“Ancestor.”
In the horizon, the moment the Evil Life Ancestor was erased by the Empress’ divine authority, his sigh echoed in all directions.
Sorrowful cries rang out from the clansmen of the Evil Life Holy Land.
However, at the next instant, an endless sea of fire drowned everything.
The destructive might of the fire covered everything and gathered in the holy mountain, into the stone door of the Corpse Forbidden that had been opened by Evil Life Ancestor before he fled.
The door was closed with fire.
After that, the army of cultivators immediately moved.
It was like a huge hand that descended from the sky, sweeping up the might of the sky and killing intent as it landed on the Evil Life Mountain.
The intent of death enveloped the entire Evil Life race.
At this moment, terror and despair occupied the hearts of every member of the Evil Life Race. Some of them instinctively chose to escape.
Some went crazy.
As for the elders who represented the will of the race after the ancestor died, their eyes almost split open. They flew out separately and called for the entire race to try to resist.
However, at the next instant, a loud bang rang out as the large hand descended.
The mountain shook deafeningly.
The resistance of the evil cultivators instantly collapsed under the huge hand. As they shattered, countless evil cultivators spat out blood. However, there were still figures who instantly flew out and were still struggling.
However, under the aura of the huge hand, everything was destroyed. They fell no matter how they flew out.
The army of cultivators that formed the huge hand flew out like a swarm of bees, pouncing toward the mountain with an overwhelming force.
In an instant, heart-rending sounds, crazed roars, and wails intertwined and echoed in all directions.
The mountain shook even more intensely. Cracks spread out on the surface at every moment and a large number of rocks fell off.
Slaughter erupted in all areas.
The armies from the human race, Fenghai County, Moon Offering, and the Seven Blood Eyes were too many. Even though this holy mountain was huge and vast, it couldn’t accommodate such a large number.
Hence, only a portion of the elite cultivators charged in.
Even so, they still covered the entire mountain.
In just an instant, amidst the intense battle, the corpses of the evil life cultivators were scattered everywhere.
As for the cultivators outside the mountain, they were sealing off the surroundings.
They locked down the heaven and earth, void, laws, and the Forbidden Sea in the range of the Holy Mountain with array formations, causing all the evil life cultivators inside to have no way out.
What awaited the Evil Life race was the inevitable path of extermination.
There was no other choice.
As Xu Qing’s figure spread out with the sounds of slaughter in the holy mountain, the divine authority of sound silently erupted and he appeared in every place where the sounds rose and fell.
Wherever he pa.s.sed, death followed; heads flew, flesh and blood splattered, and killing intent shook the heavens.
He needed to kill.
His experience in the past ten days had caused his nerves to be constantly tense, especially when he was being chased like a stray dog.
The pain caused by his body collapsing time and time again now transformed into monstrous killing intent.
Xu Qing wasn’t someone who liked to suffer losses.
Killing was also the norm in his life.
Originally, the holy land could have lived in harmony with him.
He originally didn’t want to have friction with the holy land so quickly. He was just waiting for the dragon-carriage giant to arrive. However, the greed of the son of the Ruler and the Dao Protectors was too obvious.
Since that was the case… he would just kill.
The wind rose from the surface of the sea, stirring up waves and blowing the seawater on the holy mountain. It gathered with the slaughter here and moved upwards.
At the foot of the mountain, a Nihility cultivator of the Evil Life Race was fighting against Ancestor Xue Lianzi with a crazed expression.
Although Xue Lianzi was old, he was the first batch of people to rush into the holy mountain. He still felt guilty about Xu Qing’s disappearance. At that moment, he went all out.
“Since you dared to touch my grand-disciple, I’ll bury your race with you!”
Xue Lianzi’s heart turned cold as he transformed into countless blood-red threads, wanting to devour and suck dry all the evil life cultivators he saw.
Madness rose in the heart of that evil life cultivator. He knew that the odds were against him today. At that moment, in this bloodbath, he wanted to drag someone down with him. His eyes were red and he performed a series of hand seals with both hands. A majestic aura erupted from his body.
He was about to self-destruct!
However, at the next instant, when the wind blew past, the figure of death was revealed amidst the sound of the wind. It appeared behind him and ruthlessly slashed with the dagger in its hand.
The head flew up!
The spinning world became the last scene this cultivator saw. However, it was a pity that he didn’t see the person who killed him. All he saw was the envelopment of the blood threads formed by Xue Lianzi.
The slaughter continued.
At this moment, if one looked down at the holy land from the sky, they would see that there were increasingly more corpses in the holy land.
Everyone was going mad.
It was the same for Erniu.
He transformed into countless blue worms that emitted frost. Wherever they pa.s.sed, everything would be frozen.
There was a cold smile on his face, accompanied by the howling of the cold wind.
“The holy land is nothing!”
At the same time, in another location, an evil life cultivator at the perfected Nihility Realm spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated rapidly in the face of the siege from many sides. As far as he could see, there was death everywhere on the holy mountain.
The smell of blood and mournful cries filled his senses.
The approach of death caused his heart to tremble even more. Hence, as he retreated, he disregarded everything and used a secret art, wanting to do his best to escape.
He was halfway to success.
Under his secret art, his entire body emitted a blood light and he escaped the fate of being surrounded and attacked. However, under the envelopment of the array formations in the outside world, he couldn’t completely teleport out. He could only… appear at the foot of the holy mountain.
The moment he appeared, before he could see the situation in his surroundings clearly, the wind had already blown into his face.
The sense of life-and-death crisis that was countless times more intense than when he was surrounded earlier suddenly erupted in his mind. His heart trembled violently and he instinctively wanted to retreat. However, at the next instant, the wind cut off his head.
The world slowed down in his perception until it turned pitch-black.
As blood gushed out, the corpse fell.
As for his head that flew up, it landed in the hand of a figure who walked out of the wind. He then carried it and disappeared again.
When he appeared again, he was already in the middle of the mountain.
There were even more corpses here. To the Evil Life Race, the situation was a complete defeat.
The disparity in power between the two sides rendered the resistance of the Evil Life Race utterly meaningless. Their struggle only bought them a bit more time, but at the cost of injuries and mental torment.
Even the Soul Acc.u.mulation elders and experts of the race died one after another under the attacks of the heir, King Zhen Yan, and the others.
Blood clouds gathered in the sky and blood rain fell.
The flames were still burning, burning the falling blood rain into fog that enveloped the holy mountain.
Xu Qing was like the G.o.d of death walking in the human world. Amidst the blood fog, he walked from the foot of the holy mountain to the top of the mountain.
He did not select his targets. No matter what cultivation base they had, as long as they were an Evil Life race member, they would be branded with the mark of death.
He did this for Nihility, Spirit Repository, Nascent Soul, and Golden Core cultivators.
Hence, the smell of blood grew denser and denser. The blood-curdling screams became increasingly heart-rending but the number of them gradually decreased.
In the end, when Xu Qing walked out of the blood fog that surrounded the mountain, the moment he stood at the top of the mountain, the wails of the evil life cultivators no longer rang out from the battlefield.
Their race was completely annihilated.
There were only corpses scattered everywhere on the mountain. Most of them were mutilated.
Blood dyed this white mountain red.
The aura of death caused the Corpse Forbidden under the sea to tremble slightly. However, it was quickly suppressed by the aura on the surface of the sea.
On the mountain peak, Xu Qing took a deep breath and looked at all those who had come to help. After taking a look, he bowed to everyone.
He then looked at Ling’er, who was beside the heir.
Ling’er had grown up. She knew that Xu Qing had more important things to do, so she didn’t disturb him. After noticing Xu Qing’s gaze, her expression was filled with longing.
Xu Qing’s gaze was gentle as he nodded. He then turned and looked at the captain who was also walking over from the blood fog.
“Eldest Senior Brother?”
Erniu knew what Xu Qing wanted to say. Hence, he licked his lips and sensed the blood in the surroundings. He then laughed sinisterly.
“Little Qing, don’t worry. With the blood sacrifice of the entire Evil Life race, I’ll definitely be able to find traces of that person! Moreover, not only does he no longer have that strange pair of scissors, but he’s also in a weak state. There’s a high chance that he’s no longer at the Ruler realm.”
As he spoke, the captain stomped his right foot and rose into the air.
In the air, he raised his hand and grabbed at the blood fog below. Immediately, the dense blood fog that filled the holy land let out rumbling sounds and transformed into five hurricanes. With Erniu as the center, they soared into the sky and continued to spin.
A large number of corpses were also shaken by the hurricanes and swept into them, circling around like fallen leaves.
This scene was shocking, as though it was some evil technique.
A sharp glint appeared in Erniu’s eyes. He quickly performed a series of hand seals with both hands and muttered something. Immediately, the five hurricanes rumbled and all the corpses inside shattered.
After the corpses turned into minced meat, the five hurricanes looked even more soul-stirring. In the end, Erniu pointed at the sky with his right hand and the five hurricanes headed straight for the sky.
They gathered in the sky, forming a sea of blood. As it churned, rumbling sounds rang out, forming a black vortex.
Looking at the vortex, Erniu let out a deep shout.
“Junior Brother!”
Xu Qing didn’t hesitate at all. The Golden Crow flew out of his body and spat out the main body of Transient Evil that had been refined.
It landed beside Erniu.
Erniu raised his right hand and pressed it on the top of Transient Evil’s head. After his fingertips grabbed the skull tightly, his voice carried an ancient feeling as it echoed through the world.
“Using blood as the catalyst and thoughts as the cause, this bone, this cultivator, the soul of heaven and earth, origin descent.”
The moment the sound rang out, the vortex spun even more intensely. Bolts of lightning swam inside and rumbled in all directions, like silver snakes filling the sky.
Vaguely, an illusory scene was guided and revealed in the black vortex.
At the start, it was still blurry and distorted. However, at the next instant, a sharp glint appeared in Erniu’s eyes. A blue light appeared on his entire body and gathered together, blasting into the scene.
While the scene was dyed blue, Erniu coughed blood repeatedly and they landed on the scene.
It was as though he was cleaning it.
Soon, the scene became clear.
That was the seabed!
A pitch-black figure was originally moving rapidly, but it seemed to have sensed something and instinctively turned its head.
It revealed its appearance.
It was Transient Evil!
His expression was first stunned but in the next instant, it turned gloomy. After that, he raised his hand and waved it, as though he wanted to sever this connection.
At this moment, the scene became blurry again.
“You want to run?”
Erniu laughed coldly. With a sway of his body, he headed straight for the vortex. Xu Qing also took a step forward immediately and instantly got close, entering the vortex with extreme killing intent.
A flaming figure rushed out of the holy mountain and transformed into Huang Yan, stepping into the vortex with the two.
With a boom, the vortex dissipated
