Chapter 823: Entering the Demon Realm Again

Everything that needed to be said had been said, so it was time to leave.
Within the personal domain of the Sky-Devouring Rat, Su Che activated a teleportation portal and took Hei Luo and Guang Yu straight to the spatial passage under the control of the Evil Emperor.
Before departing, he didn’t forget to bid farewell to Emperor Feng Xiao and express his gratitude.
According to his premonitory memories, if he hadn’t found the Sky-Devouring Rat in advance, Emperor Feng Xiao would have accompanied Su Che through countless battles—perhaps hundreds of them—yet still failed to deliver him to his destination.
This way, he avoided seventy years of trouble and hardship. Otherwise, though not life-threatening, such a struggle would have been extremely annoying.
About ten thousand miles away from the entrance to the spatial passage, Su Che took out a lower-grade immortal artifact-level spatial treasure and said to Hei Luo and Guang Yu, “There will surely be a large army of demons guarding the passage on the demon realm side. It’s best to sneak in quietly. If we’re discovered, come out and help me fight them off.”
Hei Luo and Guang Yu hesitated not at all and gladly entered the spatial treasure.
Firstly, it was out of trust in Su Che. Secondly, it was just a lower-grade immortal artifact—completely incapable of trapping them. They could tear through space and emerge in just one or two breaths.
Just as Su Che was about to fly toward the entrance of the passage, he heard a voice behind him: “Lord Arbitrator, please stop!”
Turning around, he saw two immortal emperors at the Eighth Heaven realm flying toward him.
Su Che recognized them. In his premonitory memories, they were among those who had plagued him along the way—extremely annoying and detestable.
“Fuck you!”
Su Che cursed under his breath and teleported away, diving straight into the sea of chaotic holy flames in front of the passage.
The two chasing immortal emperors were stunned. They didn’t dare use teleportation to enter the chaotic flames, as that would cause their spiritual cores to explode and kill them.
“Lord Arbitrator, please stop. We have matters to discuss,” the two insisted, continuing to send messages to Su Che.
Standing in the sea of flames, Su Che gave them a cold glance without responding, thinking to himself: After all this, they still managed to find me. Truly persistent.
Fortunately, he had precognitive abilities and knew in advance that they weren’t trustworthy. Otherwise, if he had stopped to talk to them just because they addressed him as “Lord Arbitrator,” he would have fallen for their trick…
The two kept sending messages and flying toward the chaotic flames. However, there were guard troops under the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord stationed outside the flames, so they didn’t dare advance too quickly.

Without Su Che’s ability to instantly teleport into the sea of fire, entering a spatial passage required passing through the inspection of the Garrison Corps. Su Che made a contemptuous gesture at them, then, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of immortals from the Garrison Corps, used the Great Invisibility Technique to hide his presence and dived into the spatial passage. Seeing Su Che vanish, the two Eighth Heaven Immortal Emperors sighed sadly and stopped pursuing him. In these turbulent times, they didn’t dare venture to the Origin Demon Realm. A few breaths later, Su Che passed through the spatial passage and infiltrated the Origin Demon Realm, still in hiding, with a layer of Origin Magic surrounding his body, transforming once again into a stream of demonic energy in the void. However, such disguise could only fool lower-level demons; it had already been detected by a Purple-Winged Demon Emperor of the Sixth Heaven last time. Not far away, the massive army of demons covering the entire void still held their position, forcing Su Che to slip through the gaps between them. The reason he could escape easily last time was because he had passed through the spatial passage, and the demon emperors didn’t dare chase him to the Immortal Realm. If discovered again this time and forced to flee into the demon realm, the difficulty would be unimaginable. From his predictive memories, he had infiltrated there seventy years later and, luckily, hadn’t been detected by any demon emperor, allowing him to reach the Immortal Lord’s Treasury successfully. But today, arriving seventy years earlier, luck might not be on his side. Lao He said with a laugh, “Master, you only need to make one trip to know if this infiltration will succeed. Or, why not just teleport straight to after success? That would be even easier.” Teleporting directly to success, avoiding the difficult struggle, was indeed a pretty good way to slack off. Spending 100 million immortal crystals each time was like paying for convenience—that’s exactly what Lao He meant. “It works for big things, but not for small ones!” Su Che disagreed. “If you always think of slacking off and leaving all difficulties for the future me to bear, developing such laziness will one day cause me to completely lose my future. Don’t you understand this?” “I don’t!” Lao He grinned. “I knew you wouldn’t understand, fool!” Su Che retorted jokingly. The principle was simple: changing the present would change the future. If one became lazy now, they would become useless in the future. Therefore, predicting the future should only be used as a tool, not relied on excessively—this balance must be maintained.

As he spoke, Su Che had already infiltrated the demon army’s defensive formation, passing through gaps and brushing past statue-like demon guards, quickly breaking through seven layers of defense.
“Haha, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I knew you’d come back!”
A loud, arrogant laugh suddenly rang out. In an instant, the Purple-Winged Demon Emperor, who had once seen through Su Che before, teleported to the front of the void, his cold and vicious gaze fixed firmly on Su Che.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three more powerful demon emperors teleported over as well. It seemed they had set a trap, waiting for Su Che to fall into it.
He’s been discovered!
Su Che immediately realized that if he had come decades later, these demon emperors might have lost patience and given up on waiting. Now was the moment when they were most alert.
There were gains and losses—saving seventy years in the Immortal Realm, but on the side of the Demon Realm…
It didn’t matter. He’d play along with them. Unless absolutely necessary, Su Che didn’t want to use teleportation to resolve the crisis.
Boom!
“Stop laughing, you demon brat!”
Before they could launch an attack, Su Che threw a punch.
Swish! Swish!
Hei Luo and Guang Yu, who had been prepared for battle, emerged from their spatial treasures at the same time. The black dragon’s energy and silver sword light rushed forward in a fierce attack.
“Aaaah~~~”
The Purple-Winged Demon Emperor let out a strange howl, not daring to confront them head-on and instead teleporting to avoid them. After all, the attacks from Su Che and his two companions were all focused on him, and he couldn’t withstand them.
A demon emperor of the sixth heaven level didn’t dare to resist even one of Hei Luo or Guang Yu’s attacks, let alone face a group assault.
“Charge!”
With at least thirty demon emperors in the army, how could Su Che and his two companions linger? They scared the Purple-Winged Demon Emperor away and rushed forward along the path he had cleared, breaking through the demon army’s defensive formation.
Ahead was endless void—time to run!
Araaaaah~~~
With a high-pitched dragon roar, Hei Luo summoned a top-tier immortal artifact in the form of a black dragon, carrying Su Che and Guang Yu at high speed. This dragon-shaped treasure was also his life treasure, capable of both attacking and serving as a fast flying artifact. It was much faster than the Nine-Dragon Imperial Chariot when it came to escaping.
As a seventh heaven immortal emperor, Hei Luo indeed possessed the ability to refine supreme treasures. However, his ability to transform natural luck was extremely poor. Over billions of years, he had taken countless supreme treasures to the Heavenly Will Furnace, but only succeeded in obtaining this one top-tier immortal artifact; all the others failed, wasting countless excellent materials.

With such bad luck, it can only be said that one has done too many evil deeds in daily life and is not favored by heaven, which is why the chance of success in facing fate’s will is so low. No less than ten Demon Emperors chased after them. Within the Demon Realm, they possessed teleportation abilities and were slightly faster than the Black Dragon’s magical artifacts over short distances. However, as soon as these Demon Emperors teleported in, they were repelled by Guang Yu’s fierce sword beams. These beams were emitted from a celestial-grade flying sword, using the Great Sacred Light Art, which had a strong restraining effect on demons. Seeing the celestial-grade sword in Guang Yu’s hand, Hei Luo couldn’t help but feel envious. Even while fleeing, he still managed to shout, “Arbitrator, since we’ve entered the Immortal Lord’s treasure vault, you must reward me with a few celestial-grade artifacts!” “What bold demands!” Su Che laughed. “I can give you one for free. If you want more, you’ll have to bid for them with money. But I’ll take care of you privately.” His original plan was to take him into the Immortal Lord’s treasure vault, plunder all his personal possessions, and then make him work as a milker for 100,000 years. But after sharing this time of hardship together, Su Che’s impression of him changed greatly. He still intended to make him a milker, but the 100,000 years could be reduced to 2,000; as for his personal possessions, taking half would be enough… “Haha!” Hei Luo laughed loudly. “I never thought of taking anything for free. As long as the Arbitrator is willing to take care of me privately, I’m sure I’ll gain a lot from this treasure vault opportunity.” Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh… Guang Yu kept releasing sword beams, repelling each Demon Emperor who rushed forward. She was gentle by nature, spoke little, and was rather introverted. She had never asked Su Che for special treatment before. Perhaps because she was too shy and had too much pride, she felt she didn’t deserve to make such requests after knowing Su Che for less than a day. Unbeknownst to her, in Su Che’s heart, she was a good friend who had fought alongside him for 70 years. Although that was part of his prophetic memories—the original future path had already changed, and those 70 years of battles could no longer happen—but this friendship was indelible, and Su Che kept it all in mind. Swish! A Demon Emperor teleported onto the road ahead, likely possessing strength above the Seventh Heaven. Before Su Che and his two companions could strike him, the guy suddenly disappeared, leaving only a black sphere floating in midair. Boom! The sphere exploded, and a huge ball of light instantly expanded to the size of a sun. A powerful shockwave spread over millions of miles in an instant.

In the Demon Realm, immortals lack the ability to teleport, leaving them with only one method of evasion: flying fast to avoid enemy attacks. Even if Hei Luo were wielding a top-tier immortal artifact, it would be impossible for him to dodge such a massive and widespread attack in time.
Now, Su Che understood that this was because the laws of the Origin Demon Realm were created by external forces, completely different from those of the Immortal Realm.
The intense explosions and powerful shocks, though not able to harm Su Che and his two companions, still managed to stop them in their tracks. Not only that, but they were also pushed back tens of thousands of miles…
