Chapter 121 Qin Shou Dies Like a Pile of Mud
"Gu... Qing..."
Qin Shou's cultivation soared to the peak of the King Realm, his face ferocious, gums bleeding, as he struggled to resist the invisible domain's crushing pressure.
A domain is the aura naturally emitted when one's inner and outer worlds interact.
The higher one's cultivation of the Great Dao, the stronger the domain.
Gu Qing had fused countless techniques, comprehending the Chaos Great Dao, the Xuanhuang Great Dao, the Star Great Dao, the Yin-Yang Great Dao...
Any one of these alone would be enough to crush Qin Shou.
Therefore, no matter how Qin Shou struggled, it was just futile rage, firmly suppressed by the domain.
Additionally, Gu Qing had received the blessing of the Super Counter-Armor mechanism, and his realm had also soared to the third level of the Venerable Realm.
At this moment, Gu Qing was like a deity, dominating a domain, arms crossed, coldly watching Qin Shou's death throes.
The system's prompt for plundering luck continuously sounded in his mind.
"Hiss~"
How miserable!
Everyone watched with trembling hearts, feeling a chill all over.
They had originally thought Gu Qing was a monster, but now it seemed, this was beyond monstrous, simply terrifying.
With a casual finger, he could kill an old-timer at the peak of the King Realm.
Using only his domain, he could suppress Qin Shou to the point of immobility.
Such power, even ordinary Venerable Realm experts might not achieve this.
Gu Qing, at such a young age, possessed such profound strength.
Everyone couldn't imagine how Gu Qing cultivated, or how terrifying his true strength was.
Watching Qin Shou's death throes, for some reason, the Qin family members felt a hint of satisfaction.
It wasn't that they were cold-blooded, but Qin Shou was too arrogant, relying on the ancestor's support, not taking them seriously at all.
Moreover, this great disaster was entirely provoked by Qin Shou alone.
He had caused the deaths of countless direct and collateral bloodline members of their family.
Qin Shou was the sinner of the Qin family.
They didn't kill him because of the ancestor.
Furthermore, even if they wanted to save him, they couldn't.
Qin Heng was a good lesson.
Ji Ning's third-level Saint Realm cultivation was not for show.
Thinking of this, the Qin family members secretly communicated and decided to send a message to their traveling Saint Ancestor, Divine Fire Ancestor.
If they didn't return soon, and Gu Qing annihilated the Qin family in a fit of anger, they would truly die unjustly.
"Pu chi!"
"Kacha!"
Blood gushed from Qin Shou's body, bones crushed and shattered, his eyes filled with madness, like a trapped beast.
"Break for me..." Qin Shou roared ferociously, breaking through to the Venerable Realm, unleashing his full power to break through the domain.
Crack, the invisible space made a sound like shattering glass, but soon, he was suppressed again by Gu Qing's domain.
Forced to kneel, bones broken, his body like a pile of mud, at Gu Qing's mercy.
He couldn't even summon a treasure to resist.
"How can this be???"
Qin Shou looked at Gu Qing with terrified eyes, as if seeing a monster.
He had thought that with his Void Dao Realm, he could defeat Gu Qing, a super leapfrog challenge, turning defeat into victory against all odds, with sparks and lightning.
Stepping on Gu Qing to achieve godhood in one battle.
To avenge Xue'er sister.
To avenge his father.
To avenge the countless members of the Qin family.
But the cruel reality made him despair.
Under Gu Qing's domain, he was like an ant under the vast heavens, while Gu Qing was the deity ruling heaven and earth.
There was an insurmountable gap between them.
Even after breaking through to the Venerable Realm, he was still as weak as an ant.
Forget about turning defeat into victory, he couldn't even break through Gu Qing's domain.
In other words, Gu Qing could kill him with a single thought.
The more Qin Shou thought, the more desperate he became, his heart collapsing.
He couldn't accept that Gu Qing was countless times more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Master, save me!!!"
"I told you before, you are no match for this child," the Dragon Emperor said, frustrated with Qin Shou's lack of progress.
Qin Shou had become arrogant, using his power to counter-kill countless prodigy enemies, forgetting his own worthless nature.
He even dared to block communication with him.
But this was for the best.
Let Gu Qing grind down Qin Shou's arrogance, perhaps this would be a good thing for Qin Shou.
But...
The Dragon Emperor was extremely annoyed.
He, an Immortal King, though having lost his Immortal King Dao Fruit, with only a remnant soul left, could only exert the power of the Divine Fire Realm.
Time and again, he had to clean up Qin Shou's mess, taking action against the younger generation.
Fortunately, no one knew, or where would his Dragon Emperor's face be?
"Master, I know I was wrong, please save me quickly."
Qin Shou, feeling the terror of death, was already scared out of his wits, no longer daring to act tough.
Even deep in his heart, he desperately wanted to escape, far away from Gu Qing.
"Hmph! Release your mind, let me take control of your body," the Dragon Emperor coldly snorted.
The power above the Saint Realm was not something Qin Shou could unleash.
Gu Qing watched coldly, his divine eyes swirling, clearly seeing the conversation between master and disciple.
Just as the Gilded Dragon Ring lifted its restrictions, before the Dragon Emperor's remnant soul could emerge, a black dragon rushed into the Dragon Ring.
After waiting for so long, there was finally an opportunity.
The Gilded Dragon Ring was an immortal artifact, containing a small world within.
Without the Dragon Emperor lifting the array restrictions, the Calamity Black Dragon couldn't enter at all.
"What is this thing..."
The moment the Dragon Emperor saw the Calamity Black Dragon, he couldn't help but change color in horror.
The Calamity Black Dragon emitted an aura of extreme evil and malevolence. Just looking at it, the Dragon Emperor felt his soul being polluted, descending into demonhood.
The Calamity Black Dragon was like the source of evil, dragging his soul into the unending hell.
"No..."
The Dragon Emperor let out a desperate roar.
For he knew clearly that he had been eroded and cursed by the Calamity Black Dragon.
At this moment, even with his heaven-defying abilities, he was powerless to turn the tide.
The Calamity Black Dragon was omnipresent.
It was a part of his divine soul, his inner demon.
He was the Calamity Black Dragon, but the Calamity Black Dragon was not him.
"Master!?"
Qin Shou felt his own power draining away. His divine consciousness probed into the Dragon Ring, and the moment he saw the Calamity Black Dragon, his pupils suddenly contracted, as if witnessing an unspeakable terror.
He retracted his divine consciousness, his scalp tingling with dread.
Without time to think further, he immediately sought help from his clansmen.
"Save me."
He knew that his master, the Dragon Emperor, was finished.
Now, the only ones who could save him were the members of the Qin family.
"..."
The members of the Qin family looked at each other, their expressions shifting, yet not a single person made a move.
How ridiculous.
They were only at the King Realm or Venerable Realm. How could they possibly save him?
Asking them to intervene was tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
"He deserves it..." an elder muttered under his breath.
The others nodded in deep agreement, their gazes filled with scorn as they looked at Qin Shou.
Wasn't it said that he could suppress his enemies with a mere flip of his hand?
So why was he now begging them for help?
Why didn't he just maintain his usual air of detached composure?
"You all..." Qin Shou looked at his clansmen, who were watching coldly from the sidelines, and felt a surge of hatred in his heart.
A formidable enemy was at their doorstep, and they were still embroiled in internal strife.
But before he could dwell on it further, his body was quickly crushed into a pile of mangled flesh. His divine soul drifted out, twisting and distorting.
"No..." Qin Shou was filled with utter terror. He was dead. He had actually died.
Gu Qing took his Gilded Dragon Ring and all of his magical treasures.
He used the Reincarnation Dao Pupil to glance through his memories, and then completely erased Qin Shou.
"The Innate Dragon Pearl, the Myriad Ages Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique, and the Myriad Swords Return to One Scripture."
Gu Qing began to digest Qin Shou's memories.
The most precious among them was undoubtedly the Innate Dragon Pearl.
This was the dragon pearl of an innate true dragon, a being whose cultivation had reached the Immortal King Realm, and its uses were boundless.
The Myriad Ages Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique was a Dao scripture that could be cultivated to the Immortal King Realm, focusing on the physical body.
The Myriad Swords Return to One Scripture had no rank; it could fuse all the swords in the world into one, making it a supreme sword canon.
It was even more profound and mysterious than the Mysterious Heaven Sword Technique.
"What a windfall," Gu Qing marveled.
Immortal King techniques, the supreme treasures coveted by everyone in the Immortal World, had been so easily obtained by him.
Killing the protagonist was indeed the right path.
Every protagonist possessed heaven-defying fortunes.
With this thought, Gu Qing began to search through the Dragon Emperor's memories, recording all the techniques, divine abilities, secret arts, information on rare treasures, and strange events from across the world.
This old fellow, worthy of being the protagonist's grandfather, knew far too much.
It allowed Gu Qing to leap to the level of someone with the insight of an Immortal King.
This was an immense treasure.
For Gu Qing, it was even more valuable than obtaining a few Immortal King techniques.
Furthermore, after devouring the Dragon Emperor, the Calamity Black Dragon was now capable of contending with a being at the Divine Fire Realm.
Gu Qing glanced at the members of the Qin family.
One might as well go all the way. He would kill them all.
With a single thought, the Calamity Black Dragon transformed into countless forms, silently and stealthily infiltrating the Purple Mansion and divine souls of the Qin family's elders.
In an instant, over a hundred people were killed, leaving not even a trace of them behind.
"That..."
The moment he saw the Calamity Black Dragon, Chu Chong's scalp tingled, and his heart was filled with panic and unease.
Although the Calamity Black Dragon appeared for only a moment, in that very instant, it had devoured all the elders of the Qin family.
That aura of extreme evil and malevolence was identical to the curse of the Shi family.
What was there left for Chu Chong not to understand?
The curse wave that had terrified the Central Divine Domain was actually Gu Qing's doing.
Gu Qing wouldn't kill him to silence him, would he?
"You may leave."
Gu Qing glanced at him and waved his hand.
He trusted that Chu Chong would not dare to speak recklessly. Even if he did, even if Chu Chong proclaimed it to the world, it would have no effect on him.
On the contrary, it would only add to his glorious reputation.
Such was the advantage of having the backing of the Star God Palace.
Even if others knew he possessed supreme secret techniques, divine abilities, and heaven-shaking treasures, they would not dare to act against him.
"Good, good, good!"
Chu Chong had never felt so relieved to be chased away by his son-in-law.
He fled with all his might.
"Boom!"
Just as Gu Qing took out the Qin family's identity jade tablet, intending to enter the grand formation.
A terrifying presence descended, and chaotic qi pervaded the air.
A peerless figure, like a deity emerging from the primordial chaos, appeared.
"Master..."
Gu Qing exclaimed in surprise.
He had never expected that Zhi Meng would suddenly descend.
