CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 500: DESCENT VS DESCENT!

"No!"

The middle-aged man slammed his hand on the table and stood up, exclaiming with great agitation:

"During the last judgement, you clearly had no money, and now a bunch of gold bricks suddenly appear. You’re deceiving—"

"Now you can’t worm your way out of this! How aren’t you dead yet?"

Wu Xiaode sneered, opened his mouth and took another puff of his cigar before speaking:

"I only said three sentences in front of the bar."

Suddenly, the screen displayed the words he had previously spoken:

"Ladies, I’ve never been to a bar before. Does it cost money to go in and play?"

"Sister, can I really go in and play for free?"

"Okay, sister, I’m going now, sister."

Both sides looked at these three lines of text.

Wu Xiaode blew a ring of smoke toward the screen and said languidly:

"It seems like I never said I was poor, did I?"

The middle-aged man was stunned.

But Wu Xiaode was not yet finished, continuing to say:

"Moreover, that was the previous trial. You’re using the current qualifications for judgement to question the previous trial. That doesn’t seem to follow the rules, right?"

The words fell.

The girls blocked the screen and started to dance hand in hand.

——This proved Wu Xiaode was right!

He had passed the trial!

Wu Xiaode looked up at the timer, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He stood up, took out one gold brick after another, and piled them on the private room table into a one-meter-tall cube.

"Sisters, come play dice."

He called out.

"How do you play?" the girls all gathered around.

"The winner gets two bricks, the loser only gets one," Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

"Wow, then we’ll play with Brother."

The girls began to take turns rolling the dice.

Wu Xiaode stood aside and looked up at the television screen.

The middle-aged man and his thugs in private room 444 were still standing there motionless.

Their girls were also standing still, even turning their heads to look at the screen.

Watching the laughter and dice games of private room 666, the girls’ auras gradually became more fierce.

"It’s your turn now."

Wu Xiaode’s expression turned cold as he spoke:

"You entered the bar, ordered a private room, called the sisters over to play, and didn’t even pay?"

"Even if not by the crime of fraud, should I charge you with picking quarrels and provoking trouble?"

"Judgment—"

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man’s face had already changed.

He swiftly slapped his three companions repeatedly, whispering sharply:

"Give me your power!"

All three of his companions screamed in agony at once.

Their figures turned directly into skeletons, the skeletons then dissolved into pus, rapidly evaporating into the void.

In the place where they once stood, three orbs of light appeared.

These light orbs orbited the middle-aged man for a moment before all entering his body.

An incomprehensible aura began to emanate from him.

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye.

——The countdown hasn’t even ended yet, why flip the table now?

It seems plans can’t keep up with changes.

"Destruction of public facilities, refusing to pay after consumption, charges of picking quarrels and provoking trouble: all confirmed!"

Wu Xiaode immediately shouted.

The ground turned into undulating flesh, wrapping around the middle-aged man, trying to pull him into the depths below.

However—

There was no movement at all.

The middle-aged man stood in place, emanating white light, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Hard to imagine, despite setting things up so perfectly, even utilizing the Law of Destiny, unexpected problems still arise—"

His appearance hadn’t changed, but his entire demeanor had become completely different.

Inside private room 666.

Shen Xiujun suddenly stepped forward, shielding Wu Xiaode as she said:

"Be careful, the other side has ’descended.’"

"Descended?" Wu Xiaode exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, those people had various Soul Devices hidden in their bodies. He forcefully extracted them and triggered a ’descent.’ His presence is serious," Shen Xiujun said with a solemn expression.

She quickly formed hand signs with her hands.

Boom—

An endless stream of black hair unfurled from her.

"Don’t know who this guy is, but he managed to directly descend into your ’Sin Classroom.’ He might not be easy to deal with."

Shen Xiujun quickly transmitted her thoughts.

At the same moment.

In private room 444, the middle-aged man’s body tensed slightly, his eyes narrowing.

——The entire private room, including the ground, had turned into undulating flesh, attempting to drag him down into the earth.

"Since I’m here..."

He lifted his fist high and forcefully punched the ground.

The world went silent.

The ground’s flesh waved and spread out in all directions like turbulent waves.

Shen Xiujun’s face changed immediately, transmitting her thoughts:

"Brother Wu, get out of there fast!"

Wu Xiaode, without any hesitation, activated "Evernight City," directly hiding in a parallel world.

A line of ice crystal text appeared before him:

"Your ’Sin Classroom’ is about to collapse!"

At the same time.

A voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"That guy still has two powerful strikes left. Do not leave until his ’descent’ is over!"

"Leaving would mean certain death!"

——That was the voice of the existence beside Jiang Shanglan!

From deep underground, a series of screams could be heard.

The fleshly earth split open.

Deep underground, countless corpses turned into minced meat, then into a mist of blood, continuously drifting and dissipating into the void.

A colossal fleshly figure struggled mightily to climb upward, but gradually lost its strength.

It too turned into blood mist.

——It was just a single punch!

Taking advantage of the situation.

The middle-aged man lunged forward, breaking through the walls of flesh, passing through various private rooms, and appeared directly in front of Shen Xiujun.

"A demon thief?"

He said unexpectedly.

Shen Xiujun extended her hand and pointed, and in an instant, countless black hairs rapidly intertwined in midair, forming a massive shield.

Boom, boom, boom—

All flesh dissipated quickly.

The entire world completely turned into nothingness.

With a single punch, the ultra high-level Evolution State of "fury" was shattered!

The middle-aged man stood in midair and spoke:

"I have no grudges with the Infinite Calamity, and even if you are a Calamity Demon, you shouldn’t obstruct my affairs."

"Then why don’t you scram?" Shen Xiujun said sharply.

The middle-aged man fell silent, then spoke again: "I have received their memories and now know that this matter was caused by the young man you are protecting."

"Your people provoked him first," said Shen Xiujun.

"Not true, according to the destiny and world line I’ve woven, my subordinates were to reincarnate into the ’Virtual World’ as villains and complete a task for me, but he changed that."

As the middle-aged man reached this point in his explanation, his aura suddenly surged.

Countless sparkling stars appeared in the Dark Void behind him, exuding boundless and majestic power.

"Step aside, Calamity Master, and let me find that young man and kill him," he said indifferently.

Shen Xiujun barked sharply:

"As long as I’m here, you won’t lay a finger on him."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Why bother? I have tens of thousands of worlds, and even if you want to be my enemy, you can’t destroy all my worlds... I just don’t want to make an enemy needlessly."

Before he could finish the phrase "I don’t want to make an enemy," he suddenly made his move!

Countless stars turned into an endless shower of light, fluttering everywhere, densely covering every direction, sweeping towards Shen Xiujun.

A trace of resolution flashed in Shen Xiujun’s eyes.

—She was in a human body and could not fully transform into a Calamity Demon, and at this moment facing the opponent’s full strength, she was uncertain of the outcome.

Endless light illuminated all darkness.

In the blink of an eye.

Shen Xiujun suddenly exclaimed, "No, Brother Wu, don’t come out—"

Before her voice fell, her entire being suddenly transformed into a card and flew back onto the Book of the Dead.

The endless rushing stars lost their target and immediately traced long arcs in midair, returning to behind the middle-aged man.

At the same time.

A figure appeared opposite the middle-aged man.

—Wu Xiaode.

"Huh? You came out on your own?" said the middle-aged man with a playful tone.

"With an old hand like you, of course I had to come out and meet you— You’ve seen through her weakness, haven’t you?" Wu Xiaode said.

"How do you know that?" the middle-aged man asked back.

"If she were a true Calamity Demon, given your attitude, you would likely not want to offend her, but you attacked before even finishing your words, clearly because you saw she could only maintain human form for now," Wu Xiaode said.

"Smart people are the easiest to spoil things, and you spoiled my plans," the middle-aged man said.

Wu Xiaode shook his head:

"Indeed, I also know I’ve changed the world line, but I didn’t expect this world line to have been artificially set."

"Oh, the nascent world so utterly small and young, you do have some brains, but you are ultimately too naive and ignorant, without a worldly view, unaware of how truly powerful I am," the middle-aged man said.

"Of course I don’t know, but—someone does," Wu Xiaode said.

"Oh? Who are you referring to? The incomplete Calamity Demon just now?" the middle-aged man said with disdain.

Wu Xiaode took out a long box and opened it directly.

—This was precisely the long box that Huang Mao had taken out.

Inside the box was a beating heart.

In the next moment.

Wu Xiaode hadn’t even seen what was happening—

The heart suddenly extended a spike, deeply piercing into his body.

A sharp female voice rang in his ear:

"Heehee, who would have thought I’d make it, how did you discover me?"

Wu Xiaode responded, "If I had to say I changed something about the timeline, there’s only one thing—"

"Jiang Shanglan was originally dead but was resurrected and sent back to the living world by me."

"She died from making a move against a mortal."

"The very mortal who caused her death now stands before me, seeking to kill me."

"But why did you understand to let me out?" the female voice asked again.

"Because his ’Descent’ used the power of all his companions, yet it didn’t awaken the power of Yellow Hair, who has always been mingling with them—"

"In other words, Yellow Hair is very likely not one of their companions."

"On the Naihe Bridge, Yellow Hair wasn’t sealed with them either, but was separated into two groups, and this is also evidence."

"So I confirmed one thing—"

"Yellow Hair is indeed not one of their companions!"

"If Yellow Hair isn’t one of his companions, and isn’t a means previously arranged by that existence, then why follow him?"

"—There’s only one reason: surveillance."

"Do you have any proof?" the female voice asked again.

"The proof is that the existence doesn’t dare to openly kill Jiang Shanglan— even with his unimaginable strength, he still quietly manipulated people to reincarnate and step by step approach Jiang Shanglan, tempting her to act, instead of killing her directly!"

"I bet he must have something he fears!"

After Wu Xiaode spoke,

he looked at the middle-aged man opposite him, only to see a look of hesitation indeed flashed across the other’s face.

"Who has descended upon you?"

The middle-aged man tentatively asked.

Wu Xiaode opened his mouth but said nothing.

The female voice whispered in his ear:

"That’s right, the observer he fears, is indeed me."

"Child, many variables of destiny are coincidences, but you have become such a variable by your own ability."

"You saved Lan once, and now this is the second time, as payment, I am about to save you."

"Lend me your body."

Wu Xiaode immediately realized he could not move.

—Just like every time the Heroic Spirits descended upon his body.

Boom-boom-boom!!!

Fierce fluctuations burst forth from Wu Xiaode’s body, forming unimaginable ferocious winds that shook the billions of stars across from him incessantly.

His hair suddenly grew longer, turning into shoulder-length hair, wildly dancing in the wind.

His voice also turned into a pleasing female voice:

"I have finally found you..."

"Your way of weaving the threads of fate is so disgusting... I want you dead!"

The next instant.

He threw a punch directly.

The middle-aged man’s face drastically changed, he quickly raised both hands in front of his chest, trying to block something.

Thump.

A soft sound.

The middle-aged man trembled all over, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it."

He said with a grim expression.

Behind him, the billions of stars that spanned the Void, like thousands of trees and myriad flowers, streaked across the darkness with long trails of light, falling into the depths of darkness.
