Chapter 242: Extermination, the Last Glance at the Primordial Wasteland!

You harbor great hatred, and immediately cultivate with innate spiritual qi.

However, after just a few days, you, experienced, broke through that barrier again, stepping directly into the Golden Immortal realm!

Afterwards, you went straight to see Jin Bing, without many words, only asking him in a low voice.

"Is there any way to kill a saint?"

Jin Bing:?

Jin Bing looked bewildered, immediately noticing your condition was off; he originally wanted to ask you what's wrong out of concern, but considering information confidentiality, he still didn't bring it up.

"Kill a saint?"

Jin Bing decisively shook his head: No.

If I knew how to kill a saint, would I still be imprisoned under Mount Buzhou?

Saints forged the primordial wilderness into the Dao; their essence already rivals Pangu, immortality is no empty talk—how could they possibly die?

Obviously, Jin Bing doesn't believe there is a way to kill a saint; even if there were, it wouldn't be something a bunch of lesser-than-saints could accomplish……

But you frowned: Even the primordial wilderness transformed from Pangu will perish—how could saints be immortal? There must be a way to kill a saint!

Seeing your obsession with slaying saints, Jin Bing seemed to realize something… then seriously said: If you truly want to know how to slay a saint, you might as well ask the saints themselves.

In theory, with equal cultivation, two fists always struggle against four hands; although saints are generally not counted in such discussions, more people are always stronger than fewer.

The Six Saints are all beyond the realm; if you could meet them and beseech their aid, perhaps……

Request the Six Saints to take action?

Jin Bing's proposal seems unrealistic to you, because Ming He's attainment of sainthood is surely known to those six; you don't believe the Six Saints would never return to the primordial wilderness to check the situation.

Moreover, since Ming He is still peacefully drifting in the heavens and has even gained an offensive advantage over Hongjun's Heavenly Dao, this indicates that in this whole affair the Six Saints are at most in a 'neutral' position.

Furthermore, from what you personally witnessed in your past life, Ming He could take out the Six Saints' magical treasures to attack Hongjun's Heavenly Dao, indicating that the Six Saints are not only not hostile to him, but might even be comrades on the same front!

If you truly want to find a saint to aid you, the only viable target is the imprisoned Laojun!

But, Laojun is quite miserable……

……

Ding! Under the domination of hatred and fury, you now only want to slay Ming He, to avenge fiercely all the fallen Asura clan, but you are at a loss for a plan… thus you thought of "another self", hoping this final reliance could solve another problem for you; you choose: (?) Please fill in freely!

"Ask me?"

Zhao Si also found it difficult, because he also had no good solution.

"First, Hei Xiaozi is too extreme; he gets hot-headed and wants to slay saints… actually there's no need to fight Ming He to the death; just stick to the original plan, bring people to moisten out."

"Second, saints are invincible; even other saints of the same level cannot inflict effective damage on him."

"For example, Laojun—if Ming He could kill him, why would there be a need to keep him pinned?"

"In the previous apocalyptic battle of the two saints, Ming He relied on the Six Saints' Supreme Treasure to successfully bisect Laojun into 2.5 parts, yet even so, he still didn't die; Ming He could only continue maintaining the seal."

"The invincibility of saints lies not only in their absolute domination over cultivators below saint level, but also in their exclusive Creation from Nothing ability, which inherently represents immortality……"

In short, Zhao Si temporarily couldn't think of any feasible method to slay a saint.

After thinking, Zhao Si turned his gaze to Jin Bing's answer:

"If you want to know how to slay a saint, the best way is naturally to ask other saints…… just do that!"

"You should first give it a try, first accomplish the goal of moistening the Eternal Wasteland, successfully saving all beings…… then upon reaching the Eternal Wasteland, personally ask the Six Saints how to kill Ming He."

"Don't immediately label the Six Saints as enemies right from the start."

……

"First save people to the primordial wilderness……"

"The advice from another self left you somewhat disappointed; you originally hoped he could directly give you a method to slay a saint……"

"However, this advice is also reasonable; no matter what, the people in the primordial wilderness must also be rescued, for this broken ship will eventually sink—whether or not we kill Ming He does not affect this outcome."

"Thus you reluctantly set aside your killing intent, suppressing the hostility and brutality arising from your bloodline, and turned to continue your moistening cause……"

"In the first year of the human calendar, Jin Bing abdicated in your favor; you received the abdication and ascended the throne, becoming the new emperor of the Blood Sea Heavenly Court!"

"As soon as you ascended, you banned spirit stone mining and organized the heavenly troops and generals to engage in the lengthy operation of slaying to save the world."

"At the same time, you returned once to the Heavenly Court you established, and declared that the two Heavenly Courts had achieved unity, making you the legitimate emperor honored by all!"

"Upon hearing this, the Yellow-Robed Heavenly Master and other veteran ministers exchanged glances: Your Majesty, weren't you going to surrender? How did the opposite side end up surrendering and abdicating instead?"

"Really, I just can't understand……"

"But precisely because they couldn't understand, it instead proved your awesomeness; although the crowd didn't comprehend, they all passionately shouted."

"Great! No need for many words!"

"Indeed, no need for many words, since there's nothing to say—let's all shout 666!"

"Slay! Slay ruthlessly!"

"The two Heavenly Courts shouted loyalty, grace, and such, beginning to slay at light speed……"

"In the second year, third meeting, sixth cycle of the human calendar, the West Wasteland was pacified! Apart from the people of the Heavenly Court, no living soul could be seen on the boundless earth; you forcibly turned the West Wasteland into a no‑person zone, your might overwhelming the world!"

"But you are not satisfied; you merely ordered the two Heavenly Courts to each advance into the South and North Wastelands, while picking up one Human Emperor Banner after another, continuously showering countless souls like waves upon the fragmented realms."

"In the fourth year, ninth meeting, sixth cycle of the human calendar, the South and North Wastelands were successively pacified! As usual, they were turned into no‑person zones, bones exposed in the wild, a thousand miles without a rooster's crow!"

"The heavenly troops and generals grew numb from slaughter; each day it was just slaughter, slaughter, slaughter…… many consequently suffered minor mental ailments, becoming timid, fearful, and slow to react……"

"But it's no problem; facing those heavenly troops and generals who doubted life, you calmly used the Blood God Son for brainwashing, and before long they regained their passion, shouting loyalty, grace, and such without cease……"

"Under this careful regulation of work and rest, your undertaking gradually drew closer to the goal."

……

"In the sixth year, eighth meeting, third cycle of the human calendar, the Heavenly Court pacified the East Wasteland!"

"Next, you relentlessly attacked the Central State!"

"The Central State was shocked and dismayed; after brief discussion, they again chose to kneel and surrender……"

You agreed to their surrender, but the mortals of Central State still need to be slaughtered!

Then, amid the incredulous, horrified gazes of the surrendering cultivators, your heavenly soldiers and generals under you surged into Central State and began a great slaughter……

In the era of eight yuan, nine hui, two yun, the heavenly soldiers killed the last person of Central State, and from then on the five realms became uninhabited wastelands, and the Primordial Wasteland fell into the most tranquil age since its birth.

But you were still not satisfied, so you sent out the heavenly soldiers and generals to conduct a meticulous sweep of the vast islands of the Four Seas, leaving none alive!

Your brutality is unmatched in ancient and modern times; you are truly an Asura……

When the heavenly soldiers of the Four Seas completed their mission and returned to the Western Wasteland Sea of Blood to report to you, you were certain that no other living beings remained in the Primordial Wasteland.

And next, it was just that small portion of people preserved within the area originally occupied by the Heavenly Court……

Mortal: whatcanisay?

Whether they felt fear, curses, or pleas, after so many years, generation after generation had long been psychologically prepared for this.

Thus, you mercilessly slaughtered them and stored this final batch of souls in the fragmented world.

After doing that, your gaze turned again to the Sea of Blood: in the sea lay a vast amount of souls accumulated since the end of the Dharma, and due to the Sea of Blood's special environment, they had turned into spirit stones.

But they can still be saved! Once we reach the "Eternal Primordial Wasteland", everyone will be revived!

Thus you began mining spirit stones, and with the countless immortals working together, the non-replenished Sea of Blood spirit stones finally ceased to be a "renewable resource" and could be exhausted……

In the era of ten yuan, five hui, fourteen yun, the Sea of Blood spirit stones were completely exhausted; all the spirit stones mined were piled together with the souls in the fragmented world, reaching so high as to even touch the seventy-two heavenly stars!

To the cultivators of the present day, this is absolutely an unimaginable fortune!

But to you, these are all living people……

By the Sea of Blood.

A gloomy youth in black robes, Xue Xuan, withdrew his gaze from the Sea of Blood, now nothing but water, and turned his head to look behind him:

The civil and military officials of the hundred palaces, the heavenly soldiers and generals, all stood solemnly, forming a vast sea of people as far as the eye could see.

These are his loyal subjects!

They are also the last batch of living beings in the Primordial Wasteland……

Xue Xuan gazed at them in silence for a long time before speaking:

"This is the final moment."

"I know you have never understood my good intentions, nor do you wish to slaughter the masses; it is only because of my coercive orders that you have acted against your will and come to this day."

"But please believe in me; I will surely find a glimmer of hope for you, and if I cannot, I am willing to suffer heavenly punishment and earthly annihilation!"

The Heavenly Emperor spoke thus; how would the ministers react?

"Loyalty! Sincerity!"

"Grace! Affection!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the fierce killing intent shot straight to the heavens; at this moment, they were truly Asuras!

Xue Xuan listened to their heartfelt cheers, then silently issued his final edict:

"All those below the rank of Xuan Immortal shall commit suicide!"

This heaven-defying command, no matter how you hear it, is still heaven-defying, but everyone had already been mentally prepared, so they calmly accepted it.

"Loyalty! Sincerity!"

They shouted, then committed suicide; vast amounts of spiritual energy gradually dissipated, making this place seem like a true celestial realm!

Xue Xuan gathered the spiritual energy and primordial spirits of the hundreds of millions of True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, poured them into the fragmented world, and then looked at the remaining tens of millions of Profound Immortals.

They were the true elite cultivated from the concentrated spiritual energy resources of the Primordial Wasteland, each at the peak of Profound Immortal, their killing buffs already maxed out; only one step away from attaining Golden Immortal, and with sufficient resources, attaining Great Ultimate and Grand Luo would also be no problem!

So, Xue Xuan did not let them die, but instead opened the fragmented world, placed them inside, and kept them as a contingency……

"I hope you succeed."

The last to walk, Jin Bing, sighed and offered his blessing.

"Of course, I will bear everything."

Xue Xuan said calmly.

"Goodbye……"

Jin Bing, his gaze complex, stepped into the familiar yet strange fragmented world.

Thus, between the ancient heavens and earth, only he remained……

Lonely? Lonesome? Afraid?

"I do not deserve these feelings."

Xue Xuan muttered to himself, over and over repeating these words; as a sinner with unmatched killing karma, he felt he did not deserve any emotions.

He put away the fragmented world, then stroked the seven-colored little bird perched on his shoulder, muttering to himself:

"It's time to go……"

He glanced at the Sea of Blood.

Then he flew upward; each time he flew a distance, he lowered his head to glance back, as if trying to eternally imprint the final appearance of the Primordial Wasteland in his heart.

For whether he succeeded or failed, he would never return……
