate demons, I would do it without hesitation!"

To unleash the full power of Cloud Monarch’s avatar, the best method was to possess the body of a strong warrior. Although the Cyan-robed Guest’s strength was greater, Ling Chen was undoubtedly the best choice because he had just received Cloud Monarch’s legacy, and the avatar’s power wouldn’t face rejection from Ling Chen’s body, allowing it to perfectly manifest its strength.

With Ling Chen’s consent, Cloud Monarch’s body transformed into a beam of white light, shooting straight into Ling Chen’s chest. His body stiffened abruptly at this moment, as an indescribable majestic aura, like that of a former supreme power in the world, began to awaken slowly.

The overwhelming aura swept across, and Cloud Monarch’s low voice came from within Ling Chen’s body.

"Ling Chen, next, I’ll show you the true power a Void Emperor’s royal decree possesses! You better watch closely!"

At the moment the voice echoed, an eddy also appeared out of thin air, enveloping the figures of the three, and then gradually dissipating.

Boom!

Thick black clouds came enveloping the sky, occupying the entire world. Under the vast expanse of the black cloud, the whole world was exceptionally dark, completely devoid of light.

At this moment, Beichuan Ye, Liusheng Zongyan, Tu Yumen, various prominent Yingzhou families, and the Star Palace Shrine and Glacier Shrine, among other formidable entities, all looked grimly at this sight, their bodies continuously retreating while being pressured by the three powerful demonic shadows in the mid-air, continuously stepping back.

Such a lineup was certainly not something they could handle.
