Chapter 1728 - 1724: A Step That Makes the Stars Tremble (First Update)
Chapter 1728: Chapter 1724: A Step That Makes the Stars Tremble (First Update)
The Abyss is known as the First Realm of The Multiverse precisely because it stands as its own system.
Upon leaving this ancient arena, one finds a vast Starry Sky before them.
Most of the stars here have already died, and the remaining ones have reached their twilight years, emitting ominous dark red light.
Stars are quickly passed over; with Xue An and this old man’s speed, a journey of billions of miles takes only a blink.
Thus, after more than just an hour, a desolate, gray-white luminous planet appeared before them.
This planet is much smaller than Earth, and its surroundings are concealed by thick clouds, impossible to penetrate even with Xue An’s Divine Sense.
"Old Kang, is this the territory of your Demon Clan?" Xue An said calmly.
The true demons have names unfathomable to humans, only their true names.
To the average person, their true names are a string of cryptic syllables, akin to a supernatural incantation.
Hence, Xue An simply gave this old man a name and called him Kang Shuai Fu.
The old man certainly didn’t understand the meaning of the name, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
He stared at the planet with excitement and nodded, "That’s right, this is the final territory of our Demon Clan!"
"Since it is, let’s go!"
Xue An transformed into a stream of light, leading the charge towards the star.
Kang Shuai Fu followed closely behind.
Among the thick clouds, thunder rumbled, and brilliant lightning flashed everywhere.
These bolts of lightning differed from ordinary HeavenlyThunder, each emitting an almost pure white light, their terrifying power making one’s scalp tingle.
This is a destructive ray filled with the breath of annihilation.
Even the strongest hardly bear to resist; encountering even a little would spell one’s doom.
But when Xue An plunged into the cloud leading the way, these rays behaved like subjects before a king, retreating obediently and creating a straight path.
Xue An held An Yan’s hand, passing through unimpeded.
Kang Shuai Fu followed behind with a vacant expression.
Throughout the journey, Xue An had shocked him too many times, enough to make him indifferent.
Soon.
Their party pierced through the clouds and entered within the planet.
Contrary to the expected sprays of lava rains and fiery landscapes, underfoot lay a lush continent, filled with Spiritual Energy, resembling a paradise.
An Yan widened her eyes upon seeing this.
Sensing her puzzlement, Xue An smiled faintly, "Do you think these demons truly relish living in bad environments? If possible, who wouldn’t prefer living better!"
An Yan nodded, half-understanding.
And before she could speak, several lights suddenly appeared around, followed by shouts.
"Who dares intrude on our Demon Clan’s Territory?"
As the voice sounded, several men clad in armor with overwhelming aura appeared in the light.
Before Xue An could speak, Kang Shuai Fu burst into laughter.
"Children, your ancestor has returned!"
With his figure swaying, Kang Shuai Fu transformed from an ordinary old man to a horrifying monster.
Looking at first glance, he resembled a centipede.
An Yan turned pale with fright, quickly hiding behind Xue An.
No matter how strong, girls are always girls, filled with fear for such strange insects.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Kang Shuai Fu’s words, these men appeared slightly bewildered then murmured in confusion.
"Ancestor? What ancestor?"
"Right, which ancestor are you supposed to be? Spouting nonsense like this, clearly no good person—take him away for questioning!"
Upon hearing the shouts, Kang Shuai Fu, thinking they would kneel to greet him, was dumbfounded.
"You... do you not recognize me?"
"Bah, who cares who you are! Take him away!"
The men swarmed him, intending to capture Kang Shuai Fu.
Due to being confined for hundreds of years, Kang Shuai Fu’s strength hadn’t recovered, making it hard to subdue them.
This was awkward indeed.
On the journey here, Kang Shuai Fu had patted his chest and assured Xue An that everything would be fine once he appeared.
Yet unexpectedly, things turned out like this.
Embarrassed and angry, Kang Shuai Fu shouted, "You damned kids dare ignore my presence!"
While speaking, his massive body charged about, attempting to repel those blocking him.
Yet strength faltered, and the encircle grew tighter.
Moments later, Kang Shuai Fu was forced into a corner, struggling to shield himself.
Helpless, he shouted to Xue An, "Are you just going to watch?!"
Xue An chuckled, "How should I watch, then?"
"Come help!" Kang Shuai Fu cried urgently.
"Help? You expect aid from a Human Clan member? Old fellow, are you here to amuse us?" mocked a man.
Xue An raised his brow, "Old Kang, your clansmen aren’t as smart as you claim."
"Brat, you dare taunt us? I’ll show you pain!" A man left the fray, charging at Xue An.
Without a glance, Xue An flicked his finger.
Boom!
The man was blown away, exploding into crumbs midair.
Seeing this, those assaulting Kang Shuai Fu were aghast.
Xue An had lost patience.
The longer he stayed in the Abyss, the more changes occurred on Earth.
Thus he gazed down from above, took a deep breath, and stepped down.
Boom!
Under the massive force of his step, space shattered and cascaded downward like dominoes.
After a resounding thud, the star visibly tremored, and the ground bore a colossal footprint.
Such defying might stunned these guards.
Simultaneously.
Excited, angry shouting echoed from the continent’s center.
"Who’s there?"
"Who dares cause trouble in our Demon Clan’s Territory?"
With the voice, figures soared up, shadowing the sky in an instant.
At the forefront stood three men, each with distinct expressions.
The three varied in age, the oldest having white hair.
The youngest was just a youth.
Yet regardless of age, all three were cloaked in an elusive dark aura, evidently powerful.
"Human Clan strongman, why do you destroy our territory?" the eldest man coldly asked.
Xue An smiled slightly, "Nothing, just notifying you to come over."
"Notify us?"
Xue An remained silent, slightly sidestepped, as Kang Shuai Fu, who had reverted to human form, walked forward complexly.
"Disciple, do you recognize your master?"
