Chapter 1720 - : Were all of the Same Roots (1/2)

The Azure Supreme Thearch was a distance from the Azure Supreme Thearch City, about five million kilometers away. He traveled extremely quickly. In fact, fewer than three people in the entire Primordial World was faster than him.

Even so, he needed at least five minutes to arrive, and this was with the help of his instant shift mystical ability, which only Thearch-Ranked martial artists could use. If he depended on flying, he would need at least ten minutes.

Five minutes was a very short time, but it was enough for Jiang Yi to go on a killing spree. He did not pay any attention to the attacks coming at him from all directions. The Heavenly Wind Armor and his Pseudo Thearch-Ranked physical body could protect him from death. Those King-Ranked martial artists kept coming at him, but at the very most, they could only injure him.

He did not want to be held back by these King-Ranked martial artists. Of course, if anyone dared to block his front, his mummy would strike them. Then, he would continue advancing forward. He knew he did not have that much time. He wanted to kill the entire army of soldiers and scatter the Azure Supreme Thearch City with corpses.

He had a lot of five-colored Merged Flames in his ninth star sphere, but in such a short time, he nearly finished all of it. It was a two-million-strong army. In addition to about twenty million civilians, the entire Azure Supreme Thearch City was filled with people. The civilians were panicking and trying to escape in all directions while the soldiers were charging towards Jiang Yi. This made the entire city even more chaotic.

Just before the Azure Supreme Thearch’s two eyes congealed, close to half the two-million-strong army had already been killed. Now, after tens of rounds of attacks, hundreds of thousands more were either severely injured or burnt to death. While there were tens of King-Ranked martial artists at first, less than twenty remained. On top of that, close to five million civilians in the city had already perished. This was the toll because Jiang Yi was not targeting any civilians; otherwise, more than ten million civilians would have perished by now.

These civilians did not have strong battle skills; that was why they were being referred to as civilians.

In actual fact, they were not true civilians. Why else would they be allowed to stay in Azure Supreme Thearch City? These people were the clansmen of great family clans, who were slaves to the Dao Clan and the Azure Supreme Thearch. There were more than three hundred great family clans in the city. All of them resided in Azure Supreme Thearch City because they thought that it was the safest place to live in the world. They never expected that a calamity like this would befall them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

More than three minutes passed, but the massacre was still happening. Jiang Yi’s eyes were bloodshot. He could not afford to care too much about anything else. He looked almost completely demonized and crazed by now. Wherever he saw people charging at him, he would rush towards them and deal attacks without aiming. He only had one thought in his mind: he wanted to kill everyone in this city so that the Azure Supreme Thearch would be hit where it hurt the most.

The Azure Supreme Thearch could arrive at any moment. No matter how big the world was, there was no way he would be able to escape. The Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch was still in a deep sleep. So what if he woke up? All that was left of him was his remnant soul. It was already amazing enough that this remnant soul could remain in Stellarsky Domain for a million years without dissipating. He later even managed to help Jiang Yi kill off a Netherworld General and set up a big array formation. Even if his soul was awakened, the Azure Supreme Thearch would probably be able to completely ignore him and slaughter Jiang Yi in a fit of anger!

Since the Azure Supreme Thearch could instruct Dao Nu to do all he could to kill Jiang Yi, it was obvious that he did not care much for his identity as the Heavenly Thearch’s successor. This showed that… the Azure Supreme Thearch was not loyal to the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch. Perhaps the Azure Supreme Thearch would have submitted to the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch while the latter was alive, but now that the latter was dead, he would no longer be able to stop the Azure Supreme Thearch.

Boom!

Jiang Yi was hit by a beam of light, which sent him flying from the palm of the mummy’s hand. He crashed into a castle, but he quickly rebounded. He shook his head as fresh blood flowed out from the corners of his lips.

His head was throbbing, but the shock seemed to have awoken him. His eyes were no longer flashing red. He looked around at what had become of the Azure Supreme Thearch City and saw the remnants of the tall castles that once stood. For some reason, a wave of sadness overcame him. Perhaps this was because he—Jiang Yi—was about to be buried here!

He did not continue attacking the people around him. It was almost as if he was tired, exhausted… numb from all the killing.

He paused in midair and looked at the corpses littered around the city. A realization washed over him. Was he right or wrong to kill in this manner? Should he continue?

The Phantom King, Earth Emanations Sovereign, and Wintry Sovereign’s death message, the Azure Supreme Thearch’s plotting against him… all of these filled him with anger and indignance. Now, all of those feelings had been vented. The killing intent that filled his heart just minutes ago had eased up.

“Forget it, forget it, forget it! Everyone, stop attacking me! I don’t want to kill anymore!”
