384: Goodbye, Big Brother

Qiong Guang poked his head out, and from his perspective, he did not see Chen De.

There was only a fist the size of a sandbag, heading straight for his face.

This sudden turn of events made Qiong Guang's soul fly, and he quickly mobilized all the power he could.

But he had only poked his head out, and the fist was getting closer and closer.

Now, whether Qiong Guang chose to pull his head back or fully extend his body, it seemed to be too late.

After a dull thud.

His brains splattered everywhere, which truly baffled him.

For most cultivators, the head is the most important part.

Once it's gone, death is usually not far off.

But Qiong Guang was a Dominator; a part of his will was imprinted in the World Authority Artifact.

Back then, Lord Li was completely annihilated by Chen De, yet he could reappear through the Authority.

Qiong Guang had only poked his head out now; everything below his neck and the Authority Artifact were still within the world.

Chen De, however, directly reached in and pulled out Qiong Guang's remaining headless body.

This was still a place relatively close to his own world.

By the time Chen De pulled him out, his skull had almost regenerated.

Without even needing to search, he snatched the silver spear from Qiong Guang's hand.

These Dominators liked to carry their Authority Artifacts with them when they went out.

They probably feared someone taking advantage of their absence to invade and usurp their position.

As for Qiong Guang's body in his hand, Chen De directly refined him, gaining about 300,000 to nearly 400,000 attribute points.

Then, holding the constantly struggling silver spear, he could clearly sense the emotions emanating from within it.

But if curses and hatred could kill.

Chen De, as the Supreme Holy Mother, a thorn in the side of evil people.

Having disturbed the interests of so many major powers and done so many good deeds, he would have died countless times over.

The reason he dared to act just now was because Chen De had been waiting outside in advance.

After the system map detected that Qiong Guang, in his Dominator state, was only at his level.

Chen De was reassured and directly launched a surprise attack.

He punched and exploded the part of Qiong Guang's head that was outside the world.

A Dominator's Authority has an effect in places close to, but outside, their world.

But inside the world and outside the world are two different concepts.

Inside, even in the most peripheral areas, one can enjoy the full power of a Dominator.

But outside, even if very close, the effect will be greatly diminished.

So why would Chen De hesitate? Even in his complete and peak state, he was only at Chen De's level.

Once outside, he was even weaker; such a good opportunity certainly couldn't be missed.

After dealing with Qiong Guang, Chen De injected a large amount of black liquid into the silver spear.

Having done all this, he held the silver spear and walked towards the entrance.

The silver spear seemed to realize where Chen De was going, and its struggles noticeably lessened.

After entering, Chen De threw out the silver spear, allowing Qiong Guang's figure to condense before him.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong!"

This was the first thing Qiong Guang said to Chen De after reappearing.

Chen De smiled and said, "Little brother never said I was weak; big brother misunderstood."

"Since you have such strength and the intention to get rid of me."

"Why didn't you take me down during our first encounter?"

"At that time, with the strength you displayed, it would have been much easier than now."

Qiong Guang certainly didn't believe Chen De's words, and he continued to ask his questions.

"Oh."

Chen De only replied with an "Oh."

Upon hearing this, Qiong Guang shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

He knew that he was doomed today.

Anyone with such powerful Venerable combat strength would surely have equally formidable Dominator combat strength.

Would such a person not know the secrets within the Authority Artifact?

The fact that the other party knew and still dared to bring him back meant they must have a way to deal with him.

For example, the mysterious black liquid injected into the silver spear.

"Can you spare my life?"

Understanding his predicament, Qiong Guang still didn't want to give up his last shred of hope for survival.

Anyone who cultivated to the Heavenly Imperial Realm understood one principle: survive first!

Chen De smiled but remained silent, but Qiong Guang already understood his meaning.

"This is... truly unwilling!"

As his words fell, formless and colorless flames ignited on Qiong Guang's body.

Clearly, he was going to fight to the death.

But he was right; the black liquid Chen De injected was specifically for such scenarios.

Qiong Guang's illusory figure was completely dyed black right before Chen De's eyes.

With a wave of his hand, the silver spear floated over to his hand on its own.

From then on, this small world belonged to Chen De.

What it was called before didn't matter; he was too lazy to care.

But from now on, it would be Ren Realm, one of the Holy Mother Sect's subordinate small worlds.

If De Realm showcased Chen De's morality, then Ren Realm showcased his benevolence.

Erasing Qiong Guang's imprint, the silver spear was transformed back into the appearance of a primordial World Authority Artifact for imprinting.

This time, a silver curved blade, like moonlight, appeared before Chen De.

Subsequently, he released the Holy Mother Sect members from the Firmament Continent, as well as the experimental department personnel and equipment he had brought.

To make space for them, Chen De specifically used the authority of the World Lord to clear a large area for them.

As for any missing materials, they could freely collect them on the continent.

If they needed anything from the Four Profound Heavens, Chen De could also go and procure it.

Just like De Realm, he separated a portion of the black liquid to inherit the position of Dominator.

With the strength of roughly a two-step Dominator, as long as Ren Realm kept moving, problems would basically not arise.

Research into the Black Robed Heavenly Will, he believed, would yield results very soon.

As for what came next, Chen De should leave.

Increasing his strength required a large number of attribute points, and staying here would clearly not provide many.

Even all the living beings in the entire Ren Realm combined probably wouldn't exceed 400,000.

This was also why Chen De gave up on purifying this place; as the saying goes, balance between good and evil.

Once all evil here was eliminated, the final result would be the birth of an even more terrifying evil demon.

Leave a line in all things; for the peace of the common people, Chen De, no matter how much he hated evil, could only endure.

Regarding the management system of Ren Realm, Chen De had instructed them to continue following the model of the Firmament Continent.

Additionally, he asked them to build a Supreme Holy Mother Palace, even larger and grander than the original.

It wasn't that Chen De loved vanity; he mainly wanted to give the common people something to do.

As the saying goes, when one is well-fed, one thinks of lust; when people are too idle, they tend to cause trouble, especially bad trouble.

From the source, he had to prevent such situations from happening.

This way, it solved both employment and sustenance problems, and also made the entire Ren Realm more stable.

With this matter concluded, Chen De should continue his travels.

This time, he was determined to max out the Slaughter Law and see what level he could reach.

The space trembled slightly, and Chen De had vanished from his original spot.
