Chapter 866: Chapter 37: Just Wait for Extinction
Zhou Yan consecutively killed fourteen Venerables and then bloodily devoured their Spirits. Even the high-level existence known as the Supreme Venerable was no more than an ant in Zhou Yan’s eyes, a scene that finally made people recall the once terrifying Lei Yan King.
Suddenly, everyone’s expressions became unpredictable.
Some cultivators even recalled the terrifying bloody methods of Lei Yan King and were somewhat trembling with fear.
With Zhou Yan’s current display and invincible and bloody methods, today’s Jiang family will likely undergo a huge change!
"Hmph, your methods are just like these. Though you grow stronger as you fight, your duration is not that long, you can’t keep up with the drain!"
"Demon Heart Sword Body, Ancient Evil Heart, Soul Path Vast Qi, these are enough for me to sustain battles through wars. Combined with the Immortal Throne and endless soul power, the Jiang family, today I am determined to destroy it!"
"And all of this, will start with your death, Jiang He!"
"Jiang He, the Clan Leader of the Returning True Clan, ’Returning Truth Venerable,’ what else do you have to say? All the useless ones of the Jiang family, I don’t fear telling you that my memory as Lei Yan King has long since been restored, and your esteemed ancestor Jiang He has long fallen. The person before you is one of the top Venerables of the Plane—the Clan Leader of the Ten Thousand Spirits Returning True Clan, Returning Truth Venerable! You are being used and still unaware, it’s truly pathetic!"
Zhou Yan sneered but suddenly withdrew the Throne, simultaneously merging all Sword Bodies. The Xuanyuan Sword was completely devoured by Zhou Yan, as if all energy gathered in one, all means eventually converged into unity.
Jiang He didn’t have time to argue because Zhou Yan’s move was truly earth-shattering, full of killing intent.
Endless immortal aura converged into Zhou Yan’s soul, and the soul further released the Tao Rules of condensing a Soul Baby, as if he could create his own Heavenly Dao rules.
This aura was both terrifying and shocking.
"Jiang He, die!"
Zhou Yan shouted angrily, and then an incredibly strong attack was about to explode in an instant.
Jiang He didn’t dare to be careless and in an instant exhibited an extreme defense, almost simultaneously employing the black spear to the limit, his expression extremely solemn.
But at this moment, the Void suddenly trembled, the Flame Throne retreating back like a trailing light, seeming very slow, yet very rapid.
"Hmm? Trying to escape? Can you escape?!"
Jiang He felt a pang in his heart, immediately realizing he had been tricked; Zhou Yan was pretending to be strong, reaching a peak then declining, already with not much combat power.
Jiang He immediately forced his hand, slashing the Heavenly Vault, shattering the Star River, aiming to kill Zhou Yan and turn him into dust.
At this point, he could no longer hold back.
Yet at this time, Zhou Yan’s figure paused, suddenly stagnantly standing, the Swallowing Heaven Divine Skill abruptly executed, devouring all energy of this earth-shattering attack and simultaneously connecting his own attack, merging them into one, striking towards the trajectory of the Flame Throne.
"Boom—"
A dull sound echoed, and this Star Domain directly collapsed, with the trajectory of the Flame Throne instantly severed, overturned, the Void broke but then restored, yet the trajectory of the Flame Throne had already been disrupted, afterwards quickly plunged into an endless unknown blue tunnel, shattered and gone.
...
Ripples of water, the Void floats.
This battle, at its most exciting and fiery moment, came to an end, with no one knowing Zhou Yan would have such a means of escape, nor that Zhou Yan still managed to calculate Jiang He once more upon leaving, using the energy of Jiang He’s destructive blow to open the passage route for the Immortal Throne.
This means that Zhou Yan will be completely lost within the Great Domain, taking with him the Holy Daughter, Ping’er, Zhou Ying, and Xiong Ba, entering an unknown region, no longer existing in any plot.
The Holy Daughter’s departure will inevitably interrupt the core plan of the Jiang family.
Moreover, the loss of the Ancient Evil Heart made the countless years of preparation of the Jiang family completely dissipate into nothingness, gravely wounding their Primordial Energy.
Added to the fall of the Fourteen Great Sword Masters—this battle left all the spectating cultivators in silent contemplation, sighing wistfully.
Jiang He trembled, staring dumbfoundedly at the shattered Star River and chaotic channel of rules, as if suddenly aged hundreds of years.
"It’s over... really over. Have I truly done wrong? But if I didn’t do this, the future..."
"Forget it, the future, the plan has utterly collapsed, there is utterly no future to speak of."
"Endless years of effort, ultimately went up in smoke."
"I have done my best, and have no regrets, those destined to come, are no longer my concern now."
Jiang He’s voice quivered, with endless sighs and regrets.
His once jet-black hair suddenly turned entirely white, as white as snow.
He sighed heavily, seeming to have lost all interest in everything.
"Esteemed Ancestor, Tianxin’s sins are unforgivable."
Jiang Tianxin suddenly knelt down, continuously kowtowing.
All concerns of face, dignity, no longer mattered.
Jiang He merely stared at Jiang Tianxin blandly, saying nothing, and merely sighed once more.
"Esteemed Ancestor, Tianxin’s sins are unforgivable, Tianxin was foolish, led around in circles by others—"
"When we plot against others, one day we will also be plotted against. I originally thought that controlling the rules of a Heaven and Earth meant being the Sovereign of that Heaven and Earth, but now..."
Jiang He fell silent.
All the cultivators also fell silent.
"Fate sometimes is so laughable, seeming to be in control of fate, but in actuality, it makes you believe so, in reality, fate still controls us. Fate gives us a chance to strive, but we never achieve it, the truth is, fate never gave us a chance, or rather, the truth of fate is we just cannot achieve it.
Our Jiang family has imprisoned many breeding grounds, trying to calculate a perfect rule from endless rules, but each world is like a cycle, similar to the True Void Heavenly Prohibition.
Perhaps we all are merely pieces in the ’True Void Game,’ bestowed with thoughts we should have?
Of course, this is a metaphor, not fact. But now Ancestor truly is tired, and cares for nothing else.
From now on I will focus on Enlightenment, matters of the Sacrificial Heaven Domain are none of our concern anymore, let them know, we have done our best and that is good enough."
"Moreover, starting now, all breeding grounds under the Jiang family will be released from Sealing, all enslaved souls will be freed. All suppressed enemies will be released.
The Jiang family will seal their mountains, preparing to embrace the future Nine Origin Reincarnation."
"When that time comes, we can just wait for extinction."
"Time is running out."
Jiang He seemed to speak to himself, suddenly saying much, then just disappeared like that.
Jiang family, and the rest of those cultivators, were all stunned on the spot, taking a long time to come to their senses.
"Ying Venerable..."
Jiang Tianxin’s mood was low, eyes red as he looked towards Feng Yingsha.
After Jiang He, now only she had the authority to lead.
"Do as the esteemed ancestor said. Further, the things Zhou Yan spoke are just words meant to distract everyone, nothing to take seriously."
Feng Yingsha sighed and said.
Beside her, Jiang Mingyue’s gaze was complex, not knowing what she was contemplating.
