Chapter 976

The figure of light stood in the air with its back facing the crowd. Its deep eyes seemed to pierce through space and landed on the Lightning Divine Hall that had disappeared.

The eight Earth Yuan Stage experts that had fled earlier had all returned. Although their clothes were in a sorry state, their lives were not in danger. They then respectfully bowed towards the figure of light.

The Mortal Yuan Stage experts that had rushed over were greatly shocked by this scene. The eight of them had already revealed their Earth Yuan Stage strength. This kind of expert was already a peak existence in the Sky Martial Continent. As long as one of them appeared, they would be able to establish a huge power in the Sky Martial Continent.

However, at this moment, these experts were bowing towards the figure of light with a humble attitude. Clearly, the other party was an even stronger existence. Everyone guessed that this person's cultivation was either at the peak of the Earth Yuan Stage or the rarely seen Heavenly Yuan Stage.

Zi Chen looked towards the sky, his mind completely stunned. In that instant, he felt as if his mind was completely blank.

The appearance of the Lightning Divine Hall had sent the Earth Yuan Stage experts running with just two strikes. However, he did not expect that a Heavenly Yuan Stage expert would appear so quickly.

Originally, Zi Chen was still secretly delighted that he was the number one Mortal Yuan Stage expert. However, at this moment, seeing the nine people in the sky, Zi Chen knew how insignificant he was.

Wanting to obtain something from the Lightning Divine Hall was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

The appearance of the Lightning Divine Hall and these experts made Zi Chen recognize reality. He no longer had any extravagant hopes.

In mid-air, the glowing figure pointed out a finger, causing the space to explode with a loud bang as a gigantic black hole appeared. The instant the black hole appeared, the glowing figure entered it in a flash. The eight Earthly Yuan Stage practitioners paused for a moment before following closely behind.

After the experts left, discussions could be heard from the surroundings.

"Lightning Divine Hall, it must be the Lightning Divine Hall."

"Rumor has it that the Lightning Divine Hall only appears once every ten thousand years. I never expected to see it here."

"It's as vast as the might of the heavens. Rumor has it that the Lightning Divine Hall has the secret to becoming a God. It might be true."

Zi Chen and the Devil Ape looked at each other, then turned around and returned to the city.

In Lifire City, the panicked crowd slowly calmed down. However, very quickly, the news regarding the appearance of the Lightning Divine Hall began to spread throughout the city.

First, it was Lifire City, then Blazing Fire City. Not long after, the news had spread throughout the entire Soaring Dragon City. It could be foreseen that in the near future, news regarding the Lightning Divine Hall would spread throughout the entire Martial Sky Continent.

At that time, many experts would gather in this area.

Seeing Bing 'er again, her expression had returned to normal, but there was still some fear in her eyes. Seeing Zi Chen, she asked, "What happened?"

Zi Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing. You don't have to worry. Do you still want to go shopping?"

Bing 'er shook her head and said, "No, I'm tired. I want to sleep."

"Then let's go back to the inn."

The three of them stayed in Lifire City. A few days later, the news of the Lightning Divine Hall had completely spread. After that, numerous experts descended upon this place.

Originally, they could see Human Origin Stage cultivators on the streets, but now there were even more of them. Sometimes, they could even sense the aura of Earth Origin Stage cultivators.

The Earth Origin Stage was already beyond the level of a normal human. Both its strength and senses were far beyond that of a normal human being. Zi Chen had been familiarizing himself with the power of the Human Origin Stage during this period of time, so he didn't go out. The Demon Ape also rarely went out.

As for Bing 'er and Little Baihu, they were wandering around.

On the seventh day of Zi Chen's stay in the city, the number of experts in the city had increased. Zi Chen no longer had any extravagant hopes of obtaining anything from the Lightning Divine Hall. There was no longer any meaning in staying here, so it was time to leave.

The three of them directly headed for Soaring Dragon City.

Soaring Dragon City was under the control of the Huo Family. After arriving, Zi Chen retracted his aura and changed his appearance. The Demon Ape's aura and appearance had also changed.

The teleportation array of Soaring Dragon City was guarded by experts. However, they didn't make things difficult for Zi Chen's group. After paying a sufficient amount of Yuan Stones, the three of them smoothly stepped into the teleportation array and headed straight for the southern region.

The three of them arrived at the southern region. During this period of time, they used several days to find the teleportation array to return to the Bedlam Lands.

Ten days later, they arrived at the Great Desolate Land.

The Great Desolate Land belonged to the Demon Race. There were very few human cultivators, and even if there were, they were equivalent to slaves. In the Great Desolate Land, humans were food for the Demon Race.

Along the way, the three of them saw many tragic scenes.

"These Demon Race are too cruel." Bing 'er couldn't bear it.

"The Great Desolate Land is not small. Are we going to just cross it?" The Demon Ape asked.

Zi Chen said, "No need. There must be a teleportation array to the Bedlam Lands in the Great Desolate Land."

"But how are we going to find it?"

Zi Chen said with a smile, "We can't find it, but the Demon Race can."

"You mean to go to the Demon City?"

Along the way, they would also punish the Demon Race. In the Demon Race's threats, they had mentioned the Demon City.

"Humans, there are humans here."

"There's also a human woman. Capture her."

The three of them had just flown for dozens of miles when they encountered the Demon Race. It was a small team of eight Demon Race members. When they saw Zi Chen's group, their eyes lit up and they flew towards them.

"Kill the men, leave the women alive."

The eight of them flew over with extreme speed. Among the eight of them, only one was at the Core Realm.

The Demon Ape didn't need to attack. Just the powerful aura released by the Demon Race member was enough to shock the team.

"Lord, Lord, please spare us." The eight Demon Race members kowtowed to the Demon Ape.

"Tell me, where is the Demon City?" The Demon Ape asked coldly.

"Demon City." The Core Realm Demon Race member was stunned.

"Why, you don't know?"

"I know, I know." The Demon Race member quickly nodded and pointed to the direction of the Demon City.

"It's not far from here. Scram." The Demon Ape said coldly.

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Lord."

The eight Demon Race members quickly nodded and flew away. However, they were confused. They didn't understand why the Demon Race's Lord didn't even know about the Demon City.

"Let's go."

The three of them continued to travel towards the Demon City.

Along the way, they encountered more and more Demon Race members. However, under the Demon Ape's purposeful aura, no one dared to cause trouble.

The three of them successfully arrived at the Demon City. Ignoring the surprised gazes of the Demon Race members, they flew into the city.

"Swoosh." "Swoosh."

As soon as the three of them entered, several figures of light appeared. The figures of light turned into Demon Race members, surrounded by the aura of Peak Primal Core Realm.

The leader of the group was of Mortal Origin Realm.

The appearance of a Mortal Origin Realm member as soon as they arrived was enough to prove the strength of the Demon Race in the Wasteland. This was something the Bedlam couldn't compare with.

"Flying is forbidden in the Demon City. Don't you know?" The Mortal Origin Realm Demon Race member asked coldly.

The Demon Ape looked at him and said, "You should know where the teleportation array to the Bedlam Lands is."

The three of them entered with the intention of asking for the location of the teleportation array. Normal people wouldn't know, but Core Realm guards should know.

"Bastard, didn't you hear what I asked you?"

The Demon Race member was furious and scolded the Demon Ape, even though he could feel the Mortal Origin Realm aura around the Demon Ape.

A cold light flashed in the Demon Ape's eyes. He raised his hand and shot out a black light.

"Bang."

The black light hit the Demon Race member. With a loud bang, the Demon Race member was sent flying and fell to the ground.

The surrounding guards and the Demon Race members on the ground were dumbfounded. What kind of strength was this to defeat a Mortal Origin Realm Demon Race member in one hit?

Zi Chen stood aside and didn't say anything. The Demon Ape looked at the second Demon Race member and asked, "Tell me, where is the teleportation array to the Bedlam Lands?"

Being stared at by the Demon Ape, the Demon Race member was terrified. He subconsciously looked into the distance.

"Who are you? How dare you behave so atrociously in the Demon City!" With a cold shout, rays of light flew over from the distance.

Among these rays of light, there were Core Realm Demons and Mortal Origin Realm Demons. There were many of them. These were the guards of the Demon City.

Zi Chen and the other two were soon surrounded by the Demon Race members. A Mortal Origin Realm Demon Race member shouted, "You dare to bring a human to the Demon City? You Apes are getting bolder and bolder."

"My Lord, he is not one of us Apes." Suddenly, an old voice sounded from below.

Following the voice, an old Ape walked out. The Demon City had its rules. He didn't fly up. Instead, he said to Zi Chen and the Demon Ape, "Long time no see, my two friends."

"You know him?" The Mortal Origin Realm guard looked at the Elder Ape.

The Elder Ape nodded and said, "They are the ones who suppressed the Demon Race hundreds of years ago and made an agreement with us."

"It's them." A cold light flashed in the Mortal Origin Realm guard's eyes.

Many years ago, many Demon Race members entered the Ancient Beast World to drive all humans out. Unexpectedly, a few powerful humans appeared out of nowhere. Not only did they fail to drive the humans out, they were almost driven out by the humans. In the end, both sides reconciled.

This was a humiliation to the Demon Race.

As a Mortal Origin Realm Demon Race member, this Demon Race member shouldn't know about such trivial matters. However, one of the Demon Race members Zi Chen killed was his younger brother. Back then, his younger brother was only a Mid Core Realm Demon Race member. He was a genius and extremely powerful.

It was said that he was killed in a one-on-one battle with a human. As the elder brother, he didn't believe it. How could a human be a match for a Demon Race in a one-on-one battle?

"That's the two of them. But they entered the Ancient Road of Trials," the Elder Ape said.

"The Ancient Road of Trials." The Mortal Origin Realm Demon Race member's expression changed.

Anyone who had successfully walked out of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Ancient Road of the Human Origin Layer.

However, this was the Demon Race's base camp. There were many strong cultivators here. He shouted, "So what? You're courting death if you come here and cause trouble."

"Cause trouble?" The Demon Ape glanced at him and said coldly, "I'm only here to ask for directions."

"Asking for directions requires you to break into the Demon City. Asking for directions requires you to fight in the Demon City. Humph, you're obviously looking down on us Demon Race and the Demon City," the Demon Race member said loudly. His voice spread everywhere.

After the other party finished speaking, the atmosphere in the surroundings became much more oppressive.

The Demon Ape shook his head and said, "I'm only here to ask for directions. I don't want to fight. But since you think my attitude is bad, I'll show you what a bad attitude is."

With that, the Demon Ape rushed toward the Demon Race member.
