Chapter 1374 - 1276: How Did You Do It?
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Wu Jie’s words, Yang Tian seriously observed the man inside the Ghost Vehicle.
The man’s face was covered with a thick beard, making him look quite weathered.
The man sat inside the Ghost Vehicle, yet remained very calm, as if it didn’t matter whether he was inside or not.
But Yang Tian saw a different kind of gleam in the man’s eyes, a gleam like a Superior, an aura accumulated over time.
"It seems this man has an extraordinary identity."
Yang Tian said calmly.
"Let’s rescue him."
Wu Jie laughed and said.
"Alright!"
Yang Tian responded, and the Divine Realm Scripture appeared, emanating a powerful Divine Breath that formed into a Divine Blade.
Bang!
Yang Tian grabbed the Divine Blade and swung it heavily.
A thunderous roar echoed.
The entire Ghost Vehicle was shattered, but the man shook his head, "Don’t bother about me, I am quite comfortable here."
"Although I don’t know who you really are, I think you would be suited to become my subordinate."
Yang Tian said calmly.
Next, it was time to battle across the Seven Realms. To overthrow the Asura Realm’s rule, Yang Tian needed to dominate the other Six Realms and form his own great army.
Time was indeed pressing.
The Asura Realm kept sending strong warriors, and Wu Jun had been struggling to deal with them during this time.
If the Asura Princess fully regained her strength, Yang Tian would likely face total annihilation. Although the Asura Founder was powerful and cunning, there was still a sense of justice.
She merely sent Yang Tian into the Ghost Realm without using her power to destroy him.
For a founder of the Asura Realm, her strength surely surpassed that of the Asura Princess and Great Emperor. If she truly wanted Yang Tian dead, she certainly could have done it.
But she didn’t; she merely plotted to send Yang Tian into the Ghost Realm.
This means she still had some fairness.
But the Asura Princess was different. Yang Tian had killed her father, and she would probably use every means possible to make sure Yang Tian would never be reborn.
"Time is tight, let’s start from the Ghost Realm!"
Yang Tian said, raising the Divine Blade, about to strike the shackles on the man’s hand.
"Stop!"
The man shouted, instinctively retreating.
Yang Tian swung the blade, but missed.
"I see a hint of sadness in your eyes. I don’t know what you’ve been through, but I can assure you, become my subordinate and I will help you reclaim what is yours in the Ghost Realm."
Yang Tian said calmly.
"Haha..."
The man laughed heartily, and after a while, seriously looked at Yang Tian, "If I’m not mistaken, you’re the betrayers of the Divine Realm. Not long ago, the Asura Great Emperor was killed by someone named Yang Tian. I presume you are him?"
"That’s right, it’s me. You seem like a fallen individual; I can help you return to your peak!"
Yang Tian said calmly.
"No need, being bound by Cold Ice Ghost Iron allows my mind to be calm, it’s the end that I deserve."
The man smiled and said.
Yang Tian frowned, a bit displeased.
What had this man experienced to have his heart so dead?
"If I’m not mistaken, the woman you love was taken from you, and she stabbed you in the heart, leaving you in such desolation."
Wu Jie suddenly remarked.
A fierce gleam flashed in the man’s eyes, but he quickly calmed down, saying, "So what if it is? So what if it isn’t?"
"Maybe you still love her, and even if she betrays you, you don’t wish to kill her. But no worries, we can help you out with that."
Wu Jie laughed.
"You wouldn’t dare!" The man’s eyes were filled with killing intent, but he quickly shook his head, "Whether she lives or dies, it’s none of my concern. Even if you kill her, I won’t be happy, nor will I be sad."
"Doesn’t matter, we just want you to watch us kill her."
Wu Jie smiled sweetly.
The man frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "She is now the Ghost King’s woman. If you want to kill her, you’ll have to face the entire Ghost Realm. Fine, if you can release me, I’ll go with you to watch the show."
"You want me to release you? Of course, but you must become my subordinate!"
Yang Tian said sternly.
"Hehe." The man laughed and said seriously, "If you can truly break my shackles and release me, I’ll be your dog!"
"Deal!"
Yang Tian lifted the Divine Blade and struck at the shackles on the man’s hand.
The man raised his shackled hands voluntarily.
Bang!
A booming sound reverberated, but Yang Tian frowned because the Divine Blade, formed from the Divine Realm Scripture, failed to break the shackles on the man’s hands.
Moreover, the Divine Blade only scraped off some sparks on contact.
"Is this Cold Ice Ghost Iron really that strong?"
The Demon Emperor questioned, also launching an attack, but like Yang Tian, he could not break the shackles on the man’s hands at all.
"You see, making me your dog isn’t that easy."
The man said calmly.
"Really? I’d like to see if this Cold Ice Ghost Iron is truly so tough!"
Yang Tian put down the Divine Blade and wielded the Divine Realm Scripture, launching an attack.
Bang!
After a booming sound, the shackles on the man’s hands didn’t even move, let alone break.
"Even the Divine Realm Scripture can’t break these shackles?"
Yang Tian frowned.
"That’s understandable!" Wu Jie stepped forward, picking up Yang Tian’s Divine Blade, and said, "Whether it’s the Divine Blade or the Divine Realm Scripture, they’re merely Divine Artifacts from the Divine Realm. But in the Ghost Realm, they have their own set of Laws. Even if you’re the Asura Great Emperor, once you’re dead, people from the Asura Realm can’t enter the Ghost Realm to retrieve the Asura Great Emperor’s soul, and only after hundreds of thousands of years can the soul be reincarnated from the Ghost Realm."
"Indeed, the Ghost Realm has its own set of Laws, but if I can’t even break this Cold Ice Ghost Iron, how can I talk about ruling the Six Realms?"
Yang Tian said sternly.
"It’s useless. These shackles are made from the Ghost Realm’s most unbreakable Cold Ice Ghost Iron. Not only you, even the most powerful being in the Ghost Realm can’t break them. Just leave, I’ve gotten used to this life."
The man said calmly.
"I don’t believe these shackles can’t be broken!"
Yang Tian turned to grab the Divine Blade and saw Wu Jie holding it, "Wu Jie, give me the Divine Blade!"
"Alright."
Wu Jie handed the Divine Blade to Yang Tian.
Yang Tian shouted and swung the blade at the man’s shackles.
Crash!
At that moment, to everyone’s surprise, the seemingly indestructible shackles were actually broken open.
"What’s going on?"
The man’s eyes were full of surprise.
Even Yang Tian was shocked. Suddenly, he thought of Wu Jie having just held the Divine Blade, feeling that Wu Jie might have done something to it.
He looked at Wu Jie, only to see Wu Jie’s beautiful yet puzzled face, "Huh, Yang Tian, how did you break the Cold Ice Ghost Iron?"
