Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1783: Chapter 1822: Welcome Back

Jiang Fan was startled. Could it be that Xia Chaoge didn’t want to act anymore and was ready to come clean?

He thought it over and immediately denied that idea.

At this moment Xia Chaoge should still be in the Heavenly State; how could she have made it down to the underground world in time?

But if it wasn’t her, who else could it be?

Could it be that White-robed Skeleton from the Thunder God Heavenly Palace?

Thinking of its heaven-defying methods, a chill ran through his heart. He quietly prepared the Immortal King’s Undying Bell and, without changing his expression, clasped Yue Mingzhu’s hand.

If it really was that thing, then they’d just jump into the Hell Realm!

This person was from the Angel Clan, mortal enemies with the Hell Realm—surely they wouldn’t dare charge into the Hell Realm to pursue and kill, right?

”What’s wrong?” Yue Mingzhu had been staring in the direction where Ayushura King vanished, silently shedding tears. Suddenly sensing Jiang Fan’s abnormality, she became alert.

Jiang Fan pulled her back to the edge of the Abyss and said in a low voice, ”An unbeatable existence has arrived.”

Yue Mingzhu’s pupils trembled; this was the first time she had heard the words ”unbeatable” come out of Jiang Fan’s mouth.

Just how powerful an enemy would that have to be?

She was still in shock and doubt.

Out of nowhere, right in front of the two of them, there flashed into existence a curvaceous woman in white with pure snow-white angelic wings.

Instantaneous Movement?

Isn’t that Divinity Transformation Realm?

Yue Mingzhu was stunned. Divinity Transformation Realm also counted as a powerful enemy?

Well, no offense to Divinity Transformation, just relatively speaking—relative to Jiang Fan.

Within the Divinity Transformation Realm, aside from a Great Venerate who could pose a lethal threat to Jiang Fan, the rest were hardly worth mentioning.

Moreover, this winged woman in front of them shouldn’t even count as particularly strong within the Divinity Transformation Realm, right?

Jiang Fan was also dumbfounded.

Staring at the little mini angel bobbing up and down above the female angel’s head, he froze.

This was a One-Qi Angel Leader, right?

Equivalent to the Human Clan’s Heavenly Human Decline Divinity Transformation Realm.

So it hadn’t been White-robed Skeleton after all. The heart that had almost leapt into Jiang Fan’s throat finally settled, and he then stared in surprise at the female angel who had appeared out of thin air.

”Hehehe, Jiang Fan, did I scare you?”

The female angel folded her arms, smiling proudly.

Huh?

Jiang Fan was completely puzzled. This female angel knew him?

That shouldn’t be. In the Heavenly Realm, Xia Chaoge was his only female contact; who was this suddenly appearing female angel supposed to be?

Currently in all of Central Earth, there was only one place that still had other angels.

That was the Thunder God Heavenly Palace.

But other than White-robed Skeleton, everyone there was a corpse from the Angel Clan; there was no one else...

Wait.

A certain Remnant Soul that could eat, drink, and sleep surfaced in Jiang Fan’s mind!

And after Yue Mingzhu studied the female angel in front of them, she too sensed something off. Nine-colored light surged in her eyes as she transmitted her voice:

”Husband, her body is a corpse.”

Hearing this, Jiang Fan confirmed his guess.

The person in front of him was none other than Hua Xin!

”Hehehe, you dog, you don’t know who I am, do you?” Hua Xin stared at Jiang Fan, memories of gnawing on Yin Qi radishes in the Ghost Soul Crystal flashing through her mind.

Flames churned in her eyes.

She pulled out a Yin Qi radish and said murderously, ”Remember now?”

Jiang Fan finally put on a look of sudden realization. ”So it’s an old friend?”

”My bad, I accidentally left you behind in the Thunder God Heavenly Palace last time.”

Accidentally?

Left behind?

Hua Xin let out a furious laugh. ”Shameless mutt, using me as a shield—today I’ve come for revenge!”

She clenched her fingers, crushing the Yin Qi radish until juice splattered everywhere.

”You never dreamed my life would be this tough, did you? Not only did I come back alive, I’ve returned in the glory of the Divinity Transformation Realm!”

Jiang Fan was indeed a bit surprised. He’d thought that even if Hua Xin didn’t die, she’d be trapped in the Thunder God Heavenly Palace.

Yet she had actually walked out alive; that didn’t seem right.

He rubbed his chin. ”Why didn’t White-robed Skeleton kill you?”

Hua Xin snorted. ”Of course I...”

Halfway through the sentence she remembered: the only reason she survived was because she pretended to be Jiang Fan’s most beloved wife, and only then did White-robed Skeleton see a bit of value in her and spare her life.

Guiltily, she changed her words. ”Because of my brilliant wits and ingenuity, I crossed swords with that old thing in a battle of intellect and came out alive.”

Really?

Jiang Fan looked straight into Hua Xin’s eyes.

This woman did have some petty smarts, and she wasn’t stupid, but ”battle of intellect” was an exaggeration by at least eight pole lengths.

He had no idea how she’d managed to muddle through.

But that wasn’t important anymore.

He asked in puzzlement, ”You finally got out of the Thunder God Heavenly Palace. Instead of hiding, why come looking for me?”

Hua Xin was so furious she laughed. ”Why do you think?”

”I’ve endured humiliation and hardship, finally reached Divinity Transformation in my cultivation—how could I not avenge the torment you put me through?”

”You dog, hand over your life!”

Her One-Qi Angel Leader aura surged like raging waves, anger blazing in her eyes.

Yue Mingzhu wore a strange expression. Huh? She’d come to take revenge on Jiang Fan?

She actually felt a bit sorry for this little female ghost; from the moment they met, she’d been bullied by Jiang Fan.

”Ahem...” Yue Mingzhu gave a dry cough. ”Senior Hua Xin, just let it go.”

”The Hell Realm passage is already open. Since you’re a Hell Realm being, just go back. Let’s write off all past grudges.”

Hua Xin was enraged by this. ”Write it off? What, are you afraid I’ll beat your sweetheart to death?”

”Don’t worry, I’ll spare his life. I’ll imprison his soul and torture him slowly, just like he did to me back then!”

Then she glared viciously at Jiang Fan. ”You little mutt, hand over your life!”

Her voice was still in the air when her figure had already Instantaneously Moved.

She knew how formidable Jiang Fan was and that he had many tricks, but Jiang Fan had one huge fatal flaw.

He couldn’t counter the Instantaneous Movement of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

As long as she was fast enough, she could break through all of Jiang Fan’s methods.

”Hmph, this is my first battle after regaining Divinity Transformation. I’ll take you as my opening act!”

In mid-Instantaneous Movement, Hua Xin let out a cold snort.

But unexpectedly, her vision blurred, and Jiang Fan, carrying Yue Mingzhu, actually followed along with her Instantaneous Movement.

Eh?

Hua Xin was stunned. Jiang Fan could Instantaneously Move too?

Wasn’t that an ability exclusive to the Divinity Transformation Realm?

A wild, unbelievable thought popped into her mind. ”Don’t tell me you’ve also reached Divinity Transformation?”

Jiang Fan shrugged and released his Heavenly Human Two Declines aura.

His presence soared far above Hua Xin’s, directly disrupting her Instantaneous Movement and sending her plummeting from midair, smashing heavily into the ground.

Her charming eyes went round as saucers. ”Heavenly Human Two Declines?” she cried in horror.

”I was in the Thunder God Heavenly Palace for a few days; has it already been several years in the outside world?”

Jiang Fan landed and smiled casually. ”Not really. I just cultivate a bit fast, that’s all.”

Huh?

Hua Xin was utterly confused.

When she left the Thunder God Heavenly Palace, Jiang Fan had only been an Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul, with a huge question mark hanging over whether he’d ever reach Divinity Transformation in this life.

How had he become Heavenly Human Two Declines in just a few days?

Coming back to her senses, Hua Xin’s eyes rolled, and she decisively flapped the wings on her back, turning into a blur as she Instantaneously Moved toward the Abyss, actually intending to flee back into the Hell Realm.

Bang!

But just as she Instantaneously Moved above the Abyss, a ten-zhang-tall five-colored little mountain came crashing down, slamming her onto the ground with a thunderous boom.

Jiang Fan took out the Ghost Soul Crystal and smiled faintly.

”Welcome back, my old friend.”
