Chapter 520: Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

The sky was covered in black clouds, lightning flashing as if heralding the birth of a monstrous calamity. Zhongshan's eyes glowed with a green light, and the colossal black eye in the sky grew increasingly solid.

Evil, endless evil energy.

The terrifying evil force radiated outward. The Wolf King Sha Po's eyes tightened, and he stepped back before turning his gaze to Han Ji Guang.

The Wolf King drew a large blade and swung it towards Han Ji Guang.

Sha Po knew Zhongshan was at a critical moment and couldn't let Han Ji Guang interfere. He didn't fully understand Han Ji Guang's secret techniques, but he could keep him pressured, preventing him from using any additional methods to disrupt Zhongshan.

"Boom!"

The clash between the two powerful beings released an energy wave that shot into the sky.

The black clouds scattered, perhaps ready to disperse on their own. In the sky, the black eye formed from Zhongshan's malevolent energy finally took shape. The center of the black eye, like Zhongshan's own eyes, radiated green light.

Han Ji Guang and the Wolf King, locked in battle, could only make out the vague outline of the green light.

Within the green light was a massive passageway.

A tunnel composed of countless rings of light, exuding an ominous feeling that even the Emperor Realm experts sensed as a threat during their fight.

A powerful threat.

Han Ji Guang, dodging the Wolf King's attack, glanced deeply at Zhongshan before turning and swiftly flying away.

Han Ji Guang felt a twinge of danger. This foreboding indicated that Zhongshan now possessed strength equal to his own. Coupled with the Wolf King, Han Ji Guang knew he would surely be defeated.

So, he retreated, planning to deal with Zhongshan another day.

The Wolf King watched Han Ji Guang's retreating figure and, once assured he was truly gone, turned to look at Zhongshan.

Above Zhongshan, the giant black eye formed from malevolent energy had completely vanished.

Zhongshan stood there, staring at the distant Han Ji Guang, the green light in his eyes fading. However, his pupils had turned green, looking like two green tunnels, each filled with an array of colors. They were strange and unsettling.

The Reincarnation Eyes. These were the Reincarnation Eyes!

Zhongshan had mastered the Reincarnation Eyes, but there was no joy, only boundless hatred.

Han Ji Guang!

"Zhongshan, what just happened?" the Wolf King asked, approaching Zhongshan.

Zhongshan turned to look at him.

The Wolf King involuntarily stepped back.

Too terrifying. What was this? For a moment, the Wolf King felt as if his soul was being pulled out of his body, as if Zhongshan's eyes were about to absorb his soul.

How could this be? He was an Emperor Realm expert with an unyielding soul. Not even a Supreme's gaze would be this frightening. Why was Zhongshan's gaze so different?

The Wolf King's eyes were filled with uncertainty and suspicion.

Was this the same Zhongshan he once looked down upon?

Zhongshan glanced at the Wolf King.

"You go back on your own," Zhongshan said curtly before turning and flying away.

Zhongshan's mood was terrible, filled with an unquenchable hatred for Han Ji Guang. Killing him would be too easy. He wanted Han Ji Guang utterly ruined, disgraced, tortured, and his entire clan exterminated.

It was only after Zhongshan had flown far away that the Wolf King Sha Po realized his clothes were soaked with sweat. He cast a lingering glance in the direction Zhongshan had gone before turning eastward, heading back to Sirius Island to report to the Supreme and seek counsel.

Han Ji Guang returned to his court, meeting Han Chuang along the way.

Together, they returned to the palace.

"Elder brother, is Chong'er really dead? What about Wei Ying Lan?" Han Chuang asked.

The ministers around them also turned their attention to Han Ji Guang, with Wangchen staring intently at him.

"Wei Ying Lan is dead," Han Ji Guang stated.

Wangchen staggered slightly upon hearing this.

"Dead? How did you kill Wei Ying Lan?" Wangchen demanded in shock.

"She self-destructed her Nascent Soul," Han Ji Guang replied.

Self-destructed her Nascent Soul? Han Chuang looked incredulous. This woman self-destructed her Nascent Soul? Why would she do that?

Wangchen, however, wavered again.

"Emperor Daguang, since Wei Ying Lan is dead, there's no reason for me to stay here any longer. I must take my leave!" Wangchen said urgently.

"Huh?" The others were taken aback.

Without further explanation, Wangchen turned and flew away, not even bidding farewell to his brother Han Chuang.

It seemed more like an escape.

Seeing Wangchen fly off without even a word, Han Chuang's face darkened. Watching Wangchen recede into the distance, he finally decided to follow.

The two flew swiftly, landing on a high mountain far from the Daguang Dynasty.

"Wangchen, what are you doing? Have you forgotten our master's orders?" Han Chuang shouted.

"Brother, I advise you to flee, flee now, or it will be too late," Wangchen replied, his voice filled with tension.

"What's going on? What has scared you so much?" Han Chuang asked, perplexed.

"Zhongshan. Zhongshan no longer has any weaknesses. With Wei Ying Lan's death, he has no vulnerabilities left," Wangchen explained.

"So what if he has no weaknesses?" Han Chuang scoffed.

"No weaknesses mean he's invincible. Wei Ying Lan's death has shattered the sky. Zhongshan cherished her most, and now that Han Ji Guang forced her to death, Zhongshan won't rest. A terrifying vengeance is about to begin," Wangchen said, shaking his head.

"What are you afraid of? No matter how strong he is, he's still just at the Imperial Peak Realm," Han Chuang retorted dismissively.

"You don't understand, you don't understand! This time is different. I can only tell you that the Daguang Dynasty is doomed, and anyone associated with it is doomed too. If you only judge Zhongshan by his cultivation level, you're making a grave mistake. An enraged Zhongshan is unpredictable and could do anything," Wangchen said with a hint of fear.

Wangchen remembered how terrifying Zhongshan could be. When he was young, and Zhongshan had just adopted him, there had been another boy. At that time, Zhongshan was only at the acquired stage, and five innate-level experts had traveled together. One of them killed the other boy, who was also a newly adopted son of Zhongshan. Despite the relatively shallow bond, Zhongshan, driven by his protective nature, had killed all five innate experts before the boy's seventh-day memorial.

Ying Lan is dead. How much emotion had Zhongshan entrusted to her? Dead? Forced to her death like this?

Wangchen was certain—Han Ji Guang was doomed, and so was the Daguang Dynasty.

"Senior brother, you're on your own," Wangchen said one last time.

With that, Wangchen turned and flew away quickly. He couldn't stay in the Daguang Dynasty for even a moment longer. He was terrified—terrified of the vengeful Zhongshan!

The lingering fear drove Wangchen to flee with all his might.

Watching Wangchen's retreating figure, Han Chuang sneered coldly. "Coward!"

Then Han Chuang turned and flew back.

He was confident in his near-Imperial Realm strength. The Daguang Dynasty had three peak Imperial Realm experts, plus Han Ji Guang. Unless an entire Celestial Dynasty army marched against them, how could they possibly lose?

Zhongshan returned home.

Half a month later, Zhongshan issued a proclamation of war:

Han Ji Guang, who killed my dearest, from this day forth, the Great Zhen Dynasty and Han Ji Guang are irreconcilable. Zhongshan and Han Ji Guang have a feud as deep as the sea, and we cannot live under the same sky. Zhongshan will avenge his kin, exterminating Han Ji Guang's nine clans with the punishment of a thousand cuts.

When my army reaches the cities of Daguang, I will slaughter the entire city, leaving no one alive!

From this day forth, those who serve Han Ji Guang, die! Those who befriend Han Ji Guang, die! Those who aid Han Ji Guang, die! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

This proclamation shocked the world.

The proclamation reeked of bloodlust, with the last nine "kills" filled with endless ferocity.

Dominance—this proclamation exuded immense dominance and terrifying authority. Anyone who dared to help Han Ji Guang would be killed! This was not only a proclamation against Han Ji Guang but also a warning to the world. Who dared to assist Han Ji Guang? Zhongshan would kill them all!

Slaughter entire cities! Exterminate completely! Leave no one alive!

Indeed, there were a few extremely brutal dynasties in Shenzhou that would massacre entire cities after wars, but none had ever been as brazen as Zhongshan. He unabashedly announced his intent to slaughter entire cities. How lawless could he be?

The army of the Great Zhen Dynasty swept through the chaotic lands with a terrifying speed. Countless eyes watched, knowing that once the chaotic lands were pacified, the next target would be the Daguang Dynasty.

Of course, no one knew that Zhongshan had already started targeting the Daguang Dynasty.

The fierce and domineering proclamation spread quickly across the world, reaching numerous powers.

In the Eternal Joy Dynasty, the Grand King of Daxuan looked at the message in his hand and then handed it to his chief strategist, Fan Yipin.

"So much bloodlust!" Fan Yipin exclaimed.

In the Grand Li Celestial Court, a ceremonial official reported the latest news. Zhongshan was a name known to all in the Li Fire Holy Capital. The elixir of immortality, the miraculous display of the Phoenixes, the audacious abduction of the princess—Zhongshan's name was as famous as Nirvana Fanchen's in the Grand Li Celestial Court.

But hearing Zhongshan's proclamation of war, everyone was stunned. Such deep hatred, such intense murderous intent. Just from this proclamation, one could feel the overwhelming ferocity.

Zhongshan's fury and his proclamation of vengeance were now known far and wide, a harbinger of the bloodshed to come.
