Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family-Chapter 189 - 182 The Death of Meng Hedong

In the forest, a silence prevailed.

Only the sobbing sound of the wind drifted back and forth through the woods.

Clang.

Chen Chou’er looked at Meng Hedong, who had completely perished, and the bloodstained dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

In a pool of blood that gradually spread.

On Meng Hedong’s lifeless, pale face, there was only confusion, no resentment.

Because.

Until the moment he was killed by Chen Chou’er, he never doubted that Chen Chou’er had betrayed him.

He was only thinking.

This brother of mine must have been under the illusion skill of the Celestial Wave Divine Son, Xiao Ping, and thus struck him down.

"Brother Meng..."

Chen Chou’er clutched his chest, gasping heavily.

The knife thrust into Meng Hedong’s body.

It also dissected his soul, placing his soul on a torture rack of a thousand cuts, enduring the unbearable punishment!

A pain like never before surged, causing Chen Chou’er to collapse on one knee to the ground.

It wasn’t a pain of the physical body, but one from his very soul!

It was a feeling of unprecedented great sorrow!

He knelt on the ground, looking at Meng Hedong’s gradually chilling corpse, countless memories of times with Meng Hedong flooded his mind.

The battles they fought side by side, their laughter and cursing together, their rise from unnoticed youths to world-renowned prodigies!

In just a few short years.

They experienced so much together.

Just as he had said.

Meng Hedong was the only one in this world who treated him with genuine kindness and warmth.

In countless dark nights, it was Meng Hedong who offered him a hand, pulling him out of the dirt.

He brought Chen Chou’er back to the Meng Family, proudly introducing him in front of many others of the Meng Family:

"This is the only brother I’ve acknowledged in my life, Meng Hedong!"

Once, the two had gone to the West Desert and were bitten by the poisonous Red Fire Ant King, both on the brink of death.

Little Poison Immortal didn’t hesitate to rush thirty thousand miles back to the Medicine King Valley, to get the antidote from the Medicine King Xunn Puzi.

And at the moment Meng Hedong received the antidote, he only said three words.

"Give it to him first."

Those three simple words bore a strength far surpassing a thousand eloquent speeches!

He still remembered.

Meng Hedong breaking through to the True Self Realm, slaying Upper Realm beasts, defeating True Self Third Layer Great Demons, countless people acclaimed him as the greatest prodigy of this era.

That youth known throughout the world stood beside him atop a mountain, looking down at the mortal world.

With a grin, full of spirit:

"If I Meng Hedong ever achieve great accomplishments, then half of this world is yours!"

Scenes poured into Chen Chou’er’s mind like a tidal wave.

Such a person, who was the only one to show him kindness in this world, was stabbed to death by his own hand!

"Ah!"

"Ah!!!"

Chen Chou’er knelt on the ground, clutching his chest, crying out to the sky in grief.

As he cried, he bent over, his voice becoming hoarse.

"Bufu... I’ll change my name to Yuann Bufu, hahaha..." Chen Chou’er laughed with anguish, his black hair gradually turning gray at that moment.

And amidst the waves of overwhelming pain.

Chen Chou’er’s whole body’s aura began advancing towards the True Self Realm!

The more it hurt! The stronger he became!

In his mind, a shadow of an ancient serpent suddenly appeared!

The whole serpent shrouded in countless mists of chaos, only a pair of indifferent emerald green eyes could be seen.

That was... the Primordial Ancient Serpent, the World-Encircling Serpent!

After an unknown amount of time.

All noise gradually ceased.

Chen Chou’er, his face expressionless, severed Meng Hedong’s head, wrapped it in a piece of black cloth, and tied it to his waist.

Then.

He, like a walking corpse, knelt on the ground, digging out clumps of earth with his own hands, creating a deep pit.

"Brother Meng, every Qingming Festival from now on, I will come to pay my respects to you."

He gently placed Meng Hedong’s body into the pit, muttering to himself:

"If I die in the future, I’ll find a way to come here and be buried with you."

"I will repay all my sins in the next life."

Finishing his words.

Chen Chou’er bowed deeply, kowtowing towards the small mound of earth.

Just as Chen Chou’er was about to leave.

"Brother Bufu, I’m back!"

A female voice, as clear as a yellow oriole, rang out.

A girl in yellow clothing came leaping from afar.

Even from a distance, the girl in yellow wiped the sweat off her forehead and said:

"Brother Bufu, it was so dangerous just now, I encountered a poisonous flood dragon, if not for my good luck and quick reflexes, I might not have made it back."

"Look, this is the roast chicken I sold outside, there doesn’t seem to be a place called Tiaoma Town outside, luckily there’s an inn on the main road..."

The yellow-clad girl spoke as she approached.

Suddenly.

All sound abruptly stopped.

The roast chicken wrapped in oil paper in the Little Poison Immortal’s hands fell to the ground.

She stared dumbly at the blood-covered, white-haired Chen Chou’er, her voice trembling as she spoke:

"No... Brother Bufu, where is Brother Meng? What’s that hanging from your waist?"

Hearing this, Chen Chou’er said nothing, only sighed suddenly.

In the next moment.

He gently waved his right hand, and the Little Poison Immortal’s body immediately softened, and she fainted.

Step by step, he walked over to the Little Poison Immortal and then lifted his hand, gathering countless True Essence in his palm.

Looking at the Little Poison Immortal’s face, peacefully asleep.

After much hesitation, Chen Chou’er let out a long sigh and said:

"Enough!"

In the next moment.

The True Essence in his hand dissipated, and then he took a step, instantly transforming into a white streak of light, disappearing into the vast sky.

...

...

At the same time.

In the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, within the Divine Son’s Mansion.

In the dedicated training room, Chen Zhixing sat cross-legged on a mat, slowly opened his eyes.

"True Self Fourth Layer, achieved!"

As Chen Zhixing’s words fell.

Boom——!

His entire body emitted immortal golden light, his whole physical body appeared as if crafted from divine muscles and bones, radiating celestial brilliance and divine light.

Even his jet black hair, which automatically floated upwards, each strand glowed with celestial luminescence.

He sat cross-legged there, from a distance, like an indestructible Celestial God!

During these three days, Chen Zhixing secluded himself in cultivation, finally condensing the fourth Great Tao Seed and simultaneously outlining the fourth Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect!

The fourth Great Tao, Flesh Body Tao!

This is also one of the deepest comprehended Taos by Chen Zhixing, besides the Power Tao!

"I’ve become stronger again....."

Chen Zhixing’s gaze was fierce, as he looked down at his palm.

A surging and overwhelming power seemed ready to explode at any moment from his extremely domineering physical body!

"Every breakthrough brings me an overall enhancement."

"But this breakthrough to True Self Fourth Layer, condensing the Flesh Body Tao Seed, has most notably enhanced my physical body defense!"

Chen Zhixing muttered to himself.

He could feel that with the condensing of the Flesh Body Tao Seed, his incredibly strong physical defense had increased by at least fifty percent!

To know.

His current physical body strength, increased by fifty percent!

What kind of terrifying concept does this represent?

"I fear anything below True Self Seventh Layer doesn’t even have the qualifications to injure me."

Chen Zhixing constantly speculated and analyzed his own strength.

To be honest, with his all-encompassing enhancements, he now was unsure, if he unleashed his power fully for an all-out battle.

What level could his strength reach!

"If only I could have a real battle without reservations to test my strength."

Chen Zhixing shook his head.

Then.

As Chen Zhixing was preparing to condense the Gravity Tao Seed simultaneously, to break through to True Self Fifth Layer.

[Ding! The Celestial Chosen Protagonist has died because of you, you will deprive the opponent of some Fortune and talent ability!]

[Ding! Your Fortune Value initial value is 600%, increased by 300%! Total Fortune Value 900%!]

[Ding! Your title: Great Luck]

[Ding! You have obtained: Heaven-Burning Divine Body!]

[Ding! You have obtained: Flame Tao Enlightenment!]

[Ding! You have obtained: Nameless Fire Technique: World-Ending Golden Lotus!]

A series of cold prompt sounds suddenly echoed in Chen Zhixing’s mind.

"Hmm? Meng Hedong died?"

Chen Zhixing raised his eyebrows, then couldn’t help but a faint smile appeared on his face.

Since these prompt sounds appeared in his mind, it could be confirmed.

One of the nine Celestial Chosen Protagonists, Meng Hedong, is already dead!

Regarding Meng Hedong.

Actually, Chen Zhixing’s attitude and perception towards him were different from the previous Celestial Chosen Protagonists.

Meng Hedong wasn’t bad.

On the contrary, not only was Meng Hedong not bad, but he was sentimental and righteous, loyal to his family and friends!

In him.

Chen Zhixing saw a rare thing called ’youthfulness’.

He didn’t have any aversion or dislike for Meng Hedong.

But matters of the world are often beyond control, the line between good and evil is not always clear-cut.

Once standing on opposing sides, it is destined to end with life or death!

Back then, Meng Hedong’s father wanted to assassinate Chen Zhixing, ended up being killed by Chen Tianliang.

This kind of father-killing feud, irreconcilable!

With Meng Hedong’s talent and Fortune, if not killed now, Meng Hedong in the future will be a major threat to the Chen Family!

And if Chen Zhixing’s compassion spared Meng Hedong.

Who could guarantee that when matured, Meng Hedong would spare the Chen Family? Spare his father’s killer, Chen Tianliang?

Therefore.

For the sake of those he cares about.

Meng Hedong must die!

Chen Zhixing must eliminate all potential threats in the cradle!

Temporary compassion will only place oneself in danger and vulnerable positions!

"Meng Hedong’s untimely death, this East Profound Domain... it truly might fall into chaos."

"The great era is about to descend, and the only thing I can do is to become stronger, stronger!!"

Chen Zhixing exhaled deeply, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.

Not enough!

His strength is still not enough!

Once the battle truly begins, even those in the True Self Realm might be reduced to frontline soldiers charging into battle.

The real decision-makers in the victory will only be those in Nirvana Realm, even Peak Realm ancestors!

In the next moment.

Chen Zhixing began accepting the rewards in his mind.

Seeing this long list of information.

He already had an idea of the sixth Great Tao he must pursue!

This time, killing Meng Hedong rewarded him with the highest ever Fortune and talent ability!

In the next moment.

Chen Zhixing closed his eyes again.

Boom——!

A unique creation began!!
