I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 4317: Chapter 2012: Awakening

"Kings and nobles, are they born as such?"

Outside the Nanli Realm, with the roar of thunder, a figure soaring into the sky was none other than Cao Erzhu.

He transformed directly into a streak of purple lightning and flashed up, following the ancient swordsmen like You Tu and Wen Ting in making his move.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Among the younger generation, although Cao Erzhu’s reputation wasn’t as grand as Lord Shou’s, he had already shown his face in the Dao Imparting Mirror of the Feng family in the Southern Region.

To say nothing more, just the five words "Kui Leihan’s son" destined him never to be an obscure figure.

But to think that Cao Erzhu’s fame could match You Tu, Wen Ting, or even the Demon Ancestor Saint Xin, was surely overestimating Erzhu.

"He’s only at the Spiritual Cultivation Void, hasn’t even achieved demi-saint yet?"

"The ancient swordsmen, even without sanctification, can become patriarchs because they follow the path of opening realms and reaching the patriarch level in the third realm. On what basis should Cao Erzhu come forth, just on hot-bloodedness?"

"If his father hadn’t sacrificed, hadn’t stripped away the Demon Ancestor Lei’s authority, Cao Erzhu cultivating the spirit of thunder would still be under the Demon Ancestor’s control. In the end, his success relies on his father!"

"Yes, and even if his father sacrificed, it doesn’t mean the Demon Ancestor wouldn’t, and who knows if his father’s protected seed would be reclaimed by Saint Xin, or even impact the Ancestor of Thought, hmm!"

"Too impulsive, I think he’s been led astray by some petty guidance..."

The five regions were in uproar.

It’s not just the spiritual cultivators from all over.

At this moment, even Jin Ren within Jiang Nayi’s body felt that Cao Erzhu had been guided.

But he swore it wasn’t him.

Erzhu had a good relationship with the original self, Jin Ren knew this well.

You Tu, Wen Ting, and Elder Wuyue, there was still a glimmer of hope, perhaps they could succeed, how could Jin Ren pin his hopes on Cao Erzhu, who was in the higher void, probably interrupting the World Sealing Chains?

"I must guide him back!"

There wasn’t even time to pretend, Jin Ren directly took over the will of the host Jiang Nayi, and the Will Dao Disc rotated and spread out under his feet.

But it was also at this very moment...

Buzz!

His thoughts shook violently.

The connection to the weakened main self in the Time Realm Channel suddenly became extremely clear.

Jin Ren was dumbfounded.

He saw a chaotic, shattered scene.

There, the Ancestral God Destruction Tribulation overlapped one after another, covering the sky and nearly engulfing the entire world.

Tribulation thunder descended like it was free, each drop bringing thousands of trails of lightning, not to mention the tribulation endurers, even if an Ancestral God went through, they could be struck dead.

It was amidst this apocalyptic thunder disaster that Jin Ren felt his self-will, dwelling in Jiang Nayi, forcibly replaced for a moment, and then thrown back.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Inside him, it seemed countless potentials were unleashed.

As if all the chains binding him were severed, he overdrew himself completely, and thunder and chaos rippled before him, while his entire Body, Spirit, and Will collapsed entirely.

"I..."

Jin Ren was powerless to struggle, powerless to resist.

He could only let himself, the hidden self behind the five regions as the puppeteer, suddenly reach the extreme, run wild on the spot.

Was the main self struck dead by divine calamity?

Using me as a replacement?

Jin Ren was dumbfounded, and as he completely lost control, he heard the main self’s extremely bleak, fragmented, and weakened voice ringing in his ear:

"I’m sorry, Jin Ren."

"Next time, I promise you’ll live a peaceful life. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning!"

...

"Ah, what am I doing?"

Jiang Nayi scratched his head, suddenly regaining consciousness, and took back control of his body.

He looked bewilderedly at the array diagram of the Upanishad Formation that spread out under his feet, still immersed in the beautiful fantasy of how the Demon Ancestor would reward him after the battle.

With an unconscious glance upwards, his vision suddenly broadened.

"Phew."

Gentle wind stirred, and the world seemed silent.

What appeared before his eyes was the Tree of Memory, grown enough to hold up the heavens, a streak of purple lightning flowing across the distant sky, and the Demon Ancestor, retrieving the fetal origin mother coffin beside the Time Realm Channel...

And beneath the Tree of Memory, stood foolishly, himself gazing upward!

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Nayi was drawn to another beautiful scene.

He saw beneath the big tree, a stubborn green grass shoot breaking through the soil, poking its head out as if just beginning to peer at the world.

It was much like himself, living under the protection of his elder brother, Jiang Buyi, oblivious to the guardianship, deludedly hoping to surpass but unaware of the insurmountable class barriers between grass and wood.

"But as long as you work hard, there must be hope, right?"

Sizzle!

The power of the Tree of Memory slightly leaked.

Not even a breath, the tender grass bud, harboring hopes of new life, was crushed into powder for being too close.

Jiang Nayi’s life’s lens also froze completely, on this final scene of nothingness.

Rumble——

A beam of golden thunder light surged skyward.

Beneath the Tree of Memory, a magnificent force wave suddenly exploded, shattering everything within miles, obliterating all forms of life and energy in the area.

"Roar!!!"

The furious roar of a beast plowed through the sky.

This cry came belatedly, yet fully suppressed the shock brought to the world by Cao Erzhu’s assault on Saint Xin, drawing eyes irresistibly towards the Tree of Memory.

"This is..."

Above the Sea of Memory, Zero, crafted by the fallen-world sky crystal, turned its head, its pupils visibly quivered.

It saw Xu Xiaoshou’s backup plan Jiang Nayi suddenly crack and die.

The golden, raging power erupted from within, directly bursting Jiang Nayi’s Body, Spirit, and Will, dead beyond death.
