I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 598: Falling into the Water

Chen Baxian wasn’t too worried about Han Zheng.

This time when Han Zheng emerged from seclusion, he could feel that Han Zheng’s strength had improved significantly, even surpassing his Yang God Realm self from before.

If he were the one in the Yang God Realm facing such a situation, he would also choose to venture deep into the Country of Demons.

Moreover, Han Zheng had the guise of a Demon King level, as long as he doesn’t initiate trouble, generally there shouldn’t be any issues.

In the Country of Demons, a Demon King can also establish a dwelling and occupy a region.

It’s just that during these recent battles, powerful figures at the level of Demon Saints and Demon Emperors have emerged one after another, making the Demon King seem like small fry.

In reality, a Demon King’s status within the Country of Demons is not low.

Since entering the Country of Demons, Han Zheng has been traveling quietly, being extremely low-key, not even taking time to appreciate the scenery of the Country of Demons.

In fact, most of the Northwest Wilderness is barren and cracked earth, extremely impoverished, and there’s not much to appreciate.

The areas rich in nature’s spiritual energy have all been occupied by various Demon Emperors and Demon Kings, and Han Zheng has been avoiding these regions, not meeting these powerful demon clan members.

Even when occasionally encountering some demon clan skirmishes, he immediately bypasses the area.

After traveling in this manner for about twenty days, Han Zheng has already traveled half the journey, arriving at the true central region of the Country of Demons.

Here, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is more abundant than the outside, and the climate is relatively warmer with more rainfall, allowing one to see some greenery in the wild.

However, at this moment appearing before Han Zheng was a vast river as if a sea, with no end in sight.

This river was recorded on Chen Baxian’s map, named Fall Water.

It’s called this name because there is extremely strong suction within this river, any living being entering its waters will be dragged to the bottom by that powerful force, even a Demon Saint cannot escape.

Though with Demon Saint level strength, falling to the riverbed won’t be fatal, but one would be imprisoned like a prisoner forever, until their life span is exhausted.

Rumor has it that this Fall Water formed because a Ancient God lies buried beneath, hence its bizarre and domineering appearance.

Moreover, this Fall Water extends for thousands of miles, dividing the entire Northwest Wilderness in half, making it impossible to circumvent.

The only way to cross is to find a Falling God Tree growing by the banks, chop it down and use it to craft a small boat, enabling passage across the Fall Water.

When the Great Zhou was first established, the Human Clan entered the Country of Demons to sweep the demon clan, but large-scale actions only reached the edge of Fall Water.

Due to the scarcity of Falling God Trees, the Great Zhou hasn’t many small boats, forcing them to send a few people to chase the demon clan bit by bit.

Without numerical advantage, being too dangerous, they had to abandon the effort.

Thus, during each purge of demons, the army would halt at the shore of Fall Water, with only a few powerful ones crossing to hunt demons beyond.

On Chen Baxian’s map, the most detailed part only reaches the shore of Fall Water, and beyond is vaguely marked with merely rough regions.

Han Zheng originally wanted to find a Falling God Tree boat to cross the Fall Water.

However, the small boat left in storage has long since decayed completely, from who knows how many years ago.

After all, the Human Clan hadn’t reached the Fall Water’s edge for two thousand years, who would deliberately maintain such a thing?

But Han Zheng wasn’t anxious.

The Human Clan doesn’t cross the river, the demon clan needs to cross the river themselves.

There should be quite a few demon clan ferries along the banks of Fall Water, it’s just unknown what price is needed to cross.

Before coming, Han Zheng prepared plenty of Demon Cores, all kinds of grades.

Indeed, the hard currency of demon clan transactions is the Demon Cores of their own kind.

The Northwest Wilderness is too barren to find any decent Elemental Crystal veins, so mostly they barter among themselves.

However, bartering is inconvenient and some powerful demon clans use Demon Cores as the basic material for transactions.

Human Clan can use Demon Cores for alchemy and artifact refining, while demon clans refine them directly.

These Demon Cores come from slain opponents or from deceased demon members within their tribes.

In this barren Northwest Wilderness, even the slightest resource cannot be wasted.

Moreover, for the demon clan, they don’t truly have a strong sense of kinship.

Because of the rise of Human Clan, the demon clan had to unite themselves.

Otherwise, in ancient times, the two great demon clans would fight to the point of carnage.

Just like the Golden Winged Great Peng clan and Northern Yellow Dragon clan are mortal enemies; the entire Golden Winged Great Peng clan was exterminated, with only scattered mixed bloodlines remaining.

But not long ago, the Heavenly Feather Demon Emperor, who had the most Golden Winged Great Peng blood, also died at the hands of Chen Baxian, sparking their complete extinction.

Han Zheng walked along Fall Water for about a hundred miles and saw a ferry.

There were quite a few demon clans waiting at the ferry edge, approximately a hundred, among which there were even six or seven Demon Kings.

As Han Zheng approached, some demons glanced at him but, seeing him unfamiliar, did not pay much attention.

After a while, a large ship entirely crafted from Falling God Tree appeared at the ferry’s edge.

Previously, the demon clan could only clumsily build small boats fitting only a few people; after two thousand years of development, they could construct a large ship that could carry hundreds.

Han Zheng followed the swarm of demons, watching the number of Demon Cores the demon clans ahead were taking out, he also took out two Great Demon Inner Cores and handed them over.

After boarding, Han Zheng sat silently in the corner, closed his eyes slightly, and posed an image of quiet cultivation.

Yet other demon clans around were heatedly discussing something, Han Zheng listened for a while and found out why so many demons congregated at this ferry today.

Beyond Fall Water lies the territory of a major clan in the Country of Demons, the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Sometime soon, it will be the birthday of the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s ancestor, and these people came to celebrate.

The Qingqiu Fox Clan is of Upper Demon Clan status, almost every generation produces a Demon Saint.

However, currently, there is no Demon Saint in the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Because decades ago, when the demon clan attacked Demon Suppression Pass, among the two Demon Saints killed by Qi Zhangwu, one was from the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Yet the fall of one Demon Saint did not affect the prestige and fame of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

There were still four Demon Emperors within the clan, someone will surely reach the Demon Saint Realm.

Thus, for this Qingqiu Fox Clan ancestor’s birthday, any influential Demon King, Demon Emperor, or even Demon Lords and Great Demons nearby will come to celebrate.

Upon hearing the name Qingqiu Fox Clan, Han Zheng suddenly recalled that he had already interacted with them back when he was in Southern Mountain.

That time, the Qingqiu Fox Clan, through an array, supported the Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, a great sect in Southern Mountain; its sect leader Yin Taiqing and his son Yao Zijing romantically involved with the Qingqiu Fox Demon.

Eventually, Yao Zijing died at his hand, Guiyuan Sword Pavilion was annihilated, and the Qingqiu Fox Demon Ming Xi took the little fox demon Ling Xian’er back to Qingqiu Demon Country.

Back then, the Qingqiu Fox Demon Ming Xi had made threats to slaughter the entire Southern Mountain.

But the array was destroyed, could they cross Demon Suppression Pass to attack him? Han Zheng hadn’t taken it seriously.

This time, although Han Zheng would pass through Qingqiu Demon Country, he wasn’t too worried.

In the entire Qingqiu Demon Country, only Ming Xi and Ling Xian’er recognized him, the chance of meeting them is extremely low.

Qingqiu Demon Country has its own independent inner world, not within Northwest Wilderness, this was just the entrance to Qingqiu Demon Country.

Though usually Qingqiu Demon Country sends people to patrol outside, those are usually some vassal tribes, rarely the direct lineage of Qingqiu Fox Clan goes out.

The most crucial point was, now Han Zheng didn’t show his real appearance, but the guise of Swallowing Sky Python.

But at this moment, Han Zheng suddenly frowned.

He suddenly sensed a probing gaze on himself, but it vanished in an instant.
