Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 285 - 274 Ming An’s Confession

Seeing Luo Chen’s indifferent gaze, Ming Tu knew that while forty bottles of Supreme Rank Elixirs might be very precious to himself and others, they probably did not mean much to Luo Chen. As someone vigorously cultivated by the Genesis Divine Nation, how could he ever lack Elixirs? Not to mention forty bottles, even four hundred wouldn’t be considered a lot to Luo Chen.

Now that the two parties had reached an agreement, the following matters were easier to handle. After verifying that there were no issues with the forty bottles of Supreme Rank Elixirs, Ming Tu led the other four and jumped down from the cube formed of condensed Earth Element. When Luo Chen saw the five of them descend, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pressed down at his feet.

The cube, originally ten meters in length and height, began to shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had reduced to a small cube of only a dozen or so centimeters. After weighing the shrunken cube in his hand, Luo Chen put it away and then descended to the ground. At this moment, the remaining three members of the Genesis Divine Nation gathered around.

After explaining the situation to the three of them, although they grieved for their deceased comrade, they also knew that this was not the time to disrupt the grand scheme over personal vendettas. In order for the Genesis Divine Nation to achieve the ultimate victory, they had to bury this hatred deep in their hearts.

Thus, a line of nine people, with Ming Tu’s group in the front and Luo Chen’s group in the back, began heading towards the Netherworld World. As long as everything went smoothly, they believed they would soon encounter the old man Dao Zhun, who was also heading towards the Netherworld World.

Coincidentally, the Myriad Demons Country, located to the direct north in the Patrolling Celestial World, had also encountered a similar situation to Luo Chen’s group—a confrontation with five individuals wearing tattered Armor. After a fierce battle, three from the Myriad Demons Country died while only one of the tattered Armor-clad individuals remained.

Luckily, just as the remaining two from the Myriad Demons Country were nearly killed by the sole survivor due to unfamiliar terrain, the Five Demon Gods of the Myriad Demons Country arrived just in time. Not only did they save the two, but they also managed to capture the remaining individual alive.

The Five Demon Gods of the Myriad Demons Country—Fen Yan, Chu Zhan, Jue Cha, Mo Can, and Han Ling—like Yao Wumeng, were all targets in a sub-plan of a grand scheme of the Myriad Demons Country. However, the shadows created for them had entered the Netherworld World to chase the sole surviving fox spirit of the Heavenly Queen’s lineage, only to meet their end in a battle with the Five Battle Generals of the Netherworld World.

Yao Wumeng’s shadow, though defeated as well, did not die. Instead, he received help from the third part of the grand scheme, not only resurrecting from a near-death state but also inheriting all the power of the third plan, thereby informing the Domain Lord of the Myriad Demons Country, Myriad Demon King Weiyang, through some method. Ultimately, Weiyang personally took action. With immense Divine Skills and the Demon Transcending power of the World Suppressing Stele, he succeeded in resurrecting Yao Wumeng’s shadow and sent him again to the Sand Realm to participate in the Six Kingdoms War.

The detailed circumstances will be recounted later, so let us set them aside for now. Back to the Five Demon Gods, who upon learning that their shadows had been completely annihilated by the Five Battle Generals of the Netherworld World and that the deaths of their shadows had caused some damage to their true selves—though they had since recovered—felt it as a stain of disgrace.

Therefore, apart from seizing first place, the main purpose of the Five Demon Gods participating in the Patrolling Celestial World trial was to utterly annihilate the Five Battle Generals. They knew that the inhabitants of the Netherworld World existed in a state of souls, and if they wished to resurrect with a physical body and leave the Netherworld World, aside from the personal intervention of the various Domain Lords, they could only do so with the permission of the Domain Lord of the Netherworld World, Yue Huangquan.

Furthermore, once resurrected, if those from the Huangquan World died again, they would certainly perish completely, leaving no trace of their existence. This was also why a significant portion of souls preferred to stay in the Netherworld World for eternal life.

When the trial in the Patrolling Celestial World officially began, the Five Demon Gods also followed the orders of Ling Weiyang and began their exploration. Just as they had discovered something, they received a distress signal from another exploration team and immediately rushed to their aid at full speed. However, by the time they arrived, only one person was left from the exploration team of five.

At that moment, Fen Yan looked at the man kneeling on the ground, firmly bound by Han Ling’s White Silk Ribbon, and his brain worked quickly. Like Luo Chen, Fen Yan was astute, and did not simply attack out of spite for the man killing his comrades. Instead, he had Han Ling subdue him. Discovering the presence of humans in the Patrolling Celestial World was unexpected, and they did not appear to be from other forces. So Fen Yan, very intrigued, was interested.

"What’s your name? Who are you? Explain everything you know and can say; otherwise, I will kill you!" Fen Yan pondered for a moment before he addressed the man with these questions. After Fen Yan finished speaking, Mo Can suddenly stepped forward, his writing brush rapidly sketching in the void. Shortly, two ferocious beasts with snarling fangs appeared out of thin air, one to the left and one to the right of the man. It was clear that if the man said anything unsatisfactory to Fen Yan, those beasts would not hesitate to tear him apart and devour him.

"My name is Ming An. I am the squad leader of the fourth squad of the third legion of the Underworld God Army. The reason we attacked you was to seize your equipment and elixirs and then to absorb the spiritual power from your bodies. We were unlocked and imprisoned by someone called the Punisher with this kind of iron chain. If we don’t absorb a tremendous amount of energy every day, the iron lock above us will completely drain us into dry corpses!"

As he spoke, Ming An raised a delicate small lock that was at his chest.

Fen Yan leaned slightly forward and looked carefully, indeed noticing that the small lock was constantly absorbing spiritual power from the man’s body. "What is the Underworld God Army? Why have I never heard of it? And, if I don’t kill you, what kind of help or benefits can you offer us?"

"The Underworld God Army is Lord Underworld Venerate’s army. In the ancient great war, Lord Underworld Venerate was defeated, so we were all captured and imprisoned on a certain planet. After a long time, all of us were locked up by a powerful and terrifying person who claimed to be the Punisher and then were thrown into this world, supposedly as a way for us to atone for our sins! Initially, there were about fifty thousand of us miserable beings in this world, but now the exact number is unknown. After all, although we are at the top of the food chain here, because of these shackles, we can only continuously hunt ferocious beasts and absorb energy. So, after such a long time, I genuinely don’t know how many are left!"

This person named Ming An, unlike the Ming Tu that Luo Chen encountered, spewed out everything he knew upon being questioned.

"The ancient great war? Are you referring to the ultimate battle?"

"The ultimate battle? I don’t know how later generations referred to that war, but it was the one where the Pioneer of this universe fell—the war that involved all the powerful beings in the entire universe!"

Fen Yan nodded. Although there were different names for that war, Fen Yan knew that it referred to the same conflict. However, if what Ming An said was true, then hadn’t this man lived for billions of years? How was that possible? With his supreme rank strength, how could he live for so long? And Lord Underworld Venerate? Who was that? Why had he never heard of it?

"Jue Cha, see if he’s lying!" Although Fen Yan felt that it was unlikely for him to lie under these circumstances, it was still possible. Jue Cha cultivated a very powerful mental secret technique, one of which allowed one’s spiritual power to invade someone else’s brain and read their memories. This method had a drawback: the memories obtained were not complete. However, it caused no harm whatsoever to either the practitioner or the recipient.

"Boss, what he’s saying is true. Although I only saw fragments, they are almost identical to his words. Moreover, most of this person’s memories are complete fanatical devotion to someone named Underworld Venerate. The rest are all various scenes of brutal battles!"

Fen Yan lightly nodded and continued to question Ming An, "Who exactly is Underworld Venerate?"

Ming An, who had seemed listless until then, suddenly lifted his head upon hearing Fen Yan utter the name Underworld Venerate, his eyes filled with anger as if his faith had been desecrated. He roared with seemingly all his might, "You may not call Lord Underworld Venerate by name, you may not call Lord Underworld Venerate by name! If you dare to do so again, I will perish together with you. Surely, you don’t want to discover the explosive power of the lock that absorbed my billions of years of spiritual energy!"
