Chapter 1696 - 1484: Abyss City (Part 2)

"Go!"

Haotian suddenly thrust his hands forward, and that brilliant Buddha Seal headed straight for the Nine Heavens Meteor Fall.

"Swallowing Heaven Seal?"

Ye Guichen looked at the Swallowing Heaven Seal in front of Haotian, a look of confusion on his face.

"Why does Haotian have the Swallowing Heaven Seal? Isn't the Swallowing Heaven Seal supposed to be a unique heritage?"

Ye Guichen focused closely on observing the Swallowing Heaven Seal in Haotian's hand and soon discovered a trace of something unusual.

"This Swallowing Heaven Seal seems to contain only a sliver of the Buddha-nature of the original Swallowing Heaven Seal, not enough to call it a true Swallowing Heaven Seal. It seems the Demon Saint gave it to him as a life-preserving item, usable only once."

"Unexpectedly, Haotian isn't entirely ruthless. To think he would have such a selfless spirit for the Demon Clan."

Ye Guichen looked on from afar, feeling somewhat moved by the scene.

Above Abyss City, the Swallowing Heaven Seal shone brightly.

The moment they touched, the two meteor hammers were devoured by the Swallowing Heaven Seal, leaving only a rotating Buddha Seal in the air.

"Ah! My Nine Heavens Hammer!"

From a distance, Wang Hui suddenly felt his connection with the Nine Heavens Hammer forcibly severed and couldn't help but feel anxious.

The Nine Heavens Hammer was the supreme treasure passed down from his master, having reached the level of a sixth-grade Immortal Artifact, a grade higher than Liu Bai's Peach Wood Sword.

Furthermore, his Cultivation Technique was closely linked to this Nine Heavens Hammer.

It was by relying on the Nine Heavens Hammer that Wang Hui made a name for himself in this trial. Yet now, unable to sense his Nine Heavens Hammer, returning to the sect would mean more than just facing the sect's evaluation; it would also mean enduring his master's endless wrath, which was truly terrifying.

Wang Hui looked gloomily at the Swallowing Heaven Seal before him, his eyes seemingly about to bleed.

"Wang Hui, come back!"

At this moment, Hua Qing's voice drifted over from afar.

"Senior Brother Hua, my Nine Heavens Hammer!"

Wang Hui looked at Hua Qing, speaking angrily.

"Your Nine Heavens Hammer hasn't disappeared, only been swallowed by the Swallowing Heaven Seal before us. Once we destroy this Swallowing Heaven Seal, your Nine Heavens Hammer will naturally return to you."

Hua Qing explained as he looked at the Swallowing Heaven Seal in the air.

"Junior Brother Liu, why not help Junior Brother Wang?"

Hua Qing shifted his words, calmly looking at Liu Bai.

"Alright!"

Liu Bai uttered a single word before his figure soared, arriving beside Wang Hui with the speed of lightning, coldly gazing at the Swallowing Heaven Seal.

"Sword rise!"

Liu Bai uttered two words, and then an overwhelming sword momentum erupted from the ground, enveloping Liu Bai.

In the eyes of the onlookers, Liu Bai seemed like a gentleman of the sword, his azure robe swaying gently in the breeze, countless Sword Qi patiently awaiting his command like obedient children.

"Go!"

With a command, the Peach Wood Sword behind Liu Bai trembled lightly, shooting forth like a stream of light, transforming into a sword shadow that directly struck the Swallowing Heaven Seal.

"Crack!"

The Swallowing Heaven Seal in mid-air seemed to suffer a heavy blow, making a crisp sound as it instantly dissolved into nothingness, dispersing in the air.

Within the Sealing Immortal Array, Haotian felt as though seriously injured, unable to support himself any longer, and collapsed straight down.

"Nine Heavens Hammer! My Nine Heavens Hammer!"

Beside him, Wang Hui saw the Swallowing Heaven Seal broken, his expression filled with joy, and rushed forward to grasp his Nine Heavens Hammer tightly in his hands.

"Unexpectedly! We of the Demon Clan cannot escape this cursed fate!"

Haotian's heart was filled with unwillingness, looking sadly towards the hidden sect, his expression desolate.

"Haha! Well done, Junior Brother Liu!"

From a distance, Hua Qing saw the Demon Clan already in disarray and flickered directly from the floating city to Abyss City.

"Do not resist! Becoming slaves to the Immortals is the honor of you Demon Clan."

Hua Qing looked down at the fallen Haotian, like a Divine King ruling the world.

"Bah!"

"Trying to make us demons your slaves? A hundred years ago you failed, and a hundred years later it's still impossible!"

The surrounding great demons all spat, glaring viciously at Hua Qing.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Suddenly, something flashed in Hua Qing's hand, and a distant great demon seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, then was controlled by a mighty force, being drawn inexorably towards Hua Qing's hand.

Hua Qing clamped the demon's throat with force, and with a cracking sound, the demon was instantly killed, discarded by Hua Qing like garbage.

The demons below saw Hua Qing so casually killing the Demon Clan that their eyes reddened, glaring at Hua Qing, but not daring to act.

They knew that acting now meant certain death. Before absolute strength, any struggle was a futile sacrifice; even their most trusted young master of the Demon Clan had already been defeated.

How could their paltry strength possibly compete?

"You Demon Clan were born to be slaves."

"Do not dream of resistance, for even your Demon Clan Saint Lord has been sealed away by us within the hidden sect. How can mere shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Demon Clan contend against us?"

"You'd better obediently accept the arrangement of fate, or what awaits you is endless purgatory."

Hua Qing looked around at the Demon Clan with pride, as if they were already within his grasp.

The demons below, listening to Hua Qing's words, became despondent one by one.

"Indeed, besides the Demon Clan Saint, who else can save us?"

"Seize these demons for me and bind them to the humans. I want to take them back to the Immortal Sect!"

Hua Qing, seeing the fate of the Demon Clan, ordered those on the floating city.

"Wait! Who said the Demon Clan is without anyone!"

Suddenly, a lone, cold voice resonated, carrying endless fury.

From the moment Hua Qing began speaking, Ye Guichen had been incensed. No one is born a slave; everyone has the right to control their own life, to enjoy the rights of life.

And now, Hua Qing assumed the demons should naturally be enslaved by the Immortals, something Ye Guichen could not endure, especially since his mother, and even his own blood, contained demon ancestry.

By that logic, wouldn't Ye Guichen also be an Immortal's slave?

I, Ye Guichen, have no habit of being someone else's slave!

"Who?"

Hua Qing clearly didn't expect anyone to dare speak for the Demon Clan at this moment, and his curiosity was piqued.

Ye Guichen stood with his hands clasped behind his back, arrogantly on the floating city.

"Bang!"

Ye Guichen stomped, his figure tracing a perfect arc towards Abyss City, his speed breathtaking.

"You are... Ye....."

"How is this possible!!"

Haotian felt a twinge of familiarity upon hearing the voice. As he saw Ye Guichen approach, disbelief clouded his mind.

Thinking of all he'd done at Netherworld Mountain, his emotions became complex and conflicted as he looked at Ye Guichen.

"Who are you?"

Hua Qing teased as he looked at Ye Guichen before him, asking softly.

"I am the Demon Clan Saint Lord!"

Ye Guichen looked at Hua Qing, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Demon Clan Saint Lord?"

"You, a mere human cultivator with not a trace of demon aura, claiming to be the Demon Clan Saint Lord."

"Do you take us for fools!"

Hua Qing was infuriated upon seeing Ye Guichen's flippant gaze.

"Ye Guichen, just leave."

Haotian's voice also sounded from the side.

Although it wasn't clear how Ye Guichen could reach the Chaos Sea or achieve such a realm, relying on merely the third level of Earth Immortal cultivation to stand out would only undo a lifetime of effort. Though Haotian was an enemy of Ye Guichen at Netherworld Mountain, it was all to unseal the hidden sect.

Now with the seal opened, the Demon Clan still faces such a fate. If only he hadn't opened the seal!

Seeing the situation, Haotian couldn't help but regret.

"Oh, I'd forgotten I have another identity."

"And that is the child of the Snake Woman!"

Ye Guichen spoke with a calm and breezy manner.

"Hmm? Child of the Snake Woman?"

Hua Qing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, unexpectedly realizing he was the child of the Snake Woman.
