Chapter 205: Is the Extraterrestrial Evil God Right in Front of Us? (Happy New Year)

Black Mist Mountains.

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' and Elder Liao An waited in place.

Divine Ape King was meditating with his eyes closed not far away. According to his intention, he was contacting several other Demon Beast Kings.

"Uncle Zhuang, I still feel something is wrong."

Elder Liao An kept observing his surroundings, growing increasingly uneasy as if an invisible pair of eyes was watching him in secret.

This feeling was very strong, and it usually only appeared when encountering life-and-death crises on the Evil God Battlefield.

Elder Liao An had been fighting on the Evil God Battlefield for two or three hundred years, but he had truly encountered a life-and-death crisis no more than ten times.

Every time, Elder Liao An relied on this special perception to avoid and prepare in advance, thus saving his life and eventually making numerous contributions to become an Elder of the Azure Sky Alliance.

Yet now?

In the rear of the Azure Sky World, a theoretically absolutely safe place, it actually gave him this feeling?

Elder Liao An found it inconceivable, but still couldn't help telling the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang'.

Actually, shortly after entering the Black Mist Mountains, Elder Liao An already had this feeling, but the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' did not pay much attention to it.

"What's wrong?"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

Elder Liao An frowned tightly; he didn't know what was wrong either.

It was just that his sixth sense was frantically sounding alarms.

"Didn't they say that the Demon Beast Kings are all in the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains? Why did this Divine Ape King run out now?"

Elder Liao An thought for a moment, glanced at Divine Ape King, and casually found an excuse to say.

"This—"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' fell into silence.

Why did Divine Ape King appear here? The entire Black Mist Mountains was the territory of the Demon Beast Kings; Divine Ape King could be wherever he wanted, and he couldn't control it anyway.

"Alright."

"Follow me inside."

"They are also prepared to see you."

Divine Ape King stood up, his massive body blocking the sunlight, plunging the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' and Elder Liao An into shadows.

Rumble, rumble, rumble.

Divine Ape King strode towards the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' and Elder Liao An looked at each other.

"Rest assured, this is the Black Mist Mountains. Would those few Demon Beast Kings really dare to make a move against us? Aren't they afraid the Alliance Leader will wipe them out?"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' comforted Elder Liao An with a few words.

"I hope so."

Elder Liao An steadied his mind and followed along with 'Qu Zhuang'.

As time passed,

the few of them grew closer and closer to the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.

"This—"

Elder Liao An's heartbeat accelerated, his vision vaguely blurring.

Danger.

Danger.

Extreme danger.

Elder Liao An only felt every piece of flesh and blood within his body trembling.

"How could this feeling appear?"

Elder Liao An found it hard to believe. The last time this feeling appeared was more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, Elder Liao An was still at the Fourth Tier, fighting those Evil God Puppets on the Evil God Battlefield.

That was the first time Elder Liao An experienced the omen of such a feeling, and not long after, the scene of the true body of that Extraterrestrial Evil God descending and ravaging the battlefield occurred.

"Extraterrestrial… Extraterrestrial Evil God?"

Elder Liao An's scalp went numb; he could not believe that in the rear of the Azure Sky World, he would produce the exact same sensation as before the descent of the Extraterrestrial Evil God.

"This won't do."

"We can't go in any further."

Even though Elder Liao An himself did not believe that the descent of an Extraterrestrial Evil God would happen deep within Cloud Mist Mountain,

but the instinct coming from his body prevented Elder Liao An from daring to continue deeper.

Even if he suffered punishment from the Azure Sky Alliance for this, or even lost his position as an Elder.

Swoosh.

Elder Liao An's figure soared into the sky, frantically fleeing toward the outside of the Black Mist Mountains.

"Ah?"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' beside him was somewhat stunned.

He didn't understand why Elder Liao An suddenly made such a move.

"Still running?"

Divine Ape King, who was leading the way in front, glanced at the frantically fleeing Elder Liao An and reached out his right hand to slap down.

Boom!!!

Terrifying power began to compress space. As a Demon Beast King, although Divine Ape King was extremely weak in front of Lin Yuan, without even the ability to resist,

in front of outsiders, he was powerful enough even against a Sixth Tier Elder of the Azure Sky Alliance, heavily injuring Elder Liao An with a single slap and violently smashing him onto the ground.

"You?"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' failed to react for a long time.

First, Elder Liao An fled for no reason, and then Divine Ape King decisively struck, heavily injuring Elder Liao An with a slap.

"Divine Ape King, how dare you?"

Although he didn't know why Elder Liao An did that, as an Elder of the Azure Sky Alliance, 'Qu Zhuang' would naturally stand by Elder Liao An's side.

Besides, Elder Liao An hadn't done anything. On what grounds was Divine Ape King so ruthless?

"He's not dead, just suffered some injuries."

Divine Ape King looked down at 'Qu Zhuang' and said in a booming voice.

"Suffered some injuries?"

"Hmph, in that case, we will go back to recuperate, and once our injuries are healed, we will come back to proclaim the Alliance Leader's order."

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' was silent for a moment, then stood up and flew toward Elder Liao An.

Divine Ape King's sudden attack made him vaguely sense something was amiss. Coupled with what Elder Liao An had just told him, the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' felt that the Black Mist Mountains seemed no longer to be the old Black Mist Mountains.

Although Qu Zhuang had not interacted much with Divine Ape King, as a Demon Beast King, his intelligence was no different from theirs, and he was very clear on what attacking an Elder of the Azure Sky Alliance truly meant.

Even so, the other party still did it, which caused 'Qu Zhuang' to feel somewhat terrified.

There were two possibilities.

First, Divine Ape King had gone mad.

Second, Divine Ape King simply did not take the Azure Sky Alliance or the Azure Sky Alliance Leader seriously at all.

Only like this

would he act so unscrupulously.

"Go back?"

"No need to go back."

"You can recuperate here."

Divine Ape King raised his head and looked from afar at the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang'.

"What…"

"Could it be that you, Divine Ape King, plan to keep me here to recuperate?"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' sneered. Although his strength was inferior to Divine Ape King's, it was only slightly inferior.

Divine Ape King was far from capable of heavily injuring him with a single slap the way he did to Elder Liao An.

Elder Liao An was only a newly advanced Sixth Tier, whereas he, 'Qu Zhuang', had been a Sixth Tier expert long before the invasion of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

"Let's try it."

Divine Ape King directly made a move, a terrifying aura spreading out.

"You really do have a problem, and the Black Mist Mountains have a problem too."

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' said word by word. Divine Ape King not only attacked Elder Liao An, but also intended to keep him in the Black Mist Mountains permanently.

What was he trying to do?

"Break."

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang's aura suddenly surged, and with a full-strength strike, he managed to stagger Divine Ape King.

Immediately, his entire person soared into the sky, shooting rapidly toward the outside of the Black Mist Mountains.

"Not good."

Divine Ape King was about to step forward to pursue.

"Just an idiot like you wants to chase me?"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' turned his head to glance back.

Relying on his speed, he could soon enter the outer area of the Black Mist Mountains, and by then, he would be able to contact other members of the Azure Sky Alliance.

"The Black Mist Mountains actually dare to commit such a rebellious act. I will definitely report this truthfully to the Alliance Leader and flatten all of you."

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' had a gloomy expression, having already made up his mind.

However.

Just at this moment.

Hum.

A black vine silently rose from beneath the ground, and with a gentle lash, it knocked the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' unconscious.

"Thank you for your action, Master."

Divine Ape King strode over and slightly bowed toward the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.

If it weren't for that black vine just now, he really might have let the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' escape.

I don't know how much time had passed.

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' and Elder Liao An woke up one after another.

"I, I'm not dead?"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' only felt his thoughts were a complete mess.

At the final moment of his memory, he only saw a pitch-black vine lashing toward him.

The feeling that vine gave him was far beyond what Divine Ape King could compare to.

Facing a Demon Beast King, the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' still had the ability to resist.

But when he saw that pitch-black vine just now, the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' felt that up, down, left, right, and all directions were squeezing in toward him.

It was completely impossible to dodge, nor was it possible to avoid that pitch-black vine.

This kind of feeling was something the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' had only experienced when he met the Azure Sky Alliance Leader, that is, the strongest person in the Azure Sky World holding the world sword.

It was a sense of powerlessness and despair as if an ant were looking up at heaven and earth.

Peak Seventh Tier expert.

A Peak Seventh Tier expert had made a move against them.

As soon as this thought emerged in the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang's mind, he completely lost consciousness and fainted.

"Where is this?"

Elder Liao An beside him also woke up.

He swallowed hard and looked around in all directions.

This was an empty valley with abundant spiritual energy. If they were still in the Black Mist Mountains, it could only be the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.

"Uncle Zhuang, we are now—"

Elder Liao An also noticed 'Qu Zhuang', who had also woken up nearby.

At this moment, the two of them wore apprehensive expressions. Discovering that their entire bodies, Qi, blood, and Soul were all sealed and they couldn't move even a bit, one could imagine the fear in their hearts.

"Demon Beast King…"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' raised his head and looked around.

He shockingly discovered that on both sides in the distance, seven massive figures were standing with bowed backs.

Among these seven massive figures were Divine Ape King whom they had just met, Giant Elephant King whom 'Qu Zhuang' recognized, as well as Green Bird King and so on.

The seven Demon Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountains were all gathered here.

What made the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' feel most incredible was that at this moment, these seven aloof Demon Beast Kings were all standing there respectfully, with extremely humble postures, bowing toward the highest point.

Who?

Who could make the Demon Beast Kings so respectful, or even submissive?

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' found it hard to believe. Demon Beast Kings were all arrogant, and with their noble Bloodlines, they had always looked down on human cultivators.

Throughout the entire Azure Sky Alliance, the only ones who could make the Demon Beast Kings wary and lower their heads were the Azure Sky Alliance Leader and those few Vice Alliance Leaders.

But even being wary and lowering their heads had nothing to do with submission.

Carrying incomparable terror and a trace of curiosity, the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' looked in the direction where the seven Demon Beast Kings were bowing.

Rustle, rustle.

That was an ancient tree.

Its branches swayed, and strips of black vines hung down.

Faintly, an evil and ancient aura washed over them.

"That is?"

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' was somewhat dazed. He vaguely felt as if he had seen this ancient tree before, but he couldn't remember when exactly he had seen it.

Or rather, he had already remembered, but instinctively he was rejecting it, because the true identity of this ancient tree carried a certain unprecedented, terrifying horror.

"Uncle Zhuang, it's the Extraterrestrial Evil God, the Extraterrestrial Evil God—"

Elder Liao An's voice trembled beside him, instantly shattering 'Qu Zhuang''s psychological defense line.

That's right.

It was the Extraterrestrial Evil God.

This ancient tree was extremely similar to the Extraterrestrial Evil God outside the world on the Evil God Battlefield.

Shape, appearance, aura. It was simply a smaller-sized Ancestral Demon Tree.

Only

how could this be possible?

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang''s Soul couldn't help trembling.

If what they saw was the Extraterrestrial Evil God, then what was the Ancestral Demon Tree that single-handedly dragged the entire Azure Sky World into the quagmire of war outside the world?

He had endured all kinds of hardships and fought desperately on the Evil God Battlefield, wanting to block the Extraterrestrial Evil God outside the world and strive for a living environment for all living beings within the world.

Yet turning around, the Extraterrestrial Evil God had long since entered the Azure Sky World?

For a moment, the thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' felt utterly disheartened. At this very moment, he vaguely realized that the Azure Sky World was shrouded in a sheet of despair.

"Extraterrestrial Evil God."

"No, you are definitely not the Extraterrestrial Evil God."

"At least not the true body of the Extraterrestrial Evil God descending."

Just as 'Qu Zhuang' was in total despair, Elder Liao An beside him suddenly stood up, staring dead at the ancient tree being worshipped by the seven Demon Beast Kings.

As soon as Elder Liao An finished speaking, the seven Demon Beast Kings in the distance glanced at him.

Terrifying pressure descended, but Elder Liao An still insisted on standing, even though his legs trembled.

After a long time,

a massive mental fluctuation

emanated from that ancient tree.

"What makes you say that?"

Lin Yuan looked down at Elder Liao An and 'Qu Zhuang' with great interest and said.

Ever since descending into this world, Lin Yuan had at most eavesdropped on the communication between human cultivators.

He had never actually had contact with human cultivators.

First, he was worried about exposing flaws. Compared to Yao Beasts, humans were much smarter. Before his strength was invincible in the world, it was natural to have less contact with these intelligent creatures.

Second, there was no such necessity. Whatever Lin Yuan wanted to know, he could just search their Souls in secret; there was no need for direct communication.

What makes you say that?

Hearing Lin Yuan's reply, Elder Liao An's scalp exploded once again. At this moment, he was certain that this smaller-sized Ancestral Demon Tree before his eyes possessed a concrete consciousness.

"If you were the true body of the Extraterrestrial Evil God, you wouldn't need to hide inside the Black Mist Mountains and could have attacked long ago. Why bother fighting to the death with our Azure Sky Alliance outside?"

Elder Liao An took a deep breath.

"And you'd better let us go right now."

"Both of us are Elders of the Azure Sky Alliance with high and mighty positions. This time coming to the Black Mist Mountains is to command the Demon Beast Kings. If we don't return for a long time, it will inevitably arouse investigation by other Alliance Experts, and after a long time—"

Elder Liao An spoke eloquently, analyzing the pros and cons to Lin Yuan.

"Lastly, although I don't know what relationship you have with that Extraterrestrial Evil God, as long as you join forces with our Azure Sky Alliance, once that Extraterrestrial Evil God is resolved, I will definitely beg the Alliance Leader to spare your life."

Elder Liao An slowly said.

Everything he was saying now was based on his own guesses.

That was, the ancient tree before him was not that Extraterrestrial Evil God outside the world.

Or rather, it was not of one mind with that Extraterrestrial Evil God.

Elder Liao An still had a basis for this conclusion, which was that he and 'Qu Zhuang' did not die immediately.

If facing the real Extraterrestrial Evil God, the two of them would not even have had the chance to wake up, let alone negotiate terms here?

The true Extraterrestrial Evil God was evil and terrifying; weaklings like them couldn't even speak a word at all.

After Elder Liao An finished speaking, he quietly waited.

The thin Elder 'Qu Zhuang' beside him did the same.

There was no help for it. Regardless of whether Lin Yuan was the Extraterrestrial Evil God or not, their lives were currently held in the other party's hands.

Even if Elder Liao An was eloquent, what if Lin Yuan simply wanted to kill them—

the two of them would have no way out at all.

Even if Azure Sky Alliance Experts killed their way over afterward to avenge them, being dead meant being dead.

Time slowly passed.

Elder Liao An and Qu Zhuang tremblingly awaited the judgment from Lin Yuan.
