384: Breaking out of the cocoon

He clearly hadn't been gone for too long, so why had the Eastern Demon Alliance undergone such a drastic change?

Moreover… Chen Heng looked up at the sky and noticed that the ‘membrane’ in the sky was much fainter compared to the Chengtian Empire.

No, not only that, but the death line was the boundary of the ‘membrane’.

Recalling what Yu Jiang had told him earlier, Chen Heng could basically confirm that the world-suppressing nail within the Eastern Demon Alliance had a problem.

And it was a big problem.

“This is troublesome.”

Apart from Wu Man and a few others, the vitality and Souls of Bai Jun, Wu Ming, Wu Yue, and Luo Shuo were rapidly eroding.

Chen Heng could feel that once they eroded to a certain extent, even if he were a True God, he wouldn't be able to save them.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but speed up again, his Qi and blood gushing like a flood… Meanwhile, in Heavenly Demon City.

“Oh, my dear aunt, please don’t stuff any more refugees into the city.”

Golden Eagle Commander looked at the various data in his hand, his face filled with worry.

“This, this, this, in three days, the city has gained over seventy thousand more refugees. Even if you were a True God, you couldn’t feed so many.”

“Do your job, and I will decide on the matter of the refugees.”

Hu Ling glanced at Golden Eagle Commander and continued with her work.

However, Golden Eagle Commander was right; Heavenly Demon City was under immense pressure now.

Even with Qian Fa’s help, Hu Ling was starting to find herself stretched thin.

Qian Fa’s production capacity was not infinite; it could at most meet the daily consumption of a million small demons.

Once this threshold was crossed, the entire Heavenly Demon City would face a complete collapse.

Hu Ling had tried asking the Demon Emperor Hall for help, but their situation seemed even worse than hers.

The habitable land in the entire Eastern Demon Alliance was rapidly shrinking, and some more irritable Yao Race members had already suggested attacking Human Race territory.

But the Demon Emperor and his Twenty-Four Demon Sages immediately rejected this proposal; they had promised Chen Heng that they would never invade Human Race territory.

Chen Heng was their benefactor who saved their Eastern Demon Alliance, and they had to fulfill their promise to him.

Even if they were to be shattered, their bodies dead and their Dao dissipated, they would not forget their agreement with Chen Heng.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Hu Ling’s two large ears perked up, and the brand on her body began to heat up.

“Master!?”

Hu Ling sensed Chen Heng rapidly approaching and immediately rushed out of the window.

In her eyes, nothing was as important as Chen Heng, including her own humble life.

Chen Heng entered the city without any hindrance; all the Demon Soldiers and demon generals in Heavenly Demon City knew this esteemed figure.

Beating up demon kings and tearing apart evil Dragons, they trembled in their hearts just by looking at Chen Heng.

“Alright, we’re here.”

Chen Heng landed in Heavenly Demon City, but Bai Jun and the others still showed no signs of waking up.

In contrast, Wu Man and the others were still lively, with no discomfort except for a bit of ‘airsickness’.

“Is this an antibody unique to Yin Side people?”

Chen Heng frowned. Then why was he still fine after losing the protection of the world-suppressing nail?

“Master!” A dark shadow descended from the sky and landed in front of Chen Heng.

Hu Ling knelt on one knee, her eight large tails wagging continuously behind her.

“Why is she like my dog…”

Chen Heng couldn’t help but secretly complain in his heart.

“Let’s skip the pleasantries. First, find me a place to stay.”

Chen Heng knew that the most urgent matter now was Bai Jun and the others under his armpit.

Their vitality had been lost by more than half, and their Souls had become somewhat incomplete.

They were somewhat similar to those people who were harmed by the Fude Orthodox Sect back then… “Yes!” Hu Ling also noticed the abnormality of Bai Jun and the others at the first moment and immediately led Chen Heng towards Chen’s mansion… Just as Chen Heng was frantic over the half-dead Bai Jun and the others, the giant cocoon in the capital of the Jade Fan Kingdom finally stirred after a long period of silence.

With a crack, the seemingly incredibly hard carapace split open, and viscous liquid seeped out.

The mucus dripped onto the ground, and the hard ground immediately turned to dust. A ripple that was almost invisible to the naked eye drilled into the cocoon.

Gurgle, gurgle.

The entire cocoon trembled twice, then exploded.

Mucus splattered everywhere, and everything touched by the mucus turned to ashes and floated in the air.

“Uh…”

A figure fell to the ground, looking at the surrounding scenery with some confusion.

“Ah, so that’s it. It really worked.”

That figure was Chang Yutian, who had sacrificed the entire Jade Fan Kingdom, but he was completely different from his previous appearance.

The original Chang Yutian was old and decrepit, looking like a rotting corpse.

But now, Chang Yutian had shed his original appearance and stood on the earth again as a white-haired young man.

“Hmph hmph hmph hahahahaha!”

Chang Yutian laughed wildly, seemingly falling into a state of frenzy.

“Intestine Pulling, Ox Can Speak, Rakshasa…”

Chang Yutian’s face was extremely ferocious, but his aura began to rise steadily.

“Even if you were True Gods before, what does it matter? Aren’t you also a part of me, Chang Yutian, now?”

“The secret ritual of breaking the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, this secret technique inherited from the ancient times, actually succeeded.”

“After fusing with three True Gods, I am the only True God walking on the earth!”

Chang Yutian’s originally fair skin instantly turned bluish-purple, and blade-like bone spurs protruded from his joints.

The muscles and skin of his abdomen also began to rot, and his intestines spilled out and dangled on the ground.

His originally charming face also began to twist and deform, turning into a pus-dripping ox head.

“I will take back everything you snatched from me, not a single thing less.”

A hoarse and piercing voice came from Chang Yutian’s mouth, and he stared intently in the direction of the Great Liang Divine Capital.

“But before that, I need to collect some interest from you.”

“Helian Jinming.”

After speaking, Chang Yutian reverted to his previous handsome young man appearance.

“Clothes.”

As the voice sounded, the surrounding sand and stones immediately transformed into a magnificent set of clothes draped over Chang Yutian’s body.

This was Ox Can Speak’s ability, to twist all reality through language!

However, this ability also had an upper limit; he could only twist things within his cognition.

And things beyond his cognition seemed not to exist in this world yet.

“Horse.”

“Carriage.”

Chang Yutian once again used Ox Can Speak’s ability.

The surrounding sand quickly gathered together, transforming into a magnificent eight-horse carriage.

“Go.”

The carriage with eight tall, strong horses galloped through the Void Realm, speeding towards the Great Liang Divine Capital.

Wherever he passed, all life inexplicably died, and their deaths were extremely gruesome.

Intestines gushed out from their anuses and mouths, and then their bodies melted into blood.

The vitality of those unfortunate Souls turned into wisps of green smoke that drilled into Chang Yutian’s body, becoming part of his power.
