Chapter 1 争

“Fight! Fight…!” The one speaking wasn’t Fang Senyan, but Fu, struggling in a wretched state. His face was pale, his eyes filled with madness and hope. He stared at Zheng for a long time before saying, word by word, “Tell me, are we brothers?”

Zheng didn’t turn his head, and said faintly,

“You actually already know the answer. Why do you still ask?”

Fu’s entire body trembled violently. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then fell still. When a person’s heart completely collapses, they either go mad or fall into despair.

The self-important Fu was severely injured by Fang Senyan. The arrogance built on his strength instantly crumbled. Now, upon learning that his most precious childhood memories of kinship were completely fabricated, it could be said that his life instantly lost its meaning.

The most likely thing a person driven mad will do is destroy, but the severely injured Fu could only destroy his own life at this point.

So, he died.

Died in despair.

“Can’t let it go to waste.” Zheng looked at Fu’s corpse and the dying Xiang. Two strange tentacles suddenly shot out from his back, wrapping around the two corpses before casually tossing them into the spiral abyss below.

The tentacles were only as thick as fingers, but the two corpses together weighed at least one hundred and fifty kilograms. The two tentacles effortlessly flung them into the center of the abyss, throwing them at least a hundred meters away, showing how terrifying their power was.

Then, Zheng looked at Fang Senyan and said:

“Do you have any last words to say?”

He attacked the moment he spoke. From Zheng’s two tentacles, razor-sharp blades like Wolverine’s claws suddenly sprang out. These things possessed terrifying extermination properties. With each word he spoke, he attacked the severely injured Fang Senyan once, leaving behind a horribly deep wound. By the time he finished speaking, Fang Senyan was covered in blood. The blood vessels, tendons, bones of his limbs had been completely severed, connected only by a layer of skin.

Zheng’s cruel attacks only made Fang Senyan groan softly. He said faintly:

“Actually, what you’re doing is unnecessary. Even if my limbs were intact, I wouldn’t be able to attack.”

Zheng smiled and said:

“It’s never bad to be cautious. Besides, if you were in my position, what would you do?”

Fang Senyan said very straightforwardly:

“I would directly cut your throat.”

Zheng laughed heartily:

“If it weren’t to keep my father’s food fresh, then I would have done that too.”

“Food?” Fang Senyan asked in confusion.

It seemed that Zheng wasn’t wary of Fang Senyan. Or rather, Zheng had absolute confidence in his own judgment, and in his heart, he still regarded Fang Senyan as an opponent, so he maintained basic respect, and was therefore willing to answer Fang Senyan’s question:

“Do you think that as a human, you can freely travel through time and space and kill people comfortably? Of course not! The more you gain, the more you lose. This is an eternal truth. In order to do this, my father can no longer be considered human, and he only has two hours a day to have a clear consciousness.”

Fang Senyan was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

“Since you have the ability to travel through time and space, then why don’t you travel back to when my father or I were a few years old and kill us? Wouldn’t that be the end of it once and for all?”

Zheng revealed a look of helplessness, as if talking to a frog in a well:

“Do you think traveling through the temporal turbulence and accurately locating the target’s parallel space is such an easy thing? This kind of thing is very simple in the Nightmare Space, or what should now be called the Noah Space, but for humans, it means risking having their souls shattered! Calculating the data for these traversals and actually traversing requires you to pay a huge price that you can’t imagine!”

“Finally, your question sounds very reasonable, but do you think that you could bear much life source energy when you were young? It’s just like the famous Chinese tonic ginseng. The ginseng that has just sprouted has no medicinal effect at all. Only ginseng that is hundreds or thousands of years old is an extremely precious medicine! Similarly, you must be killed when you are at your strongest, when your life source energy is at its most intense, in order to obtain huge benefits. More importantly, in order not to attract the attention of other spaces, we often only have one chance to attack the target.”

“I understand, thank you,” Fang Senyan said thoughtfully.

Zheng shrugged and said:

“No more questions? Actually, I’m still willing to chat with you for a while.”

“No more,” Fang Senyan said faintly, “So now I can die, do it.”

Zheng sighed and said:

“What a pity, I could actually chat with you for a while longer. To be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve had such a heart-to-heart talk with someone.”

He said so, but his actions were very decisive. With a flick of his tentacles, he forcefully threw Fang Senyan towards the depths of the Devil’s Throat!

Watching Fang Senyan, whose limbs were crippled, draw an arc in the air and then fall into the endless darkness below, Zheng suddenly had an unspeakable, strange feeling. Because when facing this enemy who seemed to be looking in a mirror, he couldn’t help but wonder: what would I do if I were in his situation!?

Then, Zheng’s entire body immediately shook violently! This guy, he still had a trump card! More tentacles suddenly shot out from behind him! They wrapped around Fang Senyan, who was falling dozens of meters away. Only now could it be noticed that these tentacles were simply enhanced and materialized versions of Fang Senyan’s spiritual power tendrils! The evolutionary paths of these two people were actually exactly the same! And Zheng had obviously evolved to be even stronger.

But at this moment, Fang Senyan also opened his eyes and gave him a mysterious smile.

Fang Senyan, whose limbs were crippled, also opened his third eye in the center of his brow. Then, his spiritual power tendrils highly condensed, actually becoming semi-solid from nothingness. They hovered in the air and blocked the tentacles that were wrapping around him!

Although the gap in strength between the two was obvious, and Fang Senyan’s semi-solid tendrils shattered instantly, he was clearly severely injured, yet his life force was burning to the point of being like the midday sun! This was Fang Senyan’s true level. In this instant, he unleashed all his strength like fireworks in full bloom!

“This guy…” Veins were already bulging on Zheng’s forehead: “He actually hid his strength to such an extent! What kind of backhand did you hide? But even if you hid your strength, you definitely can’t be my father’s opponent… because he can no longer be considered a human at all now.”

Although Fang Senyan’s body was already broken and his injuries were extremely severe, the energy he had just burst out with was astonishing! This was his strongest strength, this was the terrifying strength that killed Aragorn and even forcibly broke through the Noah Space! During the fall, he looked at Zheng with a gaze that seemed to be burning, then smiled and fell into the deep darkness.

***

The process of falling seemed to be as long as a lifetime, but also seemed to be only an instant. At first, what Fang Senyan saw of the Devil’s Throat’s outer skin was dead black, stiff.

But as he fell, it gradually began to crack and eventually turned into scarlet flesh that was still squirming. However, this flesh appeared in grape-like, foam-like shapes, growing disorderly, obviously with signs of broken gene chains.

Then, a familiar and unfamiliar sense of weightlessness spread throughout Fang Senyan’s body. It was the feeling of leaving the prime plane and connecting to the Nightmare Space. The reason this feeling was familiar was because Fang Senyan had experienced it countless times, while the reason it was unfamiliar was because there were still some obvious differences from entering the Noah C Space, just like drinking baijiu, the taste of drinking a sip of Red Star Erguotou and a 1959 Che Lun Moutai was completely different.

The violent impact that he had expected didn’t come. Fang Senyan felt as if his body was being supported by something, then his plummeting body slowly descended. Then, he felt as if he was fixed in mid-air, just hanging there, his nose filled with an indescribable stench of decay.

This place was like a rotten and moldy abyss, teeming with only maggots and germs. When Fang Senyan’s pupils adapted to the darkness, he realized that the environment here was all wriggling, and the surroundings were all strange and blackened red meat walls.

But when Fang Senyan’s gaze turned to the deepest part of the darkness, he immediately held his breath! Because there should have been a giant door there, a blood-red giant door connecting to the sky and the earth, growing terrifying fangs, but what was presented before him at this moment was a ruin!!

Yes, a complete ruin! Because that giant door had actually been forcibly blown open from the middle, creating an indescribable hole. The hole looked like it had been made a long time ago, and there were even traces of regrowth and then dissolution on it, like the traces of a candle that had been burning for a long time, but the wounds around the hole gave people a feeling that was about to directly enter the brain, shocking the eyes, seeming to want to reproduce the power of that year.

“Looks very shocking, doesn’t it?” A voice suddenly sounded.

This voice directly sounded in Fang Senyan’s heart. Fang Senyan looked back at this time and realized that there was actually a black shadow sitting below the giant door. This black shadow seemed to have been sitting there for thousands of years, but he was wearing a bronze ghost mask, and even seemed to have become one with this decayed environment and space! That sense of vicissitude and decay was as thick as if an inch of dust had accumulated!
