Chapter 550: Where Is My Mother Buried?

Chapter 550: Where Is My Mother Buried?

The wings were brimming with technological flair, iridescent and shimmering in a riot of colors—cool, flashy, and utterly ostentatious.

As the wings opened and closed, Qi Yuan’s figure soared into the sky in that instant.

Jindan He’s face showed shock: “What kind of magical artifact is this?”

He had seen many magical artifacts.

He was even an artificer himself, having forged no small number of them.

It could be said that in this Cloudblood City, no one understood magical artifacts better than he did.

These strangely shaped wings were far too bizarre!

“Magical artifact? This is a flight wing, a mecha!” Qi Yuan directly denied.

He was undergoing mortal transformation, not slacking off.

To deal with this mortal transformation, he had deliberately prepared many technological creations on the way here.

Drones, tech wings—you name it.

The technology given by Zero One… was simply too much.

Space compression tech, nanotechnology, anti-gravity tech, and so on.

Of course, when forging these technological creations, he had still used a tiny bit of his artificer abilities.

But it was absolutely just a tiny bit, and on top of that, he had painted them all!

When other officials bought imported cars, they could paint them and claim to the top leader that they were domestically made.

He painted his—calling them technological creations wasn’t too much, was it?

As he spoke, his figure suddenly accelerated.

“Watch my supersonic attack!”

Qi Yuan let out a loud shout, his speed abruptly increasing, surpassing the speed of sound.

In the Immortal Realm, such speed was nothing, but this was the Divine Wood Universe.

This speed was enough to make even Heaven-tier experts take notice.

“Ten times the speed of sound!”

A powerful fist, a robust physique, and blistering speed.

With this punch, relying solely on bodily impact, Qi Yuan could crush a Heaven-tier Weapon Master to death.

“Heaven-Earth Force!”

Seeing Qi Yuan charging, that elder of Thornblood quickly summoned the Heaven-Earth Force.

Instantly, the surrounding Heaven-Earth Force converged, forming a barrier before him, granting him a sliver of security.

Boom!

The terrifying figure slammed into it. The elder’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

The Heaven-Earth Force… actually didn’t block it!

Pity, his mind was limited; he could only think that far before his body shattered into a mist of blood.

“How is that possible!”

“The Seventh Elder is dead?”

“And you still say you’re not a transcendent? The Heaven-Earth Force doesn’t even guard against you!” Jindan He roared loudly.

Rumor had it that a Heaven-tier Weapon Master who had mastered the Heaven-Earth Force to its utmost could use special techniques to make the force yield.

Clearly, the white-haired man before him was such a special existence.

Clearly a transcendent, yet claiming not to be—were they mocking them?

“Damn it, how can you slander my innocence out of thin air? Where am I a transcendent?” Qi Yuan said while fighting. “I just… have a good relationship with the Heaven-Earth Force, so it doesn’t stop me.”

“Ah, you lot—misshapen melons and cracked dates, neither human, nor beast, nor ghost—naturally don’t have the troubles of a handsome guy like me.

Wait until you grow handsome, then you’ll know… how warm this world is to us!”

As Qi Yuan’s words fell, his superlative speed sent another punch flying.

In an instant, another elder of Thornblood was slain.

“E-everyone… unite…” a stammering Thornblood elder shouted loudly.

Qi Yuan grew anxious just watching.

“Stammering and still living in this world—what for, taking up memory?

Let me help the Divine Wood Universe clear out some memory!”

Qi Yuan was aggressive indeed; in a flash, he slew that stammering Thornblood elder.

In the blink of an eye, three Thornblood elders had fallen.

Seeing this, Jindan He’s eyes nearly split: “Who the hell are you? This is the territory of the Dark Eye Trickster God! Offend a trickster god, and you’re dead for sure!”

Jindan He couldn’t understand—how could anyone dare to run wild in Cloudblood City, killing innocents?

This was a place under a trickster god’s jurisdiction, part of the Black Sky Black Earth domain.

Even members of the Human Enlightenment Society, when they came here, had to tuck their tails between their legs. To swagger about like this was utterly unheard of!

Moreover, though Qi Yuan had white hair, his spirit and energy were excellent. The Human Enlightenment Society wouldn’t send such a prodigy into enemy-occupied territory.

Wasn’t that just asking for death?

The Kuijin Realm—once in, never out!

For enemies to enter, only death awaited!

“What trickster god? Anyone who stops my mortal transformation—all must die?”

Qi Yuan couldn’t care less.

His greatest goal now was mortal transformation.

Anyone who hindered that was a potential enemy.

“Trying to run? Did you ask my wings?”

Qi Yuan’s speed was extreme—slay gods when gods block, slay Buddhas when Buddhas block.

These lofty Heaven-tier experts were no match for Qi Yuan at all.

Instant kill!

Complete instant kill!

A one-sided battle, with no suspense whatsoever.

In just a dozen breaths, all the Heaven-tier experts were utterly slain.

As for Jindan He, though he fled very fast, he had no wings after all—how could he be quicker than Qi Yuan?

“All dead, but… the battle is not over yet.”

Qi Yuan’s gaze fell upon the Blood Tiger on the ground, his eyes grave.

That was the true great enemy; the rest were merely appetizers.

Yet, when he saw that man, Qi Yuan’s eyes suddenly contracted.

How could it be…

At this moment, the Blood Tiger was a wretched sight—the shockwave of a Heavenly-level master’s strike had battered his body, shattering it, blood streaming, nine-tenths of his life already spent.

The last tenth he used on his communication artifact.

In that artifact, he hurled at the Blood Tiger Gang leader: “I fuck your mother!”

After sending that message, the Blood Tiger’s pupils had long since glazed over.

He hated it!

Hated it with a vengeance!

Those bastards of the Blood Tiger Gang had sent him to face such a terrifying existence.

Hadn’t they seen those Heavenly-level elders fall beneath his hand like chopping vegetables?

The Blood Tiger gave his signature neck twist, his breath spent, dying with eyes wide open in resentment.

Qi Yuan’s figure descended, a look of disbelief on his face.

After a long moment, he sighed: “Truly a gentleman—he must have seen me strike, known he was no match, and taken his own life!”

As for being struck by the shockwave?

That was surely an illusion.

“These inner-city specters… are too many. It seems I need to clear some memory for the Kuijin Realm!”

Qi Yuan’s gaze turned fierce.

These specters in the inner city were all potential criminals hindering his path to mortal transformation; they all had to die.

And slaying these specters would net him no small amount of experience—a win-win.

If he killed every specter in this world, the experience gained would be immense.

A few more rounds like this, and he might not even need mortal transformation to become a Progenitor God.

“Kill!” Qi Yuan’s form vanished.

The slaughter… had only just begun!

…

Unknown space.

The Immortal Spirit Junjie frowned, his expression complex. The old man chuckled, with an immortal air: “What, did this mission’s failure hit you hard?”

Immortal Spirit Junjie shook his head, his mind replaying Qi Yuan’s words.

And all of Qi Yuan’s actions—they were far too astonishing.

“Elder, could it be… that the Divine Wood Universe hides… a mortal-transforming realm lord?”

The old man before him was the Great Elder of the Immortal Spirit clan, second only to the clan’s Yang God ancestor in strength.

And his seniority was actually older than that Yang God ancestor.

The Great Elder shook his head: “What nonsense are you talking? How could the Divine Wood Universe have a mortal-transforming realm lord?

The Divine Wood Universe… its waters run deep, even with Progenitor Gods comparable to Yang God Second Heaven.

But a Yang God Third Heaven—absolutely not!”

The Great Elder stated firmly.

Yang God Second Heaven and Yang God Third Heaven were a threshold.

To reach Yang God Third Heaven, one must comprehend the universe’s laws and merge with them.

Yet the Divine Wood Universe was merely a cosmic embryo, and a special one at that.

Its cosmic laws… were peculiar, seemingly scattered among the Fate-Bearers.

This meant that even a perfected Yang God Second Heaven could not step into the Third.

Unless… through a special method, all Fate-Bearers were sacrificed to the universe.

And now, the Divine Wood Universe’s strongest, Yuan, was a Fate-Bearer.

Without his support, the Divine Wood Universe would have likely fallen.

Centuries ago, if Yuan hadn’t gone alone, bearing a broken, half-finished Light Treasure, to the Void Sea to face the Black Heaven and Black Earth’s tenfold stronger enemies,

And finally made the enemy hesitate, sparing the Human Alliance from calamity.

Such a pillar, such a support—how could the Human Alliance cut him off?

And even if they did, could they guarantee someone would step into the realm lord stage?

Even with a few more realm lord powerhouses, could they withstand the Black Heaven and Black Earth?

The Great Elder shared his thoughts with Immortal Spirit Junjie.

Immortal Spirit Junjie fell silent, then slowly said: “Could it be from another universe?”

Since the Divine Wood Universe lacked the conditions for a realm lord’s birth, what about other universes?

The Great Elder shook his head: “Other universes are even less likely. A Yang God Second Heaven can still enter another universe, but a Yang God Third Heaven, merged with its own universe, rashly going to another—that signifies hostility, a collision of universes, and will invite the universe’s will to strike them down!”

Hearing this, Immortal Spirit Junjie fell into deep silence.

So his speculation was false.

“I know you may have seen some genius that dazzled you, and can’t help but let your mind wander.

The universe is vast beyond measure; in my lifetime, I’ve never traversed it all. All kinds of peerless prodigies are like fish in a river, or like bubbles in a dream.

Without becoming a Yang God, without becoming a realm lord, in the end, you’re just a passerby, a speck of dust in the cosmos.” The Great Elder said.

Immortal Spirit Junjie nodded: “Thank you, Elder.”

But then, thinking of something, he asked: “Does the Elder know… the origin of the Black Heaven?”

The mysterious and terrifying Black Heaven—Immortal Spirit Junjie had long heard of its name.

Yet he never knew its origin.

Even in the Void Paradise, there was no information on the Black Heaven’s true origin to exchange.

The Great Elder shook his head: “I am weak and lowly—how could I know such secrets?”

Hearing this, Immortal Spirit Junjie sighed: “It seems only the Void Realm Lord knows the Black Heaven’s origin.”

Becoming number one on the Void Paradise’s leaderboard allowed one to ask the Void Realm Lord a question.

Immortal Spirit Junjie knew that the Human Alliance had once pooled the universe’s strength to help a Void Walker of the Void Paradise complete a task and become the leaderboard’s top.

That Void Walker had asked about the Black Heaven on behalf of the Divine Wood Universe.

According to the rumors that leaked out, the Void Realm Lord told the Void Walker about the origins of Dark Heaven.

But in just an instant, the Void Walker forgot all about the origins of Dark Heaven.

……

Kuijin Realm, Cloudblood City.

The Blood Tiger Gang leader's face was pale as he stared at the message in his communication device, his heart trembling with fear.

"What happened?"

"Lord Blood Tiger is usually so gentle—why would he curse at me like this?"

The Blood Tiger Gang leader's heart was in turmoil; that line "I'll fuck your mother" from Lord Blood Tiger had terrified him.

"Could it be..."

A horrifying thought suddenly struck him.

"Strategist, where is my mother buried?" the Blood Tiger Gang leader asked.

The strategist quickly replied, "In the Purple Star Forest!"

"Hurry and dig up my mother's grave, bring her bones here—I'll deliver them to Lord Blood Tiger myself!" the Blood Tiger Gang leader said in a low voice.

A mild-tempered, smiling tiger like Blood Tiger would never curse like that.

So, he really meant to fuck!

"Mother, in life your son never let you enjoy comfort, but after death... let you have some pleasure!" Blood Tiger murmured in his heart, comforting himself.

This wasn't filial impiety—it was a show of filial devotion.

After all, his mother had taken pride in serving Thorn Blood, that half-human, half-demon.

Now that she was dead, let her have her moment of glory.

But just then, his expression suddenly shifted: "What divine being dares to trespass into my Blood Tiger Gang!"

As the words fell, a man shrouded entirely in darkness appeared, radiating a dangerous aura.

"I came here to take someone away... Where is Qi Yuan?"

The white-haired cultivator was also named Qi Yuan.

Having received news from Wu Xiang, the black-clad man immediately rushed to the Blood Tiger Gang, hoping to rescue Qi Yuan.

He had originally thought a great battle would erupt here.

He would wait for the right moment to strike, save Qi Yuan, and then smoothly invite him to join the rebels.

But who would have guessed—on the way, he suddenly heard a rumbling noise, like an earthquake.

The sound came from the inner city. He thought something had gone wrong, dared not investigate the inner city, hesitated on the spot for a long time, and finally chose to come here.

And so, this scene unfolded.

The Blood Tiger Gang leader looked at the black-clad man, his face showing wariness: "He's not here. Right now, he's in the inner city—probably already captured by Lord Blood Tiger!"

He didn't want to start a fight with this mysterious man.

The black-clad man narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised but more disappointed: "He went to the inner city?"

If he went to the inner city, then there was no saving him.

"What happened in the inner city?" the black-clad man probed the Blood Tiger Gang leader, though he didn't expect an answer.

"I..." Before the Blood Tiger Gang leader could speak,

Suddenly, his strategist's expression changed drastically.

"Bad news, leader! A demon-killing madman has appeared in the inner city!" the strategist shouted frantically.

Just moments ago, his communication device had also received news that someone had broken into the inner city.

"Slaughtering in the inner city? Is he asking for death!" the Blood Tiger Gang leader declared loudly, utterly unperturbed.

Though the earlier tremor was terrifying,

Cloudblood City had Thorn Blood guarding it, and the Demon God Dark Pupil was always ready to descend.

No major upheaval was possible.

"Right, I panicked for nothing. The inner city is as solid as iron—how could anything major happen!" the strategist said.

But inwardly, he was still curious—why hadn't that person replied to his message?

Could he be taking a bath?

A strange glint flashed in the black-clad man's eyes.

Someone was wreaking havoc in the inner city?

What kind of powerful figure was this?

He hesitated for a moment, looked toward the inner city, and finally decided to sneak a glance.

After all, even if a human warrior falls in battle, there must be an audience to witness it, to record this moment, so he doesn't die in silence!
