Chapter 281: 281. Chapter 280: The Renhuang's Evil-Thought Body

281. Chapter 280: Renhuang Enianshen

Three months later, Western Region, Feng Hai Great Grassland.

The boundless grassland was covered in a layer of emerald green grass; due to the weather, the great grassland here remained green all year round.

"Agong! Look! What is that!"

A young girl with pigtails pointed at a slightly raised highland in the distance. Not far from her, a dozen head of cattle and sheep were grazing. An old man with a hunched back and a basket on his back stood up.

When he looked over and saw the scene in the distance, his face filled with terror. "God of the Grassland! The God of the Grassland is showing his power! Quick! Quick, kneel and kowtow!"

Agong shouted in panic, running over quickly to press the girl's body down. The two knelt on the ground, kowtowing incessantly.

After a few breaths, a breeze swept by, carrying a murky yellow airflow.

All the grass withered in an instant. The withered leaves were carried away by the breeze, and the airflow became even more murky yellow.

Agong paused for a moment, cautiously raised his head, and could not help but collapse to the ground. His face was filled with despair; he wept silently and powerlessly dropped the sickle in his hand.

It was clear that the previously emerald green grassland had vanished, replaced by a barren wasteland, and those dozen head of cattle and sheep were reduced to nothing but piles of White Bone.

A lifetime of hard work was gone just like that.

"Agong, Agong, look over there." The pigtail girl tugged at Agong's sleeve, pointing into the distance.

Agong looked over and saw a human figure walking from afar. The murky yellow airflow stopped before them and swirled backward toward that direction.

The previously barren grassland reappeared after the figure walked past.

The figure walked past the two, paused slightly, gently stroked the girl's head, and then continued forward.

When he walked past the location of the cattle and sheep, the White Bone were reborn, and the cattle and sheep reappeared.

Not until the figure had walked far away did the girl tug at Agong's sleeve again. "Agong, the person has left."

Agong suddenly snapped back to his senses. "God of the Grassland! It is the Lord God of the Grassland!"

He could not help but bow toward the direction where the figure had left, but he found he could not kneel down no matter what.

In the center of the Feng Hai Great Grassland, a massive portal stood erect. There were no door panels, only a pitch-black vortex releasing dense Nether Qi, dyeing the surrounding grassland black.

Beyond the blackness was the flowing breeze, blowing across the barren ground.

Suddenly, a touch of emerald green rose from the ground, and blades of grass shot up, regaining their vitality.

A human figure walked from the distance, driving away the barrenness.

Standing before the portal, Qin Jiang gently raised his hand, and a circle of platinum Array Pattern gathered the surrounding Nether Qi, imprisoning it within the portal.

"Swish!"

Dizu Huangzun appeared at his side, watching quietly as Qin Jiang finished laying out the array.

"Spirit Mountain, Wan Yao Kingdom—after passing the Immortal King Tribulation, find an excuse to wipe them out. This continent has been in chaos for too long; it is time to unify it."

Qin Jiang spoke, his voice flat, with no discernible emotional fluctuation.

Dizu Huangzun nodded gently upon hearing this. "Very well."

Daotu that only knew how to extract resources without caring for the lives of the common people under their rule deserved to be wiped out. Besides, they were merely two Daotu that had never produced an Immortal King.

It was just that while unification was true, and an Immortal King had the strength for it, after an Immortal King ascended to the heavens, who else would have the qualifications to manage the entire continent?

"I will leave behind some methods before I ascend to the heavens, enough to suppress the Immortal Kings of the current age," Qin Jiang said.

Dizu Huangzun's expression changed slightly. "You... you can know what I am thinking?"

How could this be possible?! He had already achieved the true seven-colored Immortal King Body; there should be no power in this world capable of peering into his thoughts! "Once you truly attain the Dao of the Immortal King, I will no longer be able to tell," Qin Jiang said.

Dizu Huangzun fell silent upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Qin Jiang slowly laid out the array. He had already sensed an Immortal King-level aura behind this portal, but he could not discern exactly how many there were.

This portal contained the power of the Earth Dao, which could even block the peeking of his Array Dao Eye.

"Immortal Lord Qin, do... do you feel that you have changed?" Dizu Huangzun could not help but ask.

"Changed in what way?"

"You seem somewhat like the Heavenly Dao." "Does the Emperor not call me 'fellow Daoist' because you think I have forgotten my original intention?"

"Have you not forgotten?"

Qin Jiang fell silent at this, looking at his own palm. "I know I have not forgotten, but I cannot express this emotion. I feel as if I have turned into a stone."

Dizu Huangzun looked at Qin Jiang but dared not have the slightest thought; at this moment, Qin Jiang actually made him feel a sense of fear.

"When do you intend to undergo the Immortal King Tribulation?" Qin Jiang asked.

"If nothing goes wrong, three months from now," Dizu Huangzun said.

"I will act as your Protector."

"Good."

After a moment of silence, the Array Pattern was fully laid out. Dizu Huangzun could not help but ask: "What about you? Can you not yet undergo the Immortal King Tribulation?"

Qin Jiang turned to look at him, his eyes, which could perceive everything, like a vortex. "It is not yet time."

Nine months later, Changsheng Sword Sect.

Qin Jiang sat quietly in the courtyard, while Xu Yanran was brewing tea nearby, emitting a curling fragrance.

She poured a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Qin Jiang. Qin Jiang took it and took a light sip.

"You have worked hard during this time," he said.

Xu Yanran's body trembled upon hearing this. "Husband, what do you mean by this?"

As the words fell, a flash of black light suddenly lit up in the distant sky. A light figure holding a book emerged, followed by a ten-thousand-foot-tall golden-furred giant ape wielding an Immortal Stick, pouncing over to kill.

In another place, a blurry beast shadow emerged, burning with Hell Fire, roaring at the sky and shattering the stars.

Dizu Huangzun held the Dizu Immortal Seal and stepped into the air, sweeping the beast shadow away into the depths of the starry sky.

Boom—!!! With a violent explosion, in the direction of the Western Region, Hell Fire rose up, accompanied by shattered fragments of Array Pattern.

Qin Jiang set down his teacup and looked at Xu Yanran. "After today, I will return."

After speaking, he silently recited in his heart, "Great Wind Book."

In an instant, thick thunderclouds shrouded the entire Eastern Region, and everyone heard that world-destroying thunderous sound.

Qin Jiang stepped through the air and departed; bolts of lightning struck down, igniting flames around his body, wispy and thin, like fiery red feathers.

The Time Law boiled, and fifty rays of Time Profound Meaning flew in from thin air.

This was the key to forging the Immortal King Dao Rule: using one's own Great Dao to smelt the power of time, from which point one could step into the past at will and reflect a glimmer of the future.

Of course, with his current strength, even without attaining the Immortal King Dao, he could still achieve this, though he would be met with greater rejection.

Using the power of the Great Wind Book to draw in the rays of Profound Meaning for smelting, as the rays of Profound Meaning vanished, the terrifying Immortal King Dao Rule gradually revealed itself.

The pressure shook the universe; even in broad daylight, the stars still twinkled, and the dazzling starlight illuminated the firmament into night, with the boundless Star Sea appearing faintly.

Dizu Huangzun, who had already departed, could not help but look back, his pupils filled with shock.

Late-stage Immortal King?! To enter the late-stage Immortal King realm immediately upon breaking through! It is simply unheard of!

He himself had only just stabilized his own realm at the early-stage Immortal King level!

Qin Jiang's figure was reflected toward the Feng Hai Great Grassland, paving a golden Great Dao, and his true self arrived by stepping along the path.

Endless Hell Fire scorched the great grassland, demonic energy billowed from the Hell Gate, surging wildly toward the surroundings, and one could faintly hear the sound of dragon roars from within drawing closer.

Finally, the demonic energy within the Hell Gate erupted suddenly, accompanied by an earth-shattering dragon roar.

Roar—!!! A pitch-black giant dragon rushed out from the Hell Gate, demonic energy flowing over its body, eroding the earth.

The Renhuang Enianshen who has lost his reason! (End of chapter)
