Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 685: Chapter 684, The Master of Termination Did Not Die_1

At that moment, Jiang Chen made his move. He stood in front of Yuan Ziyi, displaying his Grand River Sword Intent to block her way forward. With a wave of her hand, Yuan Ziyi faced off with Jiang Chen, her Sword of Destiny clashing against his.

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG...

The two matched each other in strength.

Yuan Ziyi said, "Jiang Chen, you dare to stop me?"

"There’s nothing I dare not do, Yuan Ziyi. With me here, you won’t get the Fruit of Termination."

"Is that so? I’ve already obtained another Destiny Law; you’re no match for me." Yuan Ziyi wielded her sword again, her Sword of Destiny striking at Jiang Chen. That Sword Qi, almost imperceptible, brushed past the depths of Jiang Chen’s soul. At that instant, Jiang Chen quickly employed the Power of Termination to defend himself.

That was close. What kind of Sword Qi is this? Has Yuan Ziyi become so formidable? To think she could injure the soul with Sword Qi. This woman, having become a Wanderer, is even more terrifying than Su Maobin. Su Maobin mastered the Space Law, creating his own Void Sword with Spatial Seals. Whereas Yuan Ziyi controlled Destiny Law, formulating her Sword of Destiny. This one sword could slaughter the soul. Much more powerful than any Void Sword.

Yuan Ziyi said, "Eh, you can actually withstand it. It seems you have a profound understanding of the Power of Termination."

"Yuan Ziyi, you won’t succeed."

"Let’s join forces and deal with her."

"Yuan Ziyi, don’t forget where you are. This is the presence of The End of the God Tree. Master of Termination, please repel this Son of Destiny."

"Please, Master of Termination, repel this Son of Destiny."

At that very moment, The End of the God Tree emitted a barrier, casting Yuan Ziyi out.

At that moment, Jiang Chen turned back to look at the Tree of Termination.

Does this tree possess divine consciousness? That’s right. The Master of Termination isn’t dead, just under a Seal. His soul is absent, but his physical body remains. It’s through sheer Willpower that Yuan Ziyi is being kept out.

Yuan Ziyi saw she couldn’t succeed. What a pity, she thought.

Yuan Ziyi smiled and said, "Jiang Chen, you are not the reincarnation of the Master of Termination. When he returns, you will become his nourishment.

"He will absorb the Power of Termination within you, and you will become an Ordinary God.

"You won’t be able to face the Master of Termination in his prime. However, if you follow me, there’s a slight chance of hope. I’ve already promised that once I kill the Master of Termination, I will share destiny with you."

Jiang Chen remained silent.

Just now, as The End of the God Tree released its power, Jiang Chen saw a corpse hidden beneath The End of the God Tree, lying at its roots. Though lacking any breath of life, Jiang Chen could sense a very strong Power of Termination within that body, far greater than his own.

The Master of Termination, under a Seal. Waiting for the one to reincarnate.

And Jiang Chen knew Yuan Ziyi was right; he wasn’t the Master of Termination, he merely obtained the Rule of Termination. But following Yuan Ziyi was something Jiang Chen was even less willing to do.

This woman is too clever. Simply unpredictable.

Jiang Chen chuckled. "Actually, I’ve also considered following you, but you’re too smart."

"What’s wrong with following a clever woman?"

"Well... If I followed you, you might sell me out without me even knowing. If you were just a bit dumber, maybe I’d be willing."

Yuan Ziyi said, "That’s a pity. In the future, you will face my pursuit. And when the Master of Termination reincarnates and returns, he won’t let you off either.

"You should know that I must battle the Master of Termination someday. You have only two options: either take refuge with me or with the Master of Termination.

"Considering our relationship, taking refuge with me is the right choice."

Jiang Chen mentally retorted. Now you’re playing the sentiment card? Do we have a relationship? Clearly, Yuan Ziyi is scheming against me. A woman who possesses the Destiny Law couldn’t possibly be outwitted.

Jiang Chen smirked. "Don’t you worry I might absorb the Master of Termination?"

"Do you think you can?"

"Why not?"

"The people around you are guarding the Master of Termination. Do you think they would want you to absorb him? If you don’t believe me, why not enter beneath the Tree of Termination and absorb that skeleton?"

Jiang Chen was just entertaining the thought when he was mysteriously transported away.

Damn it... I didn’t even say anything, and I was sent away. Can’t I even think about it?

Yuan Ziyi laughed lightly. "What do you think?"

Jiang Chen shot her a sidelong glance. Damn it, she’s outsmarted me again.

Jiang Chen inquired, "Who is the Master of Termination?"

Yuan Ziyi shook her head. "I don’t know either. But he should be out there; they are all waiting for the Master of Termination’s reincarnation to return.

"I’m different. I am the Master of Destiny, yet I’ve shared all of destiny, allowing everyone to control their own fate. The Master of Termination is our greatest enemy.

"Joining forces is the best choice."

Jiang Chen looked at Belya, then at the Fruit of Termination, and immediately used Instant Step towards it. But the next second, Jiang Chen appeared outside, not atop the Tree of Termination. Jiang Chen frowned deeply.

Yuan Ziyi laughed, saying, "It’s futile. You want to obtain more Fruit of Termination, to gain more Power of Termination, but the Master of Termination has sensed your intentions and won’t let you succeed.

"You can think of it this way: in fact, The End of the God Tree is the embodiment of the Master of Termination."

Belya said, "Jiang Chen, leave behind the Rule of Termination."

Jiang Chen sighed. "It seems there’s only one way left now."

WHOOSH...

He used Instant Step, turning to leave. Without the Power of Termination or the means to kill Yuan Ziyi, his only option was to leave and thoroughly devise a plan, to see if he could merge the two powers.

Yuan Ziyi thought, What a pity. I was so close. So close to attaining the Power of Termination. If the Master of Termination hasn’t fully controlled the Power of Termination yet, then I would have won this time.

Then, Yuan Ziyi also turned and departed, returning to the Continent of All-Gods.

「...」

「Continent of All-Gods」

Yuan Ziyi opened her eyes. Have I failed? Jiang Chen is truly my nemesis! His clone possesses the Destiny Law. I must acquire it, or my destiny will not be complete, barring me from contending with the Master of Termination later on. What a shame... Jiang Chen won’t serve me. I should head to the Evil God Continent for now, to secure the Destiny Law...

Turning, she flew towards the Difiled God Continent.

「Land of Sin」

’Jiang Chen’ reached the Land of Sin. He was sitting in a tavern, sipping his drink, already aware of recent events: Yuan Ziyi’s return to the Continent of All-Gods. She had become the Master of Sword Pavilion. As for his own position as Master, he had been replaced by Yuan Ziyi. She passed down the Sword of Destiny, and all Wanderers began to cultivate it, even those in the Land of Sin. ’Jiang Chen’ knew that those cultivating the Sword of Destiny had become Yuan Ziyi’s backing.

"I’ve heard a new Son of Destiny has emerged in the Difiled God Continent."

"Is that true?"

"Naturally, it is. The Son of Destiny has already gained the protection of the Difiled God Continent and is now a Divine being."

"Our Master, Yuan Ziyi, is the real Master of Destiny; that Son of Destiny is doomed."

"Not necessarily. The Lords of the Difiled God Continent are all supporting him."

’Jiang Chen’ contemplated thoughtfully. The Son of Destiny from the Difiled God Continent, huh? I must acquire him to contend with Yuan Ziyi.
