Chapter 549: Chapter 424 Effective Reasons_1

Qi Xiangyun swiftly announced the news of the migration, which caused an uproar among the people of Qi Family Town. With the alien demons causing chaos, many preferred the stability of their current location over undertaking any migration.

Moreover, the destination this time was in Dusk Territory, a journey far and arduous. What if something unexpected happened?

Many people were worried about this.

However, Qi Xiangyun was resolute in carrying out the migration. Although Qi Family Town was once her home, migration was necessary for its growth. The human race was too sparsely populated in this world.

Many future developments would revolve around Dusk Territory. The distance from here to Dusk Territory was too great; it was not an issue when the population was flourishing, but now things were different.

Hell’s Well.

Zheng Yichen looked around at the desolate environment, which was becoming as barren as Hell itself; under the influence of less than a month, the situation had become this severe, even with the Formation’s barrier. Without it, Qi Family Town would have already encountered numerous problems.

Yi Nan, examining the Compass placed above Hell’s Well, said, "During this time, the Supreme Demon has surreptitiously interfered no less than ten times, but the Compass always provided timely warnings."

"We won’t be needing it anymore, take it down."

Yi Nan nodded in agreement; removing the device was not his responsibility. Zheng Yichen approached, used his fishing rod to extinguish the Hellfire, and withdrew the Key of Hell that was planted in the ground. The protection surrounding Qi Family Town disappeared immediately.

Some of the Supreme Demons who were monitoring Qi Family Town were taken aback.

In the time since Zheng Yichen had left, they had attempted to strike at Qi Family Town many times, but each attempt ended in failure without exception.

The power of the Compass was a significant deterrent to them; while it could not kill them outright, it was effective for protection. With it, the Supreme Demons lacked a feasible method to penetrate their defenses, as any infiltration would be detected by the Compass.

Now that Zheng Yichen had returned and dismantled the town’s defenses... was there an opening for manipulation?

The migration of Qi Family Town encountered even greater resistance.

"Brother Chang Qing, should we kill them?" Liu Hongzhao eyed some of the assembly that was protesting, her eyes narrowing slightly. Such occurrences were unheard of before; they only emerged after the protective barrier generated by the Compass disappeared.

She was extremely sensitive to the Supreme Demon’s power and perceived some bewitching power belonging to them, especially in the leaders of the protesters. Perhaps those individuals were not even aware they were being beguiled by the power of the Supreme Demon, thinking they were doing something justified and noble.

In dealing with these people, Liu Hongzhao found it hard to be sympathetic, even though they seemed to be victims as well.

"Don’t be so agitated; after a while, they won’t be able to stir up trouble," Zheng Yichen soothed, stroking Liu Hongzhao’s long hair gently. The girl uttered a barely perceptible hum in agreement, inching closer to Zheng Yichen.

The resistance in Qi Family Town was strong, but it was just noise; the necessary preparations never ceased. Everything that could be taken from Qi Family Town was packed up and ready for transport; that which couldn’t be moved was left behind.

Mechanical Techniques proved extremely convenient for transport. There had previously been plans for a migration from Qi Family Town, but resistance had caused a failure, leading to the town’s eventual destruction at the hands of the Asura Demon.

Though history wouldn’t repeat itself, Qi Xiangyun did not want to change her plans due to these obstacles, as it had happened before.

The initial migration plans for Qi Family Town were halted, but some preparations were preserved. Qi Xiangyun now picked up where they left off, ensuring that, if not everything, then at least the most important things would be taken.

The items that couldn’t be taken were mostly furnaces and the like.

"Xiangyun, continue with the migration preparations. I’m going to Hell," Zheng Yichen declared, withdrawing his fishing rod and making a swipe through the air next to him.

With the Compass, finding the Supreme Demon in Hell was not difficult. By the time the demons realized something was amiss, Zheng Yichen had already located them. Instead of fleeing, the two allied Supreme Demons attacked him outright.

As soon as the battle commenced, Zheng Yichen sensed something was off; these two Supreme Demons were too powerful.

"What have you done?" he asked incredulously after fending off an attack from one of the Supreme Demons.

The Supreme Demon pressing Zheng Yichen snarled without explanation, only intensifying its assault, its counterpart harmoniously joining the attack in an attempt to completely obliterate Zheng Yichen. However, as the battle progressed, they too realized something was amiss.

It seemed they had the upper hand, but they were still missing something in every clash.

The two Supreme Demons exchanged glances and immediately decided to escape; the situation felt wrong. They had paid a significant ’price’ to return to their prime while Zheng Yichen was away.

And the cost of such power struggles was a sharp decrease in the number of Supreme Demons, with victors regaining their full glory and losers entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Some Supreme Demons tried to find anomalies and abandon their identity to leave this world, but there were very few who succeeded.

Not all Supreme Demons wanted to leave; those who intended to abandon their Supreme Demon status became their primary targets.

"Think of leaving now? Too late!" Zheng Yichen’s surrounding space slightly distorted, and within that distortion, his speed suddenly increased. The Army Decimating battle saber cleaved through a Supreme Demon’s defense, and the black spear pierced through it.

A gust of wind, carrying spatial distortion, tore the Supreme Demon’s body apart from the inside, a large amount of Supreme Demon Blood was drawn out, and the Power of Death firmly bound the Supreme Demon’s Soul. Zheng Yichen released the black spear in his hand, intercepting another panic-stricken Supreme Demon trying to flee.

"Damn it... If you would be a Supreme Demon, we would hold you in high regard. Why must you oppose us!!"

The Supreme Demon that Zheng Yichen had intercepted questioned him unwillingly. It glanced at its kin, nailed to the ground by the black spear; the Power of Death kept that Supreme Demon’s soul from breaking free and was rapidly weakening it.

"Because I am human."

The trapped Supreme Demon roared and revealed its true form, which was a huge... porcupine? It seemed to be a creature similar to a pig.

In this world, it wasn’t that Supreme Demons resembled certain animals but rather that those animals resembled Supreme Demons. As for other worlds, that’s another story; but in this one, that’s the sequence of events.

Numerous arrows shot towards Zheng Yichen. Each arrow that hit the ground caused a violent explosion. The arrows headed toward him were sliced in two directly by the Army Decimating battle saber.

A bloody saber light struck the Supreme Demon on the head, the heavily injured Supreme Demon crazily released all its spikes. The spikes flew around Zheng Yichen, formed into a sphere, and then exploded. Countless fine spikes engulfed Zheng Yichen.

A shield made of light formed a protective barrier around him, the fine spikes clinked upon contact with the light shield. After shattering, the spikes broke down into even finer shards that fluttered in the air but did not completely disappear.

A gust of wind arose, sweeping up all the broken spikes. Zheng Yichen glanced at the fine spikes inside the sphere of wind; those things, now as soft as hair, could be inhaled with a single breath...

A malicious attack.

The shape of the light shield around him transformed, evolving into a more lethal Black Light. Zheng Yichen did not frequently use his Light-type abilities, not because they were weak, but because he was a warrior for most of the time.

Activating Burst Mode and hammering the enemy was enough, but now that he had ample advantage in battle, using other powers for a change was also feasible.

Moreover, after cutting down the Arriver that descended upon Ming Yue, his Light-type abilities had undergone a new change: the light he emitted could materialize. Materialized light could accumulate more power instead of exploding when exceeding the control limit, as it used to.

The materialized light could withstand limits tenfold what they once were and could be further enhanced once he became more familiar with this power.

The black materialized Light Blade connected to the Army Decimating battle saber became an extension of the cutting force field, a more efficient method than the inner strength-derived Light Blades.

The bald Supreme Demon roared as its body was bisected by the black light blade. As it was about to die, the Supreme Demon revealed a triumphant look, knowing it wouldn’t truly die. Since Zheng Yichen had used the black spear on another Supreme Demon, it couldn’t restrict its soul.

As long as the Supreme Demon’s Soul could escape or enter the cycle of reincarnation, it would unhesitatingly choose to seek an anomaly and completely leave this world!!

This being, not a Supreme Demon but stronger than one, was no longer something they could provoke.

During the battle with Zheng Yichen, it had already used all its power. Although it was not flashy, the use of power had reached its pinnacle. Unable to overpower Zheng Yichen, what was the point?

It was time to run away...

"Hm!?" The porcupine-like Supreme Demon’s eyes widened; it saw a cat filled with a curse aura pounce over, clamping onto its Supreme Demon’s Soul. The pain caused the Supreme Demon to scream, it wanted to flee but couldn’t escape the black cat’s claws.

"As expected..." Zheng Yichen nodded in understanding as he looked at the trapped Supreme Demon’s Soul. Although the Supreme Demon’s Souls were inherently immortal, when Zheng Yichen had previously dealt with one, he made a novel discovery.

The main reason the fishing rod could kill a Supreme Demon’s Soul wasn’t just because the weapon was enhanced with a branch from the Tree of Death, but more importantly, it was strengthened with the Sky Pillar’s power!

Equipment enhanced with Sky Pillar’s power allowed him to strike beings in the Unity of Heaven and Man. Supreme Demons could also be considered as passively protected by the world, or rather, their very existence was closely related to the world, in a special kind of passive ’Unity of Heaven and Man’.

However, this unity was passive and only covered immortality, and their ability to harness power seemed quite average.

A weapon that could strike the Unity of Heaven and Man was a threat to Supreme Demons. The cat spirit cloak was also enhanced with energy from the Dusk Territory; now, the cat spirit could directly threaten the soul of a Supreme Demon, devouring it whole.
