Chapter 292: I'm F***ing Back Again! (Fifth Update)

Overseas, in a remote sea region.

Beneath the deep seabed, a pitch-black pit suddenly appeared, where all waters converged within the cave, while a thousand fire veins spread outward around it, like myriad stars bowing to the moon.

【Earth-Fire Sea-Heart Furnace】!

At the center of the volcanic crater, a handsome young man with a refined, scholar-like appearance held a jade slip, examining it with his spiritual sense.

After a moment, he lowered the jade slip, his face showing a troubled expression.

"The overseas regions have been unsettled lately."

Seeing Suo Huan had been in closed-door cultivation at this 【Earth-Fire Sea-Heart Furnace】 for nearly several decades; to be precise, he had secluded himself ever since Master Master Chongguang proved the 【Wu You Tian】.

There was no choice; it was the trend of the great situation.

When Master Master Chongguang proved the 【Wu You Tian】, he took all the True Persons away in one breath, and those most excited about this were the overseas forces; Lord Long even left laughing loudly.

After all the True Persons went into seclusion, the True Dragon Clan immediately poured out their entire force, beginning a comprehensive sweep of the overseas regions to search for spiritual materials, preparing for Crown Prince 【Tian Qiu】 of the Long Palace to seek the Golden Core; under such overwhelming circumstances, Seeing Suo Huan, a lone wandering cultivator from beyond the heavens with no backing, could naturally only choose to lie low for now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again.

"Sigh."

Master Master Chongguang taking away all the True Persons under heaven was a great blessing for all cultivators, but for him alone, it was a disaster as shocking as a bolt from the blue.

Because unlike others, Seeing Suo Huan needed a True Person to seek the Golden Core!

Not to mention anything else, just for the foundation of seeking the Golden Core—the realm of Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment—he needed the Son of Heaven of the Dao Court to personally confer an official rank upon him to achieve it.

But now, the Son of Heaven of the Dao Court had gone into seclusion.

The Crown Prince was supervising the state, and his attitude toward him was completely different; after several negotiations, the other party was simply unwilling to grant him an official rank corresponding to Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment.

Thus, Seeing Suo Huan was stuck in an awkward position.

For a moment, he couldn't help but reveal a look of despair: "My lifespan is nearly exhausted... Could it be that the 【Huan Xu Jie】 will truly go extinct here with me?"

He was unwilling to accept this!

But what could he do even if he was unwilling? Seeing Suo Huan dejectedly lowered his head: "At this point, I can only wait a bit longer, enduring until the True Persons return."

However, just at this moment.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire 【Earth-Fire Sea-Heart Furnace】 began to tremble violently; Seeing Suo Huan frowned and looked in the direction from which the vibration came.

Not looking would have been fine.

But one look, and he immediately jumped up.

"Bastards!"

As far as the eye could see, in the remote sea region where the 【Earth-Fire Sea-Heart Furnace】 was located, hundreds of millions of acres of seawater were forcibly lifted by a mighty power at this very moment!

Seeing Suo Huan gazed into the distance and suddenly spotted hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers standing on the sea surface; arranged in formation, they were mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the lifting of the seawater was clearly their doing. At the very front of the demon army formation stood a man and a woman with prominent horns, both old acquaintances of Lu Yang.

Dragon King Sui Ying, Dragon King Sui Ling.

These two Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Dragon Kings, now bolstered by the blessing of hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, felt their qi mechanisms surge as they stared straight in Seeing Suo Huan's direction.

"So you are indeed here."

"Are you Seeing Suo Huan?"

Facing the inquiries of the two Dragon Kings, Seeing Suo Huan turned a deaf ear, his hands trembling with rage, for his 【Earth-Fire Sea-Heart Furnace】 had already been destroyed!

It must be known that the 【Earth-Fire Sea-Heart Furnace】 was constructed based on Feng Shui principles.

Therefore, it relied most heavily on terrain and geographical features; but now, with the two Dragon Kings lifting the seawater, they had directly broken the Feng Shui and destroyed his 【Earth-Fire Sea-Heart Furnace】!

'How audacious, you demons...'

Seeing Suo Huan cursed loudly in his heart, but in the end, he could not speak those four words aloud; after all, in his current state, he could not afford to provoke the True Dragon Clan, whose momentum was currently at its peak.

"... ellow Daoists, what brings you to seek me?"

Seeing Suo Huan shook his sleeves, performing all the proper courtesies.

Sui Ying smiled slightly upon hearing this, his dragon pupils revealing a hint of mockery: "I heard that you, this wandering cultivator from beyond the heavens, possess a 【Spiritual Void Blessed Land】; I wonder if this is true or false?"

At these words, Seeing Suo Huan's heart immediately sank. 'I wondered why they came looking for me; so they have their eyes on the 【Spiritual Void Blessed Land】! Do they intend to consume my Blessed Land as a ritual instrument for seeking the Golden Core?'

This was bullying to an unbearable degree!

If it were anything else, given the might of the True Dragons, Seeing Suo Huan would have handed it over; after all, he had bowed his head more than once, and doing so one more time meant nothing.

But the 【Spiritual Void Blessed Land】 alone was non-negotiable.

Because this was the seed for the revival of the 【Huan Xu Jie】, his greatest hope for surviving to this day; if he gave it away, the 【Huan Xu Jie】 would truly be extinguished!

'... ooking for death!'

In an instant, rage rose in Seeing Suo Huan's heart, and malice sprang up beside his gall; he looked at Sui Ying and Sui Ling before him with a cold gaze, revealing a hint of killing intent.

Admittedly, the two Dragon Kings had the blessing of a formation composed of hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, but they were ultimately only at the Mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment, whereas he, regardless of how one looked at it, possessed combat power at the Late Stage; furthermore, with the blessing of the 【Spiritual Void Blessed Land】, he was no weakling even among those at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. If it truly came to a fight, he could suppress these two little dragons with a flip of his hand!

However, the moment his qi mechanism changed.

Almost simultaneously, Sui Ling and Sui Ying, seemingly well-prepared, directly took out a trident and sacrificed it into the air, reflecting shimmering, clear ripples of light.

'【Imperial Sea Trident】!'

As this weapon landed in the air, it instantly reflected myriad brilliant colors, exploding with a earth-shaking roar, while the clear sky echoed with the rumbling sound of flowing water.

"This is..."

Seeing this, Seeing Suo Huan's pupils contracted sharply; he recognized the origin of this weapon—it was none other than the personal weapon of Crown Prince 【Tian Qiu】 of the Long Palace, a superior spiritual treasure!

Moreover, the 【Imperial Sea Trident】 appearing here had clearly received a prior divine technique blessing from 【Tian Qiu】; now, when raised by Sui Ling and Sui Ying, it immediately gained the status blessing of Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment, causing the threat level of the two individuals whom Seeing Suo Huan had previously disregarded to surge several times over in an instant!

In a flash, Seeing Suo Huan felt his heart turn ice-cold.

'This is... they intend to kill me?'

Clearly, Sui Ling and Sui Ying had come prepared, and it was even possible that Crown Prince 【Tian Qiu】 of the Long Palace was secretly watching him at this very moment!

Thinking of this, Seeing Suo Huan instantly discarded all killing intent.

'Forget it; it's nothing more than fleeing once again.'

Seeing Suo Huan closed his eyes, daring not to harbor even a shred of thought of resistance; ever since he arrived in this wretched place, so-called resistance had been nothing but a pipe dream.

However, just as he was preparing to risk his life to beg for a way out, suddenly, an earth-shaking explosion erupted from the sky above, instantly spreading throughout the entire overseas region, causing countless cultivators to raise their heads in response, only to see the strong clouds parting as endless spiritual energy poured down from beyond the heavens!

It was as if the sky had collapsed!

"Is this... a realm falling from the heavens?"

Seeing Suo Huan raised his head, and in a trance, it seemed as though he had returned to the past; the former 【Huan Xu Jie】 was also like this, seized from beyond the heavens by the True Persons and brought in.

But this one before him seemed somewhat different.

It seemed to be entering voluntarily?

Before Seeing Suo Huan could sort out his thoughts, soon he witnessed a scene that left him dumbfounded: a giant hand descending from the sky, vast enough to cover the heavens and earth.

Originally, Sui Ling and Sui Ying lifting hundreds of millions of acres of seawater into the sky was already a spectacle of sufficient magnificence, not to mention they had received the status blessing of Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment, truly resembling the waters of the Milky Way; yet when this giant hand descending from the sky opened up, it pressed everything into its palm!

"Who is it!?"

Sui Ling and Sui Ying were filled with terror upon seeing this; both transformed into their true dragon forms and attempted to flee through the void, but they simply could not escape the range of the five fingers of that giant hand.

"Boom!"

Without any suspense, the next second, the five fingers of the giant hand closed together, pinching the two Dragon Kings as easily as one would pinch a small chick within its palm.

"Fellow Daoist, spare them..."

From the distant sea region, the voice of 【Tian Qiu】 came.

However, what answered him was a soft sound.

"Bang!"

Flesh and blood flew in all directions; the two Dragon Kings were instantly annihilated. Subsequently, the light and shadow of the giant hand dimmed, divine light rolled back, and a tall figure of a young man manifested.

"I'm f***ing back in this wretched place again!"

Looking around, a ferocious smile appeared on Lu Yang's face.

As for 【Tian Qiu】's words, he simply did not take them to heart at all.

Spare them?

He had returned this time precisely to raise arms in total war!
