Chapter 941: 699 blackmails Kunpeng, Beidou Nine Stars Banner_9

"With such speed, the Human King will not take long to become a peer amongst us."

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Jiang Chen, his eyes shining with admiration as he praised him repeatedly.

Unsolicited favors, hmm...

Jiang Chen and Zhen Yuanzi were not close, and the latter’s sudden assistance and generous praise naturally had a purpose. The only reason could be to seek an alliance with Jiang Chen to kill the ancestor Kunpeng.

Indeed, Zhen Yuanzi was such a loyal friend. Because of the death of his good friend Red Cloud, he had directly clashed with the top Great Divine Transcendents, Underworld River and Kunpeng, vowing to fight them to the death.

To risk life and limb for a brother is just what Zhen Yuanzi would do. No wonder the Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World liked to befriend Zhen Yuanzi—who wouldn’t appreciate a friend who would go to such lengths?

"Rest assured, senior, I have a great grudge against Kunpeng. If I make progress in my cultivation, I will surely have a life-and-death battle with him."

Jiang Chen spoke, assuring Zhen Yuanzi that since Kunpeng had repeatedly tried to kill him, he could not let the matter rest.

"Don’t worry, my friend, I too have a great grudge against that Kunpeng. When the time comes for you to take action, I will certainly not stand idly by."

Seeing Jiang Chen mention only his own grudge with Kunpeng, and not the Human Race’s, Zhen Yuanzi undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding an alliance with the Human Race, Zhen Yuanzi remained cautious. If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have sought out Jiang Chen; he valued Jiang Chen’s identity as the third-generation disciple of the Mystic Sect.

With this identity, it would be a conflict within the Mystic Sect, not giving others an excuse to intervene and save Kunpeng.

As for Jiang Chen’s weakness, that was unimportant. His growth rate was fast. Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, he could advance to the realm of a Great Divine Transcendent. Having waited for millions of years already, Zhen Yuanzi did not mind waiting a few more tens of thousands.

"Ah, this is the Northern Netherworld, I cannot stay here too long, my friend. If you are free in the future, you can come to Wanshou Mountain to find me."

After a brief exchange with Jiang Chen, Zhen Yuanzi’s silhouette vanished from the spot.

This was, after all, the Northern Netherworld, the stronghold of the ancestor Kunpeng. Fighting here would put Zhen Yuanzi at a great disadvantage, and even if it were only a Divine Thought, he would not stay long in the Northern Netherworld.

"The Prehistoric World!"

After Zhen Yuanzi left, Jiang Chen couldn’t help shaking his head. If he were willing to ally with the Human Race, Kunpeng would have fallen by now and wouldn’t still be causing trouble.

Unfortunately, Great Divine Transcendents were at a critical moment in their cultivation and the last thing they wanted was to get entangled in karma. And the Human Race was, without a doubt, a place rife with disputes and countless karmic ties.

Unless the Human Race could guarantee the Great Divine Transcendents’ advancement to the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, no Great Divine Transcendent would step into such disputes and join the Human Race.

To put it more accurately, the Human Race did not yet have the standing to ask these Great Divine Transcendents to gamble their paths on them. The Demon Clan did not possess such standing, let alone the Human Race?

The Dao Fruit of Primordial Chaos!

Where would the Human Race get the Dao Fruit of Primordial Chaos? Even if they had some, they would need it for themselves first; how could they possibly share it with outsiders?

"It’s still that the Human Race is not strong enough. If the Human Race were strong enough, it wouldn’t be the Human Race begging for help from the Great Divine Transcendents, but rather those Great Divine Transcendents actively seeking to join the Human Race."

Pulling his thoughts back, Jiang Chen assured his direction and headed towards the deepest part of the Northern Netherworld.

To have Great Divine Transcendents clamoring to join the Human Race, the Human Race must be very strong, incredibly strong. They had to be not only stronger than the witch and demon two clans but far surpass the Mystic Sect. Only in such a state could they achieve what Jiang Chen envisioned.

To achieve this, it was not something Jiang Chen could do alone, it required the untiring efforts of countless generations of the Human Race, only then could they see a glimmer of hope.

However, as long as there was human endeavor, Jiang Chen looked forward to the arrival of that day.

...

......

The Ruined Land, the most mysterious place in the Prehistoric World, located in the deepest part of the Northern Netherworld, within an endless abyss.

This was a land of destruction, where, legend had it, all worlds would sink into the Ruined Land after they were destroyed.

Even the Prehistoric World, should one day face the Immeasurable Kalpa, it too would erupt from the Ruined Land, spewing forth endless calamities and annihilating all the heavens and myriads of worlds.

The Ruined Land, the graveyard of worlds, the ultimate destination of Heaven and Earth. It could be said that the Ruined Land was one of the most dangerous territories in the Prehistoric World, filled with the aura of destruction, where even Great Divine Transcendents might face life-threatening peril and perish within.

Yet, where there is peril, there is also opportunity; as dangerous as the Ruined Land is, it is also the biggest opportunity in the Prehistoric World.

Hidden under destruction, lie countless opportunities.

It was the purest of life forces, born from destruction, containing transformations beyond imagination. Consider, after the destruction of a world, the life force that remains is nothing short of extraordinary.

A life force that even the calamities of Heaven and Earth’s shattering cannot erode has already transcended Heaven and Earth, reaching the level of Primordial Chaos. Such power is a rare treasure even for Saints, let alone for Divine Transcendents. If obtained, it could help them comprehend the profound mysteries of the Primordial earlier.

It could be said, whatever sinks into the Ruined Land, as long as it isn’t destroyed, is an unimaginably precious treasure, possessing characteristics of the Primordial.

For this reason, from ancient times to the present, numerous powerful cultivators have entered the Ruined Land in search of treasures.

Of course, these treasures are so precious that they are not easy to obtain.

Quasi-Saints and Great Divine Transcendents keep on trying their luck in succession, but the ones who harvest anything are few, and there are even those who sink into the Ruined Land forever, never to return.

"The mysteries of the Ruined Land are profound, and though its treasures are hard to obtain, the place itself is a great treasure. If one truly cannot find any treasures, then comprehending the Tao and observing the Dao Rhyme of this place is also a significant gain,"

"Like the ancestor Kunpeng, his Divine Ability contains the mysteries of the Ruined Land, and his strikes seem to be able to devour all things, immensely powerful. He must have observed for a long time in the Ruined Land before incorporating its Dao into his Divine Ability."

"This is the advantage of location. Ordinary people wishing to go to the Ruined Land must traverse mountains and rivers, crossing the Endless Void. But for Kunpeng, it’s not necessary, for the Ruined Land is right at his doorstep; to see it, he only needs to open his door."

Jiang Chen strode toward the Ruined Land, although he did not know its exact location, he knew that once he reached the Northern Netherworld, if he kept heading north, he would eventually see the Ruined Land.

The Northern Netherworld was vast, to call it boundless would not be an exaggeration. The Demon Clan’s palace was only like the center of the Northern Netherworld, and not actually its center. Moreover, unlike the Eastern Sea, the ends of the Northern Netherworld were bounded by the Ruined Land, not by the all heavens and myriads of the worlds.

The land of the Northern Netherworld was one of the few in the Three Realms, not connected to the all heavens and myriads of worlds.

As for the ends of the Ruined Land, it was the boundless Great Chaos, a place perilous even for Saints, where few cultivators dared to set foot.

"Human King, please halt. My ancestor invites you over for a chat,"

As he walked, an unexpected shout reached Jiang Chen’s ears.
