Chapter 943 (2/2)

This “not very far” was relative to the void.

For Lin Jing to travel there with his current speed, it would take several months at least.

Several months might not mean much to Lin Jing, but for Elder Bai and the patriarch of the Changyun Clan, who were currently still in peril, every moment of delay added to the danger.

Once Lin Jing had confirmed his intended direction on the map, he wasted no more time and set off…

Lin Jing departed from the entrance to the Land of Immortal Remnants, crossed the central void area of the three realms, and at last, after five months, he arrived at Demon Emperor City.

On this journey, Lin Jing also encountered other cultivators, even from the Cangyun Realm and Jiulin Realm who wanted to kill him for his treasures.

Among these, Lin Jing counter-killed three.

There were a few whom Lin Jing couldn’t defeat and ultimately escaped using System Space.

This Outer Spatial Void was shared by the three realms; encountering cultivators from the other two realms was not surprising at all.

Murders for the sake of treasures naturally occurred frequently.

After experiencing two ambushes, Lin Jing had seen through the rules of survival in this Outer Spatial Void.

Here, one not only had to guard against cultivators from the other two realms but even those from one’s own realm.

One time, Lin Jing was sneak attacked by a fellow cultivator from the Xuanqing Realm who was also from the Eastern Spirit Realm and had some connection to the Elixir Alliance.

This person had seemed very friendly towards Lin Jing initially and had almost become sworn brothers with him.

When he learned that Lin Jing was heading to Demon Emperor City, he also expressed a desire to accompany him.

However, the moment Lin Jing took out the Innate Dao Treasure Jinghong Furnace during an encounter with enemies, the man’s eyes changed.

After driving away the enemy, his greed overpowered him, and he sneak attacked Lin Jing.

But he was merely an early-stage Mahayana cultivator, and Lin Jing was already on his guard, so the sneak attack was unsuccessful.

Although they were both early-stage Mahayana cultivators, Lin Jing’s combat power was far superior to his, and the man stood no chance, ultimately being counter-killed by Lin Jing.

Ever since then, Lin Jing no longer traveled with cultivators from the same realm; he proceeded alone to Demon Emperor City.

…

Before the Demoness Empress arrived, Demon Emperor City was occupied by a peak stage Mahayana Heavenly Peng and was known as Heavenly Demon City.

But upon the Demoness Empress’s arrival, with just one move, she defeated the Heavenly Peng, subjugated him, and he willingly followed the Demoness Empress, becoming her subordinate.

This event happened not too long ago, merely a few hundred years prior.

And henceforth, Heavenly Demon City was renamed Demon Emperor City.

Demon Emperor City allowed both Demon Clan and Human Cultivators to enter, but a payment of Spirit Stones was required, and the entrance fee was quite expensive, at least one Supreme Grade Spirit Stone.

Moreover, no fighting was allowed within Demon Emperor City.

Otherwise, one would be directly expelled from Demon Emperor City.

In severe cases, there was even the possibility of being killed on the spot.

Ever since the Demoness Empress came into power there, with her overseeing the city, no one dared to cause trouble in Demon Emperor City.

Lin Jing had come to Demon Emperor City to seek the Demoness Empress; Elder Bai and the patriarch of the Changyun Clan had previously come to negotiate with the Demoness Empress about the barriers of Immortal Realm.
