Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

"Talk to me about the Outer Domain, will you?"

"I can make your death a bit quicker."

Chang Qing sat cross-legged in the void with ease, speaking softly and calmly.

"Hahaha, don't even think about it, even if I die..."

"Aaaahhh!"

Before Tong Lin could finish, Chang Qing had already raised a hand and gently grasped.

In an instant, the heavens and earth surrounding Tong Lin collapsed with a roar.

The terrifying force generated by the shattering world tore through Tong Lin's original body in an instant.

The extreme pain made Tong Lin scream involuntarily.

"I know this power won't kill you,"

Chang Qing watched calmly, and said lightly, "But the pain of dying, I wonder how long you can endure it?"

"A month? A year? Or ten years?"

"I have plenty of time; if you're not afraid, then so be it."

Boom!

The moment the words fell, the area where Tong Lin was located collapsed again.

Before he could recover, Chang Qing spread his hands and gently pulled, stretching that piece of heaven and earth indefinitely.

Tong Lin, caught within, let out screams that grew increasingly shrill and terrified.

In this realm, Chang Qing could act at will.

He could make Tong Lin endure unimaginable and endless suffering.

For beings from the forbidden zone, Chang Qing felt no mercy.

"Speak! Stop, I'll tell you!"

After only a few rounds, Tong Lin could no longer bear it, shouting out in terror.

"It seems your spirit isn't as strong as I thought."

Chang Qing smiled slightly and said, "Tell me something of interest, or else..."

Tong Lin hurriedly nodded upon hearing, "I know about the Outer Domain, I came from there!"

"Every forbidden zone on the Cangyan Continent has slots for recommending prodigies to enter the Outer Domain."

"Pure Outer Domain demons exist there, they're very strong, there's even a Great Emperor among them!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Qing's pupils constricted sharply.

Pure demons...a Great Emperor...

The Cangyan Continent births a Great Emperor only once every ten thousand years, and none are alive now.

Yet unexpectedly...there's a Great Emperor in the Outer Domain!

"Given their strength, why don't they directly invade the Cangyan Continent?"

Chang Qing asked aloud.

"The Cangyan Continent has methods left behind by the Heavenly Dao and the Great Emperor!"

Tong Lin hurriedly explained, "Although all the Great Emperors of the Cangyan Continent are dead."

"Their bodies, Emperor's Weapons, and the Dao fruits they cultivated throughout their lifetimes remain in the Outer Domain."

"They have become the first line of defense against the Outer Domain demons."

Chang Qing was enlightened upon hearing this.

No wonder throughout history many Great Emperors have been born, yet no one has truly seen their remains.

Even the Emperor's Weapons left behind are extremely rare.

It turns out even in death, those Great Emperors continue to fight to protect the continent.

Thinking of this, Chang Qing could not help but feel a solemn respect.

However, he then frowned slightly and said, "No matter how strong the methods left by the Great Emperors are, can they really match a living Great Emperor?"

"And then there's the Heavenly Dao."

Tong Lin smiled bitterly, "I've heard some demons say it before."

"The Outer Domain demons are countless and powerful, capable of easily annihilating all life on the Cangyan Continent."

"But the Heavenly Dao uses itself as a lock, sealing away a large group of powerful demon beings."

"Thus, the Great Emperors born on the Cangyan Continent can barely fend off the Outer Domain demons' attacks."

"But the seal is only temporary, and as time passes, the Heavenly Dao can no longer hold."

"They say this is the final era, a deal seems to have been made between the Heavenly Dao and the Outer Domain demons."

Chang Qing's eyes narrowed, "A deal?"

"My status in the Outer Domain is not high, so what I know is not very accurate."

Tong Lin recalled, "But from what I've gathered, it seems related to the Imperial Road."

"This generation's Imperial Road will open in the Outer Domain."

"At that time, not only prodigies from the Cangyan Continent can participate, but so can the Outer Domain demons."

"This generation's Great Emperor will be the most powerful, cultivated by both the Heavenly Dao and demons!"

Chang Qing was greatly shaken.

That the Heavenly Dao would strike such a deal with demons shows just how dire the situation has become.

Moreover, this generation's Great Emperor is to be cultivated by both the Heavenly Dao and demons.

What does this imply?

The demons covet the continent's destiny, while the Heavenly Dao needs the demons' endless resources or profound heritage.

This is a high-stakes gamble.

If the Heavenly Dao loses the gamble, then this generation's Great Emperor will belong to the demon race, a certain loss for them.

And if the demon race loses...it will mark the beginning of the final battle.

Then, unable to maintain the Heavenly Dao's seal, it will become a world-shattering battle between the most powerful Great Emperor and the sealed demon forces.

"The Heavenly Dao is very confident..."

Chang Qing didn't know much, but he could see the Heavenly Dao's unwavering belief in the victory of this world.

If it weren't so, the Heavenly Dao would never have made such a deal with the evil spirits.

"When will the Emperor's path open?" Chang Qing asked gravely.

This was an extremely crucial moment, affecting even countless living beings.

"After the Destiny Redistribution Platform!"

Tong Lin spoke: "This time, each of the major forbidden areas have invited back numerous peerless prodigies from the Outer Domain."

"To compete for destiny, the Destiny Redistribution Platform is very important."

"The idea of the major forbidden areas is... to take down all the redistribution platforms!"

Upon hearing the arrogant ambitions of the forbidden areas, Chang Qing couldn't help but laugh in rage, "Arrogant!"

The forbidden areas might be strong, but the Cangyan Continent is not weak either.

Those peerless prodigies like Chu Xi and Miao Feng, who are lurking across the world, are by no means few in number.

"Is it very arrogant?"

Tong Lin, knowing he was doomed, no longer tread carefully, and said with a cold smile:

"The continent's prodigies are very strong, but do you think everyone is like you?"

"In terms of combat strength alone, you are the strongest divine realm I've ever seen, even those pure evil spirits are far inferior."

"But even so, what of it?"

"Without that... terrifying method, can you confidently claim assured victory against me?"

Boom!

Upon hearing this, Chang Qing's face completely changed, and he suddenly stood up.

Exactly!

He had forgotten the most crucial point, the undying bodies possessed by the evil spirits of the Outer Domain.

He possessed the destructive form, naturally fearless.

But do the other prodigies of the Cangyan Continent all possess such methods?

He asked himself that his combat strength was already strong enough.

Yet even so, it took exhausting all his methods, risking everything to summon the black jade to suppress Tong Lin.

What should the others do then?

"You may defend one Destiny Redistribution Platform."

Seeing Chang Qing's drastic change in expression, Tong Lin sneered, "But elsewhere, no one can stop them!"

Chang Qing was silent for a long time after hearing this, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, he spoke coldly, "Tell me the location of your forbidden area and the specific coordinates of all the major forbidden areas on the continent."

Tong Lin did not play tricks and informed him one by one.

Looking at Chang Qing who was standing up, he knew his time had come.

"Immortality is alluring, but darkness is repugnant."

Tong Lin looked at Chang Qing and laughed softly, "No need to look at me with such eyes."

"I submit to immortality, not darkness. I merely chose the path that would win."

Chang Qing didn't respond and slowly released the suppressive black jade, summoning a trace of destructive power.

Amidst the harrowing screams, Tong Lin's divine sense within the dark source was completely obliterated.

"The Human Race will win, but you won't be able to see it..."

Chang Qing mumbled, retracting the destructive power in his palm.

Now, with Tong Lin's soul dissipating, what remained was only that pure dark source.

Chang Qing did not immediately destroy it but thought to study it.

What exactly was this so-called undying energy?

But before he could get close to the dark source, the black jade he had just loosened the suppression of suddenly shook violently.

The raging destructive power overthrew the suppression of the Creation Jade Plate and crashed straight into Chang Qing's internal world.

In Chang Qing's astonished gaze, the strange black jade and the dark source quickly fused.

In an instant, an overwhelming dark aura spread throughout this world.

In the firmament, the Fire of Destiny blazed brightly, stubbornly resisting the invasion of darkness.

Chang Qing also hastily mobilized the Power of Heaven and Earth to block the ever-spreading darkness.

At this time, a subtle balance appeared in his internal world.

One side was as bright as day, the other as dark as night.

Neither side could overpower the other, only temporarily maintaining this situation.

But this couldn't continue, Chang Qing couldn't stay in his internal world forever.

"Fire, come!"

In a flash of thought, Chang Qing gritted his teeth and softly commanded.

In an instant, the Nirvana Flame he had recently refined merged into his body from the outside world.

The overwhelming golden flame erupted, and the exceedingly hot strange fire fell on the black jade, intending to break the deadlock with it.

Yet unexpectedly, the black jade and dark source in the midst of merging, like a giant beast, swallowed the golden fire seed in one gulp.

Boom!

The black jade, dark source, plus the special nirvana power of the Nirvana Flame seemed to produce a peculiar reaction among the three.

The dark source continually intertwined and pulled from the void, as if nurturing something.

Within a short time, under Chang Qing's dumbfounded gaze.

A man with white hair and black eyes, black markings engraved on his forehead, appeared before him, his expression indifferent and cold.

His whole body was surrounded by strange black flames, his appearance...

Was exactly the same as Chang Qing!
