Chapter 6830 Rotten Heart
The Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture was often considered the last pure land of the nine heavens and ten lands.
During the primal chaos war, heaven and earth were destroyed, leaving only the hundred domains and thousand prefectures. As a result, survivors from the nine heavens and ten lands were confined to a much smaller region.
Over time, the nine heavens and ten lands healed and transformed. The stars and constellations moved, and seas became mulberry fields. These changes shaped the world as it was today.
The Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture was a vast area composed of eight large star-fields. It earned the title of divine prefecture because it served as the ultimate sanctuary, built with the combined effort and power of countless gods.
These eight star-fields were Heaven, Earth, Celestial, Creation, Cosmos, Eternity, Boundless, and Desolation. It was said that over half of the factions in the nine heavens and ten lands had lived in these eight star-fields.
All those factions were followers of the Star Master who had fought against the outsider devils. They were the descendants of the heroes from the nine heavens and ten lands. While outsider devils had infiltrated almost every part of those lands, the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture was the only area they dared not enter.
According to Zheng Wenlong’s explanation, this place concealed a power that terrified the outsider devils.
However, as for what that power was? No one knew. It was most likely a taboo secret.
The Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture was not just a place that outsider devils dared not set foot in. Even the Brahma line couldn’t extend its hands there. There was not one believer of Lord Brahma in that prefecture.

When Long Chen walked out of the transportation formation with Jing Jing on his arm, she looked around nervously and excitedly. It was her first time seeing a human city.
“Wow, there are a lot of people!” Jing Jing exclaimed.
Jing Jing was wearing a blue dress with ice-crystal runes flashing across it like gemstones. It was very flashy, and she was drawing quite a bit of attention.
Long Chen initially intended for Jing Jing to learn flame arts alongside Huo Linger in the primal chaos space, aiming to have the seed of the Ice Soul Divine Flame establish itself in her body. However, she had been alone for too long, and everything was unfamiliar to her. She couldn’t settle down and focus on training as expected.
Long Chen couldn’t bear to scold her, so he let her stay by his side. Jing Jing had wanted Huo Linger and Lei Linger to come out to play as well, but the two of them were bored, so they continued cultivating.
In truth, Jing Jing wasn’t the only one drawing the onlookers’ attention. Long Chen, in his pure black robes, also looked quite striking. However, what stood out most was that almost no one else was wearing black robes. Many people glanced at him with curiosity.
Long Chen was quite handsome from the start, but years of bloodshed, loss, and fighting had worn away some of his youthful air. There was a certain heaviness and reserve about him now.
It almost felt as if he did not fit into this world. That drew attention to him.
“Big Brother Long Chen, a lot of them have bad intentions!” Jing Jing said, her guard raised.
Quite a few people were looking at them with hostility.
As an ice spirit, she had very sharp perception. Having achieved spiritual awakening with the Butterfly Spirit race, she was exceptionally sensitive toward other people’s emotions.
“They’re just jealous of me having such a beautiful little sister,” Long Chen replied.
“They don’t have little sisters?” Jing Jing asked, clearly not understanding Long Chen’s hidden meaning.
Long Chen chuckled without offering an explanation. Jing Jing truly seemed like a child; she probably wouldn’t comprehend regardless of how he explained it.
This was just a small city near the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, yet surprisingly busy.
They continued to the next transportation formation. However, this time, their target was within the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture.
They needed to be checked upon arrival, and a formation gate conducted the inspection. It was said to be designed to detect the Brahma line and outsider devils. Anyone with their aura would activate an alarm from this gate.
As everyone else easily passed through this gate, it shuddered violently when Long Chen walked through. Countless runes flowed along it.
The next moment, dozens of powerful auras immediately erupted, and waves of Sovereign might locked onto Long Chen.
“A devil has appeared!”
Everyone else hastily fled. If they didn’t run now, they wouldn’t have a chance.
“Brat, who are you?! What connection do you have with the outsider devils?!” shouted an elder wielding a Sovereign weapon.
The other Divine Sovereigns slowly surrounded Long Chen to make sure he couldn’t escape.
“Heavens, no wonder I thought he looked so strange. So he’s an outsider devil in disguise!”
“The outsider devils really are idiots. Do they not know that their disguises are useless in front of this formation gate?”
“I suppose we’ll get to see a rare show now, hahaha!”
Many people ran all the way out of the city and started watching the fun.
Who would have thought this tiny city would be hiding so many Divine Sovereigns? Although they were not acquired ones, this lineup was quite surprising
Jing Jing tensed. Although she was incredibly powerful, she was nervous because this was her first time leaving her home. She clenched Long Chen’s hand tightly and hid behind him.
“I have no connection with the outsider devils!” Long Chen exclaimed, frowning.
He didn’t know what the problem was. For now, he just said the truth.
“What about the Brahma line?” demanded the elder.
Long Chen was irritated by this interrogation, but he patiently said, “I have no connection with them either.”
Just then, a chubby crone stepped forward and pointed her cane at Long Chen and Jing Jing.
“I don’t believe you! The woman beside you has demonic qi! She’s clearly evil! If you keep lying, I’ll kill you!” she shouted.
Two flabs on the sides of her face jumped as she shouted. A pair of venomous eyes glared at them.
Jing Jing cried out and hid her face behind Long Chen in the face of such ugliness.
Long Chen’s expression darkened. This woman said that Jing Jing had demonic qi? She was clearly jealous and abusing her power.
This old crone had successfully provoked Long Chen.
Zheng Wenlong had said this was the final pure land of the nine heavens and ten lands. Long Chen had some expectations, but he hadn’t even reached the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture before running into such an irritating thing.
Just as Long Chen hesitated about whether or not he should explain or simply leave, that crone suddenly vanished.
She appeared behind Jing Jing and stretched a hand toward her neck.
Long Chen’s patience snapped. An explosive sound rang out, and blood mist filled the air.
