Chapter 494 - 418: About the Outer Celestial Demon, the Shattered Altar
The thoughts in Lu Yuan’s mind were simple.
They also appeared abruptly.
Equivalent to a sixth sense.
Namely,
The sudden disappearance of the two major forces and the Domain Lord level individuals fleeing to the Cosmic Edge Wilderness.
Were very likely to be greatly related to the Outer Celestial Demon.
This was what was on his mind.
As for why,
Even Lu Yuan himself was not very clear, but intuition felt so.
Meanwhile, beside him, Jiang Ningxian and another person saw him not speaking for a long time,
and couldn’t help but frown. They immediately asked, "What is it? Did you think of something?"
Especially Jiang Huanyun, who was very curious about this, because he knew that Domain Lord level beings usually would not casually venture out, not to mention to the Cosmic Edge Wilderness, which seemed even more puzzling to him.
Because there was nothing special about that place, just a piece of chaos; it didn’t seem reasonable.
After hearing these words, Lu Yuan pondered slightly, and then said, "I think things are not simple."
"Perhaps, it has a lot to do with the Outer Celestial Demon, though it’s just a guess."
It’s not strange that he blurted it out, for it was too important.
As long as it involved the Outer Celestial Demon,
it basically wasn’t a small matter.
Perhaps,
it might threaten the entire cosmic starry sky, as such, more people must know of it.
Whether good or bad, it needs to be understood in advance.
What if something goes wrong?
Outer Celestial Demon?
Upon hearing these four words, Jiang Ningxian and the other person were also shocked.
Since they all knew of it from ancient records, before, they didn’t really take it seriously.
But ever since Lu Yuan inquired, the Jiang Family has always paid attention.
Finally, they found out that this was a very scary great enemy.
Even though the information left was limited,
they still found traces, like Jiang Family’s ancestor, that Human Emperor Celestial Emperor, mentioned the Outer Celestial Demon as well.
"Why do you think so?" Jiang Huanyun couldn’t help but ask, with a hint of confusion in his eyes because he felt these two matters didn’t seem closely related, yet he knew that the other party wouldn’t bring it up suddenly.
"I don’t know either, could be some kind of intuition," Lu Yuan shook his head and then added.
"But I still hope that the Jiang Family can investigate what’s going on."
"This is important; no carelessness can be afforded."
Those heroes of the past.
All considered the Outer Celestial Demon as a great enemy.
Even willing to sacrifice their lives to destroy it.
In the Kunlun Secret Realm, the Ancestral Dragon seemed to have led people to battle it.
So, having this premonition, there is no choice but not to ignore it.
"Intuition?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Huanyun’s expression became extremely serious.
Because, the more powerful a person is, their intuition, though not predicting the future, at least represents certain things.
So after a brief thought, he nodded, then spoke again, "I understand, I will definitely give you an accurate reply."
As for Lu Yuan, Jiang Huanyun no longer saw him as a junior.
But put him on the same level as himself.
After all, if it really came down to a fight,
he wouldn’t be the opponent.
"Thank you."
Lu Yuan understood, to verify his own ideas,
he could only have the Jiang Family take action, after all, they belong to one of the top ten forces.
In such a situation, the information they can gather would be more extensive and faster.
Quickly, Jiang Huanyun left, informing the clan about this matter.
So only the two of them remained.
"Outer Celestial Demon, if it were true, what on earth are these two major forces trying to do?" Jiang Ningxian spoke, frowning tightly, feeling that it was very unusual, after all, the implications were significant.
"I don’t know either, but I feel it’s nothing good."
Lu Yuan was also serious; he had always been on guard against the Outer Celestial Demon.
Though there has been no news all along, it also proves,
that such an existence won’t appear for now,
so one can feel slightly reassured.
But now it’s different.
Having developed this intuition, he suddenly felt something big might happen next.
Especially with such matters, and without much preparation himself, it felt even more pressing.
"Could it be that they want to, like the Black Dragon of the Dragon Race, lure out the Outer Celestial Demon?" Suddenly, Jiang Ningxian thought of a possibility and voiced such a guess.
Immediately, she was also shocked by her own idea, as this would mean enticing the enemy to come.
That’s an existence not part of this realm, and various messages also pointed out,
that it had once invaded this world more than once...
As for Lu Yuan,
his expression changed slightly.
If that’s truly the case, then it would be even more troublesome.
"Let’s go, we’ll go to the Dragon Prison together to take a look."
Lu Yuan spoke; he couldn’t just hope for the news from Jiang Family, he needed also to investigate himself.
Fortunately, he knew a few places, the Dragon Prison being the first stop, as it is presently the only place where the power of the Outer Celestial Demon appeared.
Regarding this, Jiang Ningxian naturally had no objections, understanding the urgency of the matter.
The two said no more and left no messages,
immediately departing Mount Tai, went to the Dragon Prison.
Originally,
One needed the help of Yinglong to reach that place; otherwise, it would be quite troublesome.
But Lu Yuan was now a Grotto Heaven Immortal, able to use the Void Power.
Entering the Dragon Prison naturally became simpler.
With the strength of both,
they soon reached the destination. The place was still the same as before, with streaks of strange aura lingering, though the surroundings had not changed, more importantly, nothing was discovered.
It seemed that after the Black Dragon died, it remained this way all along.
"No sign of Outer Celestial Demon’s power."
Lu Yuan shook his head, feeling nothing at all.
He had dealt with such forces before, the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Order was also very sensitive to it, yet there was still no reaction.
"The Black Dragon only received that power, not discovering it is normal." Beside him, Jiang Ningxian thought for a moment, then continued, "Let’s go directly to Kunlun."
In the Kunlun Secret Realm, there exist altars and various information left by the Ancestral Dragon. For them,
perhaps they could obtain more, and more useful, information, so it is worth going.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately nodded; indeed, this was a good idea.
As for the closure of the Secret Realm,
to him,
it was nothing.
As a Grotto Heaven Immortal, he possessed such power in this realm.
What others couldn’t do didn’t mean Lu Yuan was incapable.
Immediately, the two chose to head directly to where the Kunlun Secret Realm was located.
Here,
they once again saw the Netherworld Celestial Palace.
However, unlike before, this place had turned deathly still.
Various chaotic auras intertwined, appearing somewhat chaotic.
And as Lu Yuan approached the Nine-Colored Altar where he obtained the Nine Cauldrons, his expression immediately changed.
In the surroundings of that altar, cracks appeared, and at the center of the cracks, strands of black mist continuously rose upwards. That black mist,
was almost identical to the power emitted from the Black Dragon back then.
