Chapter 1841: 1841
Boom boom boom!
As the final duel between the two Sovereigns began, countless lacerations appeared in the sky . Amid the massive outpour of energy, one could vaguely see some hints of crimson blood dripping to the ground .
The crowd watched with heavy hearts as Sovereign Chen Yong's face turned paler and paler by the moment as he pushed his tattered body beyond the limits .
He had yet to recover from the grievous wounds that he had sustained from the encirclement of countless experts back at the Temple of Confucius when he faced many more battles, and it had only been a moment ago when he was struck squarely by the deity . It was no exaggeration to say that he was already dried up on the inside .
It was really on sheer willpower that he was still standing .
"Sigh…" Zhang Xuan shook his head as he averted his gaze, unwilling to watch the duel any longer .
Despite the close fight between the two experts, he was certain that Sovereign Chen Yong would emerge victorious and slay Sovereign Chen Ling with his own hands .
A fight to the death between two equal experts eventually boiled down to a clash of willpower, and Sovereign Chen Yong's willpower was definitely greater .
At that moment, Zhang Xuan felt deeply conflicted inside . During his time with Sovereign Chen Yong, he had come to respect the latter as a person . Despite the grudges between mankind and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, there was no question that Sovereign Chen Yong was an amazing figure . To be honest, he could not bear to see Sovereign Chen Yong meeting his end .
However, to mankind, Sovereign Chen Yong's demise was probably the best outcome for them . Otherwise, as long as this lynchpin holding the entire Otherworldly Demonic Tribe survived, mankind would always remain in a perilous position .
Sighing deeply, Zhang Xuan turned his attention to the corpse on the ground .
Just like Vicious' body, the corpse of the deity was astoundingly resilient, making it nigh impossible to leave any damage on it . Even though life had already receded from it, it continued to emanate a fearsome aura that kept ordinary humans away from it .
Even Zhang Xuan, who wielded powers equivalent to a Blood Reincarnation realm expert, still felt deeply pressured just by coming close to the corpse .
After swiftly scanning the deity's body, Zhang Xuan shook his head in disappointment .
He had thought that there would be a lot of good items on the deity given that he had come from a higher dimension, but who could have known that the latter would have nothing on him at all?
In fact, there was not even a storage ring to be seen at all .
It's probably because bringing one's possessions across dimensions is either impossible or extremely costly, Zhang Xuan thought as he threw the corpse into his storage ring with a wave of his hand .
While it was regrettable that there were no other treasures to be harvested, the body itself could already be considered as a precious treasure . If he could refine it into a Soulless Metal Humanoid, he would be literally unmatched on the Master Teacher Continent!
Boom boom!
Shortly after Zhang Xuan had finished inspected the deity's body, the battle between the two Sovereigns was also coming to an end . Just as Zhang Xuan had thought, even though Sovereign Chen Ling had recovered significantly from his injuries, he was still no match for the severely wounded Sovereign Chen Yong .
Puhe!
With the flash of a saber, Sovereign Chen Ling's head was lopped in the air . Even as it fell to the ground, one could see disbelief in his eyes .
"H-how could this… be? You are… stronger…"
Those were Sovereign Chen Ling's final words before his eyes slowly closed .
In his final moments, he felt as if everything that he had pursued had been nothing but a distant dream . No matter how much he fought and struggled, even till the very end, he had been unable to surpass the towering figure of Sovereign Chen Yong, not even once .
Putong!
Sovereign Chen Ling's body collapsed lifelessly to the ground .
Seeing that the Young Master was eyeing Sovereign Chen Ling's corpse with glowing eyes, Sovereign Chen Yong hurriedly moved his wearied body over and said, "Young Master, even though Sovereign Chen Ling has done many misdeeds in his life, he's still one of the Sovereigns of the Spirit Tribe . I wish to bury him in the royal mausoleum . "
Despite Sovereign Chen Ling's betrayal, he had still been one of the Sovereigns of the Spirit Tribe . In accordance to the traditions of the Spirit Tribe, he had to be buried in the royal mausoleum .
If he allowed Zhang Xuan to forge a Soulless Metal Humanoid out of Sovereign Chen Ling's corpse, the dignity of the Spirit Tribe would be completely shattered .
"I guess it can't be helped!" Zhang Xuan nodded as he turned his head away regretfully .
"Thank you, Young Master!" Sovereign Chen Yong heaved a sigh of relief before sitting weakly on the ground .
As soon as he sat down, he felt every last bit of energy receding from his body, as if water flowing out of a leaking sack . His cultivation rapidly fell, and it seemed as if he was ageing swiftly .
"Yang Liu, come here…" Sovereign Chen Yong beckoned weakly to the successor that he had chosen .
"Your Majesty…" Liu Yang walked up with reddened eyes .
He had not spent much time with Sovereign Chen Yong, but the latter had always treated him earnestly . He was indebted to the latter .
"My end is coming . You are the only successor of the lineage of Sovereign Chen Yong, and I have imparted my complete heritage to you . I shall bestow upon you one final gift!"
