Chapter 478: Chapter 476: Black Abyss Enters the Fray

"Come and fight me if you dare."

"If you can beat me, fine. But if you can’t..."

"I’ll burn every last thread of destiny and return it to the hands of all living beings."

Flames flickered in Black Abyss’s eyes.

She was actually trying to see through the Instant Fate before her.

Instant Fate chuckled.

"We are both just clones right now. What’s the point of seeing through my clone?"

"To think a grand being of the Fire Dao Path could become so powerful after merging with the Fire of Death."

"You’re not actually thinking of seizing my authority over destiny, are you?"

"The thought hadn’t crossed my mind, but since you brought it up, I won’t hold back."

"You dare!"

With that,

they began to fight.

The battle over destiny was exceptionally bizarre.

But he had encountered someone who did not fear destiny, for Black Abyss wielded the Fire of Death.

Her mind was immune to the corrosion of destiny’s power.

She also had no fear of the fluctuations of fate in the past or future.

The Blade of Destiny struck Black Abyss,

but it was useless.

Instead, the Fire of Death traveled along the threads of destiny and latched onto him.

It was terrifying.

The outbreak of such a great war would inevitably lead to the disappearance and suffering of beings throughout the Cosmos.

This was a display of immense power.

When one was powerful, their opponents were on the same level.

When they fought,

the destruction they caused was that much greater.

In the end,

after just one month of fighting,

the Thirteenth Realm being of a certain Destiny Dao Path had already been extinguished.

Burned to nothing by a single blaze from Black Abyss.

Unfortunately,

it wasn’t his true self, not his main body.

A Thirteenth Realm Cultivator is very difficult to kill.

If they want to hide,

or conceal themselves,

it’s impossible to find them without power that surpasses the Thirteenth Realm.

To truly kill them, one must destroy all their karma—their entire existence in the past, present, and future.

Only then is it possible.

The past has already happened; the future is yet to come.

To destroy both is to rip out every one of their existing connections from the Star Sea Tree.

And then annihilate them.

If all of Instant Fate’s present connections were severed, then the future would have nothing to do with him, and the past would simply become the past.

Unless he could move the Star Sea Tree itself to resurrect himself from the past.

But that is very difficult.

How could the being powerful enough to kill him not have anticipated this move?

...

...

A flicker of joy appeared on Black Abyss’s face.

But she quickly suppressed it.

’Solved.’

’How simple.’

’I just don’t know why he’s so weak right now.’

Black Abyss had only stepped forward because of Su Qing,

burning this region’s threads of destiny.

Although, it was also because Su Qing had threatened her.

Then again, it wasn’t really a threat.

Previously, it was Black Abyss who had threatened Su Qing by using his friends.

If not for that, Su Qing would have vanished long ago.

This time, Su Qing was afraid Instant Fate would discover he was still alive.

That was why he had so helplessly turned to Black Abyss for help.

’Heh, he’s finally learned to ask for help. How nice. He always used to act so detached, wanting nothing.’

’He’s so much cuter now.’

With a faint smile, Black Abyss vanished from this part of the Cosmos.

At this very moment, Su Qing

was still unaware that he was already being protected by a powerful woman.

He was still in the middle of his Cultivation.

Although the place Su Qing guarded was now safe,

in other areas of the Taichu Daoist Palace,

tragedies were constantly occurring.

Many students of the Taichu Daoist Palace were enraged.

Taichu had not yet declared a confrontation with the Western Realm.

But most of the beings who had lost their homelands had spontaneously begun to target the Clumsy Head Palace in the Western Realm.

This Clumsy Head Palace

had been established by the expert from the Western Realm who had just broken through to the Thirteenth Realm.

For some unknown reason, he had set his sights on the Taichu Daoist Palace in the Eastern Domain.

In the end,

Taichu issued an order: a fight to the death with the Western Realm’s Clumsy Head Palace.

Of course, the two sides hadn’t actually started fighting yet.

It seemed to be just talk for now.

Su Qing, being in the Northern Territory, was naturally unaware that any of this was happening.

...

...

「When the three years were up.」

Su Qing left immediately.

’That guy actually didn’t find me?’

’Was it Black Abyss?’

’Or did Taichu not reveal my information?’

Su Qing didn’t know.

’Who cares? I’m safe for now, anyway.’

’My friends should be safe too.’

Host: Su Qing

Realm: Dao Flower Realm [Great Dao Cultivation Method: Dao Flower (86,115/120,000)]

’Time to go back.’

Su Qing set off to return to the Taichu Daoist Palace.

However, when he arrived,

he was surprised to find most of the Taichu Daoist Palace students leaving.

They were even leaving in organized teams.

Their eyes seemed to burn with a determined conviction,

as if they were marching off to seek revenge.

Although Su Qing found it strange,

he merely observed from the sidelines.

After all, in the outer regions of the Taichu Daoist Palace that he knew of, not a single world had vanished.

The joys and sorrows of others are not one’s own to feel.

Su Qing had just passed through the Taichu Daoist Palace’s main square.

He was heading to the exchange to gather some information.

"Su Qing, long time no see!"

Zhu Yuan suddenly appeared at Su Qing’s side.

She wore a bright smile and looked very happy to see him.

Su Qing laughed. "Long time no see, Zhu Yuan. Why aren’t you on the Star Sea Tree doing your Cultivation?"

At the mention of this, Zhu Yuan grew annoyed.

"It’s all because of that Thirteenth Realm expert from the Clumsy Head Palace in the Western Realm—the one who just broke through."

"He was fighting some other powerful being, and I almost died on the Star Sea Tree!"

"So I had to hurry back here, didn’t I?"

"Oh?"

"It was that terrifying? A Thirteenth Realm can actually affect the Star Sea Tree?"

Su Qing was puzzled. As he recalled, even Thirteenth Realm Cultivators found it difficult to get near the Star Sea Tree, didn’t they?

"They can’t affect the Star Sea Tree, but affecting me is easy enough,"

Zhu Yuan said huffily.

It was true that when Thirteenth Realm experts fought, they had no effect on the Star Sea Tree.

But for her, an onlooker, the impact was immense.

"So you’re not going to the Star Sea Tree for now."

"Not for the time being."

"I feel like something big is going to happen in this Star Sea Era. It’s probably better to stay inside the Taichu Daoist Palace."

Zhu Yuan nodded, deciding she would avoid the Star Sea Tree for a while.

"What’s been going on with the Taichu Daoist Palace lately? I was away on a mission, and now that I’m back,"

"I see a lot of beings have left."

Su Qing asked, confused.

"Of course it’s because the Western Realm recently destroyed the homelands of many of our students."

"They’re going to get revenge."

"Besides, Lord Taichu has already declared a fight to the death with the Western Realm’s Clumsy Head Palace."

"Oh?"

"So this happened in places other than the one I was guarding?"

"Guarding?"

"Sounds like you were out on a mission." Only then did Zhu Yuan realize what Su Qing had been doing recently.

"Mhm."

Su Qing nodded.

From Zhu Yuan’s explanation,

Su Qing got a general sense of the situation.

’As long as the disaster doesn’t affect me, I can’t be bothered to care.’

As for those Cultivators who wanted to go to the Western Realm to kill members of the Clumsy Head Palace,

Su Qing didn’t know what to think.

’They’re targeting the wrong people.’

’The Thirteenth Realm expert is the one most at fault,’

’yet they’re going after his underlings.’

’The underlings are detestable, sure,’

’but they aren’t the source of the problem.’

’If you don’t uproot the source, the Clumsy Head Palace will continue to exist regardless.’

"Su Qing, want to go out and have some fun together?"

"Where to?" Su Qing asked.

"The Western Realm."

"The Western Realm is a mess right now. If we go over and take advantage of the chaos, we can probably get a lot of good stuff."

Hearing this suggestion, Su Qing shook his head.

’How is that "having fun"?’

’That’s just straight-up looting.’

He wasn’t lacking anything at the moment.

So Su Qing wouldn’t go, and he didn’t want to go.

He’d rather stay peacefully in the Taichu Daoist Palace for a while.

"Why won’t any of you go take advantage of the chaos? Yu Hu said no, and Bai Di did too,"

Zhu Yuan said with resignation.

Su Qing gave a helpless smile. "In that case, I’ll be on my way."

"You can go take advantage of the chaos yourself."

"..." Zhu Yuan fell silent.

Su Qing turned and vanished.

But Zhu Yuan followed him.

Su Qing was headed for the exchange.

Zhu Yuan tagged along.

Su Qing could only shoot a helpless glance at Zhu Yuan.

"Weren’t you going to take advantage of the chaos? Why are you following me to the exchange?"

"If no one else is going, why should I?"

"Is my Candle Dragon Race lacking for anything?"

"..."

That left Su Qing speechless.
