Chapter 916: Turning into a Demon
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The commotion caused by Jiang Chen didn’t calm down as time pa.s.sed—it only became more intense. Everyone in the Three Middle Realms knew that there was a Devilish G.o.d in the Spirit Zone, which was looking for his enemies everywhere.
If any member of the Fire, Wood, Earth, or Wind Spirit Clans ran into him, he could only resign himself to his bad luck and fate.
All the Great Spirit Clans forbore their impulse of going to divide up the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s territory because of Jiang Chen, and they all bided their time.
“His Doctrine Heart has a Demonic Seed, and his body is quickly aging. So he won’t manage to persist for more than several days.”
“That is right, someone saw him a while ago and discovered that his hair had already turned white.”
This was the Spirit Clans’ plan—they were going to bide their time. However, one day, news spread that the Blood Shadow Princess’s master, Han Xuzi, had gone to look for five comrades in the Seventh Realm and returned to the Spirit Zone to kill the demon. They were in total six Martial Emperors and they had an earth-shattering battle with Jiang Chen. In the end, the Martial Emperors had run away from the Three Middle Realms with their tails between their legs after they had paid a grave price.
However, in that battle Jiang Chen had ended up consuming life force greater than what he had consumed to destroy the Blood Shadow Dynasty, and everyone realized that this legendary person would shortly die. However, Jiang Chen’s name would still be famous in the Three Middle Realms’ history for 1,000 years. Regardless of whether he would leave a good or a bad name, he still had accomplished feats that would never be exceeded by anyone.
…..
On this day, in the Ice Spirit Clan’s land, the Guard General in the Ice Palace, who was always restless and could never sleep peacefully at night, got news which almost caused him to faint from fright. When he reported this news to the Icy Spirit King, surprise appeared on the king’s face.
“Are you sure they didn’t make a mistake?” The Icy Spirit King asked.
“That’s right. Even though he’s cloaked and has an aged appearance, it’s still surely him.” The Guard General’s face was pale and he was s.h.i.+vering.
The Icy Spirit King didn’t know what he should do. While they had a.s.sumed that Jiang Chen wouldn’t take revenge against the Ice Spirit Clan, now he had arrived.
“You should let all clansmen withdraw and leave,” the Icy Spirit King pa.s.sed down an order.
People immediately went to carry it out. They were all aware that this was the only feasible solution.
“The foundations of the Fire, Wind, Wood, and Earth Spirit Clans were all destroyed, and their supreme inherited treasures were stolen. They have suffered heavy losses and were already expelled from the Eight Great Spirit Clans’ ranks. Will my Ice Spirit Clan suffer the same fate?” Yun Shou shouted while sobbing.
“Yun Shou, it’s you who had always looked down upon Jiang Chen, and it’s also you who made such a plan,” someone in the hall spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shou, who was ashen-faced, spoke sharply, “What do you mean by this?”
“What I mean is that it’s only because of you that Jiang Chen ended up having a feud with our Ice Spirit Clans. It’s you who ruined his relations.h.i.+p with Xue’er and deceived both sides. It’s you who has caused such a tragedy!”
The people in the hall started denouncing Yun Shou. Everyone was aware that every Spirit Clan Jiang Chen pa.s.sed by would be expelled from the Eight Great Spirit Clans’ ranks.
“I…I was just doing it for the interests of the Ice Spirit Clan,” Yun Shou, whose face was pale, muttered.
“Why don’t you then atone for your crimes with your death. Let Jiang Chen kill you and appease his anger,” someone said viciously.
“It’s no use. The Fire Spirit Clan hadn’t done it, yet wasn’t their Boundless Fire Domain still destroyed?”
“Enough!” The restless Icy Spirit King was annoyed by all these people. He looked at the Guard General and said, “Where is Jiang Chen now?”
“It seems like he’s coming down the road, feeling bad,” the Guard General said.
“Spirit King, why don’t we inform Xue’er of the truth and have them forget their previous differences. We will still have a chance then.”
“It’s too risky, the Doctrine Heart’s Demonic Seed will let him slaughter people without batting an eye. How can we deal with it if he kills Xue’er directly?”
“But, will we really just let him destroy our spiritual land?”
“It’s too dangerous!”
After they argued for a while longer, an old man spoke, “I have a suggestion. We should just inform Xue’er of the truth and let her make a decision by herself.”
“Let’s do as you say.” The Spirit Zone accepted this suggestion.
…..
The cloaked Jiang Chen was walking step by step on the snow plains that stretched for 10,000 miles
“A divine body really has an astonis.h.i.+ng life force.It’s amazing that he can still persist,” the Flame Emperor clicked his tongue in wonder.
“Senior, I will have to ask you to intervene,” the Azure Demon spoke anxiously.
These days, they were always following Jiang Chen. The Divine Fire Ring and eight groups of spiritual beings’ scriptures were in Jiang Chen’s hands, and they could only move along with him.
“I also hope to help him because he’s my best inheritor. But I really don’t have any way of dealing with this.” The Flame Emperor shook his head. He was unable to help Jiang Chen even though he wanted to. “The fiendish aura emanating from him is becoming more intense, and, once his obsession disappears, he will turn into a true demon and start slaughtering people until his life comes to an end.”
“However, it’s obvious that Jiang Chen doesn’t want such an outcome, and he’s trying to quickly consume his life force.”
Upon hearing this, the Azure Demon’s eyes lit up. He said, “Doesn’t this mean that he has still retained his mind?”
“No,” the Flame Emperor spoke regretfully.
“If he had lost reason, why can he still restrain himself from killing innocent people?” The Azure Demon asked in confusion.
“It’s because he had considered this matter properly before he decided to turn into a demon, and he set everything up in advance. He isn’t controlling himself now.”
The Flame Emperor sneered coldly and said, “People had better not stimulate him or else he will turn into a demon before he has consumed his whole life force, and several million corpses will end up scattered around the Three Middle Realms.”
Jiang Chen didn’t hear even a single word of the Flame Emperor and the Azure Demon’s conversation. He was walking around an ice mountain while stopping from time to time. He had gotten drunk here in the past, and it was Nangong Xue who had carried him on her back and brought him back home on this road.
In the end, he reached the city where he had bought wine for the first time.
“The Devilish G.o.d Jiang Chen!” The Ice Spirits in the city almost fainted. They were all frightened and fled at their fastest speed. However, it was fortunate that Jiang Chen didn’t start a ma.s.sacre. It wasn’t a sword that he was holding in his hands, but a Mysterious Ice Comb.
“It’s really a miracle!” The Flame Emperor was surprised by this. He had already prepared himself to witness Jiang Chen ma.s.sacring everyone in the city. After this, Jiang Chen left the city and went onto the Ice Palace.
The Ice Palace was now calmer than usual, and only three people were left in it. Yun Shou, the Guard General, and the Icy Spirit King. The first two people stayed here because they wanted to atone for their crimes with their deaths, as for the last one, it was probably also the case for him. When they saw Jiang Chen, they all became so nervous that they couldn’t breathe properly. However, the pair of scarlet eyes beneath the cloak didn’t take even a single look at them, and Jiang Chen just proceeded toward his past bridal room.
“Awful!” The expressions of the Guard General and Yun Shou changed drastically because they had already destroyed the bridal room.
When the Ice Spirit Clan announced that it would sever its relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Chen, they didn’t leave behind anything related to him, including the bridal room.
As Jiang Chen stood before this empty room, his body started s.h.i.+vering, and a blood-red light started emanating from his feet.
“He’s turning into a demon! He’s turning into a demon!” The Flame Emperor shouted loudly.
The Azure Demon shook his head. He really couldn’t bear to watch such a sight.
“Jiang Chen!” However, it was at that moment that a white-clothed person landed before him. It was his senior sister who had finally gotten to know the truth. Tears were streaming down her face, and she pounced into Jiang Chen’s embrace without regard to anything.
Upon witnessing such a sight, the Icy Spirit King, and the other two people next to him, were dumbfounded. Now, everyone wished to distance himself from Jiang Chen, yet there was still someone who pounced into his embrace.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” The beautiful woman raised her head and looked at her junior brother’s current appearance, as well as his white hair, and cried loudly. Her cries reached Jiang Chen’s ears, and the blood-red light emanating from him started disappearing.
The eyes of the Azure Demon lit up, and he felt like he witnessed a glimmer of hope.
However, Jiang Chen’s body started combusting, and it started quickly turning to dust like what had occurred to his enemies.
“Don’t…cry!” Those were the last words Jiang Chen stated before he disappeared from the world completely.
The Four Great Spirit Clans’ supreme treasures, as well as the Ending Age Mace, fell on the ground. Jiang Chen had left them for his senior sister!
