Divine Emperor Demon Emperor Chapter 608

[ … words ]

The moment he stepped through the Light Gate, Lin Yun felt as if he had entered a tunnel—one that connected two different spaces.

Inside the pitch-black tunnel, an unknown amount of time passed before Lin Yun felt a piercing light against his eyelids. He slowly opened his eyes and surveyed the unfamiliar environment around him.

Everything around him was completely foreign. He appeared to be in a forest, but he had never seen any of the surrounding trees before.

The trunks were pure black, thick, and towering. Lin Yun had never seen such trees before, not in the Divine Realm nor on the Celestial Spirit Continent.

Aside from the unprecedented trees, Lin Yun checked his own condition and found that nothing had changed. His cultivation was intact, the strength of his physical body was the same—everything was exactly as it had been before.

Moreover, Lin Yun and the others had not been separated. A short while later, everyone had gathered together.

They had entered a completely unknown space, but before anyone could even speak, Wei Yunhang erupted with a terrifying killing intent, which was naturally directed at Lin Yun.

“Wei Yunhang, if you want a fight, then let’s fight.” Facing Wei Yunhang’s explosive killing intent, Lin Yun was fearless. At the same time, Little Ape and the Black-striped Tiger also unleashed their own terrifying auras.

Although the auras of Little Ape and the Black-striped Tiger were not as powerful as Lin Yun’s, they were by no means to be underestimated. Faced with all three of them at once, Wei Yunhang hesitated for a moment.

If he were to fight Lin Yun alone, Wei Yunhang would not be afraid. But with Little Ape and the Black-striped Tiger added to the mix, he knew he had no chance of winning.

Just then, Song Tianyang and Lin Jianhong walked over to Wei Yunhang’s side. Looking at Lin Yun, Song Tianyang sneered, “Lin Yun, trying to use your numbers to overwhelm us? Isn’t that a bit childish?”

Putting aside the fact that Song Tianyang and Lin Jianhong were both members of the Qing Zhu Association, their personal vendettas against Lin Yun meant they would never pass up such a perfect opportunity to kill him.

The addition of Song Tianyang and Lin Jianhong instantly changed the situation. Although Little Ape could likely hold his own against one of them, that would still leave the other. As for the Black-striped Tiger, there was still a considerable gap between its strength and that of people like Song Tianyang.

But one shouldn’t forget that the Monk and Daoist had also entered this mysterious space, and Xi Zijin had been standing by Lin Yun’s side all along, making her position clear.

Lin Yun’s side had more people, but the Monk, the Daoist, and the Black-striped Tiger were still a fair bit weaker than the Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain.

“Excellent. Today, we will slaughter you all, and the treasures within these ruins will be ours.” Unconcerned by the superior numbers on Lin Yun’s side, Wei Yunhang spoke in a cold voice.

Just as the two sides were about to come to blows, Qing Zhu, who had remained still all this time, suddenly spoke up faintly, “Now isn’t the time to fight, is it? Have none of you sensed people rushing this way?”

Hearing her words, everyone retracted their auras. They had been so focused on each other that if not for Qing Zhu’s reminder, they probably wouldn’t have noticed the many auras rapidly approaching their location.

“There’s other life in this space?” the Monk said, a little incredulous.

“It seems so,” Lin Yun replied calmly. ’I just don’t know if the owners of these auras are Demon Beasts or humans.’

They abandoned their plans to fight. After all, they were now in a mysterious space, and their primary goal was to survive. Under such circumstances, fighting to the death was clearly unwise.

Looking around warily, it wasn’t long before a large number of people surrounded Lin Yun and his group. To be more precise, it was two separate groups.

Judging from their attire, they clearly belonged to two different factions.

There were over a hundred people in total, with about fifty in each party. One group wore black clothes dotted with red spots that looked like bloodstains. The other was dressed in snow-white robes, looking quite refined and immaculate.

From each of the two groups, a leader stepped forward. Lin Yun could clearly sense that the cultivation of both individuals was at the Celestial Spirit Realm Perfection.

“Who are you?” the man in black asked as he approached them, his tone somewhat deep and low.

Hearing this, Lin Yun and the others did not answer. In this mysterious space, they had no idea who these two groups were. Answering rashly might cause them to say the wrong thing.

Seeing that Lin Yun’s group remained silent, the man in black grew visibly impatient. Just as he was about to speak again, the man in white, not far from him, spoke up.

“Could they be the legendary Heavenly Descenders?”

Hearing this, Lin Yun and the others were puzzled. ’What are Heavenly Descenders?’ The man in black, however, had a drastic change in expression. Prompted by the man in white’s words, he suddenly recalled a legend that the elders of his tribe used to speak of.

“Tell me, are you the Heavenly Descenders?” the man in black demanded, looking at Lin Yun’s group with extreme excitement.

This was because a legend existed in this world, one that had been passed down from generation to generation.

It said that if they could obtain the help of the Heavenly Descenders, their tribe would be able to achieve victory.

Looking at the man in black, Lin Yun pondered. ’What are Heavenly Descenders? And who are these people? This is just a space created and sealed by a Great Power. Under normal circumstances, it should be impossible for life to be born here.’

“That’s right, we are the Heavenly Descenders.” However, just as Lin Yun was deep in thought, Qing Zhu suddenly spoke up with a light smile.

Hearing Qing Zhu’s words, both the man in black and the man in white finally noticed her. At a single glance, both men were completely captivated by her beauty. The woman was simply too stunning; in all their long lives, neither had ever seen a woman so beautiful.

Although both men’s expressions could be described as lustful, the man in black quickly averted his gaze. Right now, he was more concerned with the legend of the Heavenly Descenders.

The man in white, on the other hand, kept glancing at Qing Zhu, a deeply hidden lust in his eyes.

“Everyone, regardless of your identity, why don’t you first come to our Divine Palace to rest? We can discuss things further from there,” the man in white said to Lin Yun’s group with a smile.

However, upon hearing this, the man in black objected. “No! If they are the Heavenly Descenders, they must come to our Demon Palace. Otherwise, I would rather kill them.”

The man in black and the man in white were at a standoff. Hearing them mention the Divine Palace and the Demon Palace, Lin Yun’s confusion only deepened. ’What is this place? Why would the divine and demonic coexist?’

’Even though their two factions seem to be as incompatible as fire and water, they genuinely coexist in the same world. What does that mean?’
