Rebirth: City Sovereign

On a black patch of land, the sound of pitter-patter of rain could be heard.    

As he slowly opened his eyes, they reflected into Ye Ning's eyes an extremely dull and dark radiance.    

For a moment he thought he was dead, but the icy sting of rain on his bare skin reminded him that he was still alive.    

"…"    

Ye Ning slowly stood up from the ground. He used the broken Mechanical Arm to support his forehead with difficulty.    

On a planet with no one around, the only things scattered around were the fresh blood and various shattered pieces of metal that had flowed out from Ye Ning's wounds.    

"Cough …"    

Not long after he straightened his body, Ye Ning's body suddenly trembled. He wanted to suppress the overwhelming feeling in his stomach, but in the end, he couldn't help it. He coughed loudly, spitting out a mouthful of black and red blood.    

Although half of his body had been transformed into a machine by the technique of mechanical Titan Clan, Ye Ning still persisted in retaining all of his various nerves, including his sense of pain. The tearing pain constantly warned him that his own body was on the verge of collapse.    

In his brain, memory fragments gradually formed, and what happened about an hour ago was played in Ye Ning's brain like a walking lantern.    

An hour ago, he had been trapped in the Xuanyuan Illusion Light Array and had to endure the combined attack of the three great families for more than ten minutes. If it were any other ordinary cultivator, they would have long been burnt to ashes by the attacks and wouldn't even last half a minute. In actuality, when the bombardment of spells and treasures was halfway done, Ye Ning's entire being had already been destroyed to the point that his consciousness became blurry and his consciousness became muddled. Even the simplest protective barrier could not be used.    

But even so, he survived.    

He survived with his last breath.    

The Lifestyle Race's Repairing Technique allowed the user to slowly heal the fatal wound after suffering certain death injuries. At the same time, it also created the illusion that the caster was already dead.    

The price of having a spell that could defy the will of the heavens was equally huge.    

Ye Ning who had sacrificed half of his cultivation, was only at the initial stage of Transcendency Stage.    

The current him, other than a few foreign bloodlines that normal people don't have, was only an ordinary cultivator that had reached the initial stage of Transcendency Stage. Even when his God Clan Continent was about to loosen up and his Ji Realm opened, there was no reaction.    

"Hmph!"    

Wiping the blood and vomit from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, just as Ye Ning was about to stand up, he fell onto the hard ground with a thump.    

Only now did he realize that it wasn't just his arms that were crippled, even the two legs that he had transformed into a machine had been broken. The current him was simply using half of his organs to live.    

With much difficulty, Ye Ning straightened his body and looked around him. The black ground and soil without any signs of life told him that the place he was currently staying was no longer at the God Clan Continent anymore.    

"How did this happen?"    

"What went wrong?"    

Ye Ning couldn't understand at all. He had spent so much effort and killed so many people, and just as he was about to open his Extreme Realm, he escaped with such a miserable appearance after less than a day.    

How was it any different from those God Clan Cultivator s throwing out their God Clan Continent like trash?    

Although he was not as arrogant as Ye Kai, this did not mean that Ye Ning did not have the arrogance of a heaven opposing cultivator with heaven-defying Tribulation Crossing Stage.    

No matter what, Ye Ning had absorbed the bloodlines of millions of foreign races. At the same time, the blood of the God Clan within his body belonged to the Universe rank warriors, and their entire Alien Clan of Devil Realm followed his orders as the "Slaughter King" as they bowed before him. Ye Ning's state of mind had long since changed from being a top assassin from Earth Assassin Organization to a proud king.    

As for entering the God Clan Continent, that had long been part of Ye Ning's plan. After all, the spirit artifact treasures inside the God Clan Continent were not something that could be easily obtained from the outside universe.    

However, he had never imagined that he would end up in such an ugly and unacceptable state.    

How could he accept such an outcome?    

"Ha, ha!"    

He gasped for breath, crawling on the black ground with difficulty like a maggot. The black blood drew two long lines along the path he had climbed.    

But no matter how much he struggled, his crawling speed became slower and slower. After all, using the Life Breaking Technique could only heal the spell that killed him, while Ye Ning had been hit by tens of thousands of techniques. Now that he still had his consciousness, it was already a miracle.    

However, just as he was about to faint, a heavy male voice sounded in his ears.    

"Lord Slaughter King?"    

Ye Ning was startled, he turned and looked towards the origin of the voice.    

He saw a two metre tall Tall Man standing beside him, looking down at him. His skin was a dark green color, and beside his ears were two branches.    

"Treant race? Why are we here? "    

Treant Demons were a type of race that lived on the Devil Realm. Although they weren't as powerful as Devil Clan, Blood Clan, or Titan Clan, which had extremely strong innate skills in the arts, they had an extremely long lifespan, and at the same time, their bodies could store large amounts of spirit energy.    

"This is a planet at the edge of the Devil Realm."    

"Also, are you really Lord Slaughter King?"    

The Tree Demon Clan member looked at the dying Ye Ning from two to three meters away, and he still had a little suspicion in his heart.    

After all, it had not even been a day since a Slaughter King of the Devil Realm entered the God Clan Continent, yet he had actually encountered one in this kind of place.    

"You said that this is the Devil Realm? "I actually reached such a far place." Teleporting to the Devil Realm could be Ye Ning's subconscious actions, but he did not expect that he would actually teleport directly from the God Clan to the Devil Realm either.    

Ye Ning's field of vision sized up the Treant Race and suddenly, the muscles on his face twitched.    

After absorbing the God Clan corpse cultivator, Hee Hong, who was looking at the Treant Tribe beside him, felt a sense of exhaustion arise in his body that he had never felt before.    

hunger    

"Treant, what's your name?" When he opened his mouth to speak again, Ye Ning had already made a decision.    

"Reporting to Lord Slaughter King, my name is Ruo Mu. I am the third elder of the Treant Tribe."    

"Ruo Mu, what a good name."    

"So, Ruo Mu, I have something to tell you when you come over."    

Treant race did not have the ability to heal, and Ruo Mu was not able to heal the Ye Ning in front of his eyes.    

"Puchi."    

A black long blade suddenly came out from Ye Ning's Mechanical Arm, and directly pierced through the tall tree demon's body!    

"T-Lord Slaughter King?" Ruo Mu's expression was lifeless as he spat out a mouthful of blood. With a plop, he fell to his knees.    

"Ruo Mu, you will become the first corpse of my Slaughter King."    

Ye Ning's expression turned crazy. His black blade shone with a dark radiance as he continued to absorb the spirit energy from Lin Mu's body.    

A few seconds later, a dried up corpse fell to the ground. At the same time, a human that was originally on the verge of death slowly stood up.    

Ye Ning removed the parts of his body that were mechanically connected, and tree branches that were the shape of branches grew out from the gaps in his body, forming his new four limbs.    

"Mmm, I'm really not used to this kind of body with plant properties mixed in."    

As Ye Ning moved his four limbs, he took off the black hemp clothes that Mu Mu had worn and draped it over his body.    

"However, the current situation is special, so I can only wait."    

He could feel that after absorbing Hee Hong, his ability to absorb other people's cultivation had increased exponentially.    

Originally, his injuries would have taken at least five to six members of the Demonic Tree Race to barely recover. Now, after absorbing just one, he could stand up.    

Not only that, his cultivation base, which had been lost due to the Life Bestowal Spell, had also recovered a little after consuming the Wooden Block.    

Ye Ning judged that it was probably not the ability of the God Clan, but rather some kind of spell used by the old demon Hee Hong.    

"Heh, looks like this short trip to God Clan was not made in vain."    

Ye Ning moved his limbs and looked around.    

What he was pointing at, was not only Hee Hong's ability. More importantly, during the fight between Hee Hong and Ye Kai, he had understood something extremely important.    

That was killing someone to open up the Ji Realm!    

Thinking about that, Ye Ning stopped moving his head and looked towards a resplendent planet in the distance.    

With a face full of bloodlust and greed, Ye Ning tapped the ground with his feet and his entire body turned into a thick blood mist, rushing towards the star ball!    

"Ye Kai, just you wait, don't think that it's over."    

"I will definitely make you pay the price of regretting being born!"
