Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 648: Chapter 647, The Strange Place_1

Yuan Ziyi said, "I’ve already answered your question. Now it’s my turn. How did you obtain the Seal of Destruction?"

Jiang Chen sighed.

"It was a winter filled with wind and snow. The snow was falling heavily. Back when I was still a Swordsman, I went out and saw a seal lying in front of my door. I thought it was a gift from heaven, so I unceremoniously refined it and became the God of Destruction."

Yuan Ziyi was speechless. I’m asking you a question, and you’re bullshitting me? A pie falling from the sky? Who would believe that?

Yuan Ziyi said coldly, "You’re not being sincere."

"It’s true. I can swear to heaven."

"Fine, then swear."

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

Jiang Chen smiled. "You’d believe it if I swore?"

"I would."

Uh... Did I just dig my own grave? Why the hell would I swear? I don’t even believe what I just said!

"Alright, I was lying. I actually found this thing in a cave. There was a skeleton next to it, which I think must have been the owner of the Seal of Destruction. I buried him and then obtained his God’s Seal."

Yuan Ziyi said, "Then swear that this is the truth."

Damn... Why another oath? Is she digging another hole for me?

Jiang Chen said coldly, "Believe it or not, that’s how it is. Now it’s my turn to ask questions. Where is the Destiny Tree?"

"It’s about thirty million kilometers from here..."

"Are there Sovereign’s Fruits?"

"There are."

"Can they be picked?"

"No."

"Why not?"

Yuan Ziyi said, "My turn. How old are you?"

"88."

"Do you have a wife?"

"No."

"What’s your name?"

"Jiang... Sun Wukong."

Jiang Chen watched Yuan Ziyi warily. This woman is trying to trick me again! I almost fell for it. Damn woman, I’ll kill you sooner or later.

Yuan Ziyi looked shocked. He actually recovered? This is the power of the Charming Seal, able to charm others. I can’t believe Jiang Chen didn’t fall for it.

Suddenly, Yuan Ziyi felt this man was the most troublesome person she had ever met, even more so than a Lord.

Jiang Chen felt the same; this woman, Yuan Ziyi, was tougher to deal with than a Lord.

I can’t stay any longer. If I do, this woman will eventually be the death of me. Time to go...

WHOOSH...

With an Instant Step, Jiang Chen disappeared again.

Yuan Ziyi frowned and continued to follow.

Jiang Chen used Instant Step toward the Destiny Tree.

"We have reports from the unit that an outsider has appeared in the center."

"Yes, Yuan Ziyi is intercepting him. Don’t worry, with her on the case, he won’t escape."

"No one can escape the Saintess’s pursuit."

Just then, a figure quickly used Instant Step to leave, vanishing in a flash. The onlookers were confused.

"Who was that just now?"

"I don’t know."

"He didn’t look like one of us."

"Probably from another village."

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

Yuan Ziyi arrived at the village, and the other Divines knelt. "Greetings, Saintess."

Yuan Ziyi said coldly, "Did you see someone just now? He’s very fast; even I couldn’t catch him."

"Reporting to the Saintess, yes, we saw him. He went in that direction."

Yuan Ziyi looked in the direction the person indicated.

She immediately followed.

Jiang Chen was very fast. Using Instant Step to flee, not even a Divine’s Teleport could match Jiang Chen’s speed.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

Jiang Chen stopped.

There was no way forward. A tall mountain blocked his path. The only way to cross it was to fly over.

"Don’t go over there..."

Jiang Chen turned, his brows furrowed.

Fuck. This woman again... Why is she chasing me relentlessly?

Yuan Ziyi shouted, "Don’t go over!"

As if I’d believe you!

Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate. He soared into the sky and quickly flew towards the other side of the mountain.

Yuan Ziyi’s face paled. Damn it, why doesn’t this guy listen to advice! Now there’s trouble.

Jiang Chen crossed to the other side of the mountain. He saw many decaying trees and barren ground, completely different from where he’d just been.

Huh... It looks like a great battle happened here.

Jiang Chen looked back. The woman hadn’t followed. Only then did he feel at ease. He scanned his surroundings and continued forward.

After walking a few steps, Jiang Chen sensed something strange. It was an indescribable feeling, as if he were being watched, as if someone’s eyes were upon him. The feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Chen frowned and scanned his surroundings again, but found no trace of anyone.

Damn it. What the hell is going on? Why do I feel like I’m being watched?

Jiang Chen stopped.

Yes... This feeling was coming from the decaying trees. These trees weren’t dead; they were alive in another form.

Suddenly, an anomaly occurred.

A tree root shot up from the ground, swiftly trying to entangle Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen quickly dodged. He moved out of its attack range. At the same time, numerous tree roots burst from the ground, lunging at him.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

Jiang Chen continued to use Instant Step to evade, destroying the roots with his Sword Qi as he fled.

CRACK CRACK CRACK...

In an instant, the roots were destroyed.

Those dead-looking trees instantly rose, transforming into Demons and rushing at Jiang Chen. Each tree was imbued with the Power of Laws, possessing strength equivalent to a Divine.

"Grand River Sword Intent!"

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

Sword Qi swept out, annihilating the surrounding Evil Spirits.

Yet, as soon as they were destroyed, the trees reassembled, as if they possessed Immortal Bodies.

Jiang Chen’s expression turned grim.

Fuck. This is just like that woman! They all have Immortal Bodies! How am I supposed to fight this? Forget it, I’m out of here!

Jiang Chen rapidly retreated, flying back the way he came, destroying any decaying trees that blocked his path. He escaped from this eerie area.

What the hell was that?

Yuan Ziyi smiled. "I told you not to go, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you know how dangerous it is, right?"

Jiang Chen shot her a sideways glance. "It’s strange. Those trees are just like you; they have Immortal Bodies. No matter how many times you kill them, they don’t die."

"Of course. They possess the Power of Destiny. No one can kill them unless the Master of Destiny themself intervenes, using the Power of Destiny to cleanse the dark energy from them."

"It’s not just here. Further ahead, there are Strange Demons as well. They are all beings controlled by the Power of Destiny, just like those Divines you encountered when you first arrived."

"But within the Barrier of the Destiny Tree, they have Immortal Bodies."

Jiang Chen asked, "Then why do you have one too?"
