Chapter 1039: 754 Unlucky Wu Zhiqi_2

Clang~~~

As the bell sound echoed, a shadow of a heavenly domain unfolded above Wu Zhiqi’s head, surging mightily toward his Sea of Consciousness.

"This aura..."

"Is it the spirit of Pangu?"

"Pangu!!!"

Suddenly, an angry roar emanated from Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness, the voice so ancient, as if transcending Heaven and Earth, carrying the breath of eons. The language was so mystical, unlike any Jiang Chen had ever heard before.

But as it fell upon Jiang Chen’s ears, he clearly understood the meaning of these words.

Sacred Language of Chaos, the language inherited from the Great Dao, is also the most ancient language, the first sound after the birth of Chaos and a language unique to Chaos Demigods. No matter how strong outsiders are, unless they are transformed into Chaos Demigods, they cannot learn this language.

Jiang Chen’s Supreme Purity Zenith Bell was a Divine Ability that combined the way of innate pure Qi with the spirit of Pangu, thereby possessing the power to help comprehend the Dao.

Chaos Demigods are extremely sensitive to the aura of Pangu, and the moment the Supreme Purity Zenith Bell took shape, he sensed the Pangu aura it contained. Abruptly, memories of The War of The Beginning flooded back, and rage surged into his heart, prompting an angry roar.

"Sensitive to Pangu’s aura, huh?"

"Mount Buzhou, suppress!"

Jiang Chen wouldn’t indulge him; he particularly wanted to use what the other disliked.

With a subtle shift of his spirit, Jiang Chen immediately visualized Mount Buzhou in his mind, comprehending the eternal and supreme Dao Rhyme contained within it, and unleashed it as a Supreme Divine Power.

Mount Buzhou Seal!

A Divine Ability known by many races, reputed to have infinite potential, and if cultivated to perfection, capable of suppressing the past, present, and future. However, since the emergence of Mount Buzhou Seal, no one has managed to cultivate it to this legendary realm.

But Jiang Chen’s Mount Buzhou Seal already bore a semblance of top-tier grandeur.

This wasn’t because his talent was astonishing, even surpassing that of Saints. It was mainly because, in the Ruined Land, he had obtained the recognition of a Fragment of Mount Buzhou, and thereby a strand of Mount Buzhou’s true intent.

With the help of this strand of true intent, he had elevated the power of his Divine Ability to an extremely terrifying realm.

"Ah~~~"

"It’s Mount Buzhou!"

After sensing the aura of Mount Buzhou, the Chaos Demigod inside Wu Zhiqi became even more agitated, as if a vital point had been touched, unleashing torrents of Sha Qi that surged upwards.

Boom!

The majestic shadow of Mount Buzhou materialized in the void, slowly descending, its aura of suppressing the ages spreading mightily, seeking to suppress Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness.

On Wu Zhiqi’s body, the fearsome Chaos Sha Qi swirled, coalescing into a towering figure in mid-air, ape-like in form, with flaring nostrils, a high forehead, a green body, a white head, golden eyes and snowy teeth, identical to Wu Zhiqi.

The Chaos Netherworld Ape of the Chaos Demigods!

Contrary to Jiang Chen’s expectations, the strength of the Chaos Netherworld Ape had become so formidable that it could manifest using Wu Zhiqi’s body. In that case, it wouldn’t be long before it succeeded in possessing Wu Zhiqi completely.

Luckily, he had arrived just in time!

As Jiang Chen inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, the form of Wu Zhiqi that the Chaos Netherworld Ape had taken was already clashing with Mount Buzhou.

Alas, the momentum of the Chaos Netherworld Ape was indeed great, but what it faced was Mount Buzhou.

Upon initial contact, both arms of the Chaos Netherworld Ape were shattered by Mount Buzhou. At the same time, the powers of Immortal Dao, Buddhism Dao, and the Supreme Purity Zenith Bell, these three mighty forces, acted simultaneously upon him, immobilizing him on the spot, unable to move.

Boom!

Mount Buzhou pressed down, shattering the figure of the Chaos Netherworld Ape directly before entering Wu Zhiqi’s brow and disappearing from sight.

"Thank you, Human King, for your timely rescue!"

After a moment, the bloodiness in Wu Zhiqi’s eyes dispersed, and he regained his senses, expressing his immense gratitude to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s arrival was truly timely. If it weren’t for Jiang Chen’s assistance, Wu Zhiqi feared he might have really been in danger this time. Wu Zhiqi had been contending with the Chaos Demigod for some years, but he had never faced danger like he did today, with the Chaos Demigod nearly taking control of his body.

If things had progressed any further, Wu Zhiqi guessed there would no longer be a ’him’ in this world. Being resurrected through the body by the Chaos Demigod, how could there be any chance for life?

"In recent years, the origins of the Nine States have grown increasingly weak, especially after the rise of the First Emperor, with each day worse than the last, and each person less significant than before. I had thought that the decline of the Nine States was inevitable, but I hadn’t expected that, under such circumstances, the Human Race could still produce a Human King."

Having regained his senses, Wu Zhiqi couldn’t help but feel reflective. He had to lament because the strength of the Chaos Demigod today was closely linked to the weakening of the Nine States.

At the end of ancient times, when waters raged, Wu Zhiqi suddenly found signs of demonic possession within himself.

At that time, he didn’t realize that the Chaos Demigod was aiming to resurrect through his body; he merely thought that he might be assimilated by the Chaos Demigod’s original source, transforming into one of the initial Fierce Beasts.

To become one of the initial Fierce Beasts was simply courting death—Wu Zhiqi naturally was not willing. With no alternatives, he leveraged his connection with the Dragon Clan to ask for the Black Tortoise’s son to divine his fortune.

The divination showed great misfortune! Even the son of Black Tortoise could not see anything beyond that.

Filled with dread, Wu Zhiqi sought the guidance of the Black Tortoise itself. At the time, despite its powers as a Sacred Beast, it couldn’t see the plotting of the Chaos Demigod. However, the Sacred Beast was still a Sacred Beast, and even without seeing the cause of the events, it pointed out a path of survival to Wu Zhiqi.

That was to have himself sealed by King Yu, no longer to appear in the world, thus avoiding the great calamity.

Wu Zhiqi, of course, took the Sacred Beast’s words to heart. So, he approached King Yu, struck a deal with him, using himself to contribute to the fame of King Yu. In exchange, King Yu would use the power of the Nine States to seal him, to help him escape the calamity.

Such a fortunate offer—why would King Yu refuse? He agreed on the spot.

Afterward, the tale of Wu Zhiqi being sealed by King Yu came to be. That top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Awakening Bell, was not a treasure of King Yu, but a dowry given to Wu Zhiqi by the Dragon Clan.

Wu Zhiqi thought that when his demonic tribulation came, he could borrow the power of the Nine States to refine the Demon God’s original source within him, maintaining his mental clarity with the Awakening Bell. This way, as long as he survived the demonic tribulation, not only would he regain his freedom, but his cultivation could also soar to a new height.

However, Wu Zhiqi eventually discovered he was wrong, and terribly so. He wasn’t about to transform into an initial Fierce Beast; instead, he was targeted by the Chaos Demigod. The bloodline source of the Chaos Netherworld Ape sought to use his body for rebirth.

Thankfully, King Yu’s sealing was effective. Under the suppression of the Heaven and Earth of the Nine States, even the lingering obsessiveness of the Chaos Demigod, powerful as it was, had its force crushed by half and was certainly no match for Wu Zhiqi—thus there was no possibility of it seizing his body.

At first, this was indeed the case; in the struggle with the Chaos Demigod, Wu Zhiqi had always had the upper hand. However, this did not last. Just as Wu Zhiqi was about to completely suppress the obsessiveness of the Chaos Demigod—

The Prehistoric World shattered!

The Enshrinement Calamity erupted, and the Upper Qing Saints in their wrath destroyed Heaven and Earth, splitting the Prehistoric World into four. Since then, the Nine States were heavily damaged and began to decline, worsening each day.

This great damage to the Nine States profoundly affected Wu Zhiqi. With the loss of the suppression over the Chaos Demigod, a previously advantageous position instantly became evenly matched.

Later, the First Emperor rose and personally came to aid Wu Zhiqi, helping him to regain the upper hand once more.

Yet, as if toying with Wu Zhiqi, the First Emperor fell not long after his rise.

The fall of the First Emperor dealt a tremendous blow to the Nine States’ Heaven and Earth. Before, the weakening of the Nine States had been gradual. But after the First Emperor’s fall, it became a steep decline, with notable change within a year’s time.

Under this impact, Wu Zhiqi could no longer contend with the Chaos Demigod. Faced with its attacks, he could only defend passively. However, a protracted defense leads to defeat, and if not for Jiang Chen’s arrival today, the Chaos Demigod would have succeeded.

"Tsk tsk!"

"Fellow Daoist, your luck is truly unrivaled."

Having learned of his experience from Wu Zhiqi, Jiang Chen momentarily didn’t know how to respond.

ps: For me, who wakes up at 12 o’clock, this time is noon!
