Chapter 214: The Strong Dominate and I Yield; Heroes Dare to Compete!
“I want you to become the King of the Mountain Ghost Clan.”
The Mountain Ghost whispered quietly, as if speaking of a trivial matter.
“That’s fine.”
Young Zhou Tong didn’t even hesitate, agreeing immediately.
“But this is difficult, and you’ll need to pay a great price for it.”
“Pay, so what? Anyway, I have nothing now.”
Young Zhou Tong replied carelessly, which amused the Mountain Ghost.
“One shouldn’t speak like that. Even though you now have nothing, as the King of the Mountain Ghosts, your future knows no bounds.”
“The price you need to pay is the sacrifice of your Dao fruit from this life in exchange for perfection in the next life!”
Upon hearing this, the true form of Zhou Tong trembled greatly, his forehead feeling as if it was struck by lightning, and he suddenly experienced an awakening.
“I understand, I completely understand!”
With a wave of his hand, he shattered this world, returned with his senior apprentice sister to reality.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Zhang Chuqiao asked in concern, noticing Zhou Tong filled with radiant light.
This was a true moment of enlightenment.
“There’s nothing to worry about, Senior Sister. I have comprehended the past and found myself.”
His face wore a happy smile, with all the shackles and doubts in his heart dissipating.
No wonder his previous life was so painful, it turns out he had made a deal with the Mountain Ghosts, sacrificing his life’s glory, in exchange for everything in this life!
Fourteen years ago, he was abandoned by his biological parents and saved by the Mountain Ghosts, both sides having agreed to each other’s requests, making a wish.
Ten years ago, he was found by Mo Liushu and lost all his memories, his personality changing drastically, becoming a timid genius—this was all part of that price.
Eventually, his gloomy demise was also a result of fate!
“Mountain Ghost… should I hate you?”
Zhou Tong asked himself, immediately receiving the answer.
He harbored no hatred in his heart. If it weren’t for the Mountain Ghosts, he would have died to the blade of Hei Yi Ren long ago.
Moreover, during those four years, the Mountain Ghost served as his teacher, granting him unparalleled talents and comprehension, which became his strongest guarantee to later Break Then Establish.
The past is gone, what’s done cannot be undone, so the most crucial is to focus on the present.
With one thought, the wild energy in his body calmed down instead of becoming violent.
“Success!”
The senior apprentice sister said happily.
At this moment, Zhou Tong’s aura reached a state of harmony, indicating that he had completely grasped himself.
The next moment, a purple light seal appeared in his hand, profoundly mystical and carrying the essence of time.
“Past Self Seal!”
Once this seal was unleashed, it could project the image of oneself from the river of time. While it cannot alter the past, it can draw strength from the river of time.
With a “boom,” Zhou Tong released the seal, breaking through the barriers of time. Immediately, a jade amulet appeared in his palm.
“Isn’t this the identity jade amulet you wore as a child? You can actually retrieve it from the river of time!”
“It’s not something particularly important, so it’s that simple.”
Zhou Tong shook his head and tucked the jade amulet away.
The next moment, he looked up at the three still-hovering orbs of light in the sky, his lips curling into a smug smile.
“Come on, now I can finally refine all of you completely!”
As soon as he spoke, he grabbed the orb of Laws, the strongest Law from the shop, known as the Amplification Law. It possessed no direct power itself but could enhance any other Laws except itself.
With no need for words, Zhou Tong invigorated his spirit and refined it.
“Hum!!”
A thunderous sound rang out inside him. His Faith’s Heart was wildly beating, as if about to evolve into its perfect state.
“What’s happening? There’s no infusion of the Power of Belief?”
Zhou Tong was surprised, but soon he realized the reason.
The “Respected Spirit” Law within him immediately increased in strength by several times. Under this Law, anyone who sincerely bows to him with reverence would allow him to gain the Power of Belief.
The next moment, with a ripple of light, Zhou Tong spontaneously condensed the Past Self Seal, creating a pathway of time.
Then he saw an extremely familiar scene.
In his past life after his death, Tang Qi wreaked havoc on the world, countless heroes knelt before his statue, praying for his return to support the Yellow Emperor, all harboring unparalleled sincerity!
He saw an ocean of faith power surge across the barrier of time, entering the Faith’s Heart, completing its evolution instantly!
“Bang Bang!”
Zhou Tong’s body shook violently as the Faith’s Heart merged with him, bringing about a breakthrough in his cultivation!
This is an unparalleled holy artifact, which can instantly make one ascend to the Cycle Realm, and the uppermost level of the Cycle Realm, where the Faith’s Heart surpasses all faith and merit.
The sound of realms breaking was deafening as Zhou Tong’s body immediately erupted with brilliant light. Cycle powers surged, filling every inch of him.
“Senior Sister, with me!”
He didn’t swallow all the Power of Belief alone but embraced the Senior Apprentice Sister, sharing this evolution of creation with her.
Moments later, the light faded.
Zhou Tong broke through to the third level of the Cycle Realm, and the Senior Apprentice Sister directly ascended to the sixth level!
This level of improvement was astonishing.
Yet, Zhou Tong’s path to strength did not stop. Another ball of light descended, the origin of myriad stars, also the strongest energy from the shop.
The origin energy entering his body, the Omniverse Illusion Seal immediately responded, this massive energy being the best nourishment, starting a qualitative transformation of Zhou Tong’s physical body.
Originally, with just one thousand small worlds opened, he could easily crush ordinary Cycle Realm practitioners.
But now, having absorbed the origin energy, the number of small worlds in his body was exploding, increasing to as many as one hundred thousand!
His body’s surface was now covered with a faint golden glow, and every slight clench of his fists produced wind and thunder sounds, demonstrating boundless terror.
“At this point, even if I were to confront a Sage directly, I would not be without resistance.”
Zhou Tong was overjoyed. This enhancement was unprecedented, directly thrusting him into the ranks of the top warriors of this era. Until now, he finally had the confidence to contend with the world!
For a moment, his eyes shone with myriad rays of light, his heart swelling with audacious vigor, and involuntarily, he softly hummed.
Heaven and Earth birth the mixed spirits,
Endless dust, diligent in cultivation,
Harmonious path of heaven is the foundation,
Crossing the sea, moving mountains, I contemplate the Great Dao,
Practicing countless methods, reaching the utmost,
Gaining transformation, endless in all directions,
Because of the mundane world’s confines,
I set my heart on the celestial realm,
The Jade Emperor’s palace is not permanent,
Passed down through all generations, there is a reason,
The strong dominate and I yield; heroes dare to compete!
“Hum!”
Instantly, the void churned with thunder, as if connecting to the Great Dao. The last remaining orb of light in the sky seemed activated. It was an eye, a supreme body from the shop, which had transformed into human form!
“Hero dare to compete? Kid, take my blow!”
The figure exhaled energy, and it shimmered in his hand, transforming into a colossal pillar, sweeping horizontally towards Zhou Tong!
