Chapter 2509: Creating a World of Chaos

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The huge ax shadow that could split the heavens and earth faded before it touched the stone pavilion. It was as if its energy had been sucked away and dissipated into nothingness.

Fei Zhong had never seen such a strange thing. He was stricken with terror.

As for the seal that Blackwraith had struck out, for some unknown reason, turned into a speck of light and fell into Bai Qing’er’s hand.

A pure white and flawless flame appeared in her palm. In an instant, she refined the seal and suppressed the vessel spirit.

Fei Zhong and the Blackwraith were both influential figures. However, the combined attack of the two was quickly neutralized by Bai Qing’er. Both Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian standing outside the stone pavilion were shocked. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

Bai Qing’er looked at the seal in her hand and said, “It’s a pretty good divine relic ancient artifact, but it’s a pity that it hasn’t reached the level of a Supreme Artifact. Also, its previous owner wasn’t powerful enough as his power is limited.”

Fei Zhong and Blackwraith’s spiritual power had already been completely drained.

Without thinking, they immediately activated their secret arts and burst out with unprecedented speed, fleeing in two different directions.

Their speed was over 10,000 times the speed of sound.

Although the Blackwraith was not afraid of death, Bai Qing’er was too powerful. If they continued to attack, it would be useless, so they could only flee.

“You have discovered my secret and still wanted to escape?”

Bai Qing’er stood up and walked to the edge of the stone pavilion. Then she stared at the Blackwraith who had escaped tens of thousands of miles away and stretched out her snow-white hand.

Instantly, the shadow of a giant hand that was tens of thousands of miles long appeared in the space of the universe.

Five finger-like pillars of multicolored light imprisoned Blackwraith, who had transformed into the Black Dragon’s true form. The Black Dragon’s body burst out with earth-shattering divine force, stirring the space and disturbing the precepts of heaven and earth. Its power waves shattered pieces of the universe’s rocks.

Bai Qing’er retracted back her five fingers, and the colossal shadow hand grabbed the Black Dragon as if it was catching a loach.

Bang

The Black Dragon’s divine body exploded, and its scales, bones, head, and claws flew away. They rained down in the bloody and foul-smelling air. However, divine light still flickered from the broken corpse.

Yan Huangtu, Yan Zhexian, and Gong Nanfeng held their breaths till their hearts seemed to stop beating.

Was Blackwraith of the Ten Wraithions killed so easily by a claw?

Even a pseudo god might not be able to do it.

Was she really Bai Qing’er?

She was just a cultivator below divinity.

Fei Zhong, who was running away, was horrified to find that the stone pavilion, which should have been thousands of miles behind him, had appeared in front of him.

He stopped and said with a bitter expression, “What kind of power is this… dimensions or illusions? Could this be a maze?”

Bai Qing’er stood on the steps beside the stone pavilion. Her black hair swayed in the wind, and her beauty was comparable to a painting. “I have completely absorbed your spiritual power. Undoubtedly you won’t be able to sense what’s happening. There’s no harm in telling you that this is just a spiritual power attack. Your mind and thoughts have been affected to let you think that you were fleeing forward. In reality, you’ve run a circle and came back,” she said.

Fei Zhong was able to become one of the strongest among the Supreme Saint elites of the Paramount Realm. Even though his spiritual power had been sucked away, his Saint Soul and five senses were still powerful. Being toyed with by Bai Qing’er in the palm of her hand could only mean that her methods were too brilliant. No matter how much he resisted, it was futile.

Fei Zhong gave up on the idea of escaping and self-destructing his Sainthood Source. He bowed and said, “Lady Bai, you are indeed unparalleled in the world. I, Fei Zhong, surrender to you.”

“You didn’t call me that before,” Bai Qing’er said.

Fei Zhong’s expression changed again and again. He braced himself and said, “I am so stupid that I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Although Zhang Ruochen tricked me into destroying my puppet clone, you are still smart. At least you know what’s good for you. So do not play dumb in front of me,” Bai Qing’er said.

Fei Zhong was sweating profusely. His legs couldn’t help but tremble.

“Don’t be so scared. You’re quite powerful and valuable, so that I won’t kill you,” Bai Qing’er said.

Fei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed even lower and said, “When I said those words to Yan Yu… No, to Zhang Ruochen, I wasn’t referring to Lady Bai.”

Those words were, of course, “Sl*t.”

Bai Qing’er said, “I’ll give you two choices. First, cut off your tongue, kneel and call me master.”

“Second, die.”

Fei Zhong was trembling all over and was thinking hard while struggling within. In the end, his eyes became stern. A divine light appeared in his palm, and he activated the battle-ax in his hand.

Bai Qing’er’s voice came again, saying, “No one is born strong. There will always be times when they will be humiliated. Why must you choose the path of death? Why can’t you bear to live in shame and seek revenge in the future? You must believe your heart is unyielding to keep fighting despite the setbacks. Even if you submit to me, your heart will not yield. But if you die now, there will be nothing left even in the future.”

Like a demonic voice, Bai Qing’er’s every word was forced into Fei Zhong’s ears.

Gradually, the saint light in Fei Zhong’s palm dissipated. He closed his eyes. Although he was still standing, he swayed about and fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Qing’er nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly, she sensed something and looked at Zhang Ruochen lying on the stone table in surprise.

She saw that Zhang Ruochen’s body was shining like a star. He raised his head, and his eyes became clear again. A starry ocean appeared in each of his eyes.

Bai Qing’er walked over with a fragrant wind, “I didn’t expect that with your attainments in the Path of Truth, you could break through my Nightmare of the Seven Souls. It seems you didn’t only get the Canon of Truth after crossing the tenth level of the Sea of Truth.”

“You’re too suspicious! Who said that only the Path of Truth could break through the dreamland? My heart has been tempered countless times. A mere dreamland can do nothing to Lord Ironclad. Even Cang Baizi and the others can’t do anything to me,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Bai Qing’er said, “Is that so? Why don’t we try again?”

Zhang Ruochen avoided Bai Qing’er’s gaze and said, “Fine! I admit that your Nightmare of the Seven Souls is very powerful. If you hadn’t been distracted in killing Blackwraith and Fei Zhong, I might not have been able to break out of the dream with my current spiritual power.”

Bai Qing’er looked straight at Zhang Ruochen and said, “You’re hiding it.”

“I’m not hiding it,” Zhang Ruochen replied.

Bai Qing’er said, “You can’t hide it from me.”

“Forget it! There’s no harm in telling you. I do have the Canon of Truth, and I have quite a lot. If you want them, you just have to kill me to take them away,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Bai Qing’er replied, “Do you think I won’t kill you?”

“I think even the Canon of Truth can’t touch your heart. You are too arrogant and like to challenge the impossible to enjoy extreme excitement. The challenge of subduing a Yuanhui level genius is more exciting than getting the easily obtained Canon of Truth. I have already been captured by you twice, so I’m only one step away from losing to you. Don’t you want to try?” Zhang Ruochen said.

Bai Qing’er said, “You think you know me, now that’s arrogance!”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were sharp. He was always true to himself.

Bai Qing’er continued, “What the strong say to the weak, no matter how arrogant and ridiculous, is confidence. But what the weak say to the strong will be seen as arrogance even if they’re right.”

“What you said just now wasn’t wrong, but you shouldn’t have said it.”

“Now, I’ll have to change my mind. In fact, I can get a lot of benefits by killing you. Why should I gamble on an uncertain future?”

In an instant, killing intent surged from Bai Qing’er’s body.

The killing intent turned into a bloody mist and condensed into blood swords that flew toward Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen shouted, “You wouldn’t kill me.”

The blood swords stopped in front of him. The tip of the nearest blade was already pressing between Zhang Ruochen’s eyebrows.

The three people outside the stone pavilion could not hear the conversation between the two people in the stone pavilion, but they could feel the sudden burst of murderous intent from Bai Qing’er.

That murderous intent was directed at the hearts and Core Spirits. The three were terrified and thought that Zhang Ruochen would surely die.

However, the blood swords were frozen in front of Zhang Ruochen, which puzzled them immensely.

The intention to kill and murderous intent could not be fake.

What was going on with Bai Qing’er?

“I can’t believe you guessed it. Now, this isn’t interesting anymore!”

Bai Qing’er waved her hand, and the blood swords dispersed.

Zhang Ruochen regained his composure and smiled, saying. “It’s not hard to guess! Your goal has always been the Fane of Origin, not me or the Canon of Truth. You will never kill me before you have found the Seven-Armed Elder and get the Divine Crystal of Origin of the highest grade.”

“You pretended to kill me just to scare me off. Once the psychological defense is broken, you can use the dream world to control me, just like Fei Zhong.”

“Fei Zhong is not a coward. He has a strong will. There is no way you can subdue him with just a few words, so you used the power of the dream world in the end.”

Bai Qing’er eased her slim and lithe figure on the stone bench opposite Zhang Ruochen. She looked over at the sleeping Fei Zhong, “The Supreme Saint of a Paramount Realm won’t yield to me,” she said. “I can only try, but I could succeed… Actually, I’m not discouraged that you can hold your psychological defense. Instead, I’m pleased after all because there are fewer challenges for me below divinity. If a person lacks the will to challenge, he will inevitably return to mediocrity.”

“Then why don’t you directly break through to divinity? Do you challenge the deities?”

Zhang Ruochen lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for her.

Bai Qing’er said, “Do you know how powerful Wargod Bloodximius and Huang Tian were in the Paramount Realm?”

Zhang Ruochen began to nod but shook his head afterward.

Zhang Ruochen had read many books and seen many legends and achievements of Wargod Bloodximius and Huang Tian during the Supreme Saint period. However, they were only recorded in books after all. He wouldn’t know their true mysteries if he did not see them with his own eyes.

Bai Qing’er said, “The two of them lived in a world of chaos that rarely comes by. It was the most tragic and chaotic and where the most talents appeared in history. It wasn’t easy for them to stand out in that era. They also reached a level that future generations find hard to surpass.”

Looking through the history of the eternal heavens, one would find a strange phenomenon. Geniuses would always appear concentrated in a certain period. And that period was primarily a world in chaos.

As the saying goes, the trend of events brings forth the hero.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You wanted to surpass the heights of Wargod Bloodximius and Huang Tian, but you found that the difference was too high. So, you placed your hopes on the Fane of Origin.”

“You’re half right,” Bai Qing’er said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “What about the other half?”

“You can try guessing. I’ll spare your life today if you’re right… I guess you also have a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin with you that I can obtain just by killing you,” Bai Qing’er said.

Zhang Ruochen hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Bai Qing’er’s face.

She knew that she was right. Zhang Ruochen did have a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin.

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen also knew he shouldn’t hesitate, but it was too late to regret his mistake.

Bai Qing’er grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s wrist. Her five fingers felt as soft as spring onions, but Zhang Ruochen’s Demigod-level physique couldn’t resist. He could only watch her take the Ring of Dimensions from him.

Bai Qing’er found the only supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin in the Ring of Dimensions. Holding it in her hand, she threw the Ring of Dimensions on the stone table without any interest in the ring that was a Supreme Artifact.

She said, “Now, you have lost the only thing you can rely on; you must guess well to keep your life. If you guess wrong, you will die.”

Time passed by in seconds and minutes.

Bai Qing’er was not a normal person. Whatever she did was outside the understanding scope of ordinary people.

It was not easy to guess what she was thinking.

“Okay! My time is precious, and I can’t waste it on you anymore. It seems that you will still die in the end.”

Bai Qing’er did not emit any killing intent. She was very calm. However, when she stretched out her finger, Zhang Ruochen did not doubt that she would kill him.

“A Chaotic world,” Zhang Ruochen shouted out.

Bai Qing’er’s finger stopped. She looked at him for a long time while a strange light appeared in her eyes. She smiled and said, “Continue.”

Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh of relief. He said, “You said earlier that the reason why Wargod Bloodximius and Huang Tian could grow to such heights was because of the chaotic world around them in the last Yuanhui Period.”

“Wargod Bloodximius and Huang Tian did not have a stable cultivation environment in the chaotic era. They were threatened by their peers, gods, and by thousands of soldiers. Both of them could die in battle at any moment.”

“Moreover, there were countless geniuses around them. They fought and killed every day while improving through practice and upgrading themselves.”

“All of these things you didn’t have.”

“You’ve been hiding your strength in the dark and never fully displayed it. How can you surpass them under these circumstances?”

“I’m guessing that you want to create a chaotic world by yourself without chaotic times. One that can attract countless Saint-level experts and even reveal the chaotic side of the gods.”

“Are you purposefully letting the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin come into being?”

Bai Qing’er drank Zhang Ruochen’s tea with a smile, “Otherwise, do you think the Enchanteur Chamber couldn’t even recognize the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and let it simply show up at the Citadel Casino? It also happened to be conveniently seen by more than a dozen top elites of the Infernal Court while during such a sensitive time when the Jadeite Realm opened as well.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Then, what about the Seven-Armed Elder? Is he also one of your people?”

“No! This old man is more cunning than I thought. He almost made me lose control of the overall situation,” Bai Qing’er said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “So, you don’t know much about the Seven-Armed Elder, and that bet was just to test him? So why did you kill him?”

“If I wanted to kill him, he would have died long ago! My goal is to capture him and let him take me to the Fane of Origin personally,” Bai Qing’er said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “So after the Seven-Armed Elder escaped, you could only settle for the next best thing and stole the five supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin that was meant to be distributed to the various powers of the Infernal Court. But unfortunately, you found that the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin had been replaced, so you must find the Seven-Armed Elder or the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. Otherwise, you will lose control of the overall situation.”

“I understand now! The Fane of Origin is your bait to create a small chaotic world and attract the powerful elites from the major forces to hone yourselves.”

“Moreover, all of this can only be carried out after the opening of the Jadeite Realm. Otherwise, the appearance of the Fane of Origin will alarm countless deities.”

Bai Qing’er said, “You’re wrong about one thing. I never planned to give the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin to the big forces of the Infernal Court. Even if they don’t have the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, they’ll automatically catch up to me. I want them to catch up to me. Look, the current situation on Hoth is so chaotic.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Did you deliberately let us escape in Ji Feng Manor?”

Bai Qing’er shook her head and said, “I just didn’t want to expose myself.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “There are two things I don’t understand. First, why must the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin be sent to the Fane of Destiny? Is it to let the Fane of Destiny join your game?”

“No, not just the Fane of Destiny, but the entire Infernal Court and perhaps some forces from the Celestial Court.”

Bai Qing’er laughed. “The 17 powers traveled from the Fane of Destiny to Hoth, and there was such a big commotion. Don’t you think the various forces of the Infernal Court and Celestial Court can sit still?”

“Are you crazy? You know that if you suffer a backlash, you will die, and the entire Enchanteur Chamber will be reduced to ashes,” Zhang Ruochen warned.

Bai Qing’er didn’t care. “What’s your second question?”

Zhang Ruochen calmed down and said, “You made such a big commotion, but no one predicted what you would do. How did you do it? What is the divine protection covering your tracks behind you.”

“I can’t answer that,” Bai Qing’er said.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Hoth Emperor?”

Bai Qing’er looked in the direction of Hoth, “You’d better not slander him. This place is very close to Hoth. You correctly guessed half of my thoughts, meaning you are as mad as me.”

“Zhang Ruochen, it’s a pity that you are too young to be my opponent. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be in such a dangerous situation.” She continued, saying. “Your fiancée is quite good. She inherited the inheritance of some great figures in Kunlun. It’s a pity that she’s too eager to achieve divinity. Otherwise, I would go to Kunlun to kill her. Now, it seems that I can only kill her as practice after achieving divinity. Will you be grateful to me for that?”

“Hah.” Zhang Ruochen sneered.

Bai Qing’er stood up and said, “Let’s go. It’s time to leave!”

“Where to?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“The Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt… No, the Fane of Origin.”

Bai Qing’er looked at him with a smile, and she said, “Come with me. I’ll show you what it means to kill. “I’ve been hiding my strength for so many years. I need endless battles and pressure to master what I’ve learned all my life. When I kill my way to the Fane of Origin, I may be able to transcend and reach the state I want to reach.”
