Chapter 363 Return to Nine Continents
Thunderous Roar...
A deafening sound shook the ground as a black fissure, a thousand feet long, suddenly appeared in the sky above the Nine Continents Mainland. The entire space trembled, and an incredibly terrifying aura spread throughout the Nine Continents World, causing countless powerful beings residing in the Nine Continents Mainland and the surrounding realms to change their expressions.
Within Daoism, the closed eyes of Taishang Laojun suddenly opened wide, two terrifying beams of light bursting forth. Without uttering a word, he waved his right hand, releasing a yellow Divine Radiance, and then he vanished from his original spot.
In the Blade Domain, the hunched Old Domain Master straightened up abruptly. His eyes, filled with Vicissitudes, fixed intently on another direction. Two piercing lights flashed in his pupils as he stepped forward into the void, disappearing without a trace.
Within the Witch Clan, the High Elder of the Witch Clan's gaze flickered with dark energy. After murmuring a few words, he instantly vanished from the secret chamber, leaving behind only a faint black glow that continued to shimmer with an eerie color.
In the Ancient Hall of the War Clan, an Elder sighed softly before transforming into a streak of black light and disappearing within the hall. The battle intent wrapped within that black light was no less formidable than that of the Supreme War Ancestor of the War Clan. Countless powerful beings within the War Clan sensed this battle intent and appeared in the Void with serious expressions.
Additionally, three terrifying figures emerged from the Overseas Islands. Their speed surpassed that of lightning; in an instant, they covered millions of feet, racing toward the source of that aura at an extremely alarming pace. They were none other than three Ancient God Strongmen from the Three Ancient Clans: the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan Leader of the Bird Tribe, and the Qilin Saint Emperor leading the Beast Clan.
Just as they set off, three figures also stepped out from within the black fissure—one man and two women—each exuding a terrifying aura. They were none other than Sun Zhe and his companions.
"Seven people; this must be all that remains of the Ancient God Strongmen in the Nine Continents World. If it weren't for the sudden attack by the Demon Army back then, there should have been nearly twenty Ancient God Strongmen in Nine Continents."
Although Night Lotus Demon Ancestor was a powerful being from the demon race, he no longer belonged to their camp. Seeing these remaining strong figures in Nine Continents stirred a sense of sorrow within him. It would have been better if they had ambushed Nine Continents' Ancient God Strongmen instead of launching a surprise attack on Nine Continents itself.
It was precisely for this reason that the Nine Continents World was preserved, but the number of its supreme beings had significantly decreased compared to before; conversely, the demon race fared much better.
"Who can say what happened back then? You cannot be held responsible for everything; after all, you were also caught in circumstances beyond your control. Since you are no longer enemies with Nine Continents now, I believe they will not pursue these matters any further."
Noticing Tang Yuexi's somewhat unnatural expression, Sun Zhe immediately spoke to comfort her. He knew that Tang Yuexi had once personally slain an Ancient God Strongman from Nine Continents and that she herself had been severely injured by a powerful being from Nine Continents. Out of necessity, she had to use the Three Thousand Souls Returning Technique; otherwise, things would not have turned out this way.
"Haha, I understand, you don't need to worry."
Seeing Sun Zhe's worried expression, Tang Yuexi smiled slightly and nodded gently. She no longer wanted to be involved in any conflicts; if it weren't for Sun Zhe, she would prefer to find a place to live a simple life like before. As for the Ancient God Strongmen from the Nine Continents, she didn't take them seriously.
"They're here."
As the Night Lotus Demon Ancestor spoke, both Sun Zhe and Tang Yuexi turned their gazes forward. Instantly, seven figures appeared at the edge of their vision, moving towards them with incredible speed, almost reaching them in the blink of an eye.
"May I ask which three esteemed guests have arrived in my Nine Continents World? Old Man of the Nine Continents, Taishang Laojun, may I know your honored titles?"
The voice of Aged echoed slowly from the distant void; it was indeed the voice of Daoism's Taishang Laojun. Although he couldn't see the appearances of the three individuals clearly, he could sense their aura and realized that they were all powerful beings from the Realm of the Ancestor Deity—three Ancient God Strongmen, which constituted a formidable force!
"Zhe Er?"
A surprised voice rang out not far away. Although Taishang Laojun sensed Sun Zhe's aura first, it was the Old Domain Master who arrived fastest, capable of cutting through the void. When he reached this place and saw Sun Zhe's face, he was instantly stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had clearly witnessed Sun Zhe's death under Fan's Divine Ability years ago and never expected that Sun Zhe had come back to life and reached the Realm of the Ancestor Deity in such a short time—just over four hundred years. Achieving the Realm of the Ancestor Deity in four hundred years was nearly impossible, even in four thousand years. Yet Sun Zhe had done it.
"Sun Zhe pays respects to Old Domain Master!"
Sun Zhe showed respect, cupping his hands and earnestly addressing Old Domain Master. Although he was now an Ancient God Strongman, he still regarded Old Domain Master as his senior. In his heart, Old Domain Master's status was irreplaceable; even with his elevated realm, he remained a junior disciple to Old Domain Master.
"Tang Yuexi and Night Lotus pay respects to Old Domain Master."
Since Sun Zhe had respectfully greeted him, Tang Yuexi and Night Lotus Demon Ancestor naturally followed suit. Tang Yuexi felt somewhat at ease since she had previously paid her respects to Old Domain Master. However, Night Lotus Demon Ancestor was different; she had always held a high position as a Demon Ancestor and had never bowed to anyone before. But seeing her sister and brother-in-law do so, she reluctantly followed suit.
"You... you all..."
Seeing Tang Yuexi and Night Lotus Demon Ancestor, Old Domain Master was taken aback. Even he couldn't help but gasp in surprise. How could he not recognize these two renowned powerful figures of the demon race? He never expected that Tang Yuexi would greet him, and upon looking at Sun Zhe's appearance, he vaguely understood what was happening, causing him to burst into laughter.
"Good, good! Since you are all Ancient God Strongmen now, there's no need for excessive formalities!"
At this moment, he felt more at ease than he had in half his life. Three Ancient God Strongmen were greeting him; this was a treatment he had never enjoyed before.
Seeing Old Domain Master's joyful expression, Sun Zhe and Tang Yuexi exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh as well. Only Night Lotus Demon Ancestor curled her lip, her face filled with displeasure. She secretly underestimated whether the other Ancient God Strongmen would also greet Sun Zhe one by one; that would be more unbearable than killing her.
"Sun Zhe, you're still alive..."
The astonished voices rang out simultaneously from the stage. It was none other than Supreme Lao Jun, High Elder of the Witch Clan, and Elder of the War Clan who had arrived together. Upon seeing Sun Zhe, they were all momentarily stunned, clearly mirroring Old Domain Master's earlier reaction, thinking that Sun Zhe was already dead.
"Hmph! Can you three old fellows even speak? Zhe Er has been perfectly fine; what do you mean dead? Don't spit nonsense; you're getting worse with age, can't even talk properly anymore!"
Before Sun Zhe could respond, Old Domain Master stepped forward, glaring at the three and scolding them, leaving them utterly bewildered.
Seeing the four of them, Sun Zhe and the others couldn't help but laugh. Probably only Old Domain Master would dare to scold those three like this in the entire Nine Continents. After all, all four were considered part of the oldest generation in Nine Continents World; even the Dragon Emperor and his companions were several generations younger.
"Demon race Monster! Since you've come to my Nine Continents, don't think about leaving!"
A furious roar erupted as three terrifying figures suddenly appeared. It was none other than the Dragon Emperor and his companions who had rushed over from Overseas Islands. The Dragon Emperor at the forefront had a murderous glare in his eyes. He didn't look at Sun Zhe and the others; instead, his gaze was fixed firmly on Tang Yuexi as he swung a golden ancient dragon sword fiercely toward her.
The strength of the Dragon Emperor was incredibly formidable; even among many Ancient God Strongmen in Nine Continents, he could definitely rank among the top three. No one could overpower him except for Supreme War Ancestor. Now enraged and taking action, his sword transformed into an Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon that roared madly toward Tang Yuexi, its roar shaking the ground as if it were a force of destruction.
“Dragon Emperor, stop!” Seeing this scene, Taishang Laojun and the others immediately shouted. Regardless of Tang Yuexi's identity, she was after all a friend of Sun Zhe, otherwise they would have acted long ago.
“Hmph, ignorant!”
Before Old Domain Master and the others could act, Sun Zhe coldly snorted, his figure flashing to stand in front of Tang Yuexi. Back then, he was powerless to resist when Dragon Emperor targeted Tang Yuexi, but now he completely possessed the strength to do so.
With a grasp of his right hand in the air, a Black Longsword appeared in his hand. Although this longsword was merely condensed from the Rule of Power, its might was already on par with an ordinary Ancient Treasure. The attack power was far beyond that of an average Ancient Treasure. With a slash through the air, black light flashed and a wave of destructive power tore through the void.
“Boom…”
With an explosive sound, violent energy scattered everywhere. The Black Longsword still hovered in front of Sun Zhe, while the roaring Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon had been cleaved in half by a single strike.
“You…”
The Dragon Emperor's body shook, and his rushing figure suddenly halted. Both the Phoenix Clan Leader and Qilin Saint Emperor slightly changed their expressions. Even the Old Domain Master, who had just been ready to intervene, was momentarily stunned. One of the four Supreme Techniques of the Dragon Emperor, the Divine Dragon Roar, was just gone like that?
At this moment, everyone looked at Sun Zhe with different expressions.
“If it weren’t for the fact that the demon clan and the Asura Clan army will attack the Nine Continents in seven days, I would destroy your divine body and break your Three Thousand Souls Return Technique right now!” The cold words were slowly spoken, two terrifying glints gathering solely on Dragon Emperor. Sun Zhe did not hide the ruthlessness in his eyes as he coldly spoke.
