Within the Primordial Hellscape Painting, as those indistinct remnant souls expressed their gratitude, they each offered their names and origins.
The man in the iron crown was from an orthodoxy of the stars beyond, Extreme Lightning Divine Mountain. His name was Sun Muyan, and he was a high elder.
The moving beauty was from the Hundred Spirits Church, another faction of the stars beyond. She was its thirteenth leader!
All of them were World Kings, but their bodies had been destroyed. Their souls were trapped in the Primordial Hellscape Painting, their awareness muddled, neither fully human nor fully ghost.
By killing them, Su Yi had effectively freed them from longing to die, yet being unable to do so!
As they expressed their gratitude, all of them said that should Su Yi ever need anything, in light of this positive karma, he could seek out their respective factions for aid!
When the distant onlookers heard this, there was uproar in their ranks. Some gasped, others were envious and rueful...
No matter how they felt, they had a strong reaction.
After all, these remnant souls had all been World Kings in life, and all of them were from the stars beyond the Wilds.
Now, Su Yi had established positive karmic ties with all of them. There was no need to even think to know that, should he one day venture into the stars, he’d be able to obtain a lot of assistance!
However, Su Yi didn’t have much of a reaction. He even largely disregarded it.
He’d step into the World King Realm sooner or later. One day, he was sure to surpass even the Temple Master of the Temple of the Human Realm!
Although those confined within the Primordial Hellscape Painting were all World Kings, they’d all been trapped here by the Painter of the Studio of the Heart.
And a long, long time ago, the Temple Master viewed the Painter with disdain. He even said that if the Painter dared appear, he’d cut off his head and feed it to stray dogs!
Given the circumstances, Su Yi naturally wasn’t overly concerned about this good karma.
Before long, all of the indistinct remnant souls had expressed their thanks, and they disappeared, one by one.
Pi Mo could no longer suppress his astonishment. He couldn’t help but blurt, “How is this possible!?”
His characteristically steely face was full of disbelief.
To think that earlier, he’d proclaimed that he’d retrieve Su Yi’s corpse and belongings, then bury him on an auspicious day.
In the blink of an eye, the situation turned on its head. Seven terrifying existences were wiped out in a flash!
How could Pi Mo accept this?
The few remaining Emperors of the Six Great Daoist Factions were all startled and out of sorts. Their faces were ashen.
The Primordial Hellscape Painting had been Pi Mo’s killer move. Any one of those terrifying entities could have killed a late-stage Profound Unity cultivator with ease.
Yet now, Su Yi had massacred them all in the time it took to snap his fingers!
And the terrifying spirits even wept tears of gratitude!
No one could imagine what had led to this, but that was exactly why it was so unimaginably astonishing.
“Pi Mo, do you still need us to urge Master to admit defeat?” Wang Que said in a low voice, his tone rife with mockery.
Pi Mo’s expression was instantly extraordinarily unsightly. He rasped, “Junior Apprentice Brother, we’ve yet to determine a victor! See that? Master is injured. He’s at the end of his rope!
This declaration left the crowd inwardly solemn.
Because Pi Mo was right. Su Yi’s wounds would have been obvious to anyone, and his clothes were stained red with blood!
What they found particularly terrifying was that more of those terrifying spirits were awakening throughout the Primordial Hellscape Painting.₣ƦEE₩₦.₡ØM
There was no doubt about it; the ultimate victor of this battle was not yet clear!
“Besides, this battle has attracted attention throughout the Wilds and its affiliated worlds. I can say with certainty that many of the onlookers would just love to kill our master.” Pi Mo’s eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned the surrounding area. “Like the Church of the River of Stars and the Nine Heavens Pavilion! All of them have a grudge against him!”
Every word went off like a crack of thunder, reverberating throughout the landscape. The crowd’s expressions shifted.
Jin Kui, Ye Luo, and the others looked at each other, their hearts heavy.
They couldn’t deny it.
At his peak, no one would have dared recklessly act against their master. But what if he couldn’t hold out much longer?
“Then let them come!” The Skythorn Poison Emperor’s voice brimmed with murderous intent, and as he spoke, he glanced at Su Yi. “Old Monster Su, how much longer can you last?”
Su Yi gently wiped the blood off the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos. “I’ll kill until no one dares to fight me, of course.”
This light, airy declaration seemed utterly contemptuous and composed.
The crowd gasped, but they only half believed it.
Su Yi’s injuries were just too heavy. They couldn’t imagine how he’d last that long.
It was then that a cold, tranquil voice resounded from within the Primordial Hellscape Painting. “You’ll kill until no one dares fight you? I don’t believe it.”
Then, the door of the immortal cave tucked into a corner of the scroll painting opened, and a graceful figure emerged.
She had a beautiful, extraordinary figure, and her clothes were white and pristine.Her hair was tied up, and her skin was lustrous. She had a tranquil quality about her.
As soon as she appeared, the hundred thousand feet covered by the Primordial Hellscape Painting shook. Bloody mists churned, thunder rumbled, and lightning surged. Countless terrifying spirits emerged from the darkness.
All of this only further offset just how transcendent that woman’s majesty was!
“Who is that woman?”
“That looks like the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force’s honorary disciple, Song Chai!”
“How is that possible?”
A wave of uproar ensued as countless eyes converged on that mysterious woman.
“No, she isn’t Song Chai! She’s from the Studio of the Heart!” shouted Wang Que. “She took on the name Song Chai to infiltrate the Grotto of Abstruse Force, but she harbored ill intentions. It’s because of her that Pi Mo betrayed us!”
Uproar ensued. Countless onlookers were stunned to hear these secrets.
Only now did they realize that members of the Studio of the Heart had gotten close to the Swordmaster of Abstruse a long, long time ago!
“Young mistress, I apologize for disturbing you.” Pi Mo looked ashamed, but the depths of his gaze shone with delight and infatuation. She really does care about me! At this critical juncture, she came out to help me!
When they saw Pi Mo treat her with such respect, the crowd was stunned once more.
“No need for apologies. I wanted to speak with Su Xuanjun today anyway,” said the young mistress of the Studio of the Heart. Her gaze locked onto the distant Su Yi. “Long time no see, Swordmaster of Abstruse Force.”
Her voice was gentle, tranquil, and perfectly composed.
Su Yi’s gaze was inscrutable. “Once, while destroying a remnant of your founder’s will, I asked him about you, only for him to lose his temper. It was as if I’d touched his reverse scale. From this, I can see that your status in the Studio of the Heart is extraordinary and transcendent. Since you’re here, why not tell me about it?”
The young mistress of the Studio of the Heart said softly, “I’m curious too. Just how did you kill the World Kings trapped in the painting earlier? Might you enlighten me?”
“Oh,” said Su Yi. “Seems we won’t be able to chat after all. Let’s get right to it, then.”
The young mistress of the Studio of the Heart thought for a moment, then subtly inclined her head. “Very well. I dare not make reckless proclamations about anything else, but I can guarantee that here in the Primordial Hellscape Painting, you won’t be able to die even if you want to.”
Everyone could read between the lines. She was saying she wanted to capture him alive and imprison him in the painting, where he’d long for death yet be unable to die!
She seemed as tranquil as water, but this seemingly inadvertent display of domineering forcefulness sent chills through the crowd’s hearts.
Whoosh!
The young mistress of the Studio of the Heart. An old-fashioned blue paintbrush floated above her soft, pristine hand. It was about a foot long, with no flourishes save for its tip, which was like a bundle of five-colored divine flame.
A terrifying aura fluctuation emanated from the brush, fusing perfectly with the power of the Primordial Hellscape Painting!
It was as if she were a master painter, and the Primordial Hellscape Painting had appeared beneath her brush.contemporary romance
As she waved the brush through the air...
Boom!
The Primordial Hellscape Painting boiled over. Terrifying figures shot over from different sections of the painting, charging explosively at Su Yi.
One, two, three...
In the end, a full fifteen terrifying entities attacked at once. All of them displayed monstrous power that transcended the Profound Dao!
Them aside, lightning boomed overhead, flames soared through the air, and fierce winds ran rampant... All sorts of destructive powers burst forth, like the descent of an ancient calamity.
Even just watching from afar, even ancient relics like the Skythorn Poison Emperor couldn’t help but visibly react.
Too strong!
When the young mistress of the Studio of the Heart directed the painting, its power was obviously far greater than before!
They couldn’t help but suspect that even an Imperial Apex cultivator wouldn’t have been able to hold out once trapped inside!
The distant onlookers were already so astonished that their souls had practically left their bodies, and they quivered with fright.
Jin Kui, Ye Luo, and the others’ hearts were on tenterhooks once more.
Because their master was already badly injured. They couldn’t even imagine how he could overcome this!
“So, this is the true power of the Primordial Hellscape Painting...” Pi Mo’s eyes blazed with passion.
“Su Xuanjun, so long as you offer up the secrets of reincarnation, I can promise you a path to life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for coming to take them myself,” the young mistress of the Studio of the Heart said softly.
Her clothing swayed around her, and she held a paintbrush. She looked tranquil and gentle.
But in the eyes of the onlookers, this woman of mysterious origins was unquestionably the most terrifying person here!
Pi Mo’s expression abruptly shifted. He couldn’t help but cry out, “Young mistress, you absolutely cannot let him live! If he does, it’ll surely lead to trouble down the line!”
He was far too keenly aware of how terrifying his master was. He might only be in the Profound Illumination Realm currently, but he was already unbelievably strong.
He dared not even imagine how strong his master would be if he reached the Profound Serenity Realm, let alone the Profound Unity Realm!
That was why Pi Mo set all reservations aside and immediately objected.
But his behavior filled Jin Kui and the others with irrepressible murderous intent.
It was only today, after seeing the true Pi Mo for the first time, that they realized just how despicable and low the eldest senior apprentice brother they’d once respected was!
“Relax. We were once members of the same sect. We all ought to understand that even if Su Xuanjun dies in battle, there’s absolutely no way he’ll lower his head or make concessions,” sighed the young mistress of the Studio of the Heart. “But I actually rather hope he’ll do just that. That would be absolutely wonderful, a rare stroke of good fortune.”
Before her voice had even finished echoing through the air, the perils arising throughout the diagram charged toward Su Yi from all sides!
