297: Fighting and aggressive, with only blood and courage

"Re-create a Heavenly Emperor!"

Just four words.

But Chu Mo's mind was deeply shaken.

Re-creating a Heavenly Emperor—what kind of scheme was this?

How could a Heavenly Emperor be created by human power?

"Heh heh, you also see how absurd this whole thing is, don't you?"

'Shen Qingqiu' was laughing.

Laughing at Xuan Ling for being foolish, laughing at Xuan Ling for overestimating himself...

"Yes! Re-creating a Heavenly Emperor is absurd, yet he did it. What about you? Haven't you ever thought of re-creating a Devil Emperor?!" Chu Mo looked at him, his emotions slowly receding, his voice becoming as calm as water.

"Xuan Ling is selecting a suitable person. What about you? Or have you already made your selection?"

Chu Mo's words carried a hidden meaning.

Shen Qingqiu might be the Devil Emperor candidate chosen by this guy, but only a candidate.

"Hahahahaha! You're very clever, truly very clever. What a pity, what a pity! If I had met you earlier, I definitely wouldn't have let you be chosen."

'Shen Qingqiu' seemed to be lamenting.

"I was chosen? What do you mean?!" Chu Mo asked for the reason, by whom he had been chosen.

But 'Shen Qingqiu' just smiled without speaking.

"Xuan Ling, that you mentioned?!"

'Shen Qingqiu' smiled.

"True Spirit of the Heavenly Emperor?"

'Shen Qingqiu' still maintained his smile.

"True Spirit of the Devil Emperor?"

'Shen Qingqiu' was still smiling.

"Immortal Realm? Demon Realm? World Will..."

This time, 'Shen Qingqiu' finally did not remain silent while smiling. He spoke, "Keep going, let's see what you can come up with!?"

Chu Mo understood.

'Shen Qingqiu' was toying with him.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo no longer delved into those matters, but instead said to 'Shen Qingqiu': "Both the Heavenly Emperor and the Devil Emperor perished. Logically, their True Spirits should be indestructible and enter Reincarnation. Why is Xuan Ling insistent on re-creating a Heavenly Emperor, and why don't you go find the Devil Emperor? As the Weapon Spirits of the Heavenly Emperor's and Devil Emperor's Imperial Weapons, you shouldn't have ulterior motives."

That's right.

The one before him was the Weapon Spirit of the Devil Emperor's Imperial Weapon, and Xuan Ling, whom he spoke of, was the Weapon Spirit of the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Weapon.

As for why Xuan Ling didn't look for the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation but instead wanted to re-create a Heavenly Emperor, Chu Mo didn't understand.

A majestic Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Weapon shouldn't be unable to find the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation. Why would it insist on re-creating a Heavenly Emperor?!

And this Devil Emperor's Imperial Weapon before him, it found a Shen Qingqiu...

"Could it be that Shen Qingqiu is the Reincarnation of the Devil Emperor?"

Chu Mo's murmur was heard by 'Shen Qingqiu,' who smiled and didn't mind: "In the Void Realm, there is no Reincarnation of the Devil Emperor, nor Reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. There are only products like you, a third creation where Immortal Souls and Demonic Souls are intertwined. Some have stronger Immortal Souls, some have stronger Demonic Souls. If they are balanced, the Immortal and Demonic cancel each other out, resulting in an ordinary person.

And the Demon Race you encountered before were also products created by Xuan Ling. This is preparation for the final 'Slaughtering Contest'."

"Slaughtering Contest"—that's really down to earth!

"Out of ninety-nine 'Slaughtering Contests,' only half managed to catch his eye, possessing the potential of a Heavenly Emperor. Of course, they also had the potential of a Devil Emperor, because, in a sense, his and my tastes are equally discerning."

Indeed!

One is the Imperial Weapon of a Heavenly Emperor, the other the Imperial Weapon of a Devil Emperor. Those who can catch your eye must simultaneously possess the potential of both Heavenly and Devil Emperors.

"What a pity, what a pity! If Xuan Ling hadn't interfered and caused such a huge mess, this promising talent might have truly become a Heavenly Emperor or a Devil Emperor..."

At this point, 'Shen Qingqiu,' whose tone had always been calm, spoke with an almost imperceptible hint of anger.

Clearly, he was very angry about Xuan Ling's outrageous actions.

"The Heavenly Emperor is hypocritical, and his Imperial Weapon is no better. Both are hypocrites who only do things that cannot see the light of day."

"What a good prospect, yet he said, 'Though this child has the potential of a Heavenly Emperor, he still needs tempering,' and then he brought the Yao Race into the game, calling it tempering, but he sat by and watched as True Immortal Yao Race members besieged that young fellow."

"Nine True Immortal Yao Race members!"

"A young fellow who hadn't even achieved Immortal Ascension yet, besieged by nine True Immortal Yao Race members—and these were not ordinary Yao Race members, but powerful Bloodline experts."

"One of them was even from the True Dragon lineage, with a Bloodline purity so high that in the True Dragon clan, he would be cherished as a treasure. In such a situation, even the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation would have to enter Reincarnation again."

"Despite this, that young fellow fought desperately, killing eight, and the True Dragon lineage one was gravely wounded and fled. Yet, Xuan Ling, that guy, was still not satisfied."

"Do you know what Xuan Ling, that idiot, said about that young fellow?"

At this point, 'Shen Qingqiu' clearly showed strong emotions, utterly infuriated.

If Xuan Ling were here, and if 'Shen Qingqiu' could beat Xuan Ling, he would surely sit on him and slap him repeatedly.

Chu Mo remained silent, simply waiting for 'Shen Qingqiu' to continue.

In this situation.

Saying the wrong thing would truly lead to a beating.

"Belligerent and full of reckless courage!" He summarized the entire life of this promising talent in just eight words.

'Shen Qingqiu' was laughing.

His laughter carried endless regret and anger.

........

"The Imperial Weapon of the Devil Emperor! Then, if I gain your approval, does that mean I have the potential of a Devil Emperor?!"

"Gain my approval? With your level, you're far from it! First, get rid of your slyness and dare to face people head-on. Even in his youth, the Devil Emperor slaughtered until no one in the Demon Realm dared to claim supremacy."

"Well, I can do that too!"

"You? Don't use schemes and tricks; fight your way up with genuine strength. Do you dare?"

"Dare? Why wouldn't I dare! When I get ruthless, I don't even spare my entire Family?!"

"Good kid, I didn't realize you had such ruthlessness!?"

"Of course! Before the Family Grand Competition, I not only put laxatives in their food, but also added soul-bewitching powder, bone-softening powder, spirit-dissolving powder... to ensure that after I won first place in the competition, no one would beat me."

"..."

"It's just so-so. By the way, does the Imperial Weapon have any dietary restrictions? Can you absorb poisoned blood?!"

"...You, you should have been Reincarnated in the Demon Realm, not here. You are truly a beast!"

........

"Kid, you're truly a beast! You can even lay your hands on such a beautiful young girl. This Chessboard, with a 'clang,' and she immediately cried."

"What's a Chessboard? I didn't even use you to smash her!"

"Uh... tell me honestly, do you have a grudge against her! She's such a pretty little girl, how can you be so heartless!"

"The first time we met, I told you, when I get ruthless, I don't even spare my entire Family. Also, can my Star Origin Chessboard be strengthened a bit? It's considered my Lifebound Weapon, after all."

"What, you're still planning to use it to smash people?!"

"What do you mean 'smash people'?! That's... a 'dou' (contest) of 'wen dou' (civilian contest), a matter for cultured people. Can it be called 'smashing'?"

........

"Nine True Immortals, they really think highly of me! Is this the final trial? But it's not like I have no means to escape."

"Escape? This is your trial. You only have one path: a bloody battle. Let me see your conviction to become a Heavenly Emperor, otherwise your Family, and everyone you know, I will kill! Oh, and since it's a Heavenly Emperor's trial, Wan Hai, you cannot use!"

"Do you think I'm easily scared? If I, your young master, want to leave, who can stop me? Not even you! Wan Hai, let's go!"

"Xuan Ling, we don't care for your Heavenly Emperor's trial. Let's go!"

"If you insist on leaving, then don't blame me... Kill!"

"Sixth Brother, I hurt so much..."

"Run! Don't mind us! Grandfather would rather die..."

"As the current Family Head, I order you to escape! Run as far as possible, and never, ever look back..."

"Bang!"

"I'll leave one. Count to three. If you don't answer in three seconds, I'll kill your last relative!"

"Fight! I... will fight!"

"Very good, you have made the correct choice. If you survive this battle, you will be the new Heavenly Emperor, and I will help you govern the Immortal Realm!"

"Xuan Ling, you bastard! You're forcing him to his death! He's never fought anyone head-on in his life!"

"Then this will be his first battle on the path to becoming Heavenly Emperor. One battle, to determine the imperial position!"

"Xuan Ling, you're a beast! Nine True Immortals—even in his youth, the Heavenly Emperor wasn't tested like this! You *******!"

"Wan Hai, I... I might die. Find someone worthy of you! A Devil Emperor should act like a Devil Emperor, don't be as useless as I am!"

"You're not useless, you're not useless at all. You fought nine Immortals alone before achieving Immortal Ascension, eight died and one fled. You are unprecedented and unrepeatable..."

"Heh heh, Wan Hai, if you have more to say, say it. I can take it. But, in my next life, I don't want to Cultivate anymore. Being an ordinary person is quite good..."

........

That young man who had been sneaky his whole life, sly his whole life, and lazy his whole life.

He never ran away, even to his death.

He fought to the very end.

Shedding the last drop of blood in his body.

He killed eight True Immortals and severely wounded a True Dragon descendant.

Only eight words remained.

Belligerent and full of reckless courage.

"But this, this was clearly forced by you! Xuan Ling, if you hadn't used his entire Family and everyone he knew to force him, he could have retreated then..."

"Xuan Ling, you truly deserve to die!"
