Chapter 424: Chapter 7: An Equal Match in Strength_2
But inside, he felt utterly desperate.
He hadn’t realized it before, but now he understood.
He himself could only utilize the destiny of the Human Race, but the Demon Clan, an unintentionally appeared species, could utilize the combined destinies of both the Human Race and the Demon Clan.
The combined destinies of both species made their strength incomparable to his own.
He even began to think that perhaps the Human Race had truly unleashed a demon.
Of course, Jiang Yun had no thoughts of repentance; right now, he only wanted to survive.
He kept moving forward, his speed continually decreasing, while also constantly thinking of ways to escape.
Just then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, it seemed as though he sensed something, “Is the chance for life in that direction?”
This was just an intuition, without any basis.
However, being driven into a corner, Jiang Yun, like a drowning man, would grab onto any chance of survival without hesitation.
Without any doubt, he moved towards that direction.
After an indeterminate amount of time, just as he felt he couldn’t hold on any longer, he sensed a massive life force.
“Indeed, this is where life can be found.”
As long as he absorbed this entity, he wouldn’t say he could defeat the Demon Clan’s number one, but escaping would pose no issue.
Without any hesitation, he pounced directly upon it.
This cluster of life force, although very strong, was surprisingly easy to absorb.
Almost in an instant upon getting close, Jiang Yun absorbed it completely, not only healing all his injuries, but even making a slight improvement in his strength.
“I’ve recovered, but I can’t turn back to fight; I’m no match, I must run first and then plan for the long term.”
After the previous confrontation, Jiang Yun was all too aware of the strength of the Demon Clan’s number one, and he was definitely no match.
So the moment he recovered, he accelerated once more, willing to expend all his energy if necessary.
The Demon Clan’s number one, pursuing behind him, hadn’t predicted this turn of events and could only watch as Jiang Yun vanished before his eyes.
Of course, he had also sensed that life force.
His expression turned somewhat grim.
“Such an obvious thing, obviously not appearing naturally, is someone intending for Jiang Yun to escape?”
The Demon Clan’s number one looked around, eventually turning his gaze to the sky, even though there was nothing there…
“Is it you?”
Of course, no one answered his question.
After a while, the Demon Clan’s number one withdrew his gaze.
“Looks like they’re getting impatient, so I can’t waste time either, I must quickly digest this item, enhance my own strength, and resolve the internal threats!”
He could guess who had orchestrated the appearance of that glaringly obvious entity.
Unfortunately, he currently had no way of dealing with it; he could only return to cultivate.
“I hope Jiang Yun doesn’t do anything foolish…”
The Demon Clan’s number one left, knowing that with those people’s help, it would be highly unlikely for him to locate Jiang Yun.
With the time he had, it was better to cultivate properly.
Seeing him leave, the Kui Tian Monarch breathed a sigh of relief.
“The plan succeeded, that man’s descendant has successfully escaped, but as we predicted, the people of the Demon Clan are clearly aware of our existence.”
“No matter, as long as the plan goes smoothly, being aware is the same, we must make preparations in advance before that event arrives, the resources of a world can ensure our foundation is secure.”
“I naturally understand.” If it weren’t for this, they wouldn’t possibly cooperate together.
…
Having realized he’d completely escaped, Jiang Yun found a place to rest.
This chase had been fierce; if not for good luck, he might have really been done for.
“The Master of Destiny’s principles, to think they’d harbored such a pitfall, completely nurturing a tiger for mischief… Unfortunately, it’s too late for regrets now, I must find a way to solve the problem.”
If there’s no solution, as the Demon Clan’s number one grows stronger, he will inevitably be captured.
“Now without any way out, my trump cards… perhaps it’s time to reveal them, but still some preparations are needed to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
He used to have half the world under him, thinking he had a chance to turn the tables.
But after learning the truth of the Demon Clan’s strengthening, Jiang Yun knew that even if the empire still stood, what awaited him was ultimate defeat.
“I’ve got nothing left to lose now, even if uncovering the ancestral secrets backfires, I accept it!”
He already considered himself to have lost everything; there was nothing left to lose.
If he didn’t use his trump card now, there really wouldn’t be a chance.
He made up his mind and moved toward a direction.
…
After the first of the Demon Clan parted ways with Jiang Yun, a rainbow light descended upon the location of the First Dynasty.
Of course, that was the original location of the First Dynasty.
According to the memories of a National Guardian Level powerhouse, the First Dynasty had changed location due to its retreat.
The First Dynasty’s original site had actually been occupied by the first of the Demon Clan.
Of course, Wang Sheng had come here to search for the first of the Demon Clan, so naturally, he arrived at this place.
He hovered in the air, below was a gigantic city, within the city, there were many signs of life, but not a single one belonged to the Human Race, all were various types of the Demon Clan.
The once magnificent buildings had been turned into lairs of the Demon Clan, from a human perspective, this place was a demon’s lair, akin to human hell, with nothing else.
His Divine Thought swept over, and the strongest among them were three Golden Pythons, all surpassing the Grandmaster Level and reaching the National Guardian Level.
This also confirmed the previous speculation.
The Demon Clan could establish dynasties and surpass Grandmasters.
And now that the first of the Demon Clan had won, it probably wouldn’t be long before human dynasties would become demon ones everywhere.
In the face of absolute superiors, any rebellion was of no use.
Perhaps knowing this, within the city underground, the Demon Clan was reveling in a frenzied dance, greatly excited.
They all knew the first of the Demon Clan they were following had triumphed.
What came next would be their era of the Demon Clan.
This atmosphere, in contrast to the previous confusion and panic of the Human Race, was completely different.
“… Demon Clan… be destroyed!”
With different stands, it meant Wang Sheng would not let these demons off.
However, just as his Fist Force was about to fall, he sensed a huge crisis.
Without any hesitation, his Fist Force shifted directly toward the source of the crisis.
Boom!
That was an attack made up of innumerable Golden Scales, each scale capable of easily defeating a National Guardian Level powerhouse, emitting a chilling light, seemingly about to tear through space.
After colliding with Wang Sheng’s Fist Force, the two forces neutralized each other.
However, Wang Sheng’s expression became grave.
This person was very strong!
Although he had not used all his power, he had exerted perhaps seventy to eighty percent, yet he had matched his opponent evenly.
Keep in mind, the enemy might not have been using his full strength either.
Soon, a figure appeared.
This was an extremely bewitching man, with snake-like eyes emitting a chilling light, exuding a coercive aura, almost as if he was truly a giant python devouring the sky.
“Who are you?” the man asked first, “Why attack my kingdom!”
Wang Sheng instantly understood the man’s identity, replying, “Are you the first of the Demon Clan?”
“The first of the Demon Clan, compared to that, I prefer to be called ‘Zhong,’ as in the end of all things!”
“Zhong…” That name was intriguing.
The establishment of the First Dynasty was called “Qi,” and he represented “Zhong,” if there were no significance behind that, no one would believe it.
At that moment, Zhong continued to speak, “To withstand my attack, there should be only one person in this world. However, the person from before I sent fleeing with his tail tucked between his legs…your identity, let me guess. Ah, that region seemed to have had an anomaly, it appears it must have been you!”
Zhong knew of the strong powers in this world, aware of who were the formidable ones.
Aside from Jiang Yun, only the one who had erased the Spirit World could possibly be strong enough.
“I had wanted to find you, but now it seems you’ve come to me on your own accord, looks like there’s no need for the trouble!”
As he spoke, Zhong attacked without warning.
A sharp, huge snake tail appeared in front of Wang Sheng, intending to annihilate him.
Naturally, Wang Sheng would not just wait for his doom, striking back immediately.
Boom!
After one strike, neither gained an upper hand, it seemed to be a standoff!
