Chapter 257 - - 255 Chaos is the Main Theme_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Half a month later.

Shi Chunqi, Luo Cang, Niu Zilian, Qi Zongwang, and Yin Juntang gathered together, looking at each other with grim expressions on their faces.

Niu Zilian and Qi Zongwang from Blue Sea Palace had lost their sects, while the others didn’t even dare to return to their own anymore.

They feared that no sooner had they set foot back in their sects than Wang Chong would attack, leaving them no place to escape.

…

The unrest that broke out across the region also had them as instigators behind the scenes. They had been following in Duge’s footsteps, investigating everything about him.

Shi Chunqi and the two from Blue Sea Palace witnessed the scene where Duge subdued Blue Sea Palace.

Mahayana Stage masters were stripped bare in an instant, their limbs removed, and during the battle, they were subject to kidney extractions and sewing, liver extractions and sewing…

Even Mahayana masters couldn’t break through Duge’s defenses and were toyed with like objects, utterly powerless to resist, shocking them on the spot.

Mahayana!

Duge’s cultivation level was at least at Mahayana Stage.

No.

Higher than Mahayana Stage.

Especially Shi Chunqi, who thought he had overestimated Duge’s cultivation level, ranking it at the Void Refinement Realm, felt his face burn with embarrassment.

The error was too big.

One might mistake the Divinity Transformation Realm for the Void Refinement Realm.

But to mistake the Mahayana Stage for the Void Refinement Realm could result in death without even knowing how one died.

Meanwhile, Luo Cang and Yin Juntang from Longevity Residence had witnessed the scene of Mo Yingjun being killed in Daqing Country. The two were also shocked, shrinking back into the crowd, not daring to say a word, for fear that they would disturb Duge and he would pluck their heads off as well.

…

“It’s not economic, his secret keywords are definitely not economic,” Shi Chunqi scratched his hair into a mess, his eyes bloodshot, even the keyword’s repair couldn’t recover it, “Wang Chong’s economic system collapsed long ago, but he seems unaffected, even more formidable than before, his keywords are definitely not economic…”

“Stop talking nonsense, even an idiot can see now that Wang Chong’s keywords have nothing to do with economics. Creating the stock market was just a smokescreen for him,” Niu Zilian said.

“He’s disguised his keywords too well,” Yin Juntang said, “A terrifying enemy.”

“But what are his keywords?” Luo Cang frowned deeply, “Without figuring out his keywords, we can’t weaken him, and if he can beat the Mahayana Stage so easily, who else could possibly be his opponent?”

“What the hell, which planet did this madman pop out from? It hasn’t even been four months since the start, and he’s already forged a rhythm of a grand battle, dragging all sects into it,” Qi Zongwang complained.

A single sentence.

Everyone fell silent.

Despair spread among the crowd.

Duge’s pace was too rapid, leaving them directionless even in terms of development.

“We have less than eight hundred people left,” Shi Chunqi glanced at his panel and sighed somberly, “In less than a month, another more than two hundred people were eliminated by Wang Chong. I can’t figure out how he did it?”

“High enough attribute rewards, plus the Mahayana Stage divine consciousness coverage, a wide detection range, any careless talk might get caught by him,” Luo Cang said, “Moreover, with so many people causing trouble and exposing themselves, it’s no wonder they die when they encounter an executioner like Wang Chong.”

“Chaos, could his keyword possibly be chaos?” Yin Juntang suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation.

Everyone was stunned.

Yin Juntang continued, “He introduced the stock market in an Immortal Martial World, disrupting the normal social order. We destroyed his stock market, causing severe turbulence to society which indirectly aided him. Therefore, he has not weakened, but has become more formidable than before.”

“Fucking brilliant,” Luo Cang’s face changed immediately, “It’s most likely chaos. Using economics as a front, chaos as the essence, he wins whether he succeeds or fails. We are all being led by the nose by him.”

“Since ancient times, chaos has given rise to the most skills,” Niu Zilian said, “Frequently stripping people’s clothes, removing their limbs, it’s also related to chaotic skills.”

“Order and stability are the nemesis of chaos.” Yin Juntang said, “To counter Wang Chong, we need to find the warriors associated with these key words and help Yan Country quickly restore order.”

“To think that we have actually helped Wang Chong bring chaos to the world and indirectly increased his strength makes me feel like a complete blockhead.” Shi Chunqi said.

“Who would have thought he would use the economy as a pretext to foster chaos!” Luo Cang laughed bitterly, “Now is not the time for complaints; we need to find a way to spread Wang Chong’s key words. Otherwise, by allowing others to continue creating turmoil, Wang Chong’s strength will only grow stronger, and by then, we will have no way out…”

“We also need to inform the sects that haven’t been conquered by Wang Chong to avoid him for now.” Niu Zilian said, “Otherwise, if all the sects are conquered by Wang Chong, even if we reorganize the world’s order, Wang Chong could use his forces to trigger another wave of chaos. By then, we will be truly out of options, and moreover, we won’t even be able to find any help, for our realms are too low.”

“The most crucial thing is to prevent Wang Chong from inciting a great war between good and evil, a war between mortals and the Cultivation World.” Qi Zongwang added, “War is the best ally of chaos. Once war breaks out, it will be much too difficult to quell.”

“Okay, let’s take separate actions then.” Luo Cang stood up, “It would be best to contact more people to join us in opposing Wang Chong.”

“There will be. Chaos is the common enemy of all, and without clearing out the chaos, no one has a chance of winning.” Shi Chunqi nodded and said.

“By the way, since things have come to this point, should we share our own key words with each other?” Yin Juntang said, “At this point, keeping guard against each other is meaningless.”

Just as everyone had been buzzing with excitement, they fell into silence once again.

Exposing key words meant revealing one’s trump cards to others, and on the Alien Battlefield, it was a matter of kill or be killed.

Moreover.

Each person was responsible for countless lives; who would dare to lightly reveal their trump cards?

After Wang Chong’s death, what if an ally turned against them?

Yin Juntang helplessly sighed and chuckled dryly, waving his hands, “Never mind, forget I said anything. Let’s use whatever resources we have at our disposal to deal with Wang Chong for now!”

…

After Luo Cang and his small team deduced Duge’s key word and took targeted actions,

Elsewhere.

Lang He and Yan Shengtian also joined forces.

Once the two confirmed that they came from the same planet through a secret sign, they collaborated with great enthusiasm.

Then.

After carefully analyzing Wang Chong’s key words, they also arrived at a similar conclusion regarding chaos.

However.

Unlike Luo Cang and his team, who focused on sorting out order from chaos, the fully cooperative duo proposed a new plan.

Find the main storyline!

To topple Wang Chong through the main storyline.

The secret manual that Ranger Yan Shengtian found in an ancient ruin led him to vaguely guess that re-opening the path to ascension and retrieving the divine skills of the ancient Cultivation World may be the key to breaking the situation.

Yan Shengtian’s key word was “Theft,” while Lang He’s key word was “Disguise.”

Their key words perfectly complemented each other, enough to allow them to penetrate the depths of each sect and seek out the secrets of the Ancient Era…

…

Nevertheless.

Duge’s territory kept expanding, and the secrets of the past could no longer be guarded.

Every action he took, every deed he had done, was pried open and meticulously studied and dissected.

Every Alien Warrior treated him as their biggest enemy, trying to weaken him through various means while strengthening themselves.

But as more and more people were killed by Duge, most of the warriors’ activities shifted underground.

They had willingly lain low before, but now they were forced to!

Under Duge’s heavy-handed policies, just sticking your head out could mean getting killed…
