Chapter 234: Destruction Form! Suppressing Black Jade!_2
Although Su Changqing could easily defeat them, so what?
The final victory would still be theirs!
...
Listening to the sinister laughter ringing in his ears, feeling that nauseating evil intent.
Su Changqing exhaled deeply, his eyes slightly closed, whispering softly,
"Come out..."
As the words fell, the black jade suppressed within the life palace leaped forth, reaching the center of the sea of consciousness.
Endless black light erupted, and Su Changqing's innate gifts, bloodline, even his soul, were swiftly tainted by darkness.
Mysterious runes crawled over his skin, and Su Changqing's gentle face suddenly changed drastically.
His black hair rose with the wind, turning snow-white in an instant.
On the sides of his fair face, strands of black lines gradually appeared.
Boom!
Almost in an instant, a boundless aura of destruction surged mightily from Su Changqing's whole body!
Purer than Tong Lin's, dark aura burst forth suddenly.
Sizzle!
Su Changqing slowly opened his eyes, a black light flowing within.
Cold, unfeeling, without a trace of emotion, his eyes looked at Tong Lin and the others.
"D-...Demon?"
Seeing the white-haired, malevolent Su Changqing, Chu Xi took a sharp breath, her face showing endless horror.
In this state of Su Changqing, just a glance made her scalp tingle.
But what surprised her more...
Why did Su Changqing turn into a demon?
And even looked more like an Outer Domain creature than Tong Lin?
At this moment, not only Chu Xi was dumbfounded, even Tong Lin, Jun Yu, and the others looked shocked.
"Is this... a pure demon?"
Looking at Su Changqing, fear showed in Jun Yu's eyes, "Why is the dark aura on him purer than that of Master Tong?"
An unease welled up within Tong Lin's heart, his expression changing unpredictably.
He had seen true Outer Domain demons, and now Su Changqing's appearance... was identical to them.
Even... purer?
"What kind of joke is this, they're the offspring of demon gods!"
"A pure demon shouldn't appear in this era..."
Tong Lin was utterly baffled, his mind in chaos.
And at the same time.
Su Changqing stretched out his hand into the void, and with a grasp, numerous dark path runes condensed, and a dark, eerie Heaven-Opening Axe appeared in his hand.
His indifferent gaze turned to Tong Lin, speaking coldly, "Vile worms."
"Perish."
Su Changqing wielded the axe with one hand, casually slashing.
Boom!
A towering aura of destruction gathered, and a few hundred feet of dark axe light shot forth.
Tong Lin's pupils shrank suddenly, a strong sense of life-and-death crisis erupting wildly from his heart.
The intense crisis, that even moments ago when Su Changqing killed him several times, did not appear.
He had a feeling, if this axe landed... he would truly die!
Without any hesitation, Tong Lin heavily stomped and immediately dodged to the side.
Almost instantly, the axe filled with endless destruction brushed past him, landing amid the crowd of restricted zone creatures.
Boom!
Destruction, darkness, sharpness, the terrifying axe light exploded amongst the crowd.
Instantly, black blood splattered everywhere, and limbs flew.
More than half of the restricted zone creatures perished under this axe, with the rest grievously wounded.
Horrific screams rang out.
These restricted zone creatures fearfully discovered their injuries could not heal.
The terrifying aura of destruction clung to them like maggots on bones, quickly eroding their dark essence within.
And those dead restricted zone creatures no longer had the chance to rise again.
The erupting destructive force had destroyed them entirely in an instant.
Su Changqing's indifferent demeanor remained unchanged.
He stepped forward from the void, black lotuses blooming beneath his feet, walking toward the crowd with the axe in hand.
Though Su Changqing was alone, the terrifying oppressive force made every restricted zone creature present feel fear.
"No, don't come closer, run..."
Knowing they would indeed die, the fear within these restricted zone creatures completely erupted.
Each of them fled desperately, rushing toward the exit.
However.
In his destructive state, had Su Changqing's strength not doubled?
He heavily stomped beneath his feet, moving like lightning, instantly catching up to one.
Without even looking, he casually struck with the axe.
The terrifying destructive aura exploded, and that restricted zone creature burst apart in mid-air.
"Suppress."
Su Changqing spoke coldly, and the Chaos Pearl, emitting an eerie black radiance, appeared above his head.
With a heavy step, the space within a hundred meters instantly ruptured.
"Splat!"
The remaining few forbidden zone creatures were torn to pieces in the shattered space.
The darkness within them was directly obliterated by the omnipresent intent of destruction.
From afar, Chu Xi watched this scene in shock.
At this moment, Su Changqing was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, without a single opponent that could match him.
The once troublesome forbidden zone creatures, previously invincible, were easily crushed in his hands like fragile ants.
Meanwhile.
Tong Lin, who had been calm all along, was now sweating profusely, his face showing panic.
He ran frantically towards the distance, trying to escape from Su Changqing behind him.
But in the next instant, Su Changqing, with white hair fluttering and an indifferent expression, obstructed his path.
"No, I am about to..."
Tong Lin, terrified, tried to say something.
But before he could finish, the surrounding space instantly froze.
Su Changqing's long, fair hand instantly grasped his neck.
With the tightening grip, Tong Lin's terrified expression suddenly exploded in the void.
Far more potent than other forbidden zone creatures, the darkness within him emerged.
Yet this time, they could not regroup as streaks of pure destruction continuously obliterated the darkness within.
Tong Lin's agonizing screams echoed across the heavens and the earth, his soul vanishing along with the obliteration of the source.
Without casting a glance at him, Su Changqing turned to pursue the last one, Jun Yu.
But just at this moment, a trace of struggle appeared in Su Changqing's cold eyes.
"This person still has use!"
Su Changqing summoned the last fragment of consciousness and the brilliance of the Creation Jade Stone within his palace held the black jade in check for a moment.
Seizing the interval to regain his body, Su Changqing waved a hand and dispelled the destructive intent.
He forcibly absorbed the extremely weakened darkness into his inner world.
"Humph!"
In just an instant, the destructive form of 'Su Changqing' reemerged.
He glanced at the disappeared Jun Yu, then turned his gaze toward Chu Xi in the distance.
"All things in the world shall ultimately return to destruction."
In his destructive form, Su Changqing distinguished neither friend nor foe, with only destruction in his heart.
As if his sole purpose since inception was to destroy all existence.
Su Changqing wielded the axe in one hand, his white hair wildly dancing, and walked indifferently towards Chu Xi.
"Hey Su Changqing, it's Chu Xi, snap out of it!"
Chu Xi also noticed something wrong with Su Changqing's state and hurriedly shouted loudly.
But Su Changqing seemed oblivious, quickly closing the distance to Chu Xi and raising the Heaven-Opening Axe.
"You've gone mad, it's Chu Xi, Su Changqing!"
Seeing this, Chu Xi panicked.
Though she was indeed of the Emperor Body, she still had to retreat from the current Su Changqing.
Boom!
Endless darkness erupted, the intent of destruction condensed on the Heaven-Opening Axe.
Just as the axe was about to strike down, intense struggle flashed through Su Changqing's eyes again.
"Get back!"
Su Changqing shouted angrily, as the Creation Jade Disc, Heaven-Opening Axe, and Chaos Pearl suppressed simultaneously.
However, this time without external aid, the black jade fully erupted, and the three divine artifacts couldn't suppress it for a moment.
At this very moment.
The colossal divine phoenix erupted with a towering fire.
A globule of golden flame that made heaven and earth pale surged from the divine phoenix's mouth, enveloping Su Changqing.
Unimaginable heat appeared, along with an extremely unique Nirvana force pouring into Su Changqing.
"Fourth on the Exotic Flame List, Nirvana Flame!"
Witnessing the holy golden flame, Chu Xi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Junior Sister Chu Xi, help Chang Qing refine it; his state is somewhat off."
Miao Feng's anxious voice sounded from within the divine phoenix.
She was receiving inheritance and couldn't act, relying only on this to aid Su Changqing.
"Okay!"
Chu Xi, hearing this, didn't dare delay, and with a soft shout, a vast furnace emerged, suppressing Su Changqing within.
At this moment, the Emperor Body's furnace, Nirvana Flame, along with Chaos Pearl, Heaven-Opening Axe, Creation Jade Disc, and Su Changqing's own consciousness...
All forces were poured in to jointly suppress the exploding black jade.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by a dissatisfied buzz, the black jade finally returned to the life palace, heavily sealed and suppressed by the three divine artifacts.
"Phew... that was close."
Gradually recovering, Su Changqing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was a near escape, successfully suppressing the eerie black jade.
Subsequently, Su Changqing's gaze turned to the inner world.
There, a pure darkness source was attempting to invade his universe.
