Dragon-Marked War God

In the end, Jiang Chen still hadn’t fully mastered the No Beginning Formation. Many parts of this Cloud Mist Formation worked in a similar way to the No Beginning Formation. If he had fully mastered the No Beginning Formation, perhaps it wouldn’t have been so difficult. But his understanding of the Great Dao seemed to be in no way inferior to the No Beginning Formation, allowing Jiang Chen to analyze this seemingly hopeless Cloud Mist Formation in a very short time.

The Cloud Mist Formation was clearly a great formation of confusion. After pushing aside the clouds and mist, Jiang Chen’s understanding of the Cloud Mist Formation rose to a new level. Although his strength was constantly being weakened, breaking the Cloud Mist Formation had already become as easy as picking something up off the ground. Jiang Chen kept arranging his moves, taking complete control of the entire Cloud Mist Formation and the entire Immortal Island of Penglai. Gradually, there was no longer the slightest trace of Kouxiang Daqu’s aura in the Cloud Mist Formation. That meant Kouxiang Daqu was as dead as he could be. He had essentially sacrificed himself to drive the Cloud Mist Formation. If it hadn’t been for Jiang Chen’s Dead Spirit Kill Soul, he might still have had a slim chance of survival. But after Jiang Chen’s blow, he had no life left in him at all.

“Finally, the clouds have parted and the moon shines through. Heaven and earth share the same lifespan, and all things share the same Dao. Truly, different roads lead to the same destination. It seems that in the future, my understanding of the Great Dao can be completely integrated into formations. The Great Dao is supremely simple, and its lingering essence is long-lasting. True Dao Essence comes from blending countless Daos together, and only then can they converge into the Great Dao. I never expected that the Great Dao of heaven and earth could not only lead to the throne of a Great Emperor, but also be of such great use.”

Jiang Chen murmured. Only when he used the power of the Great Dao to analyze the Cloud Mist Formation did he realize how simple it really was. In other words, in front of a true Great Emperor Realm expert, this Cloud Mist Formation wasn’t worth mentioning. Unfortunately, Jiang Chen was still far from reaching that realm.

“The Great Dao is supremely simple, and all roads lead to the same destination. The power of the Great Dao dissolves all illusions. Break!”

Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and dissolved the Cloud Mist Formation with the power of the Great Dao. That day, the sky cleared, the clouds and mist retreated, and the sunlight shone down in dazzling colors. The withered land seemed to burst with a different kind of vitality at this moment. The earth stretched out, the sky roared, all things revived, and the entire Immortal Island of Penglai took on a completely new look.

A gentle breeze blew, the water was calm, everything opened up, the decay was gone, and the sun and moon brought a new sky.

The clouds and mist retreated, and the formation dissolved by itself. Heaven and earth were vast once again. The thousands of people who had survived the Cloud Mist Formation by luck all gave thanks to heaven and earth and bowed to Jiang Chen in gratitude.

“Thank you, benefactor, for saving our lives. From now on, our Immortal Island of Penglai will follow your lead.”

“The grace of saving a life is greater than heaven. Benefactor, please accept our bow.”

“Kouxiang Gangmen was useless and Kouxiang Daqu was tyrannical. Only you, benefactor, have pushed aside the clouds and mist to reveal the blue sky. Thank you, benefactor.”

Thousands of Divine King Realm and Heavenly God Realm experts all knelt on the ground. They had cultivated for millions of years, and some of them were even in tears. They had thought it was a hopeless situation, but they never expected Jiang Chen to pull them back from the gates of hell. This was the grace of saving their lives, and even more, he had extended a warm hand to them in a desperate situation of death. Otherwise, they would have perished in silence like those of low strength. No matter how loudly they had shouted, it would have been no use. In the end, they would only have turned into stone and been buried deep in the earth.

Everyone was as relieved as if they had survived a catastrophe. Even those powerful experts couldn’t help being in tears. To be given a helping hand when filled with despair was what truly shook the soul. The Lord of Penglai Boundary had been absurd and tyrannical. He had thrown away their lives, turning hundreds of thousands, even a million people into stone. It was no different from a massacre. Fortunately, Kouxiang Daqu didn’t have the ability to change the entire Penglai Boundary. Otherwise, the countless hundreds of millions of people of Penglai Boundary might all have become dead souls beneath his feet.

The blue sky had opened, and Jiang Chen was their blue sky. In their eyes, Jiang Chen was a Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering, a savior who rescued all living beings.

Kouxiang Gangmen was dead, and so was Kouxiang Daqu. The whole of Penglai Boundary was now a flock of dragons without a leader. The Immortal Island of Penglai, the center of Penglai Boundary, had also become lifeless. Even though the blue sky had returned, who knew how many years it would take to rebuild it.

“Finally, it’s all right. I told you Little Chen would definitely save us.”

Yan Qingcheng said, but the two women were still hugging each other tightly. There were tears at the corners of their eyes, tears of hope and pride for Jiang Chen. He had done it. He had done what others couldn’t do. He was the one who had brought back the blue sky. Their man would always be the best.

“How absurd and tyrannical.”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help lamenting inwardly. Hundreds of thousands of people, and millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of demonic beasts and living creatures had been burned up and turned to dust. All of this was Kouxiang Daqu’s doing. He didn’t care at all about the Heavenly Dao or about any line that shouldn’t be crossed. In his eyes, the lives of everyone else weren’t worth as much as his son’s alone. How could such a person become the lord of a boundary? It was a tragedy for everyone.

In the hundred-thousand-mile great forest, thousands of demonic beasts also showed their gratitude toward Jiang Chen. Birds and beasts beat their wings, and demon spirits roared. Without intending to, Jiang Chen had saved these people and demonic beasts who never should have paid with their lives for this great battle, filling them with awe and gratitude toward him.

“This started because of me. Countless living beings have suffered, and I can’t escape the blame either.”

Jiang Chen thought to himself. It wasn’t sorrow exactly, he just felt somewhat uncomfortable. Everyone had their own thoughts. Jiang Chen had killed hundreds and thousands in his anger; he wasn’t exactly a kind person. But all those innocent people and demonic beasts had lost their lives in this. Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions…

Who could remain unmoved? At least Jiang Chen couldn’t.

“All I wanted was the Jade Marrow Soul Seed.”

Jiang Chen looked at Kouxiang Daqu’s corpse and reached out to grab it. The corpse shattered completely, leaving only a spatial ring. Jiang Chen crushed the spatial ring, and sure enough, he felt an extremely strong soul force spreading out. The feeling of his soul being changed at the slightest touch made Jiang Chen’s heart tremble.

Something dark green that looked like a gemstone appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.

“Is this the Jade Marrow Soul Seed?”

Jiang Chen played with the dark green gemstone in his hand. There was an extremely strong soul force within it, and it was endless and self-renewing. The Jade Marrow Soul Seed really was extraordinarily miraculous, which surprised even Jiang Chen. Even his Emperor Realm soul couldn’t see clearly what the Jade Marrow Soul Seed had evolved from. It was very miraculous and very precious.

The Jade Marrow Soul Seed gave Jiang Chen an indescribable feeling. He felt that this thing had an extraordinary origin, yet it was filled with a strange light. Its endless, self-renewing soul force was the most important thing, because that was exactly what Wu Ningzhu needed. Only with this endless soul force could the withering of her soul be stopped and could she be given a new life.

“With these, it should be enough.”

The Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass, the Soul-Rising Spirit-Gathering Pill, plus this Jade Marrow Soul Seed should be enough to help Wu Ningzhu temporarily suppress the withering of her soul.

Just then, as the sun rose in the east, from a plain little hill seven hundred thousand miles away from Penglai Boundary, a rainbow light shot up into the sky, accompanied by a heart-rending scream.

“Give me back my son, give me back my son…”
