Chapter 430: The Demon Court's Retreat! Heading to the Jade Void Palace!

Chapter 430: The Demon Court's Retreat! Heading to the Jade Void Palace!

Boom!

The Demon Court, Jade Void Palace, and Azure Touring Palace!

These three palace-like cultivation grounds dominated the vast continent, resembling three colossal beings, covering the entire vast land beneath them.

Then, each of them emitted powerful auras, and as they violently clashed, the winds and clouds changed colors, the void shattered, and thunderclaps echoed endlessly.

An unprecedented oppressive atmosphere quickly spread throughout the heavens and earth.

All the various powers and countless living beings on the vast continent fell into unease.

Even the Buddhism of Holy Mountain remained absolutely silent at this moment.

After an unknown period of stalemate...

"How should we calculate the losses of the Demon Race?"

The dignified voice from the Demon Court echoed again.

Qin Zheng had almost annihilated five out of every ten Demon Court members in the northern region beyond the Celestial Dynasty, and by numbers, there were at least thousands of them!

Under such circumstances, even with the arrival of the Jade Void Palace and the Azure Touring Palace, resolving this matter would still come at a cost! Otherwise, as the Demon Court that dominated one extreme of the vast continent, if they simply conceded and accepted the loss, not only would they lose face, but how could they deter other petty beings in the future?

On this vast continent, there was also the Buddhism of Holy Mountain, the Human Celestial Dynasty, not to mention the Celestial Immortals above, and not just the Jade Void and Azure Touring Palaces!

"Losses?"

A light laughter came from the Azure Touring Palace.

Suddenly, a sharp intent emerged in the void between heaven and earth.

Then...

Boom!

A deafening thunderclap exploded.

The atmosphere instantly became stagnant!

The numerous powerful cultivators observing from the vast continent grew solemn.

Could it be that a great war was about to break out?!

The Demon Court, Jade Void Palace, and Azure Touring Palace.

These three powers all possessed the existence of Primordial Intention, and if they were to engage in a war, the entire vast continent would be plunged into chaos!

As the Azure Touring Palace's aura changed, cold snorts echoed within the Demon Court, and their aura shifted as well.

The stagnant atmosphere became dangerous.

Just as the battle was about to erupt...

Whoosh!

A radiant light shot out from the Jade Void Palace, and before the other cultivators could get a clear look, it instantly entered the Demon Court.

"We offer this item to compensate for the Demon Race's losses."

A calm voice sounded from within the Jade Void Palace.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from the Demon Court, seemingly dissatisfied, and they were about to speak again.

But before they could, a buzzing sound echoed from the Jade Void Palace, followed by a hazy immortal light that illuminated the entire vast continent.

At the same time, a heart-palpitating aura quickly spread throughout the heavens and earth.

"If you don't agree, then let's fight."

Another voice echoed from the Jade Void Palace.

This voice, besides being calm, carried a hint of deeply hidden impatience and killing intent.

At this moment, the Azure Touring Palace and the Jade Void Palace, the two great cultivation grounds, directly expressed their stance, leaving the choice to the Demon Court.

However, the Demon Court did not respond directly and instead fell silent.

After some time...

"Don't be too arrogant. You are not the real Jade Void Palace or Azure Touring Palace!"

A cold snort came from the Demon Court.

But as soon as these words were spoken, the Demon Court's shadow occupying the heavens disappeared at a visible speed.

The three powerful auras that had confronted each other in the heavens began to dissipate.

The standoff among these three major powers ended with the Demon Court's retreat, and a direct war did not break out.

After the Demon Court's retreat, the other two cultivation grounds' shadows that had dominated the heavens also disappeared.

On the vast continent, the tense atmosphere of confrontation dissipated.

This situation immediately relieved the countless powerful cultivators who had been closely watching the changes on the vast continent.

Then, these Great Transcendent powerhouses turned their attention to the origin of this conflict.

In no time, countless gazes from all over the vast continent focused on the Demon Land beyond the northern region of the Celestial Dynasty.

They wanted to see what had caused the Jade Void Palace and the Azure Touring Palace to descend.

Facing these gazes, Qin Zheng's thoughts stirred, and he activated the Ultimate Seal, causing a chaotic Dao essence to emerge and envelop his entire body.

The gazes that had fallen on him were instantly erased by the Ultimate Seal, preventing these cultivators from seeing him.

At this moment, a young man holding a whisk approached with a disdainful expression on his face.

"Do you still think that the Jade Void Palace fears your Demon Court now?"

He spoke in a cold tone.

On the ground, the Demon Race's body that had been blasted apart stared blankly at the sky, not responding.

It wasn't until the young man's shadow fell upon him that he snapped out of his daze and abruptly turned his gaze towards Qin Zheng not far away.

"Who are you?!"

The Demon Race man spoke with a hideous expression.

To be able to attract the descent of the Jade Void Palace and the Azure Touring Palace, even willing to go to war, and confront the Demon Court...

In this moment, even the Demonic Court chose to temporarily yield, leaving him as helpless as fish on a chopping board, unable to resist.

"Remember, don't provoke Jade Void Palace."

The youth spoke calmly once more.

The Demon Race giant was startled, his eyes widening.

The next instant, the youth casually tossed the giant's head, which was immediately caught by a black-toothed hand emerging from the void.

As ripples spread through the void, a youth clad in black-feathered dark robes appeared on the battlefield.

Holding the giant's head in one hand and a massive black tooth in the other, he swept his icy gaze over the youth and then turned to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng felt as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake.

"What are you looking at!"

"Leave now, or else!"

The youth frowned, his patience wearing thin, as he waved the whisk in his hand.

The whisk glowed with a pure light, attempting to cover the shadowy youth, but the black tooth in the youth's hand also emitted black light.

As the two lights collided, the youth grunted and blood oozed from his seven orifices.

He stopped staring at Qin Zheng and quickly turned to leave, stepping into the void.

"Hmph!"

The youth coldly snorted in disdain and turned to look at the elderly monk on the other side.

During the standoff between the two great Daoist sects and the Demonic Court, the Holy Mountain Buddhism had remained silent, and this elderly monk dared not move.

Now that the confrontation was over, and the youth turned his gaze towards him, the monk immediately clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra:

"Amitabha!"

The youth also spoke up, "Do you have anything to say?"

Perhaps they had wanted to say something, but after witnessing such a spectacle, the monk dared not speak.

He bowed to the youth and said with a kind smile, "I am Monk Du Hai, and I have come to retrieve my Holy Mountain disciple."

"Please, Senior Dong Lei, grant my request!"

The disciple he mentioned was the suffering journey saint, bound by the youth.

The youth glanced at the monk and then turned, gently waving his whisk towards the suffering journey saint.

The binding force that had held the saint captive instantly vanished.

But at this moment, the saint showed none of his previous rage and ferocity. Instead, he hung his head low and remained silent.

"You should thank Senior Dong Lei!" the monk said, his brows furrowing.

The suffering journey saint lifted his head and said to the youth, "Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!"

The youth raised his eyebrows and continued, "And then?"

Hearing this, the saint hesitated and then looked at Qin Zheng with a complex expression. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Senior, for not taking my life."

Qin Zheng nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

The suffering journey saint clasped his hands together and moved behind the monk.

The monk then turned to Qin Zheng, bowed slightly, and said, "My Holy Mountain disciple was impolite and disturbed you, Senior."

"Please accept this token of our gratitude from the Holy Mountain."

As he spoke, a golden light flew out from his palm.

It appeared before Qin Zheng, materializing into a relic radiating a rich Zen aura.

"A Bodhisattva relic?"

The youth's eyebrows rose in surprise, as if he hadn't expected this, and then he smiled lightly.

In the Great Dharmaraja Realm, a Buddhist practitioner could only be called an Arhat and could only form an Arhat relic.

Only those above the Great Dharmaraja Realm could be called Bodhisattvas and create Bodhisattva relics.

The elderly monk nodded and smiled apologetically at Qin Zheng, "After this incident, the Holy Mountain will punish the suffering journey saint with a thousand years of seclusion."

"Please don't hold a grudge against the Holy Mountain because of one person."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to another place where the release mundane heart, male was immersed in his inner self-realization.

A smile appeared in the monk's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he brought the release mundane heart, male behind him.

After bowing once more to the youth and Qin Zheng, he left with the suffering journey saint and the release mundane heart, male.

Qin Zheng saw the release mundane heart, male and his eyes flickered slightly, but he did not stop them.

The release mundane heart, male cultivated the Buddhist path, and Qin Zheng had no reason to interfere.

Qin Zheng reached out and took the Bodhisattva relic, placing it in his storage bag.

Then he turned to the youth holding the whisk and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your help this time, Senior!"

The youth shook his head, "There's no need to thank me. I didn't do much. The one you should thank is above."

He pointed his finger at the sky.

Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.

The youth before him, though possessing a powerful aura, was not significantly stronger than the Saintly Monk Ku Du.

The reason he could easily seal and restrain the Saintly Monk Ku Du, and shatter the demon body of the Demon Race giant, was entirely due to the whisk in his hand.

Therefore, the decision to act was made by another entity.

Perhaps it was the Chaos Origin of Jade Purity Palace!

"Xu Dong Lei, what's your name?"

The youth stepped forward and introduced himself before asking Qin Zheng's name.

"Qin Zheng."

Qin Zheng responded in kind.

"Qin Zheng."

The youth pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Not bad! A good name!"

He paused for a moment.

When he turned to look at Qin Zheng again, his expression became serious, "I've figured it out. You want to kill that mad monk and that stupid demon."

"But they can't be killed."

Qin Zheng was taken aback by these words.

The youth continued, "The reason that monk went mad is because he's close to the Dao. If he can overcome this tribulation, there's a high chance he'll attain the Chaos Origin."

"If it weren't for this, the Holy Mountain Buddhism wouldn't have allowed him to hold the position of Supreme Tutor of the Immortal Dynasty for millions of years, enjoying the incense offerings of the mortal realm."

"If a monk like him were to be killed, those old guys in the Holy Mountain wouldn't let it go so easily."

Qin Zheng nodded, "I understand."

When the Saintly Monk Ku Du made his move, Qin Zheng also considered taking action, but after the tortoise shell divination revealed the consequences, he chose to let it go.

This was the reason why Jade Purity Palace intervened at that time.

If they hadn't stepped in to restrain the Saintly Monk Ku Du, with the strength Qin Zheng had displayed, there was a real possibility that he could have been killed instead!

Seeing Qin Zheng's nod, the youth's face relaxed into a slight smile, and his heart eased a little.

He continued, "As for the stupid demon of the Demon Race..."

"Although he's far from attaining the Chaos Origin, he's still beyond the Great Transcendent Golden Numbers and has a slim chance of becoming a powerful demon."

"You've already killed so many Great Transcendent demons of the Demon Race. If you kill him too, the Demon Race might erupt in response!"

"We're not afraid, but since they've already backed down, we don't need to push them further."

The youth looked at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng nodded again.

The youth smiled, "Since you understand, I won't explain further."

"However..."

The youth's expression turned serious, and he continued, "What I said earlier is based on the assumption that your life is not in danger."

"If they threaten your life, whether it's the Holy Mountain Buddhism or the Demonic Court's powerful demons, just kill them without hesitation!"

"The disciples of our Jade Purity lineage are not to be threatened by others!"

The youth's voice was filled with killing intent.

The heavens and earth around them stirred with clouds and winds, as if a great battle was about to unfold, and the atmosphere became heavy with killing intent.

Qin Zheng smiled and nodded.

At this moment, he was certain that the Jade Purity Palace of this realm had truly accepted him as a disciple, without any hidden motives.

Qin Zheng hadn't felt this sense of protection and backing in a long time.

The youth smiled, and the killing intent emanating from his body instantly dissipated.

"Let's go. Let's return to Jade Purity Palace first. Many fellow disciples are waiting for you there."

He spoke again.

Qin Zheng nodded, but his gaze shifted to the other side.

There, Wang Zhongshan and Fan Qingyun stood, looking somewhat lost.

When Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon them, they immediately bowed deeply and shouted, "We thank you for your assistance!"

"Hmm."

Qin Zheng acknowledged them with a sound, then threw out two streams of radiant light, arriving in front of the two.

These were two Great Transcendent Golden Numbers artifacts refined from demon cores, but they weren't of much use to Qin Zheng.

"These two treasures are for you as a token of thanks for guiding me."

"Defend the human borders well, and we may meet again in the future."

Qin Zheng spoke calmly.

Wang Zhongshan and Fan Qingyun's faces lit up with joy, and they bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

Great Transcendent Golden Numbers artifacts! Even in the entire Central Immortal Dynasty, such treasures were extremely rare and could be considered supreme treasures.

The youth saw this and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

But when Qin Zheng turned around, he returned to normal and smiled, "Rest assured, the guy sitting in the Immortal Capital is no ordinary person."

After speaking, he waved his whisk, and a rift in space appeared before him. He took a step and entered it.

Qin Zheng's expression became solemn, and he followed, taking a step into the rift.
