Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2097: Chapter 2141: Farewell to the Demoness

Bingxin gave him a wary glance, ignored him, and let her body fade from solid to illusory as she left.

Feng Lingxiao’s face showed a smile: ”An unexpected gain, to actually run into a Saint’s descendant.”

”And our ancestor must surely have been an extremely powerful Saint Realm expert.”

The corner of his mouth hooked up as he chased off in the direction Bingxin had gone.

Five days later.

Jiang Fan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze almost tangible, piercing through the surrounding Void in all directions.

The fair skin that was revealed faintly carried a layer of pale golden halo.

His body also vaguely emitted wisps of the tranquil incense aura of Buddhism.

The Rebellious Guy under his butt inexplicably trembled, faintly feeling a pressure like when facing a Virtuous Realm expert.

It shrank its neck, its voice even more babyish than usual: ”Big brother, have you broken through to the Sage Realm?”

Jiang Fan glanced at the now-empty Power of Laws in his hand and slightly shook his head:

”How could a Virtuous Realm physique be so easy to achieve?”

He had already finished tempering ten strands of Law.

But it had not turned out like what was described in the Heavenly Separation Sutra, where one would cultivate a One Calamity Realm Physique.

When he tempered the fifth Law, his body had already reached its current state.

After that, no matter how he tempered it, it still remained stuck.

He replayed in his mind the experience of tempering his Physique ten times, his eyes showing contemplation:

”In the later tempers, the pain in my body grew weaker and weaker.”

”It should be that as my Physique grew stronger, those strands of Power of Laws I used before had increasingly diminished tempering effect on me, until they became ineffective.”

”If I want to break through this bottleneck, I’ll need far stronger Power of Laws.”

Understanding where the problem lay, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Looks like he’d have to make the Sages of the Ice Realm bleed a bit.

He was pondering this when, out of nowhere, a blood-colored lotus brushed past the Void in front of him, leaving behind a long blood shadow.

Jiang Fan cast a wary look over.

By now that blood-colored lotus had already disappeared from his line of sight.

But as a faint golden Buddha Light emerged in Jiang Fan’s eyes, the distant Void World in his vision kept shrinking.

That lotus came back into view.

On it sat a group of men and women of various ages, their cultivation ranging from Heavenly Person Decline to the Heavenly Human Five Declines.

Their expressions were solemn, none of them spoke.

Jiang Fan had only swept his gaze casually, but unexpectedly, among them he saw a sultry, seductive woman dressed in revealing, alluring clothes.

”Demoness?” Jiang Fan paused for a moment.

The two great Puppets once controlled by the Asura Saint Son were the Heavenly Eye Sage and the Demoness.

This Demoness, before the expedition to the Southern Heavenly Realm, had sought out Jiang Fan, who removed the Blood Worms in her body, allowing her to successfully break free from the Asura Saint Son’s control.

He hadn’t expected that in this vast Void they would meet by chance.

He didn’t know where she and the people beside her were headed.

Not long after, the blood-colored lotus sped away and vanished from sight.

Jiang Fan withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and sped toward the Ice Realm.

In the distance, on the blood-colored lotus.

The Demoness seemed to have sensed something, she turned back to look in Jiang Fan’s direction, doubt in her eyes.

”What are you looking at?”

Sitting beside her was a youth who looked like one of the Human Clan, his gaze gentle and mild.

His voice sounded like a spring breeze.

Yet the Demoness’s delicate body trembled, and she quickly said: ”Master, I feel that man just now looked somewhat familiar.”

The gentle, refined youth glanced sideways at her, smiling faintly:

”Oh?”

”Then I really should have killed him just now, to keep you from running away again.”

The Demoness hurriedly bowed her head in salute: ”This slave wouldn’t dare, this slave wholeheartedly follows Master, to accomplish the great undertaking.”

Half a day later.

Above the Ice Realm.

Jiang Fan looked down at an irregularly shaped fragment of Continent.

Within, it was covered in snow, the ice plains stretching endlessly.

The frigid aura pierced through the world barrier, forming a layer of icy mist on the outside.

”So this is the Ice Realm?”

Jiang Fan’s gaze shifted toward the western side of the Ice Realm.

A Dark World twice the size of the Ice Realm clung tightly to the Ice Realm’s edge.

At the boundary, blood-red stairways ran through the two realms.

Ancient Giants poured endlessly from the Dark World into the Ice Realm.

His eyes showed loathing as he used the Void Feather Robe to appear directly outside the Ice Realm, his five fingers forming a fist that he smashed hard into the world barrier.

A bang resounded.

With a single punch, he blasted a fist-sized hole into the world barrier.

Breaking the Void with one hand—his Physique was already extremely close to that of a Sage!

The fluctuation of the world barrier immediately triggered the perception of the Ice Realm’s Sages.

A voice filled with expectation penetrated the world barrier and said:

”May I ask if you are a Dao friend who has come in response to the bounty to aid our Ice Realm?”

Bounty?

Jiang Fan paused slightly, and asked, ”What bounty?”

The Sage inside immediately cast a probing look out, and upon noticing Jiang Fan was only at the Heavenly Person Four Declines, his attitude instantly turned cold.

”What’s a Divinity Transformation Realm brat doing here making a fuss?”

”We only want Sages to help us, to kill the Giant Emperor!”

Oh~

Jiang Fan understood.

So the Ice Realm had issued a bounty to the All Heavens, paying some price to invite outside Sages to come slay the Giant Emperor.

At present there were only ten worlds still under attack by Dark Creatures; the other worlds had already freed their hands.

With enough benefits, they could indeed attract Sages to help.

It was much the same as Jiang Fan renting out the Peace Monument.

He said calmly, ”I am from Central Earth.”

”I don’t care where you’re from... wait!”

With a ripping sound, the world barrier was cut open.

An old man at the Two Calamities Realm, hair already white and his vital blood dried up, stepped excitedly out of the Ice Realm, sizing Jiang Fan up from head to toe:

”You are...”

Jiang Fan said evenly, ”Have the Sage who contacted me come out.”

The old man nodded repeatedly, and with a sweep of his sleeve, a Jade Talisman turned into a streak of light and flew into the Ice Realm.

Before long, the Ice Realm Sage, covered in blood, stepped out into the Void.

He looked Jiang Fan over with a trace of suspicion.

Only when Jiang Fan removed the ice crystal pendant on his chest and the ice on his surface shattered, revealing his true face,

did the Ice Realm Sage become overjoyed: ”Jiang Dao You! You’ve come so quickly!”

Through the crack in the Void, Jiang Fan saw the miserable state of the Ice Realm.

Everywhere his gaze landed was ravaged; millions of living beings of the Ice Realm lay dead.

In that snow-white world, many places were stained with blood.

Compassion stirred in his heart, and he cut straight to the point: ”Your realm is suffering a great calamity—we’ll keep this brief!”

”The Peace Monument can be lent to your realm, and I want the ten medium-sized Merit Divine Pearls you promised.”

The Ice Realm Sage hurriedly said, ”No problem, of course there’s no problem! I’ll report to the Great Sage immediately.”

Jiang Fan raised his hand to stop him and said, ”That’s only the initial agreement.”

”You fled the battlefield, causing our Central Earth’s great undertaking to almost collapse.”

”You’ll have to pay some additional price.”

He had long since said these words to the Outer Heaven Sages.

The Ice Realm Sage was already mentally prepared, and said nervously, ”As we should; I just don’t know what Jiang Dao You wishes for?”

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said, ”I want opportunities to break through to the Heavenly Human Five Declines, ten portions!”

Huh?

The Ice Realm Sage looked troubled, smiling bitterly: ”Jiang Dao You, could we change the condition?”

”To tell the truth, our Ice Realm did indeed have a place that granted the Heavenly Human Five Declines opportunity, but the Dao friends who recently came for the bounty have already taken all of it.”

Jiang Fan slightly furrowed his brows.

It seemed that opportunities for the Heavenly Human Five Declines were hard to come by in the other worlds as well.

His eyes turned, and he said, ”Then have your Great Sage hand over all the Power of Laws to me.”

With that much Power of Laws, he could not only set aside a portion to assault the Virtuous Realm physique.

He could also do one extremely important thing.

And that was to activate the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd.
