C612 – Yin Tianzi
In this instant, Tianji Zi’s composed demeanor shattered as he gazed toward the courtyard with sheer astonishment.
“Is this even conceivable?”
“How can the essence of reincarnation manifest within Zhang Xuan’s being?”
“Who is Zhang Xuan?”
Tianji Zi realized that the situation had spiraled beyond his control.
“This all traces back to Qihuang!”
Qihuang had persistently provoked Zhang Xuan, drawing Tianji Zi’s attention, but he had neglected to monitor Zhang Xuan’s growth. Zhang Xuan’s progress had slipped from his grasp.
“No, I must assess him. If there’s a chance…”
Tianji Zi voiced his intention and was about to step forward.
Suddenly, a sense of trepidation welled up within him, and his expression subtly shifted.
……
Burial World.
Within a shadowy valley, a blood pool occupied its center, brimming with ebon-hued fluid that ebbed like tides.
Several individuals stood in the valley, and each time they cast their gaze upon the blood pool, reverence flickered in their eyes.
“Elder Brother, how many years has the Master remained in seclusion? Why hasn’t he achieved a breakthrough yet?”
“Well, if attaining a breakthrough were that straightforward, the Master wouldn’t need to seclude himself!”
“Nevertheless, these past years, those Vitality lifeforms have been causing occasional disturbances. While it’s not a major issue, it’s akin to a mosquito incessantly buzzing around your ear, unsettling your thoughts.”
“True, but this time, individuals from the Chaotic Broken World appear to be genuinely serious. Those who ventured in were all highly formidable. The Chief Commander dispatched reinforcements, but they met their demise.”
“Sigh, the reinforcements the Chief Commander sent were hardly impressive. Instead of the mindless Ghost Monarch, they were the smuggled rats, utterly lacking in strength. How could they gauge the might of the Chaotic Broken World?”
“We’re left with no alternative. This aligns with the accord between the Master and that aged troublemaker Tianji Zi. The Chief Commander mustn’t go against it. Otherwise, it would be a direct affront to the Master’s authority.”
“Damn it. We can’t venture outside, or else we’d let Wutian gain recognition!”
“Wutian is nothing in front of us!”
“What’s funny is that those new Death Monarch outside think that his strength is invincible. I really hope that Sir will appear and let us go out. That way, those trash will know what it means to have someone stronger than them!”
“Weng!”
As these people were discussing, suddenly, a Great Dao pierced through the sky. That oppressive Qi made these people stop talking, and they looked at the Great Dao in shock.
“Is that Tianji Zi?”
“It should be him. Apart from him, who else in the Chaotic World can have such a terrifying Qi?”
“It doesn’t look like him. His strength doesn’t seem to be on par with Tianji Zi’s!”
“What are you talking about? Can you sense the aura of an expert like Tianji Zi?”
“It really doesn’t seem like it. I can’t tell the strength of the Qi, but it shouldn’t be Tianji Zi’s Qi.”
“Does this mean that a new supreme expert has appeared in the Chaotic Broken World? Zhang Hao?”
When they heard the name Zhang Hao, the people in the valley couldn’t help but shiver, as if they had just witnessed a horrifying scene.
“I heard that Zhang Hao’s Qi has appeared in Wutian’s territory. Have you found out about it?”
“The chief commander has already gone there, but he found nothing. When he went there, the enemy had already disappeared!”
“If it is really Zhang Hao, it is normal that the chief commander didn’t find anything. After all, Zhang Hao is an existence that even the master praised.”
“There are still experts in the Chaotic Broken World. Zhang Hao, Tianji Zi, and Zhang Xuan, who just came out of nowhere, are not ordinary people. We need to face them with caution.”
While the crowd was discussing amongst themselves, one of them suddenly spoke.
“Zhang Xuan?”
Upon hearing this name, some frowned, some disapproved, and some seemed to have never heard of this name before.
“Gulp! Gulp!”
At this moment, bubbles appeared in the sea of blood, and the water of the sea of blood flipped upwards.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, their expressions became extremely respectful. Their eyes were filled with anticipation.
A powerful aura that seemed to be able to penetrate the heavens and earth spread out. The entire valley began to shake. However, not only were the people in the valley not afraid, they were even more respectful.
Everyone’s gaze looked towards the depths of the sea of blood.
“Gudong gudong!”
Bubbles emerged from the sea of blood one after another. White bones floated up and slowly condensed into a throne.
A human figure slowly appeared on the throne. An extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared. It surged violently and the world howled. It seemed to be submitting to this person.
Magma emerged from the sea of blood. The surrounding temperature instantly increased by tens of thousands of times. The entire valley was dyed red.
Those who were close to the sea of blood could not help but take a few dozen steps back before feeling a little better. However, they still found it difficult to resist.
The figure slowly solidified. Around him, ghosts appeared and surrounded him. Roars could be heard incessantly.
Just as the people around him could not hold on any longer, that person finally retracted his aura.
“This subordinate greets the Emperor!”
“Greetings the Emperor!”
Everyone in the valley looked at the figure on the throne with fanatical eyes, as if that figure was the god in their hearts.
The figure was surrounded by a dense Spiritual Energy. It was as if clouds were floating around him, making it difficult to see his real face.
This person didn’t pay attention to the people around him. Instead, he looked at the Great Dao in the Void.
“Turn… turn back!?”
His voice carried an unpleasant stench, akin to the grating of two corroded metal surfaces. Anyone who heard it would experience an unsettling sensation, as if a multitude of ants were crawling within their hearts.
“Who… could it be? Tianji Zi? Or… Zhang Hao? Jiang… Zheng!”
“Present!”
Upon hearing the king’s summons, an individual promptly advanced with enthusiasm and knelt down respectfully upon the ground, hands clasped, body trembling.
“Proceed… Investigate! In case… Tianji Zi… has withdrawn!”
The figure enunciated each word meticulously, as though grappling with a loss of fluency in speech.
“Understood, Your Majesty!”
Jiang Zheng was overwhelmed with excitement, almost on the verge of tears. The Emperor had finally issued the command!
Envious glances from the onlookers were cast upon Jiang Zheng, wishing they could trade places with him and serve the Emperor.
Chin held high, Jiang Zheng noticed the envious stares and swelled with pride. He turned and a concealed passageway materialized, enveloping his figure. In full view of everyone, he gradually vanished.
“Ten… Attendants, where are you?” The figure’s tone had notably returned to normalcy.
In response to the inquiry, ten individuals with porcelain-like faces and eunuch attire emerged and knelt before the figure.
“Locate… Zhang Hao!” The command was issued.
“Certainly!”
The Ten Attendants’ voices were sharp, but their demeanor exuded cheerfulness as they turned and departed.
“Li Hai, please elucidate!”
In response to this request, a man stepped forward from the crowd and divulged the events that had unfolded in the Burial World over the years.
Upon hearing the man’s account, the figure’s expression grew graver.
Could it be that the earlier individual wasn’t Tianji Zi after all?
