Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice-Chapter 365: The remaining light of the embers
Chapter 365: The remaining light of the embers
As the Winged Dragon descended, Su Yun's Dragon Horn in the Spirit Realm flew out and collided with the jade tablets.
Yu Jin originally intended to stop it, but he stopped and did not intervene.
Now he was at the end of his strength, even if he made a move, he couldn't stop it.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The jade tablets exploded one by one, and one weakened deity after another descended from the sky. These deities could no longer be called deities, as their divinity had been stripped away. The jade tablets had drawn out their celestial and earthly aura, leaving them with only their own power.
"How did you do it?" Yu Jin ignored these deities and asked.
"It's simple. Tai Sui accidentally told me that the jade tablets were designed by Hakutaku."
Su Yun looked at him with a smile and said, "Back then, the Winged Dragon designed the jade tablets in order to leave this world and return to the Immortal Realm. The jade tablets are actually a kind of sealed and refined formation. The Winged Dragon tried to capture and refine the demons into the jade tablets. He also went to the Luminous Continent to find the Immortal Scrolls. It's clear that he had the same goal as you, which is to go to the Immortal Realm." 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Yu Jin nodded and said, "He just wanted to go to the Immortal Realm alone, too selfish. I'm different. I want to bring the whole world to ascend to the Immortal Realm. You know this, so you guessed that I made a mistake when suppressing the Winged Dragon or Hakutaku and turned them into jade tablets, right?"
Su Yun nodded, "That's right. It's hard to make you suffer a loss. Your cultivation is extremely high, and you are a human-demon hybrid. It's difficult for anyone to deceive you. But I'm different. I have already deceived you once, and that time, I planted a demonic seed in your Dao Heart."
He smiled happily, "With the demonic seed, your desire to submit to me becomes even stronger. This demonic seed will take root and sprout in your Dao Heart, becoming a towering tree that unconsciously affects your judgment. You must personally defeat me, as it has become your obsession."
Yu Jin thought for a moment and nodded.
When Su Yun was rescuing the Kylin and the other thirteen deities, he made a bet with him, but in the end, Yu Jin personally helped Su Yun and the others escape.
This incident almost ruined all his arrangements, forcing him to capture and refine all the deities who had submitted to him into jade tablets, and then make a move against the seven elders of the Heavenly Tower, in order to complete the ninety-six jade tablets.
If it weren't for that failure, he wouldn't have had to work so hard this time and fight desperately against the Kylin and the other deities.
He was forced to this extent all because of his failed bet with Su Yun.
The obsession to personally defeat Su Yun made him stop Qin Wuling, Han Jun, and the Ashen God King. As a result, Su Yun was able to come to the Immortal Scrolls and strike the crack on the Winged Dragon's jade tablet, rescuing the Winged Dragon.
"The second point is that you cannot see through my Dao Heart and capture my thoughts."
Su Yun smiled slightly and said, "I know very well that my attainments in the Dao of the Heart are low, so I went to the Fire Cloud Cave to learn from the current Cave Master, Yu Qingluo, for more than ten days. After more than ten days, no human or demon can probe into my thoughts anymore."
Yu Jin laughed, "Do you want me to praise you for being clever? The reason why you were able to reach this level in just over ten days is actually because you followed Qin Wuling to study the ancient scriptures for seven years and accumulated a solid foundation."
Su Yun didn't understand and asked, "Yu Jin, you don't seem to be worried about your own situation at all. Can you tell me why?"
Yu Jin smiled and said leisurely, "You have put in so much effort to reach this point, seemingly strategizing and taking the upper hand, but have you ever thought about one thing? Just relying on them?"
He sneered, "With the current Winged Dragon and the others, can they defeat me?"
As the Winged Dragon and the others broke free, the Immortal Scrolls no longer trembled, and the light dissipated. The huge Immortal Scroll had always been connected to Yu Jin's body by tentacles, and at this moment, it wriggled and merged with Yu Jin's body.
This Immortal Scroll had always been just a part of his physical body.
Yu Jin's aura gradually recovered.
Su Yun looked towards the Winged Dragon and the others, but his heart sank. He saw that the expressions of the Winged Dragon, Hakutaku, and the others were not good, and their aura was not as strong as before.
Yu Jin stood proudly and said, "They are no longer deities. They are now just a group of powerful divine beasts or monsters. Even if there are ninety-six of them, what do I have to fear?"
Su Yun's eyes twitched.
The Winged Dragon's body slowly transformed into a young man with a yellow shirt, with only one dragon horn. He said lightly, "Yu Jin, everything you have done is going against the heavens, in vain. Do you think that by sending this world to the Immortal Realm, you can save your people?"
Yu Jin frowned slightly, feeling a sense of unease.
He looked around and saw that in each Ashen City, the huge spiritual weapons were swallowing and spitting out the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth, turning the Ashen of this planet into spiritual energy, and turning the spiritual energy into Ashen.
Each Ashen City was releasing the seeds of the creatures from the previous world, spreading them all over the world. These seeds had already begun to take root and reproduce themselves.
However, wherever Yu Jin's gaze reached, he saw that the animals and plants from the previous world were dying and withering on a large scale, losing their vitality, and even ceasing to reproduce!
Hakutaku transformed into a gentle young man, wearing a pair of crystal glasses. He said slowly, "Yu Jin, your era has already passed. The creatures from the previous world cannot survive in this world. Even if you change the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth, they still cannot survive."
Yu Jin looked around and suddenly saw that in one of the Ashen Cities, the Ashen Monsters had already returned to their original forms and turned into his familiar people. However, in the next moment, countless people were struggling to breathe, as if they couldn't catch their breath.
One by one, they fell to the ground, their bodies contorted and trembling violently, transforming into Ashen Monsters!
Suddenly, these people turned into Ashen Monsters, flapped their wings and soared into the air, but in mid-air, they exhausted all their strength and all their lives, and fell helplessly to the ground, smashing into pieces!
The Ashen fell from the sky, and a piece of Ashen fell on Yu Jin's white hair, slowly decomposing and turning into spiritual energy.
Yu Jin spread out his hand, trying to catch a piece of Ashen, but before most of the Ashen fell, it had already turned into spiritual energy."Going against the heavens, it's difficult to achieve success."
The elder of Tongtian Pavilion transformed into a beautiful and charming girl and said, "Your era has been destroyed, it's destiny. How can you go against destiny?"
Su Yun's body trembled.
In various places of Da Qin, many people were infected with the Calamity Ash Disease, turning into Calamity Ash Monsters. Controlled by the desire to kill, they caused chaos everywhere. However, at this moment, the Calamity Ash Disease gradually disappeared from their bodies, and these Calamity Ash Monsters slowly returned to their human form.
They walked aimlessly on the streets, looking at the completely changed city.
More people looked up at the sky. There were several suns in the sky, and there was even a huge land in the sky. The celestial phenomenon was completely unfamiliar.
"Su Yun, your clan is destined to die in the ancient era. You indeed have boundless power and wisdom, sealing them until now to prolong their lives."
The young Hakutaku said, "But the moment they came back to life, they were destined to return to the fate of the ancient era."
The Brave Troops transformed into a black-eyed teenage boy and said, "That is death. Su Yun, you are also a member of Tongtian Pavilion. You should know that besides finding the bridge to the other side, the purpose of Tongtian Pavilion is to prevent the arrival of the next calamity!"
The Lion God transformed into a teenage boy with a lion's head and said in a deep voice, "Su Yun, you are a human and a demon, and also a wise man. Don't be stubborn!"
"Don't be stubborn!" More than ninety gods and demons shouted in unison.
Su Yun's mind was muddled, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Suddenly, the aura of the Calamity Ash God King, who was killing many elders of the Fire Cloud Cave, weakened. He forcefully grabbed his own neck, as if unable to breathe.
The two Calamity Ash God Kings were anxious and abandoned the elders of the Fire Cloud Cave. They flew towards Su Yun while speaking in panic.
"They are saying that I can't breathe." Ying Ying appeared on Su Yun's shoulder and whispered.
Before the two god kings reached this side, their bodies began to rapidly turn into Calamity Ash. Their cultivation bases condensed into Calamity Ash in the blink of an eye!
"Boom!"
One of the Calamity Ash God Kings was thrown out by inertia and crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
The other Calamity Ash God King shouted loudly, reaching out his hand as if seeking help, but in an instant, his entire body turned into a black stone sculpture.
Su Yun stared blankly at this scene, a sense of death and decay emanating from him.
"Why?"
He lowered his head, his white-haired teenage head trembling, "Why didn't they leave us a way out? Why did they want to erase even the last hope..."
As he spoke, the words in his mouth turned into Calamity Ash language, making it incomprehensible.
Ying Ying appeared next to Su Yun's ear and quietly translated, "He is blaming the heavens and the earth, complaining that the heavens are heartless and the heavenly dao is unfair."
While Su Yun was studying with Yu Qingluo in the Fire Cloud Cave, Ying Ying was busy learning the Calamity Ash language from Yan Qingzhou, so she could roughly understand what Su Yun was saying.
"...He said he has exhausted all methods. Is the outcome destined to be failure?"
Ying Ying struggled to translate, and Su Yun suddenly stopped, quiet for a moment, and then muttered to himself in a calm tone.
Ying Ying said, "He said not all Calamity Ash Cities have surfaced. This time, he triggered a great change in the world, but because he had to activate the Immortal Talisman, the other side of the ocean, Yuan Shuo, was not affected. Therefore, there are still his sealed clan members underground in Yuan Shuo..."
When Su Yun heard this, his face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted without thinking, "Brothers and sisters, kill Su Yun immediately!"
Before he finished speaking, Su Yun had already made the first move!
Su Yun's first attack was aimed at the young Hakutaku. The young Hakutaku was proficient in all kinds of divine abilities and almost omniscient. But now, due to exhaustion of his vitality, he couldn't even defend against Su Yun's sneak attack!
"Boom!"
The young Hakutaku spat out blood from his mouth and flew backward. The Winged Dragon attacked, plucked off its dragon horn, and used it as a weapon to kill Su Yun!
Su Yun retreated, allowing the dragon horn to pierce his own body. He twisted his neck and turned his head into a spiritual weapon, slashing towards the Winged Dragon!
Many other gods and demons rushed forward, but Su Yun seemed to know all their thoughts and understood all their attacks. He only got hit when there was no way to avoid it.
Every one of his strikes was extremely deadly and effective. Even powerful beings like the Winged Dragon and the Brave Troops found it difficult to dodge his attacks!
In the blink of an eye, ninety-six gods and demons were mostly dead or injured!
Young Su Yun's body was covered in wounds and blood, some from the gods and demons, and some from himself.
Su Yun's face changed dramatically, and he quickly turned his head to look. He saw that the Holy Buddha, Dao Saint, and the elders of the Fire Cloud Cave were all heavily injured and lying on the ground, even Luo Wanyi and Jiang Zushi were lying in a pool of blood.
"At this time, even if a saint were to come and suppress Su Yun's demonic nature, preventing him from sensing the thoughts of the Winged Dragon and the others..."
Just as he thought of this, the panic in his heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a calmness like a continuous spring.
Su Yun turned around and saw Qin Wuling and Han Jun, each with two majestic spiritual beings behind them. One resembled a Buddha, holding various Buddhist treasures with a thousand arms, and the other resembled a Great Scholar, holding a scripture, dispelling the demons in the hearts of the gods and demons, stabilizing their Dao hearts.
"These two..." Su Yun grunted.
Ying Ying, puzzled, asked, "Why are they helping us again?"
"They just want to take advantage of the situation. It's more advantageous for them to stand on our side."
Su Yun turned back and focused on the battle, saying lightly, "And they want to exile me."
In the battle between Su Yun and the many gods and demons, the level of bloodshed was beyond imagination. In the end, with the final blow, both the Winged Dragon and Su Yun fell almost simultaneously.
Su Yun's eyes twitched, and he muttered in a low voice, "Su Yun is a human and a demon. He will resurrect by possessing another body..."
Just at this moment, Su Yun staggered to his feet. His body was covered in tattered flesh and blood. He laughed, "I won, I won—"
"Whoosh!"
A sound of breaking through the air came from behind Su Yun. Han Jun and Qin Wuling almost simultaneously attacked, one from the left and one from the right, smashing Su Yun to pieces!The spirit of the residual ashes had just emerged from the shattered body when it saw these two people activating the Seven-Faced Heavenly Que that had fallen from the spirit world of the residual ashes. Han Jun turned his head to look at Su Yun, stuttering, "Where's the eighth one?"
Su Yun stepped forward, taking out the newly refined Eighth-Faced Heavenly Que.
The Eighth-Faced Heavenly Que burst forth, forming a heavenly gate in the sky.
Han Jun and Qin Wuling strained to hold the spirit of the residual ashes in place, only to see a sword light flying out from the heavenly gate.
"Master Su, don't forget, you can never return to Yuan Shuo." Qin Wuling and Han Jun whispered.
The sword light of the immortal sword fell, piercing through the brow of the spirit of the residual ashes.
