Chapter 442: Three Saints Snatch the Relic! Borrow the Heavenly Gate Across Space!

The decisive battle a few hundred years later?

Chu Yang doesn't want to wait that long; he further displays his strength and talent, making the Outer Evil Tribe feel a strong sense of crisis, and this is only the first step that forces them to make a decision ahead of schedule.

Soon after, Chu Yang will also act from both the Great Thousand Transform Demon Array and the Azure Sky List, leaving the Outer Evil Tribe with no way to escape.

Chu Yang lightly waved his hand, and the Original Body of Martial Essence swooped into the sea once again.

The Yellow Spring Evil Tribe of the Canglan Plane has begun a rapid retreat; evidently, the Demon Spring Demon Emperor, seeing the unfavorable situation, issued orders at once.

But this is unimportant to Chu Yang; those weak, low‑level evil tribes contribute negligible benefits to the Saint Heart Demon‑Refining Formula.

Returning once more to the Sea Emperor Palace, Chu Yang finds that the power of the Azure Sea Azure Pearl has already dissipated; at this moment all the sea peoples gather together, each looking uplifted, some already moved to tears.

They look at Chu Yang, their eyes filled with zeal and reverence.

"Saint Lord!"

The voices of numerous strong ones converge, causing the previously calm sea to surge once more.

Chu Yang waves his hand, looks at Cang Miao and says, "Give me the Azure Sea Azure Pearl, and also find the Plane Spirit as soon as possible."

"I will use the Azure Sea Warehouse Pearl to seal the spatial nodes connecting the Canglan Plane to the Outer realms, and through the Plane Spirit, completely cleanse the evil energy within the Canglan Plane."

"After this, I will link the Canglan Plane with the Great Thousand Realm; then my Great Summer Dynasty will guide you and provide protection."

"The people of the Sea God Temple are also waiting for you within the Great Summer Dynasty."

Cang Miao's eyes redden, nodding repeatedly, hurriedly handing over the Azure Sea Azure Pearl.

But at this moment the Azure Sea Azure Sky has completely lost its luster; the pearl that was once crystal‑clear like jade now looks like an ordinary stone.

After a hesitation, Cang Miao tentatively says, "Saint Lord, the power of the Azure Sea Azure Pearl is exhausted and it is severely damaged…"

Chu Yang raises his hand and cuts her off, "No problem, I will repair it; it will be sufficient to seal the spatial nodes."

Hearing him say that, Cang Miao's beautiful eyes instantly brighten.

The Azure Sea Azure Pearl is the Canglan Plane's top treasure; beyond its own function, it serves as a unique symbol.

After all, it is a relic left by Senior Xuanwu; as the merfolk queen, she naturally does not wish the Azure Sea Azure Pearl to be left to gather dust.

In fact, there is no need for such trouble; as long as Chu Yang merges with the Plane Spirit, he can wield the Plane Power to effortlessly erase the spatial nodes.

But the Plane Spirit is of great use to him, and merging it now would be a bit of a waste of talent.

The subsequent events go smoothly; repairing the Azure Sea Azure Pearl is not difficult for Chu Yang, and the merfolk, once the Canglan Plane's overlords, naturally have many ways to locate the Plane Spirit.

During the waiting period, the Yellow Spring Evil has completely retreated, but suffered heavy losses under the slaughter of the Original Body of Martial Essence.

Moreover, with the Demon Spring Demon Emperor gravely wounded and the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor fallen, this so‑called one of the Outer Thirty‑two Great Clans is now merely a name without substance.

Even waiting for the Demon Spring Demon Emperor to recover, he will find it hard to return to his peak.

In other words, Chu Yang single‑handedly turned the Outer Thirty‑two Great Clans into thirty‑one!

Or, to be precise...

Now it would be more accurate to call it twenty‑nine great clans! Because the Demon‑Slaying Plan went smoothly; both the Martial Realm and the Endless Fire Realm encountered some trouble, but ultimately it was a safe success, wiping out two major evil clans with minimal loss!

Martial Realm.

Ying Huanhuan, who only recently regained consciousness and truly revived, did not take part in the Demon‑Slaying Plan.

Although she has revived, her strength and cultivation remain at the pre‑fall level, far behind Lin Dong and the others.

Ying Huanhuan knows clearly that, rather than being a burden beside Lin Dong, she would be better staying in the Martial Realm to hold the rear and oversee the overall situation.

Before the operation began, she had already learned the detailed plan from Lin Dong, which gave Ying Huanhuan confidence in this action.

After all, the Demon‑Slaying operation had been prepared for a long time, almost with absolute certainty, and besides, compared with the Endless Fire Realm, the Martial Realm also has a Great Summer Empress not inferior to a Saint Product.

But upon learning that the Endless Fire Realm had already succeeded, causing less than thirty percent loss and that the remaining participants all withdrew unscathed, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help feeling nervous.

In theory, the overall strength of the Martial Realm should surpass that of the Endless Fire Realm, and both sides target the two lowest‑ranked races among the Outer Thirty‑two Great Clans.

If the Endless Fire Realm can succeed, yet our side's people are still delayed, something feels off.

As time ticks by, Ying Huanhuan grows increasingly restless, and the whole Martial Realm's atmosphere becomes somewhat oppressive.

In the great hall, Ice Spirit Ancestor looks at the worried Ying Huanhuan and comforts,

"Chief, there is no need to worry; with the Great Summer Empress and Ao Ting Dragon Emperor, this operation will be flawless!"

Ying Huanhuan nods, saying nothing more.

At that moment, the two simultaneously feel a violent spatial disturbance, glance at each other, and see surprise in each other's eyes.

Then their bodies turn into flowing light, darting out of the hall straight toward the spatial portal.

When they arrive, the spatial portal is already open, streams of figures pouring out one after another, each drenched in blood, clearly having endured a fierce battle.

When Ao Ting steps out from behind the hall and erases the spatial portal, Ying Huanhuan and Ice Spirit Ancestor both feel a sudden heaviness in their hearts.

Because compared to before departure, this team has lost nearly half its members! Moreover, even those who returned alive are mostly severely wounded.

The strong ones stationed behind the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion rush over immediately.

Most of them were once alchemists; they quickly produce various pills and combine special formations to help everyone recover their injuries.

Ao Ting and Tang Huo'er also suffer serious injuries; the former has lost an arm and will need time to heal.

The latter's spiritual power and soul are severely depleted, and his breath is weak.

Conversely, Lin Dong's condition is relatively optimistic, but his expression is extremely grim, because Lin Qingtan is gravely injured, even life‑threatening.

After catching his breath, Tang Huo'er pulls out a pill personally refined by Chu Yang, stuffs it into Lin Qingtan's mouth, and steadies her injury.

Seeing Lin Qingtan's condition improve, Lin Dong's expression finally eases a bit.

Ying Huanhuan never asks further, but silently joins Ice Spirit Ancestor in helping the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's strong ones treat the wounded.

After a long while, a figure steps out of thin air from the direction of the Heavenly Capital.

Seeing the newcomer, Lin Dong's eyes light up, "Brother Xiao, did you succeed?"

Xiao Yan steps forward, nods, scans the surroundings, then frowns and says, "We thought our side's situation was already terrible, but didn't expect yours to be..."

Lin Dong sighed and said, "We were cut down by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but thanks to King Chu's pre‑prepared backup and the full play of Ao Ting's and the Empress's trump cards, we managed to carve out a sliver of hope!"

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he suddenly felt that he was rather lucky.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor, that's a top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperor!

What is a top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperor? In the Great Vast Continent, it means a strongman no weaker than a late‑stage Saint Product. And among the top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperors, the Heavenly Demon Emperor is absolutely one of the few, comparable to a peak‑level Saint Product.

Xiao Yan also briefly described the actions of the Boundless Fire Realm; the reason they could minimize losses and retreat unscathed was largely due to luck.

At least in Xiao Yan's view, that was the case, because the Underworld Demon Emperor and the Thousand‑Weight Demon Emperor suddenly left; otherwise their losses would have been even greater than those in the Martial Realm. It is worth mentioning that at the final moment, Xiao Yan also employed the scroll that Chu Yang had given him.

Chu Yang said the scroll could strike from afar once, but in reality it was not so; instead he inscribed the Mixed‑Heaven Five Absolutes combined with a formation onto the scroll.

With the formation's aid, the power of the Mixed‑Heaven Five Absolutes multiplied, and with Chu Yang's current cultivation as support, it could match a full‑force strike of a mid‑stage Saint Product.

Even if Chu Yang himself unleashed the Mixed‑Heaven Five Absolutes, he could scarcely reach that level of power.

He can form a formation instantly, but combining it with the Mixed‑Heaven Five Absolutes requires certain means and consumes a hefty amount of Primordial Qi.

For Chu Yang, using this move in battle is more loss than gain; it would be better to wield the World Sword and practice Supreme Sword Technique.

Its greatest advantage is that, via the formation, it can be inscribed onto a carrier, making it the unequivocal choice as a life‑saving trump card for allies.

"Brother Xiao, do you know where King Chu is now?" Lin Dong had many matters to explain to Chu Yang in detail, so he asked.

Xiao Yan's expression was odd; he shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet. I only know King Chu said he wanted to go out for a stroll with some old acquaintances…"

"The last time he appeared seemed to be at the Sea God Temple."

"I've already been to the Sea God Temple, but it was empty, and even the upper levels of the temple are nowhere to be found."

Lin Dong was stunned; like Xiao Yan, he didn't think Chu Yang would be out sightseeing at such a critical moment.

"The Demon‑Slaying Plan will inevitably have huge repercussions; Qin Tian invited us to the Great Vast Palace branch on Shengyuan Continent to discuss it."

"The two sect masters of Yunlan Sect and the Fire Spirit Girl have already gone ahead, we…"

Xiao Yan spoke while glancing at the clearly unwell Ao Ting and Tang Huoer.

Tang Huoer said softly, "No problem, let's set off right now!"

Ao Ting also nodded; with Chu Yang present, as long as his source remains intact, his injuries will heal quickly.

After Lin Dong briefly briefed Huan Huan on a few matters, he and the two followed Xiao Yan, stepping into the void.

Meanwhile…

Shengyuan Continent, Shengyuan City.

At this moment the whole of Shengyuan City was silent; ever since Shengyuan was shut down again not long ago, far fewer people travel to and from Shengyuan Continent.

But this is still the gateway to Shengyuan, and normally many Extermination Demon Masters and Great Vast Palace elites would be stationed here.

However, since half a day ago, all of them have holed up in their residences, daring not to go out.

The oppressive pressure hanging over Shengyuan City is simply too terrifying!

Three Saint Product Heavenly Supremes! Especially an hour ago, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who seemed to have become a world‑creating giant.

A dream‑like beauty, the Luo Goddess stepping on the ancient Luo River.

And the black‑haired youth whose aura was ancient and mighty, like an immortal emperor reborn.

The three struck together, seemingly dueling a powerful entity from afar.

In the end, the Luo Goddess even drew a white longsword, its aura as if it could erase heaven and earth, making everyone's hearts race.

They didn't know what had happened, nor who the three strong ones' opponent was, only that the trio seemed to split heaven and earth apart.

A massive spatial fissure stretching thousands of zhang suddenly appeared above Shengyuan Continent, and then a radiant golden orb, surrounded by countless demonic shadows, shot out from the crack.

As the Great Sage Equal to Heaven caught the orb, waves of terrifying pressure and an angry voice echoed through the fissure.

Even though the spatial fissure had already sealed, the voice still reverberated in people's minds.

"Chu Yang! It's Chu Yang again! Damn it!"

"You eradicated my three outer tribes; I, the Emperor, will surely sink three super continents of your Great Vast Continent!"

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

Everyone felt bewildered, because they knew nothing of the Demon‑Slaying Plan.

Or more precisely, throughout the Great Vast Continent, only a handful of people know of this plan.

So after a brief moment of confusion, the people of Shengyuan Continent fell into shock.

Chu Yang?

They couldn't help but stare at the Extermination Demon List, looking at the name that topped it.

King Chu's swift suppression of the Five Ancient Tribes, once again making his name known throughout the Great Vast Continent, is still…

How long has it been since then?

This King Chu has once again, silently, caused such a huge stir?

Eradicated the three outer tribes?

Obediently…

This is like piercing the heavens! For those who are only at the Earth‑Supreme realm, even wiping out a small outer tribe is already a feat.

After all, these evil tribes' roots lie outside the realm; to exterminate them means to go beyond the borders.

As for the Thirty‑two Great Tribes?

They wouldn't even dare to think about it!

After all, even the three great powers have never achieved such a feat!

That's not to say the three great powers lack the strength, but they are pitted against those top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperors, where a single hair's movement endangers the whole.

Take the Great Vast Demon Buddha, for example; as soon as he entered the outer realm, a host of top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperors targeted him, and any move would invite a coordinated attack.

Heavenly Demon Emperors are the same; although they can cross borders and enter the interior of the Great Vast Continent, they are immediately singled out by its strongmen.

Plainly put, at this level the target is too obvious; once you penetrate deep behind enemy lines, it's tantamount to suicide.

On the top floor of the Myriad Worlds Tower, several figures were seated.

Seated in the chief position was none other than Sun Wukong; now he is the top expert holding down Saint Abyss City, so he also counts as the host.

Next were Luo Shen and Bu Mie, then Qin Tian, and then the three Saint Product core elders of the Myriad Worlds Palace.

After hearing about the situation in the Boundless Fire Realm from Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong, the three core elders' expressions were extraordinarily vivid.

Qin Tian glanced at the sword held in Luo Shen's embrace, shook his head and said:

"King Chu's plans are flawless; it seems we were worrying unnecessarily."

Regarding the demon-slaying plan and the matter of retrieving the demon Buddha's relic, the Myriad Worlds Palace has always been on edge.

Luo Shen also glanced at the 【Heavenly Gate】 in his embrace, lightly smiled and said: "If it weren't for the master having slain two Heavenly Demon Emperors in the Canglan Realm, exhausting himself greatly, this time borrowing the sword across space would surely allow him to slay another Heavenly Demon Emperor before the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's eyes!"
