Chapter 269
The Lianhua Terrace was shrouded in shadows of swords.
Ji Liang cursed inwardly, but still dared not reveal a trace of his aura. If it weren't for his few life-saving techniques, wouldn't he have been directly beaten to a pulp by Li Ziqing?!
Thinking of this, Ji Liang cursed Bai Xie a few more times.
Bai Xie had actually revealed his whereabouts, causing him to get into big trouble with Li Ziqing.
Just as Ji Liang was about to sneak away, a thin bamboo sword was placed against his neck at the critical moment:
"Li Ziqing".
"Our deal is already over!" Ji Liang swung his tail, only to be caught off guard.
He looked at the man in front of him warily, but his retreating steps proved that Ji Liang was still somewhat apprehensive when facing Li Ziqing.
Li Ziqing's cold eyes showed no emotion as he held his sword and threatened:
I couldn't find her.
Ji Liang really wanted to ram his head into it, his heart screaming:
What does it matter to me if you didn't find her?!
However, the difference in strength between him and Li Ziqing was huge. Who knew that even though he had devoured most of Li Ziqing's immortal soul, he could still suppress him to such an extent.
His immortal soul was different from others; it was a pure soul with an unparalleled sword heart.
As ordained by Heaven, this person's path of cultivation is vast and boundless.
Ji Liangzhen felt that if Li Ziqing cultivated for another one or two hundred years, there might really be one more supreme god in this world.
However, his immortal soul is now broken.
Ji Liang even vaguely smelled something else from Li Ziqing's remaining immortal soul, it seems that this body of the Supreme Sword Heart was also entangled by some unclean things.
His immortal soul was damaged, and his Dao heart was unstable.
As Ji Liang was pondering, he felt the thin sword slice through his skin at the neck, a slight pain spreading through him. The immortal lord before him slowly spoke:
"You should find a way to find her."
Li Ziqing's guess was correct, but Ji Liang also had his own ideas at this moment:
"yes."
Lianhuatai has been turned upside down by Li Ziqing, and it is no longer a safe place for him to hide. Ji Liang must find himself another safe place:
"Immortal Lord, the same old rules apply."
"I only want one fragment of your immortal soul this time. I'll find her for you." Ji Liang had his own little scheme in mind. After obtaining the immortal soul last time, his body had recovered considerably.
The hidden injuries sustained during the great battle have largely healed.
Ji Liang thought Li Ziqing would hesitate for a moment, after all, he should know that his current physical condition was not good.
"Okay." Li Ziqing only said one word.
Ji Liang then saw Li Ziqing forcibly extract a soul from his immortal body. When his palm emerged from his chest again, it contained an immortal soul, brimming with spiritual energy.
A few drops of blood dripped from Li Ziqing's fingertips and were instantly absorbed by the withered grass on the ground.
A hint of death appeared in his icy eyes.
Ji Liang did not wait. He condensed a drop of his essence blood and transformed it into a shadow-finding lamp.
"Follow it, and you will find the person you are looking for."
Those summoned using his secret method to reverse fate can have their aura tracked by the Shadow Lantern. Since Ji Liang has obtained a fragment of Li Ziqing's soul, he naturally won't suffer any losses.
"However, I still have to give you a piece of advice, Immortal Lord."
"Your body is no longer suitable to leave the Immortal Realm."
Having lost most of his immortal soul and spirit, his current body is highly sought after.
If Ji Liang wasn't mistaken, the scent in the immortal soul was the evil aura of the Land of Vengeful Spirits.
The evil aura had invaded the immortal body, which was almost devoid of purification power, so how could it let it go easily?
Ji Liang swallowed Li Ziqing's immortal soul. Seeing that the figure ignored him and simply left with the extinguished Seeking Lamp, he realized that the figure was not paying attention to him.
I don't know if I even listened to what they said.
That's enough.
Heaven has its way, and everything has its end.
He's just a beast that has fled from the divine realm, how could he care about so much?
However, Li Ziqing's swordsmanship did look somewhat familiar, making Ji Liang feel as if he had seen it several times during the great battle back then, but he couldn't remember whose swordsmanship it was at the moment.
Ji Liang licked his wounds. Tens of millions of years had passed since the fall of the God Realm, but those painful memories had not faded at all.
He stepped onto the ground, and magical runes appeared on his black horns.
Ji Liang thought of Lingbao Tianzun, who had once smiled at him, and the horrific scene of his body being pierced by ten thousand arrows. The old hand that had once stroked his horns countless times slowly fell in front of him.
“Ji Liang…”
"Run away..."
He was sent to the underworld by the last divine power of Lingbao Tianzun, far away from the final massacre in the divine realm.
Ji Liang felt his wounds healing, but his heart ached.
Who could have imagined that the disappearance of the divine realm wasn't, as legend has it, the fall of the gods during a great war, but rather...
Destroyed by mutual slaughter.
Ji Liang still vividly remembers the battle, when that man led 100,000 divine soldiers, his terrifying divine power oppressing everyone present.
"Gentlemen, if you are unwilling to stand on my side..."
"Then—"
Let's die together.
For thousands of years, Lingbao Tianzun had never concerned himself with the affairs of the divine realm, only indulging in elixirs and spiritual treasures. Yet, he was forced to get involved in that massacre war in the divine realm.
Just like the Heavenly Venerable, there are countless other innocent deities.
It was a bloody battlefield. The overwhelming power of one side left the gods with no chance to react, and they all died tragically at the hands of that one person.
The head of the God of Dawn was smashed, and the corpse of the Goddess of Jixin was trampled by the army.
......
Ji Liang only remembered that when he escaped from the God Realm, he saw a snow-white dragon covered in blood, summoning the Dragon Clan's innate lightning tribulation with all its might, which instantly annihilated a small portion of the divine soldiers who had slaughtered the God Realm.
Ji Liang recognized him and called him Jue.
He once sneaked into the Land of the Desolate Phoenix to try and seize a section of the Phoenix Frame, but was stopped by the Heavenly Venerable.
Later, Wei Jue was hailed as the supreme being of the Dragon Clan—the God of War of the Divine Clan—during the great war. In gratitude for Wei Jue's contributions in the great war, Lingbao Tianzun sent him to retrieve a section of the Phoenix Spirit and present it to Wei Jue.
When Ji Liang fled the God Realm, he was still carrying a piece of the Phoenix String that he hadn't yet given to the Heavenly Venerable.
The last scene in the God Realm was of Jue flying out of the endless sea of blood and attacking the culprit who had started the war of annihilation in the God Realm!
As for what happened later...
Ji Liang didn't know what had happened either.
After the realm of gods disappeared, he never heard the name Jue again.
