"Chen Wudao, do you really think we're afraid of you?"
Long Tianzhen was furious beyond measure.
Countless bolts of Destiny Tribulation Lightning bombarded the area, seeming to intimidate them, yet also seeming to issue a warning.
"Kill!"
Chen Wudao shouted coldly, without wasting a single word.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
In an instant, the heavens and earth rang with chilling cries of slaughter.
One towering phantom after another charged forth, their reflections cast across the sky.
The sight was immensely shocking.
Before long, wails filled the skies. Blood and corpses continuously fell between worlds, like a rain of bodies.
This... damn, I was getting rich!
Chen Wen watched corpse after corpse fall, and quite a few of them were Sons of Destiny.
"Senior, can these corpses be refined?"
"Of course they can."
At this point, Xian Hongshao changed the subject. "But after people die, their Destiny Luck will gradually fade away as well."
"If you want to refine them, you'd better hurry."
After Xian Hongshao pointed it out, Chen Wen immediately noticed that the Life Souls above those people's heads were rapidly dimming.
And the speed was even faster than he had imagined.
Seeing this, Chen Wen grew somewhat anxious.
These were mountains of gold and silver!
But even in death, the lingering might on those corpses was beyond his reach.
Besides, if he made a move himself, he would be too conspicuous and would easily draw the attention of those with ulterior motives.
The Destiny Crucible was his greatest trump card.
Right, I've got it.
"Big Sis, can you do me a favor?" Chen Wen's eyes turned as he looked toward Chen Hongmian.
Chen Hongmian said, "Speak."
"Help me gather those corpses. I have a great use for them," Chen Wen hurriedly said.
"Alright." Though Chen Hongmian was puzzled, she still agreed.
This sister really was the best. When something happened, she truly stepped up.
Chen Wen could not help but sigh again.
"Stop! Tell me, how do you want to negotiate?"
Once the battle began, Long Tianzhen discovered that the place he was in had long been ambushed by elders and disciples of the Chen and Ye Clans.
Meanwhile, Chen Wudao and Ye Kuang held down the fort from across the way.
Even if he wanted to save them, he could not get involved for the moment.
He could only watch helplessly as his clan's disciples fell one after another, their screams reaching the heavens.
One had to know that quite a few of these disciples and elders were core forces of the clan.
If this continued, the losses would become enormous.
Chen Wudao looked at Long Tianzhen indifferently. "Only now you want peace talks? Too late."
"Keep killing them for me."
"Kill!"
As Chen Wudao spoke, the Killing Intent of the two clans' elders became even denser, like wolves charging into a flock of sheep.
"Chen Wudao, are you determined to fight to the death?" Long Tianzhen roared viciously, his eyes crimson as blood.
Chen Wudao raised a brow. "Weren't we already fighting to the death?"
"Fine, fine, fine. We admit defeat. Tell me, what compensation do you want?"
Long Tianzhen forcefully suppressed his fury and took a deep breath.
"Admit defeat? Compensation?"
Chen Wudao laughed coldly. "Do our Chen and Ye Clans lack those trifling scraps?"
"What I want today is every one of your lives."
"Kill them. Leave none alive."
With that, Chen Wudao suddenly roared, his Killing Intent surging sky-high.
In an instant, slaughter erupted once more.
This time, it was completely one-sided.
Watching elder after elder and disciple after disciple perish, Long Tianzhen's heart bled, while his eyes became incomparably crimson.
"Grandfather, save me..."
"Ancestor, save me..."
"No... Aah!!!"
"..."
Hearing the successive miserable cries coming from all around, Long Tianzhen could no longer contain himself. "You two have gone too far! Die, all of you!"
With a savage roar, he charged toward Chen Wudao and Ye Kuang. Power raged around him, and the heavens and earth trembled without end.
At this moment, he had only one thought: even if he died, he had to make Chen Wudao and Ye Kuang pay the price.
"Old man, are you going, or am I?" Chen Wudao looked at Ye Kuang.
"Today's your stage. You go," Ye Kuang said with a hearty laugh.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Chen Wudao also burst into loud laughter.
Whoosh!
In that instant, Chen Wudao shot forward.
For a time, neither man's strength could gain the upper hand. A stretch of heaven and earth was forcibly split into two, while the horizon cracked apart at terrifying speed.
With every lift of their hands, streams of Imperial Dao Law cleaved downward. Space was violently severed, and boundless turbulent currents raged everywhere.
The more they fought, the more frenzied they became. Layer after layer of realms was blasted apart, falling through the void and turning into falling heavens one after another.
The living beings of the Exotic Space suffered heavy casualties, their corpses floating for millions of miles.
This battle lasted hundreds of breaths before it finally came to an end.
Under Chen Wudao's full-force assault, Long Tianzhen was ultimately slain within the river of worlds.
The body of a Half-step Great Emperor crushed ten thousand years of spacetime and sank into the boundless abyss.
"I... hate this!!!" Long Tianzhen's final voice spread throughout heaven and earth.
In an instant, heaven and earth wailed in grief, while vast thunder rolled and echoed beyond the Ninth Heaven.
Chen Wudao stood alone in the river of time, overlooking it all.
From that day onward, every member of the Destiny Faction who had come here was dead.
What... what level of battle was this?
Jiang Taichu and the others had already gone numb. There were simply no words capable of describing what lay before them.
Because compared to the battle between Chen Badao and Long Aotian,
the battle before them was more than a level higher.
So the peak of this world was actually so far beyond them.
Chen Badao and Ye Chenyan merely exchanged a smile at this.
For this moment, they had waited sixteen years. Their Chen and Ye Clans had waited sixteen years as well.
So this was my grandfather?
He was so powerful, so domineering.
Chen Wen also stared at everything in stunned awe, his surging heart unable to calm for a long time.
"Stop sighing. The Destiny Luck on those corpses will all drain away soon."
Xian Hongshao spoke up, interrupting Chen Wen's wandering thoughts.
Right, Destiny Luck was what mattered most.
Chen Wen immediately came back to his senses. Looking at Chen Hongmian, who had already collected the corpses, he said, "Big Sis, give me the corpses."
"Be careful. Quite a few of those corpses belonged to disciples in the Saint Emperor Realm. Their residual aura alone could kill you."
Chen Hongmian still did not ask what Chen Wen needed them for, merely giving him a reminder.
"Understood, understood," Chen Wen replied repeatedly.
Chen Hongmian said nothing more and directly tossed the Spatial Ring containing the corpses to Chen Wen.
Chen Wen caught the Spatial Ring in one hand and hurriedly activated the Destiny Crucible.
Yellow Destiny refining complete! Congratulations, you have obtained one portion of Yellow Destiny Nirvana Liquid. Yellow Destiny refining complete! Congratulations, you have obtained one portion of Yellow Destiny Nirvana Liquid. Green Destiny refining complete! Congratulations, you have obtained one portion of Green Destiny Nirvana Liquid. ... Purple Destiny refining complete! Congratulations, you have obtained one portion of Purple Destiny Nirvana Liquid.
A string of notification sounds rang out.
Out of several dozen corpses, only ten portions of Destiny Nirvana Liquid remained in the end.
What did this mean? Only ten portions?
Wait, weren't these people all from the Destiny Faction?
Were they messing with me?
Chen Wen was momentarily stunned.
"Hehe, do you really think Sons of Destiny are as common as cabbages on the street?"
Xian Hongshao rolled her eyes at Chen Wen before continuing, "Being strong does not make someone a Son of Destiny. It depends on whether they have that fate."
"Just like the people on your Blue Star. There should be quite a few smart people, right? But can every one of them become immensely wealthy? In the end, it still comes down to fortune in wealth."
"A Son of Destiny has nothing to do with strength or the faction they belong to. What matters is also a person's fate."
"Then what about the rewards for achieving new accomplishments? Why weren't there any of those either?" Chen Wen could not help asking.
"Uh, part of these people's Destiny Luck dissipated. Strictly speaking, this only counts as completing half the accomplishment," Xian Hongshao answered.
"You're playing word games with me?" Chen Wen was speechless. So this could be played like that?
"Those are the rules. I can't do anything about it either."
As she spoke, Xian Hongshao changed the subject. "Don't dwell on it. You'll unlock these accomplishments sooner or later, and the rewards will come."
"Alright." Chen Wen sighed helplessly.
Although he found it regrettable, when he saw that there was a drop of Purple Destiny Nirvana Liquid, he still let out a long breath.
This round had not been for nothing, at least.
At this moment, Chen Badao and Ye Chenyan slowly descended from the air as well.
"Little Wen, you weren't frightened just now, were you?" Ye Chenyan hurried to Chen Wen's side and asked softly.
At this time, Ye Chenyan no longer carried her previous domineering manner.
Chen Wen shook his head. "I just didn't expect my father's clan and my mother's clan to be this strong."
"This is nothing. As long as you're willing, Little Wen, you can walk sideways through this world." Ye Chenyan chuckled softly.
Walk sideways?
Then I loved that.
Chen Wen's eyes immediately lit up.
"Right, Mom, I plan to enter seclusion for a few days," Chen Wen suddenly said.
Right now, he could not wait to find out what the Destiny Nirvana Liquid could do.
"That's perfect. Our whole family will protect your Dao for you," Ye Chenyan quickly said.
A little shrimp entering seclusion, with an entire family of big shots protecting his Dao.
Look, look. This was the importance of being born into the right family.
Jiang Taichu and the others all looked at Chen Wen with envy.
Before you continue
