Without a Heroic Spirit, I Can Only Hand-Craft a Mythical Version of Myself – Chapter 52

Ch 52: Sun Chuanting

At the same time.

Not far from here, at a teahouse.

A slender young man with a scholarly air, wearing a brocade robe, was drinking tea, his eyes flowing with a strange luster.

“Sun Chuanting? From the perspective of this era, he is indeed remarkable!”

The most conclusive statement about the Ming dynasty is… “The Ming dynasty fell with the death of Chuanting!”

Sun Chuanting’s demise was closely related to the Ming dynasty’s fall.

Perhaps he isn’t the world’s top Divine General, but he undoubtedly symbolizes the last glory of the Ming.

“Heaven and Earth Realm… combined with his deeds! If he were to awaken in later generations, he should at least achieve a Azure-Colored Heroic Spirit, right?” Chu Mo raised a glass in the direction of Sun Chuanting, then drained it in one gulp.

“But speaking of which, according to historical records, Sun Chuanting should be fighting Li Zicheng right now.” Putting down his teacup, Chu Mo mused, “Did my actions cause a butterfly effect that brought him to the Northeast?”

After paying the bill, Chu Mo strolled away, a rusty kitchen knife hanging at his waist.

Of course, this wasn’t conspicuous on the street, and few people suspected he was a butcher. The reason was simple: anyone with a bit of wealth deliberately wore a rusty kitchen knife at their waist when walking on the street!

They were clearly ardent fans of the Butcher!

Unless you lived in the Northeast, it was hard to imagine the Butcher’s popularity in this land. It far surpassed that of Zu DaShou and the Guan Ning Cavalry…

The Guan Ning Cavalry could fight against the Demon Army for them.

But the Butcher, with his own strength, had carved out five years of peace for Jinzhou City. He could turn the northern Demon Army upside down, forcing Huang Taiji to strategically retreat…

He added a touch of everyday life to this city on the front lines of the war!

Chu Mo strolled down the street, casually bringing up his information panel.

【Name】: Chu Mo（Zhang Tongle）

【Identity】: Lord of the Doors of Time, Demonic Khan

【Talent】: Lifespan Point Allocation…

【Lifespan】: Demonic Lifespan: 240,6872 years, Human Lifespan: 356 years

【Heroic Spirit】: Demonic Khan/Butcher（Can be Condensed）

【Current Martial Arts】: Heavenly Human Tome, Demonic Tome, Demonic Domain, Mountain River Sea Domain, Luohan Domain, Luck Technique

【Cultivation】: Ninth Revolution Heaven-Human Peak

Yes, still Heaven-Human! Chu Mo had used a considerable amount of lifespan for this, but he still couldn’t take that step. He figured it was because these past ten years had been too smooth! It was hard to find an opponent who could bring him crisis and pressure.

The so-called Ninth Revolution Heaven-Human was to abolish his cultivation nine times and then re-cultivate back to Heaven-Human. He had done this once in the Grandmaster Realm, and after achieving the Heaven-Human Peak, he continued to do it… finally forging his terrifying strength, which was simply indescribable!

Chu Mo, a Heaven-Human Peak, had several times more energy in his body than an ordinary Heaven and Earth Realm expert.

“I just don’t know, after returning, will I be able to condense two Heroic Spirits, the Demonic Khan and the Butcher, or just one?”

Chu Mo looked at the dash in the middle of the Heroic Spirit entry and muttered to himself.

Of course, he was just muttering. He knew very well that he would most likely condense the Zhang Tongle Heroic Spirit. The Butcher and the Demonic Khan were just his identities!

In these ten years, Chu Mo, as the Demonic Khan and the Butcher, had clashed with Huang Taiji several times. He basically won every time, but in the end, Chu Mo always ran away…

It wasn’t that Huang Taiji was really stronger than Chu Mo. In a one-on-one fight, Chu Mo could chop off his head with a rusty kitchen knife.

The problem was that Huang Taiji had too many experts under his command. Too many to the point of being abnormal… Even Hong Chengchou, who was originally good at wisdom but not strength and was at the Heaven-Human Peak, broke through to the Heaven and Earth Realm after defecting…

Although Chu Mo needed a fierce battle to help him break through, being surrounded by that group of Heaven and Earth Realm experts wouldn’t help him break through, but would put him in a situation where he would either break through or die! Given a choice, Chu Mo wouldn’t be so unwise.

However, after ten years, Chu Mo had roughly guessed what was going on with his old opponent.

“Black Emperor!” Chu Mo narrowed his eyes, recalling his debut battle seven years ago, when he unified the grasslands as the Demonic Khan and faced the Demon Army.

◈◈◈

In that battle, he used the Luck Technique and clearly saw several abnormal titles marked above Huang Taiji’s state.

【Name】: Huang Taiji

【Identity】: Demon Qing Emperor/Black Emperor’s Kin/Black Emperor’s Avatar

【Realm】: Heaven and Earth Realm Peak

【Martial Arts】: Yongle Divine Art, Black Emperor Method, Blood Sea Domain, Changbai Mountain Domain, Eternal Night Domain, Black Emperor’s Power

【State】: Being eroded by the Black Emperor’s Power…（Imperial Power Ominous, Destined to Die Violently）

Chu Mo thought of Huang Taiji’s death in history before entering the Pass, and his mood was somewhat subtle. He felt that this should be related to the erosion of the Black Emperor’s Power…

“In the past, when I fought Huang Taiji as the Demonic Khan and the Butcher, I never saw him use the Black Emperor’s Power. Perhaps that’s why I could easily suppress and defeat him at the Ninth Revolution Heaven-Human Realm!”

“But the day he uses the Black Emperor’s Power… should be coming soon!”

Chu Mo recalled the history he had seen in the future and calculated the time in his mind, “It should be in these few days that Huang Taiji will formally attack Jinzhou City, destroying all the Ming court’s nails in the Northeast in one day.”

No matter which version of history, the records of Huang Taiji on that day were remarkably consistent… as if he were a god!

But after that battle, after the Demon Race truly became the dominant force in the Northeast, Huang Taiji died of illness before entering the Pass.

Although many Heroic Spirits from the Huang Taiji era had awakened in later generations, and even Huang Taiji’s Heroic Spirit had awakened…

The historical versions that were eventually summarized were all kinds of things!

Like Huang Taiji’s Heroic Spirit suspecting that Dorgon had poisoned him.

Dorgon’s Heroic Spirit Awakened One felt wronged, swearing to the heavens that it had nothing to do with him, and also said that although he couldn’t remember exactly how many years Huang Taiji had lived, he was also several hundred years old, and his lifespan was almost up anyway…

But now it seemed… Chu Mo’s expression was strange, was it caused by the erosion of the Black Emperor’s Power!

“But Dorgon seemed to live much less time than Huang Taiji? But his cultivation realm, at least in his prime, was no weaker than Huang Taiji, and might even be stronger… So!”

Chu Mo vaguely suspected that Dorgon’s body might also have been inhabited by the Black Emperor’s Power? But unfortunately, in the past ten years, Chu Mo had not encountered this future Imperial Ancestor Regent.

“Let me see, what exactly is the situation with the Black Emperor in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties!” Chu Mo’s eyes were filled with a strange depth.

Two days later.

Iron hooves clattered, demonic energy soared to the sky, and the indescribable demonic aura transformed into a phantom of a Motley Giant Tiger in the distance, reaching the sky and the earth, as if roaring towards Jinzhou City.

Sun Chuanting and Zu DaShou, who were patrolling the city walls, had drastic changes in their expressions.

“What?!”

“This sense of oppression… This is impossible! How can it be so strong?!”

If the two Divine Generals were like this, the ordinary soldiers were even more trembling, their faces pale, and many even fell to the ground on the spot.

At the end of the horizon, as far as the eye could see, carrying terrifying demonic energy, like a tsunami rushing towards Jinzhou City—was a dense, arranged into a demonically large formation, almost causing trypophobia, the Demon Race Iron Cavalry!

After a brief silence, signal fires rose up at this moment!

Jinzhou City entered a state of combat readiness, becoming solemn and dignified. All men, women, old and young, realized what was happening—

The Demon Army is attacking the city!
