Chapter 1435: Interlayer World

The powerhouses from various states were awe-struck.

When it came to dominance in the Central Realm, if the Young Emperor claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.

Simply because someone cleared a path faster than him, he was going to cause trouble?

What kind of logic was that?

Unlike those from the other states who dared not speak out despite their anger, a few powerhouses from Tianzhou, with grave expressions, retreated behind the others. They knew the Young Emperor's character all too well. He always acted on a whim, never bothered with logic, and often wouldn't stop until he achieved his goal.

Jiang Fan also frowned deeply. His desire to kill him for the Voidflow Thunderforce was still understandable. But now he wanted to act against him for such a minor matter? No wonder that commander had warned him earlier to stay away from the Young Emperor. This guy was both domineering and insane!

Venerable Bingxin calmly shielded everyone and said, "The Grand Libation is present; please be careful with your words and actions."

Venerable Jinlin also stepped forward to face the powerhouses from various states, emanating a vast demonic aura. He said in a deep voice, "Young Emperor, don't act recklessly." Thanks to the support from the outer states, Jiang Fan's Myriad Demon Great State was spared a catastrophe. As the host, how could he just stand by and watch the Young Emperor threaten them?

However, the Young Emperor ignored them. With piercing eyes, he slowly swept his gaze across the powerhouses from all states. Those who were gazed upon all showed faint expressions of pain. It was as if their bodies were being pierced by two sharp blades and slowly cut open, inch by inch. Various hidden powers within them uncontrollably overflowed. God Transformation Venerables were still fine, but those in the Nascent Soul realm, before the Young Emperor, had no secrets within their bodies.

Jiang Fan's pupils constricted. It was hard to say if the Young Emperor could find the Hell Soul Bell, but he would definitely be able to detect the Voidflow Thunderforce within him! Ever since Old Man Tianji sent word through the Young Emperor Mountain people to stop troubling Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan had once thought the Young Emperor would give up. But having personally witnessed the Young Emperor's overbearing nature, he didn't believe the Young Emperor was someone who would listen to advice. If he discovered the Voidflow Thunderforce within him, he would likely strike with lethal intent immediately. Even with Venerable Bingxin and Venerable Jinlin protecting him, he would absolutely not give up!

As his gaze swiftly swept closer, having already reached the Taicang State's team, Jiang Fan's heart sank rapidly. He quickly ran through various countermeasures in his mind. Such as summoning the mark of the Chaos Ancient Blood Marquis, or using Venerable Black Dragon's venom, or intimidating with the Bronze Hell Desolate Beast Vessel. However, the moment these thoughts appeared, they were all extinguished. He wasn't facing a first or even a second stage Celestial-Human Decay. Instead, he was facing a human supreme being capable of dominating an entire great state, a cultivator of the Five Decays of Celestial Beings! Any scheme was like foam before absolute power and could not withstand even a casual strike. The only chance for survival was to transfer the 'luck lock' onto the Soulshadow Demon Lord. He would take a fatal blow for him.

At this moment, Jiang Wuya, standing beside Jiang Fan, let out a muffled groan. The Young Emperor's gaze had swept over him, and the divine halo behind his head began to tremble uncontrollably. His domain silently unfolded, enveloping the surroundings. In a hazy perception, everyone seemed to see a gigantic scale. On one side of the scale was a heart radiating righteous qi, and on the other side were their own hearts. If one's heart was pure, the scale would remain balanced. If one's heart was dark, the scale would tilt, and they would uncontrollably kill themselves.

Even the Young Emperor couldn't help but glance at his domain again and said, "Measuring good and evil, hmph, drawing a circle to imprison oneself!" This kind of domain was only effective against truly evil and wicked people. Against those with a pure heart, it had no effect at all. This meant that if Jiang Wuya's enemies were not truly wicked individuals, his domain would be useless, and he would be at a disadvantage in a fight.

Jiang Wuya retracted his domain and calmly said, "If one can uphold the righteous path of humanity, what's there to regret about confining oneself? Young Emperor, it's not too late to do more good and less evil."

The hearts of the powerhouses from all states trembled. Jiang Wuya dared to lecture the Young Emperor? Given the Young Emperor's capricious nature, he couldn't even tolerate someone clearing out the hell creatures faster than him. Let alone criticizing him? Venerable Bingxin and Venerable Jinlin's expressions tightened; from what they knew of the Young Emperor, he was probably about to unleash killing intent.

However, to their surprise, the Young Emperor merely chuckled, "It's not your place to comment on my actions." Then, to everyone's astonishment, he shifted his gaze from Jiang Wuya and swept it towards Jiang Fan standing beside him.

Jiang Fan's heart felt heavy, and he sighed inwardly. There was no way; he was about to be exposed. He could only fight to the death.

Just as the Young Emperor's gaze was about to penetrate Jiang Fan's body, a far more powerful wave of rules suddenly radiated out from the thousand-zhang-wide fissure! Wherever it passed, the space seemed like an old person's skin, wrinkling into layers. The space near the opening was even torn open into vast expanses of void. Chaotic spatial energy scattered wildly in all directions from the void. The unprepared crowd was immediately caught by the chaotic spatial energy and slammed in all directions.

Those with better luck were pushed far away, outside the range of spatial destruction. Those with worse luck were caught in the spatial wrinkles, bundled up like dumplings. But, they were just unlucky. And some were utterly cursed! A group of humans and demons were swept by a large surge of chaotic spatial energy and dragged into the fissure! That was the interlayer world! The territory of hell creatures! And there was a terrifying Sage-realm creature inside! The possibility of surviving after falling in was minuscule.

At the edge of the shattered space, Jiang Fan was flung out. He stumbled and nearly fell. He looked around and found himself in a safe zone; an excited expression appeared on his face: "Good heavens, you've finally opened your eyes for once!" According to usual patterns, in such sudden emergencies, danger was always a part of his share. Now that heaven had favored him so much, allowing him to be lucky for once, it felt somewhat unreal to him. Without time to ponder, he steadied himself and immediately used the Cloud Shadow technique to flee.

However, to his utter frustration, just as he was about to run, another wave of rule energy radiated out! Moreover, this rule was directed specifically at Jiang Fan! An invisible hand of rules grabbed him. In the next instant, he vanished from the spot.

Following a violent sensation of the world spinning, Jiang Fan looked around, and his expression couldn't help but darken. The place was dim and lightless, with overwhelming yin energy. In the distance, groups of hell creatures could be vaguely heard roaring as they approached. If not the interlayer world, where else could this be?

"I knew this would happen!" Jiang Fan sighed deeply. Winning the lottery like this, how could it ever be his turn? Sensing the approaching beast tide, he dared not linger. What if there were God Transformation realm hell creatures among them? That would be truly troublesome.

He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, detecting that the yin energy was flowing north. That must be the opening from which the yin energy was flowing out. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt something. A golden leaf slowly floated out from his chest and pointed faintly towards the hell creatures.

Jiang Fan wondered, "Is this the golden leaf Old Man Oblivion gave me? He said his disciple would also come here and asked me to look after her." Looking at the direction the golden leaf was pointing, he was speechless: "That person is also an unlucky fellow, to have been swept into the interlayer world as well."

Sure enough, amidst the thunderous footsteps of the hell creatures, a frantic curse could be faintly heard: "Ah! You damn bastard! You brought me in here too!"

Uh-oh—

Jiang Fan looked at the golden leaf on his chest, and a thought popped into his mind. Could it be that Old Man Oblivion's disciple was randomly teleported by the spatial energy, and because the golden and silver leaves on them resonated with each other, she was dragged in here too?
