Chapter 313: A Strange Phenomenon Appears in Heaven and Earth!
The Demon Woods were in chaos.
News spread like wildfire: a battle so intense it seemed to shake the heavens and earth had startled countless people.
This information rapidly circulated across the continent.
“The Divine Demonic Sect still exists in the world!”
“The Divine Demonic Sect has descendants! Is this true or false?”
Upon hearing the news, powerful cultivators across the land were shocked. For a time, the blood-soaked land once tied to the Divine Demonic Sect became restless. Powerful presences descended one after another, and many came to search for traces of the ancient sect.
In a small cave, Su Yi immersed himself entirely in cultivation, letting go of everything else. He forgot about Cang Lan City, the Divine Demonic Sect, Barbarian City, and even the injuries on his grandfather’s body. His sole focus was on mastering the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse.
A faint demonic energy filled the air around him. With each breath, waves of energy flowed through Su Yi’s mouth and nose, creating a unique rhythm.
This energy carried a monstrous aura, yet it was not inherently evil. Instead, it exuded an invisible pressure that gradually enveloped him.
Finally, the energy condensed around Su Yi, forming dragon-like patterns across his body.
“Very strange—especially strange!”
Far away, atop a towering mountain peak near Su Yi’s secluded cave, two figures silently appeared. They were the Demon Emperor Chi Qin and an old man clad in a yellow robe.
The old man, who was also clearly a Demon Emperor, stared intently at the cave. His gaze seemed to pierce through its walls, and his eyes trembled as he spoke.
“This boy is human, but the aura emanating from his body seems to carry a connection to our Demon Clan!”
Chi Qin nodded slightly, his expression calm but thoughtful.
“From what I know, the Divine Demonic Sect had some ties to our Demon Clan when it originally rose to power. This boy might truly be the new leader of the Divine Demonic Sect.”
The old man in the yellow robe frowned.
“Many people are searching for the Divine Demonic Sect. Even powerful human cultivators have arrived. I didn’t expect things to escalate so quickly!”
“We’ve been careful to ensure no one suspects Cang Lan City’s involvement for the time being,” Chi Qin replied with a slight smirk.
The old man smiled knowingly, recognizing his companion’s cunning. Despite the Divine Demonic Sect disciples being hidden in Cang Lan City, Chi Qin had deliberately exposed himself elsewhere to deflect suspicion.
Returning his gaze to the cave, the old man’s expression grew contemplative.
“I heard that Chi Zu has gone into seclusion again. Is he preparing for another breakthrough?”
“He should be.”
Chi Qin nodded but frowned slightly. “Still, he can’t compare to this boy. This kid is too mysterious—I can’t see through him.”
Suddenly, Chi Qin’s voice was interrupted by a thunderous roar that echoed through the heavens and earth.
“Boom!”
The sky trembled, and a powerful fluctuation rippled through the atmosphere.
“What’s happening?”
The old man in the yellow robe was caught off guard as the oppressive energy surged around them. It carried an ancient aura, bearing immense pressure as it converged toward the cave.
Chi Qin’s eyes narrowed, locking onto the cave. His gaze deepened as the oppressive energy condensed further and surged inside.
Within the cave, the source of this disturbance was none other than the young man in seclusion—Su Yi.
“As expected, it’s that boy causing this.” Chi Qin’s voice held a hint of surprise.
“How is that possible? He’s only at the first grade of the Yuan Spirit Realm! How could he cause such a phenomenon?”
The old man in the yellow robe was incredulous. A mere boy at the first grade of the Yuan Spirit Realm should not have the capacity to create such a commotion.
“Roar…”
Before the yellow-robed old man could fully voice his disbelief, the heavens responded. Dark clouds began to gather, swirling ominously.
The energy between heaven and earth grew increasingly intense, while thick demonic Qi surged through the atmosphere. It was as though an ancient power hidden within the land had awakened, converging in Su Yi’s direction.
The thick black clouds gathered, growing denser by the moment, as lightning crisscrossed the sky. Thunder roared, its deafening boom resonating across the heavens and earth.
This sudden change immediately drew the attention of the entire Cang Lan City.
Many demon beasts emerged from their dwellings, their fierce eyes gazing toward the void from which a terrifying, oppressive aura emanated. The feeling of trembling and unease filled the air.
Weaker demon beasts collapsed, crushed by the overwhelming pressure, crawling on the ground in submission.
The earth trembled violently, mountains and rivers quaked, and massive waves surged into the sky. A terrible, otherworldly aura descended, covering the entirety of Cang Lan City.
Within and beyond the city, countless demon beasts were overwhelmed, their hearts gripped by an inexplicable fear.
“Ouch…!”
Suddenly, eight beasts appeared, roaring as they rushed toward the small mountain cave where Su Yi was meditating.
Among them were the Golden Python, Fire-Eyes Beast Tiger, Da Bao, Xiao Ling, and several others.
For reasons unknown, these eight beasts seemed unaffected by the oppressive pressure that crushed other creatures.
They positioned themselves in front of Su Yi’s cave, standing guard, as though compelled by an unspoken duty to protect him.
“This is no ordinary event—this is an anomaly, a heavenly and earthly anomaly!”
On the mountaintop overlooking the scene, the old man in the yellow robe stared in shock. What he witnessed wasn’t just a commotion but an omen from Heaven and Earth itself.
The earth quaked, the skies seemed to collapse, mountains shook, and thunder and lightning raged—a phenomenon of cosmic significance!
“Unusual phenomena arise in Heaven and Earth—something extraordinary must be happening!”
Even Chi Qin’s gaze began to waver. His eyes glinted with a mixture of astonishment and disbelief as his expression hardened into one of shock.
“With that boy’s strength, even if he’s breaking through, there’s no way he could cause such a disturbance—let alone create a phenomenon of this magnitude!”
The old man in the yellow robe shook his head, stunned. He hesitated before murmuring, “Could it be… that boy has cultivated a Heavenly Grade Martial Art Technique?”
Rumors persisted that the birth of a Heavenly Grade Martial Art Technique would always be accompanied by strange phenomena—earthquakes, thunder, and lightning. It was a rare and legendary occurrence, one spoken of with reverence.
“It’s unlikely,” Chi Qin said with certainty. “Even the most talented cultivator in the Yuan Spirit Realm cannot cultivate a Heavenly Grade Martial Art Technique. It’s simply impossible, no matter their skill or talent.”
Yet, despite his conviction, Chi Qin’s thoughts betrayed him. His surprise lingered, and he sank into deep contemplation. Suddenly, his eyes glinted with realization.
“Unless… this boy has mastered the legendary Heavenly Grade Martial Skill!”
The old man in the yellow robe flinched, his shock evident. Even as a demon, he understood the gravity of such a revelation.
“A Heavenly Grade Martial Skill…” he muttered. The very words carried weight. Among human martial artists, its appearance was akin to a miracle.
Rumor had it that when a Heavenly Grade Martial Skill manifested, mountains would collapse, the earth would split, and the skies would erupt with thunder and lightning.
“But that boy has already reached the Demonic Spirit Realm!” the old man protested, his voice tinged with disbelief. “How could he have just now completed a Heavenly Grade Martial Skill?”
He paused, then added with suspicion, “Could it be that he abandoned his previous cultivation technique and started over from scratch?”
Chi Qin’s eyes narrowed. “If he did that, it’s even more remarkable.”
He continued, his tone heavy with a mix of admiration and forewarning. “To give up a cultivation method and start again from the beginning requires extraordinary perseverance and willpower. If this young human possesses such determination and succeeds… once he grows, he will become an unimaginable threat!”
