Chapter 1968: The End of the World
Ji Xiaoxi was still worrying about Zu An when she saw the situation and clapped in excitement, exclaiming, “Big brother Zu is incredible!”
Ji Dengtu’s lower jaw nearly fell to the ground. He was so overwhelmed by what he had witnessed that he didn’t have the spare attention to care about his daughter idolizing Zu An. Just what is that ability? Why have I never seen those weapons before?
The War Priest trembled in disbelief too. The invincible army it had built up over a long time was destroyed just like that. This was a huge blow to it not just psychologically, but physically too, as it had to expend a huge amount of energy to summon the army. Its forces’ swift destruction resulted in its body becoming incomparably weak.
Zu An naturally wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity. There was no way he would hold back against such a strong enemy. He charged toward the War Priest, drew the Tai’e Sword, and unleashed a brilliant burst of sword ki.
The War Priest hurriedly retreated while casting all kinds of protective measures, but due to its weakened condition, its reaction was delayed. All of its defenses were swiftly breached by the sword ki like the spring snow before the majestic sun. Two ugly heads were lopped off, and the War Priest screeched in pain. Only its middle head was left. However, it could only endure the pain, not daring to move in the slightest, as the Tai’e Sword was pressed against its only remaining head.
The sword looked ordinary and antiquated, seemingly devoid of the slightest sharpness, but for some reason, it filled the War Priest with fear. Its body was exceptionally tough, such that normal weapons couldn’t hope to leave a mark on it. And yet, the sword had severed its other two heads as easily as chopping tofu.
“Where are you from?” Zu An asked. He had intentionally spared the War Priest to get answers to his questions.
“I’m from another world, of course. There are many powerful beings like us in the galaxy. We would look for new worlds, invade them, and turn them into our own. This is the norm,” the War Priest answered. At that point, it gritted its teeth. “If not for your world restricting me from descending with my full prowess, the one to die today would have been you.”
You have successfully trolled the War Priest for +990 +990 +990…
Zu An’s eyebrows shot up. He asked, “Your powers are limited by the world you descend into?”
The War Priest harrumphed as it turned its head away.
Zu An didn’t hesitate to lop off one of its ears, saying, “You better obediently answer my question, or else the next thing to be cut off won’t just be an ear.”
The War Priest yelped in pain. It glared at Zu An in resentment, saying, “Kill me if you want to. I have dominated countless worlds. I don’t fear death.”
Zu An said with a scowl, “You should know that living is sometimes more frightening than dying.”
The War Priest sneered, “I have seen more worlds than you; I know that better than you. Even so, I’ll never lower my head to someone from a lower world.”
Zu An was put in a tough spot. It’ll be troublesome if this fellow refuses to talk. He turned to Ji Dengtu and asked, “Old man, do you have medicine to make someone talk?”
Ji Dengtu was put on the spot. He replied, “There are such medicines in the world, but they usually only work on humans. On such a monster…”
Ji Xiaoxi also weighed in on the topic, saying, “Big brother Zu, I tried it earlier, and our poisons don’t work well on these monsters. Even if our poisons did work, we’d need a massive amount for it to work on a body of that size. It’ll be hard to gather that many herbs within a short time.”
Zu An thought that made sense, so he gave up on that thought.
Just then, Ji Dengtu asked, “Why don’t you capture it first? We can find some cultivators skilled in mind control to access its mind and see if we can gather more intelligence from it.”
That spurred a thought in Zu An’s mind. He thought, Mind control?
The War Priest burst into laughter. “Mind control? You measly ants dream of controlling me?”
“That sounds plausible,” Zu An said as he summoned Daji.
A beautiful woman dressed in a white robe appeared. She showed no emotions on her face, but she exuded a natural seductive charm that drew one’s eyes.
Ji Dengtu widened his eyes. He didn’t think that it was possible for a person to seem so innocent, yet devilish at the same time. Even the number one beauty of the capital, Yu Yanluo, is nothing more than this, right?
Ji Xiaoxi looked at the ravishing big sister before her and felt a little insecure. Compared to this big sister, I’m no different from an unripe fruit.
“What a beautiful woman, but you’re dreaming if you think I’d succumb to lust,” the War Priest said. It maintained a calm expression, but it was panicking on the inside.
Why does this woman’s aura resemble that of the legendary Heavenly Devil race? Heavenly Devils are known for feasting on human souls. It is said that even the Buddha nearly succumbed to one back then.
No, that should be impossible. How could there be a Heavenly Devil in such a weak world? Even if she is a Heavenly Devil, she’ll be too weak to control me.
That put his mind at ease.
“Is that so?” Zu An replied with a chuckle. He placed his hand on the War Priest’s body.
The War Priest was initially confused, but its face soon warped in shock. It sensed that Zu An’s hand was like a black hole, siphoning away all of its energy.
“Taotie… You possess Taotie’s bloodline!” the War Priest cried with a quivering voice.
“What Taotie?” Zu An asked. This was the second time he’d heard that name from the monsters.
“The Taotie is one of the most terrifying entities in the galaxy. It devours everything, from powerful planets to even entire planetary systems, but nothing can satiate it…” the War Priest replied with a shaky voice. Just the mention of Taotie filled its eyes with fear.
Zu An was perplexed. He had obtained this skill from the Yinshang secret dungeon. It was a cultivation skill passed down by the imperial family of the Shang Dynasty, so it should have had no ties with the real Taotie.
Zu An quickly absorbed every last bit of the War Priest’s cultivation, and he felt refreshed afterward. To his surprise, he reached Level 75 in a single shot. In his current state, he felt as if he could defeat Zhao Han fair and square even if the latter was at his peak.
Having been sucked dry, the War Priest couldn’t remain afloat in the air and plummeted to the ground. Its body swiftly contracted till it was only around the size of a cow. It crashed heavily onto the ground with a moan, and its breathing became faint.
Zu An had crippled it. On top of that, he crushed its mental defenses via the Hundredwarble’s mental attack and the Tai’e Sword’s Domain of Power. After making thorough preparations, he finally ordered Daji to cast her Voice of the Devil.
He had raised Daji’s cultivation significantly via pills as of late, but there was still a huge gap between her and the War Priest. There was no guarantee this would work in spite of the preparations he had done. He was simply trying whatever means he had at his disposal.
Perhaps due to the War Priest being shaken up by the power of Taotie, it really fell to Daji’s Voice of the Devil. Sensing its dazed consciousness, Zu An took the chance to say, “You mentioned earlier that you couldn’t descend upon this world with your full strength. Explain it.”ReAd lat𝙚st chapters at n0v(𝒆)lbin.co/m Only
The War Priest frowned as it resisted the mind control, but Daji’s eyes lit up as she stroked her pipa and played an enchanting melody. The War Priest’s eyes quickly turned turbid once more. It said, “Every world has its own will, and they resist foreign intervention. Weaker beings are less susceptible to being resisted, as they are unlikely to shake the world’s balance, but stronger beings are unable to descend into such a world with their real body. They can only find a representative in their world or project an avatar in…”
Zu An nodded upon hearing its explanation. Most secret dungeons had restrictions on the strength of the cultivators entering their premises too. That was why sects and academies usually sent their juniors to secret dungeons. Stronger cultivators were rejected by secret dungeons and were refused entry. Its mention of projections made Zu An recall some legends regarding such things, and he wondered if it was similar to that.
“Why did you descend with your real body then?” Zu An asked.
“That’s because there’s a problem with this world,” the War Priest replied.
Zu An, Ji Dengtu, and Ji Xiaoxi were stunned. They asked, “A problem? What is it?”
“Many years ago, a powerful being discovered this new world and even successfully breached its barrier, but for some reason, it sustained severe injuries and was sealed away. However, it managed to send out the coordinates of this world. Not too long ago, we obtained the coordinates too, and thought about coming over to try our luck,” the War Priest said.
Zu An thought about the Fiend races’ Netherworld Seal. I wonder which ancestor of this world sealed it away.
“Are you in cahoots with those attempting to breach the Netherworld Seal?” Zu An asked.
“We are from the same world, but we are from different powers and have different goals. Some tried to enter the world via the spatial crack left behind by that powerful being, only to be met with fierce resistance from the indigenous people. Due to the world’s barrier, we are unable to exert our true strength. Furthermore, the indigenous people have the upper hand in terms of numbers, so we are struggling to make progress.”
Zu An figured that it was talking about the Netherworld Seal.
“Some of us have resorted to finding alternative ways to invade this world. We discovered that this world has spatial pockets known as secret dungeons that are capable of creating small spatial cracks. We suspect they were left behind from the battle with that powerful being,” the War Priest said. “As more of us invade this world, your world barrier will be pushed to its limit and eventually shatter for good. By then, we will be able to freely descend upon this world. It’s a pity I met you as soon as I descended here…”
Zu An’s heart became heavy. He asked, “Are there other spatial cracks? How many of you have slipped in here?” There are so many secret dungeons in this world! It’ll be hard to guard against them like that. If we allow such monsters to invade us, it’ll spell the end of the world.
