581: In vain sorrow

So Sorrowful Disciple could not have imagined that he would encounter someone who had mastered a Divine Ability, and whose realm seemed to be similar to his own.

If no accidents occurred, breaking through to the late stage of the Immortal Law Realm could be said to be a certainty.

Similarly, he was definitely no match for a powerhouse who possessed a Divine Ability.

Moreover, what the opponent mastered was clearly an offensive-type Divine Ability.

Sorrowful Disciple had completely stopped thinking about a counter-kill; now he had only one thought: to survive.

"Come on! So what if you have a Divine Ability? Today, it's either you die or I perish!"

Between life and death, great courage and determination naturally erupted; he was going to go all out.

As long as he could get out of here, with the Pavilion Master's strength, even if the opponent had mastered a Divine Ability, they would definitely be no match.

Subsequently, Sorrowful Disciple actually chose to directly burn his origin, causing his power to surge significantly.

But such strength was only temporary and might not necessarily reach the opponent's level.

Trapped here, he had no other way now but to fight to the death.

Seeing his posture of mutual destruction, Chen De became even more cautious.

He would never want to encounter something like failing miserably in an easy task for the rest of his life.

As Sorrowful Disciple took the initiative to charge forward, the two sides clashed again.

The result was much as Sorrowful Disciple had expected; he was indeed no match for Yun Che—or rather, Chen De.

He was suppressed throughout the entire fight, with no advantage other than being slightly superior in combat experience.

In just one ten-thousandth of a breath's time, they could exchange over a million moves.

In most cases, Sorrowful Disciple was on the defensive, while Chen De only attacked without defending.

He allowed lower-damage attacks to land on him, only taking action to defend against high-damage ones.

In any case, his recovery ability was strong; the moment damage landed on his body, it immediately vanished.

Compared to him, Sorrowful Disciple was in a much more miserable state. His recovery ability was far inferior to Chen De's, and since he was mostly taking hits passively, his injuries accumulated and grew heavier.

During their fight, this Small World had long since turned into scorched earth, shattered into pieces.

Sorrowful Disciple's appearance was also wretched; with every strike of Chen De's blade, a piece of his flesh was sliced off.

From the neck down, he looked like a skeleton; no flesh remained on his bones, which were stripped clean and shiny.

In terms of handling a blade, Chen De was quite accomplished.

If an ordinary person saw Sorrowful Disciple's current appearance, they would certainly be terrified.

If a Mortal Realm being suffered such injuries, they might not die, but they would almost certainly lose their combat effectiveness.

Among the various systems, except for those related to the mental aspect like God Cultivation, all other systems were heavily dependent on the physical body.

Even though Sorrowful Disciple was at the Immortal Law Realm Fifth Transformation, having his flesh sliced away caused him to lose much of his combat power.

And the flesh that had been sliced off was consumed by the space where it fell.

Chen De could already clearly feel Sorrowful Disciple's weakness; he was reaching his limit.

It wasn't that he was about to die, but rather that he could no longer withstand this state.

"I never expected that after roaming the universe for hundreds of millions of years, I would fall here today, in the Small World I created myself."

Seeming to have understood his end, Sorrowful Disciple instead began to wax sentimental.

"Hundreds of millions of years have passed in a flash, but for me, what I miss most is the time before I became an immortal."

He was born on an obscure planet and lost both his parents at a young age.

The cultivation civilization on that planet was extremely backward, with the highest level being only the Myriad Transformation Realm.

Growing to his current level in such an environment had been an incredibly arduous journey.

Being betrayed, poisoned, assassinated, deceived, hunted down... what hadn't he experienced?

It could be said that he had personally witnessed and experienced countless human tragedies.

So before becoming an immortal, he always had a dream: to make people no longer sorrowful or in pain.

But after becoming an immortal, he forgot this dream of his.

His goal changed; it became the pursuit of greater power and a higher realm.

His former dream had merely turned into a slogan like Wangyou Stream.

In truth, Sorrowful Disciple had long since stopped caring about whether sorrow was forgotten or not.

But as he approached death, he suddenly recalled all of this.

Then, a look of madness appeared in his eyes; he actually intended to detonate his Internal World to perish together with Chen De.

"Come on! If you can still survive after this strike, then I'll accept it!"

self-detonation!

This move could be said to be quite ruthless; if not the other person, he himself would certainly be doomed.

He didn't know if Chen De would be blown to death, but such a massive disturbance would almost certainly attract the Tianyou Pavilion Master.

When that time came, even if Chen De hadn't died, he would be thoroughly dead.

Unfortunately, he had already missed the best opportunity; Chen De had been on guard the whole time.

During the battle just now, he had been using the black liquid to continuously invade Sorrowful Disciple's body.

Actually, using this move from the start would have worked too, just like how he dealt with those people when he first arrived in the Upper Plane.

Continuously invading the opponent's body during combat and then occupying it.

This time, Chen De's main reason for acting was to practice his skills while ensuring his own safety.

In fact, from the moment he swallowed this Small World, Sorrowful Disciple no longer had any chance.

Sure enough, the moment Sorrowful Disciple wanted to self-detonate, he found that he could no longer control his body.

He could still send a thought to his Internal World, but at this moment, he could not feel its existence at all.

It was as if he had never possessed it, which was simply incredible.

When did this happen? How did he do it? To think he had such means.

Seeing that his final means of mutual destruction was completely useless, Sorrowful Disciple fell silent.

He smiled. "Fine, fine. Since I am destined to die today anyway, why care about what happens after?"

Now, Chen De was pressed right up against him, with black liquid continuously gushing out from his body.

Before long, it completely enveloped Sorrowful Disciple.

With Sorrowful Disciple's help, Chen De's cultivation surged forward once more, reaching the middle stage of the Demon Venerable Realm Fifth Transformation.

From this moment on, with the exception of a very few individuals, he would have no rivals among those in the Fifth Transformation.

After also obtaining Sorrowful Disciple's memories, a warning bell inevitably rang in Chen De's heart.

At the level he was currently at, powerful experts had already begun to come across clues regarding the Evil God.

And the Evil God was indeed comparable to the Divine Tribulation Realm, so its enemies must also be at the Divine Tribulation Realm.

From now on, his use of the Evil God's power must be even more secretive.

If even someone like Sorrowful Disciple knew a little, wouldn't the Tianyou Pavilion Master know even more?

And what about the even higher-ranking Tian Zhao Sect?

Once they found out, they wouldn't even need to take action; as long as the news spread, Chen De would be as dead as could be.

After all, even the true Evil God had been sealed; what did he count for?

Chen De hadn't killed Sorrowful Disciple yet; he had only used Influence on him for now.

His Internal World was only suppressed, and all the resources inside had been taken out.

According to Chen De's judgment, if he took down the entire Tianyou Pavilion, he would have a chance to break through to the Demon Venerable Realm Sixth Transformation.
