Chapter 292: Chapter 218: Stricken Bo Gu! Sudden Change! Turning into a Demon?_2
Bo Gu, known as the reincarnated Confucian Saint and a genius in literature, slowly sank into silence.
He had always been the one to strike others down, but now he was experiencing defeat for the first time.
A person who had never studied calligraphy could infuse meaning with just three strokes; how was this learned?
"I understand now why the teacher left so peacefully."
Bo Gu looked at Su Changqing and couldn’t help but exclaim, "With you here, how can the Confucian path not flourish?"
Saying this, he showed a broad smile and said, "Little Junior Brother, I will take you back to the sect."
"In six months, I’ll be waiting for you at the Holy Academy."
Li Qingchen’s departure had saddened Bo Gu deeply, but Su Changqing’s appearance rekindled his hope.
Though Li Qingchen was gone, the Confucian Immortal had found an even stronger successor.
"Senior Brother, wait for me a moment."
Su Changqing nodded and then proceeded toward the newly formed black hole.
The formation of the black hole caused a violent tremor from the Creation Jade, Heaven-Opening Axe, and Chaos Pearl within his Fate Palace.
This was unprecedented; he wanted to see what could elicit such a reaction from the legendary divine objects.
Bo Gu, though somewhat perplexed, followed Su Changqing to the center of this dark world.
As the Master of Wilderness Mountain opened the portal to the Outer Domain, the ground at this world’s center seemed to have a large section swallowed, revealing the core beneath.
Black soil, a black abyss, and pervasive dark runes converged, emitting a dim glow.
"There!"
Su Changqing’s gaze swept over the abyss, finally fixed on the most intricate area within the center where the dark runes were densest.
There lay a palm-sized, irregular black jade.
The black jade was deep and lightless, wrapped in endless runes, floating as if it were breathing with life.
Its surface was covered with mysterious and complex black runes, flowing like intertwining streams.
"Born from heaven and earth?"
Su Changqing’s gaze sharpened, his face showing astonishment.
The divine runes flowing on the black jade were unfamiliar yet felt incredibly familiar.
They were remarkably similar to the patterns being nurtured on the Creation Jade!
However, the runes on the Creation Jade were cultivated techniques accumulated by Su Changqing himself.
Whereas this black jade... was born from absorbing endless dark power, created by heaven and earth!
"Junior Brother, what are you looking at?"
At this moment, Bo Gu’s puzzled voice interrupted Su Changqing’s contemplation.
Su Changqing paused, and pointed to the mysterious black jade, "Senior Brother, can’t you see it?"
"Interwoven runes, a black jade birthed by heaven and earth?"
"Jade?"
Bo Gu followed Su Changqing’s direction but saw only darkness.
Not to mention runes or jade, he felt no trace of presence at all.
"Senior Brother... can you really not see it?"
Su Changqing felt a chill down his spine, goosebumps rising as he looked at the black jade.
What on earth was this?
Even Bo Gu at the peak of the Great Saint couldn’t see it, yet he could see it clearly?
"Is it because there’s something special about me?"
Su Changqing focused within himself, exploring, and his gaze landed on the gently trembling Creation Jade.
If he differed from ordinary people, it was likely because of the four divine objects condensed within him.
Creation Jade Butterfly, Heaven-Opening Axe, Chaos Pearl... and the untrained form of the Creation Cyan Lotus!
"Possessing four divine objects grants the privilege to see it?"
"What on earth is this?"
Su Changqing’s eyes held a mix of wariness and curiosity.
"Junior Brother, don’t take any risks!"
Bo Gu’s gaze was solemn as he said, "Perhaps the things born within this dark world are deeply sinister."
He swept over the empty area, sternly saying:
"It’s deserted here; wait until your cultivation is complete, and then checking it will not be late."
Su Changqing nodded in agreement.
The darkness beyond was something even the Great Emperor deeply feared, better not to provoke it now.
With this thought, Su Changqing turned to return to the Little Immortal Sect with Bo Gu.
But suddenly...
Woo woo woo!
Gale winds rose between heaven and earth, deep black mist coalescing into a towering tornado, standing at this dark world’s center.
Endless darkness spread, and the black jade, like a menacing ancient beast, consumed all the negative energies within this realm.
In just a brief moment, the black jade seemed to be completely nurtured, with darkness radiating intensely.
Whoosh!
The black jade stone seemed to be drawn by something, like a streak of black light, directly shot into Su Changqing’s forehead.
"Brother Chang Qing!"
Bo Gu’s complexion changed instantly.
In his vision, although he couldn’t see the black jade stone, nor could he see the complex runes,
he could feel that something had just merged into Su Changqing’s body in an instant.
Without any hesitation, Bo Gu’s aura erupted, and the brilliant righteousness enveloped Su Changqing’s whole body, trying to force out the object.
"What is this thing..."
At this moment, Su Changqing’s expression also changed instantly.
The black jade stone unexpectedly broke into his life palace directly, forcibly occupying the center position of the Creation jade stone.
Furthermore, the black jade stone and the Creation jade stone seemed innately opposed, and when the two collided, a fierce battle erupted instantly.
The Creation jade stone’s light shone brightly, with a milky white full of vitality occupying half of the life palace.
On the other side, the black jade stone was not weak at all, the abyss-like darkness could actually rival the Creation jade stone.
The two sides contested fiercely, alternating between black and white in the vast life palace, with a terrifying aura permeating it.
And what shocked Su Changqing the most was that the light emitted by the dark jade stone affected not only the interior of the life palace.
Even his body was greatly influenced!
As the darkness merged in, half of his body, and even the world within him, instantly turned black!
"What... what is happening!"
Su Changqing was somewhat at a loss, completely unsure how to restrain the black jade stone.
And what surprised him the most.
The complete Creation jade stone, claimed to be a godly object with innate emperor’s weapon, could not withstand the palm-sized, yet incomplete black jade?
At this moment, as time passed, the vitality of the Creation jade stone was slowly forced into the corner.
Inside and out, Su Changqing was filled with endless darkness.
And just as he was about to become ’blackened’ completely...
Boom!
An aura of destruction that made the heavens and earth fear and tremble, causing Bo Gu to be astonished, surged skyward from Su Changqing.
The aura was extremely pure, filled with a sense of ruthlessness and destruction.
Even the dark mist, claiming to be immortal and indestructible, instantly vanished when it approached Su Changqing.
At this moment, Su Changqing’s appearance also underwent immense change.
His ink-black hair suddenly showed specks of white at the roots, and as a gentle breeze blew, the ink hair danced and turned white in an instant.
Endless mysterious dark runes slowly emerged from Su Changqing’s body surface.
Though enveloped in the black mist, Su Changqing’s appearance didn’t change much, just became more pronounced.
The knife-chiselled jawline made his scholarly and gentle demeanor vanish instantly, looking distant and unreachable.
Suddenly, Su Changqing opened his eyes, which were deep as the abyss, cold and ruthless.
As if even if the heavens collapse before him and all things perish, it would be hard to shake his emotions.
"Outer Domain... Demon?"
Seeing the greatly changed, malevolent Su Changqing, Bo Gu’s eyes were full of astonishment.
Su Changqing now looked more demonic than even the demons themselves.
Yet... when feeling closely, it was discovered that the surging aura did not match the demons.
Those demons also emitted darkness, but the darkness was filled with endless negative aura.
But Su Changqing, the darkness around him... was only destruction!
Pure destruction so strong that it seemed to tear the skies and earth apart, annihilating everything.
"What exactly is this thing, why would the universe birth such a terrifying being?"
Bo Gu’s heart was in chaos, wanting to help Su Changqing, but finding no way to start.
Su Changqing’s cold eyes made Bo Gu’s heart tremble just by being looked at.
It was a fear that arose from the depths of a living soul.
"The aura that disgusts me."
Suddenly, Su Changqing’s cold eyes looked at Bo Gu, muttering to himself, "Let it be destroyed..."
He gently stretched out his finger, and the pure darkness, carrying overwhelming destruction, slowly condensed from the void.
"Roar!"
A fish leaping and dragon swimming, a violent dragon roar exploded from the heavens and earth.
"Fish Dragon Dance..."
Bo Gu’s face showed disbelief.
The dragon shadow leaping in the sky was recognizable to him; it was the Fish Dragon Dance from the four arts of celestial cultivation.
But at this moment, the celestial rune was filled with destructive aura.
The dragon, usually radiant with golden light, now... emitted endless darkness!
