Wang Chong’s bone-chilling voice came out of the void, its position constantly shifting. A moment later, a faint streak of light moved through the air. With his movement technique, Wang Chong instantly appeared behind An Yaluoshan and thrust the Origin Immortal Sword at An Yaluoshan’s back.
Kacrack!
Above them, a shining silver snake cleaved apart the heavens, fusing with countless other lightning bolts into a giant snake of lightning that descended from the sky with astonishing speed.
Wang Chong had struck quickly, but that mysterious lightning bolt imbued with the will of the world was even faster. Before his Sword Qi could even touch An Yaluoshan, the destructive power of the lightning bolt struck several feet in front of Wang Chong.
An Yaluoshan’s face shifted several times upon seeing this. The first reaction was panic and shock over how swiftly Wang Chong had struck, but the second reaction was one of ecstasy, for he had sensed a rare moment to counter Wang Chong. Without a second thought, he gathered all his Stellar Energy into his fist and punched.
“Divine Land Sundering!”
A roar resounded through the air as An Yaluoshan’s Stellar Energy took the form of a savage black dragon that charged at Wang Chong.
Space shifted under the black dragon’s claws, morphing into an image of the Central Plains being destroyed.
The black dragon was the symbol of An Yaluoshan’s destiny, and the Divine Land Sundering was the move that he had prepared to conquer the Central Plains.
An Yaluoshan had calculated that the moment after the lightning shattered Wang Chong’s attack was the perfect chance to heavily injure Wang Chong.
A tiger with no claw was at best a somewhat large pig.
But a moment later, An Yaluoshan was left stupefied.
Clang!
The moment the lightning descended, Wang Chong’s expression turned extremely cold and collected. He immediately raised his sword to draw the lightning toward it, and then he took control of the Origin Immortal Sword using his Stellar Energy and threw it toward the ground nearby.
A moment later, the lightning that had been aimed at Wang Chong was drawn over to the sword and sent into the ground.
The might of the world, far above the Subtle realm, had been conducted into the earth.
“H-how could this be!?”
An Yaluoshan paled at this sight.
He had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to use such a bizarre method to so easily resolve the destructive lightning unleashed by the Power of the World.
“Hmph!”
A cold snort came from next to An Yaluoshan’s ears, and An Yaluoshan immediately felt like he had been plunged into an ice house, his body shivering all over.
Within the void, Wang Chong stared at An Yaluoshan’s back with eyes of extreme cold and disdain.
Lightning rods!
In another world, this was a very basic concept. Electricity, no matter how violent or powerful, was easily drawn by protrusions of sharp metal. As long as it was appropriately conducted, destructive lightning energy could be neutralized by guiding it into the ground.
No matter how powerful the World Consciousness around An Yaluoshan was, as long as its method of disruption was lightning, Wang Chong could send this lightning into the earth.
“It’s your turn!”
As Wang Chong successfully drew away the lightning, the earth seemed to tremble in fury at Wang Chong’s actions.
But from start to finish, Wang Chong’s eyes were resolved and devoid of hesitation.
Swoosh!
Wang Chong blinked away, avoiding An Yaluoshan’s Divine Land Sundering and appearing like a ghost behind him. He seized An Yaluoshan’s arm and immediately began to use the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.
An Yaluoshan didn’t even have time to turn around before he was rendered motionless.
“Not good!”
At this moment, An Yaluoshan felt like his soul had left his body. He was far too familiar with Wang Chong’s method of fighting. It wasn’t too long ago, in the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, that Wang Chong had used this method to destroy two of his powerful rings.
“An Yaluoshan, now that we’re connected, let’s see how the Power of the World helps you!” Wang Chong coldly said.
Wang Chong and An Yaluoshan were right up in each other’s face, their Stellar Energies linked. No matter how the World Consciousness tried to interfere, attacking Wang Chong would mean attacking An Yaluoshan.
And Wang Chong’s tactics were bearing fruit. The vortex of clouds above continued to crackle with lightning, almost lighting up the entire capital as brightly as day. From the dense lightning, Wang Chong could sense the world’s anger.
An Yaluoshan had failed to notice any of this, as he had been thrown into a panic by Wang Chong’s words.
What he relied on the most was his status as the Child of the World. In his battle with Wang Chong, the entire world seemed to be helping him, but just as Wang Chong had said, with the two of them so close together, if lightning came down, he would be caught up in it with Wang Chong.
And Wang Chong’s Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art made him smell the thick stench of death.
“King of Foreign Lands, don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I’m just a lowly man! What need is there for us to quarrel!?”
An Yaluoshan had his back to Wang Chong, so he couldn’t see his face. All of his flesh was trembling while cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
“If you want something, I’ll give it to you! What I said before was all nonsense. Milord possesses such awesome strength! There is no need to lower yourself to my level!”
An Yaluoshan’s courage had failed him, and sweat was coming off his body so profusely that it seemed like it was raining. Fear had seized every cell of his body.
But Wang Chong seemed to not hear.
He had never before been so close to success.
No one could stop him from removing his Destined Foe!
Bang!
Wang Chong’s eyes flashed, his entire body exploding with Stellar Energy as he savagely punched into An Yaluoshan’s stomach.
As he punched, the images of a blazing golden sun and crimson full moon appeared above his left hand.
“Great Destruction Art!”
This attack did not have a heaven-sundering momentum or some grandiose manifestation, but it was one of the strongest techniques of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.
After reaching the Subtle realm, Wang Chong had obtained a masterful control over Stellar Energy, and he could condense the entirety of this powerful technique into his fist!
Even with just one hand, if Wang Chong was able to connect his Great Destruction Art with An Yaluoshan’s body, he could instantly destroy all his organs and kill him!
But just when Wang Chong’s determined strike hit An Yaluoshan’s stomach, a ring of black smoke swept out, absorbing the entirety of the attack.
A ritual tool!
Upon seeing the black smoke circling around An Yaluoshan’s body and the mysterious characters within it, Wang Chong narrowed his eyes, immediately understanding what was going on.
Wang Chong had already destroyed three of An Yaluoshan’s ritual tools at the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, but to his surprise, An Yaluoshan still had another!
On the other side, An Yaluoshan heard a massive boom, and his entire body broke out in a cold sweat. But when he realized that he was unharmed, he immediately understood what was happening.
It’s that metal sphere! A thought streaked through An Yaluoshan’s mind.
Before leaving, he had taken a secret journey to the mountain of the Turkic War God, Mount Yaluo, and had received a metal sphere there.
An Yaluoshan knew that it was a ritual tool, but he had never imagined it to be this powerful. It seemed even stronger than the three rings.
But just as delight was surfacing in An Yaluoshan’s eyes, he once more heard Wang Chong’s bone-chilling voice.
“Let’s see h
ow many ways you have to save your life! How long can your ritual tool protect you!?”
Clang!
Swords clanged as Wang Chong waved his hand, ripping the weapons from the hands of Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi. They trembled in the air and buzzed before shooting toward An Yaluoshan’s head from two different directions.
Bang!
At the same time, Wang Chong clenched harder with his left hand, activating the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art once more. An Yaluoshan’s Stellar Energy joined Wang Chong’s power, molded together by the Origin Immortal Art’s Trayastrimsa Heaven, and then slammed back into An Yaluoshan.
Rumble!
Wang Chong’s boundless Stellar Energy clashed with the power of An Yaluoshan’s ritual tool, colliding against each other in wave after wave.
The black energy roiled out as the metal sphere was activated once more, but Wang Chong’s assault rapidly drained it.
At the same time, Cui Qianyou’s long saber and Tian Chengsi’s heavy sword struck An Yaluoshan.
“Ah!”
With a terrible scream, there was a splash of blood. The heavy sword had sliced open An Yaluoshan’s Stellar Energy barrier and cut off his right ear.
Blood sprayed out as the right ear plopped to the ground.

Chapter 2019: Seize a Moment of Weakness to Take His Life!
Translated by: Hypersheep325

Wang Chong did not waste this chance, unleashing his supreme techniques in a veritable barrage on An Yaluoshan.
Seize his moment of weakness to take his life!
Now was the best moment to kill An Yaluoshan!
“Stop!”
A furious bellow resounded. A gale suddenly stirred up outside the northeastern walls of the capital, and amidst the storm, one could see shining stars. Out of the corner of his eyes, Wang Chong spotted a blurry figure streaking toward him like a bolt of lightning.
The Tianfu Divine Lord!
Upon sensing this familiar energy, Wang Chong paled, his eyes twitching.
“Damn it!”
Wang Chong had not expected that the Tianfu Divine Lord who had vanished during the Rebellion of the Three Princes would come out to save An Yaluoshan.
Countless thoughts passed through his mind, and in a flash, Wang Chong decided to endure the Tianfu Divine Lord’s attack and kill An Yaluoshan!
Boom!
With a massive boom, Wang Chong’s attack struck An Yaluoshan’s body. Crack! Something in An Yaluoshan’s body broke.
At the same time, the Tianfu Divine Lord’s attack struck Wang Chong, the impact sending him flying.
“My ear! My ear! This madman! Kill him! Kill him for me!”
In the distance, An Yaluoshan was not that badly injured. One hand covered where his right ear had been, blood trickling out from between his fingers. The other hand held the metal sphere that he had received at Mount Yaluo.
At this time, the metal sphere was covered in cracks and had significantly dimmed. It was clear that it had been heavily damaged by Wang Chong’s assault.
But at this time, An Yaluoshan was in no mood to worry about the metal sphere.
Pain, humiliation, anger…
An Yaluoshan glared at Wang Chong, wanting nothing more than to tear him to shreds!
This was the first time he had ever been so badly wounded!
Although Wang Chong had not killed him, the loss of his right ear had driven him to madness.
This was an unprecedented humiliation.
“An Yaluoshan, you can’t escape!”
A hundred-some feet away, Wang Chong wiped the blood from his lips and stood up from a broken tree.
His face was pale and his breathing hurried. Taking the Tianfu Divine Lord’s attack had clearly heavily damaged his internal organs, but Wang Chong had managed to use the Origin Immortal Art to partially neutralize the Tianfu Divine Lord’s attack and avoid a fatal blow.
“Bastard!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord was utterly enraged.
He had rushed over in a great panic and attacked Wang Chong with all his strength, but Wang Chong had chosen to ignore him, bearing the full force of the attack, in order to kill An Yaluoshan.
To the arrogant Tianfu Divine Lord, this was an immense humiliation. Not even Su Zhengchen during the Rebellion of the Three Princes had shown him such disrespect!
“Reckless thing! Even at this time, you still act so brazenly. You should first consider whether you can survive!” the Tianfu Divine Lord savagely said.
Thwishthwishthwish!
As he spoke, powerful figures began to manifest around the Tianfu Divine Lord, all of them wearing black robes, and they moved to surround Wang Chong.
They were all powerful, at least three of them just as strong as An Yaluoshan. Even when compared to the Tianfu Divine Lord, they were only a little bit lacking.
“Divine Lord!”
Anyone this strong could not be someone of ordinary background. In the organization of men in black, they would be at least at the Divine Lord level.
One Tianfu Divine Lord had already been enough to pose a serious threat to Wang Chong. Now that these people were surrounding him, joined with other black-clothed experts, Wang Chong was swiftly plunged into a grave situation.
“Child of Destruction! The target this time wasn’t you, but you since you dared to interfere, we might as well get rid of you!”
“Don’t think about running! No one in the capital can save you now!”
“Don’t waste time chattering with him! Kill him and search his body!”
The sharp eyes and powerful energies of the Divine Lord experts locked onto Wang Chong.
“Child of Destruction?”
An Yaluoshan was stunned by what the men in black were saying.
He had never heard such things from the men in black before, and had never known that Wang Chong had his own mysterious nickname.
But while he was the ‘Child of the World’, Wang Chong was the ‘Child of Destruction’!
An Yaluoshan quickly got ahold of himself.
“Regardless of what you’re thinking, kill him! No matter what, you have to kill him!” An Yaluoshan roared, his eyes bloodshot and his expression savage.
It no longer mattered who Wang Chong was. With so many people, he was confident that Wang Chong could be slain!
Wang Chong had to die at all costs!
“Hmph! An Yaluoshan, you think that you can deal with me after calling over all these people? Things aren’t over between us just yet!”
Wang Chong coldly laughed, looking past the men in black and jeering at An Yaluoshan.
Not even the World Consciousness could stop him. Did he really think that these people were capable of doing so?
“Still talking big with death imminent! I’d like to see how many lives you have! Strike!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s eyes chilled, infuriated by Wang Chong’s attitude.
“Southern Dipper Star Awl!
“Southern Dipper Undercurrent!
“Myriad Stars Holy Judgment!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord unleashed all his strongest techniques, deluging Wang Chong with attacks.
At the same time, the Tianfu Divine Lord waved his robe, instantly vanishing with the Starlight Step.
“Void Wave!”
“Dark Scorpion Star!”
“Myriad Stars Explosion!”
At the same time, the other men in black unleashed their own attacks, and the strongest of them, the Divine Lord experts, used the Starlight Step to disappear into the void.
The air was tense, the scent of death saturating the surroundings.
“Hmph!”
Although Wang Chong was wounded, he coldly sneered. If the Tianfu Divine Lord thought that only this many people could kill him, he was truly too naive.
A gentleman had to be looked at in a different light after a parting of three days, an
d he was no longer the fool of yesteryear!
Shadow Fiend Speed!
As those destructive attacks approached, to the shock of the Tianfu Divine Lord and the other men in black, Wang Chong’s figure began to rapidly fade until he completely disappeared.
Wang Chong’s aura had also completely vanished from their senses.
“How could this be?”
For the first time, the Tianfu Divine Lord was deeply stunned.
“It’s those forbidden arts! How does he know such things?!” another one of the Divine Lords said, his eyes widening in disbelief.
The Celestial God Organization had not always had complete control over the situation. Eventually, some powerful civilization would rise up that could threaten the Celestial God Organization.
These hidden dangers were often swiftly eliminated, and their forbidden arts were sealed.
The Celestial God Organization contained secret texts describing these forbidden arts.
The secret art Wang Chong had used was extremely similar to one described in the records, but before they could ponder this any longer, someone shrieked.
“Save me!” An Yaluoshan suddenly screamed, his face stricken with fear.
An Yaluoshan couldn’t see Wang Chong either, and he was far weaker than the Divine Lords, but as the Child of the World, he was extremely sensitive to danger, perhaps even more than the Divine Lords.
“Bastard!”
“Seeking death!”
All of the men in black were enraged.
No one had expected Wang Chong to still have the ‘leisure’ to pursue An Yaluoshan despite being surrounded.
An Yaluoshan had reacted very quickly, but he had deeply underestimated Wang Chong’s determination to kill him.
Rumble!
An explosion akin to the one that had heralded the beginning of the universe swept through the area as Wang Chong’s attack slammed into An Yaluoshan.
An Yaluoshan’s metal sphere finally exploded, and the man yelled as he was blasted into the distance.
In this entire process, several lightning bolts rained down from the sky, but none of them had been able to stop Wang Chong. He used swords and sabers as lightning rods to divert the lightning into the ground.
For a brief moment, spatial fissures appeared around An Yaluoshan, intending to divert Wang Chong’s attacks and devour Stellar Energy, but Wang Chong was able to perfectly avoid all of them!
