Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1891 - 1133: My Name Is Flower Qing Pearl

The wild and splendid battle erupted in the Void; the battle between two powerful cultivators, half-step into Tao, could only be described as violent.

The immense energy fluctuations churned the smoke-laden Void into turbulent clouds, though there were naturally no clouds in the Void, yet the mana released by the two formed clouds.

The abundant and dense mana, despite the Void possessing the power to obliterate spiritual energy, failed to annihilate those vast patches of mana within a short time.

The yin energy was as vast as the sea, while the pure energy was like smoking waves; their constant collision caused the entire Void to tremble.

If their battle had not been far enough from the real world, the aftermath of their combat would have been enough to tear the spatial barrier of the real world, forming numerous Void Rifts.

Unlike ordinary Golden Core cultivators, the battles between ordinary Golden Core cultivators would constantly shuttle between the Void and the real world.

But for those powerful cultivators, half-step into Tao, such shuttling held no significance, for they could launch attacks simultaneously in both the Void and the real world.

Spatial barriers could no longer obstruct them, thus nullifying the significance of shuttling.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor wielded the spiritual treasure Flower Qing Pearl and the authority artifact Green Vein Seal, while Chang Buzai held the spiritual treasure Soul Hooking Heavenly Seal and various top-grade spiritual artifacts.

In terms of spiritual artifacts and treasures, both were ancient monsters who have lived for ten thousand years, boasting immeasurable deep foundations, lacking neither spiritual artifacts nor treasures.

In terms of cultivation, both were likewise half-step into Tao, having also cultivated for ten thousand years.

Purely judging by combat strength, their power was nearly the same.

Hence their battle became a long-drawn-out war of attrition.

This battle dragged on for a month, nearly reaching deep into the Void.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor was ultimately slightly inferior; when the Soul Hooking Heavenly Seal covered his head, he could only use the Green Vein Seal to fend it off, resulting in the destruction of the Green Vein Seal.

An artifact of authority was thus rendered worthless, but that was hardly lamentable, for it was contending against a genuine spiritual treasure.

"I told you, you die, I live! Huaqing Tree, you should understand the difference between us!" Chang Buzai cast the Soul-locking Chain, his voice echoing in the chaotic Void like howling wind.

"Trying to kill me, huh, not that easy!" The Wanhua Demon Emperor snorted coldly, waving his sleeve to sweep away the Soul-locking Chain.

Yet he knew in his heart that he was not a match for Chang Buzai.

Though they now seemed evenly matched, he had lost the Green Vein Seal, an artifact of authority, and his mana was greatly depleted, leaving him with little to continue.

After exchanging a dozen more moves with Chang Buzai, Wanhua Demon Emperor realized he couldn’t drag things on with Chang Buzai any longer.

If he continued stalling, he would only be worn out by Chang Buzai; now, his only option was escape.

With mountains intact, there’s no fear of running out of firewood!

Wanhua Demon Emperor gritted his teeth, and the Flower Qing Pearl before him suddenly burst with brilliant blue light, from which a giant treeman emerged, raising its massive fist to smash towards Chang Buzai.

"A trivial trick!"

Chang Buzai replied disdainfully.

Suddenly, a black phantom appeared before him, towering a hundred feet tall, its whole being profound black, resembling both a human and an ape, blocking the giant treeman in front.

Chang Buzai flickered and bypassed the two giant figures, intent on continuing his attack on Wanhua Demon Emperor.

But as he bypassed them, he found there were suddenly two Wanhua Demon Emperors in front.

One rushed towards the depths of the Void, while the other sped towards the Wanhua Domain.

The two were almost indistinguishable, not in appearance, but in aura and presence, making it difficult for Chang Buzai to discern which was real.

After a moment’s hesitation, Chang Buzai pursued the Wanhua Demon Emperor heading into the depths of the Void.

His thinking was simple: if Wanhua Demon Emperor fled to the Wanhua Domain, he would have a chance of finding him later, but if Wanhua Demon Emperor escaped into the depths of the Void, then finding him again would be challenging.

As for the treacherous depths of the Void, whether Wanhua Demon Emperor could return.

Chang Buzai did not doubt it; the depth of the Void also had its distance, with a center in the Wanhua Domain, any region considered deep inside the Void being ten thousand miles away.

To ordinary Golden Core cultivators, going beyond this distance meant they could no longer locate the realm of the Wanhua Domain, but to powerful cultivators half-step into Tao, twenty thousand miles, thirty thousand miles, even fifty thousand miles away, they could still track the aura of the Wanhua Domain back.

But the Void is over a million miles vast itself?

Hence, there is a difference in the depths of the Void.

The depths of the Void perceived by Golden Core cultivators may not necessarily be the forbidden zones of powerful cultivators half-step into Tao.

Wanhua Demon Emperor escaped, but he ultimately couldn’t evade capture.

Once Chang Buzai chose to pursue him into the depths of the Void, his fate was already sealed.

He miscalculated, thinking that if he distanced himself from the Wanhua Domain, Chang Buzai would give up on hassling him, but he overlooked the fact that Chang Buzai genuinely sought to kill him.

Days later, Wanhua Demon Emperor’s Divine Soul was hooked away by Chang Buzai in the depths of the Void, and at the instant his Divine Soul left his body, a beam of spiritual light suddenly flew out from an unnamed valley within the Wanhua Mountain Range toward the southeastern horizon.

This beam of spiritual light was the Flower Qing Pearl, the clone of Wanhua Demon Emperor that escaped back to the Wanhua Domain, also representing the Demon Ruins.

The spiritual light flew swiftly over layers of mountains until reaching above a familiar valley, suddenly plummeting.

...

Within Spring Valley.

A giant Pocket World Gate was embedded in the mountain wall, as Yang Zhenshan frequently traveled in and out of Spirit Source Land by flying boat, thus nearly expanding the Pocket World Gate to its maximum width.
