Chapter 2002 - Destruction, Rebirth

In the location of the Che Clan which became ruins after the Che Clan departed, this place now was actually completely different. Numerous imposing and beautiful palaces and buildings were built there and these didn’t belong to a single power but were occupied by several powers instead.

Right now, maybe the three grand factions of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms didn’t have any regard for the ruins of the Che Clan in their eyes. But to many other smaller powers, this place was simply a gem. There were many battles that occurred during these years and a fragile balance was finally reached. Some powers occupied this treasured land and refused to leave, wanting to dig out the treasures of the Che Clan.

The Che Clan of the past was once prosperous for a period of time and was considered an empire. It wasn’t so easy to fully excavate everything of the Che Clan in this ruin.

However, these powers that occupied the Che Clan’s past territory had no idea that in a different spacetime dimension underneath these ruins, the Che Clan experts were still present here. Golden divine flames burned wildly, an immensely gigantic world furnace appeared in the center of the world. The golden flames were like primordial fire and terrifying waves of might gushed forth from it. Countless divine formations were inscribed around it. If it wasn’t for these divine formations existing, the primordial fire would surely erupt and easily destroy this dimension.

But even with the existence of the divine formations, they weren’t able to completely suppress everything. Within the primordial divine fire, a faint blurry shape of a chaos divine weapon could be seen. The chaos divine weapon was shifting forms unceasingly and the power that radiated from it continued to destroy the divine formations bit by bit, like it wanted to break free of the bindings and break out from this dimension.

“What’s happening?” The Che Clan Leader had an unsightly expression. They spent so much effort through the generations, and there were even many deities who died for the sake of forging this divine item. But in the end, they had no way to control this weapon? Their Che Clan didn’t have powerful enough dao arts to allow the divine formations to take its final form?

He was reluctant, this chaos divine weapon was the last hope of their Che Clan. Once they failed, the Che Clan would be destroyed and cease to exist forever from this world.

In the surroundings of the primordial fire, above the countless divine formations, the experts from the Che Clan were still working hard, channeling their energy to maintain the primordial fire, wanting the chaos divine weapon within to fully form as they sought to gain control over it by inserting their daos within. They attempted to use their daos as a way to communicate and to form a resonance with it. However, the primordial fire radiated a terrifying blast of energy that transformed into a chaotic vortex that frenziedly devoured the daos of everyone. Not a hint of resonance could be felt.

“Careful! We might suffer a backlash.” A heavenly deity shouted. A few moments later, a Che Clan expert screamed in pain as he transformed into ashes directly. His body then flew into the primordial fire, becoming a part of it.

“Rumble~” The divine flames flared with even more intensity. That terrifying vortex was churning and after that, more and more people screamed as they were turned into ashes, swept into the divine flames before being absorbed by that vortex.

“Clan leader.” Many people turned their gazes to the Che Clan Leader. Che Hou’s expression turned ashen. Generations of the Che Clan put in all their effort and hardwork but did all of that amount to them creating such a strange object which they wouldn’t be able to control? There was only a single step away before the divine weapon could be born. However, their current strengths were no longer able to control it.

Che Hou’s expression contorted as he coldly spoke, “Suppress it or if it destroys this dimension, the entire Che Clan would truly be annihilated.”

The experts from the Che Clan had looks of madness on their faces. They understood what their Clan Clan Leader said was real. The power of this divine weapon was simply too great. If they couldn’t suppress it, this entire dimension would be destroyed and the Che Clan would vanish as well. They frenziedly unleashed their power to suppress it using the divine formations. However, their efforts were useless. The terrifying vortex could devour all destructive energies. The divine flames burned, shooting straight up into the air, illuminating the entire sky. The experts from the Che Clan were sucked into the vortex one by one from the absorption force and became a part of the primordial divine flames.

The golden divine flames raged higher and higher. Inside the chaotic vortex, a humanoid face akin to a devil actually appeared. This entire space seemed to be sighing, this was the calamity of the Che Clan.

When Che Hou saw this, pain and agony filled his eyes. The Che Clan actually exhausted all their efforts of countless generations to create this divine weapon. What an irony was this, he was unwilling to accept this.

Countless divine formations were inscribed here. Che Hou wielded a scepter that was capable of refining everything in the world. He took a step forward and the world refining force was released, locking onto the newly born devilish figure in the vortex.

That figure lifted its head and stared at Che Hou. It seemed to be alive and this realization caused Che Hou’s heart to tremble violently.

“Since you all have created me, why bother to resist? All of you should give me all your life force and energy. Your wish will naturally be accomplished then. Only by doing so would I be able to be fully born.” The devilish figure spoke in human speech. Its voice was cold and had no traces of emotions. After all, it wasn’t a human, it was a weapon with sentience.

“We’ve created you but we didn’t expect that you would seek to devour us.” Che Hou coldly spoke.

“From their memories, I learned of the purpose of why the Che Clan wanted to create me. You guys wanted to forge a divine weapon that could transcend everything and since this is the case, you should already know that your strengths are not enough to control me. If you can control me, I wouldn’t be able to meet your goals. Can you not understand this? Are you foolish?” An emotionless robotic voice rang out once more. Che Hou’s expression grew extremely unsightly. The words of this figure were extremely logical, so logical to the point where Che Hou had nothing to retort.

Indeed, they wanted to create an ultimate divine weapon that could transcend everything. Since this is the case, its power would naturally exceed the scope of their ability to control it. Could all of this be karma?

“I didn’t expect that we would have created such a monster like you.” Che Hou sighed. Could this be the fate of their Che Clan?

“Maybe.” That emotionless voice rang out once more. This entire dimension was being destroyed, countless people of the Che Clan died and became part of the weapon. The devilish figure actually let out a sigh, “I was created by you all and ultimately, your wills shaped mine to a certain extent. Your obsession is so strong. Since this is the case, from now onwards, let me be you and you me.”

As the sound of its voice faded, the divine weapon broke through Che Hou’s world refinement force and drew his body closer. After that, the power in the divine weapon slowly flowed into Che Hou bit by bit. Che Hou’s body trembled violently, it felt like he was being possessed by a devil. In this dimension, the boundless energy here surged towards him endlessly, his body became a receptacle that wanted to digest all the energy in this world.

The terrifying primordial divine flames burned through everything, including the fabric of this dimension.

Currently, at the ruins of the Che Clan, there were still many people excavating things. There were even conflicts between them and a face off occurred.

But at this moment. The entire world seemed to tremble. After that, space cracked apart as an overwhelming might that could destroy everything erupted forth. Within the dimension, a beam of light that could tear everything apart also appeared.

“No…” A person screamed and wanted to flee, but everything was already too late. That beam of light exploded. Everything here turned to ashes. The numerous reconstructed buildings in the Che Clan’s ruins crumbled apart as this place became a ruin once again. That beam of light enveloped the entire ruin and continued extending towards the surroundings. It seemed to have enough power to destroy the world. People from afar saw the destructive light but a few moments later, the light radius expanded and enveloped them completely, absorbing their lives. The light then congregated into a terrifying beam and shot up into the clouds like it wanted to break through the nine heavens.

The location where the Che Clan once existed, was completely destroyed again. Countless people in the Earth Region saw the light. Their hearts pounded madly. Did something happen in the Che Clan’s area again?

At this moment, the Che Clan Leader, Che Hou, stood in the airspace above the ruins. His aura was completely different from before. It felt more like a cold divine weapon than a human. So cold that it was terrifying. The him now was that ultimate divine weapon and that divine weapon was him.

The generations of the Che Clan put in all their efforts to create the ultimate divine weapon but eventually, the weapon annihilated most of the experts of the Che Clan. But even so, the wills of the Che Clan also influenced the weapon and in the end, the fusion between Che Hou and the weapon took place.

He, Che Hou, was no longer the Che Hou of the past.

Boundless light radiated from him, spreading outwards, creating a golden world. Very soon, numerous gold-colored palaces and buildings rose up from the ruins, this creation extended out in all directions and the reconstruction was actually a model of the past Che Clan.

Since the Che Clan was destroyed, he wanted to create a brand new Che Clan. Right now, with his existence, the Che Clan would never be exterminated again. He would represent the entire Che Clan. His life alone contained the lives of countless members of the Che Clan.

…

The news regarding the great commotion in the Che Clan’s ruins began to spread through the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The Earth Region was trembling from the commotion.

Many people wanted to know what happened there exactly.

Soon after, there were people saying that they saw the Che Clan Leader, Che Hou. He has returned and his cultivation base made a huge breakthrough and he was now equivalent to a godking. He returned to rebuild the Che Clan and was prepared to extend his influence in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Could it be that the tripartite situation would be broken? Did the fourth great faction just appear?

Given the huge transformation to the Che Clan, most probably the other three great factions wouldn’t be able to ignore this, right?

In the Heaven Vault, Qin Wentian felt some shock after he received the news. The Che Clan was actually rebuilt and there seemed to be only the Che Clan Leader in the Che Clan? Something seemed strange.

Qi Yu took the initiative to volunteer for a mission. He wanted to head to the Che Clan to gather information. If he could do so, he also wanted to kill Che Hou. However, Qin Wentian didn’t agree. He could feel something highly unusual about this. Since the Che Clan Leader has reappeared and destroyed the reconstructed buildings in his territory to rebuild the Che Clan anew, things wouldn’t be so simple. Maybe, the truth was like what was rumoured in the outside world. Che Hou might have made a huge breakthrough in his cultivation and reached a completely different level!
