The East State of the Barbaric Forbidden Land!

There exists a Demon Mountain, the birthplace of the first ”Demon” in the history of the Martial Arts World. In such a place, anything is possible, because even the powerful figures of Half-step Emperor Realm in the past couldn’t shock kill this ”Demon.” This proves that the ”Demon” is truly an anomaly, neither belonging to the Ancient Alien Race, the Demon Clan, nor the Non-human Clan. It’s a unique presence, making one curious about what the Demon looks like.

When Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan reached the sacrificial altar on the black rocks, Princess Zi Xuan began using her mind to communicate with the Transmission Array. Ye Tianchen stood by as her protector. In a place where anything could happen, like the Demon Mountain, despite his easy words, Ye Tianchen was on guard mentally. For him, the most important task was to travel to Northern State smoothly, enter the Flying Flower Zen Temple’s lineage, and successfully obtain the Immortal Origin Liquid!

Princess Zi Xuan stepped up to the Transmission Array and formed seals with her hands. Ye Tianchen watched attentively. Truth be told, he didn’t understand how to activate the Transmission Array or accurately pinpoint the coordinates. Despite having experts like Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, they never mentioned knowledge about Transmission Arrays. It seemed they didn’t know much about Transmission Arrays either; otherwise, wouldn’t they have bragged in front of Ye Tianchen already?

Buzz!

Buzz!

Princess Zi Xuan formed seals with her hands as her Divine Thought Power spread out, slowly gathering towards the small Transmission Array’s pattern. The small Transmission Array’s pattern was suddenly lit up. Upon lighting, Ye Tianchen noticed it was covered in dense rune-like elements, each lit spot connected by thin energy lines. These numerous lit spots linked together formed the Transmission Array.

”If I’m not mistaken, these lit spots should be the coordinates!” Ye Tianchen remarked while observing the spots illuminated by Princess Zi Xuan.

”Yes, correct!” Princess Zi Xuan nodded at Ye Tianchen.

”So, which lit spot leads to Northern State?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”Right here... As long as I channel my thoughts into this spot, the Transmission Array will fully activate, taking me to Northern State!” Princess Zi Xuan said with a sly smile.

”You seem like you’re up to something,” Ye Tianchen bluntly stated.

”Indeed, because I don’t want to take you to Northern State. You going there would mean causing trouble at my Flying Flower Zen Temple. Although our Flying Flower Zen Temple’s legacy is powerful and fearless, we prefer avoiding complications. Goodbye...” Princess Zi Xuan said mischievously with a smile.

Whoosh!

As soon as Princess Zi Xuan finished speaking, Ye Tianchen sensed danger. This woman planned to abandon him and leave first. If she left, how could he activate the Transmission Array and reach Northern State smoothly? She claimed the lit spot was the coordinate to Northern State, but what if it wasn’t? What if she was deceiving him? Wouldn’t he be doomed?

Thinking of this, Ye Tianchen immediately reached out to grab Princess Zi Xuan, but her figure had already dissipated, likely carried away by the Transmission Array’s power; it seemed he was abandoned!

”Haha, Fat Taoist, you fell for it, didn’t you? Zi Xuan isn’t so easily fooled, bye-bye!” Princess Zi Xuan mockingly laughed.

Boom!

Just when Ye Tianchen missed grabbing Princess Zi Xuan, a loud explosion occurred above the Transmission Array. A black flame appeared, crashing down heavily on the Transmission Array and sending it flying to the side. Although it didn’t shatter, it stopped functioning, and Princess Zi Xuan’s figure fell out of it!

”Ah... What’s happening?” Princess Zi Xuan exclaimed in surprise as she fell from the Transmission Array.

”How would I know? Maybe a demon truly appeared!” Ye Tianchen replied calmly.

”You... You didn’t intentionally mess with me, did you?” Princess Zi Xuan glared at Ye Tianchen and asked irritably.

”If I had that capability, I surely would’ve. Sadly, I hadn’t made a move when you fell out!” Ye Tianchen replied nonchalantly.

Roar!

Suddenly, a demonic shadow appeared above the sacrificial altar. Although it was just a phantom, it was much stronger than the previous demonic shadow. With a mighty roar, it sent Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan flying, startling them into not daring to argue anymore as they focused on watching the demonic shadow on the altar!

”How powerful is this Demon Shadow! How did you deal with it before?” Ye Tianchen glanced at Princess Zi Xuan and asked.

”How would I know? It’s my first time encountering it too. It’s all because of you! You insisted on following me. Originally, I could have safely passed through this Transmission Array just like before, without any issues. But because you followed me, trouble arose!” Princess Zi Xuan glared at Ye Tianchen with annoyance.

”What? No way! You’re wrongly accusing me. There must have been something different when you were activating the Transmission Array that caused this to happen. You’re trying to pin this on me?” Ye Tianchen replied with a disgruntled expression.

”I... I don’t want to talk to you. You hold off the Demon Shadow while I continue to activate the Transmission Array!” Princess Zi Xuan frowned and said.

”No way! You almost managed to escape on your own just now. If you activate the Transmission Array under these circumstances, won’t you just run off again? Do you really think I’m a fool, Princess?” Ye Tianchen shook his head.

Roar!

Another loud roar came from the Demon Shadow, which appeared atop the Sacrificial Altar, descending as if from the heavens. It wasn’t very tall, resembling a child, but the aura it emitted was extremely powerful, much stronger than any Demon Shadows that appeared before. It even gave a soul-snatching sensation!

Whoosh!

After its roar, the Demon Shadow suddenly leapt up, charging directly towards the Transmission Array on the ground!

Slap!

Princess Zi Xuan immediately struck out with a palm. However, this strike landed on the Demon Shadow, causing her to frown as her palm was stained with a kind of black flame. This black flame drilled into her palm, but given the circumstances, she paid no attention and once again fiercely confronted the Demon Shadow, only to be forced back!

”Stop it quickly, it’s trying to destroy the Transmission Array to prevent anyone from East State from traveling to other states!” Princess Zi Xuan said urgently to Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen also reacted, despite feeling annoyed that Princess Zi Xuan wanted to abandon him earlier. But now this Demon Shadow was trying to destroy the Transmission Array, and Ye Tianchen couldn’t allow that to happen. If the Transmission Array were destroyed, how could Ye Tianchen go to Northern State? That’s absolutely unacceptable, so Ye Tianchen struck out with a punch at the Demon Shadow!

Roar!

Seeing Ye Tianchen attack, the Demon Shadow let out a sharp roar and punched at Ye Tianchen!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen’s fist collided with the Demon Shadow’s fist, black sparks erupted, startling Ye Tianchen and causing him to frown. He felt some kind of force infiltrating his right hand, but before he could react, the Demon Shadow charged at him again to give him no respite!

Bang!

Bam!

Bam!

Ye Tianchen engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Shadow, both continuously swinging their fists. At this moment, Ye Tianchen was feeling the pressure and shock, finding it difficult to manifest his Martial Arts True Qi, relying instead on his Physical Body Power. It’s important to note that Ye Tianchen’s Physical Body Cultivation Realm was even stronger than his own cultivation realm, in other words, Ye Tianchen was unique. His physical power was exceptionally formidable, rare among Human Clan Practitioners and hardly matched by those from the Ancient Alien Race or Demon Clan. Yet, this Demon Shadow fought him head-on, without backing down in the slightest, and Ye Tianchen couldn’t gain any advantage, surprising him greatly!

Bang!

With a dull thud, Ye Tianchen and the Demon Shadow momentarily separated. Ye Tianchen frowned, realizing that continuing like this could be dangerous and too time-consuming. More importantly, he had a foreboding feeling that something unusual might happen with the surrounding aura, suggesting an impending upheaval. Getting through the Transmission Array and leaving was the priority!

Boom!

Ye Tianchen clenched his right fist tightly, infusing it with strong Martial Arts True Qi. Golden power spread out, causing Princess Zi Xuan to frown and look on with amazement. She might not have expected that this seemingly chubby Taoist could suddenly become so powerful, exuding a domineering aura, quite unlike what a Taoist should possess!

”What are you waiting for? I’ll hold off this Demon Shadow, hurry up and reactivate the Transmission Array! Don’t waste time, there might be changes!” Ye Tianchen said and charged at the Demon Shadow! (To be continued.
