The sky was a dazzling blue, and the winds howled for thousands of miles, as if lamenting the end of the Child of Destiny.
An eagle's cry tore through the sky. At some point, a male eagle circled in the sunlight.
Chuo Long's heart was dead, and he no longer argued with Qian Rongzhi. That would only make his defeat even more humiliating. His pride did not allow him to do that.
But was this the end?
He could not accept it. He could not accept it no matter what! In terms of true strength, no one here could take a single blow from him. Even if everyone here worked together, they would not be a match for him.
But he had lost, and it was a crushing defeat. It was like a nightmare that he could not wake up from.
Unifying the world and moving unhindered through the Nine Provinces was like a dream.
The hatred brewed from thousands of negative emotions was like a poisonous snake biting at his soul. The one he hated the most was not Li Qingshan, Little Ann, or even Qian Rongzhi, but Su Mi Rao, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
If she had not caused him to suffer qi deviation, he would not have ended up like this. That should have been the peak of his life, but he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, beyond redemption.
From love to hatred — being defeated and killed by the enemy was simply because he was not as skilled. He could calmly accept such an ending, or rather, he had already realized this from the moment he stepped onto the path of cultivation. But he was betrayed by the woman he loved the most, and lost to an opponent weaker than him. He could not accept it no matter what.
His aura was extremely chaotic, and he almost lost control of himself. His qi deviation caused layers of illusions to appear before his eyes. Fragments of the distant past almost reversed his entire life. If he was not the Child of Destiny, he would have exploded and died before anyone could kill him.
The tip of the sword hovered in the air, not falling for a long time.
"Why?" Qian Rongzhi opened her eyes.
"Because you are the Child of Destiny. Killing you will cause a backlash."
Little Ann sheathed the Buddha Slaying Sword. He stated his reason. With a wave of his sleeve, the Forsaken Immortal Sword flew back into his hand. He gently caressed the blade. It had almost been refined by Chuo Long, and even the sword spirit was completely suppressed.
"Is that so?"
Qian Rongzhi muttered to herself, and a will to live suddenly arose in her heart. She strongly suspected that this was due to the influence of the dragon.
But was there any other way out? She was both Qian Rongzhi and Human Emperor Feng Long.
"Little Ann!"
Li Qingshan threw himself at her and held her tightly in his arms. Smelling the faint scent of sandalwood in her hair, he had a surreal feeling of being reborn, as if he had returned to the time when he first came to this world.
"Qingshan." Little Ann smiled faintly, like ripples in a quiet pond.
Li Qingshan calmed down and reprimanded, "Who allowed you to do this!?"
"Anyway, it's not you." Little Ann stuck out his tongue.
Li Qingshan was speechless at first, but then his heart ached. His expression was as if all the injuries on his body were acting up at once.
Suddenly, he felt that Qian Rongzhi or Zhuo Long's gaze was like a venomous snake coiling around him, making him feel uncomfortable. If it were not for the fact that he did not want to bite the hand that fed him, he would be tempted to end it right here and now. However, she believed that Little Ann would definitely have thought things through, so she cast a questioning gaze at him.
Little Ann said, "Qingshan, there's a place I want to go."
"Where to?"
"The Lingguo temple."
… …
The Lingguo temple of the past had now become the largest demon cavern in the nine provinces. Black demon qi surged into the clouds, like a never-ending smoke signal. Dark clouds blanketed the sky and earth. The land within a radius of five hundred kilometers had been polluted, and all living beings had been demonized. It became extraordinarily twisted and violent.
The demon cavern was surprisingly peaceful. Now that the demon caverns of the world were open and unguarded, this was the best situation they had ever encountered since the Demon domain began invading the nine provinces. However, whenever Little Ann opened up a demon cavern, he would go on a killing spree. Even after he opened up the demon cavern, no demonfolk dared to emerge.
Only after a while did they dare to send out scouts. They secretly investigated the situation of the nine provinces, but the Ghost Tower had greatly affected the demonfolk's determination to invade. The Demon domain was vast, but it was still not enough to steal food from the Hungry Ghost realm.
If the herbivores invading the Demon domain could be described as constantly chewing and ruminating. Only then could they digest it. Then the Hungry Ghost realm was a naked carnivore, tearing apart flesh and gulping it down.
Later on, the Hui Dragon descended from the sky along the Heaven-Climbing Vine, causing the situation of the Nine States to become even more complicated and confusing. The terrifying auras that erupted from the battles that surpassed the limits of the third Heavenly Tribulation caused the Demon Kings who were investigating to tremble. They advised the Demon Emperor several times to give up on invading this world.
However, the Demon Emperor remained silent. He had other plans.
When Li Qingshan's group arrived before the demon cavern, the scouting Demon King had fled back into the Demon domain a long time ago.
Gazing at the unfathomable demon cavern, Li Qingshan recalled what Luo Hou Xiaoming had said. He already understood what Little Ann wanted to do.
"Why?" Qian Rongzhi gazed at the Forsaken Immortal sword in her hand and asked again.
Little Ann did not answer this question. All she said was, "Go!"
Qian Rongzhi gazed at her face and turned around to make her way into the demon cavern. Her figure gradually blurred until she arrived at the edge of the demon cavern. She glanced back again before leaping into the demon cavern, vanishing into the surging demon qi.
They constantly fell into the dark abyss. The hearts of all living beings and the will of the heavens were gradually stripped from their bodies. Either he or she was no longer the Child of Destiny of the nine provinces. Even if they wanted to turn back, it was impossible.
Afterwards, the Skull Prayer Beads flew away. In the end, only the Three Burial Robes remained, which gradually peeled off from their bodies.
Just as Li Qingshan's group was about to leave, a hysterical dragon's roar suddenly rang out in the demon cavern. It was not just expressing bone-deep hatred, but also the ecstasy of escaping, or just qi deviation.
Little Ann asked with uncertainty, "Did I do anything wrong?"
Li Qingshan shrugged. "Who cares!"
The nine cauldrons had already shattered. Once they left the nine provinces, the Huo Long would no longer be the Child of Destiny. It was impossible for him to return. He even hoped that the Huo Long could devour Qian Rongzhi and return to him one day.
He exchanged glances with Luo Hou Xiaoming. Their eyes shone with the same light. Even though there was a difference of two major realms of cultivation, the feeling of being smashed to pieces still did not feel too good. If there was an opportunity for revenge, then it would be for the best.
"Who do you think will win?"
"That's hard to say. You've already witnessed the power of the yang soul, and that woman will probably become the Child of Destiny of the Demon domain. The will of the heavens? The will of the heavens? There really is always a way out! "
"Is it really that easy to become the Child of Destiny? Aren't all demonfolk vicious and evil? "
"They're just a bunch of pitiful worms under the control of demon hearts. They'll completely demonify into wild beasts from the slightest carelessness, constantly sucking up to the heavens in hopes of receiving even more charity. They're just 'hypocrites'."
Luo Hou Xiaoming was very disdainful of demonfolk. After all, the Asura realm was a benevolent path among the six realms of saṃsāra. However, probably only the twelve Demon Gods could match up to the evil he had committed.
"Hypocrites!"
This was the first time Li Qingshan had heard of this term, but when he thought about the customs of a place like the Demon domain, he could not help but laugh. Calling people hypocrites in the Demon domain was definitely an insult! He could use it when he arrived in the Demon domain in the future. He still had a wager in the Demon domain!
He had to abide by the ancient, bloody oath and venture into the depths of the evil Demon domain to challenge the undefeatable Demon Gods. Just the thought of it made his blood boil!
At this moment, a charming, unpredictable voice suddenly rang out, "Oh my, I didn't think you'd actually get away with it. Then let me calculate how much time you have left!"
Li Qingshan frowned, "Su Minrao!"
Su Minrao raised her chin and smiled, "If you want to escape from Qiongqi, then kneel and beg me!"
How could she not sense Demon God Qiongqi's arrival in the nine provinces in the past? She had also investigated the contents of the Nether River Blood Oath.
Luo Hou Xiaoming said in surprise, "Demon God Qiongqi?"
Li Qingshan stared at Su Minrao closely as he explained everything to his important ally, Luo Hou Xiaoming.
Luo Hou Xiaoming's eyes widened. He cried out involuntarily, "The Nether River Blood Oath! And a promise of five hundred years? Do you know that five hundred years is a trap? In a world like that, it's impossible for your cultivation to advance. It'll be pointless even if you stay for another five thousand years. "
"And, even if you really do have five hundred years, Qiongqi is a true demon that has undergone seven heavenly tribulations. He's one of the few in the three thousand realms of saṃsāra. You'd better go to the Demon domain to fight Qingqi Mountain. There, even the Zhenwu Demon-rinsing Patriarch of the Desireless Heavenly Palace can't do anything to him! "
Li Qingshan spread his hands, "What can I do? Who asked me to be so charming that Qiongqi wants me to be the second strongest in Qingqi Mountain? If I go to the Demon domain, I might also be the Child of Destiny. I would have already led an army to conquer the nine provinces. Why would I need to fight Chuo Long?"
