398: retreat

It was nothing more than fighting to the Peak, pushing himself to the ultimate sublimation.

A brilliant divine light bloomed from Wang Dong’s body.

A hint of crimson was hidden within it.

Clearly, after fighting until now, Wang Dong was ready to get serious.

The Dao belonging to the Source of Life on his body became incredibly dense at this moment.

The astonishing injuries on his body recovered in an instant.

The bleeding wound on his chest quickly scabbed over, fell off, and then healed as if new.

Wang Dong once again charged forward proactively.

“You are not my opponent!” the Lord of Reincarnation snorted coldly.

But the more he fought, the more his heart trembled.

He had initially thought Wang Dong was a minor character he could easily deal with.

He never expected to have fought with him until now, his strength far exceeding his expectations.

However, the Lord of Reincarnation still had confidence in suppressing Wang Dong.

The profound Six Paths Reincarnation Disk continuously rotated, and streaks of mysterious and heavy aura descended from the disk.

It seemed to want to completely envelop Wang Dong, who could even feel a tearing sensation from the space around him.

It seemed to want to drag him into the Animal Path, turning him into a beast without sentience.

But Wang Dong’s will was incredibly firm; this illusory feeling was repelled by him as soon as it appeared.

A monstrous bloody light erupted from his body.

Azure-gold Dragon scales condensed into armor, and he charged forward again like an undefeated God of War.

Rumble, rumble.

The sounds of battle were incessant.

Even as the duration of the engagement gradually lengthened, the battle power Wang Dong displayed further increased.

Before, he had always lacked someone who could test his own learnings.

Rashly challenging a Dark Supreme, in Wang Dong’s view, might be a bit risky.

But now, someone had come to his doorstep, which was perfect for honing his own battle power.

Rumble, rumble!

As the battle continued, he gained a new grasp of his Great Accomplishment Holy Body’s battle power.

Evidently, even when facing a Current Era Great Emperor, Wang Dong had the confidence to fight.

Of course, whether he won or lost was a separate matter.

The Lord of Reincarnation’s expression turned extremely ugly upon realizing this.

He had fought desperately on the Road to Immortality, paying a huge price.

Now that he had returned, he had planned to harvest the beings of the Myriad Realms to replenish his Source of Life.

He never expected to suffer a setback from Wang Dong before even starting.

He sensed the Source of Life he had nominally left behind within himself.

After a quick estimate, he swiftly distanced himself.

“Enough! I have other matters today, so I’ll let you off this time.”

The Lord of Reincarnation was very rational.

If he had been confident in completely resolving Wang Dong at an extremely fast speed before.

Then, as the fighting time lengthened to now, even if he believed he could still achieve victory,

He no longer had the firm conviction he had at the beginning.

Instead of wasting time with Wang Dong here, he might as well go harvest the beings of the Myriad Realms.

Although the effect might not be as good as a Great Accomplishment Holy Body.

It would still be enough for him to live through a long period of time.

Ten thousand years would be enough to wait for Wang Dong’s Great Accomplishment Holy Body to decline.

The Ancient Sacred Body, inherently possessing the Great Dao of Life, in a sense, a Major Achievement in this physique meant mastering the Great Dao of Life, similar to an alternative Dao Attainer.

However, it lacked the comprehension of life, leading to a slight difference from a true Great Emperor.

But relying on his sturdy Physical Body, he wouldn’t fall too far behind.

And when his Qi and blood declined, his strength would drop significantly, even far exceeding a Great Emperor in their later years.

Instead of fighting desperately with Wang Dong in his prime.

It would be better to wait until Wang Dong’s Qi and blood declined before making a move.

This might carry some risk, as Wang Dong might be harvested by other Dark Supremes beforehand.

But it could greatly avoid the immediate crisis he might face.

The Dark Supremes were not a monolithic entity among themselves.

Who among them hadn’t attacked other Life Forbidden Zones when they became Emperor?

Numerous grudges were already intertwined with them.

Conflicts had already erupted during the Road to Immortality.

The Lord of Reincarnation also had many enemies.

Once he consumed himself here with Wang Dong, achieving victory would be good, harvesting the Source of Life of a Great Accomplishment Holy Body.

His strength could recover to its Peak, maintaining it for a long time.

But what if he failed?

What if those enemies took advantage of the situation and joined forces with Wang Dong to kill him?

The Lord of Reincarnation did not have absolute confidence to simultaneously deal with two Supremes.

Perhaps he had that confidence before he ventured onto the Road to Immortality.

But now, it was better to temporarily avoid the confrontation.

As his words fell, his figure transformed into a phantom and disappeared into the Starry Sky.

He rushed towards the Ancient Stars of Life in other Star Domains at an extremely fast speed.

He had to devour the Source of Life to replenish himself.

Otherwise, if time continued to be wasted, and if the other Supremes had already completed their replenishment, the Lord of Reincarnation worried they might intercept him prematurely.

Seeing the Lord of Reincarnation flee.

Wang Dong moved, intending to pursue him.

However, at this moment.

A trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes as he looked in a certain direction.

There were fluctuations from a Great Emperor over there.

Was the Golden Crow Great Emperor fighting someone?

Wang Dong could clearly feel that supreme Law.

And the person fighting him was equally strong; the strength he displayed was not much weaker even compared to the Lord of Reincarnation.

Should he go and take a look?

Wang Dong was currently only at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Even with this supreme battle power, his own Dao path was there, and he was still a considerable distance from becoming Emperor.

If he could observe the only Current Era Great Emperor fighting another, he might be able to glean many special insights from it, thereby allowing himself to advance further.

However, at this moment.

Wang Dong’s mind suddenly trembled.

Endless shouts came to his ears.

“We implore the Holy Body to protect the Human Race.”

“We implore the Holy Body to shelter our Human Race.”

“Please, Holy Body, make a move.”

“We are willing to chant Karma for generations.”

Pleading voices, as if from the Myriad Realms of the Universe, echoed.

Countless pleas continuously swirled in Wang Dong’s mind.

What was this?

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, always feeling that this sensation was somewhat like the so-called incense.

More precisely, it should be Power Of Will.

Were all these people praying to him?

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly recovered.

The Lord of Reincarnation appeared here, stirring up the Dark Turmoil.

Perhaps it was because he was defeated on the Road to Immortality.

And accompanying the Lord of Reincarnation to the Road to Immortality were over 30 Dark Supremes.

Although Wang Dong didn’t know what happened, he could imagine that there must be something fishy about it.

The retreating Dark Supremes certainly couldn’t launch a Dark Turmoil in just one place.

Perhaps the Myriad Realms were plagued by disasters everywhere.

And these people calling out to him clearly intended for him to go and protect them.

Wang Dong had no such intention.

But in the midst of it all, Wang Dong felt that this might be of great benefit to him.

He glanced in the direction where the Golden Crow Great Emperor was fighting.

The sounds over there were rumbling, and each collision stirred up energy ripples that swept across the Myriad Realms.
