Chapter 1337 A Vast Space
However, upon seeing that the destination was the Land of Hope, several people let out a sigh of relief.
The Lord of the Underworld did not say much, as time was of the essence. Only Chen Shu spoke to the group about Chen Yang's whereabouts.
When everyone heard that Chen Yang had taken Shi Xinchou and Wu Min to the main city of Yaodu Prefecture, they gasped.
The people were aware that Yaodu Prefecture was the mastermind behind everything that had happened in the Land of Hope.
Yet, Chen Yang had gone there with only two people?
From Chen Shu's words, they could tell that Chen Shu might not have been aware of this matter either.
However, no one asked how they would go to help Chen Yang.
The display of skill by the old shopkeeper just now was enough to make them understand how terrifying the old shopkeeper's strength was.
...
By this time, Yaodu Prefecture no longer existed. It was not that Chen Yang had wiped it out, but the Prefect of Yaodu himself had uprooted the entire prefecture.
Chen Yang leaned against a ruin, his divine abilities having vanished.
The only parts of him that could move were his eyes and his willpower, which he used to resist fainting.
Not far from Chen Yang was the Prefect of Yaodu, whose condition was no different from Chen Yang's.
The injuries on both of them were internal, and they were rapidly consuming their lifespans.
The Prefect of Yaodu moved his lips and whispered, "Why, why must you, the favored children of destiny, occupy the luck of the human race? I am not reconciled."
"Jiang Jiantao, or you, why?"
As the Prefect of Yaodu's muttering reached Chen Yang's ears, Chen Yang took a deep breath, his voice hoarse from the wound on his neck, "I don't know what you mean by favored children of destiny, and I have never met Jiang Jiantao."
"To have come this far, I have only one thought in my heart, and that is that you must die."
"Not only because of what you have done to the human race, but more so because I never expected that you would even harm the people of Yaodu Prefecture."
Chen Yang was also very confused. From beginning to end, Chen Yang had no intention of destroying anyone.
No matter how ruthless he had been, it was all in response to the other party's actions.
The Prefect of Yaodu was stunned. He now fully understood the meaning behind Chen Yang's words.
Ignoring his own injuries, the Prefect of Yaodu laughed maniacally, "I really don't know if you are hypocritical or if you truly think this way."
"For beings at our level, are their lives truly important?" As the Prefect of Yaodu spoke, his exposed bones began to dim.
This made the Prefect of Yaodu's eyes tremble.
Chen Yang replied with only two words: "Important!"
His voice was not loud, but it was extremely firm.
The Prefect of Yaodu closed his eyes and pondered Chen Yang's two words. After a few seconds, he said with a wry smile, "Let's just say you're telling the truth."
"No matter what the Saint Moon Divine Venerable told you, do not believe him. He has lived until now by relying on lies."
"Also, the passage between the Human Realm and the Underworld has reopened. Yaodu Prefecture merely accelerated the process. Even without me, this passage would eventually be opened one day."
"Humans are only humans when they are in the Human Realm. Whether they go to the Underworld or the Heavenly Realm, they are actually different from humans."
"Although the passage to the Heavenly Realm was destroyed, once one reaches the Nascent Soul realm, they can bypass the destroyed passage."
"Although you are from the Human Realm, I can feel that your bloodline originates from the Heavenly Realm..."
The Prefect of Yaodu's voice grew weaker and weaker until even Chen Yang could barely hear what he was saying.
Chen Yang saw the Prefect of Yaodu's eyes suddenly become hollow and realized abruptly.
The Prefect of Yaodu had died.
A strange gust of demonic wind blew past, and the Prefect of Yaodu's body turned to dust, leaving behind only a tattered robe and a few spatial treasures to prove his existence.
Seeing several streams of light approaching him from a distance, Chen Yang used his remaining sliver of mental energy to control the Peng Celestial Venerable to collect the Prefect of Yaodu's belongings.
Looking at the people before him, Chen Yang did not speak. His current body could not be recovered even with the consumption of more elixirs; instead, it might worsen his injuries.
All the cultivators at the peak of the Harmonious Dan realm who had been hiding in the dark emerged, their eyes filled with greed.
If a cultivator at the fifth layer of the Harmonious Dan realm could unleash such power, imagine what they might find if they could search Chen Yang for something...
Just as they were thinking this, Wu Min, who had been outside the battlefield, appeared.
Wu Min moved with speed, carrying Chen Yang on his back and preparing to flee. However, how could those who had targeted Chen Yang on the scene let him leave so easily?
These were all cultivators at the peak of the Harmonious Dan realm!
Seeing his path blocked, Wu Min gritted his teeth and cut open his palm. A wisp of blood energy swirled around the two of them, directly tearing open a spatial rift.
Although the space around them had been sealed by Wu Min, to strengthen the space, even Wu Min could not remove these seals in a short period. He could only use his vital blood to forcibly tear open space.
Wu Min said with a bitter smile, "Chen Yang, Chen Yang, don't you dare die!"
"That move just now cost me two hundred years of my lifespan. I didn't have much lifespan to begin with, and I was counting on you to refine lifespan pills for me!"
However, Chen Yang, who was on Wu Min's back, had already lost consciousness and fallen into a coma.
Several cultivators at the peak of the Harmonious Dan realm laughed outright when they saw Wu Min and Chen Yang attempting to escape from the chaotic space.
"If we truly let you two escape right under our noses, then we might as well just die!"
These people had not sustained the slightest injury throughout the entire ordeal. Even if one person could not forcibly tear open the chaotic space, with their combined efforts, no seal, however powerful, could stop them.
Wu Min's face changed as he saw these people attempting to forcibly close the spatial rift he had torn open. His face turned pale. Was he really going to be buried here?
Just at the critical moment, an even more terrifying spatial rift appeared above the ruins.
Everyone looked up, including Wu Min.
Because this spatial rift was too large!
A distance of a hundred meters... it was the largest spatial rift they had ever seen.
Following that, figures began to emerge from it.
Harmonious Dan third layer, Harmonious Dan fifth layer, Harmonious Dan second layer...
These people's realms were varied, but they were all cultivators of the Harmonious Dan realm.
Finally, a few individuals at or above the fifth layer of the Harmonious Dan realm appeared.
At first, these cultivators at the peak of the Harmonious Dan realm might not have understood what was happening, but as the number of people grew, they all understood.
These people were all humans!
