Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 643: Chapter 642: Another Destiny Fruit_1

Zhuang Maobin watched the fight between Jiang Chen and the Ancient Sword Spirit thoughtfully. The Ancient Sword Spirit had no power to fight back.

Both were Divine beings, but there was a great disparity among them. Take the Ancient Sword Spirit, for example; despite its profound comprehension, Jiang Chen’s strength was even more terrifying, completely suppressing it.

Zhuang Maobin’s face was full of confusion. How did this guy do it? How did he achieve a Divine position without using the Destiny Fruit? His Seal of Destruction seems different.

"So strong."

"Nonsense. That’s the Master of Sword Pavilion, the strongest Divine being among the Wanderers."

"Back then, the Master could kill a Divine being with the body of a Demigod. Now that he has become the God of Destruction, he is naturally more formidable, already at the pinnacle of Divine beings."

"Unless a Lord steps in, no one can suppress the Master."

"Even a Lord might not be able to suppress the Master. Don’t forget, he has been to the Difiled God Continent and the Underworld Continent to kill Divine beings; even Lords get a headache thinking about him."

"I heard that the Ancient Sword Spirit was dissatisfied with Jiang Chen being the Master, so it challenged him."

"Hmph, what courage does the Ancient Sword Spirit have to challenge the position of Master?"

The Ancient Sword Spirit looked at Jiang Chen and exclaimed, "How can you be so strong?"

"Nothing is impossible," Jiang Chen replied. "Ancient Sword Spirit, although you’re a Divine being, there’s a great distance between us. Aside from the Lords, no Divine being is my match."

The Ancient Sword Spirit nodded. "Alright, from now on, we will naturally follow you."

"Let’s go. I have some questions for you," Jiang Chen said.

A few of them returned to the Ancient Sword Spirit’s Divine Palace.

Jiang Chen asked, "How did you manage to escape from the control of the Lord of Death?" He knew the other party was the Lord of Death. Even Divine beings found it hard to escape, let alone a Demigod. In that situation, it should have been impossible for the eight of them, including the Ancient Sword Spirit, to elude the Lord of Death’s control.

The Ancient Sword Spirit said, "We went to the Battlefield of the Gods."

"Then what?"

"We met Zhuang Maobin. He gave each of us a fruit, and after eating it, we escaped the Lord of Death’s control."

Zhuang Maobin? Him again? Jiang Chen thought.

The Ancient Sword Spirit continued, "We owe him a favor, so we naturally helped him try to take back the position of Master."

"He is very strong."

"He’s even capable of facing the Lord of Death head-on."

Jiang Chen gasped, "What? Face the Lord of Death head-on?"

The Ancient Sword Spirit nodded. "Yes. When we broke free from control, the Lord of Death caught up. Zhuang Maobin alone faced the Lord of Death head-on. Although the opponent was a Lord, Zhuang Maobin was still able to withdraw unscathed."

Jiang Chen was lost in thought. That strong? Able to confront a Lord with the power of a Divine being?

Jiang Chen had witnessed the power of a Lord, capable of controlling everything at noon, especially the Domain power of a Lord, which made a Divine being’s Divine Domain seem utterly insignificant. Within a Lord’s Domain, no Divine being could escape. Controlling time, controlling space. Controlling everything...

It seems Zhuang Maobin is indeed not simple!

Jiang Chen asked, "What kind of fruit did he give you?"

The Ancient Sword Spirit shook its head. "I’m not sure. I asked him afterward, and he told me it was the Destiny Fruit, a kind of fruit that can condense seals."

"Such fruit is very rare, growing at the center of the Battlefield of the Gods."

"Have you seen them?" Jiang Chen inquired.

"We have not."

Jiang Chen lost interest in the rest of the story. He returned to the Continent of All-Gods, where, under Zhuang Maobin’s leadership, he had joined the Sword Pavilion. Zhao Yuyan had died, and there was chaos within the Sword Pavilion. Zhuang Maobin had become the Master of Sword Pavilion.

Jiang Chen asked, "Do you know Zhuang Maobin’s identity?"

The others were perplexed. Identity? Isn’t he a Wanderer? What other identity could he have?

Jiang Chen smiled. "I’ll take my leave first..."

The few of them were baffled. After Jiang Chen had left, one asked, "What does the Master of Sword Pavilion mean? Could it be that Zhuang Maobin is not a Wanderer?"

"Is our Master suspecting Zhuang Maobin’s identity?"

"Zhuang Maobin is a Wanderer; there’s no doubt about that. He has True Qi in his body, and True Qi is proof of being a Wanderer."

The Ancient Sword Spirit said, "Forget it. The Master has his reasons. He is so strong, we couldn’t help Zhuang Maobin reclaim the position of Pavilion Master anyway."

"Let’s drop this issue. From now on, we will follow the Master and look for opportunities to enter the Battlefield of the Gods and find the Sovereign’s Fruits."

The others nodded in agreement.

Speaking of the Sovereign’s Fruits, their eyes lit up with fervor. According to Zhuang Maobin, there was a mysterious tree in the Battlefield of the Gods laden with many fruits, the Destiny Fruit being one of them. Further up were the Sovereign’s Fruits; consuming such fruit would enable one to ascend to the status of Lord—an unconditional ascension at that. And above that mysterious tree, there was an even better fruit: the Supreme Fruits. That represents an existence even higher than that of a Lord!

"How about the few of us, together with Master Jiang Chen and Zhuang Maobin, go to the Battlefield of the Gods and strive to obtain the Sovereign’s Fruits?" one suggested.

"Indeed. Jiang Chen is very strong; he has a chance of acquiring the Sovereign’s Fruits."

"Will Jiang Chen agree?"

"He will definitely agree. Don’t forget, he is a Divine being, and which Divine being doesn’t wish to become a Lord?"

"All Divine beings yearn to become Lords. In the Alliance of All-Gods, there are many Divine beings, but only thirteen Lords."

The group discussed their plan to collaborate with Jiang Chen and Zhuang Maobin to go to the Battlefield of the Gods, seek the Sovereign’s Fruits, and by consuming them, become Lords.

The Ancient Sword Spirit shook its head. "Don’t tell him for now. Besides, the center of the Battlefield of the Gods is extremely dangerous. Didn’t you listen to Zhuang Maobin’s advice? Even he couldn’t obtain such fruits!"

「...」

「Inside the Sword Pavilion.」

Jiang Chen entered the Sword Pavilion and immediately sought out Zhuang Maobin.

He asked, "Do you know of the Destiny Fruit?"

Zhuang Maobin nodded. "The Ancient Sword Spirit told you, didn’t it?"

"Indeed. When I encountered them, they had been schemed against by the Lord of Death, but now they have freed themselves from the control of the Goddess of Death. How did you get the Destiny Fruit?"

"I picked it."

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned. "It’s that simple?"

"What did you think?" Zhuang Maobin replied. "The Destiny Fruit just grows on trees. You just pick it. But there are many Lords and Divine beings around, so you need to be careful. Otherwise, you could lose your life."

"Have you been to the center of the Battlefield of the Gods?"

"I have."

Zhuang Maobin said, "They are very fast. I only managed to leave the center of the Battlefield of the Gods after learning Instant Step. They, however, could not escape from the Battlefield of the Gods."

"One last question," Jiang Chen said.

"Master, ask whatever you want!"

"Was it you who killed Zhao Yuyan?"

Zhuang Maobin looked startled. "You suspect that I killed Zhao Yuyan to steal her Spatial Seal?"

"Indeed."

Zhuang Maobin shook his head. "No. She died at the hands of those people in the Battlefield of the Gods. I did not kill her, but my Time-Space Seal was indeed hers."

Jiang Chen pondered. Is what this guy saying true or false? Is Zhuang Maobin still Zhuang Maobin? Or could he have been possessed?
