Chapter 1171 - 1169: Where Destruction Leads to Creation

"What kind of people are we?"

The Fire Qilin’s gaze fell on the speaker and directly asked.

The corner of the man’s mouth revealed a faint smile, then he spoke softly, "In my opinion, everyone on the Star War Battlefield is thinking of their own interests, hardly paying attention to those around them, and even less to the attitudes of others. In order to enhance their own strength or obtain what they desire, they might even strike against those closest to them."

"But you are not like that. You are still considering this guy’s life and even plan to live and die together with him. It’s indeed quite interesting."

This person knew little of the fact that Wang Zhan almost sacrificed his life for the others back then, which is why their relationship is this strong. If it hadn’t been for Wang Zhan’s sacrifices, why would they be willing to follow him?

One should know, the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s power is extremely terrifying; even within the sea domain, there are hardly any who can match him, and he can act recklessly, yet due to Wang Zhan, he chose to follow him and even protect him.

The man didn’t continue speaking, his gaze had already fallen on Wang Zhan, clearly waiting for a response.

He had never managed to cultivate the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation to its optimal state. Though he could act recklessly relying on it, who wouldn’t want their strength to further improve?

The Star War Battlefield is full of miracles, but to create a miracle, one must naturally have absolute power.

As time ticked by, with a loud bang from the sky, Wang Zhan suddenly collapsed, his aura weakening significantly!

Upon witnessing this, everyone’s expressions changed, and they immediately rushed toward Wang Zhan.

"Wang Zhan! How do you feel?"

The Hexagonal Golden Snake spoke first, looking extremely distressed, with worry filling his eyes.

Wang Zhan slowly opened his eyes. Although he felt very weak, he realized this method was indeed effective, and his strength was gradually recovering.

It was only because the power of lightning was too domineering that he was in this state now, but Wang Zhan was well aware that given some time, he would naturally recover to peak condition, and his strength would likely improve to some extent.

Moreover, the most crucial thing is, he can now master the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation, and with the Absolute Heaven’s Sword in hand, though he won’t be an invincible existence, he will be able to traverse the entire Star War Battlefield in the future!

Before the Hexagonal Golden Snake and others could speak, the man behind them clenched his fist excitedly. He quickly said, "The contents of the ancient books did not deceive me. This indeed can enhance his strength!"

"And I can sense that by abolishing all techniques from myself, I can achieve ’destroy to establish,’ thus making my strength stronger and mastering the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation completely!"

"But this is too insane, and nobody dares to do it, but now, it seems a miracle has indeed been created!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, their primary concern being Wang Zhan’s health.

After all, even if Wang Zhan had to lie in bed for the rest of his life, they would still stay by his side, protecting him, so there really was nothing to worry about.

But they understood in their hearts, Wang Zhan isn’t one who likes being protected.

No matter the time, Wang Zhan would never show his weak side to anyone, and he had long been the one standing in front of everyone. If there’s a sudden change now, it would be a heavy blow to him.

"Thank you, sir, for stepping in. If not for you teaching me the secrets of cultivating the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation, I would perhaps still be in my previous state, far from recovering to peak condition."

"Moreover, I believe my injuries won’t take long to heal completely. Since you bear no hostility towards us, we can just return to Ten Thousand Sword City, rest, and restore our strength to peak condition quickly. Only by doing so can we ensure everything proceeds smoothly."

Wang Zhan’s heart was filled with excitement.

He originally thought he was finished, but never expected that the world is never short of miracles, and he turned out to be the creator of one!

This time, it was a blessing in disguise. Though it means ’destroy to establish,’ for him, it brings certain benefits. Now, he can feel that his strength far surpasses the past, and once given a little more time, his strength will recover, enabling him to retrieve the power sealed within the Absolute Heaven’s Sword.

By then, even Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin couldn’t compare to him!

Although Wang Zhan didn’t mean to compete with them, both of them were close to him, and Wang Zhan didn’t like forever standing behind others, even if he couldn’t lead the way, he must be able to protect himself.

The man chuckled and shook his head, patted Wang Zhan’s shoulder, then spoke slowly, "Between you and me is a transaction; your physique happened to be most suitable for cultivating the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation, so I thought to impart its techniques to you. If one day I find myself in a desperate situation, perhaps I will use the same method, abolishing all my cultivation, just to achieve a breakthrough!"

Though he spoke like this, the man before indeed helped him greatly, and all this Wang Zhan kept in mind.

The man’s eyes shifted suddenly, gazed in the direction of Ten Thousand Sword City, shook his head and said, "So you all have always been in Ten Thousand Sword City?"

"Actually, I’ve long sensed your existence but didn’t bother with you, nor did I go into Ten Thousand Sword City to seek traces from you, but why are you afraid of me? And choose to leave now?"

Wang Zhan’s condition was extremely poor, better than before but still unfit for excessive travel. Besides, the Thunder Domain was filled with lightning; if Wang Zhan was locked by any of those, he might not be able to leave!

Upon this remark, Wang Zhan smiled bitterly, hesitated for a while, and explained, "We only know your strength is terrifying, and you are close to us, practicing such strange techniques here, hence unclear whether you are friend or foe, we naturally need to leave the Thunder Domain quickly."

"After all, we’re not people of the Thunder Domain and don’t know much about it. Though staying in Ten Thousand Sword City might be a good backup plan, it also has its complications."

"Once you strike, likely none of us can escape your grasp."

Of course, if the Hexagonal Golden Snake used all means, perhaps he could preserve his life, but Wang Zhan was clear that, if it truly came to that moment, the Hexagonal Golden Snake would still stand by him unconditionally, never forsaking him.

Meanwhile, the man shook his head as he led them toward the direction of Ten Thousand Sword City, speaking slowly, "You just need to relax; if I bear no hostility, I would have acted already when you were unsuspecting, and I have no reason to do such things."

"Actually, my purpose is simple—to cultivate the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation to its peak, then move to a higher plane, which is my lifelong wish. But with the current power, even if I reach the highest plane, I believe I won’t survive."

"After all, there are so many strong beings there, far beyond my imagination, even if I set foot there, it would likely cost me my life..."

Listening to this, Wang Zhan and the others glanced at each other, everyone showing a trace of surprise.

He knew that even within the known planes, there are countless unknown strong beings, and many powerful demonic beasts sealed there, if they were to appear, even the Star War Battlefield would plunge into difficult times.

After arriving here, Wang Zhan hadn’t found any Teleportation Formation; he originally thought he’d reached the highest layer of the Star War Battlefield, but didn’t expect there to be a top layer!

"What kind of people live in the top layer? Is their power really as terrifying as you say? Even able to eliminate you instantly?"

The Fire Qilin asked first.

After all, he has ambitions, not willing to stay in lower planes forever; if given a chance, he surely wants to see a higher world.

But the man shook his head and said with furrowed brows, "The situation in the highest plane is far more complex than you imagine; it is said there are true gods there."

"True gods?"

Wang Zhan was abruptly taken aback; could gods not just be legend but indeed exist!

The man seemed to perceive what Wang Zhan was thinking and spoke again, "There are true gods on the Star War Battlefield, and naturally, there are no demonic beasts in the top plane; how could they dare to trespass the domain of gods?"

"As far as I know, to survive in the top layer, you first need to create a divine domain of your own; if you can’t do this, even if you reach the top, it will be a dead end."
