154: Chapter 154 Solo Venture into the Demon Realm, Earth-Shattering Changes

【Ye Wuhen has arrived.】

【He is wearing a pitch-black magic robe embroidered with dense runes, exuding the aura of a heaven rank magic treasure.】

【It is unknown how it fell into his hands.】

【When the news reached Chu Sheng's ears, he was drinking tea.】

【The cup in his hand shattered into powder with a "crack," and scalding tea splashed all over his hand.】

【What he thought about wasn't the pain, but rather, has this kid gone crazy?】

【Old Grandfather clicked his tongue in wonder from inside the ring: "This kid has quite some nerve. Breaking into the Demon Realm alone and even snatching a treasure from the Holy Land of the Demon Clan; he must be tired of living."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Could you stop just watching the show and help me analyze why he came?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "What else could he be here for? Either he's looking for you, or he's looking for something."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Looking for me? Why?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "To catch up on old times, and by the way, settle the matter of that ring from back then."】

【Chu Sheng fell silent.】

【Ye Wuhen still doesn't know how that ring disappeared, and even less does he know how Chu Sheng made the ring vanish right under his nose.】

Chu Sheng looked at this scene. "Ye Wuhen is here? Wearing a supreme treasure of the Demon Race? This kid is truly impressive! Coming here this time, I'm afraid it's not just to settle scores with me, right?"

"But then again, Ye Wuhen's cultivation is rising way too fast. Late Stage of Sea Opening Realm? I'm only at the Early Stage of Sea Opening Realm. This template is truly no joke."

【Ye Wuhen's cultivation is already at the Late Stage of Sea Opening Realm.】

【It is one major Realm higher than Chu Zhan, and two minor Realms higher than Chu Sheng.】

【Chu Sheng looked at the intelligence report, his expression not very good.】

【All these years, he thought he had been progressing fast enough, but he didn't expect Ye Wuhen to be even faster.】

【Old Grandfather said: "That magic robe is the key. Wearing it allows one to come and go freely in the Demon Realm, and it can also suppress one's aura and conceal one's tracks. No wonder he could penetrate deep into the heartland and cause such a huge commotion."】

【Chu Sheng said: "How exactly did he manage to snatch that thing?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "Who knows? Maybe he's just lucky, or maybe that thing chose him itself."】

【"Oh no, my big son!"】

【Chu Zhan had heard of the legends of Ye Wuhen before: Li Huo Sacred Body, Phoenix Immortal Nirvana Scripture, killing Demon Race generals one after another, marrying the princess of Tianfeng Kingdom, and rising to fame among the younger generation.】

【He had always wanted to have a fight with this person, dreamed of it even.】

【Chu Sheng said: "Don't go. Dad has fought him before; he is no ordinary person, and you are no match for him."】

【Chu Zhan was unconvinced and said: "Dad, you underestimate me. I am now at the Late Stage of Spirit Lake Realm. Even if I can't beat him, I can hold on for a few moves."】

【Chu Sheng said: "You are my son, do I not know you? With your temper, once a fight starts, you don't care about anything. You just rush in recklessly; you'll definitely lose within three moves."】

【Chu Zhan said: "Then I'll think of a way after three moves."】

【Chu Sheng said: "After three moves, you'll already be lying on the ground."】

【Chu Zhan's stubborn temper flared up; he insisted on fighting.】

【When Chu Sheng discovered it, he stomped his feet in anger. This brat, he has the same temperament as his mother, stubborn as a mule.】

【He hurriedly chased after the place where Ye Wuhen appeared, and Yu Rumeng also followed.】

【When the two arrived, Chu Zhan was already fighting Ye Wuhen on the wilderness.】

【The two met on a stretch of wilderness.】

【Chu Zhan held a battle axe, while Ye Wuhen was empty-handed.】

【Chu Zhan charged up and slashed down with his axe. It was powerful and heavy, the axe shadow like a mountain.】

【Ye Wuhen dodged to the side and raised his hand for a palm strike, Li Huo Burning the Sky.】

【Chu Zhan flew backward, his tiger's mouth split open, and he almost lost his grip on the battle axe.】

【He was unconvinced and crawled up to fight again.】

【Ye Wuhen still only used one hand. After three moves, Chu Zhan was sent flying again.】

【Chu Sheng finally couldn't help it and stepped in to stop him.】

【Chu Zhan was full of unwillingness, his eyes red, and said: "Dad, let me fight one more time, I can do it."】

【Chu Sheng said: "You've already done very well. He has practiced for decades more than you. When you reach his age, you won't be any worse than him."】

【Ye Wuhen looked at Chu Sheng, his gaze calm, and said: "Your son? Doesn't look like you."】

【Chu Sheng said: "He looks like his mother."】

【Ye Wuhen nodded and said: "Indeed."】

【That tone was as if he were very familiar with Chu Sheng.】

【Chu Sheng felt a surge of discomfort. This kid, when did he become so calm? Wasn't he quite good at posturing before?】

【Yu Rumeng made her move.】

【The rumeng token was unleashed, and a black dream enveloped the wilderness, changing the color of heaven and earth.】

【Ye Wuhen turned and ran. The magic robe turned into a beam of black light, its speed astonishingly fast.】

【Yu Rumeng chased for three hundred miles but didn't catch up.】

【She frowned and said: "What a loach, slippery as anything."】

【Chu Sheng chased up, panting, and said: "You couldn't catch up?"】

【Yu Rumeng glanced at him and said: "That magic robe was refined by an Ancient Demon King; its speed is ridiculously fast. Unless I break through to the Spirit Nurturing Realm, it's hard to catch up."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Then when will you break through?"】

【Yu Rumeng said: "When you give me a daughter."】

【Chu Sheng was speechless. What kind of talk is this?】

【Chu Sheng asked what Ye Wuhen came to the Demon Realm to do. Old Grandfather said: "He might be looking for something. A holy item of the Demon Race, or some ruin. That magic robe was found on the outskirts of the Holy Land of the Demon Clan."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Outskirts of the Holy Land? Isn't that where an Ancient Demon King is sleeping? How dare he go there?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "This kid is bold enough; he dares to break into anything."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Then isn't he courting death?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "People who court death often live the longest, because they are lucky."】

【Chu Sheng said: "What kind of warped logic is that?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "This is the experience I've summarized after living for over two thousand years."】

【Ye Wuhen stayed in the Demon Realm for three months, breaking into the territories of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the Nine Nether Palace, and the Blood God Sect, killing who knows how many Demon Race generals.】

【The Earth Fiend Devil King personally took action to pursue him but was shaken off by his magic robe.】

【The Soul Devouring Devil King set a trap, but he sensed the danger in advance and took a detour.】

【Chu Sheng said: "This kid is really lucky."】

【Old Grandfather said: "It's not luck, it's the Phoenix Immortal Nirvana Scripture. That Cultivation Technique can sense life-and-death crises and avoid them in advance."】

【Chu Sheng asked: "Then doesn't that mean he can't be killed?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "Unless it's a one-hit kill that doesn't give him time to react."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Then can you do it?"】

【Old Grandfather fell silent for a moment and said: "I could in my prime, but not now."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Then why are you talking nonsense?"】

Chu Sheng clicked his tongue: "The Phoenix Immortal Nirvana Scripture is this Heaven-Defying? Can sense life-and-death crises? Doesn't that mean no one can kill him?"

He paused and suddenly laughed: "But that makes sense. If Ye Wuhen has a protagonist template, he must have some means to save his life. Otherwise, how would he survive until the grand finale?"

【Ye Wuhen finally penetrated deep into the Holy Land of the Demon Clan and reportedly saw the sleeping Ancient Demon King.】

【Ye Wuhen tried to approach but was blown away by a terrifying force, and the magic robe cracked at one corner.】

【He fought to escape, critically injured and dying, covered in blood, with who knows how many broken bones.】

【The Phoenix Immortal Nirvana Scripture triggered automatically, and Ye Wuhen was reborn in flames, his cultivation actually breaking through to the Peak of Sea Opening Realm.】

【The news spread throughout the Demon Realm. The Demon Race was furious. The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the Nine Nether Palace, and the Blood God Sect jointly issued a kill order, offering a bounty for his head, with an absurdly high reward.】

【Peak of Sea Opening Realm?】

【This kid, three months ago he was at the Late Stage of Sea Opening Realm, and now he is at the Peak of Sea Opening Realm?】

【He spent twenty years of hard training to break through from the Peak of Spirit Lake Realm to the Early Stage of Sea Opening Realm, yet Ye Wuhen crossed a minor Realm in three months?】

【Old Grandfather said faintly from inside the ring: "This is the gap in Cultivation Techniques. The Phoenix Immortal Nirvana Scripture allows one to be reborn from death; every near-death experience is a transformation. Your Taixu True Scripture, although also a High Grade Heaven Rank, follows a steady path and lacks such Heaven-Defying effects."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Then I'll switch to another one."】

【Old Grandfather said: "You can't switch. Once a Cultivation Technique is set, it cannot be changed."】

【Chu Sheng said: "Then didn't I lose out?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "What are you losing out on? The Taixu True Scripture is far stronger than the Phoenix Immortal Nirvana Scripture in the later stages."】

【Chu Sheng said: "When is that?"】

【Old Grandfather said: "You'll know when you reach the Dao Palace."】

【Chu Sheng said: "That'll take until the year of the monkey."】

【Old Grandfather said: "What's the rush? You're only a few decades old. I practiced for over a hundred years to reach the Dao Palace back then, and I was a Genius among geniuses at that time."】

【Chu Sheng said: "That's because your Aptitude was poor."】

【Old Grandfather was so angry he didn't speak for a long time.】

Chu Sheng laughed until he was leaning back and forth.

"Old Grandfather was so angry he couldn't speak? Hahaha! But Ye Wuhen's speed of progress is indeed terrifying. Three months from the Late Stage of Sea Opening Realm to the Peak of Sea Opening Realm? If he is given a few more years, wouldn't he reach the Dao Palace?"

"If I don't work harder, next time we meet, I'm afraid I'll be rubbed into the ground by Ye Wuhen."

【Ye Wuhen disappeared in the Demon Realm.】

【No one knows where he went. Some say he returned to Tianfeng Kingdom, some say he went to the Central Region, and others say he snuck back into the Holy Land of the Demon Clan.】

【But Chu Sheng knows, he will come back.】

【And the next time he comes back, he will only be stronger.】
