Chapter 1399: A Shocking Battle (10) (Finale)
January 31st, 2018
Beyond the World, in the Demon City of Xian Yang, outside the Afang Palace.
Xu Fu and the sneaky old men were initially enjoying their battle, well, mainly the old men were enjoying themselves. After the old men joined, Xu Fu was basically being overwhelmed.
But that wasn't the main focus. The crucial point was that as they fought with enthusiasm, a terrifying aura burst forth.
Immediately after, a figure enveloped in yellow light was flung out from within the Afang Palace.
Seeing the figure, the few who were fighting with fervor were stunned.
"What's going on?"
Xu Fu, upon seeing Lu Hai Kong being sent out, thought that Qin Mu's side had succeeded and smiled.
However, his smile didn't last long. Soon, he couldn't maintain it, for right after, the Afang Palace collapsed, and a black divine dragon, bound by chains all over its body, pounced forward.
At this sight, everyone present turned pale.
"Hey, kid, what did you do?" It must be said that the sneaky old man knew Lu Hai Kong very well, and at a glance, he realized that this was undoubtedly related to Lu Hai Kong. But even as he questioned, there was a hint of relief in his tone.
Lu Hai Kong's face stiffened, and he quickly denied it, "I was thinking of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's contributions to our Huaxia and wanted to persuade him to become a better person, but I never expected him to be so stubborn and unyielding. Alas..."
Qin Shi Huang, buried under the rubble, almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this!
The sneaky old man, of course, knew that Lu Hai Kong was telling the truth at this moment, but now was not the time to argue. They didn't have the luxury to dwell on it.
The black dragon, after bursting out from beneath the Afang Palace, finally took action. However, it didn't seem to be targeting Lu Hai Kong or his group. In fact, it didn't seem to consider them a threat at all. Its sole focus was to break free from its restraints.
It roared towards the sky, unleashing a ferocious dragon's cry. An invisible wave of energy surged upwards, and in the blink of an eye, the thick dark cloud layer above Xian Yang Demon City was torn apart.
As the clouds dispersed, a massive whirlpool appeared, drawing in all the surrounding demonic energy.
"Kid, what are you staring at? Go and stop him!" The sneaky old man couldn't help but jump and shout upon seeing this.
Lu Hai Kong was dumbfounded, "Me? I can't beat that guy!"
"Who else can if not you? How do you know you can't beat him? Don't forget you have the Niren Ding. That thing is meant to counter him!" Just as the sneaky old man finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in Lu Hai Kong's ear.
[Ding! The World-Ending Black Dragon has appeared, triggering a mandatory mission: Slay the Dragon!
Slay the Dragon
Mission Type: Final Mission
Mission Description: The culprit behind the foreign invasion into the extra-dimensional world has appeared. For the sake of world peace, please slay it!
Mission Reward: System's Primary Control Authority]
Upon seeing this mission, Lu Hai Kong was stunned for a moment. After a brief moment of realization, he turned to look at the system, a satisfied smile forming on his lips. The thing he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind, something he had already guessed the answer to, "Old man, was it you who brought me to this world?"
The sneaky old man was taken aback by Lu Hai Kong's sudden question and paused for a moment before nodding, "Yes! To be precise, the system used me to summon you here."
Lu Hai Kong, hearing the answer he had anticipated, smiled faintly, "Your real intention in bringing me here was to deal with this black dragon, right? Due to certain system rules, you couldn't directly confront him, nor could you provide significant assistance to the extraordinary individuals in this world. That's why you brought me here, isn't it?"
"Yes!" The sneaky old man nodded.
"I knew it. Everything has been going too smoothly for me these past few decades. I've been able to get whatever I wanted with ease. While others struggled to reach Strength 90, I effortlessly surpassed 100. It seems that from the very beginning, I've been living with cheats enabled."
"It's not that simple. While we did provide you with significant advantages, your success today is also a result of your own hard work." The sneaky old man spoke with rare seriousness.
"You gave me the best talents, allowing my strength to skyrocket effortlessly. You granted me the most powerful Imperial Dominance Aura, and top-tier scholars and generals flocked to my side. Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be pathetic if I hadn't achieved what I have today?" Lu Hai Kong shook his head.
The sneaky old man's eyebrows furrowed, sensing something amiss, "What's wrong? Now that you know the truth, do you think everything was orchestrated by us, and you're just a pawn in our game, so you've become despondent?"
"Not despondent, but I have one more question I need to confirm!"
As Lu Hai Kong spoke, he started walking towards the black dragon that was roaring towards the sky.
The sneaky old man asked, "Are you wondering if the world you're in is truly a game world?"
"I used to care about that question, but not anymore. After living here for over twenty years, with a wife, children, and my own empire, this world is real to me." Lu Hai Kong shook his head and continued walking towards the black dragon.
The sneaky old man furrowed his brows, "I still want to ask, is the loyalty of your civil and military officials to you due to your personal charm, or is it because of our secret manipulations?"
"That's not it either. They are my subjects, and I am their ruler! I've never doubted this!" Lu Hai Kong continued walking forward.
"Then what do you really want to ask?" The sneaky old man gave up.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong's lips curled into an extremely satisfied smile.
"What I want to know is, from now on, will you and the system behave and let me be in charge of this world, this realm?"
As Lu Hai Kong spoke, he paid no heed to the sneaky old man. With his arms spread wide, a phantom of the Niren Ding appeared behind Lu Hai Kong, and an incredibly terrifying aura surged into the sky from his body.
When Lu Hai Kong had spoken earlier, the sneaky old man's face had shown no signs of disturbance. But as Lu Hai Kong unleashed his aura, the old man was left dumbfounded.
The awe-inspiring aura that Lu Hai Kong displayed far exceeded his imagination and was even more impressive than the black dragon, showing no signs of inferiority.
After the overwhelming aura surged forth, Lu Hai Kong turned back and looked at the sneaky old man, "I want to retract one thing I said earlier, regarding the martial arts talent. I once doubted whether my talent in martial arts was a cheat you gave me, or if it was something I was born with."
"At first, I thought it was the former, but later I realized it was innate."
As Lu Hai Kong spoke, a phantom of his own image appeared behind him.
This figure directly shattered the vortex formed by the black dragon.
The black dragon, enraged by this, charged furiously towards Lu Hai Kong, but it was firmly suppressed by the phantom behind him.
At the same time, Lu Hai Kong pointed casually towards the Afang Palace below.
This seemingly effortless gesture, devoid of any hint of force, caused the hidden old Qin to turn pale with fear, enveloped by a strong sense of crisis that made him want to escape.
However, at this moment, he couldn't run. As Lu Hai Kong's finger fell, the old Qin turned into powder, and the dragon qi he had absorbed from dozens of rulers surged out.
In that instant, Lu Hai Kong directly absorbed the dragon qi into himself, causing his aura to skyrocket.
But Lu Hai Kong wasn't done yet. He snapped his fingers, and the Niren Ding behind him vibrated intensely. Simultaneously, the six Yuwang Cauldrons hidden in the extra-dimensional realm began to tremble.
As the six Yuwang Cauldrons shook, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Yue Ying, and Ma Chao, who had been guarding these cauldrons, sprang into action. Each of them projected a Niren Ding phantom and shattered the Yuwang Cauldrons.
As the six Yuwang Cauldrons shattered, six rays of light surged forth, flying towards Lu Hai Kong and instantly being absorbed by the Niren Ding.
In that moment, the Niren Ding shone brightly, and Lu Hai Kong's aura surged once more.
Lu Hai Kong's aura had already been at the level of the black dragon, but now it soared to a level even more terrifying. The ferocious black dragon, which had intended to devour Lu Hai Kong, became completely subdued.
Lu Hai Kong's actions finally came to a halt, and interestingly, throughout the entire process, a purple cloud had been swirling above his head.
Purple lightning crackled furiously, seemingly intent on striking Lu Hai Kong down, but until the very end, it never fell. Only after Lu Hai Kong's ascension did the purple cloud reluctantly depart.
After the purple cloud left, the sneaky old man was also left dumbfounded. It took him a while to react, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"You deceived everyone. I thought your target for this counter-attack against the extra-dimensional realm was Qin Shi Huang. I was even thinking about how to lure out the black dragon for you after you eliminated Qin Shi Huang. I never expected that your target from the beginning was not Qin Shi Huang, but the system itself!"
"If I didn't follow your rhythm and if the black dragon didn't appear, the system would have interfered with my breakthrough. So, I had to take a gamble, and fortunately, I won, gaining the power to counter the system." Lu Hai Kong felt his newfound strength, a smile spreading across his face.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong's smile was more relaxed than ever, for from this day forward, he was free of all shackles.
The sneaky old man watched Lu Hai Kong and could only sigh as he left.
Lu Hai Kong saw him off without attempting to stop him. Firstly, there was no need, as from this day forward, the old man would be just that—a sneaky old man. Secondly, Lu Hai Kong's arrival had been a help to him, and out of gratitude, Lu Hai Kong would not harm him.
However, Xu Fu, who was nearby, was not as fortunate. Although he had wanted to flee from the start, he ultimately couldn't escape. Lu Hai Kong slapped him with the back of his hand, shattering him.
With the departure of the last jester, Lu Hai Kong's counter-attack against the extra-dimensional realm came to a perfect conclusion.
And so, the story that began with a mountain bandit came to its end!
