Chapter 455: Power

"We didn’t make a mistake. The jade slip map does indeed indicate this location."

As Gou Guangyan spoke, he turned toward the Water Qilin.

The Water Qilin’s little face was solemn. He nodded seriously before trembling slightly.

"There really is the aura of... Senior Brother here. I suppose Sky City was turned into a plain because of... Senior Brother’s... efforts..."

Waaah! In less than a day, Fu Young’s aura has become even more terrifying.

Mom! What should I do? If this continues, the Supreme Star Lord will probably fully revive! That would be terrible. He will definitely destroy the world. I don’t want to die!

"There’s no way! He actually leveled such a huge city?"

An You swallowed dryly. She even felt somewhat sympathetic toward those members of the Demon Abyss Clan.

Of all the people they could have provoked, they had chosen the one person they absolutely should not have provoked.

She was beginning to think that the incident involving Senior Brother charging alone into the Heavenly Void Sect, which she had heard about in the prophetic dream, might truly have been an insignificant matter to both the Sect Master and Senior Brother.

Gou Guangming was also extremely shocked.

However, after thinking about all the incredible achievements of the male protagonist in the original story, he was no longer particularly surprised.

In fact, he even felt that destroying a single city occupied by the Demon Abyss Clan was an insignificant feat compared with destroying an entire world.

He immediately said, "It’s only a city. To Senior Brother, it’s nothing impressive."

"You certainly have a lot of confidence in Senior Brother. So what should we do next?"

Mo Yichen scratched his head in his usual honest and clumsy manner and looked at Gou Guangming.

Gou Guangming thought for a moment before replying, "Of course we continue following him. Or perhaps you two have a way to find the Sect Master. In any case, we absolutely cannot stop until we find the Sect Master. Otherwise, be careful that Senior Brother doesn’t come after us."

"Sigh! I think a teleportation formation of that scale most likely leads to the Demon Abyss Realm. A same-realm teleportation formation wouldn’t need to be that large."

Nangong Si, who understood formations best among them, continued, "At first, Senior Brother was probably furious and came here to cause trouble for the surrounding Demon Abyss Clan, hoping to obtain information about the destination of that teleportation formation."

"But judging from how this place has been completely leveled, Senior Brother Fu clearly failed to get what he wanted and caused all this destruction in his anger. Given his intelligence, if he still can’t find the destination of that teleportation formation in the other territories occupied by the demons, he’ll probably soon realize that since this path is blocked, he should take the most direct route instead."

Because of his relationship with his own master, Cao Xue, who had inexplicably become one generation junior to his own master, continued following Nangong Si’s words.

Hearing this, Rong Yitian asked in confusion, "What do you mean by the most direct route?"

"The passage the Demon Abyss Clan originally used to come here. That passage connects the two realms. If that passage hadn’t been opened, these teleportation formations couldn’t have been established either. Since we can’t keep up with Senior Brother’s speed anyway, we might as well wait for him at the place he will definitely go."

After saying this, Gou Guangming looked at the Water Qilin and said, "Junior Brother, we’ll have to trouble you to lead everyone from here."

"Guangming, how can you be certain that Senior Brother won’t find the destination of the teleportation formation elsewhere and will definitely go to that passage?"

Hearing Gou Guangming say this, Gou Guangyan did not wait for the others to voice their doubts and asked the question first.

That is a place the male protagonist is destined to visit. In the original story, he picked up the remnant soul of one of the Heavenly Void Sect’s Peak Masters there. Even if he can’t obtain it now, given the inertia of the plot, the male protagonist is bound to come here.

Thinking this, Gou Guangming smiled mysteriously with complete confidence. He deliberately put on a rather foolishly profound expression and said, "This is simply the arrangement of fate!"

Everyone was speechless when they saw him acting like that.

...

Demon Abyss Realm.

Xiao Shou who is residing within the Star Demon Mother Tree stared in astonishment as the Star Demon Mother Tree finished absorbing all the demonic aura within a radius of a hundred thousand miles.

Without waiting for the surrounding demonic aura to recover, it suddenly unleashed a heaven-shaking disturbance.

Its enormous roots violently pulled themselves out of the ground, and somehow controlling its own weight, the gigantic tree actually rose into the air and rapidly flew toward an unknown destination.

Along the way, the demonic aura and members of the Demon Abyss Clan gave Xiao Shou no opportunity to observe the conditions of the Demon Abyss Realm.

They were all devoured by the Star Demon Mother Tree.

"Looking at it this way, it almost seems as though I’m the villain who barged into their peaceful world and started treating them as food. If... I hadn’t seen their true nature..."

Xiao Shou watched as the Star Demon Mother Tree once again charged into an enormous pitch-black city and could not help muttering to himself.

However, things developed somewhat differently from what Xiao Shou had imagined this time.

The Star Demon Mother Tree did not descend after flying into the air. Instead, countless thin and elongated roots grew from its enormous root system.

Under the terrified gazes of the demons, who were completely powerless to resist, these fine roots pierced into their bodies.

In an instant, the Demon Abyss Clan members were transformed into nutrients and absorbed into the tree.

This was not much different from what had happened countless times along the way. The only difference was that instead of using its enormous roots to indiscriminately absorb everything, the Star Demon Mother Tree was now using its fine roots to absorb the Demon Abyss Clan members one by one.

Yet Xiao Shou was extremely curious about this action.
