Nine Realms Sword Emperor
Chapter 1830 - 1833: Palace King City
Chu Fengmian could see that the restriction within the head of this Taigu Centipede was likely set by a martial artist at the half-step Heavenly Human Realm.
Except for a genuine martial artist at the Heavenly Human Realm, no one posed any threat to the current Chu Fengmian.
Bang!
The Spiritual Power gathered in his palm struck down, entering the mind of the Taigu Centipede, smashing the restrictions within it.
Simultaneously, a current of Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power followed closely, embedding a restriction within the Taigu Centipede.
With the restriction embedded in its mind, the Taigu Centipede ceased to resist and completely submitted to Chu Fengmian.
Chu Fengmian stepped forward and sat on the head of the Taigu Centipede, which only responded with two low growls.
The Taigu Centipede was a wild beast with extremely powerful strength in its bloodline, but this species of wild beasts had a flaw: low intelligence.
Even though this Taigu Centipede had reached the Realm of the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, it could not even communicate and could only comprehend a bit of Chu Fengmian’s intentions.
However, the wild beast species was not incapable of unlocking intelligence. Once they reach the Heavenly Human Realm, the Taigu Centipede could unlock its intelligence and become a demon god.
But stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm is nearly impossible for most wild beasts without Divine Intervention.
"Serve me well, and I promise one day you will reach the Heavenly Human Realm, unlock your intelligence, and transform into a human form."
Chu Fengmian spoke to the Taigu Centipede seated beneath him.
"Roar, roar."
The Taigu Centipede seemed to understand Chu Fengmian’s promise, growling excitedly and becoming even more obedient.
"I didn’t expect you to subdue the Taigu Centipede."
The Sea Princess emerged from the ark, astonished at Chu Fengmian having subdued the Taigu Centipede.
"This Taigu Centipede, hiding in the Xingxuan Belt, has hunted countless martial artists and demon gods, and no one could conquer it. Subduing it has rid the Xingxuan Belt of a menace."
"Hm? This Taigu Centipede was subdued a long time ago."
Hearing the Sea Princess, Chu Fengmian’s mind raced. It seemed no one knew the Taigu Centipede had already been subdued long ago.
It was intentionally kept in the Xingxuan Belt to hunt martial artists and demon gods passing by.
"Subdued long ago?"
Hearing Chu Fengmian, the Sea Princess was momentarily stunned.
"Look."
With a turn of Chu Fengmian’s hand, several hundred Space Rings flew out from the Taigu Centipede’s body.
Many were stained with blood.
These Space Rings belonged to the martial artists and demon gods the Taigu Centipede had hunted, now accumulated over time.
Seeing these Space Rings, Chu Fengmian understood. The Taigu Centipede hiding in the Xingxuan Belt was for hunting passing martial artists and demon gods.
If not commanded, the Taigu Centipede would never keep these Space Rings.
Without intelligence, it couldn’t open them, so someone must have ordered the Taigu Centipede to leave them.
"So that’s how it is..."
Seeing the Space Rings, the Sea Princess believed Chu Fengmian’s explanation.
By chance, Chu Fengmian uncovered a secret. But he wasn’t concerned with who tasked the Taigu Centipede to hunt martial artists and demon gods in the Xingxuan Belt.
"Come aboard."
Chu Fengmian addressed the Sea Princess.
She hesitated, then with a step, leaped onto the Taigu Centipede’s back, which had already submitted to Chu Fengmian.
With a length of a thousand zhangs, the Taigu Centipede flew swiftly toward the Yama Continent under Chu Fengmian’s command.
"What’s going on?"
"Has the Taigu Centipede been subdued or killed? Why did the restriction I placed on it vanish?"
In a distant palace on a continent, an elder opened his eyes, his gaze cold as he spoke.
"The Taigu Centipede is vital to our Wu family and cannot be lost!"
"Investigate it! Get to the bottom of this!"
A stir erupted within the palace.
Unbeknownst to Chu Fengmian.
Now, seated with the Sea Princess atop the Taigu Centipede, they flew toward the Yama Continent.
The Taigu Centipede’s speed far exceeded that of the Sea Princess’s ark.
A journey originally taking five days was reduced to two as they neared the massive continent’s edge.
This continent was several times larger than the Canghai and Qilin continents, teeming with countless sects and martial artists.
This vast land was the center of the Yama Star Domain, the Yama Continent.
All significant forces and major sects of the Yama Star Domain resided here, creating a prosperous realm.
Riding the Taigu Centipede, Chu Fengmian and the Sea Princess arrived boldly at the Yama Continent.
The Taigu Centipede’s aura deterred any who might obstruct them.
Regardless of Chu Fengmian or the Sea Princess’s strength, the Taigu Centipede alone was a powerful figure akin to the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor.
Even in the Yama Star Domain, a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor was a lord capable of founding sects.
With Chu Fengmian and the Sea Princess seated upon it, no one dared provoke them.
They rode the Taigu Centipede to the heart of the Yama Continent, Denwang City.
Denwang City was the largest and most prosperous city on the Yama Continent.
The Star Domain Transmission Array of the Yama Star Domain was located in Denwang City.
The massive Taigu Centipede landed before Denwang City, its colossal form unwieldy due to its lack of intelligence and inability to practice, unable to control its body.
Chu Fengmian directed the Taigu Centipede to rest in a nearby valley.
Chu Fengmian and the Sea Princess entered Denwang City together.
Denwang City’s bustling prosperity surpassed any city Chu Fengmian had visited, filled with vibrant life and activity.
The Yama Continent was the center of the Yama Star Domain, drawing all its talented martial artists.
The Star Domain Transmission Array was here, making Denwang City the Yama Continent’s center, gathering countless martial arts talents.
Reaching Denwang City, one could see martial artists from hundreds of different continents.
