Chapter 1039: Chapter 1030: A Sudden Turn of Events

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

High above in the sky, the Sea of Desire burst forth with dazzling light.

It seemed to be in a state of ‘backlighting,’ a brilliance at the final moment of its life, attempting to completely ensnare Mo Wangchen within it.

However, no matter how strong the Seven-Colored Rosy Clouds were, they could not approach Mo Wangchen.

He had crossed the Bitter Sea Restricted Area; what did a mere Sea of Desire mean to him?

In the end, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the Sea of Desire seemed to exhaust all its brilliance and gradually faded, eventually dissipating.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still, the scene was deathly silent, one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was taken aback to the extreme. Even the Sea of Desire, which even Holy Emperor Great Powers might not withstand, had no effect on Mo Wangchen.

This plane was indeed incredibly astonishing.

“What exactly happened?”

“My God, is this the innate power of the Divine King Body? Even the Sea of Desire can’t affect him.”

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into an uproar, all wearing expressions of disbelief.

“Impossible!”

“Why? Why is even the Sea of Desire ineffective?”

“It can’t be like this unless you have no emotions or desires!”

Below the ground, the cultivation within the Emotion Cutting Saint had long since vanished, reduced to an ordinary person. His face was pale as snow, filled with disbelief.

He had paid such a painful price, yet could not even harm a hair on Mo Wangchen; the Emotion Cutting Saint could not bear such a blow.

He appeared deranged, constantly shaking his head, muttering impossibilities.

Seeing this scene, everyone fell silent. It wasn’t hard to imagine the immense blow to the Emotion Cutting Saint’s heart; otherwise, he wouldn’t be like this.

“You have won. Now, it’s time to conclude this battle…”

Finally, he took a deep breath and then softly exhaled, as if returning to normal, with a bewildered look, gazing at Mo Wangchen.

“I will not kill you.”

Mo Wangchen shook his head; there was no enmity between him and the other party, and he was not a bloodthirsty person.

After speaking, he slowly descended to the ground.

“Woof?”

The Big White Dog squatted in place, madly wagging its tail, displaying a sense of fervent goodwill towards humans.

Seeing Mo Wangchen’s gaze fall upon it, the Big White Dog cowered, fearing it would get cooked.

“You won’t kill me. Do you think this is mercy to me?!”

Behind, the Emotion Cutting Saint shouted angrily. This was not only not mercy but rather a great humiliation.

He had willingly severed his cultivation, ready to die at any time; now defeated, the other party’s ‘kindness’ of showing mercy was simply intolerable.

Furthermore, this did not fit with the Emotion Cutting Sect’s usual style. In battles, victory or defeat signified life or death!

“I am not merciful, nor do I pity you.”

Mo Wangchen shook his head, looking at the other indifferently, “I am neither a savior nor a destroyer. I only follow my heart’s desire; whether to kill or not is my personal decision and has nothing to do with you.”

“Woof!”

The Big White Dog stuck out its tongue, its gaze also falling on the Emotion Cutting Saint, “At worst, just re-cultivate. Once you sever your emotions and desires completely again, come and have a rematch with this kid. That’s a true hero. Planning to die just because of a defeat, what kind of hero is that?”

“Re-cultivate?”

Hearing this, the Emotion Cutting Saint bitterly smiled and shook his head, “How could that be easy…”

“Considering you are also a genius of your generation, this Emperor will kindly give you some advice.”

Suddenly, the Big White Dog became arrogant, looking at the Emotion Cutting Saint with a proud face, “Do you think your Emotion Cutting lineage, having severed all emotions and desires, has no path left to follow?”

“Wrong, utterly wrong. During the Ancient Era, there was once someone who, after severing all emotions and desires, was unmatched in the world, sweeping through the heavens, but he knew his journey wasn’t over. Do you know what choice he finally made?”

“Like you, he dispersed all his Creation and severed desires a second time. This is a sort of Nirvana Reincarnation, and if successful, one’s cultivation can achieve an even greater breakthrough.”

“Ye Wuqing!” The Emotion Cutting Saint’s eyes burst with a brilliant light as this name came out of his mouth.

In the ancient books of the Emotion Cutting Sect, such a record indeed exists, mentioning that during the Ancient Era, a person named Ye Wuqing took such a path.

But whether this truly existed, no one knows, and moreover, it happened so long ago that even the Emotion Cutting Sect only has some records. Where did this Big White Dog hear it from?

The Emotion Cutting Saint stood still, seemingly in a daze, before muttering to himself, “Is re-cultivating desire really worthwhile…”

“Why isn’t it worthwhile?”

The Big White Dog disdainfully said, “Why would this Emperor lie to you, a little kid for no reason? You’ll know once you try it when you get back.”

Hearing this, the Emotion Cutting Saint’s gaze turned, and after a while, he took a deep breath.

“Farewell!”

He cupped his hands, and after speaking, he was about to turn and leave.

“Boom!”

But suddenly, just as he turned around, a Void Giant Hand covering the entire Heavenly Vault appeared instantly, pressing down on the Emotion Cutting Saint.

This unforeseen scene caused everyone present to change their expressions.

Watching the descending Void Giant Hand, the Emotion Cutting Saint stopped, staring at it without a trace of fear. He was already prepared to die and had no will to survive now that someone attacked.

Moreover, without his cultivation, he couldn’t resist at all.

“Boom!”

Just before the hand fell, suddenly, a figure in white blocked the Emotion Cutting Saint.

It was indeed Mo Wangchen, with Immortal Light surging around him, magnificent in momentum. With one airborne palm, he broke apart the pressing Void Giant Hand.

“Who are you? Taking advantage of others’ difficulties is somewhat despicable, isn’t it?”

Mo Wangchen furrowed his brow, his gaze fixed on a certain spot in the void, a glimmer of brilliance flashing in his profound eyes.

“Hehe, the Ji Family’s Divine King Body…”

“Truly well-deserved, tonight, we have indeed witnessed a good show.”

At this moment, a figure arrived from the distant void, stepping through the air. It was a young man with a faint smile and his hands behind his back.

Finally, the young man reached the sky above, looking down at Mo Wangchen.

“Such strong hostility…”

Feeling the terrifying aura from the young man, everyone present changed their expressions, “Is this… someone from the Ancient Clan?!”

“Nowadays, the Ancient Clan rarely emerges, and after the Divine King era ended, they mostly sealed their Mountain Gate and never actively clashed with the Human Clan. Who is this person?” The surrounding people frowned, their faces showing solemn expressions.

It was evident that this suddenly appearing Ancient Clan youth had a formidable aura, far exceeding most of the human geniuses present.
