"Mu Zhenbei, do you need me to remind you of the chasm between mortals and cultivators? Or do you need me to remind you of the gap between a saint and low rank cultivators? If you leave even a sliver of possibility for survival, who would be willing to kill you?"

"Noisy!"

Marquis Wucheng had already lost patience, and before his words reached Xu Yuan’s ears, his sword-wielding figure had already enveloped with the power of the military array arrived before the broken silhouette.

One slash was struck.

Marquis Wucheng awaited for the opponent to enter the ’dead body’ state where they couldn’t use spellcraft, then to use the power of the military array to seal them eternally.

But what awaited him was only emptiness.

The sword beam added yet another bottomless trench to the earth’s wounds!

At the same time, without any hesitation, all Dayan’s powers above saint cultivation instantly distanced themselves from their original position in the void.

Han King Xu Changtian’s spellcraft had long been thoroughly studied by the Sect Alliance over the decades, the man with a tattered body now faced the wisdom of half a world.

Thus, when Xu Yuan reappeared in the world, Marquis Wucheng had already, through the aid of the positioning array plate, arrived close to him, just where they all stood in the void.

Facing the gust of the punch, Xu Yuan did not choose to dodge, but instead reached out to pat Ying Siqi in front of him.

Marquis Wucheng’s halberd arrived first.

But Xu Yuan’s body flickered once to dodge a slash strike, the broken arm touched the young man’s arm.

At this moment,

A boundless fear shrouded over Ying Siqi.

He locked eyes with that person.

The ruined features couldn’t change that arrogant gaze, nor could it hide the familiar and envy-inducing gaze that seemed to penetrate all.

Countless memories began to surge in his mind,

The clearest one,

Was when Sister Xinyao first took him to meet this person,

He still remembered the admiration in that gaze that nearly drove him into a frenzy of joy.

Because it was a gaze from the top of the world,

Also because,

It was the recognition from the brother of Sister Xinyao.

But then, that emotion gradually changed.

He began to discover....that the Sister Xinyao he admired and tried his utmost to approach had already poured all her efforts into that man who was called brother.

When he theorized array patterns and went to her, she would smile and say she could finally alleviate some of Third Brother’s pressure.

When he proposed a groundbreaking project and went to her, she would tell him, Third Brother would surely be happy and grant him a reward.

When he found her dejected and lost, it was without exception because when she returned to her home known as the Inner Courtyard of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, when she saw that ’Third Brother’ after he was close to his confidant.

All she did was for the man in her heart.

As someone who was with Xu Xinyao constantly, this jealousy drove him mad, but Ying Siqi could only compress all these feelings deep down, until forever, because the man she envied was the ruler of the world, whose every thought was national policy, whose every decision determined the life and death of millions in Dayan Han King, yet the man created this opportunity for him.

He betrayed the power of the whole world.

Ying Siqi didn’t understand, but that didn’t hinder him from choosing to join these people.

Whether it was for a place to stand in the ’New World’, or for the woman in his heart, he joined these people without hesitation.

But at this moment,

Facing the gaze that singled him out, he seemed to revert back to that timid commoner freshly emerged from the school.

This emotion from the depths of his heart angered him.

But the next moment, the innate fear towards the person before him made his mind blank.

In their gaze meeting,

He saw the disappointment and disdain in those eyes of the ugly man in front of him.

Yet he didn’t dare make any move.

The next instant,

Marquis Wucheng relieved him from this dilemma.

Direct attacks were dodged by the Han King’s spellcraft, but the aftermath of the power of the million elite military array instantly destroyed most of his body.

Marquis Wucheng, knowing the condition for Xu Yuan to initiate the Life and Death Domain, deliberately controlled the force.

Thus including Ying Siqi within it, all the newly minted nobles left in the original place due to a delayed reaction were all killed in this brief battle ripple.

Silence reigned.

Ying Siqi, belatedly, began gasping heavily, his body involuntarily trembling out of fear, but when he saw the man who once carried the whole world fall to the ground with a broken body, the corners of his lips unwittingly curled into a relaxed smile.

But the next moment,

His smile abruptly ceased.

Because,

He heard the faint yet unchanged voice from the other person:

"That love of yours that disgusts me, I reject it on her behalf."

"...."

Ying Siqi instinctively glanced towards Marquis Wucheng, seeing a complexity after severing the idolized enemy.

At this moment,

Ying Siqi didn’t know what those around would do, but he knew he would definitely die.

It was over.

Extreme panic surged from deep within, residual reason made him open his mouth to say something, but the next moment, the automatically triggered array pattern talisman had already transported him dozens of miles away, followed closely by the second talisman, the third talisman, the fourth...

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Ying Siqi’s anguished screams reverberated in the silent world, the vitality not belonging to him continued to expand within him, the curse of dissent erupted in his body, his originally handsome face swelled, his flesh began a grotesque expansion and transformation.

And at the moment Ying Siqi felt the inevitability of death approaching, the fear in his eyes inexplicably dissipated, without any hesitation, he immediately activated all his teleportation talismans, heading towards the void created by the ’Fallen Sun’.

At least,

Before I die, I will drag you down with me!

He opened that bloated mouth and shouted loudly.....

...

Time, rewound for a moment.

When Marquis Wucheng discovered Ying Siqi had vanished in an instant, his pupils contracted sharply, instinctively looking back towards the falling wrecked body, intending to completely pulverize it but discovered the opponent had already entered the ’dead body’ state where they couldn’t be killed.

The broken body began to rapidly repair according to the rules of death....

At this instant,

The world seemed to come to a standstill.

Thump thump...

Thump thump...

It’s as if you could hear the heartbeat of time’s passing.

In a moment,

Zong Qingsheng reacted first, but he couldn’t utilize the power of the military array, the Black Scale Army camp was hundreds of miles away, so he could only shout with all his might.

And his voice,

Simultaneously overlapped with Ying Siqi’s dying despair:

"Xu Changtian, you’re coming with me to die!!!!!!!!!"

"Mu Zhenbei, haven’t pulled Ying Siqi into this void devoid of Dao Charm!!!"

Before the words fell,

Marquis Wucheng, harnessing the power of the military array, had already pulled Ying Siqi into the void created by the ’Fallen Sun’ explosion.

And almost instantly,

To counter Xu Yuan’s entry into the ’dead body’ state where he couldn’t be killed, the prepared sealing array plate, was jointly unleashed by these powers atop Dayan, shot swiftly towards the rapidly repairing body.

And the next moment,

The sealing array plate emitted a pulsation that sent chills down the spine,

And the swollen form in Marquis Wucheng’s embrace burst apart.

Weak Death Dao Essence,

Like an eye slowly opening, was revealed to the world.

Just as everyone hoped that this Dao Essence could not form a Dao Domain, a life and death river, distinctly divided in black and white, appeared in everyone’s vision.

The figure once again appeared perfectly in the world.

No longer broken.

The Black Dragon Robe fluttered once more in the icy wind, its twin dragon eyes fierce as if gazing down upon all creation.

Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his dispersing voice like it came from the Nine Nether Cold Spring:

"I will not blame your choice, as a person, choosing to protect one’s interests is nothing egregious, it’s natural."

"But,

"For this future, I have already gambled everything of mine."

"Now,

"It’s your turn, world’s powerful ones."
