The Devil Plain was very quiet now. Who would know that millions of soldiers were buried here and that there was a few ancient caves suppressed by the Heavenly Stele?
Even more so, no one would know that the Buddha was nailed to death here in his previous life. No one would know that Laozi was smashed into mincemeat here in his previous life.
Although a new Fiendgod civilization was born, no one would know that a person called Xiao Chen once slaughtered everyone here and splashed the paradise with his blood.
In the end, this place was full of secrets, and it was all because of that Heavenly Stele. It suppressed all directions and gathered the winds and clouds from all directions.
The Cypreus Furnace was no longer here. It was originally a world that Suirenshi left behind, but it was taken away by Hongjun. But in the end, it was killed by Yanhuang and taken back. Xiao Chen's group of four went deep underground. Naturally, they couldn't see the hell of the past anymore. However, there was a bizarre space here that flickered indefinitely.
This was an independent space that formed a world of its own. There were three bottomless black holes in the center, as if they were connected to the edge of the universe. There was a bizarre magical power that seemed to be able to swallow everyone's mind.
However, the Heavenly Stele was no longer here. There were only a few deep holes left. It was pitch-black and unfathomable.
"I don't know where it led to in the past, but it's clear where it leads to today."
Xiao Chen stood in front of a black hole and sighed.
"A world of death?"
Hydra asked.
"There is an Immemorial Demon City in front of every deep hole. However, the people inside should have been suppressed by the Heavenly Stele until they were almost destroyed. Let's go and open an ancient city now."
Mang Chen was very calm when he said these words. After his strength reached a certain level, he finally dared to make a move against the Immemorial Demon City alone.
He took the lead and calmly stepped into a black hole. Tenax, Slaughter Vanquisher Wolf, and Hydra followed closely behind.
After passing through the barrier of the big world, they arrived at the world of the dead. It was dusky in front of the black hole. A strange mist shrouded the earth, making it hazy. A huge city was faintly discernible in front.
"There really is an Immemorial Demon City. Can we … make a move against it?"
Slaughter Vanquisher Wolf felt that it was unreal.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "We can give it a try."
Perhaps he could achieve what he couldn't before now.
However, he was regretful that the Heaven Stele was gone. He originally came here to search for Tian Hen, but now he could only start from the Ancient Demon City.
"Today, I'm going to detain that almost-dead stone man and interrogate him."
When Xiao Chen said all this, he was filled with strong confidence. After ten thousand years of bitter cultivation, today was the day to show off the results.
As the four of them walked forward, they could vaguely see a vast expanse of whiteness on the ground that was covered in gray mist, as if pure white snow had piled up on the ground.
However, when he took a step forward, there was a surge of white dust, like a surging mist. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was bone powder.
It was a scene that made people's expressions change. The area around the Supreme Ancient Devil City was vast, but it was completely covered in bone powder. It was unknown how deep it was.
The Nine-Headed Snake sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "In the past, there must have been a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones here. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to create this boundless snow-white world. The white bones have been eroded by the passage of time and turned into powder, yet it is still so vast. One can imagine just how terrifying the scene back then was."
As of now, Xiao Chen already knew all kinds of secrets about the fire seed creatures. A Sovereign King needed a large amount of white bones to advance to the next rank. If one wanted to become an Ancestral Monarch, they would need the sacrifice of an endless number of fire seed creatures. And some Ancestral Monarchs liked to use forbidden techniques to refine millions of skeletons to reinforce the area around the giant city.
In the past, there were Sovereign Kings continuously summoning white bone creatures in the depths of the world of death because of this.
However, under the tempering of time and the suppression of the Heavenly Stele, everything here was no longer as flourishing as it was in the past.
In this place, the stoneman in the Supreme Ancient Devil City was obviously a failure. Now, it was almost completely destroyed. The arrival of Xiao Chen's group had already posed a serious threat to it. However, the stoneman still hadn't sensed it and hadn't woken up from its slumber yet.
Xiao Chen soared into the sky with one step and hovered above the Supreme Ancient Devil City. He didn't use any treasures and just grabbed at the ancient city with his bare hands.
"Kacha …"
The hard ground at the center of the Supreme Ancient Devil City was instantly crushed. Xiao Chen broke through the cornerstone.
"Roar …"
A furious roar resounded. The sleeping stoneman was startled awake and rushed out from the depths of the demon city. This was an extremely tattered stoneman. It was half stone and half bone. Many parts of it had already decayed. It seemed like it would collapse on the ground with just a gentle blow.
However, Xiao Chen didn't dare to underestimate it. After all, this was a stoneman. If it really went all out, it might erupt with an unimaginable power.
Xiao Chen still didn't take out any treasures. He wanted to fight it with his bare hands to test his combat prowess.
"Why did you disturb my slumber?"
The tattered stoneman seemed to have sensed danger. It stopped roaring and shot out two beams of golden light from its eyes.
"You refined millions of white bone creatures. I can tell that you are not a kind person. Even if I kill you, I will not feel guilty. However, I will give you a chance. Tell me where the Heavenly Stele flew to, and I can turn around and leave.
"If the Heavenly Stele did not block my path, I would have already arrived in the nine provinces and borrowed the essence of the billions of lives there to take the final step."
This tattered stoneman was filled with boundless regret and unwillingness.
"You want to borrow the essence of billions of lives to take the final step? If you don't even have confidence in yourself, it is impossible for you to succeed."
Xiao Chen's murderous intent soared. This stoneman was unscrupulous. He actually had such thoughts. He deserved to die. He shouted, "Where did the Heavenly Stele fly to?"
"I don't know. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."
The tattered stoneman revealed a sinister smile. His flame of life was about to extinguish. He had already given up and would not compromise. He was like an old bull among the wild bulls. He was the most dangerous.
"How unfortunate. If I could go back a thousand years, I would just turn around and leave when I see you. However, your flame of life is about to extinguish. Your actual combat prowess is only at the Seventh Heaven Ancestor God Realm. You can no longer be called a stoneman expert.
Two beams of golden light shot out from Xiao Chen's eyes. They traveled up the river of time and broke through the source of time, understanding everything.
"The Ninth Heaven's Delusion-breaker Eyes?"
The tattered stoneman immediately froze. Two beams of golden light shot out from its eyes at Xiao Chen as well.
"Ding …"
Xiao Chen gently flicked his finger, and the two beams of light struck the two beams of light. Instantly, there was a string of resplendent sparks. It was like a meteor shower falling from the sky.
Immediately, gray fog surged, and cracks appeared in the land of death. White bone dust filled the air.
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
Xiao Chen shouted.
The half-stone, half-bone stoneman answered Xiao Chen with his actions. A half-petrified bone saber pointed at the sky and shot out a resplendent beam of light.
"Bang …"
Xiao Chen stretched out a finger and sent out a resplendent beam of light, which shattered the light beam. Then, he descended into the ancient city.
"You dare to look down on me?"
The stoneman's tone was cold. Xiao Chen directly entered the Immemorial Demon City as if he was not afraid of the stoneman controlling the city.
"Sealing the Heavens and Surrounding the Earth!"
The tattered stoneman's figure vanished like a swan. The Immemorial Demon City completely sealed itself off. Surging demonic clouds covered the sky. He wanted to refine Xiao Chen in the city.
"Very well. Let's see if you refine me or if I refine you!"
Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged in the city and started to resist the Demon City, testing his combat prowess.
Even though the stoneman had regressed and his combat prowess had fallen to the Seventh Heaven Ancestor God Realm, he could use the huge city to raise his potential, igniting the flame of life in the Immemorial Demon City.
The Immemorial Demon City shook violently. Flickering light completely encased the entire region.
"Weng, Ga, Ah, Hou, Moo, Duo …"
Just at this time, Xiao Chen suddenly used the Eight Origin Sounds. The vast heavenly sound was earth-shattering. The Death Continent trembled, and the Immemorial Demon City shook even more violently.
The two of them carried out their peak confrontation. The heavenly sound and the Demon City clashed, creating a rumbling sound.
Tenax, Chrysus, and the others retreated very far away and watched the battle from the sky.
Fifteen minutes later, the Eight Origin Sounds were like the sound of creation. They became even more resounding, as if they came from thousands of years ago, when the world was first created.
"Crack! Crack!"
The Immemorial Demon City slowly cracked. The overflowing black mist gradually dispersed, and the black light that filled the sky slowly dispersed. Thousands upon thousands of cracks appeared on the huge city. It would collapse at any time.
"Bang …"
Just at this time, the tattered stoneman soared into the sky. He wanted to abandon the Immemorial Demon City and flee into the distance.
However, an illusory figure appeared in the sky silently. Xiao Chen was sitting cross-legged, blocking the stoneman's path.
"Swish …"
The tattered stoneman shifted its position and traversed through space. It wanted to escape in another direction. However, Xiao Chen controlled the Eightfold Worlds. In terms of movement techniques, he could be said to be the best in the world.
Noiselessly, he shattered the space and appeared out of thin air. He once again blocked the stoneman's path. He sat cross-legged quietly like a stone statue.
After several attacks, the stoneman found it hard to escape. Under the swift and fierce attacks of the Eight Origin Sounds, its body cracked unceasingly. In the end, Xiao Chen stretched out his big hand and slapped it into the Demon City with a bang.
At a distant place, the Vanquisher Wolf and the Hydra were envious. This kind of combat power really made them envious.
Just at this time, Xiao Chen called Tenax to enter the Immemorial Demon City.
"Although this stoneman's flame of life is about to extinguish and his divine power has declined to the lowest point, he still contains boundless potential. I will offer him as a living sacrifice to help you build your foundation!"
Hearing Xiao Chen's voice transmission, the Vanquisher Wolf and the Hydra were even more envious.
Tenax hesitated for a moment, then it flew into the city. Its strength had already reached a bottleneck. Perhaps it needed some external help.
"Boom … …"
Just at the next moment, the entire Immemorial Demon City suddenly lit up. It was like a huge light source. Xiao Chen offered that dilapidated stoneman as a living sacrifice. Boundless life essence was condensed towards Tenax.
The originally pitch-black huge city was now resplendent with gold and jade. It was dazzling and illuminated this piece of land. After that, it almost became transparent.
One could clearly see one divine splendor after another converging towards Tenax. That dilapidated stoneman was melting like ice and snow. It gradually dimmed and finally crumbled.
While crossing the city, Xiao Chen used his great magic power to forcefully extract its memories.
"You want to obtain my origin? That's impossible!"
"Boom … …"
The stoneman destroyed its own divine source and destroyed its own sea of consciousness. Immediately, boundless soul power surged out and shook in all directions. The entire Immemorial Demon City was about to collapse.
"Weng, Ge, Ah, Hou, Moo, Duo … …"
Xiao Chen quickly vibrated the Eight Origin Sounds to suppress the storm in the stoneman's shattered sea of consciousness. He extracted the fragments of the stoneman's soul unceasingly, and at the same time, the sacrificial process became even faster.
All the divine power did not disperse. It was just that he could not completely read the stoneman's memories. However, Xiao Chen was very fortunate to grasp the "Stoneman Technique". He grasped another great technique that could lead him to the highest realm. In the future, if he were to tread on the path of a stoneman, he would have one more reference.
At the same time, he extracted a portion of the stoneman's memories. The Heavenly Monument had flown away, and the stoneman had no idea where it went.
This lasted for no less than six hours. Tenax let out a dragon roar and transformed into an Ancestral Dragon as it soared into the sky. Its majestic dragon body was as long as several dozen miles. This was its real body. The pressure was even heavier, it was like an endless ancient mountain range.
Tenax rushed to the Seventh Celestial Layer of War Ancestor. Its strength had increased by one level. The most important thing was that its physical body had become even sturdier. It was almost as if it was immortal. That was because most of the power of this demon city was also refined by Xiao Chen into its body.
As for the remaining half of the divine city, it collapsed to the ground with a loud rumble. The surging dust and smoke covered the sky.
Naturally, Xiao Chen would not waste it. He sat cross-legged in the sky. A radiance flickered between his palm and fingers. An ancient city the size of a palm appeared and descended in an instant.
A bird's radiance soared into the sky. The remnants of the Immemorial Demon City were completely absorbed by the palm-sized ancient city. That small city seemed to weigh millions of tons. It possessed an unfathomable power. It refined the remaining half of the city in an instant and reinforced its own city.
This palm-sized ancient city had already absorbed the essence of several Immemorial Demon Cities. It even swallowed a portion of the Stoneman King's city in the Heavenly Realm. It had already reached a horrifying level a long time ago. It was already not far from the King's Divine City.
This was Xiao Chen's backup plan for when he tread on the path of the stoneman in the future!
Not long after, Xiao Chen and the others retreated from this black hole and arrived in front of another cave.
They walked into another vast space. It was still connected to the world of death, but it was already in a different region.
Black mist pervaded the air. The aura of death was very dense. Black clouds lingered outside the huge demon city.
"The stoneman in this demon city has most likely already extinguished his life force … …"
Tenax came to such a conclusion.
"That's right. The aura of death lingering around the huge city, but there is only a little bit of life force fluctuation inside the city. He is about to turn into dust."
Xiao Chen also came to the same conclusion.
"This time … … are we going to sacrifice a stoneman for us?"
Killing Vanquishing Wolf's eyes emitted green light. He really wanted to make a breakthrough.
"Sure."
Xiao Chen agreed without any hesitation. In fact, it was just as he expected. This stoneman was in a deep slumber. It was already hard for him to wake up. When he read its memories, the stoneman flew into a rage and shattered its origin.
Everything went smoothly. Without using the war chariot, Xiao Chen already performed the sacred sacrifice on this stoneman. Killing Vanquishing Wolf and the nine-headed snake both obtained great benefits.
"Sob … … I reached the Seventh Celestial Layer of the Sovereign King Realm, but I'm still far away from the Ancestor Realm."
Killing Vanquishing Wolf was happy and regretful at the same time. In the end, he didn't advance to the next realm.
The nine-headed snake was a little stronger than him. It had already stepped into the Eighth Celestial Layer of the Half Ancestor Realm.
"You useless trash. You only advanced to the Seventh Celestial Layer of the Sovereign King Realm after refining so much essence … …"
Xiao Chen was very speechless.
Soon after, this Immemorial Demon City was also refined and absorbed by Xiao Chen who was in his palm. The palm-sized divine city was like a black jade. It became more and more sparkling and translucent, as if it was carved out of a rare treasure. It made people unable to part with it.
This would be a great support for Xiao Chen in the future. Right now, he needed to do his utmost to refine it.
"Don't you need the stoneman's essence?"
Tenax asked. It saw Xiao Chen performed the sacred sacrifice on the two stonemen for them, but he didn't help it. That's why it reminded Xiao Chen like this. It wanted Xiao Chen to increase his strength as soon as possible.
"On the path of cultivation, I have already reached a heavenly moat. In a short period of time, the sacred sacrifice is already useless to me. What I need is an opportunity, not just the stoneman's essence."
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Killing Vanquishing Wolf asked in astonishment, "Just what realm have you reached?"
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't answer. He said, "There is still the last demonic cave. If I still can't get any information about where the heavenly monument flew to, I can only think of another way."
Walking into the last demonic cave, a majestic huge city stood on the horizon in front of them. That place was deathly still, there wasn't any fluctuation of life.
"This is a completely deserted ghost city. I'm afraid it's useless."
Killing Vanquishing Wolf and the Hydra both made this judgment.
However, Tenax was a little bewildered. It had advanced to the war ancestor realm, and its Ancestral Dragon bloodline was completely awakened. It possessed a spiritual sense that far surpassed the other races. At this moment, it felt like its spiritual sense was blinded. It faintly felt that something was wrong.
"This demon city is indeed deserted, but why do I keep feeling a little uneasy?"
"You also have the same feeling?"
Xiao Chen knitted his brows. His spiritual sense was innate. Now that he had reached this realm, it was even more powerful than he imagined. As soon as he entered this place, he had an indescribable feeling.
The demon city in front seemed to be deserted. All kinds of signs indicated that there was nothing wrong with him, but his intuition told him that something was not right.
In that instant, Xiao Chen unleashed the Eightfold World, wore the ancient scroll, and took out the divine diagram to conceal the four's aura. Then, they disappeared from their original place.
"Boom … …"
The Immemorial Demon City in front of them shook. Suddenly, bird light soared into the sky. The vast energy ocean shook the ancient times and pierced through the myriad worlds. The place they were standing on just now was annihilated in a flash.
This kind of terrifying scene made the four's expression change. If they acted rashly just now, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.
This demon city was not simple at all. After the boundless aura of life burst out at this moment, it made people feel an oppressive might. The heaven and earth seemed to be pulsating because of it.
The person in the city seemed to be no weaker than the True Wood Saintess!
"Who are you?"
Xiao Chen shouted.
"The Eternal King — Meng Degang."
Such a dignified voice came from the Immemorial Demon City. At the same time, a dazzling light beam swept towards Xiao Chen's group again. It was very obvious that it had captured the traces of a few people.
"Unrivaled in the three thousand worlds, the reborn saintess of the primogenitor." This kind of person was already abnormal enough. How could another similar person appear before their eyes?
Xiao Chen unleashed the Eightfold World and dodged quickly. He knitted his brows as he recalled who this person was. He was indeed a character on par with the True Wood Saintess. He had heard of this person's name before in the Heavenly Realm. He was also one of the strongest people under the primogenitor!
"I knew you would come after the heavenly monument. I have been waiting for you for many years."
The boundless pressure shook all directions and quickly blocked the black hole, cutting off Xiao Chen's group's path of return.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Chen didn't delay. He didn't want to fight with this kind of person at the moment. "
He rushed into the depths of the world of death. After that, he reversed the space and passed through the barrier of the big world to return to the Nine Provinces. He had the remnant of the ancestral warship on him, so he could enter and leave the world of death freely.
"Is there really no way to deal with this kind of person?"
Tenax asked.
"I need to collect two more heavenly marks to deal with them."
Xiao Chen replied, "Use the four heavenly marks to seal off the four directions, use the divine diagram to cut off the earth, use the ancient scroll to seal off the vault of heaven, confine the six directions, and destroy their demonic city. Destroy their divine origin to inflict heavy damage on them."
Currently, what he lacked were the two heavenly marks.
For this, Xiao Chen purposely made a trip to the cultivation world's Heavenly Burial Valley. In the end, the heavenly monument there also flew away.
After returning to the Nine Provinces, Xiao Chen frowned incessantly. He couldn't think of any method for several days in a row.
At night, neon lights flickered. Standing on top of a skyscraper, Xiao Chen and Tenax surveyed the brightly lit city. The night breeze blew over. The two speculated for half the night, but they still couldn't figure out where the heavenly monument flew to.
The Vanquishing Wolf had already left by himself. However, his cultivation was already sealed by Xiao Chen to prevent him from stirring up trouble among the mortals.
In the following few days, Xiao Chen and Tenax stayed in Swallow City. On this day, the nine-headed snake suddenly appeared and said, "I saw a stone monument today. It felt very special. There was no divine power fluctuation. When I wanted to probe it with my divine sense, it was like a clay ox entering the sea …"
"You saw a special stone monument?"
Xiao Chen felt very strange.
"That's right, but it's definitely not the sky that shattered. That stone monument was only one meter long. I saw it in an auction house."
The nine-headed snake answered like this.
After Xiao Chen heard this news, he was moved and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Just at this time, the Vanquishing Wolf appeared. He cried out with a sullen face, "Quickly recover my divine power and undo my seal. As a mortal, I simply can't live. First, I was ruthlessly crushed by someone at seventy yards per hour. Now, I'm plagued with all kinds of diseases!"
"What the hell are you talking about!"
Tenax knitted its brows.
"I was hit by the biker seven times a day at three times the speed of seventy yards per hour. After a few days, I got gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS, and all kinds of strange diseases …"
Xiao Chen and the other two were immediately dumbstruck. After living in Swallow City for a few days, they naturally knew some of the expressions of the mortals.
"You bastard, where the hell did you go to fool around? Serves you right! "
"Save me! As a mortal, I feel the pressure of life is very big …"
The Vanquishing Wolf had a sullen face. He was so scared that he was about to go crazy.
"You bastard, you really asked for it."
Even the nine-headed snake didn't sympathize with him.
"Big brother, I didn't provoke anyone, I was only walking on the street. I was hit by someone at three times the speed of seventy yards per hour seven times in a day. How can you blame me for this?"
The Vanquishing Wolf defended himself, "Furthermore, the Land of Amorous Flowers and Snow is really too dedicated to their work. I merely couldn't control myself and went to live a befuddled life for a while. Then I got a strange disease all over my body. It really can't be compared to the Spellbind Castle and the Moonflower Castle in the past."
Xiao Chen and the other two were dumbstruck.
"You should reflect on yourself first. We'll talk about it when we get back."
Xiao Chen and the other two turned around and left the room.
"Big brothers, save me! I am just a mortal now. The pressure of life is really big!"
The Vanquishing Wolf was about to cry.
Xiao Chen and the others appeared at that auction house. When Xiao Chen saw that stone tablet that was less than one meter tall, he was immediately shocked. That was actually — — the Heavenly Tablet!
This was really too inconceivable. He was endlessly shocked. How could the Heavenly Tablet shrink and be obtained by a mortal?
