Chapter 374 The Reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon

Yan Chu's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the direction where Gu Xingzhou disappeared, making no move to pursue.

The opponent's speed was extremely fast, tearing through layers of space in the blink of an eye and vanishing within the Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land.

Furthermore, the strength of Gu Xingzhou was unfathomable.

During the palm strike they had just exchanged, it seemed the other party had not used their full power.

Judging by the other's consistently composed demeanor, perhaps they still had some trump cards held back.

However, this scene also gave Yan Chu some realization; it seemed the nine cauldrons originally used to guard the Heavenly Pillar could ignore space cracks and return directly to the outside world.

It just so happened that he had three cauldrons in his Possession.

Besides the fire cauldron he had initially snatched, the Xunfeng and the Zhenlei Cauldron had also been seized by him.

At that time, most people's attention was drawn to the newly appeared Heavenly Gate, and those who wanted to seize the cauldrons were far inferior to him in strength, allowing him to succeed easily.

Temporarily refraining from directly using the fire cauldron to leave, Yan Chu looked toward Meng Ao and the other two by the Jiuyou Well.

By now, Meng Ao's cultivation had also advanced greatly, his whole body wreathed in sinister Devilish Qi, having directly crossed an entire major Realm to reach the Middle Stage of the Yuantai Realm.

"Cult Leader Meng, don't you plan to give me an explanation?"

Although Meng Ao's cultivation had improved significantly, likely placing him below only a handful of people now, he was still no match for Yan Chu.

Even though the aura of the Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect beside him was deeper and more terrifying, Yan Chu still didn't take him seriously.

Just as Gu Xingzhou had said, he was now truly the number one in the world!

From four thousand years ago until now, the number one expert of all time!

Number one in fist and foot!

Number one in Internal Skill!

A great hero and a great champion who was number one in saber techniques!!

Meng Ao opened his mouth but remained silent for a long while.

He had thought that after gaining an Opportunity beneath the Jiuyou Well, his current strength would not be much worse than Yan Chu's, but looking at him now, the other's aura had instead become even more terrifying.

Standing before him, he felt as if he had become incredibly tiny, like facing an insurmountable mountain.

This was not an illusion, but mental pressure brought about by the massive disparity in strength.

Moreover, from what he had just heard from others, Yan Chu could actually kill Divine Ability Realm powerhouses who descended from the Upper Realm.

This kind of strength was indeed number one in the world!

Shua!

Just then, the Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect beside him waved his hand, and a transparent membrane enveloped an area of dozens of feet, isolating it from the outside so that outsiders could not see or hear their conversation.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, please forgive us. I can explain the ins and outs of the matter to you!"

The Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect spoke; although it was still that same young voice from before, it was no longer full of youthful vigor but had become deep and weathered, as if coming from an ancient era.

"Oh? It seems this Fellow Daoist's origin is quite extraordinary!"

Yan Chu could naturally see that the person before him was definitely not the young Demonic Path Prodigy, the Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect, whom he had met before.

Despite having the same face, the temperament, gaze, cultivation, and tone were all completely different; it was easy to see that this was an old monster who had existed for an unknown amount of time.

The other party's aura was now vigorous, and in terms of cultivation alone, he was already not much weaker than Yan Chu.

However, Yan Chu didn't know whether he was a case of Possession or Reincarnation.

"I'm all ears!"

The expression of the Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect became somewhat complex, as if reminiscing about the past. After a moment, he sighed softly:

"To be honest, I am not a person of this world!"

Yan Chu nodded; this did not come as a surprise to him.

"I originally came from the Heavenly Demon Realm and was a Missionary Messenger under the Great Black Heaven. I was ordered to come to this world to establish the Great Black Heavenly Demon Cult's lineage and pass on the Legacy of the Great Black Heaven's teachings."

"However, not long after establishing the lineage, I was beaten until my Divine Soul was obliterated by a Descending Arhat of the Buddhist Sect. My Demonic Bones were banished beneath the Jiuyou, leaving only a spark of spiritual light to escape and be reincarnated into this current young body!"

"Entering the Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land this time was to enter the Jiuyou Domain through the Jiuyou Well within the blessed land, reclaim the Demonic Bones, and restore my previous life's cultivation!"

"The reason I didn't inform Fellow Daoist Yan was only for fear of some unexpected changes occurring midway. Please forgive me!"

"Reincarnation of a Heavenly Demon..."

Yan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked calmly:

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist's cultivation was before Reincarnation?"

"Before Reincarnation, I was above the Divine Ability Realm, having already forged a Saintly Dao Foundation, and was known as the Abyssal Demon Saint!"

"In order to descend to this world, I severed my own Foundation; otherwise, I certainly would not have lost to that Buddhist Arhat!"

When the Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect said this, the conceited expression on his face could not be hidden, clearly showing his extreme dissatisfaction with his previous defeat.

Above the Divine Ability Realm, is it a Saint?

Hearing the other's words, a hint of yearning arose in Yan Chu's heart.

Now that the Heavenly Pillar Mountain was on the verge of collapse, once it merged with the outside world again, his Great Perfection Yuantai Realm cultivation would surely trigger a resonance with heaven and earth.

Although he didn't know if it would attract a Heavenly Tribulation like before, he probably didn't need to think about breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm.

There was still a slight possibility for the Yuantai to exist, but a Divine Ability would surely trigger the rejection of heaven and earth.

To continue increasing his cultivation, his only option was likely Ascension to the Upper Realm.

But now that the Heavenly Gate had been destroyed by him, what other way was there to ascend?"

Seemingly guessing Yan Chu's thoughts, the Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yan's cultivation has already surpassed the Peak of this world. If you wish to ascend next, I have a way to help you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Oh? What way?"

A mysterious smile played at the corners of the Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect's eyes:

"I can use my past life's memories to draw a teleportation Formation that communicates with the Heavenly Demon Realm. Through this Formation, one can enter the Heavenly Demon Realm!"

"However, the Materials for the Formation are extremely precious. It would likely require collecting rare treasures from across the entire world to gather them. If Fellow Daoist Yan is willing to ascend to the Heavenly Demon Realm with me, we can begin preparing for this after leaving this place!"

"Heavenly Demon Realm..."

Yan Chu pondered:

"I still don't know what the Heavenly Demon Realm is like, or how it differs from the Upper Realm where the Cold Ice Holy Sect is located?"

"That's easy to explain!"

The Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect smiled:

"I can tell you all about these things later, Fellow Daoist Yan. For now, the priority is to leave before this Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land collapses."

"Otherwise, the moment the blessed land is destroyed, it will surely whip up an even greater spatial storm. Even you and I might not survive it!"

"Fine!"

Yan Chu gave the Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect a deep look, temporarily suppressing his other thoughts, and with a wave of his hand, a crimson fire cauldron appeared.

"Oh? What a fine cauldron! It seems to share the same origin as the large cauldron in the hands of Gu Xingzhou just now. It has likely surpassed Peerless Divine Weapons and almost reached the level of a Mystic Weapon!"

The Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect's brows rose in surprise.

Yan Chu tossed the fire cauldron out, and the entire cauldron instantly expanded to a size of a hundred feet. His voice carried far and wide:

"Those who want to leave alive, enter the cauldron now!"

Since Gu Xingzhou could avoid the spatial storm by driving that Emperor Cauldron, he would have no problem driving the fire cauldron.

The people outside were wondering what Yan Chu and the three from the Great Black Heavenly Demon Cult were talking about when they suddenly saw a large cauldron appear in the sky and heard his voice, immediately filling them with overjoyed relief.
