Chapter 474: Lord of the Evil Demons, Kong Becomes an Ancient Emperor

One of the figures spoke.

"Little friend, our mission is complete."

"The rest is up to you."

"Remember, the strength of the Lord of the Outer Domain Evil Demons is terrifying beyond imagination."

"If you wish to contend with him, you must first break through to the Immortal Emperor realm and gather all eight Inscriptions."

"Otherwise, it is all empty talk."

The other figure continued, "Also, the Evil Demon Clan's Fallen Emperor Army project must not be allowed to succeed."

"Once it succeeds, not only the entire Spirit Realm, but the Myriad Realms of the Heavens will fall into a place of eternal damnation."

Zhou Chen nodded solemnly and said, "This Junior understands."

"Very good."

"Little fellow, you should know me. My name is Kong."

"Well then, farewell."

Zhou Chen suddenly recalled that Kong who had once appeared on the Chaos Immortal Tablet, that ancient Prodigy who had once fought him for countless rounds.

Kong had actually eventually become an Immortal Emperor.

Before Zhou Chen could reply, countless figures showed gratified smiles.

"The Qi of the Heavens is vast; my Dao prospers daily."

Every figure of an Immortal Emperor who had once reigned supreme turned into points of starlight and dissipated in the air.

Zhou Chen stood in place, took a deep breath, and remained silent for a long time.

He had a premonition that the road ahead would likely become increasingly perilous.

However, Zhou Chen was not afraid.

Since he had chosen this path, he would walk it to the end.

Countless Immortal Emperors were not afraid; what did it matter if he, a mere Immortal King, died?

Actually, as long as he could scrape by, he still wanted to live well.

If it weren't for that world-destroying giant hand being too overbearing and affecting him, Zhou Chen wouldn't even bother to interfere.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen turned around and activated his light escape, flying toward the exit of the Origin space.

When Zhou Chen left the Origin space, the scene before him had already changed drastically.

The sky of the Barbaric Graveyard was no longer a hazy gray, but had turned an eerie blood-red.

The air was filled with dense Evil Demon Qi, at least ten times thicker than before.

In the distance, countless vengeful spirits were howling.

Their auras were several times stronger than before, clearly influenced by the Evil Demon Qi.

Zhou Chen's Divine Sense swept across the surroundings, his brows furrowing tightly.

The entire Barbaric Graveyard was trembling, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Could it be an Evil Demon riot?"

He muttered to himself.

Just then, the voice of the Tomb-Guarding Elder came from the void.

"Everyone, leave the Barbaric Graveyard immediately!"

"The Evil Demons are rioting; this place is about to collapse!"

"If you do not leave, death is certain!"

The voice was filled with urgency, echoing throughout the Barbaric Graveyard.

Countless Cultivators heard this voice and activated their light escapes one after another, flying toward the exit.

However, there were also some Cultivators whose greed was insatiable, still searching for treasures in the ruins.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate; his figure flashed as he flew toward the exit.

He had just flown tens of thousands of miles when a loud bang came from behind him.

Boom!

A massive crack tore open from beneath the ground.

From the crack, countless plumes of black Qi surged out.

The black Qi transformed into Evil Demon figures, emitting terrifying auras.

The strength of these Evil Demons was at least at the Fifth Layer Immortal King Realm.

There were even a few that had reached the Ninth Layer of the Immortal King Realm.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Chen's expression changed.

He pushed his light escape to its extreme speed.

Behind him, the terrified screams of countless Cultivators rose and fell.

Those greedy Cultivators were instantly torn to pieces by the Evil Demons.

Blood stained the earth red.

Without looking back, Zhou Chen activated the Space-Time Law.

The void instantly distorted, and his speed increased once again.

Ahead, the light gate had already appeared in his sight.

However, the light gate was slowly closing.

Clearly, the Tomb-Guarding Clan intended to Seal the Barbaric Graveyard and trap the Evil Demons inside.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and activated all the Immortal Spiritual Power in his body.

His speed reached its limit, turning into a streak of light as he charged toward the light gate.

Behind him, several Eighth Layer of Immortal King Realm Evil Demons were in hot pursuit.

They let out ear-piercing shrieks and raised their hands to strike out countless palm prints.

The palm prints whistled through the air, containing terrifying Evil Demon Power.

Zhou Chen activated the chaos bell.

The bell's body instantly expanded, blocking his rear.

Boom boom boom!

The palm prints slammed into the chaos bell, producing earth-shaking booms.

The chaos bell trembled violently, but it still steadily blocked the attacks.

Zhou Chen took the opportunity to accelerate and instantly rushed into the light gate.

The moment he rushed into the light gate, it slammed shut.

Several Evil Demons crashed into the light gate, letting out shrill cries of pain.

The Inscriptions on the light gate lit up, blasting them away.

Zhou Chen only felt his vision go dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Chaotic Demon Sea.

He landed on the sea surface, gasping for breath.

The scene just now was truly too perilous.

If he had been a breath slower, he would likely have been trapped in the Barbaric Graveyard.

Zhou Chen looked up toward the distant sky.

The entrance to the Barbaric Graveyard had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

However, Zhou Chen knew that the Barbaric Graveyard had not disappeared.

It had simply been re-sealed by the Tomb-Guarding Clan.

The next time it opened would likely be tens of thousands of years later.

Zhou Chen withdrew his gaze and swept his Divine Sense through the System space.

This trip to the Barbaric Graveyard had been quite fruitful.

Not only had he obtained the inscription of kun, but he had also received the Legacies of several ancient Immortal Emperors.

More importantly, his strength had increased once again.

With a cultivation at the Fifth Layer Immortal King Realm, coupled with the chaos bell and the qingping sword, he would have the power to fight even if he encountered a Tenth Layer Immortal King Realm expert.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and activated his light escape, flying toward Black Tide Island.

Half a day later.

Zhou Chen returned to Black Tide Island and went straight back to his Immortal Cave.

He sat down cross-legged and began to digest his gains from this period.

The Legacies of several ancient Immortal Emperors contained countless profound insights into dao principles.

Zhou Chen closed his eyes, and his Divine Sense sank into his mind.

Time passed minute by minute.

Three days later.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them.

At this moment, his understanding of dao principles had reached an unprecedented height.

In particular, he had made a Breakthrough in his progress with the Five Elements dao principles.

He raised his hand and gave a wave.

Five rays of light flew out from his fingertips, colored gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The five rays of light intertwined in the air, eventually fusing into a single Chaos-colored light.

"The Five Elements return to one, transforming into Chaos."

Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

He withdrew his hand, his eyes full of joy.

His insights into the Five Elements dao principles had increased his strength once again.

If he encountered those three Eighth Layer Immortal King Realm Demon Sovereigns again, he was confident he could slay them within ten moves.

Zhou Chen stood up and swept his Divine Sense outside the Immortal Cave.

Xing Chen was standing at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, seemingly waiting for him.

Zhou Chen waved his hand, and the Restriction on the Immortal Cave opened.

"Come in."

Xing Chen pushed the door open and entered, cupping his hands. "Senior Lin, you have finally emerged from seclusion."

Zhou Chen nodded. "Is something the matter?"

Xing Chen pondered for a moment before speaking. "Senior, this Junior has a request."

"Speak."

Xing Chen took a deep breath and said, "This Junior wishes to follow Senior to the Eastern Domain Divine Continent."

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Eastern Domain Divine Continent?"

Xing Chen nodded. "That is correct."

"This Junior has heard that the Eastern Domain Divine Continent is about to hold the once-in-a-millennium Ascension Conference."

"Those who pass can enter the Spirit Realm's top power, the Xuantian Sect. It is rumored that there are Immortal Emperor experts presiding within the Xuantian Sect."

"This Junior wishes to go and try."

Zhou Chen fell silent for a moment.

He hadn't expected Xing Chen to have this idea.

But thinking about it carefully, it was quite normal.
