Chapter 641: Leng Tianhe’s Request (2/2)
Ancient Desolate Land, Heavenly Extermination Lake:
A man carrying a long sword on his back walked calmly on the greenish surface. As he traveled on top of the water, ripples spread out.
White clouds drifted in the sky above, spanning thousands of kilometers. However, there was a black mark in this white sky; something was clearly strange.
When one walked nearer, one would discover that the black mark was a ma.s.s of thick black clouds. An island filled with Yin energy sat beneath the dark clouds.
The youth carrying the sword on his back looked at the scene in front and said, “The Dark Church’s headquarters looks pretty much as expected.”
This person was precisely the Chu Chaoyun who had not been seen since the Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion. Unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, he appeared here.
Several strong cultivators stood behind Chu Chaoyun, their auras unfathomable. Among them were the Sacred Heavenly Church’s Church Master, the master of the Devil Savanna’s mysterious black knights, and the Black Dragon Group’s leader.
Various important characters currently stood behind Chu Chaoyun with strangely respectful expressions.
In a secret room within a palace on the island, a man with black Qi surrounding him sat cross-legged. If one looked carefully, they would discover that this black-clad man appeared somewhat similar to Xiao Chen.
“Xiu!”
An image of the black-clad man seated cross-legged stood up and slowly turned solid. Soon, it was almost identical to the original person.
The clone pushed open the doors to the secret room. The guard standing at the side exclaimed in shock, “Church Master, you have ended your closed-door cultivation! I will go and inform the Acting Church Master.”
“I am only a clone. There is no need to make a big fuss of this!” The black-clad man smiled faintly and walked on.
Soon, the Acting Church Master rushed over with a group of disciples. When he saw this person, he immediately knelt down and said, “Church Master, why are you out of your closed-door cultivation?”
The black-clad man waved his hand, and a formless force instantly pulled this group of people back to their feet. He said, “Come with me to meet our guest.”
“Hu Chi!”
The mysterious black-clad man of the Dark Church waved his hand and led the group into the air. In a few breaths, they arrived before Chu Chaoyun.
When the mysterious black-clad man saw Chu Chaoyun, he smiled faintly. “Interesting. Ten thousand years ago, I destroyed the Tianwu Dynasty. Today, a group of the Tianwu Dynasty’s descendants is here to work together with me.”
Chu Chaoyun smiled carefreely and said, “As long as our goals align, it does not matter whom we work with. However, your strength disappoints me somewhat.”
“Zi! Zi!”
Right after Chu Chaoyun spoke, a golden flame suddenly burned in his eyes. The Heavenly Flame, which looked like molten gold, poured out and instantly lit up the black-clad man.
“The might is pretty good. Unfortunately, it is too slow. My insignificant clone can dodge it easily!”
The mysterious black-clad man reappeared in front of Chu Chaoyun and smiled. Then, he used his hand as a saber and thrust towards Chu Chaoyun’s chest.
“Dang!”
A golden beam of light fell from the skies above and turned solid. When the black-clad man’s hand struck Chu Chaoyun’s chest, it gave off a metallic sound, causing the air to quake.
“Ka ca! Ka ca!”
The solid light shattered like pieces of gla.s.s and fell into the calm lake below. Then, they exploded and sent pillars of water soaring into the air.
When the light dispersed, the mysterious black-clad man smiled faintly and said, “Not bad. Your comprehension of your ancestors’ skills is pa.s.sable.”
“Same for you. Back then, the Azure Emperor’s sword had not crippled you,” Chu Chaoyun retorted, showing no fear of this person. He continued, “Let’s cut to the chase. Open the door to the Demonic World for me.”
The mysterious black-clad man said unhurriedly, “There is no rush. We still have to wait for one person. Without her, even if you go to the Demonic World, you will not be able to learn any high-ranked techniques of the Demon Races.”
“Hu!”
Just at this moment, a girl wearing a veil and a purple dress came from the horizon. This girl had a purple mark on her forehead and bewitching eyes.
One glance from this girl would make people yield to their l.u.s.t, falling forever into depravity.
Chu Chaoyun’s complexion betrayed his alarm. He felt a formless danger from this girl. He asked, “Who is she?”
“She is Leng Yue, one of the old eighteen Demon Monarchs of the Deep Abyss Demonic World.”

The sun rose and set. In the past few days, the peals of thunder from Thunder Emperor Valley never stopped.
“It has been five days already. Why has the lightning not smitten this fellow to death yet? This does not make sense!”
“This is really strange. In the past five days, we did not even take more than a step. However, that immortal divine lightning seems to recognize this brat, not doing anything to him.”
“I’m starting to feel a little dizzy. My Essence is almost exhausted. If we keep waiting like this, we will end up falling into the water first before he gets smitten by lightning.”
“Let’s just keep waiting. This fellow is the King Grade True Dragon genius. There must be plenty of Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and all sorts of treasure on him.”
“Indeed, this is a rare opportunity. It’s a chance to obtain something without putting in any effort!”
All those half-step Martial Monarchs waiting for Xiao Chen to be struck by lightning ran out of Essence one by one. However, they still waited with intense antic.i.p.ation, clenching their teeth as they fought to hang on.
