This guy Chen Qing... Where did he get so many space fragments from?

Upon seeing the space fragments mixed in the element turbulence like sand, Shenyue’s face darkened extremely, and she felt a sense of being schemed against like never before.

In this world, space is not easily captured; if you capture a piece using rune art, the original place would become chaotic due to incompleteness.

A few places might handle it, but if it were on a larger scale, it would only cause elemental instability in the area, and even natural disasters might occur.

Jiangnan is vast, yet if so many space fragments were captured at once, natural disasters and chaos would surely be everywhere. It couldn’t have escaped her notice.

But no matter how the opponent managed it, such an abundance of space fragments stumped her!

Her Present Vision was a Supreme-level Divine Skill, able to analyze all methods; any move or phenomenon before her could quickly reveal its cause and effect, but the downside was its limited range.

In that turbulence, if there were just a few space fragments, she naturally could discern everything inside with her eye technique, but with so many, it wasn’t that she couldn’t see, rather, the cost was too much for her to bear now.

The more powerful a divine skill, the greater the energy consumption; if it could be used indefinitely, she would have long dominated the world by herself.

Damn it!

Shenyue suddenly stopped, her brows tightly furrowed, Chen Qing this guy really prepared a lot – so many space fragments, probably unnecessary, but he still prepared in advance, meticulously, a style that was truly annoying!

Shenyue took a deep breath; now was not the time to exhaust her energy looking for Chen Qing.

With that thought, she turned her head in another direction.

That direction was where Tian Heng Western Sea Army was located, the mysterious person was holding Tian Heng, stabilizing the sizeable Western Sea Army, the intention unclear.

Since she couldn’t find Chen Qing, it wouldn’t hurt to check out his specifics.

But as soon as she looked, she quickly withdrew her sight, her face marked with shock and confusion.

Otherworldly Demon Statue?

Why would it be an Otherworldly Demon Figure?

The Otherworldly Demon Figure’s force is one that the Four Major Guilds have yet to interfere with, belonging to the category of void Evil Gods.

Each arrival of an Otherworldly Demon Figure varied, being the most uncontrollable force; nearly every time it brought a catastrophic apocalypse, it seemed that their existence was solely for wreaking havoc here, to destroy this place.

Yet, the divine skills and treasures brought by them were also immensely powerful, marking them as both dangerous and valuable. Each time by the third version, when the spiritual energy was abundant, these Otherworldly Demon Figures would likely descend.

The Four Major Guilds often united to combat these monsters, analyzing what could be analyzed, and if not, they would seal them.

Therefore, in some forbidden places on this continent, the Otherworldly Demon Statues would be sealed, awakening as the spiritual energy revived, causing havoc in the world, like a ticking time bomb.

Normally, their guilds had precautions for such situations.

Any Demon Statue on the continent was recorded by them, which were sealed, which might break the seal, their abilities, their conditions, all recorded clearly, having spent a lot of manpower.

Initially, it was with the power of several Otherworldly Demon Statues that the King of Qin had sealed the ancients.

After the misfortune of the King of Qin, they became stricter in managing these Demon Statues.

She had investigated the information before coming; all the Demon Statues were in place, so how could a new one appear here?

Was it a sudden arrival?

Impossible!

Shenyue immediately denied the speculation...

These Demon Statues had all been attracted by the Spiritual Energy, and the empty spaces closer to the continent had already been sealed long ago.

Any that could be attracted were from extremely remote locations.

Without the level of Spiritual Energy from the third version, it couldn’t possibly attract the Demon Statues!

But despite the various incongruities, Shenyue was certain her eyes were not deceiving her. It was indeed an Otherworldly Demon Statue.

She dared not look because the origins of the Otherworldly Demon Statues were generally very complicated and random.

Some had simple origins, while others were extremely complex, even carrying terrifying secrets and consequences.

With her current abilities, she naturally didn’t dare to probe with her arts, fearing that before she could discern their origins, her own Spiritual Power would be exhausted by her eyes.

She didn’t dare to probe with her arts, but she felt it was utterly absurd.

A Demon Statue from outer space had, without any warning, intervened in this chaotic battlefield. It had seemingly planned to control Tian Heng and the Western Sea Army long ago. Could it be that this Demon Statue had awoken long ago and had been observing the situation?

This wasn’t right.

These Evil Gods always acted according to their own logic. Once awakened, they would cause tremendous disturbances. She had never encountered a Demon Statue adept at hiding. Otherwise, with their terrifying abilities, they would have destroyed this world countless times over.

What exactly was the situation?

-------------------------

"High Priest, that is..."

In the distance, several members of the Four Holy Guard clad in armor radiated a formidable aura, utterly distinct from the ordinary Four Saints. Their aura was almost on par with experts like Tian Heng and were naturally the top fighters hatched long ago by the Ancient Demon Clan.

The moment Chen Qing blasted the High Priest away, these individuals emerged and shielded the severely wounded High Priest.

As the High Priest regulated his breathing, he stared intently ahead... his eyes also filled with confusion.

That presence, as an Ancient Demon hiding a cycle of reincarnation, was naturally recognizable. After all, when such creatures rampaged through the world, even the Ancient Demons would try every means to destroy them, as these were the only beings the Ancient Demons dared not parasitize lightly.

As it was unclear whether you were parasitizing it or it was parasitizing you, historical records once noted that an Ancient Demon who had parasitized a Demon Statue preached in the Ancient Demon Clan, instantly causing a majority of Ancient Demons to become mentally fanatical and chaotic, nearly destroying this world along with it—a true monster.

It was after that incident that the Ancient Demon Clan strictly forbade parasitizing the Otherworldly Demon Figures.

How could such a thing suddenly appear here?

"It’s a Demon Statue..."

"Can you identify which one it is?"

A deep voice emerged, that of Zhang Xiaoyun. He, too, sensed the difficulty.

The setups by powers on all sides had almost entirely failed.

Jiangnan, Northern Territory, each had dispatched heavy troops to strike.

There were no news from the Ghost Soldiers in the Imperial City, but seeing the Emperor calm and composed, it was highly likely he had arrangements too, making them almost unavoidable.

Chen Qing’s power was beyond expectation, having critically injured the High Priest. Now, with the inexplicably interfering Otherworldly Demon Statue, its power was bizarrely immense.

Just a slight mishap and even the Four Saints Array could be destroyed.

Once this place was demolished, all the plots cunningly devised by countless members of the Ancient Demon Clan would be in vain!

"I don’t know..." The High Priest stared intently ahead. Every Demon Statue in this world was marked, especially after that unintended incident with the King of Qin. The Reincarnators had made the surveillance over the Land of Seals where the Demon Statues were even more strict; there shouldn’t be any disclosures.

And yet, this Demon Statue before him felt eerily familiar, as if... he had seen it somewhere!
