Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 653: Chapter 652, If the deal fails, go back to find Yuan Ziyi_1

But now, this old man was actually asking him to make an oath.

If this had been the past, Jiang Chen would have sworn without hesitation, but now it was different.

Because there existed a mark known as the Oath Mark. This Oath Mark held no combat power. However, once an oath was recorded, if it was breached, the one who made it would face repercussions and could even die.

The Five Thunderstrikes? Perhaps they really did exist.

Belya spoke slowly, "Young man, you can’t hide your thoughts from me. I see it now; you have ambitions. You want to control the Power of Destiny, and at the same time, you also want to control the Power of Termination."

"But let me tell you, it’s impossible for the Power of Destiny and the Power of Termination to be held by the same person."

"I believe you’ve also seen that our group desires to control the Power of Destiny, as well as the ultimate power."

"There’s only one way now: join our group, take an oath, and I will give you a Fruit of Termination. This will allow you to contend with the Power of Destiny."

Would using a fake name work? Jiang Chen wondered. But looking at this group of old fossils, he figured he probably couldn’t deceive them. They would definitely see through such a petty trick.

The rest nodded in agreement.

"Exactly. If you want the Fruit of Termination, you must join our side, and you must take an oath."

"You can’t hide your intentions from us. Don’t forget, we have lived for millions of years. How could we not understand your thoughts?"

"You have only this choice now if you wish to gain the Power of Termination; you must join our camp."

"It seems Master Belya is right; he wants to obtain the ultimate power while also desiring the Power of Destiny."

"Swear your oath, young man."

Jiang Chen burst into laughter. "Swear an oath? Do you take me for a fool? Now that you’ve figured out my intentions, I guess I have no choice but to play hardball."

WHOOSH...

Jiang Chen immediately deployed the Grand River Sword Intent.

Countless Sword Qi swept in all directions.

"Courting death! A mere Divine like you dares to resist?"

"Hmph, we are all Lords. Do you think you can succeed?"

"Kill him."

"No one can kill anyone right under our noses!"

The moment Jiang Chen made his move, everyone looked on disdainfully.

Does he even know where this is? This is The Third Realm! Powerful Lords abound here, yet a mere Divine dares to act so presumptuously before them.

Belya waved his hand, and all the Sword Qi was caught, frozen in mid-air.

Jiang Chen exclaimed, "Time Lord!"

Indeed, Belya was a Time Lord.

The abilities of a Time Lord were quite marvelous. They could freeze time within a certain range and even reverse it. Any attack on a Time Lord would cause no harm.

The Time Lord froze time.

Belya said, "Young man, it’s no use. You are still just a God of Destruction, not a Destruction Lord. Only when you become a Destruction Lord will you be able to destroy my Time Domain."

Jiang Chen smirked. "I was just testing your Strength. It seems your Strength is indeed not weak."

The crowd was furious. Testing? What makes a mere Divine like him think he has the right to test us?

Belya looked at Jiang Chen and smiled. "Your Power of Destruction is very special. There’s no aura of destiny in your Seal of Destruction. It seems you’ve grown independently, cultivating your own mark. How did you cultivate it?"

At this moment, Belya was extremely curious about Jiang Chen.

In the instant they clashed, Belya, who possessed the Power of Termination, could sense the aura of destiny from others, but Jiang Chen had none. This meant Jiang Chen would not be controlled by the Power of Destiny in the future. And this unique power of his, free from the bonds of destiny, was in itself another form of the Power of Termination.

Jiang Chen smiled. "I don’t need to tell you. You possess the Power of Termination, but it’s ineffective against me."

Belya asked, "Then, are you willing to join us?"

"I will not join any faction. If I cannot obtain it that way, so be it. I will cultivate a power that surpasses both Destiny and Termination, one that is truly unique to me."

"My fate is mine to control, not dictated by the heavens."

"The so-called Destiny can never bind me."

WHOOSH...

Jiang Chen turned and left.

Belya exclaimed, "This young man is an expert! He condensed the Seal of Destruction himself, and his mark is entirely different, as if he has broken free from the rules of our universe!"

The rest were stunned.

"What? How could he possibly break free from the rules of our universe? That’s absolutely impossible!"

"Master Belya, what do you mean?"

"I also find it strange that his Power of Destruction is different. How did this young man manage that?"

"Could he be the Son of Destiny?"

"Impossible. Master Belya possesses the Power of Termination and would be able to sense if he were. Clearly, he’s not."

"Then why?"

Belya said, "That’s why I said he’s very special. He’s aligned with neither Destiny nor Termination. In short, he’s very unique."

"What should we do then?"

Belya shook his head; he was also unsure of what to do now.

The Master of Destiny had already reincarnated and returned. They could not escape the Continent of Destiny’s Third Region, so now they could only wait for the Continent of Destiny itself to return.

Jiang Chen left The Third Realm.

He had never expected the Continent of Destiny to hold so many secrets.

The Destiny Law, the Rule of Termination... The descendants of the Continent of Destiny, Ancient Gods, Ancient Lords... Now I must increase my Strength. I might as well find a place to enter seclusion and ignore Destiny and Termination... But on second thought, that wouldn’t work. My power is unique. If Destiny found out, wouldn’t it try to eradicate me? No emperor would allow anyone to threaten his rule.

Jiang Chen halted his steps. He suddenly thought of a possibility.

No wonder Zhuang Maobin had passed the Sword Pavilion to me and become my subordinate. I kept puzzling over it, but now it’s clear. It was because Zhuang Maobin sensed something about me he didn’t fully understand. He knew my power was unique. Therefore, Zhuang Maobin wanted to understand it. By understanding it, he could eliminate any potential threat. Zhuang Maobin is indeed a fearsome man! He’s been targeting me from the beginning, definitely wanting to learn how I condensed my mark. All the mysteries are now unraveled. Zhuang Maobin is the Son of Destiny!

This is giving me a headache. What should I do now? Zhuang Maobin isn’t that easy to deal with! I wonder if a 100-fold power increase would be enough to kill him?

Jiang Chen chuckled to himself. Since that’s the case, I might as well spread my method, let everyone become a Divine, free from the control of Destiny. All Divines, all Wanderers, could then be free of Destiny’s control. But doing so would break the rules! How could Destiny, that old fox, let me off? I’m doomed; it’s another endless cycle!

Right, Yuan Ziyi... She wants to follow me; she must have discovered the secret. I might as well bring her to my side. She probably wants to break free from Destiny’s control too.
