More than half a year has passed since the end of the Universal Holy War, and Jun Changxiao has been hiding in the Tianluo Realm the entire time.
Why?
He’s afraid of running into the Heavenly Demon Emperor head-on.
Now he has no choice but to leave, because Ye Xingchen, who went out to search for medicinal ingredients, has encountered trouble.
This trouble isn’t a conflict with anyone, but rather he discovered the needed medicinal materials in a certain dimension, only to find them protected by all sorts of bizarre demon beasts.
If there were only one or two, Night Emperor could easily handle them, but there are simply too many.
So.
He could only call the sect for help.
“Let’s go.”
Upon learning of this, Jun Changxiao immediately announced: “Head to the dimension where Xingchen is located.”
“Whoosh—”
In an extremely inconspicuous valley within the Tianluo Realm, an extremely inconspicuous grain of sand suddenly transformed into the Eternal, its tail spouting flames as it shot toward the spatial barrier of the firmament.
“Will the Heavenly Demon Emperor be waiting outside?” Gu Tianxing worried.
Jun Changxiao calmly replied: “If he were, Xingchen would have called for help already.”
“Good point!”
Gu Tianxing immediately relaxed.
Sure enough, when the Eternal flew out of the Tianluo Realm and merged into the cosmic starry sky, everything went extremely smoothly.
“Not bad.”
Jun Changxiao said: “At least he’s willing to accept his bet and admit defeat.”
“In my opinion,” Gu Tianxing said, “the Heavenly Demon Emperor probably has matters to handle, which is why he hasn’t had time to deal with us.”
He guessed correctly!
With so many of his adopted sons dying at the hands of Eternal Sect disciples, the Heavenly Demon Emperor definitely wouldn’t let this go. At first, he was indeed waiting outside the Tianluo Realm, ready to crush Jun Changxiao the moment he appeared. But after waiting just a few days, his backyard caught fire.
Not exactly his backyard, but rather a relatively important branch headquarters was suddenly destroyed by the Night King Alliance.
Jun Changxiao had also eliminated many of the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s subordinates and even killed King Galuo, but that was ultimately just guerrilla warfare. Having a branch headquarters destroyed meant the other side was openly provoking and declaring war.
“Courting death!”
Upon receiving the news, the Heavenly Demon Emperor immediately led his subordinates to the destroyed branch.
In his view, Jun Changxiao was nothing more than a cowardly dog—no matter how much he barked, he couldn’t make any waves.
The Night King Alliance was different. This organization had already grown in power, and they dared to destroy his branch. If he tolerated this, who knows when they might strike at headquarters.
He must severely punish them, he must destroy them.
From another perspective, the Night King Alliance’s sudden attack actually made Jun Changxiao safer hiding in the Tianluo Realm.
If Dog Leftovers knew about this, he’d definitely break into spontaneous song: “Good teammates, better than divine assists, dream assists are so fragrant, you bring the assist with you, blue sky white clouds green mountains clear waters…”
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In a certain dimension, in a certain primitive mountain forest.
Ye Xingchen flew out magnificently and became embedded in the mountain, his face twisted in a ferocious expression.
The camera shows the scene ahead—this area extending dozens of miles had no more vegetation or mountain rocks, only craters and flying dust, with space twisted and shattered, clearly having endured tremendous bombardment.
“Human.”
A sharp voice rang out from opposite Night Emperor: “You truly are stubborn beyond reason.”
The speaker was a massive demon beast resembling a dinosaur.
Its entire body seemed covered in a layer of glass, emanating an aura of indestructibility, with two bulging eyeballs that looked extremely frightening.
This was a Fortified Glazed Dragon.
In terms of species rarity, it could rival the Nine-Horned Thunder Cloud Dragon.
Such demon beasts are typically companion beasts.
Just as the Nine-Layer Thunder Cloud birthed the Nine-Horned Thunder Cloud Dragon, Fortified Glazed Stone birthed the Fortified Glazed Dragon.
These beasts born alongside ore have extremely strong defenses and considerable strength, possessing power equivalent to a human Half-Step Heavenly Mystery Realm cultivator.
Moreover.
There wasn’t just one!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The earth shook and dust flew.
Eight Fortified Glazed Dragons approached with heavy footsteps, their builds and released auras identical, clearly indicating similar strength levels.
No wonder Ye Xingchen was beaten down, no wonder he called the sect for help.
“Boss.”
One dragon beast drooled as it said: “This human has considerable strength, his flesh must be quite delicious.”
“Let me state first, I want to eat his head!”
“I’ll eat his hands!”
Several Fortified Glazed Dragons began discussing how to eat him.
“…”
Ye Xingchen clutched his chest, his eyes fixed on the distant piece of Fortified Glazed Stone.
This was an extremely important primary ingredient in the pregnancy-stabilizing formula. Even knowing eight Fortified Glazed Dragons protected it would be dangerous, he ultimately still chose to attempt seizing it.
As long as he could protect his own flesh and blood, even if the path ahead led to a hellish cliff, he would jump down without hesitation.
Night Emperor.
A true man indeed.
“It’s decided then. I’ll eat his torso, the rest is yours.” After the Fortified Glazed Dragons finished discussing, they simultaneously turned their ugly eyeballs to look… but the person had disappeared!
“Not good!”
They all turned their heads and saw Ye Xingchen transforming into flowing light, charging toward the Fortified Glazed Stone.
On his path, crimson light erupted. Demonized Lu Bu riding Red Hare appeared, raising his Sky Piercer halberd, coldly declaring: “Whoever comes, dies…”
“Boom!”
Before the words finished, a massive foot directly pressed down.
“Pft!”
The heroic soul was defeated. Ye Xingchen suffered backlash and immediately spat blood, but still suppressed his more serious injuries to charge toward the Fortified Glazed Stone.
At this moment, only one thought filled his consciousness: I must obtain this stone. Not even the King of Heaven himself can stop me, let alone a few dragon beasts!
One meter.
Two meters…
With his terrifying willpower sustaining him, Ye Xingchen finally approached the Fortified Glazed Stone. He then raised his blood-stained hands and pressed them against it, preparing to use his spiritual sense to collect it into his spatial ring.
“Detestable human!”
“Don’t you dare touch our treasure!”
The eight Fortified Glazed Dragons’ eyes flashed with fury. Some spewed flames from their mouths, others raised their feet to stomp down.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Buzz buzz!”
Space shattered, heaven and earth shook!
“…” Sensing various forces erupting from behind him, Ye Xingchen’s heart surged with an intense aura of death.
When a disciple finds himself in a life-or-death situation, according to the author’s usual style, Jun Changxiao will definitely arrive with everyone, especially since the previous chapter emphasized the power of Celestial Sound—this chapter is perfect for showing off.
That’s right!
Dog Leftovers has arrived with his disciples!
“Whoosh—”
As the Eternal cut through the void at super-fast speed and merged into the dimension where the Fortified Glazed Dragons resided, the elemental properties existing within, the flowers, grass, and trees all seemed to begin trembling.
Regrettably.
They were still a step too late.
The brutal battle had already ended. In the area where the Fortified Glazed Stone had disappeared, various craters from cannon bombardment and massive footprints remained.
The eight rare dragon beasts looked at each other, too confused to notice that a warship had flown in.
“Boom!”
The Eternal stopped above the ruins, the cabin quickly opening.
Jun Changxiao walked out furiously, the high-ranking disciples following behind him equally filled with killing intent.
The Eternal’s star map had been continuously providing Ye Xingchen’s coordinates, but they suddenly cut off and disappeared just moments ago, making them immediately realize—were they too late? Was Xingchen already…
“Sect Master!”
Li Qingyang forcefully suppressed his grief and said: “Junior Brother Ye should have fought here!”
Jun Changxiao kept his head lowered the entire time. Only when he felt Ye Xingchen’s lingering aura on the battlefield growing weaker and weaker did he finally raise his head with a ferocious expression, his eyes blood-red as he declared: “Tear them to shreds!”
“…”
The eight Fortified Glazed Dragons were scared out of their wits.
At that moment, this human’s gaze was like… demon eyes!
Standing behind him, that group of gradually darkening warriors were like demon servants walking out from hell itself!
It’s over.
We’re done for!
