Chapter 394: Decaying Supreme

Su Ping also noticed the Qiuniu Jade Seal and the small three-legged tripod that were causing ripples in space.

He also felt the longing within the Sun Moon Star Chart for these Artifacts involving spatial divine abilities.

"It's not easy to make a move; I am, after all, a righteous person."

"Furthermore, the other party seems to have an extraordinary background; they are likely key figures within the Three Great Alliances."

"And the use of these Artifacts this time should be related to the reappearance of Decay."

"Involving the Dark Catastrophe, I may not be helping, but at the very least, I shouldn't be a hindrance."

Su Ping suppressed the longing of the Sun Moon Star Chart.

The Juru Daoren beside him, however, suddenly exclaimed:

"Something's wrong! This is not right!"

"My Lord! Please, quickly take action to provide a warning!"

"Once Decay is unleashed, it will inevitably lead to another scene of devastation!"

Su Ping looked at this Juru Daoren, Golden Light flashing in his eyes.

He could not see any problem even with his Dharma Eye, yet this Juru Daoren beside him, who at best appeared to be at the Nascent Soul Realm, could detect that something was wrong.

Heh! And he even dared to claim he was just an ordinary, unlucky merchant.

The Juru Daoren also knew Su Ping was suspicious, and gritted his teeth:

"The situation is urgent, please, My Lord, take action... Afterwards, this little one will tell you everything he knows without reservation."

Su Ping took out a purple Talisman, and after channeling Dharma Power to ignite it.

An extremely condensed Divine Soul immediately flew out from the Talisman, escaping ten thousand miles away in the blink of an eye, approaching the opposing Immortal Boat Fleet.

Those Daoists also sensed the arrival of this Divine Soul the very first moment.

The lead Daoist even learned the message brought by the other party through the disciples left behind on the Immortal Boat.

"Something's wrong?"

"What could be wrong?"

The lead Daoist frowned slightly, initially not wanting to pay attention, but then remembered the repeated warnings from his Master and the Sect Master.

He retrieved the Qiuniu Jade Seal to his front, then gripped the jade seal with both hands and placed it against his chest.

With the aid of the Artifact.

The lead Daoist's eyes flickered with a faint green light.

What he saw and heard changed accordingly.

Only after seeing the true appearance of the surrounding space clearly.

This lead Daoist was greatly shocked, almost crying out in alarm.

It turned out that with the help of the Artifact, the lead Daoist saw that the Shikong Haiyu they were in had, at some unknown time, been shrouded by a green phantom whose specific image was hard to discern, but which he subconsciously felt was terrifying and horrific.

Whether it was the junior brothers and sisters beside him, or the disciples left behind deep within the massive palace in the rear.

Behind each of them, a green phantom, twisted in every way, had emerged and was clinging to them.

Yet everyone, including himself, was completely unaware.

"When exactly did this..."

Recalling the various speculations of the sect regarding the Dark Catastrophe of Decay.

Beyond his sorrow, the lead Daoist harbored a resolve to die.

It was not that he did not want to pretend he knew nothing, finish the Seal quickly, and flee the scene.

To hope for a chance that nothing would happen?

But as a true disciple carefully cultivated by the sect.

His friends and family all lived and cultivated under the sect.

Plus the teachings he had received for a thousand years.

At the critical moment, this senior brother in the eyes of everyone still withstood the test and did not choose to flee.

Instead, he decided on self-sacrifice, preparing to use the Artifact to seal everyone at the scene, including his junior brothers and sisters, as well as the space itself.

He was determined not to let the pollution of Decay truly spread and become a great disaster.

And as for the mysterious force that warned him.

The lead Daoist conveyed a message: Thank you.

Then he said: I am sorry, you also have the possibility of being polluted by Decay, I cannot let you go...

At the lead Daoist's command.

A palace Immortal Boat emitted a white light, and immediately following, a piercing beam of light was fired directly at the Biyuan World!

This made the Juru Daoren who saw this scene first stunned, then he actually revealed an expression of gratification.

"This disciple is a sensible one."

Su Ping, however, chuckled lightly and struck out with the Five-Colored Divine Light toward the front.

The beam of light had just approached the Biyuan World when it was struck by the Five-Colored Divine Light.

It was immediately pierced at the front by the Five-Colored Divine Light, which submerged into its depths.

Then, after only a few breaths, the beam of light, which appeared to have considerable power, completely dissipated into the Void.

"That is... the Five-Colored Divine Light?"

The lead Daoist saw this scene and revealed an expression of astonishment.

Several junior brothers and sisters beside him who did not yet know the severity of the matter gathered around.

Their eyes flickered with greed:

"Senior Brother, we can tell at a glance that those people from the Small World are not good people!"

"It is either an evil cultivator or a demon!"

"Why not dispatch one or two Immortal Boats to capture it, then bring it back to the sect for disposal!"

The leading Daoist gave a cold snort, not daring to tell his junior brothers and sisters the truth.

He merely ordered the Immortal Boats behind him to deploy their trump card.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand-meter-long great sword made of white light condensed and then thrust out!

This great white light sword also utilized the power of the Artifact, the Qiuniu Jade Seal.

In the blink of an eye, it crossed a long distance and appeared less than a hundred kilometers outside the Biyuan World.

This was the ultimate technique of the Dao Alliance's Heavenly Star Sect, the Heavenly Light God-Slaying Sword.

Using the Immortal Boats as a base, supported by tens of thousands of disciples at the Golden Core stage or above.

The Heavenly Light God-Slaying Sword formed in this way was enough to pierce the main earth vein of a Small World with a single strike.

And then destroy that Small World completely.

However, Su Ping was not without Artifacts in his hands.

He hadn't even activated the divine light of the Jianmu Divine Tree to broaden the other party's horizons.

Su Ping directly threw out the Heaven-Turning Seal and the Grand Void Wheel.

Artifacts produced by the Great World were of high quality, even when placed in the Shikong Haiyu.

The moment the great white light sword emerged, its tip and hilt were knocked off by the two Artifacts.

The entire light sword subsequently collapsed and exploded.

The aftermath of the explosion heading toward the Biyuan World was also completely absorbed by the Grand Void Wheel in a flash.

This scene already made those junior brothers and sisters who had been greedy all turn solemn at once.

To have an Artifact, and not just one.

The other party's background was likely not small either.

The leading Daoist no longer continued to attack, but instead gave a bitter smile in his heart.

Then, this Daoist's eyelids suddenly twitched.

He noticed that a junior brother beside him, whose cultivation was second only to his own, already had green patterns appearing on his face.

At the same time, a smell of Decay emerged from every cell in his body, making the leading Daoist feel an urge to vomit.

Yet, apart from him, no one else felt that anything was wrong.

Even... under divine sense observation.

This leading Daoist also saw those low-cultivation disciples inside the Immortal Boat palace.

Some of them had their lower bodies already melted into a mass of green sludge.

Yet they were still chatting and laughing with the people next to them.

"Cannot wait any longer!"

"I only hope that Small World hasn't been contaminated."

The leading Daoist sighed and activated the Qiuniu Jade Seal in his hand.

At the same time, he didn't even dare to send a message to his master.

He was terrified that this would cause the contamination to spread there.

"Imprison!"

The leading Daoist gave a low shout, and the spiritual energy pools of each Immortal Boat dried up one after another.

The spatial ripples produced by the Qiuniu Jade Seal suddenly paused.

Then, the space in the expanded area began to solidify as if it had been frozen.

Crack, crack, crack!

Accompanied by mysterious sounds.

Su Ping could see that the entire area of the Shikong Haiyu with the emerald green halo seemed to have turned into a large, pale blue block of ice!

After the large ice block formed, even just by looking at it, one could feel a certain bone-chilling coldness striking out.

Juru Daoren looked at the large ice block and first breathed a sigh of relief, but then became terrified:

"No, the smell is still there... My Lord, I fear we have also been contaminated!"

"For the sake of billions of living beings... please, My Lord, go to your death!"

No sooner had Juru Daoren finished speaking than he was slapped away by a suddenly appearing blood-colored giant hand.

Then, while flying in mid-air, he was grabbed by the giant hand, which had arrived first despite being launched later, and after blood-colored light was infused into him, the Juru Daoren screamed in pain repeatedly.

Su Ping sighed softly; if possible, he did not want to provoke this kind of trouble.

But now.

There was no other way; he didn't seek trouble, but trouble seemed to follow him closely.

Su Ping's heart stirred, and the phantom of the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor appeared above the Biyuan World.

The Demon-Subduing green light shone in all directions.

Immediately, a sizzling sound rang out.

Vaguely, it seemed possible to hear the painful wailing of billions of aged human voices.

Su Ping twitched his lips; he had left so far away, only because the other party had attacked him.

And his side of the Shikong Haiyu had already been contaminated.

Could this be considered a relatively slow and controllable spread of contamination within the Dark Catastrophe?

Is it that the spatial scale in the eyes of the big shots is different?

Or has there been a new development on the side of Decay?

Or perhaps it is both?

As Su Ping pondered, Juru Daoren, held in the giant hand, stared blankly at the phantom of the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor.

With a face full of disbelief, he kept muttering to himself:

"How is this possible? How could a Great Ability's divine ability restrain the pollution of Decay?"

"Impossible! It must be that my Divine Soul has been polluted, and I am seeing hallucinations!"

Juru Daoren kept whispering.

Su Ping, feeling somewhat uneasy, drank a bottle of Purification Potion.

Feeling that the Purification Potion had no effect, hmm... this actually proved that the Demon-Subduing Azure Light had indeed cleared the pollution.

Sure enough, in terms of status, the big shots behind the companions of Pot Heaven are no worse than those Dark Catastrophe big shots.

When Su Ping set his mind at ease.

He discovered that cracks had appeared on the large ice block in the distance.

Normally, this large ice block should have been sucked into the Qiuniu Jasper.

Making that polluted Shikong Haiyu cease to exist in this space-time.

Yet he had not expected the ice block to crack at this moment.

And the cracks were visibly becoming denser.

And after a few breaths...

Crack! It shattered!

The shattered ice block melted and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The emerald halo re-emerged and was vaguely a circle larger.

The leading Daoist holding the Qiuniu Jasper now only had hands that were still normal while gripping the Artifact.

The rest of his body had turned into soft mud, the whole person looking as ridiculous as plasticine that had been kneaded at random.

However, he was still clear-headed, possessed consciousness, and was whispering about what was going on.

Sigh!

At this moment, a sigh appeared.

Then, a red paper figure the size of a normal person popped out, let out a series of cackles, and stared at the leading Daoist:

"Senior brother, the biggest reason is simply because you all underestimated the Supreme of Decay."

"You actually really thought that by relying on that bit of meager power, you could seal the Supreme's great power."

"You succeeded in the past only because the Supreme let you succeed."

"Give up resistance and become a believer of the Supreme with me."

"The Supreme is about to wake up; join us and let every place the eye can see turn into a land of Decay!"

"In this way, we shall be reborn in Decay and become new gods in Decay!"

"You are crazy... the Dark Catastrophe has never lacked madmen like you."

"It's just a pity that not one of the Dark Catastrophe will ever truly treat their subordinates well... because they simply don't need or care about you bunch of madmen."

The leading Daoist looked at the red paper figure, this former junior brother of his, with some pity.

He knew this must be the mutation that occurred after the other party was polluted by Decay.

It was just that the monsters that caused the Dark Catastrophe were all chaotic and insane, their joys and angers relying entirely on instinct.

Otherwise, with the great power of those monsters.

If they were even slightly normal, how would Shikong Haiyu dare to call them a Dark Catastrophe.

They would likely have to address them as the Lord of such-and-such Domain or such-and-such Supreme.

They would probably have to queue up to give gifts normally.

But reality is cruel; everyone is able to work together so concertedly in the face of the Dark Catastrophe, isn't it because after so many tests, they discovered that the other party simply does not accept surrender?

The red-clothed paper figure cackled, seemingly not hearing the Daoist's words.

After confirming that the other party was impossible to collude with, the paper figure struck and instantly snatched away the Qiuniu Jasper.

Losing the protection of the Artifact, the leading Daoist's eyes immediately lost their luster.

Subsequently, including his hands, he turned into a lump of rotten mud.

The red-clothed paper figure snatched the Artifact and looked toward the direction of Biyuan World.

Then, it seemed to notice that that area had not been polluted by the power of Decay.

The red-clothed paper figure revealed an expression of rage and suddenly rushed over.

"..."

"Is this never-ending?"

"Hmm, this guy brought both of those Artifacts on his body?"

Su Ping first muttered in dissatisfaction, then discovered the divine light of the space Artifact on the red-clothed paper figure.

Su Ping immediately turned to smile.

Swish!

The Sun Moon Star Chart was summoned by Su Ping.

The Huijuan unfolded to form a Barrier, ensuring at the first moment that the red-clothed paper figure could not escape.

Then, the phantom of the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor met it head-on.

A sword light slashed out.

The red-clothed paper figure let out a miserable shriek, its left hand along with a large swath of space shattering.

At the same time, hundreds of Purple Light Thunder Foxes emerged from all directions.

The strength of these Thunder Light Foxes accumulated by the Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura has also reached the Sixth Realm due to the Shrine Maiden's improvement.

Although they cannot reach the vast supernatural powers of the Fox God phantom.

By sacrificing the duration of the ultimate move, Heavenly Thunder.

They can summon lightning equivalent to a full-strength strike from a late-stage Sixth Realm expert.

Furthermore, this lightning carries the power to exorcise evil and slay demons.

It also possesses a restraining effect against the power of Decay!

Hundreds of bolts of lightning fell in unison at the very first moment.

The red-clothed paper figure was not afraid at first, even though he could only activate less than one layer of the power of the Artifact on his body.

He had the Yuanling of Decay to protect his body.

That inexplicable slash just now was only an accident that he couldn't block, but facing these bolts of lightning before him, surely...

Ahhhhh!

Under the lightning, the one-armed red-clothed paper figure let out a miserable scream.

Sizzling sounds also emitted from his body.

"No, impossible!"

"How could the power bestowed upon me by the Supreme disappear!"

The red-clothed paper figure kept screaming, enduring another bombardment of lightning.

Su Ping watched the opponent, also secretly surprised.

Su Ping could see that the opponent's original cultivation was only at the early stage of Return to Void.

But after receiving the blessing of the power of Decay.

He actually withstood the combined attack of an enemy a hundred times stronger, and the power of the combined attack was even a counter to his side.

Those who can be called a Dark Catastrophe are indeed not simple.

Just in case, Su Ping chose to save the Divine Power of the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor and did not continue to let the Emperor take action.

Instead, he extended his right index finger and tapped lightly.

Immediately, a Talisman stained with Su Ping's blood appeared and then flashed past.

It appeared in front of the red-clothed paper figure that had just been ravaged by lightning once again.

After sticking to the opponent's body.

Swish!

First, a black hole appeared, as if trapping the opponent in a tiny space.

Then, very quickly, in zero point zero zero one seconds, from nothingness.

The super-large yield Nuclear Bomb inside that black hole space exploded within the tiny space!
