Chapter 1499 (Raw 1479): Suddenly Disappearing
This person had a sword on his back and was dressed all in black. It was Chu Chaoyun, who had not shown himself for a long time.
After Chu Chaoyun finished his business in the Sky Dome Realm, he came to this place and indeed had been waiting for nearly a year already.
“Who are you?”
Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King did not know Chu Chaoyun. So, their faces sank as they ferociously encased Chu Chaoyun with their killing Qi.
Chu Chaoyung smiled faintly, unflustered before the pressure of two Primes. He replied calmly, “I’m Chu Chaoyun. Like Xiao Chen, I came from the Sky Dome Realm. There is no need for the two of you to be so nervous.”
“There is Demonic Qi in him!” the Spirit Fox King said softly; he had yet to relax his guard.
Ying Zongtian frowned and asked, “Xiao Chen, you know him?”
The two Primes did not have a good impression of anyone from the Demonic World.
Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised, not at Chu Chaoyun’s appearance but that other party was waiting here so openly.
He once thought of many possibilities for how Chu Chaoyun would appear.
However, he had never imagined that Chu Chaoyun would appear in such a manner. This was truly unexpected.
Xiao Chen felt conflicted upon hearing Ying Zongtian’s question, not knowing how to answer it. After thinking for a while, he said honestly, “I know him. He is the descendant of the Tianwu Emperor. He should be waiting here for the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame.”
“Then, he is an enemy!”
Compared to Xiao Chen’s hesitation, Ying Zongtian was incredibly decisive. Killing Qi gathered in his eyes. Then, he threw a palm strike, ruthlessly smashing it towards Chu Chaoyun.
A bright sun lit up the surroundings; the might of the supreme sky surged in all directions.
The large sun that flew out of Ying Zongtian’s palm arrived before Chu Chaoyun in the blink of an eye, trying to burn him to ashes and eliminate him as soon as possible.
“Whoosh!”
A beam of golden light flew out of the bright sun. Then, a loud sound followed. The blazing sun shattered and turned into countless fireballs scattering in all directions.
Chu Chaoyun withdrew his hand and stood upright. Then, he looked at Ying Zongtian and said, “The Primes of the Kunlun Realm are really bad-tempered. Even when the Demon Monarchs of the Demonic World see me, they do not get this angry.”
He dealt with that so easily?!
The Spirit Fox King and Ying Zongtian were both startled. When did someone like this appear in the Demonic World? He was so young but was already so strong, easily receiving a palm strike from Ying Zongtian.

In the distance, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God had arrived long ago and hidden somewhere. When they saw this scene, they frowned slightly.
“Who is that fellow?”
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign felt confused. There was no such person in his plans.
“Whoosh!”
A figure appeared behind the two. It was the East Mountain Ghost Monarch rushing over.
Hiding his doubts, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign asked casually, “Ghost Monarch, did you come alone?”
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch smiled calmly and replied, “Naturally. Didn’t you instruct me not to bring any other people in case Xiao Chen notices? Of course, I know what to do.”
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign smiled coldly in his heart but did not show any traces of it on his face. “Very good. Later, the instant Xiao Chen opens the palace doors, I’ll let you be the first to attack.”
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch thought to himself, This Deity Sovereign intends to use me. However, it’s fine. This decision of his suits my purposes.
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch did not change his expression as he said, “Don’t worry. With me attacking, although I can’t be certain of killing Xiao Chen, I should be able to stop him from entering the Azure Dragon Palace.”
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God thought to himself, It looks like the East Mountain Ghost Monarch does have some other plans. However, he does not know that the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign already figured him out.
Nevertheless, the outcome is uncertain. The Ghost Monarch might have some trump cards of his own. I shall just wait and see first. I cannot fully trust anyone. In the end, I can only play it by ear in order to not get deceived.
The three giants of the Deity Dao Union spoke with smiles on their faces, but they all held malicious intentions in their hearts.

On the other side, after receiving Ying Zongtian’s palm strike, Chu Chaoyun saw that he was going to attack again. So, Chu Chaoyun said, “At this point in time, we should not be divided. If you attack me, you will have to be careful of others taking advantage.”
“What do you mean?” the Spirit Fox King asked, feeling confused. Could there be some other people here?
Chu Chaoyun looked at the sky before bringing his gaze back down. Then, he said, “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Although I have not discovered the presence of others, I’m certain that there are at least four people hidden, watching our every move.”
After Chu Chaoyun said that, his gaze shifted to Xiao Chen. “This is just the people of the Kunlun Realm. Who knows, there might be people from the Demonic World hidden somewhere as well.”
Xiao Chen looked around; the place seemed quiet. When he scanned the surroundings with his Spiritual Sense, he did not discover anything within five thousand kilometers.
However, he knew that if Prime-level existences wanted to hide, he would not be able to discover them.
It was just like how, when Xiao Chen wanted to hide, the other party would not be able to discover him. Hence, his Spiritual Sense was not reliable.
However, the situation forced Xiao Chen to stand in the open. Furthermore, he did not know who was hiding.
In a voice projection, Ying Zongtian said, This person makes some sense. The Deity Dao Union’s group would not come so openly to the Azure Dragon Palace. Who knows, they might already be hiding nearby.
Xiao Chen looked at Chu Chaoyun and asked, “Chu Chaoyun, what exactly do you want? Just be straightforward.”
Chu Chaoyun waved his hand and smiled bitterly. “Brother Xiao, don’t overthink. I’m just waiting for you to open the doors. When this Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation detects your bloodline and your current strength, it should not have any effect on you.”
Naturally, Xiao Chen did not believe that Chu Chaoyun’s motive was that pure. After discussing with Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King, he walked calmly to the edge of the formation.
The Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation could change time and space, showing many variants. Even Primes could not enter.
Many pairs of hidden eyes stared at Xiao Chen, waiting for him to walk over.
Without hesitating for too long, Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and stepped in.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, the space within the formation turned dark. It was completely dark except for the space under Xiao Chen’s feet, which remained bright. It looked very eye-catching in this dark space.
Indeed, he is fine!
The strange scene was within the many people’s expectations. However, when they personally saw it, they still could not help exclaiming in their hearts.
Xiao Chen calmed himself and walked forward, step by step. Everywhere he passed, light appeared. Inside that dark space, he left a clear path as he walked towards the palace doors.
Within the formation, Xiao Chen found it hard to keep calm. As he looked at the palace doors, he felt hundreds of emotions.
The instant he pushed open the doors, the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation would probably lift automatically. At that time, what awaited him?
Xiao Chen did not know how many hidden people were watching him from within five thousand kilometers.
The strongest possibility was that the instant he opened the doors, he would be killed before he could even step inside.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King suddenly soared into the air, one moving to the left and the other to the right, casually flanking Chu Chaoyun.
Chu Chaoyun smiled calmly. “There is no need for the two of you to mind me so much. You will have plenty to do the instant the doors open.”
Chu Chaoyun’s calmness irritated Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King somewhat. However, they had to admit that he was right.
Neither of them was very confident that they could block all the attacks that would come at Xiao Chen the instant the door opened.
Before Xiao Chen came here, Ying Zongtian suggested that he invite the three Primes of the Heavenly Starry Ocean as well.
However, Xiao Chen felt that the Heavenly Starry Ocean was not very peaceful at the moment. If all the Primes left, something bad might happen. Hence, he did not contact these people.
Ten steps…nine steps…eight steps…seven steps…six steps…
Even though Xiao Chen did not walk very fast, he still approached, step by step. Finally, he was only one step away from the palace doors.
All Xiao Chen had to do was raise his hand, and he could push the palace doors open.
At this moment, the surroundings fell even more silent.
“Rumble!”
Just at this moment, countless ferocious beasts suddenly went berserk. They seemed to flee into the distance, kicking up clouds of dust, the ground rumbling under their feet.
Birds filled the air, covering the sky and the sun as they scattered in all directions.
Clearly, some people could no longer restrain their killing Qi and let it out slightly. These ferocious beasts with sharp senses could not endure it. The fear that woke in their hearts spurred them to abandon the place.
Once all the ferocious beasts had left, this world seemed to turn far quieter; not even the wind blew.
The gazes of everyone around were now all fixed on Xiao Chen’s right hand, which he was raising. It looked like he was about to push the palace doors open.
Ying Zongtian, who was looking at Xiao Chen, glanced to the left, and his expression changed drastically. Chu Chaoyun had disappeared.
“What’s going on?”
The Spirit Fox King and Ying Zongtian exchanged glances, feeling that something was wrong.
