Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

The Void cracked open.

With a flicker, Wu Xiaode appeared in the dark Void.

The world was in utter desolation.

The earth was littered with silent ruins.

—This is the Pangu World.

"You're back!"

The surrounding winds began to constantly rub against each other, forming a voice.

Wu Xiaode—

Or rather, he, in his restored Blood Youth form, slowly spoke:

"That's right, I'm back. Now, give me the last Pangu Card Set immediately; I have a use for it."

"Hold on," Pangu said, "tell me, have your powers increased in the Holy Realm of Evil Reincarnation."

Wu Xiaode paused.

It seemed—

After every destruction of a civilized world, the Evil Demons could only draw a wisp of blood mist from the real Pangu's Corpse to recreate worlds anew.

So, this Pangu was actually nearing destruction.

Its Evil Transformation was actually meaningless.

Because the Evil Demons wanted to evolve civilizations to find the Gate of the Holy Realm.

Pangu World was merely a wisp of blood mist.

After its Evil Transformation, it deprived all beings and civilizations of the soil for prosperity and progress.

— It no longer had any value!

Understanding the whole matter, Wu Xiaode's tone turned cold as he spoke:

"I can now fight an S-level Evil Demon without necessarily losing, but if I want to further comprehend the true essence of Power and understand the secret of World Source Power, I need that last card set."

"So give it to me."

Pangu probed: "Why do I hear a trace of disdain in your voice? Have you realized something?"

Wu Xiaode said, "I can give you the answer directly—true Evil Demons look down on you and me; we are both expendable."

"Now that I am also an Evil Demon, they will no longer act against me," Pangu said.

"They don't need to act," Wu Xiaode immediately replied, "you surrendered, losing the real chance to fight them. The Evil Demons won't let you acquire stronger Power—look at your current situation, and you'll know I'm not wrong."

A wave of silence.

Wu Xiaode added, "Look at yourself now, you're already ruined."

"But I still exist," Pangu said.

"If all beings perish, the entire universe will no longer remember you, and the Evil Demons will abandon you and me; we are no different from being dead," Wu Xiaode said.

Pangu fell silent again.

Wu Xiaode said, "We will fall into an eternal loneliness, either destroyed or imprisoned in this endless dark Void until eternity."

"This is our fate."

The winds in the Void suddenly turned violent, producing a cacophony of billions of howls:

"Then what do you propose? Giving you a card will allow us to handle the Evil Demons?"

The Power of the wind began to manifest into fine, sharp lines, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, swirling around Wu Xiaode, as if they could shred him to pieces at any moment.

"Give me that card, and I'll seek the opportunity!"

Wu Xiaode shouted loudly.

A line of wind flashed, cutting his hair.

"What difference would it make giving it to you? Can you defeat the Evil Demons? Don't be ridiculous; we have no means against them!" Pangu roared.

Wu Xiaode said expressionlessly: "You've already reached this state—the dull and lifeless eternal years will plague you for your entire life. The only way is to give me that card, as you won't be able to use it anyway!"

"Tell me, what do you plan to do!" Pangu said.

"Find your original Power from the card; that Power might be able to give you life again!" Wu Xiaode said.

"What gives you the right to say that!" Pangu said.

"Because your original duty was to evolve all beings and all things, despite being Evil Transformed, we now need to find a way to make you able to do that again!" Wu Xiaode said.

"I'm Evil Transformed; doing such a thing is impossible!" Pangu roared harshly.

"But what if you could evolve Evil Objects?" Wu Xiaode said.

All the wind froze in mid-air.

The billions of razor-sharp lines of wind quietly dissipated, just like a person who was raising a blade suddenly forgetting the slaughter they were about to perform.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The earth split open with a thunderous roar.

A black scroll floated up, descending in front of Wu Xiaode.

Pangu's voice resounded:

"Sign the Evil bloodline contract, Blood Youth. You must swear not to abandon me, to thrive and suffer alongside me, and only then will I give you that card."

Wu Xiaode paused.

If he used his true identity to sign with Pangu, Pangu would certainly go mad.

After all, in the past, he had tricked it, forcing it to fulfill its destiny, leading to its downfall.

—What to do about this?

He could complete the contract with Blood Youth's blood.

But—

This didn't seem quite fair to Blood Youth.

"I won't sign the contract."

"But I can promise that as soon as I find a way, I will ensure you rise again."

As Wu Xiaode spoke, he raised his hand.

A powerful force gathered in his hand, emitting waves of fluctuations.

"Now, if you don't give me that card, I'll keep fighting until you do."

"If during our battle, you anger me, any relationship between us ends."

—Choose, Pangu."

Everything went silent once again.

Wu Xiaode stood motionless in the air, quietly waiting for Pangu's final decision.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Suddenly, Wu Xiaode saw an elegant man wearing a Dao robe ascending from the ground.

"May I ask if this fairy has come to explore the situation in this world?"

The man clasped his fists respectfully and courteously.

"Who are you?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I come from the Inner World, self-taught, and discovered this otherworldly place, hence I came to investigate." The handsome man replied.

"Oh." Wu Xiaode responded.

The handsome man thought for a moment, smiled, and once again clasped his hands, saying, "Immortal, why not travel with me to explore this world together?"

"Go by yourself, don't drag me into this." Wu Xiaode said coldly.

The handsome man wanted to say more, but Wu Xiaode spat out a word:

"Scram."

The handsome man was somewhat helpless and had to retreat, soon landing on the Pangu Continent and disappearing from sight.

A few moments passed.

A dragon shrouded entirely in flames descended from the sky, speaking human language:

"I am Pangu's arch-enemy, let me assist you this time, and together we shall defeat it!"

Wu Xiaode cursed: "Screw off!"

The dragon, hearing this, began to coil around him.

Wu Xiaode remained motionless, not paying attention to it, until the Red Dragon circled back and forth for seven or eight minutes and, finding it boring, flew away.

A few moments passed.

Six robed sedan carriers flew from the sky, lifting a luxurious red sedan chair.

"Our lord invites you for a meeting, to see if you can be a mediator to help trade a card from Pangu." A sedan carrier said respectfully.

"Dare to meddle in my business? Let your master eat shit." Wu Xiaode sneered.

The carriers looked displeased, carrying the sedan chair away.

"Quit joking, Pangu."

Wu Xiaode looked disdainful and loudly said: "You know who my master was back then, and now you think using his methods against me would work?"

Her voice transmitted far away.

A few moments later.

Pangu's voice sounded again:

"It was my negligence, the Fetus Concealed Confusion technique indeed doesn't work on you, but this is just testing the waters, if you still don't—"

Its voice suddenly stopped.

In the sky.

Wu Xiaode, arms crossed, interrupted: "You've angered me, all ties are severed, now I will return to my master's side and lead him to destroy you completely."

"—he will certainly be very interested in your theft of Evil Spirit magic."

"Wait a moment!" Pangu shouted.

Wu Xiaode no longer responded, his figure flashed, disappearing into the void.

A few moments passed.

The void opened again.

Wu Xiaode walked out, one hand raised high.

"I heard you're learning from me?"

As the words fell.

Unbounded dark evil thoughts gathered in his hand, transforming into a massive iron fist which he swung out fiercely.

Boom!!!

The ground shattered completely under this punch.

The world's dust rose high, sweeping across like smoke clouds.

"Where did you learn this Evil Spirit Power?—no, I sense it, you're just imitating, using Evil Power, which will ultimately lead to Evil Transformation, not reincarnation."

Wu Xiaode raised his fist again.

Even more powerful Evil Spirit Power gathered in his hand, followed by another punch—

Boom!!!

The ground shook continuously.

Pangu's angry voice sounded once more:

"Damn you, I will kill you, even if it costs me everything!"

In an instant.

A bronze spear abruptly appeared, piercing through Wu Xiaode's body directly.

His body instantly disintegrated completely.

...

Elsewhere.

Blood Pool Hell.

Wu Xiaode crouched at the depths of the Blood Pool, watching the Blood Youth.

"Evil Transformation... is quite a troublesome thing, but I can temporarily relieve you from the torment of the Blood Pool, would you come with me?"

"Yes! Yes!" the Blood Youth eagerly nodded.

"Alright, then I will save you."

Finishing his words, Wu Xiaode placed a hand on the Blood Youth's forehead, directly activating the "Shadow Demon King."

Splat.

The Blood Youth transformed into a bizarre scarlet card that fell into his hand.

At the same time—

Wu Xiaode seemed to sense something, exclaiming in surprise:

"Huh? This spear is quite powerful, I didn't expect Pangu to have such a treasure."

Saying this, he gently shook his body.

The Evil Spirit Book immediately manifested a line of tiny bronze characters:

"You once again released a clone with the 'Primordial Sequence· Lying Flat Expert', causing it to descend directly to the Pangu World."

At the same time, another Wu Xiaode emerged from him and instantly disappeared.

Only then did Wu Xiaode slowly stand up, holding the Shadow Follower Card of Evil Transformation, softly saying:

"I've been out for quite a while."

He checked his watch.

The watch's hand pointed to "Safe."

—This meant Shen Xiyao was not in any trouble, she was safe.

Only then did Wu Xiaode feel relieved, preparing to return to the Inner World.

As for Pangu—

It truly was an uncooperative guy.

Many things needed to be hastened, who had the time to play games with it?

—Just let it continue to battle his clone.

Until it's destroyed, or it surrenders that card.
