Chapter 339.

Outside the Barbarian Kingdom’s capital, this empty and chaotic clearing was littered with ashes and a broken wall, which made one feel shocked just by looking at it.

One’s huge palm came down and wiped out all of the Barbarian Kingdom’s soldiers, while Zhou An’s two swords went down and resolved the Barbarian Kingdom’s Emperor and the Grass Cultivation Upper Master.

Here, it had long since become empty.

The surroundings were quiet and no one spoke, but the eyes of the many Peak Ascension Realm experts carried a hint of emotion.

In the beginning, the four countries had gradually balanced out from the era of war and chaos, and it was unknown how many days and months had passed, with no one being able to do anything about it.

But nowadays, only the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom remained from these countries.

And only a short period of time had passed since their overthrow, which was just a snap of the fingers for people in the trade with long lives.

No one could have imagined that it would be so quick, and that it would be resolved.

Eunuch Wei’s eyes bet on Zhou An, his face carrying a complex color.

Not only him, even the other Peak Ascension Realm experts also cast their eyes onto Zhou An.

There was a hint of emotion and excitement in their eyes.

These Peak Ascension Realm experts also understood that the destruction of the Barbarian Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom had an indelible relationship with this young man with a straight figure in front of him.

From the time this young man had risen to prominence in Anding County, walking upwards step by step and eventually reaching his current position, the destruction of the Barbarian Kingdom seemed to have become a foregone conclusion that no one could rewrite.

And all of this was because of Zhou An.

Zhou An was being watched by the crowd, and then rubbed his chin: ”Is it hard to believe that the way I made the sword just now was handsome? Are all of you handsome by me?”

An occasion that was originally quite serious immediately became unserious because of Zhou An’s words.

The crowd shook their heads, suddenly giving birth to a strange thought.

This fellow, he was still young, that was solidly young.

Unlike them, on the surface, they looked like their faces hadn’t changed, but everyone was old.

Just such a young man had already overtaken them.

At this moment, the feelings of those suppressed Heaven’s Pride were completely understood by the crowd.

Questioning Heaven’s Pride, understanding Heaven’s Pride, and becoming Heaven’s Pride.

Eunuch Wei waved his sleeve, then tucked his hand in his sleeve again, “Gentlemen, even though the matter of the Barbarian Kingdom is now resolved, there are still quite a few things that need to be aftermath, so it’s better for everyone to step up their efforts to resolve these things that should be aftermath.”

“After all, these matters are more important than exterminating the Barbarian Kingdom’s Emperor.”

A country’s head and peak Ascension Realm experts had all been killed, and the vast majority of it had actually been resolved, but the aftermath was something that had to be dealt with, otherwise the world would still be in chaos.

The crowd nodded, and next, they carried out the scene from before in the Great Qi Kingdom, which was the division of territory.

It was the same old story, these peak Ascension Realm experts that made all the Jianghu people look up to them, at this moment, it was like buying food in a vegetable market, haggling with each other.

Even if it was a small piece of land, they would argue for a long time, and even started to quarrel, with a tendency to make a move.

Of course, Zhou An knew that they would not make a move.

After all, everyone had experienced a battle of life and death, if not for the two countries, at this moment, I’m afraid that they had all set up a table and had a big drink.

For the matter of dividing the land, Zhou An didn’t have much feeling, what he was thinking about now was not long ago, what Yang Lao said.

Elder Yang said that he should go to the Psychic Space after he finished with this side of things.

Zhou An felt that there must be something important going on here, otherwise he wouldn’t have called himself over.

Thinking of this, Zhou An stroked his chin and interrupted the bickering of the crowd.

“Seniors, I have something to do.”

The crowd all bet their eyes over, not understanding what Zhou An meant.

The Far West King frowned, his expression slightly subtle.

He felt that just now, when everyone was arguing, they were evenly matched with each other.

But once Zhou An was added, their side might have to be at a disadvantage.

When the time came, the amount of territory to be divided would be unknown.

After all, although Zhou An was the guest of honor of the Great Yue Country, he himself was a member of the Great Chu Country and would definitely help the Great Chu Country.

Who had thought that Zhou An was not interested in these things, but instead spoke his thoughts out.

“Everyone, you guys share here first, I have to go to the Psychic Space, Elder Yang’s side called me for something.”

There was no doubt as to who Elder Yang was, everyone was clear about it.

That was the emperor of the entire Great Domain Dynasty.

Everyone had heard what Elder Yang had said just now, so they didn’t let Zhou An stay here any longer and all nodded in agreement.

The Far West King was also relieved.

As long as Zhou An didn’t join in this quarrel, then they wouldn’t lose much when it was divided later.

Zhou An didn’t nag, taking the Black Jade with him, he immediately opened up the passageway of the Psychic Space and walked into it, quickly disappearing above this clearing.

On the clearing, after Eunuch Wei and the others saw Zhou An leave, they began to argue about the matter of dividing the territory again.

Zhou An didn’t bother about these things, at this moment, he had already passed through the passageway of the Psychic Space and arrived at the Psychic Space.

Just after arriving, Zhou An realized that there was a flash before his eyes, and immediately after, he was already in the middle of a black palace.

In the black palace, those reliefs from the ancient times revealed an aura of magnificence and sadness.

Each of the reliefs represented the sign of the fall of an ancient sage, so even if he stood here, he could still feel the brutal war back then, and the scenes of these sages’ generous deaths.

Elder Yang and Green Clothes were already standing outside the black palace, waiting patiently.

In front of them, a table was placed with four stools around it.

Zhou An walked over with Black Jade, and without being polite, he casually sat down, and there wasn’t any food on it, it was empty.

Now that everyone was talking about things, naturally they wouldn’t care about this.

After Zhou An took his seat, Elder Yang and Greenie also sat on the stool.

Afterwards, Yang Lao slowly opened his mouth and spoke in detail about the things he had encountered in the otherworld, including what the owner was doing and what he was thinking.

After Zhou An heard this, he directly froze on the spot, looking at Yang Lao in amazement, and said in an unbelievable tone, “Elder Yang, the path you’re taking, is to be the common emperor of many worlds?”

To say that the emperor’s line of work was particularly outrageous.

If one was an ordinary person with no strength at all, as long as one had a powerful country within this line of work, then one could inherit the fate of the country and instantly become a top expert.

Of course, there would be a lack of combat experience, there was no doubt about that.

But this was also one of the quickest professions.

Zhou An also understood what Elder Yang meant just now.

Yang Lao was trying to unite those people from other worlds, so that they would jointly honor themselves as their masters, and then allow the line of his Emperor to continue to proliferate, ultimately raising his own strength.

And those who stayed in the otherworlds were the stalwarts that Zhou An had learned about in the beginning.

They would not covet other people’s worlds, nor did they want to go and live in symbiosis with other people, so they would die to hold on to their own worlds, doing the most grueling things, and becoming a speck of light in that dark world.

For Yang Lao’s idea, Zhou An actually didn’t know how to express it.

It could be done, but it was difficult.

Even with the presence of the Floor Master, it was still quite troublesome.

After all, the secret hand that the Floor Master left behind in each world was not to be a leader, but instead to be a transmitter of information.

When the Floor Master was transformed into a Creepy, he was able to know the movements of the Creepy, and when he turned into a human, he was also able to inform all of those movements.

So to have the building owner be the middleman, those stalwarts in the world wouldn’t necessarily agree, after all, if they really wanted to agree, they wouldn’t have become stalwarts, they would have long since become marauders or symbiotes.

After seeing Zhou An’s expression, Elder Yang also knew what Zhou An was thinking and said, “I’m actually talking to you about this, but I’m also just telling you what I think, I’m not asking you to make decisions.”

Zhou An nodded and asked, “Then senior, you just said that you asked me to come in and have something important to talk about, what exactly is it?”

Since he had just said that it wasn’t this matter, there must be something else.

Zhou An was also curious as to what the matter was after all.

When Zhou An asked this, Yang Lao finally gave an answer.

“When I do this matter, I will probably concentrate on it in the future, so I will most likely have no time to care about this world.”

“After all, I and Green Clothes, in the process of entering other worlds, will be infested with pollution, and after being infested, when we return to this world, we will have to use all of our strength to wipe out the bizarre aura, and restore it to a state of equilibrium.”

“Within this process, I and Green Clothes are unable to make a move, or else the balance will be destroyed, and at that time, it is likely that we will lose consciousness.”

Zhou An sniffed and stroked his chin, “Indeed, the two seniors’ half-human, half-creepy auras are very well balanced, and if they were to disrupt it, it would in turn lead to disaster.”

“So while we are recovering, I hope you can watch over this world for us.”

Green Clothes interjected from the side, “After all, in a situation like today, if we were balancing the bizarre aura when you came to us, we would most likely not be able to make a move.”

Zhou An frowned, “Is it just that?”

He felt that if it was just a word of caution, it was impossible to tell him to come here, and he should have just made it clear at that time.

As Zhou An asked these words, both Elder Yang and Green Clothes glanced at each other, and immediately after, Elder Yang spoke out the key point of calling Zhou An in this time.

“I feel that a single-minded defense is always broken, so it is better to take the initiative in order to multiply the victory and solve everything.”

Zhou An’s frown grew deeper.

He was listening to what these two were saying, meaning that they were taking the initiative to capture other Otherworlds.

But if that was the case, not to mention the question of whether or not they were marauders, how they were going to get there was a big problem.

After all, their world, which had not been completely contaminated, did not have that kind of method or ability to leave, and even more so, they could not find a specific entrance or exit.

If they couldn’t even solve this problem, it would simply be impossible to turn defense into an active attack.

Yang Lao shook his head and said, “I know what you’re thinking, I’m not asking you guys to become some kind of predator, after all, what these guys are doing, I’m extremely displeased with.”

“What’s more, it hasn’t come to that yet, if they all went to be marauders, wouldn’t this side of this world be completely empty?”

After these words were spoken, Zhou An became even more puzzled.

Instead of being a predator, could it be a symbiote?

In Zhou An’s thought, apart from the Marauders and Symbiotes, the Firmament was even more unlikely, after all, this world of theirs, at the moment, was not at a point where it needed to be firmed up.

Yang Lao shook his head once again and said, “We’re going to deal with the Marauders, and take the initiative in order to live in peace.”

Against the marauders?

After hearing these words, Zhou An thought about it for a little while and finally figured out what exactly Elder Yang meant.

It meant that when facing those Marauders that attacked them, it would be better to go directly to counterattack instead of just defending.

If one could do the math this way, if one could dispatch well, it might actually work.

But for the time being, there was another most important issue.

Zhou An said, “And how are we going to find them?”

Yang Lao slowly said, “For the moment, I have no way, but there might be a way on the owner’s side, so I will immediately go to find the owner once more, both to solve my matter, and likewise to solve the matter that I just talked to you about.”

“And I’ve called you in, but I’m also going to let you go and tell those current emperors after I’ve finished talking to you about these things, so that they can get ready, if they want to preserve the world, or even deal with the weirdness, this step should be a must.”

With the words spoken to this point, everything had been made clear.

Zhou An also roughly understood the exact situation.

He thought carefully, then nodded his head in agreement.

Green Clothes stepped forward, but did not bother with Zhou An, instead looking at the Black Jade next to him, carefully sizing it up, his face filled with praise.

“Not bad, the progress of the fusion of the Eight Extreme Skills is very good, you should be close to the Ascension Realm.”

Black Jade had been staying next to Zhou An, and after hearing Green Clothes speak, she cowered behind Zhou An, only poking a head out and resting it on Zhou An’s shoulder, resting her chin against him.

She just gave a soft hmmm and didn’t want to say much.

Black Jade was likewise half-human and half-creepy, so she could feel the terrifying aura on Greenie, as well as the abilities that were very similar to hers.

Originally, the Eight Extreme Techniques were taken off from the Hundred Techniques of the Miscellaneous Sect, and the Hundred Techniques of the Miscellaneous Sect were organized and created by Green Clothes, so there was indeed a connection between them.

Green Clothes still had a regretful look on her face, “It’s simply a pity that you don’t become the Lord of the Miscellaneous Sect.”

Zhou An sniffed and frowned, shielding Black Jade behind him, “Senior, this thing really won’t work.”

Green Clothes sighed, “I’m just saying, you brats are really protecting her, forget it, if you can’t do it, you can’t do it.”

Zhou An didn’t pull more on this topic, arching his hand, he said, “Since the two seniors are done talking about their matters, I’ll take my leave and leave first.”

After experiencing this matter, nothing was actually finished, with the current emergence of even more terrifying people from other worlds, as well as the ultimate root cause of the strangeness, so Zhou An felt that even though he possessed the strength to hit the peak Ascension Realm, he still had to move up.

What’s more, not too long ago, the pure white figure had once said that he still had an ultimate archenemy, and that was Guile who possessed the same golden finger as him.

As long as every choice he made, the part he didn’t choose would fall on that Guile.

That was his ultimate enemy.

That was why raising his strength was most important.

Elder Yang and the two of them nodded and agreed.

They also did not leave Zhou An alone.

Zhou An stayed in the Psychic Space for a while longer, and after he had livered the Double Proficiency, he left the Psychic Space and returned to the outside world.

By the time he returned, the crowd had also divided up the territory already.

When Eunuch Wei saw Zhou An return, he walked up and asked what had happened in there.

Zhou An did not nag and explained everything that had happened.

The people present listened to it all and then fell into deep thought.

After a while, the Far West King slowly spoke.

“This king thinks that this method is feasible, after all, whether it’s this king or all of you here, neither of them are the type of people who are defensive, everyone is more used to taking the initiative.”

“Since that’s the case, then we’ll submit this matter to His Majesty, and Your Highness, I’ll trouble you to submit it to Emperor Yunqi as well.”

Eunuch Wei said, “As for the aftermath, naturally, it should be synchronized as well.”

The people nodded and all agreed.

Zhou An did not stay behind, these matters had nothing to do with him, he had to hurry and find a place to liver proficiency.

Currently, proficiency was the most pressing thing.

These Peak Ascension Realm experts stayed behind to take care of the aftermath, while Zhou An directly found a place to start, along with Black Jade, livering the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressor Blade’s proficiency.

Time gradually drained away, and in the blink of an eye, a very long time passed.

During this period of time, the Jianghu could be described as a huge stone thrown into a deep lake, causing a huge uproar.

First, there was the matter of the Barbarian Kingdom’s destruction, the entire Jianghu was stirred up by this matter, and it took a long time before calmness was restored.

And then, the legend about Zhou An was also gradually circulated in this world’s rivers and lakes.

With the Absolute Enlightenment realm, he was able to decimate the Peak Heavenly Ascension realm, a full span of a large realm.

Although everyone understood that it was a very simple matter for Zhou An to fight his way up against the odds.

However, after hearing that he was able to kill the Peak Ascension Realm, especially those young generation’s prides, at this moment, they all felt a wave of sweat on their backs.

They all kept their mouths shut as they remembered the things that had offended Zhou An before.

After all, the Zhou An of today was capable of destroying a powerful force with a casual strike.

As this matter gradually festered, there were legends about Zhou An that were spreading more and more outrageously.

Some people said that the reason for Zhou An’s rise from An Ding County was because of Zhou An’s aunt.

Zhou An’s aunt cultivated Zhou An’s strength, and in order to make Zhou An’s strength get qualitative changes, even at the expense of using her own life, became Zhou An’s soul under the knife.

Although this claim was not very scientific and did not have any basis, it was becoming more and more rumored to be outrageous.

It was even said that Zhou An’s aunt was an existence beyond the Peak Ascension Realm, and had infused all of her life’s learning into Zhou An, who was able to make breakthroughs without any bottlenecks as long as she practiced.

Because of this, Zhou An’s aunt lost her life.

Anyway, about the aunt’s matter, in the Jianghu has circulated many versions, more and more confusing.

And in response, Zhou An himself said that after hearing the news, his aunt could indeed rest in peace underground, after all, this was also considered a honorable thing.

As for the subsequent matters of the Barbarian Kingdom, Eunuch Wei and the King of the Far West and others, in conjunction with the influx of talent, also gradually calmed down.

The entire Barbarian Kingdom, too, gradually returned to normal.

Nowadays, both the Great Qi Kingdom’s land and the Barbarian Kingdom’s land had been divided.

The entire world was divided into two parts by the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom.

It was reasonable to say that a situation like this dual confrontation was actually not too solid.

After all, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and one could not let others sleep peacefully on the side of the couch.

But now, after having a common enemy, the two countries entered a kind of honeymoon period like glue period, mutual exchange.

In this regard, many of the jianghu people understand, that common enemy, in turn, let the world peace.

And this period of time down, the most let the crowd can not understand, is Zhou An’s low-profile.

If it is a young man, under such an achievement, will certainly come out to fool around, even if it is a little low-profile, will appear from time to time.

After all, whether it was a young person, or those of the older generation, it was a normal thing to be able to have this kind of achievement and show it off.

Even if Zhou An came out to show off, no one would feel that there was anything wrong with it, because those who felt that it wasn’t so good had already become the dead souls under Zhou An’s sword.

However, ever since that incident, Zhou An had almost never gone out of the front door, just in the newly repaired house given to him by the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, never going out of the house.

Even when he took a bite of food, it was the people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce who sent it up.

They didn’t understand what exactly Zhou An was doing, but no one bothered, no one asked, just guessing for no reason.

Only Zhou An himself knew clearly that he had fallen into a very obsessive state during this period of time.

He was frantically livering proficiency, and had continuously improved his strength.

And after this period of frantic livering, his two skills were raised to level thirteen.

In front of his eyes, a puff of smoke appeared, and the latest two level thirteen skills, appeared in front of his eyes.

[Armor Breaking Evil Suppressing Blade (Punishing Guile) lv.13 (Speed +78, Accuracy +78, Sharpness +78, Breaking Defense +78, Punishing Guile +78): 1/240000]

[Heaven and Earth in Pot (Punishing Guile) lv.13 (Strength +78, Destruction +78, Seal +78, Refinement +78, Punishing Guile +78): 1/240000]

[Storage Proficiency 0/220000]

After raising each skill by one level, there was a surprising addition of six points of proficiency, and after he raised the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressing Blade to level thirteen, he immediately used the stored proficiency to raise the level of Heaven and Earth in the Pot.

Now, the two skill boosts allowed Zhou An to advance one point further in his strength.

His current strength was the Absolute Enlightenment Realm, and the next realm was the Ascension Realm.

Regarding some of the specifics of the Ascension Realm, Zhou An had also looked for Eunuch Wei to talk about it in detail, and Eunuch Wei had answered all the questions about the Ascension Realm one by one for Zhou An.

Zhou An also finally realized why there was the name of the Heavenly Realm.
