Ch. 564 - Sniping The Demon Sovereign

“Don’t worry. Although I’m the Holy Son of the Supreme Primal Sacred Ground, my current achievements have nothing to do with them. That place was just a stepping stone,” Primordius said with a shake of his head and a smile.

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave,” Jiang Mochou said calmly.

“I really like your battle physique,” Primordius said with a smile.

“Then try taking it,” Jiang Mochou snorted coldly as flames rose around him.

“You misunderstand. The battle physique is great, but it’s not suitable for me,” Primordius replied with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened. A dark gray mist spread across the sky.

In that moment, ripples of the Eight Trigrams appeared around him, slowly spreading outward.

The once-noisy forest fell silent instantly.

It was as if the air, time, and space had all come to a stop.

Everything around was a misty gray, as if returning to a time more ancient than ancient itself.

“The Fourth Battle Physique: the Primordius Immortal Physique.”

Primordius spoke calmly.

“What is more primal than chaos is Primordius. Primordius is the beginning of existence, the nameless state of being, the first arising of the One before it took form. Primordius is the origin of the Dao. Primordius means the first appearance of true essence.”

“You…” Jiang Mochou fell silent for a moment as he looked at the scene.

“I am Primordius, and Primordius is me,” Primordius said with a smile. “When you’ve healed, I will defeat you in front of the whole world.”

“I’ll be waiting,” Jiang Mochou replied calmly.

Primordius then waved his hands, and the gray world faded away. As the world returned to normal, his figure disappeared without a trace.

“This world really is huge,” Jiang Mochou looked up at the sky, laughed softly, and sighed.

He then sat down in the forest to recover from his injuries. This trip to the Supreme Primal Sacred Ground had been far more dangerous than expected, especially with Primordius’s appearance.

Even though he had the Third Battle Physique and had learned many divine techniques from his master, he was still no match for someone at the God Meridian Realm.

Jiang Mochou decided to return to the Infinite Immortal Mountain and train until he reached the God Meridian Realm before facing Heaven’s Will.

Seven days later, his injuries were fully healed. Only then did he rise into the air and head toward the Infinite Immortal Mountain.

About half a month later, using the token his master gave him, he navigated the endless mist and returned to the Infinite Immortal Mountain.

The Lord of Nihility was still there, living in a small wooden hut on the mountain, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

When Jiang Mochou returned, the old man was watering his herbs.

Jiang Mochou waited silently until the watering was done before softly greeting, “Master.”

“You’ve grown a lot on this trip,” Lord of Nihility looked at Jiang Mochou and smiled.

“Master, I’ve avenged my great grudge,” Jiang Mochou said. “The mission you wanted me to complete, I can now do it without hesitation.”

“When I first took you as a disciple, I did have selfish reasons,” the old man said warmly.

“I know. In this world, who can really say what’s right and wrong,” Jiang Mochou smiled. “Without you, I wouldn’t have made it this far.”

“I have only one request, for myself and for all living beings,” Lord of Nihility said seriously.

“When the day of destiny comes, I want you to snipe the Demon Sovereign.”

“Snipe the Demon Sovereign?” Jiang Mochou asked in confusion.

“It doesn’t matter who becomes the final emperor. The only goal is to kill the Demon Sovereign. Don’t let him carry this era’s Heaven’s Will,” Lord of Nihility said. “Don’t worry, you won’t be alone. You’re just one part of the sniping plan. We’ve been preparing for a long time.”

“I understand,” Jiang Mochou said seriously after a moment of silence.

“Good. That means you’re worthy of the Third Battle Physique,” Lord of Nihility said with satisfaction. “I’ll help you break into the God Meridian Realm. We’ll meet again on the day of Heaven’s Will.”

……

On the seventh day of his journey to the Void Valley, the giant Darksky Tiger was running at full speed.

People who saw the tiger along the way all kept their distance, afraid to get too close.

Because of that, Xu Zimo’s journey was uneventful.

On this particular sunny day, Xu Zimo had already entered the territory of the Imperial Throne Sacred Ground, leaving behind the domain ruled by the Vast Immortal Sacred Ground.

As the strongest power in the Skyluan Region, the Imperial Throne Sacred Ground had lived through the era of Three Grand Emperors in one lineage. It was a true giant.

From the Prime Heaven Emperor to the North Emperor and then the Thunder Emperor, this sect had ruled most of the Skyluan Region’s history.

That day, as the Darksky Tiger walked forward, a loud explosion suddenly came from underground.

The entire crust began to shift. The ground collapsed as if a prehistoric beast were awakening beneath it.

The earth shook violently.

The quake was so wide and intense that in just a moment, a whole section of land sank.

The Darksky Tiger didn’t even have time to run, it fell down along with it.

The explosions under the earth grew louder and could be heard from dozens of kilometers away.

Not long after the explosions started, several figures came flying in from the distance.

The nearest city was called Heaven-Beast City.

Its lord was a transformed beast of incredible power. He had once saved a Grand Elder of the Imperial Throne Sacred Ground and was rewarded with the role of city lord.

In this city of ten thousand beasts, humans and monsters lived peacefully together.

They didn’t interfere with each other and even formed friendships.

Among the approaching figures, the fastest was a sky eagle.

This eagle was dozens of meters long, with rainbow-colored wings and gloomy brown eyes.

Its sharp cry pierced the sky, and its wings stirred up a storm as it flew like a streak of light to the earthquake site.

Then came another sharp and harsh cry as the sky eagle's physique glowed with spiritual energy.

Its physique began to transform, and in the blink of an eye, it became a man in green robes.

His large robe was embroidered with images of various monsters.

The green robe covered his whole physique. He stood silently, gazing at the direction of the quake, deep in thought.

The earthquake lasted unusually long, almost the time it takes for several sticks of incense to burn. Then came a loud rumbling sound.

A blood-red palace slowly rose from underground.

Besides the green-robed man, many wandering cultivators had also gathered nearby.

As the blood-red palace appeared, a chime-like voice rang out, “I am Bai Changfeng. In seven days, my legacy will open, waiting for those destined.”
