Chapter 238: The Dagger is Revealed

~13 min read 2,505 words

Zero-frame start, no front swing.

Straight to the point, deafening, so that there is no way to hide and no way to defend.

Thus, in Jian Yuan's increasingly subtle eyes, a piece of awkward silence came suddenly.

"..."

Ji Jue's smile twitched, "Accident, it's all an accident, Grandmaster."

Skull translation: "Now it's good, satisfied? Everyone is awkward?"

"Hehe."

Jian Yuan just smiled slightly.

The skull laughed the same way, only the meaning seemed to be different.

"Sometimes, it's a good thing."

He said, "Very good, you have started to learn to use the curiosity of artisans."

"Besides this, I am actually still a bit curious."

Ji Jue sighed softly, finally revealing the dagger, no longer hiding: "Grandmaster, you went to great lengths and mobilized the crowd to run to Quancheng, mixed with that bunch of guys, and took time out of your busy schedule to toss a small fry like me for so long, what exactly do you intend to do?"

"Just for this, why go to such great lengths?"

Jian Yuan smiled contemptuously, holding up the skull in his hand, "It's nothing more than a step toward exhausting the Embers Stagnant Rot path, what's so strange about that?"

In the silence, the skull was silent.

The spiritual quality circuits in it had no traces of touch, let alone any defense and disguise, and it disdained lies and disguise.

Ji Jue was also silent, and after a long time, sighed silently.

"Why go to such lengths?"

"Why not go to such lengths?"

Jian Yuan grinned mockingly: "Whether in the Association or the Profound, let alone the difference between Embers and Stagnant Rot... from the fire-stealing thieves of ancient times to alchemists, and then to today's artisans, they are just changing a name, is there any difference?

No, counting the supreme goods or the evil and foolish, anyone who has achieved something is a madman, a fool, and a disaster who places their own ambition, foolish thoughts, and beautiful dreams above reality."

"The world is created by such people, Ji Jue."

Jian Yuan said decisively: "One day, if you are fortunate enough to stand in such a position, maybe you will be even crazier than them. If you can't learn, can't bear it, can't endure it, then give up your illusions early and go back to be an ordinary person.

At least that can be called 'happiness' for you."

Ji Jue didn't answer.

Jian Yuan also looked back slightly, as if listening to something, and after a long time, sneered inexplicably, and said to someone: "Then bear the consequences."

Communication cut off.

And Jian Yuan looked up slightly, his gaze piercing through the workshop, looking into the distance.

"The time has almost come."

He threw the skull back into Ji Jue's arms and waved his fingers, "I'll let you see, what the so-called supreme good and evil foolishness have turned this world into."

At that moment, the invisible shielding was erased.

Then, an unprecedented high-pitched roar erupted from the distance, one after another, shaking like a tide, vast and coming.

Dust fell, falling on Ji Jue's mottled hair.

He lifted his eyes, looking at the huge floor-to-ceiling window that slowly rose from the wall, and outside the window, the sky where fierce light crisscrossed, pale color and gloomy rainbow light collided, stimulating countless ripples and broken light, falling toward the earth.

The light spots as light as snow landed, disintegrating silently, but immediately after, vast waves spread, raging, 'decomposing' everything they passed.

No sound, no movement.

Only silent collapse and dissipation.

"See? That is the Heavenly Wedge of the Heavenly Man. Tao Cheng has been assimilated by the Heavenly Abyss for so many years, his humanity has dissipated, and his time is running out, but before completely returning to the Heavenly Abyss, he can indeed drag a few people to be buried with him.

After making up his mind, just one person can suppress Lu Changsheng and those old dogs of the Wulou Temple."

Vast pure white is almost infinite, filling the sky, it is countless gloomy rainbow lights pressing in the center, advancing inch by inch inward. Quancheng's sky is divided into two, layers of colors overlap, teeth interlocking with each other, looking dizzying and hard to understand.

What can be felt is only the aftermath of the collision between the Heavenly Abyss's decree and the Great Evil's aura.

Just the aftermath is enough to make the whole Quancheng shake.

And right in front of the opened window, Jian Yuan stood by and watched, occasionally raising his hand and pointing: "North, that piece of surging white fog, should be the Lou family's Encircled Realm · Five Buildings and Twelve Cities.

Based on metamorphosis, ruling the blessing of mirror and entropy, in terms of structure, it is enough to rank among the top level of the Lou family's Chosen Ones in history, it should be the woman in charge today, right?

Hmm, coming toward this side, it should be aimed at me and you. The stubborn fool of the metamorphosis lineage is indeed vengeful, unfortunately, too far."

Jian Yuan sighed contemptuously and didn't take it to heart, his eyes falling on the strange cloud layer in the west, "The Yu family's Matrix · Frost Descent, it does have a bit of the winter's killing aura, unfortunately, each generation is worse than the last, only having the form.

Hmm, the one on the left is more worth watching, the Tong family's Encircled Realm · Past Books, all things are divided into black and white, can be written, modified, and guided at will, it is a true transmission.

I remember it seems to be called, Tong Ting? Borrowing strength to hit, but not showing himself, sitting steadily in the referee's seat, it is the same look as his father."

Ji Jue looked in the direction he pointed, in that area where all colors faded leaving only black and white, he couldn't see any earth-shattering changes, calm as a background board.

But it was silently eroding and expanding its own area, letting the evil things and disaster beasts that broke in rage and destroy, but the deeper they went, the more they destroyed, the stranger their own colors and appearance became, until in the end, they had no strength to struggle, merged into the Ink Realm, and turned into a corner of the big freehand brushwork.

And more striking are clusters of blood-fire colors, like meteorites, driving straight in, crisscrossing, raging and colliding.

"The dogs of the Federation military, looking majestic, are all mass-produced goods, it's okay to fill the scene, but it's not worth mentioning when it comes to the critical moment."

Jian Yuan was too lazy to look, his gaze falling further away.

On the main road of Quancheng, that winding road of blood, and the figure walking forward amidst the siege of many evil-transformed people. It is hard to distinguish between male and female, as if shrouded in countless phantoms, not clear.

Wherever it passed, corpses were scattered, bending down casually, picking up weapons from the corpses, waving them at will, imposing destruction, regardless of knives, guns, swords, and halberds, suppressing all resistance of alchemy creations with its own ability, roughly driving them.

It's just that in terms of the efficiency of the damage to alchemy creations...

Ji Jue, the artisan, watched his eyelids jump wildly.

"Another one hiding." Jian Yuan shook his head.

"Who is that?" Ji Jue asked curiously.

"The director of the Yacheng Security Bureau, Lu Yingyue."

Jian Yuan's gaze looked at the end of the street, a few monks who were like giants cast in gold and iron, "Over there, those bald donkeys of Wulou Temple, I'm afraid they won't last long."

Don't know which side he was talking about.

But Ji Jue always felt that those monks were in bad luck, their faces full of death.

And on the other side, layers of phantom light surged, the air was filled with countless images, rising and changing, turning into a tide, infiltrating reality, reversing the boundary between illusion and reality, one after another broken figures crawled out from the shadows behind the graceful girl, as if endless.

"The lunatics of the Heavenly Heart Association, they really brought out the real thing this time." Jian Yuan said indifferently: "Encircled Realm · He Hua Zi Zai."

"What about the Dragon Sacrifice Society?" Ji Jue asked curiously.

"Who knows?"

Jian Yuan didn't care: "Those guys who are wavering, I'm afraid they are calculating some tricks of waiting for a price, can't count on them."

"What about you?"

Ji Jue asked.

Friendly forces charge in front, my department is motionless like a mountain?

o¢〇

"Not yet, but it's coming soon."

Jian Yuan stood by and watched, just watching the earth-shaking scene outside the window.

After too long a mutual probing, the Security Bureau finally launched an offensive, and under Tao Cheng's suppression, the secret infiltration and pollution of the Evil-Transforming Cult for so many years rioted, but it was difficult to rush out.

The aura of the evil of the upper position is like a pillar, supporting this city, but now one pillar after another is restless, appearing cracks.

Fighting against so many evils of the upper position with one person, and even having spare energy to launch a fierce attack on Lu Changsheng, even, looking as if he was at ease, with bottom strength.

That magnificent and vast aura filled everything, like the scorching sun, burning the darkness of Quancheng, bearing all the pressure from the Evil-Transforming Cult head-on.

Now just the fierce light and pure white changing in the sky made Ji Jue's soul sway.

"Is this the Heavenly Man?" He whispered.

"More than that."

Jian Yuan shook his head: "Being assimilated by the supreme good to this point, and still able to maintain humanity, it is truly not easy.

What you see is the power he has implemented by reverse-using the assimilation of the supreme good and borrowing the essence of the Heavenly Abyss. He is positioned as a fulcrum, prying up several times his own weight, and what he has to do is not much."

"What about the price?" Ji Jue pressed.

"Isn't the price everything in front of you?"

Jian Yuan raised his finger, reached out into the air, as if it had entered the sky, and when he withdrew it again, inextinguishable flame light burned on his finger, sizzling.

Extinguished, and quickly reborn, persistently spreading.

Until Jian Yuan waved his hand and cut off a finger, which didn't land, but turned into dust.

"Humanity is like a lamp, even with the strength of a Heavenly Man, how long can he release such light?" Jian Yuan lowered his eyes: "He has stepped on a dead end, and will not stop again regardless of the consequences."

He stared blankly at the brilliant light in the sky, shaking his head with regret:

"Pity."

"Why pretend, Grandmaster?" Ji Jue couldn't help but sneer, "Isn't this a gift from you all?"

"Because of this, doesn't it make it more respectable and sigh-worthy?"

Jian Yuan was expressionless: "Treating such a respectable enemy, one should use all means, regardless of the cost, regardless of the consequences, and fight him with all one's strength."

At that moment, in the sky, the eerie rainbow light that was originally being strangled inch by inch and retreating step by step by the scorching white light suddenly moved, shook, and no longer delayed.

In the infinite gloom, a violent spirit rose into the sky.

Swallowing all the evil-transformed aura in Quancheng, strengthening itself, and colliding with the Heavenly Abyss's decree.

Actually, when Tao Cheng was at his most magnificent and powerful, infinitely close to the Heavenly Abyss... he launched a challenge, overestimating his own strength!

Too reckless, too unwise.

But all things in the world, how can they be discussed purely in terms of pros and cons?

Lu Changsheng laughed.

The hoarse and sharp voice resounded through the world, echoing endlessly.

"Waited for so long, today I finally have the honor to fight Tao Cheng!"

With a heroic opponent like Tao Cheng in front of him, if he avoided the battle and dragged it out, how would he be any different from a rat?

Tao Cheng was silent, the light was scorching.

Thus, the stars swayed, the sky shook, the neon collapsed, and rolled back without overestimating his strength, countless residual lights scattered, sprinkling toward the earth, splashing up pieces of enchanting light halos.

And in the vast struggle above the sky, the slaughter on the earth gradually became white-hot.

Too fast, and too much.

Even, can't see it all...

What can be perceived is only the scarlet that erupted at the moment of body and head separation, like an indelible dye, smeared on the broken roads and ruins.

Completely impossible to ignore.

So much so that, what he saw was a piece of scarlet.

If he hadn't been captured, would he be in it at this moment?

How are Tong Zhiwu and the others now?

Ji Jue tried hard to ponder, but felt his heart was in a mess, and his brain was empty.

Thick smoke rolled, flames spread, and after a long time, Quancheng seemed to be ignited again, as if it came from a nightmare.

Death spread like a tide, and the sound of cracking was endless.

The scarlet dripped bit by bit, overlapping together, just like four cracks extending straight toward the center, wanting to cut, split, and finally...

Completely dismember!

From beginning to end, Jian Yuan watched coldly, motionless.

Watching the Security Bureau drive straight in, destroying all the arrangements with the force of a withered tree, until the end, as if he finally heard the sound from afar.

"Fine, although the heat is still a bit lacking, it doesn't hinder."

He said: "It can begin."

At that moment, the huge workshop appeared with cracks and expanded suddenly!

Everything Ji Jue saw was changing, the hall contracted, the corridor expanded, the building swelled, and within the workshop between existence and non-existence, one spiritual quality furnace after another shook, vast spiritual quality flowed, filling everything.

The alarm sounded, invisible force spread, suppressing everyone in their position, not allowing any departure.

It was like a huge machine starting in an instant, all parts operating in an orderly manner, the top dome cracked, and thousands of spiritual quality circuits spread out.

Blooming like a lotus.

And the whole workshop turned into a giant pillar, rising section by section, casting a pitch-black shadow on the earth.

And on the top floor of the workshop, beside Jian Yuan, Ji Jue saw again the riddled membrane, the ruins sealed in the Rift Realm.

And even in the center of the ruins, the steel wreckage bound by countless pitch-black chains.

The engine that turned pitch-black from the erosion of evil transformation shook like a heart, operating, setting off a frenzy.

It was calling, it was wailing, it was waiting.

Toward him...

At that moment, Ji Jue almost forgot to breathe. ===== CHAPTER 239 =====
