Chapter 1042: 756 leave

"Fellow Daoist, please be at ease," I assure you, I wouldn’t have spoken if I weren’t completely confident that I can solve your problem."

Knowing what Wu Zhiqi was worried about, Jiang Chen comforted him.

In the Prehistoric World, the most effective items to counteract the remnants of Chaos Demigods are those related to Pangu Great God. Coincidentally, Jiang Chen happened to possess such an item, which is why he was confident in dealing with Chaos Demigod remnants within Wu Zhiqi’s body.

As he spoke, Jiang Chen produced a piece of purple stone.

"Mount Buzhou Fragment?"

Seeing the purple stone in Jiang Chen’s hand, Wu Zhiqi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

The undying breath and supreme power from the stone resonated vaguely with Mount Buzhou in his Sea of Consciousness. What else could it be, if not a fragment of Mount Buzhou?

This was one of Mount Buzhou’s fragments that Jiang Chen had obtained from the Ruined Land. Having found no use for it yet, he had been carrying it with him all along. He had not expected, though, that it would come in handy today.

Mount Buzhou, the transformed spine of Pangu Great God, was the perfect artifact to counteract Demon God remnants. The Chaos Demigod, when alive, was not even a match for Pangu Great God, let alone now that it had fallen.

"Yes, it is indeed a Mount Buzhou fragment," Jiang Chen confirmed.

"Considering that the Demon God remnants are currently linked to your life, they cannot be refined in a short period. Therefore, I plan to seal this Mount Buzhou fragment into your Sea of Consciousness to suppress the Demon God remnants. Afterward, we can slowly resolve your issue."

Jiang Chen explained to Wu Zhiqi.

Now that the Demon God remnants were interconnected with his life, attempting to refine it rashly could lead to both perishing together. Hence, the best course was to suppress the remnants for the time being and consider the long-term solution later.

"Human King, rest assured, I understand the gravity of the situation," Wu Zhiqi responded, well aware of his own predicament. If the remnants of the Demon God were so easily refined, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.

"Refine!"

With a thought, Jiang Chen invoked the power of Pangu Great God to start refining the Mount Buzhou fragment in his hand. Gradually, the fragment took on the shape of the Open Sky Divine Axe.

Using the fragment of Mount Buzhou to create the Open Sky Divine Axe, combining the strengths of both, would certainly seal the Demon God remnants within Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness, preventing any further turmoil.

"Please do not resist, fellow Daoist, I am about to begin," Jiang Chen said, standing before Wu Zhiqi, holding the Open Sky Divine Axe forged from the Mount Buzhou fragment.

Wu Zhiqi did not reply, but the release of his Divine Thought made his position clear, indicating Jiang Chen should have no reservations and proceed.

Humming sounds vibrated through the air as the Open Sky Divine Axe in Jiang Chen’s hands trembled, radiating countless beams of light that transformed into a streak of divine light, and plunged directly into Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness.

Boom!

As the Open Sky Divine Axe entered, Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness shook as if it were going to shatter.

The permeating Chaos Sha Qi, as if being drawn by an invisible force, converged towards the Open Sky Divine Axe, being devoured by it.

In an instant, Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness, once corroded by the Chaos Sha Qi, returned to normal. Countless grey mists emerged, replacing the original Chaos Sha Qi.

Swoosh!

The Open Sky Divine Axe glowed as it slowly fused with the Mount Buzhou within Wu Zhiqi’s Sea of Consciousness. Suddenly, a power capable of suppressing all things in Heaven and Earth materialized, completely subduing all the remnants of the Chaos Demigod.

Time, life, thoughts, consciousness... everything was suppressed.

It was at this moment that Wu Zhiqi suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a heavy boulder pressing on him had suddenly disappeared, eliciting a comfortable groan.

"Many thanks, Human King!" After some time, Wu Zhiqi regained his senses and thanked Jiang Chen.

"There’s no need for such formality, fellow Daoist. Your trouble has not yet been resolved; I’m afraid you will have to endure being sealed here for a while longer," Jiang Chen said, gesturing for him not to apologize too soon. Wu Zhiqi’s issue had indeed not been resolved, as the remnants of the Demon God had only been sealed, not destroyed.

To solve Wu Zhiqi’s problem, it was necessary to completely eradicate the Demon God remnants within him, and this was something Jiang Chen could not accomplish at the moment.

Aside from the difficulty of extinguishing the Demon God remnants, they were entwined with Wu Zhiqi’s life. Without careful planning, the moment the remnants were eradicated would be the moment Wu Zhiqi perished.

Therefore, sealing the Demon God remnants was merely a temporary solution and did not address the root of Wu Zhiqi’s problem.

"What the Human King has said is too modest. Just being able to seal those Demon God remnants has already filled me with immense gratitude. Had it not been for this, I would have continued struggling with the remnants, unsure of how much longer I could last."

Wu Zhiqi’s expectations were not high; simply getting a temporary respite was enough to satisfy him. Contending with the Demon God remnants had left him hovering on the brink of life and death, with the slightest oversight risking neverending calamity. Such ease as he felt today was something he had not experienced for a long time. His gratitude towards Jiang Chen came from the bottom of his heart.

But Jiang Chen didn’t share this sentiment; he was determined to eliminate the hidden danger within Wu Zhiqi. His strong resolve wasn’t so much because he had a great relationship with Wu Zhiqi that he felt compelled to help, but rather because the Human Race needed a late-stage Quasi-Saint expert.

As for how to address the peril within Wu Zhiqi, Jiang Chen already had a plan in mind, and he spoke:

"Fellow Daoist, I will impart a Divine Ability named Mount Buzhou Tao Seal to you. Rest here and cultivate with peace of mind, to strengthen Mount Buzhou within your Sea of Consciousness, preventing the Demon God remnants from breaking the seal and wreaking havoc once more."
