61: The origin of the demon race, breaking through to the Return to the Origin Realm

He was a creature from the Demon Realm. Since there were no creatures like the Dragon Clan there, it was naturally impossible for him to recognize a Dragon.

Half-step Return to Origin Stage?

Zhao Jian frowned, his heart rate accelerating. He felt as if he had been targeted by something terrifying.

Yet, the creature before him only emitted fluctuations of the Half-step Return to Origin Stage; why would it make him feel this way?

Meanwhile, everyone in Bright Moon City had almost all seen this gigantic creature that had suddenly appeared.

"What's going on? What kind of Yao Beast is this?"

"Such a terrifying aura."

"The Demon Race is the common enemy of our Human Race and the Yao Race. Does this mean we might be saved?"

Exclamations rang out incessantly. At this moment, Bright Moon City was enveloped by Zhao Jian's Devilish Qi. Their strength was simply insufficient, and they could only wait quietly for death.

They had originally been in despair, but now, behind Qingshi, the people in Bright Moon City ignited with hope once more.

"Something's not right. Look at the appearance of this Yao Beast; why is it so similar to the Dragon Clan from the legends?"

"It really seems to be... And there seems to be a person sitting on its head. Could this be the mount of some Human Race expert?"

"To be able to subdue such a terrifying Yao Beast, it seems we might be saved today!"

In Bright Moon City, a woman frowned deeply.

She had married into the Jinghong Empire long ago and had specifically returned today to pay respects to her parents, but she hadn't expected to encounter such a situation.

Subduing a Dragon!

Her father had previously mentioned that there was a Su Family in Bright Moon City. Could it be the Su Family from Wangyun Mountain?

Before she had time to think, a high-pitched Dragon roar descended from the clouds. Qingshi's figure dove straight down, its massive body circling high above Bright Moon City.

Qingshi lowered its head and looked towards Zhao Jian.

At the same time, Zhao Jian's pupils contracted sharply, and the evil aura on his body instinctively shrank back a little.

Of course, it was not because of Qingshi, but because of the handsome young man sitting on its head, who possessed an elegant and jade-like demeanor.

Su Chen was just sitting there without moving, yet he gave him an extremely powerful sense of oppression.

An expert! A true expert! At least the Dao-Entry Realm!

Zhao Jian's eyes trembled; such an expert was definitely not someone he could handle right now.

His own strength was at the Middle Stage of the Return to Origin Stage, and the creatures of the Yin and Yang Realms had similar strength levels. Some Demon Race Prodigies could fight those at the Dao-Entry Realm while at the Middle Stage of the Return to Origin Stage.

But he absolutely could not!

Zhao Jian's expression became incredibly ugly. He had studied and understood all the Holy Lands in the Eastern Region, and there was no information about Su Hongyuan being associated with these Holy Lands.

Of course, they also had no connections to other Holy Land forces outside the Eastern Region.

They didn't even have any entanglements with the top-tier King-level forces in the Eastern Region; they were completely free agents, Sacred Bodies without any powerful background.

Yet now, a Dao-Entry Realm expert had suddenly popped up.

The Su Family... what on earth is their background!

Could it be the Su Family from the Jinghong Empire? But didn't they only have one Cultivator at the Return to Origin Stage?

At this moment, all sorts of thoughts flooded Zhao Jian's mind, but what he wanted to do most right now was to leave this place immediately; the pressure from being stared at by Qingshi was too great.

Just at this moment, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes, looking at Zhao Jian with a slight frown.

"Demon Race."

Watching the evil aura swirling inside the opponent's body, he narrowed his eyes. This was the first time Su Chen had come into contact with the Demon Race.

As a Supreme Sage, he easily saw through Zhao Jian's Origin.

Hmm? Su Chen's face showed surprise.

Although the aura on the Demon Race was incredibly evil, its Origin was actually very sweet and delicious, just as recorded. It seemed that the Demon Realm and the Yang Realm could devour each other.

Wouldn't that mean that if a Cultivator of the Yang Realm devoured him, they could directly seize the other party's Origin and Breakthrough to the Return to Origin Stage?

The Demon Realm and the Yang Realm almost originated from the same source, but because they came from two extremes, absorbing each other could compensate for their own flaws.

A look of interest appeared in Su Chen's eyes; the relationship between this Demon Realm and the Yang Realm seemed very interesting indeed.

He could be almost certain that these Yin and Yang Realms were definitely not just simple enemies.

However, this was not the time to dwell on such matters. He reached out towards Zhao Jian. Zhao Jian immediately wanted to flee, but before he could move, he was directly immobilized in mid-air like a little chick.

And as Zhao Jian was immobilized, the Devilish Qi shrouding Bright Moon City began to dissipate rapidly.

Zhao Jian's eyes were filled with fear! Damn! A Saint!

The moment Su Chen acted, he realized that Su Chen was definitely not in the Dao-Entry Realm; he was at least an expert at the Half-step Saint level.

Creatures of the Demon Realm had a strong sensitivity to creatures of the Yang Realm, or perhaps it was mutual, as creatures of the Yang Realm could also easily identify them.

Zhao Jian had clearly sensed just now that there was a faint Saintly Might within Su Chen's body, which was clearly a sign that only a Saint possessed.

Zhao Jian was numb! He wanted to cry!

He had originally thought that this time he had struck it lucky by finding two Sacred Bodies, but he hadn't expected it to be a trap.

Zhao Jian's heart was filled with regret. These were two Sacred Bodies; how could there not be an expert behind them?

Even if he had the intent to kill, he shouldn't have been so careless. He should have prepared a good opportunity to kill them directly and then flee far away; that was obviously the safest way to handle it.

"Little Chen!" In the distance, Su Yuanba's face was full of joy and shock.

Although the people of the Su Family knew that Su Chen's strength was very powerful, seeing him easily capture Zhao Jian with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Su Chen smiled and responded: "Fourth Uncle!"

The Collateral Branch of the Su Family also stepped forward one after another: "Greetings, Young Clan Leader!"

Su Chen nodded at them and then waved his hand towards Zhao Jian.

Zhao Jian died on the spot, condensing into a huge black sphere, about the size of a basketball.

This was all of Zhao Jian's Origin essence, which had been directly condensed by Su Chen.

After dealing with Zhao Jian, they returned to the Su Family.

The four members of the main line of the Su Family gathered in the inner courtyard.

Su Hongyuan looked at his little grandson and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You brat, isn't your strength a bit too strong?"

The strength Su Chen displayed truly shocked him; that Zhao Jian's strength was so powerful, yet he had been solved so easily.

The people of the Su Family could also see that Su Chen's strength was perhaps not as simple as the Return to Origin Stage.

However, they all tacitly refrained from asking. Su Chen had his own secrets; if he didn't want to talk about them, asking would be pointless.

Su Chen smiled and didn't dwell on this issue too much. He took out Zhao Jian's Origin essence and said:

"Old Master, this thing is the Origin essence of that Demon Race member. You must know that creatures of the Yin and Yang Realms can devour each other."

"And this Demon Race member possessed the cultivation of the Return to Origin Stage. Devouring it will allow one to Breakthrough to the Return to Origin Stage, and there are no side effects. I will leave it to you, Old Master, to decide who should absorb and refine it."

When Su Hongyuan heard this, he looked at the black sphere in Su Chen's hand with burning eyes.

Of course he knew that the Yin and Yang Realms could devour each other!

If they devoured Zhao Jian, then their Su Family would possess their own Return to Origin Stage expert in the future, and without relying on Su Chen, they would also become a King-level force.
