Chapter 435: The Hantu Clan

A white sun appeared within this Shikong Haiyu.

Under the radiance of the white sun, the entire Demon Fox Great World and the surrounding hundreds of millions of kilometers of airspace were affected, completely vanishing into smoke and dust.

Yet, the Nine-Tailed White Fox that accomplished all this was not having an easy time.

Not to mention that the nine miraculous fox tails, which took three thousand years of bitter cultivation to attain, were all gone.

By unleashing such a world-destroying divine ability, it had also suffered a severe backlash, and this body was already on the verge of falling apart.

Otherwise, the Venerable Heavenly Fox would not have chosen such a world-destroying method only after sensing that the Child of Desire was about to be born.

However, if the Venerable Heavenly Fox knew that the Child of Desire, which appeared so high-and-mighty, would be restricted by the difficulty limits of the Abyss Challenge once truly born, and that its realm would be far inferior to that of this Heavenly Demon...

It is unknown just how ugly its expression would have become at that moment.

But this cannot be blamed on it; if it hadn't known the rules in advance, how could it have known that this monarch from the Abyss would actually be restricted by higher-level rules?

Even now, the Nine-Tailed White Fox could only wonder if the execution of this world-destroying ultimate technique had been a bit too smooth from beginning to end.

Especially that Child of Desire, which was swallowed up without any resistance at all.

It made the Nine-Tailed White Fox suspect for a time that there was a trap.

Only when the white sun appeared and everything settled did the dust finally clear.

There were no major changes in the situation.

Only then did the Nine-Tailed White Fox feel slightly at ease.

Then, by tracing its memories, it discovered a fish that had slipped through the net, having escaped using some special secret technique while it was casting its spell.

"A Phantom Dream Wonder of the Hantu?"

"To think this thing could escape right under my nose; it seems I previously underestimated the foundation of the Hantu."

"Hmm... matters involving the Abyss must not fall short for want of a final effort; even if the possibility is small, the potential source of pollution must be nipped in the bud!"

Thinking of this, the Nine-Tailed White Fox immediately sent a message to its own clan.

It ordered them to go and intercept the survivor of the Hantu and take away that strange crystal.

As for the Nine-Tailed White Fox itself.

It was not that it did not want to go personally.

On one hand, it had been severely wounded by the world-destroying ultimate technique, and this body could collapse at any moment.

On the other hand, it was also because the Nine-Tailed White Fox was not sure if it had also become a source of pollution.

After all, it had witnessed the Child of Desire with its own eyes and had come into contact with so many affected things.

Who knew if it was only normal now because it was being suppressed by an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Perhaps after the next stick of incense, it would follow in the footsteps of the other members of the Demon Clan.

Just in case, it was better to stay here and wait for the moment of collapse to self-destruct, and then sweep this Shikong Haiyu once more.

…………

Near the Golden Crow World, far from the Demon Fox Great World, in an airspace through which a Space-Time Torrent passed.

Accompanied by the appearance of a ripple.

Swish!

Suddenly, a purple rhombic crystal sealing a little boy flew out.

After the crystal flickered with a few faint lights, it sped off toward the location of the Golden Crow World.

At the same moment, after Su Ping heard the pleasant message that the Abyss Challenge had been successfully passed.

He then left the Pot Heaven.

After returning alone to the airspace near the Golden Crow World.

Just as he intended to use a Teleportation Talisman to quietly return to the Xuanling World, without taking away a single wisp of cloud.

Su Ping suddenly felt something in his heart and saw the crystal speeding over from the Shikong Haiyu in the distance.

Su Ping could sense that this object had a connection with him.

Thus, his figure moved.

Su Ping appeared in front of the crystal, and a giant translucent palm appeared in an instant, grabbing the crystal.

Bringing the crystal to a sudden halt.

The purple crystal originally wanted to struggle a bit.

But in the next instant, after sensing the aura of the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor Statue radiating from Su Ping, it quieted down.

And in the next moment, the crystal transformed into a ray of light, shrinking from large to small, and turned back into a dainty crystal stone.

This exposed the figure of the Little Prince of the Hantu before Su Ping's eyes.

Glancing at this Little Prince of the Hantu, Su Ping revealed a faint smile.

With the Sun Moon Star Chart brought out, it swept away this Little Prince of the Hantu.

"Daoist, please hold your hand!"

Just as Su Ping made his move to take away the Little Prince, more than a dozen streams of light flew out from the Space-Time Torrent.

They were all experts of the Demon Fox Clan at the Return to Void and Harmony Realm.

They had chased after him according to the guidance of the Venerable Heavenly Fox, but as soon as they exited the Space-Time Torrent, they saw their target disappear.

Both shocked and furious, they hurriedly sent a message:

"This person is involved in Abyss Pollution; Daoist, do not be greedy and bring ruin upon yourself!"

Hearing the word "Abyss," Su Ping laughed instead.

What of the Abyss? If others didn't know, did he not know?

It seems this fellow had actually escaped from the Demon Fox Great World?

Su Ping did not bother to pay attention to those Demon Fox experts chasing at high speed.

He crushed the Teleportation Talisman directly and vanished instantly.

This left those pursuing Demon Foxes grasping at thin air.

Several Dao Integration Demon Foxes hurriedly took out their Artifacts and magic treasures.

Yet, unable to find any trace of the other party, they could only vent their impotent rage by blasting spells into the surrounding Void.

However, such impotent rage achieved nothing, other than triggering a reaction from the Golden Crow World side.

They had no choice but to retreat for the time being and flee back into the Space-Time Torrent.

The Demon Fox high-level leadership soon learned of this matter.

Then they discovered the location was still that same Golden Crow World.

The Demon Fox high-level leadership hurriedly reported it to the Demon Alliance and raised their suspicions.

Given the many incidents they in the Demon Alliance had encountered during this period, could it all be related to the Dao Alliance?

Although they did not believe in their hearts that any Cultivator in the Dao Alliance possessed such ability.

Faced with these repeated coincidences, the Demon Alliance high-level leadership could not help but harbor a trace of suspicion.

The Dao Alliance and the Buddha Alliance, meanwhile, mobilized their own energy, wanting to know what had happened on the Demon Fox side.

Ultimately, because the Demon Fox Great World had been destroyed and everyone involved had been wiped out, except for the Little Prince of the Hantu clan.

Even these two top-tier powers did not know much.

They only knew that a major problem had occurred in the Demon Fox Clan's Great World, suspected to be a Dark Catastrophe-level pollution event.

However, because of the incident outside the Golden Crow World, it also let them know that a suspected survivor had escaped.

For this reason, the two major powers each began searching for that suspected survivor of the Hantu clan.

Pot Heaven.

Inside the Lock Demon Tower.

Su Ping released the Little Prince of the Hantu clan, then looked at this delicate-looking youth and said slowly:

"Possession and rebirth, is this considered a natural divine ability of your Hantu clan?"

That Little Prince trembled slightly upon hearing this, then slowly opened his beautiful, ruby-like eyes and looked at Su Ping.

He opened his mouth, feeling the natural pressure brought upon him by the Lock Demon Tower.

He sighed and sat down on the cold stone floor, lowering his head:

"It is the ability of my clan's wonder, the Phantom Dream Crystal; it can only be reborn in the body of one of my own direct Bloodline."

"And the side effects are great; I feel that calling it rebirth is more like having an extra segment of memory in the host body."

"By the way, do you know why I am in such a sorry state? I am..."

"Involved with the Abyss, right?"

Su Ping knew what the other party wanted to say and answered first.

"You know? You know and you are still so bold? Are you not afraid of being polluted by the Abyss as well?"

The Hantu Prince, who had been reborn in the Little Prince's body, was somewhat surprised.

Su Ping was naturally not afraid of this; he had already received the rewards for this Abyss Challenge.

He had once again obtained five million Fishing Coins and a large number of Experience Books.

Regarding the partner exchange, it was undoubtedly given to Valkyrie Kong again, allowing her to advance to Void Lord.

Having reached the pinnacle of her profession, Valkyrie Kong did not gain any other divine abilities or special powers.

However, on the original foundation, the accumulation speed of her own Void Power and the Divine Power in the Divine Temple had both received a three-hundred-percent boost.

As her level continues to rise, the help brought by this boost will also become greater and greater.

With the remaining rare exchange, Su Ping removed the words "apprentice" from the Water Priest.

Allowing it to obtain the special skill Water Clone.

This skill can replicate a partner or summon with the original's offensive and defensive capabilities to fight.

The only flaw is that the duration decreases as the clone takes damage or consumes energy by unleashing ultimate moves.

Inside the Lock Demon Tower.

Upon realizing that this mysterious person before him was truly not worried about the threat of the Abyss.

In order to survive, the Hantu Prince honestly told him everything he knew.

He even spat out the crystal hidden in his mouth and informed him of the method of use.

"A Secret Treasure of the Hantu clan?"

"It can break through space Barriers for a short time; it is indeed a good thing for escaping."

"And it has a certain spirituality; if it continues to be nurtured, perhaps it will have a chance to become a Houtian Supreme Treasure in the hands of some Heavenly Demon."

Su Ping nodded slightly after understanding this item.

Yet he had little intention of being tempted.

This kind of escape wonder is far inferior to his Teleportation Talisman.

After listening to the account, Su Ping looked at the Hantu Prince and said:

"So, as a Secret Treasure of your clan."

"You should be able to pay a high price to buy it back, right?"

"Buy... buy it back?"

The Hantu Prince was stunned again; it was the first time he had ever heard of someone selling such a life-saving item.

If he hadn't long ago sensed that the space he was in was extremely special and the Phantom Dream Crystal couldn't take him away, the Hantu Prince would have long since wanted to try and struggle.

He was taken aback, looking at Su Ping's masked figure, feeling that the other party did not seem to be joking.

He could not help but feel a stir in his heart and plucked up the courage to say:

"Naturally, I am willing to pay a high price."

"It's just that I don't know if Your Highness wants Spirit Objects or some other special materials..."

"Spirit Stones! It is best to use High-grade Spirit Stones for the exchange!"

Su Ping did not intend to beat around the bush and spoke directly to state his requirements.

Upon hearing "High-grade Spirit Stones," the Hantu Prince breathed a sigh of relief; knowing that it was impossible for it to go out itself, it informed Su Ping of the method to contact several Great Nobles of the Hantu Clan.

Those Great Nobles all knew the significance of the Dream Crystal to the Hantu Clan.

They were willing to pay a high premium in private to acquire this Secret Treasure.

After resolving the Spirit Stone problem, which was the most important issue in Su Ping's eyes.

Su Ping began to see what had happened in the Demon Fox Great World from another perspective through the memory projection actively revealed by the Hantu Prince.

The appearance of the Lord of Seven Emotions and Six Desires was different from other Abyss Monarchs; being formless and traceless, it was clearly more bizarre and difficult to deal with.

It was no wonder that the Demon Fox Great World, which had a solid foundation of strength, ultimately had no choice but to choose to destroy the world just in case.

Although in the eyes of Su Ping, who knew the root cause, such world destruction was definitely an overreaction by the other party.

After this Lord of Seven Emotions and Six Desires completed its pollution of billions of living beings and absorbed their emotional fluctuations to give birth to the Desire Child.

As long as the Desire Child is destroyed, the Abyss Challenge is considered passed, and the subsequent pollution will naturally be eliminated.

It is just a pity that the Great Demon experts like the Heavenly Fox Venerable did not know this information.

They could only choose to sacrifice an entire Great World while in a state of frightening themselves.

Regarding this, Su Ping was happy to see it happen.

Compared to the other two great alliances, the Demon Alliance's comprehensive strength was still too strong, to the extent that those Demon Clan members were one more arrogant than the other, which was not conducive to the stability of the North King Time Domain.

Being able to weaken the power of the Demon Alliance and make it slightly more low-key had to be a great merit that saved countless living people!

Several days later, through the intelligence provided by the Hantu Prince, Su Ping had his Avatar contact a certain Great Duke of the Hantu Clan.

And then, from the other party's hands, he obtained tens of thousands of High-grade Spirit Stones.

Su Ping was also not afraid of the other party tracking him down to his true self.

After the Avatar obtained the Spirit Stones, it would always go to the Golden Crow World for a transfer.

It can be said that no matter how they investigated, they could only track it to the Golden Crow World, and after the trail was broken there, they would fall into self-doubt.

Su Ping could also learn some related secrets through his partner Tian Rulai, who had infiltrated the depths of the Buddha Realm.

For example, regarding that Heavenly Fox Venerable who caught half-demons, Su Ping learned from Tian Rulai that the other party had suffered heavy losses in this great catastrophe.

Not only were its disciples and grand-disciples almost completely wiped out.

Even it itself had almost lost half its life.

It is rumored that the divine abilities it had cultivated for a lifetime were all destroyed, and its Demon Fox Shenchong had also collapsed.

Only the main body remained, having hidden into the ancestral land of the Demon Fox Clan to linger on in a desperate struggle.

A Fomen High Monk performed a divination, and this Great Ability of the Demon Clan who once caused them trouble would no longer be a cause for concern for at least a thousand years!

This could be considered something worth rejoicing for the Dao Alliance and the Buddha Alliance.

Of course, as the Demon Alliance also suffered such a great catastrophe.

All parties had a certain sense of urgency.

An agreement was finally reached on the exploration of a portion of the Ancient Relics, and the division of their respective spheres of influence was carried out.

Tian Rulai also responded to the call of the Buddha Realm and prepared to go and explore a relic related to Fomen.

Regarding this, after exchanging intelligence, Tian Rulai invited Su Ping.

Su Ping, however, had little interest in this.

But he still took out an Avatar made from a branch of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree and gave it to Tian Rulai.

It counted as a life-saving measure.

After his development during this period, Su Ping also had some understanding of his own abilities.

He realized that by relying on the trump cards provided by the Great Abilities in the Pot Heaven, he could still put up a fight in the North King Time Domain.

And even be an overlord with a limited duration.

For the time that followed, Su Ping returned to his daily routine.

Relying on sustainable Spirit Stones, he set up Dharma Arrays in various star systems of the Water Blue Star World to activate artificial Spirit Veins on asteroids he intended to devour, so as to facilitate his own contracting, devouring, and fusion.

Mingyue, who had half-demon blood, and her younger sister both became disciples under Chiyuan Xianren, and after being taught the sword techniques Chiyuan Xianren had newly comprehended.

The cultivation of the two progressed rapidly, making Su Ping even suspect that perhaps without his participation.

This pair of half-demon siblings would also have met the Fate Child, Chiyuan Xianren, and then become his disciples, beginning their own influence on the North King Time Domain.
