Chapter 929: Find Him, Kill Him

~10 min read 1,845 words

The next instant.

Hiss!

Accompanied by a piercing hum that rang out.

Strands of Ancient God aura surged in from all directions.

Outside the Malice Wang Ting, Zhuohe Umeng felt this Ancient God aura, which she both feared and yearned for, rushing toward Chen Yan as if it were free of charge.

She knelt down, not daring to look again.

Immediately after, Zhuohe Umeng's brows furrowed slightly as she looked to the side.

And there she saw.

A figure in ink-colored robes fluttered, someone having stepped across the Sea of Malice, arriving late.

"Lord Xia."

Zhuohe Umeng's voice was cold, the aura of life and destruction surging in her palms.

Lord Xia paid no attention to Zhuohe Umeng at all, simply standing there calmly.

Zhuohe Umeng's brows furrowed, and for a moment, she did not strike.

Although she was the strongest Ancient God Beast.

Yet Lord Xia was the pinnacle of the human race, having suppressed the world for ten thousand generations.

She would not be a match for Lord Xia.

What's more, Zhuohe Umeng possessed the consciousness of a human.

As time slowly passed.

When the surging of the tide gradually ceased.

Lord Xia stepped into the Malice Wang Ting.

Zhuohe Umeng was about to make a move.

"Let him in."

A hoarse, weathered voice rang out from within the Wang Ting.

Zhuohe Umeng hurriedly knelt.

Lord Xia raised his brows slightly and walked into the great hall.

Deep within the Malice Wang Ting.

Chen Yan's withered body was sunken like rotten wood into a throne entwined with thorns of malice.

White hair like a dying spiderweb draped over his shoulders, with tiny crystals of malice congealed at the tips.

Chen Yan looked at Lord Xia, red light flashing in the eyes occupied by chaotic vortices.

At this moment, Chen Yan had already reached the sixth seat of the human race's supreme power.

This minor tide.

Two hundred strands of Ancient God aura arrived.

The Ancient God aura contained within Chen Yan's Ancient God status had reached a terrifying four hundred and twelve strands.

Lord Xia looked at Chen Yan calmly:

"I have come, and you don't even have a place for me to sit?"

Chen Yan waved a hand, and crystals of malice surged within the hall, gathering into a throne of malice that appeared behind Lord Xia.

Lord Xia's brows furrowed slightly, and he sat down.

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

Lord Xia spoke faintly.

Chen Yan hung his head, his white hair falling onto his shoulders, bringing with it billions of crazed, delirious whispers.

"If Lord Xia wishes to strike, please do so."

Chen Yan's voice was low.

Lord Xia narrowed his eyes:

"Do you think I dare not kill you?"

Boom!

A powerful majesty overflowed from his physical body.

Chen Yan watched calmly, the malice throughout the entire Wang Ting trembling and emitting a devout whimper.

Lord Xia met Chen Yan's gaze, and after a long while, a look of disdainful amusement appeared in his eyes:

"You, Chen Yan, have always been unyielding to others your whole life.

Look at you, you've lived to become like this."

Chen Yan replied indifferently:

"Since Lord Xia does not wish to kill me, then please leave on your own."

Lord Xia's brows furrowed:

"Kid, I advise you to watch your tone; back in the Pure Truth Yang Realm, it was I who lectured on the Dao for you."

Chen Yan did not speak.

Lord Xia sneered and continued:

"Without me, how could there be the Great Xia, and without the Great Xia, how could there be you?

I know you despise me because of the Yang of Xia, but before you speak, think for yourself whether you should say it like that."

Chen Yan remained silent.

He felt both awe and disgust toward Lord Xia.

Chen Yan was quite dissatisfied with the other party's behavior.

But the other party was indeed the original ancestor of the current human race.

Chen Yan walked down from the throne and bowed to the Xia Lord:

"Chen Yan of Green Mountain, pays respects to the Xia Lord."

This time, it was the Xia Lord's turn to be speechless.

After a long while, the Xia Lord finally spoke:

"The various powerhouses of the human race all have their own methods of saving the world.

But many people have actually overlooked a very important point."

"Please speak freely, Xia Lord."

The Xia Lord stared at Chen Yan and said:

"That is the enemy, the true enemy of the human race; do you know who it actually is?"

"Mother God," Chen Yan replied.

The Xia Lord's brows furrowed slightly:

"You know quite a lot. I have pondered for a long time, if I were the Mother God.

What should I do, and how would I do it?"

The Xia Lord stood up, robes fluttering:

"After the Mother God ascended, the human world lost all news regarding her.

And before the Mother God ascended, the humans of the past had no concept of her at all.

She simply appeared, then ascended, and thus began the human race's ten-thousand-year history of struggle."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes:

"Does the Xia Lord mean that the Mother God never left?"

The Xia Lord shook his head slightly:

"I mean that the Mother God has been gazing at the human race all along.

She could not possibly let the human race develop martial arts unchecked; what means do you think she uses to gaze upon them?"

The vortex of malice in Chen Yan's pupils suddenly spun, and the malice in the surroundings vibrated incessantly.

"If you know, then do not say it out loud."

The Xia Lord spoke calmly.

Chen Yan was silent.

Through what means?

The Mother God gazing at the human race could not possibly be gazing at all humans.

Nor did she need to.

She only needed to gaze at the strongest batch of humans.

How to gaze?

Only through 【Unity】.

To be precise, the gray fog world created by 【Unity】.

"In these ten thousand years, I have simulated the Mother God's position and the future development of the human race countless times."

The Xia Lord spoke slowly, walking alone within the Court of Malice.

"At the very beginning, my thought was that the Mother God had not left; she was right here among the humans.

But this does not fit logic.

The Mother God is a lifeform of another form; to her, the human race is nothing more than a pigsty.

She would not live together with the pigs."

Chen Yan's body trembled slightly.

The Xia Lord looked at Chen Yan faintly:

"Imagine you are a farm owner; you have different pigsties. After you have arranged the development of one pigsty.

Do you need to go and arrange the other pigsties?

But the pigs in the pigsty will develop on their own; what if one day, the strongest pig climbs over the fence—what then?"

The strongest pig...

Chen Yan felt as if struck by lightning.

Suppose a strongest individual appeared among the human race.

Surpassing Bai E and Fanni.

Then what this strongest individual would obtain first is 【Unity】.

And 【Unity】, Chen Yan had already guessed, is the Ancient God status.

The strongest pig, infected by the Ancient God status, becomes another farm owner.

This is an unsolvable situation.

But the problem is.

Is the Ancient God status that Chen Yan has obtained now the one arranged by the Mother God?

No.

It is not.

The human race has two Ancient God statuses.

Fanni and Bai E.

The Evil Realm where Chen Yan is located is beneath the Five Clans.

And the stronger Ancient God status is within the body of Bai E, who is beneath the Great Xia.

Sss, sss, sss.

Following Chen Yan's contemplation.

Malice corroded the space into honeycomb-like holes, and in each hole was reflected a decaying king's shadow from a different angle.

The Xia Lord looked at Chen Yan at this moment, a trace of a sigh appearing in his eyes:

"Suppose the farm owner left a transformation device for the pigsty.

And the strongest pig became aware of the existence of this transformation device.

How would it cross the pigsty without being infected by the transformation device?"

Chen Yan looked at the Xia Lord:

"Is this what the Xia Lord intends to do?"

"Can you not see it?" the Xia Lord replied calmly.

Chen Yan nodded.

He saw it, and the creatures of the Evil Realm all saw it.

The Xia Lord was researching the 【Unity】 belonging to the human race.

That day, Fanni awakened.

The Xia Lord, alone, combined the statuses of the other Martial Dao Lords to suppress Fanni.

That was the method of 【Unity】.

And this method did not involve the participation of any Ancient God status.

The Xia Lord was using the human race's own way to achieve 【Unity】 without relying on Ancient God status.

It was just like the Xia Lord's own metaphor.

That strongest pig, within the pigsty, became a creature similar to the farm owner.

When this pig climbed over the fence, the transformation device left by the farm owner could no longer lock onto the Xia Lord.

The transformation device would only think that the Xia Lord was actually also a farm owner.

But in reality, the Xia Lord was not.

"What I want is to leave this world by my own power!"

The Xia Lord's voice was deep:

"Find Him, kill Him."

The Xia Lord stated his plan, but it left Chen Yan speechless for a long time.

Until a certain moment, Chen Yan finally asked the most crucial question:

"Has the Xia Lord already left?"

The Xia Lord was too mysterious.

Just counting avatars, Chen Yan had already seen three.

Once, it was within the College Entrance Examination secret realm.

Once was during the time at Myriad Appearances Island, when the successive rulers of the Xia Clan Imperial Family arrived, and the Xia Lord had also come.

But the one who arrived that time was fundamentally not the one from the College Entrance Examination secret realm.

There was another one.

It was the Xia Lord sealed within the Purple Firmament World-Stabilizing Mirror.

Clearly.

Within the Evil Realm, there was still another Xia Lord.

It was not a remnant soul, but rather this extremely powerful existence before his eyes.

So, in the end, was the one before Chen Yan the true Xia Lord?

The Xia Lord in black robes looked at Chen Yan, and only after a long time did he speak:

"I have already said what I wanted to say.

The human race..."

The Xia Lord looked around, revealing a trace of a disdainful smile:

"There are many smart people, and there are many foolish people.

I do not wish to see you die, but if you do not even have the qualifications to walk before the Mother God, then..."

As the Xia Lord spoke, his figure dissipated.

PS: It's almost the grand finale, brothers, the final outline has already been written.
