Chapter 602: Resolving the Demonic Sea

"You still have such a temper," the figure of the tablet spirit appeared. It looked at the Darkness Master seated on the throne and spoke in a somewhat helpless manner.

"You should answer my question first."

The Darkness Master's gaze was fixed on the tablet spirit's figure. Her cold voice finally contained a bit of life's fluctuation in it.

"The Master is an existence of the same stage as Lord Symbol Ancestor…" the tablet spirit replied with a smile.

"What?"

The usually cold face of the Darkness Master showed some unusual fluctuations upon hearing this. Those black eyes once again turned towards Xiao Ming.

"I admit he is very strong, possibly at the Half-Ancestor Stage. But to say that he has reached the stage of Master is highly unlikely, isn't it? In ancient times, how many exceptionally talented individuals couldn't even touch the Half-Ancestor Stage… That's why we must do our utmost to assist Junior Sister. Master said that she is the one most likely to reach his stage!"

"What if I tell you that Master is not from the Tian Xuan Continent? Moreover, the Ice Master has already been taken as a disciple by Master."

Boom!

An extremely terrifying aura suddenly swept out from within the Darkness Master's body, only to be suppressed back.

Her usually emotionless face finally revealed an uncontrollable ecstasy at this moment. She stared at the tablet spirit with fiery eyes, trembling as she asked, "Has Junior Sister successfully reincarnated?"

"Wait..." Before the tablet spirit could reply, the Darkness Master discovered a loophole.

"He's not a strong individual who grew up in the Tian Xuan Continent?"

The Darkness Master scrutinized Xiao Ming carefully and found this to be the case. The system of cultivation practiced by the other party seemed to be different from their Yuan Power system. However, if that were the case, it would make sense for the other party to be a true Ancestor Stage powerhouse.

But the Darkness Master couldn't help but become more wary in her heart. Why would such a powerhouse appear in the Tian Xuan Continent?

Xiao Ming saw the caution in the Darkness Master's expression, but he didn't hide anything. After all, no one could stop him anyway.

He smiled and said, "The Tian Xuan Continent is considered young among the many planes, and therefore, it possesses many divine items. You should also know some information about the one ranked first among them. My goal is to obtain it, along with collecting some Ancestral Symbols along the way."

"So, you've come here coveting the divine items of our Tian Xuan Continent."

The Darkness Master felt quite displeased upon hearing this. To her, he seemed like an outsider attempting to seize her family's treasures.

The tablet spirit felt somewhat helpless in front of her attitude. However, the Darkness Master had always been like this, and trying to reason with her was futile.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming was not a hot-tempered person. He did not take offense and simply replied with a light smile.

"Why speak so harshly? Your Master, the Symbol Ancestor, is also an outsider. He simply switched to cultivating the Yuan Power system and you couldn't sense it, that's all. His goal was the same as mine. Oh, and those Yimo that give you headaches have the same goal, just by different means".

Upon hearing this, the Darkness Master's face instantly turned pale and her body began to tremble violently. This was a reaction she had not even shown when Xiao Ming had subdued her. Clearly, she was extremely shocked by this revelation.

"How... how is that possible!"

"There's nothing impossible. The Symbol Ancestor came to this plane precisely to break through, but evidently, he failed."

Xiao Ming chuckled and did not continue on this topic. Instead, he turned to look at the vast Devil Suppressing Prison before him.

After a moment of silence, the Darkness Master finally spoke again, her voice strained.

"So, what is your purpose for coming to this Devil Suppressing Prison? To release these Yimo?"

"Certainly not. The Yimo are part of an invading Fiend Clan from outside our realm that is hostile to all living beings here. How could I possibly free them? These Yimo are merely useful to me for obtaining that divine item."

The Darkness Master breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. If Xiao Ming truly intended to rescue these Yimo, she would have no way to stop him. Yet another thought crossed her mind.

"Will you leave the Tian Xuan Continent after obtaining that divine item?"

"Yes."

"You must be aware that the Yimo Tribe covets the Tian Xuan Continent. If you take the divine item and leave, what will become of the Tian Xuan Continent?"

"The Yimo Tribe can easily be wiped out as long as I get that divine item. I will make a move." Xiao Ming said indifferently.

Actually, even if he didn't obtain the Dimension Fetus, he would still intervene. After all, with his influence, whether Lin Dong could reach the Ancestor Stage in time was still uncertain. He couldn't really let the people of a plane pay for his mistake.

The tablet spirit nodded repeatedly on the side; the Master he followed was not someone of a vile nature.

"In that case, these million Yimo are yours to deal with" With this answer, the Darkness Master ceased to speak.

...

At the edge of the tumultuous Demonic Sea, the elders of the Dragon Tribe all looked at the churning Demonic Sea with somewhat tense expressions. As time passed, the gravity on their faces became more and more pronounced, and even a bit of anxiety appeared.

"Dad, why is there no sign of him after he went down for so long?"

The young lady in black finally couldn't help but speak out. There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes. Even though Xiao Ming was very strong, the matter at hand affected the entire Dragon Tribe. There was no way she could not be nervous.

"That person must have crossed the Demonic Sea and gone to the lowest Devil Suppressing Prison," Yuan Qian said slowly.

"Devil Suppressing Prison, no wonder it's taking such a long time." The elders suddenly realized as they had some understanding of the situation below.

"Don't worry, with his strength, I'm sure there won't be any problems."

Yuan Qian smiled and folded his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed as he waited quietly. The others exchanged glances as they saw this and also waited calmly.

Suddenly, Yuan Qian's slightly closed eyes snapped open. His gaze was filled with joy as he looked at the Demonic Sea.

Whoosh!

The Demonic Sea suddenly stirred. A multicolored flame shot up into the sky, completely purifying all the surrounding Demonic Qi. Two figures burst out from within it as well.

"The Senior has come out!" Everyone was overjoyed when they saw the figures emerging.

The figures quickly approached and then landed in front of everyone. The light shield around their bodies dissipated, revealing one of them to be Xiao Ming, who had entered the Devil Suppressing Prison earlier.

"Senior, how did it go?" Yuan Qian asked eagerly after seeing Xiao Ming emerge.

"It went very smoothly."

Xiao Ming smiled and said, "The Yimo within the Devil Suppressing Prison have been completely eradicated. Your Dragon Tribe no longer needs to worry about it in the future."

The several old Dragon Tribe elders showed joy on their weathered faces upon hearing this. Yuan Qian also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Then they noticed the black-armored woman next to Xiao Ming. She was looking over with curiosity.

"This must be Senior Darkness Master, right?"
