Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1866: Defeat Celestial Demon Guardians II

After waiting for some time, those Celestial Demon Guardians entered the Endless Domain. They swiftly stopped when Zhang Fei [5], Wu Mian, and the three female demon gods blocked their path.

Wu Mian and the three female demon gods wanted to move against the Celestial Demon Guardians, but Zhang Fei [5] stopped them and moved himself. He still had many other things to do, so he didn’t want to waste too much time with them.

Compared to the Asura Demon Guardians, they were far weaker, and it didn’t take Zhang Fei [5] long to defeat them. With his current speed and strength, not even the Nightmare Lord Meng Huo could defeat him, let alone those Celestial Demon Guardians.

After defeating them, Zhang Fei replicated their souls, merged them with his own, and implanted his demon slave mark into each of their souls.

Then Zhang Fei [5] sent them back to the Celestial Demon Domain and ordered Mo Zhejun to take care of the leadership of the Celestial Demon Race. ”This way, I just have to wait for Mo Shentian to arrive in this domain, and I will defeat him at that time.”

”Why do I feel like you’re in such a hurry to take over the Celestial Demon Race?”

Zhang Fei [5] turned to Wu Mian. ”They’re no longer my opponents, and my new enemies are much stronger than them. Therefore, I won’t waste time with them, and I will take over that demon race as soon as possible. After I defeat Mo Shentian, I’ll enter seclusion, and I probably won’t come out until my cultivation reaches the Celestial God Realm.”

”That will take a long time.”

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei [5] nodded. ”Regardless of whether I reach that stage or not, I will return to this realm in ten years, and I will fight Qian Yan at that time.”

Wu Mian nodded in understanding. ”The most terrifying thing about Qian Yan is not his physical strength but the ability of all the eyes in his body, especially his middle eye.”

”You are mistaken, Old Wu.” Zhang Fei [5] created a QI screen displaying his battle against Qian Yan during the Soul Challenge in the Tower of Eternity. ”The demon beast god’s physical strength is high, and it surpasses Shang Zhanluo’s strength, strengthened by his awakening technique.”

Wu Mian himself had never seen Qian Yan fight using his strength, and he tended to give in to the other demon gods, especially Mo Shentian.

Zhang Fei [5] continued. ”If Qian Yan uses all his strength and abilities when he fights, he will become the strongest demon god not only in this realm but also in the Ancient Realm. Besides him, I still have two other opponents I must defeat in this realm, but my strength is still insufficient to defeat them.”

”Who are the two people you mean?”

”One of them is the Ghost Emperor of the Jiangshen Domain.”

”Damn!” Wu Mian cursed. ”Do you also have problems with that thing? No demon god wants to deal with that thing, including Mo Shentian and Qian Yan.”

”No,” Zhang Fei [5] denied. ”I’ve seen the Ghost Emperor when I stalked Tian Qiye into his domain several years ago, but I didn’t have any problems with him.”

”Then?”

”Have you ever heard of the Spirit Willow Tree?”

Wu Mian was taken aback. ”As far as I know, the Spirit Willow Tree was the lifeblood of the Jiangshen Domain, yet it perished long ago due to a calamity from the past. Nearly all the domain’s inhabitants perished in that disaster, and the domain transformed into a realm of ghosts because there was no one to guide their souls to the afterlife—which ultimately gave birth to the Ghost Emperor.”

”Yes,” Zhang Fei nodded at him. ”The Spirit Willow Tree is back, but it’s very weak now.”

”Huh?” Wu Mian was shocked. ”Did you just say that the Spirit Willow Tree has returned, Kid? But how did that happen?”

”Many years ago, I accidentally obtained the seed from the Spirit Willow Tree. I knew that the tree was the lifeblood of the Jiangshen Domain, so I planted it there when I was stalking Tian Qiye.” Zhang Fei [5] switched the image on the Qi screen. ”The tree is back now, but it is still young and weak, and it will take a lot of time to restore the domain to its original state.”

Wu Mian nodded in understanding. ”So, you want to defeat the Ghost Emperor to help the Spirit Willow Tree, right?”

”That’s right,” Zhang Fei [5] replied with a nod. ”As long as the Ghost Emperor still exists, the Spirit Willow Tree will not be able to fully develop, and the Jiangshen Domain will not be able to return to its former glory. Therefore, I must defeat him, but my strength is still not enough to fight him.”

”Then, who is the second person?”

”I am his final opponent in this realm.” Zhang Fei [5] and the others turned to Hu Tianlang’s Wrath Soul. ”You’ve grown, Kid.”

Hua Qianmei, Gongsun Zhilan, and Tang Zhiyao raised their vigilance as soon as they saw Hu Tianlang. ’This fox’s aura is too terrifying even though he has been dead for a long time!’

Zhang Fei [5] asked the three female demon gods to calm down and not attack Hu Tianlang. Although they were strong, he was far stronger than them, and he could kill them easily. ”If I don’t improve myself, I won’t be able to defeat you, and the ten-tailed fox will never return to this universe. If that happens, the writings you left behind in the Sky Jade Realm will never come true, and your sacrifices in the past will end up being in vain.”

”Hahaha,” Hu Tianlang laughed. ”I like looking at you now, Kid. Compared to when we first met in the Sovereign Heaven Realm, you are more mature, and you are not as arrogant as before.”

Zhang Fei [5] stiffened when Hu Tianlang mentioned the incident. Back then, he almost died because of him, and his cursed demon heart went out of control. If Zhang Chen hadn’t come to save him at that time, he would have fallen under the control of his heart’s original owner.

Zhang Fei [5] took a deep breath. ”I have one question for you, and I hope you’ll answer it.”

”Ask me.”

”Are Tian Baixing and Tian Baitian in your hands now?”

”That’s right,” Hu Tianlang admitted. ”They are in the Illusion Spirit Fox Domain now, and you will meet them when you go there. Currently, their cultivation has already reached the Celestial Emperor Realm, but they are still no match for you, so I will continue to help them improve their cultivation.”

Zhang Fei [5] narrowed his eyes; he did not expect that Tian Baixing and Tian Baitian’s cultivation was already on par with his. ”What method did you use to help them increase their cultivation so quickly?”

”Haha,” Hu Tianlang laughed while shaking his head. ”I won’t say anything about it, and you just need to know that they will be your last opponents before you face me. If you manage to defeat them, we will face each other in our final battle. If you manage to defeat me, you will evolve into the next ten-tailed fox.”

Zhang Fei [5] took a deep breath; his gaze turned sharp. ”You don’t have to worry about that; I will defeat the two of them in front of you, and I will defeat you after I defeat them.”

”Hahaha,” Hu Tianlang laughed loudly as his body slowly disappeared. ”I will wait for you in the Illusion Spirit Fox Domain, Kid. If you manage to defeat me, I will help you evolve into the ten-tailed fox, and you will be unrivaled in this universe.”

Zhang Fei [5] clenched both his fists. ”Just wait! I’ll defeat you at that time!”

”Calm down, husband.” Tang Zhiyao hugged him from behind. ”You’re no match for him right now, but I’m sure you can defeat him in the future. If you need my help improving your cultivation, I’ll be happy to help you with that.”

”I know.” Zhang Fei [5] looked at Wu Mian. ”Old Wu, Mo Shentian will arrive in this domain in a few days, so you can tell me when he arrives.”

Wu Mian nodded. ”You don’t need to worry about that; I will immediately inform you once he arrives in this domain.”

”Sigh.” Zhang Fei [5] opened a portal to the Jiangshen Domain. ”I’ll take the three of them away now.”

After they left, Wu Mian glanced around the area before vanishing.

”Hmm?” The three female demon gods were startled by the situation in the Jiangshen Domain.

”Is this domain the ghost domain?”

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei [5] enveloped them with his aura and led them away.

When they arrived there, they saw that the Spirit Willow Tree had grown somewhat, but it was still far from its original size.

Soon, the spirit of the Spirit Willow Tree appeared before them. ”Long time no see, Zhang Fei.”

”Six and a half years, to be precise.”

”Yes.” The tree spirit nodded at him. ”Thanks to you, the Spirit Willow Tree is back now, but my strength hasn’t returned yet, so I can’t bring about any changes to this domain.”

”Is that Ghost Emperor trying to attack you for the past few years?”

”He tried to attack me several times, but the barrier protecting this place stopped him. Without the barrier, he would have destroyed the Spirit Willow Tree long ago, and this domain would forever be the ghost domain.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei [5] took out a seed and showed it to the spirit. ”Do you know anything about the Ancient Divine Tree?”
