268: Chapter 268 System Reminder

After being sent flying by Wang Chen, the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast finally managed to stabilize its form with great difficulty.

It looked down at the wound on its chest; black blood was still flowing.

The knife wound inflicted by that Human in the Floral Shirt was infused with a strange power that was currently preventing its self-healing.

It raised its head.

Looking at the human before it dressed in a black dragon robe, its eyes were filled with rage and indignation.

This truly was a case of a fallen tiger being bullied by a dog...

As a dignified Half-step Eternal being, it could be said to have already stood at the absolute Peak of the Great Dao.

When had it ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace...

"Human, you are fucking finished! To think you dare take action against this seat, you are seeking death!!"

After finishing its words.

It let out a furious roar, and the aura on its body erupted once again.

A terrifying Law of Destruction gushed out from its body, instantly transforming into a massive black dragon.

It then roared and charged directly toward Wang Chen.

Meanwhile, Wang Chen watched the black dragon lunging toward him.

His expression remained unchanged, and behind him, the Emperor's Dharma Idol emerged once more.

"Emperor's Dharma Idol — Suppression."

The golden Emperor's Dharma Idol abruptly opened its eyes.

A power terrifying to the extreme erupted from the Dharma Idol, instantly colliding with the black dragon.

Golden light and the black power of destruction intertwined, erupting with a force that could destroy heaven and earth.

At this moment.

The entire Dark World was trembling.

"BOOM—!!!"

With a massive explosion, the black dragon was crushed by the golden light.

The Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast's body was sent flying back once again by the shockwave.

Its eyes were filled with shock.

"This... this is impossible! You are just a human in the Immortal Realm, how could you possibly block this seat's attack?"

"Impossible... absolutely impossible..."

Wang Chen did not speak.

He simply raised his hand and made a grasping motion toward the Void Realm.

Instantly.

An invisible force directly enveloped the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast.

That was the Power of Imperial Fortune of the dynasty, the faith and loyalty of countless subjects toward him.

"A mere exotic beast dares to bark so wildly before Us!!"

Wang Chen's voice was as calm as water, yet it contained infinite majesty.

As his voice fell.

Behind him, the Emperor's Dharma Idol erupted once more.

The golden Dharma Idol spanned across the firmament, illuminating the entire Dark World.

As soon as the Dharma Idol appeared, all Laws submitted.

At this moment.

All Laws of Destruction began to tremble before that power.

Even the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast felt a shudder coming from the depths of its Soul.

"No... impossible! Who exactly are you? How can you be this strong?"

Wang Chen looked at it and simply said indifferently.

"We are the Emperor of the Tianxuan Dynasty."

The words fell.

He threw a punch.

This punch.

Exhausted all of his strength.

The golden fist print, like a rising sun in the darkness, carried the power to destroy heaven and earth as it blasted toward the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast.

"BOOM—!!!"

A thunderous explosion.

The Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast's body was once again sent flying by the punch.

Its scales were shattered, its flesh mangled, and black blood gushed out like a spring.

It struggled to stand up, only to find that its body no longer obeyed; that golden power was eroding its body and dismantling its will.

"No... impossible... this seat is Half-step Eternal... a being that transcends everything... how could..."

It muttered to itself.

Its eyes were full of despair.

Wang Chen walked up to it, looking down from a high vantage point.

"So what if you are Half-step Eternal? So what if you transcend everything? Before Us, you are nothing."

He raised his hand.

Preparing to deliver the final blow to the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast.

However.

Just then—

"Wait!"

The Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast suddenly spoke, its voice filled with fear and unwillingness.

"Human... this seat is willing to submit! I am willing to submit to you!"

"Submit?"

Wang Chen's hand stopped mid-air.

He looked at the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

A Half-step Eternal being was actually willing to submit?

This truly was beyond his expectations; he really hadn't thought the opponent would surrender.

Seeing Wang Chen stop his hand, the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast hurriedly lowered its body, its massive head almost touching the ground.

Its voice was filled with even more humility and fawning.

"Yes, Master! This seat is willing to submit and serve you loyally for eternity! Although this seat is heavily injured, I am after all a Half-step Eternal being; I am still useful to you."

"If you keep me, I can help you guard this world, I can also help you fight across all directions, and I can even..."

It said a great deal.

It was nothing more than wanting to prove its value, hoping Wang Chen would spare its life.

As a Half-step Eternal Realm being, it truly did not want to die.

It wasn't that it was afraid of death.

Rather, it still wanted to see the scenery of the true Eternal Realm.

That was its lifelong pursuit, the meaning of its existence.

If it died just like this.

It would not be reconciled!!

Wang Chen looked at the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast's humble appearance, but he did not speak.

To be honest.

He really hadn't expected the opponent to submit.

In his understanding, these old monsters who had lived for countless years were all full of backbone, the type to rather die than submit. The Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast had certainly broken his perception.

But.

He also didn't really want to let the opponent go.

The main reason was that the opponent's Realm was too high. Right now it was heavily injured, so he could still suppress it.

What if one day its injuries healed and it recovered to its Peak state? He might not necessarily be able to suppress it then.

What if it turned against him then?

Or what if it ran away?

These were all hidden dangers.

Rather than keeping such a time bomb, it was better to directly kill it to prevent future troubles.

Thinking of this.

Wang Chen's gaze became firm.

Upon sensing that killing intent, the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast trembled all over.

Its eyes were full of despair.

It opened its mouth, wanting to say something, but found that it couldn't say anything at all.

Before absolute strength, any words were pale.

Just as Wang Chen was about to take action—

[Ding! Host, please wait!]

A familiar voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

That voice was as mechanical and cold as ever, yet it carried a rare hint of urgency.

Wang Chen's hand paused, his brow furrowing slightly.

"System? Why are you popping up now?"

[Ding! Host, the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast before you is no ordinary Half-step Eternal being. It is manifested from the Origin of the Law of Destruction, a product condensed from the Law of Destruction when this world was born.]

Wang Chen was stunned.

"Origin of the Law of Destruction? What do you mean?"

[Ding! To put it simply, it is the Incarnation of the Law of Destruction. Keeping it will be of great help to the Host's future Breakthrough to the Eternal Realm.]

[A Breakthrough to the Eternal Realm requires comprehending the most primordial Laws. And it is the Origin of the Law of Destruction. With it by your side, the Host can more intuitively comprehend the Law of Destruction, greatly increasing the probability of breaking through to the Eternal Realm.]

A sharp light flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

"You mean, it's actually a treasure?"

[Ding! The Host can understand it that way.]

[Although its strength is great, it is essentially a strand of Law Origin. As long as the Host controls its Soul Imprint, it will be unable to resist. Whether its injuries recover or not is unimportant.]

[Because its life and death are within a single thought of the Host. Furthermore, the stronger it recovers, the greater the help it will be to the Host.]

After listening, Wang Chen fell silent for a moment.

He looked at the Ancestor of the World-Destroying Beast before him, who was humbled to the dust, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

So this old thing was actually a treasure; he had almost beaten it to death.

"Truly interesting..."
