Chapter 200: The Treasure That Pacifies the Clan?

Within the rift of the spatial passage,

the purple-armored, gaunt demon was speeding through the void. He was none other than the supreme demon general ruling over the dark forces of the five provinces in the north—the Demon General Yanze!

Ever since the Demon God Wuyunhuo openly declared the threat Dongbo Xueying posed, General Yanze had been determined to kill him. However, Dongbo Xueying, when not concealing his identity, resided within the Snowstone Castle, where ancient arrays had already been set up—arrays capable of holding Yanze captive, if only briefly. And when Dongbo Xueying disguised himself and concealed his aura, it became difficult to track him down.

Over the past dozen years,

he had encountered two instances of “potential Dongbo Xueying” and had personally dispatched his magical avatars to deal with them. He knew each operation carried great risk, for he was acting within the mortal world, and using magical avatars made him vulnerable to exposure.

But he believed it was worth it!

Each time his avatar acted, he immediately relocated the warship. After battle, the avatar would retreat into the spatial rift for half an hour, employing every method possible to minimize the risk of exposure.

“My subordinates, the demons, and the Demon God sect have all studied Dongbo Xueying’s personality extensively. Moreover, three transcendent beings have perished in Anyang Province, leaving only a handful remaining,” General Yanze mused inwardly. “Based on analysis and elimination, there’s at least a thirty percent chance it’s Dongbo Xueying. This prodigy, even stronger than Chi Qiubai, must be eliminated while still weak!”

Boom—

Rushing through the spatial passage, he flew with all his might. Though the distance was great, even through the passage, it would take nearly a breath of time to arrive.

“I hope this time it’s really Dongbo Xueying! The previous two attempts were mistaken, each with a thirty to forty percent certainty. I refuse to believe this third attempt will fail again! If successful, this threat will be eradicated once and for all,” General Yanze muttered to himself. Among the five demon generals, he was the calmest and most cautious.

…

Beside the official road,

the Gui Clan’s knights and wizards hastily retreated, not daring to surround the figure any longer. They all showed deep respect—how could they dare provoke a Title-Level warrior? The fat man and the golden-robed youth were also bowing and flattering profusely.

“Uncle, are you a Title Knight?” the girl exclaimed, tears streaming down her face. She saw hope for vengeance. “Uncle, my parents and little sister were so wronged, I…”

“Wait a moment,” Dongbo Xueying frowned, raising his hand.

The girl was stunned. Had she been too presumptuous? This Title-Level warrior had saved her, and now she was asking him to go even further?

“A powerful aura.”

“A Demi-God?”

Frowning, Dongbo Xueying turned his gaze toward the distant void.

The ‘Gravitational Field’ of the Star Intent had an immense effect on space. Within a hundred-mile radius—above, below, front, back, left, and right—it was all within the gravitational field. This terrifying gravitational field not only had immense power but also greatly influenced space. As his cultivation advanced, the gravitational force would even affect time. Thus, even the faintest spatial ripple was completely sensed by Dongbo Xueying.

“There is a Demi-God-level existence approaching through a spatial passage?” Dongbo Xueying mused.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind,

Rip!

An invisible force tore open the distant void, revealing an ugly spatial rift. From it emerged a small, purple-armored demon exuding terrifying and evil energy!

“General Yanze, one of the Five Demon Generals?” Dongbo Xueying’s expression changed slightly. He immediately reported to the Xinfu Palace, “Yanze has appeared. It should be his magical avatar. He’s here!”

“Xueying, the message has been sent to Changfeng, Chao Qing, and Sikong Yang. They are all on their way!” Palace Master Chen responded swiftly.

“What is that!”

“Heavens!”

“A demon!”

The travelers on the road, including the knights and wizards, the weak girl, and even the fat man, all wore expressions of terror. The fat man was genuinely frightened—he hadn’t expected the arrival of not just a fifth-tier demon’s avatar, but the mighty General Yanze himself!

As Yanze’s magical avatar appeared, his overwhelming magical power was unrestrained, causing the surrounding void to tremble and crack. He gazed down at Dongbo Xueying.

“Dongbo Xueying?” General Yanze’s voice thundered across the sky. “Die!”

“Hm?” Dongbo Xueying was slightly startled.

He had been discovered?

How could he have been found? He had hidden himself quite well.

What he didn’t know was that General Yanze had only a thirty to forty percent certainty. Against any other transcendent being, the demon general wouldn’t have taken such a risk. But against Dongbo Xueying, Yanze believed the risk was worth it!

Boom! Dongbo Xueying immediately shot into the sky, fleeing like lightning. He didn’t want to endanger the mortals below.

“You think you can escape?” General Yanze instantly teleported, appearing near Dongbo Xueying.

“Xueying, don’t act. Leave it to me,” a sudden voice echoed in Dongbo Xueying’s ear.

“What—?”

Dongbo Xueying was surprised.

He wasn’t afraid of General Yanze. Either the Star Intent or the Ultimate Piercing Intent gave him confidence to survive. Even while concealing his true power, with the Gravitational Field’s absolute control over the hundred-mile space around him, he could easily teleport. As his cultivation advanced, even those who hadn’t comprehended space could teleport or tear through the void.

Like Demi-Gods, they all possessed teleportation and void traversal abilities!

Even gods, without comprehending time, could gradually influence it as their power grew.

Dongbo Xueying’s Ultimate Piercing was already overwhelmingly Overbearing.

And his Star Intent was a balanced Intent. The gravitational field’s control over space made Dongbo Xueying’s spatial mastery surpass that of many Demi-Gods! Even in battle, he could easily teleport unless someone sealed the space, which would prevent it. But even then, the Ultimate Piercing could forcefully break through.

Simple teleportation was too ordinary! General Yanze would merely think Dongbo Xueying was slippery and might bring along a fifth-tier demon capable of sealing space next time.

…

But now, Dongbo Xueying no longer needed to hide his strength and flee.

Because help had arrived!

Tear! Yanze’s demonic claws moved so fast they became streams of particles, attacking Dongbo Xueying.

“Demon! How dare you!”

A thunderous roar echoed through heaven and earth!

The grayish hand ring on Dongbo Xueying’s wrist suddenly transformed into surging grayish currents, sweeping across the sky and instantly enveloping General Yanze!

“The family treasure?” Dongbo Xueying was astonished. That grayish hand ring was one of the two protective artifacts given by Palace Master Chen. The other was crafted by the Purple Thunder Emperor. This seemingly ordinary grayish hand ring was actually referred to by Chen as the family treasure.

“A Divine Realm Battle Artifact?” General Yanze’s magical avatar cried out in shock. Inwardly, he cursed, “A transcendent being actually has a Divine Realm Battle Artifact from the Xia Clan protecting him? Even a Demi-God wouldn’t carry such a weapon! It seems Dongbo Xueying is indeed an extraordinary genius highly valued by the Xia Clan, allowing him to carry a Divine Realm Battle Artifact. This time is troublesome. My magical avatar isn’t my true form. Without physical strength, my magic is rapidly depleting!”

The grayish currents completely enveloped the magical avatar, forming a massive grayish sphere about a hundred meters in diameter.

General Yanze struggled.

Each strike he unleashed threatened to shatter the heavens and earth.

His claws pierced through the grayish currents, but the currents immediately reformed to surround him again.

“Roar!”

With a furious roar,

a beam of purple particles instantly pierced through the grayish currents, tearing through space and plunging into the spatial rift. The grayish currents pursued at high speed into the rift.

“A Divine Realm Battle Artifact?” Dongbo Xueying was amazed at the sight.

“Palace Master Chen, the family treasure you gave me—is it a Divine Realm Battle Artifact?” Dongbo Xueying sent a mental message, surprised.

“Haha, I didn’t tell you before because I feared you’d become complacent in your cultivation, relying on it,” Palace Master Chen replied through mental transmission. “Moreover, how could ordinary treasures sense surrounding dangers in advance? Divine Realm Battle Artifacts are all extremely powerful, possessing their own wisdom and unwavering loyalty, constantly sensing any danger around you. Thus, they can perfectly protect you! I wasn’t lying either. The Xia Clan possesses very few Divine Realm Battle Artifacts, each one a family treasure.”

Dongbo Xueying was speechless.

No wonder Palace Master Chen and the others were so confident, having placed a Divine Realm Battle Artifact by his side. These artifacts from the Divine Realm were quite mysterious. Like the one he had encountered during the Transcendent Life and Death battle—their original form was a mere drop of water! Seemingly ordinary, no Demi-God of the Xia Clan could detect its uniqueness unless someone pointed it out.

The one protecting him was no different—a grayish hand ring, equally unassuming.

Boom~~~ At that moment, within the spatial rift, while the Divine Realm Battle Artifact engaged Yanze’s magical avatar, Chi Qiubai and Chao Qing arrived in succession, joining the assault on the avatar of General Yanze.
