Chapter 1170

"You want something from me." The Princess raised her eyebrows and looked at Zi Chen.

At this moment, the Princess thought of the unfair deal she made with Zi Chen at the Holy Burial Ground a thousand years ago.

However, the ancient castle where they made the deal had been in the hands of the Demon Clan for a thousand years. Why would Zi Chen want it back?

Moreover, this was the territory of the Demon Clan. What confidence did Zi Chen have to ask for it here?

The Princess was puzzled.

Zi Chen didn't know what the Princess was thinking. He stood opposite her and said calmly, "It's not you. It's an Emptiness Realm existence from the Demon Clan. He stole my sword stele when I was in the middle stage of the Human Realm."

There were a total of nine sword steles that could form the Nine Extremes Formation. When Zi Chen went to the Thunder Clan, he lost one of the sword steles. Now, there were only eight left. The power of the Nine Extremes Formation was greatly reduced. Therefore, Zi Chen came to ask for the sword stele before going through the tribulation.

"An Emptiness Realm existence stole your sword stele." The Princess looked at Zi Chen in surprise.

At this moment, the surrounding Earth Elementals were also shocked.

The Emptiness Realm existence put down his identity and stole his sword stele. His original intention was to capture or kill Zi Chen. However, he didn't expect that Zi Chen, who was only in the middle stage of the Human Realm, could escape from the hands of an Emptiness Realm expert.

"That's right. It was when I first met you, Princess. At that time, your Emptiness Realm existence was chasing after me."

Zi Chen explained calmly, "As for the sword stele, it's an inheritance treasure. It's very important to me. I must take it with me."

The Princess asked again, "Is it the Sword Sect's treasure, the Sword Stele?"

Zi Chen corrected her, "It's indeed that sword stele. However, it's not the Sword Sect's treasure. It's mine."

As he spoke, Zi Chen raised his head and glanced at a certain spot in the void.

The old bull that was pulling the carriage suddenly snorted coldly. Two streams of flames spurted out from his nostrils.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding space. It was as if some kind of restriction was suddenly triggered. The Devil Sect City in front of Zi Chen disappeared in front of him. The Earth Elementals around him also disappeared in an instant.

In the field, other than Zi Chen and Old Cow, there was only the Princess on the opposite side.

This was an illusory space created by an Emptiness Realm Expert with the help of heaven and earth. Zi Chen had seen it many years ago, so he was not surprised.

Old Cow was also very calm because he was beside Zi Chen and had followed Zi Chen for a thousand years. After seeing how powerful Zi Chen was, he had a confidence that was close to blind worship for Zi Chen.

Princess looked at Zi Chen, and Zi Chen looked at Princess. The two of them looked at each other calmly.

Zi Chen's calmness could be said to be very calm, which made Princess a little unhappy. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "Since you left the sword stele behind when you ran away in a sorry state, it naturally belongs to us. Now that so many years have passed, what right do you have to ask for the sword stele? Or rather, what right do you have to think that we will give you the sword stele? Where does your confidence come from?"

Princess wanted to use these words to embarrass or embarrass Zi Chen, but she did not know Zi Chen well. Zi Chen had run away too many times throughout his journey. If he could not win, he would run away. There was nothing embarrassing about this. Hence, he replied calmly, "My confidence naturally comes from myself. I think I have the right to take back or take back what belongs to me."

Princess said, "Since you took the risk to come here, it seems like you already know what happened to the Wuji Sect. However, we have been fighting with the Wuji Sect for a thousand years. Do you think you can successfully take back what you want?"

"What happened to the Wuji Sect?" Zi Chen was puzzled.

"You signed a peace agreement with a big force that can last for a thousand years. Now that a thousand years have passed, the Wuji Sect's Longhu Sovereign is about to undergo the Thunder Tribulation of the Laws. Hence, some forces may have some tricks up their sleeves."

"When is Longhu going to undergo the tribulation?" Zi Chen stared at Princess.

"It has already caused a change in heaven and earth. I reckon that he will really undergo the tribulation in a few days."

"There are only nine Thunder Tribulations of the Laws. It can be passed in less than a day. Why does Longhu need a few days to undergo the tribulation?"

"Because he is Longhu Sovereign, an extremely extraordinary existence. When he is preparing to undergo the tribulation, heaven and earth will sense it in advance."

Now, Zi Chen was obviously surrounded by the Emptiness Realm experts, but he was still so calm. Princess looked at Zi Chen and said, "You should be worried about yourself now, not Longhu. According to my observation, you seem to have not broken through to the Earth Prime Realm. Although this bull is extraordinary, it is only at the Earth Prime Realm. We have many Earth Prime Realm experts here."

Hearing Princess's words, the old bull snorted to express its disdain.

Zi Chen raised his head and looked at a certain place in the void. Then, he looked back at Princess.

Princess said indifferently, "You, a human, should show some sincerity if you want to take something from the Demon Race."

After saying that, Princess's figure disappeared. She had hidden herself in the darkness.

Immediately after, there was an additional gust of dense killing intent in this illusory space.

Zi Chen had already predicted this when he came. He had fought with Princess many times. He knew how scheming she was and how difficult and terrifying it was to deal with.

As long as she had the chance, she would definitely kill him.

Zi Chen's body suddenly released an inexplicable aura. This aura was very powerful. In an instant, Zi Chen advanced to the Earth Prime Realm. Then, he raised his hand and slashed at the void with his finger sword.

The void was cut open by Zi Chen's finger. It was like a piece of cloth being torn apart. It spread upward until it reached the place where Zi Chen had been looking at.

There stood a Demon. Zi Chen's energy ray stopped at the center of the other's brows. At this moment, his face was full of shock and astonishment.

The illusory world disappeared. Demon Sect City appeared in front of Zi Chen again. The Earth Primes that had just disappeared also appeared.

Their expressions were undoubtedly full of shock.

At this moment, with Zi Chen as the center, an oppressive aura enveloped a radius of hundreds of miles. Black clouds suddenly appeared in the clear sky. In the blink of an eye, the sky became pitch-black. Bolts of lightning surged.

After doing all this, Zi Chen turned around like lightning. Light flickered between his fingers as he pointed forward.

At the end of the light was the center of Princess's brows.

Zi Chen's actions were simple and casual. However, they broke through the Void Realm and restrained Princess.

Princess's unchanged expression changed after Zi Chen easily broke through the Void Realm. At this moment, seeing the tribulation cloud above her head and the finger sword between her brows, her expression kept changing. She asked, "You haven't broken through yet. How can you use the power of the Earth Prime Realm?"

Cold light flickered between Zi Chen's fingers. He didn't answer her question. "I'm just here to take back what belongs to me."

"Stop."

"Don't be rude to Princess."

At the side, a few Earth Prime Realm cultivators stepped forward and shouted.

"Get lost." Old Bull also roared.

Zi Chen said indifferently, "Give me back what belongs to me."

Princess's changing expression gradually calmed down. A mocking smile slowly appeared on her lips. "Do you really think you can restrain me?"

Princess tilted her head and dodged the attack. Then, she grabbed Zi Chen's wrist with her jade-like hand. The power of rules surged above her jade-like hand.

After a thousand years, Princess, who was extraordinarily talented, had broken through.

On Zi Chen's hand, the power of the Rules of Destruction surged. He didn't dodge and allowed Princess to grab his wrist. Then, he punched towards Princess's chest. This was the beginning of a combo attack.

In the sky, dark clouds covered the sky. A terrifying pressure swept across and thousands of lightning bolts shot in all directions. A few Earth Prime Realm cultivators felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their hearts. Even their breathing became difficult. The entire Devil Doctrine City fell into panic.

Seeing that the princess was locked in battle with Zi Chen, they wanted to stop them, but they didn't know where to start.

In terms of rules, Princess didn't have an advantage. Zi Chen's Rules of Destruction could break any rules in the world. In terms of combat power, Princess was one of the best in the Devil Clan, but she was naturally much weaker than Zi Chen, who had three pages of the Heavenly Book.

As soon as the close combat began, the princess complained incessantly. That was because Zi Chen's close combat style was close combat. However, as a princess of the royal family, the princess's status was extremely noble. How could she fight Zi Chen like that?

Just like the battle in the Ancient Flame Castle, Princess was entangled by Zi Chen and could only keep retreating to increase the distance between them.

At that time, only the two of them were fighting. Now, not only were there Earth Prime Realm cultivators around, but there were also many Devils in the distance.

She frowned slightly. She couldn't stand Zi Chen's fighting style.

The tribulation thunder in the sky showed that Zi Chen hadn't really gone through the tribulation yet. However, he was using the power of Earth Prime Realm cultivators. Such a scene was enough to shock people. It made people feel that Zi Chen hadn't broken through for a thousand years not because his talent wasn't good enough, but because he had been searching for more power.

Below, banging sounds could be heard. Princess was gradually unable to hold on. The Emptiness Realm cultivator in the sky couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Stop. Here's the thing."

He flipped his hand and a sword stele with layers of seals appeared. It was the one that was lost.

He threw the sword stele to Zi Chen.

Zi Chen exchanged a palm with Princess. His body swayed, and he caught the sword stele and retreated.

Princess stood in the distance, panting. She looked at Zi Chen with a cold gaze. "Since you have taken it, it's impossible for you to leave."

Zi Chen sneered. "If I want to leave, no one can stop me. Unless … you want me to go through the tribulation here."

After Zi Chen finished speaking, everyone's expression changed drastically. Even the Emptiness Realm cultivator frowned. If he went through the tribulation here, the Devil Sect City would be destroyed in a day.

Princess gritted her teeth. She looked very unwilling. She raised her head and looked at the Emptiness Realm cultivator. It was as if she was ordering him to kill the enemy.

However, the Emptiness Realm cultivator didn't seem to notice this. He was unmoved.

Princess was extremely angry. She was even furious. However, after a while, her anger was suppressed. She regained her noble and cold demeanor.

She looked at Zi Chen and said, "Okay, you can leave. We're also going to the Wuji Sect. It's on the way."

After saying that, she walked into the chariot without any explanation.

Zi Chen couldn't help but touch his nose. He didn't know what she was up to.

In the carriage, Princess was indignant. At the same time, she was very dissatisfied with Emptiness Realm cultivator's actions. If she had known about this, she would have given the sword stele to the Sword Sect in advance instead of keeping it by her side.
