Chapter 1555 - 538 - 545

Chapter 538: Duel

Level three Immortal Herb? Also high grade?

This request was a bit too high. Immortal Herbs were already hard to find, not to mention something of high grade!

But this dark elf named Shadow seemed very confident. This kind of precious item must be in the ruins, but it all depended on one's strength if they could take it or not.

This was enough to signify that these ruins are not simple.

Chu Tian was a bit interested like this.

Mei Ji kept disagreeing. The Devil's Gate was only opened once every few years, each time it was a rare chance. The Devil's Gate ruins was a public space, but only the surrounding Purgatory Cities could explore them and they only had five-six spots. This chance was a big opportunity to everyone and if a spot was given to a human, wouldn't it be a large loss to Darkness City?

The most important thing was that while Mei Ji could feel that the human was not weak, his cultivation was only in the 4th-5th True Spirit Layer, not strong enough to enter her eyes. Each person going to the Devil's Gate was a Purgatory expert, they were at least in the Spirit Transformation Realm!

"I have a suggestion." Chu Tian felt it was necessary to fight for himself, "Since madam City Lord does not believe in my strength, how about having one of the participants fight with me?"

Mei Ji's revealed a stunned look, "Fight?"

"That's right. Who is strong and who is weak, it'll be clear with a single fight." Chu Tian looked very relaxed. It seemed like this decision wasn't that hard of a matter for him, "If I win, I'll help you find the medicine. If I lose, then you don't need to waste a quota on me. How about it?"

Shadow slightly knit his brow.

He was focused on Chu Tian's abilities, not his direct battle strength.

Chu Tian gave the suggestion for a fight, this was not very advantageous to him.

Mei Ji nodded after considering it, "Alright, I'll give you a chance. If you win, you can join the exploration of the Devil's Gate."

After a few minutes.

In a purple black lava lake.

This was an area of Darkness City. The lava lake didn't release any heat because the energy was locked inside, so there was no heat at all. However, once one fell into the lava, they would be melted without even leaving bones.

The dark lava lake had a small and large dark reefs on it, this was where Chu Tian would be fighting. Chu Tian looked over his enemy. This was a Dark Demon with a large build, the age of this race couldn't be seen by their appearance, but once could make an approximate guess based on this demon's horns.

From the horns on the Dark Demon's head, it was already five hundred years old.

Based on the aura around the Dark Demon, it should be around the peak 7th True Spirit Layer. This was a true Spirit Transformation Cultivator.

Mei Ji and Shadow were watching from the side.

Shadow's brows were even more tightly knit.

There were two forces in charge of Darkness City, one was the dark elves that represented the dark races that controlled two third of the power in Darkness City. The other force was the demons led by vice City Lord Mei Ji.

This Dark Demon commander fighting with Chu Tian was one of Mei Ji's two strongest subordinates. Even if Shadow were to fight him, he wouldn't have more than a 50% chance of winning.

This human from the surface was a bit uncommon, but his cultivation was too weak. His cultivation was too far from that of the Dark Demon commander, not to mention that humans were weaker than demons in fighting, so he didn't have a high chance of winning this fight.

Mei Ji's expression was completely different from Shadow's serious expression, she looked like she was watching a play.

A little human that had accidentally come in from the surface world, could he really resist the Dark Demon commander under her? This was simply a day and night difference.

"There's no time to waste here." Mei Ji directly announced, "Finish it in ten moves."

"Understood, vice City Lord!"

The Dark Demon commander's large demon wings suddenly opened. Chu Tian didn't even have time to react before the surrounding purple black lava turned into wild ten meter long snakes. They twisted together and completely swallowed Chu Tian.

He couldn't even take a single hit?

Then what meaning did this fight have!

The Dark Demon commander just had this idea when he suddenly felt something. When he looked up, he found that Chu Tian had dodged this attack and he had appeared above him.

Mei Ji saw the entire process. Her 9th True Spirit Layer cultivation was not just for show, she revealed a look of faint surprise, "Teleportation? Innate spatial energy!"

"Although I don't know this human's background." Shadow found that Chu Tian was faster and more precise in controlling space, "One thing I can confirm is that this human doesn't just have innate spatial energy, he still has more skills than you can imagine."

The Dark Demon commander saw Chu Tian dodged his attack and his fierce face revealed a smile, "It's only fun if you have some skills!"

When he was speaking.

The Dark Demon commander's hands formed ancient and complex seals, creating a large column out of the lava serpents, turning this large column into a flood dragon. This flood dragon made of lava and Dark Demon secret techniques had a strong destructive might and it charged out at Chu Tian.

This time Chu Tian didn't dodge it. He raised his hands into a hug and he threw himself at this terrifying giant flood dragon.

"Seeking death!"

Since he was seeking death, what reason was there to show any mercy?

This giant flood dragon containing a terrifying energy slammed into Chu Tian, but a scene that was hard to believe appeared. When the giant lava flood dragon hit Chu Tian, its head turned from rock into dark crystals and this dark crystal kept scattering. This went from its head through its body and finally the dark lava flood dragon become a stone dragon.

"Energy…..Energy swallowing!"

Mei Ji revealed a look of disbelief.

Chu Tian's eyes were black, but it was not the normal colour and the depths couldn't be seen, like they were black holes. Chu Tian's body was like a black hole and when he touched the giant flood dragon, he instantly swallowed all the energy on the giant flood dragon into himself.

Chu Tian lifted a fist covered in dazzling light, slamming it onto the stone flood dragon's head. The energy wildly poured into the stone dragon, shattering the stone from head to toe before sending a giant purple black fist at the Dark Demon commander.

"Good!"

The Dark Demon commander roared out and finally released his source spirit, while also sending out a fist. The two fists collided in the center of the lava lake, instantly stirring waves on top of the purple black lava lake, that even covered the surrounding reefs.

Chu Tian ignored the surging lava and he directly fell into the lava lake. Each step he took created a large area of stone and each step increased the power of the energy around Chu Tian.

When he took six-seven steps.

There was already a large area of rock that had been frozen.

The energy around Chu Tian was very strong, just like several hundred small flood dragons swirling around him. It was like they would explode at any moment.

The Dark Demon commander knew that Chu Tian had a rare swallowing ability. Dark energy could swallow all things and innate swallowing energy was a kind of innate dark energy. It was not an innate elemental energy, but it had a shocking effect.

Chu Tian gathered all the energy he swallowed from around him, it was energy that even the Dark Demon commander feared a bit.

He couldn't drag this on.

He had to finish this battle quickly!

The Dark Demon commander didn't know what trick this brat would play if he was given enough time, so he decided not to hold back any longer, releasing his source spirit and cultivation technique to its peak. The Dark Demon commander's body suddenly inflated, turning into a giant jet black demon that was over ten meters tall.

Puchi!

That giant demon's feet fell into the lava, but the dark lava couldn't harm him at all. Without even a second of hesitation, the giant figure flew out like an arrow, charging at Chu Tian with incredible speed.

The energy Chu Tian swallowed had already reached a peak.

"Sword!"

Chu Tian suddenly reached his hand out and he gripped his source spirit sword. His legs slightly bent and he jumped out, causing all the frozen lava to shatter. Large amounts of lava energy came out of the crack and it looked just like a volcano erupting.

The power of the Demon God's Sword Source Spirit was completely ignited, instantly forming a sword glow. The terrifying destructive might felt like it could slash open the sky. When the surrounding energy entered the sword glow, it increased its power. The aura of this slash coming down felt like it could break open the earth itself.

There was nothing flashy about it.

There were no tricks.

It was a simply head on clash, a pure struggle of power!

That giant black sword fell onto the demon and instantly scattered the energy around the demon. A terrifying energy wildly hit the Dark Demon commander, directly sending him several thousand meters away to the cliff at the edge of the lava lake. There was a deep gully that appeared in the lava lake and this gully last for an entire ten seconds.

Victory!

Chu Tian had won!

This slash was truly earth shattering!

Although Chu Tian's attack wasn't fatal, the Dark Demon commander couldn't heal himself in a short period of time. Therefore for this adventure to the Devil's Gate, whether Mei Ji was willing or not, Chu Tian was going.

It took a while for Shadow to come back to his senses, "Although I already knew he wasn't weak, I never thought that he would be this strong! Mei Ji, you shouldn't have anything to say now, right."

"Humph, I'll keep my word. Since he has defeated the Dark Demon commander, naturally he has the right to participate." Mei Ji felt that Chu Tian's strength wasn't just like this, this fellow was just too mysterious, "But I'll directly say the ugly words. Since he is taking a quota from Darkness City, he must make contributions to Darkness City. If he acts purely on self benefit, I will not let him off!"

Chu Tian wasn't locked up when he came to Darkness City, rather he was strangely given a chance to explore some ruins. This really was some dog shit luck.

Chapter 539: Change with the Devil's Gate

In the dark hall, the ones preparing to explore the Devil's Gate were gathered together. Other than Mei Ji, Shadow, and Chu Tian, there was an old dark elf and a very slow looking Rock Demon.

Mei Ji instructed before setting off, "The City Lord is seriously injured, so he can't participate. We will be at an obvious disadvantage at the Devil's Gate, so move carefully. This exploration is not just a chance for each one of you, it is related to our Darkness City!"

"Yes, vice City Lord!"

"Human, you know nothing about the Devil's Gate. Take these things and read as much as you can. Being able to explore the Devil's Gate this time is a great honour for you, I hope that you don't waste this chance."

This fellow's attitude is very bad!

With Chu Tian's temper, he would have sent a slap onto that charming face already.

However, Chu Tian had obtained a free quota, so she wasn't wrong strictly speaking. The Devil's Gate experience was very precious and Chu Tian didn't have the habit of fighting girls nor did he have a chance of winning, so he wasn't going to argue with this demon girl.

"Five thousand dark elf guards and five thousand Dark Demon guards all immediately set out for the Devil's Gate Valley." Mei Ji planned everything, "After we leave the city, Darkness City will be completely sealed. The gates will be on highest defense to avoid any troubles and know where we will come back. If anything happens we didn't plan for, the first thing to do is called the City Lord from the sealed room."

"Understood!"

Mei Ji released her charm, but she was a very practical person. She was like Miracle City's finance minister Delores on this point. Chu Tian didn't see the City Lord after coming to Darkness City, but with Mei Ji managing it, Darkness City was in good order.

"Set out!"

Five thousand dark elves and five thousand Dark Demons, a total of ten thousand Darkness City elites and the Succubus Mei Ji was personally leading them. They were finally setting off for the Devil's Gate.

Chu Tian looked over the materials Mei Ji had left him and he saw that there wasn't just a single Devil's Gate. Each area of Purgatory had a Devil's Gate and most of them were closed. Only when there was an opportunity and cooperation would one be opened.

The Devil's Gate gathered things left behind from the ancient era and the Devil's Gate itself was set on rich ancient era soil. Therefore, there were many treasures, with many of them being Immortal Grade Herbs.

Chu Tian looked over the records.

A hundred and sixty years ago was the last time the Devil's Gate was opened.

Darkness City had participated that time. Just a single city obtained several great ancient era treasures, as well as nine Immortal Herbs!

Nobody knew where the Devil's Gate came from and no one knew what significance the Devil's Gate had. Some people said that the Devil's Gate was an ancient era's strong race's farm while others thought that there was a shocking secret hidden inside the Devil's Gate, which might even be related to the reason why the Purgatory World was formed.

No matter what the reason.

The Devil's Gate ruins were equal to treasures, therefore it was a very contested spot for the Purgatory World.

Chu Tian swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This was really a damn good place, but with the description of the Devil's Gate, he remembered something and made a guess towards this Devil's Gate.

This Devil's Gate wouldn't be...

When Chu Tian was thinking about this with furrowed brows, Mei Ji in front leading the team suddenly said, "We're here!"

Chu Tian saw an incomparably large energy field that covered an area of several miles, he could even clearly see it standing a hundred miles away. This barrier should be the so called Devil's Gate, right? Chu Tian carefully observed to find that the barrier was not naturally made and was a giant construction made from the several hundred volcanoes around it with spirit veins between them.

Very not simple!

Even if Chu Tian personally did it, it would take quite a bit of effort to create this kind of large array.

Using this much resources to make a large array was not a very difficult matter. The key point of this was that it wasn't used as defense, but rather as a kind of seal.

In other words, this array was established in Purgatory not to prevent Purgatory's people from entering, but to keep things from coming out.

There were many Devil's Gates in the Purgatory World.

The various Devil's Gates formed another large array over the Purgatory World.

How much spiritual energy and essence was needed for this kind of large array, how much materials and energy was needed? Just what kind of thing was it surrounding! Chu Tian had his ideas, but it wasn't convenient to talk about.

"Ha, ha, ha, Darkness City, you came quite late!"

Mei Ji led the team into the Devil's Gate Valley and there were teams from several Purgatory cities already inside.

The one that spoke was a Flame Demon. Flame Demons were a high level demon and a rare half elemental demon. They used flames as flesh and lava as blood, naturally having a powerful destructive might.

"This is the Flame Demon City's vice City Lord Kildan." Shadow introduced to Chu Tian, "Flame Demon City is one of the strongest nearby Purgatory cities. This Kildan's strength is immeasurably deep, I estimate it's even higher than Mei Ji's."

"Darkness City has come this hesitantly." The one speaking this time was a demon on the other side. He was surrounded by a dense fog that confused the five senses, making people unable to see him clearly. It was like he was always covered in a mysterious layer of shadows, "The Darkness City's City Lord isn't here, could it be his injuries haven't recovered yet?"

Dark Shadow City's vice City Lord, the Shadow Demon Zorro!

The Shadow Demons were also a race of high grade demons, having an unpredictable powerful strength. They were the most feared assassins in the Purgatory World.

Chu Tian looked over the other cities to find that other than Flame Demons, Shadow Demons, and other similar demons, there were also dark giants, dark spirit beasts, and other dark races. This could be considered a gathering of the top races of the Purgatory World.

Mei Ji faced the Shadow Demon Zorro's question and gave a calm charming smile, "Many thanks for everyone's worries. The City Lord's injuries are not bad, they only need a few days to recover, so he didn't come participate. However, speaking of this, your Flame Demon City and Dark Shadow City's City Lords didn't seem to come either, what is this about?"

"Ha, ha, ha!" The Flame Demon Kildan gave a wild laugh that seemed to shake the mountains themselves and could start a flood of lava, "If Darkness City's City Lord doesn't come, our City Lord coming would be taking advantage of you. Our cities control the eastern area of the Purgatory World, so we all suffer if one suffers. We won't take advantage of your Darkness City!"

The Shadow Demon Zorro was more gloomy and low key compared to the explosive Flame Demon Kildan. Although his voice was not loud, it still reached everyone's ears, "Our City Lord has other things to do, so he agreed not to come on this adventure."

Mei Ji knit her brows.

Emotions were simply a joke in the Purgatory World.

The Devil's Gate would only open once every few hundred years and it was impossible for several City Lords to give it up at once. Just what were they planning? But before Mei Ji had time to think this through, a dark giant was surprised to find Chu Tian in the Darkness City team and it was like finding a new continent, "This…..Isn't this the legendary human from the surface world? When did your Darkness City even have humans!"

Mei Ji introduced in an unwilling manner, "This is an adventurer from the surface and currently our Darkness City's guest elder. Because our City Lord couldn't participate, we invited him to make up the numbers."

"Make up the numbers?"

"Ha, ha, ha, does Darkness City lack people? You actually found a human to fill the numbers!"

These Purgatory locals didn't hide their contempt, even unscrupulously laughing. The ones participating in the Devil's Gate adventure were all in the Spirit Transformation Realm, only Chu Tian was in the 5th True Spirit Layer, so how could they not hold him in contempt?

Mei Ji was too lazy to explain what she didn't want to explain. She had personally witnessed Chu Tian's strength and even though his cultivation base wasn't high, his battle strength was quite high. Moreover, it seemed like he was hiding something. The more these people looked down on him, the more surprise he would be when it came to a critical moment.

"Don't waste time!" A dark spirit beast came out. This race looked like a mix between a tiger and a wolf, and it was much larger compared to a normal spirit beast. It wasn't like the spirit beasts on the continent and was possibly a special dark spirit beast race of the Purgatory World, "The Devil's Gate barrier has reached its weakest point, now is the best chance for us to open it."

Everyone didn't come here to chat.

The Flame Demon Kildan looked at Mei Ji, "Then let us begin."

Without wasting any words, the vice City Lord or City Lords all took out an ancient stone plate. When the plates came together, they perfectly formed a disk.

Everyone began to chant together.

A powerful energy came from the ancient stone disk.

The stone plate shined a strong light beam onto the Devil's Gate barrier and like the first like of spring hitting the snow, it gradually degraded until it formed a large opening.

Mei Ji revealed a look of excitement and joy.

The Devil's Gate has been smoothly opened.

This exploration was not just important to Darkness City, it was important to Mei Ji herself. If she could find several effective Immortal Herbs, not only could it heal the City Lord's injuries, Mei Ji could finally see room to improve for her stagnant cultivation base.

Chu Tian found that the inside of the Devil's Gate seemed like a whole new world. Even without entering it, Chu Tian could feel the spiritual energy coming out.

The Devil's Gate gathered the spirit veins and volcanoes of the Purgatory World.

This was a very rare enclosed environment, it wasn't strange for it to breed Immortal Herbs. Now that the door has been opened, wasn't it time to go in?

"The Devil's Gate has already been opened." It was clear that not only Chu Tian was impatient, Mei Ji swept over the others and said, "Why are we not going in?"

The little fox suddenly felt something and it who was lying asleep on Chu Tian's shoulder suddenly called out a few times.

"What did you say?" Chu Tian's mind was connected to the little fox. When the little fox felt something, naturally it would transmit it to Chu Tian, "There's killing intent!"

"Ha, ha, ha, no rush, no rush." The Flame Demon Kildan let out a deep laugh, "We have an important thing to take care of first."

Mei Ji was a bit surprised, "What is it?"

"The Devil's Gate has been opened, so Darkness City's people have no further value." The Flame Demon Kildan was just laughing a minute ago, but now he was filled with killing intent, "You can all die now!"

Mei Ji realized that the situation was bad and suddenly her body trembled.

A black blade was silently inserted into her chest, accurately penetrating through her heart.

Chapter 540: Escaping from danger

Mei Ji no matter what was in the peak 8th True Spirit Layer, someone who had a step in the 9th True Spirit Layer. This kind of strength was already considered a first class expert in the Purgatory World.

Succubus' didn't have a strong close combat strength, but their strong spiritual energy and Divine Sense gave them a warning system, so they could sense when danger approached. Mei Ji was filled with fear, always secretly paying attention to them, but she never thought that there would be people who would secretly attack the leader during this situation.

It wasn't as simple as just landing a single hit!

Zorro used all his curse ability to make Mei Ji lose control of her spirit energy. She couldn't gather any strength, she could only watch as her vital energy disappeared.

"Zorro, you, you….."

Mei Ji knew who dared to attack after she received the attack.

Of the experts present, although Kildan had a high cultivation, he didn't have this kind of assassination ability. Only Dark Shadow City's vice City Lord, Shadow Demon Zorro could do this.

At this time, Zorro appeared behind Mei Ji without a sound. There was a ash grey dagger in his hand covered in runes that was going deeper bit by bit. There was a strong death aura around the blade itself.

"Didn't you really want to know where our City Lords were?" Zorro's voice was ice cold without any emotions, "I'll tell you now. When you all arrived here, Darkness City was already surrounded. Our City Lords are working together, so you are finished, completely finished."

"Damn, why are you doing this….."

"There is no why in Purgatory, you can die now."

"Great Charming Shadow Art!"

Mei Ji turned into countless ghosts, instantly separating from Zorro, smoothly escaping from the point of Zorro's blade. At this time, the other people reacted. Darkness City's Rock Demon gave an angry roar as a pair of large fists flew out.

The Rock Demon was not weak and Zorro didn't want to take it, so he quickly jumped away. He also didn't forget to send a slash that forced the Rock Demon back several steps.

But the Rock Demon's defenses were very high, so it didn't suffer any heavy injuries.

Shadow released his bow source spirit and sent out an arrow without any sound. It hit Zorro in the chest and turned him into an illusion in the air. It was clear he dodged with some kind of secret technique.

The Darkness City army saw this and they all pulled out their weapons in preparation.

The Flame Demon Kildan roared with laughter, "You want to resist with this bit of people? Kill!"

Flame Demon City's Flame Demons, Dark Shadow City's Shadow Demons, and the demons and dark races from the other cities all came forward and surrounded Darkness City's group.

Mei Ji appeared less than a hundred meters away and spat out a large mouthful of blood. Her chest had been completely penetrated. The heart was a very important place for a demon.

"There's no use. Taking a single stab means you're already dead."

The Shadow Demon Zorro was not weaker than Mei Ji. With a sneak attack and a stab with a dagger filled with death energy, falling onto Mei Ji's vital area, this was why he wasn't in a rush to follow her.

As expected.

Mei Ji was panting and looked especially weak, not even having the ability to run anymore. The Darkness City troops surrounded by several cities couldn't hold on much longer and had even lost all chances of escaping.

"Those that surrender won't be killed!" Kildan roared out, "Otherwise you'll follow the others in death!"

Mei Ji revealed an angry and anxious look. Her eyes filled with ripples as a strong spiritual energy covered Zorro. Zorro didn't think that Mei Ji still had the ability to resist and when he was covered in the spiritual energy, he immediately lost control of his body.

"Humph, stubborn resistance, no meaning at all!"

The Flame Demon Kildan sent out a fist and a fire dragon with terrifying energy appeared. The Darkness City Rock Demon was guarding in front of Mei Ji, using his powerful defense to block against the terrifying destructive might of the Flame Demon.

Hong!

The wild energy surged forward.

The rock body of the Rock Demon exploded causing a large hole and Mei Ji was hit by the shockwaves. In her weakened state, her spiritual energy attack was cut off.

The Shadow Demon Zorro disappeared the moment he recovered. Darkness City's other expert, the old dark elf saw this and released an eyeball shaped source spirit. His eyeball source spirit could see through concealed objects, so it countered Zorro's ability.

People never would have thought that.

Zorro appeared right in front of this dark elf and his dark blade moved at an unbelievable speed as he cut off the old dark elf's head.

"No!"

Shadow shot an arrow with an angry roar, but he couldn't hit Zorro.

The Rock Demon had fought several rounds with Kildan on the side. Kildan had reached a high 9th True Spirit Layer and in terms of just cultivation base, he was even stronger than Mei Ji. Moreover, with how overbearing his cultivation technique was, after several powerful attacks, the Rock Demon's body directly shattered.

Chaos.

It was total chaos.

The Flame Demon City and Dark Shadow City's experts led the attacks. Shadow was heavily injured while fighting the opposite side's expert, Mei Ji was already close to death, and the other two experts had already fallen.

The morale of the Darkness City elites all dropped.

They knew that there was no chance to turn this around and fighting was just a dead end, so they all had the thought of giving up.

Chu Tian was the weakest and was a foreign race, so he wasn't focused by the others, but the ones attacking him were all Spirit Transformation Experts of the other cities. Chu Tian's battle strength was good and he had confidence fighting one on one, but now that he was surrounded, even he felt it was a bit straining.

He never thought this damn thing would happen.

They strangely started fighting, the Purgatory World was truly a world he couldn't understand.

Sou!

A shadow flashed past!

A Dark Shadow City Shadow Demon made a sneak attack.

This was the Shadow Demon race's powerful secret technique. The Shadow Demons had a very strong stealth technique, which could even avoid Divine Sense. Of course with Chu Tian's Vision Domain Divine Sense, when the enemy came close, he could still track their movements.

The forest green blade glow was aimed at his vital point!

Chu Tian suddenly moved back. The blade glow shattered into gorgeous light, almost breaking Chu Tian's Starlight Immortal Body.

Chu Tian was enraged!

These grandsons!

They also want to kill father?

The Shadow Demon expert sent out a second attack after the first one missed.

Chu Tian's eyes became a deep black hole. When the Shadow Demon's attack him him, which could even penetrate the defensive cultivation technique of a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, it didn't have any use against Chu Tian at all. When it made contact, most of the energy was absorbed by Chu Tian and the remaining energy was scattered by the layer of starlight.

"What?!"

The Shadow Demon didn't expect this at all. When he reacted, Chu TIan had already raised a Demon God's Sword and his body was covered in a powerful destructive might.

"This attack doesn't even itch! I'll let you see what is called a real attack!" Chu Tian slashed the other side's body in half, with the broken corpse flying a hundred meters away, "Scram!"

This foreign race was actually this strong?

The others looked at Chu Tian in a daze.

Kildan, Zorro, and the other City Lords noticed this.

While everyone was stunned, Chu Tian's eyes turned white and his hands released spatial ripples. He grabbed at Mei Ji and Shadow in space, covering them in spatial energy and bringing them in front of Chu Tian.

Innate spatial energy?!

What a powerful control ability!

Chu Tian's eyes turned green and spirit energy kept turning into life energy, surging out of his hands onto the two of them. Shadow's injuries were instantly healed and most of Mei Ji's heart recovered, instantly pulled her out of danger.

Innate life energy?

Such a strong healing ability!

A dark spirit beast was closest to Chu Tian and his reaction was quite fast. He erupted with a shocking speed, charging at Chu Tian.

"Scram further away!"

Chu Tian looked over and his body was covered in flames, turning into the shape of a shield. The dark spirit beast hit the flames and suddenly let out a pitiful wail. He fell to the canyon floor covered in blue and white flames. It was hard to defend against this strange flame even with his cultivation base.

Chu Tian blew out and sent out a large spout of flames.

The dark giant City Lord quickly shouted, "Don't touch the flames!"

Chu Tian's spirit energy was almost spent. Not to mention carrying two people, it was even impossible for him to escape from this heavily guarded valley. So Chu Tian didn't have a choice to escape, instead he used the rest of his spirit energy to teleport the two of them into the Devil's Gate.

"Don't let him escape!"

When everyone recovered from their shock and wanted to attack, Chu Tian was a step ahead of them, instantly disappearing without a trace.

"What is going on?!" The Flame Demon Kildan exploded with rage, "Where did that brat escape to!"

"Don't worry, there are only three of them left. They escaped into the Devil's Gate, there is no other exit. Our armies are guarding this entrance, so they can't escape even if they grow wings." The Shadow Demon Zorro wasn't worried at all, "Darkness City is being encircled right now, they will inevitably fall."

That's right.

What trouble could these people raise?

Kildan didn't want to let them go, "Is it that easy for them to escape? Their cultivation is not high and the fighting just now should have consumed most of their strength. The two Darkness City fellows are heavily injured, so we should go in immediately and take care of them!"

"Alright!"

The others all nodded. The dark spirit beast with a burnt black body stood up. Chu Tian's flames were hard for normal people to block and this dark spirit beast didn't die after being burned by the Netherworld Ghost Flames, only being heavily injured. He wasn't simple just based on this point, he was really worth being at the City Lord level.

Kildan, Zorro, the dark giant, and the dark race leaders, they all brought several Spirit Transformation Experts. How could they fail chasing down a trivial Chu Tian with all these people? This was almost impossible!

They had to investigate the Devil's Gate and if they could eliminate a fish that escape the net, why wouldn't they? Kildan led the experts into the Devil's Gate and the armies guarded the Devil's Gate Valley. As long as Chu Tian appeared, he would be immediately surrounded.

Chapter 541: Five Coloured Immortal Tree

Chu Tian first swallowed a True Spirit Pill. He couldn't help praising the beautiful, smart, and dedicated young miss again in his heart. If it wasn't for the True Spirit Pill the young miss prepared coming in use time and time again, how could Chu Tian be this calm in the Purgatory World?

The True Spirit Pill worked very fast, so Chu Tian quickly moved while recovering his spirit energy. He used his spatial ability to carry Mei Ji and Shadow several hundred miles away. Even if those fellows were strong, without a spatial ability, they could not catch up for a while.

Chu Tian swallowed another True Spirit Pill, "It's safe for now."

Shadow let out a long sigh of relief, "You saved me again."

"How about it? I think I didn't waste Darkness City's quota, at least I was a bit of use!" Chu Tian acted a bit arrogantly as he looked at the Succubus with a faint look of scorn, "Demon race woman, you have to remember, if I wasn't kind enough to make a move, you would have already been chopped to pieces."

Mei Ji was a bit fearful after taking back her life. She was not an especially strong person and was too lazy to bicker with Chu Tian, "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

"This….." Chu Tian looked over Mei Ji's body full of a foreign race's style, "Your body isn't bad. I already have enough beauties by my side and if I let them know that I brought back a demon, they might chop me to eighteen pieces."

This fellow really hit where it hurt, who was fucking using their body in exchange?

Demon? What's wrong with the demons! We demons don't even like you humans!

Mei Ji ignored Chu Tian and her brows knit as he said, "Although we escaped, I'm afraid Darkness City….."

"This is bad, there was a plot against Darkness City this time. They want to used the Devil's Gate opening to take the chance to swallow Darkness City." Shadow's expression suddenly fell when he realized how serious the situation was. He immediately stood up and said, "Father is in danger, we have to head back!"

Mei Ji gave a few soft coughs, speaking in a very weak and helpless voice, "Devil's Gate has already been sealed, we don't even have the chance to leave, not to mention saving anyone."

"Could it be we have to watch Darkness City fall?" Shadow's eyes fell onto Chu Tian, "Human, you have many special powers and items, can you think of a way?"

Chu Tian rolled his eyes, "Do you think I'm a god."

There were no transport arrays in Darkness City or the Purgatory World, Chu Tian couldn't save them no matter how high his abilities were.

Chu Tian did not owe Darkness City. Although he obtained a quota for the Devil's Gate, he hadn't obtained any advantages yet. There was also the two favours in saving Shadow twice and saving Mei Ji once.

Chu Tian was not obliged to give up the great chance in front of him, risking his life to fight his way back to Darkness City.

"It's very unlikely the three of us can kill our way out, not to mention that we would be surrounded by several Purgatory City Lords. Charging out way out would be sending ourselves to death and sending myself to death is not something I would do." Chu Tian presented his standpoint, "I suggest silently watching the situation and wait for a chance to strike back."

Shadow's face became uglier.

He wasn't someone unclear of the situation, how could he fight his way back to Darkness City when it was even hard keeping himself safe? Not to mention that Darkness City's City Lord was heavily injured. If they couldn't bring back a high grade level three Immortal Herb, even if they can solve the danger temporarily, they cannot keep Darkness City's City Lord's life.

It wasn't Chu Tian didn't want to help, but this wasn't his territory in the end.

If he could construct the Transport Tower, with Chu Tian's contribution and reputation among the elves, it wasn't impossible for him to ask Lancelot to make a move. With a peak expert like Lancelot inciting fear, perhaps it wasn't hard to solve the danger of Darkness City.

They could only do this now!

Shadow and Mei Ji were injured. Shadow had been treated by Chu Tian and now he was not too injured, but Mei Ji's situation was special. She was attacked by Dark Shadow City's peak expert Zorro, who not only pierced her heart, also used a secret Shadow Demon technique. Chu Tian's strong healing technique had suppressed the wound, but it was far from being cured.

How could she fight in this kind of situation?

The other side had experts like clouds and even if Chu Tian was strong, his cultivation base wasn't enough. How many could he fight at the same time? Shadow and Mei Ji couldn't use their full strength while they were injured.

The large barrier in the sky dyed the sky a purple red colour.

The Devil's Gate wasn't like its name at all, the flowers, grass, trees, and mountains were all crystalized, looking like beautiful pieces of crystal art. With this multicoloured glow, how did it seem like a place related to the devil? This was simply a paradise on heaven!

This super large barrier gathered the spiritual energy from the surrounding thousand miles into once place and isolated the environment. The spiritual energy inside the Devil's Gate was several hundred times greater than outside. If this could be maintained for tens of thousands of years, it would create many treasures and Immortal Herbs.

Where should they go now?

The little fox began sniffing around. It was like it found many different good things as it jumped around on Chu Tian, shouting out in an excited manner.

Chu Tian knew that while the fox didn't know anything else, its treasure hunting skills were first class, "Stop shouting, what did you find?"

The little fox pointed at several places in front and at another several places in another direction.

"Stop!" Chu Tian stopped the little fox, "We're being chased right now, we don't have much time. We can only pick a few good things!"

The little fox revealed an awkward look.

The treasures here were very good!

It looked like it was making a hard choice as it scratched its head with its claw before finally pointing in one direction. Shadow saw the little fox's ability, he already didn't think of it as a normal pet and Mei Ji looked very surprised. This little beast didn't have any energy fluctuations and looking at its cute furry appearance, it seemed like an ornamental pet.

A little pet could be this intelligent?

This was truly puzzling.

"The pursuing troops will quickly catch up, we need to move quickly! Let's go!"

Mei Ji wasn't certain she could beat Chu Tian, so she could only listen to Chu Tian's directions. The three of them followed the little fox's directions and finally found a valley containing a giant strange tree.

This tree was several hundred meters tall with black roots, a purple trunk, red branches, green leaves, and golden fruits. It looked like it was made of crystal from head to toe and it was releasing a vigorous spiritual energy.

At the center of the five coloured crystal tree, there was a different looking fruit hanging there.

This fruit was like a different flood dragon entwined with five different coloured flood dragons.

Mei Ji's expression changed, "This is the Immortal Grade Five Coloured Flood Dragon Fruit of ancient records, a medium grade level three Immortal Herb. The other golden fruits are Golden Flood Dragon Fruits and although the can't compare to the Five Coloured Flood Dragon Fruit, they are still precious half step Immortal Herbs!"

Really? His luck was this good!

An Immortal Herb was great luck and half step Immortal Hers were things that couldn't be asked for. If he could obtain these several dozen half step Immortal Herbs and the Immortal Herb, Chu Tian's trip wouldn't be in vain.

Chu Tian didn't rashly charge forward for benefits, "This kind of Immortal Grade treasure has a spirit beast guarding it and there is no one around it, I think there is something fishy with this."

Mei Ji was a bit stunned by Chu Tian.

With this kind of large enticement, even she who had lived for three hundred years found it hard to resist. This human looked very young, but this kind of determination was not simple.

Chu Tian said to Shadow, "Give it a test first."

Shadow pulled out his jet black bow and released a powerful energy from his finger that formed a blazing black arrow, which flew out at the five coloured fruit. The arrow seemed silent, but it was very powerful, even a Spirit Transformation Expert would find it hard to defend against it!

The black arrow was about to hit the five coloured fruit, but the Five Coloured Immortal Tree shook. Each golden fruit released light like a cannon, creating a golden defensive barrier. The black arrow evaporated like black ink, not harming the Five Coloured Immortal Tree at all.

Such strong defenses!

The three of them didn't even have time to make a sound before a powerful Divine Sense wave came out like a wild storm, being released by the Five Coloured Immortal Tree.

Divine Sense, this was Vision Domain level Divine Sense!

Chu Tian was very surprised to find that this thing's Divine Sense was not weaker than his. This Divine Sense did not charge at them and went into the several dozen golden fruits. After each fruit had Divine Sense injected into them, they actually trembled before falling off the Five Coloured Immortal Tree.

What is going on? Why did they fruit fall off itself!

While the three of them were confused, the Five Coloured Flood Dragon Fruit released a five coloured light that fell onto the fruits and something unbelievable happened. The fruits began to change shape under the intense light and they finally formed several dozen human shaped monsters.

These monsters body were golden with a flood dragon head on a human body. They had an intense aura that was close to the Spirit Transformation Realm. When these several dozen golden flood dragon people were called out, they immediately charged at the three of them. It was clear the Five Coloured Immortal Tree had found them.

No wonder there was no spirit beast around this Immortal Herb.

It had a very strong defensive system!

Several monsters close to the Spirit Transformation Realm attacking together, it really was not something normal people could defend against. Shadow sent several several black arrows seeing this, with one passing right through a monster, but he had no time to be happy. The Five Coloured Flood Dragon Fruit released an energy cover and the golden flood dragon guards was instantly healed.

"Several dozen Spirit Transformation monsters were already hard enough to deal with and now they have this undying healing ability." Mei Ji suddenly said, "We can't take the herb, let's go!"

The Devil's Gate were filled with treasures, but they were not easy to take.

With three people's strength in this situation, there was almost no hope of success. It was better to give up and avoid placing themselves in danger!

Chu Tian laughed, "You not being able to take it doesn't mean I can't. You can leave if you want, I'll give it a try first." After saying this, he took out a scroll and released the eighteen Divine Servants.

Chapter 542: Great ancient demon

How could an Immortal Herb just be given up? This was not Chu Tian's style at all!

The eighteen Divine Servants fought with the thirty two golden flood dragon guards, blowing sand out and creating waves of air. The golden flood dragon guards were stronger than the Divine Servants individually, but the Divine Servants had stronger bodies. The Divine Servants were controlled by Chu Tian, so they had a flawless coordination. However, both sides were hard to kill, so this battle would not be settled in a short period of time.

Peng!

A Divine Servant sent a golden flood dragon guard flying several meters with a punch.

Pa!

A golden flood dragon guard created several marks on a Divine Servant with its claws.

Chu Tian didn't personally fight the golden flood dragon guards, but having the Divine Servants clash with the golden flood dragon guards, Chu Tian found that these golden flood dragon guards were stronger than he imagined.

There was no cultivation technique, no secret techniques, and no intelligence.

It was just a golden body refined over tens of thousands of years clashing with the Divine Servants.

If it wasn't for Chu Tian's skilled control of the Divine Servants, they would have already been broken by the golden flood dragon guards.

Good things!

These half step Immortal Grade golden fruits brought Chu Tian a pleasant surprise.

These golden fruits were most likely body refining herbs, otherwise how could the golden flood dragon guards be this strong? This kind of medicine could not just make one's body strong, it was also a good thing for strengthening the Divine Servants. Chu Tian had to obtain them.

Although he didn't know what use the Five Coloured Immortal Fruit had, these half step Immortal Grade golden fruits were already this remarkable, so how lacking could it be? Looking at the current situation, the fruit could quickly heal the golden flood dragon guards and could give them endless battle strength, so at least it had a powerful restorative ability.

Mei Ji and Shadow were shocked by Chu Tian's methods once again.

This human could call out puppets with such powerful battle strength. The most important thing was that these battle puppets had incredible undying diamond bodies that could compete with the golden flood dragon guards the Five Coloured Immortal Tree summoned out for this long.

But obtaining the Immortal Herb was not this easy.

The Divine Servants were undying, but the other side were the same.

The Immortal Tree had enough energy to form a solid defense, while it also had a Divine Sense that wasn't weaker than Chu Tian's. To give the Immortal Herb a sense of safety, Chu Tian wanted to approach it silently, but that was very difficult.

Chu Tian quickly thought it through, "Fox, we're going together!"

The fox jumped out without another word and sent out several soul puppets, instantly summoning out several demon beasts. These were all level three Roaring Flame Dragons prepared by the little fox in Miracle City. The little fox called them out with its demonic technique, all of them turning into four flaming dragons. They charged at the Immortal Tree as soon as they appeared, sending out flames at the Immortal Tree at the same time.

The might of a level three demon beast was not fake.

The Roaring Flame Dragon's flames were not weak.

But wanting to burn the defenses of the Five Coloured Immortal Tree was a fool's dream. With the Five Coloured Immortal Tree's energy cover, the flames spat out by the Roaring Flame Dragon's didn't harm a single leaf. However, this action had completely angered the Five Coloured Immortal Tree, causing it to release an incomparably strong Divine Sense attack, with a powerful destructive might. The dragons were instantly cut and they received heavy injuries.

Good chance!

Chu Tian wanted to lure the Five Coloured Immortal Tree to release its Divine Sense because after one attacked with all their Divine Sense, it would fall into a refractory period, where one couldn't gather powerful Divine Sense.

Shadow and Mei Ji carefully noticed that when the flame dragons were repelled, Chu Tian's jet black eyes had suddenly turned golden. An abnormally strong Divine Sense was released from Chu Tian.

Gold represented Divine Sense.

Chu Tian revealed his Vision Domain Divine Sense and activated the secret technique of his source spirit, this was something that couldn't be defended against. Chu Tian was clear on his own abilities and if he directly clashed with the Five Coloured Immortal Tree's Divine Sense, it would be hard for Chu Tian to win. Therefore, he had to divert the thirty two golden flood dragon guards first and have the little fox make a distraction.

As expected.

This fellow was a dumb monster in the end. When the Five Coloured Immortal Tree was faced with the attack of the demon beasts, although it could make its defenses stronger, it chose to release a full force Divine Sense attack. The Five Coloured Immortal Tree's Divine Sense was in the same Vision Domain Realm as Chu Tian, this kind of Divine Sense could manifest itself, so it had a strong killing might. The four Roaring Flame Dragons were heavily injured from its attack.

The Five Coloured Immortal Tree's Divine Sense exploding led to a very short cooldown time. Chu Tian seized this chance and his hand formed an ancient seal, with his Divine Sense coming together as a Divine Sense secret technique on the Five Coloured Immortal Tree, "Divine Sense Seal!"

The thirty two golden flood dragon guards suddenly lost their bones as they all crumpled onto the floor. With a flash of light, they finally turned back into golden fruits.

Shadow was very confused, "What is this?"

"He used a method to seal the Immortal Tree's Divine Sense. The Immortal Tree couldn't use this technique any longer since it couldn't release Divine Sense, so these golden flood dragon guards returned to their original form." Mei Ji understood some of it, but she didn't know how it happened, "This human is immeasurably deep!"

The little fox was quick. When the golden flood dragon guards returned to their original form, it opened its mouth and several dozen fruits were sucked into the space inside its body. Even if the Five Coloured Immortal Tree recovered its Divine Sense, it couldn't summon out the golden flood dragon guards again.

"Ha, ha, ha, this tree's methods are only like this!" Chu Tian relaxed as he let out several loud laughs, "Without these guards, what other skills does it have?"

The Five Coloured Immortal Tree's main ability was summoning, but now that its summoning material was taken, even if it broke Chu Tian's seal, what could it do? Chu Tian very quickly found that he was wrong and he was very wrong.

The Five Coloured Immortal Tree erupted with anger.

The entire tree released a dazzling light and something unbelievable happened. The Five Coloured Immortal Tree's crystal body began to distort, creating an unbelievable change.

The purple tree turned into a skeleton, the black roots turned into blood veins, the red branches turned into muscles, the green leaves turned into scales, and the Five Coloured Immortal Fruit became a head that turned into a giant eyeball.

In less than a minute, the tree had actually turned into a terrifying giant of over a hundred meters.

"Fuck! What is this!"

There were no records of this strange creature in any ancient books, it was most likely something that became extinct a long time ago, even the erudite Chu Tian hadn't seen it before. Its body was not a tree, but rather an unheard of great ancient demon!

The great ancient demon didn't have a mouth and its entire body released an angry roar, as its eye released a five coloured glow.

"Quickly run!"

The three people and one fox quickly left this place. Wherever the five coloured light went, it swept across it and a mountain like pressure flattened everything.

This attack was not something True Spirit Cultivators could block!

The great ancient demon saw that its attack missed and released an angry roar that shook the world. Its legs suddenly took a step forward and its huge body covered in five coloured light instantly charged several miles forward. This speed did not match its build at all.

The five coloured light gathered again, creating a large crater that directly sent the eighteen Divine Servants flying away.

This is bad!

Chu Tian saw the Divine Servants being sent flying, being covered in wounds and his heart became tense. It wasn't easy cultivating the Divine Servants and they were important assets for Miracle City, so it was a huge pity if they were all lost here.

Mei Ji saw Chu Tian stop and couldn't help shouting, "We can't block this monster, quickly leave!"

Shadow sent out several probing shots and they were all blocked by the golden defensive cover.

This monster not only had a destructive might that True Spirit Cultivators couldn't resist, it also had a defense True Spirit Cultivators couldn't break. This great ancient demon with this powerful attack and defense, how could they resist it?

Chu Tian and the little fox looked at each other.

The little fox knew what Chu Tian was thinking. It turned into fog as it appeared above the great ancient demon and sucked, causing the energy around great ancient demon became weaker. The little fox could restrain it to a certain extent, giving Chu Tian a bit of confidence.

The great ancient demon angrily sent out a five coloured light beam at the little fox and the little fox skillfully escaped with its fog escape technique. The beautiful light created a fan shape in the sky, even those standing a hundred miles away could clearly see it.

The chance was here!

While the great ancient demon was busy dealing with the little fox, Chu Tian instantly charged forward. His hands were filled with powerful sword energy, "Phaseless Sword Rain!" After Chu Tian swallowed the Void Beast's inner core, his Phaseless Sword's might had greatly increased. This Phaseless Sword Rain was several Phaseless Sword Fingers being released at once.

How strong was the Phaseless Sword?

The great ancient demon was covered in a too strong energy barrier, Chu Tian's attack that wasn't strong enough couldn't break the incomparably firm golden defensive cover. Mei Ji didn't even see what had happened, she only saw Chu Tian suddenly charge in front of the great ancient demon when the little fox attracted its attacks. There was the giant sound of glass cracking as large cracks formed on the giant golden defensive cover like glass that had been hit by several arrows.

The great ancient demon realized this is bad and immediately turned its attention back.

Chu Tian raised his flames after swallowing a True Spirit Pill and charged forward like a meteor. He gathered a black Demon God's Sword in the air, gathering all of his Netherworld Flame together and releasing the strongest destructive might of his Demon God's Sword Source Spirit.

The Demo God's Sword increased by several dozen times and a light erupted over the horizon.

The great ancient demon gathered its five coloured energy in its eye, but Chu Tian was a step faster with his slash. Instantly a powerful energy smashed through the defenses and fell onto the glowing eye.

A terrifying explosion!

Powerful light and energy covered the surrounding area!

Chapter 543: Netherworld Clone

With this intense explosion of energy, Mei Ji already found it hard to resist, not to mention Chu Tian in the center of the explosion?

"Dumb, dumb, dumb!" Mei Ji didn't know whether she should be angry or laugh, "This fellow who doesn't know the depths of heaven and earth thinks he has an undying body?"

This arrogant and dumb human must have been shattered to pieces!

Even defensive Spirit Transformation Cultivator would find it hard to defend against this kind of power, not to mention a trivial True Spirit Cultivator? This human indeed has some skills, mainly showed by this powerful explosion. His secret technique or cultivation technique used all his spirit energy in a few moves, sacrificing endurability for explosive power. There was even a chance for him to injure cultivators at the 7th-8th True Spirit Layer.

No matter how high one's cultivation or cultivation technique was, how strong their secret technique was, the strength of a 5th True Spirit Layer Cultivator was very limited. Mei Ji didn't even dare provoke this monster when she wasn't injured, but he was dumb enough to charge right at it. What would it be if not seeking death?

Shadow said in a daze, "He's dead like this?"

"He's definitely dead!" Mei Ji said to Shadow, "Don't worry about it, we're leaving!"

Shadow almost didn't dare believe that Chu Tian would die this easily.

This human was a bit too confident, but he shouldn't be an idiot!

Mei Ji quickly shouted, "What are you doing? We can't resist this demon right now at all, it'll be us who will die next after him!"

"Hei, demon girl, I still saved your life, so how can you hope that I died?"

When a very familiar voice sounded in their ears, Mei Ji froze on the spot. When she turned around in a daze, her bright red lips fell open and her charming eyes turned into circles, like she had seen a ghost.

Chu Tian wasn't that far behind her. From head to toe, from inside to out, he was not injured at all. Even his clothes didn't have a single mark on it.

Chu Tian's Starlight Immortal Body was not enough to resist this kind of power and even with his swallowing ability, Chu Tian could protect his life, but he wouldn't be able to make it out without a single mark on his clothes.

This was simply like a legend!

A human figure walked out of the swirling energy.

Mei Ji was stunned to find that this person was the same as Chu Tian, but his body was covered in injuries. His head was split open, his arms were gone, and there were several holes in his body. Any living being couldn't keep living from this kind of tragic wounds and his "Chu Tian" had an indifferent look like he didn't care at all, like it wasn't his body.

Looking carefully, one could find.

This "Chu Tian" indeed had some unusual places. Each wound didn't have any blood, rather what flowed out was a blue and white flame. This was not a living creature.

"My lord, I have obtained it."

This "Chu Tian" held out the Five Coloured Immortal Fruit in one hand. His body turned into flames and he walked into Chu Tian step by step, fusing into Chu Tian's main body.

What secret technique was this?

A clone technique!

There were indeed clone cultivation techniques and secret techniques in this world, but these cultivation techniques were very hard to train in and had very strict requirements for cultivation material. In most situations, the clone released by the clone technique definitely wasn't as strong as the main body, but Chu Tian's situation was the opposite.

Even if Chu Tian wasn't weak, it wasn't too likely he could defeat the great ancient demon and Chu Tian's clone's aura was much stronger than his. The power erupted in the final moment was not inferior to the 8th True Spirit Layer, it actually cut off the great ancient demon's eye!

This phenomenon was illogical, it confused Mei Ji.

Actually it was normal not to understand. There weren't many people who could understand it and it was abnormal to understand it!

Chu Tian did not practice any body transformation techniques and didn't train and clone puppet techniques, this move was something he had learned accidentally.

Chu Tian's main battle technique is the «Netherworld Flickering Flame Slash», this cultivation technique needed the Netherworld Flame to be used. When it was cultivated to its peak, it reached the Netherworld Clone Slash. The Netherworld Clone Slash was to transform the Netherworld Ghost Flames into the user, erupting with the same attack as the main body.

When Chu Tian's cultivation was gradually increased and he obtained more and more, the Phaseless Sword, the self made Heart's Sword, and the Netherworld Sword breaking in the Death Ice Field. The «Netherworld Flame Sword Art» was weak by itself, but with Chu Tian absorbing the Ice Spirit Flame's will and the Netherworld Flame swallowing the Ice Spirit Flame, there was a strange mutation that perfectly combined Chu Tian and the Netherworld Ghost Flame as one.

The Netherworld Ghost Flame was always a weapon spirit existence.

But the weapon spirit had become a part of Chu Tian.

Chu Tian's body was the weapon and the flame was the spirit, so naturally he could manipulate it as he wished. Adding in Chu Tian's Divine Sense reaching the Vision Domain Realm, Chu Tian could combine his will to Netherworld's Mind, creating this «Netherworld Clone Technique».

This was a true clone technique!

The weapon spirit Netherworld was already a strong goon.

The reason why Chu Tian rarely let it out was that Chu Tian needed to use the Netherworld Flame when he fought. Once he released the Netherworld weapon spirit, Chu Tian couldn't use the Netherworld Flame or the Netherworld Flickering Flame Slash.

Chu Tian had already gradually understood his sword art.

Because of this, Chu Tian had more uses for Netherworld, even making this kind of clone secret technique. This kind of clone was stronger than the main body, but the difference with the main body was that the Netherworld Clone could only use a single sword source spirit and normal cultivation techniques, completely different from the wide variety of techniques the main body had.

Chu Tian gathered all his energy and he released Netherworld. He used his remaining energy to teleport away, so when Mei Ji and Shadow saw Chu Tian, he wasn't injured at all.

Chu Tian could directly control the clone.

At the same time, because the clone's core was the weapon spirit Netherworld, the clone had its own consciousness. When Chu Tian couldn't control it or something happened, Netherworld could make its own decision based on the situation.

The different coloured crystal body of the great ancient demon like it had lost its controller immediately turned stiff and gave ear rending shaking sounds. There was no power behind it and there was only the sound of death.

The great ancient demon's body was the Five Coloured Immortal Tree.

The Five Coloured immortal Tree gave birth to an Immortal Fruit, so there were many uses for it. It contained a very strong energy that wouldn't be inferior to the Five Coloured Flood Dragon Fruit. The Five Coloured Flood Dragon Fruit was the demon's core and losing the core, no matter how strong the body was, it was no use in the end.

The little fox jumped on top of the demon's unmoving head and sucked at the demon's large body, drawing out a five coloured spiritual energy from the demon's crystalline body, gradually sucking it into itself. The little fox's body quickly inflated and the demon's large body was like ice under intense sunlight, quickly melting away.

When the little fox sucked up the great ancient demon's body, it gave a satisfied burp. It spat out a five coloured breath and its round body turned into its small original form. The demon's body had already become half as big, with parts of it becoming stone without any light, which finally scattered apart.

Mei Ji and Shadow were speechless.

Whether it was the human or the fox, they were all monsters. How many hidden skills had they taken out?

Chu Tian placed the five coloured crystalline fruit into the gourd and took out a True Spirit Pill to recover while also putting away the heavily injured Divine Servants on the ground.

The Divine Servants with Divine Blood in them wouldn't die that easily.

Unless a powerful enough attack could instantly destroy the Divine Servant's body and evaporate the blood, otherwise normal methods couldn't deal any fatal damage to them. The Divine Servants were heavily injured by the great ancient demon's attack and in just a few minutes, they all recovered from most of that.

Even the refined puppets were undying monsters!

Could it be that the things related to this human couldn't be measured with common sense?

Chu Tian wanted to take possession of the Immortal Fruits alone, so he had to have some kind of reason. He seriously said, "It's fine that you didn't do a thing at the most critical moment, but you specially cursed me behind my back. So, there is no portion for you because these are the fruits of my success!"

What could the two of them say?

Chu Tian didn't sign any contracts on how to divide the spoils and Mei Ji and Shadow had indeed not been a single bit of help while they were dealing with the great ancient demon, so what qualification did they have to take a piece?

"Since you said this, I'm more assured." Chu Tian gave Mei Ji a laugh and said, "We've made too much noise, those fellows will catch up. We shouldn't stay here for long, let's go!"

Actually with the strength of Chu Tian's group, as long as they weren't surrounded, they wouldn't necessarily lose, but there was no need to waste energy on them. Chu Tian needed to continue his treasure hunt, so he led the two of them away.

As Chu Tian expected.

Less than half an hour after they left, several peak experts led by Kildan and Zorro appeared where the great ancient demon had been.

"The marks are very fresh." Zorro poked the ground with a blade and sniffed it, "These intense signs of battles, it shows that the battle here was very fierce. They should have escaped and there aren't any casualties."

The dark giant asked in a confused voice, "What should we do?"

"Humph, who care about them." The dark spirit beast who had suffered from Chu Tian's Netherworld Flame said in a voice filled with hatred, "From the scent, they should have escaped less than an hour ago. I don't think they've gone far."

Kildan said without hesitation, "Chase, we can't let them leave this place alive!"

Chapter 544: Demon Burial Cave

The space inside the Devil's Gate was very big and the spiritual energy was thousands of times richer than the outside world. Not only did it breed many precious treasures that countless experts fought over, there were also many ancient ruins. Each ruin contained the treasures left by the ancient ancestors, this attraction was not less than heaven and earth treasures.

While exploring ruins, one could have the chance to find various divine weapons forged in the great ancient era or cultivation techniques and secret techniques. These things that could directly increase one's strength or battle power, who wouldn't be greedy for them?

Because the chasers were very tight on their tails.

Chu Tian passed many ruins and didn't have the time to explore them. He could only keep changing positions and deception to mislead Kildan and the pursuers. When he was certain of keeping a safe distance, he would continue searching for treasures. For now, it was just a game of hide and seek.

Who told them to have innate spatial energy?

Chu Tian had a large bottle of True Spirit Pills, it was good enough for them to keep playing. Also with the little fox's treasure searching ability, they found quite a few hidden treasures. After this journey, he had harvested quite a bit.

A shrill wail filled with sorrow.

It resounded through the horizon!

A flaming bird was killed by the three of them working together.

This flaming demon bird was found in the central region and other than the great ancient demon, it was the most intense fight. There were large holes scattered in a several kilometer range around the battle, with each hole being filled with lava. This was all formed by the attacks of the flame bird, so it could be seen how powerful its attacks were.

The flame bird had a battle strength in the peak 9th True Spirit Realm!

This flame was powerful enough to burn any material!

The three of them hunted this beast using Mei Ji's illusion technique, finally succeeding in taking down this powerful monster. However, after the flame bird fell, it did not directly die and the flames condensed into a large crystalline egg.

"This is a beast with a phoenix bloodline, so it can revive like a phoenix. It will turn into an egg each time it is killed and it can restore all of its battle strength if it has enough time to absorb energy. This monster is simply undying!"

"Is there a way to seal it?"

"That is not easy. The phoenix is a divine beast and it can break seals. This is a beast with a portion of the phoenix bloodline, but it can still resist most of the seal unless the seal's power far surpasses its own."

The flame bird was close to the peak 9th True Spirit Layer.

How could this egg be sealed unless one was past the True Spirit Realm?

If they didn't have a way to seal the flame bird, it could revive at any moment. An existence with this kind of powerful strength, the consequences would be unimaginable if it revived!

Shadow said with knit brows, "Since it's this troublesome, why don't we destroy the egg and not allow it to revive!"

"Idiot, this egg is also a Immortal Grade Item, would it still be worth anything if you break it?" Chu Tian snappily said, "We can't break it, we have to think of another way!"

The flame bird was the descendant of the fire phoenix and the fire phoenix was a divine beast. A pureblood divine beast would be a Divine Item, but this flame bird was much lower. However, this essence egg still contained the essence of the phoenix blood, so if it was given to Nangong Yun, it could quickly raise her Great Nirvana Scripture to the Perfection Realm!

Breaking the egg was like placing the cart before the horse and if they didn't break the egg, it was like carrying a time bomb. This flame bird could revive at any moment and everyone had just experienced the flame bird's might, so they didn't want to fight it again!

The little fox called out to Chu Tian and pointed at the egg before pointing at itself, volunteering itself.

"You have a way? Good, then give it a try!"

The little fox walked in front of the fiery crystalline egg and used its claw to draw a seal on the egg. Chu Tian had never seen this seal before, but it should be a great ancient demonic seal. Even the strongest seal wouldn't have any effect on the egg, but when the little fox drew the seal, the flames began to weaken like it couldn't hold on any longer.

It was enough!

The little fox sucked in and and a powerful suction came from the seal. The fire red crystalline egg released a sharp bird's cry and a struggling purple red illusion was pulled out. It had a pair of wings and was covered in flames, it was actually the flame bird the three of them had just fought.

The little fox saw this and pulled out a puppet. It licked it with its tongue and after it was covered in saliva, it pulled out towards the soul.

The flame bird's soul was pulled out, but it was like it was made of rubber. Although it seriously distorted, it didn't break. The little fox revealed a look of struggle and almost couldn't hold on.

After the flame bird became an egg, it was when its soul was at its weakest.

Even like this, it was still a powerful soul, so how could it be pulled out that easily? The little fox had not done this before and it found that it was harder than it imagined.

Chu Tian understood what the little fox wanted to do and instantly released his spiritual energy. His eyes turned the purple colour representing his soul power and a purple sickle chopped down in the air.

"Soul Harvest!"

The tenacious flame bird's soul was cut off.

The little fox revealed a look of joy and immediately put the soul away. He added a few more seals and made the seal on the puppet stronger. Shadow saw everything and he asked in a confused voice, "What is it doing?"

"It pulled out the soul of the flame demon bird and sealed it inside that strange puppet." Mei Ji had never seen this kind of strange thing before, "No matter how strong the flame bird is, it cannot possibly revive without a soul."

The energy around the egg didn't weaken at all, but the soul had already been stolen.

This meant that even if the energy gathered could support reincarnation, without a soul to activate it, it didn't have any meaning at all.

Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction, "Now bad!"

The little fox proudly put the puppet away. Since Chu Tian became Miracle City's City Lord, the little fox had a large group of followers, so it didn't lack souls to use. The little fox placed normal souls into the soul bottle and used them like consumable goods. The special souls were sealed inside soul puppets to make them easier to use.

Now that it had subdued the flame demon bird's soul, the little fox's strength had increased.

The pursuers came closer!

The little fox's sharp senses felt this and it immediately reported to Chu Tian. It revealed a fighting look to Chu Tian, giving him its suggestion! Run, run, run, what run? Directly fight them!

Now that it could summon a powerful beast, there was no need to fear this motley crew!

Chu Tian wasn't in a rush to make this decision because even if he wanted to fight, it was important to pick the right battlefield. If the nearby things could be used, they would be able to fight with half the effort.

He looked into the distance after putting away the fire egg, seeing a large palace ruins. The scale was more difficult to see compared to the others and this position was close to the center of the Devil's Gate.

"What is that place?"

"Demon Burial Cave." Mei Ji replied to Chu Tian's question, "That place is said to be the entrance to another place, but it is filled with unheard of demons. It's always been a forbidden place."

"Fox, take a look at the situation!"

The little fox began exploring with its Divine Eye, first looking at the area surrounding the palace. Looking at the surface, there weren't any suspicious things moving in the ruins. The ruins were covered in destroyed buildings, as well as strange large holes.

There was nothing?

Impossible!

Even if Chu Tian hadn't personally gone to that place, he could feel the malignant auras coming from it. This was a place where demons gathered, there was no reason for it to be as calm as it was now.

What is going on?

Chu Tian carefully inspected it a few times, but it was still the same!

"There are problems with these holes, take a look at what is inside."

After the fox obtained Chu Tian's instructions, it began to investigate the holes near the ruins. The image the little fox saw was transmitted to Chu Tian and Chu Tian could clearly see the holes were actually hiding giant green jade stones.

These things are all…..

Chu Tian was confident seeing these and he said to the fox, "Alright, now increase the range and let me see what is surrounding it."

The little fox started searching the rules and it was as expected. Because it was too dangerous, people didn't dare explore the ruins, so there were many good things hidden in the ruins.

There was a temple in the center of the ruins.

The temple had tens of metal statues and they weren't corroded even after being left for so long. When the little fox began to investigate the statues, it was pleasantly surprised to find that the eyes of these sculptures were all made of Eyes of the Star.

Eye of the Star!

Close to a hundred pieces of Eyes of the Star!

What kind of wealth was this!

Chu Tian had already found a spatial mine and he wouldn't need to be afraid of lacking spatial crystals once he started mining them, so the most lacking material would be Eyes of the Star. Who would have thought that he would find over a hundred pieces, this was equal to a hundred Transport Towers. The value of these already surpassed normal Immortal Grade Items for Chu Tian.

Looking further in!

The little fox had just moved its Divine Sense in when it met an invisible barrier that it couldn't pass through no matter what.

There was something that could shield against Divine Sense?

It didn't matter! He had to obtain these Eyes of the Star!

Chu Tian was worrying how to return to Miracle City. As long as he made several Transport Towers with these Eyes of the Star, wasn't returning to the surface a matter of seconds?

"Kildan's group is close behind us and you guys should have recovered." Chu Tian said without hesitation, "I feel that we shouldn't waste energy avoiding them and clean them out here!"

"Alright!"

Shadow was already waiting for this!

Mei Ji felt that even if Chu Tian was powerful, fighting over twenty peak experts with the three of them, it would be very hard to win. Only Chu Tian had created too many incredible miracles that Mei Ji didn't trust her views. Being chased like this was not a method, so she wanted to see what plans he had!

Chapter 545: Trap

Kildan, Zorro, and close to twenty experts were currently gathering in the wastelands. They had chased the entire way and in front of them was the famous Demon Burial Cave. The thing Kildan was most worried about was that these fellows would choose to run into the Demon Burial Cave.

How risky of a place was the Demon Burial Cave?

If Mei Ji's group entered the Demon Burial Cave, there was no need to continue this task.

The Demon Burial Cave was a legendary cave that buried countless great ancient era demons and countless fierce demon beasts, creating a very powerful resentment. No one knew what kind of incredible being was created in this kind of extreme environment.

There were many brave explorers who had taken the initiative to explore the Demon Burial Cave, but not a single one came back alive. Mei Ji's head could bring quite a bit of benefits, but it was not worth Kildan taking this risk.

But the Flame Demon City vice City Lord Kildan knew the danger of the Demon Burial Cave.

Mei Ji was Darkness City's vice City Lord, it was impossible that she didn't know what it meant to enter the Demon Burial Cave.

At leasts Mei Ji wouldn't take this risk and kept heading in and out of the surrounding area of the Demon Burial Cave. Therefore, Kildan's group still had a chance, but whether they succeeded all depended on luck.

This human of unknown origin was too sly!

They could always disappear on time when they were about to catch up!

Kildan was filled with rage and he was determined to kill this human.

The Devil's Gate area was very big, so how easy was it to catch someone with innate spatial energy with this bit of people? But it didn't matter, they would consume his energy to death!

Who didn't know that spatial energy was very consuming on spirit energy?

The human escaping alone would consume quite a bit of energy, not to mention he was carrying two people. Just a few times would be enough to consume his spirit energy!

Who would have thought that Chu Tian wouldn't be affected at all. Each time he avoided being chased down, he even had time to look for treasures, this was something people couldn't understand or accept!

It was the final chance!

Kildan definitely wouldn't chase into the Demon Burial Cave, but based on Chu Tian and Mei Ji's movements, they could guess their path and move ahead of them to lay an ambush. Since they couldn't catch them, they would hide their aura and wait for them.

"Pay attention, they're here!"

Kildan and Zorro were very excited, their plan this time seemed to work because they found two figures moving quickly in the distance. It was no one else but Darkness City's vice City Lord Mei Ji and City Lord's son Shadow.

Where was the human?

They wouldn't care that much, they would talk about it after catching these two!

These were experts of various cities that wasted all this time chasing these people down. They were already filled with anger, how could they let them go now that they had caught them? That human didn't matter, Kildan had more people, so how could they care about a trivial human!

"Wait for them to approach."

Zorro fused into the background like a ghost, he was already gathering his energy. As long as his prey entered his range, he could instantly kill them. Mei Ji still charged forward without sensing anything, as the distance became smaller and they came closer.

At this time!

"Wait a minute!" Mei Ji suddenly stopped moving forward and said to Shadow beside her, "This place isn't right, leave!"

Shadow began to escape with Mei Ji without saying another word.

"Mei Ji, your death is here!" Kildan erupted with an angry roar that could shake a mountain, "You cannot escape! Chase!"

The twenty ambushers were already prepared.

Although Mei Ji became vigilant before entering their ambush range, they already believed the two of them could not escape.

The Succubus and dark elf's speed was not slow, but their escape speed clearly wasn't fast enough. Mei Ji quickly flew into the air and turned into several figures.

"Charming Shadow Dance!"

Each shadow was no different from the real one and they all escaped in different directions.

Kildan sent a palm over and most of the shadows were scattered, while the other shadows were scattered under the attacks of the other experts. At this time, Zorro had already led four Shadow Demon experts to approach and five Soul Chasing Chains were thrown at the two of them.

Once the Shadow Demons attacked, even if it wasn't fatal, it would stop Mei Ji and Shadow from moving. Once the other experts surrounded them, it was impossible for the two of them to escape alive.

Their goal was already reached!

The prey had already been attracted into Chu Tian's planned area!

Mei Ji felt the aura behind her become stronger and stronger. Kildan and Zorro's attacks were about to hit and she couldn't help feeling worried. She shouted out in a bit of a panic, "Human, if you don't appear now, will we die here?"

"What are you in a hurry for? Aren't I here now!" Chu Tian teleported in front of them and placed a hand on each of them, "Go!"

"Damn!" Kildan roared with anger, "He wants to use his spatial ability again! Stop him!"

Zorro already charged in front of them and slashed down with a dark blade, trying to cut Chu Tian in half before he could use his spatial ability.

He was a bit too late in the end.

They teleported before they were hit by the blade, causing it to hit thin air...They ran, they ran again!

Kildan and the other demons were seething with rage, but they didn't have time to get angry before there was a tremble in the ground, followed by volcanic eruptions. They looked into the distance and they saw several columns of green flame shooting into the sky.

"What is going on?"

Everyone was stunned to see the green columns of flames shooting in the sky and they couldn't react in time. In just a few seconds, there were hundreds of green specks above them and when the came back to their sense, they found that they were meteors covered in green flames.

"We've been tricked!" Zorro's face fell as he shouted out, "Quickly leave!"

It was clearly too late to realize it now, this attack covered several kilometers. The countless green meteors fell down like bombs and like stones being thrown into calm water, they created might waves on the calm ground.

Each meteor did not just create a giant impact, each meteor also summoned a fierce and terrifying flame demon. Several hundred flame demons appeared in this place with each one having a decent strength, charging at these people.

This was just the beginning.

While the meteor shower still fell, several especially big rocks fell to the ground. There were giants that appeared in each of the large holes. These giants were over ten feet tall and they were covered in a layer of rock armour, which released flames from its slits.

Hell Fire Demons!

These were Hell Fire Demons!

They were over ten Hell Fire Demons!

Chu Tian found these dark green giant stones in the holes that were actually deep slumbering Hell Fire Demons.

Chu Tian's plan this time was quite simple. Kildan had already been chasing them for an hour or two, they almost caught them several times, so their hearts must be filled with anger. He intentionally sent out Mei Ji as bait to draw them into the position he wanted them in.

Chu Tian and the little fox awakened the Hell Fire Demons before quickly leaving with their spatial ability, letting these fellows play with the Hell Fire Demons.

When the Hell Fire Demon fell in Southern Summer Country's Thunder State, it almost destroyed Thunder State.

Now over ten Hell Fire Demons were awakened and they were all stronger than the one from Thunder State, being in the 9th True Spirit Layer. The over ten Hell Fire Demons also summoned over hundreds of flaming demons, creating a very intense battle.

"We've falling into a trap!"

"Kill our way out, kill our way out!"

Kildan cleared out several flaming demons, finally sending a punch at the Hell Fire Demon blocking the way. Although Kildan's cultivation was shocking, these Hell Fire Demons were not simple, it only moved back a few steps after taking this attack.

The rock on its chest cracked, but it wasn't injured at all.

The Hell Fire Demon was filled with anger as it immediately sent a giant fist out as a counterattack. Kildan and the Hell Fire Demon matched punches and although the pure strength wasn't weaker than the Hell Fire Demon's, there was still the Green Abyss Flame that came from the Hell Fire Demon's body. This largely increased its destructive power, so Kildan felt very strained.

The dark giant vice City Lord was surrounded by three Hell Fire Demons. His strength was strong enough to barely contend with one, so was there a need to mention being surrounded by three of them? He tried going all out against the Green Abyss Flame, but at the most critical moment of breaking through, the dark giant was covered in Green Abyss Flames and was killed with a pitiful cry.

At the same time.

The dark spirit beast was also surrounded.

The Green Abyss Flame erupted on the bodies of the Hell Fire Demons and instantly swallowed him, turning him into a fireball. The injuries from the Netherworld Flames had not healed yet and now he was surrounded by the Abyss Flame, so he could only die being filled with hate.

"Charge out!"

"Charge out!"

Kildan and Zorro both only took out a single Hell Fire Demon. With the two of them in the lead, they killed around half of the Hell Fire Demons and the flaming demons. It was very hard to charge out, with their numbers falling down to eight and each person being in a pitiful state.

They never would have dreamed that.

Chu Tian would have arranged this kind of trap for them.

Now they were covered in heavy injuries, they couldn't stay here any longer.

Kildan and Zorro made the decision to stop chasing Mei Ji, but they found the three of them blocking the path. Chu Tian had his hands crossed across his chest as he said with a smile, "You're too slow, I've already been waiting a long time!"

"Human!"

"You think you can kill us all with just these Hell Fire Demons?"

The demons had fallen under Chu Tian's sinister plots, so they were filled to the bones with hatred for him. They wanted to drink his blood and feast on his flesh, cut him into pieces and burn him to ashes!
