Chapter 355 - 353: The Gaze of Fate

Chapter 355: Chapter 353: The Gaze of Fate

The Demon Realm.

Before Su Qing could even get a good look at his surroundings, an immense pressure from the heavens and earth bore down on him.

"Little one, how dare you come to my Demon Realm," said Yanmo Taoist.

"I’m here to kill you, of course."

The moment Su Qing spoke, the surrounding Demon Realm began to shake.

Su Qing was startled. ’This isn’t my doing,’ he thought.

’Was it Yanmo?’

Yanmo was also suspicious, thinking it was a move by Su Qing.

The two of them were now incredibly wary of each other.

CRACK~~~

A sound like shattering glass echoed.

Color flooded their entire field of vision.

"What!" Yanmo Taoist’s heart hammered with uncertainty. ’The heavens are collapsing!’

He had to run. In the blink of an eye, Yanmo Taoist vanished.

"How is this possible!" Su Qing, on the other hand, began to question his entire existence.

’I have to go back.’

’I have to get back now!’

"Immortal-Suppressing Spell!" Su Qing cast the curse at Yanmo.

Su Qing had tried using the curse before, but it never seemed to work, likely because they weren’t in the same world.

Yanmo Taoist, who was in the middle of escaping, found his aura thrown into chaos. His fortune turned pitch-black, and his very soul was wounded.

The Demon Realm’s celestial pressure had no effect on Su Qing at all.

He entered the Demon Realm Rift.

Su Qing had to get back to the Spirit Realm immediately.

But within the rift, the Space was mottled and unstable, and Su Qing grew incredibly anxious.

He pushed his Void Nether Dao Body to its absolute limit to stabilize the Space.

「Meanwhile, in the Spirit Realm.」

A terrifying, colorful existence had already shattered most of the Spirit Realm’s barrier.

It allowed all the living beings of the Spirit Realm to witness a splendid, rainbow-colored spectacle.

It was a panorama of color that stretched beyond the horizon.

This color covered every corner of the Spirit Realm.

Within the Star Sea.

After the Greed Realm shattered the Spirit Realm’s barrier, the Spirit Realm successfully reappeared in the world of the Star Sea.

It was as if it had suddenly transformed into a massive Continent.

But compared to the terrifying Greed Realm, the Spirit Realm was the size of a mere ant.

The Greed Realm, however, was larger than an elephant.

And now, this Greed Realm, larger than an elephant, had fixed its gaze upon this very place.

A colossal, colorful maw.

It took aim at the Spirit Realm.

A terrifying Devouring Power emerged.

Just like Su Qing’s Great Dao Wheel, it began to devour the entire Spirit Realm.

...

...

"Damn it, what’s happening!" Even trapped within the spatial rift, Su Qing could feel a potent Devouring Power.

"Xiaoqing, what’s happening to the Spirit Realm?"

"Master, the many threads of karma in the Spirit Realm are rapidly vanishing," Xiaoqing replied.

Qingsu Island’s Grand Arrays were all operating at maximum power, resisting the terrifying Devouring Power.

But within a mere three seconds, the Grand Arrays were already showing signs of decay.

...

"Disciple, go," Shangyang said. He had long known this would happen and was fully prepared.

Taking Daoist Qing Yang and the Pocket Worlds he carried, he had already caught sight of the surrounding Star Sea the moment the Spirit Realm shattered.

"Master, this Devouring Power is too strong."

"I’m afraid we’ll be killed so easily."

"Don’t worry. I have a way."

Shangyang pulled Daoist Qing Yang along.

He tore open Space and charged madly toward the Star Sea.

Here, all the major powers of the Abyss Sea were scrambling for that sliver of a chance at survival.

The terrifying Devouring Power.

It affected nearly every fluctuation in Space.

Even Time itself was thrown into unending chaos.

Qing Yang’s face was a mask of despair, as both he and his master were having a great deal of their Magical Power drained by the Devouring Power.

Their life force as well.

But the short distance ahead seemed like the gates of the Celestial Palace itself—utterly impassable.

"Disciple, remember: the legacy of the Three Yang Temple must not be lost." A trace of reluctance flickered in Shangyang’s eyes.

Magical Power materialized in his hand, forming a terrifying Divine Technique. He compressed the technique into his palm while using his Magical Power to support Qing Yang.

Qing Yang had no time to stop him. His eyes widened in disbelief, completely unable to understand why Shangyang would do this!

"No!"

"Don’t, old man!"

BOOM—

The terrifying Divine Technique transformed into an immense shockwave, but a cocoon of Magical Power enveloped Qing Yang’s body, launching him like a cannonball into the Star Sea.

Sometimes, no Law is as reliable as brute force.

Shangyang smiled, gratified.

This was why he’d had Qing Yang use his Magical Power to carry those few Pocket Worlds.

The Devouring force, however, pulled at him with ever-increasing strength, dragging him toward the colorful sky.

Many of the other Eighth Realm Cultivators and members of the Demon Race were suffering the same fate.

"Heh, you three Old Dragon Kings, why haven’t you left yet?" Shangyang said, spotting the three familiar Dragons.

"Leave? Our power is spent," the Profound Dragon chuckled, but his eyes were filled with hope.

"That’s right. The younger generation has already escaped. It doesn’t matter if my power is spent," the Cyan Dragon King added with a laugh.

Together, they resisted the colorful sky.

「Back on Qingsu Island.」

The Immortal Puppet made its move.

It flew into the sky, endlessly striking the colorful heavens with Dao Principles and raw power.

But it was all to no avail.

Although the maw was injured, it recovered in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, on Qingsu Island, the Enlightenment Tree King Immortal Realm manifested.

Endless roots spread out, enveloping everything.

It had stepped forward.

The Immortal Enlightenment Tree King also possessed power exceeding that of a normal Ninth Realm being.

This was a gift from Su Qing’s Standardization.

Its Immortal Realm enveloped everyone.

Including the beings within those three Great Worlds.

However, the manifestation of an Immortal Realm... what an incredible amount of Energy was that?

The Greed Realm grew even more avaricious.

The Devouring Power instantly surged by dozens of times.

An endless swarm of colorful, cloud-like insects appeared throughout the Spirit Realm.

Like a plague of locusts.

The Immortal Enlightenment Tree King struggled to hold on.

’Why hasn’t my master appeared yet?’

’Where in the world did my master go? Our home is being destroyed!’

’In my current state, I can’t even last a minute.’

...

...

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

Su Qing’s heart raced with ever-growing anxiety.

He had been trapped in the narrow gap of the rift for a full five minutes.

A ruthless glint appeared in Su Qing’s eyes.

He had already drawn his Profound Qi Sword.

"Great Dao Swordsmanship!"

A single sword strike rose, overturning heaven and earth, toppling the very Cosmos.

Su Qing aimed his sword primarily at the Space here.

Under the force of this one sword strike, the surrounding Space seemed to grow fragile.

"It’s working!"

Elated, Su Qing brandished his sword and once again unleashed his Great Dao Swordsmanship.

...

On Qingsu Island, only a single Immortal Realm and one giant tree were left, struggling to hold on.

’I can’t hold on for much longer.’ The Immortal Enlightenment Tree King’s roots had been almost entirely devoured; the surrounding Devouring Power was terrifyingly immense.

Now, only Qingsu Island remained of the entire Spirit Realm.

’Should they hide within the Spirit Realm’s will of the Rules?’

’But my master’s Dao Companions are still here.’

’I really can’t hold on for much longer!’

The Immortal Enlightenment Tree King struggled desperately; its Immortal Power was nearly exhausted.

"Quick, all of you, leave this place! I’ll hold them off for one final minute."

The Immortal Enlightenment Tree King produced a seed and gave it to the red-haired woman. Of all of them, she carried the strongest scent of its master’s aura.

’She must be the human he cherishes most.’

’As long as she escapes, then It, the Tree King, can live again.’

’This time...’

’I’ll expend the very last of my Energy to protect these humans, just this once.’

...

A single seed appeared in Su Hongshang’s palm.

Su Hongshang also knew this was a crisis of epic proportions.

’But... where was Su Qing?’

"Quick, take the seed and leave. Flee to the outside world," the Tree King transmitted its voice to Su Hongshang alone.

"I will hold on for one last minute!"

The Tree King’s voice shook every Cultivator to their core.

This was an incredible boon.

They only had one minute.

Song Zhining, Su Hongshang, Tang Dan, and the others all scrambled to escape, racing against time.

—

—

"I broke through."

Before he could even feel a moment of joy, Su Qing saw that he was surrounded by an empty, starry sky.

A silent, starry sky.

In the distance was a colorful insect so terrifyingly massive that he couldn’t see its full form.

[Greed Realm: (Devouring Dao Path) (Reproduction Dao Path) (Greed Dao Path)... A Small Thousand World whose will is dominated by a Matriarch Bug]

"How could I have appeared so far away?"

Su Qing had no time to think.

He sliced open Space and charged toward the Greed Realm.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if something precious was about to be torn away from him.
