Chapter 444 – Going to the Devil

Chapter 444 – Entering the Devil by Fire
“Senior Brother Shang, you ……”

Blue Moon and Empyrean Heavenly King were all in disbelief.

They simply couldn’t figure out why their own senior brother, Shang Heyun, would do such a thing.

Including all of the Rising Sun Hall disciples below who had seen this scene, a look of utter disbelief similarly appeared on their faces.

“Master Shang he ……?”

Brush–

However, what answered them were precisely two more sharp rays of dark light.

One could only see that Shang He Yun had changed the violent anger on his face, and instead was revealing a touch of icy cold to the extreme killing intent.

“Senior Sister Lan, Senior Brother Kongming, don’t blame me.

I merely wanted to continue living.”

“Live on?”

Blue Moon and Empyrean Heavenly King were first stunned, then they looked like they understood something and asked with some disbelief:
“Senior Brother Shang, Hu Wentian and the others, what exactly did they promise you? Surprisingly, it could allow you to go against our original intentions and break the promises you once made.”

“Initial heart? Promises?”

On Shang He Yun’s face, a hint of self-deprecation suddenly flashed across.

He shook his head.

“Senior Sister Lan, Senior Brother Empyrean, you guys don’t understand me at all.

From the beginning to the end, my original intention was just to survive.

When I founded the Rising Sun Hall together with you guys, I fought against the oppression of the great sects as it were.

Right now, it is the same for me to choose to submit to the Great Ling Dynasty and that lord outside the realm.”

These words were instantly like a blow of a heavy hammer that landed hard on the hearts of Blue Moon and Empty Sky Sky Monarch.

So much so that their faces, once again, turned pale.

Original.

Since the beginning, they really hadn’t understood Shang He Yun.

The so-called original heart, the so-called wish, the so-called promise, were all just tools he used to develop himself, to be able to continue to become stronger and live.

At the expense of them treating him as their elder brother, an object that they could completely rely on and rest assured.

False, it turned out to be all false!

Or to be precise, it was they themselves who had misjudged and trusted the wrong person.

For a time, Blue Moon and Empyrean Sky Sovereign’s hearts were vaguely destabilized.

The aura on their bodies was even higher and lower, clearly showing signs of going off the deep end.

However, the opposite of them, Shang He Yun, Hu Wentian, as well as Luo Tianba and the others, were not going to hold back in the slightest.

Taking advantage of the two people’s inner shock of this effort, but also a painful killer.

In just a moment, Blue Moon and Empyrean Heavenly King were seriously injured.

They were about to fall.

But right at this moment, in the void, there was suddenly a green-colored light that suddenly blossomed.

It instantly transformed into a shield.

Only a series of clanking sounds were heard.

The attacks of Shang He Yun and Hu Wentian’s several people that landed on top of that green-colored shield actually only splashed a series of sparks.

It was simply unable to break the defense of the cyan shield.

This caused the pupils of the several people of Shang Heyun to immediately shrink.

Brush! Brush! Brush!
The several people’s figures immediately exploded back.

At the same time, at the place where they originally stood, a green-colored sword qi swept straight through, bringing up a distorted spatial ripple.

What was that?

The eyes of Hu Wentian, Shang Heyun, and Luo Tianba all stared.

They fixed their eyes on it.

They saw that in that void, space suddenly opened up.

Immediately afterward, two people walked out from it.

A man and a woman.

It was Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

At this moment, they looked around and their gazes finally landed on Blue Moon and Empty Heavenly King, nodding their heads.

“Fortunately, it seems like we didn’t come too late.”

With that, they saw Jiang Chengxuan raise his hand and strike out a sword qi.

That sword Qi was golden in color.

In an instant, it split into countless threads.

It instantly skimmed towards the battlefield below.

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff-

“Uhh!”

“Ah!”

In this instant, countless demons and East Extreme Central Region cultivators all let out miserable screams from their mouths.

Jiang Chengxuan, however, no longer paid attention to the situation below, but instead, he returned his gaze to the bodies of Blue Moon and Empty Sky Sky Monarch.

“Fellow Daoists, what path we take, what we do, what we wish for, that’s all just our own business, it has nothing to do with others, outsiders.

The road to Immortal Cultivation is long, and who hasn’t encountered some betrayal, mistakes, and confusion along the way?
If you want to punish yourself for this, and fall into the dead end of thinking, then isn’t that handing over your heart to someone else, or something else?

In this way, besides proving that our hearts, wishes, and promises are just like the dew in the morning, which dries up as soon as the sun shines on them, is there any other significance?”

These words, immediately like the purest enlightenment, so that originally still a bit bewildered pain, the heart suffered a blow to the blue moon and empty tomorrow gentleman, the spirit immediately for a tremor.

Originally there were still some highs and lows, uncertain breath, but also instantly became solid again.

Along with their essence, they were also on a higher level.

It was like wolf smoke that shot up into the sky.

“Many thanks to fellow Daoist Jiang for mentioning this.”

Blue Moon and Empyrean Sky Monarch bowed down at once.

“You’re right, on the path to Immortal Cultivation, all accidents are just tests of the truth or falsity of our own minds.

As the saying goes, if the knife is not sharpened it is not favorable, if the jade is not faceted, if the heart is not refined it doesn’t know whether it is true or false, we have just, instead, fallen into a dead end and almost lost all our lives.

Please accept our obeisance.”

Saying that, Blue Moon and Empyrean Heavenly Monarch, once again bowed down deeply towards Jiang Chengxuan.

This was the grace of awakening to the Way of Enlightenment, like an abyss or an ocean.

A mere bow was simply not enough to express their gratitude.

However, right now, it was clearly not the occasion to express gratitude.

Jiang Chengxuan didn’t care about that either.

Then he saw him turn to the opposite side of Shang Heyun, Hu Wentian, as well as Luo Tianba and the others, and said with a faint smile:

“A few of you are in good spirits, and are willing to give up anything in order to stay alive.

Such ‘vigor’, I admit that I am not as good as them.”

The faces of Shang Heyun, Hu Wentian, Luo Tianba and the others changed immediately.

To be honest, they truly hadn’t expected that they and the others, in the middle of this Rising Sun Hall’s mountain gate, would meet these two fiends, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

This made their hearts, which were still secure, immediately become uncertain.

A trace of uncertainty was also brought to their faces.

Obviously.

In the face of these two people, neither Shang Heyun, nor Hu Wentian, nor Luo Tianba had the slightest certainty that they would be able to successfully escape from their hands.

Yes.

At this moment.

What the several people were thinking about had long since ceased to be anything else, but rather, they were considering what method should be used to successfully get out of the hands of the two of them, the couple.

As if they could tell what was on the minds of the several people, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but glance at each other.

The two of them also stopped having anything to say.

Then they saw Jiang Chengxuan’s figure suddenly disappear in place.

A golden line suddenly swept through the air.

Only a giggling sound was heard.

Luo Tianba, who was originally still standing there, alerting his surroundings, his entire body suddenly just trembled.

In the next moment, a thin golden line suddenly emerged from his body.

Immediately afterward, that golden thin line started from his forehead and extended all the way down.

In the end, with a crash, his entire person was directly dissected into two halves.

Along with his Yuan Shen, he was completely decimated in midair.

The spirit was destroyed.

“General Luo!”

Seeing Luo Tianba fall just like that, Hu Wentian, Shang Heyun, and the Spirit Transformation Cultivators from the Three Suns Sect and the Chu Clan all had horrified faces.

They no longer dared to delay.

Without saying a word, their silhouettes suddenly transformed into a trail of shadow, and they wanted to tear through the void.

Crackle…

However, just at this moment, an electric light suddenly flickered in the eyes of the Chu Clan’s Transformation Spirit cultivators.

Before he could react, the overbearing and fierce thunder had already turned him into a charred mess from the inside out.

It could be seen that a trace of electric arcs that remained on him still swept out from the seven orifices of that humanoid charcoal from time to time.

Wow…

At the same time.

The other two Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Three Suns Sect and the Ling Yao Sword Sect respectively were suddenly submerged by countless pieces of earth and rocks, which were then wrapped around them, and eventually reduced to a mouthful of tombstones.

It smashed to the ground with a rumble.

It splashed up a huge wave of aura frenzy.

It was none other than the earth divine ability Jiang Chengxuan had comprehended, “Heavenly Burial”.

This, in turn, caused the remaining Hu Wentian and Shang Heyun to be even more appalled in their hearts.

Those two, their strength had long been beyond the realm of ordinary God Transformation cultivators.

The two of them were simply not even qualified to fight against them, let alone fight against them.

A trace of flesh pain flashed in Hu Wentian’s eyes.

However, in the next moment, he still clenched his teeth fiercely and took out a black jade token from his body, and then threw it out backwards.

Buzz!
The black jade token was just thrown out by Hu Wentian.

In the void, a circle of distorted black ripples rippled.

A gust of evil aura filled the air.

In just an instant’s effort, an evil demon with a head born with two legs, red eyes, and a steel fork in its hand appeared in Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes.

Looking at its aura, the strength of this evil demon had actually reached the sixth level of the Transformation Spirit.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes couldn’t help but both condense.

”Good fellow, it seems like that Soul Heavenly Sovereign Envoy is still hiding quite a few cards in his hands.

Surprisingly, he even had this kind of inhuman, ghostly thing.

But you think, with this kind of thing, can stop us, can only say, think too naive.

Wow–

In Jiang Chengxuan’s hand, the Gengjin Void Sword suddenly bloomed with golden light.

Buzz!
It was only seen flickering slightly in mid-air.

When it appeared, it actually swept right through the evil demon’s block and appeared in front of Hu Wentian’s chest.

“How …… how?”

Hu Wentian immediately stared with wide eyes and an unbelievable expression.

Jiang Chengxuan, however, didn’t bullshit with him.

He reached out and gently held his hand in the air.

Boom!
Above the Gengjin Void Sword, endless sword awnings surged.

Only a series of sounds could be heard from giggling and puffing.

All the defensive treasures on Hu Wentian’s body were all chopped to pieces by the Gengjin Void Sword at this moment.

Immediately afterward, his entire person was reduced to nothingness in the midst of extreme unwillingness.

At the same time.

The overbearing and powerful Five Thunder Immortal Cutting Sword had already ruthlessly swept through the huge body of that evil demon.

Crackling-

One could see endless flashes of lightning.

There were also countless golden colored thunder lights interspersed among them.

That was clearly the Evil-Preventing Divine Thunder that had the most restraining effect on evil demons.

“Roar!”

The Evil Demon roared up to the sky.

But it was in the next second that its huge and evil body was shattered inch by inch under the countless thunderbolts, eventually completely turning into flying ash.

To describe this Evil Demon with the phrase “Handsome but not for three seconds” was not at all out of place.

Whoosh…

Right at this moment, Shang He Yun’s figure had already crossed a countless distance.

He was terrified in his heart.

Especially when he unintentionally saw that Hu Wentian and his evil demon were both living and dying under Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s attacks, the fear in his heart grew more and more intense.

Quickly, faster!
He couldn’t help but roar angrily in his heart.

The entire mana of his entire body boiled up.

Even his Yuan Shen, at this moment, was burned with all his might.

In order to do so, he hoped to escape from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s men.

However, what made him feel cold was that just as his figure swept through tens of thousands of miles of altitude once again, the void suddenly rippled in all directions.

At this moment, his figure was almost imprisoned in place.

No matter how much he pushed his mana, burned his Yuan Shen, and tore through the void.

All of it was simply useless.

Why? Why in the world is this?
His mind roared madly.

I merely want to live, why do I have to die!
Boom!
Suddenly, Shang He Yun’s pair of eyes were suddenly glowing with a blood color.

The aura on his body was actually three times stronger than before.

“Huh?”

A voice of astonishment suddenly came from the air.

In the next moment, the figures of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan appeared in front of Shang Heyun’s eyes.

“Is this a sign of going off the deep end?”

Jiang Chengxuan suddenly was frowning.

Shen Ruyan on the side was nodding.

“It should be.”

After a pause, she heard her add:
“Husband, have you noticed that in today’s Nine Elements Immortal Cultivation Realm, the probability of cultivators cultivating and going off the deep end is getting higher and higher.

With so much as a slight crack in the heart nature, it is extremely easy for external evils to take advantage of them.”

“Indeed.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded in agreement.

“This, I’m afraid, is the work of those people from the East Pole and the Central Region.

Oh, and that gang of demons.

Perhaps they themselves don’t even know that as they turned numerous cultivators and demonic beasts into demons, something in this heaven and earth has already undergone some subtle changes in a quiet and unnoticed manner.

If this situation continued, I’m afraid that the future would no longer be suitable for normal cultivators and demon races to cultivate.

With this move, they were actually digging their own graves as well.

Did they really think that the other party would be so kind as to help them for nothing?
Unbeknownst to them, all of this was already priced out the day they agreed to defect to the other party.”

At this moment, neither Jiang Chengxuan nor Shen Ruyan were in a hurry to kill Shang Heyun.

They wanted to see just how far this state of the other party would eventually develop.

“Roar!”

Slowly.

As time continued, Shang He Yun’s state became more and more incorrect.

The blood color in his pupils was actually transforming towards a pitch-black color.

Along with the aura of his body, it was also being degree a hint of evil devil’s aura without even realizing it.

Even the innate Pure Yang True Treasure that he carried with him had undergone a change in nature.

Vaguely, it was actually transforming towards the direction of some kind of demonic treasure.

Waiting for this time, after a little bit of time had passed again.

Shang He Yun’s entire person was already unrecognizable from his original appearance.

A large number of black scales appeared on his body.

On his head, two curved black devil horns had even appeared.

A cold and deep black devil fire surrounded its body.

The entire person looked like he was obviously completely demonized, and no longer had a trace of belonging to a human being.
