“Did he run away?”
Han Xuzi had turned into a beam of light that was just as spectacular as the one that appeared when he arrived. His escape was really beyond everyone’s expectations.
“A solemn Martial Emperor was frightened, and he just ran away.”
It wasn’t just the onlookers who were dumbfounded, even the Blood Shadow Princess was shocked.
“Awful! Quickly, go back to the imperial palace.” The Blood Shadow Emperor could feel that this dimension of darkness was going out of control, and a stifling and dangerous aura was emanating from it. The Blood Shadow Emperor decisively turned around and ran away, as did the two Martial Emperors next to him.
They would be able to get back to the imperial palace in just the twinkling of an eye, but, just as those three people had this thought, a dazzling blaze arose behind them.
The scene displayed in the mirrors present in all corners of the Spirit Zone was occupied fully by this blaze, and they couldn’t see anything else besides it.
Crack!
When the crowd had just started complaining, the blaze changed and all the mirrors were shattered. Then the Spirit Zone’s people couldn’t see anything, and their lands descended once again into serenity. They couldn’t imagine what had occurred in the great battle on the other side.
However, the destruction of the mirrors reminded people that the Almighty Experts watching the battle there were probably affected by it and perhaps they had all died.
“Imperial father…” The Blood Shadow Princess stood within the imperial capital and watched the three people who disappeared among the sea of flames like burning moths. Before she was even aggrieved by such a matter, the blaze shone upon her also, and she disappeared from this world without feeling any pain.
All the people in the imperial palace covered their eyes with their hands and lay on the ground to try to stay there. When the blaze reached them, the imperial palace started swaying like a boat on the sea. This continued for more than a minute before the dazzling blaze started disappearing gradually.
The people in the imperial palace calmed down and looked around, and they were all stunned by what they saw. The 100-mile-radius around the imperial palace had turned into scorched earth, and there wasn’t anything left of the majestic imperial capital.
It was fortunate that the imperial capital’s citizens had reacted quickly and fled outside of the city before Jiang Chen’s arrival. If they hadn’t, there would have been many more grave casualties.
“It’s done for…” The Sacred Prince stood on the plaza which had existed since his childhood and observed the plain which stretched as far as the eye could see. He had never gotten to see such a sight before—it only happened because several mountains had been leveled completely.
“Sacred prince, let us flee and ask for help from the ancestors.” The bald man came over, bringing with him a group of imperial guards. He wanted to protect the sole surviving imperial descendant.
“The Blood Shadow Dynasty has really been destroyed…” The Sacred Prince muttered to himself while still looking at the scorched earth which stretched for 100 miles.
“Sacred Prince!” The bald man was obliged to drag on him, and it was then that the Sacred Prince sobered up. One couldn’t see any more arrogance on his face.
“Let’s leave, let’s leave.” The Sacred Prince still had a lingering fear, and he wanted to leave with them. However, the knees of the bald man and the imperial guards suddenly went soft, and they all fell to the ground.
The Sacred Prince detected this, and, following their gazes, he witnessed that the Devilish G.o.d-like Jiang Chen was standing near them, still holding the Ending Age Mace in his hands.
“Jiang Chen, please let me off, let me off. I didn’t do it on purpose, and it wasn’t me who harmed and killed your wife.”
The Sacred Prince knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, while kowtowing and begging forgiveness. The source of his pride was the Blood Shadow Dynasty, and now he was no better than a beggar.
What the sacred prince shouldn’t have done was mention Jiang Chen’s wife.
Jiang Chen looked at him with his blood-red eyes and raging flames surged in them, burning the bald man and the imperial guards. When it came to the Sacred Prince’s turn, his face became filled with tears, mucus, as well as resentment.
“Jiang Chen, I will be waiting for you in h.e.l.l!” The Sacred Prince shouted loudly.
He had already noticed that Jiang Chen’s appearance was changing. When he had just invaded the Blood Shadow Dynasty, he was youthful and vigorous and seemed a youth in his 20s. But now, the hair on his temples had already turned grey as if he was an old man over 50.
However, it was fortunate that Jiang Chen’s divine body was powerful, so his appearance didn’t experience distinct aging. However, all the experiences he had undergone still made him seem older than before.
The Sacred Prince’s true body quickly died among the sea of flames, and it would be impossible for him to come back to life once again.
After fifteen minutes had pa.s.sed, some people ran over here to watch such a bustling scene and broadcast it to all lands of the Spirit Zone. The battle had already come to an end, and nothing was left here.
“Is this the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s imperial capital?”
The imperial palace had turned into ruins, and the earth in a 100-mile-perimeter around it was scorched, and there weren’t any living beings present here. If they didn’t notice that the terrain far away still hadn’t changed, the crowd wouldn’t have believed that this was the imperial capital.
The Blood Shadow Dynasty was really destroyed!
Many Spirits were dumbstruck. They had all witnessed a matter that would give rise to a great commotion in the Three Middle Realms. The Blood Shadow Dynasty, which the Eight Great Spirit Clans respected and revered, had already disappeared, and its past glory had also disappeared along with it. Everything was due to a single person.
All Spirits who believed that power couldn’t affect the balance of the Spirit Clans were all convinced by such a sight, and they found themselves at a loss for words.
“Where did the devilish Jiang Chen go?”
After the imperial capital was destroyed, Jiang Chen’s whereabouts became unknown, and, after they took into consideration his current state, everyone in the Spirit Zone felt like they were surrounded by perils. No one wanted to provoke such a slaughter G.o.d, and everyone, who had spoken badly about Jiang Chen, would probably have nightmares for quite a few nights.
When the news spread from the Spirit Zone and reached the Nine Territories, the humans’ first response was the same as others.
“Ha, ha, ha, such a joke is really funny.” No one believed it at first like the Spirits. However, as more people discussed this matter, the will of the people, who believed firmly that it was fake, started wavering, and as they thought about such a possibility, many people s.h.i.+vered from excitement.
“It’s too bold and imposing!”
After they ascertained the truth of this news and learned that all the Spirits were restless, many people were delighted. Even the aloof Spirits would one day tremble in fear due to a human!
…..
On the second day, in the Fire Spirit Clan’s spiritual land, as the Fire Spirit Clan’s members were still discussing the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s affair, a person flew atop their heads.
“Who are you?”
When the Fire Spirits discovered him, they all ran over to him and obstructed them. But when they got a clear look of him, they were all scared witless and ran away. Jiang Chen had stepped on the Boundless Fire Domain while holding the Ending Age Mace.
“No one is allowed to obstruct him, and you should all run away with your whole might.” When the news reached the Fire Spirit King’s ears, he pa.s.sed down the wisest decision he had ever taken in his life.
By the time Jiang Chen reached the Fire G.o.d Palace, there were no more than ten people left there. They were all people who had partic.i.p.ated in the operation for killing Jiang Chen, and they had all caused Nangong Xue’s death.
“Jiang Chen, we will atone for our crimes with our death.” The Eleven Almighty Experts didn’t even fight and just burned themselves to ashes. Jiang Chen didn’t respond at all upon witnessing this, and he still destroyed the Fire G.o.d Palace and turned it into ruins. He had also taken away the Fire Spirit Clan’s supreme treasure, which they hadn’t been able to take with them.
When news about this matter spread, the Spirit Zone’s people almost went crazy, and when the news reached the Wind Spirit Clan, they all left their spiritual land and ran into the Nine Territories and took refuge there. What happened next demonstrated that they had made the right decision. Jiang Chen had entered the Wind Spirit Clan’s land and destroyed their spiritual land wholly, and the same fate had befallen the Earth Spirit Clan.
All those Spirit Clans’ members were among the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s 100,000-people army that had attacked Jiang Chen.
“It’s really fortunate that we don’t have any feud with Jiang Chen.”
It was only two clans among the Eight Great Spirit Clans who could rejoice. They turned out to be the greatest winners.
