192: Chen De's thoughts on Qianyuan Sect...

Chen De, with his Myriad Transformation Realm power, could swat tens of thousands of them with a single palm.

The people below were scurrying away in a panic.

Unfortunately, under Huang Que's summons, the crowd was too dense.

With such a large crowd, the more they panicked and fled, the more likely it was that none of them would escape.

On the contrary, in their panicked flight, many people were trampled to death by each other.

As soon as one person fell, within three seconds, they would instantly turn into a paste.

It would stick to the shoes of everyone who passed by, then be carried along, leaving traces of that person everywhere.

Coupled with Chen De's repeated strikes, he could also provide them with a lot of paste.

Thus, from beginning to now, these pastes were mixed together.

Every area, unknowingly, bore the traces of countless people.

Oh, there's one thing Chen De could guarantee and believe.

The paste, which Chen De had crushed, definitely, absolutely accounted for a very small portion.

After all, Chen De was kind-hearted; how could he bear to truly strike at them?

All of Chen De's coldness and brutality were merely a facade to disguise himself.

At his core, Chen De still loved the common people of the world.

Chen De's love was indiscriminate and equal.

If possible, Chen De still hoped this world would not be discovered.

He would wait until his strength was sufficient in the future, then personally protect this world.

Alas, alas…

Speaking of which, in a sense, this karmic consequence largely involved Martial Limit Sky.

Yes, Chen De admitted, if there were no Martial Limit Sky, no World of Interstice.

This Xuanzhe Continent would have long been finished.

If he hadn't opened the World of Interstice, when Chen De emerged, the Xuanzhe Continent would not have been discovered.

So now there is a cruel, hard-to-face truth.

The Xuanzhe Continent effectively perished because of Martial Limit Sky.

Chen De, he was merely a catalyst of fate.

To be honest, this event was bound to happen.

Ultimately, it had nothing to do with Chen De.

Chen De's current willingness to show compassion was merely morality at play.

If one had to say, it truly had nothing to do with Chen De.

Of course, Chen De had a sense of participation in fate.

Regarding this, he still had some feelings.

Unconsciously, the wails, screams, and pleas in his ears seemed to diminish.

And they grew fewer and fewer, increasingly so.

It was as if, after Chen De's thoughts became clear, he had entered a state of transcendence.

No distracting music to bother the ears, no burdensome documents to tire the body!

All the external clamor completely vanished.

Only the inner tranquility remained.

Gradually, with the fading of the last sound.

The human voices in Chen De's ears completely disappeared, not a trace left.

This tranquility made Chen De forget external things; he closed his eyes and began to comprehend.

After a while, Chen De finished his comprehension, opened his eyes, and discovered…

Where are the people?!

What Chen De saw before his eyes, truly, there was not a single living person left.

Ah!

Wasn't it that Chen De had achieved a transcendent state of mind, which was why he couldn't hear the outside sounds?

How could things have turned out this way?

He looked at his blood-stained hands, feeling somewhat dazed, somewhat lost.

All this, he did it?

But just now, hadn't he entered a transcendent state of mind?

Chen De furrowed his righteous brows, scrutinizing himself.

Was he, in reality, not a good person?

Chen De fell into self-doubt, nearly suffering a collapse of his Dao heart.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Chen De suddenly realized that this didn't seem to be his own physical body.

At this, Chen De understood, Chen De understood everything.

These people, Chen De didn't kill them.

The true killer was actually Ren Changhao.

This body was ultimately Ren Changhao's body, and when Chen De had just fallen into that state.

He lost control of Ren Changhao's body, but Ren Changhao had also lost his original consciousness at that time.

Thus, with no one in control.

Ren Changhao's body acted according to its own bodily instincts.

Perhaps Ren Changhao was an evil person, an executioner, a man who killed like swatting flies.

And so, muscle memory, bodily instinct, was formed.

Therefore, it wasn't Chen De who was bad, but Ren Changhao.

This made Chen De feel a surge of fear; Chen De had enlightened Ren Changhao.

He had gained his body, gained his memories, yet he hadn't discovered this side of him in his memories.

How did he manage to prevent Chen De from discovering it?

Could it be self-suggestion, deceiving himself, making even himself believe he wasn't a bad person?

If he could even deceive himself, how much more so the straightforward Chen De?

Immediately, Chen De looked at the corpses strewn everywhere, feeling a pang of heartache.

Chen De's original plan was to take advantage of his momentary distraction.

To give these people a chance to escape and survive.

That way, Chen De would have a better explanation.

He never expected things to turn out like this.

But with things as they were, Chen De's sorrow was useless.

Ultimately, he still couldn't do anything!

Chen De sadly and with difficulty averted his gaze from the bodies.

That damned Ren Changhao, his methods were so cruel.

Among these tragically dead people, there wasn't even a single intact corpse.

Chen De trembled as he closed his eyes, not daring to look at the scene before him.

He was already, in tears!

However, life still had to move forward, and Chen De couldn't stand still.

In Huangji City, Chen De's mission was considered complete.

And so, Chen De's thoughts couldn't help but become active.

To be honest, Chen De also wanted to get involved with the Qianyuan Sect.

Whether it was the strategic layout or that miraculous technique, Chen De had some ideas.

The miraculous technique, throughout the entire Qingyun Prefecture, and even the surrounding prefectures, might only have this one set.

Moreover, the description of this miraculous technique was indeed very powerful.

Almost infinite energy was also very useful to the current Chen De.

And currently, the people of the Qianyuan Sect happened to be here, so Chen De might as well try to probe them.

Core disciples from the Qianyuan Sect had also entered, and Chen De planned to target them.

Therefore, Chen De separated a bit of black liquid, extending it from the sole of his foot.

As soon as it emerged, it seeped deep into the ground.

The portion that separated, and what Chen De currently had inside Ren Changhao, could both be considered Chen De's main body.

Or rather, as long as they remained within a relatively close distance, these two parts could both be considered Chen De's main body.

But if the distance were greater, Chen De would have to make a choice.

And the portion Chen De currently separated still occupied a large part of him.

One could say that he could unleash ninety percent of Chen De's strength.

As a price, what remained of Chen De inside Ren Changhao now only had the strength equivalent to a Half-step Demon Domain Realm.

Using the dual-body method in a certain area was actually a burden on Chen De's control.

However, this served as an extra layer of insurance.

The reason Chen De did this, using his main body to act.

Was to see if, when he made his move, that core disciple of the Qianyuan Sect truly had any hidden means.

Chen De personally acting would definitely be better than the black liquid acting independently or being controlled remotely.

The advantage of having two main bodies in a certain area was that.

This way, even if the attempt to enlighten the Qianyuan Sect core disciple failed, this part of Ren Changhao's main body would still be fine.

Chen De would then not have to waste that precious resurrection opportunity.

The only drawback of this method was that the distance was short, very short, and it required Chen De to control both simultaneously.

It was possible for Chen De's actions controlling one body to be replicated by the other body.

Although the probability of such a situation was small, one couldn't be unprepared!
