Chapter 122: Shattering the Phantom with a Single Punch

Whew...

Hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, Zhang Yuhe let out a soft sigh of relief.

He really had been given quite a scare just now.

He had thought this phantom was a mighty figure who had descended from the Upper Realm.

As it turned out, it was merely an image from a video call.

"Damn it, I actually chickened out just now. How damn embarrassing."

Zhang Yuhe suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of awkwardness.

He still lacked experience.

To think he was actually bluffed by this phantom just moments ago.

Seeing Zhang Yuhe and Feng Xiaotian enter the main hall, the phantom on the array platform

swept a sharp gaze across the two of them and then asked indifferently,

"Are you Cultivators from Yu Fantian?"

Zhang Yuhe glanced at Feng Xiaotian, and the two of them remained silently unresponsive.

They simply ignored it.

Although the mighty figures of the Upper Realm were powerful, they could not descend anyway, so what was there to fear?

Seeing that they did not reply, the phantom seemed to have gained some angry.

It spoke in a stern tone,

"The Cangyun Realm is a subordinate realm of the Demon God Palace. Withdraw from this realm immediately, and I can let bygones be bygones."

"If you refuse, once my true body descends, I will surely grind you into powder."

Zhang Yuhe's face was expressionless as he quietly watched the phantom put on airs.

At this moment, he was carefully sizing up the array platform located in the center of the main hall.

The Dao Saint Sect also possessed a communication array that spanned across the Immortal Realm and mortal realm, but he had never seen one before.

Looking at the profound array patterns on the array platform, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.

His mind spun rapidly as he deduced the principles and structural concepts of these array patterns.

Soon, he understood the general workings of this array platform.

Not only could this array platform be used for communication, but it should also serve as a special coordinate.

Through this coordinate, people from the Upper Realm could accurately descend into this realm.

Without this coordinate, attempting a forced descent would inevitably result in getting lost within the endless the void.

The phantom asked questions repeatedly, but Zhang Yuhe paid it no heed, and Feng Xiaotian beside him ignored it even more.

Ning Hefeng, who was standing behind the phantom, couldn't help becoming somewhat anxious.

He loudly shouted and provoked the two of them,

"Impudent! Upon seeing a true demon from the Upper Realm, why do you not kneel and pay respects?"

"Pay respects my foot."

Hearing these words, Zhang Yuhe became furious.

Such a lackey borrowing the tiger's might.

He swiftly threw a punch, the fist projection shining with nine-colored light, directly blasting Ning Hefeng into smithereens.

Immediately following that, he threw another punch.

With a single punch, he smashed the array platform in the center of the main hall to pieces.

The demon god phantom that was originally standing on top of the array platform instantly vanished with an expression of fury.

Without this array platform, the Demon God Palace of the Upper Realm would never be able to send anyone into this realm again.

He withdrew his fist and turned back to ask Feng Xiaotian,

"Was that phantom just now a demon god from the Upper Realm?"

Feng Xiaotian replied uncertainly,

"It should be."

Although Zhang Yuhe already had his own judgment in mind, he still asked somewhat uneasily,

"We've offended a demon god from the Upper Realm; there won't be any trouble in the future, right?"

Feng Xiaotian smiled and said,

"Senior Brother need not worry. The Immortal Realm is boundless and vast. Even if Senior Brother ascends to the Immortal Realm in the future, the chance of running into this person is infinitely close to zero. There's no need to worry about him coming to look for trouble."

"Furthermore, our Dao Saint Sect should also possess quite a formidable influence in the Immortal Realm. There is completely no need to worry about the retaliation of the Demon Race."

"That's good then."

Hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, Zhang Yuhe gently nodded.

That was what he had been thinking as well.

Relying on just a phantom to try and bluff the two of them was truly looking down on them a bit too much.

Fortunately, however, the Dao Saint Sect was also an orthodox lineage passed down by an Immortal.

They were not completely ignorant of matters concerning the Immortal Realm.

Otherwise,

they really might have been completely bluffed by this pretentious phantom.

If they had truly been bluffed, wouldn't the resources of this realm be a terrible waste?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhe said to Feng Xiaotian,

"Sect Master, let's split up and see what good things are actually inside this Demon God Palace."

"Alright."

After saying that, the two of them quickly separated and began searching this massive Demon God Palace.

Zhang Yuhe swept past one grand hall after another, quickly arriving at the treasury of the Demon God Palace.

With a single punch, he blasted open the doors of the treasury.

All kinds of rare items came into view.

Demon crystals inside the treasury were piled up like mountains, and a large number of demonic artifacts were placed on various racks.

Among them, there was no lack of High-Grade demonic artifacts.

However, what he cared about the most were still the various rare materials.

A massive amount of materials were categorized and placed within the treasury.

Among them, there were over a thousand portions of rank-9 spirit materials alone. As for spirit materials below the ninth rank, they were even more numerous like hairs on an ox.

There were even many materials whose names he couldn't call out at all.

After all, this was the Demon Realm, so there would naturally be some unique materials native to this realm.

It was completely normal that he couldn't recognize them for a moment.

Zhang Yuhe did not carefully identify them.

With a wave of his large hand, he swept all the items in the treasury into his storage bracelet.

Stepping out of the treasury, Zhang Yuhe quickly searched the grand halls one by one.

The Demon God Palace had a Inheritance spanning millions of years, making it even older than the Dao Saint Sect of Yu Fantian.

Good things definitely wouldn't be lacking.

He certainly didn't want to miss out on some important items due to a momentary oversight.

Flying out from a grand hall, Zhang Yuhe suddenly halted his figure.

A tall and majestic peak appeared before his eyes.

Rather than calling the Demon God Palace a palace, it was more like a magnificent giant city.

The area occupied by the entire palace was not much smaller than the mountain gate of the Dao Saint Sect.

Within the palace, many tall peaks similarly stood tall.

However, he always felt that the peak in front of him was a bit strange.

Zhang Yuhe circulated his Divine Sense, sweeping it around the peak, but he didn't discover any abnormalities.

He waved his right hand.

A sharp sword gleam swiftly slashed toward the peak before him.

Rumble...

The sword gleam slashed across the peak, producing a heaven-shaking loud roar.

Dust and smoke filled the sky, rising up the middle of the mountain.

However, once the dust and smoke dissipated, the peak in front of him remained completely safe and sound.

Aside from a huge gap slashed out by the sword gleam on the mountainside,

the peak did not collapse.

"There is something bizarre about this peak."

Zhang Yuhe flew rapidly toward the peak.

With his current strength, splitting a mountain with a single sword strike was simply child's play.

Under his sword strike, this peak actually stood tall without falling; it would be strange if there were no problem here.

Zhang Yuhe stood in the airspace above the peak.

He rapidly formed incantation gestures, and a massive amount of sword gleams instantly surged out.

As the sword gleams danced about, the rubble and dust within the peak were quickly cut apart.

A black pillar, resembling a pillar supporting the heavens, stood tall before his eyes.

This black pillar had originally been completely wrapped by the peak; it wasn't until he cut all the mountain rocks to pieces that its true appearance was revealed.

"Holy shit, what kind of treasure is this?"

Seeing the black pillar before him, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help becoming interested.

Given his current net worth, ordinary treasures simply couldn't enter his Dharma Eye.

However, the black pillar before him was obviously very extraordinary.

His Divine Sense had swept across it earlier without discovering anything at all; any item capable of deceiving his Divine Sense

was definitely not simple.

Zhang Yuhe felt that this pillar should be a great treasure.
