Chapter 1151: Chapter 1129: Battle in the Hollow Void, Reunion with the Witch!

The Human Race’s taboo, breaking through the restrictions of heaven in the Hollow Void World, allowed the infusion of nine laws into the Martial Soul, advancing against the current to the Fourth Heavenly Layer as a King, shaking all the heavens and myriad realms, and the five expansive lands of the Human Realm.

As soon as the news came out, every realm of the heavens went silent, as it was simply defying the heavens. It had not been long since the ascent to the forbidden realm, and yet there was such a rash advancement.

The key point was, the advancement was successful!

The Eastern Wasteland Southern Region Void Battlefield.

That day, a world-shattering great war involving nearly twenty Kings had come to an end. After years of fierce battles, the Demon Clan, Scorpion Clan, Sacred Beast Tribe, and Blood Clan—a combined force of hundreds of millions of War Masters—pushed the front lines across a million miles, right up to the doorstep of the Human Race’s Hollow Void Great Wall.

Yet in the end, it was all for naught. Warfare relied on both strength and luck, and no one could have foreseen such a bloody war concluding in this manner.

Xiao Chen’s meteoric rise unleashed a world-shaking thunder tribulation that completely overturned the warriors of the four clans.

Seizing such a golden opportunity, the Human Race naturally would not let it slip by. The elite War Masters of the King Chiwen Troop, who had previously refrained from taking action, launched a full-frontal assault, reversing the decline on the Southern Battlefield.

The battle situation was once again restored to the initial state of the war. However, this time, aside from the Demon Clan, the loss of tens of millions of warriors greatly crippled the other three clans, leaving them no strength to launch further attacks.

Soon, another piece of news drew the attention of all the heavens and myriad realms.

The Emperor Sacred Beast, recalling the remaining clan soldiers from the Eastern Wasteland South Region Void Battlefield and summoning the Sacred Beast Tribe Warriors who were traveling abroad, was declaring the sealing of their realm.

Upon the announcement, a hundred clans were shocked, as the Sacred Beast Tribe directly withdrew the remaining millions of their War Masters from the battlefield. For the Eastern Wasteland Southern Region Void Battlefield, it was another blow to morale, and no one was more infuriated than the Demon Clan.

The Sacred Beast Tribe had always revered the Demon Clan, and yet this time they forsook the Demons, sealing off their realm for recuperation. Clearly, the losses suffered during this campaign against the Human Race were grievous, necessitating a closure for recovery and propagation.

Given the close connections between the myriad realms, the actions of the Sacred Beast Tribe inevitably led to the most shocking news for all the heavens and the Hundred Clans.

The newly ascended Human King entered the Beast Underworld and managed to force the Azure King to death, striking down the Black Fox King, drawing out the Emperor Sacred Beast, and finally causing the intervention of a venerable God King from the Divine Marquis Palace, after which he left unscathed.

There was also a covert piece of news, saying that a God King of the Human Race battled the Emperor of the Sacred Beast Tribe. However, the outcome remained unknown to all. It was after this great battle that the Sacred Beast Tribe withdrew its remaining soldiers from the Hollow Void Battlefield and proclaimed to all the heavens their realm’s sealing.

...

However, all of this was of no concern whatsoever to Xiao Chen. He followed King Long Deng to the Eastern Emperor Domain to meet with the one beneath the Eastern Emperor Crown.

I remember not long ago, the Eastern Emperor and the Sun-slaying God King told him to ascend to the Supreme within a hundred years, yet he shortened this time by a hundredfold, which was truly sigh-inducing.

Of course, although he had crossed four Heavenly Layers in one stroke, and was even more powerful than the Eastern Emperor had been in his prime, Xiao Chen still hadn’t fully grasped the realm of a King.

He needed to thoroughly go over his War Body, laws, and Small World, among other aspects. After ascending to the realm of a King, the practice of Martial Arts had changed for him. Even the Dao teachings he had cultivated in the past had changed, and all these required his contemplation.

Yet, being in the Fourth Heavenly Layer already turned Xiao Chen from a chess piece into a chess player. Although he was just a marginal figure in charge, this enabled him to delve into some of the hidden secrets of the Human Race.

For instance, during his visit to the Eastern Emperor, he received tacit approval that if the Gu Yuan Tribe were to ascend to a King-level Tribe, the Human Race Territories it would occupy could match those once held by the Purple Gold King Tribe.

This was significant; when the Purple Gold Tribe had established its King-level status, the tribe’s dominion had spanned nine domains. At its zenith, it even made fifteen Human Territories bow down. How much territory they could occupy would depend on just how powerful the Gu Yuan Tribe really was.

With the Eastern Emperor’s tacit consent, the Gu Yuan Tribe’s expansion received a form of authorization. In fact, with Xiao Chen’s current strength, the human territories near the Border Wasteland Region could easily be brought to heel with a single word.

In the Eastern Wasteland South Region, the four great King-level Tribes with the word "heaven" in their names were all situated in the northern part, demarcated by the Southern Domain Heaven Blade King-level Tribe.

To the south of the Southern Domain, and for tens of Human Territories since the disappearance of the Purple Gold King Tribe, the entire Southern Domain could be said to have lacked a King’s protection for tens of thousands of years. This very absence led to the tragedy of the Sacred Beast Tribe in the Border Wasteland a millennium ago.

If the Gu Yuan Tribe could successfully become a King-level Tribe, it would be a great boon for the dozens of Human Territories in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland South Region.

The Border Wasteland Region.

Today, the Border Wasteland was flourishing like the morning sun, brimming with vitality. Xiao Chen’s ascension to King had propelled the spirits of the hundreds of millions of clan members in the Border Wasteland Region to their peak—a grand sight to behold.

If a strong one were to stand atop the pinnacle of heaven and gaze down upon the Southern Domain Continent, they would discover that nestled within the southernmost corner of the Eastern Wasteland, a narrow region was enveloped in swirling Purple Qi, its splendor overshadowing all other regions.

This was a form of momentum.

The Gu Yuan Tribe.

It had already been more than three months since Xiao Chen returned to the Gu Yuan Tribe. The Void Battlefield situation in the Eastern Wasteland Southern Region had come to a resolution, seemingly drawing to a close. The news of the Sacred Beast Tribe’s realm sealing caught the Demon Clan completely off guard.

The Sacred Beast Tribe had complied with the Demon Clan’s command to seek trouble with Xiao Chen. In retaliation, Xiao Chen stormed into the Beast Underworld resulting in heavy losses for the realm.

Even though the Sacred Beast Tribe was a vassal to the Demon Clan, under such circumstances, if the ruling Demon Clan did nothing, their prestige would undoubtedly take a hit. After all, they were not the only race subordinate to the Demon Clan.

During the three months, Xiao Chen did not go into closed-door cultivation right away but merely healed his injuries completely, as he was waiting for the birth of his little treasure. If he couldn’t witness the arrival of the new life with his own eyes, his heart wouldn’t be at peace even in seclusion.

Similarly, the Jian Mu Divine Tree of the Gu Yuan Tribe seemed to be at a critical period; the once towering, ten-thousand-zhang tall tree had now withered to a mere thousand-zhang high trunk.

The twisted and wrinkled bark was layered upon each other, and the cracked crevices resembled grotesque gaping mouths. Even a slight touch would cause large pieces of bark to rustle and fall off.

Xiao Chen could feel a hint of undiminished spirituality struggling within the depths of the trunk, and he too was waiting for the Jian Mu to be reborn from the ashes.

In the Alchemy Room, now that he had ascended to the realm of the Supreme, Xiao Chen’s mastery over the Furnace Fire had become as easy as moving his own limbs. At present, he no longer needed Luli’s assistance in concocting Spiritual Pills below the level of a king.

Hum!

The Pill Furnace, enveloped in green flames, opened, and three crystal-clear pills exuding immense soul power flew out from within, caught in Xiao Chen’s hand.

These were Nine Turn Divine Soul Pills. They were of no use to Xiao Chen now, but for a half-king, especially a warrior with an unstable spirit, they were supreme miraculous elixirs.

After putting the Spiritual Pills into a Jade Bottle, Xiao Chen’s figure disappeared from the Alchemy Room.

...

Ten days later, City of All Beings.

A faint layer of green light enveloped Xiao Chen’s body, shrouding him and making it impossible for the passing warriors to discern his face.

Now having ascended to the status of a king, Xiao Chen observed the ancient city, which floated in the Hollow Void World, still unable to fathom its depths. The entire ancient city, under his perception, was enveloped by an invisible aura that prevented warriors from prying.

At this moment, the to-and-fro traffic of the Hundred Clans of Heaven within the ancient city was much less than before, with only scattered members of various clans coming and going.

He had breached the Sky Domain Continent, shattered The Blood Paths of Heaven, and even broken the covenant set by the Hundred Clans of yore in the Mountain of All Heavens. The vitality of the younger generation of the Hundred Clans was nearly crippled.

Throughout the Sky Domain Continent, the Human Race had the absolute upper hand over the Hundred Clans of Heaven. With the intervention of the Human Race’s upper echelons, they did not utterly obliterate them. After all, this place was meant to be a training ground, a battlefield for the younger generations of the Hundred Clans of Heaven. The Human Race too needed a place to temper their descendants.

Without hesitation, Xiao Chen once again entered the City of All Beings.

At night, Xiao Chen stood on top of a pavilion in the city, looking up at the aurora that spanned the Hollow Void above the Sky Vault. He did so for a full hour when a graceful black shadow entered the pavilion.

"Your Majesty!"

The graceful figure knelt down as if flowing water, her pretty face covered by Black Sand lifted, revealing a pair of moist eyes that could intoxicate anyone. Bathed in the aurora’s light, her face appeared almost holy, but a hint of seductive charm still radiated from her depths.

In silence, Xiao Chen looked up at the aurora of the Hollow Void, seemingly deep in thought, while the woman behind him quietly waited, showing no signs of impatience.

After a long while, Xiao Chen finally spoke, "Are your injuries healed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. After Your Majesty demonstrated Divine Might at the Mountain of All Heavens, this servant escaped and returned to the Demon World."

The witch’s face gleamed with a seductive light—not the garish red of blood, but a nuanced blend of celestial innocence and subtle coquetry that could drive countless people to insanity.

"You wish to seduce me!"

The next instant, the previously gentle light in Xiao Chen’s eyes turned into a splattering of murderous intent.

"No, no, this servant wouldn’t dare!"

In a flash, the witch felt as if she had fallen into the Nine Nether depths, with an endless chill rising from within her. In that moment, she realized anew that the young man before her had undergone an earth-shattering transformation since their last encounter at the Great Battle of the Mountain of All Heavens.

He was a king!

A king who had broken free from his shackles and ascended to the fourth heaven, and after his ascent, he had slaughtered two kings of the Sacred Beast Tribe, becoming an unsurpassed ferocious figure.

"It seems you are also ready to break your shackles and seek the realm of the Supreme," Xiao Chen said after a long time, his voice seeming to descend from the heavens, awakening the witch once more.

"Yes, if it weren’t for coming to see Your Majesty, this servant would have already begun her closed-death seclusion," she replied.

At that moment, a trace of sadness appeared in the witch’s eyes. For the Demon Clan, advancing to the status of a king was even more perilous compared to warriors of other clans. They were known for their boundless desires. As the saying goes, "Without desire one is firm," yet the demons are creatures of desire, of immense longing. Entering the path with such a desire meant that the heart demons would always be present, making it the greatest flaw in breaking through to the status of a king. Therefore, for the Demon Clan, ascending to the status of a king was akin to courting death.
