Chapter 429: 12 The Only Goal: To Kill You!

Chapter 429: Chapter 12 The Only Goal: To Kill You!

Reaching the fifth stage of Refining Qi into God, Wang Sheng’s spiritual body manifested and his strength significantly increased, far beyond what it was before, enabling him to handle matters concerning “Zhong.”

He didn’t know how strong Zhong would eventually become, so the earlier he dealt with it, the better.

“If Zhong breaks through, he will surely come; there won’t be any surprises. But it’s still calm now; hasn’t he broken through yet?”

A whole year without a breakthrough, from where did Zhong gather the confidence to subdue him?

“No matter what, I’ll first make a trip to the original First Imperial Dynasty, but Zhong really values his own people…”

Zhong was once an ancestor of the Spirit Clan, one could say he saved the Spirit Clan.

Now, as the leading figure of the Demon Clan, he also highly regards the weaker members of the Demon Clan.

The transformation from Spirit to Demon doesn’t seem to have changed his character.

But the more it was so, the more Wang Sheng found it strange.

With such a character, what really drove Zhong to transform into a Demon, indifferent to the life or death of the Spirit Clan?

But then Wang Sheng reconsidered and felt something was off.

“It’s not that he doesn’t care about the survival of the Spirit Clan, whether Demon or Spirit, as long as Zhong ultimately triumphs, he will certainly transform into ‘Human Race,’ which, for Zhong, are all the same, even due to the presence of the Spirit Clan Elders, Zhong holds high prestige within the Spirit Clan, naturally receiving Qi Fortune…”

Zhong’s actions may seem to only favor the Demon Clan, but in fact, when faced with the reality of transformation, it’s all the same.

If everyone transforms into the Human Race, then the Spirit Clan will have to accept it whether they like it or not.

“So, the question still lies at the beginning. If Zhong wanted to ensure the Spirit Clan wouldn’t be transformed, why has he now given up, even embracing it actively?”

After preparing, Wang Sheng planned to set off.

This time, he wasn’t in such a hurry; the affairs of the Spirit World could be properly arranged.

[The Spirit World is about to upgrade, all users are forced to log off]

With the notice, the people in the Spirit World were prepared and did not panic as they did before during sudden shutdowns.

Naturally, due to frequent closures, many believed that the Spirit World wouldn’t last long.

There was no helping it, the issue of the leading figure of the Demon Clan was the most important at the moment. Without resolving this, Wang Sheng simply wouldn’t have time to deal with other matters.

Just like the Black Wood Wang Sheng obtained from the “Blood Locust King,” he hadn’t dealt with it yet; sharpening the axe does not delay the work of chopping wood if there is no rush.

Transforming Black Wood into flying swords would take a lot of time, which he didn’t have.

After closing the Spirit World, he immediately set off.

After the breakthrough, his Divine Thought entered a new phase, and his speed in Sword Flight was even faster.

A journey that originally required a day now only took about an hour.

And while he was hurrying along, within the territory of the original First Imperial Dynasty, two figures were confronting each other.

Zhong and Jiang Yun.

The aura surrounding both of them was terrifying, incomparably stronger than before, and had transcended the Breakthrough Level to reach a new realm.

Zhong looked displeased; over a month ago, he had finally achieved a qualitative change.

He had intended to search for that member of the Human Race, but not long after he left the Imperial City, he was attacked.

Initially, he thought it was that same individual, but it turned out to be Jiang Yun.

But Jiang Yun surprised him even more.

He could confirm that Jiang Yun had lost the enhancement of the Qi Fortune World. By all logic, Jiang Yun’s strength should only reach the peak Grandmaster level.

Yet, not only had Jiang Yun’s strength not decreased, but he had also broken through to the same realm as him, and even some of his tactics felt troublesome.

Over the past month, he had constantly tangled with Jiang Yun and had uncovered some details.

“Jiang Yun, this isn’t your strength. Did you accept their power?”

“Them” Zhong hadn’t specified who, actually it was a probe.

In this world, the only possibility that could enhance someone’s strength so greatly, other than his own method, was essentially just one.

“Them? Zhong, you’re not my match, so you’re looking for excuses now?”

Though he spoke those words, Zhong still noticed a momentary peculiarity in Jiang Yun’s aura, and he had his answer.

“Jiang Yun, your Jiang Family has brought disaster to this world; do you intend to do so again? I can’t believe you’re unaware of the consequences!”

Zhong was furious.

The Qi Fortune Grandmaster System created by the Jiang Family had robbed the world of hope, and in facing calamities, they could only rely on such means.

Still, the Jiang Family actively welcomed disaster.

Jiang Yun, having realized that Zhong had figured it out, dropped the act; only the victor could write the ending.

“So what if it does? This world is essentially ours for the taking. Everything would have remained fine if you had just stayed content; who knew you harbored such ambitions? Even if it means disaster, you share the blame too…” Jiang Yun seemed indifferent.

He had already thought everything through when his strength began to decline; what did it matter if he could retake everything?

Disaster? It didn’t matter!

Hearing Jiang Yun’s words, Zhong didn’t speak further.

He knew that just talking was of no use.

“Alright, since your Jiang Family created this system, you obviously wouldn’t care about anything else.”

The Qi Fortune Grandmaster System, extremely malignant and selfish.

So selfish that the world couldn’t contain any existence that surpassed their own, to the extent that an entire world was treated as a private possession.

Any reasoning was futile.

Zhong’s heart surged with fury again; the Human Race, indeed, was a race that shouldn’t exist.

It was the people of this race that had caused this situation.

Zhong launched a fierce attack; the sky trembled.

Naturally, Jiang Yun did not show weakness and met the attack with full force.

And all of this was seen by some, six people in total.

Among them were the Peeping Sky Army and Heavenly Illusion Monarch.

“The battle has indeed begun, everything is according to plan. Who do you think will win?”

The six people discussed the battle between Jiang Yun and Zhong.

“There’s no need to ask such a foolish question, Master of the Epoch. We’ve expended a lot of effort to imbue Jiang Yun with that power. Although Zhong is powerful, he won’t be a match.”

“What Kui Tian Monarch said is true, hahaha. Isn’t Jiang Yun using a part of Kui Tian Monarch’s power right now? With the ‘Peeping Sky Eye’ of Kui Tian Monarch, Zhong’s tactics are all exposed.”

The fact was indeed so.

Zhong’s battle was very difficult; most of his tactics had been seen through and were ineffective.

The more he fought, the more stifled he felt; it wasn’t so a month ago.

Jiang Yun seemed to have deciphered all his battle techniques within a month.

“Jiang Yun is truly inadequate. With my tactics, he hasn’t finished in a month’s time. If it were me, I would’ve seen through everything in one battle,” said Kui Tian Monarch, quite dissatisfied, feeling that Jiang Yun had sullied his Peeping Sky Path.

“Haha, what level is Kui Tian Monarch at? How could Jiang Yun compare with Kui Tian Monarch?”

“Exactly, our level is much higher; their skirmishes are but child’s play. It’s laughable that ‘Zhong’ still thinks he can resist, but what he’ll face eventually is only despair.”

“Merely wishful thinking. What if he’s from the same era as our ancestors? He’s just a plaything in our hands; watching him struggle is quite entertaining.”

“Hahaha!”

Laughter was heard—if not for special circumstances, they would have easily conquered this world.

Soon, the laughter ceased.

Though they felt he was weak, they wouldn’t slacken in their plans of thousands of years; even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength.

Someone inquired about other matters.

“What about the person who fought with Zhong previously?”

“It’s not very clear; the Peeping Sky Eye in that area dissipated. It’s hard to get news. Should that person be taken seriously?”

“They should be taken seriously, gather information, and once Jiang Yun prevails here, move to deal with him. In a year, that person won’t improve.”

They were also aware of the person who fought Zhong a year ago.

Someone who could battle Zhong needed to be given due attention.

However, tactically and psychologically, they didn’t believe that person could achieve much.

“It is indeed wondrous that such a person appeared; alas, facing us, he can only suffer.”

“If we weren’t rushing ahead of time, by the preset date, things would be simpler, foregoing much effort.”

“This was the prophecy of the ancestors…”

The two wanted to further discuss, but the images sent back by Kui Tian Monarch changed again.

The battle between humans and demons was spectated by the six figures as if watching monkeys perform.

But for Zhong and Jiang Yun, this was a fatal fight.

However, as time passed, Zhong gradually fell into disadvantage.

Jiang Yun’s tactics were rather tricky.

“Oh, is it ending?”

“It seems so. Get ready. If this is successful, the plan will be near completion.”

All six figures were fully prepared.

Once the outcome was determined, they would opportunistically intervene.

Boom!

With a thunderclap crashing down, Zhong’s massive true form was struck from the sky, and the Black Fog Giant Snake hidden in the Void’s Spirit World became lethargic.

“Zhong, now it’s your turn to lose everything.”

Within a year, Jiang Yun had successfully avenged himself, his heart trembling with indescribable excitement; the ancestors’ trump card had indeed been formidable.

“Hahaha!”

He laughed frenziedly.

Zhong wanted to act but was restrained by Jiang Yun.

“Just a little bit more, just a little bit…”

Given three more months, he would have devoured all of the Human Race and ascended to a higher level, unafraid of Jiang Yun!

It seemed now that all he had done was in vain.

Zhong’s hatred reached its peak, all because of the Human Race. If not for them, how could he have embarked on this path?

“You seem quite unconvinced, but unfortunately, you no longer have a chance!”

Saying so, Jiang Yun did not hesitate and struck again.

Endless thunder burst forth, with a boundless Thunder Spear descending, intending to obliterate the area along with Zhong.

But at that moment, a huge black spear appeared on the horizon. The spear, emanating a destructive aura, intercepted the Thunder Spear.

The collision of the two spears restored calm to heaven and earth, leaving only a small collapsed space as evidence of the great battle.

“Who!” Jiang Yun focused his attention.

“You’re the royal ruler of the First Dynasty, Jiang Yun, correct? I thought we’d have no chance to meet, but it seems we’re quite ‘fated’ after all!”

A figure, akin to Pangu, towering and menacing with each step, seemed to shake the heavens. As he approached Jiang Yun, he shrank to a normal human size, the black spear returning to his hand.

Jiang Yun saw clearly who it was.

“Human Race? Could you possibly be a traitor helping this demon?”

The newcomer was naturally Wang Sheng; hearing Jiang Yun’s words, he clenched his black spear and said, “You might have misunderstood something. Today, I only have one purpose here—to…”

“Kill you all!”
