Chapter 238: Heavenly Demon! Chen Gu!

However, faced with Hun Ao's threatening rebuke.

The figure shrouded in murky black light merely let out a lightly nonchalant chuckle.

The laugh carried a laziness and disdain that seemed to come from its very bones, echoing clearly throughout the Dead Silence Star Domain:

"Oh?"

"Could it be that I, Chen Gu... am unworthy?"

"Or that my Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon clan... is unworthy?"

He lifted his head slightly, his eyes—so monstrously altered they formed dark‑golden cruciform pupils.

They resembled two tiny black holes devouring light, indifferently sweeping across Hun Ao's anger‑twisted visage.

"Today, Ye Xiaoyou... I have secured him."

"You all... where you came from, return to where you came from."

His voice remained flat, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness.

"Chen Gu?! Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon!!"

Those airy words fell like a massive bomb onto a calm lake.

In an instant, across the entire circular star vortex and the distant powers watching this place by various means, a landslide‑like, tsunami‑like shock and outcry erupted!

"My god! It's the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon, one of the Ten Great Emperor Fiends!"

"And moreover... it's the legendary Chen Gu! One of the most notorious ferocious ones among the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon clan!"

"How... how could he be here? And still fiercely protect Ye Wuque?!"

"What kind of deity is this Ye Wuque? The Battle Saint Emperor calls him Young Master, and now even Chen Gu of the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon steps forward to champion him?!"

"He's merely a Human! Even if his father is Ye Zhengrong, it shouldn't be able to sway a clan of Empire Beast Clan like the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon, right?!"

Countless beings felt their scalp tingle, their thoughts on the brink of chaos.

The successive reversals and shocks before them had utterly exceeded their realm of comprehension.

A young Heavenly Pride could sway two top‑tier powers, including a peerless ferocious figure from the Empire Beast Clan—truly an unprecedented marvel!

The situation, due to Chen Gu of the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon brazenly intervening, underwent another revolutionary shift!

The ancient ancestor of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan, Hun Ao, turned an extremely hideous shade in that instant, even faintly showing a tinge of iron‑blue!

He clenched his fists tightly, his sharp nails nearly piercing his own palms.

The terrifying aura surrounding him surged violently from extreme anger and frustration, churning the surrounding space into continual rupture and reformation.

He didn't understand!

No matter what, he couldn't fathom it!

Why?!

Why would a clan like the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon, standing atop Zhutian Wanjie, aloof from all, risk a direct clash with the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan over a mere Human, Ye Wuque?!

And even send a notorious figure like Chen Gu himself to appear personally?

What further left Hun Ao feeling powerless and wary was.

The seemingly lazy Chen Gu before him exuded an aura like a bottomless abyss, making even this Dark Being, who had survived endless ages, feel repeated heart palpitations!

He had a clear premonition—that he was certainly not a match for the heavenly demon before him!

Even... if the opponent wished to kill him, it probably wouldn't be much harder than the Battle Saint Emperor flinging them away!

This wasn't self‑deprecation, but an absolute perception born of the disparity in life level and strength!

Moreover... any being who has lived long enough and seen enough knows that Chen Gu's father is a terrifying, overprotective, law‑defying figure within the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon clan.

He is a truly emerged peerless ferocious lord, whose notorious name can turn many ancient monsters pale!

Provoking Chen Gu is tantamount to provoking the even more terrifying ferocious god behind him!

The consequences...

Just thinking about it made Hun Ao feel bone‑deep cold.

That would be an annihilating disaster no Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan could endure!

Thus, despite endless murderous intent, towering resentment, and the bone‑deep pain from Huntian's fall, Hun Ao forced all of it down with sheer will!

His old face, covered in golden wrinkles, twitched uncontrollably, eventually turning into a dead‑water‑like gloom and ugliness.

He dared not strike!

He didn't even dare utter another harsh word!

For a moment, the atmosphere of this Star Domain grew exceedingly eerie.

On one side, the Battle Saint Emperor and Evil Demon Emperor fought, tearing heaven and earth as laws vanished.

On the other, Hun Ao and Chen Gu faced off, their momentum gone, leaving only a suppressed, utmost silence.
