Chapter 744 Lower Realm Epilogue
Chapter 744 Lower Realm Epilogue
A month had passed since Xia Tian and the others left the Seven Star World, and the Holy Central Continent was very busy with inter-continental competition. Many cultivators from the younger generation from all over the planet participated in the competition. Many of them were very excited about it, but many of them felt helpless about it, especially since many of the cultivators were much stronger and more talented than them.
However, there was one participant who seemed unenthusiastic about taking part in the competition, especially since her target opponent did not participate, and that person was none other than Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan felt disappointed after she got the news that Xia Tian had taken his wives and families away from their planet, especially since she wanted to avenge her loss to him in the inter-sect competition in the past, but she found out about it too late.
Dugu Zhong sighed softly at his granddaughter's expression, and he then embraced her shoulders. "I know you want to compete in alchemy with Xia Tian again, but he's not on this planet now, so you have to learn to accept your previous defeat. Moreover, we all now know that the universe is very vast, and there are many realms out there, so you just need to cultivate harder to reach the peak of mortal cultivation. That way, you can ascend to higher realms, and you might be able to meet him again in the future."
"I know, Grandpa." Dugu Yan replied with a nod before her face became serious. "I will cultivate harder to catch up with Xia Tian to higher realms, and I will also continue to improve my alchemy abilities, so I can avenge my defeat from him in the future."
Since all the participants had arrived at the competition venue, the people from the Holy Central Continent immediately started the competition, and the competition was truly very lively.
On the other hand, people from all sects were also constantly monitoring the participants, especially since many new talents emerged during the competition, and they naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to recruit the best talents into their sects.
Time continued to pass very quickly, and the competition became more and more intense, but the entire population of the Seven Star Realm suddenly felt tremendous pressure coming from the sky.
Everyone on the planet stopped their activities due to the effects of that powerful pressure, and so many of them fell unconscious because they couldn't withstand it with their low cultivation.
Even the strong cultivators of the Holy Central Continent also had difficulty withstanding the effects of that pressure, and it actually pressured them even stronger as the owner of the pressure continued to draw closer to their location.
After a while, two men had arrived above the sky of the Holy Central Continent, and they looked with disdain and condescension at the people below them who were slumped helplessly on the floor like ants.
"Are you sure that person is in this place, Yuwen?"
"Yes, Lord Qian Du." Xie Yuwen replied with a nod. "Even though my avatar only came down to this planet once, I'm familiar with the aura of this place, so I couldn't be wrong."
"Hmm?" Qian Du raised his eyebrows as he scanned the entire planet with his senses. "You are right; those people were indeed on this planet before. However, we seemed to have arrived too late, especially since I could only feel the residue of Jian Wuqing and Ye Nantian's aura, so they must have left this planet by now."
"Could it be that Jian Wuqing took them away with her?"
"Yes, Jian Wuqing must have realized that we were coming to this planet, so she took the golden dragon and the others away." Qian Du was silent for a while before speaking again. "However, I'm still curious about her purpose in coming to this planet, as she doesn't usually care about other cultivators, let alone weaklings like them. Besides, I can also sense the residual aura of some other immortals, but I can't recognize one of them."
"Other immortals?"
Qian Du nodded and explained it to him. "Yes, Han Shuo the Immortal Blacksmith was also on this planet before, but I felt strange about the other one's aura. I felt familiar with that strange aura, but I couldn't remember it either."
"Han Shuo?" Xie Yuwen was surprised to hear that. "Lord, I have a strange suspicion about the presence of those two on this planet, and also about the owner of that strange aura."
"What's your strange suspicion?"
"I think there is only someone who has such a strange aura."
"Who is the owner?"
"Ren Yao." Qian Du raised his eyebrows for a moment before nodding in agreement, and Xie Yuwen spoke to him again. "Anyway, those three people are someone's close friends, and-"
"Long Tian." Xie Yuwen nodded at him, but Qian Du didn't seem to believe it. "Even though the three of them were very close to him, all of us knew that his soul had vanished after he broke the taboo by using that forbidden formation, so it was impossible for him to be reincarnated again."
"Well, that's true." Xie Yuwen nodded in agreement. "Back then, he was the strongest in this universe, and not a single cultivator dared to go against him. However, he was truly pathetic, and he sacrificed everything for the sake of a dead mortal woman."
"Heh! His death brought blessings to all of us, or we wouldn't be able to rule the Five Holy Lands now."
Xie Yuwen then asked him. "So what should we do? Are we going to interrogate these people to find their destination?"
"No need." Qian Du refused by shaking his head. "These people are just trash, and they couldn't possibly know about Jian Wuqing's purpose in taking them away."
"Are we going to destroy this useless planet?"
Qian Du didn't say anything and pointed his palm to the sky, and a gigantic dark green energy ball immediately appeared in his hand, causing the people below them to feel frightened, especially since they were completely unused to moving under the pressure of these two.
However, when Qian Du was about to throw it, Tian Longma and Shi Weishou appeared in front of them, causing him to frown.
"You better stop that, Qian Du." Tian Longma said, as his hands already held his weapons. "These people have nothing to do with you, so you don't need to kill them."
Shi Weishou pointed his fox claw at him. "If you insist on destroying this planet, then we have to stop you. Even though you are immortal, you won't be able to fight us at the same time."
"Hmm?" Qian Du narrowed his eyes at them. "I didn't expect that the Oracle would send his two personal guards to this planet, and the presence of the two of you here makes me even more convinced that there is something unusual on this planet before, which is related to the appearance of the golden dragon."
Tian Longma and Shi Weishou were not surprised to hear that, as they already knew about Xi Yuwen's men previously controlling Sheng Jiang, so it was natural that Qian Du knew about the golden dragon. However, they felt relieved because he didn't know that the golden dragon was Xia Tian, so he and the others could leave safely.
"Lord Qian Du, I will face that horse, and you can face that fox."
Qian Du gave a faint grin, and he immediately threw the gigantic energy ball towards the people below them directly.
"Shit!"
Tian Longma and Shi Weishou cursed after they saw that, and they moved towards it, but Qian Du intercepted and attacked them, so they immediately repelled his attack. "I won't let you guys bother me."
The faces of the people below had turned deathly pale as they looked at the gigantic energy ball, and they were extremely afraid of dying.
Xie Yuwen also immediately moved to help Qian Du fight the two people, and their battle in the air was quite fierce, but Tian Longma and Shi Weishou continued to find a way to stop the energy ball.
However, they stopped fighting as soon as they felt the powerful aura emerging from all corners of the planet, and dozens of sword qi emerged from the ground, splitting and destroying the gigantic energy ball.
Fuck!" Qian Du cursed when he saw that, but he was even more shocked when those swords Qi shot towards him and Xie Yuwen, and the two of them naturally knew that they belonged to Jian Wuqing, so they immediately flew away to avoid everything.
However, those sword qi continued to chase after Qian Du and Xie Yuwen, causing their pressure on those people to immediately disappear, and they immediately scattered and ran away in a hurry.
On the other hand, Tian Longma and Shi Weishou were stunned to see that, as Xia Tian did not tell them that Jian Wuqing had left protection for the people on that planet.
"Phew, we don't actually need to stay here to protect them, and Jian Wuqing's sword formation is enough to stop them."
"Yeah, you're right." Tian Longma nodded in agreement with Shi Weishou as they continued to watch the two people try hard to dodge those sword qi attacks.
However, they suddenly saw something unexpected as Qian Du pulled Xie Yuwen in front of him, and he used his body as a shield.
Even so, those sword qi remained unstoppable, and some of them also penetrated Qian Du's body, causing their blood to flow wildly from their bodies. Instantly, those sword qi disappeared after their attacks hit their targets.
"Cough... cough... why are you doing this to me, Lord?"
"Ptui." Qian Du spat out the blood in his mouth and swallowed a pill to stop the bleeding in his body, and he indifferently answered Xie Yuwen's question. "You are my subordinates, so you should sacrifice for me."
'Tch!' Xie Yuwen gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to refute his words, and he also immediately swallowed a pill, especially since his injuries were too severe because Jian Wuqing's sword qi was too strong.
Qian Du then looked at Tian Longma and Shi Weishou with a furious look, but he didn't say anything to them, and he immediately took Xie Yuwen to leave the planet.
Tian Longma and Shi Weishou looked at the people running below with a sigh of relief, and they also immediately left the Seven Star World to catch up with Xia Tian and the others.
Shortly after they left, a woman appeared at their previous location, but her expression looked unhappy. However, she let out a soft sigh before waving her hand, causing a sizable crack to appear in the sky, and she went straight into it.

The woman soon arrived at the top of an ancient grand palace, and she landed in the garden of the palace before approaching a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman who were chatting there.
The middle-aged woman turned to her and asked. "Why did you suddenly return here, Fate? Did everything go according to your plan?"
"Tch!" Fate gritted his teeth after hearing that. "Are you satisfied that my plans failed miserably? Everything happened because of your pathetic son and his old friends!"
"Haha." The middle-aged woman laughed when she heard that. "Back then, you took our son away from us, and you also isolated our realm from the outside world, so he could never find us, even though he had become very strong. However, you were unaware of the mysteriousness of our son's birth, and he is no longer under your control now."
"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Fate asked with a frown.
"I won't say anything to you, and you will find out in the future." The middle-aged woman answered by shaking her head. "You may have the ability to control the destiny of humans, but you underestimate them too much, and you forget that they have an unyielding will."
"As for our son, he may have died in your hands once, but he is an anomaly, and he will defy you once again." The middle-aged man finally spoke. "However, the current him is different from the old him, and you won't be able to kill him a second time, so you'd better be prepared to accept his wrath."
"Humph!" Fate snorted after she heard all that. "Do you think I will just leave him like that? I am Fate, and I control their destiny. Even though he is out of my control now, I still have many ways to make him submit to me, including killing his children."
After she said that, Fate disappeared from their sight, and the middle-aged woman asked her husband. "Do you think our son will be able to win against her?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man answered with a nod. "Our son will definitely succeed in destroying fate, so we just need to wait for him to become stronger compared to the old him, and he will free us from this place."
"En." The middle-aged woman nodded at him. "I've been waiting for our son for tens of thousands of years, so I really can't wait to meet him."
