What Really Happened 500 Years Ago

According to the state system of the human race, the Evil Blood Emperor could be categorized as a Martial Sovereign. However, that did not really mean that he was as strong as a human Martial Sovereign. Humans were stronger than he was in many aspects. However, compared to the Martial Arts Saint Gu Qianren, the Evil Blood Emperor was certainly many times stronger.
In terms of fighting power, Jiang Chen was not a match for him at all. He had the confidence to fight with the Evil Blood Emperor because he was loaded with the Buddhaâs power and holding a golden spear that was a fake immortal weapon.
âSword Lotus Eliminates the World!â Surprisingly, the Evil Blood Emperor called out a sword attack in a low voice. Then the blade that had fallen into the deep crater flew into his hand. It was that extraordinary blade of Xiao Yuanâs. The Evil Blood Emperor had not only sucked all of Xiao Yuanâs essence blood, but also gotten all of the latterâs skills. A dazzling sword radiance was being given off from his body. The sword attack that Xiao Yuan had failed to exert due to the Blood Elixir was now being used by the Evil Blood Emperor.
Jiang Chen did not have the time to curse Xiao Yuan. He activated all of the holy thunders and brandished the golden spear wildly. The blade was more powerful in the Evil Blood Emperorâs hand than it would have been in Xiao Yuanâs hand. It was the first time that Jiang Chen had ever perceived an overwhelming energy in someone elseâs sword. It was fierce, fast, and sharp all at the same time.
The violent metal thunder turned into broken bits under the Emperorâs blade. The golden spear shook violently in Jiang Chenâs hand. Even though he was being aided by the Buddhaâs power, he almost could not resist the attack. When he had finally emerged from the attack, the Evil Blood Emperor had disappeared.
Jiang Chen suddenly realized that there was something wrong around him. A chilly wind blew up. It was freezing.
âSword Realm!â
Now he knew what was going on. He knew the Evil Blood Emperor was using Xiao Yuanâs sword doctrine power. Looking up, he saw the striking blade falling.
Jiang Chen clearly knew he and his enemy were not at the same level.
âBlack dragon, demolish him!â He had to call out deva and naga. The black dragon could not wait anymore. It flew up aggressively, fearless of the blade. When the blade made contact with the black dragonâs head, it started to crack inch by inch. As the dragon wobbled its body, the Sword Realm completely collapsed.
Jiang Chen was not doing nothing. He had sat down, with his legs crossed. Floating in the air, he started to recite a scripture.
âShut up!â This was what had annoyed the Evil Blood Emperor the most. Regardless of the black dragonâs attack, he flew through the air toward Jiang Chen.
The black dragonâs wonderful body had a flaw as well. It was too big to turn around easily. In the end, it could do nothing but watch the Evil Blood Emperor launch an attack against Jiang Chen. However, the black dragon did not seem to be too anxious.
Azure Demon showed up in front of Jiang Chen. Without speaking anything, he threw his palm over.
âHow...?â The Evil Blood Emperor was startled. A black dragon was surprising enough. He did not expect the appearance of a Protector of the Law.
The fact that deva was staying closer to Jiang Chen than naga meant Azure Demon was stronger.
The Evil Blood Emperor wanted to fight back, but was being affected by Jiang Chenâs scripture, so he was suffering a lot. The black dragon took the chance to jump onto him. A scratch of the dragon claw almost dissembled his body. Azure Demonâs mudra followed. The attack made the Evil Blood Emperor spit up blood. It was the Evil Blood Emperorâs essence blood. It meant his strength had been weakened.
The Evil Blood Emperor realized the situation was unfavorable for him. He turned around, intending to escape. More precisely, he intended to find some fresh blood to recover his strength. However, Jiang Chen certainly would not allow his wish to be satisfied.
âGreat Vacuum Mudra!â While Jiang Chen was throwing his palm over, he did not stop reciting the scripture text. The great palm made of gold slapped the Evil Blood Emperor onto the ground, but the Evil Blood Emperor was not killed. Jiang Chen did not take the mudra back. His right hand kept the gesture of the palm attack, while his left hand was raised chest high. He was trying to deliver the Evil Blood Emperor.
âHa, ha, ha, ha, what you are expecting is unrealistic! The Blood Race doesnât buy the preaching of the Buddhists!â The Evil Blood Emperorâs voice came from under the golden palm.
âI was wondering how you would try to kill me, but this turns out to be what you want. You are such a fool. Thatâs ridiculous.â
Jiang Chen ignored him. He believed his way worked for all intelligent creatures. And the Evil Blood Emperor sounded pretty annoyed. He was obviously afraid.
âYou have traveled in time for five centuries. Do you want to know how your family ended up?â The Evil Blood Emperor was trying to distract him. Since he had sucked Jiang Chenâs blood, even though it was poisonous, he had gotten his memories. Therefore, he knew what Jiang Chen cared about most.
âYour father, what was he called? Ruler of Hell, or King of Hell? He participated in this world war, and both he and that Invincible Divine Fist something were killed by me. I can still recall his screams and his face before death.â
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows a few times. He slowed the recital down a little bit.
âOh, yeah. Before the big war, we Blood Race visited your house first. It was called Over Cloud Palace, wasnât it? Our warriors ate an apprentice elder brother of yours. We created a ranking afterward. Your motherâs blood tasted the best. That was really surprising...â
âShut up!!!â Jiang Chenâs chest heaved up and down violently. He pressed his right hand harder against the Evil Blood Emperor. The Evil Blood Emperor, pinned down on the ground, was emitting an azure smoke. His body was being purified.
âHa, ha, ha, ha!â The Evil Blood Emperor was fearless. He burst out laughing instead, because Jiang Chen had broken a Buddhist precept and would not be able to deliver him anymore.
Jiang Chenâs face became hideous. Seized by anger, he kept pressing his hand harder and harder against the Evil Blood Emperor. It seemed he would not stop until the latter died. All of a sudden, the Buddhist Relic flashed. A fresh spring flew into Jiang Chenâs heart, calming his anger. At the same time, he recalled something that he had long forgotten. It was the memory that the Blood Race would learn after sucking his blood. Jiang Chen finally realized why the Blood Race had been so angry with him.
His face looked solemn again. He took the mudra back. The Evil Blood Emperor was free again. He was struck dumb, somewhat surprised.
The black dragon and the Azure Demon were going to kill him, but Jiang Chen stopped them. Without restraining the Evil Blood Emperor in any form, Jiang Chen started to recite the scripture again.
âHuh.â The Evil Blood Emperor was not going to flee this time. Sitting right there, he wanted to see how Jiang Chen would deliver him. But soon, he found things were not right. Compared to before, Jiang Chenâs scripture was more profound. The Buddhaâs spirit it contained was as deep as the oceans. He was being devoured. Panicked, the Evil Blood Emperor tried to play the same trick. He kept talking about Jiang Chen. However, it did not work this time. Jiang Chen totally ignored him, no matter what he said.
The Buddhist Relic could be used as a media, and Jiang Chen was enlightened by the Buddhaâs spirit contained in it to a great extent. The biggest gain he had gotten was the buried memory.
âIâm your Blood Raceâs disaster!â When it was about time, Jiang Chen said in a deep and powerful voice, with his eyes open.
The Evil Blood Emperor broke down. He screamed. Then the Buddhaâs power entered his body. His hideous face was changing.
Jiang Chen got to his feet slowly. He showed a sarcastic face. He finally realized why all of the Bloods who had gotten his memory hated him to the core. He also knew the reason Lin Shuangyue had become estranged from him after learning about his existence. And why Long Xing from the Sovereign Spirit Palace wanted to attack him!
Because Long Xing was him! It was he who had started the Sovereign Spirit Palace. It was he who made the plan across five centuries that went against nature and who realized the reincarnation of the Sovereign Spirit! All of this started 500 years ago.
Since he was born with an exhausted pulse, Jiang Chen had two subordinates whom he would possess sometimes to study elixirs, legendary weapons, formations, and so on. His two subordinates were very loyal to him. In the Sacred Zone, they would almost act on Jiang Chenâs behalf.
However, what people did not know was that Jiang Chen had another subordinate in the dark! That subordinate was Long Xing!
