"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
"..."
The sound of a sword echoed, and a terrifying sword light exploded on the green, tattered figure, the sharp Sword Qi constantly slicing through its body.
Under the onslaught of these Sword Qi, space ceased to exist, and everything was annihilated.
Even Peak Quasi-Emperor expert could only desperately await death when faced with any Sword Qi.
The green, tattered figure, though cut by such terrifying Sword Qi, seemed unaffected and continued charging towards Ji Zining.
The hatred in his eyes intensified as he drew closer to Ji Zining.
It wasn't until the Abyssal Spirit Hall collapsed that its advancing body was slammed down from the sky.
"Boom! Rumble!"
The massive Abyssal Spirit Hall crashed to the ground with a deafening roar.
The immense power caused the surrounding enormous tables and chairs to be affected, turning them into dust.
Boundless imperial might erupted above the Abyssal Spirit Hall, relentlessly crushing downwards.
Beneath the Abyssal Spirit Hall, a tattered green figure struggled desperately, each struggle causing the Abyssal Spirit Hall to shake violently.
It was as if even the Abyssal Spirit Hall, with its Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon level, could not suppress it despite its best efforts.
" Abyssal Spirit Hall! Ancient Emperor Demon Wheel! You're still alive! I remember I obliterated your soul back then!"
"How could you possibly not be dead?!"
The sound resounded throughout the hall, exploding in Ji Zining's ears.
Upon hearing these words, Ji Zining hardened.
Does this guy know the Demon Wheel Ancient Emperor Jun Yi?
Arriving at the Abyssal Spirit Hall, Ji Zining glanced down at the green, tattered figure.
"Do you know the Ancient Emperor Demon Wheel?"
The tattered green figure struggled to raise its head and glared angrily at Ji Zining.
"Of course I know them. They wanted to drive me out when I first entered the Chaos."
"Unfortunately, they overestimated their strength, even though I couldn't fully utilize it at the time."
They were all utterly slaughtered by me, their souls completely annihilated.
"Now that his Abyssal Spirit Hall is here, it must be because you obtained his imperial weapon inheritance, right?"
"Young lady of the human race, you've certainly found a fortunate one. I see you have considerable talent; how about we make a deal?"
As they spoke, the green, tattered figure suddenly changed his expression, becoming kind and gentle.
Ji Zining raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Oh? What do you want to discuss?"
As she spoke, Ji Zining was also channeling spiritual power into the Abyssal Spirit Hall to ensure that its suppressive power remained undiminished.
Although she didn't know what this guy wanted to say or what kind of schemes he was plotting, Ji Zining only needed to ensure that she kept him under control.
The green, tattered figure froze its face into a human form.
He forced a smile at Ji Zining that looked more like a grimace.
"Your current strength is practically invincible in this chaos. You will help me restore my strength and status."
"Once I recover, I'll take you away from this chaos to a wider world, how about that?"
"Trust me, this is a sure-fire way to make money!"
As if afraid that Ji Zining wouldn't believe it, the tattered green figure quickly added.
"No matter what, I am a powerful figure above the Great Emperor, and I cannot go back on my word."
"Your talent is extraordinary, unlike the other beings in this chaotic world. You shouldn't spend your entire life in this cage-like world."
"Your future lies beyond chaos!"
After hearing the words of the green, tattered figure, Ji Zining couldn't help but show an amused expression.
"Are you so sure I'll help you? If I'm not mistaken..."
"To restore your strength, condition, and even your rank, it would probably require the sacrifice of countless lives."
The wronged spirits she had encountered earlier told Ji Zining that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Beyond the chaos, Ji Zining truly yearned for it, and she wasn't the only one; any cultivator would know this.
Everyone yearns for that world beyond chaos.
But going to that world requires betraying your own world. Sorry, Ji Zining isn't that shameless.
Not to mention, can we really believe everything this guy says?
Don't let yourself end up helping Him regain His strength at the cost of everything.
In the end, not only will you end up with nothing, but you might also lose your life!
Seeing Ji Zining's amused expression, the tattered green figure instantly became full of confidence.
Just as He had guessed, every living being desires to become stronger!
This successor of the Empress Linglong might be the key to breaking the deadlock.
Having slumbered for countless years, it has recently awakened, and opportunities have presented themselves to it just as it was preparing to do something.
This is because He didn't want Him to perish in this chaos!
"Cultivation, cultivation—isn't it all about becoming stronger? I can make you stronger!"
"Of course, this power comes at a price. You only need to let me devour all the living beings in this world, and I will regain my Great Emperor- level strength."
"After that, I will devour all living beings in All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and my status and full power will be completely restored!"
"At that time, I will have enough power to take you away from this chaos! To a much larger world!"
"They are merely chaotic beings; they are no loss to you. What you gain, however, is an even more limitless future!"
At first Ji Zining had a smile on her face, but as time went on, although the smile remained, it was filled with a cold, icy glint.
He devoured the beings of this realm to restore his strength Great Emperor, and then devoured all the beings in all the All Heavens and Myriad Realms to restore his peak strength and status.
That's a brilliant plan!
The green, tattered figure, who was speaking enthusiastically, suddenly stopped, looked up, and glanced at Ji Zining's expression.
"Little girl, why do you look like that? None of what I've said has cost you anything."
"All you need to do is lead me to devour all the living beings in this world; you don't need to do anything else."
Ji Zining's smile vanished completely, and she glanced at the green, tattered figure with pity.
"You're really pathetic!"
"Besides your immense strength, you have nothing. You have nothing, so naturally you won't understand that power is never meant for possession and aggression."
"The true meaning of power is protection! I want to protect everything I care about!"
"And you, you want to destroy all of this. Tell me, how should I treat you?"
"That ugly fellow who once possessed strength surpassing that of Great Emperor?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the green, tattered figure froze, its expression shifting to a human face before beginning to change again.
You're kidding me!
"How dare you, a mere ant in the chaos, trick me!"
"Boom!"
As they spoke, the tattered green figure began to struggle again.
However, His power was only slightly stronger than that of Peak Quasi-Emperor, and did not reach the level of Great Emperor.
Under the suppression of the Imperial Weapon Abyssal Spirit Hall, which was empowered by Ji Zining,
Despite their desperate struggles, they could only cause the Abyssal Spirit Hall to shake continuously, unable to break free completely.
Ji Zining ignored the howling of the tattered green figure, glanced down at the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and smiled faintly.
"Let the two of us accomplish something that no living being has ever done since the beginning of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms."
"Completely annihilate this pathetic fellow who claims to have transcended chaos!"
"Clang!"
A sword's cry rang out, Immortal-Slaying Sword trembled as if in response.
Seeing this, Ji Zining's smile grew even wider.
"Aren't you already eager to get started?"
This green, tattered figure was undeniably powerful, especially its physical body, which was difficult to cut apart.
Even the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique, which he had just unleashed at full power, could only leave some scratches on his skin.
Killing this guy completely would undoubtedly be difficult.
No matter how difficult it is, Ji Zining is determined to kill him completely here today!
Fortunately, the Abyss Abyssal Spirit Hall had suppressed Him beforehand when He was caught off guard and enraged; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Putting everything else aside, this secret realm, and even the entire Heavenly Pride Battlefield, will be completely destroyed!
Upon hearing Ji Zining's words, the green, tattered figure became even angrier, and even revealed a mocking expression.
"Kill me completely? A First-Level Quasi-Emperor dares to dream of killing me completely?"
"What a joke!"
Ji Zining withdrew her gaze from the Immortal-Slaying Sword and looked calmly at the green, tattered figure.
Whether it's a joke or not, you'll find out soon enough. Don't worry, I have plenty of time to play along!
