鈥淪ince you鈥檙e all going!鈥
鈥淚鈥檒l go with you!鈥
鈥淏rother Qiu looks down on me, and so do you. Today, I鈥檒l show you who amongst us fears death the least!鈥
Then, with red-rimmed eyes, he followed behind Chen Qiu, knowing this journey was a certain path to death. He used to be very afraid of dying, and he was still afraid now, but he refused to let scholar Brother Qiu and the others think he was someone who clung to life out of fear.
He really wasn鈥檛 just afraid of dying earlier.
...
He just didn鈥檛 want Brother Qiu to die here like this.
鈥
Chen Qiu鈥檚 pace was slow.
Many Quzhou Cultivators looked on with complex expressions at Chen Qiu鈥檚 retreating figure. That staggering silhouette seemed as though it could be blown away by a storm, and they couldn鈥檛 understand why Chen Qiu, so grievously injured, would seek death by heading toward the Evil Clan.
Why not wait until his injuries healed and then seek revenge?
Even though they were also angry and felt injustice on behalf of Chen Qiu, they knew that they were at a disadvantage at the moment. Once a battle started, everyone present would die there.
潡拣潣凁潟橉潡?co
Just then鈥
鈥淐hen Qiu.鈥
With a complex expression, Su Family Patriarch Su Tianshan blocked Chen Qiu鈥檚 path and shook his head, 鈥淚 can鈥檛 let you go. I know this might be the greatest dishonor you鈥檝e ever faced in your life, but life is long. We鈥檒l encounter many unsatisfactory things.鈥
鈥淎nd it鈥檚 only after setbacks that a person can grow stronger.鈥
鈥淚f you go now, you are seeking death.鈥
鈥淚鈥檝e also faced many setbacks on my journey, and some insults even greater than this, but haven鈥檛 I still become a Divinity Transformation powerhouse?鈥
鈥淛ust bear with it for now, calm seas will come.鈥 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
鈥溾€︹€
Leaning on the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, Chen Qiu, whose lips were white from severe pain, smiled after a moment of silence at Su Tianshan obstructing his path: 鈥淪u Family Master, it seems like you treat Divinity Transformation as the finish line.鈥
鈥淚t is precisely because you have always endured that you are only at the Divinity Transformation stage now. Can you advance any further?鈥
鈥淵ou can鈥檛 move forward.鈥
鈥淏ecause you鈥檝e lost your fighting spirit.鈥
鈥淎s for me鈥︹€
鈥淚n my life, I鈥檝e been through a lot, but there鈥檚 one thing I鈥檝e never experienced. I鈥檝e never knelt.鈥
鈥淲henever I鈥檝e had even the slightest means to kill an opponent, no matter the cost, I never let them live.鈥
鈥淎s for longevity, I鈥檝e never cared about it.鈥
鈥淲hat I care about is whether I can live freely and whether my enemies can enjoy that same freedom.鈥
鈥淧reventing them from living forever is what matters most to me.鈥
鈥淚f I must die.鈥
鈥淭hen, dead is dead.鈥
Chen Qiu pushed past the Su Family Master, said nothing more, and the little remaining Spiritual Energy within him surged out. The air filled with clouds once again, and a storm roared in, although the momentum was much less than before.
The cold rain beat down on Chen Qiu.
He didn鈥檛 activate his Protective Spirit Qi.
Just like that, in tattered clothes and leaning on the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, he staggered towards the direction of the Evil Cultivation Cultivators in the storm, and the refreshing coolness of the cold rain on his wounds made Chen Qiu feel much more comfortable, significantly lessening the pain.
鈥
Seeing Chen Qiu approaching them on the brink of death, the entire Evil Clan burst into riotous laughter, mocking each other.
鈥淗ey!鈥
The strongest of the Evil Clan鈥檚 Heavenly Pride, currently being supported by his clansmen, also scornfully taunted with a sneer: 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 actually think I鈥檒l fight you again, do you? Idiot! Or do you believe you can kill me among so many people?!鈥
鈥淥r do you find it too shameful to live, preferring death instead?鈥
Even the three Divinity Transformation powerhouses standing before the hundred thousand Evil Clan members were puzzled, failing to understand why Chen Qiu, already so severely injured, still approached them. Could it be鈥
鈥渀
Soon, the three exchanged glances, all perceiving the mockery in each other鈥檚 eyes.
Chen Qiu must have thought no one dared to kill him because of his 9.8 billion merit points, but he clearly forgot that with his current injuries, anyone could kill him, there was no need for the three of them to act.
The three of them were not foolish enough to be willing to suffer the backlash of 9.8 billion merit points.
Why not let someone else bear it?
This was the perfect opportunity to eliminate a potential future problem once and for all!
As the orders were given, soon a few members of the Evil Clan with cold expressions stepped forward, ready to endure the backlash of 9.8 billion merit points to kill Chen Qiu.
鈥
After several hundred breaths,
Chen Qiu walked to the edge of the pit, looking towards the distant horde of Evil Cultivators. His heavy injuries made his pace too slow, but鈥 it was enough.
鈥淏rother Qiu!鈥
Fat Long, unable to hold back, with reddened eyes and a hoarse voice, said, 鈥淲hy don鈥檛 you go first? I can go alone!鈥
鈥淗eh.鈥
Chen Qiu shook his head and chuckled, his expression dreamy as he took out a Token from his bosom and gently fondled it, whispering to the distant Evil Cultivators, 鈥淚t took me a thousand years to reach Xuantian Continent.鈥
鈥淚鈥檓 not here to be anyone鈥檚 underling.鈥
鈥淲hoever dares to mess with me, I must kill him, no matter the鈥 cost.鈥
He lowered his head to look at the 鈥淢erit Attack Order鈥 in his hand, silent for a long time before a light laugh escaped him.
鈥淟ife is cheap, I can鈥檛 kneel down.鈥
Then, leaving just a hundred million merit points, the remaining over 9.7 billion merit points were fully infused into the 鈥淢erit Attack Order鈥 without the slightest reservation. The originally simple Merit Order, upon the infusion of massive merit points, instantly turned extremely scarlet, emitting a blinding light.
As this 鈥淢erit Attack Order鈥 was tossed into the air by Chen Qiu,
The next moment鈥
The blinding scarlet light blossomed across heaven and earth, and all of Quzhou and Jing State saw the dazzling scene, the blinding scarlet light bloomed on the far western side of Quzhou!
The night was thoroughly dispersed!
Like the noonday sun!
Then, thick clouds instantly enveloped the hundred thousand Evil Cultivators, along with the entire Evil State, in an extremely terrifying celestial force that pinned everyone except Chen Qiu to the ground!
All the people and Cultivators within Quzhou, along with those in Evil State, were firmly pressed to the ground by this terrifying force and could not move!
Even the Su Family Patriarch, who was in the Divinity Transformation Stage, and the three Divinity Transforming members of the Evil Clan were no exception.
Even many people and Cultivators near Jing State, close to Quzhou, were also pinned to the ground at this moment by this terrifying force, unable to move, utterly unaware of what was happening, only feeling a continuous shuddering deep within their souls.
Immediately afterward!
In the fearful gaze of everyone,
Multitudes of Heavenly Punishment Thunder rained down upon the Evil Clan near Chen Qiu and across the entire Evil Continent, where all one could see was Heavenly Punishment, with purple-blue Thunder forming the only refrain!
And each strike of Heavenly Punishment was far more powerful than the full force of a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator!
鈥淏oom! Boom! Boom!鈥
Like the sky was collapsing, the sound echoed in the ears of all the Quzhou Cultivators and citizens; even those standing on the southernmost tip of Quzhou could clearly see that in the northwest part of Quzhou, there was a sky full of Heavenly Punishment Thunder carrying an extremely terrifying celestial force, enacting Heavenly Retribution!
Whether standing in a valley or atop a high mountain, all could clearly see.
The sky full of Thunder Punishment was being hurled down from the Nine Heavens.
This was a scene never before seen on the Quzhou Continent; even the battle thousands of years ago that nearly shattered the Quzhou Continent didn鈥檛 possess such terrifying pressure!
The entire Quzhou ground was trembling violently.
Whether they were sleeping or in deep cultivation, after the force of heaven and earth slightly weakened, they walked out of their homes, their bodies rigid in shock, eyes filled with indelible fear looking towards the northwest of Quzhou, where the terrifying Heavenly Punishment descended from the Nine Heavens!
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
It was a shudder from deep within their souls, as countless people looked with fear in their eyes, all simultaneously wondering the same thing.
What happened鈥 what鈥檚 going on?
Has the sky鈥 fallen again?
