"Realizing this now, it's already too late!" The Central Sovereign became increasingly frenzied, a fierce and triumphant expression spreading across his face.
For a long time, the Central Sovereign had been on high, regarded as a genius since his days as a prince. Indeed, he was a genius; by the age of thirty, he had already reached the Great Ascension stage. Several of his royal brothers had perished at his hands. In terms of both martial prowess and cunning, none could match him. He had challenged many masters and had faced numerous challenges himself, but he had never lost.
It wasn't until the Heavenly Mechanism Mountain Battle that he faced an unprecedented setback. He had brought hundreds of thousands with him to eliminate Zhao Yang's mysterious backer—the legendary Divine Monkey. However, instead of the Divine Monkey, he encountered a Consort of Rain. Even with the aid of the Ten Divine Generals and the use of National Treasures, he failed to kill this woman. Not long after, he faced the existence behind Xuanfo Temple—the seemingly childlike Xuanbing Buddha—and suffered a crushing defeat, held in their grasp like a mere mouse. If it weren't for the Old God General's intervention, he might have died.
Thus, after nearly a century of life, the Central Sovereign finally recognized his shortcomings. For the first time, he felt an intense desire for power. To become stronger, he endured pain and practiced day and night, studying several forbidden Evil Techniques that the royal family had always prohibited. Ultimately, he resorted to using the Jade Purity Vase, which could only be employed during national disasters, to absorb the powers of past Old Emperors, becoming the most powerful figure in the cultivation world.
The Central Sovereign was ecstatic. When he saw four Old Monsters in the Tribulation Period surrounding him being crushed to death by a single finger, he was completely immersed in the satisfaction brought by this boundless surge of power. Now, six Transcendence Stage Experts who were protecting Zhao Yang and others were injured by him; even the Dragon Queen was no match for him. Furthermore, it was rumored that the strongest figure in the cultivation world—the Consort of Rain—had nearly fallen to his hand!
The Central Sovereign stepped forward, looking down at them as he slowly spoke: "In my life, I have killed countless people, yet I don't understand why I hesitate when facing you all. In this world, there are indeed few who dare oppose me; would it be a pity to kill you?"
"You are pitiful," Zhao Yang suddenly lifted his head to look at the Central Sovereign.
"Oh? Do tell me how I am pitiful," the Central Sovereign replied calmly; he was confident that even if Zhao Yang could summon more people, he could still eliminate them.
"Because from beginning to end, you have always been alone. No one stands by your side; even if there were, it would only be under your tyrannical rule," Zhao Yang said slowly.
"You are mistaken," the Central Sovereign laughed heartily, unaffected by Zhao Yang's words.
Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, I was wrong."
This surprised the Central Sovereign slightly as he asked in return: "What did you get wrong?"
Zhao Yang replied: "I was wrong to regard you as human because perhaps you have lost all semblance of humanity and do not possess true human thoughts. You believe that only the weak speak of ideals and genuine emotions from your lofty position. Initially, I wanted to ask you—who are you strong for? What is your purpose? I imagine your answer would be that someone as strong as you no longer needs to prove anything to anyone and certainly does not care for the sentimentalities of the weak. But that's not true; in reality, you never have."
Upon hearing Zhao Yang's words, the Central Sovereign paused for a moment before nodding and saying: "Indeed, born into royalty, what true feelings can there be?"
Baliang scoffed, "Why do you never consider that it might be your own fault?"
The Central Sovereign laughed heartily, "How ridiculous! Here I am, discussing these clichés with you. Even if you are right, what can you do to stop me from killing you?"
Zhao Yang replied, "Can you really kill us?"
"Fine, let's see who dares to obstruct me. Whoever is hiding there, come out!" The Central Sovereign suddenly swung his sword towards the void beside him, causing it to shatter. An old man staggered out.
"What are you doing here?" The Central Sovereign's anger flared upon seeing the newcomer; it was the Old God General.
Seeing the Central Sovereign, the Old God General bowed and said, "Your Majesty has already achieved unparalleled merit and become the true Number One in the World. Even the Consort of Rain is not your match, and the Xuanbing Buddha is severely injured and unable to recover. Why must you go to such extremes? Why not spare these people?"
The Central Sovereign coldly glared at the Old God General and said, "Who I choose to kill or spare is not something you need to teach me."
"If Your Majesty insists on ignoring my advice, then go ahead and kill this old man first," the Old God General replied.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" The Central Sovereign snorted coldly. "Just for calling yourself 'this old man' in front of me, you deserve to die!"
With that, the Central Sovereign swung his sword toward the Old God General's head, but the venerable warrior closed his eyes.
A loud clang echoed like a great bell being struck. The Central Sovereign felt a numbness in his hand as the Sky Piercing Sword trembled violently, emitting a buzzing sound.
"A senior who has devoted himself to protecting the Zhongzhou Dynasty ends up being killed for it. This child is ultimately an ungrateful wolf raised in vain; why should you show him mercy?" A woman in black descended from above, speaking slowly. She was none other than the Ice Snow Consort, who had come following the crowd's aura.
"Consort Yu, how are you?" The Ice Snow Consort asked as she looked at the Consort of Rain, who was staring blankly at the sky.
"Consort of Rain" said softly, "I think I just saw him."
"Ice Snow Consort" sighed and turned to the "Old God General," saying, "You have lived for a thousand years; can't you let go?"
The "Old God General" looked on with pity and trembled as he spoke, "In those days, the 'Old Emperor' was like a mountain of kindness to me, and he was a hero unmatched. Who would have thought his descendants would become heartless demons!"
"Demons can also have feelings and loyalties," "Zhao Yang" replied. "At most, he has only become a petty fool."
"Are you done?" The "Central Sovereign" seethed with rage, waves of "Imperial Way" energy rippling around him. "If you're done, let's die together!"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the "Central Sovereign" vanished. In that instant, "Ice Snow Consort" raised her hand to conjure an ice wall. The "Sky Piercing Sword" was blocked by the ice wall, but the "Central Sovereign" passed right through it!
The "Old God General" pulled "Ice Snow Consort" back a step while he himself was pierced through by the "Central Sovereign." He spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "He has cultivated the royal 'Evil Technique' to merge with the void, allowing him to pass through any object!"
"Is there such a 'Cultivation Method'?!" Everyone gasped in shock.
"It's too late to know!" The nine shadows of the "Central Sovereign" suddenly descended from the sky, swirling around "Ice Snow Consort" and the "Old God General," like a hurricane capable of tearing everything apart! "'Nine Turns of Infinite Primordial Energy,' Eighth Turn, Soul Burning and Spirit Extinguishing!"
Under the effects of the "Nine Turns of Infinite Primordial Energy," both the "Old God General" and "Ice Snow Consort" felt as if their souls were ignited by something, leaving them utterly drained and on the verge of unconsciousness.
"Save them!" "Ji Wudao" swung his sword forward. Before the sword light could reach its target, it was sent flying by a palm strike from the "Central Sovereign," shattering a large rock.
The other five rushed forward upon seeing this but were ultimately no match for the "Central Sovereign," all spitting blood as they fell under his overwhelming power.
At the critical moment, Central Sovereign suddenly let out a terrible scream, clutching his head in agony.
A red light flashed in Zhao Yang's eyes, and a few drops of blood trickled from his nose. He too was in pain, covering his head as he attempted to use Divine Sense to harm. Only he could do this among those present, and it was directed at the immensely powerful Central Sovereign.
"I will kill you!" Central Sovereign roared, brandishing the Hunting Immortal Spear as he charged at Zhao Yang.
However, suddenly, Central Sovereign screamed again, his skin cracking in thin lines.
Pudu Shanni appeared beside Ice Snow Consort, a crystal ball-like Phantom forming in his palm. Within the Phantom reflected a figure—Central Sovereign himself!
Yet at that moment, Central Sovereign seemed to calm down, allowing his skin to crack further as blood flowed freely from him. Strangely, there was no white left in his eyes!
"Just killing a few juniors. I never expected one after another to appear. Even a dog raised by my royal family has betrayed me. You have forced my hand; I will make you all pay the price. Even if I must endure the torments of hell for eternity, burned by flames forever, I will eradicate every last one of you!"
Boom!
Central Sovereign's physical body suddenly exploded, flesh and entrails scattering everywhere. Yet everyone felt as if they had fallen into hell when a Specter appeared before them, sending chills down their spines.
"This is bad; it's the ultimate Forbidden Technique passed down through the Zhongzhou Royal Family for millennia!" Old God General exclaimed.
