Chapter 663: Chapter 627: Successful Extradition!_1

"Hei!"

Yu Xin cried out in the high skies, her voice desolate like the mournful cry of a cuckoo. Her long eyelashes fluttered, spilling a string of crystal-clear tears.

She had been desperately searching for the Dark Giant Python for a long time.

She searched in the Fourth Realm, the Third Realm, and even revisited the Northern Qi Fragment Land in the Second Realm.

She didn’t know that the Dark Giant Python had been evading her all along; she once thought that Hei, who had been with her for many years, had died in the chaotic situation at hand.

Several times, she was deeply saddened.

Now that she had finally found a trace of Hei, she never expected to witness his death with her own eyes.

Yu Xin found this unacceptable!

Even though she knew her despondent calls would displease the tribe leader and leave a bad impression on Shajia, and might even affect her status in the Heaven Clan, she still futilely tried to alert Hei with her loud cries.

She wanted Hei to live!

But she quickly saw in despair as ten dazzling divine lights spilled from the tribe leader’s flawless wings!

The ten divine lights, which made her blood boil and compelled her to prostrate in worship, contained the tribe leader’s supreme essence of brightness. Hei would surely not escape this calamity.

Her mouth was still open, but the mournful warning cries stopped; she knew that whatever she did was meaningless.

Hei would still die in the end.

Sure enough, the ten blinding lights, which seemed to pierce through the darkness of the world and struck fear into the hearts of every powerful Demon Race on the Demon Spirit Continent, were like ten divine swords descending from the heavens.

The ten divine lights fell toward the deep, cold pool without discrimination.

Suddenly!

The water in the pool, black as ink, instantly became clear and bright.

All darkness disappeared in a flash!

Gone along with it was the vast Filth Alien Power surging in the darkness, including the Dark Giant Python lurking at the bottom of the pool!

"Pff! Pff, pff!"

The piercing divine lights, without any hesitation, reached the bottom of the pool, drilling ten massive holes into the hard rock there.

"Boom! Rumble!"

The holes reached deep into the heart of the Demon Spirit Continent, shaking the ground for thousands of miles, causing many unfortunate lesser demons to be shaken to death by the aftershocks.

The intense light that penetrated the earth also made the land in this region radiate a startling brightness from within.

In the area of the cold pool, the surface flowed with glittering light, coming from Shajia’s divine power, which, not willing to give up, was still searching for traces of the Dark Giant Python.

But found nothing.

The dark energy of the pool, the turbulent Filth Alien Power in the darkness, and the Dark Giant Python all mysteriously vanished.

It was as if an invisible divine hand reached into the cold, deep waters of the pool and extracted the power necessary for the Dark Giant Python’s ascension to Demon God in one go.

"Ah!"

Yu Xin covered her mouth in a soft gasp.

With darkness gone, the inside of the pool became visible.

She saw the fossilized bones of Demon Kings, saw the ten holes ejecting light outward, and she saw the rocks and seaweed at the bottom of the pool, but she did not see Hei, the one she knew so well.

At the moment when Hei was about to be struck by the ten divine lights, right under the watchful eyes of the tribe leader, Hei inexplicably vanished from the bottom of the pool.

This was nothing short of miraculous!

"Thump! Thump, thump!"

Yu Xin’s bosom, hidden under her white sacred robe, heaved dramatically.

Her heart was racing, as if she had just been through a life-and-death ordeal. The first person that came to her mind was Pang Jian!

Once upon a time, a mysterious force had passed through Hei’s mouth, granting her Gold Friday Stones and other rare Spiritual Materials, allowing her to yearn for light in dark times.

At the moment of Hei’s impending death, who else could have taken Hei out of the dire situation, if not the master Hei himself acknowledged?

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"

Waves of stunning light wandered on the surface and beneath the land of the Demon Spirit Continent.

Shajia, still not giving up, continued searching for the Dark Giant Python’s whereabouts, and secretly communicated with the Shadow Clan’s Jingsha and the Cyclops, Aman, asking them to help with the search.

Suddenly, she noticed the Saintess she had chosen, first showing a relieved expression, then contemplative.

"Yu Xin, do you know something?"

With a stern expression, she elaborated on the stakes, "If the bloodline of the Dark Giant Python advances to level ten, it will transform into a Demon Dragon. More likely than not, it will become a Dark Demon Dragon. A tenth-level Black Dragon, if it becomes our enemy in the future, I am not confident I can win against him."

"It’s not just me; the bloodlines of all the Heaven Clan people from Purgatory will likely be subtly suppressed by him."

"Just for a piece of your past, because of his companionship, would you put our Heaven Clan in jeopardy?"

"Yu Xin, you are the Saintess I personally chose. If I were to die in battle, sacrificing my life for the tribe, it would be up to you and your brother to stand up and out."

"When that Black Dragon becomes a Demon God and raises its sword against our Heaven Clan, what will you do?"

Raising her voice, Shajia sternly said, "Are you willing to let our Heaven Clan be annihilated, for a beast of the Demon Race, to let your kin all die in battle?"

"No! He’s not a beast, he has spiritual wisdom! He always has!"

Yu Xin, who looked up to Shajia with full respect, was instantly stung when she heard the words "beast of the Demon Race."

She suddenly realized that in the eyes of the Sovereign, in the minds of those paramount beings in the Fifth Realm, the Demon Race that once dominated the Purgatory World was still seen as a group of creatures with unshed wildness.

Perhaps it was the Demon Race’s appearance, so different from their own, that made them never truly regard the Demon Race as a level of wisdom race on the same plane.

"I don’t know much about Hei, and I don’t know where he has gone," Yu Xin said, her head bowed deeply, nervously twisting the corner of her clothes, repeating over and over, "Hei is intelligent, he always has been."

Shajia’s brows furrowed deeply, knowing that she was hiding something, but unable to pry it open.

"I will find him and bring about the fall of this Dark Demon God, no matter what the cost!"

Shajia eventually said so.

...

Panshi Fragment Land.

Underneath the thick ice-encrusted surface of the lake, Pang Jian in his true form held aloft a bronze placard, casting out a void light screen, as if excavating a space from somewhere and bringing it here.

Dark Supernatural Ability filled the waters of the lake, along with the surging Filth Alien Power.

The dragon’s body snaked under the lake like a black mountain range, making the space at the bottom of the lake seem crowded, as a pitch-black dragon uneasily unfolded from its coiled state.

His dragon’s eyes were tightly closed, the iron-like dragon scales rustling at the bottom of the lake, engulfing the thick Filth Alien Power.

"These might not be enough."

"In the process of ascending to a Demon God, I need a massive amount of Blood and Flesh Essence Energy, I need more overwhelming Filth Energy."

"I..."

He made his desires known through his Demon Soul.

The moment he arrived at Panshi Fragment Land from the Demon Spirit Continent, he made a decision in his heart—after he became a Demon God, he would always be on the same side as Pang Jian.

Because he was of the Demon Race, because the Demon Race and the Human Race were now opposed, and because the Dark Giant Python, which had always been averse to contacting Pang Jian, had unraveled its heart’s knot in the face of death.

Once the knot was untied, he no longer resisted help from Pang Jian.

At the critical stage of becoming a Demon God, he actively stated what he needed, asking Pang Jian to solve it for him as much as possible.

"This Black Dragon has grown mature."

The Old Black Turtle, who had transformed into a human, and Pang Jian, who had hurriedly returned, came from the bottom of the lake to the surface.

Beneath the crystal-clear surface of the lake was darkness, all the power from the Dark Giant Python, as well as the Filth Alien Power, were sealed by the hard ice of the lake surface and the rocks of Fragment Land.

"The Heaven Clan supreme being who wants to kill him won’t be able to find him anytime soon."

The Old Black Turtle stood upon the ice rock with his hands behind his back, squinting slightly as he gazed into the darkness below the lake.

Using the insight of the master of Fragment Land, he observed the Dark Giant Python below, saying, "The Black Dragon is right—since he was transferred directly from a realm saturated with Filth Alien Power to Panshi Fragment Land, he cannot gather the energy needed to ascend to a Demon God afterward."

"That means, you need to collect Filth Energy for him and deliver the energy down to the Ice Lake."

"As for Blood and Flesh Essence Energy..."

The Old Black Turtle pondered for a moment and said, "I might be able to think of something in this regard."

"I’ve come back this time to attempt channeling in a realm rich with Filth Alien Power using my true body," Pang Jian’s mind stirred, and he immediately sensed Pang Ling.

With just one glance, a smile crossed his lips.

By slaying the Nine-Headed Bird at Cloud Marsh and letting its blood spill over the land, irrigating the soil beneath Cloud Marsh, he finally facilitated Pang Ling’s breakthrough in rank.

"I have returned in my true form; the gate is in my hands, and I can teleport at will between realms."

Saying so, he also used the sight of the master of Fragment Land to take a look at the current state of Panshi Fragment Land.

Li Yuqing, Li Jie, and Wu Sujin, among others, had successively left Panshi Fragment Land to return to the First Realm’s West Soil, seeking to break through their limits with the help of Heaven Treasure Li Family and the Pure Land.

Qi Qingsong and Zhuang Yuyan also returned to Qitian Continent using the Teleportation Array.

The remaining Sword Tower Elders all felt that the Sword Tower’s main branch on Qitian Continent was in danger of becoming a key breakthrough point for the Fifth Realm Alien Tribes, so they all went to assist in the battle.

The reason they were at ease in leaving was also because they knew that there was an Old Black Turtle, a ninth-level Demon King of the same level, stationed beneath the land of Fragment Land.

Apart from the Old Black Turtle, there were also a ninth-level Ice Armor Eel Dragon and a White Fox.

With such power, even if a tenth-level supreme being from the Fifth Realm came to invade Panshi Fragment Land, they might not necessarily gain the upper hand.

"Your sister has been led to the First Realm’s Pure Land; you can rest assured."

As he sensed the situation in Fragment Land, the Old Black Turtle brought up something he cared about, then continued, "Zhu Ji, Li Wang, and the Ghost Mother are trapped by the Sovereign using six items. Currently, all the True Gods are in the void outside the Eastland, trying to find a way to rescue Zhu Ji and the others."

"And the Original Demon remains untraced."

"That Sovereign, who descended into the Darkness of the Fifth Realm, seems to be searching for the Original Demon."

Despite staying in Fragment Land, the Old Black Turtle was aware of worldly affairs and detailed the intelligence he knew.

After listening to him, Pang Jian pondered for a long time and then suddenly asked, "Without relying on nature’s spiritual energy but seeking a breakthrough with the Filth Alien Power of the Fifth Realm, if a new seat for a Demon God is formed, is there a chance for you to ascend to a Demon God again?"

"Your Bloodline and that of the Rock Bear are both related to the earth; you vacated this path for Him, letting Him reach the tenth level."

"So, if you were to descend into the Fifth Realm and cleanse your blood and Demon Heart with Filth Alien Power again, could you possibly snatch a strand of Supernatural Ability from within the Filth Alien Power and ascend to a Demon God?"
