Patrol Captain

As for the earth, it had long been torn apart, broken and collapsed, turning into an abyss from which scalding magma leaped!

This vast expanse of land was devoid of life, resembling a scene of world destruction!

Upon seeing this shocking scene, Chen Yuan immediately realized that this was probably the forbidden land of demons known as the City of Sin, located between Yinshan and Xiaocishan.

However, this forbidden area has now been destroyed!

The resulting energy fluctuations caused the earth to tremble and the land to be completely obliterated.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan finally had a concrete understanding of the collapse of the heavens and the cracking of the earth.

It was magnificent, filled with a terrifying atmosphere!
At that moment, he saw the white-robed king step into the air and fly away.

"Why did you take such a dangerous step, senior?" he asked telepathically, his steps quickening as he went.

"Weren't you curious about the interface passage? We're on the outer perimeter, so we can't see anything inside!" the white-robed king replied calmly, stepping into this dangerous territory one step at a time.

Chaotic spatial rifts, streaks of fire falling from the sky, thunderous trees, and massive boulders floating in mid-air.
This person, however, seemed to pass through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal clinging to him, as if strolling leisurely in a garden.

Chen Yuan followed behind this person, which saved him a lot of effort.

The two traversed this desolate land for over a thousand miles. The further they went, the worse the scene became. Spatial gales carried debris, making it dark and almost impossible to see anything. There was a hidden danger within.

Divine light shone from both of them, and they landed firmly on a floating boulder.

They arrived at the "center" of the hole from that day.

Chen Yuan's eyes shone with golden light as he truly realized that the sky had been pierced by such a huge hole, covering thousands of miles. Wouldn't that mean that many demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains had died?

For some reason, he suddenly thought of this.

The white-robed king looked up at the bottomless darkness above and gestured to Chen Yuan.

Look up!

His voice carried a lazy yet slightly playful tone.

Chen Yuan looked up as instructed, staring at the gaping hole in the sky above him, which resembled a black hole that devoured people. His eyes shone with golden light, and apart from the spatial turbulence, it seemed like something... Hmm?
The next second, Chen Yuan's brow crease opened, his third eye darting around. At first, he was surprised and suspicious, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

As his third eye swirled to its fullest extent, pairs of lantern-like orbs of light appeared deep within the celestial abyss above his head. Some were blood red, some were cyan, and some were golden yellow, and so on, but they all carried a strong sense of oppression.

Those were pairs of eyes!

If Chen Yuan wasn't mistaken...

"You saw it?" The white-robed king's voice rang in his ears at just the right moment.

Chen Yuantian's divine light faded slightly as he looked thoughtfully at the white-robed king beside him, who seemed to understand everything.
"What are these eyes?"

"As you are thinking right now, there is a powerful being, almost celestial, who is spying on this place through this passage."

The white-robed king spoke casually, raising one hand and flicking it to the side, aiming at a broken mountain that was crashing towards him.

The mountain seemed to be squeezed by a tremendous force, and it burst open.

The man continued speaking nonchalantly, raising his eyelids slightly, "And they could arrive at any moment."

As if to prove his words, suddenly, a loud "bang" came from the depths of the cave.

Immediately afterwards, the void trembled, and the already extremely unstable and violent space became even more turbulent, with explosions occurring incessantly.

Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly as he looked up at the hole in the sky, while the white-robed king's pupils also looked somewhat strange.

In their sight, they saw something terrifying and direct in the deep darkness, as if it were about to tear through the darkness and descend to the lower realm. Terrifying roars gradually came from within, carrying down across the vast space.

Not long after, from the depths of that cave, the thick, inky darkness suddenly burst forth with light, and a phantom resembling a primordial beast abruptly tore through the darkness, stepping out from the chaos. It had two horns on its head, and its body was neither tiger nor lion, covered with layers upon layers of crimson scales, each scale engraved with patterns, making it exceptionally ferocious.

As it appeared, the raging lightning and fire in the chaos converged like a tide, rushing towards it.

The beast roared with its massive jaws wide open, howling amidst the chaos with extraordinary ferocity and earth-shattering power. The lightning and fire in the celestial abyss intertwined into countless bolts of heavenly thunder, rushing towards it. The beast slammed out its massive claws, tearing through the thick curtain of darkness in front of it with immense force, and also ripping apart the lightning net, unleashing its unparalleled ferocity.

The visuals alone are breathtaking.

The white-robed king narrowed his dark pupils.

"It seems my words are indeed accurate."

"A true demon has arrived."

"He dared to single-handedly tear open this chaotic interface channel; he must be a formidable character."

He said this with a hint of sneer.

Chen Yuan frowned, a bold idea popping into his mind. He suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashing, "Senior, how about we join forces and pull off a heist?"

Now that we've seen this, it wouldn't be right not to cause some damage.

Upon hearing this, the white-robed king was taken aback for a moment, then his lips curled into a smile and he burst into laughter, "It seems I've said all that to you in vain."

"However, that's exactly what I'm thinking. I can't let this kind of guy come down so easily, otherwise things might go wrong when I go to harvest those demons."

He grinned menacingly, and as he spoke, his white clothes were unknowingly stained black, his aura became sinister, and his bloody heart was exposed on his chest, while his black hair danced wildly.

With a flick of his wrist, a blood-red demonic blade appeared in the king's hand. Then, with boundless domineering aura and arrogance, he slashed down at the chaos in the sky.

There was no dazzling light, no overwhelming pressure, only a bloodstain appearing silently in the void, shooting swiftly across space and slashing into the depths.

At the same time, Chen Yuan, standing beside him, raised his hand and activated the Divine Power of Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations. The celestial phenomena changed instantly, and the shattered stars and fire in the sky all changed direction, crashing towards the primordial beast that was about to burst out of the chaos.

With their intervention, this already chaotic and devastated land came to a complete standstill.

Their actions are like triggering a chemical reaction, exacerbating the instability of this interface channel and making the obstruction even stronger.

From the depths of chaos came an even sharper roar from the giant beast, as if it sensed someone trying to stop it and roared angrily.

Chen Yuan and the white-robed king ignored them, their hands moving without pause as they unleashed their supernatural powers.

Before long, the giant beast in the depths of chaos seemed unable to withstand the force. Its phantom, separated by the power of the interface, was shattered by lightning and fire. It let out a roar of resentment and disappeared into the depths of chaos.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan and his companion stopped.

Something fell down!

Chen Yuan, with his sharp eyes, saw a dazzling, blood-red light fly out from the chaos. He immediately took action, conjuring a large hand in the air and grabbing the light as it flew towards him.

When the object in the shimmering light appeared, he realized it was a scale!
It was a square foot in size, and its color was fiery red, like glass. Lava was rolling inside, extremely intense, just like a sun, quite extraordinary.

"These must be scales dropped by that powerful true demon. Having withstood the ravages of thunder and fire, they can be considered a treasure." The white-robed king's demeanor was completely different from the previous celestial being; his aura was now sinister and chilling.
"You should know that true demons, or beings like celestial beings, are treasures all over their bodies. Even a drop of their blood is a supreme treasure to mortal warriors."

"It's a pity you didn't kill that Celestial Being before. Otherwise, you could have obtained the Celestial Being's Dao Fruit, saving you many years of hard work. If I had obtained it, I might have been able to break through the void and return to Baiyujing."

Hearing this word appear again, Chen Yuan realized that the king had a deep obsession with returning. He straightened his expression and asked, "Senior, does Baiyujing refer to the Outer Heavens, or some other place?"

"Didn't I tell you that?"

"No."

"Perhaps I've forgotten." At this moment, the white-robed king's clothes had returned to white, and his tone was much more normal.
"In fact, Baiyujing is the gathering place of celestial beings in the upper realm, just like Youmen Pass. It occupies a place. After all, there are various races in the upper realm. After human cultivators broke through the void, they banded together for warmth, and this place became a vast and boundless place."

"It's not that mysterious."

Chen Yuan suddenly realized that it really was the legendary abode of celestial beings.

He was curious about the unknown, but didn't ask any questions. He looked at his senior with a somewhat forlorn expression.

"If the opportunity arises in the future and you obtain the Heavenly Dao Fruit, I, Chen, will assist you in ascending again."

He offered the king a promise, or rather, he became more serious and made a connection with the king, though he had not yet asked for his name.

"May I ask your name, senior?"

"Back when I was still a celestial being, my disciples called me the Nine Heavens Tribulation-Responding Divine Might Xuan Chi Zhen Wu, and you can just call me Luo Cheng."

Chen Yuan's gaze froze slightly, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to the situation. He hadn't expected this senior to have such a comedic talent.

He flicked the strange scales in front of him to the side.
"Senior Luo, please accept this!"

The white-robed monarch simply waved his hand.

"You said you would help me obtain the Heavenly Dao Fruit, so I can accept it. You are a general, and this item, combined with some rare and precious metals in the world, can be used to forge a suit of armor. It might save your life in a critical moment. Judging from the True Demon's demeanor, he is a formidable character even in the Outer Heavens. The things that fell from his body are not easy to obtain."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan felt that what the other person said made sense; he did indeed lack a decent suit of armor.

This was essentially free scales. He flicked a wisp of primordial golden energy from his fingertip, which struck the scales, producing a clanging sound. Upon closer inspection, only a white mark remained on the scales.

Indeed, it's excellent, of exceptional quality, capable of forging a suit of armor that perfectly suits oneself.

If one could forge a set of precious armor, and then combine it with the Six-Colored Divine Tree, along with one's own indestructible body, achieving dual resistance in both physical body and supernatural abilities, with maximum defensive value, it would indeed be a promising prospect.

Without any hesitation, he simply pulled up his sleeve and disappeared into it.

"Thank you, senior. We are just strangers who met by chance. Your generosity has been kind to me many times, and I will surely repay you in the future." Chen Yuan turned to the side, rolled up his sleeves, and bowed. There were still some things he needed to say.

The white-robed king's dark eyes remained calm. "It's like my bet!"

"It's partly because of the karmic connections we made in our past lives."

After saying that, he changed the subject, "Now that things are settled here, you have a pretty good understanding of the situation. However, I've heard from outside sources that the court doesn't value you as a general and is actually suppressing you. What are your plans?"

The white-robed monarch spoke with a hint of mockery, not directed at Chen Yuan, but at the Great Qian Dynasty, which he disliked and deeply loathed.

Chen Yuan remained calm, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

“In the past, Chen had a family to support and always had to consider the future of his soldiers, which made him hesitant and constrained. Before he became strong enough, he had to swallow his pride and bear some things.”

"Now that the sky has been pierced, how can I, Chen, still care about the imperial court?" Chen Yuan looked up at the hole in the sky, his tone intriguing.

"Of course, we should repay kindness with kindness and grievances with grievances."

Upon hearing this, the white-robed king laughed, flicked his sleeves, and turned around.

"I'll just be a spectator."

"However, my previous warning was not an exaggeration. If we prepare our contingency plans in advance, no one can stop the people in the heavens."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior!" A glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

The next day.

Chengdu, bathed in sunshine, is a vibrant city after the Spring Equinox, with new branches sprouting and the city filled with greenery and life.

At noon, at the summit of Yunding Peak,

The Heavenly Palace.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

A series of dull thuds echoed on the floor.

It was accompanied by a muffled groan and heavy breathing.

A figure suddenly appeared in the plaza in front of the Heavenly Patrol Hall, and then, with one step, appeared on the steps leading into the hall in the next second.

The guards watching the main hall had changed; they were no longer the soldiers of the Governor's Office. They were wary of the newcomers' sudden appearance and drew their swords, shouting orders.

When the newcomer's pale golden eyes swept over them, they felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their bodies, and they knelt down with a thud, horrified.

"Yes"

The guard finally saw the newcomer's face clearly. His face turned pale instantly, his voice trembled, but he could not utter a sound. He could only gasp for breath and lower his head.

"boom"

The main hall doors opened, and voices inside shouted and reprimanded those making noise outside.

Suddenly, he bumped into the person, his pupils widened immediately, and he wanted to speak, but when he met those eyes, he was so frightened that he trembled and silently stepped back without saying a word.

The visitor entered the main hall, where civil and military officials in their official robes were present. Many of the faces were familiar, and they seemed to be discussing something.

The old man sitting at the head of the table frowned, his eyes shining brightly as he looked towards the entrance of the main hall!
Look at that tall figure stepping into the main hall!

In that instant, the previously noisy hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All that could be seen were pairs of constricted pupils and faces with unnatural expressions.

Everyone turned to look at the newcomer, not daring to utter a sound.

This person who successfully defied the heavens disappeared for a few days and then reappeared.

"Helian Shan, you rolled down here on your own."

"I will take you down myself."

Chen Yuan walked into the main hall, looked at Helian Shan, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty, who was sitting at the head of the table directly opposite him, and spoke.

Helian Shan, who had been sitting in his chair, his expression shifting several times, and was about to speak, suddenly turned grim. (End of Chapter)
