Volume 1 Chapter 116: A Man Who Stands Tall and Firm

Brother Zhaochuan, you clearly never intended to consult with me on this from the start. It was all agreed upon at the outset.

She blinked. “This is called striking first and asking questions later!”

Both of them were well-read scholars, so their words carried a faint literary elegance.

“Whatever profits are made will be yours, and all losses will be mine.”

Fourth Master Hua crouched behind the haystack, his rear exposed. The evil spirit spotted him, seized Hua Siye’s backside, and hoisted him high into the air.

By contrast, the white-ghosted Gaoshan felt an overwhelming surge of hostility in his very bones. He slaughtered every hostile creature that drew within ten meters of him.

“These purple thunder divine bamboos are no mere plants—they are thunder itself. No, this is precisely like me: grown from the very sea of lightning.” Jiang Dong moved through the bamboo grove crackling with violet lightning, drifting ever deeper.

He double-checked the base’s internal magical seals. Aside from the sealed barrier zones, every other ward remained flawless. Whatever chaos unfolded inside, no monster had yet escaped; they were trapped like fish in a barrel.

Once the altar guardian fell, a vast magic circle bloomed beneath its corpse. The altar itself began to crumble and collapse, birthing a yawning chasm that swallowed the ground.

Especially Fu Yi, whose eyes widened with envy as he watched the Liuying sword carve through thick vines in flawless, unhesitating strokes. The thought of his own flying sword—capable of only fleeting flight before needing recharge—left him green with longing.

At that moment Gaoshan’s magical communicator chimed. It was a call from the New Technology Department: the specially ordered box he had requested was finally complete.

Upon the jade tablet, beside the slumbering forms of Emperor Ku and the child, a new silhouette materialized.

For an instant the entire sunken relic fell utterly still. They waited in silence for Gaoshan to declare the game begun.

Wadington had withheld this information from Yak deliberately, hoping to harness his full potential. Now it seemed the young man had pushed his powers beyond their limit, triggering self-destruction.

The old and ruthless Jia Xu had reached this verdict after decades of observing such aberrant humans. That was why he declared Bu Liangshi’s occupation of the harem free of hidden peril.

“Boss, how shall we coordinate? Speak your orders. We will not fail you.” Sun Jie addressed Zhang Tianhao with solemn sincerity.

“Fear not. I am merely curious about that location. After all, the site of the teleportation array once inflicted catastrophic damage upon Yun Gu Star. We must remain vigilant.” Following the old man’s brief explanation, Yunxiao’s lingering caution in his heart eased considerably.

Yet precisely such a development occurred: Dongying had once again fallen under Zhuyou Ningning’s sway, Lu Yao’s lingering presence unmistakable.

“Brother, really, we should choose a more domineering name.” Dou Bi spoke with obsequious flattery to Zhang Tianhao.

Chen Bu Jian gathered their spiritual essences into the dream game, bestowed upon them the mantle of reincarnators, and bestowed the Dream Lord System as their personal companion—a gesture of utmost care.

Yet before departure, Zhang Tianhao resolved to accomplish one final task. He severed the Tiansha Great Array and stepped forth to stand before the Demon Clan warriors.

Description: It could instantly absorb the wandering souls of all beings within a thousand li as the array’s lethal core. Warriors who entered the formation would be devoured by fierce ghosts in the briefest instant.

It was a pain that sank into bone and marrow. Every time he tried to recall anything, his heart would be stabbed so fiercely that even his soul felt ripped asunder.

Knowing he could not seize Lu Qingchen in the short term, the recent explosion had alarmed the Poison Word Gate. She withdrew at once.

Thus the place Xiao Dong had painted exists nowhere on any map, yet Mo Chen was determined to locate it.

“Tomorrow’s mission—what exactly is it? Any precautions? If so, I’ll study them back at the base. If not, I’ll head straight to the training ground.” She spoke with impatient weariness.
