Chapter 697: Chapter 696 Hunting Plan
At this moment, in the ancestral land of the Zhang Family in the Central Region.
Whether ordinary people or the cultivators and elders of the Zhang Family, their eyes were empty, their hearts filled with despair.
Zhang Yuxing’s Life Lamp had gone out.
This signified that Zhang Yuxing had also fallen.
The greatest trump card of their Zhang Family no longer existed, and with the fall of Zhang Yuxing, this battle had also come to an end.
At this time, before the people could react, a gigantic hand descended from the sky, bearing down like Mount Tai, pressing directly towards the Zhang Family.
The hand was flickering with divine runes, filled with a terrifying oppressive force that left everyone in the Zhang Family unable to move.
All they could do was watch helplessly as the hand pressed down.
Boom!
The Central Region shook, as if an earthquake had struck, and the area where the Zhang Family was located turned directly into ashes. All members of the Zhang family were erased in this instant.
Not much longer after, in the Qiankun Dynasty, a sky-supporting giant hand flew over, and the outcome was the same as the Zhang Family, the entire dynasty was annihilated.
Facing this gigantic hand, everyone in the Qiankun Dynasty was in despair, unable to resist.
Even high-level cultivators of the Saint Realm were like infants under this mighty hand.
As the longest-standing dynasty of the Central Region, from today onwards, it ceased to exist.
Looking at the vanished Qiankun Dynasty.
The eyes of the powerhouses from other dynasties dimmed, who could have imagined that this mighty dynasty would now be completely eradicated by someone.
From the esteemed ancestors above to the commoners below, without exception, all disappeared.
"If we encounter Liu Zheng or the Dark Palace in the future, we should avoid them by a good distance. With such a strong protector paving their path, we are truly powerless to do anything."
"The Body of the Overlord has appeared, and the only way to contend is if those old folks from the forbidden lands take action."
"Impossible, these old geezers from the forbidden lands are selfish, and even if the Quasi-Emperors wanted to slay the Body of the Overlord, it wouldn’t be so simple."
"If they were to do so, all the plans they’ve schemed for so many years would be in vain. Do you think, with their personalities, they would do such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, many powerhouses fell into silence.
Indeed, these Quasi-Emperors wouldn’t risk their lives for the sake of the Body of the Overlord.
These Quasi-Emperors have been living so cautiously for so many years, all for one opportunity—how could they possibly sacrifice their own lives to help others?
...
"Hall Master, the matter has been resolved."
Within the Dark Palace, Xiang Batian returned, his whole body emitting a powerful aura that was frightening.
Even though the battle had ended, Xiang Batian still carried a terrifying presence.
"Well done."
Liu Zheng said with approval.
Now, he felt that summoning Xiang Batian was extremely worthwhile.
Without Xiang Batian, dealing with the Zhang Family would have been quite troublesome.
After all, the Zhang Family had deployed a Divine Weapon of an Emperor, and without Xiang Batian, even their combined formation would have had a hard time overwhelming them.
Don’t think that the Divine Weapon of the Emperor was easily shattered by Xiang Batian.
But actually, it wasn’t that the Divine Weapon of the Emperor was too weak, but that Xiang Batian was too strong.
The Divine Weapon of the Emperor contained the will of an emperor, but in the end, it was just a sliver of will.
It was by no means a match for the Body of the Overlord.
Therefore, it was a normal thing for the Divine Weapon of the Emperor to be defeated.
But if the Divine Weapon of the Emperor encountered someone from the Saint Realm, it would not be the same story.
Even an experienced joint attack formation would not be able to withstand it.
And they would also have to face Zhang Yuxing and other Quasi-Emperors. Even if they ultimately won, it would only be a pyrrhic victory.
After all, the joint attack formation could not be sustained for very long.
Hearing Liu Zheng’s praise, the corners of Xiang Batian’s mouth lifted slightly. Then, without saying anything further, he continued standing behind Liu Zheng, like a post.
Liu Zheng’s gaze then shifted to Sword Madman in the distance.
Sword Madman had awoken by now, but because he was sealed, he could only lie on the ground and watch Liu Zheng.
With a dispassionate glance at Sword Madman, Liu Zheng waved his hand, and a Sword Qi directly pierced through Sword Madman’s head.
The familiar voice of the System immediately rang out.
"Congratulations to the host for slaughtering a Son of Destiny, acquiring fifty Destiny Points!"
Actually obtaining fifty Destiny Points.
This somewhat surprised Liu Zheng, as this fellow turned out to have the highest Destiny Point tally he’d encountered.
Sword Madman had this many, it was just unknown how many Wang Zun could have.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Zheng said, "Have Chen Jin and the others keep an eye on Wang Zun’s whereabouts, and inform me at once if there’s any news."
"If there’s an opportunity, capture him, and at the same time, capture all the Sons of Destiny, regardless of their identities."
Having left the Dark Palace earlier was to scout out these Sons of Destiny, and now Liu Zheng could act.
"At your command!"
A ripple shimmered through the void, followed by several presences immediately departing.
After arranging his affairs, Liu Zheng entered into a state of cultivation.
The Spiritual Power boiled within his body like great winds and waves, howling forth.
Crack!
It was as if he had broken through some kind of bottleneck, and Liu Zheng’s aura grew even more powerful.
"Finally reached the ninth level of the Venerable Realm."
Feeling the Spiritual Power inside his body, Liu Zheng whispered.
After some time spent cultivating, Liu Zheng had finally entered the ninth level of the Venerable Realm.
Moreover, it hadn’t taken him much time, just a few months from the Celestial Realm to the Dao Realm.
A few months’ time and his realm had surged astonishingly fast.
"Wang Zun is quite adept at remaining hidden, it’s been so long and he still hasn’t shown himself."
After issuing the plan to hunt down Sons of Destiny, the entire Demon God Temple was capturing them throughout the Dao Realm.
Beyond the Dao Realm, those in outer space were also targets for Liu Zheng.
Several days passed.
The Demon God Temple captured quite a few Sons of Destiny, and after killing them, Liu Zheng gained another two hundred Destiny Points.
Adding to the previous one hundred and absorbing from Tang Yaoyao, his Destiny Points had now reached three hundred and thirty.
With the Demon God Temple’s extensive search efforts, more Sons of Destiny were indeed uncovered.
Many came from outer space.
The Dao Realm was vast, and their location was but one star of the Dao Realm, also considered the center of the entire realm.
It gathered most of the Sons of Destiny of the Dao Realm.
But there were also many beings in outer space, among them some Sons of Destiny.
In this period, three of the Sons of Destiny that Liu Zheng had slaughtered came from outer space.
And now, the one Liu Zheng most wanted to kill was still Wang Zun.
This guy was a Son of Destiny, and Liu Zheng was very curious to find out how many Destiny Points he could get for killing Wang Zun.
It’s just unfortunate that after the last incident, Wang Zun had never shown himself.
He’d always been within the Yuandao Sect.
Furthermore, the powerful members of the Yuandao Sect continued to favor Wang Zun, constantly protecting him.
"Three hundred and thirty Destiny Points, so now it’s time for the mystery prize drawing."
"Let’s see what level of powerhouse or rare item I can draw this time."
Come to think of it, since drawing Xiang Batian, Liu Zheng hadn’t used the System again.
He had been engrossed in cultivation, and his strength made him peerless among the young generation in the Dao Realm.
But Liu Zheng felt that all this was still not enough.
