Chapter 330.
The aftermath of the explosion, which was unceasing, not only produced the first wave, but also spread for several rounds in a row.
Zhou An was wrapped in Eunuch Wei’s Yin Qi and was separated by a great distance, so the waves he received were actually not much.
Everyone present was a peak Ascension Realm expert, and when Zhang Ze exploded like that, the crowd reacted extremely quickly, so they didn’t suffer any harm either.
That barrier had only become a few points thinner, other than that, it had not been penetrated.
When it was all over, the scene was a mess, like ruins.
Zhang Ze’s body, which was made up of machinery, had long since gone up in smoke, and there wasn’t even a single piece of wreckage left.
As the Yin Qi dissipated, Zhou An revealed his form, looked around and shook his head.
“Everything, it’s over.”
Even though they did not get a living victim, they did not actually want any living victims.
Now that everything was over, Zhang Ze’s death meant that the threat of the remaining members of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms had disappeared.
“As for the other peak Ascension Realm experts ……”
As Zhou An thought of this, he turned his head to look at those peak Heaven Ascension Realm experts from the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms lying on the ground, “Eunuch Wei, make your move, with Zhang Ze’s death, those remaining remnants in the Misty Space must have sensed it as well.”
For Zhou An, next, there was no need to leave any survivors.
It had already been completely exposed anyway.
Of course, it didn’t matter if they were exposed, the remaining ordinary Ascension Realm experts were nothing more than minions.
There was no threat whatsoever, even if they all came out, they would not be able to turn a big storm.
After Zhou An finished saying this, Eunuch Wei struck first.
Only to see the Yin Qi transform into a continuous attack, wrapping up the peak Ascension Realm experts lying on the ground.
These people themselves had lost their ability to resist, and were nothing more than fish and meat to be slaughtered.
Even if Zhou An were to make a move, he would be able to easily overpower them.
When the Yin Qi swept through, it immediately obliterated the lives of these Peak Ascension Realm.
Only a piece of ash remained at the scene.
In fact, before this, Zhou An and Eunuch Wei had discussed whether or not to leave them behind.
Now, after waiting for the Barbarian Kingdom to be destroyed, their goal would fall on the weirdness in the rift.
If they were to stay, they might still be able to serve as some living force, and for the time being, it seemed that there were enemies from other worlds.
These people might even be able to serve as a helper.
But after careful discussion among the people, it was ultimately decided not to leave these so-called helpers behind, and to directly exterminate them all.
The reason was simple, because these people looked like they were all peak Ascension Realm existences.
However, under the incorrect mindset, it was possible that in the end, they would become their enemies instead.
In case a fire started in the back during a fight, that would be the most unbearable.
Therefore, killing them directly would be a good thing for Zhou An.
After doing this, Zhou An suddenly took two steps forward and came beside Eunuch Wei, then turned his head to look at Assassination Star.
In the midst of the explosion just now, Assassination Star had also defended itself against the aftermath of the explosion through special means.
At this moment, Assassination Star was filled with fear as he watched his companion die, rather like a rabbit dying.
Until this moment, when Zhou An bet his sight over, Assassination Star suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and it felt as if he had fallen into an infinite winter.
He was able to clearly feel a touch of teasing in Zhou An’s eyes.
Assassination Star quickly reacted, trembling unceasingly, “Lord Zhou, you did say just now that you would let me live, and you also said that you are the most honest of all, known as the Honest Little Lang Jun.”
By this time, if he still couldn’t understand the meaning in Zhou An’s eyes, then he would really be a wasted person.
In fact, before this, he had been gambling that the other party would be willing to spare him.
But now, it seemed as if the bet had been lost.
While speaking, Assassination Star put his hands behind his back, the short stabs already appearing.
Since there was no escape, he wanted to put up another fight.
Zhou An had a smile on his face, “I did say that, but Eunuch Wei and the others didn’t.”
As soon as these words were uttered, before they were finished, Assassination Star moved.
Assassination Star stepped out first and his figure disappeared in place.
Zhou An immediately felt a terrifying killing aura that surrounded him.
This was the unique killing aura from the Assassins that sent chills down one’s body.
Assassin Star now knew that he had no way to escape, but he still had one more thought in his mind, and that was to kill Zhou An.
All of this, if it wasn’t for Zhou An, how could one have fallen to such a state?
He had lived for so many years, he must not die here, even if he died, he had to pull Zhou An on as his back.
The Dark Killing Star side made a move, Eunuch Wei’s side likewise made a move.
Although the Assassination Star had already hidden itself in the black shadows and disappeared, it was difficult to defeat the Peak Ascension Realm experts present.
It was still the same as just now, when each Peak Ascension Realm expert struck out, it was a ranged attack, and when this ranged attack was stacked together, it would cause anyone at the same level to feel heartfelt fear.
“Boom!”
Only a violent roar could be heard as a figure suddenly emerged from nothing and flew out backwards, landing on the ground.
Assassination Star’s body was all covered in horrifying wounds and was already in pieces.
He crawled on the ground, and with gloomy eyes, he gazed at Zhou An: ”You’re going to die! You will absolutely die! I’m just one step ahead of you, but I’ll wait for you down below, and when you come down, I’ll settle the score with you!”
At this moment, he no longer had the slightest chance of winning.
But if he didn’t say these words, he would feel that there was no way to evacuate that resentment in his heart.
When Zhou An heard these words, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a smile, “Under this sky, there are many people who want to kill me, but I am just alive and well.”
“Don’t you care if I’m dead or not, you can go down in peace first.”
After saying that, an ebony-blue blade light blossomed on the long black blade, as if it was a flower that signaled death.
The ebony-blue blade light detached from the black long sword and penetrated the Assassination Star that had already run out of oil.
Assassination Star stared at Zhou An with wide eyes, as if he wanted to memorize Zhou An.
Zhou An did not give him this opportunity, and as he gently waved the black long knife, there were countless more ebony-blue colored blade lights that completely surrounded the Assassination Star and chopped it into a piece of flying ash.
Only after doing this did Zhou An put away the long black blade and looked towards Eunuch Wei and the others.
At this moment, the barrier around them had already been withdrawn, and Eunuch Wei and the others were frowning in thought, as if they were thinking about something.
Of course, Zhou An knew that they were thinking about something, and it was nothing more than thinking about the identity of Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze during the Hundred Kingdoms Battle was silent and nameless, only to suddenly appear at a critical moment, and unable to find out his origins.
Zhou An’s guess just now should not have followed much difference.
Not every one of those contaminated worlds had a system or category like the current one.
With the robot that Zhang Ze had just transformed into, Zhou An felt that it might be some world that combined machines with metaphysical means.
Eunuch Wei tucked his hand in his sleeve and said, “Perhaps, it is time to speed up the pace, the matter of the Barbarian Kingdom cannot be delayed any longer.”
These words were addressed to the Far West King.
Originally, everyone thought that after settling the matter of the Barbarian Kingdom, the world would be at peace, or at least their goal from now on, would be the shenanigans in the rift.
But now what was never expected was that the invaders from other worlds would be added to the mix.
Since this was the case, it would be better to fight a quick battle and settle the Barbarian Kingdom once and for all, so that they could also work together to deal with the next dangers.
Hearing this, the Far West King nodded, “This king will immediately go back and communicate with his majesty, and it is estimated that in a month’s time, he will send his troops to the Barbarian Kingdom and settle it once and for all.”
With these words, Eunuch Wei and the others were quite relieved.
Nowadays, the two countries were all grasshoppers tied to a rope, everyone had to be on the same page, or else no one would be better off with their lips dying and their teeth chilling.
Zhou An looked left and right and realized that there was nothing else here, so he arched his hand and said, “Seniors, since there is nothing for me to do, I will go back first, I still have things to do.”
Proficiency still needs a liver ah.
He would be moving towards the Absolute Enlightenment Realm now, and when he reached the Absolute Enlightenment Realm, Zhou An estimated that he would be able to arm wrestle with the existences of the Peak Ascension Realm.
So for now, for Zhou An, the most important thing was to raise his level of strength.
The crowd nodded and had no intention of retaining Zhou An, they had their own things to do as well.
Zhou An didn’t nag any further, and then he led the Black Jade, leaving this room and walking towards his own room.
It didn’t take much time to return to his own house from here.
It didn’t take long for Zhou An to start livering up his Xuan Shadow Slaying proficiency.
Night had gradually descended, and the silvery moonlight, covered this land.
Zhou An’s room was quiet, with only his figure remaining, disappearing and reappearing from time to time.
Black Jade was honestly sitting next to him, looking as if he was bored, but in fact, he was also grasping for time to fuse the Eight Absolute Techniques.
This side, in their own busy, while the barbarian country side, at this time the barbarian emperor, do not know why, only feel a piece of panic in the heart.
This is intuition.
Perhaps for ordinary people, this kind of intuition, is the most useless, but for them these experts, sometimes, intuition is more useful than some facts.
The Barbarian Emperor went back and forth, walking in the imperial study.
A moment later, he stopped in front of the dragon chair and slowly sat down.
“There’s definitely something going on, otherwise it’s impossible for me to be so flustered, but what is it now that would make me feel bad.”
“Unless it’s on the side of the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom, any other situation is impossible.”
The Barbarian Emperor tapped the armrests of the dragon chair with his fingers, and a moment later, he violently stood up and lifted his feet to walk out of the imperial study.
Outside the imperial study was an empty courtyard that looked empty, but in this one courtyard, quite a few experts were hidden.
The Barbarian Emperor said to an empty corner, “Go and get Master Kusuo to come here.”
At the corner, a shadow shifted and turned into a person shrouded in a black robe.
After this person appeared, he didn’t say anything, only respectfully bending down, he turned around and left this courtyard.
After about an incense stick of time, Senior Grass Cultivator hurried over with hurried footsteps.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, before he could speak, the Barbarian Emperor waved his hand at Supreme Master Grass Cultivator.
“Don’t say anything, you follow me out.”
Senior Grass Cultivator was slightly stunned, but he didn’t say anything, and after silently nodding, he followed behind the Barbarian Emperor.
The Barbarian Emperor lifted his feet and walked towards the outside, and soon, they were out of the palace.
On this journey, no one dared to look this way.
And the doubts in the mind of the Grass Cultivation Master were gradually being solved.
If there was any situation that could make the Barbarian Emperor leave the palace, it was probably only that one possibility.
It was clear in the mind of Supreme Master Grass Cultivator that the Barbarian Emperor was ultimately unable to resist and wanted to open that door.
Soon after the two of them exited the palace, they arrived at a remote location.
The location where the Barbarian Kingdom had fled was originally deserted and uninhabited.
When they arrived at this remote location, it became even more desert-like.
At this time, Venerable Grass Cultivator also finally couldn’t help himself and asked, “Your Majesty, are you really planning to do this, isn’t there still time?”
He was indeed puzzled in his heart, after all, the two had already communicated and exchanged before, deciding not to release the people inside for the time being.
But now they had changed their minds temporarily, something must have happened here.
The Barbarian Emperor turned his head and said in a very serious tone, “I felt panicked just now, so I have now decided to make a move.”
When those words were spoken, Senior Grass Cultivator immediately fell silent.
As one of the oldest people who had followed the Barbarian Empire, he knew very well that the Barbarian Empire was right to feel this way.
A long time ago, when the Barbarian Kingdom was targeted by all the countries, it was because of this feeling that the entire Barbarian Kingdom was able to escape.
Now that it had reappeared again, one could only say that Supreme Master Grass Cultivator had chosen to support it.
Thinking about this, the Grass Cultivation Supreme Master said, “Your Majesty, whatever choice you wish to make, I will follow you.”
The Barbarian Emperor nodded and stopped talking.
It was a desert, and after the two of them walked to the most barren part of the desert, a path leading underground appeared before their eyes.
In the curious eyes of Senior Grass Cultivator, the Barbarian Kingdom Emperor led him into it.
After following this path to the ground for roughly an incense stick of time, finally, they arrived at an immense and incomparable space.
It was extremely vast, but dark and lightless.
Fortunately, both of them were experts in their own right, so even without light, they were able to see clearly.
At the very front of this space was an ancient and heavy stone door.
Above the stone door, there were complicated patterns inlaid on it, transmitting a heavy sense of age.
Not only that, but there was also a terrifying aura that pressed in like a mountain.
And in the leftmost position of this stone door, there was a hole as tiny as a hair, which looked insignificant.
The Barbarian Emperor stretched out his hand, and on his right hand, a rectangular metal bar had surfaced.
Without any nonsense, after he came outside this stone door, he exerted his hands, and the metal bar immediately turned into a piece of ash, and a key composed of golden light appeared.
When this key appeared, it immediately carried a powerful aura, as if it could break through the clouds.
Even as Senior Grass Cultivator stood next to him, he felt the terrifying aftermath, causing his heart to tremble.
In his heart, Supreme Master Grass Cultivator thought, “No wonder His Majesty had to seal it with something, with this kind of aura, in case it is perceived by someone else and then revealed to the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom, I’m afraid that the unlucky one will be us.”
With such a thought in mind, Senior Grass Cultivator respectfully stood by the side and waited patiently.
The Barbarian Emperor slowly tightened his hand, and the golden light gradually weakened, and what eventually surfaced above his palm was just a pale yellow ancient bronze key.
Above this stone door, there was a keyhole that happened to match this key.
Without any hesitation, the Barbarian Emperor inserted the key in his hand and gently rotated it.
Throughout the entire process, no one spoke or stopped it, as if all things were supposed to happen this way.
And when the key was rotated, this stone door began to shake wildly.
The Barbarian Emperor waited patiently, and when the stone door’s shaking gradually decreased, and finally came to a slow stop, he raised his hand and pressed it against the stone door, pushing it open directly.
Along with the stone door being pushed open, the scene inside was revealed in front of them.
Inside was a space composed of mist, and its true appearance could not be seen.
However, a shadow composed of mist could be seen flickering inside.
The moment the stone door was opened, the mists began to gradually dissipate.
“This is exactly the same as the scene I explored back then.” The Barbarian Emperor said slowly.
He was a bit impatient, and then, he roamed his gaze all over this space.
The mists completely dissipated under his sight, but the scene inside made him feel chilled to the bone.
Each and every expert that was filled with the aura of age was also looking at him at this moment.
These experts were permeated with a powerful yet ancient aura, but they were not the people the Barbarian Emperor was looking for.
This was because the highest of these people was only at the level of the Ordinary Ascension Realm.
Most importantly, at this moment, this group of figures that were permeated with a sense of age were shivering inside, as if they had encountered an extremely terrifying existence.
The Barbarian Emperor froze.
He was now tempted to say a word.
Where exactly did so many peak Ascension Realm experts go?
This sentence was not uttered because someone could no longer withstand the pressure and sat paralyzed on the ground, going insane.
“What the hell is going on!”
Anger erupted in the eyes of the Barbarian Emperor, “You! Tell me!”
He casually pointed his finger at a person from the Ordinary Heavenly Ascension Realm.
The person being pointed at was a remnant of the Hundred Kingdoms Battle, having lived for an unknown number of years.
However, at this moment, there was a look of fear.
Especially after being pointed at by the Barbarian Emperor, he trembled slightly and subconsciously spoke.
“Dead, all dead, those peak Ascension Realm existences, all of them are dead.”
After these words were spoken, the Barbarian Emperor only felt as if it was a bolt from the blue, and his entire person froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.
“Dead, how could they be dead! I didn’t even open the door and it’s all dead!”
The Barbarian Emperor, who was the head of a country, at this moment, powerlessly wanted to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, the nearby Grass Cultivation Senior Master reacted extremely quickly, instantly pulling the Barbarian Emperor’s arm, so that the Barbarian Emperor would not lose his temper.
“Your Majesty, calm down, the more panicked the moment, the more calmly you have to deal with it.”
Senior Grass Cultivator reminded in a low voice.
The Barbarian Emperor’s face was extremely pale, “How can I be calm?”
All of his chips were here, and this was the only means he had left to fight against the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom.
But now, this only means is gone, let him calm down, how to calm down?
Sometimes, only when one was in the middle of a maze could one feel that heavy pressure.
The Barbarian Kingdom Emperor smiled bitterly, “I may have to be ashamed of your expectations.”
With just these few crooked ones, even if there were more of them, they would only be at this level of the Ordinary Ascension Realm.
Against the peak Ascension Realm experts of those two countries, it was like a mantis without the slightest effect.
The Barbarian Emperor took several deep breaths, then stabilized his body with force, “You guys tell me more in detail.”
The one who spoke at the very beginning continued to tell the story once more.
“Fishhooks?”
“Fished them all out?”
The Barbarian Emperor only felt that this was one of the most inarticulate jokes he had ever heard, “How is this possible?”
No one answered him again, but the expressions on these people’s faces told him that everything was exactly like that.
The Barbarian Emperor clenched his fists and said nothing.
Then, as if he remembered something, he waved his hand and said, “Right now, there is only one path in front of you, and that is to follow me, or everyone will die.”
He was now out of options, as his last cards were gone.
However, he knew that he could no longer retreat, so he would use these ordinary Ascension Realm experts to fight to the death with the other side.
Although the hope of victory was slim, it was better than being decimated by the other party after giving up.
The remnants of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms in the misty space looked at each other, then silently stood up.
It was also clear to all of them that it seemed like the only path left for them was this one.
The Barbarian Emperor sighed, turned around with a grave expression on his face, and prepared to leave.
As for what would follow, he would have to go back and think about it.
Even if he died, he would at least bring disaster to the other side.
Right at this moment, a subtle sound suddenly rang out, attracting the Barbarian Emperor’s attention.
Outside of this misty space, a body composed of silver-colored liquid suddenly appeared.
Along with the appearance of this body, a voice, indistinguishable from gender, slowly came out from it.
“My companion died, and I crossed this extremely long distance to find the mark he left behind.”
“But he is dead, tell me! Just who killed him!”
“A peak Ascension realm existence?”
When the Barbarian Emperor saw this silver-colored body, he was immediately on guard.
Subsequently, a wave of national fortune, unique to the emperor’s lineage, swelled in his body.
But before he could strike, the area of the silver body’s eyes lit up with a red light.
Immediately afterward, a picture appeared in midair.
In the picture, Zhou An holding a fishing rod and fishing Zhang Ze out, as well as the many experts surrounding him, and Zhang Ze’s final self-destruction, were gradually imprinted in front of everyone’s eyes.
The Barbarian Emperor froze, ”Fishing? It’s Zhou An, this God damned little thief!”
“He ruined everything for me!”
