Chapter 238 - Heading for the Divine Realm (2/2)

“Master, the fried tomato omelettes are ready!”

“Oh.”

Lonemoon conjured a hand seal and wiped the oil stains from his shoulder. He returned to his seat around the table and looked around worriedly. It looked like he had better arrange everything in the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible so that the disciples would not be left behind to worry.

“Don’t worry!” Yi Qing placed the plate of fried tomato omelettes in front of Shen Ying and said, “The Godfiend did not hesitate to merge the two realms, and even requested for us to head to the Divine Underworld. It’s obvious that he has already thought of everything. It’s likely that he has already prepared everything that we might need.”

Lonemoon paused. He was just going to ask something when the ground began to shake. From not far away, he felt thick and rich demonic Qi charging toward the sky. A moment later, it filled the entire Heavenly Palace. The Immortal Qi was dissipating from the palace by the second.

“This is…” Was that the direction of Lan Hua? Looking at the magnitude of this demonic Qi… “Lan Hua is ascending!”

Lonemoon jumped to his feet. Lan Hua was a Skyfiend. If he’s ascending, that means he’s going to become… a Demon King!

Lan Hua was a demon, but his heart has always been for the immortal realm. Could it be that this was the Godfiend’s plan all along? If Lan Hua becomes a Demon King, even if the three of them left, the immortal realm and the demonic realm would be kept in balance.

Without a doubt, the Godfiend had everything planned!

Lonemoon’s worries were by now mostly dealt with. “Shen Ying, let’s…” Before he could finish speaking, a golden light appeared beside Shen Ying, engulfing all of them.

“Holy shit! It’s that jade token!” Lonemoon exclaimed. It was too late The three of them disappeared.

The Godfiend was a liar! He said that this was activated by immortal Qi, but he did not say that any amount of immortal Qi would do!

Somewhere in the Divine Underworld.

Thick immortal Qi covered the entire forest. It looked like a fog that prevented any of them from seeing too far and it seemed to be getting thicker, as if condensing to form something. A few minutes later, the thick and dense forest suddenly became white as snow. Between the clouds, a huge gate appeared, covered with the diagram of many arrays. It looked extremely ancient. All around it, there were talismans with golden words on them floating around. Each of the talismans emitted a strange force.

Suddenly, they heard a tearing noise. The gate opened and a blinding golden light shone from inside, illuminating the entire forest. A heavenly voice floated toward them. It sounded like it was omnipresent – there was no way for them to determine how far away the speaker was.

Then, a loud dragon’s roar broke through the air. A black figure charged toward them, flying high up into the sky. The dragon’s roar seemed to echo all throughout the clouds and the sea so that there was no end to it. The surrounding immortal Qi grew thicker and thicker. The gates disappeared and turned into a blue divine energy that flew toward the figure in the clouds. The black dragon appeared intermittently between the clouds, as if excited to be flying freely in the sky.

A divine voice filled the sky.

“Hahaha… I’ve finally become a dragon and ascended to the divine realm!” The dragon’s voice was extremely loud. It laughed as it left behind bolts of lightning. “From this day on, I am a true divine being.”

Once it finished speaking, a loud thunder sounded. The black dragon immediately let out red bolts of lightning that caused the sky to darken. Everything was pitch black. The dragon continued to dance among the clouds, its divine suppression capable of being felt all the way from the ground. The more it flew around, the more excited the dragon became.

“Bai Ze! I will definitely pay you back for all that you’ve done to me these hundreds of thousands of years!” It sounded like it was making a promise. Then, it spat out a great red bolt of lightning.The crashing sounds echoed throughout the space and the dragon charged toward the ground, lightning bolts appearing all over its body. It looked like it was going to take its anger out on the forest below.

The lightning and frightening suppression went further and further away as the dragon broke through the fire it left behind in the air, through the clouds, and through the trees. The three of them watched as the dragon seemed to charge straight toward the ground.

Suddenly, behind the trees, a figure appeared. The figure was in white robes and had messy hair. She looked up slightly toward the great dragon and, as if out of habit, waved in a greeting. “Hey, Long Worm!”

“…”
