Chapter 412 - 207: The Battle Record is Out! A Sensation in All Directions

Chapter 412: Chapter 207: The Battle Record is Out! A Sensation in All Directions

Once they confirmed there was nothing else left,

the group reluctantly departed.

A short while later,

they reappeared on the banks of the Black Water River.

"You two, are you still following me?"

Chen Xuan said lightly, looking at the monk and the Daoist.

"Ahem, well, we won’t be following you."

"That’s right, Brother Chen. We’ll look for you again later in the depths of the Dark World."

"Right, right. We’ll head to the depths of the Dark World first. We’ll meet again if fate allows."

The monk and the Daoist smiled, tactfully deciding not to linger.

Even now, they still couldn’t figure out Chen Xuan’s origins.

They only knew he was incredibly strange.

In all these years, Chen Xuan was the only one who could actually strike their true bodies.

They were completely helpless against him.

They might tell embarrassing stories about Chu Shanhe or act boisterously before Master Fa Chan, but when it came to Chen Xuan, they were utterly respectful.

There was no helping it. Chen Xuan could actually beat them up.

And he got away with it, completely unscathed.

How could they not be terrified?

So as soon as Chen Xuan spoke, they knew it was time to leave.

’The Dark World has probably been thrown into chaos by now...’

"Alliance Leader, everyone, let’s head back as well."

Chen Xuan said with a smile, looking at Chu Shanhe and the others.

"Alright!"

They all nodded and quickly departed.

Not long after they were gone, the black tide that had parted for them began to surge once more.

It submerged the channel they had crossed, its waves rolling endlessly. A vast, oppressive blackness, the river stretched out of sight...

On the rooftop.

The Yun family’s ancestor felt his heart pounding. Only when he confirmed that Chen Xuan’s group was truly gone did he let out a long sigh of relief.

He didn’t know about other matters.

But he knew one thing for sure.

The Yun family was about to hit it big...

Of the four great powers at the Dark Crossing, only two remained after Yama Chen’s sweep...

"Quick, go take over the Lan family’s territory!"

The Yun family’s ancestor made a swift decision and issued the order.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

The group of Yun family elders behind him accepted their orders and quickly moved to action.

...

News spread.

Both the Grotto Heaven worlds and the Dark World were in an uproar.

This was especially true for the Dark World.

Its settlements, cities, and islands were all in an uproar.

No one could believe it.

Was this some kind of joke?

The Demon Slaying Order had appeared, and they had sent so many Outer Saints, only for more than a hundred of them to die? (Chen Xuan killed over seventy, another dozen or so were killed by the battle’s aftershocks, and twenty-some were ambushed and killed by others on their way back.)

And they were all top-tier Outer Saints.

They hadn’t even lost that many Outer Saints during the Dark Invasion!

And now they’d lost this many over a single Demon Slaying Order?

"What in the world happened? Did they run into a Dharma Realm master?"

"Which ruthless Dharma Realm master is so merciless? Taking the Demon Slaying Order is one thing, but why go on a killing spree?"

"Were they killed by a master from the Yang Realm, or one from our own Dark World?"

"You’re wrong. All of you are wrong. I know the inside story..."

"What really happened?"

"It was the Yang Realm! They were all killed by a young man from the Yang Realm! That young man is terrifying! He killed seventy or eighty Outer Saints all by himself, and with a single shake, he grew to be hundreds of meters tall and chased three senior Dharma Realm masters until they were spitting blood and fleeing for their lives..."

"What?"

The news was utterly shocking.

Quite a few people even went to the Dark Crossing personally to verify the claims.

And the verified truth was even more shocking.

Some of the Outer Saint masters had even secretly made recordings.

When those recordings got out, they caused an even greater uproar throughout the Dark World...

"Just who is this person?"

"Damn it, a demon! What kind of top-tier greater demon is this? How can his physical body grow so large too?"

"According to news from the Dark Crossing, his name is Chen Xuan, and his moniker is Yama..."

"Yama Chen is the fourth-ranked master on the Yang Realm’s Heavenly Ranking... He’s only twenty years old, his Cultivation Speed is as natural as eating and drinking, and his talent is even more terrifying than Chu Shanhe’s..."

"Big news! Big news! Detailed intel on Yama Chen is here!"

"I want a copy!"

"I want a copy too!"

"Let me see the record on Yama Chen!"

Without a doubt,

Chen Xuan’s name was, for the first time, becoming widely known in the Dark World.

Though, of course, only in the shallower regions of it.

...

Aside from the uproar in the Dark World,

the various Grotto Heaven worlds were in a similar state.

The Mountain Lords and Grotto Lords who had hastily returned to their domains issued all sorts of commands almost immediately upon their arrival. They ordered their subordinates to erase all evidence of any hostility toward the Martial Alliance...

They couldn’t afford to let anyone find any dirt on them.

If Chen Xuan found incriminating evidence against anyone, that person’s Mountain Lord would personally execute them and deliver their head to the Martial Alliance.

For a time, the Grotto Heaven worlds were abuzz, and those at the bottom were left completely bewildered.

At first, they had no idea what was going on.

But as news spread from those returning from their dealings at the Dark Crossing, everyone in the Grotto Heaven worlds soon understood.

"At the Dark Crossing, Chen Xuan single-handedly killed over eighty Outer Saints!"

The horrifying news left all factions aghast.

As for the geniuses Chen Xuan had previously beaten, like Li Heihu and Huyan Yunlong, they were once again left dumbfounded...

They realized that from now on, they had some serious bragging rights.

"Did you know? I’ve fought Yama Chen!"

"That’s right! I used my face to strike his palm! It didn’t even budge, but I’m still proud of it!"

"Indeed. In order to shake Yama Chen, I sacrificed half my teeth. It’s not like I’m proud or anything."

"Heh, half a mouthful of teeth is nothing! To shake Yama Chen, I gave up my ribs! I used my own ribs to ram his palm, and guess what? Heh! All my ribs shattered!"
