CHAPTER 492: CHAPTER 492: THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CHICKEN

To be honest, Earth Chicken didn’t know Luo Yu, nor could she remember a time when Chen Pingping had made such an enemy.

However, Luo Yu’s killing intention was astonishing.

She wondered if Chen Pingping had recklessly murdered his sister, or perhaps his younger sister? Then heartlessly abandoned her? Indeed, not a single man was good!

Earth Chicken was still deep in thought.

Yet, the distance between her and Luo Yu was rapidly closing. Luo Yu’s Divine Might was awe-inspiring, his killing intention alarming. His body, surrounded by flames that accentuated his presence, made him look like a Demon God who had emerged from the depths of hell.

The little monkey nearby said solemnly, "I admit, he’s indeed very strong—a Lord of the Eighth Layer of Heaven, and he even has the enhancement of the remnant soul of a Demon Bird. But... this God Monkey isn’t one to be trifled with."

Earth Chicken looked towards it.

The little monkey added, "But there’s one thing I must make clear: this person is coming for you, and it has nothing to do with me." It subconsciously took a few steps back, its eyes darting around, searching for an opportunity to bolt.

I can’t defeat him. At least not now, with my origin damaged and battle power greatly reduced. Old hen, it’s not that I don’t want to help you! But in times like these, it’s every monkey for himself!

"I am already a Lord of the Eighth Layer of Heaven. Killing Chen Pingping is well within my capabilities," Luo Yu said with a chilling smile. "But before that, I shall kill you both first."

As his words fell, he quickened his approach. His body had completely emerged from the magma. No longer subjected to its cleansing, his condition was rapidly recovering.

BANG!

Once close enough, he leaped into the air, his fist clenched tight, smashing down.

However...

A strong Array appeared out of nowhere, blocking Luo Yu’s punch. Not only that, but when his fist struck the Array, a metallic CLANG resonated, as if it had collided with refined steel.

Luo Yu’s arm shook. A terrible backlash came straight at him; his arm cracked, his body started to disintegrate, and his face distorted rapidly.

The little monkey, which had been preparing to flee, suddenly froze.

WHOOSH!

A second Array swiftly emerged, rising from the ground. Streams of Divine Brilliance burst through the Heaven Domain, trapping Luo Yu within it.

Luo Yu was stunned. ???? What happened? What was that just now? Was that an Array?

The flames on his body had been extinguished, and the manifested Demon Bird had also dispersed, leaving nothing but his naked, crack-covered body. He looked as if he might die at any moment.

"You..." Luo Yu glared at Earth Chicken, his heart in turmoil. What in the world kind of chicken is this?

"I’m asking you, where are the Ancient Phoenix’s remains?" Earth Chicken looked at him.

"What?" Luo Yu was shocked. "You’re actually looking for the Ancient Phoenix’s remains from my Star Sea?"

"Where are they?" Earth Chicken pressed once more, a sense of urgency in her voice.

"I won’t tell you!" Luo Yu fumed. "You good-for-nothing old hen! Not only did you intrude upon my Star Sea ancestral ground, but you even dare to covet the remains of my Star Sea’s Ancient Phoenix! You’re done for!" With those words, he prepared to extend his Divine Sense to alert the higher-ups in Star Sea.

But when his Divine Sense touched the Array, it was immediately repelled.

He paused, then stuttered, "This place is the ancestral ground of my Star Sea, the origin of Star Sea, and also a small world. How can you lay out an Array here?"

Indeed, why? The little monkey was also puzzled.

"Are you going to talk?" Earth Chicken asked again.

Luo Yu regained his composure, answering with equanimity, "No matter how you broke in here, the presence of the Array will surely alarm the elders of my Star Sea. Once they arrive, you will have no chance to escape."

"They are here too?" Earth Chicken scanned the surroundings.

"Exactly. Within the ancestral ground of Star Sea, there are protectors from the Saint Realm," Luo Yu laughed. "The fluctuations from your Array will definitely catch their attention."

Oh? Earth Chicken fell deep into thought once more.

The little monkey nearby immediately became uneasy.

After about seven or eight breaths’ time, a Saint Realm member of Star Sea walked forth from the depths. He was a middle-aged man in a long robe, with a resolute face and a profound gaze.

He glanced at the monkey, then turned his attention to Earth Chicken. "Demon Race?"

"Senior, kill it quickly! It’s here to steal the remains of the Ancient Phoenix!" Luo Yu shouted.

"A member of the Demon Race, intruding into our Star Sea ancestral land, and even daring to steal the remains of the Ancient Phoenix? You’ve got some nerve," the middle-aged man sneered.

He took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and released a powerful skill. Countless stars began to manifest in the sky.

Seeing this, the little monkey knew it couldn’t stay any longer and hurriedly made a run for it.

Luo Yu exclaimed, "That monkey is trying to escape!"

The middle-aged man turned a deaf ear, seemingly unconcerned about the little monkey’s ability to escape. His gaze remained fixed on Earth Chicken. For some reason, this chicken unnerved him.

The skill descended, engulfing everything.

Earth Chicken showed no intention of dodging. Mao Qiu merely fluttered his eyelids, glancing briefly.

BANG!

An Array emerged, blocking the man’s skill. Immediately after, another Array materialized around the man. Dense forces traced bizarre lines, instantly forming a large net.

Luo Yu was speechless.

"You..." The man choked out, "When did you lay an Array around me?"

This is too eerie. That was an Array! Whether it was a first-rank, a ninth-rank, or even an Array that surpassed this level of strength, setting one up normally required several steps. But Earth Chicken’s Array appeared with just a gesture of her hand! Not only that, but she could also set them up from a distance and effortlessly trap a powerful Saint Realm expert!

Both of them were dumbfounded.

Earth Chicken squinted and inquired, "Where are the remains?"

"Demon Race, you are seeking death!" The second Saint Realm powerhouse appeared; he was from the Third Heaven. He attacked from a great distance, a sword beam wreathed in Star Power slashing down.

But the outcome was the same as for the previous two. The first Array blocked the sword beam. The second Array trapped him on the spot, rendering him unable to move. Even reviving his Divine Weapon or channeling his cultivation realm was completely suppressed.

The eerie scene left them all too scared to speak.

Earth Chicken wasn’t in a hurry. She smiled as she looked at them, seemingly waiting for something.

It wasn’t long before a third Saint Realm expert appeared.

"Don’t come over!" the first Saint Realm powerhouse exclaimed.

"Third Brother, what’s wrong with you?" the newcomer asked. "Huh? Why is there an Array?"

Earth Chicken smiled faintly and twitched her claw. A powerful Array spontaneously appeared around the newcomer.

The man’s face stiffened, and he hastily backed away. But alas, it was too late.

He cried out in alarm, "Damn it, what’s going on? Why are you all trapped here?"

This is our Star Sea’s ancestral land! Yet now, we’re all trapped in our own ancestral land! This is maddening!

The first Saint Realm powerhouse’s face was ashen. "There’s something off about this old hen."

"Oh? Such a daring member of the Demon Race, barging into our Star Sea ancestral land?" The newcomer finally noticed Earth Chicken’s presence. He was startled, then said immediately, "I’ll notify Eldest Brother first."

"Don’t!" The Saint Realm expert referred to as Third Brother promptly intervened.

That old hen is too strange. She casually sets up Arrays that can easily trap us here. I have a feeling that even if Eldest Brother comes, he might not be able to handle this chicken... So, it’s better if he doesn’t come. He should focus on guarding the remains of the Ancient Phoenix.

Earth Chicken chuckled lightly. "You all came from that direction. So, if I haven’t guessed wrong, the remains of the Ancient Phoenix should be in that location, right?"

She pointed in a certain direction.

The men stiffened at her gesture.

At this moment, Luo Yu was too scared to speak, trembling all over. He realized something disastrous was about to happen.

Several Saint Realm elders tried to deal with this chicken and failed. If she finds the remains of the Ancient Phoenix, wouldn’t that be... disastrous? It’s over. It’s all over. Why is Chen Pingping’s pet so strange?
