Chapter 1774 Changing Faces Like Turning the Page
Apart from the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun, no one else knew the true extent of Chen Wanli's "Time Slash".
However, as they watched the sword being swung, it was as if the river of time was carrying their souls on a journey through a hundred years.
Seeing the young hero displaying his heroic spirit, and then looking up to see an old man with white hair, I was filled with sorrow. My heart was filled with a hundred emotions, all contained in that one stroke of the sword.
Women like Xiang Qing and Xiang Jing, with their tender hearts, were moved by their thoughts and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Even the elders, who had lived long enough and had seen much of the world, were deeply moved and sighed.
However, this strike did not seem to trigger any spiritual energy.
This is not magic.
It’s a supernatural power!
"This blade cuts through lifespan!"
Fang Fengting, who had been thrown out of the formation by Chen Wanli, looked on with awe and muttered to himself.
No magic can traverse the river of time or reverse spacetime.
Even among the gods who have been around for thousands of years, he had never heard of any clan possessing such domineering supernatural powers.
The passage of time, the alternation of the sun and moon, and the rotation of heaven and earth, are among the most mysterious laws in this world.
Upon hearing the words "sever lifespan," everyone present was utterly astonished.
"Lifespan is time itself. To sever a hundred years of time with a single strike? Is this altering the very laws of nature?"
Xiang Dehong exclaimed in surprise.
Fang Fengting nodded numbly.
We were wrong, we were really wrong this time!
Originally, it was thought that Chen Wanli would surely be defeated by the Dragon King, so when he was presiding over the grand formation, he showed the Dragon King some leniency, which also made him completely resentful of Chen Wanli.
If he had known beforehand that Chen Wanli, with his Nascent Soul stage, could manipulate the power of the rules, he would never have acted on his own initiative.
The reactions of the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun at this moment are enough to prove just how astonishing Chen Wanli's move was.
Long Jihai was now frozen in place.
It had never seen its father like this before!
Although the Dragon King's personality has a somewhat cynical and irreverent side.
But the dragon race has an inherent arrogance.
The Dragon King's majesty has never been challenged by any living person.
Anyone who dares to offend them will surely die a horrible death.
At this moment, the Dragon King not only disregarded Chen Wanli's various acts of disrespect, but also lowered his stance.
“Not to the extent that…”
Despite Ye Zhenjun's shout, the blade still fell.
"Kacha!"
A crack appeared visibly on Ho-Oh's original flame, and the tiny flame seemed about to go out at any moment.
"Chen Wanli, I hereby formally acknowledge you as a friend of the Dragon Palace. You may request any condition as long as you are willing to spare Feng Jiu's life!"
The Dragon King spoke quickly, his eyes now filled with no resentment or displeasure, only his respect for Chen Wanli and his fear of the strike.
"This strike has severed Feng Jiu's life force. Even if she survives a near-death experience and successfully undergoes a nirvana rebirth, she will never be able to cultivate to the level of a deity again..."
If you're still angry, let me tell you, the Phoenix Clan possesses a priceless treasure: the original flame of the previous Phoenix King! It's been preserved remarkably well…”
Ye Zhenjun's mouth was like a machine gun, rattling off a whole bunch of things.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King gave Ye Zhenjun a deep look, but did not deny it. Instead, he said:
"Chen Wanli, if you are willing to spare Feng Jiu, I, the King, will grant you the right to take whatever you want from the Phoenix Clan's treasure trove. As for my Dragon King's treasure trove, you may choose any three items!"
Chen Wanli stood suspended in the air, his hair as white as snow.
Unlike when he was in the Nascent Soul stage, when he used the Time Slash, he only simulated a trace of the laws of time.
Today, however, he truly activated a trace of the power of the laws.
Compared to his current level of strength, he is not yet able to control such power.
Therefore, this strike severed the Phoenix King's life force and took away his lifespan of a hundred years.
The feeling of having one's lifespan taken away is strange; it is neither painful nor itchy, and even the spiritual energy within the body does not change at all.
But Chen Wanli could still sense a vague change, as if the vitality in every cell was being invisibly drained away.
What were the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun saying? He didn't hear them, he only saw their anxious expressions and their mouths opening and closing constantly.
Human nature is ridiculous, and animals, monsters, and gods alike are all ultimately unable to escape this absurdity.
At this moment, everything seemed to be delayed by a few seconds before the voices of the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun reached Chen Wanli's ears one after the other.
"Chen Wanli, the Nameless Flame of the Phoenix Clan, is quite useful for entering the Moon Extreme Divine Platform. Killing him will only create enemies and serve no other purpose. It's better to obtain something of real benefit..."
This time, Ye Zhenjun transmitted his voice to Chen Wanli.
With a face full of "sincerity," he spoke and, without waiting for Chen Wanli's objection, stepped forward and approached.
The next second, he grabbed Chen Wanli's arm and pulled the hand that was raised as if to draw a sword back.
Chen Wanli slightly raised his eyelids.
What an amazing demigod!
Although he is not as strong as he was at his peak, he is still in a sharp fighting state.
Ye Zhenjun was able to walk up to him so casually and take his arm.
This is not something that ordinary strength can achieve!
Although Ye Zhenjun held a gourd-shaped magic weapon in his hand, his whole body was enveloped in a soft light.
However, Chen Wanli could clearly sense that Ye Zhenjun's ability to approach him silently was definitely not due to the power of a magical artifact.
He mentioned the Lunar Altar again!
Chen Wanli took a deep look at Ye Zhenjun.
"With Lu Su dead, the primordial demonic energy has returned, and the awakening of the Heavenly Demon King will be faster than expected..."
Ye Zhenjun continued to patiently persuade him.
The Dragon King's expression shifted between light and dark. After so many years of dominating the Demon Cave, this was the first time he had suffered such a setback.
His good brother Feng Jiu is on the verge of death, leaving him in a dilemma.
And all of this was thanks to this human child in front of us.
Fortunately, Chen Wanli finally softened his stance and stopped swinging his knife.
"If we had just spoken so sincerely earlier, wouldn't everything have been fine?" Chen Wanli said, pursing his lips.
He then waved his hand, and the great formation on Wangmang City dissipated.
The Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.
Chen Wanli slowly landed back on the city wall, reached out to wipe away the tear stains at the corner of Xiang Qing's eyes, and smiled slightly:
"This is a wedding ceremony, and all guests are welcome, please!"
"???" Xiang Dehong glanced at this "son-in-law" and found that his face was calm. If it weren't for the wounds on his body, he would really look like a groom who came out to greet guests.
That mentality, that shamelessness, it's absolutely incredible!
What does it mean to change one's expression as easily as turning the pages of a book?
This is ready-made.
"By the way, Ancestor Lei Ze and Brother Chong, don't forget to accept the congratulatory gifts! The Dragon King just said that you can take whatever you want from the Phoenix Clan's treasure vault, and choose three items from the Dragon Clan's treasure vault."
"Make the arrangements, and we'll bring people to collect it!"
Chen Wanli made the arrangements with a smile, standing in place waiting for the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun, looking very welcoming.
The Dragon King then took the opportunity to collect Feng Jiu's original flame from the void into his bosom before entering the city with Ye Zhenjun.
As for Chen Wanli's true colors, they simply pretended not to see them.
"Ahem, this is a treasure I obtained at the Moon Extreme Divine Platform, a top-grade spiritual root. Consider it a congratulatory gift!"
Ye Zhenjun took out a dark, luminous stone.
Chen Wanli glanced at it and his expression changed slightly.
Most spiritual roots are of the five elements, but this one is pure divine soul power.
He achieved physical sainthood, but his soul failed to become a god. He still fought to the death with his golden body at the Moon God Platform.
This spiritual root is undoubtedly the most precious treasure I need right now, without exception.
Its rarity surpassed the total amount he had obtained in the Demon Cave.
What a grand gesture!
Is this the kind of treasure a half-saint can possess?
The Dragon King glanced at them and said sarcastically, "Oh, they've really gone all out!"
Chen Wanli once again raised the level of danger posed by Ye Zhenjun in his mind!
In fact, at that moment, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Compared to his own strength, the turmoil in his heart when fighting the Dragon and Phoenix Kings was even greater.
"It seems we should have an open and honest talk!"
Chen Wanli squinted, his gaze sweeping over the Dragon King before finally settling on Ye Zhenjun.
"I couldn't ask for more!" Ye Zhenjun said with a smile.
The Dragon King did not object.
