The battle concluded, and the clone returned with two corpses.
This fight had originally seen seven Demon Emperors slain. If their origins were intact, about seven wisps of Chaos Origin would have been refined.
However, he hadn't quite held back, and four of them were directly blown apart, their origins shattered.
Fortunately, two intact origins remained, along with the demon leader he had killed earlier. This trip, therefore, yielded some rewards.
Moreover, the origins of the other four Demon Emperors would not vanish.
One day, they would re-condense in the Xuantian Realm.
Whoever was lucky enough to obtain a wisp could then use it to break through to the Emperor Lord realm.
After collecting the two corpses, Xu Chuan’s clone returned to the inner world.
Then, he turned his gaze towards the inter-realm passage.
The terrifying battle just now had caused no damage to the passage.
It still stood there, as if it were eternal and unchanging.
Xu Chuan, however, had furrowed his brow and been distracted during the fight because, for a moment, he had noticed the energy sacrificed by the demons flowing into the inter-realm passage.
And it was happening quickly, silently.
If Xu Chuan hadn't been watching it constantly, he might not have discovered it.
However, only one entity could cause this phenomenon: that Great Demon!
He was definitely here, or rather, he was hidden within the inter-realm passage!
Only there could he evade the scrutiny of the Heavenly Dao and safely heal his injuries and recover his cultivation.
Anywhere else, as long as it was within the Xuantian Realm, given the destruction he had wrought upon the Central Region, the Heavenly Dao would not allow him to recover.
It would have caused him all sorts of trouble.
After discovering this, Xu Chuan had been guarding against a sudden attack from the other party.
Thus, a significant portion of his attention had been focused there.
This inadvertently gave the seven Demon Emperors the illusion that he was a paper tiger.
However, Xu Chuan was also somewhat surprised; the other party was truly patient.
Even with all the demons dead, even with all seven of his Demon Emperor subordinates dead at his hands,
He remained calm, recovering his injuries and cultivation.
"Something is wrong, incredibly wrong!" Xu Chuan muttered to himself, contemplating.
Even the third and fourth-tier experts in the Demon Realm would not bear to see their subordinates, the Demon Emperors, die.
And seven of them at once.
If the other party intended to control the Xuantian Realm, Emperor Lord realm subordinates would be indispensable. Otherwise, how long would it take him alone?
The more Xu Chuan thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.
It seemed that to uncover the secret behind this, he would have to personally enter the inter-realm passage.
Only by clearly understanding the other party's background could he plan his next moves.
However.
Just as Xu Chuan was contemplating.
A cold and hoarse voice sounded in his ear.
"To dare kill my subordinates in front of me, you are seeking death!"
Following the direction of the voice, a "person" wearing Long An's body emerged from the inter-realm passage.
He was clad in black robes. Although he had Long An's face, it was filled with a sinister expression.
Furthermore, the aura emanating from him was exceptionally powerful.
Merely standing there seemed to cause the void to collapse.
Xu Chuan looked at the other party with a grave expression.
Very strong!
Infinitely strong!
It had almost reached the limit that the current Xuantian Realm could accommodate.
Every movement was filled with oppressive might.
Even Xu Chuan felt a sense of threat.
Indeed, a Great Demon that could cause the Heavenly Dao to cry for help could never be someone easy to deal with.
"With such strength, you must be that human brat Long An most wants to kill, right?"
"To be able to cultivate to such a level in such a short time, I must say, your talent is terrifying."
"You can be considered top-tier within this chaos."
"If you continue on this path, you will undoubtedly become a top-tier powerhouse in this chaos."
"Unfortunately, you have met me today!"
"Your good fortune ends here!"
Tian Yun said to Xu Chuan with a sinister, dismissive expression.
The reason he hadn't acted earlier was partly because he had been too reckless in the Central Region and had drawn the attention of the Heavenly Dao. He dared not set foot in the Xuantian Realm again until his cultivation had recovered to a certain extent.
Secondly, he was in a critical period of recovery and was only one step away from reaching the current limit of this world. He could not move rashly, or it might lead to failure.
Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as Xu Chuan, with lightning speed, killed all his subordinates.
Now that his cultivation had recovered to a certain degree, he naturally had to seek revenge.
Furthermore, he coveted everything Xu Chuan possessed.
If he could devour Xu Chuan, it would bring him significant benefits!
He had long deduced that the Xu Chuan before him was the chosen protagonist of this world's Heavenly Dao.
If he could devour Xu Chuan, perhaps he could break through the limit and reach the fourth stage.
Moreover, his own talent would be significantly improved.
He could also use this to conceal himself, deceive the Heavenly Dao, and thus fulfill his great wish of conquering the entire Xuantian Realm!
By then, he would definitely return to his peak, and might even break through to the higher Emperor Lord realm!
That would mean half of his mission would be accomplished!
Thinking this, his gaze towards Xu Chuan became even more eager.
He even unconsciously licked his lips.
"It's not yet certain who will live and who will die!"
"Let's settle this with our hands!"
Although Xu Chuan was wary of the other party, he was not afraid of him.
Besides, Xu Chuan was confident enough in his own strength.
The peak of this realm, so what?
It was not impossible to fight!
However, before that, Xu Chuan used the system to scan, and the other party's information was instantly revealed.
