Chapter 968

At this moment, Si Ming's aura appeared on the distant horizon, surging and undisguised, and could be felt from afar.

The Moth Emperor gritted her teeth and said, "This brat is here! We absolutely cannot let him live. Fifty percent of the blame for the extermination of our clan will fall on his shoulders!"

Then he reached up and touched his face, saying with extreme hatred, "And the hatred for my disfigurement is irreconcilable!"

Xing Daozhuang nodded, then a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He swung the Eight Clouds Purple Thunder Halberd at the Moth Emperor, shouting, "You monster! You have a path to heaven but choose not to, you've come to hell by default! How dare you commit violence before me! I will not spare you!"

"Get out of my way!"

The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle, their Lightning Light Palm strikes clashing and their figures flashing incessantly. However Moth Emperor, hampered by her injuries, fell into a disadvantageous position before ten rounds had passed. In a moment of carelessness, she was slashed by the lightning halberd, leaving a wound.

When Si Ming arrived, he witnessed this scene and immediately said, "Senior Uncle, stop this woman! Don't let her escape! She is the last King of Monsters. If we let her go back to the mountains, the consequences will be dire!"

"Don't worry, she can't escape."

Xing Daozhuang summoned thunder to rage in all directions, and electric snakes danced wildly, slowing down the Moth Emperor's offensive. When Si Ming joined the battle, the two sides attacked from both sides, putting the Moth Emperor in a precarious and disheveled situation, seemingly on the verge of defeat.

When they joined forces, Xing Daozhuang noticed that Si Ming's aura was still strong, his Internal Cultivation had not been greatly depleted, and his external injuries were few and far between. He seemed to be full of energy and could fight for another three days and three nights. Considering the Cultivation Body that Si Ming had displayed when fighting against the Demon Race, ordinary special moves were difficult to injure him. Even if he used his ultimate move, he would probably only be injured but not killed, and it would be difficult to keep him alive...

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Xing Daozhuang made a decision in his heart.

After attacking for several more moves, he forced the Moth Emperor back with a move called "Thunder Drives, Lightning Blazes". Then, he stirred up his internal Cultivation Body and pushed it to the limit. He raised his halberd to the sky, and thunder from all directions gathered on the halberd, causing the wind and clouds to change. He was as majestic as a thunder god descending, with divine power as vast as the sea and as majestic as a mountain.

"Eight Thunderbolts Support the Heavens and Slay Ghosts and Gods!"

Seeing this, Si Ming knew that this was going to be decided by an extreme move. He quickly unleashed his sword to entangle Moth Emperor, his Sword Qi erupting like a net to cut off her retreat. Moth Emperor had the same idea, but she pretended to be anxious, screaming repeatedly, as if she wanted to escape but was hampered by her injuries and could not find an opportunity.

Immediately following, Xing Daozhuang charged out with the Thunder Halberd, his entire body enveloped in lightning, his target aimed directly at Si Ming's back.

Just as the Moth Emperor was about to smile, Si Ming flashed forward, his Thunder Halberd piercing straight into her chest, penetrating her body, and then hurtling all the way to the stone pillar in the center of the command platform.

Her smile turned to astonishment, Moth Emperor coughed up blood. A common-sense fact flashed through her mind: once an ultimate move locks on, it cannot be dodged, so the opponent's target from the beginning was...

Why...?

Xing Daozhuang declared righteously, "For our future, you must die here!"

Who are we referring to? The Monster Race? The Human Race? The Heaven's Will Palace?

Meeting Xing Daozhuang's gaze, the Moth Emperor suddenly realized his determination, but she didn't know whether to hate him for his comrade's betrayal or to smile with relief that he had escaped a calamity.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had never truly understood the other person, or if he, like others, had been deceived by his reputation, or if his own failure had driven the other person down this path.

Puzzled, confused.

But none of that matters at this moment.

"Heh, hehe, hehehe..."

The Moth Emperor let out a desolate laugh, stretching out her hands to tightly grasp the Eight Clouds Purple Thunder Halberd, transferring the remaining primal power to the other party. She thought to herself, "Now I've repaid the debt of breaking the seal." At the same time, she sarcastically remarked:

"What a righteous and awe-inspiring Thunder King Xing Daozhuang!"

He suddenly pulled out the Thunder Halberd, and with warm blood still dripping from the tip, drops fell to the ground.

The sorrow in his eyes vanished in an instant. Xing Daozhuang turned away, never looking at the figure nailed to the pillar again. He strode forward toward Si Ming, knowing in his heart that from this day forward, he would always be, and could only be, the Human Race's commander Thunder King Xing Daozhuang!

Parallel World Divine Strategist

(This side quest begins when Si Ming ends up in Nation of Valor and becomes Ba Shenhuang's apprentice.)

Holding the black dragon jade, Nether Lord Hand Seals incantations, summoning the Divine Pillar from the Imaginary Number Space to the material world. Behind him stood Shentu Chuang, Li Shuang, and the Moth Emperor.

Shentu Chuang looked up at the gradually solidifying Divine Pillar and exclaimed, "It's truly magnificent! We can't see the top at all. Could this thing extend all the way into the star field?"

In this life, he did not participate in the "Ambush and Kill Mad Ink" operation and was not injured as a result. He was originally the person in charge of this plan, so he naturally had to participate in the operation. With Shentu Chuang, Nether Lord would naturally not invite Xuan Kai to be his helper.

The Moth Emperor said impatiently, "What are you waiting for? Let's destroy the Divine Pillar quickly, lest things get complicated."

Nether Lord hurriedly said, "Ordinary methods cannot destroy the Divine Pillar, not even Void Returning Great Grandmaster were to intervene, unless one can train their physical body to be as sharp as a divine weapon."

As he spoke, he took out the prepared Wheel of Time Sword and tossed it to the Moth Emperor, saying, "Only top-tier divine weapons can harm the Divine Pillar, and even then, they will have to pay the price of self-destruction. Therefore, you must cherish this opportunity. Even our Remote Heaven Society doesn't have that many divine weapons to spare."

Then, the effects of the Wheel of Time Sword were explained, eliciting a sigh from the Moth Emperor, who then had a sudden inspiration and said, "In that case, those who possess divine weapons should be happy to see the destruction of the Eternal Barrier, right?"

Shentu Chuang laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, at least the Mohist School Sacred Sword can function properly. Otherwise, the Mohist School Grandmaster back then wouldn't have been able to suppress the world single-handedly. Since there's an exception, there might be a second and a third."

Li Shuang said impatiently, "Stop talking about this nonsense, hurry up and finish the mission and go back. I don't want to stay in this stinky place Nation of Valor for long."

Nether Lord's lips curled into a smile as he chuckled, "That being said, we should still wait until the Divine Pillar has fully descended before making a move; otherwise, it's pointless if we miss."

Li Shuang clicked her tongue in disgust and lashed the ground with her whip in frustration.

Seeing this, Nether Lord added, "If you can't let go of your inner turmoil, you'll never take that first step into the Spirit Transformation. That's why, even though I know Nation of Valor is a place of painful memories for you, I still insisted you participate in this operation. Avoiding the problem won't solve anything."

"So, I should thank you?" Li Shuang retorted, dissatisfied.

Shentu Chuang laughed and interjected, "Some of the rules in Nation of Valor are indeed inhumane, even more insidious than those of the Legalist School and Mohist School. They actually force men to study metaphysics..."

Because Li Shuang glared at him with murderous eyes, Shentu Chuang had no choice but to shut up.

The Moth Emperor had no interest in the past of the members of the Remote Heaven Society. The instant the Divine Pillar fully descended, she immediately leaped into the air, unleashing her pent-up power, and wielded the Wheel of Time Sword to slash at the Divine Pillar with all her might.

In that instant, runes suddenly appeared on the ground, the formation was activated, Moth Emperor immediately felt a hundred times the gravity applied to her body, making it difficult to maintain flight and forcing her to crash to the ground.

"It's the Five Elements Primordial Magnetism Grand Array." Nether Lord quickly recognized the array and reminded everyone, "Don't jump into the air unnecessarily. The higher you go, the stronger the gravitational force becomes. Standing on the ground actually provides the least pressure."
