Blarrrrrr

A continuous rumbling sound echoed through the sky, and dozens of people could be seen fighting with terrifying cultivation powers.

Several hills had been destroyed by the battle. The sea roared. Even the tall, large mountains began to crumble due to the battle.

Around twenty-six gods were attacking one person who seemed to be shattered by the attack.

A woman was seen smiling slyly in the distance. She seemed satisfied with what was happening to the man being attacked.

One of the attackers, a man with long black beard and silver armour, mocked, "Heavenly Dao God, surrender and hand over your treasures. You are already poisoned. Your girl has poisoned you." He turned to the woman smiling slyly.

"Your strength is almost gone. There's no point in continuing to fight. You are being overwhelmed by the strongest gods. You won't be able to escape. Better yet, surrender your treasures!" the bearded man continued. "We will let you die with your body intact!"

"Shut up!" The handsome man who had been surrounded since earlier clutched his chest. Blood dripped from his mouth.

He knew he couldn't hold on much longer. The poison given to him by Yun Shifeng, the Holy Ice Jade Goddess, had brought him to his lowest point.

He never imagined that the person he trusted most would betray him and collaborate with all his subordinates.

He was the True Dao God who had ruled the Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years. Admired by allies and feared by enemies. He never expected to meet such a fate.

If only Yun Shifeng had not poisoned him, he would never have been harmed by these people. But the most potent poison prepared by that girl had caused the Eternal God to fall.

Now, he stared at his enemies one by one, as if wanting to remember them for future revenge.

"There's no point in you being like this, Heavenly Dao God. You're finished. Your history will soon be closed. Someone else will soon replace you. You will become history! Hand over your treasures," said the bearded man with a laugh.

The Heavenly Dao God snorted. He knew that the other party's words contained truth. But he didn't want to die alone.

He roared fiercely and unleashed his final power. He shot towards the girl who had betrayed him. The most beautiful creature he had ever trusted, but who had recently wounded his heart.

BLARRRRRR

DUERRRRR

BOOOOM

The Heavenly Dao God's final attack was met by his opponents. Twenty people greeted the attack, while six others immediately moved to protect themselves in front of Yun Shifeng, to shield the beautiful goddess.

Several consecutive explosions occurred. Hundreds of hills were destroyed, and twenty large mountains were shattered due to the effects of the clash between the Cultivation Gods.

Clouds hung in the air, emitting radiation as intense as high-level nuclear radiation.

This event would cause a stir for years to come.

***

Some time later, a seventeen-year-old youth awoke from his sleep. "Where am I?"

Everyone who heard his words burst into laughter.

"The fool has woken up. He doesn't know where he is? Hahaha. He's truly foolish!"

"Chen Long, you're truly foolish!"

"For seventeen years, since he was born, he has only brought shame to his father, the Minister of Public Affairs. It seems his family is cursed to have such a son." Another voice said.

The young man ignored the discordant voices. He began to squeeze his memory. And now everything became clear.

"That battle destroyed me. Fortunately, the remnants of my soul managed to reincarnate into the body of a newborn child. Unfortunately, the destruction of my body and soul that I carried with me into this child's body caused me to grow abnormally."

"Now, after seventeen years, I have recovered. Unfortunately, I must start over from the beginning. But with my brilliant understanding, I will be able to forge my path again, just as I did tens of thousands of years ago." thought the young man named Chen Long.

"I will return to the Heavenly Dao Realm. To seek revenge on all who betrayed me. Especially you, Yun Shifeng!" Chen Long snorted.

A young man dressed more lavishly than anyone else present approached Chen Long and said, "Hey, fool! Since you've woken up, fetch me the Eternal Origin Stone from inside!"

Everyone laughed, and someone said, "Hey, fool! Follow the words of the tenth prince. If you want to live."

This place was one of the holiest sites in the Liang Kingdom. It was called the Liang Great Eternal Origin Stone Land.

Right in front of everyone, there was a waterfall. Behind the waterfall, there was a cave. Not just any cave. But a cave that could produce the Eternal Origin Stone.

Inside the Eternal Origin Stone, there were various valuable treasures. Swords, cultivation techniques, high-level pills, potions, or similar items had been found there.

Unfortunately, there are sometimes casualties every time someone enters the cave. Because there is a current of power inside that can activate every time an Eternal Origin Stone is taken from within.

The cave also sometimes closes after one or several Eternal Origin Stones are taken from within.

This time, the tenth prince of Liang Agung, along with some friends and his guards, deliberately invited Chen Long to come to this place.

It turned out that the tenth prince wanted to use Chen Long as bait to retrieve the Eternal Origin Stone.

Chen Long already knew the tenth prince's intentions. Without hesitation, he entered the cave.

As he scanned his surroundings, he could see stones lined up inside the cave.

He was immediately greeted by a wave of fierce spear Qi, the cave's protective mechanism, which always made it difficult, even deadly, for anyone trying to enter this place.

But before entering, Fang Chen already had a plan.

With ease, he clasped his hands together. His fingers intertwined, and a Taoist character formed from the movement of his hands.

The secret weapon mechanism, the spear Qi, immediately fell after the Taoist character was formed.

After that, he casually took three Eternal Origin Stones.

Two were put into his pockets, while the largest one was now held in his hand to be taken out of the cave.

The tenth prince and his entourage were quite surprised to see Chen Long without a single scratch.

"This is the largest Eternal Origin Stone I have ever seen. Give it to me!" The tenth prince immediately snatched the stone.

All eyes were immediately drawn to the stone. Many of the prince's followers praised this achievement.

The tenth prince immediately ordered one of his subordinates to cut the eternal origin stone, disregarding Chen Long who was hurrying away.

After Chen Long was a hundred Zhang away from the tenth prince and his companions, a very powerful explosion was heard.

Chen Long smiled. "They're all dead! Who's the fool here?"

The Heavenly Dao God, who now inhabits Chen Long's body, tried to assess his cultivation level. It turned out he was only at the Body Purification Realm.

This was the lowest realm, not even worthy of being called a cultivator.

It was the lowest realm, like the foot of a mountain compared to its peak, when compared to his cultivation in his past life.

But even though he had to start over from the beginning, the deity could only be grateful for the opportunity to take revenge on his enemies.

At the time of his death, he managed to take five of his enemies who had surrounded him to die with him.

Ironically, he and the five of them were reincarnated into the same body—the body of a boy named Chen Long.

He had to fight against his enemies for seventeen years in the body of the boy named Chen Long.

That is why Chen Long grew up as a foolish child who could not even speak.

This was the result of the intense struggle between the Heavenly Dao God and his five enemies.

For seventeen years, the Heavenly Dao God had witnessed what happened to Chen Long. And witnessed all the mockery, oppression, and beatings inflicted upon Chen Long.

But all this time, he could only remain silent and did not defend Chen Long.

Today, the Heavenly Dao God finally succeeded in annihilating his five enemies forever, and he could fully become Chen Long.

The original Chen Long had actually died after being beaten and thrown into a ravine by the fourth prince, who was extremely wicked, a month ago.

So the one now inhabiting Chen Long's body is the Heavenly Dao God, who, coincidentally, was also named Chen Long in his childhood tens of thousands of years ago.

Now, Chen Long was walking back to his home. His father was an honest Minister of Justice who always fought for the people's welfare.

Unfortunately, his efforts did not yield significant results, as the royal family was extremely tyrannical towards the people.

Chen Long's father, Chen Zhengjin, still believed that one day, the emperor would open his eyes.

But Chen Long himself was not convinced that the emperor and his tyrannical family would ever change.

At that moment, as Chen Long arrived in front of his house, a dignified man in his thirties approached him. "Young master, thank goodness you are unharmed."

"Officer Cian." Chen Long greeted the man. This man was his father's trusted confidant.

In fact, this man could have become a general if he had chosen to stay in the military. However, because he admired Minister Chen, Chen Long's father, he chose to become the head of the guards at Chen Long's father's house, and his rank had not advanced in the past few years.

"I heard that the young master was taken by the prince to the tenth district. Unfortunately, I arrived too late. Please forgive me, young master." Officer Cian looked Chen Long up and down to check his body.

He was relieved when he found no injuries or broken bones on Chen Long's body.

"Young master, it would be best for you to accompany the lady back to her hometown and not return to the royal city for now."

"What's going on, Officer Cian?" Chen Long asked. He could see the worry on Officer Cian's face.

"Young master.... Can you speak now?" Officer Cian looked astonished. For the past ten years he had served in Minister Chen's household, and the minister's son had never spoken.

"Yes. I took medicine that allowed me to speak," Chen Long replied casually. "What's going on, Officer Cian?"

"Your father is being interrogated by the Right Wing troops."

"The Right Wing troops?" Chen Long muttered.

Chen Long grew anxious. The Right Wing troops were the palace guards led by Eunuch Luo Xiu, a powerful eunuch at the palace who was extremely loyal to the royal family.

"What really happened?" asked Chen Long.

"Your father bravely accused the prime minister and the second prince of corruption."

"I'm sure that's true."

"Yes. But that also put your father in danger."

"How so? My father must have found evidence to imprison those two."

"The Empress didn't accept it. Because the prime minister is her father, and the second prince is her favourite son. So, she devised a cunning plan to retaliate against your father."

"What did she do?"

"Suddenly, your father's scribe accused him of accepting bribes for the construction of the eastern palace. And your father was immediately investigated. They fabricated false evidence to frame him."

"Hah!"

"That's why I came to ask the young master to take the lady away. Meanwhile, I will try to break into the eastern wing to save your father."

"I'll go with you!"

"No, young master. You'll only be a burden to me."

Chen Long sighed. "You're right. Alright. Go."

Chen Long felt the truth in Officer Cian's words. In his current state, he would only be a burden to others.

Therefore, he had to become strong first.

After Officer Cian left, instead of taking his mother with him as Officer Cian had suggested, Chen Long went to his room to cultivate.

His memories of the past were not all clear. At present, he could only recall about five percent of them.

Fortunately, within that five percent, there were memories of extraordinary cultivation techniques using the Earth Core Technique.

With this Earth Core Technique, he managed to extract the essence of the earth through the ground to begin developing his cultivation.

The lowest level of cultivation was the Body Purification Realm. After some time, he successfully entered the first level of the Body Purification Realm.

"This place is far from spiritual roots. It's a bit difficult for me to directly advance to the second level. Hmph. What should I do?" Chen Long sighed.

"Hmmm. Since I can't advance to the next level, the only way to become stronger is to condense my cultivation, so that even though I'm only at the first level of the Body Purification Realm, my strength can match, or even surpass, the second, third, or fourth levels.

After thinking that, he began to condense his cultivation.

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

"Actually, I'm not satisfied with my current strength. But my family needs me. I have to help my family."

As he was about to stand up, two objects fell from his body.

It turned out to be two eternal origin stones he had hidden in his body.

Since he didn't have a storage ring, he had simply placed the two objects under his clothes, causing them to fall out accidentally at this moment.

Now he decided to split the two Eternal Origin Stones.

When he split the first stone, he was surprised and delighted to discover something extraordinary.

"Materials for making low-level purple lightning talismans along with instructions on how to make them. This is great." Chen Long immediately smiled broadly.

In his previous life, he had been an expert at making high-level purple lightning talismans.

However, at present, he had not yet regained those memories. Therefore, the techniques he had learned from the Eternal Origin Stone were extremely useful to him.

With the divine-level understanding he still possessed to some extent, he managed to create three low-level purple lightning talismans in just ten minutes.

There were still plenty of materials left, but he chose to use them later.

Now, Chen Long used a knife to open the second Eternal Origin Stone.

He cheered again at the results he had obtained.

Because he found a meridian-cleansing pill in the second Stone.

This pill might only provide a little benefit to others, but not to Chen Long.

For Chen Long, this pill was a treasure for his current situation.

Because with this pill, combined with the Earth Core cultivation technique he is currently developing, when the two interact, Chen Long can use the Dao suppression technique within his body.

With that, his cultivation foundation will expand. Thus, even though he was only at the first level of the Body Purification Realm, he was unafraid to face a cultivator at the fifth level of the Body Purification Realm.

Meanwhile, to confront opponents above the fifth level of the Body Purification Realm, he relied on a low-grade purple lightning talisman.

At that moment, he heard a commotion in the hall of his residence.

Therefore, Chen Long immediately left his room and headed towards the hall.

The hall of the residence of Minister of Justice Chen.

Several elegant men were seen holding scrolls in their hands and scolding a beautiful woman in her forties. "Mrs. Chen, accept the arranged marriage the emperor has arranged for your daughter."

"No. I cannot accept this. My family already rejected this proposal a year ago. Why is it being brought up again? My daughter does not like this arranged marriage." Mrs. Chen shook her head vigorously, refusing to accept the statement brought by the palace eunuchs.

"The emperor has already approved this arranged marriage. Your family must accept it!" The eunuch insisted.

"Isn't the emperor at the border and has been there for a month? How can there be an imperial decree here?" Mrs. Chen looked disbelieving.

The eunuch glared. "Do you dare say this imperial decree is fake?"

Mrs. Chen immediately banged her head on the floor of the hall. "I dare not. Forgive me."

"Then accept the emperor's decree. You can do nothing but accept it. Besides, your daughter is already at the Fifth Prince's residence."

Mrs. Chen was very shocked to hear this news. Because the Fifth Prince in question was a rapist.

How many victims had this cruel prince claimed? When he felt like it, he would drag girls or women off the street to his house and rape them until he was satisfied. He would only release them when he was done.

It was even rumoured that this prince had deviant tendencies, so there were women who were tortured when forced to have intimate relations with him.

Therefore, all women were terrified of falling into the hands of that cruel prince.

Up until now, the Fifth Prince had only ever proposed to Chen Yiling, Chen Long's older sister, but she had politely refused.

Until now, the fifth prince had never been violent toward the Minister of Chen's daughter, but today, everything changed.

"The fifth prince must not touch my daughter! Return my daughter to me!" Mrs. Chen hysterically imagined the fate of her only daughter.

"SHUT UP! You have no right to refuse!" The eunuch was so angry that he immediately slapped Mrs. Chen.

"Madam!"

"Madam!"

Several of Mrs. Chen's servants and guards could only shout in concern because they did not dare to oppose the eunuch who carried the king's decree.

But before the eunuch's hand could touch Mrs. Chen's face, his body was already thrown backward.

The emperor's decree he was holding had fallen to the ground.

The other eunuchs were furious to see their comrade thrown away.

Especially when they checked, the eunuch was already dead.

"You dare to kill the eunuch carrying the emperor's decree!"

"You dare to drop the emperor's decree!"

Two eunuchs glared at Chen Long, who had just arrived. Chen Long was the one who had struck the eunuch earlier.

Mrs. Chen was shocked to learn that it was her son, Chen Long, who had killed the eunuch.

She knew the punishment that awaited the killer of a Kasim who was carrying the emperor's edict.

"Why not dare! I and my family reject this edict!" Chen Long trampled and destroyed the emperor's edict, which many people considered sacred.

"Chen Long, don't do that, son." Mrs. Chen's sobs could be heard behind Chen Long.

The eunuchs nodded with threatening looks at Chen Long.

"Your life is over. This will soon reach the emperor!" One of the eunuchs turned around.

"Forgive him. Forgive my son. Huhuhu. I'm willing to take his place and accept the punishment." Mrs. Chen sobbed behind him.

She herself was very surprised as to why Chen Long could kill that eunuch.

Chen Long chuckled coldly. "In that case, I'll make sure you won't be able to report to your master."

Hearing the threatening tone in Chen Long's words, the two eunuchs and their guards immediately went on alert.

"We must unite against him. He's only at the first level of body purification." The eunuchs stared at Chen Long.

They were also at the first level, while their head guard was even at the second level of body purification.

The head guard, along with his men, immediately stepped forward to protect the Kasims. "I won't let him touch you. Hoek!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was already flung away like a kite whose string had snapped. His soul had already left his body.

His men, who had previously been fierce, were also flung away lifeless almost simultaneously.

All of these attacks were carried out by Chen Long alone.

Everyone still alive in the room stared in disbelief at the reality before their eyes.

The two eunuchs lost their ferocity. They immediately dropped to their knees before Chen Long. "Young master, do not worry. What happened in this house will not leak out anywhere. We promise. Trust us, young master."

The two of them pleaded before Chen Long. Pleading for their lives. Certain that their cultivation was no match for Chen Long's.

Chen Long took a step forward. "Do you know, there is an old proverb that says, 'A promise not to reveal something comes from a mouth that is no longer alive.'"
