Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1185 548: Wu Qi Dies Again

This Heavenly Bridge was built by the Daoist of Qing Yang, connecting the gateway of Despair Slope. Without the bridge, Despair Slope and the West Bull New Continent would be two different worlds.

Chen Yindou didn't stop his pace, running away from Heavenly Dao City towards Xinxiang Imperial City.

"Isn't Senior Wu Qi coming out with us?" Li Tianqing kept looking back and asked.

Yang Bi was also looking back but couldn't see the figure of Wu Qi.

"He won't follow us." Chen Shi's voice came through.

Both looked at him, seeing Chen Shi sitting on the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, silently recalling every detail of the fight between the Heavenly Venerate and Wu Qi, attempting to search for any flaws of the Heavenly Venerate.

The opportunity was rare. At this moment, he possessed the Innate Dao Embryo, his wisdom reaching unprecedented heights. If even now he couldn't find a flaw in the Heavenly Venerate, then there would be no hope of defeating him.

Upon seeing this, Yang Bi and Li Tianqing also settled their minds and began to think deeply.

Within Despair Slope, evil qi and demon qi criss-crossed, polluting the void and causing many cultivators inside to involuntarily undergo evil transformation.

Meanwhile, at the True God Dojo, eight Heavenly Dao Practitioners were undergoing Harmonization at this critical moment when suddenly, evil qi infiltrated the dojo. One Daoist couldn't help but cry out, his body rising into the sky, a burst of demonic light above his head, uncontrollably plunging into evil transformation.

Seeing this, the other Heavenly Dao Practitioners either quickly broke off from the Harmonization, gathering their hearts and holding their Dao hearts steady or were a step too late, falling into evil transformation.

Those few Daoists holding their Dao hearts firm were caught off guard by their evil-transformed companions' deadly attacks, their bodies and heads separated.

On the altar, Fairy Qiu Ning had been guarding the place. Although the recent turmoil affected her too, she had a heavy responsibility and didn't intervene. She thought that, with the strength of the Heavenly Venerate, he would quickly resolve his opponent. Little did she know, the battle's rapid and dramatic changes caught her off guard too.

The Heavenly Venerate first fell into a beaten state, then unexpectedly activated Demon Technique and turned the tide, leaving her staring in disbelief.

But what followed—blood invasion, the world's evil transformation—left her at a loss, only realizing as Chen Yindou carved out a bloody path to escape. By then, the portal of Despair Slope had already been sealed by the blood and flesh, and the opportunity was lost.

Despite being an immortal of the Heavenly Dao, she shivered slightly.

"Heavenly Venerate, you probably truly are a demon of the Demon Path!"

Her heart jumped erratically, "Could it be that he truly is the culprit behind the world's evil transformation as Wu Wang said? What should I do?"

Terror filled her heart. Almost everyone in Despair Slope had their current achievements because of the Heavenly Venerate's teachings and guidance, and all were his followers, their admiration second only to the Outer Heaven True God. But the Outer Heaven True God was too elusive, a dream unreachable.

Only the Heavenly Venerate was approachable and treated everyone amicably, without any airs.

It can be said that Despair Slope was entirely created by the Heavenly Venerate.

The one who established Despair Slope betrayed it, becoming its greatest enemy?

Such a thing seemed absurd, yet it happened!

"I have achieved what I have today because of the Heavenly Venerate's teachings. Should I strike against him, or should I obey him?"

A flash of insight crossed Fairy Qiu Ning's mind, her heart suddenly clear, "Benefiting from the Heavenly Venerate, gratitude in return is personal righteousness. EXtinguishing the world, harming all people, we demon-slayers and demon-removers should uphold righteousness. In the face of greater righteousness, personal righteousness must be set aside!"

She immediately charged towards the Heavenly Venerate. At this moment, waves of evil qi invaded her Harmonization's small world, weighing heavily.

Though the True God Dojo shouldn't have been invaded by evil qi, the Outer Heaven True God had been demonized by the Grand Sacrificial Wine and Chu Feng, causing the True God Dojo to also be polluted by evil qi.

Fairy Qiu Ning charged halfway and was already influenced by the evil qi, unable to resist crying out as her energy soared skyward, billowing like smoke, exploding into the sky!

She knew the harm of the evil qi invasion, but her Dao heart could no longer suppress it. After all, she wasn't a true immortal, merely harmonizing in someone else's Daoist Field. Even a true immortal would be corrupted by evil when facing such pollution, let alone her?

Her body trembled violently, followed by her physical body growing wildly, transforming, and resembling, in some ways, the Ghost Clan afflicted by the evil qi as she charged towards the Heavenly Venerate and Wu Qi.

Before she could reach them, an invisible divine skill struck, swatting her like a fly, blowing her apart in mid-air.

Against Wu Qi and the Heavenly Venerate, she had no ability to participate in battle.

The fight between Wu Qi and the Heavenly Venerate continued.

Wu Qi's onslaught was even more formidable than before, striking more ferociously, following an all-or-nothing approach.

Earlier, he had used the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence to resist the Heavenly Venerate's attacks, now abandoning all defense, fully unleashing the flask's power, continuously sweeping towards the Heavenly Venerate!

The Heavenly Venerate's strength was superior, and earlier Wu Qi had created an advantage against him using the power of the flask. But now the blood invasion was surging at him, suppressing the flask's potency.

This flesh and blood were refined in the flames of the flask but continued to surge endlessly, compressing and covering even filling the sea of fire!

Nonetheless, Wu Qi remained undaunted by death. While desperately fighting the Heavenly Venerate, he fervently activated the flask, trying to draw the Heavenly Venerate into the jade bottle for refining!

Surrounding the duo, flesh and blood rose like mountains, enveloping them, covering the ground and the Heavenly Dome.

"Wu Qi, they have already abandoned you."

The Heavenly Venerate withdrew, no longer engaging with him, hidden within the pulsating mass of flesh, laughing as he said, "You are a discarded piece, just as you discarded the ancestors of the Da Shang Heavenly Court when you fought me back then."
