Taiqing Eliminates the Monster High Command

At first, these people had not noticed Taiqing’s true strength.

So they did not choose to flee.

In their eyes, Taiqing was strong, but he was only comparable to a Level Seven Card Master.

With the three of them joining forces, an ordinary Level Seven Card Master would be no match for them.

Unless their opponent came from the Card Master Civilization, they were confident they could easily defeat the enemy before them.

At least, that was what they believed!

"I never expected humans to have a powerhouse like you!

Do you think becoming a Level Seven Card Master means we will be at your mercy?

You are nothing but an ant. You must die today!"

The Platinum Lion King roared furiously.

Compared to the previous Golden Scorpion King, the Platinum Lion King was more arrogant and even stronger.

"Lion King, don’t rush to kill this man. He is still useful to us.

Give him a good beating. Just leave him half-dead."

Then we can interrogate him and dig out his secrets.

In this energy-starved world, he became a Level Seven Card Master. I refuse to believe he has no secrets.

If we learn those secrets, perhaps we can break through our own limitations."

The speaker was the last of the three commanders—the Sky Snake King.

Sky Snakes were rare even in the Card Master Civilization.

Unfortunately, this Sky Snake had violated a taboo and was directly reduced to slavery, ruining what had once been an excellent situation.

But there was no denying that this fellow had a complicated mind.

The other two commanders had not noticed Taiqing’s value, but from the very beginning, the Sky Snake King had been certain that Taiqing was hiding secrets.

How could such a powerhouse, who had advanced to Level Seven Card Master in a resource-starved world, possibly have no secrets?

Therefore, compared to directly killing Taiqing, capturing him alive and forcing out his secrets was the best choice at present.

The Sky Snake King’s words made sense, and the other two commanders did not object.

In fact, even the most loyal kobolds would not hesitate to betray their masters if given the chance to escape slavery.

After all, not every kobold was willing to be a slave. Naturally, it was best if they did not have to be slaves.

Only when they could not break free from the slave mark would they display doglike loyalty.

With hope so close at hand, even slaves like kobolds would choose betrayal without hesitation.

Loyalty was merely the result of betrayal not being worth the price!

Unless a kobold had an exceptionally good relationship with his master, he would ultimately find it difficult to restrain himself in such circumstances.

Clearly, this kobold did not have a harmonious relationship with his master.

Otherwise, he would not have been sent here.

That was why, when he learned there was a chance to change his fate, a yearning light rose in his eyes.

Obviously, the three commanders had reached a consensus.

At this moment, Taiqing had become the target of their covetousness.

Taiqing was still unaware of this. Even if he had known, he would only have laughed it off.

In his eyes, giants had no need to care about the thoughts of ants.

Ants would always be ants, no matter how great their strength or how harsh their words.

In the end, he only needed one light step, and everything would crumble…

Before a powerhouse like Taiqing, the plans of the three commanders were nothing but futile.

Yet the three commanders were clearly oblivious to this.

They did not know Taiqing’s true strength, so they foolishly launched an attack, intending to severely wound him.

Although they had not targeted his vital points.

Still, if Taiqing had been hit, he would surely have been in grave danger.

At the very least, if he took all three attacks, he would lose the ability to move and retaliate for a time.

However, all of that was merely hypothetical.

In reality, Taiqing’s strength had long surpassed the three commanders’ imagination.

The Sky Snake King’s Sky Snake Breath, the kobold’s blazing fireball, and the Platinum Lion King’s explosive lion roar all appeared immensely powerful, yet none could affect Taiqing in the slightest.

Even as Taiqing stood perfectly still, the Black Light Membrane surrounding him was enough to block every attack.

Even attacks from the three commanders, or ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Level powerhouses, could not break through this defense unless they were equally strong.

Thus, the three commanders’ attacks were destined to be futile.

Faced with this scene, Taiqing smiled disdainfully and said, "Is this all your strength amounts to? It feels like you’re scratching an itch for me.

You think yourselves powerful, but you are nothing but ants—and you do not even possess an ant’s courage.

You still seem unaware of what you are about to face. Now, experience true fear! When fear descends, you will have nothing left!"

The moment his words fell, the three commanders found it difficult to breathe before plunging into boundless darkness.

Within that pitch-black space, their sight, hearing, and even sense of smell vanished. Their five senses were completely cut off.

Taking advantage of this, Taiqing dragged them into an illusory world with deadly killing intent.

In such an environment, the three commanders had no ability to resist, and their memories were gradually sealed away.

There, they possessed lives of their own happiness, wanting for neither wealth nor fine food.

They had everything they needed. Even if something was not necessary, as long as they desperately desired it, it would appear in their hands.

In that world, they could do anything they wished. Whatever they desired came true.

Such a life was undoubtedly the height of happiness for them.

After all, they had originally been nothing but slaves. How could they have ever imagined such wonderful days?

When such a happy life unfolded before them, their fall was inevitable.

Living in the illusory world, they had no idea that their energy was dissipating.

Especially after their past memories had been completely lost, they were utterly lost, allowing Taiqing to obtain their memories as well.

Under such circumstances, Taiqing gave a soft laugh. With a shift of thought, three powerful beings appeared around him, identical to the previous commanders.

Although their strength was inferior to that of the previous three commanders, the difference was not great.

Thus, these three were extremely similar to the former commanders, with at least a ninety-nine percent resemblance.

If he was going to put on an act, he had to make it perfect. To avoid exposing any flaws, Taiqing had gone to great lengths this time.

That was why he had racked his brains to draw all the commanders into the illusion.

If he had wanted to kill them, he only needed a thought. There was no need to drag them into the Fantasy World.

However, aside from obtaining their memories, he had no other way.

Therefore, drawing them into the illusion was the best choice.

After mastering those memories, Taiqing replaced them once more.

Under such circumstances, even a powerhouse like Taiqing could not help revealing a smile.

After all, everything was ready now. All he needed was the right time.

In this situation, joining the Card Master Civilization was only a matter of time.

And that was indeed the case.

The reason these commanders could come to this world was because they possessed the qualifications to enter it.

To return, they likewise needed to use those qualifications.

After replacing these people, Taiqing had clearly obtained such qualifications.

This meant that traveling between the two worlds would no longer be difficult for Taiqing.

Entering the real world was merely a matter of time.

Once he had handled all matters here, he would head to the real world and explore it.

Time flew by.

After Taiqing eliminated the monster high command.

The remaining monsters could all be dealt with by the Trister Federation itself.

Taiqing, meanwhile, played the role of a cleaner throughout this process.

Large numbers of monsters were continuously converted into his Origin Energy and Soul Energy, further enhancing his attributes.

However, Taiqing’s strength this time far surpassed what it had once been.

Therefore, although he had killed many Mother Organisms, even slain the three commanders, and absorbed all the monsters’ Origin Energy and Soul Energy from the battlefield.

His current three-dimensional attributes had still only barely reached two.

That was all…

The power of a Golden Immortal of Grand Da Luo was truly unbelievable!

If Taiqing had not already possessed some foundation, raising his three-dimensional attributes to two this time would likely have been quite difficult.

The goal had been achieved, and the result was satisfying.

Whether it was one Golden Immortal of Grand Da Luo or two, they would be considered invincible in this world.

Still, the increase in strength ultimately brought him joy.

Unfortunately, such a grand opportunity would not come a second time in the current world.

After all the monsters were eliminated, the next great cleansing would not occur for at least another thousand years.

This meant that, for the foreseeable future, this world would become a paradise for humanity.

As for what would happen a thousand years later, that could be left to the future.

With a thousand years to develop, even without Taiqing’s help, they would be confident in defeating the monsters by then.

Feeling the joy overflowing from all living beings because of victory, the corners of Taiqing’s lips rose slightly.

He looked around and swept the area with his Divine Sense.

Soon, he found his family and saw Old Man Li.

Taiqing’s parents had already learned that their child had left. Though reluctant to part with him, they understood that this was an inevitable part of growing up, so they were not overly saddened.

Moreover, Old Man Li seemed especially remarkable at this moment.

With the help of some mysterious cultivation method, he had undergone several transformations in an extremely short time.

His current strength was already close to that of a Level Seven Card Master, even surpassing some of them.

Although the road ahead was long, Old Man Li believed he would eventually reach the summit.

Under such circumstances, he had actually developed the ambition to unify the world.

Seeing this, Taiqing frowned slightly, then relaxed and murmured, "So be it!"

Even if Old Man Li had not embarked on this path yet, he would certainly set foot on it again in the future.

Human desire was endless. The pursuit of power and strength was human nature!

Let him do as he pleased. If he truly managed to unify many nations, perhaps he really could reach some supreme realm through it.

Even if he could not become a supreme existence, his strength would greatly improve. Being comparable to a Level Seven Card Master was not his ultimate goal.

This world had enough resources to support him until he reached a level comparable to a Level Nine Card Master.

By then, he would have to find a way to leave this world himself.

After all, this world’s resources were ultimately scarce…

Taiqing focused on the present while seeing through the future.

Now, he could already see the direction in which fate was moving.

Because of this, he was fully aware of certain things that were about to happen.

Although these things might not necessarily occur, there was at least a sixty percent chance that they would.

Yet clearly, this could not stop the trend toward unification. Old Man Li was destined to become an important figure!

Under Old Man Li’s protection, Taiqing’s parents would live happier lives than before!

Seeing this, Taiqing let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, his main consciousness and clone activated their permissions together and applied to return!
