Chapter 69 Someone from Haotian Sect comes
After he finished speaking, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye fell into a brief silence.
However, just a second later, all the magical herbs seemed to explode, their branches trembling and leaves shaking wildly, as if they were so excited that they wanted to uproot themselves.
"Child of Nature! I want to be the first one!"
"I will follow the Child of Nature forever!"
"Without the Child of Nature, what will we eat?"
"Yes, what should we eat?"
The Fiery Apricot, the Ink Jade Bamboo, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Autumn-Looking Dew rushed forward, eager to shove their flower crowns at Ye Chenxing's face, afraid of being left behind if they were even a step too slow.
The fragrant and exquisite fairy-like items were still lingering in the same place, lamenting the passing of spring and the coming of autumn.
It was actually a little disappointed that the Child of Nature hadn't chosen it as its spirit ring!
In that moment of distraction, it discovered that it had been pushed to the very back by its group of "good sisters".
Now it got really anxious.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" The pink flower crown of the Fragrant Fairy Flower shook violently, shouting angrily, "I'm your boss, okay? Don't you know the rules? I have to go first!"
These plants were talking together without any restraint. It wasn't noticeable when there were only a few, but now that there were more sentient plants, the noise was giving Ye Chenxing a headache. He waved his hand and said, "Don't rush, one at a time."
He unfolded his personal miniature dimension, and a rift slowly opened in the void.
The various immortal herbs lined up and flew in one after another. As soon as they entered, exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
"This place...this place looks just like the starry sky!"
"And the aura of the Child of Nature is so strong! We definitely made the right choice coming here!"
As the last immortal herb disappeared into the crack, Ye Chenxing bent down and gently pressed his hands on the ground.
The entire Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire vanished into thin air at that moment, and the next second, it settled steadily in the portable dimension.
In the small world, the spectacular scene of ice and fire reflecting each other echoed the dazzling starry sky above, creating a unique beauty. In the valley, only a barren open space remained, with no trace of its former splendor.
Just as Ye Chenxing was about to get up, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and his gaze instantly locked onto the outer edge of the valley.
At the same time, the voice of the Demon King also came: "My Lord."
Ye Chenxing stroked his chin: "I didn't expect there would be guests. Let's go, Lao Wan, let's go see him."
Previously, the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was so strong that neither of them noticed anyone approaching from outside the valley. Only now, with the treasure land gone and the aura dissipated, did they become aware of that unfamiliar presence.
The Demon King nodded in agreement, but his face had already begun to darken.
How many times has his process of sacrificing his soul ring been interrupted? Every time he's about to start, something goes wrong!
The Demon King gritted his teeth inwardly. No matter who came from outside, as long as they weren't his master's friends, he would give them a good "welcome" today!
Ye Chenxing led the Demon King and slowly walked out of the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was originally located.
The two walked out of the valley. On the clearing that had once been covered with the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorescence, a middle-aged man was now standing quietly.
He was well over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a burly build, his stature as imposing as an iron tower.
His short, gray hair stood straight up, highlighting his chiseled, resolute face, which exuded an imposing aura even without anger.
He had been standing there for an unknown amount of time; a thin layer of dust covered his shoulders, and the hem of his robes was damp with night dew. His motionless stance had left a deep imprint on the weeds at his feet. Only after the two had left the valley did he slowly open his eyes.
"Gentlemen, I've been waiting for you for quite some time." The man's voice was deep and resonant, echoing faintly in the empty valley.
Ye Chenxing stopped and looked at the other person with some curiosity: "Waiting for me? Who are you?"
The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged. He spoke, "I am the Sect Master of the Haotian Sect. I have come today to invite you two to the Haotian Sect for a discussion."
Ye Chenxing was slightly startled.
He never expected that the person who came was actually the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, and that he actually knew that he was in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? It seems that there might really be some methods left behind by the Buddha Tang here.
But what puzzled Ye Chenxing even more was that the person in front of him did not seem to be either the transformed form of the Azure Bull Python or the transformed form of the Titan Giant Ape.
He frowned slightly and tentatively asked, "You're the Sect Master of the Haotian Sect? Then are you Niu Tian, or Titan?"
The middle-aged man shuddered, his face paling, and he exclaimed, "How...how did you know those two names?!"
Before he finished speaking, a deep sense of grief and indignation welled up uncontrollably in his eyes.
His name is Tang Zhan.
He is the true and legitimate sect leader of the Haotian Sect in this generation.
He possesses innate full soul power, and his martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer.
From childhood to adulthood, he was known by the elders of the sect as "a peerless genius that the Haotian Sect has never seen in a thousand years".
Before he was even forty, he broke through to the Title Douluo level and naturally took over the position of Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.
He has now reached level 97, and is just one step away from level 98.
From a young age, he was taught to revere the ancestors of his sect and Tang San, the Sea God born from their Clear Sky Sect. He regarded Tang San as his lifelong faith, vowed to lead the Clear Sky Sect to regain its glory, and even dreamed of becoming the next god of the Clear Sky Sect.
until that day.
That day, everything changed.
After countless years, the Sea God finally delivered his divine decree. But the content of the decree plunged the overjoyed Tang Zhan into an icy abyss—
The sect leader and young sect leader of Haotian Sect will be replaced immediately.
Just that one simple sentence. No reason, no explanation.
He, a dignified level 97 Super Douluo, and his equally gifted son, were simply removed from their positions as sect leader and young sect leader, which they had painstakingly cultivated for many years, by a decree from their ancestor.
At first, Tang Zhan was able to hypnotize himself, comforting himself: Ancestor Tang San must have had a deeper meaning in making this arrangement! It must be that the gods sent down two even stronger Haotian Hammer seniors to guard the sect. If that's the case, for the sake of the sect's great cause, Tang Zhan is willing to step down and give way to the more capable!
But when the two new sect leaders arrived, he discovered that they were not members of the Tang family.
Later, he discovered an even more devastating reality: let alone the Clear Sky Hammer, they weren't even human.
And he had to be extremely respectful to the two soul beasts, addressing them as Sect Master.
These two sect leaders who were parachuted in did not provide any help or make any contributions to the Clear Sky Sect. They were focused on the young sect leader who was parachuted in with Tang San's ancestor.
He dared not utter a single complaint, but the grief and indignation had been building up in his heart for a long time.
He dared not resist, not only because of the difference in strength, but also because the education he had received since childhood had deeply imprinted his mind on him.
We cannot disobey the Sea God's command. Without the Sea God, there would be no Haotian Sect as we are today!
It should be noted that although the Haotian Sect has gone into seclusion, it has not completely sealed off its mountain gates.
They still maintain considerable contact with established reclusive forces such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heavenly Dragon Gate.
If his old friends and rivals knew that Tang Zhan had been inexplicably stripped of his power and reduced to the third-in-command of the sect, having to serve two soul beasts and the young lady every day...
No! He absolutely cannot accept such a humiliating disgrace!
Therefore, as long as he leaves Haotian Fortress and is out of the sight of those two soul beasts, Tang Zhan will still refer to himself as "Sect Master of Haotian Sect" when he travels outside.
Just a few days ago, the sea god's oracle descended once again.
The oracle said that the divine restriction on this place had been violated, and someone must be sent to investigate.
And this task naturally fell to him.
No matter how much resentment and bitterness he felt, he could only suppress it.
But now that Ye Chenxing had exposed his biggest secret, the fig leaf he had kept hidden outside the sect, he could no longer control his emotions.
"Don't mention those two names in front of me!" Tang Zhan suddenly roared, his voice booming through the valley, stirring up a cloud of sand and stones.
He clenched his fists, his bones cracking like popping beans, and veins bulged on his forehead as he roared, word by word.
"I am the true Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect! Clear Sky Douluo—Tang Zhan!"
Ye Chenxing suddenly realized that the other party was the true sect master of Haotian Sect in the original story, before the two licking beasts descended to the mortal realm.
He had been curious while reading the book: how come the Clear Sky Sect, which claimed to be no less powerful than the Body Sect, didn't even have a single titled Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer? He never expected to see the original body here.
He naturally heard the grief and indignation in the other party's roar, and a playful smile instead appeared on his lips: "Alright, Sect Leader Tang, what brings you to the Haotian Sect?"
"Enough with the nonsense, you don't need to know! Come with me!"
Already in a fit of anger, Tang Zhan had no patience to explain. As a descendant of the Haotian Sect, his inherent rage instantly erupted. He flashed forward, his large hand like an iron clamp reaching straight for Ye Chenxing's shoulder.
However, before he could even touch Ye Chenxing's clothes, a sudden change occurred!
"boom--!"
A thick, dark green vine, as thick as a giant python, burst forth from the ground without warning, lashing out at Tang Zhan's chest and sending the Super Douluo flying backward.
Tang Zhan tumbled and rolled several times in mid-air to dissipate the force, barely managing to steady himself. He looked at Ye Chenxing's side with a mixture of shock and anger:
"Who is it?!"
The figure of the Demon King slowly emerged, his dark green eyes fixed on Tang Zhan, his face full of ferocity.
"Who are you? Do you truly intend to interfere in the affairs of my Clear Sky Sect?!"
Tang Zhan roared, and with a flick of his right hand, a massive, dark hammer engraved with strange dark patterns suddenly appeared in his hand.
Haotian Hammer!
With the appearance of the heavy hammer, two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red spirit rings rose from beneath his feet! The two blood-red 100,000-year spirit rings exuded a terrifying, suffocating pressure.
However, the King of Ten Thousand Demons didn't utter a single unnecessary word.
The anger of being interrupted during the sacrifice finally found an outlet. In an instant, thousands upon thousands of branches shot out from behind him, sweeping towards Tang Zhan!
"You—you're a soul beast!"
Tang Zhan was terrified when he felt the terrifying pressure from that ferocious beast that was not human at all.
He dared not be negligent. His fifth and sixth spirit rings suddenly lit up, and he wielded the Clear Sky Hammer with impenetrable speed.
But who is the Demon King? A ferocious beast with a cultivation of 600,000 years, he is comparable to a Limit Douluo! Even though plant-type attacks are not known for their instantaneous burst of power, their terrifying foundation is something that Tang Zhan cannot easily withstand.
"Bang bang bang—!"
Huge, muffled thuds continued to explode, and Tang Zhan was forced to retreat steadily, his arms going numb.
The people of the Clear Sky Sect were already known for their volatile tempers, and having suffered countless humiliations at the hands of two spirit beasts over the years, Tang Zhan's eyes turned completely red as he was now suppressed by another spirit beast. His reason was instantly replaced by rage.
"Great Sumeru Hammer - Ring Explosion!"
Without any hesitation, Tang Zhan's first, second, third, and fourth spirit rings exploded instantly!
A surge of violent soul power was forcefully poured into the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang Zhan's aura instantly surged, and with a single blow, he shattered the vines blocking his path. He transformed into a black meteor, hurtling straight towards the face of the Demon King.
The Demon King's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly raised both hands. The ground cracked open, and two enormous wooden hands, as big as small mountains, rose out of thin air and slammed down on Tang Zhan from the left and right.
"Break it!"
Tang Zhan roared and swung his giant hammer, smashing the two wooden hands to pieces. But the next second, more and denser poisonous vines clung to him like maggots clinging to his bones.
The dark green venom clung to his protective soul power, emitting a piercing hissing sound. Tang Zhan's wounds multiplied, and his soul power was being consumed rapidly.
It can't go on like this!
Tang Zhan gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The remaining five spirit rings, including the two 100,000-year red spirit rings, exploded all at once!
All nine rings are blown up!
In an instant, an extremely terrifying aura soared into the sky, its power even surpassing that of Di Tian.
The Haotian Hammer in Tang Zhan's hand transformed into a black lightning bolt that tore through the heavens and earth, carrying the power to level the entire valley, and smashed fiercely towards the Demon King.
"Go to hell!!!"
This hammer blow was earth-shattering. The black hammer shadow almost blotted out the entire sky, carrying all of Tang Zhan's pent-up frustration and anger over the years, determined to crush the Demon King into mincemeat.
Faced with this desperate attack that could threaten even a Limit Douluo, the Demon King did not retreat but advanced, a strange smile spreading across his face.
Just as the Haotian Hammer was about to strike, Tang Zhan suddenly felt... everything freeze.
He saw a strange, eerie light flash in the Demon King's eyes. Immediately afterward, the surrounding air suddenly became as thick and viscous as swamp.
Tang Zhan was horrified to discover that countless green eyes, radiating an eerie light, had opened without warning in the void around his body!
All those eyes were fixed on him, shooting out eerie beams of light that shone upon him.
Everything around him slowed down to an extreme. His mind could still function normally, but he could only watch helplessly as the beams of light drained him dry, and he couldn't even move a finger.
It was the Demon King's unique skill—a thousand years in an instant!
