613: Hatred that was Hard to Dispel

Hatred that was Hard to Dispel

The path of a saint.

There were always people who possessed ideals and beliefs that others their age and even generation didn't possess. These people harbored feelings and fighting spirits. They spoke and did things people their age and generation couldn't.

Maybe in the eyes of other people, they might seem dumb to be offering their lives to a belief that seemed impossible.

However, those who pushed history and pushed generations to advance were these people with unwavering beliefs and ideals.

At this moment, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor became Saint Woodcutter's disciple on the sacrificial altar. Saint Woodcutter stretched out his hands to hold him up by the elbow. He said with a smile, "Maybe your success in the future may be even bigger and even higher than mine. When you look at the current me in the future, you will become my teacher."

Qin Mu walked up to the sacrificial altar and saw Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor doing the disciple rite as he stood beside Saint Woodcutter. He said with a smile, "Teacher, junior brother, I'm a step late."

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was startled. His frown turned into a smile. "Second senior brother."

"I think Heavenly King should still call me Cult Master Qin. Second senior brother sounds very weird." Qin Mu's face instantly turned black.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor laughed loudly.

Qin Mu was shocked at his laugh. He then revealed a smile.

The time he had known Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor wasn't that long. He only met him after entering Imperial College, and only afterward did they start talking.

In the past, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was a man who didn't joke around. He had his firm belief and Dao heart that were capable of doing anything to achieve what he wanted. His thoughts were as deep as the sea, and his face was calm as an old well. No expression could be seen on his face.

He was like a perfect god that had no human feelings.

However, after being in contact with him for so long, Qin Mu gradually discovered the human emotions of Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor. Little by little, he was changing from a god into a human.

So when Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor laughed loudly, Qin Mu felt that his Dao heart had suddenly crossed into another realm—a realm that he couldn't understand. It was like a god and yet not a god. Like human and yet not human.

He was within the seven affections and six desires, but he was outside of it. He had the absolute rationality of a god, but he didn't have it as well.

Qin Mu couldn't understand such a person like him.

"Imperial Preceptor's comprehension is indeed more outstanding than mine, having such a drastic improvement in his frame of mind after meeting Teacher Woodcutter for just this short while. As expected of the saint that appears once every five hundred years."

Qin Mu consoled himself. "Luckily, I have the overlord body. As long as I work hard enough, I can activate all the potential of the overlord body and surpass him!"

Saint Woodcutter said, "Qin Mu, you can return to Supreme Emperor Heaven now. I need a long time to discuss with your junior brother."

Qin Mu hesitated and asked, "What about Senior Tiger and Granny? What happened to their fight with Yu Luosha and Mu Tuluo?"

"Mu Tuluo wore the clothes of that woman, and he got beaten to death by the black tiger. On the other hand, Yu Luosha was saved by Fu Riluo. That woman and black tiger returned to Supreme Emperor Heaven."

"As I thought." Qin Mu revealed a smile.

Saint Woodcutter opened a passage to Supreme Emperor Heaven for him, but Qin Mu dilly-dallied, not willing to go in. "Teacher, I'll just listen at the side. I won't speak. As the senior brother, if there's anything junior brother doesn't know, I can give him some pointers. Am I right, junior—"

Saint Woodcutter grabbed him by the collar and stuffed him into the passage. Qin Mu planned to run back to listen, but the passage was already closed.

Back in the sacrificial altar, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor asked with a smile, "Teacher, why didn't you let Senior Brother Qin listen?"

"He's not suitable."

Saint Woodcutter said, "His nature is actually not suitable for our path. What kind of person do you think your second senior brother is?"

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor muttered for a moment and said, "Playful, eager, and can't sit still. He's always rushing ahead with a hot head, yet he's still cunning and meticulous. He's brilliant and can think of things that others can't. He frequently comes up with ideas that even I couldn't think of. Also, he's very magnanimous, having a very broad mind. He is also very confident, and that confidence is close to crazy. In his heart, he always feels he's the number one in the world although he claims to be number two. However, in terms of confidence, he is indeed the number one in the world."

"Those are rather detailed observations."

Saint Woodcutter rubbed his palms and praised, "You understand him more than I do. I also felt this way about him. As a saint, he isn't suitable."

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor nodded. "Second senior brother is indeed not suitable. What about big senior brother?"

"Your big senior brother is another kind of person."

Saint Woodcutter explained, "He is a person with great willpower, and he's very steady. As long as he set his mind on a goal, no one can pull him back. It's also because of that why he had a slight misunderstanding with the path of the saint. When it comes to the path of the saint, both of your senior brothers are inferior to you. Follow me to cultivate for a few years, and I will teach you everything I have comprehended."

He continued slowly, "My willpower is weak, and I can never cross the pit in my heart. I'm always falling into the memories of Founding Emperor Era, and I've been tied up in knots regarding Founding Emperor's escape. You are different because you don't have this kind of pit. You will learn what I have comprehended, and you will cross this pit effortlessly. When that time comes, you shall become a true saint!"

His eyes became bright, and he said with a smile, "For the next few years, focus your mind on comprehending. No matter if it's Supreme Emperor Heaven or Eternal Peace, do not think about them. Do not get involved. Focus on crossing the pit."

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor acknowledged. Soon after, the two of them sat across each other on the sacrificial altar.

…

Supreme Emperor Heaven. Decaying City of the devil race.

Decaying City was originally one of the sixty-four god cities of Supreme Emperor Heaven. It had undergone a massive renovation after landing into the hands of the devil race. Countless devils lived here, and they forged all kinds of devil god statues and devil palaces.

This city was considered the center of the devil race's territory as it was one of the earliest places to fall into their hands. Because of this, there were numerous devils, and it was hard for humans to even find their way here.

The devils here lived in peace and worked happily. There were even devil gods guarding the city. Countless humans were enslaved here, serving the devils, so they were quite well-off.

When Chi Xi was teleported to this place, Decaying City was currently celebrating a traditional festival—Sacrifice festival. There were many devil youths carrying livestock, while others were beating drums and gongs. They danced strange dances that were accompanied by strange music that was filled with exotic tunes. There were also female devils with four faces, four arms, and four breasts dancing on the festooned carriages. They attracted cheers with their alluring poses.

They had to roam the city for the sacrifice.

The sacrifice group raised the livestock above their heads and danced as they walked one round throughout the city. Only then did they raise the livestock to each and every sacrificial altar in the city. On the altars, the devil gods were smiling and looking at their celebrating clansmen.

As this moment, the strong devil youths were bringing the livestock up to the sacrificial altar, and offer their sacrifices to the devil god.

It was a huge honor to be the first one who would bring the sacrifice, so there wasn't just one group fighting to offer their sacrifices. It was a competition between hundreds to thousands of devil families in the city, making this festival very lively and rowdy.

A streak of light descended from the sky, and Chi Xi landed on one of the sacrificial altars.

"Old schemer! How dare he scheme me!"

His voice was like a clap of thunder, reverberating throughout the festival. All of the devils stilled and countless gazes landed on Chi Xi.

On the sacrificial altar, the devil god was currently laughing—he was anticipating the offerings from the youths—and the appearance of Chi Xi had also caught him off guard.

Under Chi Xi's feet, the teleportation runes formed by the shining light were gradually fading away. He slowly raised his three heads and looked around.

"Devil race!"

This executioner of the Crimson Light Era suddenly blew up. His three heads gave off an earthshaking roar, "Devil race—

"My clansmen had crossed billions of stars and crossed countless deadly zones, finally arriving at the vicinity of our ancestral land after much effort! It was the devil race—

"It was the devil race who had slaughtered their way in our planet. They killed my clansmen and wiped out my race!"

His dried-up and yellowish hair rose. It swept out in all directions like tens of thousands of yellow swords. In a radius of three hundred yards, all of the devils clutched at their throats. This attack only took an instant.

Someone raised his hand and saw warm devil blood on the palm he had used to cover his neck.

Someone lowered their head, and his head suddenly slid off his neck.

In front of the sacrificial altar, the gorgeous canopies of the carriages slowly slid off from their flowery poles. The cuts on the poles were clean and straight. The roof of a house nearby slid off as well and crashed on the ground with a loud rumble.

Beyond them, the rooftops of the palaces started to slide down one by one. The roofs of the other houses slid down as well.2

Within this radius of three hundred yards, heads fell to the ground and blood spurted everywhere.

Countless qi and blood transformed into red lines and flowed towards Chi Xi from their thoracic cavity.

On the sacrificial altar where Chi Xi landed, the devil god managed to avoid this vicious move, and he couldn't help breaking down when he saw such a sight. With an angry roar, he stretched out his hands and grabbed two devil god weapons to attack Chi Xi.

Chi Xi's six arms were like a storm, striking numerous times in just a short instant. He shattered the devil god weapons and the body of that devil god as well!

The other devil gods flew over from other sacrificial altars when they heard Chi Xi's assault. One of the devil gods recognized Chi Xi, and he shouted miserably, "It's him! He was the one who had brought those planets to descend, and wiped out our Luofu Heaven! He was the who had killed our previous respectable king—"

"Die!"

A great number of voices rang out from Decaying City, followed by a legion of strong devil practitioners rushing at Chi Xi with anger that overflowed to the sky.

Not long after, Decaying City was completely silent.

Chi Xi's six eyes were crimson red as he breathed heavily. As this moment, he had already had his fill of qi and blood. He had already recovered to his peak, and by logic, he could stop killing and leave now. However, he continued his massacre, killing everyone in this devil city until there were no lifeforms that could stand up other than him!

"I've brought my clansmen to float in space for thousands of years. We spent thousands of years just to find our ancestral land! It was you guys who killed my clansmen, and only I was left, hehe, only I was left..."

His six arms opened wide and stretched out in all directions. They grabbed the devil god weapons that he had just shattered, and they collided in his surroundings as they formed a large metal sphere.

Chi Xi's three heads spewed fire and refined the broken pieces of devil god weapons, smelting and forging them into six bright divine knives.

With the six knives in his hands, he looked into the distance. A vast number of devil gods from the other cities were rushing over.
