Chapter 2187: Wanted (1/2)
An undetectable cold light immediately flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes when he heard the Empyrean Demon Cult again.
He could still clearly remember how he and Kai Ya had been hunted down by one of the vice-leaders, Huai An, on the Cloud Plane. He could remember every moment of when they fled desperately to the Blood Sun Empire.
He was only an Overgod back then. Against Huai An who had reached the Primordial realm, he was literally helpless. If it were not for the divine king, who kept Huai An busy for a while, he probably would not have been able to escape to the Blood Sun Empire.
However, even with that being the case, Huai An still pursued them to the imperial capital of the Blood Sun Empire. If a Primordial realm expert from the Blood Sun Empire did not intervene and stop Huai An, Jian Chen and Kai Ya probably would not have been able to board the spatial battleship and leave the Cloud Plane.
It could be said that they had left against their wills, forced to do so by the vice-leader of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Huai An. Jian Chen did not even have the chance to bid farewell to the people of the Tian Yuan clan.
Naturally, he held extremely deep resentment for Huai An.
“I wonder if I can kill Huai An once I reach the thirteenth layer of the Chaotic Body,” Jian Chen pondered. He could not help but tighten his fist. He was rather eager to increase his strength.
“Senior Xu Ran, I want to stay on planet Tianming for a while. I need to enter seclusion immediately and raise my strength. I don’t plan on leaving until I break through,” Jian Chen quickly made up his mind and said to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran thought about it a little and nodded, “That works too. I just happen to need some time for cultivation as well. Although I’ve already recovered from my wounds, I still need quite a lot of time to recover my lost cultivation so that I can return to my peak condition.”
Afterwards, the three of them landed on planet Tianming together. They were about to find a city as a temporary place to settle down in, but when they passed through a divine kingdom, they saw a battlefield in the distance where smoke rose up everywhere. An army composed of many Origin realm and Godhood cultivators were engaged in a battle of life and death, leading to so much bloodshed that it formed rivers.
In the sky, powerful energy formed storms that wreaked havoc in the surroundings. Several dozen Godkings engaged in an intense battle.
“It’s the Empyrean Demon Cult!” Looking at the demonic aura that occupied half the sky, Jian Chen could tell with a single glance that one side belonged to the Empyrean Demon Cult as he had also gone through something similar.
As he watched soldiers constantly die on the battlefield, Jian Chen fell silent. He felt sorrow for their deaths from the bottom of his heart.
He already knew that the Empyrean Demon Cult waged wars constantly in different places not to increase their strength. Rather, it was to collect the essence blood and soul energy of all the cultivators who died in the war. After that, they could condense blood beads and soul beads through a powerful formation.
After sighing secretly, Jian Chen did not stay there for much longer. He travelled off into the distance.
Before long, they stopped in the imperial capital of an ancient empire called ‘Thousand Leaf’.
“Not only are there powerful formations protecting this city, but the origin energy here is also several times denser than outside. Let’s just stay here for now,” Xu Ran looked at the grand city and said to Jian Chen and Kai Ya.
