Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1573: Chapter 1611: The Dark Shura Clan’s Bounty

After a brief contemplation, True Word Venerable turned and said, "I will go down and investigate. Contact me if there’s an emergency."

With those words, holding the Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan, she leapt into the terrifying Fire Spring.

Heart Demon Venerable glanced at the Fire Spring, realizing that there might be a significant treasure inside.

But on second thought, even a Two-star Giant King’s essence could be dissolved by it, representing extreme danger.

He, experiencing a Heavenly Person Decline, without a Fire Dao cultivation technique or heavy treasures for protection, would only be courting trouble by going in.

"Let us protect True Word Venerable. If she can bring back the treasure, it will only benefit our Taicang State," he said.

He sat cross-legged above the Fire Spring, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing.

Jian Lanjiang glanced at the members of the Fire Worship Sect and said:

"Qian Lan Fairy, Yun Huo."

"You should relocate the Fire Worship Sect members to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion as soon as possible."

"The Fire Worship Sect cannot stay here for long."

The Fire Worship Sect was too close to the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

The Great Wine Sacrifice and the Giant Emperor’s battle could break out at any time and affect this place.

Qian Lan Fairy cupped her hands and said, "Yes, senior!"

The protective Great Array of the Fire Worship Sect had already failed, losing its ability to protect the people, so they must move.

Night Asura King took responsibility for keeping watch, surveying the heavens and earth in all directions.

To prevent the sudden return of that Two-star Fire Giant King.

Unintentionally, when he scanned over the long staircase in front of the Fire Worship Sect’s mountain gate, he found a woman sitting silently, hugging her knees on the steps.

Her eyes were hollow and vacant, her eyes reddened, as if she had gone through something sorrowful.

Her appearance was extraordinarily stunning, to the extent that even someone of his old age couldn’t help but feel moved.

However, her body seemed somewhat transparent, and her state appeared somewhat strange.

"Friend Jian, who is that?" asked Night Asura King in surprise.

Jian Lanjiang replied, "She was the Dao companion of Dharma Seal Vajra before he returned to secular life. For the common people, Dharma Seal Vajra entered Buddhism and achieved Bodhisattva-hood."

"Thus, she became all alone."

Oh~

Night Asura King nodded in understanding; Dharma Seal Vajra’s action, though noble for the common people, seemed heartless to the woman before them.

He sighed and then focused on surveying the surroundings.

To observe the distant heavens and earth, he activated the talent of his eyes, revealing the essence of everything in his sight.

When he swept across Yuwei, Ming Ye suddenly froze and then trembled all over, shivering as he said:

"It’s the Remnant Soul of the Asura Emperor!"

"Moreover, from the Youmei Asura Clan!"

"But how could an Asura Emperor from the Youmei Clan be caught up in emotion?"

"Unless..."

As if sensing his probing, Yuwei raised her head and looked at him across the space.

The sound of a distant thunder seemed to echo coldly in Ming Ye’s mind.

"Mind your own business!"

Night Asura King shuddered and quickly diverted his gaze, feeling uneasy.

Did this Remnant Soul of Asura Emperor come to Central Earth with some intention?

Elsewhere.

White Horse Temple.

The Misfortune God Stele, Pingtian Bodhisattva, and the Three-Star Space Giant King transmitted over.

The Three-Star Space Giant King stepped out of the Transmission Hall, surveying White Horse Temple with a chuckle:

"The Spirit Vein of the number one Divine Sect in Taicang State is nothing remarkable."

"It pales in comparison to the Heavenly Realm."

"I really don’t know where all the resources from the continent taken from the Heavenly Realm a thousand years ago have gone."

Pingtian Bodhisattva pondered deeply.

From the visions of Jiang Fan’s journey to the Heavenly Realm, it was obvious that the resources there vastly surpassed those of Central Earth.

Even ordinary bees, nourished by the resources of the Heavenly Realm, were as large as calves.

The continent of Central Earth originated from the Heavenly Realm, yet the resources it manifests are less than one percent of the original.

Where did all the other resources go?

This is truly a question worthy of investigation.

"Hmm!" The Three-Star Space Giant King suddenly noticed something, his gaze turning towards the underground of White Horse Temple with a look of surprise:

"A princess of the Dark Shura Clan? She’s actually in your White Horse Temple!"

"The Dark Shura Clan has offered a reward for the Five-Star Giant King to ascend the Giant Emperor rank, searching the entire Heavenly Realm for her."

A flicker of heat and greed filled his eyes!

If he handed this princess over to the Netherworld King, could he avoid death?

At that moment.

The Array within the Transmission Hall was activated, beams of spatial light shot up into the sky.

In the light beams, Jiang Fan’s aura appeared and disappeared.

The Three-Star Space Giant King was suddenly taken aback, Jiang Fan had actually chased after them!

With Jiang Fan present, and along with the Misfortune God Stele and Tianping Bodhisattva, taking the Dark Clan princess would be difficult.

Additionally, it might disrupt the transaction between the two sides, leading to being besieged again by the powerhouses of Taicang State.

He glared at the arriving Jiang Fan with secret resentment: "Troublesome fellow!"

"If not for the Misfortune God Stele by the side, I’d definitely slaughter you!"

He stepped forth, crossing the Vast Sea, guided by Pingtian Bodhisattva, heading towards the continent.

Vaguely, he heard Jiang Fan’s angry shout: "Do not leave!"

He smirked and continued on his way, neither fast nor slow.

A few two-hour periods later.

They crossed the Vast Sea.

A coastline came into view.

Pingtian Bodhisattva said, "That is the continent. Continue south, and you’ll find the underground world you mentioned."

He and the Misfortune God Stele slowed their pace.

They dared not accompany the Three-Star Space Giant King onto the continent, lest they be instantly killed.

Hmm?

The Three-Star Space Giant King cast a suspicious glance at the two, saying:

"Why have you slowed down?"

Pingtian Bodhisattva’s heart skipped a beat. Truly, for someone who grew into a Three-Star Giant King among giants, he was exceedingly cautious.

Without a second thought, he said, "I sensed Master Jiang’s aura. He is still relentless in pursuit."

"If he continues to persist in this manner, he could hinder you in the underground world, making it difficult for you to enter the Hell Realm successfully."

Hearing this, the Three-Star Space Giant King also frowned lightly.

What’s in the underground world? He had no idea. If there were something like a Transmission Array, Jiang Fan’s destruction of it could indeed impact his plans.

Pingtian Bodhisattva continued, "I will stay behind to block him; you and the Misfortune God Stele proceed."

As he spoke.

Jiang Fan, riding a Thunder Dragon, charged forward, face full of killing intent, hair standing on end.

Without a word, he unleashed a towering Undying Blade, slashing fiercely at the Three-Star Giant King:

"Beast, you’re not leaving alive!"

Pingtian Bodhisattva calmly raised his arm, waving a sheet of Buddha Light to block the Undying Blade:

"Master Jiang, turn back before it’s too late. Don’t be obstinate."

Jiang Fan coldly replied: "You damn bald monk, are you worthy of Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva?"

"Colluding with the devil, you can’t distinguish right from wrong. I’ll cleanse the Buddhist sect for you!"

"Four Symbols!"

"Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique" was unleashed, summoning four Divine Images to strike Pingtian Bodhisattva.

"Even a Buddha can be angered!" Pingtian Bodhisattva’s calm face transformed, displaying a wrathful expression.

His Kasaya shattered, Buddha Light infused his body, transforming him into a golden figure to clash fiercely.

Bang! Boom!

Amidst the fierce explosions, the two engaged in a violent struggle.

The Misfortune God Stele said indifferently, "The longer the night, the more dreams. We should hurry to the underground world."

The Three-Star Space Giant King smirked coldly, "You all continue to fight like dogs!"

He turned to leave with the Misfortune God Stele.

But as he looked towards the continent, a hunter’s intuition built over the years caused a faint unease to arise within him.

His eyes flickered, and he said to the Misfortune God Stele, "Why don’t you go to the continent first."
