Before fusing with the Underworld Dao, Chen Qing had only cultivated one Dao!
That Dao was not the Underworld Dao.
In truth, after betraying the Underworld Sect, he had abandoned his Underworld Dao, and hadn't cultivated it again for many years. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, his Dao … had been the Dao of the Sword!
Everything about him rested on the wooden sword in his hand. He had pursued this sword for his entire life, and walked only one Dao.
Therefore, even after fusing with the Underworld Dao, he had only borrowed it. The Dao of the Sword was his everything. As for the wooden sword that had accompanied him for so long, it was made of ordinary materials.
More accurately, it was a wooden tablet, a memorial tablet.
In his life, he had only seen a soul. He had personally painted the face of his destined wife. This was her memorial tablet. It didn't matter if the soul's appearance had been a conspiracy or an accident. It didn't matter. In the end … the soul that had been destined to be his wife in the future, had vanished into thin air.
Although this wasn't the only reason he had betrayed the Underworld Sect, the soul had been a catalyst. It had been buried deep in his heart, and hadn't vanished for many years. Therefore, after betraying the Underworld Sect, he had gone to the Never-Ending Clan and stood in front of the memorial tablet where the soul had been. After a long moment of silence, he had taken it away.
From that moment on, he had a wooden sword by his side.
It had accompanied him to this day. As he stared at it, he couldn't tell what Dao he cultivated. Perhaps it really was the Dao of the Sword. Because of the wooden sword, he had gained enlightenment of three realms.
The first realm was the Wooden Sword Body. It could fight against tens of thousands of people, and was invincible.
The second realm was the Soul Transformation. Its power increased severalfold, and it could ignore all Daos and slay everything.
As for the third realm, or rather, the third form, Chen Qing had only seen it in his mind. He had never displayed it in the world.
He called the third form … Memories.
Although the name was a memory, it had nothing to do with time. In fact, it had nothing to do with time. That was because the third form … had never been displayed, but every time it appeared in his mind, his desire to kill had risen to an indescribable level.
Therefore, it should be the Dao of Killing.
Chen Qing murmured as he looked at the wooden sword in front of him. Layers upon layers of wooden skin appeared on the surface of the sword, and in the end, a killing intent that caused the entire starry sky to tremble. Even Weiyang Zi's face flickered with shock as the sword exploded out with a towering killing intent.
This killing move could shake the entire area.
This killing move could shake the stars.
This killing move could make the universe blur!
"All my life, all my memories … are of killing." He didn't look at Weiyang Zi. Instead, he stared at the wooden sword. He raised his hand and gently gripped it. He took a step forward and casually swung the sword. A beam of sword light appeared, causing the starry sky to darken. Only the light of the sword shone.
Weiyang Zi, whose expression had already changed and was crying out involuntarily, suddenly landed.
"What … is this Dao? Swordsmanship? No! Killing Dao? Not really! " Wei Yangzi's mind trembled. This was the first time since he started fighting Chen Qing that he felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
It didn't matter that his second head was filled with monstrous Devil qi, or that his cultivation base and battle prowess were far more powerful than before. However, as of this moment, the first thing he did was fall back.
Ignoring Wei Yangzi's retreat and evasion, Chen Qing continued to murmur, "Before I joined the Underworld Sect, my parents died in the chaos of war. After that, I joined the sect to learn the art of killing …." His voice was low, and seemed to resonate with a great Dao. As it echoed out, even the Underworld Sect's Heaven-Dao black fish and the Never-Ending Heaven-Dao golden beetle began to tremble, and their faces filled with terror.
An indescribable sense of danger filled them, and they couldn't help but tremble inwardly.
"After I finished learning the art, I began to kill!
"I slaughtered an entire battalion, an entire army, and an entire nation. Then I'll be buried with my parents." Chen Qing's voice was low and slow, but each and every word he spoke was filled with incredible pressure. The Dao of Heaven retreated, and Never-Ending Zi continued to evade. However, in the end, Never-Ending Zi couldn't avoid the attack completely. As soon as Chen Qing finished speaking, he took a third step, and a beam of sword qi slammed into him.
A boom rang out, and under the intense sensation of deadly crisis, Wei Yangzi raised his right hand. His arm instantly turned into mist, and the will of the transformations of clouds and mist spread out. However, before the Dao within his arm could be fully displayed, the Sword Qi arrived. In the blink of an eye, Wei Yangzi's right arm exploded.
Waves of intense pain caused Wei Yangzi's face to flicker. Although a new arm grew out as the tempest spread out, the sense of deadly crisis still caused him to fall back once again.
"After that, I met my esteemed master, and was enlightened by him. I put down my blade of slaughter and joined the Underworld Sect ….
"In the Underworld Sect, I ferried the souls of the dead. It seemed pure and kind, as if I was following the Heaven-Dao's cycle of reincarnation. But in reality … I was still killing. The only difference was that this time, I was killing souls!" Chen Qing smiled, but it was a smile without the slightest hint of emotion. As he spoke, the killing intent emanating from the wooden sword in his hand chilled the starry sky. The sword swept out, and Wei Yangzi let out a shrill cry. His newly grown arm of wind was destroyed once again!
"What kind of Dao is this?!?!" Wei Yangzi's scalp went numb. He could tell that Chen Qing was in a very strange state. He seemed to be here, but in reality, he wasn't. Wei Yangzi's divine abilities were unable to affect him. And yet, every sword strike from Chen Qing brought indescribable danger to him.
"I was sick of it. The disappearance of my wife in my next life made me want to turn my life upside down. So, I betrayed the Underworld Sect. In that battle, I was still killing. I killed my former fellow disciples of the Underworld Sect, and I killed the invading Never-Ending Clan cultivators ….
"At first, I thought that once the battle was over, I wouldn't have to kill anymore. Who would have thought … that in the Never-Ending Clan's universe, I would have memories? Memories of the Underworld Sect. Memories of my junior brother. Memories of my master ….
"Memories are like poison, like venomous insects. They devour my everything. The only way to resolve them … is to kill!" Chen Qing's expression was calm, but his words caused the hearts of all who heard them to tremble. Wave after wave of Sword Qi exploded out of him.
In this moment of crisis, Wei Yangzi performed a double-handed incantation gesture. Right now, his hands were the last of his six arms. One of them was filled with lightning, and the other was like a black hole, filled with the will to devour.
As he performed the incantation gesture, lightning exploded and devoured everything in its path. Demonic qi transformed into a demonic shadow that looked like a Devil God descending from the heavens. It appeared behind Wei Yangzi, intent on suppressing everything in its path.
Rumbling filled the air as the sword qi arrived. The demonic shadow trembled, and each beam of sword qi tore it to shreds. Wei Yangzi himself was shoved backward, a look of madness in his eyes.
"I've killed tens of thousands of people. I've killed Never-Ending. I've killed Divine Generals. I've killed Divine Emperors!
"I've killed for a hundred years. I've killed for a thousand years. I've killed for tens of thousands of years!
"But why? Why is my heart still being invaded by poison? Why do I still remember …? For the Underworld Sect's Dao of Heaven, I killed tens of thousands of creatures to reach the pinnacle. I killed my Master. And now … I'm going to slaughter my way into the Realm of Life. I'm going to kill everything that stands in my way. I'm going to kill … Emperor Wei Yangzi!" Chen Qing lifted his head abruptly. The killing intent of the wooden sword in his hand had reached an indescribable level. Cracks had even appeared on the sword, as if it was unable to withstand the pressure. Chen Qing lifted his head and swung his sword, causing it to fall with a loud rumble.
A Sword Qi that was even more ferocious than the one before instantly slashed down and landed on Weiyang Zi's Devil Shadow. The Devil Shadow instantly collapsed and shattered into pieces. The Sword Qi flashed past and swept past Weiyang Zi's neck.
In the blink of an eye … Wei Yangzi's demonic head exploded!
The lightning in his left hand collapsed!
The devouring power in his right hand collapsed!
His body … collapsed!
The starry sky was deathly silent. Only Chen Qing could be heard murmuring, his head bowed. "I'm Chen Qing. Do you know what my Dao is?"
The wooden sword in his hand began to shatter, and from a distance, it looked like a lotus flower.
