Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1776: Chapter 1815: Returning to the Continent with Vengeance

”I’m asking you, did they get anything from the tree?” The Asura Saint Son furrowed his brows and asked again.

Jiang Fan snapped back to reality and let out a chuckle: ”Why should I tell you?”

”You’ll have to guess.”

You!

The Asura Saint Son’s eyes were sharp, but then they softened, with a half-smiling, half-serious look:

”If they stole it, why bother to hide it? Telling me and causing me pain would fit right into your plans, wouldn’t it?”

”If you refuse to say it, there’s only one answer.”

”The Boundary Master qualification remains!”

”Hahaha...”

The Asura Saint Son clasped his fists and said, ”Thank you for informing me!”

”Finally, allow me to express my gratitude once more.”

”If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to obtain the Boundary Master qualification that the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation guarded for a thousand years!”

”The day I achieve the position of Boundary Master, I will definitely be deeply grateful to you.”

”Hahahaha!”

”Farewell, I’m off to claim the Boundary Master qualification that my mother and I have plotted for a millennium!”

At that moment, the Black Dragon Venerable’s eyes ceased their struggle, returning to the fierce and cold demeanor typical of the Black Dragon Venerable.

However, he couldn’t muster his fierceness right now.

The auras of the three Second Calamity Sage Realm experts converged, pressing down on him.

His legs buckled, and he was forced to prostrate on the ground.

The Great Wine Sacrifice of Heavenly State glanced at him indifferently and turned his gaze to the Nine Nether Demon Venerable, saying:

”Since he belongs to your Demon Continent, you should handle him.”

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable looked at the Black Dragon Venerable with a gentle yet cold gaze.

Just a glance made the Black Dragon Venerable’s heart tremble in fear. He understood that to tear open the interlayer world twice for a Tribulation Lotus Seed, allowing Hell creatures to invade the Demon Continent, was a betrayal of the Demon Race.

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable would never tolerate it.

He hastily pleaded, ”Demon Venerable, please let me redeem my sins by making merits in the Heavenly Realm, or at worst, let me die in the Heavenly Realm.”

Right now, all he wanted was to get through this major crisis.

But the Nine Nether Demon Venerable was no soft-hearted character and replied, ”There’s no need; a betrayer does not deserve my compassion.”

His gaze suddenly solidified, intent on executing him publicly.

”Senior, keep his soul,” Jiang Fan quickly intervened.

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable’s gaze softened a bit, then the Black Dragon Venerable’s body shattered on the spot, but the soul remained unharmed, suppressed by the Nine Nether Demon Venerable’s gaze, unable to move.

Jiang Fan gratefully clasped his hands and said, ”Thank you, Senior. Can you allow the younger generation to deal with his soul?”

Seeing that the Nine Nether Demon Venerable showed no expression, Jiang Fan added, ”Rest assured, Senior, I will not give him a chance to possess a body and rebuild.”

Only then did the Nine Nether Demon Venerable nod silently.

This scene caught the attention of the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerate and the Great Wine Sacrifice of Heavenly State, making both somewhat surprised in their hearts.

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable had never held a favorable view of the Central Earth Human Clan.

It was only due to a common enemy at present that he stood with the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerate and the Great Wine Sacrifice of Heavenly State.

Surprisingly, he was exceptionally forgiving towards Jiang Fan.

Allowing him to leave a soul, he did; letting him give away, he did.

Jiang Fan expressed his gratitude with clasped fists, then grabbed the fist-sized soul figure of the Black Dragon Venerable.

The once Black Dragon Venerable who could kill Jiang Fan at a whim in the past had now become a soul in his grasp.

Life or death lay in Jiang Fan’s hands.

”Where’s your throne treasure?” Jiang Fan scanned the surroundings but didn’t find the Space Storage Device among the Black Dragon Venerable’s body fragments.

Feeling extremely aggrieved, the Black Dragon Venerable sneered viciously: ”I was controlled by the Asura Saint Son, how could I have anything on me?”

”That vile little demoness took it all!”

Jiang Fan frowned: ”Does she know the opening spell?”

The Black Dragon Venerable in fury declared, ”I may die as the Black Dragon, but don’t think you can kill me and take my treasures?”

”I’d rather die than tell you!”

It turns out the demoness didn’t know, which was a relief.

Jiang Fan took out a pitch-black piece of wood and said, ”Great Venerate, recognize this?”

The Black Dragon Venerable only needed one look to recognize it, enraged, ”You little brat, it turns out you stole my Divine Wood!”

”I wrongly accused the Soul Shadow for it!”

Jiang Fan teased, ”Did you forget the effect of this Divine Wood?”

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Venerable recalled something, swallowed hard, ”You... what do you intend to do?”

Jiang Fan smiled innocently, ”Just making sure the Great Venerate stays quiet for a while.”

As he spoke, the Divine Wood swiftly swung down with a shadow.

Ten strikes in one second, each strike dispersing the soul of the Venerate!

”Ah~” Black Dragon Venerable managed only a brief scream before blacking out.

This way, Jiang Fan whipped out the soul tower given by the Heavenly Craft Sage.

It’s a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, but it may not be able to seal the Venerate’s soul.

Therefore, he had to make him voluntarily unconscious.

After dealing with the Black Dragon Venerable, Jiang Fan said: ”Three seniors, please accompany me to the continent.”

”With me leading you to the continent, there’s no fear of restriction constraints.”

Jiang Fan speculated that the continental restrictions might have been lifted following the Asura Saint Son’s invasion.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the sages of Central Earth have to watch helplessly as the Asura Saint Son acted recklessly?

”Let’s go!” The Great Wine Sacrifice of Heavenly State dared not delay, immediately protecting Jiang Fan to traverse the void, heading straight to Taicang State.

”Wait a moment!”

A sage aura surged from afar.

It was the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner, materializing from the void with an eighteen-year-old girl’s shoulder in his grip, none other than Yue Mingzhu.

Her face was slightly pale, marked by tear streaks.

Initially, the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner had just rescued Yue Mingzhu, and she sensed that Jiang Fan was facing dire danger, prompting her to rush here.

”Are you alright?” Yue Mingzhu leaped over, examining Jiang Fan from top to bottom.

Upon realizing he was unharmed, her heart, which had been suspended, finally settled.

Ever since learning that Jiang Fan was destined for a deadly ordeal, she had been on edge, fearing the moment she sensed Jiang Fan’s location was dire might indicate he was facing his fate.

Thankfully, he was still alive.

Jiang Fan’s heart warmed; he wiped away her tear streaks and said, ”I worried you. With so many seniors protecting me, how could anything happen?”

”You and Unnamed Senior return to Heavenly State first, I’ll be back soon.”

Unexpectedly, Yue Mingzhu clung to Jiang Fan’s arm, refusing to let go.

The eyes usually full of mischief were now replaced with deep concern.

”Where you go, I go!” Yue Mingzhu never wanted to leave Jiang Fan’s side again.

Fearing each parting might become a farewell forever.

Jiang Fan had no choice; time was tight, and he couldn’t spare many words, saying, ”Unnamed Senior, please take care of the people of Taicang State, the younger generation will be back shortly.”

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner glanced at the three Second Calamity Sage Realm experts, then turned away.

Meanwhile.

Underground, on the tenth floor.

Ah Yu Asura King sat cross-legged before the Crystal Coffin of Dugu Empress, exuding a pungent decaying aura, growing stronger.

She closed her eyes, head lowered, silently waiting for her hour of passing.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and slowly opened her eyes.

Suddenly, her pupils contracted.

Before Dugu Empress’s coffin, an elegantly poised middle-aged man from the Human Clan stood floating sternly, hands behind his back.

No, he wasn’t from the Human Clan.

He was a deeply hidden member of the Asura Clan.

The Asura Saint Son gazed at the lifelike Dugu Empress in the coffin and said casually:

”So, this is the Empress who ruled the Asura Realm a thousand years ago?”
