But they still would choose this!
Because they had chosen to follow that figure!
Chief Elder didn't know how Zuo Mo had done this. Personal charisma? Benefits? Favor?
It was a terrifying ability to unite people!
Chief Elder changed expression. He looked at the youth floating in the flames. He didn't know how this youth was able to cause so many people to willingly give up their lives to follow him. Just as he didn't know what gave these people such unity.
But he knew that the strength of this kind of power was so great that it could change many things.
Tian Huan did not have this power. Tian Huan had lost the power they had originally had.
The oaths of his youth, they had scattered in the wind.
Looking at the Tian Huan disciples that were panickedly fleeing, and comparing to these Mo Cloud Sea youths that were furiously burning their lives, a sorrow arose in Chief Elder. Today, he finally knew why Mo Cloud Sea could defeat Tian Huan.
Yes, Tian Huan's failure was fated!
He finally understood. He didn't have any joy left inside.
A sigh echoing in his mind, Chief Elder threw away his stray thoughts. His expression became grave. He decided that he would reconstruct Tian Huan's banner, Tian Huan's soul after this battle. Just like these Mo Cloud Sea youth in front of him, just like those youths who had sworn oaths alongside him!
For Tian Huan! For belief!
Come! King of Mo Cloud Sea!
Chief Elder bowed gravely towards Zuo Mo in the fire.
In a nondescript corner, many eyes looked at everything happening in the sky.
Their expressions were complex.
There was shock, respect, pity, murderousness, and relief.
Every person around him had some expression of respect on their faces. The people in the sky were worthy of their respect.
"I hadn't thought that Mo Cloud Sea was so scary! Those people are mad! Fortunately for us Tian Huan old man has taken this for us. Otherwise, even if we are able to defeat Mo Cloud Sea, Mo Cloud Sea would be very strong before death!"
Lin Qian was silent. This battle had given him a great below.
Not just him, the other Kun Lun disciples around him were also astounded.
"Let's first find Zhong De," someone said.
"Yes, let them burn, while both sides are preoccupied, we will take the opportunity to kill Zhong De. The day that Kun Lun unites the land is not far away!" another disciple agreed.
Everyone nodded. In a battle as intense as this, it was certain both sides would be wounded. Kun Lun would become the only beneficiary. This was also when Zhong De's defenses would be weakest. If they could kill Zhong De using this opportunity, Xi Xuan would descend into chaos.
They had planned this action for a long time. They had used almost all of their power to get here undetected. Their goal was the same as Tian Huan. Assassinate Zhong De! To ensure they could kill with one blow, Lin Qian had come.
If Zhong De died, Xi Xuan would fall into chaos!
Kun Lun would take the chance to replace them.
They hadn't expected the situation to progress better than they had expected. Tian Huan and Mo Cloud Sea were fighting to such great lengths. The astounding unity that Mo Cloud Sea showed made even Kun Lun felt a great pressure.
After this battle, there will be no more Mo Cloud Sea!
These disciples who had their eyes on top of their heads couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Lin Qian nodded. "Everyone scatter, be careful not to attract the attention of these people. When you find Zhong De, immediately sent a message back! Our target is still Zhong De! This is not the time to relax. Everyone, be alert, do not fail now."
Everyone nodded and then disappeared.
Lin Qian did not move. He had come because he knew that Zuo Mo had a large number of experts. Right now, Zuo Mo and Mo Cloud Sea's experts were completely drawn to Tian Huan Chief Elder. Zhong De's defenses would be at their weakest and they did not need him.
His mind was completely drawn into this battle.
No one knew that the Immemorial Shen Sword in his hand was trembling continuously and seemed to resonate with something.
So this was Mo Cloud Sea … …
Zuo Mo's mind was blank, everything around him golden. He seemed to be struggling in a sea of fire.
A long time later, he heard an almost imperceptible murmur.
"I'm the king of Mo Cloud Sea!"
This murmur was too weak, so weak it could hardly be heard. But Zuo Mo heard it. For some reason, he heard it clearly. Yet his mind was not clear.
This voice was so familiar … …
So hot … … so painful … …
Where was this … …
"I'm the king of Mo Cloud Sea!
King of Mo Cloud Sea?
These words seemed to have a certain power. Zuo Mo's scattered thoughts gathered along with the words.
I'm the king of Mo Cloud Sea … …
Zuo Mo could not open his eyes. His eyelids were as heavy as mountains. He felt as though his body was a volcano about to erupt. If he was the least bit careless, he would explode.
"I'm the king of Mo Cloud Sea!"
Having recovered some clarity, Zuo Mo finally found the one who had been sleep-talking was himself.
Ha! He had not failed everyone … …
The emotions that came with the words caused him to feel slightly stronger.
Yes! I'm the king of Mo Cloud Sea!
I need to be clear-headed!
I need to forget!
I need to protect A Gui!
I need to protect everyone!
His mind scattered, Zuo Mo chanted repeated to himself.
His voice was weak but unconsciously grew more and more determined.
Power gathered in small streams, his scattered consciousness slowly gathering.
He used all of his strength to open his eyes. A thread of light entered his vision!
He smiled, smiled like a burning flame.
Come! Old Man!

Chapter 841: Destruction
Chief Elder did not want to keep waiting. Mo Cloud Sea's strength astounded him. While their reckless burning would lead to their deaths, but they were a great threat to him before their deaths.
Their combined strength when was unable to dismissed.
There were some names among these people that Chief Elder had never heard of before. In truth, before today, he even felt slightly dismissive towards Zuo Mo and Wei Sheng.
But now, all of that underestimation had faded. Everyone person in front of him was an opponent worthy of respect.
To die for their beliefs, they died in their appointed place.
Chief Elder lamented as his presence rose. The black clouds gathered again, thunder roaring as the ground suddenly split open. The great fissures appeared each was like a terrifying wound that split the earth, growing larger and larger.
The earth moved, the mountains shook, the sky changed color!
All of the Central Plains was in his grasp. Every stalk of grass, every tree, mountain rock, they were all weapons in his hands.
The long hair of the chief elder danced in the wind, countless bolts of lightning swimming around his body. His emaciated body was that of a god. A suffocatingly powerful presence was like a surging tide that battered at everything. The world trembled!
"Everything will end!"
Chief Elder murmured lightly as though he was sighing. He had decided to completely destroy this jie!
After today, there would be no more Central Plains!
The cracks on the ground grew bigger, the red lava erupted like the blood of the earth.
Boom boom boom!
Thick lightning flashed across the sky and then shot dow
n to the ground. When they landed among the boiling lava, they lit up a sea of fire.
The scene was like the apocalypse. All the people in the Central Plains were in a panic. Terror quickly spread through the crowds, hopelessness appearing on their faces. The sky was dyed by the glow of lava. The unstoppable lightning destroyed all life.
All of the transportation formations had become ineffective. There was a great power that cut off the entire jie from the outside world.
Chief Elder looked expressionlessly at everything happening.
He had ignited the core of the jie. In ten hours, Central Plains would be completely destroyed, and all of the people in this jie would be destroyed as well.
Time to go!
As he stepped into god-level, he was able to survive in the endless void. He used shen glyphs to seal the Central Plain and ignite the center of the Central Plains. The enemy had to reach the god-level in order to break through. Otherwise, they would definitely be unable to escape this jie. There was only one fate, to die with the Central Plains.
He was not the one to create this move. In the ancient era, sealing a jie that had enemies was something frequently used against enemies that did not have a god-level expert. This move also had something else great about it. Even if the other could break through the restraints, they would be consumed by the endless void.
Those not in god-level could not survive in the endless void.
Even if these people burned themselves, they could not reach god-level.
Chief Elder was skilled in formations. He had left an imprint in Tian Huan. If he could flee into the endless void, he could quickly return to Tian Huan by homing in on the imprint.
He did not search for the disciples that came with him. He was completely disappointed with those disciples. If they could be like the youths of Mo Cloud Sea, he would have some hope.
As long as he was alive, five thousand years was enough for him to rebuild Tian Huan's soul.
Ten thousand years ago, that world that had been erased by the strongest would rise again from his hands. He didn't know what people in the future would write about him. However, so what? As long as he was present, Tian Huan would grow stronger. History was forever written by the victors.
History was in his hands!
"Old man, you think you can flee?"
A voice that was gritted through teeth interrupted his thoughts.
Chief Elder raised his head and what entered his eyes was a pair of eyes on fire. In the two balls of fire, what he saw was resistance and rebelliousness!
Chief Elder frowned slightly. Zuo Mo's gaze was unusually penetrating.
Zuo Mo bore the bone-aching pain. The essence of the sun crystal seed rampaged through his body. The essence of the sun that was overwhelmingly abundant was the power of the sun. Even if it was just a sun crystal seed, the power contained in it was not something that Zuo Mo could endure.
Even no one in the Sun Tribe dared to use it like this.
The god-level warrior of the Sun Tribe searched for an sun's embryo in the void, and sealed it into a sun crystal seed. The sun crystal seed was thought of as the relic of the Sun Tribe and passed down through generations. Dozens of successors drew power from it.
No one had never dared to break the sun crystal seed.
Zuo Mo felt as though he was a ball of fire. Every inch of skin was burning.
Fortunately, the great pain made him focus. It made him able to focus more on Chief Elder. The golden flames that erupted out of his body and twisted the chief elder in his view to become twisted. However, in his unprecedented focus, he could clearly lock onto the other!
Want to leave?
Zuo Mo bared his teeth, whether in pain or disdain. His figure disappeared into the air.
A cold light flashed through Chief Elder's eyes. A shen glyph appeared without warning on his side.
Boom!
A blurry ball of fame viciously hit the shen glyph.
The shen glyph crumbled with an explosion.
Chief Elder's eye twitched. Then a ball of golden flame hit his waist!
Chief Elder's figure disappeared in ripples.
Zuo Mo's fist hit empty air!
Chief Elder's figure appeared in the sky above and behind Zuo Mo. He pointed at Zuo Mo.
Boom boom boom!
Lightning flashed through the clouds and struck towards Zuo Mo.
Dozens of bolts of lightning gathered together and formed a thick and terrifying bolt of lightning that accurately hit Zuo Mo.
The golden flames around Zuo Mo sprayed out.
Zuo Mo did not seem to feel it, and leapt forward again.
At this time, Zuo Mo was completely in a berserk fury. His consciousness was burned blurry by the sun essence. He seemed to be struggling and floating in an endless sea of fire. There was only one thought in his dazed mind.
Kill the old man!
Kill the damned old man!
Zuo Mo's eyes burned, the golden flames spitting. He suddenly turned around, his face enveloped in flames without any emotion. His right hand swung a great golden axe, his body bowing as he threw!
Within the flames, a sun shen axe suddenly shot out.
Chief Elder felt a thread of fear. His eyes narrowed. He didn't seem to move, a shen glyph appeared in front of him, and perfectly blocked the shen axe.
Woosh!
The sun shen axe suddenly turned into many shen axes in the air. They covered the sky and the sun, tens of thousands of them!
Each sun shen axe burned with golden flames, trailing long tails of golden fight like a spectacular meteor shower!
This move was astounding in its presence yet Chief Elder did not feel any fear. With a cold snort, the shen glyph in front of him furiously spread in all directions.
In a blink, the shen glyph turned into an enormous net over fifty li long.
The sun shen axes landed like rain on the shen glyphs.
The shen glyphs trembled, the tens of thousands of blossoms of flame hanging on it burning intensely.
Zuo Mo saw his attack stopped and howled. An orange sun shen axe appeared in his hand and was thrown hard!
Woosh!
The orange sun shen axe was unusually detailed, covered in packed sun glyphs. A thread of golden fire hissed on the blade of the axe.
Such a detailed and well formed sun shen axe was definitely the strongest axe Zuo Mo had ever had created.
It was like burning piece of metal and immediately penetrated the shen glyph net.
Chief Edler's face changed slightly. He reached towards the sun shen axe flying towards him. A shen glyph took form immediately. Then, the shen glyph split in the middle to form a black crack that quickly grew larger.
It was like a black mouth that swallowed the sun shen axe.
The endless void!
Compared to the Void Sky Li Fire that had been summoned of the endless void before, Chief Elder's moves were multiple times stronger. He was masterfully using the endless void.
Chief Elder felt slightly relieved. The power inside Zuo Mo was strong, but he clearly did not know how to use it. He could not truly express the power.
Yet at this time, a vicious and sharp sword hum suddenly rose from behind the chief elder.
Chief Elder's expression became grave!
Blood quickly permeated into Wei Sheng's body like water sucked into sand. Wei Sheng's eyes were closed, his determined face an unusual white. Even unconscious, his body was ruler straight.
There was an ancient character carved out of blood on each of his hands. Left hand "god," right hand "killing", it was the words "God-Killing"!
Unusually, there wasn't any hint of blood on the sword in his hand. It was clean as though it had just been wiped down.
There wasn't any tang of blood.
The unconscious body of Wei Sheng suddenly shuddered.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The eyes which had been like bloody glass now were without any blood. They were clear and transparent,
except that the pupils had turned into the shape of the sword.
His eyes were two swords!
He floated in the air, the lava below his feet that had been shooting into the air seemed to be pushed down by an invisible hand.
The sword in his hand hummed lightly.
A vicious and bloodthirsty hum of the sword sounded through the entire jie!
The primitive and ancient presence contained a thick bloody tang that rushed into the surroundings like a flood.
In the air, Wei Sheng's cold gaze landed on Chief Elder, the sword in his hand flashing with an eerie light. A cruel and cold smile floated at the corner of Wei Sheng's mouth.
"The scent of a god … …"
The tone was filled with viciousness as though it was a completely different person. Before the sound ended, his body disappeared from the air.
In the next moment, he appeared in space.
The sky behind him seemed to be dyed red by blood. The sword shook, and sword essence fell down like a blood-colored waterfall!
Sword essence that had to be counted in the thousands completely shrouded Chief Elder!
Chief Elder felt his body tighten. His entire body was surrounded by a slight piercing pain. He felt a shudder. Thousands of tiny sword essence didn't run astray at all!
All of the sword essences were targeted at him!
Such a powerful strike!
The right hand of Lin Qian who was hiding in the shadows trembled around its grip on his sword as a cold light flashed through his eyes.
Translator Ramblings: Happy New Years.
Chapter 842: Great Trouble
Wei Sheng's strike was the blood-colored sword essence flowing like a great river, like a waterfall ten thousand zhang tall as it locked onto Chief Elder.
The thick tang of blood caused Chief Elder to unconsciously frown. His gaze locked onto the spotless sword in Wei Sheng's hand, his expression grave.
That … … was not ordinary!
It probably was just a step behind Kun Lun's Immemorial.
Chief Elder was slightly shocked. It was already shocking that Kun Lun had found the Immemorial Shen Sword, but he knew the price Kun Lun had paid for Lin Qian's Immemorial Shen Sword. The essence of Wei Sheng's sword was not as pure as the Immemorial Shen Sword but its murderousness was so great he didn't know how much blood it had drank to form.
