Chapter 404 The Crisis Ahead

"Centuries have passed, and they have completely controlled the demon continent. Their strength and foundation are terrifyingly powerful, and their influence has begun to spread towards the Star Continent."

"The other aspect of the crisis comes from beyond the realm."

"Ever since Emperor Zhou dragged three high-level demon emperors to their deaths, the remaining powerhouses of the Heavenly Demon Realm have never given up their intention to open a passage into this realm. With hundreds of years of repair and stabilization, the space outside the realm has initially stabilized."

"At first, they could only send cultivators at the Golden Core level into the Nine Hua Realm."

"Later, with some cost, even cultivators in the Manifestation Realm could be sent into the Nine Hua Realm in an endless stream!"

"This also poses a huge and direct threat to the descendants of the Zhou family!"

"Under these severe difficulties, the descendants of Emperor Zhou have been struggling to survive in the cracks. If it weren't for their clan's powerful talent and superior combat strength, they would have long perished under the waves of enemy attacks."

"And the greatest crisis does not come from these two aspects."

"Once the extraterrestrial space of the Nine Hua Realm is completely stabilized and the passage into the realm is fully opened, it is likely that what will enter the Nine Hua Realm will not be cultivators of the Manifestation Realm, but the true Demon Emperors of the Heavenly Demon Realm!"

"It is feared that by then, the bloodline of Emperor Zhou will be completely eradicated, and this Nine Hua Realm will suffer a devastating disaster."

"Thirty years ago, the awakening process of the Ten Thousand Burial Demon Emperor suddenly accelerated, and our clan's pressure increased dramatically. Since then, we have lost contact with the Star Continent. We don't know how things are going on over there now. I hope the descendants of Emperor Zhou can still hold on."

These Demon Suppressing Elders looked disheartened, shaking their heads and sighing.

A heavy gloom enveloped them.

It felt as if an invisible, immense pressure was crushing them, making it difficult to breathe.

Ling Fan remained silent.

A chill had been lingering around him.

"I must recover my strength as soon as possible, at least reach the Golden Core realm quickly! Otherwise, if the Demon Saints of the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Demon Saints of the Demon Continent launch a full-scale attack on Zhou Yun Chang's descendants, their strength alone will not be enough to withstand it!"

"Not to mention the Demon Emperors of the Heavenly Demon Realm lurking outside the realm..."

Ling Fan felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

This was a crisis of life and death.

Because once the crisis erupted, he might have a way to escape, but his friends, wife, family in the Nine Hua Realm, and the descendants of Zhou Yun Chang, his registered disciple in his previous life, would all suffer.

This was something he absolutely could not allow to happen!

"This is some cultivation resources, which should be enough for you to use temporarily. I suggest you make the Ten Thousand Burial Demon Abyss your clan's territory. The chaotic spiritual energy here is abundant, and with suitable cultivation techniques, it is no less than an ordinary sacred land for cultivation."

"You need to become stronger quickly. If you remain at the Core Condensation realm or even below, you won't be able to help the Zhou family!"

Ling Fan took out many storage spiritual artifacts. These were all from the Core Condensation realm powerhouses of the two regions he had killed.

They were already quite wealthy.

Furthermore, after scouring the Ten Thousand Burial Demon Abyss for nearly a month, he was practically swimming in riches.

"This... how can we accept this? We have already received too much kindness from you, we are simply unable to repay you, this..."

"Stop being so polite. If you truly feel embarrassed, then quickly strengthen yourselves. That is the best way to repay me."

Ling Fan said indifferently.

"Thank you, Young Master Ling! We will do our best!"

The elders of the Demon Suppressing clan were so excited that they could barely speak.

"Mm."

Ling Fan nodded faintly.

"You all go ahead with your business. I need to refine this demonic body."

"Yes!"

Just as these Demon Suppressing elders were about to leave, an arrogant voice suddenly came.

"Stop right there, don't go anywhere!"

The young sect master of the Heavenly Luo Sect, Luo Yun, swaggered in with a group of Heavenly Luo Sect powerhouses. In addition, over a hundred Core Condensation realm cultivators from the two regions followed behind them.

Luo Yun's eyes shot out with an incredibly greedy gleam, fixedly staring at the massive, headless demonic corpse floating in the void before Ling Fan.

This was the corpse of a Demon Emperor.

Although it was not a Demon Emperor in their prime, but only possessed power close to the quasi-saint level, even a quasi-saint demonic corpse was immeasurably valuable!

Especially Luo Yun's father, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Luo Sect, whose cultivation was precisely at the peak of the Golden Core realm, and he was worried about not being able to touch the threshold of the Manifestation Realm.

This quasi-saint level demonic corpse was extremely important to his father.

Therefore, Luo Yun had already made up his mind to obtain this demonic corpse by any means necessary!

Wei Bin rolled his eyes and said, "You still have the nerve to show up! If it weren't for you idiots being instigated by the Demon Emperor and madly attacking the Demon Hall, how would the Demon Emperor have escaped? You almost caused a world-ending disaster! And then you yourselves ran faster than rabbits. Do you have any conscience at all!"

Luo Yun glared at Wei Bin and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who said I was running? I was returning to the Heavenly Luo Sect to get reinforcements. My father is the Sect Master of the Heavenly Luo Sect, Luo Gang, a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core realm! As long as he makes a move, any Demon Emperor or Demon King will be dealt with!"

"That's right! Our Young Sect Master was just going back to get reinforcements. What do you know? Even without this fellow named Ling, once our Sect Master arrives, he can deal with this so-called Demon Emperor in an instant!"

The Heavenly Luo Sect powerhouses also began to puff up their chests.

"What the hell!"

Wei Bin was dumbfounded.

He truly did not expect a person could be as shameless as Luo Yun.

Causing trouble whenever he pleased.

Running away after causing trouble.

And then showing up to quibble after someone else had already resolved the issue.

Planning to shamelessly reap the fruits of victory.

Can you just be a decent human being, Luo Yun!

Wei Bin glared at Luo Yun with contempt.

Luo Yun sneered, "Wei Bin, I've noticed you're quite bold. Don't forget, your Wei Kingdom is still under the jurisdiction of our Heavenly Luo Sect! Do you believe I can cause your Wei Kingdom to be destroyed with just a word from me!"

"You!"

Wei Bin was furious.

However, due to his fear of the Heavenly Luo Sect, he dared not speak.

Seeing this, Luo Yun couldn't help but sneer triumphantly, "What so-called Crown Prince of Wei? Your Wei Kingdom is just a dog of our Heavenly Luo Sect, and you, a dog prince!"

"Hahaha! Our Young Sect Master is so humorous, what a dog prince! This fellow named Wei really has the look of a dog! Honestly be a lapdog for our Heavenly Luo Sect."

The Heavenly Luo Sect powerhouses burst into raucous laughter.

Wei Bin trembled with anger.

He felt a surge of hot blood rush into his chest, turning his face red!

"Heh, not convinced? Come and hit me? I'll stand right here and let you hit me, do you dare? If you don't dare, then get lost!"

Luo Yun kicked Wei Bin away.
