“Boom!”

A floating mountain suddenly exploded into powder.

“…”

On the martial arts training ground that was deep red as blood, hundreds of martial artists kneeling on the ground had beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

The Emperor!

He was furious!

The reason was simple: the warships and soldiers sent to aid Xingling Realm, along with two capable generals, had all gone without return.

Who was the culprit?

They hadn’t figured it out yet.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

At this moment, an old man resembling a diviner cupped his hands and lowered his head as he walked up the stairs, then knelt on the ground and said respectfully: “Reporting to Your Majesty, I have completed the divination.”

“Speak.”

A cold voice came from within the hall, clearly containing extremely strong anger.

“The killer of Chaosheng Wang and Shasheng Wang, and the killer of Jialuo Wang and Duola Wang, are the same person,” the old man said with trepidation.

As soon as these words were spoken, the kneeling martial artists immediately knew who it was!

“Whoosh—”

Suddenly, a stream of light flew out from the hall, brushing past the old man’s ear and shooting out, directly pulverizing another floating mountain in the distance into dust.

This power was terrifyingly immense.

Everyone felt a chill run up from the soles of their feet.

They had never seen Lord Heavenly Demon Emperor lose his temper like this.

It was understandable.

So many subordinates, so many capable generals had all died at the hands of the same person, and even his own avatar couldn’t avoid it—anyone with a temper wouldn’t be able to restrain themselves.

“Jun Changxiao!”

“The enmity between you and me is irreconcilable!”

The Heavenly Demon Emperor’s furious voice echoed throughout the entire plane, and seemed to penetrate the void, reaching the ears of Jun Changxiao, who was in Xingling Realm’s boundary city taking inventory of assets. His ten fingers slowly clasped together as he said indifferently: “The good show has only just begun!”

…

Xingling Realm had been taken down.

The commander was thrown into the Tianyuan Prison Suppression Tower.

Er Ya’s importance was demonstrated once again. After several days of care, the other party spilled everything he knew.

Xingling Realm.

Was just one of the planes controlled by the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

In the vast upper universe, there also existed several other strongholds, all with overall strength in the first tier.

“How is this possible…”

Jian Guixu sat down, his eyes showing disbelief.

The commander had revealed several planes, among which he was very familiar with one called Hengyuan Realm, and had even had a life-and-death friendship with its realm lord. He never expected that the other party had already pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

“Fang Shanya,” Jian Guixu said. “At a young age, he used his passionate blood to slay evil dragons that plagued the world, yet now he has actually…” He covered his chest and said: “Heartbreaking!”

“Senior.”

Jun Changxiao said: “People can change.”

“Alas.”

Jian Guixu sighed, as if he had aged considerably all at once.

In fact, after merging into the Jun Alliance, he had considered taking Jun Changxiao to visit Hengyuan Realm to meet this old friend and sincerely invite him to join in resisting the Heavenly Demon Emperor together.

As a result…

The dragon-slaying youth had become the evil dragon’s servant.

Jun Changxiao sat down, resting his chin on the back of his hand, and said: “I originally thought my only opponent was the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but now it seems there are many unknown enemies.”

The Xingling Realm commander only knew a small part of the information; no one could say for sure how many planes the Heavenly Demon Emperor had gathered over the years.

At that moment.

Jun Changxiao felt as if he was about to become enemies with the entire universe.

The system said: “The planes that can be won over by the Heavenly Demon Emperor should all have a certain prestige. If the host chooses to directly engage him in war, you really will be enemies with the entire universe.”

“So.”

Jun Changxiao said seriously: “The road ahead is long and arduous!”

…

On the back mountain.

Lu Qianqian came to the Nine Heavens Secret Realm as usual, and was about to go in to cultivate when she suddenly stopped in place and turned her head to look at the sect master leaning against a tree.

“Won’t you go to the Medical Hall to recuperate?”

“…”

“Don’t try to tough it out.”

“…”

Lu Qianqian remained silent.

Although she looked normal now, in fact many meridians in her body were damaged.

The reason was summoning an SSS-rank deity and consuming a large amount of attributes to forcibly freeze the Chaosheng brothers.

If it were just one Tianji Realm cultivator, the problem wouldn’t be very serious.

“This disciple is fine,” Lu Qianqian answered.

Jun Changxiao said with a stern face: “This is this seat’s order. Right now, immediately go to the Medical Hall.”

“…”

Lu Qianqian turned around and said: “This disciple obeys.”

Seeing her leave, Jun Changxiao said: “This seat already knows about some things.”

Lu Qianqian stopped in her tracks.

There was no surprise in her eyes, as if she had already guessed that Su Xiaomo would tell the sect master about the matter.

“Actually…”

“The sect master once said that if I’m the Eternal Sect’s head disciple for one day, I’ll be the Eternal Sect’s head disciple for life.”

“Uh.”

Jun Changxiao said: “I did say that.”

“I will work hard to be a good head disciple and won’t let the sect master down,” Lu Qianqian said, then got up and left the back mountain.

Jun Changxiao leaned against the tree in silence for a while, then shrugged and said: “This is also good.”

“Whoosh!”

He stretched his back, looked back into the distance, and said: “Sneaking around, what are you doing?”

Hua Meigui walked out, shrugging her shoulders in imitation of him just now, and said: “If I say I was just passing by, will husband believe me?”

“Believe… not a chance.”

Jun Changxiao said irritably.

“Actually…” Hua Meigui stopped beside him, placing both hands on his shoulders, and smiled: “As long as husband has me in his heart, I don’t mind if there are others in his heart too.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao said speechlessly: “Are you sick in the head?”

“Back then on Soul Clan Continent, husband said he had three thousand wives and concubines,” Hua Meigui teased. “Why haven’t I seen a single one until now?”

“I said it casually, and you actually believed it?”

“I believe.”

Hua Meigui said: “You humans all have three wives and four concubines, don’t you all like the new and discard the old?”

“Not including me.”

Jun Changxiao said with his chest puffed out.

The system couldn’t refute this, because having followed him for many years, even after achieving success and fame, even after becoming powerful, he really hadn’t had any improper thoughts. What he thought about most was when he could finally complete that damn main quest.

“If husband can’t let go of certain people, I won’t mind,” Hua Meigui said this, then gently traced her right hand across his face before gracefully leaving.

“Hey!”

Jun Changxiao shouted at her: “If you’re sick, go to the Medical Hall too!”

Hua Meigui stopped, extending two slender fingers, and said: “Husband’s heart can only hold this many people.”

“…”

Watching the graceful figure disappear on the back mountain, Jun Changxiao held his head and said: “She really is sick!”

…

The upper universe was getting a bit chaotic.

In a short time, various planes and forces resisting the Heavenly Demon Emperor had all suffered devastating blows.

Many strong cultivators hoped to find opportunities in the upheaval of heaven and earth to break through to higher levels, or even step into the Land of Eternal Life, but ultimately died on the banks of the Yellow Springs, their lifetime of cultivation flowing away like water.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Before long, the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s army came to Xingling Realm again.

However, this plane had long been completely empty, with cities and resources all vanished without a trace.

“Beep beep beep!”

“Beep beep beep!”

Four of the Eight Celestial Dragons descended on Xingling City, standing on what had originally been a luxurious palace’s empty ground, when they suddenly heard faint sounds.

“What’s that sound?”

“Not good! Retreat quickly!”

“Boom boom boom—” Xingling Realm, which held extremely high significance in the upper universe, suddenly experienced a massive explosion, with a mushroom cloud-like spectacle covering a vast expanse of cosmic starry sky.

This was the gift Jun Changxiao left for them before departing.

Art.

Comes from explosions.

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

In the great explosion, the four Eight Celestial Dragons flew out in extreme disarray.

They were bombed beyond recognition. If not for their considerable strength, if not for discovering something was wrong in advance, they probably would have replaced Duola Wang as the most miserable casualty without exception.

The four survived, but the thousands of warships and large numbers of soldiers they brought all perished along with Xingling Realm.

…

At the Eternal Sect.

When Jun Changxiao sensed the explosion, he said: “Finally avenged Xingyun Continent.”

Yes.

Revenge had been taken.

Back then, Xingyun Continent was shattered due to Xingling Realm’s invasion. Now that plane had also been blown to dust—this was truly karmic retribution, what goes around comes around.
