457: Goodbye is forever

“Roar—!”

The Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor was instantly enraged, his Dragon roar echoing through the Myriad Realms, causing them to tremble. He hadn't expected to suffer such a great loss so quickly. Ignoring the Merfolk Ancestor, he immediately swung his Dragon tail and pursued Wu Ning in the direction he had fled.

Swish!

The Merfolk Ancestor flashed and blocked his path. Her clothes were covered in dazzling bloodstains, and an incredibly violent Qi erupted from her delicate body.

“Presumptuous! How dare you block this Ancestor’s path? Then I shall deal with you first.”

Sensing the violent Qi on her, the Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor’s pupils contracted, and he immediately stopped.

“Zhu Long, setting your sights on me, you’ve probably picked the wrong person. Even if I return to Chaos and my Divine Soul is extinguished today, I will make you pay a heavy price!”

The Merfolk Ancestor’s eyes were cold, and she began to furiously burn her Origin, her Qi becoming increasingly violent.

“Overestimating yourself!”

The Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor snorted angrily, his giant claw tearing through the Void Realm as he immediately attacked her.

The Merfolk Ancestor looked back in the direction Wu Ning had left, letting out a silent sigh.

“To think that after waiting for endless years, our reunion would be our last… ”

The next instant, she withdrew her gaze, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in her eyes, and flashed towards the Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor.

Her Qi instantly surged wildly, becoming incredibly violent.

“Bastard, what are you doing?!”

The Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor was filled with shock and anger.

Boom—!!

The Merfolk Ancestor directly self-destructed her Divine Soul and Dominator Origin, instantly unleashing an endless destructive power. The boundless space around them instantly turned into nothingness, and an invisible force pierced through space-time, sweeping across the Myriad Realms at an incredible speed. In an instant, the Realm Sea trembled violently, and the Myriad Realms roared in unison.

A power many times more terrifying than the self-destruction of an Innate supreme treasure violently struck the Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor’s majestic and enormous body, directly blasting him away.

Countless pieces of flesh and blood splattered, scattering into the Void Realm, and even a sky-covering Dragon claw was blown off.

“Roar—!!”

The Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor immediately let out an incredibly furious roar, making countless living beings in the Myriad Realms tremble with fear.

…

At this moment, Wu Ning had already passed through the Door of All Heavens and traveled to another world.

Because he was unsure if that Great Lord could find him through some unknown means, he did not return directly to the Wu Clan.

This world was located in the border zone between the Human Race territory and the Demon Race territory, extremely far from the Nine Abyss Sea Realm.

But even at such a great distance, he could still feel a suffocatingly terrifying energy coming from the direction of the Nine Abyss Sea Realm.

It was like an invisible ripple that instantly swept across the entire Myriad Realms Sea.

Immediately after, there was also the Zhu Long’s angry roar, like a giant roar from the Primordial Era, crossing the long river of time and echoing through every space-time in the Myriad Realms.

“She must have fallen already…”

Wu Ning sighed softly.

He had just ascended to Dominator, and he hadn't expected to encounter a death calamity so soon.

Or rather, her fate was already sealed.

At this moment, Wu Ning gained a deeper understanding of the cruelty and truth of the Myriad Realms.

The entire Myriad Realms Major Thousand Worlds was like a giant hunting ground, or an orchard.

The various Major Thousand Worlds were the fruit trees, and the powerful beings born within them were the fruits on the trees.

Different races were different flavors of fruit.

According to their cultivation Realm, their degree of ripeness also varied.

Those ancient Giants who had touched the Dominator threshold were all fruits that were about to ripen.

And that small handful of supreme powerful beings standing at the Peak of the Myriad Realms were the orchard owners.

The Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor was one of them. He saw that there was a fruit in his orchard that was about to ripen, but after waiting and waiting, it never truly ripened, so he found a way to ripen it prematurely.

And by the way, he would fertilize it to make the fruit grow fuller.

Now that the fruit was ripe, it was time for him to harvest.

However, this fruit might not be so delicious.

A dark glint flashed in Wu Ning’s eyes. The time of achieving Dominator was also the time when the fruit ripened, no wonder so many ancient existences in the Myriad Realms dared not Ascend.

However, in the Myriad Realms, who knows how many supreme powerful beings are secretly plotting, and how some fruits can ultimately escape the fate of being eaten…

Once the orchard owner loses patience, they will probably end up like the Merfolk Ancestor.

Swish!

Wu Ning flipped his hand and took out the bronze box Mi Sheng had given him, finding that all the Restrictions on it had become dim, their power having weakened by more than half.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to open the box. His intuition told him that this box was very important.

Releasing a trace of Dao power, the Restrictions on it shattered one by one, and the box was easily opened.

Upon seeing what was inside, Wu Ning’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Inside was actually a sandcastle!

It was the sandcastle that children built with sand by the sea in his past life’s memories.

Ordinary sand, with no special qualities.

There was a very faint power maintaining it, emanating an extremely ancient and vicissitudes of life Qi. From the looks of it, it had existed for an unknown amount of time.

If not for that power maintaining it, it would have probably been completely eroded by the long years.

The sandcastle was about three feet high.

The space inside the bronze box had been expanded, just enough to contain the sandcastle, with nothing else inside.

Wu Ning extended a finger and gently touched a corner of the sandcastle, an unspeakable tremor rising in his heart.

Suddenly, a stream of light flashed across the sandcastle, and a memory appeared in his mind.

…

The sky was vast, the sea wide, and waves crashed.

A handsome young boy with clear features was shirtless, practicing a set of fist techniques, using the impact of the waves on his body.

The waves kept knocking him down, but he kept getting up, continuing to practice his fist techniques, his skin quickly turning a flushed red.

“Who’s there?”

The young boy suddenly noticed a gaze peeking, and he shouted, immediately rushing towards the nearby reef.

“Ah…”

Accompanied by a gasp, a small figure splashed into the water.

It was a little girl who looked about ten years old, with long ink-black hair, a breathtakingly beautiful appearance, and a pair of azure blue eyes.

Most importantly, her lower body was not human legs, but a beautiful fish tail carved like ivory white jade.

“Mermaid?”

The young boy’s eyes widened in a daze.

The little mermaid girl curled her body in the water, only her head peeking above the surface, her azure blue eyes looking at him timidly, “Don’t hit me, I… I didn’t mean to peek…”

The young boy snapped back to his senses, curiously sizing her up, and a kind smile immediately appeared on his face as he slowly walked towards her.

“Little sister, don’t be afraid, Big Brother is not a bad person.”

The little mermaid girl said nothing, only looking at him fearfully, retreating backward.

“Sigh, where’s the trust between people? I already said I’m not a bad person, what are you afraid of.”

Seeing this, the young boy helplessly stopped, “Little sister, my name is Yun Mo, what’s your name?”
