Chapter 890: Demise (1/2)

The great wilderness was vast and boundless, cached with countless secrets that not even the mighty creators had fully identified.

The Mu nation was to the east of the great wilderness, and the Jin nation to its far west. There were five hundred million kilometers between the two. Tang Valley was at the foot of Sky Mountain, both of which were in the west.

Rushou and Dijiang were traveling side by side as the two were on friendly terms, which was why Rushou had asked Dijiang to come with him to pressure Goumang together.

“Who would’ve thought old man Goumang would give in so easily? I’d thought he would ask that Lie Shan to fight the two of us together.” Rushou was in an exceedingly good mood and looked merrily at his friend.

“With the Bell of Chaos in hand, even Leize has to give way before me if he’d come.” Dijiang smirked proudly. “What a pity that I need the bell to be able to fight him though, even at my current strength.”

“True… he’s part of the first batch of connate demon gods that formed in the great wilderness. They’re too strong!”

Deep reservations flashed through both Dijiang and Rushou’s eyes when they thought of Leize. The demon god was very strong and extraordinarily tyrannical in his dealings. He killed at the drop of a hat whenever he was displeased, and was in fact, more out of control than man of the hour Lie Shan.

“However—“ Dijiang’s grin widened. “If I could obtain Taiyi’s true feather and refine it into myself, I’ll be able to undo the final restriction in the Bell of Chaos and fully make it mine. I’ll be able to kill Leize with a single blow then!”

“Eh?!” Expression freezing, Rushou played it off. “Surely you jest, fellow daoist.”

“I’m not joking!” The grin on Dijiang’s face took a sinister bent. “There’s a final restriction in the Bell of Chaos that prevents me from fully refining it. But if I obtain Taiyi’s true feather and change my constitution to be the same as his, I think I’ll be able to truly make the bell mine.

“Rushou, you and I will still be fellow daoists if you give me the feather. If not… you’ll be a dead daoist.”

Joviality sliding off his face, Dijiang looked coldly at Rushou.

Humm.

The golden Bell of Chaos suddenly appeared over Dijiang’s head and sealed off an area three thousand kilometers across. Rushou registered the developments with an ugly expression; he hadn’t expected Dijiang to scheme after the Taiyi true feather!

The two demon gods had been evenly matched before, but now that Dijiang possessed the bell, he was overwhelmingly stronger than Rushou.

“It seems that you’re not willing to hand it over… in that case, my fellow daoist will have to be a dead daoist! I’ll send you on your way!” Not giving Rushou a chance to respond, Dijiang abruptly shifted into his true form of a four-winged, six-footed crimson bird and concentrated the power of the bell onto his body.

“Die!!” Dijiang’s claw came down on Rushou’s head with inevitable might. Bolstered by the power of the Bell of Chaos, he ripped through the very fabric of the great wilderness. There was nothing that could be done to withstand or avoid it.

“Go!” Rushou pointed forward and shot out a thin beam of golden radiance. It pierced through the curtain of light created by the bell and contained Bai Zhaoju within it.

“My disciple, you will enter Goldflare Mountain upon your return and cultivate until you’ve reached the chaos realm! You will be the ruler of the Jin nation afterward!” Rushou’s voice echoed in Bai Zhaoju’s mind.

“Master!!” screamed Bai Zhaoju in panic. He could clearly see that Rushou was standing in front of Dijiang with arms outstretched, using his physical body to bear the brunt of the bell’s power so it wouldn’t hit his disciple!

The streak of light that was Rushou’s greatest treasure carried Bai Zhaoju out of danger and shot furiously in the direction of the Jin nation.

“Lie Shan! Save my master!” Something suddenly occurred to Bai Zhaoju and he yelled with renewed hope.

“Lie Shan?” Following through with his devastating blow to Rushou, Dijiang’s expression shifted. “So you’re here alright.”
