Chapter 1414: Chapter 288: Powerful Foes Invade

Casually passing on the Godslayer Saber Art to Jiang Zuo, Shen Changqing then proceeded to the Imperial Palace to discuss Mo Zijin’s affairs with Gu Xing.

Upon learning that the disaster could also enter the Heavens, Gu Xing instinctively felt pleased.

Then,

He expressed his concern.

"Is Mo City Lord truly completely reliable?"

"Rest assured, Emperor Xing, Mo Zijin would never betray the Human Clan. Of course, there is always risk in any matter. Even if Mo Zijin had the potential to betray, others have the same potential."

Shen Changqing shook his head and said.

Betrayal!

This is something that always has a possibility.

It’s merely a matter of whether the potential is large or small.

In his view, the likelihood of Mo Zijin’s betrayal is even less than that of other Human Clansmen.

Upon hearing this,

Gu Xing nodded: "Since Defender Shen says so, I reckon there is no problem. Are you preparing to head to the Heavens this time?"

"I’ve been back with the Human Clan for about ten years now. Now, the Imperial Court has developed stably and there’s nothing that requires me. Heading to the Heavens is imperative. Only there can my strength advance further. Staying here longer is just wasting time."

Shen Changqing’s expression was calm.

The reason for his visit this time was not only to talk to Gu Xing about Mo Zijin but also to bid farewell.

"Well then, I wish Defender Shen all the best. If there’s anything unmanageable, feel free to return to the Imperial Court. Although the Human Clan is weak now, I believe it can still make a contribution."

"Thank you for your kind words, Emperor Xing, but I hope that day never comes."

"That would indeed be best."

——

Demon Evil Continent.

Ten years have passed, and the once desolate Demon Evil Continent now shows signs of vitality.

The Death Forbidden Zone periodically gives rise to corresponding demon evils, and these born demon evils are not very powerful. Given the strength of the Heavenly Mechanism Taoist, there’s essentially no difficulty in subduing them.

Up until now.

The demon evils in the Demon Evil Continent now number in the hundreds.

The former collapsed halls have now been rebuilt.

Clad in a black and red Daoist robe, the Heavenly Mechanism Taoist looked at the numerous demon evils below, his voice cold: "Our clan has suffered a great calamity, the loss of life substantial. Your current duty is to roam the Death Forbidden Zone, seeking out the newly born demon evils.

If you find them, bring them all back to strengthen our clan."

"We understand!"

The numerous demon evils below revealed expressions of reverence on their ferocious faces.

For these newly born demon evils, the figure on the throne before them is the emperor of the Demon Evil Clan, wielding terrifying power.

There once was a newly born demon evil who was disobedient, only to be crushed by the other’s single hand.

That scene,

remains etched in the minds of the other demon evils to this day.

Even demon evils feel fear, and the power this figure wields is the source of their dread.

"One more thing, given the current chaotic situation in the Death Forbidden Zone, do not provoke any forces for now. Focus entirely on searching for other clan members to avoid drawing unnecessary targets."

The Heavenly Mechanism Taoist added another sentence.

Other forces!

Upon hearing this, many of the demon evils trembled slightly.

Obviously,

they had witnessed the formidable nature of other forces.

The original Demon Evil Continent encompassed far more than hundreds of demon evils. Over ten years, the Death Forbidden Zone birthed demon evils that were less than a four-digit number returned to the Demon Evil Continent alone.

Only so few remain because many demon evils have perished at the hands of powerhouses from various clans.

Watching the other demon evils depart, in a flash, the grand hall became empty once more.

"Alas, the road is long and arduous!"

The Heavenly Mechanism Taoist’s cold face revealed a trace of melancholy as he sighed deeply.

Since receiving Shen Changqing’s teachings of the Path of Longevity, he utilized the remaining resources of the Demon Evil Clan to successfully step into the Divine Realm Level.

Thereafter,

he gathered the demon evils in the Death Forbidden Zone, attempting to strengthen the Demon Evil Clan and make it his own strength.

The Heavenly Mechanism Taoist, however, is well aware that the status of being in the Divine Realm is considered top-tier among the Human Clan, yet inside the Death Forbidden Zone, it is quite ordinary.

Moreover,

the gap between Divine Realm practitioners is enormous.

Though the Demon Evil Clan was weak in the past, it had top-tier Divine Realm powerhouses guarding it, unlike now, where only he is an initial Divine Realm practitioner.

Even though Taishan represented the Black Demon Divine Clan, deterring a group of Myriad Clans Cultivators, some fearless ones still coveted the Demon Evil Continent.

Moreover,

The demon evils he dispatched to search for other race lifeforms mostly fell into the hands of Myriad Clans Cultivators.

Consequently,

in ten years, the strength of the Demon Evil Clan has seen little advancement.

"Legend has it that the Demon Evil Clan of the past, despite only having a Divine Realm guardian, could still make the Heart Demon Clan wary, owing to some backup measures left by the strong of the former Demon Evil Clan.

When the Demon Evil Clan attacked the Human Clan back then, they sacrificed billions of demon evils to exchange for some mysterious power; I just don’t know where this power originated!"

The Heavenly Mechanism Taoist fell into contemplation.

He was aware of certain things regarding the Demon Evil Clan’s backup measures.

Once, he was considered Wang Mubai’s confidant, and Wang Mubai was regarded as Wu Ming’s confidant, so Wang Mubai was clear on some information, and he himself was also aware.

However, there was one thing the Heavenly Mechanism Taoist couldn’t be certain about.

That was whether the remnants left behind by the fallen powerhouses of the Demon Evil Clan like Wu Ming had completely vanished.

If they still existed, whether he had the chance to use those remnants.

To make the Heart Demon Clan wary, to have the Demon Evil Clan stand in the Death Forbidden Zone solely with Divine Realm power.

Such remnants wouldn’t be simple.

If he could master them, it would be like having a powerful ultimate card.

Unfortunately.

For the past decade, despite nearly turning the entire Demon Evil Continent upside down, the Heavenly Mechanism Taoist had not found a single clue.

Gradually.

He was even considering giving up.

...

In the dead silence of the void, three purple figures were speeding along, led by a handsome youth in a purple long robe, his expression cold, followed by two others in similar attire.

"Saint Heir, according to the information, the Demon Evil Continent is just ahead."

One of the followers said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this.

A faint purple light suffused Purple Cloud Saint’s icy gaze, as if capable of piercing through the endless void to see the ancient continent that had existed for countless years.

"This time, we must fight swiftly and decisively, with no delay, or else if we attract powerhouses from the Heart Demon Clan or other forces, it will be a significant trouble."

"Rest assured, Saint Heir, the Demon Evil Clan was annihilated by a mysterious powerhouse over a decade ago, and now only a Divine Realm practitioner named Dao Tianji claims to be the emperor of the Demon Evil Clan, his strength likely isn’t significant.

With our strength, killing him will be easy."

Another follower smiled.

Before heading to the Demon Evil Continent, they had already gathered all relevant information.

When the Demon Evil Clan was not yet annihilated, it was not much to worry about; now, with only one Divine Realm practitioner left struggling, it was even less significant.

"Good!"

A fierce smile appeared on Purple Cloud Saint’s face.

"The Demon Evil Clan, standing in the Death Forbidden Zone with Divine Realm power, according to the records of our Ziyun Clan, holds a certain mysterious supreme treasure, its power extraordinary. If we can obtain it, the Ziyun Clan will surely rank at the top of all clans."

Thinking of rumors about the Demon Evil Clan, a brilliant light shone in his eyes.

If it weren’t for the Demon Evil Clan’s supreme treasure, he would never risk coming here.

Upon hearing this.

A follower behind him expressed puzzlement: "Saint Heir, does the Demon Evil Clan truly have a supreme treasure? Why have we never heard of this?"

"Hmph, this matter is top secret. Years ago, a predecessor of our Ziyun Clan entered the Death Forbidden Zone and captured a demon evil, learning this information by accident.

This supreme treasure is the true ultimate card of the Demon Evil Clan, their reliance in standing in the Death Forbidden Zone.

Other forces only think that the remnants were the power of a former powerhouse of the Demon Evil Clan, depleted after the recent calamity.

But only our Ziyun Clan knows that the supreme treasure is definitely not something depleted in a single use."

Purple Cloud Saint sneered.

If the information weren’t top secret, how could his Ziyun Clan have a share?

Currently, the heavens powers believe the Demon Evil Clan is totally annihilated, with no foundation left, and when they strike at the Demon Evil Clan, they are merely coveting those few resources.

But the Ziyun Clan understands that what truly holds value of the Demon Evil Clan is not the so-called resources, but that extremely mysterious supreme treasure.

Half a day later.

The speed of the three speeding through Yukong stopped.

In their sight, ahead floated a gray continent in the void, filled with a deathly silent power.

"Demon Evil Continent!"

A fervent expression appeared in Purple Cloud Saint’s eyes.

It’s here.

As long as he finds the supreme treasure of the Demon Evil Clan here, his status in the Ziyun Clan will rise sharply, achieving Divine King would be within reach.

Don’t be fooled by him being the Saint Heir of the Ziyun Clan, actually, he isn’t the only one able to hold the title of Saint Heir.

Among many Saint Heirs, emerging as the best is not easy.

Strictly speaking.

The Saint Heirs of the Ziyun Clan are essentially raised like Gu, with one careless mistake could lead to eventual disappearance.

Therefore.

In Purple Cloud Saint’s view, obtaining the supreme treasure of the Demon Evil Clan will be his stepping stone to stand out among many Saint Heirs.

Meanwhile.

As the powerhouses from the Ziyun Clan arrive, the Heavenly Mechanism Taoist, cultivating in the grand hall, suddenly opened his eyes, feeling an intense premonition from the ether.

"A strong foe is coming!"

He reacted immediately.

Next.

He took out the Messaging Jade Token and sent a distress signal to Taishan.

No choice.

From the premonition given by the demon evil’s fortune, the strength of the incoming power is likely beyond what he can handle, and he can only seek help from others.

His task is to delay.

In this regard.

The Heavenly Mechanism Taoist is quite experienced.
