The Supreme Lord Donghuang

"This time, when the Qi Dynasty attacked the Lightning Sword Sect, did anyone manage to escape?" Zhou Donghuang glanced at the middle-aged man and asked coolly.

The middle-aged man first froze at the question before nodding. "Three people managed to escape. One was the Lightning Sword Sect's Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, and the other two were probably disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect. It was He Jin who fought his way to freedom, and he led them out.

"However, even though He Jin managed to escape this time, he will not be able to live for very long."

As he spoke to this point, the middle-aged man shook his head.

"Why?"

Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed coldly, and his previously impassive and indifferent tone was now replaced by one with doubt. He urgently wanted to understand what the middle-aged man was trying to say.

The middle-aged man could also sense the change in Zhou Donghuang's tone, and he became more cautious and collected. "The Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, was poisoned by one of the Qi dynasty's poison experts... The poison method of the Qi Dynasty was created by an adept who specialized in the field, and he was a late Divine Transformation adept... One dose of poison would cause the death of any individual at the late Divine Transformation stage or below!"

Now, Zhou Donghuang had mostly established that his third senior sister, He Mengxi, was still alive. This meant that Da Zhuang was probably still alive as well, and they had been rescued by He Jin.

"As I suspected... The disaster that the Lightning Sword Sect met with was brought forward due to my presence."

In his past life, Zhou Donghuang had heard his third senior sister, He Mengxi, mention that the destruction of the Lightning Sword Sect had to do with the Spring Valley Head's son, Liu Lang, but he had not asked her for the details.

As for this life, the destruction of the Lightning Sword Sect did still relate to the same incident with Liu Lang.

However, because of him, the event had been brought to fruition sooner.

Whoosh!

Zhou Donghuang suddenly turned and faced the ground where he had buried members of the Lightning Sword Sect, and he spoke up with a steady tone and gaze, "You all died because of me...

"Today, I, Zhou Donghuang, promise you all that in the near future, I will right this wrong on your behalf!!"

This speech by Zhou Donghuang was overheard by the middle-aged man, and his face changed greatly. "Zhou... Zhou Donghuang? You... you are Zhou Donghuang!?'

"How can this be!?"

"This is impossible!"

Now, Zhou Donghuang had personally revealed his identity with no qualms and had certainly given the middle-aged man a good scare.

Previously, he found it hard to believe that a person who was only at the late Dharma stage a year ago could actually manage to enter the Primordial Soul stage within just one year. Furthermore, this same person had actually managed to reach the ultimate Primordial Soul stage and have such power!

Zhou Donghuang's Primordial Soul Power was extremely strong, and it was similar to that of an early Divine Transformation adept's. He had personally never met such a powerful and scary ultimate Primordial Soul adept before.

Even for those at the peak of the universe's top galaxies, the big tribes of the most talented sects, would not be able to become so strong while they were ultimate Primordial Soul adepts!

As the middle-aged man looked at Zhou Donghuang, his gaze became unfocused. "He... He is actually Zhou Donghuang...

"Run! Now!"

Just as the thought occurred to him, without any hesitation, the middle-aged man turned to run at the speed of light, as if he were an arrow flying through the air.

The question was, would he succeed in escaping?

Roar!

The same roar that shook the skies sounded out as a giant white appeared like a mountain towering in the sky; it instantly caught up with the middle-aged man.

Of course, this was Zhou Donghuang's White Tiger Primordial Soul Power.

Crash!

With the attack of the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power, the middle-aged man's life ended right then and there.

Now, Zhou Donghuang was responsible for the death of three ultimate Primordial Soul adepts of the Qi Dynasty.

"The Qi Dynasty..."

Zhou Donghuang narrowed his eyes towards the skies, focused on a particular direction. "This is only the beginning.

"The debt owed to the Lightning Sword Sect will be repaid by me personally, no matter how long it takes!"

Zhou Donghuang's face returned to its usual peaceful expression. However, his eyes now blazed brightly with determination.

After this, Zhou Donghuang did not linger where the Lightning Sword Sect used to be. Instead, he left the Tielao planet and went in the direction of the Guiyao planet. He wanted to first send the black puppy to the Guiyao planet before setting off to find his third senior sister, He Mengxi and the others.

He felt that unsurprisingly, his third senior sister, He Mengxi, must have brought Da Zhuang and Valley Head He Jin to his hometown, which was far off in the Kaiyuan galaxy on the planet of Ziyun.

This was because He Mengxi had personally visited his hometown in the past and so knew that it was his home.

Of course, this was a guess on Zhou Donghuang's part, but he assumed it to be the most probable.

"Boss, I'll be waiting for you to return!"

In the cave house hidden behind the waterfall on the Guiyao planet, where Mo Ningsang had first rested, Zhou Donghuang used his accessed memories from Mo Ningsang to repair the spells there. He then left the black puppy behind and departed.

Before he left, the black puppy was extremely reluctant to part ways.

Although it had only known Zhou Donghuang for a short time, Zhou Donghuang's care and assistance had caused the black puppy to view Zhou Donghuang as a loved one.

One had to remember that before it met Zhou Donghuang, it was an insignificant demon within the forest.

It was Zhou Donghuang's appearance that had changed its life.

"The next time I return, the black puppy will already have inherited its memories... Whether it chooses to stay by my side or not, I, Zhou Donghuang, already had a positive and fortunate encounter with this divine beast cub..."

The black puppy was a divine beast cub, after all. After it managed to inherit its memories, Zhou Donghuang was unsure as to whether it would have a change of heart or not.

However, no matter the outcome, he would respect the black puppy's wishes.

From a personal perspective, Zhou Donghuang of course hoped that this divine beast would stay by his side as it would be a tremendous boost of strength.

Divine beasts were the elite beasts of the universe, and they were extremely rare as well. Such an existence meant that their talents, learning ability and growth all improved at tremendous speeds!

Furthermore, as long as divine beasts did not give up halfway and continued to develop themselves, they would definitely become divine beings!

Previously, in order to get the black puppy and boost his powers, Zhou Donghuang had visited the forest where it lived.

However, when he personally met this black puppy, and after interacting with it for a short time, he suddenly felt that he was rather selfish in the past. Some things could not be forced. If not, they would possibly backfire.

Divine beasts were not easily controlled by human will, after all.

"How time flies! It's been close to five years since I left the Ziyun planet."

After leaving the Guiyao planet, Zhou Donghuang did not return to the Tielao planet. The Tielao planet was close to the Guiyao planet, but other than that, there were other nearby planets, and so he randomly picked one to go to.

Using the galaxy teleporter, he was sent to another galaxy near to the Kaiyuan galaxy, where the Ziyun planet was.

This was also the first galaxy that he had arrived at after leaving the Ziyun planet four years ago, and this was the same galaxy teleporter that he had used at that time.

The Akiyama galaxy.

The Heyu planet.

The North Desert.

He now felt a sense of nostalgia as he returned to where he had been four years ago.

Previously, when he had first arrived here, he was pursued by three Golden Essence adepts as they wanted to steal his wealth.

However, they had underestimated him, and he ended up killing them instead.

"The Ziyun planet!"

As he stepped out from the galaxy teleporter of the North Desert, Zhou Donghuang felt as if he were traveling through time once again. As he headed for the Ziyun planet, which was situated in the Kaiyuan galaxy, he had also traveled along this path in the past, and it was now familiar to him.

Of course, he was now much more talented. Within a mere few days, he managed to travel the entire distance and quickly appeared before the familiar planet.

"I've arrived."

Seeing the planet before him, Zhou Donghuang's originally impassive gaze became warm in an instant.

No matter if it was Earth or the Ziyun planet—he viewed them all as his home.

Now that he was finally back, he felt a sort of calm and gratefulness surge through him.

Whoosh!

…

Four years was enough for many things to happen.

If one wanted to discuss the Ziyun planet, nothing much had changed over the last four years other than the new Transcendental Force that popped up on the planet. This was the "Donghuang Sect" that Zhou Donghuang, whom everyone on the planet viewed as a top adept, had created.

At the start, the Donghuang Sect was rather empty. Although it was esteemed, it still had few disciples in the sect.

However, with the influence of the Donghuang Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang, who was mysterious and seldom seen, countless people had arrived from all over just to join the sect on the Ziyun planet.

Because of that, after four years, the Donghuang Sect had already become an elite sect within the Ziyun planet and was extremely well known.

Even without the mysterious Sect Leader Zhou Donghuang, the Donghuang Sect now was skilled enough to battle with other top elite sects, and it could possibly even exceed them in terms of development.

The Donghuang Peak was where the Donghuang Sect was located.

Right now, in a spacious courtyard at the center of the Donghuang Peak, three beautiful ladies were sitting before a table with tension lingering in the air.

"Sister Mengxi, is there really no other way? I can't believe it…" Yang Zixi stared at He Mengxi across the table and spoke up with a worried look.

"Uncle He Jin is a Divine Transformation adept and should be much more powerful than those at the Primordial Soul stage, so how can he die because of mere poison?"

In Yang Zixi's eyes, a Primal Core adept was already considered impressive. In this case, Primordial Soul adepts definitely trumped any Primal Core adepts, much less Divine Transformation adepts who were much stronger. Because of this, she greatly admired Divine Transformation adepts for their sheer power.

How could someone at the Divine Transformation stage die because of mere poison?

"Zixi, this is not a normal type of poison," He Mengxi replied with a bitter expression.

"This is poison from the Qi Dynasty, and it was created by a Divine Transformation adept who specializes in it. Rumor has it that anybody at the late Divine Transformation stage or below is sure to die if they are infected with this poison!

"The fact that my father could hold out until now is only because little brother managed to give him an extremely strong training method. If not, he would have died a long time ago," He Mengxi replied.

Just as she had spoken, an urgent voice rang out from outside, and this caused He Mengxi's face to drastically change.

"Senior Sister! Senior Sister! Valley Head can't hold on for much longer! He wants to see you for the last time!"
