Chapter 319: A Life of Sorrow, Emperor Ji Xukong of the Void

One day and one night!

Ji Ji Xukong fought fiercely against that Ancient Race leader for a full day and night!

His strength indeed could not compare to that of the Ancient Race leader, but the Void Arts he cultivated were inherently bizarre; whenever he faced a fatal strike, he would dodge directly, then leap to another group of Ancient Race members to deliver a fatal blow!

This was Ji Ji Xukong!

He lacked sufficient strength, yet he could still do battle with an Ancient Race leader stronger than himself!

Seeing Ji Ji Xukong become increasingly bizarre, the Ancient Race leader began to harbor thoughts of retreat.

However, Ji Ji Xukong's killing intent had already risen; in an instant, he directly exiled that Ancient Race leader into the void.

The great battle came to an end!

Ji Ji Xukong approached the Sect Master.

At this moment, the Sect Master was clinging to his last breath.

Looking at Ji Ji Xukong, the Sect Master felt both gratified and ashamed; only after a long while did he slowly reveal his identity!

He was actually a disciple of a major power who had entered the mortal world for hundreds of years, but alas, his life was now nearing its end!

His dying wish was for Ji Ji Xukong to help deliver a token back to his home.

Ji Ji Xukong agreed, settled the affairs of the Zong Sect, and handled the Sect Master's funeral arrangements.

Only then did he descend the mountain and step into the mortal world!

It turned out that the world below the mountain was not peaceful either.

The village where he had once lived had long been invaded by the Ancient Race.

Those wealthy families that had once followed the Ancient Race's lead saw their men slaughtered and their women reduced to slavery.

The neighbors from those days had long since perished in the chaos of war!

Gazing at the desolate village, Ji Ji Xukong closed his eyes, his heart boiling with killing intent.

In the past, he had been indifferent, muddling through life in a daze.

But now, he had learned a sense of responsibility from the Sect Master.

At critical moments, if one does not act, how can one be worthy of one's own cultivation base?

Yet clearly, he was not very strong, and still could not oppose the Ancient Race!

Become stronger!

At this moment, he developed a conviction and desire to grow stronger.

For the sake of protection!

He pressed forward in the direction the Sect Master had indicated, and whenever he encountered the Ancient Race along the way, he showed them no mercy!

Unknown years passed, and the immaturity in his eyes was replaced by resolve.

As for the Ancient Race?

He had even forgotten exactly how many he had killed!

On that day, he stood amidst ruins and broken walls; this place had surely once been the foundation of a major power, but alas, it had been destroyed by the Ancient Race!

This was precisely his destination, the Sect Master's homeland!

From the survivors, he learned that during that Ancient Race invasion, not a single person in that power was willing to live in cowardice.

This meant that no descendants survived in this world!

They fought desperately against the Ancient Race to protect the dozen or so great cities behind them.

They succeeded...

The people of the great cities had already reached safe regions.

As for them, and indeed their entire great sect, they had turned into these broken walls and ruins, merging as one with heaven and earth.

Was this the human sentiment the Sect Master had spoken of?

Ji Ji Xukong mourned silently for a moment, then continued his journey!

Along the way, he heard some rumors: the Sacred Body, which had protected the human race for ten thousand years, was actually colluding with those kings from the forbidden lands?

He had resolved to strike himself down, plunging into darkness! To join one of those Life Forbidden Zones?!

Was it really so?

Ji Ji Xukong's heart grew heavy; he stopped suppressing himself and fought fiercely with overwhelming force!

He intended to go before that person and demand a clear explanation!

This path of pursuit lasted a full hundred years!

During these hundred years, he rose from piles of corpses and also refined his own life-bound weapon.

It was a bronze mirror!

From then on, one man and one mirror slaughtered the Ancient Race!

This was the impression he left upon the people.

At this point, he finally qualified to approach that person.

When he first saw him, he felt as though he were dreaming.

He was covered in red hair and exuded extreme brutality.

Ji Ji Xuanyuan could not believe this was the existence that had once protected the human race for tens of thousands of years?

From what others said, the Sacred Body had already been covered in Dutch hair a hundred years ago, losing all reason!

During his moments of clarity, he bound himself with chains, fearing he would indiscriminately kill the innocent.

It was precisely because he had lost his reason that the Ancient Race dared to step into human territory and slaughter living beings at will.

Upon seeing Ji Ji Xukong, that Sacred Body covered in Dutch hair actually calmed down.

He sensed his goodwill and moved closer to him.

He was once a handsome and valiant man, yet now he has fallen to such a state.
