Chapter 296: Rebirth: I'm an Old Man (Part 20)

Dongfang Yunxing awoke.
It was as if he'd been dreaming.
In his dream, he was a ruthless warrior, personally annihilating the Haori Holy Land.
He seemed to have fought an incredibly terrifying being, shattering the starry sky, defying taboos, and experiencing a terrifying battle.
In the end, he won, shattering that terrifying weapon, devouring the deity within alive, its pitiful cries resonating with him.
And the man in animal hide was forcibly molded into a pill.
This dream was too unreal.
“Silly boy, you’re finally awake.”
A familiar voice interrupted Dongfang Yunxing’s reverie.
“Master!?”
Looking at the familiar white-haired middle-aged man, Dongfang Yunxing was overjoyed.
He was alive.
Master was alive.
Beside him, a familiar figure lay unconscious.
Lu Xuewei was also alive.
"Master, we've successfully broken out of the Haori Holy Land!?"
Su Chen rolled his eyes.
What did he mean by breaking out of the Haori Holy Land?
Su Chen said calmly, "You're safe now. When leaving the Haori Holy Land's territory, I encountered a small accident and could only take you away from the Vast Continent. I don't know your exact location now."
"I've used up too much energy and need to sleep for a long time before I awaken. During this time, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Only then did Dongfang Yunxing realize that Su Chen's figure was faint, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.
"Master, I will definitely work hard to accumulate the energy of the Heavenly Fate Pearl so that you can reappear as soon as possible,"
Dongfang Yunxing vowed.
Su Chen smiled.
His body gradually disappeared,
leaving behind a final sentence in Dongfang Yunxing's mind:
"On your body lie the cultivation resources of the Haori Holy Land, collected by your master over hundreds of thousands of years, as well as the entire fortune of a Quasi-Emperor. During your absence, you must be careful and discreet, and never let anyone know that you possess such a treasure."
"Also, I have left you a pill. Once your cultivation breaks through to Sainthood, you can take it to complete your seventh Nirvana."
"I hope...we, master and disciple, will meet again..."
Su Chen's voice faded away.
He not only destroyed the Haori Holy Land but also fought a peak Quasi-Emperor wielding an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, expending far too much energy, returning him to square one.
This was only because Dongfang Yunxing had used a wave of Heavenly Fate energy from killing Yang Shentian to replenish his Heavenly Fate Pearl.
Su Chen fell into a deep sleep.
Dongfang Yunxing gripped the Heavenly Fate Pearl tightly, secretly vowing to find another person with great fortune as soon as possible, to restore his master's energy, and for the two to reunite soon.
After all... it was all because of him that his master had exhausted his energy.
Dongfang Yunxing found the resources Su Chen had mentioned.
His eyes suddenly widened.
His mouth remained agape for a long time.
In the space Su Chen had left behind, countless treasures lay scattered in every corner. Those precious medicines he had once longed for were now treated like trash, and several indescribably terrifying auras emanated from them.
Those were sacred medicines!
Besides these, there were countless other treasures that Dongfang Yunxing couldn't name, yet sensed were incredibly precious.
Dongfang Yunxing also presented a pill, brimming with ancient aura and overflowing with overwhelming blood energy. Just one glance at it caused Dongfang Yunxing to cough up blood, unable to bear looking at it any longer.
Dongfang Yunxing suddenly remembered.
His strange dream.
"Could it be...that dream was real?"
Dongfang Yunxing remained silent for a long time.
"Just what kind of being is my master?"
Dongfang Yunxing also discovered.
His current physical aptitude was a hundred times more terrifying than before.
He had undergone his sixth Nirvana at some unknown time.
.......
The Vast Continent
The Hao Ri Holy Land, the most powerful force in the Southern Region, was destroyed.
No one knew why the Hao Ri Holy Land was destroyed.
Over time, only the Hao Ri Holy Land's coveting of the forbidden realm angered the heavens, leading to its annihilation.
Shortly after the destruction of the Haori Holy Land, news shocked the entire Cangmang Continent.
The Barbarian God of the Barbarian Bone Cult was dead, and even the cult's imperial weapon had been shattered.
The Barbarian God of the Barbarian Bone Cult was a peak Quasi-Emperor, wielding a fully revived Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon; even Supreme Beings wouldn't choose to fight him head-on.
Now, this terrifying being had fallen silently.
Some speculated that the one who killed the Barbarian God of the Barbarian Bone Cult was the same person who destroyed the Haori Holy Land.
However, a thousand years have passed, and no one knows for sure if it's the same person.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, an unknown amount of time has passed.
On the Cangmang Continent,
Chen Xuan looked at this familiar world, yet it felt so foreign.
At this moment, he only wanted to destroy this world.
This was his purpose in returning.
"Thousands of years... the survivors of the Dongfang family, and Lu Xuewei... are you still alive?"
"If you are still alive..."
Chen Xuan continued in a low voice, the killing intent in his tone freezing the heavens and earth.
"I, Chen Xuan, will make you experience the eternal tortures of the Ghost Clan!"
Since the last time in the Ghost Clan's secret realm, Chen Xuan was severely injured and nearly died.
But he, Chen Xuan, was a chosen one; he did not die.
He was rescued by the Ghost Clan girl, also the daughter of the Ghost Emperor, Gui Youyou, and brought back to the Ghost Realm.
Chen Xuan was very grateful to Gui Youyou for saving his life.
He married Gui Youyou, becoming the prince consort of the Ghost Clan's imperial court, and made great contributions to the Ghost Clan's imperial court.
Over these thousands of years, with the help of the system and his own efforts, he even broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm.
What Chen Xuan regretted was that if Gui Youyou hadn't been so powerful, he might have already reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.
But there was no rush now.
As long as he kills Dongfang Yunxing and completes the system's mission, he too can break through to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, gaining the qualification to contend for the Emperor's Mandate.
His Emperor's Mandate resides in this world!
Therefore, Chen Xuan has returned.
Chen Xuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
This time, besides seeking revenge on Dongfang Yunxing and completing the system mission, he also had a mission from the Ghost Clan Imperial Court.
The Ghost Clan Imperial Court intends to attack this universe.
He needs to release the suppressed Ghost Clan powerhouses in this realm.
The beings of the Ghost Clan are unique, especially the powerful Quasi-Emperors, whose lifespans far exceed those of this universe. Chen Xuan doesn't know why; perhaps it's because they are not the same kind of being.
On the vast continent, powerful Ghost Clan members were soon unsealed.
Chaos ensued!
