BOOM!

Another thunderous explosion!

The man in the blood-red robe staggered, spraying a mouthful of blood!

"You are not Chen Zheng! Who are you!" the blood-robed man growled.

"Guess," Chen Zheng replied nonchalantly.

WHOOSH!

The man in the blood-red robe transformed into a streak of black light, shooting straight toward Chen Zheng!

"Don't you dare dodge, kid! Even if you do, I'll chase you down and devour you!"

Just then, the enormous beast spoke again, and a bizarrely powerful, uncanny suction enveloped Chen Zheng!

"Today, this young master will teach you a thing or two about the rules," Chen Zheng chuckled. He raised his left hand and flicked a finger seal at the beast.

ROAR!

In the next second, the beast let out an agonizing scream!

"Ah! Spare me! Spare me! I beg you, spare me! Master, save me, save me, I'm your most loyal servant!" the beast struggled and cried out.

"What? It's the Ancestor's servant? No! That's impossible!"

"Our Ancestor is so proud, how could he possibly allow a beast to be his servant!"

"Hmph! It must be a trick by this little beast!"

All the Chen clansmen were dumbfounded.

"You little bastard! This is impossible!" The blood-robed man also froze for several moments. Once he regained his senses, he roared angrily at Chen Zheng.

"You're not his servant?" Chen Zheng asked lightly.

"I am his most loyal servant! I can swear a Dao Oath!" the blood-robed man nodded hastily. His teeth clenched as he glared at Chen Zheng, and he violently raised his right hand, slapping his own forehead. A bloody light instantly flared as he shouted through gritted teeth, "I swear by my Dao heart! I am Chen Zheng's servant! If I violate this oath, may I be condemned by the heavens!"

BOOM!

BOOM!

In the sky above, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

"Hmph!" The blood-robed man wiped the blood from his forehead, a ferocious smile spreading across his face. "Chen Zheng, now do you see the gap between you and me? You're nothing but an ant in my eyes! You, this little grasshopper, have no right to compete with me for heavenly fortune! The so-called 'Chosen One of Heaven' is nothing but a dog! Haha! Hahahaha!"

BOOM!

Thunder roared in the vast heavens.

"Hmph!" The blood-robed man wiped his forehead again, and another bloody light emerged. This light exploded instantaneously, forming several ancient characters that read: "I am the servant of Chen Zheng. Chen Zheng is the true Chosen One of Heaven, and *I* am that one and only Chosen One!" He then cackled, "Haha! You little thing, go to hell!"

SWOOSH!

The bloody light soared into the sky.

Seeing this, the Chen clansmen's faces lit up with joy!

"Our Chen Clan! The Chen Clan!"

"There's hope for us at last!"

"The Ancestor has been resurrected; our Chen Clan is finally saved!"

However, in that very instant, the bloody light suddenly dimmed, then vanished with a POP!

"Huh?" The blood-robed man was taken aback. He turned his head abruptly, staring at Chen Zheng in confusion.

SWISH!

Chen Zheng nonchalantly waved his sleeve.

The blood-robed man's physical body collapsed.

"Ancestor!" the Chen clansmen screamed.

"You dare destroy my physical body! Do you know who I am? I am the First Disciple under the Nine Serenities Demon Emperor! You dare destroy my physical form? When the Nine Serenities Demon Emperor descends, he will grind your bones to dust!" the blood-robed man hissed venomously.

WHOOSH!

A blood mist flew out and instantly burrowed into the ground.

"Heh heh! Chen Zheng, you little whelp! Although my cultivation is gone, the Nine Serenities Demon Emperor left behind a remnant soul! This remnant soul can reshape a physical body. It only needs to devour a sufficient amount of pure bloodline power. It won't be long before I regain my peak strength! Chen Zheng, you're doomed! Even if you are the reincarnation of a peerless Sword Sovereign, I don't fear you! Heh heh heh! I'll take my leave now!"

The blood mist fled as the blood-robed man's voice echoed through the Chen family's ancestral graveyard.

"We're finished!"

"It's all over!"

"Ancestor!"

The members of the Chen Clan trembled ceaselessly.

"Hmph!" Chen Zheng uttered indifferently.

"You little bastard, just you wait. On the day you die, you will taste every kind of torment imaginable!" the blood mist roared ferociously from underground.

WHOOSH!

In the blink of an eye, it was gone without a trace.

Damn it! That nefarious soul escaped! Chen Zheng's brow furrowed slightly as his gaze swept over the surroundings. Other than some common spiritual materials and Spirit Grasses, there is nothing special about this Chen Clan ancestral graveyard. It might have no connection to my past life as Chen Zheng. As for the graveyard itself, it's sealed by some sort of evil law. If I break the restrictive spell, I should be able to go in and retrieve that item. For some reason, I can't remember why I sealed this place back then.

"Chen Zheng, what's going on? And who is this Ancestor he was talking about?" Little Bone's brow was also furrowed as she couldn't help but whisper.

"Not sure," Chen Zheng shook his head lightly.

"You… you don't remember the Ancestor? The Ancestor is Chen Zheng, and you are the reincarnation of Chen Zheng; you should recognize him!" Chen Muqing was flabbergasted.

The blood-robed man's cold, ruthless voice echoed from afar, "Me, the reincarnation of Chen Zheng? Haha! Chen Zheng perished a thousand years ago. This corpse is merely a vessel for his reincarnation! You little thing, not only did you ruin my plans, you also doomed the reincarnation of your own Ancestor. You defiant descendant, I will have my revenge!"

The blood-robed man vanished completely, leaving only the Chen clansmen behind. They looked at each other, and a deathly silence fell.

"Ancestor… do you really not remember our great Ancestor?" a moment later, Chen Changhe took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Chen Zheng. "You once said that if you had the chance, you would lead our Chen Clan out of this world and back to the Desolate Ancient Immortal Domain. Ancestor, have you forgotten this promise?"

He wanted to awaken Chen Zheng. He wanted Chen Zheng to continue being the Ancestor of the Chen Clan. Because as long as the Ancestor was alive, he believed that the Chen Clan would soon rise again.

"Oh? Leave this world? Indeed, I did make such a promise," Chen Zheng replied with a nod, a mocking curve playing on his lips. "But you are all mistaken. Chen Zheng was extinguished long ago. This body is just an avatar of my Primordial Spirit. Chen Zheng no longer exists!"

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

The Chen clansmen collapsed to their knees, tears streaming from their cloudy eyes.

"Ancestor, how could you have perished! Our Ancestor Chen was the invincible Chen Zu who dominated the myriad realms ten thousand years ago!"

"Ancestor, we don't believe it! We've put our faith in you our entire lives; how could you have perished!"

"Ancestor! You're lying to us, right?!" the Chen clansmen cried out in sorrow.

"Sigh!" Chen Zheng sighed and shook his head.

My main body is indeed still alive. However, it is no longer the Chen Zheng of the past. That avatar from my main body has already achieved sainthood. This current body of mine is another avatar, reincarnated to cultivate anew—the last prodigy with the Chen surname in all the heavens and earth. My main body's realm has already surpassed any level of life within the Great Void. Even though I was reincarnated into a mortal shell, and even though my cultivation speed is far slower than before, I am still leagues more powerful than ordinary Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, or Qi Refinement Realm cultivators. Even without the combat power of a half-step Golden Immortal, I am still the reincarnation of the Supreme Immortal King.
