Chapter 441: Three Heavenly Demon Emperors! What Is Huangquan? Two Die, One Escapes!

Endless Fire Realm, Burning Sky Mountain Range, underground cavern.

A spatial fissure abruptly opened, and silhouettes darted out.

Compared with before departure, everyone now looks rather disheveled, each bearing some injuries.

Some even bear severe wounds, on the brink of death.

War inevitably brings death; it cannot be avoided.

When Xiao Yan stepped out of the fissure, it instantly collapsed, erasing the spatial node as well, leaving no trace.

The petite Huo Ling is being held in Cai Lin's arms, her small face smeared with blood, a deep bone‑visible wound across her chest.

Her aura remains relatively stable, but such grave injuries will inevitably require time to heal.

Compared to Huo Ling, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er are even more disheveled, both covered in wounds, their auras depleted.

Cai Lin, on the other hand, is in much better shape, though her spiritual energy is somewhat overdrawn.

Looking down at the Huo Ling in her arms, Cai Lin pursed her red lips and solemnly said, "Thank you…".

Their side proceeded smoothly; before the battle began, the Evil Clan detected no irregularities.

This allowed them to strike by surprise, wiping out one of the thirty‑two external great clans in a short span, but during the retreat they were intercepted by several Heavenly Demon Emperors.

It seems something major occurred within the Evil Clan; of the original five Heavenly Demon Emperors, two suddenly departed.

This gave the group a glimmer of hope in the dire situation; ultimately, using the Spatial Jade Pendant, they barely shook off three Heavenly Demon Emperors.

Yet as they entered the spatial tunnel, the three Heavenly Demon Emperors pursued; Huo Ling fought a Heavenly Demon Emperor alone, while Xiao Yan, his spouse, Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong each teamed up to hold back the other two.

In the end they finally managed to retreat, but at the last moment Cai Lin was nearly slain by a Heavenly Demon Emperor; Huo Ling's flesh shielded her, sustaining the severe injury.

Huo Ling waved a hand, then looked at Dan Tong and Xiao Xiao, furrowing her brow: "Are you alright?"

Their auras were a bit chaotic, but they shook their heads: "It's fine, just a wound to the core; a period of rest will restore us."

At that moment, Yao Chen arrived with numerous alchemists from the Endless Fire Realm, beginning to heal the many strong ones.

Not seeing Chu Yang, Xiao Yan was slightly surprised and asked, "Master, where is King Chu?"

Yao Chen helped Huo Ling stabilize her strength, then said, "He said… he made plans with a few friends to go out for a stroll…"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression shifted.

They risked their lives, only to learn the leader spent the time sightseeing; anyone would feel uneasy.

Xiao Yan furrowed his brows even more, feeling Chu Yang unlikely to act this way, unable to decipher his intent.

But he quickly cleared his thoughts and asked Yao Chen, "How's the Martial Realm?"

Yao Chen shook his head, deep voice saying, "No news yet!"

…………

Canglan Plane.

As time passed, the polluted sea has largely evolved, countless members of the Huangquan Evil Clan perished at the hands of the Original Body of Martial Essence.

Chu Yang remained standing on void, arms crossed, his gaze indifferent.

The Huangquan Evil Clan trades lives for time; isn't he also waiting? He's waiting for the Huangquan Demon Emperor! In fact this is part of Chu Yang's plan, though he never mentioned it to anyone.

Unaware of the impending assault from behind, to confront the Great Thousand Realm Demon Buddha, the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor, to be safe, will certainly bring all top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperors along.

Thus, even if the Endless Fire Realm and the Martial Realm cause a stir, top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperors won't be able to provide immediate aid.

The Evil Clan can only muster nearby early‑stage or mid‑stage Heavenly Demon Emperors to block the retreat of both sides, limiting losses.

When Chu Yang left those two spatial nodes, he surveyed the surrounding Evil Clan distribution.

Around the target in the Endless Fire Realm, six major Evil Clans each host a seated Heavenly Demon Emperor, one of which is the Huangquan Evil Clan.

Chu Yang arrived on Canglan Continent, openly declaring his identity; upon receiving the news, the Huangquan Demon Emperor must make a decision.

Obviously, compared with an unknown Great Thousand Realm force, the Evil Clan will regard Chu Yang as a major internal threat.

Thus summoning the Huangquan Demon Emperor effectively eases some pressure on Xiao Yan's group.

After all, the top warriors of the Endless Fire Realm are slightly weaker than those in the Martial Realm.

The missing piece is Tang Huo'er, capable of matching a mid‑stage Saint Product! As the sea is now largely purified and the Huangquan Evil Clan suffers heavy losses, Chu Yang's gaze sharpens.

Here they come!

And it's not just the Huangquan Demon Emperor! Another Heavenly Demon Emperor, no weaker, joins—two mid‑stage and one early‑stage Heavenly Demon Emperors!

A cold glint flashes in Chu Yang's eyes; this is the strongest foe he has faced since entering the Great Thousand Realm.

In his view, this will become his most dazzling achievement since entering the Great Thousand Realm! In fact, Chu Yang's daring shows his absolute confidence.

That confidence stems from his cultivation now at the Immortal Product stage, and the recent compromise of the World Will! "Boom—Boom—Boom!!!"

Three terrifying auras surge skyward, instantly shaking the entire Canglan Plane; the sea surface roils wildly, and the Sea Emperor Palace, sheltered by the Azure Sea and Azure Pearl, teeters on collapse.

At this moment, all Sea Clan members in the Sea Emperor Palace hold their breath, eyes fixed on the projected image.

They know the upcoming battle will directly affect the future fate of the Canglan Plane.

Whether it ends in nirvana or annihilation rests on Chu Yang alone! "I've long heard of King Chu's fame; I never expected you to step forward from the Great Thousand Realm instead of hiding!"

A cold voice rang out, then a muscular hulking man in silver armor stepped through the void.

Each step shatters space, testament to his terrifying physical power.

"Qianjun Demon Emperor? You actually dare wade into this murky water, that's…"

Chu Yang squinted, a playful smile on his lips.

At that moment, a seductive woman clad only in a three‑pointed cloth appeared beside the Qianjun Demon Emperor, arms encircling his neck, cooing:

"Chu Yang, to deal with you I have paid a hefty price…"

"So today, you'll stay here!"

The Qianjun Demon Emperor let out a lewd laugh, disregarding Chu Yang, groping the seductive woman, then grinned:

"I still must thank you; aside from the top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperors, I will be the first to receive the service of the Huangquan Demon Emperor!"

Seeing the two fellows singing in unison, Chu Yang's expression couldn't help being a little odd.

Another figure materialized, wearing only a bellyband; the Demonic Spring Demon Emperor, looking like a little girl, stared intently at Chu Yang, licked the corner of her mouth, and in a husky voice laughed, "Heh heh… King Chu truly lives up to the rumors, handsome and graceful!" She turned her head toward the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor and said, "Sister, before you kill him, you must let little sister me experience the feeling of the Human Race's Heavenly Champion…"

Damn! Three crazy perverts, the Evil Clan truly has no normal ones!

Chu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, then his gaze slowly turned icy, and he said lightly, "I've waited so long, and yet no late‑stage Heavenly Demon Emperor appeared; that really disappoints me a bit."

The Yellow Spring Demon Emperor's coquettish smile suddenly faded, and she said coldly, "Such bold words, shameless!"

As the words fell, three figures rushed toward Chu Yang together.

The three showed no restraint, each a cautionary tale placed there; all the Evil Clan strongmen who had underestimated Chu Yang now have gravesite weeds three zhang tall.

The Demonic Spring Demon Emperor suddenly turned into a pool of foul‑smelling blood, coalescing into a blood arrow that shot straight at Chu Yang!

She was the weakest of the three and knew she couldn't face Chu Yang head‑on, so she used her destined divine skill, even sacrificing her source, employing a life‑for‑life technique!

Facing this move, even a mid‑stage Saint Product strongman would find it hard to retreat unscathed.

Her goal was simple: a single strike and retreat; even if she couldn't heavily wound Chu Yang, she was confident she could distract him, leaving him unable to deal with the other two's attacks.

Chu Yang watched the blood arrow drawing nearer, squinting slightly, and raised his hand in a feigned grasp.

At once, the space of the Canglan Plane began to quake violently, as if overloaded; fissures formed on the sea surface, seawater surged upward into the sky, darkening the heavens like an apocalyptic scene.

The space above Chu Yang collapsed inch by inch, and finally a spiritual light barrier extended out from the shattered void.

The barrier was extremely ethereal, yet faintly one could see what seemed to be mountains, rivers, trees, and all living things etched upon it.

The barrier fell onto Chu Yang, then rapidly condensed, finally becoming a long sword exuding a terrifying aura.

Chu Yang raised his hand as if drawing a sword, then slashed! Extreme Sword Art·Flash! A golden bolt of lightning flashed by with a roar of thunder, and Chu Yang vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already before the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor, but the Original Body of Martial Essence remained where it had been.

The Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor's steps were heavy; each stride lifted his body several zhang, and in the blink of an eye he became a colossal giant that pierced the heavens, his fist, as massive as a mountain peak, crashing down heavily!

He had intended to use that punch, together with the Demonic Spring Demon Emperor, to heavily damage Chu Yang, but now lacking a target, he could only redirect the fist toward the Original Body of Martial Essence.

They had all heard that Chu Yang's Supreme Dharma Body was bizarre and powerful, one of his greatest trump cards.

Thus, in the Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor's view, as long as he could shatter Chu Yang's Supreme Dharma Body, this Human Race's Heavenly Champion would be no different from a tiger with broken teeth.

But just as the Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor's fist was unleashed, a phantom of a demonic dragon and demonic elephant emerged behind the Original Body of Martial Essence.

The demonic patterns on the body's left arm and chest seemed to come alive, some merging onto the left fist, while the rest were devoured by the dragon‑elephant phantom.

As the dragon‑elephant phantom merged into the left fist, the Original Body of Martial Essence delivered a punch; the space above the Canglan Plane shattered completely, turning into void! Seventy‑eight pattern Extreme Heavenly Demon Force! Feeling that terrifying power, the Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor's complexion changed dramatically, but the arrow was already loosed; he could neither flee nor defend, forced to brace head‑on against the Original Body of Martial Essence.

"Bang!!"

The terrifying after‑shock of force swept away, water dragons spiraled straight into the sky, and the entire ocean of the Canglan Plane was engulfed in a tsunami, as if countless undersea volcanoes erupted simultaneously!

The Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor's gaze became a bit dazed; the imagined pain never arrived, and he only felt his fist instantly lose sensation.

Then his arm, and then his chest.

When Chu Yang forged a sword from a corner of the world and slashed a Flash, the blood arrow formed by the Demonic Spring Demon Emperor seemed to freeze in time, hanging motionless in mid‑air.

At that moment the Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor suddenly saw the blood arrow explode into a puff of blood mist in an instant, the Demonic Spring Demon Emperor's wail rang out, and then her flesh re‑coalesced.

Across the Demonic Spring Demon Emperor's chest was a terrifying, gruesome sword scar, nearly cleaving her entire body in two.

The last thought in the Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor's mind was incomprehensible, but when he looked down at his own body, he only saw a vast ocean below.

In the next instant, the Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor's consciousness completely dissipated.

Under the boost of Extreme Heavenly Demon Force, the Original Body of Martial Essence used only one punch, yet it annihilated the Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor body and soul! Meanwhile, the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor never intended close combat, staying at a distance and assuming the role of a "Mage."

Seeing Chu Yang suddenly appear before her, she did not hesitate to withdraw violently, spreading both arms; the blood sea below churned, coalescing behind him into a pool of crimson spring water.

Chu Yang! To die beneath the Fated Yellow Spring forged for me by the Holy Celestial Lord would not be a waste of your Human Race Heavenly Champion name!

The Yellow Spring Demon Emperor's voice was full of confidence; she roamed among the top Heavenly Demon Emperors, and with her unique abilities, she earned the favor of many great figures.

This Fated Yellow Spring, personally forged for her by the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor, is one of her greatest supports!

Chu Yang merely stood where he was, lifted his eyelids, and sneered, "Yellow Spring?"

Black darkness coiled, and Fengdu sprang into his hand.

Chu Yang slashed with a sword, and yellow spring water surged across the sky, directly confronting that pool of blood spring.

Despicable tactics, yet you dare to call it Yellow Spring?

The so‑called Fated Yellow Spring of the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor, when confronted with a true Yellow Spring, was like pouring hot oil onto ice and snow; in an instant it turned into wisps of light smoke, evaporating into nothingness.

In just a few breaths, the Fated Yellow Spring that the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor regarded as her greatest reliance was engulfed by the Yellow Spring Chu Yang summoned, and was completely corroded.

Then the yellow spring water swirling across the sky directly submerged the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor, and a corridor bridge rose above the water.

On the far side of the corridor bridge lay reincarnation! The Yellow Spring Demon Emperor felt her power sealed to about seventy‑odd percent, while the yellow spring water contained threads of destructive aura.

With her own power sealed, in the blink of an eye her flesh was washed by the yellow spring water into a skeletal corpse.

Immediately the skeletal remains shattered, leaving only her soul‑form, just as she tried to flee.

Suddenly a single ghostly hand appeared around her, gripping her tightly and dragging her backward.

Behind the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor, the ghost gate flung open!

Feeling the Primordial Qi in his dantian's singularity, now almost depleted, Chu Yang let out a long sigh.

If he hadn't already broken through the Saint Product, these three successive killing moves would likely have completely exhausted his Primordial Qi.

He slowly raised his head, Chu Yang simultaneously restored his expenditure through the energy of the Holy Sun Realm, and looked toward the direction where the Demonic Spring Demon Emperor fled.

There was still one fish that slipped through the net, but it was the weakest among the three Heavenly Demon Emperors, already not worth fearing!

Chu Yang did not pursue, because he needed to keep a living mouth strong enough and with some influence beyond the domain, to report the events of the Canglan Plane to the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor.

As for the purpose?

He wants to force the Evil Clan to make a choice!

Either tear their faces, sparing no cost to eliminate him, for from any angle, his future could very well surpass the Immortal Great Emperor!

Or, find a way to help the Celestial Evil God break the seal early and take charge of the overall situation! (End of chapter)
