Return Your Freedom

"They always give me a sickening feeling."

Hongtian said seriously, "Especially that guy with three eyes who squirts out white liquid, he's incredibly perverted!"

An Yi coughed lightly, "I don't know what those eyes are for either, I was just blindly guessing."

Hongtian, "..."

"The Ancient Continent, I want to go too!"

Hongtian's eyes became rarely solemn.

An Yi chuckled, "What are you going to do there?"

"This world is too idle. Although the food is not bad, the cigarettes are decent, and the little dog is very honest and cooperative, I just can't seem to muster up any energy."

Hongtian said leisurely.

As one of the Three Ominous Beasts, he was different from Nie Xuan and Long Tianyuan.

Having been sealed for five thousand years, he was still in his prime! It was the time when his energy was most vigorous.

Now that he knew there was a place even grander than this world, how could he possibly hold back!

This retirement-like life could not satisfy him at all!

"That works too!"

An Yi nodded and said.

He had once heard Long Tianyuan mention it.

Although they were all listed as the Three Ominous Beasts, this dog's potential was undoubtedly the highest among them!

Just reaching adulthood, he dominated a world filled with countless demonic beasts. If he hadn't been sealed, after five thousand years of development, it was hard to imagine what terrifying level of strength this guy would have reached.

Suddenly, An Yi was slightly startled.

So badass! Could the last Child of Destiny be this dog...

Then, An Yi lowered his head in shame at his absurd thought.

Impossible. If this guy turned into a human, he would probably be a sleazy, street-smart middle-aged man.

There's no such protagonist!

"Kid, where is the spiritual core of that guy Nie Xuan?"

Hongtian asked, looking at An Yi eagerly.

That was the spiritual core of a level-seven demonic beast!

If he swallowed it and completely digested it, his strength would recover by at least half!

An Yi shrugged, "The battle was too intense. The dragon crashed down, turning the whole ground into a massive crater. Nothing of his remains is left."

"What are you thinking! How could a level-seven spiritual core be destroyed just like that?"

Hongtian smoked a cigarette and scoffed, then sighed, "It's a pity, I can't even display a fraction of my strength!"

"By the way, the legend says you swallowed the moon. Is that true or false?"

An Yi asked curiously.

Countless ancient texts seemed to record the Heavenly Dog swallowing the moon.

"That was an illusion!"

Hongtian said proudly, "The lunar yin is when my strength is at its peak. Back then, I was bored, so I put on a show for them. I didn't expect to actually bluff all the experts of the demon and human races."

"So that's the answer. How freaking boring!"

Hearing this, An Yi was greatly disappointed.

However, he also showed a bit of curiosity.

It seemed that this guy's true strength lay in illusions.

"What do you mean boring? Do you know how hard it was for me, acting completely alone, to be titled one of the Three Ominous Beasts!" Hongtian said, taking a drag of his cigarette.

"When we first met, your terrifying appearance wasn't an illusion too, was it?"

An Yi thought of something and asked thoughtfully.

Back in the secret realm, when he first saw Hongtian, he had a terrifying appearance.

He had really thought this guy was a prehistoric demonic beast from ten thousand years ago.

"That was my true body. Why would I use an illusion for that?"

Hongtian said casually, "Remember, don't forget to take me. This dog chain is really freaking uncomfortable."

Crack!

An Yi casually squeezed!

The chain around Hongtian's neck shattered in response.

"No, kid, you..."

Hongtian looked at the destroyed soul chain, his single eye revealing a look of shock.

"You are free," An Yi said with a smile.

"Heh, you guy."

Hongtian snapped back to reality, lit a Chunghwa cigarette with a lighter, and his mood returned to its usual calmness.

...

The Qin Family Villa.

"I'm so mad! An Yi is simply a bastard!"

Qin Yao was furious in her room.

She was the first to know An Yi.

Then, she watched helplessly as the girls around him grew more and more numerous.

People like Shen Muxuan, Lan Ruoxi, and Shangguan Qianqian were fine since she at least knew their backgrounds.

But that silver-haired little girl who popped out of nowhere, she hadn't even heard of her.

Qin Yao tried hard to keep herself calm.

She was now the Lord of the Underworld; she shouldn't panic when things happen!

Standing out among a group of girls whose beauty was not inferior to hers was no small feat.

Calming down, Qin Yao pondered secretly. She had to establish her core competitiveness!

For example... cooking skills!

Hearing Qin Yao's noisy and angry voice upstairs, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth curled up slightly, feeling delighted.

Even his cultivation speed had increased by a level!

"Not bad! Steady your mind and body! You must stabilize your spiritual energy."

Long Tianyuan's voice continuously rang out.

Wisps of black light lingered around his body.

Buzz!

Like a river flowing into the sea, the surging spiritual energy was endless.

Lin Chen's body became much more relaxed!

He broke through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Dipper Realm!

"Truly impressive, a heaven-sent genius!"

Long Tianyuan said with a sigh.

He had sighed about this more than once, but Lin Chen's strength still exceeded his expectations once again.

"Is this... Devouring Wind?"

Lin Chen raised his hand, and a wisp of black wind spiritual energy lingered in his palm.

If he remembered correctly, this should be Long Tianyuan's exclusive wind spiritual energy!

"Consider this a gift to you. From now on, I might not be able to accompany you."

Long Tianyuan said with a chuckle.

He knew that Lin Chen's talent would shine even in the Ancient Continent.

And he could no longer keep up with Lin Chen's pace.

Having traveled around, he had had enough fun and it was time to return to the Immortal Sect Small World to recuperate.

Lin Chen's expression was solemn as he muttered, "Thank you, Elder Long!"

...

Yunzhou, Wu Family Martial Arts Hall.

A group of martial artists in tight-fitting training clothes looked respectfully at Fang Jueming standing in the center, their eyes full of admiration and envy.

Now, at only seventeen years old, Fang Jueming had defeated the eighth-ranked Carefree Swordsman on the Heaven Ranking.

He had replaced the Carefree Swordsman to become the eighth-ranked existence on the Great Xia Heaven Ranking.

This directly broke Great Xia's record of a thousand years!

"Thank you to the Hall Master for your cultivation over the past two years!"

Fang Jueming knelt on the ground and kowtowed as he spoke.

"Child, get up."

The Cold-Faced Axe Fist's eyes grew red as he watched.

Although the two did not have the title of master and disciple, they had the reality of it.

Over the years, he had long treated Fang Jueming as his own child.

"Xiao Ming, can you not go?"

The breathtakingly beautiful young girl looked at Fang Jueming with teary eyes.

Now, two years had passed, and Wu Shuangshuang had also grown from a little girl into a graceful young lady.

"Shuangshuang..."

Wu Tong just wanted to say a few words to his daughter, but it felt like a lump in his throat, and he couldn't speak.

He was also very reluctant to see him go.

Fang Jueming looked at Wu Shuangshuang, reached out his bandaged hand, and wiped her tears, "Don't cry, it won't look pretty if you keep crying. I'm leaving, take good care of yourself."

Watching Fang Jueming's back, Wu Shuangshuang couldn't help but shout, "Fang Jueming! You said you would marry me, is that true?"

Fang Jueming stopped in his tracks and said solemnly, "It's true!"
