In the Wildlands, the void shattered, the lands cracked, the mountains collapsed, and the plains caved in. The feeling of doomsday filled the hearts of all living beings.
Countless cities trembled, and countless sects were shaken. All of the living beings in heaven and earth could sense the aura of doomsday!
Whether it was the cultivators of the Wildlands or the lands of Heavenspan, all of them could clearly sense … that heaven and earth were dying, that the world was about to be destroyed ….
Apparently, even if no one intervened, it wouldn't be long before the world … collapsed into pieces!
None of this was happening because of Bai Xiaochun, nor was it because of Daoist Heavenspan. It was because of the death of the gravekeeper, the Hell-Emperor.
He had fought with Daoist Heavenspan for most of his life. Just before his longevity came to an end, the Hell-Emperor had succeeded in his plot against Daoist Heavenspan. By sacrificing Daoist Heavenspan's daughter, Bai Xiaochun had reached the level of a quasi-celestial.
Of course, Bai Xiaochun didn't feel any joy at all. He hated Daoist Heavenspan for killing his apprentice, as well as his beloved. He hated the fact that the Hell-Emperor had schemed against him from the very beginning. Although Bai Xiaochun had always been aware that he was a pawn, he had never imagined that so many people would be sacrificed for the sake of that pawn.
What he hated the most was himself. He hated the fact that, back when he had encountered Daoist Heavenspan, he hadn't acted decisively and crushed the jade. Because of that, he had lost the initiative. By the time he had regained his senses and crushed the jade, all of his disciples and beautiful women were dead.
That hatred transformed into a murderous aura that couldn't be dispelled in the slightest. Because of that, his desire to kill Daoist Heavenspan grew even more intense.
Bai Xiaochun roared, his eyes bloodshot. Never before in his life had he felt such intense hatred toward someone. He had even forgotten his fear of death, and had even forgotten his desire to live forever. His mind was filled with boundless killing intent.
"Daoist Heavenspan!!" It was as if he had just walked out of the jaws of death. Howling with rage, he shot toward the Heavenspan Daoist.
Although he had gone mad, he still had reason. He knew that celestials were powerful, and that even though he had reached the great circle of the Undying Live Forever Technique, and was now a quasi-celestial, he was still only qualified to fight Daoist Heavenspan to the death.
Daoist Heavenspan had been stuck at the peak of the Quasi-celestial Master level for thousands of years. Although he was not a Celestial Master, his battle prowess was no weaker than an ordinary Celestial Master. This was also the reason why the Emperor of the Underworld, who controlled the Nether River in this world, was unable to kill Daoist Heavenspan even though he could wield the strength of a Celestial Master.
However, his killing intent didn't lessen at all. After all, he still had a trump card!!
The world treasure buried in the northern lands of Heavenspan was his trump card!
The five new divine abilities he had awakened after mastering the Immortality Codex were also his trump cards!
The Outer Realm Sunflower he had planted in the icy plains of the north many years ago was also his trump card!
Of course, that was only the basis for his confidence in being able to defeat Daoist Heavenspan. The trump card he was truly confident in being able to kill Daoist Heavenspan was … a piece of jade that glowed with a green light.
Rubbing the jade in his hand, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Finally, he made up his mind and clenched his hand into a fist!
"I don't care what you're planning, or what you're plotting. As long as you can kill Daoist Heavenspan, I don't care if you take my life!"
His disciples were dead, his beautiful women were dead, and the gravekeeper was dead. Even his world was on the verge of collapse. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before it was completely destroyed, and nothing would remain of it.
Bai Xiaochun was fearless, and didn't care at all what Cheng Hao was plotting against him. All he wanted was for Cheng Hao to come and help him … kill!!!
Crack! The jade shattered, and the green light faded away. Cheng Hao didn't come as Bai Xiaochun had expected. Everything was the same as it had been before. The lands were crumbling, and the air was collapsing. The world was slowly moving toward death.
"He didn't come?"
Bai Xiaochun was a bit taken aback, but wasn't very nervous. As far as he was concerned, the Wildlands and the lands of Heavenspan were millions upon millions of kilometers apart. Even if Haotian had torn through space to get here, it would have taken him at least a few breaths of time to come out of secluded meditation.
However, after Bai Xiaochun slowed down and waited for Cheng Hao for the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, his anger flared. Once again, he was convinced that he had been played for a fool. After all, Senior Haotian, whom he had placed all of his hopes on, hadn't come as he had claimed … by crushing the jade, he would come!
"Senior Haotian … you tricked me!!!"
"You went back on your word! You didn't keep your word!"
Bai Xiaochun was completely enraged. As he sped toward Heavenspan Island, he threw his head back and howled in rage. The terrifying sound of his voice echoed out to fill heaven and earth, to the point where all of the living beings on the Wildlands and Heavenspan lands could hear him clearly.
High up in the sky, Cheng Hao's figure was hidden in layers of space. Separated by an alternate space, he was quietly watching the world that was being destroyed below.
After Bai Xiaochun crushed the jade, he didn't show himself.
He was waiting for the world to be almost completely destroyed, and for the world essence seed to be ready for him to take. Then he would show himself, and at the same time, kill the Celestial, and resolve the Karma between him and Bai Xiaochun.
After that, he would simply pat his ass and leave, returning to his own world. That would be the perfect thing to do!
However, when he saw that Bai Xiaochun had gone mad because he hadn't arrived, Cheng Hao couldn't help but feel bad. Although he had never experienced the pain of being deceived by someone he trusted, he could imagine it. It was something that Cheng Hao didn't want to experience for the rest of his life.
"Ai!"
Cheng Hao sighed. In the end, he was unable to maintain absolute rationality. Although he knew that it would be more beneficial for him to watch the show as a bystander, he still couldn't help but tear through layers of space and rush in Bai Xiaochun's direction.
"I'm just too soft-hearted. I can ignore people I don't know, but I can't just stand by and watch from the sidelines. I really don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing!"
Sighing again, Cheng Hao tore through the last of the spatial barriers. As soon as Bai Xiaochun stepped onto Heavenspan Island, a huge vortex appeared, from within which emerged a black-robed, long-haired mortal.
