Chapter 463: Chapter 21: Slaying Zheng Tianhe, the Descent of Demon Monarch Huiyue (Part 2)

"By the way, these are the materials for this batch of pill refinement. There’s material for ten Divinity Transformation Pills and twenty Soul Protection Pills..."

With that said, Zheng Tianhe took out several jade boxes, and upon opening them, they were filled with enticing Spiritual Medicine.

Fengmu and True Man Aigu appeared visibly excited upon seeing this.

These alchemy materials were precisely what they’d been dreaming of acquiring!

Only Lin Chen was scrutinizing the restrictions around.

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen couldn’t resist thinking:

"Hehe, Zheng Tianhe... you’ve really chosen a fine burial place for yourself..."

Lin Chen had roughly figured out the function of this restriction.

It seemed to be not to prevent disturbance from those around, but to thwart the prying attempts of Celestial Beings!

It seemed Zheng Tianhe truly intended to keep his Divinity Transformation breakthrough secret from the Celestial Beings.

Thinking back to the old demon Blood Pupil, he was actually not far from Divinity Transformation at the time.

But he didn’t break through, likely due to restrictions imposed from the Spirit Realm.

Once he broke through to Divinity Transformation, the Spirit Realm would be unable to fully control Blood Pupil.

And now Zheng Tianhe was likely facing the same dilemma.

Therefore, he had to secretly gather materials to prepare for the Divinity Transformation breakthrough.

"Hehe, if I kill Zheng Tianhe within these restrictions, though it won’t be a complete isolation, the Celestial Beings likely won’t discover immediately..."

Lin Chen secretly watched Zheng Tianhe, ready to strike at any moment.

It’s just a pity for Fengmu and True Man Aigu beside him...

Lin Chen shook his head; these two could only be considered unlucky.

He’s not one to kill innocents, but actions like these certainly cannot leave any survivors.

This was no longer a matter of right or wrong, only of self-interest.

At this moment, True Man Aigu and Fengmu remained engrossed in the joy of the Divinity Transformation Pills.

For these materials, they have exerted countless efforts, and many cultivators have perished at their hands.

In the next second, Lin Chen suddenly struck without any warning.

And the targets were True Man Fengmu and True Man Aigu.

The Demon-slaying Blade instantly appeared in Lin Chen’s hand.

Then, he struck with one swift slash.

True Man Fengmu was caught off guard, directly sliced in half by Lin Chen, his Divine Soul disembodied.

"Chiyan, you..."

Lin Chen did not answer and slashed again.

The blow landed on True Man Aigu’s Protective True Essence.

The Protective True Essence shattered instantly, and True Man Aigu’s flesh was destroyed in a blink.

For Lin Chen now, killing Nascent Soul Perfection doesn’t even require a second strike.

The flesh bodies of the two Nascent Soul True Men were destroyed, leaving only the Primordial Spirits.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Beside him, Zheng Tianhe’s face was filled with horror, as Lin Chen’s methods were entirely unlike those of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Such methods were no weaker than Divinity Transformation.

Lin Chen didn’t rush to answer but instead crushed True Man Aigu and Fengmu’s Divine Souls, taking their Storage Bags into his possession.

Now, only Lin Chen and Zheng Tianhe remained on the scene.

"Celestial Harmony Taoist Friend, after more than ten years... you’ve truly made me look at you differently."

Lin Chen murmured softly, then without further words, he struck directly.

The black blade light flickered in the air, and Celestial Harmony Zhenren’s body flashed with a glow.

Looking at his unharmed flesh, Celestial Harmony Zhenren watched a drop of sweat fall from his forehead.

"Just now, I’ve already died once..."

This familiar feeling of being dominated by fear once again emerged in Zheng Tianhe’s heart.

It’s been thirteen years, a full thirteen years.

Zheng Tianhe originally thought he had moved beyond that nightmare.

But upon seeing that familiar Black Blade, Zheng Tianhe’s heart again filled with dread.

"It... it’s you... you’re actually still alive!"

Zheng Tianhe’s pupils trembled violently, instinctively seeking to flee towards the outside of the restrictions.

As long as he escaped outside, the Celestial Beings would know his situation and could intervene to save him!

However, Lin Chen thought...

"There’s not much time left, solve this quickly..."

Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly, and an enigmatic energy spread around him.

Zheng Tianhe’s terrified expression gradually froze on his face.

All surrounding matters halted at this moment.

Simultaneously, Lin Chen’s stamina quickly depleted.

Power of Time!

Time Freeze!

Lin Chen did not hesitate, directly slicing down with the blade.

The fifteenfold Vibrating Blade swiftly shattered Zheng Tianhe’s Protective True Essence.

Slicing his flesh body apart.

Then, Lin Chen’s True Essence wrapped around his hand, directly crushing Zheng Tianhe’s Nascent Soul.

At this point, the Lord of the Nether Realm, Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivator Zheng Tianhe was completely deceased.

Lin Chen knew, killing one Zheng Tianhe, others among the Demon Cultivators would be placed in this position.

But Lin Chen cannot refrain from killing.

Moreover, the benefits of killing Zheng Tianhe are truly numerous.

Lin Chen quickly explored Zheng Tianhe’s Storage Bag, without time to check each item.

He destroyed everything inside that might be tracked.

Then, Lin Chen fled towards the Qing State East Coast.

"Zheng Tianhe is dead, the Celestial Beings must have sensed it..."

"Next, it’s back to escaping again..."

Lin Chen transformed into Escape Light, pushing his tunneling speed to its limit.

...

At the same time, in the Spirit Realm.

In a certain mystic space.

The closed-eyed Demon Monarch Huiyue suddenly opened his eyes.

"Zheng Tianhe, is dead..."

Demon Monarch Huiyue looked incredulous, then frantically tried to search for Zheng Tianhe’s whereabouts.

But after probing for a long time, Demon Monarch Huiyue was stupefied.

"Where on earth did this guy run off to?"

"Even where he died is unknown..."

Demon Monarch Huiyue’s expression was grim.

To prevent discovery by the Spirit Realm cultivators, Zheng Tianhe’s restrictive methods were very clever.

But this also meant that, even though Zheng Tianhe has died, the people of Spirit Realm still don’t know his location.

"A person who fails more than succeeds, it seems I have to personally make a trip again..."

Demon Monarch Huiyue gritted his teeth and stepped out, the Celestial Sect opened wide!

...

Meanwhile, in Qing State.

After killing Zheng Tianhe, Lin Chen immediately headed towards the Endless Sea Domain.

He did not know how long the restriction could conceal, but from his experience, only the Endless Sea Domain was relatively safe.

Lin Chen pushed his tunneling speed to the extreme, until two hours later...

The edge of the Endless Sea Domain, Qing State’s East Coast.

Lin Chen flew over twenty thousand miles, finally relaxing upon seeing the shoreline.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chen plunged into the depths of the Endless Sea Domain.

...

Changchun Mountain.

Demon Monarch Huiyue descended.

He arrived at the location of Zheng Tianhe’s death, his expression looked grim.

Based on the battle marks present, he could see more than one Nascent Soul cultivator had died here.

"Who did this? With Zheng Tianhe’s cultivation now... Who could kill him so easily?"

Demon Monarch Huiyue frowned deeply and finally took out a black Compass.

"Please, honored one, descend and investigate the cause of Zheng Tianhe’s death..."

"Please, honored one, descend..."

Demon Monarch Huiyue repeated several times.

After a while, a lazy voice came through.

At the same time, a phantom figure appeared in front of Demon Monarch Huiyue.

"For such a trivial matter, do I really need to come?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The voice seemed somewhat juvenile, if Lin Chen were here he’d likely recognize it at once.

The figure before him was the same one who discovered the artificial satellite back then.

Demon Monarch Huiyue hurriedly said:

"Sir, though Zheng Tianhe is only a minor role, it’s tied to the significant affairs of Qing State..."

"I humbly ask for your intervention!"

Upon hearing this, the phantom figure sighed.

"Alright, okay... Just this once..."

Saying this, he stretched out his phantom small hand, and a light curtain appeared before him.

This light curtain generally displayed the scene of Lin Chen killing Zheng Tianhe and three others at that time.

Demon Monarch Huiyue’s eyes widened upon recognizing those familiar techniques.

"It’s him, he’s not dead yet!"

The phantom figure yawned, saying:

"That person fled to the Endless Sea Domain... If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off..."

Soon, the phantom vanished.

Leaving Demon Monarch Huiyue with a face full of shock.

"This, how long has it been... How has this guy’s power increased so much!"

"Also, what method did he use to kill Zheng Tianhe... Why was Zheng Tianhe’s Protective Treasure inactive?"

Demon Monarch Huiyue stood in place, choosing not to pursue Lin Chen.

Because based on the power Lin Chen displayed in the image.

Even if he personally made a move, he might not be able to capture Lin Chen...

"Truly a scourge..."

"No, I must report this matter immediately!"
