Chapter 525: Chapter 231: Annihilating Qin family Village! Primordial Barbaric Energy Upgrades Again!

Feng Wuji looked at Chen Xuan.

"Alright."

Chen Xuan nodded.

Feng Wuji immediately roared, "Everyone, follow me! We’re heading to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons!"

The crowd roared in response.

The vast procession took to the air once more, flying into the depths of the darkness.

This time, however, they flew due north.

The darkness to the north was clearly far denser than in any other direction.

The region seemed largely unexplored—desolate, forlorn, and deathly still. The darkness was so thick it was almost tangible, like sheets of black liquid floating in the air.

It exuded a repulsive, heart-pounding miasma.

Chen Xuan let out a cold snort. He spurred his Void Dragon Python to the very front of the formation, his body flashing with golden light as he activated his Unity of Heaven and Man to its fullest extent. Instantly, the darkness before him began to rapidly retreat.

The monsters that had been lurking in the depths of the darkness tucked their tails between their legs and fled the instant they saw Chen Xuan, vanishing far into the distance.

Both Chen Xuan’s aura and the Void Dragon Python beneath his feet filled them with terror.

This was especially true of the Void Dragon Python.

Their fear of the Void Dragon Python was bone-deep. Even a distant glance was enough to make their entire bodies tremble.

Their fear of Chen Xuan, however, was different.

To be precise, it wasn’t pure fear they felt toward Chen Xuan, but rather overwhelming revulsion.

They loathed his aura and yearned to tear him to shreds.

That was why in the past, even when Chen Xuan had activated his Unity of Heaven and Man, monsters would still extend their tentacles to test him, only fleeing in terror after being burned by the aura of the Celestial Dao.

And so, with Chen Xuan actively clearing the path, the great host followed in his wake.

Dazzling streaks of light tore through the darkness.

This caused the tide of darkness that permeated the area to recede as well.

The inhabitants of various cities and settlements, who had been struggling to survive in the darkness, were all stunned. They found the dense darkness overhead rapidly retreating, and then they saw countless streaks of light cut across the sky, flying high above their homes.

"What... what is that?"

"Gods, the darkness has receded!"

"What is that?"

"Holy shit! Look!"

Cries of alarm erupted from countless small towns and settlements.

The crowds were in an uproar.

Such a sight was destined to shock countless people.

After Chen Xuan and his group had traveled at top speed for the better part of a day, they finally arrived in the region of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

However, upon arriving at the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, everyone frowned once more. They stared at the area before them, their expressions a mixture of shock and suspicion.

On the desolate, dark-yellow earth, an ancient city stood silently. It was thousands of feet high, its color a heavy black, its aura oppressive.

In the past, it was a city where countless demons gathered, a stronghold for all manner of fiends.

At this moment, it was just as cold and desolate.

As far as the eye could see, there wasn’t a single demon or monster.

A sinister wind blew, its wail sharp and grating.

The entire city was unnervingly silent.

"They fled, too?"

Chu Shanhe frowned and sent a palm strike crashing down toward the city.

The earthy-yellow light slammed into the city with a thunderous RUMBLE, shattering numerous buildings.

The city remained deathly still. There wasn’t even a City Defense Array.

Feng Wuji, Xue Wanchuan, the Nine Heavens Elder, and the Wuuu family Patriarch all flew over, patrolling the sky.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, astride his Void Dragon Python, scanned the area below, golden light shooting from his eyes as he activated his Sun God’s Eye.

A few moments later, they gathered together again.

"..."

"They’ve fled. Not a single living creature left!"

"Damn it, they sure are fast runners. All sorts of things were just left scattered about!"

"It seems the Black Peng King’s gruesome death truly terrified these fiends!"

the leaders remarked.

But then again, it made sense.

The Black Peng King was a legendary, untouchable figure.

He had always been the source of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons’ confidence.

Now that he was suddenly dead, it would have been strange if the remaining demons and monsters hadn’t fled.

Qin family Village had been a special case. They didn’t dare to flee.

Because if they had, that Evil God would have finished them off first.

But that wasn’t the case for Sai family Village and the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

The moment they discovered their village leaders and the Demon King had been brutally killed, they had fled. They didn’t even dare to think about revenge.

At the very least, Chen Xuan couldn’t sense any malicious intent.

This meant that the fiends had suppressed any ill will as they fled.

This left Chen Xuan speechless.

"Looks like we came all this way for nothing."

Chen Xuan’s eyes continued to scan the area. "They’ve taken pretty much all the treasure, too," he said. "What’s left is nothing but scrap metal."

"So what do we do? Head back now, or rest for a bit?"

Feng Wuji asked.

"We can rest for a bit. We’ve been traveling nonstop and haven’t gotten much rest anyway,"

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Alright, let’s go down and rest for a bit!"

Feng Wuji nodded lightly. He looked at the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, head down! We’ll rest and regroup on the ground!"

SWOOSH!

The crowd swarmed down like a torrential downpour.

It was impossible for them not to be curious about the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

Who among them, all inhabitants of the outer darkness, hadn’t heard of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons? It was the most forbidden of forbidden lands, its danger on par with any of the ancient villages.

And now, here they were, standing right inside the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons’ main stronghold?

Many people immediately began to scavenge the area.

But unfortunately, it was just as Chen Xuan had said.

Scarcely a single treasure remained.

A full search revealed nothing but junk.

Moreover, there wasn’t a single living creature.

The speed at which the demons had slipped away exceeded everyone’s expectations.

There certainly wasn’t some clichéd scene of a weak little demon hiding in the shadows...

After landing, Chen Xuan felt a twinge of regret and glanced at his retribution points again.

Retribution Points: 1,167,800

’Without the boost from Sai family Village and the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, it’ll be impossible for me to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm anytime soon with just the retribution points I have now.’
