Chapter 318: Chapter 265: If Heaven Decrees Fate, Then Break This Heaven

He ended up in such a tragic state, all thanks to this demon!

If it weren’t for this demon devouring so many people in Chi’an County overnight, how would the commandery mansion have stormed the Void Nether Sect, and how could they have mistaken him for the demon!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

"Demon, die!"

Huan Ming roared, his hands also engulfed in black aura, striking swiftly at the person shrouded in black aura.

Baili Xinghua’s face was fierce and sinister as he raised his hand with a wave.

Buzz!

Endless black aura swept towards Huan Ming.

"Ah—"

The black aura enveloped Huan Ming, and one could hear the hair-raising screams from within.

A few breaths later, the black aura receded, leaving only a mummified corpse.

"It’s your turn, my junior brother." Baili Xinghua looked at Chu Ming with his eyes entirely devoid of whites.

With just one glance, Jiang Zhan and Meng Zhen felt their very souls trembling.

"County Magistrate Baili." Chu Ming stared at the man shrouded in black aura and finally spoke.

Who?!

The County Magistrate of Xirong County, Baili Xinghua?!

Meng Zhen and Jiang Zhan focused their eyes on him.

Indeed, it truly seemed like Baili Xinghua!

Why was this County Magistrate not staying in Xirong County? How did he end up in such a monstrous form?!

"Junior brother... let that mysterious master behind you... come forward."

Baili Xinghua’s voice was hoarse, each word uttered as if knives were stuck in his throat.

Chu Ming remained silent, only controlling two primordial artifacts to hover at his sides.

Seeing this scene, the black aura surrounding Baili Xinghua suddenly became agitated.

Then.

"So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is..." A hideous smile appeared on Baili Xinghua’s face, filled with black aura.

"There is no master at all... no master... it was you who ruined my plans multiple times!"

"It’s you! It’s you again!"

The black aura boiled over, not only restless at this moment but also continuously gathering above Baili Xinghua’s head, as if the wails of ghosts and wolves emanated from an endless abyss.

The entire Golden Snake Ridge seemed to be dragged into the night by the black aura.

At a certain moment, the black aura hung like a ghostly swamp, and Baili Xinghua spoke gloomily: "Junior brother, I admired you so much, why must you oppose your senior brother?"

After his words.

Woo woo—

"Become one with me..."

The ghostly swamp composed of black aura let out a low howl, swallowing towards Chu Ming and the two others.

Jiang Zhan and Meng Zhen stood with their spears at Chu Ming’s sides, neither retreating nor fearing.

Chu Ming’s expression remained calm. He gently raised his right hand, and the two primordial artifacts pierced through the void on either side.

At the same time, with him as the center, a white radiance seemed to bloom.

"Senior Brother Chu?"

"Chu Royal Attendant?"

In that instant, Jiang Zhan and Meng Zhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of reverence welling up inside them.

Immediately following.

The white radiance collided with the ghostly swamp of black aura.

Woo woo...

It seemed like the cries of ghosts; any black aura that touched the white radiance shrieked back as if terrified of the dawn before night.

Devouring played out.

But it was the white radiance devouring the ghostly swamp of black aura.

In just a few breaths, Golden Snake Ridge returned to daylight.

The white radiance spread, leaving no trace of black aura.

In front.

Baili Xinghua knelt like a puppet drained of Qi Blood, his withered arms feebly supporting his body.

He raised his sunken eyes, blankly staring at Chu Ming, with sparse white hair falling from his temples.

"Junior brother, I once was like you, full of spirit," Baili Xinghua seemed to come to his senses.

"When I first saw you, I gave you books, genuinely treating you as my junior brother because I saw the shadow of my younger self in you."

Clang!

As he spoke, a black bead fell from Baili Xinghua’s body.

Baili Xinghua’s gaze shifted slightly, glancing at the black bead before returning to look at Chu Ming.

"I once thought that as long as I tried hard enough, I could change this world..."

"But I was wrong..."

"From the moment I was born, my fate was destined to end today."

"Everything in this world was predetermined long ago."

"Despite my erudition and scholarly pursuits, I couldn’t escape a few words from those people... hehe..."

Baili Xinghua’s pupils gradually dilated.

"I struggled with myself all my life, only to discover," Baili Xinghua forced a sinister smile, "I was never myself; I hope... my junior brother can find himself..."

The moment his words ended, the withered wood supporting his body broke, and Baili Xinghua’s desolate body fell to the ground.

His breath extinguished like a lamp, leaving not a trace.

At the same time.

In a distant and unknown place, within a vast palace.

A person dressed in a golden robe sat atop a high seat in the hall, resting his cheek on one hand, seemingly dozing off.

Suddenly, the person in the golden robe slowly opened his eyes, which resembled a boundless star sea.

"Interesting, in such a remote place, at such a young age, comprehending the ’Domain’..."

He murmured softly, then lightly tapped the golden chair with his fingers.

After a moment.

A stunningly beautiful woman appeared below the grand hall.

"Domain Master." The woman bowed respectfully.

"Mm." The person in the golden robe did not look at the woman, his eyes lowered, as if lost in thought.

The woman waited quietly.

Before long.

The person in the golden robe, as if coming to a realization, slowly looked at the woman: "Biluo, do we have any deployments on the Cangqian Continent?"

"Cangqian Continent?" The woman looked puzzled, as if she didn’t know about the Cangqian Continent.

"Profound Celestial Domain, Qianwu Star Kingdom, Cangqian Continent," the person in the golden robe added.

"Domain Master..." Biluo bowed, "Our Cangqing Domain is fighting against the Profound Celestial Domain, and the Cangqian Continent is located within the Qianwu Star Kingdom of the Profound Celestial Domain..."

"Oh, I remember now." The person in the golden robe waved his hand, signaling the woman to leave.

Biluo bowed and exited the grand hall, and Cangqing returned to his pensive posture, resting his cheek on his hand.

"It seems I’ll still need to separate a bit of Divine Thought."

He lightly pointed his finger into the void, and a bit of white light flew out from his body, then hovered in front of him.

"It’s a pity that my ’Other-Transformed Divinity’ isn’t perfect yet, otherwise I could have taken some memories with it..."
