"Ah!"
Zhou Wudao screamed. The pain was like a tidal wave swallowing his nerves. His whole body was trembling and spasming. The indescribable pain was as if even his soul was being torn apart.
A bloody palm emerged from his chest. It was more sinister and terrifying than the sharpest weapon in the world.
Even though a layer of bright silver light erupted from Zhou Wudao's body at the moment of the attack and turned into armor to protect his body, it was still difficult to resist the killing hand.
When Qin Hao and the others turned around, they only saw that Zhou Wudao's body was covered by a mighty silver armor. The silver armor was exactly the same as the twelve Divine Soldier created by Xuan Tianzhen Lord. The only difference was that it was silver.
It was the Libra Battle Suit of the Twelve Zodiac Palaces.
Before the Seven Peaks discussion began, Qin Hao gave him the spatial ring and the twelve battle suits and asked Zhou Wudao to secretly distribute them to everyone. He himself stayed in the Libra Constellation and refined it into his body.
Even so, Shenghua's palm still pierced through his chest and shattered the battle suit.
It was obvious how powerful that palm strike was.
At this very moment, everyone was in a daze as they stared with their mouths agape. It was as if time had stopped.
Who would have thought that the chief disciple of Daozang Peak would suddenly attack someone?
"Shenghua."
Eastern Sky shouted angrily. His Nirvana aura erupted. With a wave of his hand, a sharp Emperor's light shot out.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! Buzz! Waves of Emperor's Aura erupted one after another. Chang Yu, Tian Que, Yi Zui, Zhan Xiong, and the chief disciple of the Seven Peaks attacked at the same time.
Shenghua smiled and pulled his palm out of Zhou Wudao's chest. He retreated in time and dodged several attacks.
Tan Geng and Bai Xiaotong were pale. They didn't even have time to react during the whole process. They had just helped Zhou Wudao up and were about to leave with the others when this tragic scene happened.
"Uncle-Master Tai Wei."
Qin Hao shouted. He turned around and ran back to Zhou Wudao. The Serene Tranquil Water Spirit surged. Waves of vitality soul power crazily poured into Zhou Wudao's body to prevent his injuries from spreading.
In fact, as soon as he spoke, Lord Tai Wei's body flashed and he teleported over from the Void. His face was extremely solemn and his Nirvana Emperor Soul flashed. The phantom of a towering ancient tree appeared behind him. The ancient tree exuded an extremely majestic vitality.
Longevity Tree.
This was Perfected Lord Taiwei's Life Spirit.
The branches of the ancient tree rustled and swayed. Several branches swept down and wrapped around Zhou Wudao's body. As the radiance of his Life Spirit flickered, waves of vitality spread along the branches. The soul power that was far more powerful than Qin Hao's Tranquil Nether Water firmly protected Zhou Wudao's soul. The pierced wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Fortunately, I didn't shatter his heart. His body can still be used."
Perfected Lord Tai Wei said. After the wound healed, he took out a purple pill from his robe and put it into Zhou Wudao's mouth.
Although his injuries were healed, Shenghua's power was too strong. His palm penetrated Zhou Wudao's body, and the power that shook his body almost annihilated his spirit.
"Cough cough cough …" Zhou Wudao violently coughed a few times. His fuzzy consciousness gradually gathered. He lifted his head and weakly glanced at Qin Hao. This experience of escaping from death was something that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
At this moment, the space was silent. The disciples of the Seven Peaks were shocked and looked at the chief of Daozang Peak in confusion. Why did Shenghua attack Zhou Wudao?
Was it just to punish him? Was it because he didn't like him because he destroyed the Origin of the Formation?
"Hahaha."
Shenghua smiled and looked like he didn't care. Facing the puzzled gazes of the disciples of the Seven Peaks, he seemed to be enjoying it.
"I didn't realize that you're no longer my disciple."
After a long while, the old man Daozang's sigh came from the training hall.
"Evil Spirit Corruption."
Tian Quan gritted his teeth and growled.
The evil spirit was buried, but the evil spirit was not extinguished!
Shenghua was not Shenghua, but the evil spirit that was suppressed in Yunyi Peak had corrupted him.
"What?"
"How could this be!"
Boom!
The minds of the disciples of the Seven Peaks shook violently. Their hearts felt like they were being squeezed tightly by a hand, and they were about to suffocate.
Wasn't the evil spirit suppressed in Yunyi Peak?
Why … would Shenghua be corrupted by the evil spirit?
Many disciples looked at the Heavenly Jade Pillar. The cracks on the pillar had clearly been repaired, and it was suppressed by the seven Peak Venerables. How could it still be corrupted?
"It's really enjoyable to see your faces filled with confusion and fear. Unfortunately, I can't continue to enjoy it. I'm a little reluctant … That's right, I'm the evil spirit you speak of, but I didn't lose my mind due to corruption. I'm the amalgamation of evil spirits buried in Yunyi Peak. Or … it's more appropriate to call me the Origin of Evil."
Shenghua's eyes flashed with an intense evil light. When he said the last sentence, the voice that came out of his throat was like a combination of countless voices. There were men and women, old and young. Tens of thousands of voices combined together and attacked everyone's hearts.
"Origin of Evil?"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The seven Peak Venerables were shocked. Even the master of the Divine Palace, Tian Quan, showed a look of fear.
"Are you surprised?
Are you surprised?
Do you feel very scared in your heart?
This is all because of you. "
Shenghua's voice suddenly became extremely rough. His face seemed to be made up of countless faces. Strange faces were changing back and forth, as if there were countless angry people shouting.
He was not corrupted, but the amalgamation of all evil.
His body carried the souls of the evil spirits buried in Yunyi Peak. He was the Evil King, the Evil Emperor, or … the Evil God.
Of course, he was still Shenghua.
Because Shenghua's soul had merged with tens of thousands of evil spirits, becoming a new existence. This body contained all the ugliness in the world.
As if to prove his words, Shenghua waved his hand. Invisible, a powerful force spread in the void and swept toward the Heavenly Jade Pillar.
Old Taoist Yunyi, who was guarding beside the Jade Pillar, sensed it. The Nirvana Emperor's aura around him bloomed to the extreme. Waves of platinum light intertwined. With a thought, he created arrays, one array, two arrays, and in the blink of an eye, endless array light wrapped tightly around the Heavenly Jade Pillar.
Guarding the array source of the Divine Palace was the responsibility of the Peak Venerables of Yunyi.
What a pity!
The overwhelming array light could not stop Shenghua's evil power at all. As if it did not exist, it was easily penetrated by the evil power and hit the Heavenly Jade Pillar.
Boom!
The solid jade pillar exploded, and a cloud of black smoke spread out, emitting a strong rotten smell. It was as if the sky and earth had been swallowed up by darkness at this moment, turning into a devil's paradise and a devil's hell. The panicked cries of the disciples connected together.
But Shenghua was not ready to attack others. What he did was to restore the truth of the Divine Palace and let this batch of disciples fall into fear.
As the black smoke gradually thinned, everyone could see the surrounding scenery clearly. Everything around them had changed greatly.
The Saint Qi that shrouded Yunyi Peak had completely disappeared. Everywhere was broken, and the peak was tilted, as if a shocking bloody battle had broken out.
And at the original position of the Heavenly Jade Pillar, a huge and bottomless blood abyss had formed. Terrifying blood light surged out of the broken rock mouth, and illusory shadows floated in the air, like evil spirits laughing strangely.
At this moment, the disciples of the Seven Peaks went completely crazy. They were all scared out of their wits, and fear spread from the soles of their feet to the rest of their bodies. They wanted to shout and run, but their bodies did not listen.
"I originally thought that the mastermind behind this was Uncle-Master Yunyi, but I didn't expect it to be you."
A calm voice sounded. Qin Hao stepped out and looked at Shenghua who was floating in the air.
Afraid?
Of course they were.
The current Shenghua was the source of all evil, and could be called the god of evil. He was truly terrifying.
But what could they do even if they were afraid?
They couldn't leave even if they wanted to. They had to face what they had to face, so it was better to let go of everything and face the fear directly.
"I'm very curious, how did you sense that there was something wrong with the Divine Palace?"
Shenghua asked.
"Is it important?"
Qin Hao said coldly. He glanced at all the disciples of the Seven Peaks behind him. "Who still doubts my words now?
The Divine Palace exists in name only, and it has ceased to exist a long time ago. What we saw was just a deliberately created illusion.
All the Peak Masters, Elders, and Senior Brothers of the various Peaks are deceased. "
"What should we do?"
"Senior brother Qin Hao, what should we do?"
"I don't want to die. I don't want to die here."
Whoosh!
The new disciples gathered in Qin Hao's camp, and no one hesitated. They knew very well that this new batch of disciples were the real living people.
And in the crowd, Ning Tianxing's palms were sweating, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably. He felt extremely cold.
"Quiet."
Shou Wuque roared, looking at the disciples of the Seven Peaks who were so scared that their souls were about to leave their bodies. How could these people be called geniuses of the four regions?
Qin Hao ignored the disciples of the Seven Peaks who were scared out of their wits. Instead, he looked at Tian Quan, who was floating in the air, and said with a choked voice, "Master, can you remember?"
He was naturally referring to the day the Divine Palace was destroyed.
Tian Quan shook his head. "I don't remember, but I always had a feeling that I was going to die."
At this point, Tian Quan let out an ugly and sad laugh, as if mocking his ignorance.
As the Nirvana Great Emperor, stepping onto the Divine Path had always been the wish of the Peak Masters of the Divine Palace.
Therefore, when he couldn't feel the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the first thing he thought of was that he was about to take that step, and not death.
If Qin Hao hadn't exposed him today, perhaps Tian Quan would have continued to deceive himself.
"It's normal that he doesn't know, because once he remembers, he can no longer continue to exist, and the same goes for others."
Shenghua said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
Qin Hao looked at Shenghua.
The Divine Palace was destroyed by Shenghua, and he gathered the Way of the Matrix and left the remnant souls of the seven Peak Masters. Since the remnant souls were protected by the matrix, why did the seven Peak Masters' remnant souls disappear when they remembered that day?
"Do you think they are remnant souls?"
Shenghua shook his head. "They are just a wisp of obsession. Because their obsession is too deep and they can't let go, these old things firmly believe that the Divine Palace is still the original Divine Palace, and everything has changed. They still want to teach their disciples that what you see is not an illusion created by me at all, but a beautiful dream created by their obsession. If the dream is shattered, do you think their obsession can accept it?"
Shenghua sighed and shook his head. "Pitiful, too pitiful. I destroyed their bodies, refined their Way, and swallowed their spiritual souls, but they still left behind a wisp of obsession, trying to preserve the beauty in their hearts and carrying on the belief of the Divine Palace, continuing to cultivate disciples for me to absorb."
