The Supreme Lord Donghuang

The two men who had been blocking Zhou Donghuang from the back and front could not help but freeze when they heard his words.

Not long after, there was a disdainful sneer on their faces.

The young man standing in front of Zhou Donghuang looked him up and down. “It seems like you’re also an ultimate Dharma adept, young lad, otherwise there’s no way you’d be this calm even after knowing the two of us are ultimate Dharma adepts.

“I can tell you’re confident in your abilities.

“It’s just such a pity that you ran into us. It’s fate that you’re so unlucky.”

The moment the young man spoke, a 100-meter-tall image manifested. It was clear that this was the Dharma Power of the young man and, judging by the sync of his body and the Dharma hammer, this did not seem to be too far from Dharmic possession.

Whoosh!

At the same time, the young man behind Zhou Donghuang manifested his own weapon: a 100-meter-tall blade.

This Dharma blade was also quite in sync with the young man’s body. Evidently, this was not too far off from Dharmic possession either.

“With our abilities, young lad, even ultimate Dharma adepts who have mastered the technique of Dharmic possession might find it difficult to go up against us… And as for the ultimate Dharma adepts from the big sects that have mastered that technique, we know who they are.”

At this time, the young man who had summoned the huge hammer said with a condescending smirk on his face, “But you’re not one of those people.”

“So I’d advise you to hand over your ring to us with no fuss, if you want to be spared of the pain!” The young man reminded him.

In the face of the reminder, Zhou Donghuang did nothing but look at him calmly. He said in a sluggish tone, “Looking at the both of you like this makes me want to fight as well.”

The moment he said that, a white tiger created from Dharma Power manifested.

There was one thing, though. This 30-meter-tall White Tiger Dharma Power was normally rather sturdy, like a small hill.

But now that it was standing in front of two 100-meter-tall Dharma Powers, the 30-meter-tall White Tiger Dharma Power seemed rather unsightly. It seemed like a small, white cat that a stiff breeze could knock over.

The young men had been shocked at first when they saw the Dharma Power that Zhou Donghuang had manifested. Soon after, they looked at each other and could not help but burst into laughter. The pair laughed, condescending and loud.

“Hahahahaha… Young lad, we waited this long, only for you to be a late Dharma adept?”

“You’re only a late Dharma adept, and you have to gall to mug us? How funny! You’re probably still asleep and think you’re dreaming, right?”

After they realized that Zhou Donghuang was only a late Dharma adept, the two young men were laughing so hard their stomachs were almost cramping.

Zhou Donghuang was not the least bit irate in the face of their mockery and laughter. With a twist of his body, he seemed to have merged into a single entity with the white tiger. The entity then lunged for the young man who was standing in front of him.

“Roar—”

The white tiger’s jaw opened wide to release a loud roar. The sound reverberated; this was indeed a powerful beast.

“You’re rather talented, mastering the Dharmic possession technique at the late Dharma stage… It’s just such a waste that I can crush you with just my level of training and overall abilities, even if I haven’t mastered the Dharmic possession technique!”

The young man who had manifested the huge hammer smirked condescendingly at Zhou Donghuang as he watched the latter demonstrate his Dharmic possession technique, charging towards him.

Although he had not mastered the technique, his level of training was one notch higher than Zhou Donghuang’s was. As such, his inner Yuan was twice as dense, and he was far stronger than Zhou Donghuang was.

This was the sort of opponent he could tackle with just one move if they insisted on coming at him hard!

Crash!!

With a condescending smirk, the young man brandished his huge hammer all of a sudden. He swung it down on the white tiger’s head. “There’s just too big a gap between our levels of training. Even if you’ve trained your Dharma Power to be much more perfect than mine, it is all in vain.

“Your biggest mistake was taking the initiative to strike against me first.

“You want to do things this way? Fine, we’ll do things your way!”

In that moment, the young man brandished his hammer and made to swing it down, thinking that he had the upper hand.

His partner had thought the same thing.

But in this split second, Zhou Donghuang, who had seemed to become one with the white tiger he had manifested, steeled his gaze. In the next instance, his Divine Will struck out and immediately invaded the young man’s mind.

In that split second, the young man’s face had become devoid of emotions, and the light in his eyes had gone out. At the same time, the huge hammer that had seemed so threatening was left suspending strangely in the air. It then became gradually less solid, as if it could disappear any second.

“Hm?”

Just then, the other young man who had summoned the huge blade was watching this unfold before his eyes. Understanding seemed to flicker in his eyes, but Zhou Donghuang had already taken control of the white tiger and moved directly to strike at the huge hammer that had become less solid.

“Woah—”

By the time the young man’s dull eyes brightened again, he had already sustained severe injuries. His inner Yuan had rejected him, and he coughed up a mouthful of crimson red blood. At the same time, his entire body was shaky, and he struggled to maintain his balance.

“How… how is this possible?!”

The young man who had lost his fighting spirit hastily regained his focus. As he looked at Zhou Donghuang, who was steering the white tiger towards his partner, his eyes were filled with horror and wonder. “Just now… just what exactly happened?”

All he felt before this was something like lighting striking his brain. Everything turned to white in a split second, and he was forced into a trance.

By the time he had regained his consciousness, he found that his Dharma Power had been destroyed. He also realized that he had sustained grave injuries, and that he had lost his will to fight back!

“What happened?”

“How did Huang Dong lose?”

The other young man felt chills going down his spine when he came face to face with the threatening Zhou Donghuang.

Although he did not fully understand what he had seen earlier, it was also because of this that he thought the young man dressed in white was extremely strange. How else could he have injured Huang Dong, who was about as strong as he was, so gravely and so easily?

“Be careful! I have to be careful!”

In the face of the threatening Zhou Donghuang, the other young man silently reminded himself to be careful over and over again. He then took control of his giant blade and brandished it towards Zhou Donghuang, who had seemed to become one with the white tiger.

But in this moment, Zhou Donghuang’s eyes gleamed yet again.

In the next instant, this young man had fallen unconscious as well.

The giant blade seemed to turn illusory shortly after, as if it would disappear any second.

Boom!!

Though the huge blade was 100-meters tall, it had no more power to sustain itself and was strong only on the outside. With a swing of the white tiger’s paw, the blade was destroyed, and the young man was sent following his partner’s footsteps.

“Oof—”

After this young man regained his consciousness, he found that he had sustained serious injuries, and he could not help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

“Hand over the space rings and I’ll spare your lives,” Zhou Donghuang said in a calm tone with a calm gaze, hovering in the air after he had retracted his white tiger.

The two young men were still looking at each other now, and when they did, they could see the shock and incredulity reflected in each other’s gazes. They stared at Zhou Donghuang as if they had seen a ghost. “What the hell are you?!”

“What was that move you used?!”

Although the young man dressed in white who was standing in front of them was a late Dharma adept, the two of them did not dare belittle him anymore. In fact, they were genuinely fearful of him.

Some kind of joke this was!

Regardless of it all, the both of them were still ultimate Dharma adepts. Yet just like this, they were severely wounded. They did not even have the chance to strike.

If their opponent were not merciful, they would have been dead a long time ago.

“Let’s be clear about one thing… I can still get your space rings even if I kill you.”

Zhou Donghuang did not deign to respond to the both of them. His mild tone had frozen over in a split second.

Had these two men threatened him with death earlier on, they would have been dead by now.

Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words, the both space ring from the one already on their hand, and then waived the recognition for the rings before handing them over to Zhou Donghuang.

A good space ring came equipped with a spell to recognize its owner by their blood.

After the recognition feature was set up, no one else could access the ring to retrieve the items stored in it. This held true even if the owner had lost the ring, as long as they were still alive.

Of course, if the owner of the ring were dead, the ring would become an item without an owner. Whoever dripped their blood on it would become the new owner.

Drip drop! Drip drop!

After he set up the recognition and verified the spoils, Zhou Donghuang looked at the two young men again, his eyes gleaming. The two of them seemed like they wanted to say something, but they stopped themselves from doing so.

In the next moment, his Divine Will invaded their consciousness again.

This time, the two of them lost consciousness for a longer period of time before coming back into consciousness.

When the gleam returned to their eyes and they regained consciousness, they looked at each other in shock. “Weren’t we hiding at the back? How did we end up here?”

“I don’t know… When did we get here?”

The two of them had seemed to lose their memories.

In this instant, Zhou Donghuang had already taken his leave, leaving the pair and moving far into the distance.

Earlier on, he had used his Divine Will to put to good use a secret Divine Will technique he had gleaned from an ancient relic in his past life. This technique was used to wipe about 15 minutes’ worth of memory from a person’s mind.

Of course, there were a lot of restrictions to this as well.

The individual’s Divine Will had to be one stage of training higher than their opponent before the technique could be used against them.

If they were a Divine Transformation adept, they could use this secret technique to wipe 15 minutes’ worth of memory from a Primordial Soul adept.

Zhou Donghuang’s level of training was lower than the both of them, but his current Divine Will was good enough to be used to wipe their memory since neither of them had channeled their Divine Will as of now.

He had wiped their memory because he did not want anyone knowing that he had channeled Divine Will at the Dharma stage.

This was something that would detriment him if the news got out.

Today, those two men did not know that he had used his Divine Will, because they were not aware of its existence… But once the two of the left and spoke of this matter to one of their elders, their elders would definitely be able to confirm that the both of them had been influenced by Divine Will.

“The both of you had only tried to steal from me and did not intend to kill me… So I’ll spare your lives, too.”

And this was also the reason why Zhou Donghuang had chosen to wipe the last 15 minutes from their memory after he got what he wanted, instead of killing them.

The two people, who were still in a daze after losing 15 minutes, would never know that they had just rubbed shoulders with the Grim Reaper.

Had they made an attempt on Zhou Donghuang’s life, there was no doubt that they would have died there and then!
