Chapter 342: The Forest of Golden Radiance
"Brother Sun Zhe, I will accompany you!"
Seeing Sun Zhe in such a state, Jingjing immediately spoke without hesitation. She understood Sun Zhe's greatest concern; if Sun Zhe were truly discovered by the Yao Ancestor, he would likely find himself in an extremely dangerous situation, with the highest possibility of being killed on the spot by the enraged Yao Ancestor.
"No, you still need to lead the Black Shaman Domain. My identity may be problematic, but yours is not. If something were to happen to me, you could proactively seek refuge with one of the Yao Ancestors to continue leading the Black Shaman Domain and then lead the army to assist the Nine Continents Mainland in battling the Demon Clan and the Asura Clan... Additionally, I can leave my Thunder Clone in the Thunder Sea of the Black Shaman Domain. There, even the Yao Ancestor's Divine Consciousness cannot probe, so you do not need to accompany me this time."
Sun Zhe patted Jingjing's shoulder and comforted her. Even if his Killing Clone were to die, as long as his Thunder Clone remained undiscovered, he would not truly perish. This was also a unique aspect of practicing the Shadow Clone Technique, akin to having an extra life compared to ordinary individuals.
"But..."
Despite this, Jingjing still looked somewhat uneasy. Although the Killing Clone was merely a manifestation of Sun Zhe, it was still a part of him. Moreover, it represented over four hundred years of hard work in cultivating a powerful force; a clone based on killing intent from the Pinnacle of Divine Realm could undoubtedly be considered a king among its peers.
"There is no 'but.' This is something we must face; it's just a matter of when. It's a pity that we have yet to find where the Demon Thunder in this demon realm is located. Otherwise, if I could truly merge the three supreme thunders, my Thunder Clone's achievements would likely surpass that of this Killing Clone."
Thinking about this made Sun Zhe involuntarily smile bitterly. His Killing Clone had reached the Pinnacle of Divine Realm over four hundred years by devouring Killing Intent, but his Thunder Clone had stagnated at mid-Divine Realm due to taking a different path. The only way forward was to find the other three supreme thunders and then figure out how to merge them one by one. Only then could he combine all five supreme thunders into one, potentially achieving true thunder rules—this was also what the Thunder God Emperor required of Sun Zhe.
However, the power of such thunder rules would far exceed that of ordinary rules. As for what level could truly be reached, even the Thunder God Emperor, who had already attained the Realm of the Ancestor Deity, could only imagine it. Sun Zhe himself could not predict it either; once he chose to merge with that Divine Thunder Law, there would be no turning back.
"Brother Sun Zhe, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will definitely help your Thunder Clone find the other three supreme thunders. Once you truly achieve thunder rules, we won't have to look at others' faces anymore."
"Heh heh, just be careful with your actions. I leave everything here to you. If something unexpected happens to me, remember not to act impulsively!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe stepped forward into empty space with his right foot. In an instant, he merged into the ground and appeared thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye. The demon realm was vast, but with his speed, reaching the Eastern Domain wouldn't take much time at all.
Looking at the residual spatial ripples left by Sun Zhe, Jingjing's eyes narrowed slightly, her crimson pupils flickering with strange demonic light as she murmured,
"If anything were to happen to my brother Sun Zhe, Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor, I will definitely skin you alive and eradicate your entire clan!"
Sun Zhe was her only support, and Jingjing had long regarded him as her only family. Although she did not know if she could reach the supreme Realm of the Ancestor Deity, she would never let go of anyone who harmed Sun Zhe!
………………
A few days later, a crack suddenly appeared in the Void of the Eastern Domain, and a figure clad in a black robe slowly emerged from the spatial rift. The cold wind howled through the high sky, causing the black robe on Sun Zhe to flutter. He did not continue walking forward but stood quietly in place, his gaze calmly fixed on the void before him.
Before long, the tranquil Void began to tremble slightly. Waves of azure ripples immediately spread out in all directions, like a stone thrown into a lake creating ripples. At the center of these ripples appeared a massive Black Vortex.
"Thud!"
Suddenly, a foot stepped out from within the vortex. Though it was just a foot, it caused the void to tremble upon landing. Following this, the figure of a man in a blue robe slowly appeared before Sun Zhe. He was robustly built with powerful limbs, his eyes crackling with electricity. His brow held an imposing presence without anger, and he emanated an incredibly fierce aura. Every movement radiated an overwhelming sense of nobility.
"Eastern Domain, Azure Dragon Demon Emperor!"
The man in blue stared intently at Sun Zhe, his lips parted as he slowly uttered a few words. As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible storm erupted from within him. The Azure Robe he wore was instantly filled with an overwhelming momentum, and behind him manifested an enormous ancient azure dragon phantom that roared loudly and immediately surged towards Sun Zhe with a force that shook the ground.
"Western Region, Black Fiend Demon Emperor!"
Sun Zhe's expression remained unchanged as he coldly uttered six words. As soon as he spoke, a Black Sword materialized on his forehead, emanating a terrifying Killing Intent that enveloped the earth around him. Behind Sun Zhe appeared the silhouette of a hundred-foot-long sword, entirely black and seemingly containing an unparalleled malevolent spirit.
"Thunderous Roar..."
The continuous sound of rumbling echoed in the void. Although it was merely a clash of momentum, it stirred up countless terrifying waves of energy. However, both Sun Zhe and the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor stood firm amidst the storm, seemingly unaffected, not even furrowing their brows.
"The one known as the Western Region Black Fiend Demon Emperor has reached a profound level of cultivation, mastering the Law of Slaughter to the point of materialization. Today’s encounter is indeed extraordinary!"
With a wave of his right sleeve, the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor summoned a gust of azure whirlwind that swept through, and in an instant, the terrifying energy vanished without a trace. Fixing his gaze on Sun Zhe, a hint of admiration surfaced on the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor's face. Within the entire demon realm, few could earn his respect, and now Sun Zhe was one of them.
"The Azure Dragon Demon Emperor possesses astonishing Divine Abilities, and the Azure Dragon Bloodline is incredibly powerful, far surpassing my own."
Sun Zhe took a step forward and smiled as he spoke. The Azure Dragon Demon Emperor was the uncrowned king of the Eastern Domain, dominating it for countless years. The forces under his command were much stronger than his own, and he had long since reached the pinnacle of Divine Realm cultivation. Coupled with the power of his Ancient bloodline, his strength was undoubtedly on par with Sun Zhe's.
"Haha... Black Fiend Demon Emperor is too modest. I am here on the orders of Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor to guide you."
Hearing Sun Zhe's praise, a smile appeared on the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor's face. While he might not pay much attention to compliments from ordinary individuals, he appreciated the acknowledgment from a peer of equal standing, and his words carried a hint of friendliness.
"Then I must trouble you, Azure Dragon Demon Emperor."
Sun Zhe clasped his hands together in courtesy.
As soon as he finished speaking, they ceased their idle chatter and swiftly moved eastward. Their cultivation had already reached an advanced level; with each step, they covered vast distances. Several hours later, their figures appeared on the easternmost land of the entire demon realm.
Everyone in the Eastern Domain knew that within this region, the most dangerous place was not the Azure Dragon Camp, which housed millions of troops, nor was it Azure Dragon City where the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor resided. Instead, it was a place known as the Golden Radiance Forest.
The Golden Radiance Forest was composed of trees made from crimson-gold Thunderwood, covering an enormous area spanning thousands of miles. This vast land was dominated by a beast race known as the Golden Horn Thunder Beast. Outsiders rarely entered this territory, and even those who managed to get inside seldom returned. Over time, it became a forbidden zone; even those from the Azure Dragon Demon Domain dared not provoke this race.
What outsiders did not know was that the reason people from the Azure Dragon Demon Domain refrained from disturbing this race was that within the Golden Radiance Forest resided the true ruler of the entire Eastern Domain—known as the oldest Yao Ancestor in the demon realm—Golden Thunder Demon Ancestor.
A gust of wind howled as two black figures appeared at the edge of the Golden Radiance Forest. They were none other than Sun Zhe and the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor, who had hurriedly arrived. In the eyes of outsiders, the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor was supreme, yet he could only serve as a messenger for the Yao Ancestor, which illustrated the immense power of the Yao Ancestor.
Before Sun Zhe could speak, the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor stepped forward. However, he did not enter the Golden Radiance Forest; instead, he stood in front of it and called out loudly,
"Azure Dragon, under the orders of Yao Ancestor, brings Black Fiend Demon Emperor here. Please show us the way, Yao Ancestor!"
His clear voice echoed above the Golden Radiance Forest but did not resonate outward; it seemed to be firmly fixed within that area.
"Bring him in..."
The aged voice followed, carrying a heavy sense of vicissitudes, resonating in the ears of both men like the voice of the earth itself. It seemed to contain endless earthly laws, causing even those who had reached the Pinnacle of Divine Realm to feel a hint of submission.
At the moment this voice sounded, Sun Zhe's heart also trembled slightly. Although it was not his first time encountering an Ancestral God Level powerhouse, he had never felt such tension before.
"Let's go!"
With a call from the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor, Sun Zhe took a deep breath, a glimmer of determination flashing in his eyes, and then stepped forward.
