Chapter 349: Skyshattering Golden Core Strike!
Chapter 349: Skyshattering Golden Core Strike!
The Underworld—a nameless, formless realm.
Majestic halls floated in the void, their doors spewing an endless river of souls. Ang Xiao stood before the temple, his shadow flickering in the dim light.
"Heh", he suddenly chuckled.
A shimmering aura radiated from his body, seeping into the soul stream, brushing gently against each passing soul.
Nothing happened.
The lack of reaction furrowed his brow, though his expression quickly smoothed. "Master Fortune, why hide from me?"
He'd felt eyes watching him—obviously Fortune. Only True Monarchs could retain their senses here. Who else could it be?
Ang Xiao gazed at the endless souls, his fingers twitching before dropping to his sides. He dared not touch the stream directly. Tampering with the Underworld's foundational order carried consequences he couldn't afford—not yet, not as an heir rather than its ruler.
"A lesson learned the hard way", he sighed. "I erased your memories of this place back then, but time has a way of healing old wounds."
A voice thick with hatred finally cut through the silence.
"Ang Xiao!"
Golden light flared in the soul stream, revealing a vivid, wrathful figure. "You despicable wretch!"
The memories had returned. And with them, rage. How bitter had his demise been?
"You dare station yourself at the Underworld's very threshold!"
This meant every soul—True Monarch included—passed through Ang Xiao's gaze before reincarnation.
"Five thousand years ago, you ambushed me during my rebirth!"
Back then, the Underworld's power hadn't been this overwhelming. Ang Xiao had risked severe injuries to strike down an unsuspecting Fortune mid-reincarnation, severing his memories in the process.
"If not for the Underworld's protection forcing you to spare my soul, I'd have perished completely!"
"Monster!"
Ang Xiao merely smiled. Fortune's guard was up now—unlike last time. The Underworld had grown stronger too. Add the coming Millennium Cataclysm and his own exposed position, and repeating the past was impossible.
"Enough."
He withdrew his aura, closing his eyes. Something still felt... off.
"Fortune should've masked his presence completely. For me to notice his gaze at all..." His eyes snapped open. "Wait! That wasn't Fortune's gaze! Someone else was watching me!"
The soul stream was infinite—impossible to trace the culprit now. But why had this mysterious cultivator entered the Underworld?
Dark clouds gathered in Ang Xiao's mind. "Cursed by Chongguang and the No Heaven Realm, I'm trapped here. Sixty years... so many variables."
For the first time, he admitted: "The world's fate slips from my grasp."
"Damned that scared me!" Lv Yang's split soul whispered, hidden within the stream. "That Ang Xiao creep is too dangerous! How many tricks does he have left?"
He nearly severed his Golden String Puppet connection in anxiety. But fortune had smiled—his puppet locked onto a golden-lit soul.
"Fortune!"
Without Ang Xiao's interference, he might've missed the reincarnating True Monarch. Lv Yang's gaze burned as his soul crept closer. Even a newborn Golden Core Sovereign's karmic veil would be thin.
A grand gate rumbled open. Fortune's soul drifted upward—and vanished inside. Lv Yang followed, slipping through before the portal sealed.
Northern Borderlands – Flame City, Yan Clan Estate.
A newborn's cry pierced the air. Fortune's eyes snapped open, his Golden Core Sovereign soul brimming with thoughts.
"Ang Xiao... this isn't over!"
Though reborn, his resolve hardened: "This life holds advantages yet!"
Chongguang's disappearance meant no True Monarchs could interfere with his Gold Seeking. Even the Lampfire of Restoration's retreat had solutions—"A massacre, perhaps. Destroy a World Wonder for spiritual nourishment."
He'd restore Foundation Building cultivation first—mere hours away.
Suddenly, an eerie presence prickled his senses. He turned—another infant lay beside him. His twin?
The baby's gaze chilled him.
"Uh-oh. Did some prick reincarnate as my brother?"
The infant's innocent face twisted into a perverse grin.
"Ahaha~"
Lv Yang's Dharma Body shattered the void, snatching Fortune's newborn body.
"My greatest catch yet!"
"At Foundation Building Mid-Stage, I'll shatter the heavens with my Golden Core Strike!"
A feat never before achieved!
Fortune: "??"
Lv Yang's soul extraction sent him screaming into the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll. The artifact lunged like a wolf on fresh meat—
Instant annihilation!
