Chapter 1331: The Earth-Level Region
“Ancient Desolate Demon King, there’s something I might need your help with.”
Su Jingzhen’s consciousness located Ancient Desolate Demon King, the Demon King Realm expert, within the Spirit Elf Forest.
At Su Jingzhen’s words, Ancient Desolate Demon King’s expression turned grave.
By now, Su Jingzhen’s significance in Ancient Desolate Demon King’s eyes had risen far beyond a mere notch.
For Su Jingzhen to actively seek his aid, the matter’s urgency was paramount.
“How can I, Ancient Desolate Demon King, assist?”
Ancient Desolate Demon King inquired.
Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen replied, “I absorbed the core energy left by your Demon Sect, and now I can’t find a passage out. Hunag Gu, is there a way you could restore connections to other regions?”
A faint smile curved Ancient Desolate Demon King’s lips. “Ah, that’s the issue? It’s quite simple. When you collected the remnants of my Demon Sect, did you notice a spatial stone?”
All the items Su Jingzhen had gathered were now transformed into countless stars adorning the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
At Ancient Desolate Demon King’s mention, Su Jingzhen focused his mind and plucked a star from the sky. As its glow dimmed, it revealed a pitch-black stone the size of a millstone, radiating dense spatial fluctuations.
Su Jingzhen recognized it instantly—a spatial stone, essential for teleportation arrays, widely used across the Mortal Realm and Immortal Plane. Yet a stone of this magnitude remained rare even to him.
“That’s it—the very one,” Ancient Desolate Demon King confirmed with a slight nod.
He formed intricate hand seals, imprinting spiritual patterns onto the stone. Hidden runes on its surface condensed swiftly, igniting with light as intense spatial fluctuations surged forth.
“It’s done! I’ve activated it. The passages to other regions were forged through this spatial stone. Envoy, place it anywhere the Ancient Desolate City once stood, and the passage will emerge!”
A look of delight spread across Su Jingzhen’s face.
Without delay, he willed the spatial stone out of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
“Everyone, step back a bit. I’ll summon the passage,” Su Jingzhen announced to Huo Yang, You Yue, and the others.
Huo Yang’s eyes flickered with confusion, but before questions could form, Su Jingzhen tossed the stone into the air. Suspended mid-flight, it pulsed with spatial energy. Within a hundred-zhang radius, space twisted and warped, forming a vortex-like passage.
The aura from the passage starkly contrasted the Desolate Zone’s.
“Brother Jingzhen… how did you do that?” Huo Yang exclaimed, staring at him as if he were a celestial being.
Even You Yue’s eyes widened in shock. As she gazed at Su Jingzhen, golden text appeared before his eyes:
[Emotional Connection +75]
[Emotional Connection +75]
[Emotional Connection +75]
[Remaining Available Points: 59,848]
Yet for many in the Demon Warrior Legion, Su Jingzhen’s feats had grown numbingly routine. To them, their Grand Commander was nigh-omnipotent—no task seemed beyond him.
Su Jingzhen smiled and addressed the group.
“The passage is open, though I’m unsure which region it leads to. Should we keep scouring the Desolate Zone or proceed directly?”
“Running into the Ning Han Legion here was already a stroke of luck. Most Heavenly Water Family legions must be in other regions. Plus, this time, it’s not just their legions—Demon General Realm forces allied with them are here too. We can wipe them all out,” Huo Yang declared, her excitement flaring.
With Huo Yang’s decision, You Yue and the others raised no objections. They were here on her behalf, after all. For Su Jingzhen, the destination mattered little—he planned to absorb each region’s core energy regardless.
At this pace, he might shrink the month-long central trial to a mere two or three days.
The Demon Warrior Legion stepped within the passage’s hundred-zhang range. The spatial stone’s energy erupted again, enveloping them in overwhelming spatial power. Like an ultra-teleportation array, dazzling light and violent fluctuations engulfed them.
When they reemerged, they stood in a region thick with spiritual energy.
Upon arrival, Su Jingzhen and the others felt an immediate weight. Each step demanded far more effort than before.
“What region is this? Why do I feel so heavy? It’s as if immense gravity saturates the void,” someone remarked.
“I never expected us to leap straight from the Desolate Zone to the Earth-Level Region. The landing must be random—I wonder if any legions are nearby,” Huo Yang said, her excitement reigniting.
Her divine consciousness swept outward, but her limited cultivation revealed only rolling mountains and oppressive gravity.
“The Earth-Level Region, huh? Given this pervasive weight, it seems the Earthly Demon Sect specializes in such power,”
Su Jingzhen mused, anticipation glinting in his eyes.
He turned to the group.
“It’s straightforward. We lingered near the Ancient Desolate City for a while, so most in the Earth-Level Region have likely gathered at the Ancient Earth City. If we head there, we’ll surely encounter the Heavenly Water Family’s legions.”
As he spoke, a thread of killing intent rose within him.
Like the Ancient Desolate City, the Ancient Earth City held remnants of the Earthly Demon Sect.
Restoring the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss’s final twenty percent was growing harder.
Su Jingzhen hoped that by absorbing the core energies of the eight ancient demon sects—Heaven, Earth, Mystery, Yellow, Universe, Cosmos, Flood, and Wilderness—he could push it to ninety percent functionality. That would suffice.
By then, the Pure Land’s aid would grow far stronger. Su Jingzhen yearned to behold the perfect world that once drove the mightiest beings across realms into a frenzy.
“To find the Ancient Earth City, we just have to head toward the densest spiritual energy,” he concluded.
With their course set, the group sped toward the source of the oppressive gravity.
In less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, Su Jingzhen and the others detected sharp energy fluctuations ahead.
