Chapter 1359: Chapter 1315: The Japanese Retreat, Xiao Chen Returns! (Making up for yesterday!)

The Sky Vault had completely vanished, the ancient lands of the Desolate Wilds and the Nine Nether had utterly disintegrated, as if provoking the wrath of ancient Sky Gods. A grand and ancient aura descended through time and space, clashing with the heavens full of thunder.

Purple lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the world. Almost in a blink, it blinded everyone, even those who were tens of thousands of miles away. Some of the human kings, under this formidable presence, also vomited blood.

Clang!

With the body of King Long Deng wrapped into it, the heart of Zhuan Lun King sank. This sudden change was out of his control; the ancient Desolate Wilds’ space-time shattered, space rifts intertwined, and purple lightning exploded like silver dragons.

The dark space rift seemed to engulf him, under such wild force, what happened to King Long Deng, who had entered the Nine Nether Underworld Realm!

And Xiao Chen, struck directly into the depths of the Earth by the violent forces, was also of unknown life or death.

What exactly happened that caused the powers of the ancient Desolate Wilds, through the old space-time, to strike back? Could it be that King Long Deng’s entry into the Nine Nether Underworld had been detected by the Nine Nether’s will? The face of Zhuan Lun King turned bleak and uncertain.

However, he could never have imagined that this turmoil was all due to Xiao Chen’s own making, as he had entered an ancient Dragon King’s palace in the Desolate Wilds.

Above the Earth, underground lava surged thousands of feet high, igniting the air, and a grand dragon of flames directly tore through the sky vault.

And on the great land where bubbling lava surged outward, there was a bottomless pit surrounded by fire rifts which stretched out toward the eight directions from the west.

Deep beneath the ground, rivers of blazing magma flowed fiercely. When Xiao Chen landed, he directly broke through the river of magma, and amid the sea of flames, a nine-colored figure waded through the magma.

Accompanied by breaths like thunder, a fiery dragon of flames coiled around Xiao Chen, the rich scent of sulfur permeating the air.

Hiss!

A sigh of pain rose as Xiao Chen felt a throbbing pain in every part of his body; his flesh was torn, and even his spirit was shaken.

The strike from Jiao Tu Dragon King across time and space left him completely without any power to fight back and deeply injured.

However, he sensed that Jiao Tu Dragon King harbored not much ill will; it seemed like he just wanted to send him back from ancient times, though the method was undoubtedly crude.

Yet, a bigger mystery emerged in his heart; he was certain that it was Jiao Tu Dragon King’s doing that little Jiao Tu had entered the Sea of Suffering World, and that Jiao Tu Dragon King had, in fact, calculated everything across endless time and space.

He first entered the mysterious Sea of Suffering World, rescued little Jiao Tu’s spirit, and then from the ancient Desolate Wilds’ time-space encountered little Jiao Tu’s true body.

Although trapped in the Sea of Suffering for endless years, Jiao Tu narrowly escaped annihilation in that age of silent gods.

Such grand scheming, how vast the divine power involved!

And more!

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen seemed to forget the pain in his body; he remembered the mysterious figure he had seen through Jiao Tu Dragon King.

That presence arose boundless hostility in him; despite being separated by ancient space-time, he felt distinctly that it was an eternal great enemy. There was an uncrossable gulf between the two.

Who could it be!

He was certain that this figure was not from any of the races of the Hundred Clans of Heaven; although both the Hundred Clans and the Human Clan equally repelled each other, that mysterious figure gave him a feeling of facing a formidable enemy!

Moreover, if the Hundred Clans were born after the deities, how could they stand against the deities!

It was fundamentally a repulsion at the source of life, just like the life imprint in his Small World differed from the life imprint on the Desolate Land. Although both were life, they belonged to different worlds!

Wait!

Different sources of worlds!

Could there be other worlds besides this heaven and earth!

At this moment, Xiao Chen was shocked, everything was too chaotic!

Not right!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen shook his head, he felt in a daze that he had perceived it wrong, but in his mind, there was a memorable Scroll of Paintings, that was when Jiao Tu Dragon King had thrust him back to reality.

That mysterious divine figure had merely struck once, causing Jiao Tu Dragon King to manifest his true body, divine blood bursting in the sky vault!

What a terrifying scene it was, with no grandiose might, that one strike was like an ordinary hit, condensing all its power into a terrifying realm.

Breaking through time and space, returning to ancient times, to restart the divine battle!

Whether it was the earlier encountered Desolate God or the later Jiao Tu Dragon King, they all implied the same, obviously holding great secrets.

However, pulling back Jiao Tu’s Divine Body from the ancient Desolate Wilds era, which was a true divine beast, might have a profound impact on the years to come!

Whir! Whir! Whir!

Suddenly, inside Xiao Chen’s body, streams of warmth rose, moistening his flesh like parched soil, his body’s flesh began to slowly heal, the nine-color divine power surged like a tide, insulating against the rolling magma.

...

Outside, the ancient space-time was shattered, those ejected were not only Xiao Chen, who had entered the Nine Nether Underworld Realm but also the ghostly Gui Tianquan, who was similarly expelled!

Whir!

Two balls of black fog burst out directly from the silver lightning.

One headed toward Zhuan Lun King and exploded midair, transforming into a fleeting Undying Martial Soul; however, at this moment, the Martial Soul seemed very vague, like a faint shadow that seemed to disperse at the mere touch of wind.

"God King!"

Upon seeing this scene, the crowd cried out in alarm, protecting the Martial Soul of King Long Deng.

On the other side, a burst of Black Mist exploded as well, revealing the figure of Gui Tianquan, whose energy was equally diminished. Without any hesitation, he exploded again.

At this moment, the Void Imprisonment at the peak of Sky Vault had already shattered. Even the Mountains and Rivers Cover that protected Xiao Chen was blown away and fell to the Earth, turning into myriad Ghost Shadows as Gui Tianquan fled in all directions.

"Damn it!"

"Don’t let him escape, he’s already severely injured!"

Immediately, the Human Kings took action, the boundless divine light illuminating the Void in an instant. One after another, Ghost Shadows were burst apart, but they still could not prevent a large number of Ghost Shadows from disappearing into the depths of the Endless Starry Sky.

"Stop."

At last, King Long Deng, whose Martial Soul had returned to its place, spoke up. At this moment, his momentum had fallen greatly, and even his body was somewhat unsteady.

"Zhuan Lun, let him leave."

What!

For the words of King Long Deng, other kings of the Human Race were shocked, especially the two Execution Kings and the Destroyer Envoy. Their goal was to capture Gui Tianquan.

Seeing Zhuan Lun looking over, King Long Deng spoke, "I will explain this matter to the Human Emperor."

Hearing this, Zhuan Lun seemed to think of something and then looked at King Long Deng once again.

Seeing King Long Deng nod, Zhuan Lun’s expression suddenly became grave.

It seemed that the worst outcome had indeed occurred—the predictions of several Emperors were correct. That ghostly entity was still present; no wonder the will of the Nine Netherworld Realm had become so violent over the ages, that even the Imperial Rulers of the Human Race could not step into the depths of Nine Nether.

If that ghostly entity was still there, then Gui Tianquan’s resolve to return to the Nine Nether Underworld Realm meant that leaving him be would be more beneficial than capturing him.

"Alright, once we return to the Central Lands, I will personally report to the Ancient Emperor!"

Suddenly, Zhuan Lun no longer dwelled on this and spoke out.

"How is the Holy Son?"

The next moment, some Human Kings caught on.

They had just seen the ancient Desolate Land begin to break apart from within, followed by a backlash from the Heavenly Order, and Xiao Chen, who was also in the center of this immense power collision, what had become of him!

"I’m fine."

With a voice sounding, a nine-colored figure burst from the Blazing Magma. After briefly patching up his injuries, Xiao Chen emerged from the underground lava.

Feeling the power continuously surging within Xiao Chen, everyone understood it clearly couldn’t be as easy as he had said.

Xiao Chen, now back above the Void, looked down at the land below, which had already turned into ruins, a bitter smile emerging from the corners of his mouth.

The people of his tribe had shed blood, and the mountains and rivers were shattered—an explanation was owed by Xiao Chen, the sovereign of the land!

He was the Human King, the king of the Human Tribe!

To suppress ten thousand miles of Mountains and Rivers, to rule over a trillion tribe members, it was the duty of the Human King.

"Alright, although the situation developed suddenly this time, it has still ended successfully. The losses suffered by the Gu Yuan King’s Department, the Human Emperor’s Palace will allocate solace compensation."

Suddenly, the voice of King Long Deng rang out.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. The resources allocated by the Human Emperor’s Palace would certainly not be scant, and together with a portion from the Gu Yuan King’s Department, it would also serve as compensation for the subjected populace.

The only pity was that the Border Wasteland City, a city standing since ancient times in Border Wasteland, had not survived the war and had once again been turned into ruins. Massive Great Rifts crisscrossed and overlapped, and even the city walls of the Gu Yuan Tribe were also severely damaged.

In merely a hundred years, Gu Yuan King City had been destroyed twice, a likelihood that truly brought a bitter smile.

"We need to hurry back to report our duties, and if you have a chance to come to the Divine Marquis Palace, the Palace Master would like to meet you."

Suddenly, King Long Deng spoke again.

Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, Zhuan Lun, along with the other inspectors, waved their hands.

"No need for more words. Inspectors of the Human Realm, cleansing evil and punishing demons, and defending the tribe’s homeland is our duty."

Even those like the Destroyer Envoy, who had lost his Small World for Xiao Chen, were very straightforward.

"The grace of your rescue, Xiao Mou will never forget."

Xiao Chen bowed respectfully. The next moment, King Long Deng and the inspectors turned into flowing light and headed into the distance.

Only other Human Kings were left in the original place, and Xiao Chen had seen them take action earlier.

"Fellow brothers, please come to Gu Yuan for a reunion. Heal your injuries well, and all that is needed will not be in shortage at Gu Yuan."

Speaking to this point, Xiao Chen paused. The other kings were fine, but Fierce Sun King, who had exploded his King Body to save him and only left the Undying Martial Soul, posed a difficult situation. The life-saving grace was immensely significant.

"Do not worry, Holy Son. Fierce Sun has no regrets about his actions. However, it seems that even without Fierce Sun, Holy Son would have turned danger into safety."

It was Fierce Sun King who spoke.

"Fierce Sun Brother, Xiao Mou is not someone heartless and ungrateful. I will definitely find a suitable body to bestow for you."

The next moment, Xiao Chen spoke earnestly.
