Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Your Origin, this Gu will Accept Gladly; Going to Seek Justice!

"Prince Ying, he's so ruthless! I've never offended him, yet he's trying to drive me to my demise!"

Qilin Zi's expression was terrible and he couldn't help but shout, attempting to send his voice as far as possible.

However, the two Great Sacred Realm existences had very cold expressions and made a move, effectively isolating his voice in the area.

"Prince Ying? You're overthinking things; he's not the master behind us."

A black shadow sneered coldly, not admitting it.

"What else do you want to argue about at this point?"

"Do you think if you don't admit it, I wouldn't know?"

Qilin Zi's eyes were extremely cold.

A brilliant light erupted from his brow, intertwined with multicoloured light, like an ancient deity being resurrected.

Buzz!

His aura was rapidly changing, as if an unparalleled invincible being was emerging behind him.

It was a hazy vision of a Legendary Demon Emperor, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, emerging from the long river of time.

His eyes pierced the heavens and the earth, shattering the universe.

When Qilin Zi's remaining followers saw this scene, they were filled with joy and hope.

"The Young Master still has a way!"

"There is still hope!"

"We will fight against them!"

Thinking of this, they took action once more and sacrificed their Divine Weapons, intending to self-destruct, thus creating a chance for Qilin Zi.

The Heavenly Demon Umbrella that covered the sky, the Radiant Whip that stretched for miles, the Mountain-like Seal that overturned the sky, the Bloody Giant Sword that slashed the sky... all of them were brilliant and eye-catching.

The murderous aura filled the area, extremely fierce, all of them about to self-destruct.

"Is this the life-saving means of the Qilin Demon Emperor?"

The black shadow's eyes were even colder, as if he had expected it for a long time, "Thankfully the Master gave me this thing!"

The massive black palm print pushed across the horizon, pressing down on the many Divine Weapons in its path, unafraid of any of the self-destructive powers.

The strength of this group of followers was only at the level of True Gods and Heavenly Gods, and in front of the Great Sages1Great Sacred Realm cultivators., they were indeed no different than mere ants.

The other two Great Sages attacked once more, with the Great Dao Flower blooming at the centre of their brows, from which dark light fell, faintly transforming into a Black Dao Bottle, floating up and down.

But this wasn't the real Black Dao Bottle.

Instead, it was just formed by the condensation of runes!

At that moment, with the three Great Sages together, the phantom of the Black Dao Bottle suddenly emerged, terrifying, enveloping the heavens and earth.

Inside, it looked as if stars were collapsing, with Dao Veins intertwined like a black hole ready to devour everything!

"This... this is..."

"Great Black Dao Bottle!"

Qilin Zi's expression changed as he recognized the phantom in the high sky.

Then the Demon Emperor's phantom stepped forward from behind him, surging with ferocity, taking the initiative to clash against the Black Dao Bottle in the high sky.

Soon after, a terrifying wave of fluctuations erupted in the vicinity.

The divine light filled the sky, causing all nearby mountains to tremble.

The terrifying power wielded by the three Great Sages combined could even kill a Quasi-Supreme!

After all, the phantom wasn't real, and there was only limited Qi to support it.

Although it was extremely powerful, it quickly blurred and was about to dissipate.

"Wha..."

Qilin Zi spurted blood, and his complexion suddenly turned pale.

However, a thought flashed in his mind and he became determined!

Then he activated his secret technique, knowing that in this battle, life and death were uncertain.

A secret signal was sent from him activating the secret method, so that if a strong member of the Qilin Clan arrived, they would be able to detect it!

"Prince Ying, you murderer!"

Between his brows, there was an aura of a Divine Weapon about to be resurrected, which was a small Golden Cauldron, floating from his vast Sea of Consciousness.

The aura within it was also rapidly growing more terrifying.

But at that moment!

Strange fluctuations occurred in the vicinity, as if someone was walking through time and space, and footsteps could be heard through the heavens and earth.

Immediately afterwards, crystal clear petals bloomed in the void.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Dark Immortal Flower took root in the void and then pierced through the many living creatures below, seemingly using them as nourishment to grow.

Puff!

Qilin Zi felt a stabbing pain between his brow, as if he had been pierced by a supreme immortal sword.

His expression abruptly changed, and at the end of his line of sight, he noticed a vague figure appear in front of him.

The opponent's fingers were drawn together like a sword, a golden immortal sword that seemed to fall from the vast universe and pierce through him in a flash.

"How is this possible..."

"How could it be you... Gu..."

Qilin Zi's voice trembled, and his soul almost froze.

The expression changed from horrified to shocked, terrified, and even desperate!

He never imagined that... all of this was not planned and orchestrated by Prince Ying.

Instead, from the beginning to the end, Prince Ying was the one simply caring the blame.

While the person who schemed from behind the scenes, and played everyone in the world in the palm of his hand, was none other than Gu Changge!

This made him tremble, and for the first time, he felt the emotion 'fear'.

In fact, even in the face of death, he could remain calm.

However... at this moment, he felt fear in his very soul.

Gu Changge looked at him with a calm expression that was devoid of any emotion.

Then, he nodded slightly.

"Have a safe journey, Brother Qilin."

"Your Origin, this Gu will accept it gladly."

The next moment, a terrifying black light descended, instantly engulfing Qilin Zi's figure.

"We greet the Master!"

"We greet the Master!"

When the three Great Sages who had finished fighting saw Gu Changge's appearance, they all descended one after the other and spoke respectfully from behind him.

They were all puppets left by the Ancient Heavenly Deity of Reincarnation for Ye Ling.

But now Gu Changge had recreated them to become his puppets instead.

Gu Changge closed his eyes slightly but didn't speak.

Qilin Zi's talent was truly unique, being able to predict the future and seek out fortune while avoiding all misfortune.

Only, his strength hadn't advanced to the point where he could actually predict the future.

Otherwise, it would've been impossible for Gu Changge to kill him so easily.

"Let's go."

Afterwards, Gu Changge felt that the Black Dao Bottle had finished devouring, and he opened his eyes.

Seeking fortune and avoiding misfortune was of little use to him.

What he valued was the ability to predict the future.

After all, he had studied and cultivated the power of time, and the Samsara Talent also involved the passage of time.

The ability to predict the future would give him wings.

However, with his current strength, he couldn't use it just yet.

Gu Changge estimated that he would have to break through to the Great Sacred Realm before he would be able to use it.

He then set out to find the second target on his list, in the All-Devouring Battlefield.

An Ancient Freak of the Kingdom of Eternal Flame who had been sealed away until now.

Yan Ying, a Mid-Stage Quasi-Sacred Realm cultivator, with a Flame Devouring Talent.

Gu Changge's main intention was to see the difference between his Devouring Arts and Yan Ying's Flames Devouring Talent.

— — —

[A few days later.]

Everything was calm on the huge All-Devouring Battlefield, and nothing major had happened.

In the past few days, there were several other places where new All-Devouring Battlefields were discovered, and many youngsters from outside rushed in.

Youngsters from far away also rushed to this place, including Yue Mingkong.

It's just that the battlefield she went to wasn't where Gu Changge was.

Meanwhile, the entire Profound Heaven became more and more hectic.

— — —

[Outside World]

Inside a pavilion, a group of terrified creatures knelt on the ground, their backs wet with cold sweat, not daring to lift their heads.

"The Young Master's soul lamp has gone out."

"We're all going to die!"

In front of them was an old man with a clear face, but his expression was gloomy, unsightly, and extremely enraged.

There was uneasiness, panic, and even fear.

He was Qilin Zi's guardian.

He did not follow Qilin Zi into the All-Devouring Battlefield, because the True Immortal Academy has a rule that points must be earned solely with one's own strength.

That's why he chose to wait outside.

Instead of waiting for Qilin Zi's return, what greeted them was the news of Qilin Zi's death that came from the clan.

The news hit him like a thunderbolt, paralyzing him for a while.

Why did Qilin Zi, who had all sorts of life-saving means, die in the All-Devouring Battlefield?

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Whatever the reason, I can't escape the blame, and neither can you."

"At this moment, I can only hope that the Young Master is only in danger inside the All-Devouring Battlefield and not dead..."

The old man, his face extremely pale, nearly overturned the place with his terrifying aura.

Soon, he disregarded the rules of the True Immortal Academy and forced his way into the All-Devouring Battlefield.

The news of Qilin Zi's death could no longer be suppressed, and it swept through the All-Devouring Battlefield and the Profound Heaven, causing an earthquake.

Hearing this news, countless cultivators were shocked and horrified, and their souls were chilled.

Qilin Zi was a well-known Ancient Freak, and many people believed he was capable of competing with Gu Changge and others.

But now, he had fallen in the All-Devouring Battlefield.

The sensation caused by this matter was too terrible!

In a flash, countless speculations arose.

Many youngsters who had already entered the All-Devouring Battlefield were even more disturbed and frightened.

["Prince Ying, you murderer!"]

And soon, Qilin Zi's guardian led people to the area where the big battle took place.

There, he perceived the fluctuations left by Qilin Zi's secret technique.

This was a secret technique that only the Qilin Clan could perceive.

At that moment, the old man Qing Di's complexion darkened and his eyes turned red.

"Heavenly Emperor's Mountain, you dare to murder my Young Master, this vengeance will never be forgotten!"

His enraged roar and terrifying fluctuations shook the entire area, even the few oldies who trailed him remained silent.

If it was not the doing of Prince Ying.

Why would Qilin Zi leave such a final message?

They were unaware of the Qilin Clan's secret techniques, but it was clear that if there was no evidence, Qilin Zi's guardian wouldn't have said such a thing.

After all, they could not be so stupid as to offend the Heavenly Emperor's Mountain.

No matter how powerful the Qilin Clan was, they were still weak in front of the Heavenly Emperor's Mountain.

Following that, a large number of powerful individuals arrived to investigate the area.

However, they discovered that the other party was extremely cautious, obliterating all traces of aura and leaving nothing distinguishable.

But it appeared that they did not expect Qilin Zi to leave such a final message.

And very quickly, this incident caused a sensation throughout the entire All-Devouring Battlefield, leaving everyone shocked, uneasy, and terrified.

Prince Ying, the biggest suspect of being the Forbidden Arts' Inheritor.

Qilin Zi's murderer... was most likely him!

Based on all the signs, the possibility of him striking and killing Qilin Zi was indeed very high.

But many people recall Prince Ying's humiliating defeat a few days ago at the hands of the Human Ancestor Hall descendant. Could it be that he was truly feigning weakness at the time?

Was it just a trick to make the enemy lower their guard so he could take them by surprise?

Then, a few days later, the second major event occurred, causing a sensation no different than the fall of Qilin Zi.

Yan Ying, an Ancient Freak of the Kingdom of Eternal Flame, also fell in the All-Devouring Battlefield.

She died in a manner similar to Qilin Zi.

However, no evidence was left behind on the battlefield, and there was no way to find the culprit.

These two incidents, like an earthquake, nearly threw the entire All-Devouring Battlefield into disarray.

The uproar caused by the sensations caused countless people to be horrified and frightened.

Many young beings who entered the All-Devouring Battlefield felt uneasy, everyone was in danger, and no one knew if they would be the next target.

— — —

[Atop a mountain]

"How dare Ying Shuang strike so openly? Does he really think that his plan is seamless?"

"Or is he simply not afraid of being exposed..."

Ye Langtian, Ye Liuli, Wang Wushuang, Chi Ling and others were silent, their hearts trembling.

The news of the past few days really shocked and disturbed them.

They had always thought that Ying Shuang was the biggest suspect of being the Forbidden Arts' Inheritor. Now that such a significant event had occurred on the All-Devouring Battlefield, it was possible to say that it was inextricably linked to him.

At this time, what will Ying Shuang's stance be?

Continue to pretend? Or tear off the mask and declare war on the world?

It made them shudder.

With two Ancient Freaks already fallen, no one knew if they would be the next victim.

"In addition to Ying Shuang, there is another Forbidden Arts' Inheritor..."

Ye Langtian was even more uneasy.

— — —

[At the same time, on a deserted plain]

"You keep claiming it's me, but has anyone seen me make a move? I've been nearly inseparable from my sister and the others these past few days."

"Where did you get the evidence that I killed Qilin Zi?"

The Heavenly Emperor's Mountain group, who were attempting to kill the All-Devouring Spirits for the True Immortal Academy's quota, were stopped by the Qilin Zi's guardian, as well as many creatures of the Qilin Clan.

Ying Shuang stood in front of the old man Qing Di and asked calmly, showing no signs of fear.

He had no idea why the blame was inexplicably put on his head, and why the other party was insisting that he had killed Qilin Zi.

He'd also heard about the two major incidents that had occurred on the All-Devouring Battlefield recently, as if they were staged by someone to splash dirty water on him.

But he didn't expect the Qilin Clan to be so certain that he had killed Qilin Zi.

However, although Ying Shuang was very disturbed, he also knew that he couldn't show the slightest flaws at that moment.

Otherwise, he would firmly be solidified as the scapegoat.

So he argued vehemently. After all, Ying Yu and the others could testify that he had never even taken half a step away from his group.

So where did he have the time and opportunity to kill Qilin Zi?

Not to mention whether he had that strength, which was uncertain even at this moment.

This made Ying Shuang extremely aggrieved and angry, but there was nothing he could do.

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't admit it."

"Isn't that why you are so calm and confident?"

The old man Qing Di sneered and became increasingly furious.

In his opinion, Ying Shuang's attitude indicated that he was unconcerned. He was confident that they wouldn't be able to provide any evidence, so he didn't panic.

"If you're going to frame me like this, at least provide evidence."

"I've been with my Heavenly Emperor's Mountain's people for a while; who saw me make a move?"

"You can ask the people behind me!"

Ying Shuang frowned, trying to maintain his composure.

But at this moment, even Ying Yu's and the others behind him changed their expressions, referring to what Gu Changge had said some time ago.

Ying Shuang's action dragged the entire Heavenly Emperor's Mountain into the muddy waters.

As a result, even Ying Yu and the others chose to remain silent and became wary of Ying Shuang in their hearts.

After all, what happened last time at the Ancient Immortal Gu Family's house showed that Ying Shuang had other options.

He could've sent someone else to do his bidding.

So, even if he didn't take action himself, he still had other ways.

It was precisely because of this that he was so calm and confident.

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the Heavenly Emperor's Mountain behind you and your father is the Heavenly Emperor. Let me tell you, as a Forbidden Arts' Inheritor, you will become the enemy of the entire world sooner or later!"

The old man Qing Di's aura was extremely cold; he had already torn his face with Ying Shuang, and he was close to taking him down with a single strike.

Right then, Ying Shuang's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Everyone from the Heavenly Emperor's Mountain behind him seemed to be suspicious of him as well?

How could that be?

He obviously did nothing!

"I will suppress you today and bring you back to my Qilin Clan to be dealt with!"

"And bring justice to my Young Master."

After the old man Qing Di spoke, his eyes turned cold, and he struck at Ying Shuang, his Sacred Realm cultivation erupted to suppress and take him down.

Ying Shuang's expression changed, as he felt the terrible oppression, but inside his Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Soul Weapon, which had never changed, suddenly appeared bright and radiant.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted in the area!

The power transcended the Sacred Realm, as if a Supreme Existence was being resurrected, attempting to break through everything.

"How come..."

"This is..."

This scene caused the old man Qing Di's expression to change dramatically, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

— — —

Feeling that Ying Shuang's Fortune Value was plummeting like an avalanche.

Gu Changge, who had vanished for a while, reappeared from the entrance of the All-Devouring Battlefield, drawing the attention of many cultivators.

The smile on the corner of his mouth was intriguing.

"It seems something extraordinary has occurred during the time I was away."

Hearing his almost muttered words.

A Daughter of Heaven gathered all her courage and approached him, with her face flushed and nervous.

Her voice was stammering and trembling, "Young Master Changge, s-something big has r-really happened..."

Then she informed Gu Changge about what had occurred while he was 'gone'.

In her opinion, Gu Changge was someone who had once fought against a Forbidden Arts' Inheritor and severely injured it.

Now, he was the only one who could make people feel at ease.

Gu Changge listened with a slight smile on his face, then his expression gradually became serious, and he sighed slightly at the end.

"Brother Qilin... Heavenly Maiden Yan Ying, I had heard of both of them. I thought they would be good competitors, and that I would have the opportunity to compete with them in the future."

"I didn't expect to hear such bad news."

"Thank you for telling me."

Then he shook his head, took a step forward, and disappeared.

"Young Master Changge is truly as gentle as jade, humble and polite as the rumors..."

"His strength is obviously much greater than Qilin Zi and Yan Ying, yet he still said as such."

"After Young Master Changge returns to the All-Devouring Battlefield, the Forbidden Arts' Inheritor should be cautious for a while..."

The Daughter of Heaven watched Gu Changge leave with admiration in her eyes.

Many of the Young Genius around her grew envious of her but still admired her - daring to initiate a conversation with Gu Changge.

They didn't have the guts.

Soon after, word spread that Gu Changge had reappeared on the All-Devouring Battlefield.

All the members of the younger generation were overcome with joy and breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had found their backbone.

Gu Changge first summoned his followers before heading to the area where Ying Shuang was.

In the eyes of many people, it appeared that he was going to seek justice for the two fallen Ancient Freaks!
