Chapter 780 However, is it all worth it?
Lao Jiang's fierce headbutt would definitely not be enough to directly crush the incarnation of Doomsday.
After all, he is not as good as Mr. Crow.
But this headbutt was only the beginning of the battle between Lao Jiang and Lord Huang. With the help of the branches of the Seven Treasures Tree, he absorbed the symbol of new life from the Raven Universe, which made him immune to the black lightning that was wrapped around Lord Huang.
Those powers that can erase everything at the existential level could not hurt Lao Jiang in the slightest, and the sneak attack was successful. A headbutt together with the collision of the opposing symbolic power made the core of the Wasteland Lord feel dizzy.
The body of the Great Dao that it occupied, which belonged to the great master Mo Jiu, was also broken and bleeding after being hit by this blow. Although it was a collision of two energies at the cosmic level, its power attribute was top-notch among all things in the universe.
But the way it was used in a fight between these two guys wasn't cool at all.
As a conceptual creature born from the will of destruction , the Lord of the Wasteland has destroyed one-third of the universe from its birth to the present, and in all his experiences, he has never had the option of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
When a single glance is enough to destroy the worlds, there is no need for it to swing its fists violently.
This has not been a problem in the past.
But now it is a big problem.
Mr. Crow once commented that Lao Jiang's attitude towards power was superficial. He was not a qualified fighter. He had so many cool abilities, but he had never fully explored them.
His fighting skills are also a mess, and he relies on his brain to get around.
Indeed, in terms of combat skills, Lao Jiang can be crushed by even the sect's senior sister, not to mention Mr. Crow, who is in the Ten Directions Divine Martial Arts.
But such bad skills are more than enough to deal with a guy who has never fought before.
In the midst of the sea of suffering, while the two people from the other side were struggling to resist the rolling back of demonic energy, under their silent gaze, Boss Jiang was fighting with the core of the Wasteland Lord like gangsters.
He grabbed the Lord of the Wilderness' neck with both hands, as if he wanted to strangle this conceptual creature to death.
The Lord of the Wasteland kicked Lao Jiang away, and the latter turned into thunder and pounced on him, grabbed the flying War-weary, and fired a shot at the core of the Lord of the Wasteland.
The bullets, which were also empowered by the new power, flew and shattered the waist and abdomen of the core of the Lord of the Wilderness. The latter had no concept of pain. It just whimpered and summoned the power of doomsday, which smashed into Lao Jiang like a black hole.
They had been trying to create distance, but Lao Jiang attacked like a mad dog, making the core of the Wasteland Lord extremely embarrassed. The Taoist Ancestor Fu Shi, who had been suppressing the exits of the Sin Abyss, maliciously threw his own time Taoist power into the battlefield between the two.
Lao Jiang's time was increased tenfold, and the Lord of the Wilderness' time was slowed down tenfold.
It was like the Flash beating up the Turtle Man. In just three seconds, the core of the Wasteland Lord was stabbed twenty-seven times and shot sixteen times by Lao Jiang.
The body of the Great Dao from the Giant was also decaying abnormally. It was obvious that the Giant in the Doomsday Machine had activated some "gadgets" that had been left behind in advance.
Soon, the body carrying the core power of the Wasteland Lord's evil thoughts was completely chopped into pieces by Lao Jiang's sharp sword. At the moment of collapse, this body that had existed for five hundred years turned into gray ashes and withered.
The last thing that appeared in front of Jiang Xia was a black spiritual bead that looked like smoke. It was extremely round and smooth, and could even reflect Old Jiang's face.
This magic bead is the embodiment of the evil thoughts of the Lord of the Wilderness.
"Click"
Old Jiang held the bead in front of him. The moment his left hand touched the magic bead, dark smoke immediately began to rise, following Jiang Xia's mechanical body and continuing to penetrate deeper into his body.
But under the protection of the flowing light of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, the pervasive evil nature could not harm Lao Jiang at all.
“Will this help?”
At this moment, a huge and cold will sounded in Jiang Xia's mind.
It did not feel the pain after frustration , nor the anger after failure. It did not seem to think that what happened today was anything special, nor did it think it was a shame that its evil thoughts were about to be shattered.
It doesn't have such complex thoughts and concepts at all.
It asks directly:
“Even if you destroy me, the death of the stars will not stop. The moment you crush the magic bead, I will be reborn in the depths of the universe. I will not be weaker than I am now.
Without this cage, the final war between you and me will unfold in the decaying sea of stars... What you have to fight against is the will of the entire universe to perish.
You have no chance of winning.
Therefore, the most sensible way for you is to seal me again and let me remain weak like this."
To this, Lao Jiang nodded in agreement.
explain:
"You said it very well. From all aspects, sealing you again is the best option."
After saying that, he put his five fingers together.
"Click"
With a crisp sound, the magic bead shattered and turned into black quicksand like an ordinary glass ball, sliding through Boss Yu Jiang's fingers.
At this moment, all the monsters that still existed above the entire West Sea howled in unison. They seemed to have completely lost their carriers in the material world. Under the stunned gaze of the warriors who were fighting fiercely, they turned into ashes one by one and dissipated.
No matter whether it is the lowest level monster or the powerful Lord of the Wilderness, no one can escape the result which is like a snap of the fingers of the Infinity Gauntlet.
In an instant, the entire sky of the West Sea was covered by black and gray ashes.
Covering the sky and the sun.
But those ashes are only symbolic symbols of destruction; they have no substance. So after the whole world darkens for a moment, the bright sunlight shines again, instantly clearing away the darkness.
"Win?"
The fourth brother, with blood all over his face, looked back at the witch hunter beside him. Having lost a leg, he also looked confused.
But the cheers from afar told them an exciting fact.
"We won! Yeah!"
The fourth brother laughed wildly and raised the heavy machine gun in his hand, firing bullets into the sky to celebrate the victory, but suddenly a person fell at his feet .
The shopkeeper Lao Si was frightened. The unlucky female monk raised her head, held her waist and abdomen, and complained to Lao Si:
"Can you please be more careful next time you shoot? Asshole! I survived the demonic disaster, but you almost killed me!"
"Uh, well, I'll compensate you for your losses. Now stop talking so much. Here, I'll give you this gun. Let's celebrate together."
And under the West Sea where cheers resounded, in the Sin Abyss, the moment Lao Jiang crushed the magic bead, the demonic energy in the entire Sin Abyss was swallowed up by an invisible giant mouth.
It even formed a substantial black gale, and in the center where the evil energy gathered, a single black eye opened for a moment and disappeared in the next moment.
As the Lord of the Wilderness said, at the same time its evil thoughts were destroyed, it was reborn in the depths of the universe.
The black eye of destruction is its symbol.
But it also takes time to recover from the power of doomsday and to reunite into a conscious conceptual entity.
"Hahaha"
Yin Fu Gong's loud laughter also echoed in the final cleansing of the Sin Abyss. The guy laughed and said:
“You cannot kill my Lord. He will eventually return, and I will also return with him at the doomsday that is destined to come. I will watch you kneel down in the afterglow of the doomsday.
I will enjoy your despair, and in the end, I will personally send you off.
All of you, must...ah!"
This final villain's declaration, which was similar to "I will be back", was extinguished in the air by Monk Tianyi, who held the Nine-ring Zen Staff, which was shining with Buddha's light, and swung it down like a war hammer.
"The devil is making a lot of noise!"
The old monk said so.
"That was a little interesting just now."
Mr. Crow held his own demon sword and commented admiringly:
"Compared to chanting sutras, it is indeed more appropriate for you, an old monk, to follow the path of Zen and martial arts. Quickly put aside your unfortunate ambitions and start practicing cultivation again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the land of Sin Abyss, which had already been overwhelmed by the battle between the powerful, collapsed completely after Empress Xixin took back the magical power of the sacred tree.
"This place is about to collapse, everyone, leave."
Taoist Master Fu Shi waved his long sleeves, and everyone present was sent away in unison, without even giving them time to say goodbye. The only five people left in the Collapsed Sin Abyss were the two Taoist masters, Ju Zi, Mr. Crow, and Lao Jiang.
They all knew what to do next.
"Go ahead."
Taoist Master Fushi held his wife's slender waist, and Lady Xixin leaned her head on her husband's shoulder. Taoist Master said to Lao Jiang:
"Do what you should do and leave the last bit of time to us."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the giant who emerged from the Doomsday Machine. The Mechanical Sage manipulated its humanoid metal body and came to his friend .
The three of them hadn't seen each other for five hundred years, so they must have a lot to talk about.
And Lao Jiang didn't disturb them.
He left quietly, followed by Mr. Crow.
The two of them went all the way to the core of the Wilderness Lord's seal. In a valley among the broken mountains, Lao Jiang found the heart of the world of Ku Mu Realm.
It's a tree.
It is probably the real body of Goddess Asarum, the legendary sacred Fusang tree. It should have been towering into the clouds, supporting the world, but now it has become withered and decayed, with only the black trunk left, as if it had been burned by fire.
"Tell me, what will my Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree look like after all seven branches bloom?"
Lao Jiang sat beside the remains of the sacred Fusang tree, lit a cigarette, and threw another to Mr. Crow, who shrugged his shoulders, rubbed his fingers, and a ball of flame floated.
While puffing out smoke, he leaned on his Quexie knife and said to Lao Jiang:
"I don't know either. My golden finger was broken after completing its mission. Maybe your tree is the same. So, when you woke up and saw a tree in your soul, weren't you afraid?"
"I'm scared. I'm scared to death."
Lao Jiang held the war-weariness in his arms and complained:
"At the time, I thought something was wrong with me. I don't know about you, but I had a terrible start. I lived with a useless loser who could do nothing. I spent three years teaching him and planned to be a portable grandfather.
But later I realized that this job is not easy.
Some people, even with a grandfather, can't do anything. I have no choice but to do it myself."
"You've only been sober for three years, which is pretty good."
Mr. Crow also complained:
"When I was sent there, something went wrong and I didn't wake up until I was a teenager. When I woke up, I saw that I was being hunted down.
Fortunately, I have Qingqing, otherwise I would have died there long ago."
The two of them sat on this collapsed continent and chatted about everything under the sun. Ten minutes later, Lao Jiang threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, looked behind him, and said:
"Is that about it?"
"Yeah, they've started to have awkward conversations over there too, that's about it."
Mr. Crow nodded and said:
"Go ahead."
Boss Jiang stretched out his hand and placed it on the remains of the sacred Fusang tree in front of him. As his magical power surged, the familiar process happened again. He closed his eyes and vaguely saw the figures of Pumice and Asarum hugging and kissing each other disappear.
Then, at this moment, a beautiful, big red flower full of spiritual energy bloomed on the last bare branch of the Seven Treasures Tree.
The leaves grew and the stamens floated, and finally as the branch sank, a heavy fruit fell in front of Jiang Xia's eyes.
But Boss Jiang no longer needs its enhancement.
He took the fruit in his hand, tossed it up and down, then put it into the ring. He raised his head and looked at the Seven Treasures Tree in front of him. More leaves and flowers appeared on the seven branches and trunk.
It was with the help of the Jianmu power of Goddess Asarum that Lao Jiang instantly integrated all the small spiritual realms connected to the Ku Mu Realm into the connection with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
The tree is finally no longer bare.
It grew and cheered under Lao Jiang's gaze, as if it had passed some kind of larval stage and began to enter the mature stage. Then, under Lao Jiang's astonished and desperate gaze, more branches extended from the seven main trunks.
Under the shining starlight, Lao Jiang saw hundreds of bare branches extending out, finally stopping at the despairing number 777.
So, in the second stage, does he need to find 777 worlds where flowers can bloom?
Depend on!
I was asking for trouble by paying money. Although I had indeed completed my mission and put a perfect end to my story, but...
But is all this really worth it?
Looking at the second-stage Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree with swaying branches in front of him and making crisp sounds like bells ringing in the breeze, Boss Jiang, who was sitting under the tree, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
