Chapter 2153: Chapter 2154: The Demon Tide Descends!
"Where are you going!"
Elder Huang saw that Ye Qiu’s soul was still alive, and as he reached out his palm, an invisible force attempted to grasp the Taihuang Bell.
At the same time, two other elders at the half-step Heavenly Realm had already reached the back of the Hongyuan Holy Son. Seeing that the Hongyuan Holy Son was not in mortal danger, they were relieved.
Ye Qiu desperately urged the Taihuang Bell, even causing his soul to ignite.
He was risking everything; if he couldn’t escape, he would have to endure the wrath of a Heavenly Realm expert.
The outcome was almost foreseeable; once captured, who knows how the Hongyuan Holy Son and the others might torture him.
So, he recklessly activated the Taihuang Bell.
The Taihuang Bell transformed into the size of dust, moving at such an extremely fast speed that it was invisible, yet Ye Qiu knew Elder Huang was keeping a close watch on him. In the face of a Heavenly Realm expert, it would not be easy to escape unnoticed. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Moreover, the distance between them was not too far to begin with.
Whish.
Soul Power burst forth again, and the speed of the Taihuang Bell increased another notch. However, Ye Qiu’s soul grew increasingly weak and began to fade.
Elder Huang’s force rapidly closed from a hundred meters to fifty, thirty, twenty, ten meters, five meters...
It seemed he was about to be caught.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from above the cosmic abyss cliff, and Ye Qiu felt a sharp aura descend from the sky, severing Elder Huang’s force.
Ye Qiu didn’t have time to think, only feeling that the voice was somewhat familiar. Then, his whole soul seemed like a candle burning to its end, leaving only a tiny flame.
His Soul Power was weakened to its historical lowest.
His consciousness grew increasingly blurry.
The sudden appearance of a figure forced Elder Huang to stop because this person had an aura equivalent to his, both at the Heavenly Realm level.
"Zhuang Miao Shan!"
Seeing it was Zhuang Miao Shan, Elder Huang was taken aback. If it was before Zhuang Miao Shan entered the Heavenly Realm, he wouldn’t have recognized him. After all, Elder Huang had long been a powerful Heavenly Realm expert, and he generally paid little attention to even some veteran Supreme Saints.
Moreover, Zhuang Miao Shan was originally just a Loose Cultivator with no strong sect to support him, not worth noticing.
It wasn’t until Zhuang Miao Shan entered the Heavenly Realm and clashed with the Taiyi Divine Sect, Donghua Sect, and the Shadow three major forces, that his name spread in the ancestral land.
The world only then realized that there was another Heavenly Realm power in the ancestral land, and it was a Loose Cultivator.
After Zhuang Miao Shan advanced to the Heavenly Realm and fought several other Heavenly Realm experts, he could even leave alive. This kind of strength was impressive, and no one dared to underestimate him.
What was surprising, however, was why Zhuang Miao Shan appeared here, he should be in the ancestral land.
Elder Huang and the others had no idea that Zhuang Miao Shan had actually accompanied them to the Galactic Road with the intention of stopping them from killing Ye Qiu.
However, Zhuang Miao Shan was still a step late, as Ye Qiu couldn’t rival Elder Huang, even with the Taihuang Bell, it couldn’t ensure his safety.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he intervened, interrupting Elder Huang’s attack so that Ye Qiu wasn’t caught.
Zhuang Miao Shan had barely escaped death and entered the Heavenly Realm. After coming out, he believed his disciple had already died. At that time, Zhuang Miao Shan deeply hated the Jiu Jue Supreme Saint; it was Jiu Jue who rendered their master and disciple in such misery.
So he immediately went to seek revenge on Jiu Jue, but the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Divine Sect intervened, thwarting him. Subsequently, the Donghua Sect and Shadow also pursued him, prompting Zhuang Miao Shan to begin his frenzied guerilla warfare.
Until hiding in the Donghua Sect, he heard that his disciple Ye Fentian wasn’t dead; he was on the Galactic Road, and it was extremely likely that Ye Fentian was Earth’s Ye Qiu. This news elated Zhuang Miao Shan, who decided to seek out Ye Qiu.
He then prepared to follow the Donghua Sect powerhouses into the Galactic Road, but halfway, he found Elder Huang’s group slightly ahead of the Donghua Sect’s people. Zhuang Miao Shan decided to follow Elder Huang and the others, becoming the first to reach the Galactic Road.
Upon arrival, just as he was about to meet his disciple, he discovered that his disciple was nearly killed by Elder Huang.
Zhuang Miao Shan was extremely angry; as a Supreme Saint, he failed to protect Ye Qiu, and now, having stepped into the Heavenly Realm, he still couldn’t protect him.
With a dark face, Zhuang Miao Shan decided to vent all his anger, and his target was Elder Huang and the others.
"Touch my disciple, and you all will die."
Zhuang Miao Shan’s expression was somewhat insane. His previous crazy acts had earned him the title of madman, and now he once again displayed his madness.
Instantly, the two Heavenly Realm powers clashed.
The two collided continuously in the sky, each strike akin to planets colliding, with explosive power capable of burning the sky and boiling the sea, destroying stars.
The Hongyuan Holy Son’s expression was unpleasant. If Zhuang Miao Shan hadn’t suddenly appeared and interrupted Elder Huang’s power, Ye Qiu would now be captured alive.
It was just a tiny bit off.
Damn it!
Thinking about how he had submitted before Ye Qiu just now, the Hongyuan Holy Son was fuming—how could this guy have such great luck!
"Two elders, Elder Huang can’t disengage, may the two elders continue to pursue that Ye Qiu. You must find him."
The Hongyuan Holy Son placed his hope on the two half-step Heavenly Realm elders. They glanced at the sky, where the real Heavenly Realm battle was taking place—they couldn’t intervene easily. If they did, it might create chaos. So they nodded and all leapt into the cosmic abyss to chase Ye Qiu.
Whoosh...
A small boat flying through the air was speeding towards the cosmic abyss, carrying Beasthunter, Luo Fu, Jin Shanshun, and Qin Feng.
All four wore slightly anxious expressions, unsure if they might be too late.
"What a strong energy fluctuation..."
Both Beasthunter and Luo Fu sensed a powerful and terrifying aura just above the cosmic abyss, wondering why such an aura would appear.
In no time, the four arrived nearby, seeing the Hongyuan Holy Son, Taiyi Holy Son, and Stone Demon Lord all standing on the ground, with two indistinguishable figures fighting in the sky.
"Where is the young master? Where is the young master?" Jin Shanshun looked around but found no trace of Ye Qiu.
"Young master..." Qin Feng’s face was full of guilt; if it weren’t for him, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have come alone to risk himself.
Soon, the two figures in the sky rapidly descended into the cosmic abyss, fighting with surging energy smashing against the stone walls of the abyss.
At this moment, the two half-step Heavenly Realm elders who had jumped into the cosmic abyss rushed up, looking flustered. As the Hongyuan Holy Son was about to ask if they caught Ye Qiu, the two elders grabbed him and said, "Quick, go!"
The Hongyuan Holy Son was stunned.
Both Beasthunter and Luo Fu felt a chill, perceiving a great terror descending, and without a word, turned the craft around to leave.
Both Taiyi Holy Son and Stone Demon Lord also raced away from the place, escaping rapidly.
At this point, both Elder Huang and Zhuang Miao Shan had to pause and look down.
Their expressions grew serious.
One by one, figures climbed swiftly from the cosmic abyss, from one or two to ten, twenty, a hundred, a thousand, tens of thousands.
The number multiplied rapidly, densely packed, and in an instant, it was impossible to count how many abyss demons appeared.
The demon tide was here!
