Could He Still Be Called a Hero?
But when Ye Jing picked up the manual, he raised an eyebrow.
Because this is an incomplete copy.
Only the upper half, which is equivalent to a biography, is complete; the lower half, containing most of the Cultivation Method, has been torn out!
But this doesn't affect him.
Ye Jing flipped through it and was utterly shocked!
It was him!
The owner of this book, the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture, was actually him!
During the Fifth Heaven and Earth Cataclysm!
There is a figure who brings Great Terror to the Canglan Domain!
No one knows his identity.
He didn't even have a specific name; people called him "The Face Ghost!"
Because he would tear off the faces of those he killed!
Furthermore, the killings were completely random, targeting neither God of Heaven and Earth nor ordinary merchants.
It seems that killing was something he did at will.
It was once jointly besieged by Righteous Sects.
But in the end, they found nothing!
Because nobody knows who he is?
Unless he shows himself, no one knows where he is.
Like a ghost!
That's why he was called "The Face Ghost!"
But then, he seemed to suddenly disappear from the world, and there was no trace of him ever again!
Ye Jing is also little known in historical records.
But the first few pages of this manual are actually his autobiography:
A night of torrential rain.
The Face Ghost disguised himself as an ordinary man.
Listening to music in the brothel.
A glass of sake goes down my throat.
Sudden.
The dancer, who was moving gracefully to the music, suddenly froze.
Because a burly man suddenly appeared in front of her.
He was the first Emperor of the Dali Emperor Li.
He glanced at everyone in the brothel, indicating that he knew the Face Ghost was among them.
He hopes the Face Ghost will come forward and hand over the <Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture>, otherwise he will kill one person at a time until everyone in the brothel is wiped out!
After saying that, he crushed the dancer's head.
Blood splattered!
Everyone in the brothel was instantly terrified!
They wanted to escape!
However, an invisible Prohibition was preventing them from doing so.
The Face Ghost tried to force his way out, but he sensed several auras outside the brothel that were no weaker than the Emperor Li's!
This forced him to continue disguising himself in the crowd!
But Emperor Li really started killing people with every step he took. Innocent blood stained half of his face, making him look even more like a ghost than he did!
In the end, he had no choice!
He could only reveal himself and fight against Emperor Li and the others. In the end, he was naturally no match for them, but before he perished, he destroyed the latter half of the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture!
[You have witnessed the life of the "Face Ghost."]
[Your Heaven-Defying Comprehension; you have comprehended the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture.]
Ye Jing was filled with mixed emotions!
Although the Face Ghost, who was described as extremely cruel in history, ultimately died at the hands of the hero who shone brightly in history.
But the methods these so-called heroes use are more cruel than those of demons!
Can such a hero still be called a hero?
[You are so engrossed in it that you have completely grasped the profound mysteries of the Pill King's Precious Mirror.]
The system's voice faded.
Ye Jing then fully mastered the Heavenly Origin Formless Art!
A thought flashed through his mind.
His rugged face began to change.
His once handsome face instantly became ordinary.
His aura also became no different from that of an ordinary person!
This Breath Concealment Technique is different; it completely alters one's aura, rather than simply hiding it!
Ye Jing touched his face.
This Divine Ability is truly the perfect choice for killing and stealing treasure!
Returning to normal, Ye Jing opened the third treasure chest.
Inside lay a book of Divine Ability studied by the Great Li Imperial Clan for generations.
Ye Jing glanced at it and lost much of his interest!
Leaving the Great Li Dance Tower, Ye Jing felt a little regretful.
Hu Jie told him this before he came.
This Great Li Martial Tower is only used by the Great Li Imperial Family for fishing.
It's specifically designed to lure greedy people!
So they only put a few books there as a formality.
Otherwise, the accumulated wealth of the Dali over thousands of years could not have been so little.
The rest of the martial arts Divine Ability he had plundered were hidden away by the Great Li Imperial Family, and he didn't know their exact locations.
It's estimated that some of the remaining fugitives will find out, and Hu Jie has already sent people to hunt them down!
Once there is news, Ye Jing will be notified immediately.
Ye Jing wasn't in a hurry; there was something more important to do right now.
Something I was supposed to do today, but was interrupted.
Reach out and cleave through the void.
Ye Jing stepped into the crevice, and the next second...
He appeared atop a dark abyss that reeked of blood.
Ye Jing looked down into the abyss; this was the location of the Dali Demon Sect.
The Demon Abyss!
This place is also a forbidden zone in the entire Dali, and everyone avoids it.
The Dali also maintains a military presence here year-round.
After overthrowing Dali, Hu Jie immediately sent troops to take over the area.
To prevent the Demon Sect from taking advantage of the chaos to harm humanity.
Ye Jing was preparing to disguise himself and infiltrate the Demon Abyss.
"Who are you, sir?"
A hoarse voice echoed from the abyss, carrying both threat and apprehension.
"I'm looking for the Demonic Cult Leader!"
Ye Jing stood in mid-air, somewhat surprised. Although he had only used the Breath Concealment Technique, he could still sense him.
It seems this Demon Sect has some tricks up its sleeve.
It's no wonder it's remained so sturdy for over a thousand years!
The voice from the abyss seemed to pause for a moment before speaking.
"The Demonic Cult Leader perished a thousand years ago; the person you are looking for is not here!"
"Whether it exists or not, I'll only know for sure after I find it myself!"
After Ye Jing finished speaking, he suddenly shot towards the abyss filled with black mist.
"How dare you!"
After the hoarse voice finished roaring, a Demon Abyss, and a huge black-purple lotus flower enveloped the entire abyss!
Supreme Earth Nether Black Lotus Array!
Ye Jing raised an eyebrow slightly. No wonder he could spot him; there was a protective formation around Great Array!
Deep within the Demon Abyss.
Outside a grand, pitch-black hall.
Countless members and Elder of the Demon Sect gathered on the plaza piled high with white bones.
One by one, they looked puzzled.
Why did this protective Great Array suddenly activate?
Sudden!
A man with the most terrifying aura, exuding an aura of evil.
It flew out of the main hall.
"Vice Cult Master, what's going on?"
Elder quickly stepped forward to inquire.
"A formidable enemy is attacking!"
Luo Xing's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was grave.
"What? Enemies? Isn't Dali in the middle of a civil war? How come they have time to deal with us?"
"Exactly! We're already being lenient by not causing them any trouble, and they still dare to come looking for us? They're asking for it!"
"Vice Cult Master, activate the Great Array and let us go out to kill all the people of Dali!"
"I haven't drunk fresh blood in ages!"
One of the Demonic Cult Disciple was bloodthirsty and exuded a violent aura.
"Shut up! This is a critical time; we can't afford any accidents!"
Luo Xing snorted coldly, and everyone instantly fell silent.
The sect leader is currently in a critical period of seclusion. If successful, he will not only be able to fully recover from his injuries.
His strength could even approach his peak!
If it weren't for the limitations imposed by this world, the sect leader could have directly recovered to the Heaven and Earth God Realm!
The leader cannot afford any surprises now!
Since the person outside knew of the cult leader's existence, they absolutely could not be allowed to enter!
So he immediately activated the protective Great Array!
This is Supreme Earth Nether Black Lotus Array, with astonishing defensive power!
Even someone at the first level of the Heaven and Earth God Realm wouldn't be able to break through it in a short time!
"Snap!"
But the next second...
The black lotus that enveloped the entire abyss suddenly split open!
A boy's voice rang out:
"Huh? That's it?"
