Chapter 402: The Demon Lord killed by the Ancestral Dragon number 387

Above the Eastern Sea, just as Jiang Chen was nearing the sea area where the Demon Tomb was located, his aura suddenly began to change.

The celestial aura of transcending the ordinary quickly retreated, instead replaced by a chilling demonic aura. Simultaneously, six pitch-black Sin Treasure Wheels rose from behind his head, and an evil energy spread around him, making him look like a Demonic Way overlord.

Accumulating sins was indeed faster than accumulating merits. Over the years, Jiang Chen didn’t do much, but the Sin Treasure Wheel on him had already transformed from four to six.

It was this exaggerated without any intention. If one intentionally commits evil, wouldn’t it be terrifying? Perhaps they would have succumbed to the Heavenly Dao long ago with the complete Sin Treasure Wheel, struck down mercilessly.

The Sin Treasure Wheel, this was the only Demonic Way Divine Ability Jiang Chen knew. Moreover, it was also the top-notch divine ability of the Demon Sect. With this divine ability, Jiang Chen could easily pretend to be a disciple of the Demon Sect without fear of suspicion.

After all, this divine ability was passed down by the Demon Ancestor, and no one outside of the direct line of the Demon Sect could cultivate it. Of course, those outside of the Demon Sect’s direct line wouldn’t dare to cultivate this divine ability either.

Intending to explore the tombs of the experts from the Demon Sect, Jiang Chen planned to disguise himself as a demon cultivator. To this end, he made full preparations. The Sin Treasure Wheel was only a part of it, serving as the symbol of his identity as a member of the Demon Sect.

But merely having an identity was not enough; one also needed to know some tricks of the Demon Sect. Apart from the Sin Treasure Wheel, Jiang Chen didn’t know any other techniques.

But that didn’t matter. What he didn’t know, he could imitate. The so-called tricks of the Demon Sect differed from the Immortal Dao only in the sense that one was based on evil energy, and the other was based on spiritual energy.

As long as Jiang Chen could demonstrate his divine abilities through evil energy, he could perfectly disguise himself as a mature Demon Sect cultivator.

Evil energy originated from the Chaos Demigod, and Pangu was the most powerful Chaos Demigod. As a Tao identity of Pangu, Jiang Chen naturally had the ability to manipulate evil energy.

With a movement in his heart, a stream of purple-black evil energy rose from Jiang Chen’s body like a dragon or a snake, pervading the void and emitting a threatening chill.

This was the god-killing demonic energy heritage from Pangu. Although its potency was a mere millionth of the original, it was still unparalleled in the Three Realms. Few people in the Demonic Way could match it.

"Bang!"

Jiang Chen flicked his finger, and a stream of the god-killing demonic energy transformed into a sword light burst and pierced the void ahead.

In this way, Jiang Chen successfully mastered the divine abilities of the Demon Sect.

Laughing heartily, Jiang Chen dived into the sea and headed towards the tomb of the powerful figure from the Demon Sect.

...

10,000 feet,

30,000 feet,

100,000 feet...

Unsure of how long he delved into the sea, Jiang Chen finally arrived at the seafloor, and before his eyes stood a tremendously deep abyss that was bottomless.

The Demon Sect strongman’s tomb was beneath this abyss. Without hurrying to go in, Jiang Chen started observing the surroundings of the abyss in detail.

Then, he discovered that this abyss was not naturally formed, but was torn open by someone with great magic power. Perhaps it was the doing of that powerful figure from the Demon Sect.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Jiang Chen started walking towards the abyss.

There were no defensive formations or prohibitions along the way, as the Demon Sect strongman himself was the best prohibition.

After the Demon Sect’s strongman fell, the evil energy that had been honed in his body for countless years lost control and fully erupted, annihilating all life in the vicinity and turning the place into a wasteland.

Moreover, as long this evil energy remained, its power would never wane, even after countless years.

Rumble!

The Sin Treasure Wheel kept rotating behind Jiang Chen, emitting multiple beams of light, which dispersed the overwhelming evil energy.

This supreme divine ability, inherited from the Demon Ancestor, was showing its power for the first time. Regardless of how turbulent the evil energy was, it couldn’t break through its defense and hurt Jiang Chen.

Relying on the Sin Treasure Wheel, Jiang Chen confidently moved forward and soon arrived at the bottom of the abyss, right before the tomb of the Demon Sect’s powerful practitioner.

This was a huge palace, brimming with an ancient aura, engulfed by pitch-black spiritual energy.

By the time we arrived here, the power of the spiritual energy had escalated to a staggering level, corroding even the rules of Heaven and Earth, exuding a sense of decay.

Jiang Chen’s Sin Treasure Wheel couldn’t surpass the Six Paths. Being able to reach this place was the limit, to proceed further, another method was likely necessary.

At this moment, a thought crossed Jiang Chen’s mind, causing the Dutian spiritual energy on his body to undergo a sudden transformation, condensing into a purple Dao Bell the size of a person, enveloping him inside it.

This was one of the Divine Abilities of the Demon Clan, created by Donghuang Taiyi in reference to the Chaos Bell, called the Immortal Emperor Heavenly Bell. It boasts a reputation of an unbeatable defense, ranking in the top ten of all known Divine Abilities of the Prehistoric World.

Now, Jiang Chen used the Dutian spiritual energy to create this bell. In addition to its overwhelming power, the bell exuded an intimidating air.

Dong...

A melodious bell sound echoed, dispelling all the spiritual energy around Jiang Chen. With that, he stepped forward and made his way into the Demon Tomb.

Simultaneously, within Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, the enlightenment from the Dao emitted a flash of light, causing his body gradually becoming ethereal, as if he had withdrawn from the confines of Heaven and Earth, transcending time and space.

Unlike the outside, the tomb was protected by a formation, likely deployed by the powerful demon to prevent others from tampering with his body.

At the same time, Jiang Chen confirmed that the owner of this tomb was at least an Innate Dao Sovereign. This was because it was a formation with the power to block an Innate Dao Sovereign.

In the face of this formation, judging by Jiang Chen’s current strength, it might take a thousand years to break it open. But was there that much time?

Therefore, Jiang Chen took a shortcut, isolated himself using the power of the Dao enlightenment, to avoid this place’s formation, and quietly entered the tomb.

...

"Such an overbearing aura!"

"Yet, why does this domineering aura feel familiar?"

Upon stepping into the tomb, Jiang Chen felt a particularly domineering, but somehow familiar aura. A thought flickered in his mind and soon he found the source of the familiarity.

This overbearing aura was even more domineering than Di Jun’s, there was no doubt, it was the aura of the ancestral dragon.

However, why would the aura of the ancestral dragon exist in the tomb of a powerful demon?

Reflecting on this, Jiang Chen cautiously followed the direction from where this thread of aura was emanating. As he walked, Jiang Chen also invoked his Dao enlightenment to illuminate the area in order to locate any treasures.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed. There were indeed quite a few halls in this place but they were all empty, devoid of anything.

What a miser!

With such a thought, Jiang Chen reached the direction from where the aura of the ancestral dragon was emanating, which was a grand hall filled with spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of this place was emanating from this grand hall.

This hall was likely where the Demon Sect Dao Sovereign fell.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed, a guess forming in his heart.

Perhaps the Demon Sect Dao Sovereign was killed by the ancestral dragon?

With this thought in mind, he walked into the grand hall.

Indeed, in the center of the grand hall, around the main pillar, lay a gigantic dragon corpse. The colossal spiritual energy spewing out of its body was spreading in all directions.

Presumably, this dragon corpse was that of the Demon Sect Dao Sovereign whose forehead bore a markedly distinct punch mark. The aura of the ancestral dragon was emanating from this.

This Demon Sovereign was likely to be critically injured by a punch from the ancestral dragon, then barely escaped with his battered body to this place, and finally succumbed to its injuries, dying here.

Regarding his dragon form and why he was killed by the ancestral dragon, Jiang Chen had some conjectures.
