Chapter 213 - The Mysterious Man Behind The Scene.
Not even a day has gone by and the terrifying news regarding the annihilation of the Eight Ancient Families' forces as well as the death of Demi-God Ye had swept through the Heaven Suppression Region like a powerful storm.
In just one night, the entire Heaven Suppression Region had become quiet as everyone became paralyzed for a long time after hearing the news.
The Eight Ancient Families' army, an unshakable force which was comprised of thousands of peak Martial Saints including countless Martial Venerable and Martial Sovereigns, were all slaughtered in a single day by a group of red-haired devils like dogs outside of Black Iron City without the power to resist.
Thunder Demi-God Ye, an existence that stood at the apex of the Great Luo World, was also killed on the same day.
Each one of this news was more shocking than the other. What was even more frightening, one person was responsible for all of these events or massacre.
Ling Chen!
The whole Heaven Suppression Region was silent.
All the powerful influences within the Heaven Suppression Region, including the other Demi-Gods, were all quiet.
It took everyone a while to fully digest this unbelievable news. Once they were done, The entire Heaven Suppression Region was in a state of panic.
With the death of the Patriarchs as well as top experts of the Eight Ancient Families, the remaining survivors of the Eight Ancient Families all ran away while grabbing and stealing everything they could find.
Those who didn't escape on time were all killed by their families' enemies. As influences that stood at the apex of the Sun Demi-God Domain, the eight ancient families had many enemies.
However, none of them dared to take the initiative to loot the Ancient Families as they were afraid of offending Ling Chen.
With the death of Demi-God Ye, they all knew that he was a heaven-defying existence capable of slaying gods and devils.
Meanwhile, the other powerful influences throughout the Heaven Suppression Region that wanted to take action against Ling Chen after knowing that he was in possession of one of the keys of the Great Luo Martial God's Tomb shuddered in fear after receiving the news.
Many of them instantly sat down with pale expressions on their faces as cold sweat ran down their backs upon receiving the news.
Luckily, they didn't quickly go after him. Otherwise, their end could be easily envisioned. At this moment, they found themselves fortunate and were glad that they didn't blindly join in.
As for the other Martial Saints that were hiding in Black Iron City, the moment they saw Ling Chen killed Thunder Demi-God Ye, they didn't waste any time as they quickly left the city with their tails between their legs.
They didn't expect Ling Chen to be this strong to the point of killing a Demi-God so easily.
How frightening was this?
If they knew that he was this dangerous and powerful, they wouldn't have been courageous enough to stalk him.
Think about it, who would dare to stalk an existence that could kill a Demi-God? If he were to become annoyed, then he could have easily annihilated all of them.
.....
Divine Demon Beast Region.
In the sky above the vast forest and the immeasurable mountain ranges of the Divine Demon Beast Region, a barefoot and sloppy-looking old man dressed in a tattered robe along with an azure robe middle-aged man were flying at full speed.
They were so fast that it seemed like they were two streaks of light from the distance.
"Old Yan, are you really going to include those savage beasts Demi-God into your plan."Suddenly asked the azure robe middle-aged man with a baffled expression on his face as they were flying in the sky
"Hundred Eyes, I know that you have some enmity with the Demon Beasts, especially the Azure Snake Demi-God because he had killed your little brother years ago when you were venturing within the Divine Demon Beast. However, you'll need to put aside your hate for this mission."
"We really need the Beast Gods to agree to our proposal once when we entered the Tomb. If we want to get out of this damn prison and break though the God Realm, we will need all the help we can get. That person isn't easy to deal with. He's an existence that far surpassed the God Realm."
"Although he's injured, he was able to battle with the Will of this world for more than a hundred thousand years. Though he didn't come out on top, he was still able to grab half of the world from the Will of this world's control. He isn't someone we can deal with alone." Explained the old man.
After hearing the old man's explanation, Hundred Eyes became quiet and stopped complaining. At the same time, there was a hint of fear and despair in his eyes when the old man mentioned that man.
Almost everyone in the world viewed that man as the greatest warrior that had ever lived and also the savior of the human race. However, to them, that man was nothing but a devil.
Someone that had imprisoned a whole world and used its inhabitants as nutrients and energy to nourish and heal his injured soul.
Well, it's not like he could blame them. He used to think the same way as well until he broke through the Demi-God rank and found out about the secrets of this world.
As both of them were flying into the deepest part of the Divine Demon Beast Region, the old man suddenly stopped.
At the same time, there was an ugly expression on his face.
"Old Yan, is there something wrong?"Asked the Azure robe middle-aged man upon seeing the ugly expression on the old man's face.
He knew the old man for more than five hundred years and it was his first time seeing him with that kinda expression on his face.
"Thunder Demi-God Ye is dead, he was killed by Ling Chen." Answered the old man in a quivering voice.
" What!" The azure robe middle-aged man unconsciously jumped upon hearing the old man's answered. At the same time, his expression also turned ugly.
"He's already that strong. I thought he was just a peak Martial Saint." He added with a disbelieving expression on his face.
As a Demi-God, Hundred Eyes knew just how huge of a gap there was between a Martial Saint and a Demi-God. It was an insurmountable gap between heaven and earth.
Even a peak Martial Saint would be easily slain by a Demi-God's projection, let alone his real body. Yet, Ling Chen was able to kill Thunder Demi-God Ye.
This could only mean one thing, Ling Chen already possessed the power comparable to that of a Demi-God. As for breaking through the Demi-God rank, it was impossible as he was Fateless and was unable to access the power source or the elemental power of this world.
"Old Yan, What about the plan then? If the little bastard has already become this strong, it would be impossible to use him, not to mention he isn't alone." Asked the azure robe middle-aged man with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Even though they were both Demi-Gods, Thunder Demi-God Ye was stronger than him as he controlled a powerful elemental power. However, Thunder Demi-God Ye was still killed by Ling Chen so how could he not be afraid. Not to mention, they were plotting against him.
At this moment, Hundred Eyes felt as if a huge calamity was looming over his head.
"Don't worry about it. As long as the other Beast Gods agree with us, we will still be able to carry out with the plan." Answered the old man with a determined expression on his face.
Although the sudden increase of Ling Chen's strength was beyond his imagination, everything was still in his control.
Not only he was plotting against him, that man was also plotting against Ling Chen as well as he wanted to use his body as a vessel for his soul.
As such, even though he might have the strength comparable to that of a Demi-God, he was still in an unfavorable position as he was cornered on all side. Not to mention, their strength will increase when they entered that place.
"Let's go. We have to make sure the others agree to the plan." Added the old man before he continued to fly forwards.
