Overriding the Heaven

Night fell.    

Due to the abundant water vapor in the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest, its branches and leaves were luxuriant, so night came earlier.    

However, the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest today was destined to be very different from normal.    

The deeper into the night and the quieter it was, the more terrifying the roar of the Scarlet Fire Scorpion became.    

The plants in the deep crater of the volcano had been shaken to the point where they were all in disarray.    

Sulfur smoke that was so thick that it could not be dissolved enveloped a radius of ten miles, and even moonlight could not penetrate it.    

The countless stars in the sky all seemed as though they were about to fall from the heavens due to the shock.    

Ever since Chu Yan had jumped in, the Scarlet Fire Scorpion's roar had never stopped.    

Huang Ze and Bai Xiuxiu's emotions ranged from panic, to despair, to astonishment, to admiration, and then to numbness.    

The Scarlet Fire Scorpion's deafening roar made it hard for them to hear each other's words, even when they were leaning against each other.    

However, after so long, it was as if they were completely oblivious to it.    

The two of them sat in meditation, expressionless, and continued to wait.    

The next day at dawn, no one talked about leaving.    

It was as if they had agreed on this beforehand. They continued to meditate and wait.    

That afternoon, when the sun started setting again, White Soo Soo suddenly turned her head and looked at Huang Ze who was beside her. She asked, "Isn't your voice a little too quiet?"    

Compared to Bai Xiuxiu, who was in the Pulse Condensation Realm, Huang Ze who was a Tianxin Master had actually long since discovered that the Scarlet Fire Scorpion's voice was weakening bit by bit.    

This trend started to decline a little after it reached its peak in the middle of the night the previous day.    

The howls of the Scarlet Fire Scorpion did not stop, which meant that Chu Yan was still killing people inside.    

The Scarlet Fire Scorpion's angry roars gradually became quieter, and that was only because of one reason — their numbers were decreasing.    

Thinking of this, Huang Ze's body trembled uncontrollably.    

For Master Tianxin to be able to advance to his current level, he had seen and experienced much more than ordinary cultivators.    

It could be said that even when mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, it was still difficult to shake them.    

However, in the past two days, Huang Ze had already been shocked several times.    

He even started to suspect if he had taken the wrong immortal path.    

In this state of self-doubt, Huang Ze and Bai Xiuxiu spent the night in the Evil Barbarian Rain Forest.    

Just yesterday, when Bai Xiuxiu noticed that the Scarlet Fire Scorpion's furious roars had died down, the roars that shook the stars had indeed descended in an extremely smooth manner.    

By the time the night was over and the sky lit up once more, the roars of the Scarlet Fire Scorpion had grown very small.    

If it was before, it was akin to thousands of men roaring and galloping, but now, it gave off the feeling of ten men in arms, crying out in despair.    

Finally, after less than an hour, after the Scarlet Fire Scorpion had let out its last roar, the crater that had been reverberating for two days and two nights finally quieted down.    

Even though the volume of the voice had gradually decreased, the sudden silence that was loud enough to hear the heartbeat still made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.    

Therefore, even though Huang Ze and Bai Xiuxiu had expected this to happen, they still looked at each other, making sure that their ears weren't broken. Then, with a quick motion, they jumped up from the ground and hurried back to the slope, looking down.    

Two days ago, even if Chu Yan had cracked his tongue and said that he could kill all of the Scarlet Fire Scorpion here, they would not have believed him.    

But facts speak louder than words.    

After persevering for two days and two nights, the sound of the Scarlet Fire Scorpion became quieter and quieter. Even if someone told them that there was suddenly no response, it wasn't because the Scarlet Fire Scorpion had been killed but because Chu Yan couldn't hold on any longer and died, they wouldn't believe it either.    

Not long after he reached the top of the hill, a blurry figure appeared behind a cloud of yellow smoke.    

As the figure approached, it became clearer and clearer.    

"It's Lord Chu!" White Soo Soo immediately recognized Chu Yan's figure and shouted out in excitement.    

Judging by her glittering and uncontrollable expression, it was likely that Chu Yan created a sect at that moment and she would immediately become a believer. She would also become one that was absolutely loyal.    

Astonishment and disbelief surfaced on Huang Ze's face at this moment. Seeing Chu Yan's figure, he walked to the bottom of the slope, then leaped up and stood in front of the two of them.    

Chu Yan's clothes were a little tattered and messy compared to before.    

Furthermore, a trace of exhaustion emerged on his face.    

After walking up to the two, Chu Yan didn't say anything and waved at them. Then, he walked to the side, sat down cross-legged and started to meditate.    

From the moment Chu Yan appeared, he had already become a god-like existence in Huang Ze's and White Soo Soo's hearts.    

To them, every move he made was like an imperial decree given by the emperor to his subjects. It was supreme and unparalleled. No one could oppose it.    

Thus, Chu Yan went to the side to meditate. The two of them were also silent as they carefully meditated nearby. Not to mention asking Chu Yan about the events that happened in the past two days, they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.    

While Chu Yan was meditating, although Huang Ze and Bai Xiuxiu did not dare to make a sound, their eyes did not leave Chu Yan's body as they sized him up.    

It was impossible for them to not be curious.    

Originally, they hoped to find some clues from Chu Yan.    

However, after careful observation, he was disappointed.    

Other than his tattered clothes, there were no other clues on Chu Yan.    

For example, the weapon he used. Whether he went in or came out now, they didn't see him.    

Another example would be when he killed those Scarlet Fire Scorpions. Then, where was the tail or even the corpse of the Scarlet Fire Scorpion?    

The more time passed, the more Huang Ze's heart itched.    

He even held his breath and raised his head to look down the slope. He wanted to see what it looked like inside. Maybe the Scarlet Fire Scorpion's corpse was still inside.    

However, the truth was disappointing.    

In the crater, the thick sulfur smoke had yet to dissipate, so no matter how strong his vision was, he could not see any further.    

Chu Yan opened his eyes after meditating for about two hours.    

Seeing Chu Yan open his eyes, Huang Ze and Bai Xiuxiu hurried over.    

White Soo wanted to say something, but her lips moved. In the end, she looked at Huang Ze and let him speak first.    

Huang Ze had long since lost his patience and immediately asked: "Lord Chu, all the Scarlet Fire Scorpions were killed by you?"    

"Yes." Chu Yan let out a faint syllable from his nostrils.    

Although they had already expected this, after getting a positive answer from Chu Yan, Huang Ze and Bai Xiuxiu were so shocked that they leaned back and took in a breath of cold air.    

Huang Ze stammered, "Then, then may I ask Sir Chu, what happened to the tail and tail of the Scarlet Fire Scorpion?"    

Chu Yan glanced at him and flipped his palm.    

In an instant, a mountain of giant scorpion carcasses collapsed in front of Huang Ze and Bai Xiuxiu.
