Chapter 1983

Hum —

The remains of the Hakone Saint, who was frozen in the void, suddenly turned into specks of light and dissipated. The Hakone Saint, who was still conscious, could only watch as his body disappeared mysteriously. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

The tough skin was decomposed, the sturdy bones were decomposed, and even a drop of blood was decomposed into countless unobservable specks of dust.

The skin that was gifted by heaven and earth, the soul that was nourished by the laws of heaven and earth, was returned to the world in an overbearing manner without the consent of the owner!

"Supreme Nine Magical Powers …"

The Orochi Saint's final consciousness was filled with unwillingness and disbelief. After murmuring, he turned into countless specks of dust and dissipated from the world …

It was as if a meteor shower was raining down from the sky. The Clay Bodhisattva finally caught up with the remains of a body, but it was strangely disintegrated and disappeared in front of its eyes. It was horrified.

Gu Chen, who was standing in the air, was emotionless. He was like a god. His pair of bright golden eyes swept across and looked at the two snake heads that had been disintegrated into countless specks of dust.

There were two heart-shaped gems, one red and one grey, floating there.

Gu Chen waved his hand casually, and a powerful telekinesis wrapped around the two heart-shaped gems.

When the heart-shaped gems were in his hand, he transmitted two emotions — anger and madness. The Orochi Saint had been able to easily disturb the Clay Bodhisattva's mind because he possessed these two powers, allowing him to attack Gu Chen.

Just one of the emotions was enough to make most cultivators fall. When several emotions were stacked together, they could turn into a real heart demon, which was almost always successful.

However, the heart demon was nothing much when it came to the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body, which could suppress the Great Dao Technique. After all, the Orochi Saint had not gathered all five heart-shaped gems, so he could not obtain the full power of the Great Heart Magic Art. The two were not on the same level at all.

The two heart-shaped gems in his hand were different from the Stone of Fear. The Orochi Saint seemed to have been refining them for a long time. Gu Chen sensed the mental energy in the gems, and many of the Orochi Saint's memories appeared in his mind.

"That's a different approach. If you can gather all five heart-shaped gems, another Daoist will be born."

Gu Chen could not help but shake his head as he sensed the Hakone Saint's remnant memories.

The memory was fragmented. It was impossible to find out how the Orochi Saint obtained the heart-shaped stone, but it revealed his thoughts.

The five heart-shaped stones were equivalent to the materialization of a small Daoist technique, and combining the five into one was the Great Heart Magic Art.

If he cultivated normally, he would have to experience the fragments of the Great Dao from the heart-shaped stone. Only when he had mastered all of them would he be able to cultivate the Supreme Heart Demon.

If one used this method to cultivate, the heart-shaped stone would gradually shrink as the cultivation progressed. When it completely disappeared, it would mean that one's emotion had reached completion.

However, the Orochi Saint was extremely daring. He did not choose the normal method. Instead, he wanted to merge his soul into the heart-shaped stone and use it to control the power of emotions.

The greatest advantage of doing this was that it could be achieved quickly. Moreover, after collecting all five heart-shaped stones, one would be able to completely grasp the Big Heart Magic Art in the shortest time possible.

Of course, the disadvantage of doing this was also obvious. One would be more easily affected by the heart demon. Under the subtle influence of emotions, it was normal for one to become bloodthirsty and crazy.

Fortunately, the Orochi Saint had eight heads. These eight heads were equivalent to eight avatars. Their consciousness was independent of each other, so the risk of cultivating was much lower than for others.

There were indeed no mediocre people who could cultivate to the Saint Plane. Gu Chen felt sorry for the Orochi Saint. If he had not met him, the Orochi Saint's future would be unimaginable. The Clay Bodhisattva would never be able to take revenge.

The remnant memories were fragmented and disorderly. With the death of the Orochi Saint, these memories would quickly disappear. Only a portion that involved emotions would merge into the heart-shaped stone and become a part of it.

Gu Chen searched quickly. The emotional power of the heart-shaped stone was extraordinary. He was now relying on the super strong telekinesis left behind by the Exile of the Original Realm to search for what he wanted.

He had thought that the Orochi Saint had some shady relationship with the Qiankun Group. However, after some probing, he realized that things did not seem to be what he had imagined.

However, the transactions between the Orochi Sacred Ground and the Moon Nation were real, so there must be something fishy going on.

Gu Chen was not sure if there was anything related to this in his remnant memories, but he could only try his luck!

Gu Chen searched through the Orochi Saint's memories. Meanwhile, the Clay Bodhisattva looked at the ruins after a great battle and felt like it was a lifetime ago.

Now, he finally knew how Gu Chen had defeated the old crow in the Scorching Sun Clan's ancestral land. He also understood why Gu Chen was so cautious in everything he did.

The Tyrants were a race with a long history. Even though they were extremely far away from him, he had heard some things about them.

It could be said that the existence of this race was very sensitive. They were involved in some of the top games in this world. It was a taboo that he had no right to touch.

However, so what?

The Clay Bodhisattva remembered the scene of Gu Chen stepping forward to protect him. Even the Clay Bodhisattva had given up on him, but Gu Chen had not!

"Listen up. As a subordinate of me, Gu Chen, only I have the right to take your life."

The Clay Bodhisattva laughed involuntarily and looked at the ruins of the Fear Fortress.

The Fear Fortress Lord was dead, the Orochi Saint was dead, and his past self was also dead. It was time for him to be reborn.

At this moment, he let go of the obsession in his heart and had the thought of sacrificing himself for someone!

At this moment, he had truly walked out of the Great Desolate Swamp and climbed out of the quagmire!

Gu Chen was completely unaware of the Clay Bodhisattva's change of mind. Before the Orochi Saint's memories disappeared completely, he finally found a few scenes.

Those scenes were not in the real world. Instead, they were in a huge Divine Travel Market!

The reason why the Orochi Saint had business dealings with the Moon Nation was that he had met someone in the Divine Travel Market.

The Divine Travel Market in his memories belonged to the Dark World. Although he could not see the specific appearance of the person he had met, he was sure that it was Mourning Yan!

Because the agreement was made in the Divine Travel World, the Orochi Saint had no idea that the person he had made the deal with belonged to the Heaven and Earth Association. His main focus was on finding the whereabouts of the remaining heart-shaped stones, so he was not very interested in what the Moon Nation was transporting.

The Heaven and Earth Association had given him enough money, and the Dark World had its own rules. Therefore, the Orochi Saint did not bother to investigate the secrets of the Divine Travel Market, so he could provide very little information to Gu Chen.

However, the Divine Travel World that he had entered, the black market that Mourning Yan had once been active in, might contain great value!

Apart from the two heart-shaped stones, the Orochi Saint's belongings did not contain anything like a storage ring, let alone a Divine Travel Pearl.

Gu Chen was slightly disappointed. He immediately guessed that the Divine Travel Pearl that had entered the black market was most likely in the Orochi Holy Land!

"Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Orochi Holy Land."

Gu Chen muttered to himself. The power of his Divine Power had been exhausted, and his double pupils had disappeared. What followed was an intense mental fatigue.
