Chapter 431

「Boom! 」

The huge ancient chariot, radiating resplendent divine light, shot forth like a divine mountain above the Void; wherever it passed, the Void trembled, space twisted, and evolved into a towering brilliant Dao-patterned road.

The Xuanji Holy Lord wore a purple robe, her figure absolutely beautiful; her long jade legs dangled atop the ancient chariot, revealing her fair, snow-white calves and jade feet, upon which appeared strands of divine radiance like flower petals.

Lu Xuan stood behind the Xuanji Holy Lord, wearing a white robe, leisurely reclining.

The Xuanji Holy Lord's eyes flickered.

She naturally understood Lu Xuan's intention.

They would temporarily leave Nan Huang, to build momentum for Ye Chen!

Although the Demon Lord is dead, there are still several supreme-level forces harboring ulterior motives at the heart of Nan Huang!

After Lu Xuan appeared in Nan Huang this time, for a short while no one dared to bully the weak or target Ye Chen!

This is a period of growth for Ye Chen.

Elsewhere.

In the Demon Court, the Heavenly Fury Ancestor, Feng Wanshan Ancestor, and a host of great demons gathered in the main hall with grim expressions.

The Heavenly Fury Ancestor looked ferocious, killing intent reaching the heavens: "That damned White-robed Supreme, how dare he hang the Demon Lord's head outside? It's utterly unreasonable!"

Feng Wanshan also felt a sense of shame.

The White-robed Supreme had previously insulted their Demon Court several times.

This time it was an utter humiliation!

The foundations of the three supreme beings of the Demon Court were thus blatantly slapped in the face!

The Heavenly Fury Ancestor, killing intent surging, looked at Feng Wanshan: "Are we really going to sit and wait for death? My suggestion is to charge straight into the Grand Dao Sect! Kill! Let both jade and stone burn!"

Feng Wanshan shook his head slightly, knowing the Heavenly Fury Ancestor had been blinded by killing intent.

You must know their goal is to attain the supreme Dao!

One must not fall into madness due to a temporary setback, for that would only cause greater loss.

Feng Wanshan looked grimly toward the hall's exterior: "With the Demon Lord dead, all of Nan Huang will fear Ye Chen, fear the White-robed Supreme, fear the Grand Dao Sect. Yet the White-robed Supreme never said the Demon Lord was killed by him."

"Who killed him doesn't matter; what matters is that I sense the White-robed Supreme's contempt. The Demon Lord's death is not something to be spoken of to outsiders."

"What's more important is that he is truly building momentum for Ye Chen! Ye Chen is already a Nine-Star Emperor; the White-robed Supreme's aim is likely truly to cultivate Ye Chen."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Fury Ancestor grew even more furious: "How? Does Ye Chen intend to step on our heads to attain the supreme Dao?"

Feng Wanshan pondered deeply: "The human race has an old saying: before any great undertaking, one must have calm composure. Now we must not act recklessly."

The Heavenly Fury Ancestor said, "Prepare the foundation ceremony for the Demon Lord for me."

Feng Wanshan replied, "Very well. The Demon Court cannot go a day without a Demon Lord!"

The Demon Court began preparing the foundation ceremony for the new Demon Lord.

At this moment.

The Xuanji Holy Lord drove the ancient chariot, traversing the Void across the myriad realms.

「Boom! 」

「Crack! 」

Wherever it passed, the Void continually tore apart; towering power roared like a vast sea.

All the strong ones looked toward the Void in utter shock.

It was actually the Xuanji Holy Lord driving the chariot!

And the White-robed Supreme stood with hands behind his back, bearing the Azure Abyss, an invincible bearing.

The myriad provinces immediately erupted in commotion.

Lu Xuan directly declared, "After a while, I won't be in Nan Huang. If anyone now has an opinion of me, come fight me directly."

But none of the eight supreme-level forces made a move.

Lu Xuan swaggered past the Supreme Profound Sect, yet still no one acted.

Several ancestors could not help but exclaim, "Is the White-robed Supreme really bullying people too much? Do they think that with the Demon Lord dead, Nan Huang has no strong ones left?"

The Tai Chen Ancestor flicked his sleeve: "Endure! Wait for the holy maiden to refine all her inherited power. Now the White-robed Supreme is mighty, and do you really think he is just a single person?"

"He is fishing!"

"Even the Tai Ye Ancestor died on the Supreme Dao; we cannot afford to lose any more top-tier combat power."

Nangong Baxue lifted her gaze to the Void; Lu Xuan's ancient chariot shone like a great sun illuminating the Void, her face icy, she bit her lip: "White-robed Supreme, your time is short. Once I refine all my inherited power, it will be your death!"

"The Supreme Profound Sect has never feared the Grand Dao Sect! We are your bane!"

Three days later.

Lu Xuan departed, issuing a proclamation to Nan Huang.

"This lifetime's Supreme Dao is the proving ground for my disciple Ye Chen."

"But you may all enter! After all, bathing in stellar power is also beneficial for your comprehension of the Dao."

Lu Xuan's voice spread through all major human merchant guilds across the myriad realms.

Everyone was utterly shocked.

The White-robed Supreme never stepped onto the Supreme Dao again!

In this lifetime, he actually does not go to the Supreme Dao?

In the Demon Court, the Heavenly Fury Ancestor has become the new Demon King, his face furious, he swore to the heavens: "This White-robed Supreme is too arrogant; I will surely kill him! If I do not kill this person, I cannot enter the supreme realm!"

At this moment.

Lu Xuan had already brought the Xuanji Holy Lord to the boundary wall.

The Nan Huang boundary wall, as if heaven and earth had been cut by an irregular slash, formed a towering bulwark like a heavenly moat, filled with mysterious and obscure power, appearing as if the heavens had descended upon the world.

This boundary wall separates Nan Huang from the Central Realm, the Western Desert, and the Eastern Wasteland.

Separated by a wall, one can directly cross into the three domains.

Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes glimmered as her slender jade hand struck out a Heaven-Piercing Palm toward the boundary wall.

This palm was like a silver river surging, sweeping through the void, ripping heaven and earth, yet when it struck the boundary wall, it was like a mud ox entering the sea—raising no ripple, instead stirring up waves of Dao patterns.

Heaven-Earth Dao Patterns!

Supreme-level Dao Patterns!

Lu Xuan looked at Xuanji Holy Lord and asked, "How much do you know about the Eastern Wasteland?"

Xuanji Holy Lord said, "In the Eastern Wasteland, the Ji family is the absolute hegemon, having given birth to four supremes, plus the Sikong family, the ancient Chen family, the Cloud Sword Sect, and other supreme-level powers."

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile.

The Ji family.

Old Three once said that several elders of the Ji family had pursued his four disciples.

The Ji family's current guardian elder, Ji Yue, is also one of Xuanji Holy Lord's admirers.

Lu Xuan asked, "Bai Li, have you refined the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone?"

Xuanji Holy Lord extended her snow-white jade hand, upon which a strand of brilliant divine radiance flowed, revealing countless threads and surging with a power of law.

The Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone has been completely refined by Xuanji Holy Lord!

Lu Xuan nodded. "Not bad."

A moment later.

Lu Xuan directly activated the spiritual technique given to him by the green-skirted little girl; with a thought, an incomparably mysterious power surged around both of them, darkness uniting with the Dao, like countless starlight.

Boom!

The two stepped into the boundary wall.

Lu Xuan's divine sense swept over the Eastern Wasteland.

He discovered that the Eastern Wasteland is several times the size of Nan Huang.

In the Eastern Wasteland he sensed several powerful forces, which should be the supreme-level powers mentioned by Xuanji Holy Lord.

However, almost the entire Eastern Wasteland has been swept by strange power, equivalent to a magnified version of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.

Strange power exists almost everywhere!

Lu Xuan scanned and directly locked onto the nearest supreme-level power in the Eastern Wasteland.

Sikong Family!

Within the Sikong family's territory, let Xuanji Holy Lord begin absorbing strange power to cultivate.

Boom!

The two figures slowly walked out from within the boundary wall; Lu Xuan's thought moved, and the Heaven-Piercing Spatial Array Patterns surged, flying directly toward a deep abyss rich in strange power near the Sikong family.

At the same time.

Within the Sikong family's strange abyss.

Lu Xuan and Xuanji Holy Lord's figures suddenly descended.

Xuanji Holy Lord frowned slightly, "Something here feels off."
