Chapter 1035

For the past fifty years, Zi Chen had been living an inhuman life. Although his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, he could not bear to look back on the past. In the past forty years, he had exhausted all the resources he had.

Furthermore, in that place, techniques and recovery abilities could not be used at all, so he had to rely on resources to maintain his life.

And in the last ten years, the reason why Zi Chen was able to survive was all because of the lightning liquid that the dragon head had swallowed back then. This allowed Zi Chen to live through those ten years peacefully. Being baptized by lightning day and night, Zi Chen felt as if his entire body was about to turn into a bolt of lightning.

However, the rewards were proportional to the torment. Zi Chen's strength had also increased by leaps and bounds in a short fifty years. He had broken through to the middle stage of the Mortal Origin Realm, and was not far from the late stage.

However, what was worth mentioning was that right after the lightning liquid was completely consumed, the dragon head shone with a ray of light and left Zi Chen, disappearing without a trace. And it was also at that moment that Zi Chen felt a huge force assaulting him. Then, he left the Lightning Divine Palace and descended from the sky.

"Bang."

Zi Chen's body heavily smashed onto the ground like a meteor. With a loud bang, a huge crater appeared on the ground, and dust flew everywhere.

When Zi Chen got up, the clothes and inner armor on his body had all turned into ashes. After experiencing the baptism of lightning for fifty years, these inner armors that were of decent quality had not successfully transformed, and had instead turned into ashes. This showed how powerful the lightning was.

The naked Zi Chen's body flickered with the light of lightning. His slender figure had almost reached perfection, and every part of his body was filled with powerful strength.

With a flash of light, a black robe appeared on Zi Chen's body, and Zi Chen walked out from the crater.

Looking around, this place was surrounded by mountains. It was a forest with tall trees, but it was completely silent. Even the cries of ordinary birds could not be heard.

Just as Zi Chen was guessing what kind of place this was, the sound of something breaking through the air suddenly came from the horizon. Following the investigation of his spiritual sense, Zi Chen's face slightly changed.

"The Devil Race. It's actually the Devil Race." Zi Chen's face was filled with shock. "Could this be the Ancient Road, and I'm in the middle of it?"

The demons arrived quickly. There were a total of eight of them. The leader was in the Mortal Essence Realm, while the rest were in the Core Essence Realm. If this was the Ancient Road, there would be a suppression of cultivation levels. However, Zi Chen did not sense it. Besides that, he was sure that this was not the Ancient Road after trying to sense the Thunder Command.

It wasn't the Ancient Path, but the devil race had come. Their meaning was clear. In the past fifty years, the devil race had invaded the Martial Heaven Continent. A calamity had descended.

"Human."

A group of demons stepped forward and surrounded Zi Chen. Cold light flashed in their eyes as they released killing intent.

"How dare you come to our territory? You're courting death."

The group of devilish beings naturally saw the deep crater on the ground, and guessed that this human had most likely stumbled into this place by mistake. Over the past few decades, they had already become accustomed to this kind of situation. There was demonic Qi in the teleportation formation, which greatly reduced its stability, so it was very normal for such a situation to occur.

The leader of the demons, Yuan Jing, looked at Zi Chen and coldly said, "If it was any other time, we would naturally give you a choice to live. But today, we don't have the time to bring you back. Consider yourself unlucky."

"Are you busy exterminating the other races?" asked Zi Chen.

"Exterminating a race isn't an exaggeration. We're just going to reclaim one race," said the demon proudly. "Right now, there are quite a few forces relying on our Devil Race."

When Zi Chen heard this, he was clearly surprised. But after thinking about it, he understood. Humans were too smart. They had many ideas in their minds. It was normal for them to make strange choices.

Just as Zi Chen was frowning, a trace of Qi naturally escaped. Sensing the Qi of the Human Origin Realm, the group of demons' faces changed greatly.

The leader of the demons was surprised, but he wasn't afraid. He then said, "So it's the Human Origin Realm. No wonder you're so brave. Well, I'll give you a choice. Join our Devil Race."

Seeing that Zi Chen didn't speak, the demon continued, "Right now, there are many powerhouses relying on us. Not to mention you, even the ancient royal Lei Clan in the past had joined our Devil Race."

"What, the Lei Clan also joined your Devil Race?" Zi Chen's expression immediately changed.

The demon proudly said, "Of course, there's a very powerful powerhouse from the Lei Clan. Right now, our Devil Race is cooperating with him to subdue the Lei Clan. Let me tell you, if we succeed this time, our Devil Race will successfully subdue the Lei Clan. What do you think? Even the Lei Clan will join us, let alone you."

Zi Chen seemed to be moved by the demon's words. He asked, "Then what do I need to do?"

The demon laughed, "You don't need to do anything usually. Only when the Devil Race is in danger will we need you to help."

Zi Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll join you."

"Come with me. If you're late, you won't be able to see the good show." The demon laughed and then led Zi Chen deeper into the Devil Race.

"Lei Clan, have I already arrived in the Eastern Continent?"

Zi Chen heard from Lei Ming that the Lei Clan was located in the Eastern Continent. However, it was very mysterious and ordinary people couldn't find it.

He didn't expect that after the Devil Race's invasion, they would find the Lei Clan. Zi Chen still remembered the promise he made to the Lei Clan's powerhouse in the Holy Burial Ground. He would bring back the Lei Clan's skeleton and bury it in the Lei Clan.

For many years, Zi Chen had placed the skeleton that had turned into specks of light in a special space in the Purple Gold Gourd.

While chatting, Zi Chen learned the name of the Demon Race's Human Origin Realm expert, Mo Lisi. It seemed that he trusted Zi Chen very much, or perhaps he thought that Zi Chen was already in the palm of his hand. Mo Lisi told Zi Chen many stories about the battles between the Devil Race and the Human Race.

Originally, the two sides were naturally mortal enemies, but with the Devil Race's encampment here, the relationship between the two sides eased. Under the Devil Race's rule, although the lives of the Human Race were still worthless, at least they had some human rights.

The Devil Race no longer casually slaughtered the Human Race under their jurisdiction, but protected them by rules.

This was the Devil Race's way of survival. After all, they were fighting across realms, so it was unrealistic to want to kill all the Human Race.

They still needed the Human Race to work for them, so killing all of them was not worth the loss.

"The Thunder Clan's location is very secretive. Ordinary people simply can't find it. Fortunately, we have a member of the Thunder Clan on our side."

While speaking, Mo Lisi led Zi Chen to an even bigger mountain forest. There were many peaks in the forest, and the group flew from one peak to another before finally stopping in front of a huge peak.

The huge peak in front of them looked ordinary, and Zi Chen's Spiritual Sense didn't detect any abnormalities, but Mo Lisi said that the Thunder Clan was here.

Afterwards, Mo Lisi walked towards a stone wall on the mountain peak. Suddenly, ripples of light flickered on the stone wall, and Mo Lisi's figure disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. At the same time, he sighed in admiration at the Thunder Clan's brilliant concealment methods.

Mo Lisi reappeared and said, "Zi Chen, let's go."

This was the name Zi Chen had accidentally revealed. After saying it, he had a bad feeling and was about to start a massacre, but who would have thought that the Devil Race didn't react at all to this name.

Fifty years had passed, and even the influence of the Thunder God Temple had disappeared, let alone a mere Human Origin Realm expert like Zi Chen.

Zi Chen nodded and followed the others inside.

The inside of the mountain peak was like a completely different world. The sun was shining brightly, and birds were chirping and flowers were fragrant. However, the heaven and earth were filled with billowing Devil Qi, as well as an oppressive aura, which greatly destroyed the beautiful environment.

In this world, there were many Devil Race experts, and the weakest were at the Core Realm, while the strongest were at the Human Origin Realm.

The number of Human Origin Realm experts exceeded a hundred, and this was also the reason why Mo Lisi didn't fear Zi Chen.

If Mo Lisi's tone when speaking to Zi Chen before could be said to be amiable, then after encountering so many Devil Race experts along the way, Mo Lisi's tone became much more unyielding. Even his Core Realm experts seemed to be on equal footing with Zi Chen, who was at the Human Origin Realm.

"You all disperse, I'll take Zi Chen to see the world." Mo Lisi said indifferently.

Several Core Realm experts dispersed, and Mo Lisi followed Zi Chen to the center of this small world. This world wasn't big, but there were flashes of lightning from time to time. The whole world contained relatively pure lightning energy.

Lightning energy had a suppressive effect on Devil Qi. If an ordinary Devil Race expert came here, they would definitely suffer a great loss. Unfortunately, there were too many Devil Race experts here, and with the Thunder Clan experts leading the way, it could be said that the Thunder Clan was caught unprepared, and many of their methods were rendered useless.

After flying for more than ten miles, Zi Chen saw two groups of people confronting each other. One group was made up of ordinary humans, and each of them was filled with righteous indignation, their eyes spitting fire.

The other group was made up of Devil Race experts, and in front of them stood a young human with a complacent smile on his face, looking down at the Thunder Clan experts.

From afar, Zi Chen heard the young man speak, "Three days have passed, old man, have you thought it through? Are you going to hand over the position of Patriarch, or let all of the Thunder Clan members die with you?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, one of the Thunder Clan members shouted, "Lei Dong, have you forgotten who insisted on letting you go back then?"

"You are." The young man looked at the Thunder Clan member who spoke, and there was a trace of ridicule on his face.

"Lei Ming, humph, if it wasn't for the Patriarch, you would have died countless times. I didn't expect you to not know how to repay kindness, and even collude with the Devil Race to deal with my Thunder Clan," Lei Ming said angrily.

"Oh, you're that trash Lei Ming? Not bad, huh? I haven't seen you for many years, and you've already stepped into the Mortal Origin Realm."

Lei Dong's face was full of ridicule, but soon, his expression turned cold, "Yes, that old man did me a favor, so I came back this time to repay my kindness. As long as he gives up his position, I promise not to kill a single one of you."

The Thunder Clan experts trembled with anger, and only the Old Patriarch's face was ugly, but he was still calm.

"Lei Dong, you can be considered a genius of the Thunder Clan. If you didn't make such a huge mistake back then, we wouldn't have expelled you. How about this, if you plan to turn over a new leaf and return to the Thunder Clan, we will let bygones be bygones." The old patriarch said.

"Pfft! Old thing, don't mention what happened back then. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Don't try to curry favor with me. Just tell me, do you want to live or die?" Lei Dong said angrily.

The Old Clan Leader frowned slightly. In Lei Dong's opinion, the Old Clan Leader was in a difficult situation. He immediately sneered.

In fact, the old patriarch was thinking about a prophecy from the Thunder Clan.
