Chapter 274: A Thousand Pointing Fingers! Ascend into Darkness!

Chapter 274: A Thousand Pointing Fingers! Ascend into Darkness!

"Fiend! Su Changqing is an Extraterrestrial Fiend!"

"Damn! How is this possible? Our Continent Sword God has also fallen to darkness?"

"He hid it so well! I just thanked him for saving my life!"

"But... Su Sword God has always been helping us on the Continent, even if he really is a Fiend..."

"Shut up! A Fiend is a Fiend! Who knows what his true intentions are?"

Looking at the young man on the Dark Altar, with his white hair dancing wildly and darkness swirling around him, the Cultivators of the World were all aghast.

After a brief moment of shock, the sky was filled with angry curses.

There was no room for compromise between the Continent's beings and the Extraterrestrial Fiends; they were mortal enemies!

No one could have imagined that Su Changqing, who enjoyed such high prestige on the Continent, was also a Fiend!

Regardless of what Su Changqing had done in the past, no matter how much he had helped the Human Race and the Beast Clan, the moment his Fiend identity was exposed, gratitude turned into an unending desire to kill!

Of course, there were still many cultivators who spoke up for Su Changqing.

After all, everything he was doing now was to help the Continent's beings.

But these voices were quickly drowned out by the angry curses of the others.

Speaking up for a Fiend? Are you on their side?

Even without other reasons, just this accusation was enough to silence most of those who wanted to defend Su Changqing!

However, did many of the Continent's cultivators truly not know that Su Changqing was fighting for the Human Race?

Of course, they knew!

But Su Changqing's talent was too terrifying.

His brilliance made all the World's Heavenly Prides pale in comparison.

Being in the same generation as such a prodigy was both a blessing and a curse.

If there were no unexpected events, they would bury their jealousy and resentment deep in their hearts and stand by Su Changqing, cheering for him.

They knew that no matter how hard they tried, they could never catch up to him.

All they could do was be supporting roles, highlighting his strength and brilliance.

However.

When the altar in the hearts of ordinary people crumbled, and the deity who sat on the cloud fell,

none of those who revered the deity would reach out to help.

Instead, they would step on the fallen deity, ensuring that he was mired in the mud, unable to wash away the dirt for the rest of his life!

When the wall falls, everyone pushes.

This was both an act of following the trend and a manifestation of the darkness in human hearts.

At this moment, whether Su Changqing was a Fiend or not was no longer important.

What mattered was that the Heavenly Prides had finally found a reason to pull him down from his pedestal.

They would not allow anyone to clear his name.

Darkness was darkness, even if it was a flame of hope burning in the darkness, ready to help them.

But they would still feel that the flame was too bright, fearing it might burn them.

...

The angry curses pierced the clouds.

Su Changqing's name once again echoed across the Cangyan Continent.

But this time, it was a thousand pointing fingers, and all beings hated him.

At this moment, all of Su Changqing's friends and family were pale and disbelieving.

"Changqing... has fallen to darkness?"

In the Forbidden Zone, Su Nan, who had always been fearless and unrestrained, seemed to have aged many years in an instant.

He stared blankly at the sky, his long-held beliefs slowly crumbling.

"How can Changqing be an Extraterrestrial Fiend!"

In the Su Family, Su Zi'an was like a madman, his eyes bloodshot from the curses he heard in the city.

"Kill! Those who spread rumors!"

The Su Family was silent, but a few elders from Qing Shan Village, their faces filled with boundless killing intent, walked out with divine weapons in hand.

That day, the streets of the Su Family City ran red with blood.

"Child."

In the backyard of the Su Family, Shu Ye looked up at the young man who stood tall in the sky, fighting for the World.

Hearing the curses and insults from all over the World, her eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her face as she sobbed,

"Foolish child."

"Are these people worth your life?"

Shu Ye knew that if Changqing did not want to, no one in the world could know the darkness he harbored within.

For the sake of the Continent's fortune and to protect the countless lives that had nothing to do with him, Shu Ye did not hesitate to expose his identity as the enemy of the world and stepped onto the Dark Altar.

But what has he received in return?

Verbal abuse, hatred, curses, and being universally reviled.

Thinking back to the sunny, cheerful boy with a radiant smile in Qing Shan Village, Shu Ye's tears fell like rain.

She could not imagine how much injustice that kind-hearted youth must be feeling now.

"If only I had known..."

Shu Ye covered her face and sobbed, her heart aching with regret.

"I should have taught you to be more selfish."

...

The world's curses were many.

But there were still a few who were fighting for justice.

Wu Yong, Niuniu, Shu Han, Xian Banmeng, and even the opposing Little Peng King.

Some feared the heat of the light in the darkness, but it still warmed a few hearts.

Su Changqing's journey had led him to form deep bonds with many people, and none of them could believe that the gentle youth could be the accursed Fiend.

At the peak of a towering mountain in Daoism, the long-secluded Xuan Qingzi lifted his head to gaze at the sky for a long time.

His eyes held confusion, doubt, and anger at the curses he heard.

"Changqing, a Fiend?"

"The biggest joke of all time!"

Xuan Qingzi's calm expression briefly flashed with anger.

He took out a few shimmering star coins, drew a talisman in the air, and tried to divine the celestial secrets to understand what was happening.

However, when everything was ready, he found that the star coins in his hand would not be thrown.

"Is it the Heavenly Dao, the Fiend, or some other special force preventing this?"

Xuan Qingzi's face changed dramatically.

The divination had not even begun, but it was already being obstructed by multiple forces.

This could only mean one thing.

Su Changqing's future had changed from today onward.

This day was of utmost importance to Su Changqing, the Continent, and even the Extraterrestrial Fiend!

It was a turning point in fate!

"Is Changqing a pawn in someone else's game, or is he a player in his own reincarnation?"

Xuan Qingzi's expression shifted, and the star coins in his hand glowed.

After a long moment, he gritted his teeth, and a profound starry sky divine output appeared behind him.

The countless stars within the sky shimmered and shifted positions.

The immense resistance appeared again, but this time, Xuan Qingzi roared,

"Divine Divination!"

The stars behind him surged, and the star abyss divination's form burst into brilliant light.

Xuan Qingzi was willing to expend his lifespan to uncover Changqing's future!

Boom!

Seven star coins, heavy as mountains, were thrown by Xuan Qingzi.

The divine talisman in the void flashed with light, and countless star beams intertwined, painting a glimpse of the future.

But as that fleeting image flashed by, Xuan Qingzi's face turned deathly pale.

"Annihilation looms, the Continent will fall, and the Fiend will be destroyed."

"In this glorious era, there are no winners."

Just a glimpse was enough to make Xuan Qingzi spit out a mouthful of blood and collapse.

As he fell, he still heard the curses ringing in his ears, and a deep sorrow welled up within him.

"Enough, these people are not worth saving."

...

At the peak of the Dark Altar, Amir laughed mockingly at the world's curses.

He looked with pity at the silent youth stepping onto the Dark Altar.

"Su Changqing, look."

"These are the people you want to save, the world order you wish to protect."

"A group of hypocrites with darker hearts than the Fiend's desires."

Amir's voice was full of temptation.

"Come, Su Changqing, join me in the Dark Forbidden Zone, will you?"

"We are all creatures of darkness. There, there are no hypocritical scoundrels, only the most wicked of Fiends!"

"With your talent and strength, you will be greatly respected!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Changqing had not yet responded, but the Continent side was already in a panic.

The Dark Forbidden Zone already had an absolute advantage.

If Su Changqing joined the darkness, the Continent would have no chance of victory.

"Su Changqing!"

Zhao Batian shouted with a show of bravado:

"Come help us in the Martial Path quickly!"

"Once the Continent gets through this, if you sincerely repent, you might be forgiven a little!"

"If you join the Forbidden Zone completely, there will be no way back!"

The others also felt fear and stopped their curses, trying to persuade him.

Chu Xi, Ye Xiaoyi, and Ling Si were nearly fuming with anger.

They were the ones who had been cursing, and they were the ones who had offered to help!

"Wanting to save face while being a hypocrite?"

Ye Xiaoyi pointed at Zhao Batian's nose and shouted,

"You damn bastard, aren't you so capable? Aren't you the top Martial Heavenly Pride?"

"You won't step down to help the martial path, but you expect others to help you?"

Chu Xi, standing nearby, held back no punches.

She glared at all those on the Dao Platform who had once cursed, and she berated them without mercy,

"A bunch of shameless scoundrels!"

"Changqing said the Forbidden Zone would send people, and you didn't believe him."

"Changqing made up for your mistakes and fought against the darkness, and you didn't show any gratitude."

"Finally, Changqing tried to counterattack the darkness and save you, and you turn around and bite the hand that feeds you?"

Chu Xi's chest heaved with anger, "A bunch of ungrateful wolves!"

"Have you even used your pig brains to think?"

"If Changqing were truly an Extraterrestrial Fiend, why would he help you!"

Ling Si, a practitioner of Confucianism, couldn't bring himself to curse, and he was shaking with rage.

Many of those present blushed with shame, but more were seething with anger.

"He's a Fiend! Who knows what his intentions are."

"That's right, what if he has a grand plan and needs to save us?"

"Exactly! It must be that, we just don't know it yet."

Those who shouted their accusations seemed to have found a perfect excuse.

They spoke with increasing confidence.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoyi, Chu Xi, and Ling Si felt like they could kill someone, and they immediately erupted in curses.

...

At the foot of the Dark Altar.

Su Changqing listened to the curses in his ears, even though his body was filled with destruction and his desires were icy cold, his expression couldn't help but show a hint of melancholy.

"Did I lose the bet?"

Before making this decision, he had struggled.

He had even asked others if the grace of the Dao could outweigh people's prejudices?

The answer he received was affirmative, which gave him enough confidence.

He believed that even with his unique constitution, the beings of the Continent would understand.

He bet his future on the goodness in people's hearts.

But clearly, he had lost, losing everything.

"If I had to make this choice again, would I still do it?"

Su Changqing asked himself, but after a moment, he let out a bitter laugh.

He knew himself well.

Even if he had to make this choice a hundred or a thousand times, he would still make the same decision.

The teachings of the elders of Qing Shan Village and the guidance of Qingchen Li could not make him do anything that went against his conscience.

But that was in the past.

After seeing the ugliness in people's hearts, Su Changqing's twenty years of beliefs began to change.

"Turns out, goodness is just a shackle that binds oneself."

Su Changqing looked at his palm, a faint smile on his face, but the light in his eyes grew colder,

"There is no right or wrong, no black or white in this world."

"If my teacher is a Fiend, but he helps me, then it is right."

"If all the world's sages want to kill me, then it is wrong."

He slowly raised his head, and the darkness around him surged like a tidal wave, as he whispered softly,

"Turns out, all the right and wrong, black and white in this world, must be judged by oneself."

"From today on, I don't need to be accountable to anyone."

"As long as my conscience is clear, no one is beyond killing, nothing is beyond destroying!"

Boom!

No one knew what Su Changqing had gone through in his mind.

But they could see it.

The reckless smile on Su Changqing's face, and the overwhelming darkness and destruction.

The beings of the Continent might not yet realize it.

But Su Changqing's transformation today meant that they had pushed away their only hope with their own hands.

"Su Changqing, have you thought it through?"

"Are you willing to join the Dark Forbidden Zone?"

Noticing the fluctuations around Su Changqing, Amir narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Ha, join the Dark Forbidden Zone?"

Su Changqing's white hair danced, and he laughed coldly, "You are not worthy of it."

"Do you still want to fight against me for those foolish people?"

Amir sneered, asking.

"If the Dark Forbidden Zone has the ability, kill me if you can. What does it have to do with me?"

Su Changqing's calm response sent shockwaves through the World cultivators.

Only now did many realize that without Su Changqing, the beings of the Continent had no confidence in facing the Forbidden Zone's attacks.

"You can take the Dao Platform, but I will take the Dark Altar."

Su Changqing spoke with a cold, indifferent tone and strode toward the summit of the Dao Platform.

The other Dao Platforms were of no use to him, as the Heavenly Dao would not permit someone who had been cast aside to ascend again.

But this Dark Altar had no such restrictions.

Any dark entity, whoever was the strongest, could claim it!

Previously, Su Changqing had climbed the Dark Altar to Encircle Wei to Save Zhao, to rescue the other Dao Platforms from peril.

But now, his thoughts had changed.

He owed no one anything, and the only thing that attracted him to this Dark Altar now was the immense fortune it gathered!

"Arrogant!"

"Do you think you can reach the peak by yourself?"

Amir laughed in anger and shouted, "Kill him!"

His words were followed by a horde of Restricted Zone Beasts surging forward.

This Dark Altar was the foundation of the Fiends, and they could not allow anyone to seize it.

At this moment, the Restricted Zone Beasts gathered on the Dark Altar were far more formidable than those on any other Dao Platform!

"Die!"

A sinister laugh echoed, and a barrage of divine arts swept over, followed by a dense crowd of Fiendish figures.

The terrifying aura was enough to annihilate any divine being in the world.

But Su Changqing seemed oblivious to the impending danger.

He continued to walk forward calmly, his expression indifferent, and spoke softly.

"Stop."

The completely blackened Chaos Pearl emitted a brilliant light, and the space within a hundred feet instantly froze.

At the same time, a mysterious and vast wave of energy spread out.

Not only did the space in this world change, but time itself came to a complete halt!

Looking around at this moment,

The countless Restricted Zone Beasts were like a highly realistic painting, frozen in place.

Some wore sinister grins, some roared in anger, and some raised their weapons.

The various secret techniques floating above Tianling were also paused, like embellishments on a painting.

Su Changqing walked slowly over the heads of the frozen crowd.

As he passed, the vivid scenes quietly dissipated into the wind.

This shocking sight left the entire world speechless.

"The power of time!"

Amir, who had been so confident, suddenly showed an endless fear on his face.

"How is this possible? How can time be controlled by anyone?"

"It's impossible! The Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow anyone to control such a heaven-defying Law!"

Among all the laws and phenomena in the world, apart from the elusive fate, time was almost invincible.

Amir was indeed confident, but that confidence crumbled the moment he faced the flow of time!

At this moment, not just Amir, but even the Chaos Lords in the Forbidden Zone and the many powerful beings in the sky, all showed shock and awe.

No one had expected that Su Changqing would have such a terrifying trump card!

The Restricted Zone Beasts were many and strong.

But in the face of time, they dissipated with a single touch!

"Come back! All of you, come back! Stop him, stop him!"

Amir's terrified shout echoed, and a batch of Restricted Zone Beasts was recalled.

In truth, the best choice for the Forbidden Zone now would be to ignore Su Changqing and directly seize the other Dao Platforms on the Continent.

This way, even if Su Changqing reached the summit of the Dark Altar, they wouldn't be at a loss.

But Amir, driven by desire, was unwilling to give up the supreme creation hidden within the Dao Platforms.

Fiends were a group of selfish and cowardly rats.

They would never give up their own interests to help others.

At this moment, a large number of Fiends returned and blocked Su Changqing's path.

But in the face of the power of time and destruction, numbers were no longer a decisive factor.

Su Changqing's pace did not change; he continued to walk slowly and steadily.

Wherever he passed, time paused, space split, and all things were annihilated.

The Fiends were not fools.

Knowing they would surely die, who would dare step forward?

As Su Changqing took another step forward, the Fiends retreated a fraction.

The scene of one person blocking the Dark Altar and striking fear into their hearts left everyone in the world speechless.

Some people, at this moment, felt a sudden wave of regret and whispered softly.

"Is this prodigy no longer part of the Continent?"
