Chapter 2480 Returning to the Abyss of Fate
Shangguan Biao's smile slowly faded. "You've killed more than ten times as many people as I have, haven't you? And yet, they still worship you as the reincarnated Dragon God? Heh, heh heh, I can see the overwhelming bloodlust on your body right now! You can fool others, but you can't fool me—"
He stared intently at He Lingchuan.
Unfortunately, although He Lingchuan stood in front of Shangguan Biao, the light shining through the gap behind him hid the face of the Nine Nether Emperor in darkness.
Shangguan Biao tried hard to see his face clearly:
"There are no true saints in this world! Deep down, you are far darker and more filthy than I am. Aren't you?"
Anyone who can easily see through his scam must be a more sophisticated swindler.
The person who can easily see through his trap must be an even more cunning hunter!
The fact that the Nine Nether Emperor could see through his thoughts and actions shows that he himself was also immersed in a deeper and broader darkness!
How can such a person have a bright heart?
"It's just that you concealed it well, your level is too high, even your companions didn't notice! Everyone who mentions the Nine Nether Emperor gives him a thumbs up and praises him as a Holy King! But I saw through you!" Shangguan Biao also gave him a thumbs up, "You're smarter than me, and you disguised yourself better than me, you deserve to win, you deserve it!"
Having lived this entire life, he could only express his true feelings before his death, and after speaking them, he felt a sense of relief.
He Lingchuan turned slightly to the side, and the light filtering through the crack illuminated half of his face, while the other half remained hidden in deep darkness.
"Thank you for the compliment, but—"
He paused.
Shangguan Biao was still holding his breath, eager to hear what would happen next.
"You're too noisy."
He Lingchuan gently grasped the hilt of Fusheng's knife.
The knife seemed to tremble slightly, and there was a faint ripple in the air, like a breeze creating ripples on a pond.
Just a trace, then vanishes into nothingness.
Shangguan Biao seemed stunned; time seemed to stand still in this small space.
Then, a scratch appeared on his waist.
Over the past few thousand years, the most important moments in my life flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern, from being wrongly accused of a lowly servant to becoming the powerful master of Changfeng Valley, avenging my blood feud, and finally taking control of the mighty Jade Capital City...
He had a legendary life, but there was a huge black hole in his heart that could never be filled and was always restless. Even after death, he could not find peace and was forced to become Mother Earth, busy day after day.
It seems someone once asked him what he really wanted.
All these years have passed, and he still hasn't found the answer. Or rather, he's only found one answer: become stronger, become invincible.
and then?
Should there be a "then" part?
If, if he had had any other choice back then, things wouldn't have come to this...
No! Suddenly, a light shone in his eyes and mind.
Actually, he always had other options, he always did.
Fate had given him several chances, but he only saw one path.
He Lingchuan looked at him with the same gaze that Shangguan Biao used to give to mortals:
"Summer insects cannot speak of ice."
Shangguan Biao looked at his waist, then at He Lingchuan, and hesitated to speak.
As soon as He Lingchuan reached out, those around him saw Shangguan Biao's figure blur and turn into a black light, which was absorbed into the palm of the Nine Nether Emperor.
"Rest in peace. Let those restless and resentful thoughts return to the abyss of fate."
After He Lingchuan finished speaking, he reached out and caught a ring that fell from mid-air.
This is something Shangguan Biao carried with him even on his deathbed; it must be very precious.
Sure enough, he took out a coconut-shaped stone and examined it closely.
"The Earth Mother's Stone Heart!" Aunt Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that this is indeed Shangguan Biao's true form."
Such a precious treasure could only be carried by Shangguan Biao himself.
He Lingchuan's acquisition of the Stone Heart means that no one else can control Yujing City anymore.
The last time everyone saw the stone heart in Shangguan Biao's palm, it could still beat, but now it is as still as a work of art.
"After it malfunctioned, it stopped beating, and Shangguan Biao lost his ability to control Yujing City as a result." He Lingchuan put it away. "How can you feel at ease using stolen power?"
The second treasure he took out was an oval crystal plate, as thick as two palms put together, completely transparent without a single impurity.
Ling Jinbao asked curiously, "What is this?"
What Shangguan Biao carries with him must not be an ordinary treasure.
"This is the Yangguan Road, the treasure that the Heavenly Demon desires most." He Lingchuan raised his finger and tapped the crystal plate a few times, producing a clear, resonant sound. On the surface, the plate was nothing special, but this was in line with the First Shore Immortal's consistently simple aesthetic.
"Let me see the living creatures in Jade Capital City." With that, he let go.
The plate remained suspended in mid-air, and small dots gradually appeared on its surface, some light red, some dark red, and some so red they were almost purplish, and their sizes varied.
Bao Chihai pointed to the trading board: "We're here."
Their location was indicated by several red dots, two of which were a deep purplish red, and three or four so faint as to be almost invisible.
Ling Jinbao glanced at He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu. "Those two are the ones who're practically glowing red, aren't they?" he asked. "And who are these few with lighter spots?"
He didn't see any other humans or monsters approaching.
“Moths, insects and the like…” Bao Chihai shrugged. “There are lots of little creatures in this city.”
Since He Lingchuan's instructions required "living things in the city," it wasn't limited to living people and monsters.
"This life detector is quite useful." He Lingchuan put away Yang Guandao and breathed a sigh of relief.
They finally intercepted this treasure, preventing it from falling into the hands of the Heavenly Demon.
He added a heavy weight to the scales between the mortal realm and the celestial demons.
Then, everyone's gaze turned to the Berserker Bear King, who stood frozen in place, his fur standing on end.
If the spider queen hadn't blocked its escape route, it would have definitely fled through the door.
"Great Emperor, spare me! Great Emperor, you are merciful!" The opponent's power was enough to crush this heavily injured old bear. The Bear King could only bow its head to He Lingchuan, "I greatly weakened that old devil Shangguan Biao for you. Even if I didn't do a great job, I still deserve credit for my hard work!"
If it weren't for the fierce battle at the edge of the rift valley, Shangguan Biao wouldn't have been so powerless.
"What about the Radiant Realm?"
The Bear King took out the colored stone and obediently handed it over.
He Lingchuan took it and held it up to the light, and saw the fleeting light that seemed to float within the stone.
This is the treasure that holds the weight of Shangguan Biao's lifelong grievances.
The Divine Bone Necklace is getting hot again. This is a really good thing.
"After Shangguan Biao became a wandering soul, he used 'Flowing Light' to create a secret realm for himself, but wasn't this also a cage that imprisoned him?"
After He Lingchuan finished speaking, he gently tossed "Liuguang" upwards.
The stone was thrown in front of his neck and then disappeared.
The Bear King blinked hard, but still couldn't see where the stone had gone.
"As for you—" he looked at the Bear King, "Auntie, you're yours."
The Bear King was shocked. He was so badly injured that he didn't even have time to turn around before the Spider Queen pounced on him from behind and then bound him tightly with her silk.
