Free Web NovelChapter 634: Chapter 417: The Defeat and Annihilation of the Worlds (Part 2)
...
"I’m fading, my disciple. Go, find others of our kind."
"The world is vast... surely there must be others who are still alive..." The mentor gazed at the sky for the last time, as if trying to see the vision of the world as it used to be described by his own master.
Rumor has it that within the sky, Haoyang exists.
Haoyang, carrying hope and warmth...
But after the mentor’s death, the last glimmer of hope in his disciple’s eyes vanished, turning the gaze as bleak and desolate as the shattered world around him.
From then on, it’s been over thirty years, wandering this land.
He had never found a companion.
Yet his cultivation slowly increased.
The young man’s body moved slowly through the land.
He was searching for companions.
No telling how much time had passed.
The young man’s body trembled slightly.
He had spotted a figure.
"You..."
With a raspy and unfamiliar voice, he spoke.
He chased after.
The figure turned around, revealing a face made entirely of bones.
"Swipe"
The sword flashed.
Once again, the young man effortlessly cut the opponent in half.
Yet hope was shattered once more.
Hope, it was the most precious gift from his mentor.
The young man’s expression became somewhat numb.
Suddenly, another dark-robed figure appeared before him.
The young man was slightly startled.
He unexpectedly felt a sense of familiarity.
The gaze of this mysterious dark-robed figure was reminiscent of his mentor’s gaze.
Gentle, yet more serene and indifferent.
Zhong Heng looked at the young man before him, sighing softly.
He extended his hand.
The young man almost uncontrollably drew closer.
Compassion showed in Zhong Heng’s eyes.
In his vision.
The young man before him no longer had a trace of vitality.
Yet quite special, caught between life and death.
The young man’s expression suddenly became ferocious, veins burst across his face.
His hair transformed into wriggling worms.
Zhong Heng sighed again, placing his hand upon the young man’s head.
Everything unusual on the young man’s body disappeared instantaneously.
"Evergreen Divine Wood Body and Wood Celestial Spirit Root..."
"In this small world such Celestial Pride emerges, but alas."
One can surmise that this world has reached its final struggle.
Compelled to birth a peerless Celestial Pride, hoping for him to bring salvation.
Alas, it failed.
The passage of time on this young man’s body is already over five thousand years old.
This means that over five thousand years ago, this world started crumbling.
This young man left only his last obsession.
Numbly and mechanically repeating actions of his past life in this realm.
A generation of Celestial Pride, a genius even within the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, with great potential to reach Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation.
Only to fall in this small world.
"Enough."
Radiance began to bloom on Zhong Heng’s body.
In an instant, a bright sun ascended over the land.
The gloom in the sky began to dissipate.
The cold and desolation receded.
Divine Light radiated from Zhong Heng.
Within the light, the outlines of birds, beasts, and all living beings flickered.
Light shone upon this realm, striking the last remnant of World Will within.
Ye Lian stared blankly at the figure before him.
More memories began to surface in his mind.
Being adopted by his mentor.
His mentor lamenting that he was born at the wrong time and naming him Ye Lian.
A prodigy in cultivation.
The demise of his sect.
Wandering the continent.
Eventually being tainted by Ghost Qi, while his Divine Body awakened, trapping him between life and death.
"Child, truly, you are pitiful."
"This place truly is not where you should have been born."
"The sun, that place is filled with hope and vitality."
"I never saw the sun either, but if you ever do, you’ll recognize it at first glance..."
"Perhaps only immortals can save this world that has entered terminal illness..."
Ye Lian stared blankly at the figure before him.
"The sun..."
Zhong Heng ascended to the sky, like a true sun.
Ye Lian’s body also soared.
Zhong Heng’s hand once again rested on Ye Lian’s head.
An Immortal caressed my head, and tied my hair to grant immortality.
"Oh, will of this realm, use your last strength to fulfill your final hope."
Vast power surged from the Space Magic Cube.
In this bleak world, the final World Will began to awaken.
Ye Lian’s body started to renew.
Vitality reappeared upon him.
Pure cultivation began to rise.
The grand power of Divinity Transformation surged forth, and the Five Elements Divine Light started to cleanse this ruined world.
"Boom————"
The world shattered.
Amid the Five Elements Divine Light.
Zhong Heng emerged carrying a figure from within.
In a flash, he arrived in another world.
This world seemed to be a place Zhong Heng had visited long ago.
Soon, hundreds gathered.
"Welcome, Immortal."
This was the Human Race faction in this realm, now able to attack the evil spirits in one fell swoop with Zhong Heng’s aid.
Thus, they called him Immortal.
"This is the last person I rescued from a world that had perished."
"Take good care of him."
Zhong Heng spoke impassively.
Their expressions changed slightly, Zhong Heng’s words held much weight.
They couldn’t help but ponder if without Zhong Heng this world might have perished too.
They showed even greater respect.
As they were about to speak, Zhong Heng’s figure had vanished.
Ye Lian looked around, bewildered.
The surrounding people resembled him, flesh and blood of the Human Race.
Two hot tears from Ye Lian’s eyes fell.
Everyone curiously looked at Ye Lian.
Prompted by their initiative, Ye Lian began to speak, sharing all he knew.
"That... senior... is the sun..." Ye Lian spoke in the common language of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
These fragment world humans mainly spoke the common language too.
Yet, with development, each place held unique accents.
But they could all understand Ye Lian.
"The sun... that is the Immortal..."
Their faces bore reverence.
"Immortal..."
Ye Lian murmured.
"Moreover... the Immortal casually mentioned having saved over a hundred worlds like ours..."
"The Immortal said the ruin of our world was caused by a fiend deep in the void."
"The Immortal emerged to defeat the fiend and save our world..."
Many were flushed, speaking with overwhelming excitement.
Zhong Heng only shared a few words to an excellent Cultivation Seedling here, yet those cultivators were able to envision elaborate tales.
Their words reached Zhong Heng’s ears.
His figure fully detached from the world.
"The worlds closer to the source of malice... they are already dead."
"The world Ye Lian was in had the last trace of vitality remaining..."
Zhong Heng’s expression grew solemn.
Ye Lian’s world might have kept the last trace of World Will due to Ye Lian himself.
While other worlds perished entirely, their World Will vanished.
The remaining trace of World Will in Ye Lian’s world shattered during the rebirth, and Zhong Heng destroyed it completely in exchange.
If it were left to Zhong Heng’s own volition, unless he mastered Life and Death Dao...
Otherwise, reversing death to life would be impossible, only the world will intertwined with Ye Lian could accomplish it.
"Since you are all dead, your remains need not exist."
Coldness lay upon Zhong Heng’s face.
His actions bore the intent to probe the origin of malice.
Yet the source of malice remained indifferent to Zhong Heng.
From initial interference to later acting as a savior, even destroying a world in its presence...
The source of malice made no move at all.
"If that’s the case, then I’ll knock on your door."
Five Elements Divine Light shimmered around Zhong Heng.
As he destroyed worlds, the merit gained strengthened Zhong Heng’s resolve even further.
