Chapter 29: Slaughtering the World Realm
The Desolate Era · 第二十九章 轰杀世界境
The Cave Heaven World.
On an island.
"Wild Dog, Xuan Yang." A vast voice echoed across the island. Among the group of Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals who had been eating and chatting, Wild Dog Ancestral God and Xuan Yang Ancestral God stood up simultaneously and replied respectfully, "Master."
"Control the puppets well and await my orders at any time."
"Yes, Master."
Wild Dog Ancestral God and Xuan Yang Ancestral God instantly transformed into two sturdy black puppets. Originally, these puppets were fiery red... but to conceal their identity, they had deliberately turned black, and their appearances had undergone slight changes. Once refined, the puppets' aura could be completely concealed. Some puppets with a puppet spirit, like Ji Ning's rock giant, were almost entirely equivalent to a new life form. The rock giant could fully conceal its aura; when it had transformed into a boulder earlier, Ji Ning hadn't even noticed.
The two black puppets stood on the island, waiting for Ji Ning's summons at any time.
"Time to fight."
"Yes, we've been waiting a long time. Before, we only sparred inside the Cave Heaven World. This time, it's a real battle."
They were filled with battle intent. Controlling these puppets gave them immense confidence. These three puppets had cost Ji Ning over six hundred square units of Chaos Nectar, and that was at a treasure-gathering auction where prices were already high. On average, each cost more than two hundred square units of Chaos Nectar. In terms of combat power, each was slightly stronger than the rock giant, and they could even form formations with each other.
...
Outside, in the Mist Sea of the Ten Thousand Gods Palace.
Hu Qiao World God and Hu Jie Chaos Immortal glanced at Ji Ning, spoke a few words, and then ignored him. In their eyes, an Ancestral God was nothing but an ant, completely on a different level of existence. Why would they care?
Their gazes fell on Fire Fairy Su Youji. Hu Qiao World God spoke, "Su Youji, knowing when to advance and retreat is the key to a long life. The life-bound oath we set for you will be quite lenient."
"What you need to do is very simple—just engage in dual cultivation. The taste of dual cultivation is wonderful," Hu Jie Chaos Immortal also yearned. To engage in dual cultivation with such a seductive and enchanting female Chaos Immortal—how he longed for it! He never thought he would have such an opportunity.
Both were threatening and persuading! Because capturing her by force was useless. Even if they caught her, if Fire Fairy Su Youji was determined to die, she could easily self-destruct. Even a slave could self-destruct effortlessly. So the master could oppress the 'slave,' but the slave had to feel there was a way out, a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, the slave would still be disobedient. Just like the slaves buried with Daoist Suifeng, who cursed him before their deaths. Unfortunately, they could only curse; there was no other way.
"Come on."
"Su Youji." They stared at Su Youji.
Su Youji's face seemed covered in frost. She transmitted to Ji Ning beside her, "Master, what should we do?"
"Since they are seeking death, let's spend some time..." Ji Ning looked at the two World-level cultivators, "Kill them!"
Ji Ning truly didn't want to act.
Because killing a World-level cultivator was no easy task. Although these two—Hu Qiao World God was at the peak World-level strength, and Hu Jie Chaos Immortal was at ordinary World-level strength—Ji Ning could certainly kill them, it would take considerable time. Earlier, he had hoped that a few exchanges of words would make these two World-level cultivators back off.
"I'll chase the bugbeast later. After all, I can sense its location. But it will definitely hide somewhere it considers very safe." Ji Ning felt even angrier at the thought.
...
"Fine." Su Youji gritted her teeth. "But let me see the life-bound oath first."
"Haha... that's more like it."
"Good, good, good. Beautiful one, rest assured, we won't bear to mistreat you."
Hu Qiao World God and Hu Jie Chaos Immortal were overjoyed. That such a female Chaos Immortal could fall into their hands was incredibly lucky. Hu Qiao World God waved his hand, and a golden orb flew out: "This is an Oath Stone. Take a good look, beauty. If you're not satisfied, we can modify it."
"Haha." Hu Jie Chaos Immortal beside him also felt an itch in his heart. This excited them even more than obtaining a few treasures. To have such a female slave—they had never dared to imagine it before.
"Who would have thought we brothers would be so lucky? Su Youji had just broken through to become a Chaos Immortal, and we encountered her." They were both full of anticipation, already imagining the scene of dual cultivation with Su Youji, their hearts growing hotter with expectation.
Standing in the distance, Ji Ning, who was beside Su Youji, had a cold look in his eyes.
"Attack!"
His voice echoed within the Cave Heaven World. At the same time, a black-skinned gourd appeared in front of Ji Ning. The gourd's mouth sprayed out countless bolts of lightning, instantly enveloping the surrounding area in countless Five-Colored Divine Thunders. Most of these Five-Colored Divine Thunders besieged Hu Jie Chaos Immortal and Hu Qiao World God.
"Damn it." Hu Jie Chaos Immortal's face changed drastically. The dharma robe on his body immediately emitted light, forming a protective barrier around him. But the Five-Colored Divine Thunders were too powerful; the light barrier around him shattered repeatedly, and the thunders struck his body one after another.
Around him, a ring of flying knives also circled, trying their best to block the lightning, but they only managed to block part of it.
"Pfft." Hu Jie Chaos Immortal's face turned ugly as he spat blood. He transmitted urgently, "Big brother, save me."
"Damn it, it's a divine thunder treasure." Hu Qiao World God was furious and anxious. "Hold on, I'll capture Su Youji and take that gourd from her."
Because the gourd was floating in front of Ji Ning, and Ji Ning was standing together with Su Youji, Hu Qiao World God and the other still thought the treasure belonged to Su Youji.
The Five-Colored Divine Thunders rampaged wildly, but Hu Qiao World God was extremely tough. He wore a Dao-grade lower-class armor, and his divine body was also powerful. He withstood the Five-Colored Divine Thunders head-on.
Swish!
Hu Qiao World God turned into a streak of light, charging straight at Su Youji, his eyes full of anger.
At that moment—
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Three puppets appeared out of thin air in midair: a rock giant and two black puppets. These three puppets attacked Hu Jie Chaos Immortal from different directions! Because Hu Qiao World God was charging at high speed toward Ji Ning and Su Youji, he didn't have time to stop and turn around before the three puppets had already reached Hu Jie Chaos Immortal.
"So fast." Hu Qiao World God's face changed drastically.
"Big brother, save me." Hu Jie Chaos Immortal was also greatly alarmed. Seeing the speed of these three puppets, he knew they were World-level puppets. He transmitted in terror. He was only at ordinary World-level strength, and as a Chaos Immortal, he was already flustered and completely suppressed by the pervasive Five-Colored Divine Thunders.
And now three more puppets? How could he handle that?
"Die."
The black puppet controlled by Xuan Yang Ancestral God directly threw a punch. The massive fist was extremely heavy and smashed straight over.
"Kill." Wild Dog Ancestral God fiercely kicked over.
"Roar~~~" The rock giant's two large palms simultaneously slapped over furiously.
Around them, a large amount of Five-Colored Divine Thunders wildly attacked Hu Jie Chaos Immortal, while Hu Qiao World God, who was charging at Su Youji and Ji Ning, had no time to rescue him.
"No—"
"Boom, boom, boom~~~" Puppet treasures were extremely adept in terms of strength. Among tens of thousands of World Gods, it was rare to find one who could match them in strength; they could only rely on their insights into the Dao to suppress puppet treasures. Hu Jie Chaos Immortal was already battered by the Five-Colored Divine Thunders. Now, he could only howl as he manipulated his ring of flying knives to block: "No—"
Boom~~~~
Hu Jie Chaos Immortal was smashed to pieces.
...
"What!" Hu Qiao World God, who had been about to attack Su Youji and Ji Ning, changed expression drastically. "These puppet treasures are too strong. They're not ordinary puppet treasures; each one must be worth over a hundred square units of Chaos Nectar."
"Whoosh." At this moment, Su Youji also transformed into a black puppet. Since Hu Qiao World God had already charged at her, she naturally didn't dare to engage in close combat.
"What." Seeing Su Youji also turn into a black puppet, Hu Qiao World God's heart turned cold. Four puppets? He could see that each puppet's strength was probably not inferior to his own. Four puppets working together could easily crush him.
"Flee."
Hu Qiao World God abandoned his plan to deal with Su Youji and turned into a streak of light, beginning to escape.
"Whoosh."
Wings crackling with lightning appeared on Ji Ning's back. With a single flap of his wings, he vanished in a flash. Although Hu Qiao World God's flying speed was also fast, under the siege of the Five-Colored Divine Thunders, his speed was affected.
"Hm?" Hu Qiao World God looked at the figure before him.
With lightning wings spread, the white-robed youth stood in midair, holding a blood-colored divine sword in his right hand, staring at him coldly: "You won't escape."
