Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Ran’s eyes were filled with anger. Xu Qing was smug. “Don’t look at me like that. I’m not afraid of death, but now, you can no longer ascend to immortality. I’m very satisfied. Hahahaha—”
Xu Qing laughed loudly, and his laughter gradually disappeared. He fell straight down and stopped breathing.
Xu Ran was so angry that his heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do.
A lot of black smoke rose on Xu Ran’s body and entered Xu Qing’s body. In an instant, Xu Qing’s corpse had already turned black.
Liu Sanniang walked forward and condensed all the sins into a black bead.
Xu Ran absorbed spiritual energy crazily, trying to reach immortality in a single step. However, no matter how much spiritual energy and vitality he absorbed, he felt that it was not enough.
When Liu Sanniang finished drawing the talisman and came over, Xu Ran was still absorbing spiritual energy crazily. The talisman attached to him and Xu Ran roared. He was indignant that all his efforts were in vain in the end.
When the talisman was gone, Xu Ran’s body turned into a white light and flew to the horizon, while Liu Sanniang chanted the scriptures softly.
Black clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder rumbled. Soon, bean-sized raindrops fell from the clouds, nourishing and repairing this devastated land.
In Liu Sanniang’s palm was a heavy black bead.
Wu Ju looked at Liu Sanniang and asked gently, “Miss Liu, are you going to the Phoenix Mountain?”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
Wu Ju smiled. “Coincidentally, I’m going too. Let’s go together.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Wu Ju. “Okay.”
Without the evil source that absorbed vitality and spiritual energy, the lives of the commoners would gradually return to normal. Those who had the plague would also gradually be cured. Those who died of the plague would also reincarnate.
Without the goddess of the Western Wild, everything would return to normal.
A carriage slowly drove past the main road. Two men were driving the carriage.
One of them was dressed in black and had a cold expression.
The other was dressed in a white robe and had a gentle expression.
Liu Sanniang sat in the carriage with General Black leaning against her leg. Lin Jie was sleeping inside. The carriage was swaying. Lin Jie’s eyelashes fluttered. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Sanniang in disbelief. “Shifu.”
Liu Sanniang glanced at Lin Jie and poured a cup of warm tea. Lin Jie indeed felt that his throat was dry and uncomfortable. After drinking the water, he felt much better.
Lin Jie was puzzled. “Shifu, I’m still alive?”
Lin Jie thought that he was already dead. He also felt that he should be dead.
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes.”
Lin Jie looked at Liu Sanniang and sized her up carefully. Gradually, his eyes became moist, and tears rolled down his face. “Shifu, you…”
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Lin Jie’s head. “After I leave this world, you have to live well.”
Lin Jie lowered his head, not daring to imagine or ask.
However, even if he did not ask, he could feel Liu Sanniang’s feelings.
A Divine Emperor who harmed the world had to be eliminated, but in order to get rid of him, Liu Sanniang had to sacrifice her life.
The way into Phoenix Mountain was through a valley covered in fog.
At a certain point, they could no longer drive the carriage and had to walk their way in.
When they walked into the fog, they realized that the ground was scorched, and there was a charred smell.
This was Phoenix Mountain, their final destination.
The fog was very thick, covering the sky. When they entered the fog, they could no longer see anything. They could only see each other.
As they walked deeper and deeper, they still could not see any vegetation. Instead, wherever they went, the scorched earth under their feet was covered in a thick layer of ashes.
When the black figure appeared in front of them, Liu Sanniang and the others stopped in their tracks.
The black figure gradually turned around. He took off his black robe, revealing his handsome facial features. However, his eyes were sharp and there was no coldness when he looked at people.
With a wave of his hand, a table and chairs appeared in front of him. He sat down. “It’s just a small world. Why do you have to go to such an extent to save it? There are countless billions of worlds outside this small world. It doesn’t matter if this insignificant small world is destroyed.”
Liu Sanniang looked at him calmly and said, “You’re the Divine Emperor, that phoenix.”
The Divine Emperor smiled. His face gradually changed to that of a white-haired old man. His voice was hoarse as he said, “I can also be someone else. I have too many identities, so many that I can’t even remember.”
The Divine Emperor looked at Liu Sanniang. “Why won’t you give up on this world? You have so many worlds. Why are you holding a strand of your hair so tightly when you have hundreds of thousands of hairs?”
Liu Sanniang said coldly, “Yes, you can’t forget about getting even a strand of hair from me.”
The Divine Emperor finally returned to his original appearance and smiled. “Since you want me to die, let’s die together.”
The Divine Emperor stared at Liu Sanniang, his eyes burning with suppressed anger.
With a wave of his hand, the scenery around him suddenly changed to a world filled with thick spiritual energy and vitality. There were cultivators and spiritual beasts flying through the air.
“Open your eyes and take a good look at what Dao is!”
The Divine Emperor roared.
He was Han Zhen’s spiritual beast. The two of them had never formed a contract, but they were like brothers and trusted each other.
He thought that Han Zhen was upright and righteous. The two of them cultivated together. When their cultivation reached perfection, they would naturally ascend to the Divine World to continue their brotherhood. However, he did not expect that during the heavenly tribulation, Han Zhen would erupt with so much demonic aura. Moreover, at some point, an array was cast on him, and all the demonic aura was transferred to him.
As for him, he was devoured by the demonic aura and fell on Phoenix Mountain. The pain of being burned by the flames destroyed him. However, he was a phoenix. Under extreme resentment and indignation, he was reborn.
He wanted to ascend to the Divine World to take revenge, but he could not get rid of those sins on him. He spread the sins so that one day, he would transcend the tribulation and ascend again..
