Chapter 128: Earth Origin

Meng Su did not know where the Heishan Laoyao's divine sense was hidden, but someone did—that person was Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia formed hand seals with both hands, once again chanting, "Heaven and Earth Boundless, Universe Borrowing Law." A golden sword appeared out of thin air, surrounded by countless golden runes. The golden light made Yan Chixia appear sacred and mysterious.

"This Yan Chixia is definitely not as simple as he appears, but he should be a friend, not a foe."

Yan Chixia swung the sword at the void. Originally, the Heishan Laoyao's two giant eyes were suspended alone in the void, but as Yan Chixia struck between them, a crack appeared. At first, it was black, but as soon as it emerged, it turned red and began to bleed profusely, causing a rain of blood to fall from the sky.

The Heishan Laoyao let out a heaven-shaking scream. The sound waves deafened Meng Su, leaving him unable to hear anything for a long time and causing his divine sense to become unstable. Fortunately, he was a cultivator of thought power and used his mind to protect his consciousness. Looking at Yan Chixia, he seemed completely unaffected. This exceeded the abilities expected of an early-stage Demon Saint. Yan Chixia was definitely not an ordinary demon cultivator.

If Meng Su hadn't heard the stories about Yan Chixia, he would have thought Yan Chixia was a Demon Son of the Demon Capital.

Li Bai, Shi Xiaoxiao, and Liu Rushi, who were rushing over, were left bleeding from their seven orifices by the scream. In the end, it was Shi Xiaoxiao who crushed a pill, creating a barrier that shielded the three of them and allowed them to survive the massive sound wave.

Having had his divine sense injured by Yan Chixia's sword, a small, earthy-yellow figure appeared between the Heishan Laoyao's two eyes. The figure was the size of a palm and began to run frantically toward the Black Mountain's main body, attempting to hide within it.

But the Heishan Laoyao's body was no longer safe; the sword intent from that "Astonishing Glance" had not yet faded, and Meng Su's "Injury Form" was still wreaking havoc. The earthy-yellow figure hesitated for a moment before diving into the Black Mountain's body.

That hesitation gave Meng Su his chance.

Meng Su stood up abruptly and struck a palm toward the yellow figure. A giant eye appeared in Meng Su's palm, and an ethereal voice descended from the heavens: "Injury Spirit."

That yellow figure was the Heishan Laoyao's divine sense, and now that it was exposed, Meng Su's "Injury Spirit" struck it, wiping away its consciousness. The Heishan Laoyao perished.

With the death of the Heishan Laoyao, its massive black body began to turn into ash. The ash flew into the sky, forming a giant vortex that emitted a powerful teleportation force.

Meng Su did not know where this teleportation force would send him, so he fought with all his might to steady his stance against the powerful suction.

At this moment, Meng Su faintly saw several rays of light appear within the black vortex. They appeared for only a split second, and a restrictive force dissipated into the air along with the teleportation power. Who had placed a restriction inside the body of such a powerful entity as the Heishan Laoyao?

Meng Su shook his head. At this moment, a strong craving arose within his body; something held a fatal attraction for him.

Meng Su could no longer worry about resisting the teleportation force and flew rapidly into the sky. Before him was the Heishan Laoyao's divine sense, now stripped of its consciousness, quietly emitting a faint yellow glow.

This was the Earth Origin.

Meng Su had already obtained the Wood and Fire Origins, but he had never obtained the Earth Origin. Now, the Earth Origin was right before his eyes, and it was so pure that it far surpassed the Wood and Fire Origins he had obtained previously.

Meng Su reached out to grab it, but a withered, yellow hand appeared before him and snatched the yellow figure away.

Meng Su was furious. Just as he was about to attack, a strange boat appeared before him, shedding fine yellow sand. It was the Sand Queen's boat; she had snatched the Earth Origin first.

"Sand Queen, are you tired of living? How dare you snatch my origin!" Meng Su shouted.

"In a battle long ago, my Earth Element power was knocked down by sixty percent. I urgently need this Earth Origin to replenish it. You don't even cultivate Earth Demon Arts; it would be better utilized in my hands."

Meng Su was enraged: "We fought to the death while you did nothing to help, and now you come to pick the fruit? How could there be such a cheap deal?"

With that, he struck a palm toward the Sand Queen.

The Sand Queen was holding the Earth Origin in her right hand and could only use her left hand to meet Meng Su's palm.

The Meng Su of today was not the same Meng Su she had fought before. This palm strike sent the Sand Queen flying back over ten zhang. Meng Su did not give her a chance to catch her breath; his figure blurred, and he appeared before her.

However, Meng Su's right hand had been turned to sand by the Sand Queen's Earth Element power. Meng Su channeled his Wood Element power to restore his hand, then merged his palms into a blade, slashing toward the Sand Queen's right arm that held the Earth Origin.

With just one palm, the Sand Queen knew she was no match for Meng Su.

The Sand Queen said bitterly: "You little rabbit, you snatched my Reincarnation Demon Seed, and now you come to snatch my Earth Origin! If I had obtained the Demon Seed back then, I would have become a Supreme long ago. Giving it to a waste like you, only reaching the Demon God stage—it's simply a waste of heaven's gifts."

The Sand Queen beckoned with her left hand, and the small wooden boat blocked Meng Su. Meng Su struck the boat's sail, but the sail billowed, neutralizing all the force of his palm.

The small wooden boat carried the Sand Queen away. It was a natural teleportation array, seemingly of the same origin as the boat belonging to the killer named 'Night'. Meng Su wondered if there was a connection.

Seeing the small wooden boat becoming a mere blur, Meng Su was about to return empty-handed. This was a treasure he desperately wanted to obtain, and now it was about to slip through his fingers.

Below, Yan Chixia moved. Since the death of the Heishan Laoyao, the rope-like clothing had reformed on his body. Yan Chixia pointed at the small wooden boat, and a giant net ensnared it. The boat struggled violently within the net but could not escape.

Meng Su hated the Sand Queen to the bone. When he and Yan Chixia were fighting the Heishan Laoyao to the death, she must have been hiding in the void nearby. She had the small wooden boat and could hide in the void, yet she never offered help, and now she wanted to snatch the treasure from him. How could Meng Su tolerate this?

Meng Su slowly drew his kitchen knife from his waist and slashed at the small wooden boat in the net.

This slash was light and airy, yet it stirred up countless space fragments, as if awakening a giant beast sleeping in the void.

The Sand Queen was shocked. She desperately wanted to escape and refine this pure Earth Element power. She had already sensed that this Earth Origin was extraordinary, containing massive Immortal power and a vast amount of Demon power. It could potentially allow her to reach the Demon Venerable stage, or at the very least, the peak of the Demon Saint stage. Becoming a quasi-Supreme would be very powerful.

Meng Su's slash seemed to require no time, as if it had always been there. Before the Sand Queen could react, the Domain Blade slashed toward her forehead.

The Sand Queen was terrified. This was no longer a dispute between sects; this was an attempt on her life.

The Sand Queen tilted her body slightly, and the cry of an infant appeared in the pitch-black night sky. A Nine-Aperture Stone Human appeared before her, emitting a heart-wrenching wail.

The blade fell, slicing the Nine-Aperture Stone Human in two, and the space fragments stirred, turning the stone figure into ash.

The Nine-Aperture Stone Human only delayed the Domain Blade for less than half a breath before the blade continued downward.

The Sand Queen turned frantically, trying to block the blade with the small wooden boat, but Yan Chixia pointed at the net binding the Sand Queen, causing it to squirm and contract, turning the Sand Queen directly into the path of the blade.

With one slash, the Sand Queen was cut in two. Half of her turned into flowing sand that spilled onto the small wooden boat, while the other half remained flesh and blood, but half of her origin power dissipated.

The small yellow figure in the Sand Queen's hand flew toward Meng Su, and Meng Su caught it firmly.
