Chapter 1398 – Obtained and Lost
Initially, he had thought that he could rely on this overbearing technique to tear An Zheng apart and kill him, but in the end it had become a battle of attrition that Chen Wunuo felt incomparable pain. The two were no longer competing with individual Cultivation Power s, but with their own artifacts, treasures, and pills.
An Zheng looked like he couldn’t move a muscle, but when Chen Wunuo saw the purple object that looked like an ordinary purple sandalwood bracelet on An Zheng’s wrist, his expression changed. If one were to judge it from its appearance, the bracelet was a good looking purple sandalwood bracelet. The color was very pure and the star star point s on it were very concentrated. If one looked carefully, they would be able to see that the star star point points on those beads were actually moving slowly.
The spirit of the Blood Pearl Bracelet was continuously replenishing An Zheng’s consumption of medicinal energy. Although this kind of replenishment was far from being able to keep up with the rate of consumption, it was a competition to see who would be the one to last longer.
It seemed that An Zheng was the one who was more relaxed now.
Then, at this moment, An Zheng did another thing. He suddenly gave up on using the Cultivation Power to protect his own body. If this were to happen, the tearing force coming from the six black holes would make his body even more painful. With the Cultivation Power that formed the aura around the Reverse Scale Armor that formed the second layer of protection, it could reduce the pain caused by the tearing force. An Zheng gave up. His power was immediately used on the Reverse Scale Armor, just like how the six oxen used to pull a person to pieces.
It clearly looked like he was about to give up resisting, but it actually scared Chen Wunuo so much that his face changed color: “Are you crazy!”
An Zheng’s face twisted in pain, but his eyes did not waver in the slightest.
“We have to give iry.”
His painful voice trembled as he said, “You and I have both brought these items to the open. Let’s see who lets go first.” You can bet on it, and you can bet on it with me. I bet on you, your pills won’t last long enough for you to kill me. Like this, the Cultivation Power that I have accumulated is enough for me to last until the end and still have the strength to kill you. And what you’re betting on, is that I can’t persevere. ”
Chen Wunuo’s expression kept changing. He knew that once this type of gamble was formed, the result would no longer be within his control. He used to be an emperor. What he was good at was keeping everything in his hands. He had always been successful in making his opponent passive. Now, although An Zheng seemed to have accepted it in a passive manner, it had become him.
“Do you dare to bet!”
An Zheng suddenly roared, his voice shook the skies, exuding a domineering fierceness and ruthlessness. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU – UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))
Chen Wunuo clearly trembled for a moment, then suddenly turned and left.
He didn’t dare to gamble.
He chose to give up.
But in order to prevent An Zheng from chasing after him, he did not take back his cultivation technique. The six black holes still remained in midair as they controlled An Zheng, while he was already several hundred kilometers away.
“Madman …”
Chen Wunuo muttered to himself as he walked.
It wasn’t that he had no chance of winning, but it was a small chance. He only realized now that he completely didn’t understand An Zheng. If he knew, he wouldn’t have changed the situation from active to passive. He wouldn’t have turned into running away if he could kill An Zheng.
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the distance. Chen Wunuo turned around and saw a huge explosion at the place he was previously at. The violent turbulence swept through the mountain range and he could imagine that the mountain range would be turned into a desert by the explosion of the aura in an instant.
He had exposed everything about him, but he was unable to kill An Zheng. Therefore, he had to leave and find a safe place to hide as soon as possible. He would hide until many things came to an end before coming out. Otherwise, he would hide until he was strong enough before coming out.
“Almost there. Almost there.”
Chen Wunuo talked to himself as he flew … He wanted to tell himself that he’d had enough for a while. This kind of cultivation method could absorb heaven and earth origin energy, and increase his cultivation realm aapid pace. When this black hole cultivation technique reached a higher level, he would be able to directly break through the restrictions in the sky and absorb power from the heavens. This was the reason why Tan Shanse himself had become an exceptional Ranker back then.
“You should have.”
The voice suddenly appeared behind Chen Wunuo, causing his pores to instantly explode. That was An Zheng’s voice, and the distance between him and An Zheng was not very far. Chen Wunuo didn’t even dare to turn his head. He was afraid that the moment he did, An Zheng’s face would be within reach.
Therefore, he accelerated and charged forward with all his might.
“You have never been a person who has courage. When you were in the Great Xi, if you had courage, you wouldn’t have been forced by the Emperor Zhuo Qingdi to the point where you didn’t dare to leave the Jinling. If you had the courage, you wouldn’t have been afraid to chase after Tan Shanse when you sensed that there waroblem. “If you have the courage, you should be able to take care of Da Xi’s ruined situation.”
An Zheng’s voice, was like a slap on the face, one after another.
“You always seem so confident, but in reality, you are someone that even you yourself suspect. You doubt your own strength, you doubt your own luck, and you don’t dare face anyone you think may bhreat to you. ”
Chen Wunuo roared: “Enough!”
“You were once the Holy Emperor of the Great Xixi. However, you didn’t win that title yourself. You were born to enjoy it arince. If your father wasn’t Daxi Shenghuang, with the endurance that your determination is capable of, you would have achieved nothing. ”
“Enough!”
“Why do you do all these things, is because you suspect, you suspect, that everyone suspects you. Therefore, you can only constantly think of who to eliminate in order to alleviate the fear brought about by this suspicion. Da Xi lasts for thousands of years. You think you’re the best inheritor. Yet, the Da Xi was destroyed by you. “Actually, you are the most useless one in your Chen Clan.”
“Enough!”
Chen Wunuo suddenly stopped, his face pale white.
These words were like a knife slicing through his self-esteem, slicing him into a bloody mess.
He was once a sovereign, a ruler, but now he was mocked and ridiculed. Of course, there was a voice in his heart that kept warning him not to fall for it. However, how could he, who was once an emperor and believed that he was the best one in Da Xi in thousands of years, endure such mockery?
“I don’t have the courage to face many, but I have the courage to kill you.”
Chen Wunuo turned to look behind him, but discovered that there was no one there. There was no An Zheng here, not even a shadow of a person.
The surroundings were completely empty. No one knew where those sounds came from. Or perhaps, that wasn’t An Zheng chasing after him at all, but the inner demon in his heart. That voice was not An Zheng’s, but his. His mind buzzed as if something had drilled into it.
In a trance, he saw his past.
In the huge and beautiful garden of the imperial court, the short Chen Wunuo was squatting in a corner and watching the brothers and sisters conversing naturally and gracefully. He wanted to do that too, but he didn’t dare. He felt as if he couldn’t be brothers and sisters, and he was afraid that they would laugh at him for saying something wrong. He saw his father appear in the distance, and his brothers and sisters ran over laughing, and then received the reward from his father.
And he just squatted there, looking at all of this. His father seemed to have forgotten about him, not even sparing him a glance.
Then he saw the man who had taught them to read and write, staring at him sternly. He had clearly learnt the things that his teacher had arranged, and he already knew how to memorize the entire book. However, when his teacher told him to stand up and recite, he felt his hands and feet go cold. He kept telling himself what he could do, only to let out a stuttering sound with his mouth wide open. Then, he was laughed at by his brothers and sisters.
The scene around him changed again. He saw his mother, the beautiful, gentle woman. My mother held him and stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth and asked him what he wanted to do most. He pondered for a long time before seriously replying that he wanted to become the Holy Emperor of Da Xi. He also wanted to become the strongest person in history and become an emperor throughout the ages. And then his mother laughed. She laughed very happily, and he was also very satisfied and happy. He finally had the courage to speak out his dream. Then he suddenly realized that his mother’s smile was not one of approval or encouragement, but one of a child’s fantasy.
Mother thinks I can’t do it!
Her smile was one of someone who thinks I can’t do it!
Chen Wunuo felt as if his heart was stabbed by a blade.
He was always alone, always isolated. He rarely came into contact with his brothers and sisters. Everyone looked so cheerful and only he looked gloomy. He began to secretly swear to himself that he would surpass everyone else, and he began to desperately study and improve himself. He was originally the most inconspicuous person out of all the contenders for the position of Sacred Emperor. But because he was too inconspicuous, the other contenders didn’t even view him as an opponent and instead treated him as one.
He had almost killed all of his siblings because he was worried that his hard-earned position as the Sacred Emperor would be snatched away by someone else.
These images, these memories, they all appeared in his mind, one after another. He had seen many, many people, many things. He saw his solemn and fearsome father, his gentle mother, and his brothers and sisters. Suddenly, he saw many different things.
When he saw himself falling, his brother, who had once mocked him for being a fool, came over and picked him up, scraping his nose. “Be careful next time, you idiot. I don’t have so much time to take care of you.”
He saw his brother run over and grab his hand, saying, “You go over to the garden and play with everyone,” but he shook his hand off roughly.
He saw that after he had said those words to his mother, she had laughed and shed tears. She had hugged him to her chest and said, “If you dare to think about it, it means that you are a good successor. Mother hopes to see you becomrue, true, eternal emperor. ”
He saw the other side that he did not want to see.
Buzz.
His brain felt as if it had exploded, causing him incomparable pain. Chen Wunuo let out a cry as he fell straight down from the sky.
