“What an incompetent, shameless, and brainless person you are! You think you can take me away?” Chen Xianer scoffed, her words laced with icy derision.

“Incompetent, shameless, and brainless? I like that…” A wicked grin crossed the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon’s face.

As he grinned, he produced sixteen streams of black poison fog, which morphed into black venomous dragons that rushed towards Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Chen Xianer dismissed the threat simply by clenching her hand.

Driving the poison Great Dao, she sucked all sixteen dragons into oblivion.

“Humph! I don’t believe your Great Dao is more masterful than mine,” the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon said coldly.

With a wave of his hand, the poison Great Dao behind him shook, then tumbled towards Borderless Heavenly Capital.

The falling Great Dao resembled the sky falling, causing the entire space surrounding Borderless Heavenly Capital to collapse. It ground everything into dust wherever it passed, including some ritual arrays on the periphery of Borderless Heavenly Capital.

“That’s not how you use a Great Dao!” Chen Xianer chuckled coldly.

The poison Great Dao behind Chen Xianer extended slightly before violently crashing into the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon’s Great Dao. However, that scene was reminiscent of an adult swatting a child’s head.

Boom!

With a thunderous noise, the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon’s poison Great Dao abruptly retreated and strangely shrank, apparently due to the beating.

“What? It shrank?” the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon exclaimed in astonishment.(f)reewe(b)novel

Suddenly, the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon’s face filled with horror as he realized the problem. “The roots?”

“You aim to harness the power of Great Dao without fully understanding it? You are truly humiliating yourself by driving the poison Great Dao in front of me!” Chen Xianer retorted coldly.

With another wave of her hand, the ground beneath her Great Dao began to churn. Shadowy images of the Great Dao’s roots suddenly burst through the ground, a whirlwind of shattered stones erupting around them. The roots plunged into the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon’s poison Great Dao and seemed to suck in its nutrients fiercely, like countless straws.

Boom!

The Great Dao behind the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon withered instantaneously as if Chen Xianer’s Great Dao had drained its essence.

“Impossible! Why can’t I control the poison Great Dao?” the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon screamed.

“That’s because you never had control over the Great Dao. Your strength is nothing!” Chen Xianer responded coldly.

Rumble…!

The Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon’s Great Dao shrank visibly, then was completely absorbed by Chen Xianer’s Great Dao.

In the blink of an eye, the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon appeared to have lost his support.

“Your Great Dao is gone. Now, it’s my turn,” Chen Xianer said coldly.

At this point, the surrounding spectators were dumbfounded, feeling like they had lost their will to live.

They originally thought Chen Xianer was a harmless lamb and worried for her, but she suddenly turned into a ravenous wolf. Has she reached the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm? No, with her control over a Great Dao, she might have already achieved the consummation of the spiritual souls, right? Only those at the consummation of spiritual souls can perfectly control a Great Dao.

Chen Xianer can do that. Did Chen Xianer outshine even Gu Hai?

Just how many monsters does this Borderless Heavenly Capital hide?

Everyone was stunned and horrified.

However, Chen Xianer waved her hand dismissively. Countless green toxic clouds sprouted like jade snakes from her Great Dao and rushed towards the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon. They surrounded him, threatening to drown him.

“Jade snake poison? No, how do you know what can counter my poison? Only Number Two can do this. Only a jade snake demon or someone who has completely mastered the poison Great Dao can use jade snake poison. Apart from Number Two, no one has completely mastered the poison Great Dao, you-you…” The appearance of the jade snake poison caused the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon to wear a look of despair.

However, Chen Xianer ignored him.

Having mastered the poison Great Dao, Chen Xianer naturally understood which poison to use against which. The Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon was a centipede spirit. The ancient shaman race had long discovered a method to suppress the centipede spirit.

Thousands of jade-snake-like poison streams shot toward him like venomous snakes, leaving the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon nowhere to hide.

Long Wanqing, Gu Qin, and others all showed joyous expressions.

However, at the very moment of their impending victory, the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon tore off his robe, exposing his body.

A pervert with an exhibitionistic trait at the time of his death?

No, there were countless eyes on the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon’s naked body, densely packed and covering him entirely. It was utterly revolting to see thousands of eyes suddenly open.

Buzz!

The thousands of eyes suddenly emitted dazzling golden light that pierced space, riddling it with countless holes. The golden light instantly melted the jade-snake-like poison streams.

“What is this?” Numerous people wore expressions of astonishment.

The densely packed eyes radiated an eerie golden light that seemed capable of piercing everything. Yet the light did not travel beyond thirty-three kilometers from his body but formed a large net instead.

The net was bizarre, seeming capable of cutting through everything. It rushed to cover Borderless Heavenly Capital.

“This…isn’t poison?” Chen Xianer’s face turned serious.

Sizzle!

As the golden net covered Borderless Heavenly Capital’s ritual array, many parts of the array instantly melted.

“Hahahaha! That’s right! This is not poison. This is my Poison Destroying Golden Light, crafted specifically to neutralize all poisons. I command the poison, and likewise, I can destroy it too! Our animal spirit race created this secret technique to deal with the shaman race’s divine blood replication. It seems it has found its use today! Let me test its power on you!” bellowed the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The golden net melted Borderless Heavenly Capital’s ritual array without resistance and advanced swiftly towards Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza. Any arrow that touched the net instantly vaporized, as if all attacks were futile.

“Humph! A freak who wants to neutralize poison? Ridiculous!” Chen Xianer scoffed dismissively.

Chen Xianer threw a palm strike, summoning a surge of Poison Dao energy from the poison Great Dao behind her into her manifested palm as it headed for the golden net in the sky.

Boom!

Chen Xianer’s massive manifested palm clashed with the golden net.

However, it was like a droplet of water landing on hot iron, giving off sizzling sounds like it was being dissolved. Nevertheless, Chen Xianer was using the Great Dao to power her attack, drawing on endless energy.

“So, it really is that strange Poison Destroying Golden Light. Let’s see how long you can sustain it!” Chen Xianer scoffed, drawing upon even more Poison Energy to counteract the golden net.

Above, the sky was filled with clouds of vaporized poison, forcing the powerhouses in the vicinity to retreat.

Although the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon could not overcome Chen Xianer, he managed to occupy her.

Amid the danger, only Long Wanqing could protect the citizens. She swept her arm out, and the gushing waters of the nether river covered Borderless Heavenly Capital, protecting its people. After all, the area around the city seemed to corrode as the poison increased.

Just as a stalemate was reached, a dark figure appeared near the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon, causing space to tremble. That figure hovered in the air, appearing indistinct as it created a whirlwind that dispersed the poison in the sky.

“Does Ji Dihong have more tricks up his sleeve?” the experts cried out in alarm.

The presence of the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon was terrifying enough, and now another person had joined him?

Who is this mysterious dark figure? Why can’t we see his face clearly?

The arrival of this dark figure made Chen Xianer and Long Wanqing’s faces sink, as they felt an awful premonition.

“Milord! You sent a projection over?” the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon exclaimed in delight.

Milord?

The Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon’s words sent shivers down the spine of everyone present.

Lord? Who is this lord he spoke of?

The expressions of those who understood the Heavenly Demon Holy Land changed dramatically. The Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon was third-ranked among the twelve subordinate peak masters. This meant there were two more powerful than him, but none could match the main peak, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s sect master.

The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon?

Gasp!

Countless experts inhaled sharply.

That is the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon? A dreadful thought flashed through people’s minds. Just how much influence does Ji Dihong have to be able to get the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon’s help?

After all, the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon was known to be on par with Ji Dihong in strength.

In the past, perhaps only one person could suppress the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon—Long Zhanguo! His Divine Continent blacklist had kept the Heavenly Demon Holy Land from venturing into the land of the living for a millennium.

Was the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon making a comeback?

Despair was clear on everyone’s face as they looked towards Borderless Heavenly Capital. Borderless Heavenly Capital had to be doomed this time.

No matter how powerful Chen Xianer was, what could she do in front of the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon, a veteran powerhouse and the sect master of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land?

Deity Seizing Hall’s entrance:

Jiangchen lounged comfortably in a sofa-like chair, leisurely sipping tea, his eyes fixed on Borderless Heavenly Capital.

“So, White Tiger has appeared as a projection? Ha! Interesting. Furthermore, Chen Xianer and Long Wanqing don’t seem desperate? Does Gu Hai have a hidden trick? Right, Borderless Heavenly Capital does have an unnamed hall with a mysterious energy shield that even I can’t penetrate. Could Gu Hai’s trump card be hidden there? How intriguing!” Jiangchen mused, sipping his tea with anticipation.

------

Borderless Heavenly Capital:

The arrival of the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon indeed took everyone by surprise.

Gu Qin looked worried while the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon was ecstatic, convinced that with his lord present, Borderless Heavenly Capital was done for.

However, Long Wanqing and Chen Xianer only showed slight signs of anxiety.

“Younger Sister Long, protect the people of Borderless Heavenly Capital!” Chen Xianer instructed.

“Alright!” replied Long Wanqing, waving her hand.

Boom!

The surging waters of the nether river further engulfed Borderless Heavenly Capital, creating several layers to safeguard its people.

However, a large, nameless hall stuck out above the nether river, like a solitary island.

The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon had appeared in the distance. Although his face remained unclear, his presence suggested he was scrutinizing Borderless Heavenly Capital. As though noticing the calmness of the two women, the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon scoffed, “Interesting. Despite knowing it’s me, you do not despair. What do you think can back you up?”

Long Wanqing retorted coldly, “Well, the thing backing us up is in this hall. It’s prepared specifically for you, Unrestrained Heavenly Demon. I wonder if you dare to enter?”

“Oh?” The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon seemed slightly surprised.

Did Gu Hai anticipate my move and ready himself accordingly?

A nameless hall? It seems to be enveloped in a layer of energy that I cannot penetrate. I cannot sense the interior.

Nonetheless, the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon was not reckless. Ignoring the agitated Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon, he approached the entrance of the nameless hall.

Whoosh!

The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon landed at the nameless hall’s entrance. Appearing curious, he said, “Gu Hai must have prepared something since he anticipated my arrival. I am indeed curious. What does Gu Hai have to offer that can quell my anger for the murder of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s peak masters?”

The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon’s voice was calm, but a tremendous murderous intent was unmistakable.

A nameless hall? So what?

The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon, full of confidence and arrogance, stepped inside.

Creak! Bang!

The hall’s doors closed thunderously.

Inside the hall, the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon did not hastily try to break out but gaped in astonishment at the man seated in the center of the hall, legs casually crossed.

His shoes gleamed, and his black trousers accentuated the shape of his legs. He wore a black suit and a highly professional black overcoat over it. A pink tie brought out the brightness of his white shirt.

He held a golden lighter in his left hand and flicked it casually.

Click!

The lighter opened, and a flame danced, igniting the cigarette held in his right hand.

Huff!

The man inhaled lightly. Under the influence of ample oxygen, the tobacco burned quickly, and the cigarette instantly lit up.

Click!

He closed the lighter with his left hand and toyed with it with his fingers.

After swirling the smoke in his mouth, he exhaled gently.

Whoosh!

The smoke wafted around the hall. The man expertly flicked off the ash from his cigarette, flashing a casual smile at the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon. “White Tiger, it’s been a while.”

The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon across from him froze, staying silent for a moment. He then exclaimed in an incredulous tone, “You…you…Long Zhanguo? You’re alive?”
