As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1397
Chapter 1397 Ding Qiankun
Outside Nether Void Palace, the people of more than twenty sects were trembling and uneasy, and in the distance, there were still some people from other powers who hadn’t left. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spines.
Back then, Yan Wen had occupied the Secluded Void Heaven, and most of it was due to the favorable weather. Back then, he had taken the lead and used the ancient restrictions of the Secluded Void Heaven to quickly repel the four forces. Then, he quickly established his hegemony. Without the slightest delay, the situation in the Secluded Void Heaven was stabilized. Only in this way could he be safe for several hundred years.
If it was today, Yan Wen might not be able to occupy the Secluded Void Heaven as steadily as he did back then. Even if he had occupied the entire Secluded Void Heaven, he would only dominate the central region of the Secluded Void Heaven. Only a radius of a thousand kilometers would surrender to him. He was far from being considered the master of the entire Heaven of Nether Void and Myriad Immortal Domains.
After all, in this Myriad Immortal Domain, all forces were like stars in the sky, and it was difficult to count them all. In the past thousand years, all of these forces had been coveting the fattest place, the Netherworld Heaven.
But now, this young man …
Cultivators from those forces in the distance could only feel waves of coldness coming from behind them. If it was said that Yan Wen had firmly occupied Nether Void Palace because of his ruthlessness, then this young man in front of him was not ruthless, but an absolute imperial presence!
Once the emperor’s decree was issued … the world dared not disobey!
Suddenly, the cultivators in the distance trembled. They looked at each other and saw each other’s pale complexions. After today … I’m afraid that the chaotic situation in Heaven of Nether Void for ten thousand years will be certain from now on!
…
In the night, the cold breeze was miserable, and the inclined moon in the sky was like a hook, like ice and frost. This night in the Void Heavens was actually so miserable and cold.
At this moment, in a magnificent dormitory, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and slowly breathed out. Using the spiritual energy here, he suppressed the death energy on his body bit by bit.
“Your Excellency …”
At this moment, footsteps rang out from outside. Daoist Qingdeng arrived outside the palace and did not move forward.
“Yes.”
After a while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. The death aura on his body had already been suppressed, and he said, “Come in.”
“Yes …”
Nowadays, Daoist Qingdeng’s every step was like treading on thin ice, so he had to be careful. When he arrived at the palace, he saw that Xiao Chen’s expression was not good and whispered, “You’re injured …”
“No problem.”
Xiao Chen’s tone was faint. Daoist Qingdeng remembered that during the day, he had clearly sensed the aura on his body, but it suddenly disappeared. It was not until a long time later that he rushed over. Could it be that he really encountered some powerful enemy?
Xiao Chen said, “He is a late Seven Realms cultivator. He has some abilities, but I don’t know who he is. However, it doesn’t matter if he is injured by me. I think he should have left by now.”
“Late Seven Realms …”
Daoist Qingdeng thought for a moment. Late Seven Realms couldn’t be underestimated. Which faction was it? He didn’t see anyone, so it was hard for him to guess at this moment.
Xiao Chen stood up and looked at him. “How are things going outside?”
Daoist Qingdeng came back to his senses and immediately said, “The twenty-odd sects that belong to the Serene Void Heavens have already been taken care of. I’m sure there won’t be any more rebels, but …”
He paused to think for a moment before frowning and continuing, “Many places outside the Netherworld are still occupied by some forces. Among these forces, there are some from Heaven of Nether Void, some from outside Heaven of Nether Void, and some from outside the Profound Continent … In short, dragons and snakes are mixed together.”
“A mix of dragons and snakes …”
Xiao Chen slowly walked to the window and looked at the crescent moon in the sky. Although he occupied Nether Void Palace now, the entire Heaven of Nether Void was still in chaos. This chaos had existed since ancient times, not because Yan Wen had died.
“Then Excellency … what are your plans this time?” Daoist Qingdeng slowly walked behind him and whispered.
Xiao Chen looked at Han Yue and said, “If this is chaotic and unpredictable, allowing the foreign countries to set up camp nearby and wait for me to leave, the chaos of today will repeat itself, then everything that has been done now will be meaningless.”
“So …”
At this moment, seeing the sharp light in his eyes, as if it was going to cut through the night, Daoist Qingdeng had already vaguely guessed a bit, and the space between his eyebrows was getting deeper and deeper.
“So … I want to take down the entire Heaven of Nether Void.”
The cold voice seemed to freeze the night. Even though Daoist Qingdeng had already guessed it, hearing him say it with his own ears made his heart tremble.
“Zheng!”
In the night, a cold sword rang out. Xiao Chen already had an ice-cold sword in his hand.
Under the pale moonlight, Di Gu was even colder. A cold sword intent was constantly emanating from the heart of the sword. Even if Daoist Qingdeng stood aside, he could still feel this lonely chill that had been silent for tens of thousands of years.
“This sword … is called Di Gu. Anyone who obtains this sword will definitely be able to rule the world, but in the end, all of them will betray their loved ones. The previous sword master used this sword to commit suicide …”
As Xiao Chen spoke, his fingers slowly stroked the sword’s body. The soft cry from the sword’s body seemed to echo not in his ears, but in his heart.
“Di Gu …”
Daoist Qingdeng stared blankly at the sword in his hand. It turned out to be the legendary number one evil sword in the world, Di Gu …
“Take this sword, if there is a traitor … kill without mercy!”
At this moment, the night became exceptionally cold. Daoist Qingdeng’s face was slightly pale. He stretched out his hands to receive Di Gu. When he touched the ice-cold hilt of the sword, his entire body couldn’t help but tremble. In an instant, he seemed to have fallen into the abyss that had been silent for tens of thousands of years and never seen the sun.
At this moment, he held Di Gu’s hand and was trembling. He carefully raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen, saying, “Poverty is not a disgrace to my mission …”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked out of the window at the night. He said, “From now on, I will change the name of Heaven of Nether Void. This Myriad Miles Immortal Domain will be called the Heavenly World in the future. Any cultivator from the mortal world can come here.”
It turned out that long before he came to the Profound Continent, he had already made all his plans. Cultivators from the mortal world were often unwelcome. Last time, because of the destruction of the spiritual veins of the Immortal Dimension, many cultivators from the mortal world were arrested and persecuted.
Now that he had gathered all these cultivators from the mortal world to Heaven of Nether Void, he could strengthen Heaven of Nether Void’s strength and make Heaven of Nether Void more stable. Secondly, he could also give these people a safe place to live, so that they would no longer be bullied by the powers of the Immortal Dimension.
…
The night was much darker. Daoist Qingdeng left with Di Gu. Xiao Chen was still standing by the windowsill, staring out at the cold moonlight, lost in thought.
He still clearly remembered what Empress had said to him in Kunlun that day. It was getting closer and closer to the day when Three Corpse Demon took shape. He did not know when, but before that, he had to do more.
Suddenly, he remembered that the mysterious person who had intercepted him outside the Serene Void Heaven during the day had at least reached the late Seven Realms.
If it weren’t for the last blow, he wouldn’t have been able to severely injure this person so easily. And … what exactly was the origin of this person?
“Da … Da … Da … Da …”
Right at this moment, a soft sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the palace. Xiao Chen turned around and smelled a faint fragrance coming from outside. He didn’t need to ask, but he knew who it was.
