"What condition?"
Xiaoyao Hou's aura did not diminish.
This time, the two prefectures came with great force. If a war really broke out, Xiaoyao Manor was not confident of winning.
If they failed, it would mean that Xiaoyao Manor would completely fall apart. This was not something Xiaoyao Hou wanted to see.
That was why he asked.
"Your Carefree Manor has always controlled a passage to the Primal Chaos Battlefield. If you can give up two-thirds of it to our two manors, we'll stop here. We'll also swear in the name of the Devouring Demon Clan's chief that we'll never invade your Carefree Manor again," the Skymoon Manor Lord said with a smile.
"That's right. This is our only condition. If you agree, we will retreat and become the best allies of Xiaoyao Manor." The Bright Lord Prefecture Lord added.
Hearing this, Deputy Xiaoyao's face darkened.
He did not expect them to be thinking about the passage to the Chaos Battlefield.
"Master."
Patriarch Liu whispered into his ear. "After all these years of harvesting, the Chaos Battlefield is almost worthless. Rather than that, it would be better to give some to Tianyue Prefecture and Bright King Manor."
In the end.
The three parties reached an agreement.
Carefree Manor gave up two-thirds of the control of the passage to Sky Moon Manor and Bright King Manor.
The two prefectures also took out a huge amount of wealth and gave it to Xiaoyao Manor as an exchange.
After all.
To the two prefectures, as long as they could control the passage, it was better than anything else.
They did not really want to declare war. If they did, although they would destroy Xiaoyao Manor in the end, both of them would suffer great losses.
To Xiaoyao Manor, this was the only way out.
They could only use a huge amount of wealth to recoup some losses.
"Haha, happy cooperation." The Skymoon Prefecture Lord said.
"Xiaoyao Hou, prepare for the handover ceremony. We will send someone to control the passage soon." The Bright Lord Prefecture Lord could not wait to send someone to the Chaos Battlefield.
Besides that.
Undercurrents were surging all over the Origin World.
There was a rumor that someone saw the Demon Devouring Clan Leader standing on the peak of a volcano, as if he was going against the heavens.
Some said that it was an illusion and not the real body of the Demon Devouring Clan Leader.
Some said that the Demon Devouring Clan Leader had not shown up for countless eras. He had died long ago, but the four major branches kept it a secret.
All kinds of rumors could be heard.
The entire Origin World was in a state of panic. Everyone was actively increasing their strength in preparation for the impending disaster.
As for the Chaos Realm …
With a Great Monarch standing guard, there shouldn't be any major problems.
As for those from the Devouring Demon Clan who had barged into the Godsfall Battlefield from the Primal Chaos Battlefield, the Great Sage did not kill them all. Leaving them alive was a form of training for the warriors of the Primal Chaos Realm.
If they couldn't even withstand this kind of tempering, then they would definitely die in the upcoming catastrophe.
In the Kingdom of Blood.
Fang Chen was completely unaware that his every move affected the hearts of all living beings in the entire Chaotic Realm.
It took him a full three months to fully recover.
Whoosh!
He held the Spirit Slayer Sword in his hand and performed the Invincible Sword Technique.
Streaks of exquisite swordsmanship were displayed in front of him.
Pa pa pa!
The elder with the walking stick couldn't help but applaud. It was just too exquisite.
"Your swordsmanship has already reached the Greater Mastery Realm. It is only a step away from a Supreme Technique. Furthermore, because it was created by you, it is extremely compatible with you. That is why it is able to unleash power comparable to a Supreme Technique."
The elder with the walking stick commented, "In time, you will definitely become a Sword Saint, or even a Sword Dao Supreme."
The last Sword Dao Supreme was Fu Jian Supreme.
"My body has recovered. Can I participate in the third test?"
Fang Chen asked.
Before the Great Calamity, he had to transform his perfect bloodline. If possible, it would be best if he could step into the Supreme Realm.
Whoosh!
He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
"The third test is the heart."
The elder with the walking stick waved his hand and a sealed blood-red space appeared.
"If you can hold on, you pass."
After that, the blood-red space opened and Fang Chen entered.
Buzz!
As soon as he entered, he felt his Primordial Spirit tremble.
"What are you cultivating for?"
An evil voice echoed in the blood-red space. This voice contained an extremely strong penetrating power and directly hit Fang Chen's Primordial Spirit.
Dong dong dong!
His Primordial Spirit trembled and he felt dizzy. He almost fainted.
"What are you cultivating for?"
Fang Chen muttered to himself. "Of course, it's to protect the people I want to protect."
"The world will eventually be destroyed. No matter how strong you are, what can you do?
In the end, won't you still have to watch your family die one by one? "
The evil voice sounded again.
A look of determination appeared in Fang Chen's eyes.
"Cultivation is going against the heavens. If the world is going to be destroyed, then I will stop it."
However …
At this moment, a subtle aura entered his mind.
In an instant, Fang Chen hallucinated and saw everything.
"Brother Chen, save me."
Star and Moon, dressed in a purple robe, stood on the top of the snow mountain and was besieged by the demon cultivators. Her body was covered in blood and her aura was weak. There was no way to escape.
"Star and Moon, you can't escape."
"Hmph, how dare you kill us demon cultivators. You're courting death."
"Today, we must kill you."
Ferocious voices reverberated in the air.
Star and Moon's cheeks were full of tears. "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that I won't see you again."
Star and Moon, who was crying, jumped down the snow mountain.
However, the demon cultivators did not intend to let her go. They attacked together and collapsed the snow mountain, instantly burying Star and Moon.
"Yue 'er."
In the blood-red space, Fang Chen fell into madness. His eyes were red and he roared angrily in a delirious state.
He punched the ground again and again, and blood flowed out. He felt no pain, as if he was a walking corpse.
"Father, save me."
Fang Xi was being chased by the black-robed men and had no way to escape.
"Father, avenge us."
Fang Han and Fang Yun, his two sons, were also forced into a dead end.
Fang Chen felt that the sky was falling.
He had cultivated desperately all his life in order to protect his family from any harm.
But now, he could only watch helplessly as his wife and children died in the hands of demonic cultivators. Yet, there was nothing he could do.
"No."
Fang Chen roared angrily, tears falling.
"Is it worth it to give up your family for cultivation?"
The evil voice kept torturing Fang Chen.
At this time, Fang Chen fell into madness. He began to doubt himself, the original intention of cultivation, and even his cultivation experience over the years.
He was in a state of extreme confusion.
If he couldn't withstand it, he would go berserk and fall into the Devil's Path.
