Chapter 408 - New Age, Demonic Emperor Awakens (1/2)

A clone?

Zhou Xuanji sank into his thoughts, not knowing what to say.

What he knew was that this Xuan Daoya in front of him was very dangerous.

Xuan Daoya looked at him and continued to speak, “I gave you a new life, gave you Fate, and also guided my clone to find and protect you. Do you think I’d have ill-intent towards you? If I wanted to kill you, you would have already died hundreds of thousands of times.”

Hearing this, Zhou Xuanji pouted. Alright, he believed him.

This fellow was just as puffed up as Daoya Old Man.

Daoya Old Man’s appearance suddenly changed. His figure straightened and became robust-looking. His skin was no longer wrinkled, and even though his hair was still white, there was an air of arrogance about him, looking like a 20 years younger Daoya Old Man.

“So, why did you nurture me like this?” Zhou Xuanji circulated magic energy through his body as he asked.

Xuan Daoya stroked his beard as he laughed and said, “Naturally because I’ve chosen you to be my successor. The Northern Wilderness is a chess board, and many people are playing. The Heavenly Palace can barely be counted as a second-rate faction. They want to destroy the Northern Wilderness’ human race, while people of my level want to pick chess pieces. To me, whether or not the human race is destroyed is not important.”

This fellow was so pretentious.

Hearing him talk, Zhou Xuanji felt his scalp become numb.

Xuan Daoya gave a long laugh as he said, “You’ve destroyed the fate covering the Northern Wilderness and now the Northern Wilderness is independent. Those from other realms are unable to come in, but you all won’t be able to leave either. That boy Dugu didn’t tell you that wanting to reconnect the Northern Wilderness with the Upper Realm is incredibly difficult. Even ordinary True Gods would find it very difficult.”

After speaking, Xuan Daoya felt quite sullen—why was this boy not shocked?

At the very least, he should show some reaction?

Zhou Xuanji let out a breath and said, “I succeeded.”

As for what Xuan Daoya had just told him, he had expected it because he believed in himself.

After tens of thousands of years, he would be unimaginably powerful.

At the very least, for now, the Upper Realm would no longer be able to send soldiers to harass the Northern Wilderness.

Xuan Daoya glared at him, feeling that this boy was too arrogant.

“There are many secrets hidden in the Northern Wilderness, so do your best to dig them out. Don’t think that the crisis is over; in the future, I’ll still need you to act,” Xuan Daoya said.

Zhou Xuanji looked at him, looking quite confused.

Xuan Daoya did not go into depth and said, “There are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. Never lose respect for others, and don’t tell others about me. I can become your biggest trump card.”

Zhou Xuanji frowned; this fellow was going to leave just like that?

Zhou Xuanji stopped thinking about it, by which time Xuan Daoya’s aura had already disappeared.

Zhou Xuanji shook his head and flew inland.

Two days later, he returned to Skyfall.

On the way, he did not encounter any more of the Heavenly Palace’s soldiers.

After Zhou Xuanji had destroyed the sky, the Heavenly Palace’s soldiers and the Heavenly Palace had lost connection. They were afraid of Zhou Xuanji, so they all hid, waiting for the Heavenly Palace to send reinforcements.

Zhou Xuanji also understood some things that had happened while he had been unconscious.

All creatures in the world had seen that sky-destroying strike. The entire world had been bathed in powerful light for half the time of an incense stick, unable to see anything.

After the powerful light disappeared, everything became calm again.

The Heavenly Palace retreated, and after the human race felt some shock, they started to recover.

The entire Northern Wilderness was covered with sorrow.

Zhou Xuanji listened to the Elders report and he could not help but keep glancing at Daoya Old Man.

At first, Daoya Old Man did not notice, but soon, he noticed that something was off.

After everyone finished talking, he quickly left, but he was still found by Zhou Xuanji.

Daoya Old Man asked warily, “Boy, what do you want?”

The way Zhou Xuanji looked at him was quite strange, making him feel somewhat afraid.

He had lived for thousands of years and seen almost everything.

Could it be that Zhou Xuanji had injured his head during the battle.

“Is there anything you’re hiding from me?” Zhou Xuanji asked seriously.

Daoya Old Man’s heart thumped as he said awkwardly, “Did you find out about me boasting to the disciples?”

He often boasted that if it wasn’t for him, Zhou Xuanji would not be able to reach where he was today.
