Chapter 568 - 566: Ten-Faced Beast

Chapter 568: Chapter 566: Ten-Faced Beast

However, Su Qing was not afraid of the Chaos Residual Spirits.

He decisively appeared in the starry sky.

The three Chaos Residual Spirits charged like madmen, transforming into a dense fog as they attacked.

"Infinite Fire Realm."

Hundred Layers of Swallowing Fire Realm.

It contained over a thousand different types of Standardization, along with countless strange Tier Thirteen Flames.

In an instant, Su Qing felt as if his very surroundings were about to be incinerated.

Su Qing suppressed the surrounding disturbances.

He used only the Infinite Fire Realm to scorch the Chaos Residual Spirits.

This time, the Chaos Residual Spirits didn’t even last a second before being burned to nothing by the Infinite Fire Realm.

Having dealt with the Chaos Residual Spirits, Su Qing looked toward a certain spot.

He sent a telepathic message in that direction. "Come out now, or don’t blame me for being rude."

This was a Thirteenth Realm existence.

They were both aware of each other.

"Don’t be angry. We are not enemies. Even if we were, a fight between us would attract unnecessary trouble." A man with an amiable smile appeared. He wore a set of light clothes that looked to be of extremely high quality. His face was plain, but he exuded a steady, composed aura.

In an instant, he was before Su Qing.

Su Qing watched him coolly, unmoved.

’With the Infinite Fire Realm and the Causal Touch, I have never lost a fight.’

"Your Excellency, I was just coming to deal with the Void Beast. I didn’t expect it to appear only to be eliminated by you first. It’s a good thing, really."

"Void Beast?" Su Qing was surprised. ’Is that what the people of this world call this type of creature?’

"That’s right, the Void Beast. They appear from time to time, and they bear a deep grudge against the Cultivators who kill them. I’ve killed them three times before."

"Every time they’ve appeared since, they treat me like a mortal enemy and attack me without a word."

"They are filled with hatred for this world. It seems their only goal is to destroy it."

The man explained, assuming Su Qing was unfamiliar with these Void Beasts.

"I am Tu Wanshan."

"May I ask for the Daoist friend’s name?"

"Su Qing," Su Qing replied with his name.

’Revealing one’s true name makes one vulnerable to curses, but the strength of the curse matters. If I were cursed, I would discover it instantly and could retaliate with my Causal Touch.’

Neither of them knew if the other was using their real name, and that was fine.

"A fine name for a Daoist friend with fine methods. Since the Void Beast is dealt with, you should still be careful."

"The Void Beasts disrupt the balance of the world. If you can, I hope you will lend a hand, Daoist friend."

"Yes. If I run into them, I’ll deal with them," Su Qing nodded.

"Farewell."

"Farewell." Su Qing cupped his hands and watched the other man.

’This guy is definitely not from the Star Sea.’

’But he’s also at the Thirteenth Realm. Perhaps he could even break through to the Fourteenth Realm?’

’At a time like this, how should I go about opening my Space-Time Veins?’

’And how could I intercept the Space-Time Veins here?’

’This is a very important matter.’

’History has never lacked for powerful experts, nor has it ever lacked for geniuses.’

’There should also be no shortage of existences who have broken through to the Grand Thousand.’

Su Qing returned to his planet. He recalled the moment the Chaos Residual Spirits were incinerated by his Infinite Fire Realm.

’The Chaos Residual Spirits couldn’t withstand the Infinite Fire Realm at all.’

’The Chaos Residual Spirits can’t resist so many Standardizations, nor can they withstand the intensity of the stacked flames.’

’It’s a shame I didn’t try using the Causal Touch. I wonder if a Chaos Residual Spirit eliminated by the Causal Touch would reappear?’

’I’ll have to try it next time.’ A ball of the Infinite Fire Realm appeared in Su Qing’s hand.

The Infinite Fire Realm was simply too powerful.

It was a notch above Su Qing’s other abilities.

Back then, even the Great Dao Wheel took a while to grind them down, but now he could annihilate Chaos Residual Spirits in an instant.

’If the Infinite Fire Realm could be used in the creation of my own Grand Thousand...’

’Would infinitely stacked Grand Thousand Veins be incredibly powerful?’

As Su Qing thought of this,

he suddenly laughed. "I haven’t even started opening the Grand Thousand Veins, and I’m already thinking about this stuff."

"It’s a bit premature."

"I should focus on how to repay all my causal debts."

Su Qing began to recall his journey of growth.

’Anyone who died because of me... because I didn’t die, they did. I incurred a great deal of causal debt just by surviving, even if they did the most outrageous things to me when they were alive.’

’Nothing creates more causal debt than a single death.’

’Troublesome.’

Su Qing sighed.

He knew this was a troublesome matter. It meant that while opening his own Space-Time Veins, he must not kill anyone and must also repay all the causal debts he had previously incurred.

Su Qing was plotting something.

This was something Su Qing had to do.

A type of Magic slowly materialized in his hand. As Su Qing refined it, this Magic grew stronger and stronger.

While Su Qing was researching,

BOOM—

The planet’s Array suddenly made a sound.

Su Qing’s focus was broken. He looked toward the part of the Array that had taken damage.

It was a shockwave.

Cultivators were fighting in the distance. All the planets around Su Qing’s had been destroyed, turning into clusters of brilliant fireworks.

"Two Twelfth Realm guys are fighting here?" Su Qing frowned.

He didn’t make a move.

At a time like this, Su Qing wouldn’t incur any causal debt if he could avoid it.

However, the commotion was so great that besides Su Qing,

the Duanmu Family on the other side of the planet also noticed. A sense of crisis welled up in their hearts as they watched the surrounding Stars get destroyed one by one.

That woman, Duanmu Shangjiu, came again.

Before Duanmu Shangjiu could speak, Su Qing said flatly, "This is how the world is. If you or your family feel it’s dangerous, you can leave immediately. The Array allows you to exit, but not to enter."

"If you want to leave, then leave. I’m not your Steward, nor am I your clan leader."

"Don’t ask me."

"It’s annoying." Su Qing’s expression was impassive, leaving Duanmu Shangjiu stunned where she stood.

She bowed and said, "This junior takes her leave. I will not disturb you again in the future, Senior."

’That’s more like it.’

Su Qing hadn’t wanted to incur any causal debt in the first place, and he certainly wasn’t going to make any decisions for them.

This way, the causal debt would be infinitesimally small. At the same time, they would be the ones indebted to Su Qing, not the other way around.

Su Qing looked up at the battle in the distance. He synthesized a poison and consumed it, while simultaneously diverting some of his focus to synthesizing Rule-based Flames.

Aside from the area around Suqing Planet, all the other planets had been destroyed.

’They’ve been fighting for this long?’

’It’s been a month, and they’re still at it.’

Over the past month, Su Qing had acquired quite a few Rule-based Fire Seeds, expanding his Infinite Fire Realm.

The difficulty of stacking the layers of the Infinite Fire Realm was also increasing. He was currently at 512 layers.

But each additional layer was becoming very difficult to achieve.

This was the Divine Technique born from the Ten Thousand Layers of Water.

It was powerful and could be upgraded, but it was extremely difficult.

The fight in the starry sky beyond began to slowly die down.

However, they had now arrived just outside Suqing Planet.

Outside Suqing Planet.

Two figures faced each other from a distance.

One was a giant beast with ten faces and four limbs.

The other was a being wreathed in dim flames.

Both were non-human Twelfth Realm existences.

They both looked at Su Qing’s planet.

A planet that could survive a battle between two Twelfth Realm beings meant it was either protected or housed an existence of the same Realm, but with superior strength.

One of the beings set its sights on Suqing Planet.

It was the Ten-Faced Beast. It brazenly opened its mouth, its massive body expanding as it tried to swallow the entire planet in one gulp.

Meanwhile, the flame-wreathed being erupted with terrifying flames that shot toward the Ten-Faced Beast.

At the same time, it interrupted the Ten-Faced Beast’s attempt at Devouring the planet.

"Your Excellency, I apologize for involving you. I will deal with this Ten-Faced Beast," the flame-wreathed being’s voice transmitted.

It was clear enough for every living being on the planet to hear.

Su Qing was surprised. He didn’t know why, but despite encountering so many different beings, they could all communicate perfectly, as if they spoke the same language.
