The Zhenwei Emperor truly couldn’t go on—this battle was basically over!

However, this man who styled himself as possessing the bearing of an Emperor wouldn’t allow defeat, much less defeat at his own doorstep. So he directly ceased circulating the Supreme Radiant Fire Formula and released the demon deep within his heart!

Actually, this was also a last resort.

Because if he didn’t release this power, the final result would be death at Jun Changxiao’s hands.

Either way meant death—he could only compromise with his master.

Although his soul would be completely devoured, his body would still exist in the world. If it could help him complete his long-cherished wish, he could smile contentedly in the underworld!

Madman!

A complete and utter madman!

Handing over his body and power to a being with ulterior motives would bring harm not just to the Eastern Sea Fisher Province, but could even affect the entire Xingyun Continent!

The Zhenwei Emperor couldn’t care about all that. He didn’t accept his own failure, so when left with no way out, he could only release the demon in his heart and drag the entire world down with him!

“Keke keke!”

“Keke keke!”

The suppressed soul finally broke free and laughed with unbridled strangeness.

It knew this day would eventually come, but hadn’t expected the human it had trained would lose to an outsider from Southwest Yang Province, allowing it to take control ahead of schedule!

“Zhenwei, my disciple!”

“The humiliation you suffered earlier, your master will help you exact revenge!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Prairie-green attribute erupted roaring from within, instantly enveloping the Zhenwei Emperor’s body, beginning to occupy his meridians and flesh, beginning to devour his thoughts and soul!

This aura and momentum were exactly the same as when Dai Lü was possessed, so Jun Changxiao instantly determined that a Soul Clan member existed within this Emperor’s body!

Then, many things became very easy to understand!

In just a few short decades, the Zhenwei Emperor could rise like a comet—it must have been relying on Soul Clan power!

“Your Imperial Majesty…”

The National Preceptor lying at the foot of the city tower had eyes filled with terror.

The ominous premonition he’d divined became unprecedentedly intense the moment the Zhenwei Emperor was enveloped by prairie-green attribute!

Wasn’t this crisis brought by Jun Changxiao?

Why, when His Imperial Majesty was enveloped by green attribute, did that sense of crisis become so terrifying!

Could it be… this was the true ominous premonition, and all his previous calculations were wrong?

Actually, from the moment Jun Changxiao rescued the children’s parents, it proved he wouldn’t endanger the Zhenwei Empire, because the trace of kindness in his heart wouldn’t allow him to do something so inhumane.

Souls were different!

They lived by devouring and destroying.

So when it controlled the Zhenwei Emperor’s body, it meant destruction had arrived!

The National Preceptor’s previous divinations and calculations—the ominous premonition they represented—referred to the Zhenwei Emperor, referred to the Soul Clan existing within his body!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Prairie-green attribute spread frantically, heralding that the time of destruction’s arrival was infinitely approaching.

“Keke keke!”

The fellow temporarily designated as Soul Number Two laughed strangely: “Sect Master Jun, you severely wounded my disciple and forced him to give up his body. To express thanks, I will slowly torture you, slowly extract your internal energy bit by bit, letting you experience what it means to wish for death!”

“Whoosh—”

Green attribute exploded, surging over like ocean waves.

The Zhenwei Emperor who had been kneeling supported by his spear suddenly stood up, both eyes completely prairie-green, the pallor and weakness on his face completely vanished.

Seeing this, the National Preceptor’s heart and spirit trembled!

The ominous premonition had come, the world’s end had come!

“Of course!”

Soul Number Two successfully controlled the Zhenwei Emperor’s body, wounds recovering, power gradually entering peak state. He raised his head and laughed: “The living beings of Xingyun Continent will also become this seat’s energy, will also receive baptism of terror!”

“Keke keke!”

“Keke keke keke…”

“Smack!”

While laughing loudly, a flat suction mouth mercilessly pressed against his forehead.

Jun Changxiao somehow had already shouldered the modified vacuum cleaner, his voice cold: “Have you heard the saying, villains die from talking too much?”

“Not good!”

Soul Number Two’s expression drastically changed.

“Fourth Gear!”

“Full Throttle!”

“Whoooosh—”

Jun Changxiao didn’t hesitate to activate enhanced mode. Powerful suction instantly erupted from the flat nozzle, directly hard-pulling the Zhenwei Emperor’s scalp!

“Whoosh!”

The full head of Imperial hair couldn’t withstand it and was collected first!

“Ahhh!”

Soul Number Two shrieked, internal energy fully erupting, wanting to resist the suction. But before a vacuum cleaner with absolute dominance over it, any resistance was futile, and would even激激发 increase the absorption speed!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Violent suction, terrifyingly extreme!

The horrified National Preceptor could see with naked eye that the prairie-green emanating from the Zhenwei Emperor’s body was frantically absorbed, a soul-like shadow seemingly screaming!

“Whoosh—”

Shortly after, having just occupied a human body, having just walked out from hell, the demon was cleanly absorbed inside, rampaging within the dust collection chamber but unable to break through the solid barrier.

Strictly speaking, the Zhenwei Emperor could only be considered a mini-boss. The soul existing within his body was the real big boss.

The result? Just came on stage and got sucked away—truly couldn’t be more tragic!

“Thud!”

Without Soul Number Two’s support, the Zhenwei Emperor crashed to the ground.

The soul originally about to be extinguished between heaven and earth once again dominated his body, eyes full of shock: “You…”

He thought that releasing his master would allow easy annihilation of this person. The result? On stage for less than a minute showing off before being sucked away!

Impossible!

This was impossible!

“Heaven’s sins may be forgiven, self-inflicted sins cannot.”

Jun Changxiao coldly raised the Jade Dragon Heaven-Questioning Sword and swung it down while the Zhenwei Emperor watched in shock and disbelief.

“No!”

“Slash!”

Thus, the Zhenwei Emperor possessing absolute ambition and power met his end. His head, roaring in unwillingness, gradually separated from his body and rolled away, filthy blood staining the earth.

“Your… Your Majesty!” The National Preceptor’s voice trembled violently.

In that moment, he became confused again.

Did the ominous premonition refer to that prairie-green attribute just now, or did it originally refer to Jun Changxiao!

“Buzz!”

With the Zhenwei Emperor’s death in battle, the spear’s radiance faded.

Jun Changxiao walked over one step, his right hand grasping the spear shaft, lifting it up, then spinning it in a circle with the magic of love, saying: “This level of divine artifact—only someone like me who harbors justice is qualified to wield it!”

“Ptui!”

The System spat in respect.

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

Atop the city tower, Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and the other two witnessed the big boss being beheaded by the Sect Master. Their entire bodies went powerless as they collapsed to the ground, then breathed in large gulps.

For people they didn’t know, risking danger to endure residual attacks—this behavior was simply stupid to the extreme. But when all disaster passed and they saw the worshipful light on the children’s faces behind them, it felt pretty good.

Please don’t criticize this as the author’s strong survival instinct manifesting—it’s just that in a sinister world, why can’t there be a bit more kindness, a bit more chivalrous spirit?

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

The shattered space gradually healed. The murderous aura enveloping Zhenwei City’s surroundings gradually dissipated. The dark sky also returned to clear skies for miles.

Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and the other two stood atop the city tower: “It’s over.”
