The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 241 Breathtaking Power: Even Gods Are Nothing More Than This!

Song Chen faced the dragon that was swooping down.

He didn't know how to turn the tide.

Even his last trump card shattered under the black dragon's might. He understood that even if Mr. Zhou appeared on the horizon now, his fate was already sealed.

He was prepared to die.

Although I don't know how to turn the tide, at least I can die standing, on the battlefield, which is the fate of a soldier.

In a daze, his entire life began to flash rapidly through his mind.

The last two years or so were undoubtedly the most exciting.

Since the memory awakening incident, he became a member of this organization. At first, he charged into battle to solve those incidents that are commonplace now but seemed bizarre at the time. Later, he began to recruit people, established a headquarters field team, and brought young people like Li Yu under Lan's command...

Time flies. This promising talent he once had has now become the leader of the third group, possessing formidable strength. Li Yu himself even has a next generation he has his own favorites. And for him to die here to protect this talent seems to be a fulfillment of his wishes.

In that final moment, many images seemed to flash through his mind.

It wasn't just Song Chen's memories, but also those of the Ming Dynasty genius Tang Shunzhi, whom he had awakened.

In that instant, Song Chen suddenly remembered Tang Shunzhi's obsession on his deathbed.

To eliminate the Japanese pirates, restore a clean land to our Ming Dynasty, and allow the people along the coast of our Ming Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment... In the end, Tang Shunzhi died on the ship that was clearing out the Japanese pirates.

"Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years..."

"It seems my story ends here."

"If Tang Shunzhi really is my past life, then the way I, Song Chen, died doesn't seem so shameful."

"Will my name, Song Chen, also leave a lasting impression on people's hearts, like Tang Shunzhi's?"

"Perhaps it won't work..."

"What is Song Chen anyway?"

Many thoughts flashed through his mind:

"Jiang Chuan, I hope I didn't die in vain."

"You have limitless potential."

Thinking this, he began to breathe calmly again, as if he had let go of all his obsessions and could now face his life and death with equanimity.

He opened his eyes and looked at the dragon head, which was now extremely close, only a hundred meters away from him.

The sense of oppression was incredibly strong.

"Come!"

Song Chen's stagnant body finally began to move.

He reached out and grabbed a long sword from the ruins.

This is the last cut I'll make in my life!

The blade of the longsword began to tremble, humming incessantly, while the tip rapidly brightened. In an instant, the sword's power became extremely fluid, as if only this single blade existed within this small world. The sheer power of this strike was enough to startle even the other powerful swordsmen present!
Song Chen knew that no matter how hard he tried, the chasm-like gap in strength was insurmountable...

But that's okay.

The sword's momentum had already condensed into a single point; seventy years of the past would all be cleaved out by this one strike!

Even if it was just a futile effort, the survivors would remember the brilliance of that strike!
Even if this one strike ultimately cannot change the outcome...

We must also send out an indomitable cry from humanity to the heavens and the gods!

The blade vibrated and hummed. Song Chen, who had been closing his eyes to cultivate his sword technique, opened his eyes at that instant.

In that instant, it shone brilliantly!
That tragic grandeur and the resolute determination that concentrated all its power into a single point were clearly perceived by everyone present, as if that consciousness had been conveyed to everyone through the intent of the sword.

Someone couldn't help but cry out in a tragic and alarming voice: "Old Song!"

In that instant, the sword was finally unleashed, cleaving through the torrential rain and the air, heading straight for the dragon's head!

Ao Yin certainly saw the strike, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

It seems that only a knife like this can pique its interest.

"Very good... I admire humans like you."

"I'll give you a quick death."

It happened so fast...

The blade, which seemed poised to pierce the heavens and earth, left a wound on the dragon's head, from which a few drops of dragon blood spurted out.

But that's it.

The dragon's head is about to fall violently, and the impact will be no less than that of a meteorite. The area within a radius of ten miles may be reduced to ruins as a result.

But in that instant, a hint of terror appeared in its enormous vertical pupils.

The dragon head, which was about to hit the ground, suddenly changed direction when it was only fifty meters away from the ground. The powerful inertia made it unable to stop its momentum. The dragon head rose up, while the dragon body plowed an extremely terrifying and wide trench in the ground behind them!

Boom! !
A tremendous sound of collision and friction rang out, and the black dragon soared into the air once more.

Those present had been prepared to die, but they were still somewhat surprised when they found themselves unharmed. The dragon's body had been like a rapidly moving black wall, grazing their scalps as it passed overhead. This sudden change had given them a narrow escape, but… no one knew what had happened.

Even Song Chen, who was prepared to die, was shocked and stared wide-eyed.

At the last second, he noticed the change in the black dragon's eyes...

But what exactly made it abandon its original attack?
Could it be that Mr. Zhou has returned?
Not only the awakened members of the organization present, but even Liu Shuo, who was still on the dragon's head, was bewildered: "What's going on?"

Ao Yin's voice rang directly in Liu Shuo's mind: "I almost died here!"

Liu Shuo's pupils contracted slightly, showing extreme surprise at Ao Yin's words.

Is there really a human who can pose a deadly threat to Ao Yin?

Ao Yin returned to the sky, cautiously watching the old human who had just unleashed a slash, his enormous pupils filled with wariness.

Song Chen, however, was completely baffled.

His brain, which had given up on thinking, immediately started working again, frantically trying to process what was happening before his eyes.

"In the end what happened?"

"Do we still have any hope of survival?"

Where exactly is the hope?

"What is it afraid of!?"

This line of thought was quickly abruptly halted by a voice behind him.

A calm voice seemed to pierce through the rain, penetrate the space, and resonate deep within everyone's soul.

"Beast."

"Why aren't you coming to meet your death?"

Song Chen stopped looking at the winding dragon in the sky through the heavy rain and immediately turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Not only Song Chen, but everyone's eyes immediately turned to look behind Song Chen.

In that instant, they felt an incredibly powerful aura erupt from that direction.

The energy was so powerful that it formed a gale that swept away the wind and rain in an instant, forcing everyone present to close their eyes and hide.

And when they opened their eyes again...

The rain stopped.

They looked up at the sky and saw a figure in black combat uniform standing between the black dragon and the ground, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

"That's... Jiang Chuan!?" Ai Zhe's eyes widened in surprise.

Liang Cheng's mouth was slightly agape, his face full of astonishment.

In Song Chen's old, cloudy eyes, disbelief was written... That powerful aura just now came from Jiang Chuan? What exactly had he experienced in those few minutes? How could he have made such exaggerated progress?

Standing atop the dragon's head, Liu Shuo stared at Jiang Chuan in shock. His astonishment and shock were greater than anyone else's, and his eyes held an incredibly complex expression.

He had already sentenced Jiang Chuan to death through divination and prophecy.

They even freed the dragon to prevent any future troubles... But what exactly is going on right now?
Why were such variables never shown in the simulation?
"How...how did you do that?"

He muttered to himself.

But Liu Shuo quickly recovered from his initial shock. His previously stunned and complex expression vanished, replaced by absolute coldness. Liu Shuo immediately issued an order to Ao Yin:
"That's Jiang Chuan!"

"kill him!"

Roar--!
The roar of the dragon resounded throughout heaven and earth!
At this moment, the black dragon unleashed its true power. Its immense pressure made everyone unable to lift their heads or breathe, but only the black-clad figure standing proudly in the sky remained unconcerned.

The black dragon opened its mouth, and a pure white, softly glowing sphere of light shot out, appearing like a bright moon rising in the dark sky. Anyone, even an ordinary person, could see that the dragon ball-like sphere possessed unimaginable destructive power. Liu Shuo, standing closest, even felt a stinging sensation on his skin. Such power, of course, reassured him considerably; clearly, if this "dragon ball" landed on the ground, it would cause cataclysmic destruction.

No one present escaped death.

He gathered his spiritual power, amplified his voice, and issued a final warning to Jiang Chuan.

"I will only kill you!"

"Jiang Chuan! Don't let others pay with their lives because of you!"

But that was just talk.

At this moment, the dragon ball was already falling rapidly towards the ground. Mysterious patterns swirled around the ball of light, and the immense energy contained within it poured outwards as it fell, scorching the rain and crashing down upon all living beings with a streak of fire.

Seeing such a scene, no one could help but feel despair.

Even though Jiang Chuan suddenly stood there so proudly, no one knew what kind of strength he possessed. Moreover, no matter how powerful he was, how could he withstand such a destructive attack?

Just then, everyone heard a cold snort between heaven and earth.

Everyone was startled.

"So you think you can swagger around by relying on this beast?"

Upon hearing this, the sphere of light, carrying an aura of destruction, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly shocked!

"It's just a black dragon..."

"You want to cut off my path too!?"

The voice was filled with raging anger, as if it were furious to the extreme.

And that sphere of light, radiating destructive power, vanished in an instant! An attack that was supposed to cause terrifying destruction… Jiang Chuan simply dissolved it without even lifting a finger!?
Ai Zhe was utterly shocked: "Is he still Brother Chuan?"

Liang Cheng swallowed hard: "Wouldn't it be even scarier if it wasn't Brother Chuan?"

Aizhe nodded: "That makes sense."

Song Chen looked up at the sky in astonishment, momentarily unsure who had been rescued. Jiang Chuan's power was simply too overwhelming. Only now did Song Chen realize that the force that had stopped the rain was actually Jiang Chuan's perception domain!
What kind of strength is that!?

While Song Chen was in utter shock, Heilong and Liu Shuo were completely dumbfounded.

Ao Yin couldn't understand how his all-out attack had disappeared.
Back then, Liu Bowen was able to subdue himself only by relying on the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces, gathering in Yandu, and wielding the Emperor's Sword... That dragon pearl was something even Liu Bowen had to dodge with all his might. It shattered several mountain peaks back then, so how did he manage to neutralize the dragon pearl so easily?

However, after the initial shock, Ao Yin's ferocity was further aroused.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to grow even thicker, with lightning brewing within them.

"Roar--!"

The lightning surged so fiercely that it made the hairs on the ground stand on end and caused a tingling sensation all over the body, which was enough to show how powerful the heavens were!
Dragons' innate abilities are naturally unmatched by humans. They can summon wind and rain, control lightning, and possess almost endless lifespans... The lightning grew increasingly terrifying, actually drawing arcs of electricity within the clouds. The lightning bolts converged towards their core, transforming from blue to purple... Their power reached a new level!
In order to instantly kill Jiang Chuan, this method of using the natural power of his talent to summon heavenly lightning is naturally Ao Yin's most powerful killing move!
Regardless of how he just did it...

Jiang Chuan could no longer withstand this attack!

"There's even stronger power?"

"Is there any limit to this dragon's strength?!"

"What else can Jiang Chuan do?!"

People all turned their gaze toward Jiangchuan.

At that very moment, Jiang Chuan finally took the initiative to act.

All the people saw was Jiang Chuan waving his hand.

Nothing seemed to have changed, but one could feel an extremely powerful force erupting forth, threatening to pierce through heaven and earth!
In an instant, a square hole was pierced through the thunderclouds...

boom!
A gigantic, transparent pillar pierces the sky and the earth!
Looking through the square hole in the clouds, everyone could see the refraction of light, and what pierced the sky looked like a giant crystal pillar!

boom! boom! boom! !

One after another, giant, transparent pillars pierced through the dark clouds!

The last rays of the setting sun were streaming down from the breach and falling onto the ground.

This scene gave people an incredibly sacred and magnificent feeling!

Even gods are nothing more than this!

That arrogant dragon, all its tricks were actually neutralized by Jiang Chuan!? People watched as the lightning brewing in the clouds dissipated, and as that simple yet powerful technique took effect…

They could clearly see that... Jiang Chuan still had room for maneuver!
At this moment, the dark clouds seemed to have reached their limit, or perhaps Jiang Chuan was tired of dispersing them little by little.

He waved his hand roughly.

The dark clouds, stretching for miles, suddenly dispersed in the instant of that wave of the hand!

The city, which had been shrouded in dark clouds like night, was suddenly exposed to sunlight again in an instant, and the azure sky reappeared! This abrupt change in scenery was breathtakingly powerful!

The heavy, oppressive feeling emanating from the black dragon and the thick, dark clouds vanished with a wave of his hand.

People looked at Jiang Chuan in shock, only to see him soar into the sky, his figure rising higher and higher until he became a black dot, until he reached the black dragon.

High in the cold wind, he stared at the dragon and at Liu Shuo.

Liu Shuo looked at that familiar face, yet it felt so foreign.

After a month of reconnaissance, he was fully prepared and had not underestimated anyone, but he never imagined that Jiang Chuan would have such a trump card!
"who are you!?"

"I've calculated all the outcomes! You're destined to die!"

"who are you!!!"

"How could you possibly possess such immense power!"

Liu Shuo's voice was somewhat hysterical.

After planning for so long, he was still going to lose... It wasn't that he couldn't accept defeat, but at this moment all his plans were completely crushed by sheer strength. The humiliation and resentment caused Liu Shuo's mental defenses to collapse.

Jiang Chuan just stared at him coldly and did not respond immediately.

That cold gaze dissipated Liu Shuo's madness in the wind; the madness deep in his eyes quickly turned into astonishment. Although there was no divination or calculation, Liu Shuo had already seen his end.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan's indifferent voice rang in Liu Shuo's ears:

"Even if ants grow wings, they still want to soar to the sky?"

"Just because you've seen the Three Great Paths, you think you've got victory in the bag?"

"Liu Shuo".

"It's time to finish."
