Chapter 1399: A World-Shaking Battle (10) (Grand Finale)
In the Outer Realm, at the Xianyang Demon City, outside the Afang Palace.
Originally, Xu Fu and the Wrinkled Old Men were fighting joyfully. Well, to be precise, the Wrinkled Old Men were enjoying it, while Xu Fu was mostly being overwhelmed after they joined the fray.
However, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that while they were fighting enthusiastically, a terrifying aura erupted.
Immediately after, a figure enveloped in yellow light was flung out of the Afang Palace.
Seeing that figure, the few who were engrossed in the battle were momentarily stunned.
"What's going on?"
As for Xu Fu, seeing Lu Hai kong being dispatched, he initially thought that Old Qin had succeeded, and a smile appeared on his face.
However, his smile didn't last long. Soon, he couldn't keep smiling because the Afang Palace collapsed, and a black divine dragon, bound by iron chains, surged forward.
Seeing this, everyone present turned pale.
"Hey, kid, what did you do?" The Wrinkled Old Man clearly knew Lu Hai kong very well and immediately recognized that this was definitely related to him. However, while he was questioning, there was a hint of relief in his tone.
Lu Hai kong's face stiffened, and he quickly denied it: "I considered Emperor Qin Shi Huang's contributions to our nation and wanted to persuade him to turn over a new leaf, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. Sigh..."
At that moment, the Qin Shi Huang buried under the rubble almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this!
The Wrinkled Old Man naturally knew that every word Lu Hai kong said was a lie, but this wasn't the time to argue. They had no time to waste.
The black dragon, after emerging from the Afang Palace, finally took action. However, it didn't immediately attack Lu Hai kong and the others, or rather, it didn't even consider them a threat. Its only goal was to break free from its bindings.
It raised its head and let out a long roar, a fierce dragon cry echoing, and an invisible wave surged upward, instantly shattering the thick layer of black clouds above the Xianyang Demon City.
As the clouds were shattered, a massive Whirlpool appeared, and all the nearby demonic energy was sucked in.
"Kid, what are you waiting for? Go up and stop him!" The Wrinkled Old Man immediately jumped and shouted.
Lu Hai kong was dumbfounded: "Me? I can't beat that thing!"
"Who else will go if not you? And how do you know you can't beat him? Don't forget you have the Emperor's Cauldron, which is meant to counter him!" Almost simultaneously, a system prompt sounded in Lu Hai kong's ear.
[Ding, World-Ending Black Dragon has appeared, triggering a mandatory task: Slay the Dragon!
Slay the Dragon
Task Type: Final Task
Task Description: The culprit behind the chaos in the Outer Realm has appeared. To protect world peace, you must slay him!
Task Reward: Level One System Control]
When this task appeared, Lu Hai kong was stunned for a moment, then he finally reacted. After staring at the system for a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. The thing he had been waiting for finally emerged.
At that moment, Lu Hai kong finally asked the question he had been pondering, already knowing the answer: "Old man, did you orchestrate my arrival in this world?"
The Wrinkled Old Man, not expecting this question, was stunned for a moment before finally nodding: "Yes! To be precise, the system used me to summon you here."
Hearing the answer he had anticipated, Lu Hai kong's lips curved slightly: "You brought me here to deal with this black dragon, right? Due to some system rules, you can't directly intervene, nor can you provide significant help to the extraordinary beings in this world, so you brought me here, correct?"
"Yes!" The Wrinkled Old Man nodded.
"I thought so. My life over these past few decades has been too smooth, almost getting whatever I wanted. While others struggle to reach a Strength 90, I easily surpassed 100. It turns out I've had a cheat code from the beginning."
"You can't say that. While we did provide you with significant assistance, you've also put in your own effort to get where you are today", the Wrinkled Old Man said, unusually serious.
"You gave me the best talents, allowing my Strength Value to skyrocket effortlessly. You bestowed me with the most powerful aura of kingship, and top-notch ministers and generals came to serve me at a moment's notice. In such a situation, if I couldn't achieve what I have, wouldn't that make me a failure?" Lu Hai kong shook his head.
The Wrinkled Old Man frowned, sensing something was off: "So, now that you know the truth, you think everything was arranged by us, and you were just a pawn, so you're feeling dejected?"
"Not dejected, but I have one question I need to confirm!"
As he spoke, Lu Hai kong began walking toward the black dragon, which was roaring to the sky.
Wrinkled Old Man: "Do you want to ask if the world you're in is really just a game world?"
"That question mattered to me before, but it doesn't anymore. Having lived here for over twenty years, with a wife, children, and my own kingdom, this is a real world to me." Lu Hai kong shook his head and continued toward the black dragon.
The Wrinkled Old Man frowned: "I still want to ask, is the loyalty of your civil and military officials due to your charisma, or because we have been manipulating things in the dark?"
"That's not it. They are my subjects, and I am their king! I have never doubted this!" Lu Hai kong continued walking forward.
"Then what do you really want to ask?" The Wrinkled Old Man gave up.
At this moment, a broad smile appeared on Lu Hai kong’s lips.
"What I want to ask is, from now on, will you and the system just stay out of the way and let me rule this world and this land?"
As Lu Hai kong spoke, he completely ignored the Wrinkled Old Man, spreading his arms wide. The shadow of the Emperor's Cauldron appeared behind him, and a terrifying aura surged from his body, piercing the sky.
When Lu Hai kong spoke earlier, his wrinkled face showed no significant change. But when his aura was unleashed, the Wrinkled Old Man was completely stunned.
Because the awe-inspiring aura that Lu Hai kong displayed far exceeded his expectations, even surpassing the black dragon.
After that overwhelming aura surged forth, Lu Hai kong turned to look at the Wrinkled Old Man again: "I want to take back one part of what I just said, regarding Martial Arts Talent. I once doubted whether my talent in martial arts was given to me by you or was something I was born with."
"At first, I thought it was the former, but later I realized it was the latter."
As Lu Hai kong spoke, a shadow of his own image appeared behind him.
The moment it appeared, it directly shattered the vortex formed by the black dragon.
Enraged by this, the black dragon lunged at Lu Hai kong, but was firmly pinned down by the shadow behind him.
At the same time, Lu Hai kong pointed casually at the ground beneath the Afang Palace.
This seemingly effortless gesture caused Old Qin, who was hiding beneath the Afang Palace, to pale with a strong sense of danger, making him want to flee.
But at that moment, he couldn’t run. As Lu Hai kong’s finger landed, Old Qin was instantly reduced to ashes, and the Dragon Qi he had absorbed from dozens of emperors surged out.
The moment the Dragon Qi appeared, Lu Hai kong absorbed it all, causing his aura to skyrocket.
But Lu Hai kong didn’t stop there. He snapped his fingers, and the Emperor's Cauldron behind him began to resonate. Simultaneously, the six Dai Wang Cauldrons hidden in the Outer Realm also trembled.
As the six Dai Wang Cauldrons trembled, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Moon Shadow, and Ma Chao, who were guarding them, simultaneously sprang into action. Each of them summoned a shadow of the Emperor's Cauldron, shattering the six Dai Wang Cauldrons.
The six Dai Wang Cauldrons shattered, releasing six beams of light that flew directly to Lu Hai kong and were instantly absorbed by the Emperor's Cauldron.
In that instant, the Emperor's Cauldron glowed brightly, and Lu Hai kong’s aura surged once more.
Originally, Lu Hai kong’s aura was on par with the black dragon, but now it soared to a level even more terrifying. The black dragon, which had been viciously trying to devour Lu Hai kong, was now completely subdued.
Only then did Lu Hai kong stop his actions. Interestingly, throughout the entire process, a Purple Cloud could be seen swirling above Lu Hai kong’s head.
Purple Lightning surged wildly, as if trying to strike Lu Hai kong dead, but it never did. Not until Lu Hai kong’s advancement was complete did the Purple Cloud reluctantly leave.
After the Purple Cloud left, the Wrinkled Old Man was thoroughly stunned. He stood there for a long time before he finally reacted, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
"You deceived everyone. I thought your target in this counterattack against the Outer Realm was Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and I was wondering how you would lure the black dragon out after eliminating him. I never imagined that your target from the beginning was the system!"
"If I hadn’t followed your rhythm and if the black dragon hadn’t appeared, if I had chosen to break through, the system would have definitely interfered. So I had to take a gamble, and fortunately, I won, gaining the power to challenge the system." Lu Hai kong felt his newfound strength and smiled.
At this moment, Lu Hai kong’s smile was more relaxed than ever before, because from today onward, he was free from any shackles.
The Wrinkled Old Man looked at Lu Hai kong and could only sigh as he left.
Lu Hai kong watched the old man leave without stopping him. For one, it was unnecessary. From today onward, the old man would just be a Wrinkled Old Man. Additionally, his arrival had been aided by the old man, a favor that Lu Hai kong would not forget.
However, Xu Fu beside him wasn’t so fortunate. Although he knew something was wrong and tried to flee, he didn’t make it. Lu Hai kong turned and slapped him, shattering him instantly.
With the last troublemaker out of the way, Lu Hai kong’s counterattack against the Outer Realm was now complete.
And this story, which began with a bandit, finally came to an end!
