An Unprecedentedly Fierce Clash

As long as he did not destroy this planet, he could do whatever he wanted!

Under these circumstances, no matter how destructive they were, at most they could cause this space to collapse completely. It would never affect the outside world in the slightest.

Taiqing snorted and said, "You do have some tricks, but you are still unbearably stupid!

Even now, have you not noticed anything unusual?

Look around you. The slaves you once controlled are waiting for you to join them! Enjoy the purgatory that belongs solely to you!"

Before Taiqing had finished speaking, the Slave Master was dragged into the Fantasy World.

If this had happened more than ten days ago, Taiqing would not have been able to accomplish this no matter how powerful he was.

But today was different. Once his strength had recovered to the peak Saint level, Taiqing displayed astonishing power!

Under such circumstances, the Slave Master had no ability to resist.

Although Card Masters in the Card Master Civilization system had their own unique qualities, the Primordial World’s martial power system was no less formidable.

Moreover, Taiqing’s own strength far exceeded the Slave Master’s. On the spiritual level, the gap between them was even more immense and utterly incomparable!

Therefore, it was no injustice that the Slave Master, a Card King, had lost!

The gap between each rank of Card Master in the Card Master Civilization was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

However, after fusing with certain powerful cards, some people could directly cross the gulf between power levels.

The Slave Master clearly did not possess such a card.

That was precisely why, when facing a genius like Taiqing who could challenge opponents above his level, he had no ability to strike back.

Although Card Masters could fuse with one core talent card every time they advanced a rank, and these cards would transform into permanent enhancements and unique talents after being integrated into the body, those enhancements and talents varied in quality.

The Slave Master had fused with a total of ten core cards, but he had focused on strengthening his physical body and combat abilities. As a result, his spiritual defenses were relatively weak.

Among his ten core cards, only one could enhance spiritual attributes. It was a Level Nine card, and under most circumstances, that was already sufficient.

This Level Nine card, called "Inner Demon," had been created after defeating a terrifying mind flayer.

After fusing it into his body, the Slave Master gained the mind flayer’s talents and abilities, and his strength increased dramatically.

After making up for his final weakness, the Slave Master was no longer considered weak among Card Kings. He ranked somewhere in the middle to upper range.

Unfortunately, he had encountered a powerhouse who could directly breach his spiritual defenses.

Although he resisted with all his might, Taiqing and his Fantasy World were too powerful. In the end, they dragged him inside.

After fusing with the "Inner Demon" card, he had grown somewhat lax in his spiritual defenses. As a result, he failed to react in time to Taiqing’s sneak attack and was dragged into the Fantasy World.

In such circumstances, his memories slowly began to blur…

Everything from the past seemed like fleeting smoke. Once it all faded away, a world realistic enough to pass for truth appeared before the Slave Master.

In this world, the humans he had once enslaved, lifeforms of other races, and even those beings he had looked down upon all began demanding his life!

With his memories obstructed, the Slave Master was completely unable to resist!

He was afraid. He trembled. Yet in this world, the stronger his fear became, the more real it became!

This was the endless Hell that belonged solely to him!

Within this Hell, the Slave Master did not endure for long.

If it had been that wonderful world where all wishes came true, perhaps he could have lasted for decades.

But in this endless Hell, in less than three months, he was completely devoured!

Wandering evil ghosts and grotesque aberrations tore him into pieces!

Clearly, this Slave Master’s end was exceedingly miserable.

In the past, Taiqing absolutely could not have constructed such a Fantasy World.

Because in the beginning, all the energy needed to create such a terrifying atmosphere came from himself.

At the time, his strength was clearly insufficient to support the materialization of certain things…

Now, however, things were completely different!

The current Taiqing was no longer the Taiqing of the past.

After recovering part of his strength, it was no longer difficult for him to pull a Card King into his illusion.

Unless it was an unparalleled genius, especially a Card Master skilled in spiritual matters.

Even with the help of the Fantasy World, Taiqing would find it difficult to draw such a powerhouse inside.

Even if he managed to pull such a person in, it would still be difficult to make him fall completely into it.

However, this Slave Master was clearly not such an unparalleled genius.

He was merely an ordinary genius who had obtained more resources than others…

And because of that, the Card King’s defeat was inevitable.

After the Card King was defeated and died, Taiqing obtained much information and many secrets that had previously been beyond his reach.

Under such circumstances, Taiqing’s appearance gradually came to resemble that of the former Slave Master.

As time passed and he continuously made adjustments, Taiqing’s face eventually became identical to that of the dead Slave Master before him.

He became "him."

Under these circumstances, no one would dare disturb Taiqing in the short term.

With the Slave Master’s identity, control of this planet now fell into Taiqing’s hands.

Thus, he was able to use the various resources of this world to rapidly restore his strength.

Under such circumstances, with the foundation of the Myriad Heavens Method, restoring his strength was no difficult task for Taiqing.

Time flowed away like water.

Half a month passed quietly.

With the help of these resources, Taiqing had now reached the peak of the Limitless Sage realm.

Only one step remained before he could once again possess power comparable to the Heavenly Dao Realm.

During this time, Taiqing had been trying to contact that Card Emperor-level powerhouse.

His reason was that there was a group of outstanding female slaves here.

That Card Emperor was lustful by nature and fond of beautiful women. He often came to these two slave planets to indulge himself.

Previously, because he had been in seclusion cultivating, he had no time to heed Taiqing’s request.

But circumstances had changed. The moment Taiqing finished speaking, he immediately hurried over.

Under such circumstances, Taiqing had long prepared himself to become "him."

Clearly, compared to the previous Card King, the Card Emperor was Taiqing’s true ultimate target.

A minor Slave Master was nothing, but a Card Emperor who controlled more than three thousand life planets was entirely different.

If Taiqing could become this Card Emperor, what he could accomplish would far surpass what he could do as a Slave Master.

Therefore, Taiqing had always desired this identity held by the person behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, his strength had been insufficient before. Once his strength improved, he had been unable to contact the Card Emperor.

Fortunately, the other party had finally sent word today!

The Card Emperor was rushing here in great haste.

From the information he had obtained, Taiqing learned the Card Emperor’s true identity—Zhang Ziji.

Zhang Ziji was one of the fifty-four councilors in the Card Master Civilization.

The strength of these fifty-four councilors was extraordinary.

Even the weakest among them possessed Card Emperor-level power.

And the strongest was the council chairman!

He was a true Super God Card Master.

Of course, the Card Master Civilization had far more powerhouses than just these people.

Most truly powerful beings spent all year in seclusion.

Especially those powerhouses who had reached the Mythological Great Luo realm.

As long as the Card Master Civilization did not face a major crisis and no equally powerful opponent interfered, they would never easily appear before the world.

Their time was exceedingly precious. Why would they expend too much energy on the Card Master Civilization?

Although the Card Master Civilization had been supported by them, it no longer had much impact on them personally.

Overall, the entire civilization was clearly incapable of sustaining those Mythological Great Luo powerhouses.

Even so, these powerhouses still valued their ties of faith and gratitude.

Therefore, even if the civilization faced a crisis of destruction, they would still lend a hand.

But that was all, unless the world stood on the verge of destruction or a powerhouse of equal realm threatened the Card Master Civilization.

In external conflicts, so long as no Mythological Great Luo-level powerhouse intervened, they would not interfere.

This also made the Super God Card Masters the civilization’s actual rulers. There were ten of them in total, all at peak strength, equivalent to powerhouses at the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Even if the Primordial World exhausted all its strength, it would find it difficult to nurture such a number of top-tier powerhouses, revealing the enormous gap between the two worlds.

Yet in the face of this disparity, Taiqing neither retreated nor felt fear. He merely continued silently improving his strength.

At this moment, an excellent opportunity lay before him. If he succeeded, he would become the ruler of more than three thousand life planets. With the planets’ resources, his strength would certainly increase greatly.

If that truly happened, restoring his Heavenly Dao Realm cultivation in a short period would no longer be a distant dream!

Although Zhang Ziji had not yet arrived, Taiqing was already full of anticipation.

In order to increase his strength as quickly as possible, Taiqing had truly given it everything he had.

And because of that, Zhang Ziji would not escape calamity this time.

His heart was full of lust, unaware that someone on the slave planet had already set his sights on him.

A life-and-death confrontation was about to unfold.

A Card Master and a powerhouse from the Primordial World were about to meet.

This would be an unprecedentedly fierce clash.

One side was poised and ready, while the other knew nothing at all.

However, in a contest between such powerhouses, victory and defeat were never decided in an instant.

Therefore, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious.

Taiqing looked into the distance, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

He had once used this very smile to charm that arrogant Slave Master.

Now, that smile appeared once more.

A world-shaking battle was inevitable…

"What is going on? Why is there no welcoming ceremony this time?

Though I do not like such formalities, is it not too careless to do nothing at all?"

Zhang Ziji, riding aboard a Void Battleship, had already drawn near the slave planet.

Thus, he immediately noticed that the starry sky was empty, with no one there to welcome him.

This displeased him greatly. Combined with his usual concern for appearances, that was why he acted as he had before.

Taiqing had clearly noticed this long ago, so he calmly replied, "My apologies. I did not think things through this time.

I thought you had come quietly this time and intended to leave quietly as well. I also thought you preferred it this way.

It seems I made my own decision without permission. I deserve punishment!"

"You do deserve punishment, but this approach is not unacceptable.

After all, this way, perhaps Madam will not notice anything unusual. Maybe I can come a few more times.

You have done well! But making decisions on your own was still somewhat excessive.

Punishment is unavoidable, but the rewards will not be few either!"

Clearly, Zhang Ziji was a man who feared his wife.

In truth, he owed his current status entirely to his wife.

Without her, he might still be struggling bitterly at the Card King level, unable to enjoy his current glory.

In order to rise in status, he married his current wife.

Because of that, he gained the support of his wife’s family and ultimately broke through countless obstacles to become a true Card Emperor.

Therefore, in most circumstances, Zhang Ziji feared his wife.

Although his wife gave him some face in front of outsiders, his status at home was not high.

Even when he wanted to go out to seek pleasure, he needed her permission.

Once she discovered that he had acted without authorization, he would suffer harsh punishment. That punishment was extremely brutal, and in serious cases, he would not even be able to get out of bed.

In this matter, his subordinate had acted without permission and found him a possible solution.

This made him regard the former Slave Master with even greater respect.

However, he had never particularly appreciated those who liked making decisions on their own.

That was why he decided to both reward and punish him this time.

"Thank you, my lord! You are truly extraordinary, my lord. This junior is utterly ashamed of himself."

"By the way, where have the newly arrived women been arranged? Are they still in that little courtyard you often visit, or should we change to somewhere more romantic?"
