Chapter 343.
In the originally peaceful world, at this moment, under the palm of nothing, it turned into a dead land.
The devastation, the countless ruins, the endless broken walls, was shocking to the eyes.
Countless living beings ran in all directions under the huge palm that was covered in bizarre aura, but no matter how far they escaped, as long as they were swept by the bizarre aura, they would be turned into ashes in the sky.
None’s expression was indifferent, like an emotionless machine, no sorrow, no joy, no anger, no sadness: “You guys don’t blame me, I’m just begging for a perfect and transcendent race.”
“After you all die and become bizarre, it is a rebirth in another sense, it is a supreme new life.”
“Perhaps, you will thank me, but that doesn’t matter, I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do.”
The cries of living beings and the wails of despair resounded continuously in this world.
One expert after another rushed up to the sky, trying to block None’s destruction and killing, but they were as fragile as paper, turning into flying ashes in the sky in None’s hands.
Terrifying and brutal killings rose up in this world, like a wind that burned out the heavens and earth, constantly sweeping over the sorrowful earth.
In front of None’s eyes, black smoke appeared, transforming into a single text that represented the crazy rise in proficiency.
“When I have the strength to rival you, Zhou An, I will end everything with my own hands, and settle all the grudges, all of them.”
Wherever the eye passed, there was no one left alive, and the aura of death was spreading everywhere.
None left this world.
There were still many worlds that needed his descent, and proficiency needed to go to the liver to be practiced.
By the time None had left, the remaining humans, coming out of the various ruins, looked at the terrifying gloom in the sky.
This world was destroyed, countless bizarre, was gradually taking shape, bizarre aura spread all over the world.
The remaining humans, gradually turned into an existence called the Firmament ……
The Great Chu Kingdom, the capital city.
Emperor Xingwu was sitting in the imperial study, discussing with another big shot.
In front of him, there was a thick folded book, roughly a finger thick.
On the first page that was opened, there were densely packed names, and behind the names, the corresponding information and strengths were written.
Emperor Yun Qi, the Emperor of the Great Yue Country, was sitting across from Emperor Xingwu, drinking tea lightly, “Now that the list of those entering the rift has been completely finalized, how are the arrangements on the Hidden Master’s side?”
During this recent long period of time, the two of them had been here, discussing the list of people who would enter the rift.
This matter was very important, so important that it was a matter of life and death for the entire world, so every personnel determination had to be made to ensure that nothing was left to chance.
Not looking for anything else, the most important criterion, that was a clean birth.
If a traitorous renegade was sent in, it would only cause the entire chess game to fall into a state of perilous death, which was something that no one was willing to see.
Emperor Xingwu nodded and saw Emperor Yunqi finish his tea and filled it up for him again before saying, “There is no need to be concerned about the Hidden Master’s side, he is already a member of the Great Chu Kingdom, and he will be in charge of the operation this time around.”
“The specific situation is like this, the Hidden Master will take the lead, we will all go to the rift together, then through the rift, one by one, we will explore the worlds, if it’s a normal normal world, there’s no harm in it, if we encounter a predator, then we will completely exterminate it.”
With the line of hidden masters, they didn’t have to worry about the matter of the rift now, so the specific goal was on dealing with the marauders.
Emperor Yun Qi heard this and nodded, looking at the steaming tea and asked, “Will Zhou An participate?”
This was actually his biggest concern, if Zhou An participated, this time would definitely be a lot safer, and it would even increase the chances of winning by a considerable amount.
Emperor Xingwu laughed, “He is now staying in the house every day, and is not clear on what exactly he is up to, but he had said that if he starts this program, he will go and ask him to participate, so I intend to go and notify him tomorrow, and then spend half a month informing all the people on the list, to gather in the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom, and on your side go and notify the people of the Great Yue Kingdom as well. ”
“After half a month, it will be the time for the soldiers to send out the marauders, I will make the marauders, disappear cleanly.”
Speaking here, the always gentle and elegant Xingwu Emperor’s body rarely revealed a biting killing chance.
He had witnessed, with his own eyes, the fear of that soul-locked person, and knew what kind of characters those marauders were.
Like this kind of existence that had lost its humanity, Emperor Xingwu was equally ruthless when facing such people.
Emperor Yun Qi nodded and put down his teacup, “Then I will go, we will meet again in half a month.”
Afterwards, Emperor Yun Qi left the place.
Inside the imperial study, Emperor Xingwu was left alone again.
Emperor Xingwu looked around, then turned his head and looked towards a dark corner.
In the middle of the corner, Eunuch Wei’s figure shifted and slowly appeared accompanied by a sky full of Yin Qi.
Emperor Xingwu raised his eyebrows, “Eunuch Wei, you have taken another step forward.”
He could feel that the aura on Eunuch Wei’s body was much stronger than before, which was a sign of increased strength.
Eunuch Wei tucked his hands in his sleeves and nodded his head, “After I obtained the True Evil Sword Technique, I have been comprehending it day and night, and although I didn’t go to study it, after observing it, I have realized some principles similar to the eunuch’s line of work.”
Emperor Xingwu asked, “When will Eunuch Wei be able to recover his original body?”
Eunuch Wei shook his head and said, “It will take some time, for us, this is a path that we have never stepped out on before, there is no previous reference, everything is only based on us to feel our way, it’s quite difficult.”
Emperor Xingwu nodded, not lingering on this topic.
“Right now, the lands over in the Barbarian Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom have all been stabilized.”
“You’ve all returned as well, now, I can only rely on you for the matter of dealing with the marauders.”
He was the emperor, he couldn’t go, he had to guard the place in case the rear was empty.
Moreover, the existence of the Peak Ascension Realm could not go too much, like the Great Chu Kingdom could at most share out half of it, plus a Zhou An.
On the side of the Great Yue Country, it was estimated that only two or so could be deployed.
As for the other experts under the Peak Ascension Realm, they were also half and half out, after all, they still had to consider the safety of their side of the world.
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, this time our family will definitely not fail Your Majesty.”
Emperor Xingwu nodded, “Aren’t you going to see Zhou An?”
Eunuch Wei shook his head, “That kid is alone and probably doing his business, we know him best, it’s inconvenient to disturb him at this time, after half a month, we will have plenty of time to catch up with him.”
Xingwu Emperor and Eunuch Wei chatting are all business, but at this time the business chat is over, even an emperor, at this time also suddenly become gossipy.
“You and Yue Ming’s matter, how exactly are you going to deal with it, I heard about it, you said that you would give Yue Ming a satisfactory answer after everything is over, but it seems like you haven’t gone through with it yet.”
Eunuch Wei smiled bitterly, “Your Majesty, things come one after another, we don’t have the time for this, perhaps when the matter of the marauders is over, we will give Yue Ming a satisfactory compensation.”
The two of them chatted for a while longer, then Eunuch Wei led Emperor Xingwu’s folders and sent people to pass on the various experts in the Jianghu.
And while they were continuously setting up, Zhou An’s side, at this time, was still livering proficiency.
Due to the fact that after his last trip to that pure black garden, Zhou An’s recent mental state was extremely positive, and he had once again fallen into the frenzy of the Liver Emperor, just as he had done back in the An Ding County, using the Black Jade to liver the proficiency of the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressor Blade each and every day.
And the harvest brought under this crazy liver degree was also extremely rare.
In front of Zhou An’s eyes, a puff of smoke appeared and eventually coalesced into a line of text, transforming into the latest proficiency panel.
[Armor Breaking Evil Suppressing Blade (Punishing Guile) lv.14 (Speed +84, Accuracy +84, Sharpness +84, Breaking Defense +84, Punishing Guile +84): 20,000/2600,000]
[Demon Shadow of a Thousand Shadows (Punishing Guile) lv.13 (Speed +78, Dodge +78, Flight +78, Demon Shadow +78, Punishing Guile +78): 1/240000]
[Storage Proficiency 20000/220000]
During this recent period of time, he had raised the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressor Blade to another level, reaching level 14, with the attributes gaining a stack, while the Stored Proficiency was also used by him to raise the skill, Demonic Shadow Wannabe, raising Demonic Shadow Wannabe to level 13.
Now, Zhou An intended to continue to liver the proficiency of Armor Breaking Zhen Evil Blade, as this skill, was about to reach the next level of qualitative change.
For Zhou An, it was extremely useful.
But before that, he had one more thing to deal with.
Zhou An came to the door and opened it, and saw the little eunuch handing over a secret letter.
“Lord Zhou, this is what Eunuch Wei asked me to bring back, saying that it is related to the matter in the rift.”
Zhou An nodded and put the letter away.
Without having to think about it he knew exactly what was written in it.
It must be something about the Marauders.
Recently, although Zhou An had been livering proficiency in the house, it didn’t mean that he didn’t know anything.
On the contrary, every single day, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce would take a brief moment to send over the latest intelligence to him.
And among them, there was the matter of Eunuch Wei and other Peak Ascension Realm experts returning to the Imperial Palace.
In Zhou An’s opinion, now that all the aftermath work had been done, the lands of the Barbarian Kingdom, including the lands of the Da Qi Kingdom, were safe and sound.
When these experts returned, they were definitely going to deal with the marauders, so Zhou An was well aware of the importance of this secret letter.
After the little eunuch left, Zhou An did not nag, and opened the letter at the doorway, reading all the contents inside.
After reading it, he stroked his chin and fell into thought.
“Half a month is enough time for me to liver the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressing Blade to a qualitative change, and then raise the proficiency of one more skill.”
Zhou An’s current proficiency in livering a skill was twice as much as before, so half a month’s time, he felt, was completely sufficient.
With this in mind, after destroying this secret letter, Zhou An took the Black Jade and turned towards the room.
It was absolutely safe here, as this was the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom.
Nowadays, many experts of the Peak Ascension Realm had also returned.
If one were to say where was the safest place in the entire Great Chu Kingdom, there was no place safer than here.
With an innocent look, Black Jade was held by Zhou An and patiently followed behind him.
However, at this moment, the aura on Hei Yu’s body was extremely terrifying.
She exuded an aura that was by no means comparable to the Absolute Enlightenment Realm, but rather the Tong Tian Realm.
Recently, Hei Yu had fused four of the Eight Absolute Techniques, which was equivalent to fusing off half of them, and after fusing off half of them, she had already reached the level of the Ordinary Heaven Ascension Realm, and coupled with the fact that she was able to utilize the Eight Absolute Techniques in a flexible manner, today’s Hei Yu might be able to battle with the Peak Heaven Ascension Realm.
Not to say that she would be able to decimate the Peak Ascension Realm, but at least she would not be routed in a short period of time.
And according to Zhou An’s communication with Black Jade, as long as Black Jade fused two more gates to reach the level of six gates, he would be able to successfully reach the state of Peak Ascension Realm, and at that time, it was estimated that Peak Ascension Realm wouldn’t be able to gain any advantage in Black Jade’s hands.
After the eight gates and eight techniques were all fused, Black Jade might be able to cross over to a higher level, but that would also take time.
Nowadays, both of them were upgrading, and apart from the two of them, Ye Frost and Yu Hang’s side, likewise, had huge upgrades.
Ever since the last time, when Yu Hang was kidnapped once again, these two had fallen into a kind of crazy cultivation.
The two of them cultivated in different ways, Ye Frost cultivated by reading various Taoist techniques and relying on his supreme enlightenment of the Taoist Sect.
As for Yu Hang, he had temporarily resigned from his official position and embarked on an extremely long hiking trip by himself.
It was said to be a journey, but it was actually a process in which he was able to maximize his talent.
Not long ago, Yu Hang came back, and with all his fatigue, he found Zhou An.
After the two of them drank for a while, Zhou An learned that Yu Hang had encountered countless troubles along the way, and his talent was to solve the troubles and improve his strength.
After constant solutions, Yu Hang crossed into the Realm of Absolute Enlightenment.
Not only Yu Hang, Ye Frost similarly reached the Absolute Enlightenment Realm after a long period of seclusion.
The two of them, in themselves, had supreme talent, and now even the peak Absolute Enlightenment Realm could not help them.
Unless they were at the Heaven Ascension Realm, they would be a horizontal existence in this world.
In this regard, Zhou An felt very happy.
After all, these two were able to ascend and were relatively much safer.
This courtyard, at this moment, was illuminated by the silvery moonlight, as if it was sprinkling a silver gray that fell on the clean lapis lazuli.
At the corner of the courtyard, there was a water well.
This was the place where Zhou An drew water on a daily basis.
Whether it was the front yard or the back yard, there was that one water well for easy access.
Zhou An walked straight towards the backyard.
Just at this time, when he passed by that water well, all of a sudden, Zhou An stopped and turned his head to look at this water well, his brows slightly furrowed.
On weekdays, the water well was normal, and it was also able to take water to drink normally.
However, at this time, Zhou An sensed a trace of an unusual aura.
There seemed to be something in this water well.
Zhou An thought in his heart, and then the Eye of Chaos gradually spread, spreading continuously towards the bottom of the water well.
A moment later, Zhou An finally realized that something was wrong.
Within this water well, there seemed to be so much instability that was constantly fluctuating within it.
Zhou An stroked his chin, then brought the black jade and walked towards this water well, “Seeing this meaning, it seems like it’s towards me again… Who is it again, a visitor from the other world? It seems like there should be this possibility.”
Nowadays, in this side of the world, Zhou An could be said to have no enemies.
What with the Verticality, Wild Taoist Sect, Wild Buddhist Sect, including the Barbarian Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom, all of them had already been overthrown.
Then at this time, those who suddenly came looking for trouble, other than the weirdness, Zhou An could only think of those people from the Otherworld.
After all, the people from the Otherworld who had been killed recently were indeed quite a lot.
That silver-colored creature dying in his own hands could be a curse.
Thinking about this, Zhou An had already arrived in front of this water well, from the silver moonlight, Zhou An looked down and found that the water inside was sparkling, and it looked as if there wasn’t anything in general.
However, the fluctuations inside were indeed extremely obvious.
“It’s not good to come out from wherever, but to come out from the water, do you think it’s looking for death?”
Zhou An narrowed his eyes and ticked his finger.
In the next moment, this calm well of water suddenly produced a violent fluctuation.
It was as if the water in the surface changed from invisible to tangible.
Under Zhou An’s manipulation, it vibrated violently.
In the depths of the water well, that trace of abnormal fluctuation was immediately surrounded and pulled by the water, as if it wanted to completely tear the object in the fluctuation apart.
And with this water fluctuation, the next moment, a strangely shaped person, appeared from within.
It was a woman, wearing a light yellow dress that looked completely different from what this side of the world was wearing.
And the strangest thing was that above this woman’s forehead, two split horns were sticking out, looking extremely exotic.
When Zhou An saw this pair of horns, he was suddenly reminded of his previous life, a certain special hobby crowd.
“I’m sure that this state of being in the previous life would definitely make those guys swoon.”
Zhou An thought like this in his heart, then raised his right hand and slightly shook it at the sky.
The boiling water, as if controlled by Zhou An, quickly wrapped around this exotic yellow clothed woman and rushed up into the sky.
It was accompanied by a scream that resounded in the dark night.
The woman who was in the water current, the goose yellow dress on her body, was wet by the water current, and her hidden white skin, under the thin dress, was constantly shaking.
And the silver moonlight sprinkled down, adding a few points of hazy beauty.
“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me.”
The woman with long horns on her forehead clasped her hands around her knees, trembling slightly, a pitiful expression on her face.
Zhou An raised an eyebrow, then hooked his finger.
Driven by the current, the woman came before Zhou An.
“Who are you?” Zhou An said indifferently.
The woman wearing a goose-colored dress looked at Zhou An with awe as she said, “I come from another world, may I ask if you are Zhou An?”
Zhou An was slightly stunned, then frowned, “Another world, why do you know my name? And what is your name?”
“My name is Dragon Spirit.” The Dragon Spirit said in a trembling tone, “I came over here just to look for you, I tried my best to get through the rift alone, and encountered so many, many dangers, just to come and tell you that you’re already wanted by the Marauders.”
Zhou An sniffed and froze slightly, then thought of something.
“You mean, that silver-colored, liquid-like creature that passed on my message?”
If there was anything else that could make him wanted by the so-called Marauders, Zhou An could only think of this.
After all, that silver-colored creature, being half technological and half metaphysical world, might have some means of revealing himself.
Even if they were already dead.
The Dragon Spirit nodded and said weakly, “They are also Marauders, and there is a group of Marauders that share information with each other, so all the Marauders know about you, but there are no coordinates right now, so no one has been able to find them.”
“They are looking for it, and once they find it, they will attack in force and prioritize decapitating you.”
Zhou An sniffed, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
This result that he had just gotten did not seem to be much different from what he had guessed.
However, before that, Zhou An felt that there was another matter that was more interesting to him.
What was the so-called Marauder’s Wanted was not important at all, what was important was that even the Marauders were unable to find the world he was in, so why was this woman called Dragon Spirit able to accurately find him again, this was the most important thing.
Zhou An raised his left hand and slightly closed his five fingers.
As he made this movement, the pressure of the water current suddenly increased.
Dragon Spirit was in the midst of it, only feeling that the water current around her wrapped her entire body, and there was a terrifying pressure that swept her away.
If a few more points were added to it, her body would be completely crushed by this water current.
Long Ling’s eyes carried a hint of shock.
She finally realized why this man was wanted by the entire Marauders.
Just this skill of manipulating water currents was enough to shock her.
Dragon Spirit was a smart woman, she knew exactly what Zhou An wanted to ask, so without waiting for Zhou An to ask, she flew back, “I once arrived in your world a long time ago, so I left behind coordinates, I am a symbiote, I am not a predator.”
Before the words were finished, an auburn-colored blade light flashed by.
The Dragon Spirit lowered his head and looked at the long black blade that pierced through his chest, he could no longer care about the pain in his body and raised his head, his face full of incredulity, “Why, don’t you believe me?”
Zhou An shook his head, “You marauders are indeed good, just this acting skill of yours alone, you are already able to fool a lot of people, but unfortunately, your arrival seems to be not the right time.”
In front of Zhou An’s eyes, there was a golden eight trigrams that only he could see.
At this moment, a pure golden color carried a wisp of black.
This was the evil omen, and it came from this woman.
He had just begun to project this woman’s identity during his chat, and with this strength of Zhou An nowadays, wanting to project something was as easy as a slap in the face.
After all, the Heavenly Worker Divine Calculations had long been different from the past.
So he projected this woman’s identity, thoroughly.
This woman was the Marauder.
“We will eventually find you.”
The Dragon Spirit’s face gradually changed and looked at Zhou An with a teasing look, “Unfortunately, I only came over with a splash of my doppelganger and found it by mistake, I didn’t have the time to leave the coordinates behind, but we will eventually find your world and destroy everything completely.”
Zhou An smiled, “Actually …… many thanks for coming over to find me.”
The Dragon Spirit froze slightly, always feeling a trace of ominousness that rose in his heart.
