309: Chapter 309 A Prodigy of the Extreme Realm Wants to Die for Himself? Lu Sheng: The debt isn't paid off yet, who gave you permission to die!

The Shura Blood Plain had now become a field of ruins.

That Abyssal Mother Worm, which occupied half the sky, had its spine pierced by the Ancient Emperor's spear, and its core, the heart of the true sea, had been swallowed whole by Lu Sheng. However, a centipede dies but never falls—it was not yet truly dead.

"Screeech—!!!"

A shrill high-frequency shriek, loud enough to pierce eardrums, exploded from within the mother worm's withered body.

Its originally massive and bloated Physical Body did not collapse and rot as everyone expected. Instead, like a balloon being inflated, it began to expand frantically at a speed that defied physical common sense.

Under its purplish-black skin, countless thick blood vessels bulged like writhing venomous snakes, emitting a heart-palpitating red light.

An extremely unstable energy fluctuation, filled with an Aura of destruction and chaos, was climbing exponentially within its body.

"Not good! It's going to self-detonate!!"

At the edge of the Blood Plain, a surviving Zixiao Sword Sect Elder turned pale, and the broken sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang."

This was an abyssal mother body that had parasitized a Spirit Sovereign and devoured countless resources!

Once it self-detonated, let alone this already shattered Shura Purgatory Realm, even the Kunlun Main Peak outside would likely be leveled to the ground!

"Run! Run quickly!!"

The survivors went mad.

The teleportation formation had long been destroyed in the previous battle, and this space was sealed off into a dead zone.

Despair submerged everything like a tide.

Just as the masses were collapsing.

"Zheng—"

A clear sword chime suppressed all the noise.

At the edge of the chaotic ruins, Dao Yi stood up unsteadily.

His moon-white Daoist robe had long been stained dark red with blood, and black poisonous blood constantly seeped from his seven orifices—a backlash from his previous forced assault on the mother worm's eyes.

But his eyes were frighteningly bright at this moment.

"Supreme... Emotionless."

Dao Yi whispered softly.

He slowly raised his right hand. There was no sword at his fingertips, but he used his body as a sword, igniting a raging purple-gold fire.

That fire burned his Origin, his extreme realm Foundation, and even his Soul.

"Everyone, step back."

Dao Yi's voice wasn't loud, yet it spread clearly across the field.

He turned his head, glancing at the group of terrified fellow cultivators behind him, then at Lu Sheng, who was standing on the mother worm's corpse in the distance, seemingly dazed.

That look was complicated to the extreme.

There was relief, regret, and a hint of... entrustment.

"Lu Sheng, although you're a lunatic and a bastard..."

A sorrowful smile played at the corner of Dao Yi's mouth as the Purple Fire instantly consumed half his body. "But as I said, you are the only variable."

"The heart of the true sea has entered your body. You shall walk the path ahead for me."

"This final tribulation, I will bear it."

Boom!!

Dao Yi transformed into a purple-gold streak of light, rushing without hesitation toward the Abyssal Mother Worm that was about to explode.

"Supreme Forbidden Art — Void Banishment!!"

He intended to use his life to forcibly cut open a Void Realm rift and drag this "bomb," capable of destroying the world, into the endless Void Realm turbulence.

"Senior Brother Dao Yi!!"

"No!!"

Countless Kunlun Disciples knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

This was the true character a Holy Land Prodigy should possess!

This was the responsibility of an extreme realm powerhouse!

An emotion called "tragic heroism" instantly colored the entire world.

Even Luo Tianfei couldn't help but cover her lips, her eyes turning red.

However.

Just as Dao Yi was about to touch the mother worm and complete his final moment of heroic sacrifice.

"Slap."

A large hand, covered in dark-gold bone spurs and still stained with thick black blood, reached out abruptly from the side.

There were no Spiritual Qi fluctuations, just pure extreme speed from physical power.

That hand was like snuffing out a cigarette butt.

It grabbed Dao Yi's burning and extremely noble head.

Then.

It slammed it down fiercely.

"Bang!!!"

A dull, heavy sound.

Dao Yi, who had been charging like a meteor, was smashed directly into the ground by this brute force.

The hard blood-mud ground was smashed into a large pit, and Dao Yi's entire face was buried in it. The originally tragic atmosphere of sacrifice shattered instantly.

The entire field fell into a dead silence.

The Disciples who were still weeping had tears hanging on their faces; they didn't know whether to cry or stop. Each one had their mouth wide open, like ducks being strangled by the neck.

"Who the Hell gave you permission to die?"

An extremely annoyed and violent voice rang out above Dao Yi's head.

Lu Sheng stepped on the edge of the pit. The hand holding Dao Yi's head didn't let go; instead, it ground down with force.

"Did you treat what I just told you as wind passing by your ears?"

Lu Sheng looked down at the figure still struggling in confusion in the pit, his gaze as cold as if he were looking at an idiot. "Your life belongs to me."

"I haven't even collected that down payment from just now, and you want to welsh on the debt?"

"Want to die?"

Lu Sheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of forest-white fangs. "Have you asked your creditor?!"

Dao Yi: "..."

He struggled to pull his head out of the pit, his face covered in mud. The Aura of being prepared to die was completely wiped away by that one slap.

"Lu Sheng!!"

Dao Yi trembled with rage, pointing at the mother worm that had expanded to its limit and was about to explode, roaring, "Are you crazy?! It's going to blow!! Except for banishment, no one can stop it!!"

"Stop it?"

Lu Sheng straightened up and shoved his hands back into his pockets. His lazy appearance was like an old man out for a stroll after a meal.

He looked up at the giant "meatball."

"This thing is indeed a bit bloating."

Lu Sheng licked his lips, a greyish-white greed flashing in his eyes. "But wasting food will bring divine punishment."

"Don't you want to see my trump card?"

Lu Sheng turned his head and gave Dao Yi a strange smile.

"Then... keep your damn eyes wide open and watch."

Boom!!

Lu Sheng's right foot slammed onto the ground.

"Archaic Heaven Emperor Venerable—get out here and work!!"

Behind him, that thousand-meter dharma idol, which was originally covered in cracks from tanking a hit from the Abyssal Lord, rose from the ground again.

This time, the dharma idol did not use any weapons.

It only slowly raised its head that towered into the clouds.

At the center of the dharma idol's forehead, the originally closed vertical eye was now trembling violently.

A terrifying fluctuation of laws, originating from an ancient Divine Artifact but completely modified by the Desolation Origin, was brewing.

"hao tian mirror..."

Lu Sheng murmured to himself, stroking his own forehead. "I've eaten so many of your fragments. If you can't even suppress this small scene, I'll gouge you out and feed you to the dogs."

"Open... for me!!!"

Buzz——————!!!!!

All color vanished from the world.

Only a streak of greyish-white remained.

It was a beam of light shot from the forehead of the emperor venerable dharma idol.

It possessed no high temperature and no impact force.

It had only one characteristic—stillness.

Or rather, it forcibly reverted the state of all things to the freeze-frame before "Desolation."

That greyish-white light beam accurately hit the Abyssal Mother Worm that was about to self-detonate.

A bizarre scene occurred.

The mother worm, which was expanding frantically and even had its skin cracked to reveal the destructive energy within, was actually... stuck the moment the light beam hit it.

It was like pressing the pause button while watching a video.

The flames of the explosion were frozen in mid-air, and the bursting flesh was static in place.

"This... what kind of pupillary art is this?!"

Dao Yi slumped on the ground, watching this scene, his worldview once again suffering a massive shock.

Freezing an abyssal self-detonation?

Is this something a Spirit Ancestor can do?!

"It can freeze it for a moment, but not forever."

Veins bulged on Lu Sheng's forehead; maintaining such a high-consumption pupillary art was clearly a huge burden for him.

Behind his head, the Five Elements Life-Extinction Wheel began to rotate frantically, emitting tooth-aching grinding sounds.

"Everyone, listen up!"

Lu Sheng's voice, amplified by the dharma idol, rang through the entire Shura Blood Plain like thunder.

"If you don't want to die, open your mouths!"

Open their mouths?

Before everyone could react.

Lu Sheng made a grasping motion in the air.

"Five Elements Reversal—Great Refinement!!"

Rumble!!

The Abyssal Mother Worm frozen in the air began to forcibly disintegrate under the terrifying suction of the Five Elements Life-Extinction Wheel.

The massive energy about to detonate within its body was not released to destroy the environment. Instead, it was forcibly drawn into that giant five-colored light wheel.

Crushed!

Purified!

Detoxified!

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

The originally polluted abyssal energy, filtered through the Desolation Origin, actually transformed into the purest and most primitive... life spiritual liquid!

"Go!"

Lu Sheng waved his hand.

Splash—

A brilliantly colored five-element spiritual rain fell from the sky, covering the entire Shura Blood Plain.

That wasn't rain.

That was the product of Spiritual Qi liquefied to the extreme!

A heavily injured and dying Disciple subconsciously opened his mouth and caught a drop of rain.

"Boom!"

His originally depleted Dantian was instantly filled as if high-octane fuel had been poured in, and his withered Meridians filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Broken bones reconnected, and flesh regenerated!

Even the Bottleneck that had troubled him for years loosened under the impact of this massive energy.

"This... this is a great tonic!!"

That Disciple trembled with excitement. Ignoring the filth on the ground, he lay flat and swallowed the spiritual rain frantically, like a traveler who had been thirsty for three days in the desert.

"My injuries are healed!!"

"Heavens! I've broken through! I've been stuck at Level 30 for three years, and I've actually broken through!!"

Exclamations rose one after another.

The original Hell instantly turned into a paradise.

Everyone went wild, each tilting their heads back and opening their mouths wide, greedily accepting this gift from the "Devil Head."

Among these beneficiaries, the one with the greatest change was Luo Tianfei.

She had already awakened the mutated Bloodline of the "Ancient Nether Phoenix." At this moment, these spiritual rains filtered through the Desolation Origin were simply a divine medicine tailored for her.

"Chirp————!!"

A clear and high-pitched Phoenix cry suppressed the cheers of the entire field.

Luo Tianfei floated in mid-air. Her damaged purple clothes were reshaped in the spiritual light, and the Underworld Phoenix dharma idol behind her surged to three hundred meters. The grey flames burning at the edges of its wings became deeper and more solid.

Level 34... Level 35!

She broke through two levels in a row, stepping directly into the threshold of the mid-stage Spirit Ancestor!

"This bastard..."

Luo Tianfei opened her eyes, feeling the surging power within her. In her gaze toward Lu Sheng, the original hint of resistance had long since vanished, replaced by a frenzy that wanted to carve this man into her very bones.

He was hardly eating alone.

He was clearly... using the most domineering and unreasonable way to forcibly bring everyone back to life!

"Burp."

Lu Sheng, at the eye of the storm, was not as relaxed as everyone imagined.

Although he was the chef and the biggest diner, the energy of that mother worm was simply too massive.

Even though more than half had been diverted, the remaining part still made his Meridians ache with bloating.

"Damn, this junk food is too high in calories."

Lu Sheng grumbled as he retracted his dharma idol and slowly landed on the ground.

By now, the Abyssal Mother Worm had completely disappeared, with not even a scrap left, all turned into experience packs for everyone.

The sky and earth were clear.

Except for the large pit on the ground where Dao Yi had been smashed, it was as if nothing had happened.

Lu Sheng walked to the edge of the pit and looked at Dao Yi, who was still sitting on the ground with a face full of doubt about his life.

"How is it?"

Lu Sheng kicked Dao Yi's leg and took out a spiritual fruit from his pocket, taking a bite. "Are you satisfied with this meal?"

Dao Yi looked up.

His Aura of Supreme Emotionless had long since vanished, and his face still had mud marks, making him look wretched and ridiculous.

He looked at Lu Sheng, his lips trembling for a long time.

Finally, he only managed to squeeze out one sentence:

"You... really are a lunatic."

"A lunatic?"

Lu Sheng chewed the fruit flesh and shrugged indifferently. "Say whatever you want."

He turned to look at the gradually collapsing Shura Blood Plain space barrier and the Kunlun Main Peak outside, which was already in a mess.

The grey light in his eyes slowly receded.

It was replaced by an unprecedented gravity.

"The meal is finished, and I've gathered enough strength."

Lu Sheng flicked the fruit pit away, his voice low but carrying a chill that made Dao Yi's heart tremble.

"Next..."

"It's time to find those 'main courses' that haven't come to the table yet... and settle the accounts properly."

Although the Kunlun Sect Leader was dead, that was just a shell.

The real mastermind, the source that could corrupt the entire Kunlun high-level into Puppets... at this moment, they are probably hiding in the shadows, drooling.
