Heart Dead
What's wrong with that kid? Why did he suddenly go crazy?
The Ghost King's ghostly aura surged, and he asked in a booming voice, "Boy, what's wrong with you? What did you see?"
After asking several times without getting a response, the Ghost King was furious. In the past, he would have taken matters into his own hands and had someone tell him what to do, but this kid was just too wicked, and he just couldn't muster the urge to do it.
About three days later, Shen Ge got up from the ground with a numb expression, as if his heart had died at that moment.
"Kid, what are you up to?" The Ghost King asked as soon as Shen Ge got up, seemingly eager to know what was written on it.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some things from my past, and suddenly realized that what I've been pursuing all this time is just a mirage, a dream." Shen Ge's voice was cold and a little hoarse, sounding like that of an old man nearing the end of his life.
"What happened to you, kid?" The Ghost King was still puzzled, seemingly unable to understand how Shen Ge had changed so much all of a sudden.
"Senior, how about I take you out?"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded, saying, "Alright, I've been wanting to get out for a while now."
Shen Ge waved his hand gently, and a pitch-black gate slowly appeared. The Ghost King glanced at it and then went inside.
"Young man, my name is Yi. Just call me if you need anything."
Then, Shen Ge raised his hand and pressed down, and the black gate immediately emitted a mysterious aura, causing countless ghostly energies around it to churn violently.
Shen Ge just stared blankly, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if everything was no longer relevant to him.
Knowing full well that this would be the outcome, Shen Ge still couldn't bear it when his hopes were truly shattered. Or rather, he was unwilling to face the result and refused to believe it.
But what's the use? The result is still the result, and it won't change whether you believe it or not.
"Samsara... heh..."
In Desert Wind City, Zhu Xiu looked at the closed Wind Cave and sighed softly. Ever since he was frightened away by that aura that day, he knew that Shen Ge was probably in grave danger the moment he met the City Lord Xue.
The reason he hadn't left these past few days was to wait and see if there was any chance for Shen Ge to change her fate. But now that the Wind Cave had closed, that chance probably wouldn't come. That's why he sighed.
"What a pity, yet another genius has died on the path to immortality. What a shame."
Zhu Xiu shook her head and sighed, then her figure disappeared.
One year later.
In the vast and boundless Heaven Beyond Heaven, world-destroying gales rage, and occasionally, terrifying tribulation lightning such as Purple Firmament Divine Lightning and Azure-Gold Heavenly Lightning flashes.
But the terror that was enough to annihilate even beings at the Body Integration Realm slowly subsided at this moment, but it didn't seem to extinguish naturally; rather, it was as if someone had forcibly extinguished it by grabbing its neck.
"Gentlemen, according to the rules, the war should begin." A faint, ethereal voice rang out from the heavens, but no one was visible.
"Let's begin."
"In that case, I'd like to ask you all to remain on the sidelines and observe!"
This war was a conflict between the Eight Domains, or perhaps it shouldn't be called a war at all; it felt more like an exchange and struggle between two regions, except that people would die.
It basically opens once every 100,000 years, and anyone below the Mahayana can participate.
The Archaic Region, Great Abyss.
On a mountaintop, Mo Qingyu blocked the strangely shaped figure, her brows furrowed as she stared at the familiar face within.
"Second Senior Brother, what happened to you?"
The Fenghuo, or rather, it can no longer be called Fenghuo, was still there. The person exuding an eerie aura stared expressionlessly at Mo Qingyu, unmoved by the address of "Second Senior Brother."
"It seems you really are no longer him." Mo Qingyu sighed softly. She had considered this before, but meeting him again was still somewhat unexpected.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying Geng Metal Sword Qi erupted from her body, and the world was filled with the sound of swords clashing.
"Since you are no longer him, then rest in peace!"
Immediately, the two sides clashed. Mo Qingyu fought against two opponents and held her own for a time, demonstrating her formidable strength!
As expected of Qingyu Zhenren, the number one Golden Core cultivator in Tiannan back then!
However, this battle is unlikely to be decided in a short time, since they are both Spirit Severing Realm experts, and it's impossible for one to instantly kill the other.
In a small, secret realm in the Southern Li of the land.
"Brother Shen, it's been a long time! Are you still as dashing as ever?" A chubby young man in a Qingyi Daoist robe said through gritted teeth as he looked at the two people in front of him.
This chubby boy is none other than Qingyu, the one who was known as the most miserable person in the Thunderfire Secret Realm.
The people in front of him were Shen Ge's External Avatar, Shen Linfeng and Li Xue.
Despite his current depressed and despondent state, he was all smiles and seemed to find everything amusing.
It seems that the emotions of the main and clones are not connected.
"You dare to talk back!" Shen Linfeng shouted, "The ' Know Heaven's Mandate ' Cultivation Method you gave me before was fake! Aren't you going to give me an explanation?!"
The chubby boy Qingyu, also looked indignant and said, "I'm not from the Clear Void Palace, how could I possibly know their secrets!"
"Besides, I told you last time that this is the person who caused me to be imprisoned by the Clear Void Palace for a hundred years. Do you know how I survived those hundred years?!"
"Hmm?" A faint aura of an array rose up, instantly calming the somewhat excited Qingyu down.
"Um, Snow Fairy, Sister Xue, this is all a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to yell at you two. I admit, it was my fault, but was it really necessary to use the formation? Put it away, put it away."
"Hmph, you bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. I truly regret running into you," Shen Linfeng sneered mockingly.
Qingyu's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just thought to himself, "If it weren't for that woman by your side, I would have beaten the shit out of you, fed it back to you, and then beaten it out again!"
Yes, Qingyu wasn't afraid of Shen Linfeng, nor was he afraid of Li Xue. What he was afraid of was Li Xue's formation. He truly had no talent for formations; he couldn't understand them and couldn't handle them.
"Wait a minute, you swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao Oath, how could you possibly break through to the Spirit Severing Realm?" Shen Linfeng suddenly remembered this. It turned out that the guy could even break his Heavenly Dao Oath. What a guy.
"It's just a vow. Besides, it was made by the person himself, what business is it of mine?"
"Hey, why are you two clinging to me like this? I'm just a poor Daoist priest, I don't have anything good on me. You two should hurry up and go inside, otherwise all the good stuff inside will be snatched up." Qingyu said anxiously, pouting.
