Hearing all of that, Hong Bai and the others immediately spoke up with absolute excitement."Come on, what are we waiting for? Let's get back to the pavilion territory... claim the rewards, and then live it up! Hahaha!""Exactly! The bounty for his capture is no small matter. Even some of the great clans and major sects might not necessarily be able to capture him... Yet now, he is right in the palm of our hands...""You absolute bastards?! Capturing me... do you really think—" The clone spoke under Yao Chen’s command.Wuuuuuuush!However, the real Yao Chen lunged forward and casually slapped his own created clone.PlaaaaK!"You've already been captured, so shut your damn mouth!"The Silver Dragon entourage began transporting the unresisting body toward the central district of the Demon Slayer Pavilion. A tumultuous welcome awaited them. After all, it hadn't even been a week since they set out on their mission, yet they had already found the Demon of the Eastern Continent. They had ev

"It's impossible... How could the three sovereigns sacrifice all of us?" "You haven't seen it with your own eyes, but I have..."The two parted ways. Still in disbelief, Hong Bai immediately left the meeting hall. Yao Chen, however, certainly did not.He closed his eyes—not to sleep, but to connect with the consciousness of his clone inside the cauldron.What Yao Chen saw: A fetus, shaping into a young man, enveloped in a dense demonic aura. The energy of the Fighter King realm was clear in his sight."This demon is indeed highly dangerous... But he can serve as a stepping stone for me..."Days turned into weeks. His daily routine consisted of nothing but idling around the hall, which drew a look of curiosity from Hong Bai. After all, Yao Chen was the only one slacking off."Why aren't you joining the missions?"Regaining control of his body's consciousness, Yao Chen stared at Hong Bai, who stood before him."I'm bored... Do you think there’s anything interesting in this place?""The

"Q-Qing Shuan broke through?! Qing Shuan broke through?!"The crowd erupted into wild chatter over Qing Shuan's sudden surge in cultivation. His energy continuously surged and exploded, and with just a few steps forward, waves of power pressed down heavily, attempting to crush Yao Chen."Oh no?! Chen is finished!" "H-how can Chen possibly survive against Qing Shuan now?!" "Even though Chen's cultivation faintly feels like a two-star Soul Integration realm... he clearly seems to be using a specific technique! There must be a heavy price he has to pay!"The spectators continued their clamor. Meanwhile, above the arena, in the seats where several elders usually watched the matches, a white-bearded man nodded his head several times."I want to see just how this young man intends to respond!""Chen, do you know the reason I became the vice-leader of the Phoenix Wing faction?"Yao Chen showed not a single trace of fear. A wide smile spread across his face as he replied, "A high position can

Every exchange of strikes showed no sign of either yielding, displaying two entirely different techniques of hand-to-hand combat.Explosions of fluctuating energy continued to detonate between them until, amidst the chaotic exchange, Yao Chen’s brow furrowed. He sensed a slight shift in the cultivation energy within Chen Bao's body."One step away from the Spirit Warrior realm? How interesting..."Swoooosh! Swoooosh!The hand-to-hand clash raged on. Fast-paced movements surpassed five hundred rounds in the blink of an eye. With all their strength unleashed, Chen Bao and Yao Chen's fists collided head-on.KRAAAAACK! BOOOOOOOOM!A terrifying wave of energy erupted. The arena shook violently, as if unable to contain the explosive force of the two clashing fists.Both were thrown back ten steps."You really are impressive... To be able to match me this far...," Chen Bao’s cold voice echoed.He immediately formed a killer array using both hands.Wuuuuuuuuung!The arena trembled violently a

Both of them nodded.Until the next day, which was precisely the first day Yao Chen became Cong Kun's disciple. Yao Chen immediately made his way toward the peak of Cong Kun's palace.Wuuuuuuuush!"Young master, the palace of Sovereign Cong Kun is one of the most heavily protected places in the Giant Demon Clan... You may be his disciple, but we still require the token simply to uphold the rules..."Drawing out the token Cong Kun had given him, the two guards quickly nodded, took a brief moment to verify the token, and held onto it.Upon arriving at the palace courtyard, a voice resonated:"My disciple, enter..."When Yao Chen arrived, he did not bow deeply; he merely cupped his fists."Chen pays respects to Master..."Cong Kun nodded. He was slightly irked by the greeting, which felt as though he were being treated merely as an equal. However, he quickly took a deep breath to compose himself."On this first day, I will introduce you to all the guards stationed in this area... So that
