Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

Under the cold gaze of the crowd, above a giant stone, a dazzling divine light flickered.

The figure of Jiang Hong slowly emerged.

His tightly closed eyes lifted slightly, meeting the gaze of the crowd. His brows furrowed involuntarily, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

He used some of the rules of this world to conceal himself, confident that he could deceive the perception of the Profound Earth realm. But... he still exposed himself.

Not only did these three crippled Profound Earth elders notice him, even these Nascent Soul realm cultivators also discovered his presence.

"These people... should not be underestimated!" Jiang Hong thought to himself.

Jiang Hong clasped his hands and said calmly, "I have no intention of being enemies with all of you. I will leave now."

Immediately, his figure gradually distorted and he left using the rules of this world.

Seeing this, the elders' eyelids twitched, revealing a look of surprise. With their strength, they couldn't even see how the other party left!

"Fortunately, the other party had no ill intentions." One of the Profound Earth elders said in a deep voice.

The elders nodded slightly, secretly relieved. That person clearly only had the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul realm, but he was able to easily leave under their watchful eyes. Just this ability alone was already extraordinary.

If a conflict had really arisen, they might have been able to deal with the other party, but it would definitely have taken some effort. This would undoubtedly disturb the Young King, which was not what they wanted.

On the other side, Jiang Hong, who had left, appeared on a desolate hill outside the barren mountains.

With his tightly closed eyes, he stared at the direction of the barren mountains, emitting a golden divine light, giving off an indescribable sense of holiness.

He was now using the preliminary stage of the Divine Ability, the Thousand Laws Heavenly Eye, to investigate the situation of the Human Stele.

His gaze penetrated through the void and first looked at the Human Stele...

"The Human Stele?"

Jiang Hong's eyes jumped, unable to hide his surprise. How could there be a Human Stele on the edge of this territory?

The Human Stele was a sacred object created by the Human Emperor, used to carry the luck and destiny of the human race. It was truly an unparalleled treasure!

Jiang Hong's heart suddenly became hot. Although the Human Stele was not what he needed, how could he not be tempted by such a sacred object of the human race?

"But... the strength of those indigenous people is not to be underestimated. Even if I manipulate the rules of this place, I'm afraid it won't be easy to take the Human Stele." Jiang Hong hesitated a bit. His goal was still the Divine Artifact, the Mountain Shaking Cauldron. If he were to be injured or obstructed here, it would undoubtedly create resistance to his acquisition of the Mountain Shaking Cauldron.

In this life, he cultivated the Thousand Laws Heavenly Eye Divine Ability, and the most crucial divine object was the Mountain Shaking Cauldron.

The Mountain Shaking Cauldron was a divine artifact once held by the Mountain God above the sky, containing a small part of the power wielded by the Mountain God.

If he could successfully seize and refine it, turning it into the foundation of the Thousand Laws Heavenly Eye, not only would the Thousand Laws Heavenly Eye be able to reach a higher level, but it also meant... he would have the opportunity to touch the power of the gods!

Still in the Nascent Soul realm, yet possessing a trace of divine power. The horror of his foundation at that time was self-evident.

Therefore, the Mountain Shaking Cauldron was of utmost importance. The Human Stele... although extremely precious, for him, it was more like an unexpected surprise rather than a necessity.

Of course... he was not willing to give up on such a sacred object of the human race.

Jiang Hong suddenly fell into hesitation and continued to investigate.

At this moment, his gaze moved away from the Human Stele and fell on Jiang Xuan... His brows furrowed, how could it be this kid?

He immediately recognized that the other party was the Jiang family disciple who had passed through the portal without any hindrance earlier. But... Jiang Hong couldn't understand how this kid had infiltrated among these indigenous people.

And he even gained their recognition and obtained the inheritance of the Human Stele?

"Truly a monstrous prodigy with a bloodline reverting to its ancestors!" Jiang Hong couldn't help but exclaim.

At the same time, he gave up on the idea of the Human Stele and turned around to leave, rushing towards the location of the Mountain Shaking Cauldron.

Firstly, there were too many obstacles, and he wasn't confident that he could successfully obtain the Human Stele.

The second point is... as members of the Jiang family, there is no need for him to plunder the other party's opportunities.

After all, this bloodline-reverting monster's methods are too mysterious, and he is also wary of him to some extent. Without a direct conflict of interest, it is better not to provoke him.

On this side.

Jiang Xuan has finally finished his comprehension. His sharp Sword Intent has completely melted away, revealing a tenacious vitality, while still concealing a hidden edge within.

Buzz—

Jiang Xuan opens his eyes, and his water-like Sword Intent sweeps through. His aura becomes even more profound, exuding a sense of returning to simplicity.

The hidden edge is restrained, gentle as water, giving off a sense of natural Dao.

The old man and the others suddenly feel Jiang Xuan's swordsmanship, and a chill runs down their spines.

It's not because the Sword Intent of the Young King is too powerful, but because his Sword Intent seems to be naturally flawless and carries a faint sense of the overall human trend!

Their intuitive feeling is not like facing a single swordsmanship, but... facing the resolute and magnificent human race!

It's just that the Young King is still in the Spirit Transformation Realm. If he steps into the Profound Earth Realm, they are afraid that they will not be able to match him with just one sword!

"Truly worthy of the Young King!" Everyone is amazed, and their eyes towards the Young King are full of respect.

"Sword Intent perfected!"

Jiang Xuan reveals a satisfied smile.

Of course, his satisfaction is definitely not just because his Sword Intent has reached perfection.

More importantly... he has taken the first steps on his own path of swordsmanship.

His swordsmanship is the sword of humanity!

The stronger the human race, the heavier his sword becomes!

He has a premonition that when his swordsmanship reaches perfection, he may be able to bear the aspirations, luck, and life force of the human race... and use the human race as his sword!

This is largely due to the human will that is bestowed upon him, but his special comprehension of swordsmanship is also indispensable.

Even... if he hadn't comprehended that segment of swordsmanship in the royal city, he would not have been able to reach this point today.

Jiang Xuan satisfactorily restrains his Sword Intent, then looks at the stone monument, and his mind has already established a certain connection with it.

With a casual move, the stone monument trembles, then rises from the ground, quickly shrinking and turning into a piece of incomplete jade, flying into Jiang Xuan's... forehead!

Buzz—

Ancient brilliance flickers, revealing a vast aura, sacred and extraordinary, forming a semi-transparent seal that is fiercely branded onto the curse totem!

The curse totem flickers crazily, as if struggling desperately. Then, eerie black mist surges out, forming a special power of rules, attempting to shatter the seal.

However, the seal formed by the stone monument is extremely strong, no matter how the curse totem struggles, it cannot shatter it.

In the process of expansion and contraction, a dynamic balance is formed.

Jiang Xuan slightly senses it and feels a sense of relief.

As a sacred object of the human race, the stone monument can indeed suppress the bloodline curse!

Now, the power of the bloodline curse that has invaded his bloodline has already weakened significantly.

When he first obtained the human will, he only had three years of lifespan left. But now... conservatively estimating, he can live for another ten years or more!

Of course, breaking through the Heavenly Origin Realm within ten years is still extremely difficult.

As for... stepping into the True God Realm within ten years, it is even more like a fantasy!

"If I can obtain the other four stone monuments and use the complete sacred objects of the human race to suppress the bloodline curse, I should be able to further extend my remaining lifespan. At least... reaching a hundred years should not be a problem." Jiang Xuan secretly ponders.

Immediately, Jiang Xuan raises his eyes slightly and looks at the old man, directly asking, "How can I obtain the other four stone monuments?"
