328: Nine Extremes

Zhao Yujing naturally didn't know that Lu Chen was cultivating more and more Dao Soldiers recently. The feedback power from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin was becoming increasingly surging, causing Lu Chen's Body Refinement cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. By now, he had already stepped into the peak of the fourth layer of Nascent Soul. Normally, that would be a Great Power who had undergone four Demonic Heart Tribulations.

However, Lu Chen possessed the characteristic of transcendence, where inner demons did not arise. Thus, he hadn't even experienced a single Demonic Heart Tribulation and naturally stepped into this layer, silently and without disturbance.

The Sect Leader departed, and Lu Chen continued to return to his cave abode to cultivate in seclusion.

Azure Underworld, Eastern Region!

"These two Golden Crows, relying on their Emperor Clan status, are running rampant in the Azure Underworld. Are they bullying us because the Azure Underworld has no one?"

Cultivators from the Martial God Palace and the Dragon Elephant Institute all looked at the four great suns hanging in the sky and grumbled.

"With four suns hanging in the sky, apart from the original great sun, the Azure Underworld suddenly has three extra suns. Mountains and land are cracking, rivers are drying up. We cultivators are somewhat better off, but how can those ordinary beings endure the suffering of being scorched by these four suns? If this continues, all the ordinary beings in the entire Azure Underworld will die!"

"Are our Human Race Great Powers just going to ignore this?" Some cultivators were angry, venting their dissatisfaction.

"How can we manage it? Those three Golden Crows are all Great Power level existences. One of them is even currently ranked on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking. Unless an Ascended Being personally takes action, no one can restrain these three Golden Crows!"

"Even if there is a Human Race Ascended Being in the Azure Underworld, they might not dare to attack these three Golden Crows!"

"The Demon Clan and our Human Race are mortal enemies. Can an Emperor Clan among the demons still intimidate our Human Race?"

"You don't know this, but the Golden Crow Clan is born with divine and powerful abilities. A new generation of Golden Crows is born only every twenty thousand years, with a maximum of nine in a generation. Most of the time, a new generation of Golden Crows doesn't even reach nine, and sometimes even includes those with impure Bloodlines. This generation of Golden Crows also has less than nine. If someone were to destroy these three Golden Crows here, the entire Golden Crow Clan would likely go mad. Who could withstand such wrath?"

"The foundation of an Emperor Clan is not just talk. There is no Void Immortal Sect in the entire Human Race that can surpass an Emperor Clan in terms of foundation. Their existence spans too long a time, far beyond what the Human Race, as latecomers, can compare to!"

The Human Race cultivators in the Azure Underworld were all indignant and unwilling, yet also helpless. With no Ascended Being taking action, the three Golden Crow Emperor Clan members were virtually invincible. Not only could they not be defeated, but those who *could* defeat them couldn't afford to provoke them!

How helpless!

"Master, can we only watch as these three Golden Crows roast all the ordinary beings in the entire Azure Underworld to death?" Annoyance flickered in Feng Jie's eyes from time to time. He several times couldn't resist wanting to attack the three great suns high in the sky, but had to restrain himself.

He was originally a Human Race member born in the Azure Underworld, so he naturally felt a sense of belonging to the Azure Underworld. Now that the Azure Underworld was suffering this calamity, with lives being plunged into misery, how could he remain indifferent!

Being able to restrain himself from attacking was already his limit!

Fu Hongchen remained silent, his deep eyes contemplating. After a long period of deliberation, he slowly spoke, "I, your Master, have not yet reached the Ascension Realm!"

Without reaching the Ascension Realm, he also had no confidence in defeating these three Golden Crows!

'When did that old fellow Chen Tianshu become so timid? These three-legged birds are about to turn the Azure Underworld upside down, yet why haven't I seen him take action?!' Fu Hongchen's heart was also heavy.

He had not reached the Ascension Realm, but Chen Tianshu was an Ascended Being. If he were to take action, even if he didn't destroy these three Golden Crows, it would be enough to make them restrain themselves and retreat.

More importantly, that Little Golden Crow with impure Bloodline was killed by Lu Chen. Aren't you, Chen Tianshu, going to come help Lu Chen clean up the mess?

"Old fellow!" Fu Hongchen couldn't help but curse under his breath, his deep eyes flickering uncertainly.

'Should I take action?'

Above the sky, four suns hung horizontally. Three of these great suns, or more accurately, three-legged Golden Crows, had their bodies steaming with true sun fire, which was even more astonishing than a real great sun because they were closer to the Azure Underworld.

"I'd like to see how long the people of your Dongming Sect can hide," Di Chen thought indifferently.

What if the Dongxu Immortal Mansion has an Ascended Being?

He transformed into a great sun, scorching the earth. The entire Azure Underworld would suffer along with the people of the Dongming Sect. Lu Chen of the Dongming Sect could hide for a while, but he couldn't hide forever.

This is just the beginning. As time goes on, the beings in the Azure Underworld will continuously die under the four hanging suns. By then, billions of beings will harbor resentment. The Dongming Sect won't be able to bear such Karma, nor such pressure, and will naturally send Lu Chen to their doorstep.

This is an overt scheme.

I won't go look for you; you will naturally come look for me!

If you don't come, then let the billions of beings in the Azure Underworld be buried with you!

At this moment, Di Chen and the other three Golden Crows suddenly felt something and simultaneously looked towards the extreme west of the Azure Underworld!

"Our clan's aura?!" The Golden Crow on the left exclaimed in surprise!

"More accurately, it's that brother's aura. His soul is still there; it hasn't been completely extinguished!" The Golden Crow on the right's expression changed several times.

He disliked that brother with the impure Bloodline, but he had to take him seriously.

Outsiders only know that each generation of Golden Crows will not exceed the extreme number of nine, but they don't know that if there truly are nine Golden Crows born in the current generation, and one of them unfortunately perishes, then in that generation, it is still possible for another Golden Crow Emperor Clan member to be born.

Not exceeding the extreme number of nine, but possibly completing the extreme number of nine.

Of course, this probability is very, very small.

But this generation of Golden Crow Emperor Clan members just happened to have nine. Now that one has perished, there is naturally a chance for another to be born. The death of that brother with the impure Bloodline was actually not without value.

But now, that brother with the impure Bloodline is showing soul fluctuations...

"After all, he is a brother, let's go take a look!" Di Chen's words carried a few layers of unclear meaning, making it impossible to tell if 'take a look' was truly just 'take a look' or if there was a hidden meaning.

"He didn't appear early or late, but precisely now, soul fluctuations have been transmitted. This might not actually be our brother!" The Golden Crow on the left spoke in a muffled voice, unwilling to go.

"Do not speak like that again," Di Chen refused indifferently.

Looking across the entire universe starry sky, there is no clan that dares to simultaneously provoke four of their Emperor Clan members. In this small Azure Underworld, would someone dare to scheme against them?

Of course not. The Golden Crow on the left simply didn't want to go rescue that brother with the impure Bloodline; he wanted him to completely perish in the Azure Underworld.

"Alright then, let's go meet him. That brother's soul might have sensed our aura, which is why he's showing activity now. It doesn't necessarily mean he has a way to live," the Golden Crow on the right echoed.

For a moment, there was silence. The three Golden Crows still transformed into great suns and headed towards the extreme west.

At the same moment, in the extreme west.

Chen Tianshu slowly closed his five fingers, isolating the Golden Crow Dao Soldier in his palm, and slowly raised his head to look at the three great suns on the horizon. "Little brats, this time, I will make sure you never return."
