The mysterious figure dared to do these things because he was well-prepared.
And in this era, he was certain that no one understood the dynasty better than he did.
Jiang Yun, as the Master of Destiny of this generation’s first dynasty, merely inherited the blessings of his predecessors. Although he knew much, he was unfamiliar with the true details.
Or rather, the current Human Race simply did not understand what the Demon Clan represented.
Some things did not happen without cause; power came easily, but the price was far more terrifying than one could imagine.
The Human Race had always been exhausting the pond to get all the fish, severing their own retreat.
Even without his presence, their demise was inevitable.
“Since that is the case, you should all make some contribution!”
Be it the Human Race or the Demon Clan.
For him, as long as he could achieve his goal, everything was worth it—naturally choosing to sacrifice the Human Race over the Demon Clan because of his identity.
“Run away, run as far as you can, but the bitter fruit of the cage you’ve created must be consumed by yourselves!”
With that, he sat upon something resembling a sanctuary; the sanctuary was covered with incredibly complex patterns that dizzied anyone who looked at them.
After sitting down, his spirit directly connected with some existence.
Before long, the Black Fog Giant Python roared in the Spirit World, where it was the best method of psychic attack in the midst of battle.
Heavenly Father, already not at an advantage, could no longer withstand it and promptly retreated.
Soon, Heavenly Father disappeared once again in the Spirit World without a trace.
A vast majority of the Spirit World was covered by the black fog, seeming to transform into another world, while a portion was encroached upon, and the remaining part was completely unaffected as if the contracting of power had resisted some of it.
Wang Sheng had always been paying attention to the changes in the Spirit World, and he heard that terrifying roar as well.
However, he only faintly perceived it.
After hearing the roar, he felt that the Spirit World was undergoing further changes.
“It’s quieted down. Has the battle ended? Who won?”
One was an unknown mysterious Black Fog Giant Snake, and the other was Heavenly Father.
Both of them seemed like difficult opponents, and if forced to choose, he hoped both would die.
“Let’s go see what happened!”
For him now, the Spirit World was a place where he could come and go freely, and whether entering or leaving, he maintained self-awareness and needed not fear ambushes.
The Spirit World was still quite important to him; he needed to check the situation.
Of course, the main reason he dared to enter confidently was that he had not previously sensed a deadly threat from either the Black Fog Giant Python or Heavenly Father, thus feeling secure.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have entered without breaking through several times first.
He had previously left due to uncertainty about the specific situation.
Now, having observed the stability, he could go and see what had happened.
“If something’s wrong, I’ll leave immediately.”
Wang Sheng once again used the Jade Talisman to travel to the Spirit World, and in the blink of an eye, his Spiritual Body re-entered.
But the Spirit World was now different from before.
Previously, countless threads of spiritual power flowed out in the pristine white world.
Now, those thread-like spiritual powers still existed, but they looked more like black fog, which shrouded the Spirit World.
It seemed eerie and terrifying, like an Abyss Hell.
“Judging by this, it seems the Black Fog Giant Python won. I don’t know if the Spirit World has changed, but like before, there’s no danger. Let’s see if the vortex is still there.”
The meaning of the existence of this Spirit World for Wang Sheng was to find the Heavenly Father and the knowledge vortex.
Quickly, he reached his destination.
“Good, the thing is still there. It’s changed from two to one and even the barrier exists now!”
The Spirit World was now fully integrated into one whole, no longer fragmented as before.
“Is the barrier because of the existence of the dynasty, because of the existence that defeated or even annihilated the Heavenly Father, isn’t it under the first dynasty?”
Despite his confusion, Wang Sheng did not dwell on it; the vortex was what mattered.
Despite such a significant change, he only hoped the vortex still contained its special knowledge. He explored with his Divine Thought, sensing the knowledge within.
“There’s no change at all, the essence of the Spirit World is the same, and the way it’s constituted is the same. This change is only a change in ownership.”
The knowledge within the vortex remained the same, which was good news for Wang Sheng.
It meant he could still gain knowledge beneficial to himself.
“However, with a new owner, where is this owner? The Heavenly Father was too afraid to appear before me; surely this new ‘owner’ hasn’t inherited these issues… Oh, so you’re here!”
Wang Sheng turned around with a smile fit for a villain.
How could he possibly enter such a world without any vigilance?
He had been on guard against all sorts of dangers.
When he was examining the vortex earlier, he sensed something approaching, but never made a move.
He wanted to see what this “new master” was really about.
“Roar!”
It was indeed the Black Fog Giant Python. Upon realizing it had been discovered, the python no longer concealed itself, revealing its form and attacking Wang Sheng with an endless surge of black fog.
“Power of seal?”
This black fog wasn’t an attack in the conventional sense but more akin to a sealing technique, which seemed intent on sealing him.
“Sealing techniques? Well, that’s coincidental because I know them too!”
Hao Hua!
The Five Internal Gods, the Metal Element, Hao Hua!
With Hao Hua’s appearance, it revealed its true form as the White Tiger. With a gentle flick of its tail, which seemed to transform into a ray of light, countless sharp, white blades of light appeared, instantly slicing through the enveloping black fog.
Even the surrounding fog was dispersed by the aggressive and powerful white light.
In Hao Hua’s first battle, it easily overpowered the Black Fog Giant Python.
Just like the Heavenly Father, the Black Fog Giant Python possessed a certain level of wisdom. Upon finding its techniques ineffective, it planned to flee.
But Wang Sheng wasn’t about to let it escape so easily. Chang Zai had been waiting, summoning endless mountains to crush the python.
He had thought that what followed would be a simple sealing process. However, Wang Sheng hadn’t expected the Black Fog Giant Python’s intelligence and understanding of seals to be greater than he had imagined. As soon as it detected Chang Zai’s power, its body began to dissolve.
The dissolution was rapid, almost instantaneous, quicker than Chang Zai’s sealing.
“Dissolution… It seems the ‘new master’ of the Spirit World has some tricks up its sleeve!”
The python had not dissolved before, but as soon as Chang Zai’s power appeared, it dissolved immediately. Wang Sheng didn’t believe the Black Fog Giant Python was completely in the dark.
After the Black Fog Giant Snake dissipated, there was no change in the Spirit World, which remained shrouded in black fog.
“The vortex remains unchanged, indicating the essence of the Spirit World is unaffected. The Black Fog Giant Python dissolved, yet the fog didn’t dissipate. Could its essence be the same as the Heavenly Father’s…”
“I wonder if the Spirit World’s ‘new master’ will appear again or what impact it might have on the outside world…”
This time, he simply hadn’t anticipated the Black Fog Giant Snake would dissolve so decisively. If it appeared again, escaping wouldn’t be so easy.
Then, he would like to see what set it apart from the Heavenly Father.
“Hopefully, it will come again!”
He hadn’t yet fully probed the vortex and probably would be coming to this Spirit World for a long time.
Unless the Black Fog Giant Snake stopped appearing, it was likely they would meet again.
Even if it truly didn’t come back, the existence of the Spirit World itself was not a loss.
Thinking these thoughts, Wang Sheng continued to study the vortex.
He had planned to digest his previous gains, but the calm that quickly settled over the Spirit World meant he could refine those gains a bit more.
…
And in the instant the Black Fog Giant Python dissolved, the figure on the altar noticed immediately.
“Is there a problem? Or is it a familiar place?”
He remembered that place well because it was where a Demon King’s secret had been discovered last time.
“There are not that many coincidences in the world. It is very likely the same person who can enter that place, surpassing limits… The emergence of such a person, is it to save themselves?”
He murmured to himself, uncertain who was speaking.
“What a pity… under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t need to die, but now, you’re not ready yet!”
The hidden figure beneath the fog did something, and a black pearl vanished into the Void, entered the Spirit World, and went directly into the bodies of two Black Fog Giant Snakes.
“Go, go to that place, and resolve the anomaly!”
This era would not tolerate the existence of anything that could cause accidents. If so, then the only option was to kill directly!
That person was very strong, but now he had resolved his enemy, he was not to be underestimated as before.
Of course, he didn’t know that similar tactics had been tried before but had ultimately yielded no results. This time, the resistance from the Heavenly Father was the lightest, almost casually dealt with before leaving.
If the Heavenly Father had not been afraid of being discovered, he wouldn’t have even resisted.
That place, probably no one other than the true body could stay.
Now, he had finally rid himself of this hot potato.
And it had been taken over by his enemy.
This might be one of the few advantages in this confrontation the Heavenly Father had.
Of course, the mysterious figure did not know this and began accumulating energy for his own purposes after sending things away.
Everywhere controlled by the Black Fog Giant Python, the outside world had subtly changed.
The real turmoil had come, and aside from the people of the First Dynasty, those of other dynasties had no idea what they were about to face.
Whether it was dynasties or kingdoms, all faced a terrible predicament…
