Chapter 294: One In a Billion, The Tribulation for Ascension

The wind was blowing while the clouds fluttered through the sky.

The crack in the sky was gone, and the sun had returned.

Jiang Ming lifted his head and looked toward the Great Demon Venerate, who was walking toward him.

In the end, the Great Demon Venerate stopped at about 10,000 meters away from him.

At this distance, the one who made the first move would be the winner.

“Brother Jiang!” The Great Demon Venerate greeted Jiang Ming with his hands on his back. Even though he had concealed his presence, people still felt a chill down his spines around him.

They all felt like they were staring at the abyss itself, and the darkness that followed behind him seemed to house an ancient monster that would pounce at its prey at any moment.

“As a man, how can you do that to a woman?” The Great Demon Venerate said, his voice low and deep, “You’ll leave a bad impression on other people.”

“There is no man or woman when it comes to cultivation,” Jiang Ming smiled, “If I treat her like a woman, I might be dead right now. The fact that she could reach the Demon Venerate Realm shows that there are many lives in her hands. Right now, all of you even extend your evil hands into my world, causing havoc and taking many lives, and you still want me to treat her nicely?

For me, all demons are the same. You all are the source of all turmoil in this world. You’re greedy and bloodthirsty, and all of you’re evil to the core.”

“You’re so narrow-minded!” The Great Demon Venerate said,

“The strong preys on the weak. This is what we demons believe, and we wish for nothing but freedom.”

“Nonsense!” Jiang Ming interrupted.

An argument like this was meaningless.

Both of them had their own points and beliefs, and neither of them could convince the other person.

“You want to get revenge?” Jiang Ming asked.

“You’ve killed too many of my Demon Venerates, as the Great Demon Venerate, I have to do something about it!” A sword appeared in the Great Demon Venerate’s hand. “I’ll let you strike first. If not, people might say I’m taking advantage of you!”

“The Heavenly Court is the one that leads the universe, and the Heavenly Emperor is the one who leads the Heavenly Court. He just complimented me for taking Kun Peng down, but you guys ignored the order of the Heavenly Emperor and disturbed me again and again. It seems to me that you’re going to rebel against the Heavenly Court and make everyone in this universe your enemy. As expected of the demon. You guys are bold!” Jiang Ming said before looking toward Riyue Changfeng. “Brother, do you have anything in possession that can kill him?”

“Well, I can only say yes and no,” Riyue Changfeng replied.

“What do you mean?” Jiang Ming asked.

“No means I don’t have a weapon that can kill him in one strike. Yes means I have something that can kill him. For example, the venom of the black scorpion is potent enough to take his life, and the Mixed Bane is a type of poison that can erase a demon of its existence. However, both of these will only take effect when they’re in the demon’s body, and it’s very hard to do that.”

“Isn’t that bullsh*t?” Jiang Ming was speechless. At the same time, he felt shocked as well.

He found it hard to believe that there was a poison that could take a Demi-Sage expert.

Riyue Changfeng chuckled, while the Great Demon Venerate frowned.

Black Scorpion? Mixed Bane?

Although he had never heard of them before, he reckoned that they were items from the Chaos.

“Are you not coming at me, Jiang Ming?” The Great Demon Venerate turned his eyes around and looked at the Tianyuan Realm.

Apparently, he was telling Jiang Ming that if he refused to make the first move, he would destroy the Tianyuan Realm.

It seemed to Jiang Ming that he had to show the Great Demon Venerate something today.

“Hmph!” He harrumphed as his face sank. He waved his arms, and a river of Dao Vessels appeared before him. There were 108 Taiyi Weapons, six Great Overarching Dao Vessels, and a Quasi-Sage Weapon.

All of them gave off a brilliant light and they got into their positions respectively, forming into a formation.

“This is!” The Great Demon Venerate was so shocked that he was tongue-tied.

“What’s with that face? Aren’t you the one who asked me to come at you?” Jiang Ming laughed, “After all, the Abyss is a force that can fight toe to toe with the Heavenly Court. Before you show up, you’ve sent two Demon Venerates and the Great Demon Concubine at us, so I think it’s only right for me to retaliate with an attack of equal power, right?”

The Great Demon Venerate did not know what to say. He looked at Jiang Ming intently and the river of Dao Vessels in front of him.

The corner of his lips quivered.

‘D*mn it!’ He cursed inwardly. If he denoted all of the Dao Vessels at the same time, the Great Demon Venerate was confident that not even he was able to survive the blow. Once he was gravely injured, there was a possibility that the Heavenly Emperor would come out and kill him right away.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor did not take advantage of the situation, what about the Buddha Lord or the Dragon Lord?

For them, weakness was a sin, and those who were weak shouldn’t even exist in this universe.

Besides, he was certain that Jiang Ming still had other tricks up his sleeves. If he pushed him into a desperate situation, there was no guarantee what he would do in retaliation.

After careful consideration, the Great Demon Venerate looked toward Riyue Changfeng.

He could sense that he was powerful, a lot more powerful than the Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, there was no way he could snatch the auction house from him. Since he could not get the auction house from him, he could only trade with him.

“Sir!” The Great Demon Venerate smiled at him and greeted, “Do you have anything that I need?”

“Yes, I do!” Riyue Changfeng’s eyes glowed, “I have a ( ). It can restore 30% power of a Demi-Sage expert once consumed. It’s considered as an extra life in a battle. I also have some Demi-Sage Weapons, and several secret techniques that could temporarily seal the movement of your enemy!”

“It’s a lot!” The Great Demon Venerate was shocked. He had the urge to steal all of them from Riyue Changfeng, but when he saw Bi Jiu, who squatted next to Riyue Changfeng, he pressed the urge down.

Apparently, the man in front of him was someone he couldn’t defeat at the moment. Besides, he shouldn’t create more trouble at a crucial moment like this as well.

“Can we trade now?” The Great Demon Venerate asked.

Riyue Changfeng shook his head and said, “I’ve already announced that the auction will begin in another year, so I can’t turn back on my words. This is the integrity of a trader!”

Jiang Ming glanced at Riyue Changfeng.

‘Integrity? Integrity is nothing when benefits are great enough.’

The Great Demon Venerate sighed, “Do you have the location map to the Sea of Chaos?”

“Yep, there is!” Riyue Changfeng squinted his eyes.

A certain expert who was observing them was stunned. His heart skipped a beat, but he soon calmed himself down.

The Sea of Chaos was a place where everyone wanted to go, including the Heavenly Emperor. The reason they did not go there was because they did not have the map.

“The map is here!” Riyue Changfeng pointed at his head.

The Great Demon Venerate did not continue the conversation. Instead, he changed to another topic, “Can you tell us how the realms of the Chaos Sea are divided?”

“Nope!” Riyue Changfeng said, “All I can say is that the Golden Immortal Realm is the weakest over there.”

“The Golden Immortal Realm is the weakest?” The Great Demon Venerate was stumped.

Even Jiang Ming was stunned as well.

Those who had achieved the Golden Immortal Realm were by no means weak, but they were the weakest in the Chaos Sea?

“In the Chaos Sea, the Golden Immortal experts are just like ordinary people in a planar world,” Riyue Changfeng added.

This time, both Jiang Ming and the Great Demon Venerate were speechless.

In other words, the Golden Immortal experts were just like ordinary people when they went to the Chaos Sea?

“There’s one saying in my place. The limit for the growth of the life bred in a small chiliocosm is the Golden Immortal Realm. Once a person has reached the Golden Immortal Realm and comprehended the Taiyi Dao, they can go to another world. Is that true or not?

“And the Immortal Emperor in the middle chiliocosm. Once they’ve ascended into the next realm, they will break their shackles and go to another world. Is that true or false?” The Great Demon Venerate asked.

“It’s both true and false!” Riyue Changfeng said after a short while of hesitation. “Anyway, this isn’t a secret after all, so I guess I can tell you about it.”

Both Jiang Ming and the Great Demon Venerate fell silent.

The experts that were hiding in the dark all pricked up their ears.

“In the chaos, only the great chiliocosm can truly exist and operate independently. Middle and small chiliocosms have to depend on the great chiliocosm. Generally speaking, once someone from the small or middle chiliocosm have broken their shackles, they will be send to the great chilicosm,” Riyue Changfeng said, “Some of the great chiliocosms will become volatile after losing the suppression of a holy saint. In this case, the living beings on the small or middle chiliocosms will be sent toward the Chaos Sea after they’ve broken their shackles

“Of course, there are also some exceptions as well. However, these ascensions also come with great risk. While they’re on the way to ascension, there will be a test. An expert once compiled the total number of people who successfully passed the test, and he found out that out of 100 million people, only one person might be able to pass the test.

“In other words, there is a one in a billion chance. So this ascension is suicidal!” Riyue Changfeng said.

“What…” Both the Great Demon Venerate and Jiang Ming were stunned.

One in a billion?

Suicidal?

This was something that they had never expected before.
