Chapter 604: Chapter 205: Flame of the Burning Demon

An Jing rested for a few days in the Tianyuan Realm, recuperating while purchasing supplies.

Purchasing supplies through the Spiritual Network account is convenient and fast. An Jing now understood why Iron Hand frowned upon receiving Good Deeds certificates years ago; he wouldn’t want them either, as the Spiritual Network payment is truly fluid, requiring only a few thoughts to complete the transaction.

However, there were some problems with the channel on Huo Qing Iron Hand’s side. Although Huo Qing was reluctant to mention it, he still revealed the current situation under An Jing’s persistent questioning.

Due to the immense benefits brought by the Ancient Immortal Ruins, the gangs and various small companies and powers of Xuanye City have also become active, and the feedback from the resources within the ruins has also strengthened these small powers, boosting their arrogance.

Because An Jing provided high-quality Spiritual Objects and Spirit Stones, a dangerous gang in the city, the Night Niche Gang, targeted the Iron Hand Rusty Feather’s platform. They have been extorting the offline stores and several armed conflicts have broken out. Rusty Feather is considering hiring mercenaries from the Wilderness to teach them a lesson, but the strength of the Night Niche Gang is not weak; they are rumored to have backing from ’above’. If they do not make a move, it is fine, but if they do, they must inflict heavy damage.

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that there are too many powers in Chonggang Town, and Xuanye City officials have set up a branch of the Sky Surveillance Bureau here, the Night Niche Gang would certainly have targeted Huo Qing and An Jing’s warehouse and shop.

"Do I need to take action?"

An Jing asked, while Huo Qing waved his hand: "There’s no need, if it can be solved with Good Deeds, why put ourselves in danger? After all, the Night Niche Gang is a major gang, with several Foundation Establishment Altar Masters besides their leader; they are not something we can handle."

"Okay."

An Jing understood that Huo Qing did not want him to waste time getting involved in these ’affairs on their side’, and naturally, he wouldn’t disregard Huo Qing’s kindness.

After bidding farewell to Huo Qingnian Spring, An Jing left the Tianyuan Realm with a large batch of supplies and returned to Embracing the Void.

Embracing the Void·Surroundings of Broken Blade Mountain.

After several days of fierce battle, most of the Great Heavenly Demon clones were crushed by Chenyinzi and other powers’ Divine Repository True Persons, and the remaining Great Heavenly Demon clones had to flee back to the Netherworld, unable to return.

But the Divine Repository True Persons also suffered heavy casualties.

Da Chen, who manipulated the Mysterious Thunder, was severely injured; half of his body was blown away, and although he is still alive, the situation is very critical, and he has been sent south for treatment.

Thanks to his strong armor, Da Chen as the Dao Supervisor is currently only excessively tired and has no serious injuries, but the armor has completely shattered, and he is collapsed on the spot, barely alive.

The Taiming Sect’s True Person was the strongest, yet suffered the most; he and the Hong Fu Sect’s True person both endured the most dangerous attacks from the Great Heavenly Demon clones and were torn apart. However, while the latter is simply dead, the companion Black Dragon had to flee, and the Taiming Sect’s True Person, although dead, still has lingering soul and spirit. As long as most of his body can be retrieved and a greater price is paid, resurrection is still possible.

The True Person from Taiyuan is dead, the one from YuanLong Sea escaped after being injured, and as for the True Person of Tianyi Demon Sect, he disappeared in the midst of the battle. It seems that Chenyinzi exerted too much force when he made a move, realizing something was amiss, the Tianyi Demon Sect’s True Person stealthily slipped away.

Now, between the heavens and the earth, only the figure of Chenyinzi remains, along with the endless Demonic Qi spreading across the heavens and the earth.

"Is this a victory?"

Chenyinzi, surveying the completely transformed surroundings of Broken Blade Mountain, couldn’t help but sigh deeply: "The cost was truly great."

Although previously, the Divine Repository’s Manifesting Holy Great Battle transformed the surrounding earth into Flame Summer, causing the ice and snow to melt and the grass and trees to sprout, as the battle ended, the cold wind of the Frost Calamity swept across and the temperature quickly dropped.

The few remaining trees around Broken Blade Mountain, the newly sprouted branches and leaves visibly withered at a visible rate, and the falling dead leaves were covered with spreading thin frost, leaving only the bare trunks in the entire forest.

In this desolate and lone environment, murky black Demonic Qi rolled like waves, like tumbleweed on the prairie or the continuously chopping tide on the mudflats. They are the remnants of the dead Great Heavenly Demon clones, their corpses, and curses. If unopposed, they will continually erode everything in the heaven and earth, even if only soil and stones are left to them, they can still breed countless Monstrous Evil Demons.

But it shouldn’t be so.

At this moment, Chenyinzi is quite perplexed, according to the Heaven and Earth Rules, after the battle with the Heavenly Demon ends, the Path of Devouring Evil and Returning to Truth should manifest, transforming the eliminated Heavenly Demon Qi into Mysterious Primordial Qi—thus compensating for the damaged heavens and earth post the battle with the Heavenly Demon, and also rewarding those Martial Artists who fought to the death.

But now, the Demonic Qi is overwhelming, seemingly intent on taking root right here... What does this imply? Could it be that the Heaven and Earth Rules have failed? Or does it mean...

The battle has not ended?

Chenyinzi lifted his head, gazing toward the starry sky in the north.

The battle between Frost Calamity and forces from various Pure Yang factions was nearing its end. As a Heavenly Demon of the Tribulation Soldiers, the power of Frost Calamity was immense, comparable to the foundation of top factions like Lingxiao. If supported by the original Heavenly Demon’s power, only the Emperor of Lingxiao holding an Extreme Imperial Weapon could contend with it.

However, due to An Jing’s activeness and Chenyinzi’s support, the Heavenly Demon’s schemes around Broken Blade Mountain were thoroughly thwarted. Losing support, Frost Calamity was becoming progressively weaker and was now close to being completely suppressed.

Could it be that we must wait until Frost Calamity is suppressed to consider it over?

Chenyinzi was well aware that the causal relationships of Heaven and Earth do not operate from a human perspective. In unknown places, many karmic debts of evil are flowing. Many Martial Artists who slay Demons in certain places have yet to receive their rewards because the real creators of these demons are Human Demons hidden among the local residents; until they perish, this battle and its karmic consequences are not considered concluded.

Or does it mean... that it’s not over until the ’chief culprits’ are eradicated?

Chenyinzi lowered his head, looking toward the Earth Vein of the Netherworld, the place where An Jing disappeared, deep in thought.

—Is it not over because the true leading Exorcists have not appeared?

It was at this moment.

An Jing returned to the Huai Xu Realm.

His return was exactly at the Earth Vein beneath the Primordial Spirit Cave at the original Broken Blade Peak, which is also the location of the sealed Immortal Palace. However, because the Immortal Palace has returned deep within the Earth Vein for restoration, he appeared in a massive underground cavern.

Moreover, due to the Sword Light previously unleashed by Subdue Evil, Broken Blade Peak had split into two, creating a narrow chasm cleaving through the land, bringing light that connected the outer world with the depths of the Earth Vein.

Coming home, An Jing originally thought of ’hiding first to see the situation,’ but obviously, just like how An Jing was directly rewarded with a Heavenly Tribulation upon arriving in the Tianyuan Realm, back home in the Huai Xu Realm, even bigger surprises awaited him.

Thump, thump.

The source of the soul, the foundation of the mind, in the center of the Soul and Spirit, right in the middle of the Purple Mansion Divine Sea.

[Heavenly Mandate] pulsed momentarily.

Suddenly, a searingly hot fierce flame surged from his heart’s sea. An Jing abruptly lifted his head, almost in a state of shock as he looked up at the endless, tide-like rushing black Demonic Qi.

—Could it be that the battle is still not finished?!

This is what An Jing thought, but suddenly, a radiant rainbow light of seven colors burst forth from the center of his chest.

This rainbow light was dazzling, representing the Seven Luminaries and Seven Fiend, like the heart of Heaven and Earth. As soon as it appeared, it ignited a colorless, intangible, and material-less fierce flame that soared to the skies, igniting the continuously surging Demonic Qi, erupting with a remarkable amount of Mysterious Primordial Qi. The Demonic Qi quickly surged, plunging into the fierce flames, forming a vortex that continually burned the Demonic Qi, transforming into soaring Xuanyuan Flames.

The flame light grew brighter and brighter like a sun rising from deep within the earth.

Then, it exploded.

In that instant, everyone around Broken Blade Mountain saw that centered around Broken Blade Peak, where Demonic Qi was most densely entwined, right in the middle of the mountain split by the sword crevice, a tremendously vivid flash of light emerged.

The mountain was melting. In the blazing brilliance, the center of the Broken Blade Mountain Range, the sacred land of the ancient Iron Li people, several peaks were slowly crumbling, melting, thunderously collapsing down. However, melting and burning along with these already ravaged peaks was the terrifying Demonic Qi left behind by the deaths of nearly ten Great Heavenly Demons!
