On Chaos Mountain, originally due to Cui Liyi’s awakening, the Chaotic Qi surged like boiling water.

It was supposed to be a rare moment for awakening, the Chaotic Qi enveloped his entire body, causing ten thousand miles of cloud waves to roll, intertwining Chaotic Qi and Evil Qi, creating a celestial phenomenon.

Yet at the moment of his complete awakening, countless sealed memories, or perhaps memories he never knew of, exploded like thunder in his sea of consciousness.

The memories of him digging out Su Qingluo’s Immortal Phoenix Bone suddenly flooded his mind.

He found it hard to believe.

Clearly, his heart had gradually turned cold; he shouldn’t care about these things.

But in his mind, her tearful and painful voice kept echoing, along with her incredulous and painful look.

"So... so painful!"

"Wh... why?"

These voices kept resonating in his mind.

The images came too suddenly, like a thousand needles piercing his heart.

Thus, while he was surging towards the peak of awakening, he suddenly paused for reasons unknown.

His ascending power seemed gripped by an invisible hand, halting abruptly.

The soaring Chaotic Qi stopped instantly, the rolling cloud waves froze in midair, the howling Evil Qi fell silent, even the celestial phenomenon seemed to have its breath choked off, becoming a lifeless picture.

He stopped halfway between waking.

Although only one step away, that step made a significant difference, equating to only half an awakening.

At this moment, Cui Liyi floated in midair of Chaos Mountain, his expression dazed.

Seemingly, his Divine Soul had drifted afar.

The Destructive Black Lotus truly wanted to go crazy.

"Why did you stop, hurry up, continue..."

"Success is imminent."

Once successful, he would only be a Chaos Wild Beastman, no longer emotionally tethered by Cui Liyi.

He wouldn’t care if he had wronged Su Qingluo, whether he had dug out Su Qingluo’s Immortal Phoenix Bone.

"Don’t leave it unfinished; if you do, you won’t be able to fully awaken next time."

Even though Cui Liyi’s true form was a Chaos Wild Beastman, complete awakening wasn’t easy.

But once fully awakened, he would truly be a Chaos Wild Beastman.

Otherwise, he would still only be a Fierce Beastman, not a Chaos Wild Beastman, as he couldn’t transform into his true form.

Listening to the angry, anxious urging of the Destructive Black Lotus, suddenly, as if realizing something, Cui Liyi forcefully mobilized the power within him, invoking the Chaotic Qi of Chaos Mountain around him, his power exploding.

The aura around him seemed to explode instantly, directly blasting apart the thread of power from the Destructive Black Lotus.

The intense pain and daze suppressed in his heart turned into a sharp edge that could burn everything at this moment.

Cui Liyi suddenly lifted his eyes, with no trace of confusion left, only a determination sharp as a knife.

The mighty Chaotic Qi emerged vigorously from deep within his bloodline.

The Destructive Black Lotus aura ingrained in his meridians, sea of consciousness, and Divine Soul collided fiercely with this surge of innate brilliance, screeching like snow met with boiling oil.

"Ah..."

The Destructive Black Lotus let out a scream of pain, frantically entwining, howling, and retaliating, trying to pierce back into his body once more, but the aura around Cui Liyi had already changed.

His gaze was incredibly firm, no longer allowing the Destructive Black Lotus aura to reside within him. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"You are a Chaos Wild Beastman, otherwise known as a Destructive Ferocious Beastman; I am the Destructive Black Lotus, our elemental aura originates from the same source, you can’t escape me..."

"Get out."

As Cui Liyi’s angry voice fell, the light around him surged, the Bloodline Power, like a mighty torrent, shook fiercely from within.

Bang!

All the Destructive Black Lotus aura attached to him was forcibly countered, peeled off, shattered, as if flung out by invisible giant force, with large black fog screaming as it erupted violently from his Seven Apertures, pores, limbs, and bones, twisting in the air into a desperate black petal, never able to approach him again.

The Destructive Black Lotus roared tragically, trying to cling again, but could only touch the Bloodline Power erupting from him, for some reason, burning and collapsing upon contact.

Cui Liyi stood in the center of Chaotic Power, shrouded in Evil Qi, his robe fluttering, eerie and mystical.

"From now on, I am just myself, unaffected by your poison."

The Destructive Black Lotus, flung out, revealed its true form, just a strangely beautiful black petal, yet a torn petal.

It continued to speak: "Cui Liyi, you’re totally insane."

"What’s wrong with your mind."

"It was your choice to awaken."

"Or, were you influenced by that Su Qingluo; I’m telling you, she was just tricking you, she approached you to stop your awakening."

"You think you were influenced by me, but do you know if she has power similar to mine."

"I’ve told you before, the Creation Green Lotus is complementary to me, maybe she has the Creation Green Lotus power."

"I helped you probe; back then so many people and forces were sent out but couldn’t kill her, you gave her Illusion Vine Juice, her superpower couldn’t be used at all, yet she did use it, what does that explain, you know best yourself..."

"Without me, you would have been killed by her, to those people, those on the Creation Green Lotus side, beings like us with Destructive Power are original sin."

"Either you die, or I live, it’s all for you..."

As the Destructive Black Lotus continued speaking, its voice softened towards the end.

It seemed somewhat dejected.

Listening to all of this, Cui Liyi appeared as if he hadn’t heard, neither resisting nor complying, only his lips trembled slightly.

He seemed to want to say much, but ultimately paused for a moment.

He looked towards a point in the void, asking gently to those shattered memories, to the intangible past, "Where is the Immortal Phoenix Bone?"

His voice was as light as the wind, only he knew what mood he held at this moment.

The Destructive Black Lotus was stunned, silent.

Cui Liyi glanced at his fingers, suddenly morphing into the beast claw of his true form, the sharp beast claw gleamed with a cutting light.

"You say, because we possess Destructive Power, our existence is an original sin, wouldn’t it be better to kill myself?"

"Or, should we perish together?"

"Others can’t kill me; I have an Undying Body, but I can kill myself, can’t I?"

"I can choose self-destruction."

"Once self-destructed, you won’t survive, will you?"

Listening to this, the Destructive Black Lotus shivered in horror, the black fog throughout trembled.

"You... you’re insane, don’t be impulsive."

Although it was the Destructive Black Lotus, it could still die.

For the Creation Green Lotus had died.

In long ages it never saw the Creation Green Lotus revive.

So it couldn’t die either.

Cui Liyi seemed indifferent to life and death, asked: "Where is the Immortal Phoenix Bone?"

"Don’t try to deceive me."

The Destructive Black Lotus had no choice but to say: "It’s in the Fusang Forest."

Cui Liyi’s gaze froze, his eyes narrowed dangerously, "Fusang Forest? That is a legendary place; you’re fooling me!"
