737: Chapter 186 Wusheng_1 737: Chapter 186 Wusheng_1 The black soul fire danced.
Despite the lack of a physical line of sight, “Zhuang Chenggan” could distinctly feel that his occupied body was under the scrutiny of that deity.
“Dost thou truly believe that thou can change the course of the Calamity?” the Bone Respecting God’s voice was indifferent.
‘Zhuang Chenggan’ knew all too well that He spoke of the Calamity Ga, not the outco.
This “calamity” referred to The Calamity of No Life.
According to his plan back then, after sabotaging the Bone Respecting God’s plan for incarnation and sending His true form back to the Underworld, his glorious life had only just begun.
Free of the shackles that had long pressed upon his body and mind, he could truly engage in his grand designs.
His goal was not rely to secure an ordinary nation for the Taoist Sect in the Western Territory.
His goal was not rely to combat Han Yin and wage a bloody battle in the Qi Chang Mountain Range for a re three thousand li of territory.
What he wanted was far more than what he had already acquired!
But he had miscalculated one thing, underestimating the might of the Bone Respecting God, the deity of the Underworld who had retained His divine throne over the long years.
The Bone Respecting God, having lost hope of incarnation, erupted with full force, crushing Song Hengjiang’s hopes of reaching Dongzhen and even casting a death sentence with The Calamity of No Life!
All grand designs an nothing in the face of death, as epheral as smoke.
Stricken with The Calamity of No Life, his death was imminent; even had he beco a True Man of his ti, there was no possibility of survival.
At that mont, he had to die.
So he could only “die” at that very ti.
For more than a hundred years, he had remained hidden within the Dark Candle because the ordained fate was inescapable.
Back in Green Sheep Town, he had once warned Jiang Wang— “Never underestimate the Bone Respecting God.
Even if there is a montary victory or defeat, always rember that He is a nearly indestructible deity of the Underworld.” (1)
Rather than simply reminding Jiang Wang, he was, in fact, warning himself, constantly reminding himself not to repeat the sa mistake!
He had successfully harnessed the power of the Bone Tao to establish his own realm.
As a disciple of the Bone Tao, he had successfully broken free and thwarted the incarnation of the Bone Respecting God.
He thought he was playing the Bone Respecting God like a pawn.
But the mont the Bone Respecting God truly took action, he was faced with an unavoidable end.
Only then did he truly realize the terror of a deity!
“Yes, I cannot change the conclusion, and neither can you.
After all these years, what difference is there in the outco?
Your plan for incarnation has still failed.
You will forever be trapped in the abyss of the netherworld, never to achieve the status of a present-world deity.
Your periods of dormancy will grow longer and longer, until…
you may finally sleep forever!”
‘Zhuang Chenggan’ spoke coldly as iron: “So what if you are a deity?
Don’t you want to talk about the new disciple of the Bone Tao?
Discuss how he escaped from you.
Did he do it like , or did he do it better?”
He knew the other party was talking about the Calamity Ga, but he insisted on referring to the outco.
He wanted the Bone Respecting God to face the fact that He too could fail and had failed.
He was adept at bringing despair to others, just as he had to Jiang Wang.
Now, he wanted to bring that sa despair to the Bone Respecting God, even though He was a deity!
The soul fire within the eye sockets of the Bone Respecting God burned quietly.
The voice remained indifferent: “Human emotions possess great power, a fact I had overlooked.”
“Why did you attempt to incarnate when the disciple was so weak?
Why were you so eager to accelerate his cultivation with the Bone True Dan?”
‘Zhuang Chenggan’s’ words were sharp as knives, almost determined to provoke emotions in the deity: “What, after learning enough lessons from , you dare not wait for him to beco a True Man?
Or do you now lack the strength to control a True Man?”
As the soul fire burned, Zhuang Chenggan had been pulled into illusions several tis, but he had also broken free every ti, unaffected.
His will, firm as Jiang Wang’s, was unyielding and ironclad, never altered.
He could watch his own son be killed with unwavering resolve, his will so steadfast that it could not possibly be influenced.
A sincere steadfastness is steadfastness, but a cruel steadfastness is also steadfastness.
The Bone Respecting God’s power was not yet sufficient, still adapting to this Demon Grotto.
Zhuang Chenggan, with only the strength of a Flesh Body of the God’s Inner Mansion, had no intentions whatsoever of initiating combat.
But a silent struggle had already unfolded.
In the spirit, in the will, within the profound emptiness of The Calamity of No Life.
“When Song Wanxi died, not a single tear did you shed.
When killing Zhuang Mingqi, that child…
was his na Zhuang Mingqi?
I rely replayed that scene, and he already crumbled.”
The Bone Respecting God’s voice continued, “Compared to you, that child seed more human.”
Perhaps it was as Zhuang Chenggan said, His power was too diminished, the strength to descend across realms insufficient.
He too was attempting to shake Zhuang Chenggan’s heart.
Of course, it was not just that.
Jiang Wang’s flesh body, within The God’s Inner Mansion’s first level.
Through a certain connection ford after performing the technique of Flesh Spirit Resurrection, a lofty and indifferent voice echoed in Jiang Wang’s ear.
“Help slay the rebel, and you pay a great service.
Recite My na, embrace My path.
I shall grant you your complete self, expel the insidious spirit.
I promise you invincibility in this life, immortality everlasting!”
Jiang Wang knew, it was a promise from the Bone Respecting God.
So long as he dedicated his faith, the Bone Respecting God would help him regain dominion over this body, and even ensure his invincibility in this life, eternal life without death.
Perhaps being a deity for so long, the latter promises were rather overblown and abstract, but the re act of reclaiming his body was still quite tempting.
Of course, to dedicate faith naturally ant to help Him from both inside and out, to annihilate Zhuang Chenggan.
“Convert to the Bone path, find life in death!” the voice carried on.
From the depths of obscurity, countless devout voices resonated—”At the bottom of the River of Forgetfulness, in the abyss of the Yellow Springs.
The Respected God returns to the world, the Dark Candle illuminates the mortals!”
Countless “fellow practitioners” were calling for Jiang Wang to join, waiting for Jiang Wang’s response.
But at this mont, Zhuang Chenggan’s true spirit form soared above the Sea of The God’s Inner Mansions, slapping down upon the sun manifested by the Inner Mansion.
The sun brought forth by the entire Inner Mansion shook violently, and the voice in Jiang Wang’s ear was almost imdiately shattered.
Zhuang Chenggan had not underestimated the Bone Respecting God and, keenly aware of the disturbance within, swiftly severed the connection between the Bone Respecting God and Jiang Wang.
The voice of the Bone Respecting God rose and then dissipated; the entire first level of The God’s Inner Mansion trembled incessantly.
The Bone Respecting God and Zhuang Chenggan fought fiercely, while Jiang Wang sat cross-legged amidst it all, silent from beginning to end.
Indifferent to the promises of the Bone Respecting God.
Deaf to the interceptions by Zhuang Chenggan.
It seed that after summoning the Bone Respecting God, all he had left was to wait.
To wait for fate’s decree.
From any perspective, he had exhausted all efforts, left without any ans.
Not even Zhuang Chenggan, with his realm, could think of another choice for him.
In this battle, Jiang Wang had been perfect.
Zhuang Chenggan had to admit, his victory was dependent on overpowering Spirit and Soul Power and realm.
Now, if Jiang Wang wished to break the stalemate, his only choice was devout faith in the Bone Respecting God.
Through faith, the Bone Respecting God could indeed pour strength into him, allowing him to break the seal of the Inner Mansion from within and without.
Thus, Zhuang Chenggan quickly disrupted the connection.
Once Jiang Wang chose to believe, he would imdiately activate a contingency to cut off the faith.
He had eradicated an entire Bone Tao, having enough entanglent to disturb and even desecrate the faith towards the Bone Respecting God.
But Jiang Wang seed utterly despondent, apparently unwilling to partake in the struggle between him and the Bone Respecting God, sitting still in silence.
He was waiting for destiny.
Everyone was waiting for destiny!
