Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 953: The Nether Heaven Demon Clan
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"My goodness, Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, your vast lifespan truly offers you a great edge; you perceive matters far more profoundly than I!"
Happy Buddha Ancestor burst into hearty laughter upon hearing Buddha Flame Old Ancestor’s remarks.
Although both he and Buddha Flame Old Ancestor ranked as God King Experts and held fame across the Land of Thousands of Buddhas, their Buddhist Path garnered little true respect.
Their standing paled in comparison to the Three Supreme Buddha Sects, separated by an immense gulf.
Should they unite this time to rescue Yan Fu, it would surely stun the whole Land of Thousands of Buddhas.
By then,
Even the Saintess from the Holy Buddha Sect would be forced to yield.
"Haha, that must be my good fortune. Without encountering Happy Buddha Ancestor, how could I have learned of a second Yan Fu existing in this world?"
Buddha Flame Old Ancestor grinned widely, full of joy.
"Let’s move; we need to arrive at Jade Buddha City without delay..."
Happy Buddha Ancestor chuckled, and in a blink, the pair vanished into the void.
...
Sun Ancient Region.
High above a particular stretch of emptiness.
Ripples stirred in the space, from which four God King Experts emerged.
Leading them stood a towering figure clad in red, his brows thick and his presence overwhelming, radiating fearsome might with each gesture.
Flames surged fiercely around his entire form.
The instant he materialized, the wild blazes sweeping the nearby mountains flickered and subdued.
As though bowing to an emperor.
This imposing figure was none other than Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Trailing him came three black-robed men.
Odd markings adorned their faces, their features alien, evidently not natives of the Divine Land.
These three black-robed individuals hailed from the You Tian Demon Clan!
The You Tian Demon Clan dominated as the supreme power in the Demon World!
Thus,
Arrogance gleamed in the eyes of the three black-robed men upon their arrival, gazing upon the world with utter contempt.
Yet,
In the presence of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they displayed clear reverence.
After all, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had ventured into the You Tian Demon Clan, overpowering numerous experts single-handedly, and forged a pact with their clan leader.
"Friend Eastern Emperor, is your sought-after avatar located here?"
Inquired one of the black-robed men.
"Indeed, it ought to be right here..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi paused to sense quietly before affirming with absolute confidence.
"Then make haste and retrieve your avatar first; that way, we can proceed with the task!"
The black-robed man urged, furrowing his brow.
"Very well!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi gave a nod.
He sensed once more in silence, a fierce glint sparking in his gaze, then declared icily, "Fascinating—my avatar has been seized by another; no surprise the connection feels so faint!"
"These Divine Land natives are utterly bold, daring to occupy your avatar—they must be courting death!"
One black-robed man roared with laughter.
The remaining two black-robed men joined in the boisterous laughter.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi wielded immense power, his physique dreadfully potent, capable of slaying God Kings with effortless ease.
"Come with me..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi chuckled briefly before ripping open the void and departing swiftly.
The trio trailed right after him.
Far within the Western Desert.
In the Three Fire God Cult’s domain, amid the Monster Fire Clan.
Inside a modest cave abode, the Sun God King sat in meditation, eyes gently shut, immersed in cultivation.
The encircling Sun True Flame abruptly withdrew.
"Odd—why has the suppressed primordial spirit’s aura abruptly intensified?"
The Sun God King’s eyes snapped open, a wave of anxiety washing over him.
He rose to his feet, but before exiting the cave, the space before him rippled violently, and four men stepped forth.
"Divine King Realm!"
Spotting the four God King Experts, the Sun God King’s heart raced in terror, nearly toppling over.
Powerful as the Three Fire God Cult was, it possessed just a single God King Expert, whose location remained unknown.
At present, the Three Fire God Cult faced internal turmoil.
Now, four God King Experts had materialized in his very cave, filling him with a dire sense of doom.
"Who might you be?"
The Sun God King’s gaze darted about, abruptly identifying the red-clad man as strikingly familiar.
Wasn’t this the Eastern Emperor Taiyi whose body he had taken?
A bolt of realization struck his mind.
The red-clad man must be Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s original body.
"Disaster—the true body has arrived; whatever shall I do?"
Panic gripped the Sun God King, leaving him frozen in fear, his face a mask of desperation. At merely Supreme God Sovereign level, bereft even of his trusty Real Sun Furnace, how could he possibly face God King Experts?
"Who are you, daring to seize control of my avatar!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi positioned himself with hands folded behind his back, radiating an air of supreme contempt for all under heaven.
He held back from slaying the Sun God King at once, as anyone capable of taking over his avatar undoubtedly possessed notable strength.
"Does my identity even matter? Even if your true body stood here, would revealing it save me from death?"
The Sun God King gave a wry smile.
"You face two options: perish immediately, or reveal your divine sense for me to probe your memories, and I'll let you live!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi declared icily.
The Sun God King’s breath quickened while he fixed a grave gaze on Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Suddenly, he spotted the trio of black-robed figures trailing this foe, their features bizarre and strikingly like the fabled cultivators of the Demon World.
"You... are you Demon World cultivators?"
The Sun God King cried out.
"Indeed!"
One black-robed man nodded frostily, flicking out a crimson tongue to leisurely lick his lips, his gaze gleaming with savage hunger.
The Sun God King trembled violently.
He had never imagined Eastern Emperor Taiyi hailed from the Demon World.
Observing these three black-robed God King Experts with their odd looks and menacing faces, a realization flashed through the Sun God King’s thoughts.
"Do you belong to the You Tian Demon Clan?"
He ventured cautiously.
From perusing ancient records, the Sun God King knew of certain powers in the Demon World.
And the mightiest among them was the You Tian Demon Clan.
"Hmph, not entirely ignorant. Friend Eastern Emperor, better not let this fool live!"
A black-robed man scoffed.
"I’ll open my divine sense for you to inspect!"
At the black-robed man’s words, the Sun God King’s legs gave way, forcing him to drop to his knees instantly.
The You Tian Demon Clan was notoriously brutal, wielding strange divine abilities; they had once assaulted the Divine Land, unleashing colossal havoc.
Even restored to full Divine King Realm might, the Sun God King wouldn’t dare confront the You Tian Demon Clan.
Courage failed him utterly.
His ethereal primordial spirit floated out from his form.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi pointed a finger, pressing it against the Sun God King’s primordial spirit.
The Sun God King shut his eyes, resembling a helpless sacrifice awaiting the blade.
At that moment.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s avatar regained its composure.
The avatar remained silent, positioned silently nearby.
After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi withdrew his finger, his face taking on a curious cast.
"Friend Eastern Emperor, discover anything useful?"
One black-robed man inquired.
"Quite rewarding—there’s this fellow named Supreme God Sovereign who snagged a piece of the Time River..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi revealed gradually.
"Supreme God Sovereign?"
One black-robed man snorted suddenly, "Mere Supreme God Sovereign Realm trash, weak as an insect!"
"They say this Time River is an extraordinary treasure that sparked war among the Sacred Land Divines!"
Another black-robed man noted.
"I fear no Supreme God Sovereign; prioritize our task, hunt him later!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi stated.
"May I leave now?"
The Sun God King begged.
"Begone—I’ll let your pathetic life slide for today..."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi flicked his hand, batting the Sun God King’s primordial spirit aside.
