Chapter 2076: Could He Live Long?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In a region in the Donghua Domain, a group of people was traversing across the sky. The leader was Goddess Donglai. They were rushing towards Eastern Deity Island.

“We most likely will not be able to stay on Eastern Deity Island for long,” Alchemy Emperor said next to Goddess Donglai. Goddess Donglai nodded her head and said, “After we get back, we’d better prepare to evacuate Eastern Deity Island and find another place to settle down.”

The Alchemy Emperor did not say anything. He looked far behind them. Not long ago, they had parted ways with Li Changsheng. He had decided to return to Wangshen Watchtower. Alchemy Emperor was somewhat worried. Li Changsheng would probably never return.

However, Li Changsheng had insisted on doing so. They could not do anything about it. This was the principle that he held on to.

Xia Qingyuan retrieved the Zimu Yuanyang Mirror and was conversing with Ye Futian over transmitted thoughts. After knowing where Ye Futian was based, she was much more relieved. Now, in the entire Donghua Domain, the only person who could truly protect Ye Futian was most likely Emperor Xi.

Coincidentally, Emperor Xi had helped him out. That way, even if it was discovered, Emperor Xi had the ability to go against the Chief of the Donghua Domain.

At that moment, on an ancient peak on Turtle Deity Island, Ye Futian sat there quietly. After hearing that Li Changsheng had returned to Wangshen Watchtower on his own, he felt a pang of sadness. Older Brother Li usually joked around casually, but he was truly a man who took brotherhood seriously.

Otherwise, why would he return to Wangshen Watchtower at a time like this?

Currently, Wangshen Watchtower was the most dangerous place for him. Li Changsheng was surely aware of this. Ning Yuan had personally declared that the name of Wangshen Watchtower would be eliminated. That meant that the Wangshen Watchtower did not exist anymore.

Why did he return to Wangshen Watchtower now?

...

In the Dongxiao Continent, at Wangshen Watchtower.

At Wangshen Watchtower, there were many cultivators from all around the Dongxiao Continent, especially from the main cities of the Dongxiao Continent. After the Renhuangs of the various forces caught wind of the news of the downfall of Wangshen Watchtower, they came here to pillage and loot. This even resulted in a huge battle. Many of the ancient palaces of Wangshen Watchtower had collapsed and were destroyed. It was as though this place was an ancient ruin and not a holy land for cultivating.

At that moment, below Wangshen Watchtower, a silhouette stepped onto the stairs leading up to the tower. This person was an elder, and he carried a corpse with him. He instantly drew the attention of many people.

Up above, some people looked down at the person who had arrived. They could not help but narrow their gazes.

It was Li Changsheng. The corpse was that of Zong Chan.

Li Changsheng actually dared to return to Wangshen Watchtower. Was he seeking his own death?

The other cultivators had heard about the battle during the Donghua Banquet. The Millet Emperor was severely injured, and he escaped from the Donghua Heavens. After that, Emperor Yan personally led an army over here to track down the Millet Emperor. The news shook the entire Dongxiao Continent. Rumor has it that most of the members of Wangshen Watchtower had perished or were injured. Zong Chan had been killed and the name of Wangshen Watchtower had been eliminated by the Chief. It no longer existed.

Hence, the members of the various forces threw coal on the fire and came to Wangshen Watchtower to pillage and loot.

Now, Li Changsheng had actually returned. For the other cultivators, this was tantamount to suicide.

However, those who saw Li Changsheng dashed away. They were still very cautious of him. After all, they took advantage of the situation, and Li Changsheng was the top disciple of Wangshen Watchtower.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, the stone step beneath Li Changsheng’s feet split apart. He looked up into the sky above. His cloudy eyes were now filled with a cold look. The once glorious and prosperous holy land of the Dongxiao Continent was now in such a state. Everywhere was left in ruins, and it had fallen into dilapidation.

“Let’s go.”

A Renhuang dashed away. When the Renhuang saw Li Changsheng shatter the stone step beneath his feet, he could faintly sense a suppressed rage coming from Li Changsheng. At that moment, Li Changsheng was emanating a cold majestic aura. He even emanated murderous intent. This caused the Renhuang to feel very uneasy, especially since Li Changsheng had carried a corpse back with him.

However, the Renhuang had just stepped into the air when countless branches and vines swept towards his figure and entangled him. Flames of the Way radiated from the Renhuang’s figure as he attempted to burn off the vines. Yet, frightening halos of the Great Path flowed over the vines and the leaves. The flames could not touch them.

Swoosh. Swoosh. The vines embedded themselves in the Renhuang’s body, causing him to scream in pain. His entire person was buried within the vines, and he was gradually suffocating. His person could no longer be seen.

Very soon, the vines were dyed red with blood. With a rustling sound, the vines turned to dust, and blood poured down like rain. The Renhuang had perished and no longer existed.

This caused the expressions of the Renhuangs on the Wangshen Watchtower to change drastically. Many of them frantically prepared to leave. However, Li Changsheng took a step forward and flew into the air. His figure shot straight up into the sky above Wangshen Watchtower. At the same time, his will enveloped the space far into the distance, forming a terrifying domain of the Great Path. The vines of the ancient tree blocked out the sun, enveloping this part of the sky and the vast space within it.

The expressions of many Renhuangs changed. They looked up above Wangshen Watchtower. Right now, Li Changsheng stood high in the air. Vines swept out from his figure and covered the sky. Everyone could sense murderous intent filling the air.

At that moment, Li Changsheng seemed to have completely changed. He was different from before and was no longer the Li Changsheng who many of the cultivators of the Dongxiao Continent knew.

Buzz.

In the vast space, countless branches rustled as they descended upon the Renhuangs. An extremely sharp aura suddenly emanated from the branches. It was as though they contained Sword Will.

Ptui. Ptui. Ptui.

The next moment, sounds could be heard, followed by many screams. The branches that filled the sky pierced through many Renhuangs. Fresh blood rained down from the sky. The sky above Wangshen Watchtower was dyed crimson. In a flash, countless Renhuangs were killed.

“Senior, I only came here to admire Wangshen Watchtower. I have no other intentions,” some people said in terror.

“Senior Li, we are members from Alchemy Divine Palace. We only came here to take a look,” other voices cried out. They were all desperate pleas. Alas, Li Changsheng did not seem to hear them. Endless divine halos enveloped this space. The branches were like indestructible blades, killing them off silently.

Right now, Li Changsheng had become a God of Death.

During the Donghua Banquet, the Wangshen Watchtower had faced a huge crisis and was hunted down by three major forces. More than half their force was dead or injured. Zong Chan had died in battle, and the Millet Emperor escaped with heavy injuries. Now that Li Changsheng had returned to Wangshen Watchtower, the cultivators of the Dongxiao Continent were actually rampaging around here. One could imagine how Li Changsheng felt upon seeing this.

As for the excuses given by the cultivators, he ignored them. Came to admire the tower? Came to take a look?

Couldn’t they do so from afar? If Wangshen Watchtower had not suffered such a catastrophe, would any one of them have dared to step into Wangshen Watchtower so presumptuously?

They stood on Wangshen Watchtower. Hence, that meant that they believed that Wangshen Watchtower had fallen and no longer recognized its existence. Hence, Li Changsheng showed no mercy.

Rumble. Just then, an intense rumble came from afar. On one side, Flames of the Way burned away the branches. A sage-like figure charged into Li Changsheng’s domain. The figure had a cold and indifferent expression. It was the Palace Lord of Alchemy Divine Palace. He stared at Li Changsheng. In a cold tone, he said, “Li Changsheng, you are presumptuous.”

Li Changsheng swept a glance at the other party. From another direction, Yan Hanxing and the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family cultivators appeared, along with members of some of the top forces of the Dongxiao Continent. From the looks of it, they had already discussed how they would divide up the Wangshen Watchtower.

“The Chief has already ordered the removal of the name of Wangshen Watchtower from the Donghua Domain. Li Changsheng, the Chief showed mercy and spared your life. However, you went on a killing spree and frenziedly slaughtered the cultivators of the Dongxiao Continent. Since you have done so, we will eliminate you,” Yan Hanxing said in a cold tone. He had been waiting here all this while. The moment Li Changsheng returned, he would certainly die.

Li Changsheng shouldn’t have returned.

Li Changsheng glanced at the other party. He did not say anything. His figure descended upon the highest region of Wangshen Watchtower. He walked up to a place that had sunk in. This was where the divine watchtower initially stood. The divine watchtower was taken away by the Millet Emperor, leaving behind a deep pit.

Li Changsheng placed Zong Chan’s corpse within the pit. He said, “Younger Brother, you comprehended the Way here. Rest in peace here as well.”

As he said this, he sat down beside the corpse. In an instant, a divine tree appeared on his body and took root in the ground, planting itself in Wangshen Watchtower.

“I grew up in this place. If I am to meet my end, it should also be here.” As Li Changsheng said this, a divine aura radiated from his body. The roots of the ancient tree dug deep underground frenziedly. It took root deep in the lands of the entire Wangshen Watchtower. He wanted to become a part of Wangshen Watchtower.

He had spent his life here. If he were to die, it should also be here.

Li Changsheng could not live long in the end!
