I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world-Chapter 448 - 42 is indeed prepared for you, Liang Hui.
Chapter 448: Chapter 42 is indeed prepared for you, Liang Hui.
Liang Hui slowly stood up, a surge of aura ascending as if the heavens were tilting and the earth was overturning.
The youth looked at the silent crowd, his eyes filled with mockery.
"You fear the Demon Tribe and do not dare to seek revenge. Could it be that..."
The extended palm abruptly pressed down.
"You do not fear me!"
Piercing screams echoed through the city as blood blossomed like fireworks continuously.
All those who had spoken disrespectfully moments ago had their legs burst open, collapsing to the ground.
"Your Excellency, was this trip perhaps too..."
A long cry came from the center of the city. A silhouette swirling with Immortal Qi approached with an extremely sacred aura.
Yet before he could take a few steps—
A fair hand, covering the Vault of Heaven, gripped down directly.
Crack!
An even brighter firework ascended in the sky.
Liang Hui casually flicked the blood off his fingertips, his gaze calm and indifferent.
"Since you remained silent just now, spare me the idle chatter now."
The people of the Human Race, paralyzed on the ground, seemed to lose even the sensation of pain, staring dazedly at the dripping blood in the sky.
An Immortal, ruler of the city spanning millions of miles of mountains and rivers, died just like that.
A sense of despair uncontrollably surfaced in every fallen Human Race member’s heart.
Liang Hui picked up the teapot, pouring himself another cup of tea, then lifted it to his lips.
He walked step by step down from the teahouse.
Everywhere he went, the Human Race turned to dust; even the scattered blood on the ground dried up and dissipated.
Finally, he stopped in front of Hong Ti, raised his palm, and took a sip.
"Why?"
Hong Ti’s lips trembled as he scanned the empty streets, opening his mouth but unable to speak.
It was merely a casual remark, yet the old man reacted so violently.
"Never mind, it’s not important."
A drop of tea water fell, instantly piercing his forehead, making Hong Ti lose his life.
Liang Hui drank the tea to its last drop, perceiving the city now missing nearly half its inhabitants, his face showing frustration.
What was a rather pleasant mood had been thoroughly ruined.
Snap!
He casually tossed the tea cup away.
He turned around!
And walked towards the outskirts of the city.
Countless members of the Human Race hiding in their houses watched in panic and fear as the back of the youth disappeared.
Only when they could no longer see his figure did everyone feel a sense of narrowly escaping death, given how explosive the man had been.
The roar of the old man and the death of those who discussed lasted only a few minutes.
The entire city, regardless of strength, saw the direct death of nearly half its population, an act not even the Demonic Path would carry out so ruthlessly and decisively.
...
After leaving the city.
Liang Hui walked leisurely on the relatively even road, taking in the scenery beside the path.
At a leisurely pace, he walked for several tens of thousands of miles.
An old man stood in his path.
This old man wore coarse clothes, his hair gray, his face bearing an indescribable sadness.
"Child, they were merely blinded by hatred; such slaughter is unnecessary."
Liang Hui’s gaze sharpened briefly, his hand touching the gun barrel.
Feeling the old man’s aura of vast lived years without sensing any hostility, he spoke up:
"Wouldn’t it be better to find a place and live out your twilight years comfortably?"
"Dragging around your battered body everywhere, you’d better be careful lest you be assassinated sometime."
Ordinarily, as a powerful being from before the origin of the Great Path, there wouldn’t be any life expectancy limitations, but the injuries of the old man in front of him were too severe.
So severe that even the Wood Great Path, known for its vitality, could not save his life.
Hearing the youth’s response unrelated to his question, the old man named Cang Li sighed with a hint of helplessness:
"The Human Race has been at peace for three Chaotic Years now."
"The Demon Tribe’s attacks were too brutal. It was their first time seeing such a war—fear and panic are understandable."
"What does that have to do with me!"
Stepping forward, the old man—or rather the Human Emperor Cang Li—slowly approached.
"If it had nothing to do with you, why would you stand alone against the Moonlight Demon Clan, saving millions of your people?"
The elder spoke, setting aside his sorrowful expression and adopting a serious one.
It was precisely because of this action that the elder did not strike directly, instead beginning to engage in discussion.
"Although I do not know your past, you are definitely of the Human Race, whether you are from elsewhere or cultivated in the Great Wilderness Realm."
"What if we make a deal?"
"A deal?"
Liang Hui’s footsteps halted, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Let’s hear it."
"My life is not long for this world, and the next Human Emperor still needs time to grow. I hope you can guard the Human Race for one Chaotic Year."
Liang Hui did not speak but waited for the elder to continue.
"As a price, you may participate in the Fire Cloud Secret Realm three hundred years from now."
Seeing the confusion in the youth’s eyes, Cang Li explained:
"It is an extremely ancient secret realm involving the emperors of the Human Race from before the Era and also relates to the Great Luo."
"Not enough!"
Liang Hui spoke up. A Chaotic Year might not be too long for a normal Immortal.
But for him, it was overly long.
"If on top of that, I add my Wood Taoism Enlightenment, a fruit polished to perfection, standing at the Great Path Origin that could contend with Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Extreme?"
Upon hearing this, layers of ripples stirred deep within Liang Hui’s eyes. A flawless Wood Taoism Enlightenment, he was somewhat tempted.
If it were Space Taoism Enlightenment, Myriad Spirits Taoism Enlightenment, or Pure Yang Taoism Enlightenment, he would definitely agree.
Just protecting a tribe was a simple matter, the Dragon Race could do it, so of course the Human Race was not a problem.
However, the Wood Taoism Enlightenment was not of much use to him.
After a moment, Liang Hui shook his head.
The murky eyes of Cang Li flashed with contemplation, then he scrutinized Liang Hui carefully, seeming to understand something.
’Cultivating three Great Paths and not involving the Wood Great Path, indeed similar to what was inferred.’
The elder made his judgment internally.
For a time, the atmosphere fell into silence as they faced each other.
About a stick of incense later.
Cang Li reached out his hand, setting down one pattern after another around him, while throwing out an artifact shaped like a turtle shell, causing even destiny to become chaotic.
After all the arrangements were made, he finally spoke slowly:
"What if the Human Race could set you on a fourth Great Path?"
Boom!
A silent thunder exploded in Liang Hui’s heart. freeweɓnovel.cøm
His hand swiftly reached out, laying out an immense Formation on top of the Great Formation, concealing all Qi.
This news was too explosive; living beings at most developed three Taoism Enlightenments, a fact acknowledged by all Immortals.
Even with his talent, his initial attempt to embark on a fourth Great Path had failed, nearly leaving an indelible mark of Dao injury.
Over the following years, as he entered the dreams of endless beings, he became certain of this iron law.
Now someone was actually telling him it could be broken.
Merely letting this information leak could cause the entire Human Race to be flayed and subjected to countless Soul Searches.
"Why tell me such news? You should have taken it with you to the grave, or kept it as the deepest secret of the Human Race."
Liang Hui did not question its authenticity but was all tensed up, ready to unleash his full power at any moment.
To tell such critical information to a stranger like him was exceedingly abnormal.
Cang Li stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the Vast Heavens covered in various patterns.
"Fire Cloud Cave, historically, only the Human Race could enter."
"Throughout the long ages, we have brought out many incalculable things from before the Era."
"So it is with the method for walking the fourth Path, as well as a method involving the Great Luo Level that concerns an Immortal’s body."
"I used that Inference Method to predict the way forward for the Human Race after my death."
"Every single one of millions of inferences concluded that I must come here and offer the method for walking the fourth Great Path."
Pausing briefly, Cang Li’s lips curled with an inexplicable smile.
"You must want to know the prerequisite conditions for embarking on the fourth Great Path."
Not waiting for Liang Hui to respond, the elder spoke again:
"The Pure Yang Great Path stands at the Origin, while concurrently walking the Myriad Spirits and Space Paths!"
"What a coincidence, Pure Yang Emperor, Supreme Dragon Emperor."
Boom!!
Liang Hui’s eyes grew deeper as countless emotions swept through his heart.
Everything that had happened was almost as if a being from before the Era was pointing at his nose, saying:
’These things were prepared just for you.’
