Its Strength Was Extraordinary!

As for why I left, you can make up a reason and tell my parents.

As for the Myriad Heavens Kingdom, there’s no need to bother with them for now. Soon, they’ll be too busy to worry about us and won’t pose a threat.

Although your methods were somewhat extreme, the outcome was good. You left no evidence behind, and they wouldn’t dare make a move against you."

Old Man Li replied, "Please rest assured. I’ll take care of everything."

"By the way, do you know how long I’ll be gone this time? When will I return? If it takes too long, I’m worried my family will become suspicious."

"Let them be suspicious if they want to be.

In truth, it can’t be hidden for long anyway. After I leave this time, I may never return.

Even if I do return, it will be decades from now.

So I’ll have to trouble you to look after Liu Erpang’s family and mine.

This is the disciple disciple. Take it first!

It may not be the very best to me, but it’s enough to change your fate.

Its mysteries are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Cultivate diligently. Perhaps we’ll meet again someday."

After saying that, Taiqing turned and left.

Old Man Li stood where he was, silently contemplating the disciple mystical art in his mind.

To be honest, this disciple mystical art Taiqing had left behind was one of the strongest disciple arts he had ever seen.

Moreover, it could actually allow Old Man Li to embark on the path of cultivation by himself! It was absolutely incomparable to those martial arts manuals that could only be activated through cards.

Old Man Li knew exactly what that meant.

After learning of the wonder of this disciple art, he understood that he had truly stumbled upon tremendous fortune this time.

Although cultivating this disciple art might make it difficult for him to reach the heights of a top expert like Taiqing, Old Man Li firmly believed that as long as he persevered, he would eventually use it to reach the limits of this world.

At the very least, his lifespan would far surpass that of ordinary people!

Thinking of this, Old Man Li’s heart filled with joy.

It was foreseeable that this disciple art would become the key to his rise in the future.

He had originally thought his days were numbered, but now he felt that everything was only just beginning.

Taiqing ultimately did not belong to this world, and this remote testing ground was not his stage either. Yet there was nothing he could do about it.

Before his three-dimensional attributes reached one thousand, he could not cross the universe with his physical body, nor could he explore other planets.

But now, he was infinitely close to that goal!

Therefore, he had to seek a breakthrough, and in his perception, the mysterious Red River was precisely that opening.

This time, Taiqing was determined not to let the Red River go.

The Red River clearly contained a vast amount of source energy, and Taiqing was overjoyed when he saw it.

He immediately leaped into the river!

His body instantly transformed into a massive vortex.

The vortex continuously devoured the source energy within the Red River.

Taiqing’s body was undergoing another transformation.

But this was only the beginning.

This transformation required a huge amount of source energy to sustain it.

Thus, the entire Red River became his source of energy.

Massive amounts of source energy poured into his body, and his attributes continued to fluctuate.

Although the numbers remained at 999, they had actually begun changing imperceptibly.

If his attributes could be perfectly digitized at this moment, he would discover that those numbers were increasing at a visible rate.

From 999.1 to 999.15.

As even more energy flowed in, his attributes suddenly rose to 999.2.

Such improvement would not stop anytime soon.

Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Taiqing had said, the Myriad Heavens Kingdom was already too busy to care about itself.

Annan City had officially become disciple.

Old Man Li had become the city’s true ruler.

Though only one month had passed, he had already been completely transformed.

The rulers of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom were extremely dissatisfied with this and even sent several top Card Masters to try to eliminate him.

Yet even without Taiqing’s help, Old Man Li successfully withstood everything.

He personally took action and wiped out every target, leaving no one alive!

It was clear that after the Card Master system combined with a certain mystical art, Old Li’s strength had approached that of a level-six Card Master.

He was even somewhat stronger than ordinary level-six Card Masters, second only to the Guardians.

Under such circumstances, the leaders of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom were furious.

However, this was precisely when the Myriad Heavens Kingdom desperately needed manpower, so the deployment of Guardians had to be handled with caution.

Even if they sent large numbers of ordinary level-six Card Masters, they would have difficulty dealing with someone as cunning and experienced as Old Li.

Left with no choice, the leaders of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom could only accept reality.

After all, civil unrest raged throughout the country, and monster sieges occurred frequently.

Even the capital had descended into turmoil.

No matter how furious the leaders of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom were, they could only endure in the face of the tide-like hordes of monsters.

Although major nations had their own trump cards, there were simply too many monsters this time.

Moreover, these monsters were mainly gathered around major cities. Using super cards could accidentally harm innocent people.

Although the Yanluo Order was powerful, once it caused casualties among their own people, the public pressure would be unbearable.

Therefore, in most circumstances, major nations were unwilling to use super cards lightly.

But there were too many monsters this time, forcing them to bring out their trump cards.

Although doing so might provoke some people’s dissatisfaction, most people would not be affected.

Thus, after military coercion and the release of public announcements, public opinion did not produce the expected effect.

However, the seeds of hatred had long since been planted, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

Those who accomplished great things did not concern themselves with trivialities. To deal with these monsters, they had no choice but to take such action!

Not only the capital, but many major cities had also been assaulted by monsters.

Some major cities had even been completely swallowed up.

Under these circumstances, the rulers had to quickly find a solution.

Otherwise, similar incidents would only become more frequent!

If they did not reveal their trump cards, more cities would face siege and destruction.

Therefore, in order to resolve these crises quickly, the three great nations each brought out their own disciple trump cards.

With those trump cards, the monsters ultimately could not stir up much trouble.

Although the Mother Organism was powerful, humanity’s trump cards were clearly not something they could withstand.

Each of the three nations’ trump cards could easily eliminate a Mother Organism.

However, those three super cards also had their limitations.

Furthermore, commander-level monsters could resist the attacks of super cards almost completely unharmed.

In such a situation, once a commander-level monster appeared, humanity would fall into a completely passive position.

Even using their strongest weapons, they could not eliminate this monster.

Its strength was extraordinary!

Under these circumstances, some of the powerful figures in the capital were forced to make escape plans.

The upper echelons clearly already intended to evacuate.

They no longer had the capacity to care about Annan City.

What worried the rulers most was not the uncrowned king, but that commander whose strength rivaled that of a level-seven Card Master.

It was a Ghost-faced Werewolf, and its most terrifying trait was its astonishing speed, so fast that people could not catch even a glimpse of him.

Compared with the Nine-Headed Giant from before, this fellow was even more troublesome.

Even with the Yanluo Order in hand, they found it difficult to lock onto him.

If they could lock onto him, perhaps they could challenge a god with mortal power.

However, this monster was simply too fast. Most people could only see his afterimage.

Therefore, once they missed an opportunity, a single mistake could bring fatal consequences.

It had to be said that the Myriad Heavens Kingdom would likely struggle to deal with this crisis.

Although monster sieges occurred periodically, ordinary people knew nothing about them.

After all, the Card Master system here could not extend one’s lifespan.

Thus, they could only learn scattered bits of information from ancient records.

As for anything more, they knew nothing.

So this group of people who could not even see their opponent was truly unlucky this time.

But compared with the other nations, the Myriad Heavens Kingdom was considered fortunate this time.

After all, only one commander had appeared near its capital.

The other nations faced at least two commanders.

In fact, the Myriad Heavens Kingdom should originally have faced two commanders.

But unexpectedly, one of them had been killed by Taiqing.

The Nine-Headed Giant should originally have been able to come directly from Annan.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The Nine-Headed Giant encountered his nemesis and had now been completely wiped out.

Annan should have fallen, yet it had not. Instead, something had gone wrong on his own side.

This was undoubtedly a profound tragedy, yet there was nothing he could do. After all, who could have foreseen such an outcome?

Although the Ghost-faced Werewolf constantly cursed the Nine-Headed Giant’s stupidity in his heart,

he also understood that Annan must have someone of comparable strength.

Without such a figure, the Nine-Headed Giant could not possibly have failed for no reason.

Fortunately, the so-called Myriad Heavens Kingdom did not pose much of a threat this time.

Although there was only one commander, he still led his army to breach the capital of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom, followed by an utterly brutal…

Regrettably, the upper echelons of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom ultimately managed to escape.

This left the Ghost-faced Werewolf deeply dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, those higher-ups did possess some capability.

Though they could not confront the Ghost-faced Werewolf head-on, guerrilla tactics were still feasible.

This situation gave the Ghost-faced Werewolf a severe headache.

Although he had occupied the capital of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom, he did not actually dare remain there for long.

That was because the upper echelons of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom would periodically send people bearing Yanluo Orders.

And they were the widest-range kind!

This gave the Ghost-faced Werewolf a terrible headache, but he had no choice.

The Yanluo Order’s power was too great. Even a powerful being like him was unwilling to face it head-on.

Therefore, most of the time, he could only swallow his anger and do his best to scatter the monsters to reduce losses…

Doing so did indeed greatly reduce the losses in the surrounding areas, but inevitably, no matter how minor the losses were, his forces suffered casualties every time.

If this continued, the monsters under his command would eventually all be wiped out, leaving only him alone.

By then, no matter how powerful he was, it would be useless.

Once his enemies swarmed him, even a powerful being like him would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, the Ghost-faced Werewolf developed a deep hatred for the Nine-Headed Giant.

However, he had no solution at present. No matter how filled with hatred he was, he did not dare investigate the place where the Nine-Headed Giant had disappeared.

After all, a being capable of killing a commander-level powerhouse was lurking there.

Although he considered himself stronger than the Nine-Headed Giant, such a place was certainly not somewhere an ordinary person could venture.

If that powerhouse was only slightly stronger than the Nine-Headed Giant, he might still be able to escape. But if the gap were enormous, then even a powerhouse like him would only be throwing his life away.

The Ghost-faced Werewolf clearly treasured his life greatly.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, he could only wait patiently for an opportunity to wipe out the Myriad Heavens Kingdom’s upper echelons in one stroke.

Such an opportunity was about to arrive!

Because the Tulip Republic had fallen.

The most terrifying aspect of that nation’s super card—Fatal Violet—was violet poison.

However, the commander-level figures there—the Golden Scorpion King and the Void Walker—were clearly not afraid of that poison.
