Chapter 1938 – Intent of Disorder

A dogged Cen Sui erupted with full strength and managed to hang on in the face of the skull’s salvo. However, this was just a momentary burst of stamina. Not only was the skull infinitely close to peak grand supreme, it was also the underlying basis for the will of the disordered treasure.

The massive vortex they were in flared with terrifying destructive power, adding it to the skull. Cen Sui wouldn’t be able to endure the pressure for too long.

……

“He’s probably reached his limit… If we don’t take action soon, he’ll likely strike back at us to take us with him,” Wu Ru remarked with some pity and brought out a tiny crystal skull. It glittered just like the empyrean crystal skull, but it wasn’t made of empyrean crystal.

As the foremost powerhouse of the shamans, Wu Ru naturally enjoyed the privilege to study their ancestor’s skull. He’d formed the crystal skull in his hand after extracting some power from the ancestor’s skull.

With the two skulls sharing the same origin, Wu Ru used his as a sounding rod to determine where the empyrean crystal skull was. He followed it to the Disordered Sea, but the rules and laws were in such disarray here that anything resembling a compass lost its efficacy. So all Wu Ru knew was that the empyrean crystal skull and Cen Sui were inside the sea, but he didn’t know that the skull had already been taken to Disordered Island.

Cen Sui was counting on this; he wanted to use the disordered energy within the sea to eliminate Wu Ru once and for all.

The tiny crystal skull in Wu Ru’s hands still maintained a connection with the empyrean crystal skull. Since the skulls were physically close to each other, Wu Ru easily connected the two together.

Using the skull in his hands as the medium, he deployed the great shamanic art of life extension and connected Lu Yun to the empyrean crystal skull. There was life in that skull!

Boom!

An enormous ripple reverberated through the void and the disordered vortexes coming for Cen Sui immediately dispersed. He was sent flying by the backlash, landing in an unknown patch of space. He was no fool—he’d collected some power of order from the Snow Lotus before he left, so the disordered forcefield in the void wouldn’t threaten him for the time being.

Up in the air, the massive skull had grown out half of its body. She suddenly stopped and the deep look in her eyes dimmed. Lu Yun also froze as well—a massive mind flowed into his body through the tiny skull in Wu Ru’s hand.

He was as if a fly caught in amber, unable to move anything except his thoughts.

“I told you to think about it some more. See, now you’ve fallen into my trap.” A smile floated onto Wu Ru’s face and he carefully put the crystal skull away. He looked appraisingly at the young man.

“How do you know I’ve fallen into a trap?” Lu Yun suddenly shook his head and restored mobility to his body.

Wu Ru’s eyes widened; Cen Sui also appeared back on the connate lotus instead of floundering around in the void.

“The gig’s up,” Cen Sui sneered at his arch nemesis, his weapon in hand.

“Gig? What gig?” A hint of caution floated onto Wu Ru’s face. Despite being at arm’s length, Cen Sui wasn’t afraid of the other and even took two steps forward.

“He’s not Wu Ru,” Lu Yun interjected. “Wu Ru’s soul has been devoured. He’s the will of the disordered treasure.”

“Oh? How did you know? When did you find out?” chuckled “Wu Ru”.

“I miscalculated,” Lu Yun narrowed his eyes. “I thought that the will from the treasure was very weak, that it was able to make mischief only because of the disordered treasure. I thought it wasn’t that intelligent.

“But you devoured all those grand supreme spirits and souls not to forge a true spirit for yourself, but to manifest your intelligence!”

The disordered treasure had executed one hundred thousand grand supremes. Its will absorbed all of their thoughts and intelligence, thus enabling the woman inside to develop an exceedingly high mental capacity. She’d also occupied Wu Ru’s mind through his connection with the empyrean crystal skull.

The treasure’s will started luring Lu Yun into her plot from the very first usage of the life extension art, leading him to believe that this kind of uncanny shamanic art really did exist. Everything had paved the way for this moment, to once more deploy the life extension art and connect him to the empyrean crystal skull. That gave the treasure’s intent a split second of opportunity to rush into Lu Yun’s body.

Wu Ru nodded smilingly. He still appeared the same as before, but his thoughts were someone else’s.

“All I’ve done is awaken from a dull, muddle-headed state. After I devoured one hundred thousand souls, I learned that you ended the god of Mount Tai’s Land of Reincarnation and forged the origin hell before he could. I don’t want anything else—just the hell,” Wu Ru said. “Don’t count on having Yun Yi rescue you. She can’t see anything that’s happening here and can’t come to this place.”

A kingly, female voice echoed in Lu Yun’s mind, saying the same things that Wu Ru did.

“You want hell?” Cen Sui struck before Lu Yun could respond and slammed his weapon down on Wu Ru’s body. Wind, forest, fire, and mountain operated at the same time, releasing a formidable power beyond imagination.

He was as swift as the wind, as calm as the forest, plundered like fire, and as immobile as a mountain. This was the great dao that Cen Sui cultivated.

BOOM!

The four forces gathered together as one and smashed into Wu Ru.

Clang!

A disordered vortex appeared over Wu Ru and shattered the forces. Cen Sui spat out blood and looked disbelievingly at Wu Ru.

“Peak grand supreme!” he yelled. Wu Ru, or rather, the will of the disordered treasure, was a peak grand supreme!

Lu Yun remained unmoving, his eyes fixed on the enemy. He mentally replayed Wu Ru and the treasure’s words again and again.

“Hell needs a true master and it’s not me.” Lu Yun raised his head. “I can give you hell, but you must join the immortal dao and become the master of hell under immortal dao.”

“Hmm?” Wu Ru frowned.

“Yun Yi cannot see me, but four out of the six grand supremes in the chief worlds stand behind me. Yun Yi cannot come to this place by himself, but what if all four of them come at the same time?” Lu Yun extended his hand and released the marks of four peak grand supremes.

Tailong, the Dao King, Yun Yi, and Qiu Feishan.

Wu Ru finally lost his look of complete assurance.
