Chapter 303: The Monster! Su Changqing's Tribulation!
Chapter 303: The Monster! Su Changqing's Tribulation!
A figure racing from the distant horizon was shrouded in a dense, dark mist, making it impossible to discern clearly.
Even a divine consciousness at the Near-Imperial level couldn't penetrate the black fog to see the person's true form.
However, Su Changqing immediately recognized the identity of the newcomer.
It was none other than Qingchen Li, who had gone to Yuzhi alone!
"Teacher!"
Feeling the dark aura surrounding Qingchen Li, a look of sorrow appeared in Su Changqing's eyes.
Although he had expected it, seeing his teacher succumb to darkness still caused him great pain.
The once gentle and composed Ruxian Immortal was no more.
At this moment, two others also recognized the Ruxian Immortal.
Su Nan and Bo Gu.
Back in the Blood Carnage Forbidden Zone, they had witnessed Qingchen Li's departure to Yuzhi.
Despite the drastic change in the Ruxian Immortal's aura, they still sensed a familiar presence.
Shu Han, Yin Feng, Wei Cang, and others might have felt the same way.
But none of them could have imagined that the esteemed Ruxian Immortal would turn to darkness.
Because of this, even though they were familiar with Qingchen Li, they hadn't truly recognized him.
"Why has Teacher returned from Yuzhi so suddenly, and in such a panic?"
"And what was the source of the crisis I felt just now?"
Watching the rapidly approaching Qingchen Li, who seemed somewhat panicked, Su Changqing's brows furrowed.
What could have happened to make his teacher so anxious?
Moreover,
The sense of impending danger seemed even stronger now.
Meanwhile, Qingchen Li, who had been rushing back, was drenched in cold sweat.
He kept glancing behind him, his eyes filled with fear.
He had entered Yuzhi through the Blood Carnage Forbidden Zone, arriving in the Fiend camp.
As expected, after five days of fierce battles, he encountered a terrifying Fiend, and his bloodline was infected.
This wasn't something he found hard to accept.
When he entered Yuzhi, he had anticipated this outcome.
During this time, he found the person he had been longing for, Ye Lingxuan.
Ye Lingxuan was receiving a legacy from the Demon God, and her status seemed quite special, even receiving his attention.
However, he never saw Ye Lingxuan in person and instead waited for her to emerge from seclusion in the Fiend camp.
It's worth noting that the Yuzhi Fiends weren't a unified entity but rather a collection of Totem-like tribes that covered all of Yuzhi.
The terror of the Fiends far exceeded anyone's imagination.
During this period, he tried his best to suppress his bloodline transformation, not wanting to lose his humanity.
But in the boundless darkness, even with his efforts, the transformation had reached sixty percent!
This was almost an irreversible state.
Qingchen Li's own thoughts were affected, alternating between brutality and clarity.
As the days passed, with the Wen Tan Sheng Hui approaching, he decided to take a look.
He didn't intend to reveal his true form, only to observe the new 'Ruxian Path' from the shadows.
However, on his way back, he encountered a monster!
It was an existence that shouldn't have been born, far more terrifying than any Fiend!
And this monster's path was the same as his, with a clear target: Su Changqing!
With a flash of thought, Zhongzhou City was in sight.
Seeing the numerous powerful figures in the sky, Qingchen Li was taken aback, unaware of the events at the Imperial Tomb.
But he didn't pay much attention to these things, stepping forward to Su Changqing.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Su Changqing's arm and said urgently:
"Let's go!"
"You have the Sky-obscuring Formation. Find a place to hide, quickly!"
Seeing the anxious Qingchen Li, Su Changqing was taken aback for a moment, then transmitted a message:
"Teacher, don't worry. What exactly happened?"
"Did a powerful figure from Yuzhi arrive, or did something else happen?"
With a smile, he added: "My Peak Near-Imperial realm can still hold for some time."
"There are many seniors here who can help me. It's fine."
Su Changqing wasn't being arrogant; he was stating a fact.
The Continent was filled with powerful figures, none of whom could easily defeat him.
At this point, his strength and influence were at their peak.
Even if a powerful figure from Yuzhi did arrive, he wouldn't necessarily be afraid.
“Useless.”
Qingchen Li shook his head urgently. “That thing isn’t something a living being can defeat. He is—”
Boom!
Before Qingchen Li could finish his sentence, the distant, dim horizon suddenly turned a blood-red color.
A sky dyed with blood began to spread relentlessly.
An overwhelming and intolerable wave of evil swept across the entire world in an instant.
Everyone present, whether from the Human Race, the Beast Clan, or the Forbidden Zone Fiends, instantly changed expressions and turned to look.
The aura that came with it made everyone shiver, a sudden sense of danger arising.
If the Fiends' aura was the embodiment of unrestrained desires,
then the aura emanating now was pure evil, a concentrated form that made all living beings feel uneasy, a natural enemy!
As the aura spread, a figure clad in a large blood-red robe, with crimson hair flowing, began to step through the air, approaching.
At the sight of this figure, countless people drew a sharp breath.
It wasn’t a Fiend, nor was it a known living being.
His body was shrouded in deep, dark shadows, with crimson lines like red threads crisscrossing his dark form.
Most terrifying were his eyes.
They were evil, causing physiological discomfort and an overwhelming urge to flee just by looking at them.
“Found you, hahaha, found you!”
“Su Changqing, I finally found you!”
The crimson-haired ‘monster’ let out a chilling, sinister laugh, his eyes fixed on Su Changqing in the distance, as if not noticing the many powerful beings around him.
Deep in his eyes, endless brutality, killing intent, and venomous hatred churned, all evil thoughts.
“Too late, He’s here.”
Seeing the newcomer, Qingchen Li’s body tensed, and he let out a bitter laugh.
Beside him, Su Changqing, looking at the familiar yet strange figure in the distance, drew a sharp breath.
“That’s... the Heavenly Blight?”
Su Changqing’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that the Heavenly Blight he had banished would return one day.
Even more surprisingly, the Heavenly Blight had developed its own consciousness!
“Damn!”
Even with Su Changqing’s usually calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath, cold sweat instantly drenching his back.
Having read the Tianyi Strange Scroll, he was well aware of just how terrifying the Heavenly Blight could be.
Even without consciousness, the Heavenly Blight had caused the Sacred Spirit Azure Lotus Bud immense suffering, leaving the four Ancestral Spirits at a loss.
Now that the Heavenly Blight had developed consciousness, how terrifying would it be?
At this moment, Qingzhu and Man Shi, the two in the sky, also recognized the newcomer.
In an instant, their body hairs stood on end, and their faces showed fear.
“The Heavenly Blight!”
“He actually developed consciousness!”
As spirit entities, the Heavenly Blight was their natural enemy.
As Ancestral Spirits, they were indeed powerful.
But facing the approaching Heavenly Blight, they lacked the courage to resist, trembling all over.
That fear was like a mouse facing a cat, a suppression from the depths of their bloodline.
“What is this Heavenly Blight?”
Seeing even the powerful Ancestral Spirits so terrified, Zhao Shanke couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
“The Heavenly Blight...”
Kasyapa’s gaze was heavy as he looked at the newcomer and said:
“The most venomous, evil, wicked, ominous, and yin entity in the world.”
“It can strip away one’s spirit and destroy the body, devouring all life in the world.”
“Nothing can destroy it!”
This brief introduction made all the powerful beings present feel their scalps tingle.
Just hearing about it made them feel an overwhelming evil presence.
“Nothing can destroy it?”
Zhao Shanke looked at the Heavenly Blight in disbelief. “So, is it invincible?”
Kasyapa frowned, seemingly puzzled. “This entity differs from the records.”
“Logically, the Heavenly Blight should only have instincts, not consciousness.”
“The Heavenly Blight developing consciousness... the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t allow it.”
“But this...”
Looking at the monster with a dark base and crimson lines, Kasyapa was also at a loss.
He couldn’t imagine what kind of experience had transformed the Heavenly Blight into such a monster.
“What... happened to this thing?”
Su Nan, at this moment, paid no attention to Ximen Xiu and the others.
He immediately approached Qingchen Li, his gaze heavy as he looked at the approaching Heavenly Blight.
Even someone as strong as him found the current Heavenly Blight a formidable opponent.
“Do you remember the Southern Mountain Lord?”
Qingchen Li explained with a bitter smile. “To stop the Southern Mountain Lord, Changqing summoned a Heavenly Blight.”
“The Heavenly Blight can devour everything in the world, nothing can harm it, and it swiftly injured the Southern Mountain Lord.”
“But...”
Qingchen Li paused, then sighed. “As a Near-Imperial level entity, the Southern Mountain Lord’s essence is undying and unextinguishable darkness!”
“One is invulnerable, the other is undying. They would have been locked in an endless cycle.”
“But as the Southern Mountain Lord went to Yuzhi, devouring endless darkness, this thing... transformed!”
Su Changqing and Su Nan, listening to this, felt their scalps tingle.
The entity that appeared now was neither the Southern Mountain Lord nor the original Heavenly Blight.
Instead, it is the amalgamation of the utmost evil and the darkness of desire.
The Heavenly Blight has already consumed the 'will to live' of the Southern Mountain Lord.
The indomitable fiendish will and the invincible Heavenly Blight, in their endless cycle of devouring and destroying each other, have given birth to a terrifying 'spirit'!
This 'spirit' is the perfect fusion of ultimate evil and boundless desire.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Blight is invincible, and the Fiend is immortal.
The 'monster' before them is almost an unsolvable terror.
"Would the Heavenly Dao allow such an 'evil presence' to enter the Continent?"
Wu Jiuling also came to the side, unable to help but ask in shock.
The Cangyan Continent has the Heavenly Dao, which does not permit pure Fiends to enter.
It is precisely because of this that the Continent has a chance to resist the Fiends.
Logically, this 'evil presence,' which should not exist, is far more terrifying than a simple Fiend.
The Heavenly Dao should have intervened.
"The Heavenly Blight was nurtured by the Heavenly Dao, so it naturally does not trigger the rules set by the Heavenly Dao."
Su Nan glanced at the sky, his brows furrowed as he said, "At this point, even the Heavenly Dao is likely helpless against this thing."
The others present felt a chill at his words.
Invincible, immortal, and beyond the control of the Heavenly Dao.
The current Heavenly Blight is a variable that has transcended the three realms and the five elements.
"Why does this 'evil presence' have such great malice toward Changqing?"
Xuanyan, looking at the Heavenly Blight's hate-filled gaze from afar, frowned and said, "There are Humans, Beast Clan members, and Fiends present. Why does it focus solely on Changqing?"
Su Changqing sighed and replied with a bitter smile, "Because it is essentially my creation."
Xuanyan, Xuan Yi, Wu Jiuling, and the other powerful figures present all had their lips twitch as they looked at Su Changqing.
"Back then, I used the method of sealing the heavens to extract the Heavenly Blight from the lotus ancestor."
"Although the Heavenly Blight only has instincts, it also bears my aura."
"His 'evil' toward the lotus ancestor naturally transferred to me."
Su Changqing sighed again, "In the Forbidden Zone of the Southern Mountain, the Southern Mountain Lord was on the verge of victory, but my summoning of the Heavenly Blight led to his downfall."
"Moreover, the Heavenly Blight can devour everything, while the dark essence is immortal."
"Their constant cycle of birth and death is like being in the Netherworld, a torment beyond bearing."
"Clearly, the Southern Mountain Lord's hatred for me is etched into his bones."
Pausing, Su Changqing looked at the Heavenly Blight now hovering above Zhongzhou.
"With the constant cycle of birth and death, the Southern Mountain Lord's intellect has collapsed, leaving only the pure dark essence."
"But what remains is also his boundless hatred for me."
"The Heavenly Blight's 'evil' and the Southern Mountain Lord's lingering 'hatred'."
"These two have combined, just like the Heavenly Blight and the Southern Mountain Lord, ultimately becoming an obsession!"
"And on the day it gains intelligence, that obsession etched into its soul will drive it to do whatever it takes to"
"Kill me, its creator!"
As his thoughts cleared, Su Changqing felt a chill run through his body.
He looked at the Heavenly Blight now above the city, murmuring,
"He is my calamity!"
Su Nan, Wu Jiuling, Xuanyan, Qingchen Li, and the others all turned pale at his words.
Calamity!
And a deadly one at that, one even the Heavenly Dao is powerless against!
"Nine deaths and one life, a great calamity."
Xuan Yi's eyes trembled, "Little Uncle's calculations were correct."
"Changqing's crisis is not from those powerful figures, but from this evil presence!"
Everyone understood now.
There is no room for compromise between the Heavenly Blight and Su Changqing.
The 'evil' and 'hatred' etched into the soul of this 'monster' make its sole purpose in life to kill its creator, Su Changqing!
"Ha ha ha, Su Changqing, it's been a long time!"
The crimson light bathed the sky and earth, the Heavenly Blight's red hair dancing as it sneered.
The Imperial Killing Array that enveloped the entire Zhongzhou City posed no obstacle to it.
With just a gesture, crimson threads obscured the sky, instantly draining all energy and matter.
The overwhelming killing intent from the Imperial Killing Array failed to even damage its robe.
Boom!
In an instant, the Imperial Killing Array shattered, and the crimson figure approached step by step through the air.
The terrifying pressure made the heavens and earth silent, and the powerful figures present turned pale.
"Should I call you Heavenly Blight or Southern Mountain Lord?"
Su Changqing looked straight at the crimson figure, his eyes filled with solemnity.
Beside him, Su Nan, Xuanyan, and the others were on high alert, their expressions grave.
"Me?"
The figure laughed, a tidal wave of crimson evil rising,
"Let me introduce myself. My name is"
"Heavenly Ruin!"
