Chapter 1938: Chapter 1931: Has Someone Forgotten My Legend?
Time seemed to freeze, and the entire Starry Sky appeared as if only Zhang Menglong and the bald man were left, with everyone else rendered immobile like statues.
Zhang Menglong’s face bore an expression of disdain for all life forms, and though his presence was noble and majestic, it exerted almost no pressure on others. His finger pointed at the bald man’s brow, as if a mere flick could instantly snatch away his life.
But for the bald man, it felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, while Zhang Menglong’s aura was like countless sharp swords piercing him; just a thought and these swords could tear through his body, and his body told him that all resistance was futile.
"Damn... is he really this fierce?"
"I thought the Clan Leader was just bragging, but perhaps my perspective was too small."
"Why isn’t the bald man moving at all? Has he been scared stiff by our clan leader’s aura?"
"My god, with such power, why didn’t he just topple that Divine Profound Hall himself instead of bringing us here to suffer?"
"I get it, the Clan Leader must be training us, he’s helping us grow, he really has good intentions!"
Even the disciples of the Sunset Sect, who had almost lived daily with Zhang Menglong for a long time, had never seen this formidable side of him, let alone the other martial artists.
Especially those who had mocked Zhang Menglong not long ago; they each wiped a cold sweat for their behavior at that time. If Zhang Menglong had taken issue with them then, they would have ceased to exist now.
The bald man, who could almost kill all 30 million of them, was unable to move even an inch under Zhang Menglong’s two fingers. What kind of realm was this?
No wonder he hadn’t sought treasures in this part of the Starry Sky with them. Not only did he disdain those things, but he also might have seen through the bald man’s conspiracy long ago!
Suddenly, Zhang Menglong being able to obtain meat and refine items like the Soul Dividing Pill seemed to become increasingly logical.
"Do I still need to tell you why I’m not afraid of you now?" Zhang Menglong said, his tone immensely calm.
"I... please forgive me..." The bald man no longer wished to pursue Zhang Menglong’s origins and identity because he knew he wasn’t worthy. The way he treated those of the Dao Realm was precisely how Zhang Menglong was treating him now.
At this moment, his only thought was to survive, for only by surviving did he have hope.
"Why should I forgive you?" Zhang Menglong asked another fatal question.
The bald man struggled to think of his survival leverage but found he had none!
An Ultimate Life Form wouldn’t be interested in any martial arts techniques he practiced, all the treasures he possessed Zhang Menglong likely already had, he had nothing to entice Zhang Menglong.
"Since there’s nothing, I don’t seem to have a reason to forgive you either!"
Zhang Menglong had no intention of sparing this bald man, nor did he desire to make him a servant. Someone willing to sacrifice all life forms for their own power, his existence, could only bring more unpleasant things to the world.
"There are countless ways to become an Ultimate Life Form, yet you chose the least advisable one. In your next life, don’t do such things again!"
A divine glow shrouded Zhang Menglong, a destructive energy surged from his fingertip, freezing the bald man’s expression in an instant. His body began to disintegrate like burnt paper, and even before this, all signs of life had vanished.
The Starry Sky quickly returned to calm.
Because the bald man had long abandoned his own body, making this body, nurtured by the Endless Land, a dead thing, it didn’t collapse due to his dispersal, leaving this as a purely independent world.
If not influenced by those Phantom Profound Beasts, this could still be considered a Holy Land for martial artists to cultivate!
Zhang Menglong’s power gradually dissipated, returning to its original Divine Cultivation Realm’s aura, but in the eyes of anyone, he was no longer just the original youth at the peak of Divine Cultivation Realm; he was a powerful existence hiding his true strength, surpassing the Dao Realm.
At the spot where the bald man disappeared, a crack slowly emerged, and from that crack, Zhang Menglong sensed a familiar aura, that of the God Race’s world. With the bald man’s death, the one-way seal of this world was opened, allowing anyone to leave and return to the vibrant and colorful world.
"Mr. Gu Xiao, is that the way back?" Bei Xu asked, suppressing his inner excitement.
Zhang Menglong nodded, "Congratulations, you can return anytime."
Cheers erupted from the crowd; though everything started and ended so suddenly, setting aside the process, the outcome seemed quite favorable!
Though the bald man killed many, most were not relatives or close ones; that kind of moth-to-flame behavior was their own choice. So inside, they felt no excess emotion; it was merely a necessary cost of victory.
"Mr. Gu Xiao, you saved our lives today. If you ever need help in the future, just call on us anytime!"
Bei Xu, immensely respectful, said to Zhang Menglong, fully aware that if Zhang Menglong couldn’t handle something, neither could he. This was an offer to handle tasks Zhang Menglong was disinclined to attend to, commonly known as being a lackey.
"Mr. Gu Xiao, the same goes for us. Anytime you need our strength, anywhere, we’ll fulfill the mission!"
...
Everyone pledged similar remarks to Zhang Menglong as if taking an oath, then immediately left the Endless Land.
Of course, many still had ties in the Endless Land and needed to take this news back. With the bald man’s fall, the barrier preventing their departure had vanished, allowing them to bring this news to the entire Endless Land.
The people of Sunset Sect admired Zhang Menglong; indeed, this man could do things no one else could, and now, they could leave the Endless Land anytime as well.
Having already reached the peak of the Divine Cultivation Realm and practiced the third secret technique of the Nine Nether Sunset Art, they truly now had power comparable to the former Lei Poguan.
There was only one Lei Poguan back then, but now, they had over 8000!
"Are you ready?" Zhang Menglong smiled at them.
"We’re ready!" The entire ensemble of villains bore smiles filled with anticipation for revenge.
"We’ve stayed here for a few years now; some people might have forgotten our legend, right?" Zhang Menglong mused aloud, "It’s time for them to recall the fear dominated by our Funeral Love Family!"
