Chapter 583 The Truth of That Battle

Feeling the aura of that strange powerful being gradually dissipating, Du Chengfeng was extremely shocked.

Although he didn't know the name of this powerful man, he had an impression of him - in the previous battle, this powerful man took his sword and did not die, which left a deep impression on him.

This fight also fully proved the strength of this powerful person. You know, he used the method of Yaoguang Xingjun and almost didn't reveal any traces, but this strange powerful person still used poison mist to find out his position in the first time, and even used a powerful killing move.

But unfortunately, this powerful being was faced with the newly born Sword of Regret.

After just one confrontation, the regret in the heart of this strange and powerful man was ignited, just like Du Chengfeng before, just like Constable Tian before - or, just like the huge figure killed by Constable Tian, ​​immersed in regret, this powerful man lost all his will to fight, and as a result, although he was clearly sure of victory, he was killed by a sword in the throat after just a confrontation.

Of course, if it is just a simple sword to seal the throat, it is nothing for a powerful person. It may be a fatal injury to a mortal, but for a powerful person who can perfectly control his body, a hole in the neck does not have much impact, and it may not even affect the battle.

But there was a hole in his neck, which meant that his body was in direct contact with the Sword of Regret itself.

What killed this powerful man was the boundless regret in his heart.

No matter whether they are mortals or powerful beings, as long as they can still regret, they will be treated equally in front of this sword of regret.

"This……"

Feeling the still leaping sword of regret, Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded for a moment.

If his power of equality for all beings still remains at the slogan level and can only be regarded as a balance that brings mortals closer to the powerful, then this sword of regret has truly reached the level of equality for all beings - as long as there is still regret in the heart, one will definitely be hurt by this sword. If the regret left in the heart is too heavy, this sword of regret can be said to be a fatal blow!

Only those who have no regrets in their hearts can face this sword.

"This is... the Sword of Regret!"

This was the first time Du Chengfeng had seen such a magical weapon.

Compared with this sword of regret with strange powers, all other weapons pale in comparison, like the long staff that fell to the ground and could turn into a centipede, or the ancient long sword that Constable Tian had used before and originally belonged to the Star Lord Yaoguang. These two were obviously top-grade weapons, but compared to this sword of regret, they were still far inferior.

This is because no matter whether it is a long staff or an ancient long sword, they all still fall into the category of weapons.

But the new sword of regret that Du Chengfeng had obtained now had the power to go straight to the heart of the people.

"Perhaps... this is the real weapon."

At this moment, Du Chengfeng had a vague understanding.

Yes, this is the real weapon. Although those ordinary weapons can destroy the flesh, they can only be regarded as toys in this idealistic world - only because the destroyed flesh can be repaired, and even fatal injuries may not be fatal. As long as there is determination in the heart, even death can be surpassed.

But now, this sword of regret destroys that determination.

Since a firm will is the foundation of everything, if one wants to kill someone, one must naturally inflict the most direct damage to this firm will.

"amazing……"

After thinking about it, Du Chengfeng put the sword of regret together with his current body.

Perhaps if it were someone else, they would just put the sword of regret aside, but for Du Chengfeng, there was no need to do so, because at this moment he had already realized that he had to shoulder all the regrets, so he naturally became the wielder of the sword of regret.

After that, Du Chengfeng put the two swords on the waist of the corpse of the strange powerful man.

Although this strange mighty man was killed by a sword, his body was still warm after all - Du Chengfeng could control the living, so he could also control the dead who were not completely dead. Now that Constable Tian's body was damaged, he urgently needed a new swordsman to do something for him.

For example, polish the long staff in front of you.

Although the quality of this long staff taken as a trophy was not satisfactory to Du Chengfeng, there was still one thing on the staff that he could get - that was the memory attached to the staff. He wanted to see who this strange powerful man was and what these powerful men were like.

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng controlled the corpse, placed the broken sword on the long staff, and polished it gently.

As the polishing process continued, Du Chengfeng gradually got a glimpse of the past of this long staff.

Or rather, the past of the Centipede Star God.

Just like the terrifying power that Du Chengfeng had felt in the previous battle, this Centipede Star Lord is indeed an old-fashioned powerful man who respects strength. Moreover, this Centipede Star Lord's obsession with power has reached the point of madness. He even does not hesitate to use all the resources of the country to support himself as the ruler of a small country.

In any normal world, this behavior would be extremely dangerous, and those oppressed people would probably overthrow it on the spot.

But that's where the problem lies.

This world is not normal.

In this devilish idealistic world, possessing power means possessing absolute right to speak. The subordinates of this Centipede Star Lord have rebelled before, but each time they were suppressed by this Centipede Star Lord with his overwhelming strength. After experiencing several bloody battles, this Centipede Star Lord is still standing, and even becomes stronger and more fierce as he kills more.

"Ah this?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that this approach seemed quite familiar, and he must have seen it somewhere.

Yes, the Southern Chen Taizu seemed to be the same way, using his overwhelming strength to suppress one side, or even suppress the whole world - but this method is useful, and can even be said to be the most useful. At least in Du Chengfeng's memory, before the Southern Chen Taizu died, although the world was turbulent, it was not really chaotic.

And this Centipede Star Lord did something similar back then.

However, this Centipede Star God was not like the Southern Chen Taizu, who had the vision of conquering the world. Born in a small country in the southwest, the Centipede Star God had little knowledge and interest in the world. He was more focused on power itself.

Therefore, with this tireless pursuit of power, it was natural for the Centipede Star Lord to ascend to the heavens and achieve a powerful and honorable position.

And the small country originally owned by the Centipede Star Lord naturally perished after losing this absolutely powerful man.

"This……"

Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time after seeing this. The reason why this small country in the southwest could stand for more than 200 years was really because of the old monster, Baizu Xingjun. Since Baizu Xingjun had no other needs except cultivating strength, he became the pillar of stability for this small country. After Baizu Xingjun left, this small country without the protection of military force did not even last for two years and was incorporated into the territory of the Central Plains.

And this is also what makes Baizu Star Lord regretful.

Although the Centipede Star Lord had no feelings for that small country and only yearned for power, even if that small country could provide some resources occasionally, it would be better than just losing it.

"No, can you regret this?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that when the Centipede Star God encountered the Sword of Regret, he was probably professionally matched with this sword.

As Du Chengfeng continued reading, he also discovered that there were more things that the Centipede Star Lord regretted. During his practice, in pursuit of power itself, he had cut off all emotions and love, and had no humanity at all - this indeed allowed the Centipede Star Lord to obtain extremely powerful strength, and even allowed the Centipede Star Lord to attain the status of a powerful being, but whenever he woke up in his dreams at midnight, the Centipede Star Lord would still think of these things that made him extremely regretful.

Would everything have been different if I had chosen to pursue happiness instead of power?

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the Centipede Star God would often lean on his long staff and think like this.

"Ah, then if you don't die, then who will die?"

After seeing this, Du Chengfeng was finally convinced that this Centipede Star Lord was indeed a perfect match for this Sword of Regret.

However, the Centipede Star Lord also gave him a negative example, that is, it is not advisable to keep emphasizing that you have no regrets. Rather than being determined, it is more like a kind of self-hypnosis - after all, in a dilemma, there will always be times when you feel regret. If you choose this one, you will always wonder if it would be better if you chose the other one.

Instead of constantly emphasizing that you will not regret anything, it is better to simply choose to be aware and bear the responsibility of these regrets.

This Centipede Star Lord made the wrong choice from the very beginning.

And this problem of easily making the wrong choice has continued until recently.

The most recent event, naturally, is the matter of conquering the Heavenly Demon - although in Du Chengfeng's own opinion, he should not be called a Heavenly Demon, but the Centipede Star Lord recognizes this title and even regards it as an event that needs to be taken seriously.

So, it was natural for the Centipede Star God to participate in the battle.

As for the reason, it was to divide the corpse of the extraterritorial demon.

"That's it! This is what I want!"

In the picture brought by the long staff, the Centipede Star God was holding a severed arm in his hand and was overjoyed.

"This kind of aura, this kind of feeling... is something that does not exist in this world at all!"

"... Wait a minute?"

When Du Chengfeng saw this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Or perhaps, his feeling suddenly matched his previous guess, and the scene before him further confirmed this point. The previous crusade against him, that battle... Perhaps in his view, this was a battle to prove himself, but from the perspective of these powerful people, what did they think?
But now, Du Chengfeng knew it clearly.

In the eyes of these powerful men, his remains were an extremely important trophy.

"It seems...that's really the case."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng actually understood what these powerful men meant.

After all, he himself is also a powerful person, so he can naturally feel the limitations of the powerful - although the powerful people seem to be extremely powerful, only these powerful people themselves know that their power comes from their understanding of this world, and achieving the status of a powerful person means that their understanding of this world has reached an exaggerated level.

There is nothing new that can make them understand anymore. There is no way forward. If they want to keep going and become stronger, they must find something new.

This problem also troubled Du Chengfeng himself for a time. He really couldn't find anything new to study. After all, before he became a powerful man, he had been trying to explore this world, and he had realized the idealistic nature of this world very early. Now, even if he continued to go deeper, he had no direction to speak of.

However, this lack of direction only applies to him.

For other powerful people, his existence is a new direction.

His will, his body, everything about him, are essentially not just things of this world. Although he has been trying very hard to integrate into this world, and even to become one with other powerful beings, when he began to sense the power of equality of all beings and began to become different from other powerful beings, those powerful beings keenly sensed this opportunity.

Yes, opportunity.

In the eyes of other powerful beings, the existence of the extraterritorial demons means a new direction and new opportunities.

So the encirclement and suppression naturally occurred. It was more of a meeting to divide the spoils than an encirclement and suppression. Those powerful people gathered together not to eradicate him, but to study everything about him through the most personal way of fighting. As for the subsequent suppression, it could not even be considered suppression. Suppression was just a slogan on the surface, but in fact it allowed many powerful people to get some of the materials they wanted.

"You guys..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but get angry when he saw this.

They actually used him as an experimental material...How dare these powerful people!

But he continued to watch. He wanted to find out who the participants were and who the organizer was.

Fortunately, there are related memories on the long staff of the Centipede Star Lord.

To know who organized this kind of thing, we just need to see who benefits the most in the end. The one who benefited the most in this incident was obviously the Wenquxingjun who didn't look very strong. Indeed, the strength of this Wenquxingjun was very average, and he was not even among the top ones. But relying on this organized alliance, this Wenquxingjun actually directly occupied a high position.

This is another thing that the Centipede Star Lord regrets.

Letting a weak person command a strong person is a huge shame and humiliation for the Centipede Star Lord, who respects strength!
"So, go with peace of mind."

After watching everything, Du Chengfeng controlled the corpse of the Centipede Star Lord, leaned on the long staff, and stood up.

"I already know your regret, and I will avenge you."
