Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1452: Flowers in Bloom

A Great Venerate of the Heavenly Human Five Declines?

Only twenty years old?

Not much older than Jiang Fan by a year or two!

Jiang Fan was shocked. How did she cultivate to this level?

Having seen the Star Mountain Master in her thirties, Jiang Fan thought she was already quite extraordinary.

Ordinary people need extremely long years to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Among the Divinity Transformation Venerables in Taicang State, aside from the True Word Venerable at twenty-five or six years old, which one isn’t middle-aged and older?

Yet the woman before him had already cultivated to the level of Human Supreme at the age of twenty.

At this moment, he truly felt what it meant to have people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Junior Wang Chongxiao, greets Senior."

Wang Chongxiao?

The woman murmured softly, "There really are a lot of people with that name lately."

"Wait here for a moment."

She vanished on the spot.

A moment later, a heartrending scream echoed from the horizon.

Then she returned, accompanied by a Soul Shadow Venerable with a face full of awe.

The woman said, "You two have good strength, especially you, Wang Chongxiao; you have potential. It would be a pity for you to die inside."

"Follow closely behind me, don’t stray far."

With a Great Venerate as protection, how could Jiang Fan refuse?

He hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Senior. May I ask your name?"

"I am the Ice Heart Venerate from Holy Spirit State."

The fairy-clad woman spoke without turning her head.

Jiang Fan remembered the name and quickly followed.

Soul Shadow Venerable glanced at the two Hell Creature corpses on the ground, furrowing his brow:

"This kid is really lucky, isn’t he?"

"I thought he was already dead. Didn’t expect he’d encounter Ice Heart Venerate and be saved."

He stared at Jiang Fan’s back, eyes cold, "No rush, there’s plenty of chances to get you killed inside."

Under the guidance of Ice Heart Venerate, Jiang Fan stepped into the rift.

This rift led directly to the depths underground.

Yin Qi surged outward like an erupting volcano.

Hell Creatures occasionally ran out, only to be effortlessly exterminated by Ice Heart Venerate.

Jiang Fan asked, "Ice Heart Senior, what’s the situation in the interlayer world now?"

Despite being a Great Venerate of the Heavenly Human Five Declines, Ice Heart Venerate had no airs.

Patiently, she replied, "Ten days ago, the Great Wine Sacrifice failed to seal the entrance of the interlayer world, and a large number of Hell Creatures charged out."

"In these past days, strong leaders from various states have come to assist, driving the Hell Creatures towards the exit."

"They’re fiercely counterattacking."

"The Divinity Transformation Hell Creature from earlier was just a lucky escape from the encirclement."

Jiang Fan’s pupils quivered.

In his mind, the Great Wine Sacrifices from each state were enigmatic beings, capable of contending with Sages.

And yet, they failed to seal the entrance.

Is there something in the interlayer world that even the Great Wine Sacrifice couldn’t handle?

Ice Heart Venerate continued, "Now, our strong leaders from Central Earth are divided into three routes: east, south, and west, to push back the Hell Creatures."

"The Young Emperor is responsible for the south route, while I lead a portion of the strong leaders for the east route, and Golden Scale Venerate leads a portion for the west route."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan was puzzled and asked, "Is the Young Emperor alone?"

Ice Heart Venerate nodded lightly, "He doesn’t need anyone else."

"He’s handling the south route alone, and it’s advancing the fastest among the three routes."

Jiang Fan was quite taken aback!

The Young Emperor, on his own, was causing the Hell Creature army in one direction to retreat step by step.

The speed is faster than the Central Earth coalition forces on the east and west routes!

Even though they’re all Heavenly Human Five Declines, the Young Emperor is far stronger than Ice Heart Venerate and Golden Scale Venerate, isn’t he?

Ice Heart Venerate calmly stated, "The Young Emperor is the strongest of the Heavenly Human Five Declines in Central Earth."

"He cultivates the Thunder Path that restrains Hell Creatures, naturally it’s dominant."

"It’s perfectly normal for me and Golden Scale Venerate to fall short in some aspects."

The strongest of the Heavenly Human Five Declines?

Jiang Fan felt a heaviness in his heart. Is the Young Emperor really that strong?

"Our east route must not lag too far behind, otherwise, if the Young Emperor dashes in alone, he might be surrounded."

As Ice Heart Venerate spoke, she led them to the depths below.

They landed on a broken cliff.

Looking afar, a vast and boundless black land came into view.

On the ground, the hellish creatures resemble a tide, stretching endlessly into the horizon.

They pour forth continuously from the depths.

Below the cliff, hundreds of experts from the Demon Race and Human Clan form a defensive line, firmly resisting the onslaught of the hellish creatures.

This scene, how similar it is to the past at Boundary Mountain?

The difference is that the current hellish creatures not only number endless but are far more ferocious than the Demon Race.

As he lamented, a Nascent Soul Realm fairy was pierced through the chest by a red beam and then devoured by the hellish creatures, leaving no remains.

And similar scenes occur repeatedly.

Jiang Fan clenched his fists tightly.

These were the main forces to resist the Ancient Giants shortly after!

Yet they all died tragically here!

Who exactly unleashed this hellish creature horde?

At this moment.

Aura of destruction reappeared in the depths of the hellish creature tide.

Ice Heart Venerate narrowed his eyes and said, "Another Divinity Transformation Realm hellish creature is coming."

"You should join the defensive line too, but act according to your ability, and don’t force yourself."

With that said, he flashed and departed.

Jiang Fan couldn’t wait to fly down.

Soul Shadow Venerable sighed slightly, finally, the meddlesome person left.

Next, just wait for Jiang Fan to die at the mouths of the hellish creatures!

He pointed at the sky and said, "Wang Chongxiao, don’t be afraid, kill as many hellish creatures as possible to get enough rewards."

Jiang Fan looked up, seeing numerous crystals floating in the sky, recording the battle scene in its entirety.

Afterward, the crystal recordings will be replayed to assess achievements.

But now, Jiang Fan had no mind to care about achievements.

Without acknowledging him, he dove straight down.

At a certain point of the defensive line.

Jiang Wuya held the sword box, flicking his fingers, and rays of multicolored sword light shot out.

Wherever they passed, all the hellish creatures were sliced into equally-sized chunks.

Behind him were the Nascent Soul Experts from the Seven Schools of the Three God Sect of Taicang State.

They were uniformly Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul.

Taicang State is unlike other states with plentiful powerhouses.

Every Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul is an extremely precious combat power for Taicang State, and losing even one would be a great pity.

Taicang State dispatched ten Eight-Orifice Nascent Souls, showing just how great the support was.

Yet, even with Jiang Wuya, the Divinity Transformation Venerable, at the helm, their situation was far from favorable.

Song Lingyu’s face turned slightly pale, showing signs of power deficiency.

"What’s going on? Why are there more and more hellish creatures?"

As the battle continued, their defensive line not only failed to advance but rather retreated further back.

Jiang Wuya said calmly, "It’s the Young Emperor."

"As he advances north, the hellish creatures from his direction scatter to the east and west."

"That’s why we’re facing more and more hellish creatures."

The Nascent Soul Experts of Taicang State had grim expressions.

Their team was at the very center of the defensive line, facing the most ferocious hellish creatures.

Now, with the pressure increasing tremendously, their situation was precarious.

The hellish creatures have high spiritual wisdom and, sensing an opportunity, charged even more recklessly.

Even worse, a few Nine Aperture Nascent Soul-level hellish creatures quietly approached the front line, hidden among the beast tide.

When Jiang Wuya launched an attack, they seized the moment to suddenly jump out, each spraying red hazardous beams toward different experts.

They intended to break through at Taicang State, tearing a gap in the defensive line.

Jiang Wuya’s expression changed, saying, "Be careful!"

He waved his sleeve, dispersing several red beams.

But there was still one that slipped through, heading towards the old woman of Great Yin Sect’s Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul.

The beam came too fast, leaving no time to react.

The next moment, she was pierced through the chest by the red beam.

The face of Song Lingyu beside her changed drastically as she caught the old woman in her arms, exclaiming, "Senior Yun Xun!"

Yet, by catching her, she fell right into the hellish creatures’ trap.

A lurking Nine Aperture Nascent Soul hellish creature suddenly launched a red beam toward Song Lingyu.

In an instant, Song Lingyu was enveloped by the beam.

Her heart skipped a beat.

A deadly heat surged towards her.

But just as she was about to meet the same fate as Yun Xun,

a matchless Thunder Sword came slicing from behind, extinguishing the scarlet beam right before her!
