Chapter 270: Let You All... Go to Your Deaths (A Combined Chapter)

"What is going on?"

"What has happened?"

Countless martial artists were shocked; the events before their eyes exceeded their expectations.

"Oh no, my Qi and blood have vanished."

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and the expressions of many martial artists changed drastically.

They examined themselves, only to discover that their strength was hollow, with nothing remaining.

"This must be a conspiracy by the people of the Foreign Lands!"

"The Holy Emperor is in danger, the Holy Dynasty is in danger!"

At this moment, the Nan'er Sea had gathered almost all the powerful martial artists in the world.

All the Innate Experts of the entire Holy Dynasty were gathered here.

At this time, did the Innate Experts also... lose their Qi and blood?

This was terrifying.

It was likely that the world was about to change.

Everyone felt uneasy in their hearts.

High above the mountain, Lin Chao's gaze was deep: "This is definitely an Immortal Dao treasure, cutting off the connection between heaven and earth, and its grade... is very high."

Lin Chao's gaze was grave.

An Immortal Dao treasure of this grade could not be forged even by an Immortal Venerable.

Although on the surface, it merely cut off the connection between heaven and earth, it was entangled with karma, reaching an unfathomable realm.

"Even for me... the Qi and blood in my body are so weak they are almost invisible; my strength is less than one in ten thousand."

Originally, he was not far from the battlefield, and with his strength, he could have arrived in a few breaths.

Now that the treasure had appeared and the world was isolated, it would take Lin Chao more time to reach the depths of the battlefield.

At this time, in the center of the battlefield, many Innate Experts wore expressions of inexplicable shock.

Especially the two Innate Experts from the Taiyi Sect; the smugness on their faces vanished, replaced by astonishment.

Long ago, they had established contact with the experts from the Foreign Lands, hoping to use the strength of the Foreign Lands during the great war to eliminate the Holy Emperor's forces.

Their plan had been very successful.

Just from the collision moments ago, a staunch supporter of the Holy Emperor's faction, the Qian Shengnyu, an Innate Expert, had already fallen.

This was practically showing their hand.

However, what they had not expected was that before the Qian Shengnyu fell, the Innate Experts of the Holy Emperor's faction had disregarded the Foreign Land experts and launched a sneak attack on them.

It was as if it were not just the Taiyi Sect faction that had connections with the Foreign Lands, but the Holy Emperor's faction as well.

In just one collision, both the Taiyi Sect faction and the Holy Emperor's faction suffered significant injuries.

Of course, overall, the Taiyi Sect still held an absolute advantage.

Although the Foreign Lands retained more power, Mu Xu asked himself, after taking down the Holy Dynasty, they could easily take down the Foreign Lands as well.

Their greatest enemy was the Holy Emperor.

At this moment, there were six Innate Experts standing on the side of the Taiyi Sect faction.

As for the Holy Emperor's faction, excluding the fallen Qian Shengnyu, there were only four, and besides the Holy Emperor, the remaining three Innate Experts were all more or less injured.

Mu Xu had already promised the Foreign Lands that once they assisted in destroying the Holy Emperor's faction, they would help the Foreign Lands reclaim land from the sea and provide supplies, granting them a place to survive.

Yet, Mu Xu and the others, who had just occupied this absolute advantage, had not been happy for long.

They saw that in the Holy Emperor's hand, a black and white intertwined pattern suddenly appeared.

The pattern flew from the Holy Emperor's hand toward the sky.

Within a radius of over ten miles, the connection between heaven and earth was cut off.

All the martial artists lost their strength, becoming like Ordinary people.

Even the Innate Experts were weakened countless times over at this moment.

Mu Xu wore a green Daoist robe, surrounded by five Innate Experts and many other martial artists.

"Holy Emperor, what exactly are you trying to do?"

The Holy Emperor's methods exceeded their expectations.

However, looking at the Innate Experts of the Holy Emperor's faction, including the Holy Emperor, their Innate Power had all dissipated, and like them, their combat power had plummeted.

Thinking of this, Mu Xu still maintained his confidence.

Yusu's gaze was calm; she took a step back, and Xu Xiaojing stepped forward.

The guards of the Huochong Battalion held pitch-black fire guns in their hands, their faces solemn.

These guards separated the Holy Emperor from the other martial artists.

At this moment, Yusu spoke: "Tell me, what would happen if there were no martial artists in the world?"

"Holy Emperor... what is the meaning of this?"

The Innate Expert from Dragon King Mountain also wore a worried expression.

He belonged to the Holy Emperor's faction, but the Holy Emperor's current actions still exceeded their expectations.

Moreover, judging by the Holy Emperor's intent, this method was not meant to betray the Taiyi Sect, but had another purpose.

Yusu's gaze was cold, and the way everyone looked at her changed.

Those generals who trusted her, those Innate Experts, all martial artists, looked at her with suspicion.

Only Xu Xiaojing and the Huochong Battalion under her command, composed of Ordinary people, stood loyally in defense at the front.

At this moment, the Huochong Battalion possessed even greater deterrent power than before.

"Martial artists believe in Innate Gods to obtain power; everyone here must be very clear about this."

The Innate God gave us incomparable power, but all things have a price.

The Innate God parasitizes our bodies, giving us the possibility of becoming martial artists, but it also cuts off our hope for the Immortal Dao; we cannot even achieve a lifespan of a thousand years."

There was a trace of loss in Yusu's voice.

"The martial artists of our entire world are like livestock in the petri dish of a god.

We cultivate Martial Arts, activate our Qi-Blood, and provide power to the Innate God.

Once the Qi-Blood we provide reaches a certain amount.

These Innate Gods will all awaken; when that time comes, where will the future of us humans lie?

If the Qi-Blood Martial Dao of this world were to disappear, if no one provided power to the Innate God anymore, and our bodies were to completely return to normal, what kind of scene would that be?"

Ever since obtaining the Yuan Shi Legacy, Yusu understood that she had her own path to walk.

Even if this path meant standing against the entire world.

But if one does not sweep the old era into the trash heap, how can one usher in a new birth for this world?

This is her only chance, and also the only chance for this world.

If she fails, this world will continue to follow the Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

Living beings will remain ignorant, waiting for the day the Innate God they worship awakens.

At that time, the Spirituality within all living beings will be devoured by the Innate God, becoming a part of the Innate God.

She does not wish to see such a thing happen.

"Shenghuang, don't you think you are overthinking things?" Mu Yun spoke, his gaze steady, "Even if the Innate God awakens, that might be a matter for a thousand or ten thousand years from now; what does it have to do with us?"

Many of the Innate Experts present agreed with Mu Yun's words.

Worrying about things millions of years from now is surely a bit like the man of Qi who feared the sky would fall.

"If we don't follow the Qi-Blood Martial Dao, are we supposed to follow the Immortal Dao?

Even if we cut off the Qi-Blood within our bodies, I fear that we, a group who have cultivated Martial Arts, would be unable to walk the path of the Immortal Dao, right?

So, you are saying that the Shenghuang wants to reduce all the martial artists of the world to commoners and cut off the foundation of our strength?"

Mu Xu's words caused the expressions of the martial artists present to change drastically.

Even those martial artists loyal to the Shenghuang had their expressions change drastically.

Indeed, this move by the Shenghuang was intended to make the Qi-Blood Martial Dao disappear.

Although they did not know exactly how the Shenghuang would eliminate the Qi-Blood Martial Dao, this was something they could not accept.

After all, who would have the heart to let the strength they had worked so hard to cultivate disappear and be reduced to an Ordinary person?

"Shenghuang, think thrice." A martial general of the No Leak Realm spoke; he was a staunch supporter of the Shenghuang.

However, even he could not accept this move by the Shenghuang.

Now, there were many martial artists like him who felt fear in their hearts.

"If you want to cut off the Qi-Blood Martial Dao, I fear that all of us Innate Experts must die.

Shenghuang, do you not even care about these Innate Experts who are loyal to you?"

Mu Yun spoke again, every word piercing the heart.

The Shenghuang's methods had already exceeded his imagination.

Now, he no longer had the confidence to defeat the Shenghuang.

At this moment, he could only unite all forces to pressure the Shenghuang.

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the Innate Experts present shifted slightly.

They naturally knew.

Having become Innate Experts, they were actually already on the same boat as the Innate God.

If the Shenghuang were to succeed, they would undoubtedly die.

Yusu's face bore an indifferent expression.

She knew that even if she won, the descriptions of her in history books would all be malicious words.

After all, Qi-Blood martial artists were the ruling class of this world.

Her move to overthrow all the ruling classes was to stand against the world.

At the same time, it would also hurt many innocent Qi-Blood martial artists.

All their life's hard work would come to nothing.

Yusu knew that her actions were unfair to many people.

What she did was neither right nor wrong.

However, this was her mission.

Since she had chosen it, she could only continue to walk forward.

Otherwise, before long, the living beings of this world would all perish.

Yusu was cold as frost, and there was a trace of regret in her words.

"I ask you all... to die."

"You all" referred to all the Innate Experts.

The hostile Innate Experts, for the time being, would be ignored; she would Slay them all.

What she felt most sorry for were those loyal Innate Experts and those martial artists still climbing the path of Martial Arts.

A cold look appeared on Mu Xu's face: "You want us to die, and then rely on the Huochong Battalion to realize your wolfish ambition?

You are nothing more than a selfish person.

Yusu Shenghuang, look at who this is?"

Just then, a group of armored soldiers stepped forward, escorting a middle-aged man with a hunched back.

The middle-aged man's body was covered in scars, and the depths of his eyes revealed a life weathered by wind and frost.

"Uncle?" Xu Xiaojing's expression changed slightly.

At a single glance, she recognized that middle-aged man; he was unmistakably her uncle.

The face was identical, and the temperament was almost exactly the same.

Her heart was stirred with agitation, yet she was also incomparably furious.

She understood now why the Brocade Guards could never find her uncle; he had been in the hands of the Taiyi Sect all along.

Yusu's expression changed slightly, and a trace of grief flashed through the depths of her eyes.

She had never imagined that the Xu Ling of the past had been captured by the Taiyi Sect because of her.

In her heart, there was heartache, as well as endless guilt.

If she had not become the Yusu Shenghuang, but remained merely an Ordinary person, continuing to serve Xu Ye, perhaps so many things would not have happened.

Xu Ye would not have to suffer such pain now.

"Xu Ye... I'm sorry."

"Yusu Shenghuang, take back the magic treasure from just now, otherwise, today, I will Slay your beloved!" Mu Xu spoke, aggressive and overbearing.

He had not expected that a chess piece his elder brother Mu Yun had casually placed in the past would actually be of use today.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Qi-Blood Martial Dao can be discussed later; you must not act willfully." Yu Sanshui, an Innate Expert who was loyal to the Shenghuang, spoke, his voice sounding aged.

He knew that even if the Shenghuang won this move, she would bear the infamy of ten thousand generations.

Yusu looked at Xu Ling, the guilt in her eyes gradually fading, eventually transforming into a resolute expression: "Xu Ye... you saved my life, yet I have implicated you in this torment. Today, Yusu cannot save you either, I..."

The words that followed, Yusu did not speak aloud.

That middle-aged man, at this moment, revealed a look of supplication on his face: "Save... me."

But at this moment, a flicker of killing intent flashed through Yusu's eyes.

"You are not him."

Xu Ye would not beg for his life like this, nor would he show weakness.

Yusu let out a sigh of relief, though the guilt in her heart never dissipated.

To fail the martial artists of the world, she only felt a little guilty.

To fail Xu Ling, to sever Xu Ye's path of Martial Arts, was, to her, even harder to accept.

Yusu looked at the martial artists present, especially those few martial artists of the Innate Realm.

Her voice remained indifferent, yet it became even more resolute.

"I invite you all... to die!"

The Innate Experts present looked at the Shenghuang, their expressions extremely unsightly.

Previously, that Innate Expert who had tried to persuade the Shenghuang, Yu Sanshui, with his hair and beard all white, revealed a look of desolation on his face.

He was a loyal member of the Shenghuang faction.

"Shenghuang, can you truly sever the Qi-Blood Martial Dao and give the future of the world a hope?"

"I will do my best," Yusu said.

She herself could not be certain that she could truly sever the Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

"I, Yu Sanshui, have lived for more than sixty years; let me contribute my part for this world."

As he spoke, he suddenly charged toward an injured Innate Expert from the Taiyi Sect faction.

He attacked with a suicidal style; the other Innate Experts, their strength weakened at this moment, dared not intervene rashly and could only watch as the two fought.

After a dozen breaths, two corpses fell.

The former Innate Expert died on the spot.

There was an emotional fluctuation in Yusu's eyes, but her gaze became even more determined.

Once she had begun to do this, there was no road back.

Yusu looked toward the other Innate Experts.

And at this moment, a loud roar rang out.

"The Shenghuang is devoid of Dao, wishing to sever the Martial Arts of the world!"

"Execute the Shenghuang, charge!"

The slaughter began at this moment.

Many of the martial artists who had once been loyal to the Shenghuang began to defect.

Many martial artists had complex expressions flash in their eyes, and many joined this group.

Three days later, Lin Chao appeared on the coast of the Nan'er Sea, where hundreds or thousands of corpses were laid out on the ground, the beach stained red.

Looking out, there were corpses everywhere.

"Yusu... she has truly grown up."

In these three days, he had already learned many facts.

He had not expected that Yusu would actually want to sever the Qi-Blood Martial Dao to return a future to this world.

Was this move by Yusu right, or was it wrong?

Lin Chao could not judge.

One could only say that not all things have a right or wrong; it depends on which standpoint one stands from.

However, by doing this, Yusu was making an enemy of the whole world.

Even if she won, she would not have a good ending.

These three days, various battles had been occurring constantly.

Those who remained loyal to Yusu were merely those Ordinary people, as well as the Huochong Battalion controlled by Xu Xiaojing.

Over these three days, great battles occurred one after another, with constant casualties.

Most shocking of all was yesterday, when Sheng Guang Laozu actually appeared, displaying terrifyingly peerless strength, killing two Innate Experts of the Taiyi Sect and one Innate Expert of the old Daxing Dynasty single-handedly.

The top experts of the Foreign Lands also suddenly turned traitor at this moment, standing on the side of the Holy Emperor to hunt down the Innate Experts of the Holy Dynasty.

In the current Holy Dynasty, apart from Yusu, there are no other Innate Experts.

Therefore, at least for now, Yusu has won.

The Innate Experts on the surface have all been cut off.

"Yusu, she is now..."

Lin Chao's gaze surged.

He could feel that his body was currently undergoing some kind of change.

It was as if the Qi-Blood within his body was about to leave him.

He knew that Yusu, possessing that Strange Treasure, certainly had a backup plan to truly cut off the Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

Once successful, the Martial Arts of this world would plummet off a cliff, and the Martial Master would be the end point.

Afterward, it would become weaker and weaker; perhaps in a few hundred years, there would be no true Qi-Blood Martial Dao martial artists in the world.

"Sigh."

Lin Chao let out a sigh.

"Qi-Blood Martial Dao... is it really going to disappear?"

Over these years, Lin Chao had been practicing the Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

In the dark, he felt that the Qi-Blood Martial Dao was very important to him.

Especially that kind of Qi-Blood Martial Dao that represented him.

Lin Chao had a feeling that if he continued on this path of Qi-Blood Martial Dao, he might be able to walk out an alternative path to the Ninth Tier.

After all, the path to the Ninth Tier is the Main God.

It requires not only unparalleled talent, but even more so,

millions of years of tempering the heart in the mortal world, watching the world be born and watching the world perish, while the divine heart remains as it was in the beginning.

He did not wish for the Qi-Blood Martial Dao to be cut off.

But he also understood that the Qi-Blood Martial Dao indeed restricted the living beings of this world, leaving them with no hope for longevity and no hope for the Immortal Dao.

Even when the Innate Gods awaken, the Qi-Blood of those living beings who practice the Qi-Blood Martial Dao would be devoured and fused into nourishment for the Innate Gods, and the living beings of this world would also suffer heavy damage.

To the living beings of this world, the Innate Gods are true evil.

But to Lin Chao, it is different.

Those Innate Gods also felt familiar to him, and he even felt some affinity for them.

Once Yusu succeeds, this world might truly usher in a new birth, but those Innate Gods will never have a chance to be resurrected again.

On a certain level, he and Yusu stand on opposite sides.

It is precisely these two people standing on opposite sides who are both enemies of the world.

Yusu is an enemy of the world.

He is also an enemy of the world.

On the Nan'er Sea.

Yusu, in a red dress, cold as frost, stood upon the surface of the sea.

At this moment, a trace of blood remained at the corner of her mouth.

"Pfft."

She spat out blood again, her face becoming deathly pale.

Now that the Innate Experts are gone, only she remains.

She used the Yuan Shi Legacy, Cang Yi, to forcibly sever the connection between the Innate Gods and all living beings in this world.

However, using this Strange Treasure requires forcibly enduring the backlash of the Innate Gods.

"As expected, the Innate Experts of the world have not been completely cut off.

However, most are dead, and I am enough to hold on until Cang Yi is completely successful."

A determined expression appeared on Yusu's face.

She had long thought that there would definitely be Innate Experts hiding their names.

However, she did not care; this was within her plan.

As Cang Yi was unleashed, countless threads rose into the air.

Except for Yusu, no one could see these threads.

These threads were winding around the bodies of all living beings.

No one could perceive this change.

And at this moment, countless Qi-Blood began to linger and fall upon Yusu.

This was the unconscious backlash of the Innate Gods, ravaging Yusu's body.

Yusu persisted.

Her gaze was incomparably determined.

The outcome is death anyway; she just wanted to make death more valuable.

Just then, suddenly, Yusu opened her eyes, and blood foam sprayed from her mouth: "I have failed; in the end... I could not hold on."

The connection between the Innate Gods and this world is already deep; how could it be so easy to clear away and establish a new connection.

In the end, she was defeated.

The aura on Yusu's body continuously plummeted, and her body fell into the sea.

Her consciousness also became blurred, and a figure appeared in her mind.

"Xu Ye... I am sorry."

Although she failed, she had delayed the awakening of the Innate God, and at the same time, caused the Innate God to become incomplete.

And the Qi-Blood Martial Dao of this world would experience a period of decline, before finally returning to the current scene.

But the ending, for the living beings of this world, was the same.

Her efforts were all in vain.

It was only a pity for Xu Ye; I fear he has no hope of reaching the Innate realm in this lifetime.

However, just at this moment, a sigh came, and a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.

"Xu... Ye?"

For some reason, in her hazy state, as her consciousness dissipated, she felt as if she saw that familiar person.

Lin Chao held Yusu, looking at her nearly dissipated consciousness, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes.

"Yusu." Lin Chao called out softly.

Yusu struggled to squeeze a smile onto her face, which, paired with the blood at the corners of her mouth, appeared extremely beautiful.

"Xu Ye... I..."

Yusu wanted to lift her head to touch Lin Chao's hair, but she was ultimately powerless, and she could not even speak a complete sentence.

She did not know whether this moment was reality or a hallucination.

Lin Chao looked at the magical artifact beside Yusu.

At this moment, countless Qi and blood were surging.

Cang Yi was still severing the connection between the Innate God and the world.

However, with no one to bear the backlash, it was now on the verge of fading into darkness.

Deep within Lin Chao's eyes, a light suddenly flashed.

A crazy idea surged in his heart.

"Let me replace the people of the world and bear the Qi and blood of all the Innate Gods."

His hand gripped that mass of Qi and blood.

The Innate God was parasitic within all living beings.

Cang Yi was stripping away this parasitism, moving it away.

What Lin Chao had to do was to graft it onto himself.

If that were the case, all living beings would lose the parasitism of the Innate God.

This would mean that the awakening of the Innate God would be borne entirely by him.

And he, too, would only be able to walk the path of Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

Countless Qi and blood surged crazily toward Lin Chao's body.

Within his body, a feeling of expansion arrived.

It was as if there were insects crawling in his ears.

In his nose, mouth, intestines, and other places, living insects were moving; these living insects seemed very enthusiastic toward him, frolicking happily in his body, yet the feeling for Lin Chao was not pleasant.

Lin Chao persisted, enduring it.

I do not know how much time passed, but a thick Blood Crystal wrapped around him, and he sank into the bottom of the sea, disappearing from sight.

One day later.

A graceful figure appeared at the Nan'er Sea, and she looked at the sea surface and whispered: "The poison of this world has finally dissipated, and we can also come here without having to endure the poison of Spiritual Qi.

It is just a pity that to spread the Dao, perhaps I must wait for several hundred years.

Wendi Zushi once said that the Yuan Shi Legacy fell into this realm; this is my opportunity, I cannot let it slip away."
