Chapter 436: Without this bone, you can still become a Supreme!

The whole world went quiet.

Shi Huang lay there quietly, neither dead nor alive, without a trace of breath.

Wang Mu slowly took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills, flicked his finger to shatter the bottle, and crushed the dozen or so pills emitting golden light, turning them into the purest medicinal power that merged into Shi Huang's body.

A moment later.

Shi Huang opened his eyes and crawled up.

He looked at Wang Mu before him, and the devastated surroundings.

Scenes flashed through his mind.

Then, he fell silent.

"What on earth was that thing?" Shi Huang asked after a long while.

"A Heavenly Demon!" Wang Mu said slowly.

"I have never heard of it!" Shi Huang said.

Wang Mu nodded: "Because wherever they go, nothing remains, not even the world itself, so naturally, no one can spread their reputation!"

Hearing this, Shi Huang was shocked: "Does that mean…"

Wang Mu knew what he was thinking and nodded: "Correct, it seems they have set their sights on the Cangyuan Realm."

He felt a bit emotional.

The nonsense he used to bluff Lin Yan and the others back then had actually come true.

Moreover, the existence of Heavenly Demons was far more terrifying than any ordinary so-called Great Tribulation.

The Saint Advent Society.

They were likely just an organization formed by believers of the Heavenly Demon race.

They already possessed extremely formidable strength and foundations.

Even several Holy Lands and ancient clans were willing to cooperate with them.

If not for the appearance of a variable like Wang Mu.

I am afraid that within ten years, the entire Northern Region would have fallen under their control.

Being targeted by such a group of things.

Is definitely not a good thing.

And this was only the Northern Region; who knew if the other regions of the Cangyuan Realm had shadows of the Saint Advent Society?

If so.

Then the situation would be even worse!

Shi Huang's inner feelings were even more complex; he was not stupid. Combining what Wang Mu had said earlier with his own many personal experiences.

At this moment, he had a rough understanding of the whole matter.

And could almost conclude.

That what Wang Mu said before was highly likely to be true.

So, what did the hatred he had persisted in for so many years amount to?

Ultimately.

The entire Martial King's Mansion, including himself, Shi Huang, were nothing but chess pieces of the Saint Advent Society.

"Why didn't you kill me?"

Shi Huang looked at Wang Mu, his tone full of decadence and frustration.

He looked several years older.

Wang Mu said: "I said it before, you are a Genius. Your survival is a good thing for the Cangyuan Realm and the Human Race!"

Hearing these words.

Shi Huang's body trembled as he stared at Wang Mu, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Before, when Wang Mu said such things to him.

He only felt that Wang Mu was being hypocritical.

Trying to use such flattery to save his own life.

But now, Wang Mu had displayed terrifying strength, and he, Shi Huang, was already like a fish on a chopping block, at his mercy.

Wang Mu only needed to flick a finger.

To take his life.

But Wang Mu still said this, and the meaning was completely different.

At this moment, Shi Huang felt the sincerity from Wang Mu.

He could not help but be moved.

"What a Young Master Mu, the reputation is well-deserved!" Shi Huang's eyes were filled with respect, "Shi Huang, I am not as good!"

After a pause, Shi Huang's tone was full of sorrow, "It is just a pity that I am now a cripple! I no longer deserve the title of Genius!"

His Supreme Bone had been dug out.

His power was extremely hollow.

Even his Realm had fallen to Nascent Soul, and it was still continuing to drop.

His combat power was far inferior to before.

Wang Mu shook his head and said: "You are wrong!"

Shi Huang looked at him, a glimmer of hope rising in his eyes, "Could it be, I still have a chance to regenerate the Supreme Bone?"

Wang Mu denied it: "A piece of bone cannot truly make you a Supreme! Conversely, it is the same; without that bone, you can still walk a path of invincibility! As long as your Dao Heart is firm, there is nothing impossible in this world!"

Wang Mu's tone was very light, but it fell into Shi Huang's ears like a deafening thunder.

A hint of confusion appeared in Shi Huang's eyes: "Just relying on the Dao Heart, is it really possible?"

Wang Mu nodded: "The power of the heart is infinite, and the power that originally belonged to you will not be lost; it is just hidden… Use your heart to find it, and one day, you will still be that majestic Desolate Heaven Marquis!"

After a pause, Wang Mu added: "I have opened some academies in the Northern Region; you should have heard of them! After leaving this place, you can freely find some branches, go take a look, walk around, attend some classes, and I believe it will be helpful to you!"

A Child of Luck will not fall so easily.

Especially people like Shi Huang.

As long as he is given a chance, he will become infinitely stronger.

If it were before, when Wang Mu's strength was insufficient, he would definitely have thought about rooting out Shi Huang to prevent future trouble.

But now, he had the confidence.

And he truly wanted to keep a trump card for the future.

Whether it was for himself, for the Wang family, or for the Northern Region.

Shi Huang being alive had more advantages than disadvantages.

Hearing this, Shi Huang fell silent and nodded.

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked: "Is it dead?"

Wang Mu knew he was asking about the Great Extinction Demon God.

Wang Mu shook his head and said: "How could such an old monster that has survived for countless epochs die so easily? However, having years of layout go to waste is enough to make it hurt quite a bit!"

Shi Huang nodded thoughtfully.

Meanwhile.

In the Void Realm outside the territory.

In an endless abyss where the sun never shines.

A pair of terrifying eyes suddenly opened.

In an instant.

Countless Voids shattered, and terrifying Devilish Qi swept in all directions.

It was as if countless Small Worlds were sinking, floating, living, and dying within it.

"Damn it—"

"Such a top-tier body, destroyed just like that…"

"Damn Human Race!"

"Wang family, Wang Mu… This deity will remember you!"

It roared, its voice filled with infinite rage.

In order to be reborn.

It had plotted for tens of thousands of years, carefully selecting and searching for the perfect vessel that would allow it to transcend in its ninth life.

It had chosen countless targets and created countless Clones.

Only Shi Huang was the most satisfying.

Whether it was Luck, talent, or other aspects, they were all top-tier existences.

As long as the timing was right.

It would be able to use this as its main body, merge all its Clones, live out its true ninth life, and have the hope of transcending to reach the other shore.

However, all these plans.

Were completely broken today!

The means it had left on Shi Huang were completely erased.

This meant that Shi Huang had no more connection with it.

Trying to re-establish the connection would be extremely difficult.

"You caused this deity to lose a perfect body, then… use your own to pay for it!"
