One person established a clan

Chapter 332: Uneasy
The Upper Realm, the Sacred Land of the Wrathful Clan—

Many cultivators have already gathered here, secretly exchanging messages with each other. The thousand-foot-tall divine palace is ethereal and magnificent, yet it is faintly permeated with a chilling aura.

An elderly man with silver hair on the jade throne quietly opened his eyes and smiled meaningfully:

"—It's already done."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators from the five races all looked over, their faces showing surprise.

"Elder, what do you mean by that?"

“By using the power of the Heavenly Secret and the Ancient Seal, we have laid down the ‘Death Knot Cage’ in the Yellow Heaven Mystic Realm. The Heavenly Star Goddess and Su Cheng are both trapped in it and have no chance of escaping.”

"really!?"

Many cultivators were overjoyed.

The silver-haired old man casually flicked his sleeve, and a vast galaxy seemed to flow quietly between his fingers and palm.

"Even with extraordinary cultivation, one cannot stir up any trouble under the suppression of the sacred artifact."

The cultivators from the five races looked at him with different expressions, but they could not hide the shock in their hearts.

This elder of the Chen clan is even more powerful than before. He has probably reached the profound realm of the Void Profound, which is why he can control the sacred object to such an extent.

The fluctuations in aura just now were clearly a calculation of heavenly secrets, using profound methods to scheme against the Heavenly Star Goddess and others across realms, and even setting up layers of killing traps.
Their deep scheming and cunning methods are truly chilling.

"Elder Cheng, you truly live up to your reputation as a master of divine calculation."

Outside the hall, several figures arrived with immense pressure, and said in a low voice, "With you taking action this time, victory is truly assured."

"We have been preparing for this day for thousands of years. How could I continue to remain in seclusion?"

The silver-haired elder smiled faintly: "After this battle, the history of the Five Desolate Regions will be rewritten, and my Chen Clan will naturally leave a strong mark on it."

"However, you may have underestimated the Heavenly Star Goddess and Su Cheng."

The newcomer's tone grew increasingly somber: "Their combined strength allowed them to kill several elders from my five clans and even seal the Dark Domain passage; they are no pushovers."

"I know what I'm doing."

The silver-haired old man said meaningfully, "Even if they can break free of the cage in the future, so what?"

By the time it arrived in the upper realm, everything had already settled down.

At that time, even with the power to reach the heavens and the earth, how could they possibly contend against the complete arrival of the Dark Realm?
"Elder, this kind of mentality is unacceptable."

The newcomer quickly revealed a sinister smile and waved his sleeve lightly. "Why not add my Lotus Clan's Demon Slayer to the list and send him to the Yellow Heaven Mystic Realm to eradicate him completely, so that we can eliminate any future troubles?"

Inside the dark cave—

A flash of madness flickered in those scarlet eyes.

Su Cheng frowned slightly upon seeing this: "Eleventh Miss, where did you get this aura from the Dark Domain?"

“It is deep within this place.”

Shiyi withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "I originally intended to go to the Upper Realm with Duanmu to investigate, but I soon realized that the situation had changed after entering the Yellow Heaven Mystic Realm."

She gazed intently into the depths of the cave: "A large amount of dark energy has suddenly emerged from this place, overflowing outwards at an out-of-control rate."

Duanmu, unwilling to let the matter rest, sought to find its source, but was suddenly struck by a terrifying pressure from the heavens and imprisoned in the depths of the Netherworld.

Before he finished speaking, the entire cave suddenly trembled.

Eleven gripped the longsword driven into the ground, his eyes gleaming with crimson light. "Now, I alone will temporarily suppress the source of the dark domain in the mountains to prevent the situation from worsening."

Su Cheng said in a deep voice, "Do you need my help?"

"No need for now."

Eleven gave him a cold glance. "Go deep into the cave, and you'll see a bottomless chaotic rift. Find a way to bring Duanmu out."

"How is Senior Duanmu now?"

"With her abilities, she is safe and sound. But it seems that someone is secretly interfering with the workings of heaven, using profound mystical arts to cloud her mind, causing her to be repeatedly controlled."

Eleven paused slightly, then said, "With the power of the Hidden Ancient Seal, even she will find it difficult to escape for the time being."

Su Cheng asked solemnly, "Is that Hidden Ancient Seal one of the Ten Sacred Objects?"

“Indeed. This object can seal and suppress gods and demons, and store realms. When the Upper Realm was created, its power was relied upon.”

A flash of murderous intent appeared in the cold beauty's eyes. "It was also kept by the Upper Realm thousands of years ago, but now it should have fallen into the hands of the five races."

Su Cheng seemed to be deep in thought, and then set off to check the situation inside the cave.

If there's a chance, rescue Senior Duanmu first—

Chi!
A strange movement suddenly came from the side.

Su Cheng paused, turning his head to look. He saw that Eleven was surrounded by a red glow, and even the corners of her eyes were bleeding. She clenched her teeth tightly, her whole body tense, as if she was trying her best to suppress the turmoil within her body.

"Girl, let me help you first."

As Su Cheng spoke, he simultaneously focused on manipulating the puppet to delve deeper into the cave, searching for the location where Duanmu Jing had been suppressed.

Seeing him turn and walk towards her, the icy beauty's face turned cold, and she rebuked him coldly: "If you also become tainted by the Dark Domain's profound energy, we will have no chance to leave this place—"

"It's okay, I have a way to deal with it."

Su Cheng forcefully interrupted her, grabbing her right wrist that was holding the sword without saying a word.

[Dark Domain Mystic Qi detected. Absorb?]

[Detected 'Saint Yuan Body' (prototype)]

"Absorb." Before she could struggle, Su Cheng thought for a moment, and streams of black energy instantly flowed into his palm.

"Woo!"

The black-haired beauty suddenly widened her red eyes, a sudden whimper escaped her throat, her legs tensed abruptly, and her whole body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted.

The dark energy that had been entrenched in her flesh and blood was rapidly drawn away, as if even her soul was being sucked away.

"Slow down, slow down. This won't do."

Her lips trembled slightly, and the cold and beautiful woman uttered broken and soft murmurs.

Su Cheng's brow twitched, and he quickly slowed down his absorption, which made her expression improve slightly.

"How is it now?"

"."

Eleven pursed her lips, her jade-like face slightly turned to the side, a hint of annoyance showing between her dark brows.

Having suffered once before, to taste this strange flavor again now is truly...
But feeling her own internal energy becoming increasingly relaxed, she remained silent for a moment before finally speaking coldly: "Even if you go to all this trouble to save me, it won't help you much."

"There's no need for such formality between friends."

Su Cheng said in a low voice, "The young lady once went to Tianhuang City to help me, how can I stand idly by now?"

The aloof beauty paused slightly, subtly averting her gaze, and sighed helplessly, "You really are still too young."

hum!
The longsword trembled suddenly, and countless dark patterns appeared on the ground, all converging at her feet.

Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly: "The source of these dark domain auras is now..."

"They have all been absorbed into my body."

Eleven slowly exhaled a wisp of black smoke: "I don't have such unique abilities as you. In times of crisis, I can only use this method to suppress it with my own strength."

Su Cheng chuckled: "You're much more reckless than I am."

"I just don't want to hear you say these words."

A complex emotion flickered in the cold, beautiful woman's eyes.

Why does my usually calm state of mind always stir when I'm facing Su Cheng? This indescribable emotion is truly...
As she sighed inwardly, her eyes suddenly sharpened.

"careful!"

She instinctively tried to push Su Cheng away, but her wrist was firmly gripped by his, and she was pulled away from where she stood.

Boom——!
In an instant, almost half of the mountain was cleaved and shattered by a single blow, dust and debris swirling wildly in the sky, and an immense pressure swept out like a raging tide.

"Ho-"

A hoarse breathing echoed through the sky.

As the dark clouds parted, a pitch-black figure slowly descended from the sky, spreading its sharp wings and looking down with disdain at the ruins and scorched earth below.

"."

As the smoke and dust cleared, the two figures soon came into view.

"I never expected that demons would be lurking here."

With one arm around the cold and beautiful woman in his arms, Su Cheng slowly stood up from the ruins, looked up at the sky and said: "It seems that the person who plotted against us is determined to kill us all."

"Let me handle this." Eleven lowered her red eyes, leaning against his chest, breathing softly. "This demon is not easy to deal with."

"Miss, you shouldn't force yourself to keep going."

Su Cheng tightened his grip on her body and said in a low voice, "Leave it to me."
