Chapter 519: Chapter 407: Completed!

Countless images flashed through his mind.

Those were the battles experienced in the lifetime of a young sword-fighter.

Wu Xiaode stood in the corridor and waited for a moment.

All memories had been received.

Icicle-like characters emerged from the Void:

"Now you are Li Chengfeng, the All Worlds Sword Saint."

"When you use his body, you naturally assume his identity, but his strength has disappeared with the departure of his soul; you can only control this body with your own strength."

—What of it?

Wu Xiaode’s heart surged with boldness, imitating Li Chengfeng’s demeanor by slinging the Butterfly Soul sword over his shoulder, humming a tune as he walked down the stairs.

The noisy singing and dancing downstairs had disappeared.

Dozens of powerful figures stood in three rows, quietly waiting for something.

When Wu Xiaode appeared on the staircase, all the powerful figures simultaneously bowed in salute:

"Council Hierarch, we greet you."

Wu Xiaode said indifferently, "You are too noisy. If you disturb my drink without reason, I will kill."

The powerful ones hurriedly explained, "All the great demon lords have gone to the Death World to hunt souls, and said to have you quickly organize and send people to seek the ruler of the Death Realm."

"Then let’s start. Everyone go and search, and don’t delay the business of the great demon lords," Wu Xiaode waved his hand and said.

"As your command dictates!"

Upon receiving his order, they all dispersed and vanished from the tavern.

The tavern became deserted.

Wu Xiaode yawned and, rubbing his stomach, said, "I’m just hungry."

He saw a hot plate of fried fish that had just been served at a table in the hall below and lightly jumped down to sit at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and began eating the fish.

After eating for a while, recalling Li Chengfeng’s preferences, he put down the chopsticks and said:

"Bring the wine."

Two maids rushed forward with wine bottles and cups, pouring wine for him.

"Continue the music, continue the dance."

He ordered again.

The tavern immediately filled with the sounds of ancient zithers and pipas.

The maids began to sing in formation again.

Several beautiful women with long sleeves danced in front of him.

A woman stepped lightly forward, placed an orchid in his hair, and retreated shyly.

Wu Xiaode remained seated, gently picking up the wine cup and sipping slowly.

Suddenly.

A shadow fell from the sky and in the center of the tavern transformed into roaring flames.

Bam!

The entire tavern caught fire.

The music abruptly stopped.

Inside the tavern, those women did not utter a scream before turning all to ashes.

The entire tavern was consumed by fire.

Only Wu Xiaode remained, sitting on the barren ground, the chopsticks in his hand also starting to burn.

Destruction demon!

According to the memories of Li Chengfeng, he knew he was face to face with an immensely powerful destruction demon.

"Simply command me, and I will dutifully execute it; why must your highness personally make this journey?"

Wu Xiaode stood up and asked with a smile.

A sinister silhouette emerged from within the seven or eight-zhang-high flames.

It looked down at Wu Xiaode and boomed out,

"Li Chengfeng, I need you to make a trip to the Death World and find the Death God."

"That’s simple, I’ll leave immediately— Do you want him dead or alive?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The silhouette in the flames shouted,

"Dead is fine, but alive is better! We need to enter the Death World and stop all souls from becoming Heroic Spirits; we must gain that authority from it—hurry up!"

"Alright, please await my good news. What’s in it for me though?" Wu Xiaode asked.

This was a critical moment.

The destruction demon urgently needed help to stop all human powerhouses’ souls from becoming Heroic Spirits.

Even though it was inwardly displeased, it had to wait until the task was complete to discuss further!

The silhouette within the flames said:

"The benefit... hmph, if you succeed in this matter, I’ll personally acknowledge your Destruction Council and you will officially become my slaves. Other destruction demons won’t be able to touch you!"

"Thank you, my lord, I will certainly resolve this matter for you."

Wu Xiaode was overjoyed and bowed in gratitude, imitating Li Chengfeng’s courtesy.

The silhouette in the flames seemed satisfied with his attitude and said,

"Come find me once the task is complete. I want the other destruction demons to see that I need to personally handle such matters!"

All the flames shot up into the sky, pierced through the clouds, and disappeared instantly.

On the ground.

Only Wu Xiaode remained.

In the dark night, even the moon had long vanished from sight.

Gentle breezes brushed past.

Countless ashes scattered with the wind.

Recollecting the previous atmosphere of warm comforts, bright lights, heavy wine, and bustling crowds, Wu Xiaode could not help but sing softly:

"Silver candles in autumn light the cold screen,

"The sky blue as water, the night clouds light,

"Goose sounds fading beyond the Xiang River,

"With the moon hanging alone in the twelve-floor tower."

His voice had barely faded when he suddenly slashed himself with a knife.

Heavenly Ghost!

In an instant, he left the human world and entered another realm.

...

A long bridge.

Wu Xiaode stood on the bridge and gazed into the distance, only to see the turbid water rushing beneath the bridge, where bodies occasionally bobbed up and sank, drifting toward the bottomless abyss far away.

This place was...

The Netherworld during the era of Destruction.

Then...

Where was the Death God?

A female voice suddenly emerged:

"You have finally arrived."

Wu Xiaode looked toward the opposite side of the bridge and saw a woman with fiery red hair standing there, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"May I ask who you are?" Wu Xiaode greeted with a fist salute.

"Aren’t you looking for me?" the woman asked.

"So it turns out you are the Death God," Wu Xiaode said.

"Now I will die at your hands, so that the power of the Destruction Council can be passed down to future generations under the pact with the marauding demons."

The woman said.

"You are a Death God, any book of the Dark Seal you casually issue is incredibly powerful, do you also have to die?" Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but ask.

The woman gave a mischievous smile and whispered:

"Let me tell you a secret — if I die, the laws of the entire Netherworld will be thrown into chaos, with no one to dominate. Souls will more easily travel to the Spirit Realm and become Heroic Spirits — the marauding demons will be thrown into disarray, busying themselves with seizing power over the Netherworld, but they won’t know about this."

Wu Xiaode said, "But if you die —"

The Female Death God interrupted him, "It’s okay, I will go to an Inner World you cannot know. Actually, I originally came from there, not here."

Wu Xiaode was stunned and could only sigh:

"Alas, if you all die, what about me?"

"You?" The woman laughed, "You are about to appease the marauding demons with my life, then you’ll receive a promise that you won’t be killed."

Wu Xiaode shook his head and said:

"It feels quite suffocating. I’m not willing to serve those creatures. Don’t you have another plan?"

"There is one, but are you afraid of dying?" the Female Death God asked.

"It doesn’t matter. You all aren’t afraid of dying, you are all heroes. As for me, stabbing myself every day, I can also keep up with your pace," Wu Xiaode said.

The Female Death God nodded, stepped forward, and gently placed her hand on his forehead.

She whispered in his ear:

"You found me, killed me, and also got seriously injured yourself, necessitating a temporary rest."

"The marauding demons will not blame you, they will even reward you generously."

"In doing so, you indeed fulfill the task assigned by the marauding demons, and I will let my relic—"

The Female Death God waved her hand casually.

A black-covered book appeared in mid-air.

"It will be disguised as the Book of Destruction, secretly passing on my power from now until the future, until it brings you back."

"This is another plan."

"— In the future, you will awaken its true power, grow stronger step by step through it, and then return to this era to seek the one true Destiny Fruit."

"From there, it’s up to you."

After speaking, the Female Death God’s figure gradually faded and disappeared before Wu Xiaode’s eyes.

A row of ice crystal characters appeared:

"You have witnessed the historical moment of the Death God’s destruction."

"Your current time has run out."

"You will immediately return to your dream and wake up from it."

"Five,"

"Four,"

"Three,"

"Two,"

"One."

"Return!"

Wu Xiaode abruptly opened his eyes.

He found himself still lying in the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle.

Ulysses was driving the car.

Noticing that Wu Xiaode had awakened, he spoke:

"It’s about ten more minutes to the city center; you can still sleep for a bit."

Wu Xiaode didn’t say anything.

He just quietly lay there, carefully reflecting on everything that had just happened.

After a while.

"The Book of Destruction Laws?"

He softly called out.

The Book of the Dead suddenly opened, displaying a line of ice crystal characters before him:

"The Book of Destruction Laws is part of the Book of Death God."

"The moment you fulfilled your task in the dream, it merged with me."

"The book has now acquired the following new abilities:"

"1. Return to Dreams;"

"Every night, you can quietly return to that era in your dreams and continue to act as Li Chengfeng, looking for the whereabouts of the Destiny Fruit;"

"2. Reacquire the Power of Authority;"

"This book will be able to sense the whereabouts of other Dark Seal books’ (Book of Death God) pages, and as you acquire them, you will gradually gain the power and authority of the Death God;"

"3. Death Experience;"

"You will experience the process of the demons destroying all the powerful beings during your dreams; it is a painful process, but it is a predicament you must face, and from this, you will understand how powerful the demons are and then think about how to weave ’emergence’."

"— from all the deaths collected by the Death God."

"Furthermore, as you have acquired all thirteen pages of the Dark Seal in the Book of Destruction Laws, you now hold the authority of the Destruction Council."

"With these thirteen pages, your strength has also been enhanced."

"You have gained a large amount of Eternal Soul Power."

"Your current soul power value is:"

"420/420 (Eternal Soul Power)."

"Now you can start your exclusive professional initiation task."
