Absolutely Refuse, Crazy Actions

Changxi shouted out her wish, which was the condition she hoped for.

Ling Xiao was stunned, and his gaze towards Xi He and Changxi gradually became incredulous.

"Is this your condition...?"

"Survive..."

He remained silent, his heart filled with unease, and a fleeting look of reminiscence crossed his eyes.

Memories of the past kept flashing through my mind.

Ling Xiao suddenly realized that those fragmented memories, with their limited overlap, held a unique and indescribably precious meaning.

He never imagined that the promise he made in his humble beginnings, after countless years, would be fulfilled in this way today.

In fact, over the years, Xi He and Changxi could have offered him better terms, even if it meant attaining sainthood and receiving an unparalleled treasure, Ling Xiao would still have kept his promise.

But they didn't; they didn't come to him at his peak, seeking better terms.

Instead, they suddenly appeared at the time of the apocalypse and made such a condition.

Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, staring directly at Xi He and Changxi, momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, Xi He felt Ling Xiao's gaze. She calmly met his eyes and said earnestly:

"Ling Xiao, what my sister said is what I also wanted to say. I know you have the ability to escape, so don't waste your energy. Leave and live!"

"These are the terms that Changxi and I agreed to!"

Ling Xiao watched them quietly, feeling endless sighs in his heart. Just then, a familiar system voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[The Taiyin Goddess has detected that she is using the original agreement with the host. Please make the following choice.]

[Option 1: Agree to the conditions, escape alive, and receive a Primordial Spiritual Root.]

[Option Two: Refuse to fulfill the conditions, fight to the end, and be rewarded with the malevolent treasure, the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin.]

Seeing the two reward options, Ling Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "System, even you want me to escape?"

With two choices—a primordial spiritual root or a malevolent treasure—it's obvious which choice is better.

This is very different from before.

In the past, the system would always try to lure him out, so the more risky the choice, the more rewarding it was.

But now it's actually the other way around.

The system offered him such an asymmetrical reward in order to let him escape.

Legend has it that the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin and the Six-Soul Banner's Saint-Slaying Pill are from the same lineage, both being magical treasures capable of sealing Sage, making them extremely precious.

However, it is still far inferior to the Primordial Spiritual Root.

The rewards for these two options demonstrate the system's thoughtful design.

Now that he possesses the Eternal Bell, Chaos Supreme Treasure, along with various other means, he still has a chance to escape if he really wants to.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao was amused by the ridiculous idea.

If he just runs away like that, abandoning everything, what's the point of cultivating the Tao?

Those who cultivate the Tao must rise to the challenge.

Without an invincible Dao heart, how can one transcend worldly affairs and attain the Great Dao?

Ling Xiao no longer hesitated; he had found the reason.

"System, I choose option two."

After a brief silence following these words, the system surprisingly responded.

"This choice is fraught with danger. Are you sure you want to do this, host?"

"Of course, it's because I prefer the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin."

Ling Xiao replied, with such nonchalance.

If it fails, this coffin will be just right to bury this body.

After making the choice, Ling Xiao felt a surge of pride and his mindset underwent another transformation.

He looked at Xi He and Changxi, and said in a clear voice with a smile, "I'm sorry, I cannot grant your request."

"We'll leave the conditions open for now. Let me know when you've thought it through!"

Upon hearing this, Xi He Changxi's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Ling Xiao! What are you doing?"

"I said, never give up until the very last moment."

Ling Xiao burst into laughter, his heart overflowing with pride and righteous indignation.

Then, with a swift movement, the Eternal Bell above his head leaped up and charged towards the oncoming world -World-Destroying Millstone.

Eternal holy light illuminated heaven and earth, Ling Xiao transformed into the sun, remaining Eternal still amidst the dark storm, before crashing into the World-Destroying Millstone.

Boom...

The sky roared and thundered as the world -World-Destroying Millstone, which resembled a curtain of the heavens, was held aloft by the Ling Xiao.

The Eternal Bell unleashed its power, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate. Ling Xiao's divine body erupted, and every Crystal Divine Kingdom exerted its power, coalescing together—what a magnificent force this was!

The black demonic clouds and the aura of Destruction were blocked like a tidal wave, and the World-Destroying Millstone emitted a wailing roar, as if it were howling in anger.

The pace of the collapse of heaven and earth slowed down. Countless immortals and gods watched this scene with deep shock in their eyes; they were temporarily saved.

But the next moment, hope was dashed again. The white-haired man chuckled, raised his hand, and an invisible force swept over him.

Like an invisible giant hand manipulating everything, Ling Xiao's divine body was squeezed by this invisible force, and his Crystal Divine Kingdom shattered one by one.

At the same time, the World-Destroying Millstone became even heavier, possessing incredible power, which made it difficult for Ling Xiao to support. His arms were covered in blood and flesh, with white bones exposed.

This was a terrifying thing for him.

Such injuries are rare.

Ling Xiao's face was grim. If things continued like this, he would be crushed by the World-Destroying Millstone and become nothing more than a pie in the sky.

With this in mind, a startling and audacious idea suddenly popped into my head.

"What would happen if we put the World-Destroying Millstone into the Chaos Bead...?"

Ling Xiao suddenly had a whimsical, bold, and crazy idea.

If we could collect the World-Destroying Millstone into the world within the Chaos Bead and then find a way to suppress and refine it, it might be a turning point!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea, or rather, a last resort.

It would be possible to try to collect the Primordial World into the Chaos Bead, but in the face of evil will, this idea is somewhat fanciful.

The only option is to try and incorporate the World-Destroying Millstone unexpectedly.

Thinking of this, a crazy yet determined glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes.

There was no time for him to consider or hesitate.

At this point, as long as we don't sit idly by and wait for our doom, there is a chance for things to turn around.

Immediately, Ling Xiao activated his magic power and used a Great Dao technique, outwardly putting up a fight while secretly beginning preparations.

The stalemate continued for a short while.

Ling Xiao's eyes flickered, tearing through the sky, and in an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

"Get up!"

With a loud roar, Ling Xiao's hands gripped the World-Destroying Millstone firmly, like peerless divine weapons, with Great Dao runes flashing and intertwining.

It even bears the shadow of the Chaos Heaven-Sealing Technique.

In that instant, Ling Xiao unleashed unprecedented power, doing everything in his power to suppress the World-Destroying Millstone.

It doesn't need to take long, just a moment is enough.

"Boom!"

The vast sky shattered, the Qiankun trembled, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ling Xiao held the World-Destroying Millstone in his hands. The next moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

The World-Destroying Millstone, radiating an aura of Destruction, suddenly vanished into thin air.

Not only could they not be seen, but they had also lost all trace of life.

It's as if they've never existed in this world.

Everything vanished completely.

The white-haired man was stunned on the spot, his eyes revealing deep astonishment.

What about the World-Destroying Millstone?

Where did that huge millstone go?

"You bastard! Where have you taken the World-Destroying Millstone?"

The white-haired man was enraged and let out a roar that shattered the heavens.

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. The World-Destroying Millstone had vanished into thin air, and even he could hardly sense its presence.

This is outrageous!

Unbelievable!
