Chapter 1999: with translation of chapter title

Hahaha! Are you worried I'll die? If I'm destined to die, let me shine and burn a little longer.

Ye Chen immediately shook his head, "Your backlash is already quite severe."

Yang Jian, however, was somewhat composed, "It's fine. When I was saved by Senior Du Fei Ling earlier, my intention was to kill a strange clan."

Because at that time, in my view, the strange clan was extremely strong, basically unkillable; later I killed one, then ten… up to thousands of strange clan, and I discovered that the strange clan, like other living beings, also fears death and can truly die.

I have already fulfilled my original wish. I feel I have no regrets. Hahaha!

Seeing this, Ye Chen sighed, also not knowing how to persuade Yang Jian.

They immediately followed Yang Jian's finger seal and descended upon a star called the Waste Star.

Inside the Waste Star, there exists an ancient passage.

Ye Chen, Qi Chun Jing, and others stepped inside, and indeed discovered an ancient Confucian-Daoist legacy.

This legacy comes from an ancient remnant universe, and it is a power known as the Dongshan Academy.

Everyone stepped inside.

The Dongshan Academy is already in ruins.

Qi Chun Jing picked up an identity token engraved with "Dean Cui Dongshan".

Looking around, the academy was riddled with holes, many pavilions collapsed, the Daoist training grounds shattered, yet deep within the academy, a rich righteous qi flowed forth.

Indeed, there is still an opportunity.

Yang Jian smiled.

The human skin scroll will not deceive him.

Ye Chen sighed, "This human skin scroll, besides being a strange artifact, is truly a good thing."

It can deduce the future, seize the initiative, and also seek opportunities.

But the backlash is somewhat great!

Qi Chun Jing's expression was complex as he walked into the depths of the academy.

Yang Jian, in order to deduce this opportunity, paid a somewhat high price, almost as if he were using his remaining life to calculate.

He feels unworthy of it.

Things have come to this; all we can do is see if the master can help suppress Yang Jian's backlash when the time comes.

Qi Chun Jing had just stepped into the place of opportunity.

His natal character "person" spontaneously evolved.

The many Dao Resonances on his body began to roar.

Snow began to fall directly between heaven and earth!

The righteous qi transformed into a huge vortex, swirling between heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

Qi Chun Jing began to absorb this Confucian-Daoist qi.

His cultivation surged upward.

Half a day later.

When Qi Chun Jing reappeared, his cultivation had already broken through to the Second Star Dao King realm!

His body had accumulated a great amount of righteous qi.

When leaving, he bowed respectfully toward the academy's direction, "I will carry on the academy's legacy and continue forward."

His voice fell!

This ancient relic has a kind of unseen power surging within it.

"Boom!"

The ancient relic shattered with a boom.

Even the identity token of the dean that Qi Chun Jing held turned to dust.

Three days later.

In the Gu Clan's stronghold.

Elder Wang Luo excitedly came over and said to Fang Yuan, "Envoy Sir, the Gu formation in the Bull Ox Star Sea is now complete. We can take action."

Fang Yuan nodded, "Then let's act."

Soon, a large number of Gu Clan powerhouses were gathered and rushed wildly toward the Bull Ox Star Sea.

This time, Fang Yuan also descended with the Gu Clan army.

"Boom—!"

Between heaven and earth, the surging Gu creature Dao Resonance trembled like a golden tide.

This time the Gu Clan dispatched more than ten times the number of experts as the Ruthless Woman Emperor!

In Elder Wang Luo's hand, a detection Gu was constantly rotating.

On the detection Gu, the entire situation of the Bull Ox Star Sea appeared dazzling.

Some red dots appeared.

These are the positions of the Ruthless Woman Emperor and Yang Jian.

You should know that the Gu Clan's formation laid in the Bull Ox Star Sea not only seals heaven and locks earth, but also can scout the overall situation of the star sea.

Elder Wang Luo gave a cold snort, "The Ruthless Woman Emperor and Yang Jian are merely turtles in a jar."

He flicked his sleeve, leading the great army mightily into the Bull Ox Star Sea.

At the same time.

In the strange clan's stronghold, the illusory apparition of Elder Cang Wu appeared, and a mighty aura surged.

Elder Wu Yan, Xuanji Holy Lord, and others were all summoned out.

He looked down from above, "The timing is now ripe. Yang Jian's backlash is almost reaching its limit; it's time to harvest."

His gaze swept over the crowd and finally settled on a burly black-robed elder.

"Yinlin Elder, this time you take people and go with Ming."

"By then, Yang Jian will surely be utterly backlashed by the human skin scroll, becoming part of it."

"Before, he drove the human skin scroll; from now on, the human skin scroll will drive him."

"Yang Jian will also become a slave of my Gu Clan."

The Yinlin elder immediately stepped forward, "Yes, sir!"

Soon, the Yinlin elder led the Xuanji Holy Lord and others, piloting a black cloud-ship toward the direction of the Bull Star Sea and charged over.

On the cloud-ship, the Yinlin elder rubbed his palms together, "Yang Jian has been provoking us all along; in the end he will still become our lackey."

The other elders said, "Although the Gu Clan has trapped the Ruthless Woman Emperor and them in the Bull Star Sea, we still need to take action."

The Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes flickered, according to the information she had learned.

This time's encirclement and slaughter, even the Ruthless Woman Emperor might not be able to handle.

The Gu Clan even dispatched experts of the Dao-Destroying Realm!

And the Ruthless Woman Emperor is only at the High-Star Dao King Realm!

She needs to immediately pass the news to Yang Jian and them.

The Xuanji Holy Lord immediately activated the fragments of the human skin scroll; a large number of fragments fell from her wrist.

"Chi—chi—chi!"

Strands of dark light flickered.

Her consciousness sank into the world of the fragments, wanting to contact Yang Jian.

But there was no response.

At the same time.

In the Bull Star Sea.

Fang Yuan's army directly clashed with the Ruthless Woman Emperor's army.

"Boom—boom—boom!"

Above the Void, the Gu Clan sacrificed many attack gu beasts; the brilliant Divine Light illuminated heaven and earth, directly lighting up the starry sky.

This aura is too terrifying!

Moreover, the gu formation adds its support.

This is completely the Gu Clan's home turf.

Even some great demons have gu beasts bestowed by the Gu Clan, boosting their combat power.

Elder Wang Luo wore a cold smile as he looked ahead, disdainfully saying, "Ruthless Woman Emperor, your time of death has come."

Not far away.

The Ruthless Woman Emperor wore a long robe, her hair flowing down; beneath her jade feet, the reincarnation pattern rippled like waves.

By her side were Yun Zheng, Yao Xi Empress, Ye Shuang, and others.

The Ruthless Woman Emperor's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed.

This time the enemy's numbers and strength are indeed far above theirs!

Yet within the Bull Star Sea, the reincarnation pattern she has condensed is less than one-tenth.

Ye Shuang drew her umbrella-sword; icy sword qi surged, she had already prepared for battle.

Behind them, the Vast Sea Great Emperor and others worriedly said, "Your Majesty Empress, why not summon Lord Lu Zun? The enemy's strength is too great."

The Ruthless Woman Emperor calmly said, "It's fine; we haven't even fought yet and already say we can't win—Lord Lu Zun would probably be disappointed."

She lightly raised her jade hand, "Battle!"

Her figure first flickered forth.
