Chapter 247: Heavenly Human Tremors

Xuan Dao suddenly felt a bit of regret for his breakthrough.

One wave had not yet subsided, and another rose.

The Space Vibration Point had not been completely resolved, and the aristocratic families had only temporarily retreated, but immediately after, news arrived that a Great Demon had emerged, performing a Blood Sacrifice on an entire county, its Terror infinite.

Originally, he had become somewhat numb to such facts.

He could only say one thing: Oh, what bad luck.

After all, last night, they had traveled to various parts of Beijun to suppress Space Vibration Points, and he did not know how many human tragedies he had witnessed. So even if a county was about to be finished now, he did not feel much of a stir.

Naturally, he naturally possessed the heart to protect the borders and bring peace to the people.

But this could only be done within the limits of his ability.

As for what was beyond his ability?

Then he had no way; this concubine cannot do it.

However, just because he was not stirred did not mean others were not.

And so, Lie Dangkong dragged him along to suppress it.

"Hurry up, you brat, that is no ordinary Great Demon!"

The two flew through the sky above Beijun, rapidly heading toward the place where that Great Demon was located. At this moment, Lie Dangkong felt Xuan Dao's flying speed was too slow and somewhat dawdling, so he said coldly.

Xuan Dao heard this and was somewhat puzzled.

"Then what is the origin of this Great Demon, that it could earn such an extraordinary reputation from you?"

He was well aware of Lie Dangkong's arrogance; previously, when facing those four aristocratic family Dharma Aspects, he had looked at them as if they were mere clay chickens and pottery dogs, not taking those four in his eyes at all.

Yet now, he attached such importance to this Great Demon?

"Could it be that it is in the Heavenly Human Realm?" Xuan Dao joked.

"Hmph, if it were merely the Heavenly Human Realm, that would be fine."

Lie Dangkong's words were shocking; in any case, Xuan Dao was shocked.

What did he mean by "merely the Heavenly Human Realm would be fine"?

If it were truly a Great Demon of the Heavenly Human Realm, would Beijun not be finished immediately? Even if they rushed over, they would just be delivering themselves as food. Could it be that there was some Great Demon even more terrifying than the Heavenly Human Realm?

"I suspect that Great Demon is a member of the Sunset Organization."

Lie Dangkong said calmly.

"Then the old man is talking about the Sunset Organization?"

Xuan Dao was surprised, then smiled with relief.

"I thought it was something terrifying; it turns out to be just such a thing. Old Man Lie, please rest assured, that Sunset Organization was previously suppressed by me, the Demon Exterminator, and that so-called person in charge of Beijun, a Great Demon, was only at the Innate Realm."

He waved his hand and let out a sigh of relief.

"What do you know, you brat? This Sunset Organization drifts outside the Zhuzhu Dynasty; is the hidden foundation and strength within it as simple as what you saw before?" Lie Dangkong sneered.

"You think the Sunset Organization is easy to deal with? As far as I know, a person in charge of a province or county for the Sunset Organization is at least a Dharma Aspect. Still Innate? That might just be because they hadn't sent anyone to Beijun. But now they have sent someone, and this also means that those Mice in the gutter have set their sights on Beijun, set their sights on this disaster-ridden place!"

Lie Dangkong's expression was gloomy.

There was one more thing he had not told Xuan Dao.

Back then, in order to seek the path forward for the Great Sun Path, he had traveled far to other countries and had provoked this Sunset Organization quite a bit. He estimated that when enemies met, their eyes would be especially red, and a world-shaking battle would be inevitable.

"Then you yourself called them gutter Mice."

Xuan Dao said speechlessly.

"Many gutter Mice can also bite a person to death. Alright, hurry up, otherwise many more people will die." Lie Dangkong glanced at Xuan Dao and suddenly accelerated, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles to become chaotic.

Wuhua County, the county name was taken from "the treasures of the earth and the brilliance of the heavens."

In the past, this county was just like its name—full of treasures and brilliant, with rich produce and various natural treasures that helped practitioners cultivate, and it also gave birth to many outstanding people.

A hundred years ago, it even produced a top scholar and a prince consort.

However, that was already a thing of the past.

Now, this county had already been reduced to a living hell.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and corpses covered the ground.

The sound of flames, the sound of buildings collapsing—if there were still living people here, they would immediately be suffocated by the smell of burning permeating the air.

"My Lord, how is this gift?"

The former person in charge of Beijun, the Red Demon Envoy, knelt half-way on the ground, bowing his head respectfully, and spoke to this behemoth in front of him.

"Average, the quantity is too small."

"The quality is decent, though; it lives up to being wild humans."

This behemoth spoke with a laugh.

"Hm? Such a powerful aura, two of them."

"Interesting, interesting. It seems to be human experts; I will go and meet them." He stood up, pulled up a long-shaped mountain peak from the surroundings, and swung it casually, using it as a weapon.

At this time, Seng Daoke entered the Xilie Wangfu in a daze.

He was now a bit curious: who was this "Young Master" the maid spoke of? Could it be the variable the Great Elder spoke of, his fated person? But how did that Young Master know he was coming here?

Outside, he had not felt any prying.

Or was it that this Young Master's strength far surpassed his own?

However, it stood to reason that if he could be called a variable by the Great Elder, and the Great Elder even hoped this variable could resolve the distorted will, then this variable must certainly be very strong.

Could it be a Heavenly Human expert?

Holding this thought, he followed the guidance of the maid in front, walking through twists and turns, and finally arrived in a courtyard, where he saw a young master standing in the courtyard.

Seng Daoke immediately frowned.

Could this be that variable, the fated person?

But why is the strength so weak? What happened to the promised Heavenly Human powerhouse? Moreover, whether in appearance or temperament, this young master is far inferior to Li Jushi.

If this really is the one.

Can he truly bear the heavy trust of the Great Elder?

However, he quickly reined in these thoughts. He still understood the most basic principle of not judging a book by its cover. It was just that this had instantly lowered his expectations.

In fact, Xiao Hao was also vaguely puzzled on his end.

Could the most favorable future for himself...

... be to keep company with a monk?

Did the Heavenly Secret Platform make a mistake?

He certainly did not want to become a monk.

Furthermore, was the look in this monk's eyes just now a bit off? It seemed as if he were comparing him to someone else, and it seemed as if he had lost the comparison, which made him feel vaguely uncomfortable.

This young master is like jade among men, a peerless young master.

How could he have ever lost?

"Master, I wonder what business you have standing before my door for so long?" However, he also knew not to judge by appearance, so he said politely on the surface, though he felt some resentment in his heart.

"To seek a fated person."

The monk-guest pressed his palms together and said with a smile.

Although he felt that Li Jushi was the fated person.

And in that Cave Heaven Ruins, which was like a Gu Zhanchang.

A wild wind howled, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

This was the wrath of Heaven, the movement of Heaven, possessing unfathomable divine might.

The terrifying pressure of Heaven suddenly blanketed the entire scene.

The distorted will was ecstatic in its heart.

He was saved!

Little did he know that Li Heng was smiling slightly in his heart.

This kind of protagonist-style burst before death was already within his expectations. In fact, he had secretly guided this event to happen, letting the distorted will regain contact with the eyes in the sky.

This was not Li Heng being arrogant or seeking death.

Rather, what he wanted to kill was not a thing that had been downgraded to a human, but the distorted sub-will of Heaven. A human would not drop Source Power, but the distorted sub-will of Heaven absolutely would drop a massive amount.

Therefore, he had to let this distorted will reconnect with the status of Heaven. And now was the timing he had been waiting for. To regain the status and power, yet not fully regain the status and power—this was the perfect moment to slay it!

One might even say.

That this distorted will being able to regain power at this critical juncture was the result of Li Heng holding back, slightly weakening the dosage of the Causal Poison. Otherwise, how could it be so easy for him to communicate with power?

This was, after all, Causal Poison he had created using Source Power.

One hundred percent reliable, it would not go wrong.

Unless the error was intentional.

However, in his ecstasy, the distorted will did not realize at all that the timing of his power recovery was too coincidental. He only felt that the high and mighty Heaven finally could not stand to watch, or perhaps that he had exhausted all his strength and could indeed break this mortal's methods.

His heart was flooded with infinite ecstasy.

He looked at the great broadsword swinging toward his head and laughed loudly.

"You..."

Before the word "finished" could be spoken, the great broadsword fell in response, slicing through the distorted will's neck as easily as a knife through tofu, and the head fell to the ground.

Immediately following, the God-Slaying property of the great broadsword manifested.

Following the Causality, along the Fate.

It extended the result of this strike—the head falling and life dissipating—to those huge blood-colored eyes in the firmament. Instantly, the winds and clouds changed above the Nine Heavens, and in the vast sound of the wind, one could even hear a faint roar, a roar after being wounded.

The blood-colored eyes in the sky were wounded.

A huge blade mark slashed across the eyes, forming a shocking wound, from which dark red blood dripped, spilling over the entire Cave Heaven Fudi ruins, turning it into a sea of blood.

Li Heng frowned and looked up, ignoring the environment around him that was undergoing fleshly distortion due to being polluted by the blood. Although this strike of his had wounded the blood-colored eyes, it had actually failed to kill them?

He could not help but shake his head helplessly and sigh.

It seems he was too greedy after all.

He held the great broadsword high.

Because this great broadsword had cut through the body of that distorted will, it was considered to have been stained with high-level stuff similar to divine blood; at this moment, it was dark red all over and extremely ferocious.

Li Heng shook his head; it seemed it would have to become a consumable item. He had originally wanted to use it as a long-term weapon, but it seemed he had thought too much.

He flicked the blade with his finger; the blade vibrated slightly, emitting a humming sound, and the fierce might contained within began to boil and surge, vaguely revealing a ferocious phantom.

His gaze aimed at those huge blood-colored eyes.

He took aim and threw it with force.

The great broadsword shot out, shattering the space in front, arriving in an instant, reaching the front of the blood-colored eyes almost immediately, and plunging deeply into the pupil of the blood-colored eyes.

Then the power within it erupted with a boom!

At this moment in the outside world, in the Present World.

In many dynasties and the hidden places of many Forbidden Zones.

Many Heavenly Human powerhouses who had fallen into silence to resist the erosion suddenly woke up and looked up at the sky. What was going on? The commotion just now, could it be...

How could this be possible!?

They looked toward the north of Great Li in unison, lost in thought.
