Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1681 - 453: Destroying Everything, Mad Father and Son

Old Emperor Qian certainly doesn't care.Old Emperor Qian is already caught in his own logical loop.

He's indifferent to other people's lives, and even his own life, for the sake of achieving his goals.

As for the consequences after achieving his goals, he doesn't care either.

He only wants to achieve his purpose, to destroy the ancient god of the deep sea, and then destroy the world, annihilate all gods, so that after this, there will be no more waking up in the morning, with history changed and the world transformed.

Such a person can't be persuaded, can't be fooled.

The only option is to force him to do something about his goal.

Yu Ziqing solemnly asked one last time.

"One last question.

In those days when the Great Sun dominated the sky, countless living beings in the wilderness died of starvation, you didn't care.

To restore the gods, to cause the catastrophe in Dazhen forcing Dazhen to struggle harder, you didn't care.

When Dazhen was desperate and had to move south to seek living space and waged war against Dali Country, you certainly didn't care.

Now, the destruction of the present world, causing all living beings to die miserably, you also don't care.

Just answer me, have you ever thought, even if this dead world falls into the present world and ruins it,

but still can't destroy the ancient god, do you care?"

"I don't care, I will act." Old Emperor Qian replied calmly, still without the slightest hesitation.

Yu Ziqing understood, Old Emperor Qian had gone mad, tortured into madness a long time ago, and as long as there was a chance, he would try.

When a madman, who is also a genius, hasn't had his will shattered but instead becomes increasingly determined, he is destined to walk into darkness.

Even if unsuccessful, an ancient god who hasn't reached its peak and also practices Qi Cultivation and Refining God is certainly stronger than an ancient god without a true body.

And Old Emperor Qian certainly has more tricks up his sleeve to kill the ancient god of the deep sea.

Yu Ziqing looked back, the dead world had already drifted far away.

This indicates that the shielding power of the dead world, when he soared high earlier, might not have dissipated, but now it definitely doesn't exist.

"Do you wish to return to the present world and break through to the Tenth Tier?"

"There's no need now, I've already moved beyond it."

As Old Emperor Qian finished saying this, the Yang-Keeping Devil trapped in his eyes completely lost his mind.

"Mad! Mad! Mad!"

Yu Ziqing also sighed deeply.

"You've gone mad."

"You can't stop me, and the Mountain Lord can't stop me."

As Old Emperor Qian's words fell, an angry roar exploded in the void.

The surging power seemed to shake the entire void, causing ripples to appear across millions of miles of space.

Yu Ziqing glanced back, thinking to himself, this is bad; when Old Emperor Qian said he had moved beyond, the Mountain Lord couldn't hold back any longer.

This means Old Emperor Qian is no longer in the body of Emperor Qian, and all concerns have vanished.

Old Emperor Qian's expression was calm as he shook his body and transformed into an enormous ancient god's true body.

In the void, it seemed as if a Great Sun had risen, so brilliant that only blinding white light could be seen.

As the Mountain Lord struck down, what greeted the eye was an endless blinding white light, carrying a deadly killing intent, converging to form a long river, smashing down.

Old Emperor Qian remained motionless, suspended in the void, withstanding the power of this strike with his ancient god's body.

The surging power sent Yu Ziqing and Yang flying into the distance.

Yu Ziqing groaned, his throat tasted of blood, while Yang transformed into his True Dragon form to protect Yu Ziqing, continuously retreating.

After a long time, the blinding glow slowly dissipated, and Old Emperor Qian's ancient god's true body lay in tatters, with all his flesh seemingly gone, leaving only a skeleton full of mysterious cracks, suspended in the void.

As the cracks on the bones emitted mysterious power, the missing parts rapidly regenerated.

In less than one incense stick's worth of time, Old Emperor Qian's ancient god's true body fully recovered.

He looked far into the distance at the Mountain Lord and made a gesture of gratitude.

"Thank you for your fulfillment, Mountain Lord, for I could truly engrave those mysteries into my bones.

I devoured the residual ancient god's mysteries in the dead world.

Presumably, Mountain Lord is aware of what his mysteries are.

The power of a Qi Refiner, pure power, can no longer kill me.

These have all been ingrained into the Daoist Pattern.

The ancient god was correct; if we're talking purely about power, from ancient times to now, no one can be stronger than you."

After the Mountain Lord delivered the strike, he no longer acted, and there wasn't even any frustration on his face; he flew before Yu Ziqing.

"As I suspected, I can't kill him, at least not at the moment."

"I anticipated this, there's nothing to regret, just wait."

Yu Ziqing took out an enhanced version of the Jade Pillar from his sleeve, sighing quietly, fortunate that he had everything in store.

Fortunately, he learned the basic Sleeve Universe from Yang, a Dharma Method that compresses space rather than constructing a separate space like a Storage Magical Treasure.

Just stored in the sleeve, this Jade Pillar can still be used.

Fortunately, he already understood why Old Emperor Qian said so much to him.

Because Old Emperor Qian never intended to live, he needs someone to help complete the final goal.

Help him transform into a world, then kill this world, destroy the last ancient god of the world entirely, making the word 'ancient god' a piece of history, and slowly erasing all traces of their existence over time.

Indeed, Old Emperor Qian is a madman, but unfortunately, he probably never thought that because of his indifference, his son is also a mad obsessive.

Yu Ziqing couldn't persuade or deceive him, not even draw his sword now.

Thus, to resolve this matter, the only option is not to target Old Emperor Qian himself, but to aim at Old Emperor Qian's goal instead.

Within Daqian Palace City, the new Emperor Qian knelt before a heap of ancestral tablets.

Before him rested a Jade Tablet.

His expression was sincere and solemn, but the madness in his eyes was already beyond control.

He respectfully and diligently performed three kneelings and nine kowtows to the tablets.

Then, his lips involuntarily curled up into an exaggerated grin, and the divine light in his eyes twisted into something bizarre.

"Father, isn't he truly my father, so powerful it's despair-inducing.

As your most filial son, I can't allow you to suffer such slander and disgrace.

I will never allow it."
