Chapter 389: Chapter 201: Locking On the Divine Fetus! A Punch Descending From the Sky

And after the royal ancestor learned that he and Chen Xuan had met once...

They’d even gone so far as to prepare the position of Crown Prince for him.

"Elder Chen, this Blackwater Mystic Grotto is something of a local wonder. Once every ten years, on the night of the full moon, the sound of a wailing flute can be heard from within these black waters. Afterward, the turbulent waters slowly part under some mysterious power, revealing a black passage... I don’t know what the depths of that passage look like, but I do know that there are countless opportunities inside. Every time the Blackwater Mystic Grotto appears, it attracts many powerful experts."

Zhao Qian continued, "For many years, the Blackwater Mystic Grotto has been firmly controlled by four factions: the Lan family, the Yun family, the Heavenly Spirit Hall, and the Blood Hall. Anyone else who wants to enter must have the approval of all four."

"And what if you don’t have their approval?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Well... I’m not entirely sure."

Zhao Qian laughed awkwardly.

If you didn’t get their approval, you’d have to fight your way in.

After all, ordinary people certainly couldn’t afford to cross them.

"Fair enough."

Chen Xuan smiled.

He was just deliberately teasing him.

So-called opportunities were just things to be taken by force.

Why should the four major factions get to monopolize all the spots?

It was all because they had the bigger fist!

Might makes right.

’We’re here. Time to go ashore!’

Chen Xuan’s eyes flashed as he looked ahead.

"Elder Chen, my home isn’t far from here. Why don’t you come over for a visit?"

Zhao Qian offered.

"No need. I’m here to kill someone. I can’t afford a moment’s delay!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was calm, but golden flames were already appearing in the depths of his jet-black pupils.

The Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2) in his mind reacted again.

Shockwaves pulsed through his mind.

Target locked!

I’ve found him!

SWOOSH!

With a flicker, his body shot directly toward the shore at extreme speed.

The monk and the Daoist priest looked startled and quickly followed.

"Can he really sense him?"

"How strange... Quick, let’s follow!"

...

Zhao Qian’s expression shifted, and he hurriedly paddled faster towards the shore.

’Forget it. Since he doesn’t want to come to my home, I should just get out of here.’

’Best not to linger in a place of trouble.’

...

「At that very moment.」

Within a dark, secluded building.

The Divine Fetus was still seated cross-legged in his room, wreathed in divine light.

Layer upon layer of golden halos, like a sun, supplied him with an endless stream of power.

He felt his strength transforming with every passing moment, with every breath.

"Excellent, excellent. Truly worthy of a natural-born Divine Fetus. This body is simply too powerful... far too powerful."

The Divine Fetus smiled; the more he settled into this body, the more powerful he felt.

Previously, when he had just shed his form from within the ancient corpse, his strength was only close to that of an Outer Saint.

But now, after just one day, his injuries had all stabilized, and his foundation was completely solidified.

At this rate, he could officially reach the Outer Saint realm in less than three days.

Once he became an Outer Saint and then secured the opportunities within the Blackwater Mystic Grotto, his power would soar once more.

By then...

It would be time for him to personally find Chen Xuan and settle the score.

"Yama Chen, oh Yama Chen, I hope you can still recognize me the next time we meet."

The Divine Fetus smiled.

A knock came from outside the room.

"Come in!"

CREAK!

The door opened, and the middle-aged man in the black robe walked in again. His voice was heavy as he said, "Young Master, the list of people entering the Blackwater Mystic Grotto is more or less set. The Lan family’s old ancestor will also be going."

"Him?"

The Divine Fetus raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "An old fossil who refuses to die, still wants to compete with the younger generation for opportunities? He should just die and get it over with!"

"Although the Lan family’s old ancestor is near the end of his life, he should still be able to exert power comparable to an Outer Saint Peak. With him entering, I’m afraid he will cause us considerable trouble!"

the black-robed man said.

"It’s fine. We’ll do our best to avoid a direct confrontation with him."

The Divine Fetus said coldly, "The Blackwater Mystic Grotto isn’t a place where the strongest can do as they please. It’s all about destiny. This divine body of mine was born under the favor of the Celestial Dao. Fate is on my side, not his. No matter how strong he is, he will ultimately end up with nothing. Beneath the Celestial Dao, all are but ants. What right does he have to compete with me?"

"...Yes, Young Master!"

The black-robed man nodded. "There is one more thing. Your fiancée, Yun Cai’Er, will also be entering the Blackwater Mystic Grotto this time. Would you like to meet with her?"

"Yun Cai’Er?"

The Divine Fetus’s eyes darted as an image of a woman appeared in his mind. A smile crept onto his face. "She’s reached the Inner Realm?"

"Yes, the Inner Realm Sixth Layer."

"Very well. Then I’ll go see her."

The Divine Fetus smiled and rose from the bed.

Decades ago, a childhood betrothal had been arranged in his name, yet she had never even met him, her future husband.

The two left the room, one after the other, and headed outside.

But just at that moment!

Suddenly, an immense sense of crisis welled up in their hearts, causing both of their expressions to change as they abruptly looked up.

To be precise, it wasn’t just their expressions that changed.

Rather, it was the expression of every single person in the entire estate that changed.

At this moment, everyone clearly sensed an invisible and terrifyingly hot aura that suddenly descended, boundless and turbulent, instantly blanketing the entire residence.

The black-robed man and the Divine Fetus’s pupils both contracted as they looked toward the sky.

High above.

A brilliant light appeared.

It was like a great sun appearing in the sky, dazzling and magnificent.

Swathes of golden light, laced with dazzling lightning, warped the heavens and made the sky itself seem to pale in comparison...

"Chen Xuan!!"

The Divine Fetus cried out in alarm, finding it utterly unbelievable.

’How is this possible?’

’How could this possibly be?’

’Why is Chen Xuan here?’

’What’s more—’

’His aura!’

At this moment, even the Divine Fetus was terrified and trembling.

He had transcended from demonic to divine, was favored by the heavens, and had been born gathering fortune from all directions. He was, by all rights, the world’s most favored child, and he faced everyone with supreme confidence.

But at this moment, he felt the fortune around him rapidly dissipating. The Power of the Heavenly Dao that had once blessed him was also quickly vanishing...

It was as if he were just a clown.

And Chen Xuan, high in the sky, was the true Crown Prince of the Celestial Dao!

The instant they encountered Chen Xuan, all of the Power of the Heavenly Dao had abandoned him and surged toward the man in the sky.

"This is impossible!"

The Divine Fetus let out a sharp cry, as if the thing he was most proud of had been stomped to pieces.

’I am the favored child of the Celestial Dao!’

’So why is the Celestial Dao helping a usurper and not me?!’

"Protect the Young Master! The rest of you, with me! We’ll face this foe!"

The black-robed man let out a sudden, earth-shattering roar. An incredibly terrifying aura exploded from his body as he shot into the air, charging toward Chen Xuan.

At the same time, three figures shot out from the estate, all charging murderously into the sky.

Without exception, all were Outer Saints!

Each one’s aura flared, burning like a pyre!

Everyone pushed their strength to the absolute limit!

High in the sky.

A smirk played on Chen Xuan’s lips. Golden flames burned in his eyes. All around him, lightning and golden fire seethed and boiled, and the mighty Power of the Heavenly Dao nearly filled his body to bursting.

’At my current level of Outer Saint Fifth Layer!’

’Add in all these buffs, plus Unity of Heaven and Man!’

’And this school of small fry thinks they can resist me?’

BOOM!

Chen Xuan smashed a fist downward.

Instantly, a fiery light tore through the darkness. It carried an unparalleled aura as it slammed down below, like some magnificent, terrifying golden world descending—a sight beyond description.
