Chapter 397

North Shan Bu Zhou, Spirit Ruins wilderness.

Above the dark red chasm tens of thousands of miles wide, violent evil-spirit tornadoes were raging endlessly.

This forbidden land had swallowed countless living beings over tens of thousands of years; even Tai Yi Golden Immortals did not dare to easily set foot here.

Within the Xuanhuang light, two figures stepped steadily into the void.

Su Chen supported the Chaos Bell with one hand, his green robes flapping in the gale, and Sun Wukong stood beside him, his golden hair dancing wildly in the wind.

The moment the two rushed out of the Spirit Ruins, the surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy surged crazily.

The Heavenly Dao laws of the Three Realms pressed down instantly.

Su Chen closed his eyes, sensing the changes in his surroundings in detail.

He had condensed his Great Luo Dao Fruit in the space-time barrier; now returning to the Three Realms, his Hunyuan magic power belonging to a Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian began to resonate with the Heavenly Dao laws of the current world.

The laws of the Primordial period were violent and direct, carrying a primitive, barbaric aura.

And the current Three Realms' Heavenly Dao laws were more detailed and perfect, like an invisible and tight net, shrouding all things.

Within Su Chen's dantian, the Jin Dan that had turned chaos-colored rotated slowly, releasing Hunyuan aura.

This aura repelled the assimilation of external laws, yet perfectly fit between heaven and earth.

A Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian jumps out of the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements; this is the special nature of the Great Luo Realm.

"Finally back." Sun Wukong took a deep breath of the cold air carrying a hint of desolation and grinned.

His Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian peak magic power circulated within him, forcing back all the surrounding evil spirits.

Su Chen put away the Chaos Bell, the Xuanhuang light retracting into his brow.

He raised his right hand, his knuckles calculating rapidly.

A moment later, Su Chen opened his eyes, a trace of extreme astonishment flashing through them, which then transformed into undisguised ecstasy.

"Monkey Brother." Su Chen turned to look at Sun Wukong, his voice filled with irrepressible joy. "Guess, we stayed in that space-time barrier for hundreds of years; how long has passed outside?"

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and shook his head: "Shouldn't it also be hundreds of years outside?"

Su Chen shook his head and waved one hand: "Less than five years."

"What?!" Sun Wukong's golden pupils widened abruptly, and he almost pulled out a tuft of monkey hair. "Five years? You didn't calculate wrong?"

"Can't be wrong." Su Chen looked up at the gray sky and let out a long breath of turbid air.

In the space-time barrier, they had experienced hundreds of years of time.

These hundreds of years were solid, real cultivation time.

Su Chen's heart was surging.

When he first learned that the Tribulation was approaching, he urgently needed to improve his strength, so he wanted to find the Chaos Bell and use its great power to twist space-time to gain cultivation time. Who

could have thought that by a twist of fate, they were sucked into the space-time barrier and actually realized this concept perfectly.

In these five years, he not only deduced the "Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Axes" to the extreme but also created the "Chaos Nine Turns," which surpassed the limits of Primordial physical cultivation.

The physical body of the seventh turn was enough to withstand the attacks of a Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian.

He had walked the Hunyuan Great Dao, condensed the Great Luo Dao Fruit, and officially stepped into the Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian Realm, not to mention that he had also obtained the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell.

Sun Wukong had also gained huge rewards.

Not only had his cultivation reached the peak of the Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian, but he had also obtained Tai Yi's Demon Emperor Seal, carrying the last foundation of the Demon Clan.

This was simply an unimaginable stroke of fortune.

Sun Wukong realized this and slapped his thigh, "To gain hundreds of years of cultivation time for no reason, this is truly a great fortune!"

Su Chen was just about to reply when his expression suddenly shifted.

He turned his head, his gaze sweeping toward the red wilderness in the distance.

Hundreds of miles away from them, behind several scorched giant rocks, several extremely obscure demon auras were hidden.

If it were the Su Chen of before, he might still need to release his spiritual sense to investigate carefully, but now that he had achieved Great Luo, his perception far exceeded the past.

"There are rats." Sun Wukong also noticed it and snorted coldly.

Where those demon auras were located were several scouts from the Demon Master Palace.

Back when Yuan Jiu and the Heaven-Swallowing Demon King died in North Shan Bu Zhou, the Demon Master Palace was furious and sent a large number of scouts to search for clues on the outskirts of the Spirit Ruins.

Behind the giant rocks, three Earth Immortal Realm demon scouts lay on the ground, trembling all over.

They were originally ordered to monitor the Spirit Ruins; who knew that the earth-shattering Xuanhuang light would erupt from the chasm just now, followed by the appearance of two people.

"That's... the monkey from the portrait!" One scout saw Sun Wukong's appearance clearly. "Quick! Send a sound transmission talisman to notify Lord Peng Demon King!"

He scrambled to take out a jade talisman, intending to crush it.

But they did not know that their every move was already under the gaze of Su Chen and Sun Wukong.

Su Chen raised his right hand, pressed his index and middle fingers together, and made a casual swipe toward the giant rocks.

But the moment Su Chen swiped his fingers, the space there suddenly fluctuated.

The Great Luo Tai Yi Jin Xian's Hunyuan magic power, fused with space laws, directly cut a crack at the location of the scouts.

"Click."

Before the scout could crush the jade talisman in his hand, he and his two companions beside him froze instantly.

The next breath, the three Earth Immortal Realm demons did not even have time to let out a scream before their bodies disintegrated directly.

Skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs were turned into a mass of extremely fine blood mist under the strangulation of space laws and drifted away with the wind.

The giant rocks remained intact, leaving only three dark red bloodstains on the ground.

Sun Wukong looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows: "Younger brother, your methods are becoming more and more efficient."

Su Chen withdrew his hand, his tone flat: "Since the Demon Master Palace is still looking for us, it means that in these five years, Kun Peng still hasn't dared to directly attack Flower-Fruit Mountain."

"Let's go, back to Flower-Fruit Mountain!" Sun Wukong had been away from Flower-Fruit Mountain for a long time and could no longer suppress his desire to return.

"Good."

The two did not linger.

Sun Wukong's figure flickered, he flipped his Somersault Cloud, and transformed into a golden stream of light that shot straight into the sky.

A flash of Hunyuan golden light appeared under Su Chen's feet, and he followed Sun Wukong closely.

The two streams of light drove side by side, tearing through the cloud sea of North Shan Bu Zhou, heading straight for the East Sea.

Now that both of their cultivations had improved, their speed was even better than before; in less than a day, the two crossed the endless territory and saw the blue sea surface of the East Sea.

In the distance, the outline of Flower-Fruit Mountain gradually became clear.

At this time, Flower-Fruit Mountain had changed compared to five years ago.

Looking down from high altitude, the entire island was shrouded by a massive mountain-protecting formation.

The formation circulated with five-colored brilliance, and on the formation nodes, the starlight of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang and Seventy-Two Earthly Sha faintly flickered.

This was clearly Bai Ze's handiwork; the formation contained the shadow of the ancient Demon Court's Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, and although simple, its defensive power was astonishing.

The island was filled with spiritual energy, and cranes were singing in unison.

Countless demon soldiers were drilling in the mountains and forests, their shouts shaking heaven and earth.

Although the demon aura was soaring, it was not chaotic at all, instead revealing a kind of orderly and vibrant vitality.

"It seems Senior Bai Ze has managed the Demon Alliance quite well." Su Chen said with a smile as he looked at the scene below.

Sun Wukong grinned: "With Old Man Bai Ze, this Demon Alliance Leader has much less to worry about."

The two did not disturb the patrolling demon soldiers.

They passed through the mountain-protecting formation silently and landed on the mountain peak where Bai Ze's cave dwelling was located.

As soon as they landed, Su Chen heard a gentle and vicissitudinous voice coming from the cave dwelling ahead.

"The number of heaven and earth starts at one and ends at nine. Demon Clan cultivation focuses on polishing the physical body and refining the origin. You must remember, do not blindly covet magic spells and supernatural powers while neglecting your own bloodline foundation..."

Bai Ze was preaching.

Besides Bai Ze, there were two familiar Tai Yi Jin Xian auras inside the cave dwelling.
