Chen Luoyang stood on top of the Black Water Extreme Palace's palace walls. He didn't even look at the Black Water Extreme Palace's martial artists. Instead, he scanned the palace in front of him.
The Black Water Extreme Palace occupied an equally vast area. Although it was slightly smaller than the Xian Tian Palace, it also had an endless chain of palaces.
Right now, one could still see the array patterns and rays of light rising from every corner of the palace, intertwining into the Black Water Extreme Palace's defensive array formation.
The Demon Palace's martial artists came and went, running non-stop.
Although the array formation was already weakened, the Black Water Extreme Palace was still struggling to hold on, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
Chen Luoyang's expression gradually turned strange.
At this point, the Black Water Extreme Palace's Palace Master Ji Tianqiong was still nowhere to be seen.
In such a predicament, even if the Palace Master was in closed-door cultivation, the Demon Palace's people should have gone to invite her out. Otherwise, everyone would have to pay the price.
As for whether the Palace Master was fighting, or if she was injured after being disturbed in closed-door cultivation, it was not impossible that she decided to run away.
However, it was too strange that she was nowhere to be seen.
Not only did Chen Luoyang's expression turn strange, but the Ancient God's martial artists outside the palace who were watching their Hierarch's prowess were also looking at each other in confusion.
Why did this scene feel so familiar to them?
What a strong sense of déjà vu …
Everyone felt like they had returned to the time when their Ancient God's headquarters was attacked by the Barbarian Tribe King.
However, now, they were on the attacking side, and the one being beaten was on the other side.
A strong enemy was pressing down on them, but their leader was nowhere to be seen, leaving only the others struggling to hold on.
In such a precarious situation, could it be that the Palace Master who was supposed to be in closed-door cultivation was already gone?
Inside the Black Water Extreme Palace, the Palace Master had not appeared for a long time, and the middle and lower level martial artists were also slowly becoming restless.
Obviously, they also began to connect the Ancient God's experience with their current situation.
"Don't force me to fight," said Chen Luoyang calmly. He continued walking toward the Black Water Extreme Palace.
The enemies in front of him were utterly defeated.
However, under the leadership of a few top elders, the people of Blackwater Extreme Palace did not panic. They retreated into the depths of the palace as they fought.
Chen Luoyang did not panic, nor did he press too hard. Instead, he followed behind his opponent.
These people should be heading to the Palace Master's place of seclusion.
In next to no time, a small lake appeared in Chen Luoyang's field of vision amidst the buildings. The lake water was pure black, dense like ink, and smooth like a mirror.
There was an island in the middle of the lake, and on the island stood a palace that was particularly eye-catching.
The doors of the palace were already open.
However, it could be seen that someone had forcefully opened it from the outside.
There was still no sign of the Devil Queen, Ji Tianqiong.
Chen Luoyang crossed the lake and walked towards the main hall on the island.
Through the entrance of the hall, one could see the faces of the Black Water Extreme Palace martial artists. It was hard to tell whether they were crying or laughing.
The group of Black Water Extreme Palace martial practitioners were at a loss, embarrassment, anger, and despair.
It was very similar to the Ancient God's group when the leader of the Barbarian Tribe came knocking on their door, only to find that Jiang Yi was missing.
The Blackwater Extreme Palace's Palace Master, Ji Tianqiong, who had also claimed to be in seclusion, was actually not there.
The Ancient God's group had sent a notice long ago, leaving enough time for the Blackwater Extreme Palace. The news had already spread throughout the world, so there was no surprise attack.
If Ji Tianqiong had gone out, she should have been able to rush back in time.
Now that she was missing, the Blackwater Extreme Palace was at a loss.
Right now, they could only rely on themselves for one last fight.
Chen Luoyang looked into the main hall and saw a black coffin sitting inside.
It was the black coffin that was closely related to Chen Chuhua!
After the battle in the Divine Land, Chen Luoyang finally saw this treasure again. Indeed, he had returned to the Blackwater Extreme Palace.
Several Devil Palace Elders were gathered around the black coffin, trying to activate its power to fight against Chen Luoyang.
This mysterious black coffin was also extremely mysterious to the Blackwater Extreme Palace.
It originated from the "Devil Queen" Ji Tianqiong, and it was difficult for others to come into contact with it. The previous Palace Master, Ling Cang, could only suppress and seal it most of the time, unable to control it.
Now that Ji Tianqiong was missing, the black coffin was not taken away by her. It was still here.
The people of Blackwater Extreme Palace could only make one last attempt. They had no choice but to try their best.
However, no matter how they tried, the black coffin did not respond at all.
Chen Luoyang seemed to be waiting and did not continue to attack. Silent, he stood at the entrance of the main hall and watched the people inside struggle with the black coffin.
He did not say a word, his expression easygoing.
The Blackwater Extreme Palace people became more and more anxious, almost suffocating.
The young man's body blocked the entrance, standing with his back to the light. No one in the hall could see his expression clearly. Slowly, his shadow extended on the ground, approaching the people's feet.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more oppressive, almost frozen.
The black coffin did not move an inch no matter how hard the Blackwater Extreme Palace people tried. Everyone began to feel despair.
After a while, Chen Luoyang shook his head and walked back into the main hall.
The Devil Palace people were stuck in a dilemma. Some of the fierce-tempered martial artists charged at Chen Luoyang.
But Chen Luoyang did not move. The invisible "shadow moon" beheaded the other party.
"Open the coffin lid. Perhaps Palace Master Ji is not hiding inside waiting to ambush me. This is your last chance." Chen Luoyang stopped in front of the coffin and examined it with interest.
The Blackwater Extreme Palace elders smiled bitterly.
This black coffin was undoubtedly an ominous object. If they opened the coffin lid, they might be the first to die.
But there was no other way. They might as well give it a try, even if it meant perishing together with them.
The Blackwater Extreme Palace had thousands of years of heritage. As one of the sacred lands of the Demonic Dao, they had their own pride and were unwilling to be conquered and humiliated by foreign enemies.
The elders glanced at each other and made up their minds to work together to open the coffin lid!
But the black coffin still did not move.
The Blackwater Extreme Palace people instantly felt despair.
Seeing this, Chen Luoyang raised his eyebrows, smiled, and stretched out his hand.
Then, under the shocked gazes of the Blackwater Extreme Palace martial artists, the black coffin lid was pushed open by Chen Luoyang!
A thick aura of death surged out like ink and fog, surrounding the black coffin and not dissipating.
Black mist also surged around Chen Luoyang's body to protect him.
At the same time, the Earth Bodhisattva Wheel, the Yellow Earth Decree, the Blue Wood Decree, the "Life" Heavenly Tome, and other treasures that could counter the Netherworld Death Intent had already been prepared and could be used at any time.
But after the black coffin was opened, there were no special changes, and it did not attack Chen Luoyang.
Although there was an accumulated aura of death seeping out, when everyone looked carefully, the coffin was empty.
"Demon Queen" Ji Tianqiong was not inside.
The black coffin did not reveal its power. Everything was calm and peaceful.
The Blackwater Extreme Palace people were greatly disappointed. Their last hope was dashed before their eyes.
Chen Luoyang's expression was calm, and he fell into deep thought.
He remembered when he was still in the Divine Land, he tried to explore the mysteries of the black coffin with Chen Chuhua.
At that time, when he opened the coffin, he saw an empty coffin.
But Chen Chuhua said that there was someone in the coffin.
Chen Luoyang muttered to himself as he walked around the coffin. He cautiously extended a hand into the coffin.
After carefully sensing, there was still nothing in the black coffin.
The current Chen Luoyang's cultivation and strength were completely different from when he was in the Divine Land.
When he reached into the coffin, it felt different too.
Apart from being able to explore and comprehend the power within, Chen Luoyang suddenly had a strange feeling.
This black coffin seemed to be truly empty.
An ownerless item.
This feeling was completely different from before.
However, this black coffin was too powerful. The Blackwater Extreme Palace elders of the 18th Realm could not refine it or activate it.
Even Chen Luoyang found it difficult.
He squinted his eyes, his gaze faint.
Was his feeling wrong?
Or was there something else?
He lightly tapped the edge of the black coffin with his finger.
His mind was communicating with the white jade bottle in his mind.
Then, he would investigate Ji Tianqiong!
The last time he obtained information about Jiang Yi, the white jade bottle had used up a lot of dark gold nectar and had not been replenished.
Now that he was investigating another Martial Venerable, it would be a waste of the wealth that Chen Luoyang had accumulated.
However, Chen Luoyang's main purpose this time was to verify a guess in his heart.
It turned out that he had guessed correctly.
The dark gold nectar in the white jade bottle disappeared, but it immediately returned to normal.
The amount of nectar that was equivalent to three Martial Venerables was not enough to obtain information about Ji Tianqiong.
Compared to Ji Tianqiong's rumored cultivation and strength, there was clearly a problem.
The possibility of her hiding her cultivation was not high. There should be something fishy going on.
Was it someone like Ji Zhong, Han Mei, or Xu Peng?
Chen Luoyang thought for a moment, then did a second experiment.
He investigated Yang Qingshi, Jiang Yi's previous life.
However, the nectar in the white jade bottle did not change, and directly displayed Jiang Yi's information.
Chen Luoyang let out a long sigh.
If he investigated a person in the white jade bottle, if it was the same soul that had reincarnated several lives, then these lives could be treated as the same person, or as the real him in each life.
Cha Jiang Yi's different names in each life could point to him.
However, when different versions of him came into contact with another person, would Jiang Yi only leave behind her so-called real name when searching for information about this person, or would she be presented with a different name for each life?
Chen Luoyang pondered, ignoring the people of Black Water Extreme Palace.
Seeing that he was distracted, someone moved.
However, without warning, he was beheaded. The scene was strange and horrifying.
Everyone was shocked and angry, looking at Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang, on the other hand, seemed to be completely unaware and was still daydreaming.
At this time, led by Su Ye, the people of Ancient God also rushed in, confronting the martial artists of Black Water Extreme Palace.
Chen Luoyang didn't say anything, so they didn't make a move.
The people of Black Water Extreme Palace were in a dilemma.
Finally, Chen Luoyang seemed to come back to his senses.
"Since Ji Tianqiong is not here, you are not guilty of fighting. Surrender to me, and I will let bygones be bygones. If you resist stubbornly, I can help you."
When the people of the two Demonic Dao Holy Lands heard this, they all looked a little strange.
Without a Martial Venerable, it was not a mistake to lose to a Martial Dao Holy Land of the same level.
But the problem was that this Hierarch Chen was a Martial Saint like them …
