Chapter 420: Chen Jingchou's Hatred

Duan Fengyun did not refuse when Yuwen Tuo handed the Kunlun Mirror, the Shennong Cauldron, and the Kongtong Seal over to him.

Originally, the reason he had given these three divine artifacts to Yuwen Tuo was to prevent them from falling into the hands of Chen Jingchou, only to be seized by the Demon Realm later.

If that were to happen, Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo would inevitably be forced onto the path of refining the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pearl, and all of Duan Fengyun's painstaking efforts would have been wasted.

If he himself became the new Earth Emperor, these three divine artifacts should rightfully belong to him.

Duan Fengyun did not decline; he directly took the Kunlun Mirror, the Shennong Cauldron, and the Kongtong Seal, along with the Fuxi Zither that Guyue Xianren had just given him, and placed them all into the Void.

With Duan Fengyun's current strength, trying to take these four divine artifacts from his hands could be described as harder than ascending to heaven.

Therefore, Yu Xiaoxue's Nuwa Stone is very important now; they must reach Yuehe City as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen events.

Duan Fengyun spoke up: "Two Immortals, Queen, Brother Yuwen and I must set off for Yuehe City immediately.

Once we have obtained the Nuwa Stone, we will rendezvous at the Xitian Juefeng Tongtian Tower!"

Guyue nodded and said:

"Very well, Duan Fengyun, you and Yuwen Tuo must be extra careful.

The Demon Realm will surely make a desperate final struggle now, so you must be cautious and vigilant!"

Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo nodded, but just as they turned to leave, they were stopped by Juhai.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, aren't we good brothers?

I want to go with you too!"

Duan Fengyun patted Juhai on the head and said:

"Third Brother, Second Brother and I are not going on this trip for fun.

Your strength can only be utilized to its maximum in the North Sea; if you follow us, you will only become a burden to us.

Once your Second Brother and I have obtained the Nuwa Stone and notified Guyue Xianren, you can join them and come to the Xitian Juefeng Tongtian Tower to lend us a hand."

Upon hearing this, Juhai nodded and said:

"Alright, then I will follow Big Brother's instructions.

You and Second Brother must also be extra careful."

Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo nodded, turned around, and left the Diren Tribe.

The two of them now had only one goal: Yuehe City!

At this moment, inside the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord, who had been in Seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted toward the door:

"Go and summon the Young Lady, the Gold Protector, the Wood Protector, and the Water Protector to the Demon Palace for me.

This Lord has a matter of great importance to discuss with them!"

The Demon Guards outside the door heard this and immediately rushed to the location where Ning Ke and the others were.

Because her identity had been exposed, and due to Duan Fengyun's murderous intent toward her, Ning Ke had already returned to live in the Demon Realm.

Upon learning that the Demon Lord had a major matter to announce, Ning Ke and the others, regardless of what they were busy with, immediately rushed to the Demon Palace to await the Demon Lord's arrival.

Once the Water Protector arrived and everyone was present, the Demon Lord appeared out of thin air upon his throne.

Ning Ke spoke up:

"Demon Father, is there some urgent matter that you have suddenly called everyone here?"

The Gold Protector also asked:

"Demon Lord, may I ask what instructions you have!"

The Demon Lord looked down at the hall and said with a face full of rage:

"Just a moment ago, Chen Jingchou's Earth Emperor Destiny was broken; our layout of eighteen years has been ruined by someone!"

Ning Ke said in shock:

"What, Chen Jingchou's Earth Emperor Destiny has been broken!

How is this possible? Back then, in order to change the Earth Emperor, Demon Father, you made Yuwen Tuo, who should have been the Earth Emperor, stain his hands with blood and lose his qualification, and then you deceived the heavens to make Chen Jingchou the Earth Emperor.

Now, even if Chen Jingchou kills, he will not lose his qualification, so how could it have been broken by someone?

If Chen Jingchou's Earth Emperor Destiny has been broken by someone, then who is the current Earth Emperor?"

The Demon Lord looked up at the sky; his old rival, Xuanyuan Huangdi, was undoubtedly also making his own moves in the heavens above his head at this moment.

The Demon Lord looked at Ning Ke and the others and said:

"After Chen Jingchou's Earth Emperor Destiny was broken by someone, the current Earth Emperor is your old acquaintance, Duan Fengyun!

If it were anyone else's Earth Emperor Destiny, perhaps I would not know what the first question you just asked, Ning Ke, would be!

Because in my view, the current Chen Jingchou's Earth Emperor Destiny was already set, and no one else could have broken it.

But if it is Duan Fengyun who has become the new Earth Emperor, then everything makes sense.

Duan Fengyun is the direct disciple of Xuanyuan Huangdi, and Xuanyuan Huangdi himself was the first Earth Emperor.

I believe Xuanyuan Huangdi certainly has a way to break the Earth Emperor Destiny.

Duan Fengyun and the others must have already known that Chen Jingchou's Earth Emperor Destiny was a scheme I set up by deceiving the heavens, which is why they broke Chen Jingchou's Earth Emperor Destiny; this Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo are truly ruthless.

Now that Chen Jingchou is no longer the Earth Emperor, Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo no longer need his power.

Based on my understanding of these two, they will certainly gather the Five Divine Artifacts as quickly as possible, then open the Lost Array to fight a decisive battle with my Demon Realm.

Facing this situation, we must prepare early.

Also, all previous plans are now void; we must draft new plans immediately!"

After hearing the Demon Lord's words, Ning Ke and the others were filled with rage toward Duan Fengyun; this Duan Fengyun was just as hateful as his master, Xuanyuan Huangdi!

Thousands of years ago, his master, Xuanyuan Huangdi, destroyed their Demon Realm's grand plan and sealed them within the Scar of the Sky.

【To be honest, I have been using Wild Fruit Reading to keep up with books recently; it has many source-switching options and many reading voices, available on both Android and Apple.】

Now, this disciple of his is going to destroy their grand plan again and wants to seal them in the Scar of the Sky forever.

This pair of master and disciple is truly one more ruthless than the other.

Ning Ke spoke up:

"Demon Father, since things have reached this point, there is no need for us to continue hiding.

If we do not take measures now, we will soon fall into a disadvantageous position, and at that time we will only be able to watch helplessly as Duan Fengyun seals us back into the Scar of the Sky."

The Demon Lord nodded and said:

"What you say, Demon Father knows, which is why Demon Father just said that all previous plans are void, including the bitter-meat scheme I told you about.

There are now three things that need to be resolved as soon as possible.

First is the Nuwa Stone among the Five Divine Artifacts, which is still in the hands of the Nuwa Descendant; you must find the Nuwa Descendant as soon as possible and obtain the Nuwa Stone.

The Nuwa Stone must absolutely not fall into the hands of Duan Fengyun and the others again.

Second is that you must immediately find Chen Jingchou and bring him to the Demon Realm; he is currently filled with hatred for Duan Fengyun and the others, which is the perfect opportunity for us to exploit.

Third is that it is now time to harvest the Demon Seeds we previously planted in the Human Realm; go and drive them, I want to turn the Human Realm into a purgatory.

If we cannot obtain this Human Realm, then I shall destroy it."

Regarding the three things the Demon Lord mentioned, Ning Ke understood the first and third, but she was a bit unclear about the second.

Ning Ke asked:

"Demon Father, this Chen Jingchou is incompetent and has no utility value to us.

Moreover, Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo have no good feelings toward Chen Jingchou; he is of no use to us at all, so what is the point of bringing him to the Demon Realm?"

The Demon Lord looked at Ning Ke and laughed loudly:

"Good daughter, have you not discovered one thing?

You all now have physical bodies to act in the Human Realm, but your father does not yet have a physical body to act in the Human Realm!" Upon hearing the Demon Lord's words, Ning Ke suddenly realized:

"So, Demon Father, you want to use Chen Jingchou as your physical body in the Human Realm, I see."

The Demon Lord smiled:

"Correct, Chen Jingchou was once the Earth Emperor and has the Earth Emperor Destiny remaining in his body; if I were to possess Chen Jingchou, my power would also be maximized in the Human Realm.

At that time, no matter what Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo do, I will break them one by one with force and let them know the power of the Eternal Demon Lord.

Alright, go quickly and complete the tasks I have arranged for you.

None of the tasks can afford any mistakes!

Ning Ke, you and Shuxiang go and capture Chen Jingchou for your father.

Water Protector, you go and awaken our Demon Seeds in the Human Realm.

And Gold Protector, you and Wood Protector go and bring back Nuwa's Daughter.

As for the location of Nuwa's Daughter, if I am not mistaken, she should be in Yuehe City right now."

The Demon Lord directly specified the division of labor for the five people to avoid wasting time after they went down.

Since the Demon Lord had already given the order, Ning Ke and the other four naturally did not dare to shirk and agreed immediately.

After Ning Ke left, the Demon Lord stared at the sky above and sneered:

"Xuanyuan Huangdi, the contest between the two of us is not over yet; just you wait, one day I will stand before you and let you experience the pain I have endured for these thousands of years!"

At this time, Taba Yu'er was still standing at the entrance of a fishing village, and in front of her was Chen Jingchou, who was pounding on a stone with a face full of anger.

"Why, why!

Why do you all want to help Yuwen Tuo and Duan Fengyun? Is it possible that I, Chen Jingchou, am truly useless?

And you keep calling yourselves Immortals; in my eyes, you are nothing more than that."

Chen Jingchou's hatred was no longer just directed at Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo; it now included Guyue Xianren and the others.

In Chen Jingchou's view, Guyue Xianren and the others looked down on him, which is why they allowed Duan Fengyun to bully him.

Thinking of Duan Fengyun, the hatred in Chen Jingchou's heart grew even more intense.

Originally, in Chen Jingchou's heart, Yuwen Tuo was the person he hated most, but Duan Fengyun had now far surpassed Yuwen Tuo, becoming the person Chen Jingchou thought about day and night wanting to take revenge on.

Chen Jingchou thought about the various humiliations Duan Fengyun had inflicted upon him, and even his 'Fifteen' had been snatched away by Duan Fengyun.

In Chen Jingchou's view, snatching his 'Fifteen' was like snatching his lover; Chen Jingchou could not suppress the hatred in his heart and roared at the sky:

"Duan Fengyun, I, Chen Jingchou, swear here that I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces.

All the humiliations you have inflicted upon me, one day I will pay them all back."

After shouting these words, Chen Jingchou felt much better.

Seeing that Chen Jingchou felt a bit better, Taba Yu'er walked over to comfort him:

"Jing Chou, I believe in you.

I believe that you will definitely be able to defeat Duan Fengyun and the others, and you will definitely return today's humiliation to them.

I believe in you, Jing Chou.

You are the current Earth Emperor, and I believe that the heavens will definitely stand on your side."

Chen Jingchou did not know that he had already lost the Earth Emperor Destiny; he nodded and said confidently:

"Yes, Yu'er, don't worry.

I will definitely defeat Duan Fengyun and the others; I will not let you down.

It is still the same saying: I, the Earth Emperor Chen Jingchou, shall wield my sword to slay demons and evil, and purge the world!"

The period of Guyue Xianren's trial had cultivated extreme self-confidence in Chen Jingchou, making him full of confidence in himself.

Unfortunately, Chen Jingchou did not yet know that he had lost the Earth Emperor Destiny; if he had known, this confidence would likely have collapsed along with it.
