Killing

On Heaven Imprisoning Island.

After overturning the second Abyss Heaven Stele, the group quickly rushed towards the last Abyss Heaven Stele.

"If that still doesn't work, then we'll have to topple this last Dao Stele as well!"

"Someone said in despair."

They would rather be burned to ashes by the Scorching Sun Sacred Fire and disappear into the Mo River than be completely annihilated by the Demon Sage.

Upon hearing their words, Ji Qingqing trembled and quickly rose to her feet, rushing towards the last Abyss Heaven Stele.

She would protect this last Dao Stele with her life!

As she ran, she glanced at the Abyss beyond the island and saw the enormous Abyss Heaven Stele plummeting straight down, obscuring that figure.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and when she saw the little red flower floating in the air, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart, experiencing a piercing pain.

She covered her mouth to suppress her grief and continued rushing towards the final Abyss Heaven Stele.

The divine Divine Soul guarding this Abyss Heaven Stele Unity with her, and stood with its sword in front of the Dao Stele.

The crowd glared at her Anger, but there was no argument for the moment. Suddenly, the Heaven Imprisoning Island beneath their feet took flight, as if it had shed a heavy burden, soaring like a bird. The speed at which it swayed was so fast that it almost threw everyone on the island off.

With the other two Abyss Heaven Lock gone, the island was pulled upright by the remaining Abyss Heaven Lock. The people on the island were shocked and quickly looked for nearby rocks to hold onto in order to avoid sliding down.

The rocks that were originally on the island all collapsed and rolled down as the island tilted completely.

The loose rocks fell in large chunks, crashing onto the chains and plunging into the Abyss.

Li Tiangang and Ji Yunqing, who were desperately climbing, saw a huge boulder rolling down from above and quickly hid in the crack of the lock to avoid being pulled down by the boulder.

Once the rocks had mostly fallen, everyone looked over and saw that the Demon Sage's tentacles had all retracted, Past the Abyss Heaven Lock they had thrown earlier.

"Very good!"

"That Demon Sage's target was actually him. It seems the Old Madman was right. The deceased Wenren Ji was instinctively tracking the Aura of Sage. She said that person was Dao Seed, and must have Innate Sacred Bone!"

"Sacred Bone, such a thing is rare even in my Ji Family. What a pity."

"What a pity? Weren't you the one pushing the hardest just now? Now you've changed your tune."

"You pushed too, I just gave you a little help."

"Alright, we're not even completely out of danger yet, and you're already starting to shift the blame? Are you that afraid of being held accountable by the Lineage?"

"Anyway, it's all Wenren Ji's fault."

"Speaking of which, is that Dao Seed also a criminal? How did he end up being imprisoned here?"

"What are you thinking? Even if Dao Seed makes a mistake, someone will take the blame for him. I think he didn't make a mistake; he came here on business, probably to pick someone up, right?"

The group clung to the rocks and began arguing, all their eyes turning to Ji Qingqing.

Without a doubt, the person that the Dao Seed was meant to pick up was her.

When Ji Qingqing was exiled here, it was said that her Criminal Charge was marrying a member of a foreign tribe. Now it seems that the Dao Seed might be his son.

These criminals, all seasoned veterans, immediately guessed the general situation. They couldn't help but be surprised; could that Dao Seed be Half-Blood? Could Half-Blood become Dao Seed? When did the Ji Family become so pathetic? It seems they really can't do without them...

"Stop talking! Quick, protect this Abyss Heaven Stele! Don't let it fall off!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

The Abyss Heaven Stele was slightly loose. Originally, the chains that held the three Abyss Heaven Stele Steles together were now only one, and it was starting to loosen.

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly climbed towards the Abyss Heaven Stele, intending to press it onto the island.

Ji Qingqing was initially worried that they would overturn the Abyss Heaven Stele again, but now that she saw Wenren Ji was not attacking, they were frantically protecting the Abyss Heaven Stele, which made her feel ironic.

But this scene also made her secretly relieved. She turned around and looked at the chains, and saw Li Tiangang thousands of meters away.

The couple locked eyes, and Li Tiangang, his expression filled with excitement, cried out, "Qingqing!"

A wave of sorrow washed over Ji Qingqing. She crawled towards the front of the chains and cried out, "Heavenly Gang..."

After the chains left the Abyss vertically, the suction force from the Demon Sage's mouth weakened. Li Tiangang was filled with surprise and excitement, and his climbing speed suddenly increased. He rushed to the top of the chains and embraced Ji Qingqing tightly.

He hugged her tightly, then quickly looked around and asked, "Where's Hao'er?"

"Hao'er... he's fallen into the Abyss."

Ji Qingqing's eyes were red and moist, and she was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"What?"

Li Tiangang suspected that it was the wind that made him not hear clearly.

Ji Qingqing, however, was sobbing that she couldn't speak.

Li Tiangang finally realized what was happening. He shuddered, feeling as if all the blood in his body suddenly burned to its limit, and then suddenly turned ice cold to the soles of his feet.

His mind went blank with a buzzing sound, and he could no longer hear even the sound of his wife crying.

Falling into the Abyss?

Li Tiangang's neck stiffened, and he turned his head with difficulty to look at the other side of the chains, at the twisting body of the Blood Lotus Demon Sage and the bottomless Abyss.

How, how could this be...

Li Tiangang's mind went blank for a moment, and he froze in shock.

That child, is he dead?

Dead?!

His mind was buzzing, filled with disbelief and utter disbelief!

He had already decided before he came that no matter how the child treated him, he would choose to endure it, even if it meant apologizing, bowing his head, or even going further, even if it meant bending over and bowing, he would take the child back.

He wanted to make up for what he had done to the child.

He didn't want his father to die with regrets!

Despite having many conflicts with the child and disliking many of his behaviors, he still treated him like his own child and tried to discipline him, hoping he would become a better person.

But now, he's dead?

Li Tiangang's mind seemed to freeze, and after a long while, hot tears welled up in his eyes.

He recalled the scenes that unfolded in that Courtyard.

The child was drawing in the yard, beaming with joy.

The child chatted idly with his Second Uncle, his voice lively and engaging.

The child lay on the rocking chair, relaxed and languid.

Time and again, he watched all of this with a frown.

But now, he can no longer see it.

Even the child playing can't be seen anymore!!

"It's fake, it's fake, right, Qingqing?"

Li Tiangang's voice was hoarse and trembling. He had witnessed the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Northern Yan and saw Li Fu and Yu Xuan die tragically before his eyes. He was in extreme pain, but he did not shed a tear. He had heard his father say that a man on the battlefield sheds blood but not tears!

But now, he shed tears.

Ji Qingqing could only sob; these words left her speechless.

"The Hao'er you're talking about..."

At this moment, Ji Yunqing, who was standing nearby, had already reacted. His pupils dilated, and he trembled as if in an earthquake, exclaiming in shock, "Could it be Leping?!"

Upon hearing this name, Ji Qingqing felt an overwhelming surge of sorrow.

"Leping is the name I gave him. Heavenly Gang, did you tell him that? It's my fault, I killed him..."

Ji Yunqing froze, somewhat bewildered.

Did that child fall into the Abyss?

He Dharma Form what he was hearing. His child, who had become famous throughout the Ji Family at the Heaven Pride Battle, defeated all the Heavenly Prodigy, fought against the Sacred Bone with his own flesh and blood, broke through the Dao Domain, and forged an invincible legend, was actually going to die here?

A rising star, before even reaching its most dazzling moment, has plummeted into obscurity?

"How could this be? It's chains, this..."

Ji Yunqing looked up and immediately saw the tilted state of Heaven Imprisoning Island. His pupils contracted, and he instantly understood what had happened.

He felt a rush of Qi and Blood to his face, and a surge of sorrow welled up inside him.

"Why not overthrow this Abyss Heaven Stele? Why that child? Why?!"

His Anger roar reached the island, and the expressions of those who had pushed the monument earlier changed slightly. If they had another choice, they would also consider pushing the monument first, but the situation was too critical at the time, and they couldn't think of anything else.

"I'd rather we fall than that child! He's so young, so very young!!"

Ji Yunqing roared in sorrow. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the most outstanding Heavenly Prodigy of the Ji Family in ten thousand years. He defeated the Dao Domain with the Three Immortalities, broke the legend, and even won the favor of the Sage. Yet, he had fallen just like that.

He couldn't accept that the light that carried the Future hopes of the Ji Family had been extinguished just like that.

"You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!!"

Ji Yunqing's eyes were bloodshot, and amidst her grief, a surge of murderous intent rose within her as she glared at everyone on the island.

Everyone's expression changed, and the old man from the Dao Domain inside also looked grim. Ji Yunqing was also at the Great Peace Dao Realm, and even if he burned his Divine Soul, he was no match for him, after all, his condition was too poor.

Upon hearing Ji Yunqing's furious roar, Li Tiangang shuddered and realized the reason.

Looking at the last remaining chain perpendicular to the sky, he felt his heart tremble, and he had an indescribable urge to vomit blood.

Doesn't this mean he indirectly caused Li Hao's death?

If he hadn't come, they wouldn't be on this chain, and the two chains that were overturned certainly wouldn't be Li Hao's chain!

Once he understood this, he felt his head buzzing again, as if his Dao Heart was being burned away.

He personally ruined Li Hao's life?!

But he clearly only wanted to come and apologize...

Why is this happening?

Li Tiangang's eyes glazed over, and he was speechless.

In the Abyss.

When Li Hao was struck by the Abyss Heaven Stele, the force of its rapid descent caused Li Hao physical pain.

As he plummeted to near the Abyss, close to the Demon Sage, Li Hao finally managed to push away the Abyss Heaven Stele his body, wipe the blood from his face, and then quickly climbed to the other side of the Abyss Heaven Stele, while simultaneously activating the Dao Saint's Mark within his body.

At this moment, only this Saint's Mark could allow him to escape.

As consciousness touched it, the mark shone with silver light, but it contracted after a moment and returned to its original state.

Li Hao's expression changed drastically. The silver light shone again, but then returned to normal.

Is it being obscured by this Demon?

Li Hao was shocked and furious. He quickly touched the object repeatedly, but to no avail.

Darkness and a stench enveloped him from all sides, and seven or eight tentacles that had previously been wrapped around the chains lashed out at him.

Despair filled Li Hao's eyes. Was he really going to die here?

Gazing at the distant horizon, he suddenly realized that no one cared about his life or death.

The despair in his eyes turned into Anger, transforming into boundless flames and unleashing a deafening roar. However, the sound could not be transmitted under the suppression of the Demon Sage's Principle, like a silent cry.

He Anger swung his fist, as if he didn't care about his life, and smashed it at the tentacles.

With a loud bang, the tentacle knocked the Abyss Heaven Stele and its chains away. Another tentacle roared towards Li Hao, and even before it got close, the force it generated seemed to crush all the bones in Li Hao's body.

The boy, filled with despair, roared and punched wildly.

They collided, and the tentacles fell, slamming Li Hao into the giant maw that had split open within the Blood Lotus.

In an instant, Li Hao unleashed hundreds of punches, slamming them onto the Demon Sage's tentacles.

His body seemed to be shattered, his flesh torn apart, and the force of the tentacles shaking down was beyond his ability to withstand.

If his physical body hadn't been comparable to Divine Weapon forged nine times, and if he hadn't been in Divine Power State, a mere sweep of his tentacles would have been enough to obliterate him.

Inside that gigantic maw was like a bottomless Abyss. Li Hao fell for a long time before finally landing in a dark, bottomless, viscous place.

His flesh was torn apart, with only fascia clinging to his bones, like a wrecked skeleton awaiting death, lying in the Abyss.

The giant mouth closed, shutting out the last ray of light.

But just a few seconds later, Li Hao suddenly felt his body still falling rapidly.

No, to be precise, it was the Demon Sage's body that was rapidly falling.

He felt a sense of weightlessness, as if his body was floating, but the fall ended quickly, and he crashed heavily onto the sticky ground.

Then, a series of vibrations seemed to come from the surroundings, followed by large drops of liquid.

Has this meant falling to the bottom of Abyss?

Li Hao thought to himself, and at this moment, Anger was gone, replaced by an inexplicable calm.

More and more liquid poured in, falling onto his mangled body. Li Hao felt his flesh burning, and waves of stinging pain shot through him.

Will my own fate be to be digested?

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly as he gazed into the pitch-black darkness. Suddenly, he felt that his transmigration was truly absurd, and that he had come to this world for nothing.

Did we come here just to suffer?

Unfortunately, I haven't had Old Feng Daoist yet.

Qian Qian's Swordsmanship has not yet been guided into the Entering the Dao.

Yuanzhao, that kid, his parents aren't around, and I'm not by his side either. I hope he won't get bullied in the future.

Some thoughts drifted through my mind.

The burning pain all over my body was getting stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, it felt as if a large chunk of soft flesh, along with liquid, fell from above and splattered onto his body.

Immediately afterwards, the surroundings shook violently, as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart, and large amounts of soft flesh and hard bones crashed down on him.

A large amount of foul-smelling liquid, resembling blood, splattered around Li Hao, enveloping him.

Li Hao was submerged in blood and nearly choked.

The blood carried a strong corrosive force, Li Hao felt as if he were in boiling water and fire, with endless burning and pain tearing at him.

His flesh and blood were torn off, but his bones continued to resist, protecting his consciousness and Divine Soul.

Amidst the excruciating pain akin to Lingchi to death, Li Hao looked around, only to be horrified to discover that the Demon Sage who had devoured him seemed... dead?

The petals of the towering Blood Lotus were helplessly falling off and breaking, splashing blood hundreds of feet high into the sea of blood.

Blood surged towards him like a tidal wave, knocking Li Hao back to the Blood Lake.

Li Hao struggled to swim upwards, and as soon as he emerged, he saw the limbs of other Demon Sage decaying and falling, no longer possessing their previous softness and destructive power.

Li Hao's entire body was engulfed in a sea of blood, and his bones were being eroded by the blood.

Is that Demon Sage dead?

Li Hao stared in disbelief at the Great Demon saint before him.

Suddenly, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and his pupils widened.

Could it be that... all those hundreds of punches I desperately swung earlier, when they struck that tentacle, unexpectedly triggered a 1% Fatal Attribute?!

Li Hao was shocked by this idea.

This Demon Sage... he was killed by himself?!

He was somewhat dazed, but at this point, he couldn't care less about the reasons. His previously despairing and gloomy heart was now filled with a strong will to survive once again.

He struggled desperately in the sea of blood, trying to get up, but even though the Demon Sage's body was collapsing, the Power of Principle still did not dissipate, preventing him from circulating his energy and letting his power leak out.

One can only swim in this Blood Lake using only one's physical body.

However, the blood of this Demon Sage seemed to carry a strong corrosive power. More and more of his flesh was peeling away, and the exposed bones were also being burned and worn away. His body, which was comparable to Nine Forged Divine Weapon, was about to melt away.
