Although Wang Chong had managed to shatter the Ifrit’s attack, he had paid for it with heavy injuries.

To use the mortal body of a human against the world-destroying power of the Ifrit—which was continuing to grow stronger as it absorbed more energy out of the void—was a trying task, even for someone of Wang Chong’s strength.

Roooar!

Another roar came from ahead. The flames on the Ifrit’s body blazed as it once more punched in Wang Chong’s direction.

The lava flows were getting closer and closer, and all the water content in the air had already been burned away. Wang Chong could already smell his hair burning, and an immense pressure weighed on his heart.

Even with the help of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, he was not able to completely recover from his injuries in so little time. Even his Stellar Energy was still in chaos at this time.

But Wang Chong had no other options.

If he stood aside, the Tang army behind him would be burned to ash!

“This is it!”

Wang Chong’s eyes focused and exploded with formidable resolve.

Even with his heavy injuries, Wang Chong still chose to fight to the death!

The lava surged toward him, engulfing the world.

Wang Chong’s heart tightened, but just when it seemed like a fierce battle was going to take place…

Bang!

Without the slightest warning, a powerful and bizarre Psychic Energy shot out of Wang Chong’s bosom and struck the Ifrit with lightning-fast speed.

Awooo!

The furious and unstoppable Ifrit suddenly trembled and leaned back, unleashing a howl like it had been struck by a heavy blow. Its aura grew disordered, and the punch it sent toward Wang Chong also rapidly dissolved into sputtering sparks.

“What’s going on here?”

Wang Chong was instantly dumbstruck.

Let alone Wang Chong, even Khatabah was startled, fiercely glaring in Wang Chong’s direction.

“What’s going on? What happened to the Ifrit?”

Khatabah was shaken, his mind in turmoil.

He had been battling with Wang Zhongsi, so he had no time to pay attention to what was happening in the distance. By the time he had noticed, the Ifrit was already injured.

Bang!

In Khatabah’s moment of distraction, a resplendent beam of righteous Sword Qi slashed at Khatabah.

Khatabah grimaced and just barely managed to dodge the attack.

Although Khatabah was stronger than any single person, Wang Zhongsi, Li Junxian, and the King Ape were still capable of threatening him.

Boom! Khatabah punched away Li Junxian, but he did not pursue. His mind was no longer focused on Li Junxian or Wang Zhongsi.

The Ifrit was Khatabah’s most important tool in his conquest of the east, and the smallest change concerning it was of utmost importance. His greatest concern was finding out what had happened to the Ifrit that could cause such a major reaction.

Moreover, if it had been a simple injury, he would not have cared. This was because the Ifrit was almost indestructible, able to swiftly recover no matter what attack it received.

But just a moment ago, the Ifrit had received an unhealable wound, and through its core, Khatabah could sense that it was in extreme pain… and it was afraid!

This was a monster that had once destroyed an entire civilization. What in the world could wound it, even make it afraid?

This was simply unbelievable!

Khatabah was truly stunned.

Wang Chong’s mind was also experiencing a massive shock.

Unlike Khatabah, when that bizarre and powerful Psychic Energy had helped him block the Ifrit’s attack, he had immediately realized its origin.

Nightmare Beast!!

Wang Chong immediately lowered his head, glancing at the Nightmare Beast core hidden in his chest in great consternation.

He clearly remembered that he had sealed the Nightmare Beast. How had it broken the seal?!

“Master, let me help you deal with it!”

In the midst of Wang Chong’s shock, that familiar voice with its bizarre cadence and tone spoke into Wang Chong’s mind. Its consciousness was locked onto the distant form of the Ifrit and was radiating fighting intent.

It felt as if it regarded the Ifrit as a mortal foe!

It really was that creature!

Countless thoughts ran through Wang Chong’s mind, but he quickly composed himself.

“Why did you break your seal, and why did you help me? And also… why do you call me ‘Master’?” Wang Chong sternly said, maintaining his wariness.

He already knew how terrifying the Nightmare Beast was. In the underground, it had killed numerous martial artists. If Wang Chong had not been extremely sharp, he would have died himself.

“Master is Master! You are my master! That man once said that I only needed to protect that place, and then the person I am waiting for would appear after eight hundred years. That person would be my master, and I would fight for him! This was our agreement!”

The Nightmare Beast spoke into Wang Chong’s mind, and its words left Wang Chong in indescribable shock.

Eight hundred years… agreement… master… fight for him… What did all this mean?!

This conversation was definitely not going how Wang Chong had expected.

“Who was that man? Who did you make your agreement with?”

Wang Chong was greatly shaken, but he did not reveal this in his voice.

“That man had many names. He was someone I grew up with, and I always called him Little Grass. But all of you call him Xuanyuan, or the Yellow Emperor! He was my master!” the Nightmare Beast sincerely said.

Boom!

Wang Chong’s mind seethed in turmoil!

The Nightmare Beast’s master was Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan?

How was that possible?

Such information could send great waves through the entire human world. Wang Chong had never expected this, and he had not drawn any clues regarding this from the Nightmare Beast’s memories. And eight hundred years… Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan belonged to the ancient era, and by now… it had been more than eight hundred years, right?

“At the time, I thought it would be only eight hundred years. Now I realize that he meant that the person I was waiting for would only appear after at least eight hundred years. The Origin Immortal Lord also said something similar to me, and I thought that he was tricking me this whole time. He also said that there was disaster in my fate, and only now do I realize that he was right. I really did find the person I was waiting for!

“On you, I sense an energy similar to Little Grass!”

The Nightmare Beast’s voice was extremely excited. It apparently did not care that Wang Chong had killed its physical body.

“The Origin Immortal Lord made a divination for me and said that when I lost my body of flesh, I would find the person I had been awaiting for several thousand years! He really didn’t deceive me!”

Wang Chong was simply speechless. This conversation and all this information were completely beyond his imagination.

He was the Nightmare Beast’s master!

The Nightmare Beast had been waiting for him underground all this time?

Someone had prophesied his appearance several thousand years ago, and that person was Xuanyuan?

This information was simply too mind-blowing, and Wang Chong found it impossible to digest in so little time. Most importantly, why did the Nightmare Beast recognize him as his master? How could it see that he was its master?

As if knowing Wang Chong’s doubts, the Nightmare Beast revealed even more shocking news. “You were able to pull out the Origin Immortal Lord’s sword and activate the Power of Lightning, so you must be my master. I can’t be wrong. In addition, that sword is not called the Origin Immortal Sword, but the Sword of Xuanyuan, Little Grass’s weapon! Over the last several thousand years, no one except you has been able to pull out that sword and activate its power. Not even the Origin Immortal Lord could. He was only the temporary keeper of the sword!”

The Sword of Xuanyuan? Or perhaps one could simply call it the Xuanyuan Sword? Not the Origin Immortal Sword?!

The Origin Immortal Lord had never been able to pull out the Origin Immortal Sword, only acting as its keeper and guardian?!

Wang Chong was learning far too many things at this moment.

He now knew that the Origin Immortal Lord had left many things unspoken back in his cave.

At the very least, Wang Chong was sure that the Origin Immortal Lord had known everything about what the Nightmare Beast had said.

It seems he already knew, but wanted the Nightmare Beast to explain itself?

Given the Origin Immortal Lord’s formidable divination powers, Wang Chong seemed to understand what was going on, but Wang Chong didn’t have time for any more questions.

Roooar!

A furious roar filled with complex emotions came from the Ifrit. At the same time, a savage and wicked mental wave crossed the air.

“It’s you… You alien creatures are not dead yet!”

The massive Ifrit fixed its golden eyes on Wang Chong. No! To be more precise, it was focused on the black core of the Nightmare Beast in Wang Chong’s bosom!

Bang!

Cries of alarm came from all sides. Anyone who had sensed that powerful mental wave, whether Tang or Arab, was stunned.

The Ifrit had a mind?! And it could talk?!

This was simply unbelievable.

This had not been apparent at all before this.

Only the distant Khatabah seemed utterly unperturbed.

The Ifrit naturally had a mind of its own. A creature that had lived for countless years and destroyed numerous civilizations could not be some unthinking idiot. Who could possibly believe such a thing?

In the well under Hamuhad, Khatabah had already understood this.

The Ifrit had never spoken because there had never been anything that it found worthy to speak about.

Just like how humans would not speak with the meek ants below them, the Ifrit disdained to speak with puny humans.

What Khatabah really wanted to know was what exactly was that being the Ifrit spoke to, a being that was seemingly on an equal level of existence.

“Why have you not killed them all yet? What did you encounter?”

Khatabah dodged a heavy strike from the King Ape, at the same time sending a thought into the Ifrit Core in his hand.
