Chapter 554 - 553 Forced to Deceive the Heavens, flipping a hand to annihilate the world

~22 min read 4,275 words

"Hiss."

Li Jing drew a cold breath.

Xiao Cai on the table also pulled her neck back, raising her eyes and sticking out her tongue in surprise.

There was no way out.

Meimei’s words were understated, but they conveyed a domineering message.

She couldn’t find it, she was out of patience.

So.

She would destroy the Ancient Fairyland once again.

But to be honest.

Li Jing quite liked this simple and brutal decision.

After all, he was also eager to find it now.

If this could solve the problem, then it would be great.

With a thought, Li Jing opened the Small Universe, and took the three people including Blue Phoenix who were resisting the influence of Meimei with their own domain into it.

As he directly opened the Small Universe, his domain had to be displayed.

Meimei naturally saw the green coffin that was blocking her way home at the entrance to the realm of color and desire.

How could she ignore the thing that blocked her way home?

As soon as she paid attention to it, she noticed something was wrong.

Gazing at the green coffin, Meimei looked over silently.

"This coffin of yours..."

"I picked it up on the road."

Li Jing answered sincerely.

"..."

Meimei was silent, then said dryly.

"You really dare to pick up anything."

Hearing this, Li Jing laughed awkwardly and said,

"It...shouldn’t cause too many problems?"

Seeing that someone obviously knew what was in the coffin, Meimei nodded.

"Not for now."

"That’s good, let’s put it aside for now."

Li Jing smiled.

Meimei did not object to this either.

"We’re starting now, prepare whatever tricks you have."

Meimei continued plainly.

"The Void Worm Mother is not a particularly powerful void creature, but it’s extremely insidious and strange. Be careful not to trip up. Killing is my specialty, saving people, not so much."

After that, she added another sentence.

"In addition, it’s uncertain whether there are other fugitives in the Ancient Fairyland. However, since the Void Worm Mother has survived once, there are probably other void creatures."

Hearing these words, Li Jing solemnly nodded.

He might not pay any attention if someone else had said it.

But if Meimei said it, he absolutely couldn’t ignore it.

Given her strength.

The careful warning must have had corresponding considerations.

And as she was clear.

Killing is her specialty, saving people, not so much.

If he was going to support her, he had to ensure his own safety.

"Give me some time."

He spoke softly, Li Jing swept away all the table and chairs on the table, and even Xiao Cai, who was still eating, into the Small Universe. Then Ling Ling came out.

Due to the trend of transformation, Ling Ling had been maintaining a "good routine" of sleeping after eating and eating after sleeping for a long time.

She was about to go to sleep after eating.

Being suddenly touched, she was stunned for a moment.

Looking up and seeing Meimei, the little girl giggled.

Seeing Ling Ling, Meimei, who had always been indifferent, also showed a thrilling smile on her face.

After exchanging glances and smiles, Ling Ling turned her head in confusion.

"Li Jing, Mei Mei, what are you going to do?"

"Meimei is about to destroy the Ancient Fairyland once again and find the Void creatures hidden in it."

Li Jing responded, and then continued.

"I will stay by her side to help, and I may need your strength for a while."

Hearing this, Ling Ling said "Oh", flew to Meimei’s shoulder, and swayed her little feet a couple of times.

"I’ll come to you if you need me."

Li Jing was dumbfounded.

Ling Ling and Meimei’s relationship, there was really nothing much to say.

But it was understandable.

They had known each other for countless years.

Over such a long time, Li Jing hadn’t seen the two have any other original friends.

And in fact.

As Spirits of Origin, Meimei and Xiao Cai had just met for a while and hadn’t had much interaction with each other.

The little one even wanted to blame Meimei for essentially destroying her "old home", but didn’t have the courage.

Without thinking much, Li Jing raised his hand and began to cast the signs.

The next moment.

The color of the world changed.

A deepening sense of ominous dread descended immediately.

Feeling something was wrong, Meimei looked up, and then gazed over.

"This, is this the reason why the Heavenly Taoist of the Big World favors you?"

Apparently sensing something, Ling Ling looked at him in surprise.

?

Li Jing, who was now casting signs rapidly.

He was preparing to activate the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds.

Having stepped into the Latter Venerable stage again, he was undoubtedly incomparable to his Eleven Realms stage.

Just a simple start, he had already felt something.

Now he.

Could open the Robbery Thunder Nine Break to the eighth stage in one breath.

Before, Li Jing could use the fourth stage of Robbery Thunder Nine Break to resist the Return to Origin Realm with his Eleven Realms Cultivation level. How strong the eighth stage was, he couldn’t even imagine himself.

But this...

It could hardly make Meimei, a being of this level, look different, could it?

She made a comment out of the blue, which made him feel even more confused.

Seeing that he looked clueless, Mei Mei slightly furrowed her brows and said,

"The shattered Heavenly Path of this realm is slowly reorganizing because of your power."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was stunned.

The shattered Heavenly Path of the Ancient Fairyland was slowly reorganizing because of his power!?

This...

What does that mean?

Surely it can’t mean that the Heavenly Path of the Ancient Fairyland was trying to recombine and revive because of the influence of his Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds?

That hardly seems plausible!

His Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds was a forbidden skill for killing, how could it have such a function?

So...

What was causing this phenomenon?

As he was wondering, Ling Ling, who could sense his emotions through their symbiotic contract, chirped.

"If you could make the vanished Heavenly Path come back to life, I guess you would have to ascend to heaven and all the Heavenly Paths of every world would have to worship you. The shattered Heavenly Path of this realm is reorganizing because of your power because you have reached a true level where you can move the heavens and the earth and use the Power of Tao."

"Like this?"

Li Jing was taken aback.

He understood the principle.

But he had no practical concept of borrowing the Power of Taoist.

At this moment, Charming Spirit spoke up.

"Usually, the Power of Taoist isn’t controlled by anyone except a Saint. But you, you’re a real oddball. You managed it without being crowned a Saint."

Li Jing was rather confused after hearing this.

A power only a Saint could control.

And he, somehow, could just use it?

Could the eighth stage of the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds be so bugged?

Before he could mull it over, Charming Spirit spoke up again.

"The more powerful the force, the more painful the sacrifice required, especially when some conditions are lacking. Saints have the protection of the Saint Position, which spares them from disasters, but not you. Unless you become a Saint one day, it’s best not to use this power too frequently."

She paused, then continued.

"Whether your current use of the Power of Taoist will bring about negative effects, I can’t say for certain. What I can tell you is that your current state can be considered as that of a top-notch Deceiver of Heavens. Unless it’s a familiar Will of Heaven, they will definitely view you as an enemy to be killed."

"..."

Li Jing.

He was still a little confused after hearing what Charming Spirit said.

But one thing he did understand.

Strictly speaking.

The Power of Taoist wasn’t something only a Saint could control.

Rather, one needed a Saint Position to control the Power of Taoist.

Otherwise one would be viewed as deceiving the heavens...

Didn’t Charming Spirit say it?

Right now, he was considered a Deceiver of Heavens, and a top-tier one at that.

He hadn’t even felt that he could use the Power of Taoist...

Li Jing felt a bit numb on the spot.

Deceiving the heavens, he had never thought of that.

But as far as the current situation was concerned.

It didn’t seem to be within his control...

What’s this all about?

Being forced to violate the rules?

As he was speechless, the magic formula in Li Jing’s hand was completed.

"Boom!"

The terrifying thunder roar sounded across the sky, like it was about to shatter the entire heaven and earth.

The sky of the Ancient Fairyland seemed to be torn apart, countless black punishment thunders descended with a world-destroying momentum, and then, pivoted mid-air and beamed towards Li Jing at the center.

Suddenly seeing this, Li Jing’s heart leapt.

He had seen similar scenes more than once.

In the past, when he used the World Thunder Punishment in the space boundary and coincidentally had only one target, wasn’t the scene like this?

This time around.

It was a replay.

The only difference was that the target of these numerous punishment thunders was not someone else, but he himself.

Before he even had a chance to worry about whether he could withstand it, innumerable punishment thunders had already struck him and poured into his body.

Li Jing let out a muffled hum as he felt as if he were a delicate girl being filled to the brink of collapse by a million mighty men in a 360-degree, no-blind-spot assault, barely able to bear it, and there was also a feeling of pain and pleasure.

The abnormality didn’t last long.

The speed at which the punishment thunders poured into his body were beyond imagination.

Soon.

Li Jing didn’t feel any more abnormalities.

But it wasn’t that he had adapt it.

Rather, just as he had predicted when driving the fourth stage Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds, he had completely become thunder punishment.

Whether it was flesh and blood or tendons and bones.

All of his everything had turned into the pure Power of Thunder Punishment.

At this moment.

He didn’t even have a physical form anymore.

This state was quite peculiar.

Li Jing could still feel his physical body present.

But on a physical level, he had become an existence with form but no substance.

At the same time.

Li Jing also had a clear realization.

The Power of Taoist had been drawn in by him.

Up to now.

This was the first time he had felt the power of the Heavenly Path so clearly.

But that wasn’t the point.

The point was.

At this moment all the Thunder Punishment, Space, Shadow, Heavenly Fire—the four rule-related Power of Taoist he was controlling, each seemed like a stunning beauty, scratching at his heart like kittens.

As if inaudibly saying.

"Come on! Use me! Let’s have a great time together!"

This was...

Even more likely to lead to corruption than borrowing Ling Ling’s power.

Li Jing even felt.

Like him, who doesn’t have a Saint Position but can use the Power of Taoist, should not be considered a top-tier Deceiver of the Heavens. If the will is not strong enough, upon gaining this kind of power, one would undoubtedly fall into becoming a Deceiver of the Heavens."

Sitting by the side, Charming Spirit watched as Li Jing transformed completely into pure thunder punishment, a flash of surprise appearing in her eyes.

Ling Ling on the other hand, was left gaping with surprise.

Just how outrageous he was.

No one understood this better than she did.

Because as long as she was with Li Jing, she could sense each other’s feelings through the Symbiotic Contract at any time.

But she never imagined that he, after stacking a buff, would reach such a level.

This was no longer a human being.

But a monster!

If Ling Ling, a Spirit of Origin, saw him as a monster, how would others react?

Over here.

Li Jing managed to suppress the impulse to use the Power of Taoist to blast the sky for a good time, and felt himself.

He, at present.

Was powerful.

Powerful to the extent that he couldn’t have imagined in the past.

The most peculiar thing was.

After fully transforming into thunder punishment, instead of feeling as uncomfortable as he usually did when he drove the limit of the World Thunder Punishment, he felt rather comfortable.

Being in this state did not hinder his use of other skills.

With a thought, Li Jing silently activated Demon Taoist.

"Whoosh!"

After fully transitioning into thunder punishment and losing his physical body, a surge of Demon Qi erupted around him. The originally extremely gloomy sky suddenly seemed as if it had been splashed with thick ink, and was dyed into an ultimate black.

Charming Spirit didn’t find this surprising.

She knew early on that Li Jing could activate Demon Taoist.

After seeing him, whose Demon Qi purity could compete with the top Demon Lord of the Outer Realm Sky, Charming Spirit said.

"That should be enough, don’t make it too extravagant."

Li Jing nodded.

At the moment, his problem wasn’t simplicity.

Instead, after activating Demon Taoist, his mentality had been affected.

Clearly, because his level had increased, and the power that Demon Taoist could bring was stronger, the negative effect was also magnified.

At this moment, he was slightly lost in the violent power and he couldn’t suppress the impulse to continue to enhance himself.

This is a problem that those who tread the Demon Taoist path inevitably face.

As inner strength exceeds one’s state of mind, everything turns into severe impulses, involuntarily transforming one into a tyrannical and cruel demon.

In fact.

The only reason Li Jing can still maintain a clear state of mind is thanks to the ’forced calm’ effect of the Spirit God’s Whispers from his second breakthrough skill. Otherwise, he would have succumbed to the urge to slaughter all in his path.

Leaving Li Jing with an implicit response, the Charming Spirit raised her pale hand delicately.

Then.

A pitch-black sphere manifested quietly in her palm.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing’s heart shuddered.

Even under the influence of the Body of Thunder Punishment and demonic possession swelling him up, he has no desire to touch the sphere even in the slightest.

Driven by curiosity, Li Jing initiated his Eye of True Vision.

And received feedback.

The realm of color and desire.

!!!

Li Jing.

Charming Spirit...

Has she extracted the realm of color and desire with her bare hand!?

In the midst of his shock, The Charming Spirit appeared to recall something and lightly touched the sphere in her hand.

Then.

Roap haphazardly stumbled out of the sphere.

???

Ruan Ya, who was extracted from the sphere, has nothing but question marks floating over her head.

Before she could understand her surroundings, the Charming Spirit spoke.

"Let her stay with you for a while."

Li Jing and Ruan Ya, after all, are well acquainted.

His ability to possess demons is attained from her.

Upon reunion.

Li Jing was beyond astonished.

The Charming Spirit seems very serious, but it also seems that she knows how to have a good time.

She took Ruan Ya as a servant, and even dressed her up in maid clothes.

Not just any maid clothes.

But those worn by the young servant girl!

What is Ruan Ya?

A Demonic Divinity!

What’s the "main job" of a Demonic Divinity?

Through various contracts and witnessing, making people fall and devour life.

To perform their duty better.

Isn’t every female Demonic Divinity extremely enchanting?

After Ruan Ya is dressed in this outfit, it is extraordinarily large and white.

Upon hearing the Charming Spirit, Li Jing responded promptly.

"Understood."

?

Upon hearing this, Ruan Ya turned her head to look, only then did she notice the sinister Li Jing, her little face instantly turned pale.

As for Li Jing, she naturally does not feel any fear.

The two are not enemies.

At this point, she even became a servant of the Charming Spirit.

The servant of the venerable Original Demon, does she need to fear others?

But Li Jing’s monstrous state is so terrifying that it makes her little heart tremble, and she can’t help but want to keep her distance.

This TM...

Is this the Li Jing she knows!?

While she was shocked, Li Jing opened his domain with a thought and enveloped her in it.

Now is not an appropriate time to reminisce.

If possible.

Li Jing would like to end his current state as soon as possible.

The temptation of the power of Taoist and the impulse of possession of the demon are too tormenting.

Seeing Li Jing send Ruan Ya away, the Charming Spirit turned back, holding up the sphere in her hand then casually clenched it mid-air.

"Bang!"

With a blasting sound, the sphere shattered.

Li Jing saw this and was stunned.

This sphere is undoubtedly some form of the realm of color and desire.

The Charming Spirit crushed it!?

What’s happening?

Before he comes to his senses, the shattered sphere becomes a black hole, and countless dark and thick black fog gushes out, swallowing all the visible surroundings in an instant.

!!!

Li Jing.

He was not engulfed.

But besides the Charming Spirit and Ling Ling, there’s nothing else visible.

Including the void space...

It was also swallowed by the black fog emerging from the black hole.

At this moment.

The feedback from the Eye of True Vision is still the realm of color and desire.

That is to say...

This black fog, which is like pure demon qi, is exactly the realm of color and desire.

Considering this spectacle.

Li Jing finally understands why the Charming Spirit was alone in the realm of color and desire before Ruan Ya was there.

Not to mention whether the realm of color and desire is only such black fog.

The Charming Spirit’s releasing Ruan Ya beforehand fully signifies that once she crushes the realm of color and desire, everything will be destroyed.

While understanding this, the Charming Spirit pushed her hand down.

"Humm!"

A dull, oppressive sound that caused extreme discomfort spread out under the Charming Spirit’s pushing hand and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Then.

The black fog that had surged out just a moment ago recoiled.

In just an instant.

The black fog re-condensed into a black sphere beside the charming spirit.

Seeing this, Li Jing unconsciously looked around and was shocked.

The surrounding area.

Everything is gone.

Shattered Continent?

Gone.

The void space that separated the fragmented land also disappeared without a trace.

What’s left.

Is only darkness.

This...

Did the Charming Spirit completely destroy the Ancient Fairyland?

Just like that, without a sign of effort!?

As if knowing his thoughts, the Charming Spirit spoke gently.

"Don’t think of me as a God. What was truly destroyed is just the area where you and I are close by. The more distant areas will not be destroyed so thoroughly. Under the rule of heaven and earth, space, earth, sky, oceans, and some creatures and plants will reappear soon."

After saying this, she spoke casually again.

"To truly destroy a world, it’s not that simple. The Ancient Fairyland is a rather special Mini World. With my power, it’s impossible to completely destroy it."

"...."

Li Jing.

He couldn’t respond to this kind of powerhouse speech.

He knew that Meimei, as the original Demon, had the power to annihilate the world.

But he never thought it could be so easy.

By the tone of Meimei’s voice.

In an instant.

He and Blue Phoenix and the others spent more than half a month but couldn’t figure out exactly how much of the ancient fairyland was destroyed. But it would all soon be repaired under the operation of the rules of heaven and earth, and start over.

Seeing all this, Li Jing felt numb.

Exaggeration?

No more.

What about the power of Tao?

In front of Meimei, such an original Demon, it’s simply not worth mentioning!

"Stop gawking, it’s time for us to go."

Meimei spoke, and with one step, she went forward.

A spatial rift spontaneously presented in front of her.

Li Jing, seeing this, hurried to follow.

Obviously, Meimei found the Void Worm Mother who had been hiding.

And she wasn’t able to kill it with her ultimate destructive power.

As he followed Meimei into the spatial rift, Li Jing’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the black ground gradually turning grey.

That...

Is the manifestation of emptiness.

Seeing this, Li Jing suddenly understood why the Void Worm Mother could survive in this kind of apocalyptic power.

Although Meimei’s method of destruction seemed to destroy the void as well, it didn’t actually affect the void. What should still exist, still exists.

Such a situation can be seen as reasonable.

The real void.

Even if it’s just a plane, it’s infinite within.

The Infinite Void is named for this very reason.

...

Spatial traversing, completed in the blink of an eye.

Li Jing followed Meimei and appeared in the void where debris and some other things were scattered all over the place.

Before he could steady himself, Li Jing looked up to see a gigantic Titan as high as a hundred stories high slowly opening his eyes and stretching his body.

Li Jing couldn’t help questioning.

The Eye of True Vision told him.

The Titan in front of him who was shriveled up to be hundred stories high was the Void Worm Mother.

On closer inspection.

Not only was her body inflated by more than a hundred times, but all the plant-like characteristics around her had all faded away, and to the naked eye, they all seemed like flesh and blood.

Not only that.

The handsome young Void Worm Mother has transformed into a gigantic female humanoid, those high legs...

Cough!

Leaving aside the basic humanoid features.

The Void Worm Mother has developed antennae on her head and a pair of transparent wings on her back. In her flat waist and abdomen, there are densely packed holes like a honeycomb.

Clearly.

She has completed her transformation.

Faced with such a situation, Meimei looked serious.

Even she looked serious, so Li Jing did not dare to look elsewhere.

Just after crossing over, he noticed something.

Everything was as Meimei had said.

Although she can destroy everything in the ancient fairyland in just an instant, she will not completely destroy it.

At this moment, the surrounding space and earth are slowly recovering.

But these were not what Li Jing was focusing on.

What he focused on was.

The things that stubbornly remained after Meimei’s world-destroying blow, things that were not just gravel and debris.

These things were undoubtedly extraordinary.

Among them, there must be the valuable "cultural heritage" left behind by the once prosperous ancient fairyland.

He and Blue Phoenix and the others have been busy for more than half a month.

Is this not what they were working for?

But they had no patience to look for them!

These things were all buried in the ground.

They couldn’t possibly pulverize every piece of continent they came across to see if they could find something inside, could they?

However, at this moment, Li Jing didn’t have time to think about these things.

Staring dead at the Void Worm Mother, Meimei spoke impassively.

"At least put on your pants?"

"..."

Li Jing.

Is that really the point?

TM...

Is Meimei’s dark expression due to this!?

But if you want to say.

It does sting the eyes a bit.

Although the Void Worm Mother has transformed into a female, the lower parts are still there, obviously being hermaphroditic.

At this moment, the Void Worm Mother spoke.

"Great original Demon, I have no intention of being your enemy."

?

Li Jing.

The sudden articulation of the Void Worm Mother was beyond his expectation.

Listening to the rather masculine voice.

It was clearly the Deceiving the Heavens who had already been eaten!

As soon as the other party opened their mouth, their desire to live was so strong that Li Jing could easily determine that the creature in front of him was not truly the Void Worm Mother.

Whether the Void Worm Mother still has rationale after metamorphosis or not, Li Jing doesn’t know.

But he was sure.

If it were really the Void Worm Mother, she wouldn’t have been so submissive as soon as she saw Meimei.

So.

Did Deceiving the Heavens "counter kill" the Void Worm Mother after being devoured!?

Just as he was guessing, Meimei spoke casually by his side.

"You are the first I’ve seen to merge consciousness with a void creature and still remain dominant."

Seemed to be complimenting him, she suddenly turned her head.

"I’ll leave it to you".

???

Li Jing.

"With your ability, it’s not hard to kill her."

Meimei spoke, took a step forward and disappeared in an instant, leaving her voice in his ear.

"There’s more important things elsewhere. See you later."

"..."

Li Jing.

Meimei just left, there’s nothing strange about that.

There’s more pressing matters elsewhere, that can be understood.

Did Meimei leave him here before because she wanted him to help in case of emergency?

It’s just, when she left, she also took Ling Ling with her...
