In the sealed underground space, Xiao Chong's Life and Death Sword struck a desperate lunge towards the demon preparing to self-destruct.
After all, self-destruction for escape could leave behind a trace of the soul.
But Xiao Chong wanted to ensure the demon's complete annihilation, both body and soul, to be safe.
"Ah! You lowly beings of this lower realm, when my clan's strong ones descend, it will be your doom!"
"Perhaps, but you won't live to see it."
A tremendous roar erupted before Xiao Chong's Life and Death Sword, and the demon's soul was utterly obliterated in that instant.
However, the residual energy explosion began to stir a storm within the demon's body.
The deafening explosion completely destroyed the already shattered space from the previous battle.
The meteorite that had covered the underground cavern was blown away, no destination unknown.
Xiao Chong's body was also flung out by the blast, soaring through the air.
Though black smoke billowed from his body, he had managed to use the Samadhi True Flame as a shield in time to block most of the attack, so his injuries weren't too severe.
At the same time, six colorful vortexes appeared in Xiao Chong's hand, looking very beautiful.
These were the heavenly flames he had temporarily preserved using the same method he used to store the Green Lotus Core Flame in the underground cavern.
The other flames had already withered under the resistance of the extraterrestrial demon, and without intelligence, they were quickly collected by Xiao Chong.
As for the intelligent Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, it had survived significantly after the explosion. Moreover, since Xiao Chong had destroyed the demon it had sealed right before its 'eyes,' it offered little resistance to Xiao Chong's protection and was also collected.
To avoid drawing attention, Xiao Chong stored them all in his spatial ring.
But now, after the space had completely exploded and the demon was utterly annihilated, the Life and Death Sword in Xiao Chong's hand gradually faded away.
"Brother Xiao Chong, are you alright?"
Seeing Xiao Chong fly back, Nalan Yanran and Qing Lin quickly approached, and everyone on the Yellow Stone Fortress breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the unknown monster in the cavern below, Xiao Chong certainly made them feel more at ease.
At the same time, while relieved, they also felt a wave of fear.
After all, they had all worked together to dispel a wisp of the aura that had floated out earlier, and that one wisp required their combined efforts to cleanse.
Who knows how strong the monster Xiao Chong faced below? Seeing the worried expressions on Qing Lin and Nalan Yanran's faces, Xiao Chong gently patting their heads.
"I'm fine."
Hearing Xiao Chong's words, Nalan Yanran finally relaxed, and little Qing Lin quickly snuggled into her arms.
Yun Yun stepped forward and asked,
"Mr. Xiao Chong, what exactly was that strange thing down there?"
If it weren't for Xiao Chong's unexpected presence here, they wouldn't have known that such a strange thing existed in the battlefield between the Chu Yun Empire and the Jia Ma Empire.
The people around, including Jia Xing Tian, also gathered around, showing great concern for this piece of information.
In response, Xiao Chong stretched lazily and said, "It's better if you don't know. Ignorance is bliss. That kind of thing isn't necessary for you to know at this stage." Xiao Chong lay lazily on the ground, recalling a certain saying.
"The reason you live in comfort is because someone is carrying the burden for you."
The concept of the extraterrestrial demons was still too distant for these people in front of him, and telling them would be of no use.
Hearing Xiao Chong's words, Yun Yun couldn't show a somewhat bitter smile.
However, she was not an unreasonable person and did not continue to press for answers.
It was just unknown what kind of uproar the entire Northwest Continent would have when the news of the crisis that appeared after repelling the invasion of the Chu Yun Empire spread.
As for that scene, Xiao Chong naturally paid no attention.
Seeing the people around him harbor no hostility, Xiao Chong breathed a sigh of relief and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Because, after the explosion in that space, Xiao Chong could feel a strange and strange energy flying into his body, as if it wanted to tell him something in his sleep.
As for the strength of the people around him, even if they harbored ill intentions towards him, they probably couldn't break through his physical defenses while he was asleep, so there was no need to worry.
Seeing Xiao Chong fall asleep, Yun Yun stepped forward on behalf of everyone to check Xiao Chong's physical condition.
Although he had just withstood a self-destruction, because Xiao Chong had previously consumed the Spirit Nourishing Fruit, there weren't many wounds on his body, which was a relief.
Yun Yun felt Xiao Chong's pulse and checked him over, saying, "It's fine. Xiao Chong just consumed a lot of his dou qi and needs to rest now."
"That's good."
After all everyone present owed Xiao Chong a favor, and seeing him safe, everyone naturally relaxed.
Next, it was just a matter of taking Xiao Chong back to rest.
Meanwhile, in Xiao Chong's mind, because he had temporarily fallen into sleep, in the world of dreams, an old but powerful voice gradually entered Xiao Chong's consciousness.
"Fated one... You actually had the chance to enter that space, so with your strength, you should know who I am."
"This is a strand of consciousness I left behind, triggered only when that space shattered."
"The demon sealed underground, it's not that I didn't have the ability to destroy it, but at that time, more of my power was spent shielding the Dou Qi Continent from the perception of the Great Thousand Worlds, preventing more extraterrestrial demons from noticing this place."
"And the shattering of that space should also mean that the demon has now been released. What I left here is only a strand of my consciousness, and I don't know whether I'll be useful by then, or if someone successfully destroyed that demon..."
"Fated one, if you are from the Dou Qi Continent, then accept this gift."
A gift?
Xiao Chong was stunned and the next second, a strange stream of energy seemed to pour into Xiao Chong's body...
Although it was just a wisp of energy, Xiao Chong could sense that the quality of this energy was exceptionally high, almost completely surpassing any form of Dou Qi found on the Dou Qi Continent.
He could almost feel that when this energy appeared, the surrounding air conveyed a sense of fear.
Only the innate energy within Xiao Chong's own body and the Dou Qi of life and death attributes remained unafraid of this energy.
This Dou Qi seemed to be... the Primordial Origin Qi!
