Supernatural Insight Eyes

Chapter 2128 - 2129: There Is a Reason!

The Order Enforcer crossing blows with an Emperor-level Abyssal Demon—this was definitely a scene worth watching.

No one knew how powerful the Order Enforcer truly was, only that he was absolutely stronger than a Supreme Saint, and that was enough.

As for an Emperor-level Abyssal Demon, it was certainly also above Supreme Saints. A King-level Abyssal Demon’s strength was equivalent to a Supreme Saint; Emperor-level Abyssal Demons belonged to an even higher tier, so their power was naturally greater.

Right now it was strength against strength, very much worth seeing.

Pu Zhen personally took action against the Emperor-level Abyssal Demon; Garo did not make a move. All of the King-level Abyssal Demons on the battlefield had already been slaughtered by him.

In a flash of lightning and fire, blazing sparks swept across the sky. Under that dazzling flare, two figures were entangled together—one couldn’t tell who was who for a time.

Even Ye Qiu and the other Supreme Saints couldn’t see through a clash of this level.

Because the speed of the two was simply too fast—so fast they left no form, no shadow, no trace. Even those silhouettes were nothing more than afterimages.

Among everyone present, Garo’s strength was the highest aside from Pu Zhen; only he could see clearly.

Seeing Pu Zhen unleash several consecutive strikes, all of which were caught by the Emperor-level Abyssal Demon, Garo’s brows furrowed.

"This Emperor-level Abyssal Demon is no simple thing."

From Garo’s words one could tell that if it were him making a move instead, he might not be able to do what Pu Zhen was doing.

Because this Emperor-level Abyssal Demon was different from the ones they had seen before—somewhat special, its power exceeding that of many Emperor-level Abyssal Demons.

It was just like how there were ordinary Saints and Supreme Saints among Saints; among Emperor-level Abyssal Demons, strength also varied—some higher, some lower.

Today, this suddenly appearing Emperor-level Abyssal Demon was one of the stronger existences among Emperor-level Abyssal Demons.

Just as Garo was wondering how Pu Zhen would kill this powerful Emperor-level Abyssal Demon, his expression suddenly froze. He saw the demon’s entire body abruptly split apart, as if something had been planted inside it and was now propping its body open from within. Its core was snatched away by Pu Zhen in an instant.

Swish.

Garo flew to stand before Pu Zhen, murmuring, "Your strength has broken through?"

Pu Zhen smiled lightly and said, "Just a little."

"No wonder, no wonder!" Garo gave him a thumbs-up. To resolve an Emperor-level Abyssal Demon in such a short time could mean only one thing—Pu Zhen’s strength had grown even stronger.

Thinking of himself, Garo shook his head. Comparing people to people is infuriating; how was it that he kept getting surpassed by this guy? How were they supposed to keep playing together?

"Alright, have these kids return to the ancient city first. There’s a problem in the cosmic abyss; we can’t let them wander out freely anymore." Hearing Pu Zhen say this, Garo’s expression instantly became serious. When it came to the depths of the cosmic abyss, Garo knew it wouldn’t be a small matter.

Especially today, when something like an Emperor-level Abyssal Demon—something that might not appear even in a hundred years—had shown up. Did this mean that that great event was about to reappear?

At that thought, Garo’s head throbbed as if it were swelling to the size of a bucket. He really didn’t want that incident to happen. Otherwise, the Star River Path would once again be stained with endless blood, and many more people would die.

"Hopefully it’s not that matter." Garo had wanted to ask in detail, but seeing the change in Pu Zhen’s expression, he held back. Better to wait until they were back in the ancient city.

At Garo’s words, the many Martial Artists immediately hurried back. Some smart ones had already realized that the appearance of so many powerful Abyssal Demons today carried an extraordinary meaning.

Four hours later.

The vast majority of the young Martial Artists had all returned to Star River Ancient City. Once inside the city, some people let out a sigh of relief. Thinking back on what they had just experienced, many still felt lingering fear. If the Order Enforcer hadn’t appeared, many of them would have died there.

It could be said that quite a few of them had just picked their lives up from the jaws of death.

As for those Martial Artists who had already been killed by the Abyssal Demons before the Order Enforcer arrived, they could only feel a trace of misfortune on their behalf.

Many people were also regretting it—why had they gone to spectate that battle for no reason? In the end they brought disaster down on themselves, almost lost their lives; it really wasn’t worth it.

Though they regretted it, what had happened was done and couldn’t be undone.

Moreover, the Order Enforcer had summoned them all back, so there was definitely something going on. People began speculating why an Emperor-level Abyssal Demon would appear.

Some attributed the cause to the battle between Ye Qiu and the Taiyi Saint Heir. After all, if not for their clash, perhaps so many Abyssal Demons wouldn’t have appeared.

Especially when the Heavenly Dharma Phases collided and turned the cosmic abyss into their battlefield—that would certainly have enraged the Emperor-level Abyssal Demon within.

However, some held doubts, feeling that this line of thought was too simplistic and that there must be some other reason.

The Taiyi Saint Heir, Stone Demon Lord, the Wanderer and the others didn’t crowd with the masses but returned to their own residences. Whatever news there was, they could find out later; there was no need to make random guesses like everyone else.

Ye Qiu, Turquoise Pool, Jin Shanshun, and Qin Feng also returned to their quarters at the first opportunity.

Ye Qiu immediately began restoring his strength. The other three did not disturb him. They all knew that the duel with the Taiyi Saint Heir had taken a considerable toll on Ye Qiu.

For Ye Qiu, absorbing Spiritual Energy to restore his strength was secondary. The most important thing was to immediately digest the combat experience from his clash with the Taiyi Saint Heir.

Though he didn’t think much of the Taiyi Saint Heir, he had to admit that the Taiyi Saint Heir was absolutely his strongest opponent so far—especially that Heavenly Dharma Phase of his, a full hundred meters tall, already terrifying.

One could glimpse a Supreme Saint’s future height through their Heavenly Dharma Phase. The stronger the Heavenly Dharma Phase, the greater the chance of stepping into the Myriad Heavens Realm.

Ye Qiu’s Heavenly Dharma Phase had only just condensed; it was still very small. To reach the Taiyi Saint Heir’s height would take quite some time.

This was meticulous, slow work, not something that could be achieved in a day or two.

Ye Qiu couldn’t rush it and could only take it step by step.

"In terms of Heavenly Dharma Phase, even though mine was condensed using Bloodline Power, compared to his, it’s still a notch weaker. In a short clash, my Heavenly Dharma Phase can still hold its own, but as time drags on, it will definitely lose." Ye Qiu had a very clear understanding of himself.

The Taiyi Saint Heir’s Heavenly Dharma Phase was so towering; who knew how long he had tempered it, while Ye Qiu’s had only just formed. There was no way there wouldn’t be a gap.

However, this gap could be piled over through cultivation, and Ye Qiu did not feel disheartened.

His battle with the Taiyi Saint Heir had not produced a victor, interrupted by the sudden appearance of the powerful Abyssal Demons. Ye Qiu also understood that the Taiyi Saint Heir definitely had more than just that powerful Heavenly Dharma Phase as an attack—he must have hidden methods he hadn’t used.

And the same was true for Ye Qiu.

The two of them would definitely fight again in the future to decide a winner. That suited Ye Qiu just fine; he wanted to strengthen his Heavenly Dharma Phase anyway. That way, at least in terms of Heavenly Dharma Phase, they wouldn’t differ too much.

As his thoughts turned, Ye Qiu recalled the Emperor-level Abyssal Demon that had been killed by Pu Zhen.

"Was it really our battle that provoked him?" Ye Qiu murmured. At the same time, he thought of the depths of the cosmic abyss beneath that other sheer cliff—the pair of terrifying eyes. Looking at it now, the existence behind those eyes was even more frightening than an Emperor-level Abyssal Demon.
