Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Booooooom!!!

Groooaaan!!!

What happened?!!!

Before Xie Clan Leader could finish speaking, a loud explosion suddenly occurred and the ground shook violently, causing everyone to be unable to stand.

Back to the battlefield between Zheng-Fu and Tiger Sword City Governor...

When the two used their strongest skill with enormous energy, the two skills clashed, creating a huge energy explosion wave that was hundreds of meters wide. And its enormous destructive energy caused more than half of Black Rock City to be destroyed in an instant, from the center and continuously expanding.

And at the point where the explosion occurred, there were three figures. The condition of the three of them was not very good. Especially the Tiger Sword City Governor, not only was he injured in the previous clash, but he was also affected by his blood sacrifice ritual and transformation. At that time, he was like someone who was about to die.

As for the second person, Zheng-Fu, even though he was able to fight the Tiger Sword City Governor, he could not withstand all of that violent attack. He was also injured by the energy wave from the explosion just now, causing many wounds on his body, both deep and lacerated, which were terrifying. But even so, they were not fatal. If he took some time to recover, he would be able to return to normal.

The last person was the Black Rock City Governor. He had already been injured by the effects of blood sacrifice, so he hid in a safe area. However, the force of the explosion was so strong that he was also injured. Although it was not as severe as Zheng-Fu and Tiger Sword City Governor, he definitely would not be able to recover in a short period.

Auuugh!!!

"Wha… why? Why… auugh… why is it like this?! I… I… I have… a chance… but why did you… auugh… obstruct me!" The Tiger Sword City Governor tried to speak, but his injuries were too severe, so he stuttered and occasionally choked on blood.

Flap!!!

Augh!

"That's because you're greedy... augh! If you weren't so greedy and chose to develop along with your comrades, you wouldn't have met such an end. It's all your fault!" Zheng-Fu slowly stood up, before he found a backrest to steady himself and replied to the Tiger Sword City Governor in a serious and pitiful tone.

Huh!

"That's it! But no ... auugh... matter what, I must ... auuugh... always be like this... It's... it's... my way. Auuugh… and this is the end of me. This world is so unfair…"

Tiger Sword City Governor finally breathed his last. He tried to finish his words and blamed everything but himself. He thought that he had been treated unfairly all along, so why couldn't he succeed when given the chance? But no matter how he thought about it, it would not help because he could not live anymore.

[Test 1/10; Collect the souls of 430,099/1,000,000 evil demons]

After the Tiger Sword City Governor died, Zheng-Fu's mission message appeared again, showing him the scores he had received at that time. However, it was much higher than before. The original number of souls he had collected before starting the plan was just over two hundred thousand. And after he started his plan and many demons from the Demon Race and generals were killed, evil souls kept increasing.

Even from the two City Governors who were killed just a while ago, Zheng-Fu also received evil souls, even though he did not kill them himself. That made Zheng-Fu very suspicious, but because it was not the time to find the answer then, he ignored it. Until the message popped up again when the Tiger Sword City Governor died, showing him that the evil souls he had received since the beginning of the plan were nearly seventy thousand.

Pheeew!!!

Zheng-Fu felt extremely tired. He had lost so much energy that he was almost out of strength. Fortunately, he had the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity clone figure by his side, allowing him to stand up straight. But then, the moment he felt like his body wanted to rest, the energy level within his body suddenly changed abruptly, and an explosion rang out from his Dan-Tian Point.

Booooooom!!!

The ninth level of the Deity Monarch Stage!

Not only did Zheng-Fu obtain a large number of evil souls, but he also gained more benefits from the battle. His energy level had increased by two levels, from seventh to ninth. This was an extremely rapid development. All of this was thanks to his Deity Cultivation Technique and the resources his mother-in-law had given him before he came there.

If he had not obtained those two things, Zheng-Fu did not know how long it would take him to reach this point, and how long it would take for all the tasks on this floor of the testing tower to be completed.

"With my current energy level, facing a third-level Great Deity Stage cultivator like the Tiger Sword City Governor wouldn't be a big deal anymore. But that would only mean one-on-one combat. If there were more than two enemies, I wouldn't be able to fight. So, I have to become stronger!"

Although Zheng-Fu felt that he had become stronger, he was still not satisfied and wanted to become even stronger. Although he could fight people at the third level of the Great Deity Stage, it was only a one-on-one combat. If there were more than one person on the other side with that energy level, he would be the one who lost.

Au… auuugh!

Flap!

Cough! Cough!

Suddenly, a faint cough sounded from under the rubble not far away. Zheng-Fu could sense who it was, so he quickly went to help remove the debris and used his energy to lift that body out. That person was none other than the seriously injured Black Rock City Governor.

"It seems that you have survived. But with this condition, not dying is like dying, right?" Zheng-Fu looked at Black Rock City Governor's condition and could not help but feel sorry for him. Because he was no different from a disabled person. Black Rock City Governor's energy was very low, and his body was so thin that it was unrecognizable.

Auuugh!

"My life has come to an end. I knew that something like this would definitely… auugh... happen one day. But I didn't think it would come this fast! Cough... cough!" The Black Rock City Governor tried to use his remaining energy to talk to Zheng-Fu.

"Tell me your wish. If I can help, I will!" Zheng-Fu nodded at the Black Rock City Governor before asking for his final wish.

"I want nothing more than to die peacefully and be properly buried." The Black Rock City Governor did not have a family. He was all alone. Hence, the only thing he wished for in his last moments was to die peacefully and have someone give him a proper burial. That was his final request.

"I'll do as you wish. But before you die, I have something I want to ask for, and I hope you will agree!" And of course, Zheng-Fu also had a request. What he wanted from the Black Rock City Governor was all the data the other party had, because it would help him clear the mission more easily.

"I have nothing to lose anymore, take whatever you want."

Black Rock City Governor did not know what Zheng-Fu wanted from him, but he willingly gave it to Zheng-Fu. Because he could not refuse anything at that time anyway.

Thank you!

Blop!

[Spirit Seal Skill: First stage; Truth-seeking]

Aaaaaah...

Fifteen minutes passed...

After Zheng-Fu used his Spirit Seal Skill to search for data from the Black Rock City Governor for fifteen minutes, he finally got everything he wanted. When he withdrew the skill, the Black Rock City Governor breathed his last and died peacefully instantly.

"I'll do as you wish. And to prevent anyone from disturbing your soul, I will bury you in my secret dimensional space!" Zheng-Fu was a man who always kept his promises. When he promised the Black Rock City Governor that he would properly bury the other party, he did as he said. And the most peaceful and undisturbed place was within his secret dimensional space.

Having made up his mind, Zheng-Fu sent Black Rock City Governor's body there before ordering the dimensional space to begin the process of burying his body in a suitable spot. Once this was done, he sent a message to Lin-Jun to inform him of all the results.

Not long after, Lin-Jun and the group that participated in Zheng-Fu's plan reunited at the contest arena in the city center, which had turned into ruins.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, are you all right?" When Lin-Jun arrived, he immediately approached Zheng-Fu and asked Zheng-Fu with concern.

"My condition is as you can see. Although I survived, I don't have much energy left. By the way, how is our plan?" Zheng-Fu smiled and answered Lin-Jun before asking about the task he had given Lin-Jun and the others to do.

"We've killed almost all of Black Rock City Governor's soldiers, the commanders, and the evildoers. But some of them survived because they surrendered. We haven't done anything to them yet and are waiting for you to decide what to do with them!" Lin-Jun did his job well. He quickly reported the results to Zheng-Fu with pride and delight.

"That's good. Actually, I didn't intend to kill them all, but we can't let them go. The incident today is a big deal. The Demon Race will definitely not sit idly by if they find out that we're rebelling. So, lock them up first. By the way, ... Ah!"

Zheng-Fu nodded in satisfaction at the answer. Before he decided to lock up the soldiers and others who used to be on the same side as the Black Rock City Governor but had surrendered to them. But at that moment, he noticed that Du Clan Leader was standing with them. He stopped talking and stared at Du Clan Leader with cold eyes.

"Master Leader Du-Bu-Pai decided to join our plan. He was willing to risk becoming a rebel with us. Only the Xie Clan and a few other clans chose not to join. And they're currently waiting outside and preparing to leave," Lin-Jun immediately explained, seeing Zheng-Fu's unfriendly gaze toward Du-Bu-Pai.

"Umm, I got it! If they want to leave, then let them go. The most important thing right now is to restore the city to normal. In addition, we need to send people to investigate Thorn Forest City, Tiger Sword City, and Stream Cloud City to see what's going on. I believe that the news of today's battle must have spread. And the absence of their leaders in the three cities could cause trouble!"

Zheng-Fu did not care about the group of people who wanted to leave. Anyway, he could not force everyone to agree with his idea. What he was more interested in was the movement of the three cities, which were currently without City Governors to control and rule them. He believed that the three cities must have been in an uproar.

All right! I'll do so!
