Chapter 443: Seven Heavenly Demon Emperors Slain in Succession! Qin Tian

After hearing Luo Shen's words, several members of the Great Thousand Palace inhaled a gasp of cold air.

In front of the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor, slaying a Heavenly Demon Emperor?

If that's true, the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor would be so angry he'd jump about, right?

Mainly because they recalled the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor's remote roar; it seemed the guy was already jumping with anger.

Luo Shen wasn't deliberately praising Chu Yang; she was being factual.

Chu Yang remotely borrowed the Heavenly Gate, directly employed Return‑to‑Origin, helping Sun Wukong, Luo Shen and the Immortal defuse many attacks, which allowed them to successfully reclaim the Demon Buddha Relic.

If it were a head‑on clash, the current Chu Yang could never match the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor, nor even those top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperors.

But when it comes to support, whether it's Reincarnation or Return‑to‑Origin, both are truly divine techniques!

However, Chu Yang expended too much in slaying the Huangquan Demon Emperor and the Qianjun Demon Emperor; even though he quickly recovered part of it using the planar power of the Holy Yang Realm, it could only sustain him in helping the three fend off a single wave of attack.

If it were his prime, Chu Yang could, by means of Return‑to‑Origin, consecutively block two waves of attacks from numerous top Heavenly Demon Emperors.

Then the three could each play their trump cards and surely cooperate to slay a Heavenly Demon Emperor.

Even if they pick an easy target and only slay an early‑stage Heavenly Demon Emperor, doing so before the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor would greatly boost their morale.

At that moment, Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she whispered, "The Martial Realm has news! They were ambushed by the Slaying Heavenly Demon Emperor, but survived with only a scare; however, the loss was slightly greater than that in the Endless Fire Realm…"

After she briefly outlined the situation, the four members of the Great Thousand Palace again showed shocked expressions.

The Slaying Heavenly Demon Emperor?

He is a top‑tier among the Heavenly Demon Emperors.

The many strong figures from the Martial Realm who joined the action managed to escape death at the hands of the Slaying Heavenly Demon Emperor—how could they not be astonished?

But when they learned that Chu Yang's backup move was responsible, the four were relieved.

Unconsciously, they had already taken Chu Yang as the fourth overlord in their subconscious, or more precisely…

— the third overlord of the Great Thousand Realm succeeding the Great Thousand Demon Buddha! It seemed that any matter involving Chu Yang would have no mishaps.

"Wait!"

At that moment, Qin Tian suddenly recalled something, widened his eyes and asked, "Senior Luo Shen, you just said…"

"Did King Chu go to the Canglan Plane? And even slay two Heavenly Demon Emperors?"

They had only been stunned and hadn't thought further about Luo Shen's words; only now did Qin Tian snap back to reality.

Obediently…

The layout of the Slaying Demon Plan and the reclamation of the Demon Buddha Relic were already a monumental feat, yet Chu Yang also, at the same time, visited a higher sub‑plane that had fallen tens of thousands of years ago? Most importantly…

That place was the Huangquan Evil Tribe's home ground!

The Huangquan Evil Tribe is one of the thirty‑two great clans, and unlike the two targets in the Slaying Demon Plan, its strength among the Outer Evil Tribe's thirty‑two great clans is far from bottom‑ranked.

On the contrary, the Huangquan Evil Tribe that hosts those two Heavenly Demon Emperors has overall strength that ranks in the upper‑middle.

At the same time they recalled that the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor's remote roar seemed to mention Chu Yang exterminating three Outer tribes.

At first they paid it no mind, assuming that during the Slaying Demon Plan's clash, the two sides casually eliminated a minor clan.

But now it seems…

It doesn't look that simple!

Luo Shen nodded, "I only learned it when I was borrowing a sword from my master; he went to the Sea God Temple at the very start of the Slaying Demon Plan."

"Through the Sea God Temple, my master discovered the Canglan Plane's spatial node that had been sealed since antiquity."

"Now the Canglan Plane no longer has any Evil Tribe; the Huangquan Demon Emperor, to confront my master, summoned the Qianjun Demon Emperor, but both were slain by my master."

"In the end only the Yaoyuan Demon Emperor and less than half of the Huangquan Evil Tribe escaped."

"Even so, it seems the Huangquan Evil Tribe will later be expelled from the thirty‑two Outer clans, which is no different from annihilation!"

The Outer realms differ from the Great Thousand Realm; none of those Evil Tribes are anything but cannibals that swallow people whole. The once‑lofty Huangquan Evil Tribe suddenly fell from the divine altar, and what awaits them is only a fate of being torn apart and devoured.

The Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor, knowing this, therefore claimed that Chu Yang exterminated three Outer tribes.

Clearly, in his eyes the Huangquan Evil Tribe already existed only in name.

Qin Tian couldn't help but gasp; the Slaying Demon Plan's process was far more arduous than they had imagined.

If it weren't for Chu Yang's backup move, the final outcome would likely have been killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of one's own.

Reclaiming the Demon Buddha Relic was likewise possible because Chu Yang borrowed a sword remotely, achieving success in one stroke.

Pulling off this whole series of deeds is enough to astonish anyone, yet Chu Yang, in the midst of it, silently ventured to the Canglan Plane and clashed head‑on with the entire Huangquan Evil Tribe! Most notably, he single‑handedly occupied three Heavenly Demon Emperors, resulting in two deaths and one retreat on the enemy side—a record that truly shines! Even the Great Thousand Demon Buddha, before dying, only managed a counter‑kill of three Heavenly Demon Emperors. Of course, the two faced different foes, so the comparison isn't entirely fair.

The siege on the Great Thousand Demon Buddha was led by the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor together with numerous top Heavenly Demon Emperors.

Among the three Heavenly Demon Emperors slain by the Great Thousand Demon Buddha, one was a top‑tier Heavenly Demon Emperor!

Furthermore, in the Slaying Demon Plan, each of the two squads eradicated an Evil Tribe that was each overseen by a Heavenly Demon Emperor, meaning that…

In this chain of events, the Great Thousand Realm, despite the fall of the Great Thousand Demon Buddha and Chu Yang's forces suffering only minimal cost, consecutively slayed seven Heavenly Demon Emperors!

These were only the Heavenly Demon Emperors; in the same series, the fallen Demon Emperors reached double‑digit numbers, and the Demon Kings and Generals were countless! Moreover, thinking further…

Since Chu Yang's famed battle that sealed the Demon Continent, how much time has actually passed? At this killing rate, he'll probably crush the Outer Evil Tribes before the final Great Thousand Covenant even occurs! With that thought, Qin Tian shook his head and laughed, feeling a twinge of embarrassment.

It seems my confidence has become overly inflated due to the successive victories Chu Yang brings.

Because all of this is an unrepeatable triumph; trying to reuse the same tactics is virtually impossible.

As the decision‑maker of the Great Thousand Palace, Qin Tian knows the Slaying Demon Plan inside out, and he is well aware that these three seemingly unrelated events occurring simultaneously are in fact tightly linked.

In a sense, whether it's the Great Thousand Demon Buddha, the seizure of the Demon Buddha Relic, the back‑line Slaying Demon operations of both sides, or Chu Yang's surprise raid on the Huangquan Evil Tribe, all can be said to fall within the Slaying Demon Plan.

It is precisely because the Great Thousand Demon Buddha restrained numerous top Heavenly Demon Emperors that the strongmen of the Endless Fire Realm and the Martial Realm could successfully withdraw after completing their actions.

Moreover, from the Endless Fire Realm's side, Chu Yang's raid on the Huangquan Evil Tribe drew away the Huangquan Demon Emperor and the Qianjun Demon Emperor, sharply reducing their pressure.

The reason Chu Yang dared to boldly confront the Huangquan Evil Tribe head‑on is likewise that the Great Thousand Demon Buddha and the Slaying Demon Plan attracted the Outer Evil Tribes' attention.

In such a situation, the Outer Evil Tribes simply cannot spare any extra force to deal with him.

Ordinary Demon Emperors, even early‑stage powerful Heavenly Demon Emperors, would just be sending themselves to a needless death.

The top Heavenly Demon Emperor was distracted and lacked technique, so two mid‑stage Heavenly Demon Emperor strongmen arrived together, but Chu Yang repeatedly counter‑killed them.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian couldn't help but grow more admiring of Chu Yang. His talent was unmatched, his strength almost demonic, his scheming unfathomable, and his sense of the big picture was beyond question…

With someone like that around, how could the Evil Tribe not be destroyed? After pondering for a long while, Qin Tian suddenly said, "Everyone, I have an idea…"

After this incident, even if the Evil Tribe does not completely break relations with the Da Qian Realm, they will still devise every means to take revenge.

And everyone surely knows that King Chu will place enormous pressure on the Evil Tribe.

The Evil Tribe will never allow the Da Qian Realm to produce a second Immortal Emperor, let alone a contender who could surpass the Immortal Emperor!

If King Chu's strength advances further, to the point of threatening or even slaying the top Heavenly Demon Emperor, the Outer Evil Tribe will surely become restless.

When that time comes, they will have only two choices: either break relations with the Da Qian Realm and revive the great ancient decisive battle!

Or, they will devise every scheme to, before King Chu fully matures, help the Heavenly Evil God break its seal!

Upon hearing his words, everyone felt a slight sinking in their hearts.

Break relations? The Heavenly Evil God breaking its seal and emerging?

Either way, it is certainly not what the Da Qian Realm wishes to see.

If the Heavenly Evil God breaks its seal and emerges, under its lead the Da Qian Realm will find it even harder to resist the Outer Evil Tribe.

Although earlier everyone was confident, believing the Outer Evil Tribe would not dare to break relations, because once relations are broken and both sides engage in a decisive battle, the Outer Evil Tribe could never achieve an overall victory.

Moreover, in such a scenario, the Evil Tribe's losses would be even greater than those of the Da Qian Realm!

But on the other hand, if the Evil Tribe truly resolves to act at any cost, the final outcome would be equally unbearable for the Da Qian Realm.

In the end it would be a mutual loss! Yet the Evil Tribe produces strong ones far faster than the Da Qian Realm, and now Chu Yang and the other Heavenly Proud have not yet fully matured; if they fall in this decisive battle…

Then the Da Qian Realm's intangible losses would far exceed those of the Outer Evil Tribe! Thinking this, an elder of the Da Qian Palace suggested, "How about… we first protect King Chu, letting him cultivate up to the Saint Product realm before he shows his face?"

As soon as his words fell, he noticed that everyone present gave him a somewhat strange look.

Immediately the elder's face flushed red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Bury a genius? What a joke! Only some half‑decrepit old guys with one foot in the furnace would choose to shut themselves away and sit in dead‑hand cultivation.

Because for them, raw strength is no longer that important; breakthroughs in cultivation and realm are what extend lifespan.

But a prodigiously talented genius, if hidden away in seclusion, is essentially eroding his edge.

Moreover, a flower in a greenhouse, even if it grows, cannot withstand wind and rain.

In fact, regarding the Outer Evil Tribe, Qin Tian's assessment coincides with Chu Yang's.

But the difference is that Qin Tian worries about the future, while Chu Yang forces the Evil Tribe to make a choice!

"After things settle, I will go see the Sword Saint senior and the Undying senior…"

Qin Tian finally voiced his thought, "I want to make the Da Qian Realm's situation, and the Outer Evil Tribe's condition, public to the entire Da Qian Realm!"

"At the same time, we must let everyone know the many deeds of King Chu and the Demon‑Slashing Plan!"

"Since the great war is bound to come, why not prepare early, have the whole people ready for battle, and boost morale to the utmost!"

The crowd fell silent; Qin Tian's proposal was undoubtedly a risky move, as it could likely trigger widespread panic.

But as long as the situation can be stabilized, when the Da Qian Realm later engages the Evil Tribe in decisive battle, its overall strength will rise several tiers!

After thinking, Qin Tian looked at Luo Shen, tentatively asking, "Senior Luo Shen, when will King Chu return?"

Luo Shen shook his head and said, "The master says the Da Qian Palace can fully handle the subsequent effects of the Demon‑Slashing Plan."

"After the matters of the Cang Lan Plane are resolved, he will go to the Tianluo Continent."

"Tianluo Continent?" Qin Tian was slightly startled, and couldn't help looking at Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong.

Now Yunlan Sect dominates the Tianluo Continent, so he subconsciously thought Chu Yang's trip there must be linked to Yunlan Sect.

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, then said, "The master probably intends to enter the Ancient Heavenly Palace to revive the Heavenly Emperor senior!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian and the three elders' eyes suddenly brightened.

Heavenly Emperor, one of the Ancient Nine Emperors!

Even in the ancient age of heroes, the Heavenly Emperor was undeniably at the pinnacle! Ignoring the Immortal Emperor, in that era the Ancient Nine Emperors were the ceiling among Da Qian Realm's strongmen!

In today's terms, that would be a titan‑level figure!

Chu Yang's revival of the Ancient Four Clans' Ancestors is still vivid, and now those four ancestor‑level figures are in seclusion; it is said that once they emerge, they can at least regain peak strength.

Among them, the Ancestor of the Wasteland Ancient Clan could even go further! If the Heavenly Emperor can be revived and its strength restored to its peak, it would be a tremendous boon for the Da Qian Realm!

Xiao Xiao hesitated briefly, then said, "The master once told me that if he wishes to revive the Heavenly Emperor, he needs the flesh of a Saint Product Heavenly Supreme Strongman, the stronger the better!"

Qin Tian looked at the three core elders and softly asked, "I wish to give the Da Qian Daoist's flesh to King Chu to aid the Heavenly Emperor's revival; what do you three think?"

The three simultaneously frowned; the Da Qian Daoist has been the Da Qian Palace's foremost strongman since the ancient era.

Even the Da Qian Demon Buddha falls a half‑step short in comparison.

There were even many who once believed the Da Qian Daoist could become a second Immortal Emperor, but ultimately he fell half a step short.

After the Da Qian Daoist attained parinirvana, his flesh was kept sealed by the Da Qian Palace; sending it out would inevitably be somewhat disrespectful to his predecessors.

But on second thought, this act could bring back the Heavenly Emperor at peak state and give the Da Qian Realm more confidence for the upcoming decisive battle, so there seems little reason to hesitate.

Considering this, the three made an immediate decision and all nodded.

…………

Cang Lan Plane, Sea Emperor Palace.

It has been half a month since Chu Yang slew two Heavenly Demon Emperors in succession.

He successfully repaired the Azure Sea Azure Pearl and sealed the spatial node leading to the Outer.

Cang Miao also found the spirit of the plane; after Chu Yang mastered it, he re‑established the link between the Da Qian Realm and the Cang Lan Plane.

However, he did not restore the former planar gateway, but opened a brand‑new passage connecting to a plane transit hub.

On the other side of the passage, the Great Summer Imperial Dynasty and the Sea God Temple's strongmen had long been waiting, immediately linking with the Sea Emperor Palace.

At this moment, Chu Yang sat cross‑legged in the Crystal Palace, placing the 【Fengdu】 horizontally on his knees, his consciousness sinking into the Bridge of Nothingness… (End of chapter)
