Chapter 547: Completely Insane!!

The Sun Halo Ring was part of the Celestial Emperor's divine armament, and it was intact.

As the Child of Destiny suited to the Sun Halo Ring, Ah Dou could freely wield part of its power, within the limits of his own cultivation.

Even an Immortal King couldn't fully suppress it.

Ah Dou's attack on an Immortal King with the Sun Halo Ring wouldn't have much effect.

But if he used it to attack himself, that should work just fine.

Looking at Ah Dou, restrained in midair, He Xiangdong tried to comfort him.

“Ah Dou, don't do anything foolish... There's still a chance, there's still a chance!”

Ah Dou gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

“Strategist, I can't let them capture me alive!

They want to turn me into a weapon and make me slaughter my family, my friends, my people!

If one day I have to use my own hands, my own abilities, to hurt you, to hurt all those people who gave their lives so I could survive...

What use is being a Child of Destiny then?!

I absolutely won't let that happen. Absolutely not!!

Sun Halo Ring!

If you still acknowledge me as your master, attack me and kill me!!”

All that could be said was that Ah Dou's fear was justified.

At the end of the sixth simulation,

Ah Dou appeared in a way no one could understand. His body, talent, and abilities had all become part of the enemy.

The Sun Halo Ring began to shine brighter. Its heat, enough to set grass and trees ablaze, started gathering around Ah Dou.

The Hurricane Immortal King unleashed a biting gale, but he was afraid of blowing Ah Dou to death outright. Ah Dou had counted on this, leaving him unable to act freely.

“Stop! Zhong Yanqing! If you kill yourself, I'll order the Peace Bureau to wipe out every member of the Human Race on Vermilion Violet Star!”

Ah Dou laughed out loud.

“Kill us! Go ahead!! The crazier you get, the more foolish mistakes you'll make! Your end is near!!”

He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin had fallen to the ground, barely clinging to life. Watching Ah Dou kill himself, their hearts twisted with anguish.

“Child... We should have done more!”

Ah Dou spoke sincerely.

“Strategist He, you are all extraordinary people. I'm proud to have once been one of you!”

Ji Wuqing crawled out of the crater. Softhearted as she was, she watched Ah Dou take his own life, tears already streaming down her face.

“Little Brother Zhong, your big sister couldn't help you...”

Ah Dou looked at Ji Wuqing and smiled.

“Sister Wuqing, you're a heroine. No one blames you... I'm sorry. I was young back then and spoke without thinking...”

“Your big sister never blamed you!”

The Sun Halo Ring's energy focused on a single point and slammed into Ah Dou's chest, piercing straight through him!

The Hurricane Immortal King intervened with a heavy blow, but all he managed to do was knock the Sun Halo Ring away. Its attack on Ah Dou still landed.

“Damn it!”

The Hurricane Immortal King's voice sounded furious.

Ah Dou, now barely breathing, laughed triumphantly.

“Hahaha... What a load of crap, calling yourselves Immortal Kings! In the end... I still won!!”

The Holy Dragon Society's goal was to capture the Children of Destiny alive and use them.

Since the capture had failed, Ah Dou had indeed won.

At the same time, you, who had used “Guangzhi, Save Me” to take the blow, finally recovered.

Your body reformed, and your consciousness returned to it.

You looked around, and suddenly felt a chill in your heart.

“Ah Dou, you...”

You could sense that Ah Dou's life was rapidly approaching its end.

“Uncle Chen, you're still alive?”

Seeing that you were alive, Ah Dou was greatly relieved.

Ji Wuqing also covered her mouth in surprise, tears spilling uncontrollably from her eyes.

You noticed the horrifying wound in Ah Dou's chest. Its edges were charred black, and waves of scorching heat radiated from it.

It didn't look like the Hurricane Immortal King's attack.

“The Sun Halo Ring... Did you kill yourself?”

“Uncle Chen, I couldn't let them capture me alive!”

“Why do something so foolish? Didn't we agree we'd go back to our hometown for a visit...”

“There was no choice. I can't go back... Uncle Chen, hurry and go. Take Sister Wuqing with you...”

At that moment, the Hurricane Immortal King was using his Divine Art to save Ah Dou's life.

It was utterly absurd.

You didn't stop him. In fact, you very much hoped the Hurricane Immortal King would succeed.

Unfortunately, even an Immortal King couldn't pull someone back once one foot had crossed into the King of Hell's palace.

Ah Dou had completely given up on living.

Under his control, the Sun Halo Ring's attack shattered his soul as well.

The Hurricane Immortal King was powerless to turn things around.

“What kind of integrity... for a Child of Destiny to possess...”

The Hurricane Immortal King had seen quite a few Children of Destiny.

He had seen plenty of them fight desperately when driven into a corner.

But this was the first time he'd seen one choose to kill himself rather than let the enemy succeed.

Ah Dou was dead. His body fell from the sky.

You reached out with a massive hand, caught him, and gathered him into your arms.

You could no longer sense anything of Ah Dou.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner, pushing against the power of the Immortal King's domain, struggled its way out of Pot Heaven space.

Seeing Ah Dou grow cold in your arms, a gaping hole in his body, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner flew into a rage.

“I'm gonna fucking kill them all!! I swear, I won't rest until I avenge this! I'll be damned if I don't!!”

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was about to charge in by itself.

Behind it, a whole crowd of Immortal Artifacts were climbing out of Pot Heaven space, shouting that they wanted to join the fight.

You grabbed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, your voice cold.

“Wait.”

“Wait for what?! If you're scared, you little punk, I'll look down on you for the rest of my life!!”

“I'm not scared. We need to wait.”

“Wait for what?!”

Before your eyes appeared a notification only you could see.

Time until the next trait tag draw: 00:10:03.

You turned to look at He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin.

They were both just as close to death. Their bodies were so badly wounded they were painful to look at, their flesh torn and bloody.

He Xiangdong shook his head at you.

“Go. Stay alive...”

With that, He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin drew their last breaths.

You walked over and brushed your hand across the eyelids of He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin, closing their eyes, which were still open.

“Rest in peace. You did everything you could.”

The wind howled in the sky, and a sense of even greater oppression descended.

Another Immortal King had arrived!

The Hurricane Immortal King spoke with this second Immortal King and explained the situation.

The second Immortal King gave a cold snort.

“The Child of Destiny is dead. Why keep these two Torch Society remnants around? Kill them!”

The Hurricane Immortal King said, “That woman is from the Ji family. As for the man, I suspect he's also a Child of Destiny.”

“He isn't.”

“He doesn't look like one, but...”

“Kill him!”

“Very well.”

They discussed whether you and Ji Wuqing should live or die as casually as if they were talking about whether two stray dogs by the roadside were worth killing.

Under the pressure of the gale, Ji Wuqing struggled to make her way to your side.

“Are we going to die?”

You remained expressionless, watching the countdown reach its end.

“Not necessarily.”

You suddenly turned your head toward the edge of the void and spoke to yourself in another dimension.

“Activate Venom!!!”

In the real world, Chen Yi had been waiting for a long time.

“Fuck them! Let's go completely insane!!!”
