📖 Chapter 1065 - Miserable Chen Han!

20 Aug, 2023

“How could I be so unlucky?!” Chen Han went crazy as he fled at top speed. But although he was fast, Wang Baole was even faster. Rumbling sounds echoed out as Wang Baole shot forth in pursuit, causing the fog around them to roll away violently. And as his killing intent locked on to Chen Han’s body, Chen Han felt like he was about to explode.

“This guy… is such a freak!!” Chen Han felt his scalp go numb. His whole body broke out in goosebumps, and even his soul was shaking. He even had the feeling that the one chasing him wasn’t a person, but rather an entity of endless light, endless blood, and endless devouring intent.

If not, then why would his entire body feel a stinging pain like it was being melted by rays of light? Why would his blood seem to be leaving his control, trying to reach out to the person behind him? Why would there be a devouring force constantly pulling him in, making it impossible to completely escape no matter how fast he went?

“Ahhhhhh!!” Sensing the source of killing intent behind him getting closer and closer, Chen Han felt indignant to the extreme.

“The ultimate mastermind was Xu Yinling! Why don’t you go after her!? That kid from the Nine Provinces Dao was the main attacker! Why don’t you chase after him!? That bastard Kiga’s ninth disciple is arrogant and domineering, why don’t you go and beat him up!?

“Why are you chasing me? Why me? You’re bullying an honest man!!”

“Noisy!” Wang Baole’s icy voice rang out in response, and his aura flared with ferocity. Rumbles rang out as he chased Chen Han through the white fog, both of them moving at indescribable speed. The whistling sounds of the chase spread into the distance, causing the fog to roll away wherever they passed.

It seemed that even the fog could do nothing to obscure these two figures. As for the remaining trial takers nearby, everyone who saw Wang Baole and Chen Han retreated in shock.

To them, the fluctuations coming from the two figures in the fog were just too scary!

A boom rang out, and Chen Han’s scream echoed from within the fog. It was so miserable that everyone who heard it instantly sped off in a different direction. It was the sound of Chen Han losing one arm…

Moments earlier, Wang Baole had suddenly accelerated rapidly, closing the distance in an instant. In the moment of crisis, Chen Han was forced to self-detonate his right arm, turning it into a blood mist to block Wang Baole’s attack and increasing the speed of his own escape.

Although this technique of self-detonating individual body parts allowed him to increase his strength for a short period of time, he would become very weak after the effects wore off. Most importantly, the process was unimaginably painful, which was why Chen Han had screamed.

Now, after losing an arm, he exploded with speed, finally increasing the distance between him and his pursuer slightly. Chen Han really felt like he was about to cry. All his good luck seemed to have reversed after meeting Wang Baole.

‘How can this be… We all gained enlightenment of our past lives, so why is this freak so strong? Who the hell was he in his past lives!?’ Right now, Chen Han even questioned reality itself. There had to be something wrong with the world. Otherwise, why would a blessed child of fortune like himself be in such a miserable state now? And when he thought back to his own past lives, he wanted to cry even more.

‘My first past life was a warrior who got trampled to death by a godling. My second past life was a mortal who was bitten to death by a zombie. In my third past life, I wasn’t even a human anymore, but a flower… And the worst was my fourth past life! I was actually a bacterium inside someone’s intestines!!

‘I, Chen Han, received the old ancestor’s blessing when I was seven years old, and ended up cultivating to the peak of the Star Domain Realm. I then rebirthed and recultivated in order to break through to the Universe Realm. When I reached fourteen years old in my first rebirth, I obtained a fragment of the Heavenly Dao and fused it into my body… After my second rebirth, at the age of twenty-one, I picked up a thread of natural law and became even more formidable…

‘But since I still couldn’t break through to the Universe Realm, I rebirthed for a third time. At the age of twenty-eight, I obtained the rare Blood of Sacred Frost, which allowed my soul to go through a qualitative change… This is already my fourth time rebirthing and recultivating. According to the pattern, I should obtain some great fortune at thirty-five years old. And this year, I’m thirty-five…’ The more Chen Han thought about it, the sadder he became. He felt like he was going to go crazy. But no matter if he felt sad or crazy, nothing could help him right now…

It didn’t take long for another boom to echo out!

This time, Chen Han sacrificed his left arm…

The chase continued, and after half an incense stick’s worth of time, another boom rang out. Chen Han’s screams became even more miserable. This time, he had sacrificed his right leg.

Then came the left leg, then the waist, and then the upper body…

Two hours later, Chen Han was left with nothing more than his head. With indescribable grief and indignation in his eyes, he finally stopped and waited for Wang Baole, who caught up to him in a flash.

“Senior Brother Baole…” Chen Han, or rather his head, said pitifully.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you good at running? Self-detonate some more. Go on, do it. I’ll wait.” Wang Baole stared impassively at Chen Han’s head. In truth, his cultivation base was a little chaotic at the moment. Chen Han just ran too fast, and the constant partial self-detonations had wasted a lot of time. Thus, even Wang Baole was a little winded from chasing him.

That was why Wang Baole wasn’t in a hurry now that he’d finally caught up, snorting coldly and speaking to Chen Han in a threatening tone.

“Senior Brother, I can’t… can’t self-detonate anymore…” Chen Han finally burst into tears.

“Why not?” Wang Baole already knew the answer, but he still asked.

“Senior Brother, I… I only have my head left…”

“I can see that. Come on, either say something nice, or continue blowing yourself up.”

“Senior Brother, Sect Uncle, Master… Grandmaster, Grandpa, Milord! I made a mistake, I was wrong!!” Chen Han wailed, admitting defeat in hopes that Wang Baole would spare his life. However, Wang Baole wasn’t appeased in the slightest, eyes instead widening in anger.

“Not good enough! Still not blowing yourself up? Then I’ll help you!” With a flicker, Wang Baole instantly approached Chen Han and raised his right hand. The natural law of blood manifested in his hand, and as it appeared in Chen Han’s eyes, it seemed to turn into a monstrous sea of endless resentment, about to swallow him up.

“Brother, Uncle, Daddy…” In this life and death crisis, Chen Han couldn’t care less about saving face. He immediately gave a final effort at appeasing Wang Baole, but his eyes were already showing despair. He had seen those people commit suicide earlier, and he knew that he was about to follow them.

If he died here, would he be able to resurrect in the future like in the outside world? He didn’t know, but his intuition told him… that if he committed suicide here, he really might not have a chance at resurrection. He was extremely anxious, but just when he thought that those shameful words would be his last, Wang Baole’s hand suddenly stopped right in front of his forehead.

“What did you call me just now?”

Chen Han, who had fallen into despair, was taken aback by the sudden reprieve. Feeling like he’d just obtained a second chance at life, he immediately opened his mouth and called out.

“Brother? Uncle? Daddy!? Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!!” Chen Han reacted very quickly, rapidly eliminating the first two and shouting the word “Daddy” with all his heart.

This long-lost term of address made Wang Baole’s eyes shine with nostalgia and emotion. After going through those past lives of his, he had almost forgotten the pleasure of being someone’s daddy.

“Daddy, I was wrong, Little Han was really wrong!!” After seeing the emotion in Wang Baole’s eyes, Chen Han immediately became excited. He quickly spoke with extreme sincerity, even proactively handing over his essence blood and accepting Wang Baole’s soul brand.

After giving Wang Baole complete control over his life and death, Chen Han finally felt that he wouldn’t be killed right away and breathed a sigh of relief. However, grief and indignation still welled up within his heart.

‘I, Chen Han, am a prominent figure who has encountered all sorts of unbelievable fortune. Who would have thought that in this rebirth, after reaching the age of 35, what I got wasn’t a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, but… a daddy…’ With these thoughts in mind, Chen Han floated beside Wang Baole as they entered a nearby clearing. He wanted nothing more than to weep out loud…

Seeing Wang Baole sit down cross-legged to wait for the fifth day, completely ignoring the miserable head floating in the air, Chen Han really couldn’t hold back his tears.

‘To think that I, Chen Han, wasn’t satisfied with being an Almighty in the Star Domain Realm… Why was I so stupid? Why did I have to rebirth and recultivate again and again…

‘No, I can’t accept this. Damn it, how can I let that kid from the Nine Provinces Dao escape? How can I let Kiga’s disciple live in peace? I’ll definitely make sure that they have a new daddy too by the time we’re out of here!!’ Chen Han’s eyes flickered with madness. Since such a disaster had befallen him, there was no way that he would let the others leave with smiles on their faces!!

As he gritted his teeth and plotted, time passed slowly. Eventually, the aged voice once again echoed in the minds of all the trial takers within the fog.

“The fifth day, the fifth life!”
