Purifying the Forbidden Region

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

All sorts of things from the past surfaced in Xu Qing’s eyes. In the end, the scenes in his memories gradually blurred like ink.

It dyed everything and gathered into Li Zimei’s distorted face in the tree.

It was very clear.

The fiendish intent became even more intense.

Coupled with Li Zimei’s letter back then, a hint of coldness appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes as he looked in the direction of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.

He saw the reason.

Li Zimei cultivated a special cultivation art which caused an issue in her soul.

It was continuously invaded by fiendish aura and was riddled with holes.

This invasion clearly lasted for more than a day.

This might be the comprehension ritual Li Zimei had mentioned back then.

Under this invasion, the pain it brought to Li Zimei distorted her personality

and affected her state of mind.

This caused her to slowly be enveloped by the madness and killing intent born from this pain over the years.

If in the end, Li Zimei’s soul was completely torn apart and no longer existed, then perhaps the ritual would be successful.

What would return was no longer Li Zimei but a monster with extreme killing intent.

However, evidently, there was an accident during this period which led to Li Zimei escaping, thereby creating entanglements with the Grand Affairs

Immortal Sect.

“This should be the succumbing to demonic influences told by the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect in the secret document of the Sword Holder.”

The coldness in Xu Qing’s eyes intensified.

He could already tell that the so-called fiendish aura was actually a soul!

An ancient and cruel soul.

The so-called invasion was actually some kind of modification and possession.

It would transform Li Zimei into a suitable embryo and let this ancient soul perfectly occupy her body.

This was also the reason why Li Zimei was enveloped by the large tree in the center of the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region… This was because this modified embryo was also very suitable for the master of the Spirit Sound Forbidden

Region.

“Parasitize this suitable body and leave the forbidden region…”

Xu Qing mumbled inwardly.

As for whether this was a coincidence or not… Xu Qing didn’t bother with it. He would naturally be able to make the Yinghuang Province’s Sword Holding Ministry investigate it in the future.

As for Qing Qiu, she was also among the trees.

She was completely surrounded. The blood light emitted by her body became the parasitic nutrients for the master of the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region.

This was the rule of cultivation for all things.

The strong preyed on the weak.

It was the same for Transient Evil, the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, and the

master of this forbidden region.

The weak would suffer similar experiences in different fates.

Xu Qing remained silent.

With his current strength, he couldn’t change the rules of cultivation for all things. However, he could stop it and not let such a thing happen to someone he was familiar with.

Hence, Xu Qing walked into the depths of the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region.

With every step he took, this forbidden region would tremble. The anomalous substances here could invade all things but they couldn’t do anything to Xu

Qing.

This was because at this moment, Xu Qing’s body also emitted the aura of a god, forming anomalous substances that belonged to him that rapidly spread in all directions.

The two different types of anomalous substances collided with each other in an invisible manner, causing the entire forbidden region to tremble intensely. Countless trees swayed and mountains rumbled.

The sound became even louder.

The moment these sounds rang out, they were immediately controlled by Xu Qing. They became his divine consciousness and weapons. They rose from all the areas in the forbidden region and headed toward the large tree in the center.

It was as though a storm had appeared.

The sound wave that should have been invisible took form at this instant and approached the large tree in the center like an avalanche. It was about to sweep through.

However, at this moment, Li Zimei suddenly raised her head. Her expression was distorted as she opened her mouth and let out an extremely sharp heart­rending cry.

This sound was extremely sharp and seemed to be able to pierce through everything.

The world rumbled and the surroundings swayed.

The sounds in the forbidden region that were controlled by Xu Qing actually showed signs of leaving.

This was the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region. To a certain extent, the name Spirit Sound also represented the ability of the master of the forbidden region. Although it was far from the level of a god, as the master of the forbidden region, with the advantage of his identity, his counterattack was still swift and fierce.

At that moment, a sharp sound spread through the world, shaking Xu Qing s control. After that, it charged toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was as calm as ever. He raised his right hand and grabbed at the air in front of him. After that, he clenched his hand into a fist.

It was as though he had crushed the void and swept away everything.

In an instant, the sound authority was shaken like a majestic mountain. Even the heavenly wind couldn’t shake it at all.

Not only that, but even the killing intent formed by the sharp voice from Li Zimei’s mouth was broken by Xu Qing at this moment.

He snatched the sound.

The world fell silent!

Xu Qing stretched out his palm and waved it toward the forbidden region.

At the next instant, the power of sound was completely released.

Countless sounds broke the short silence, like the rising sun tearing through the night. They erupted completely in the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region.

The sound of flowing water shattered the invaded river channel, the sound of leaves collapsing on their own, the roars of mutated beasts, and the sounds of everything in this forbidden region transformed into a killing force.

Booming sounds filled the sky.

Countless trees collapsed and exploded. One by one, the mutated beasts died heart-rendingly.

From the sky, one could see the might of destruction rising from the edge of this forbidden region. It spread ferociously like a huge palm, enveloping the whole forbidden region.

At that moment, it charged toward the central tree with an unstoppable aura.

Direct contact!

The large tree in the center trembled and couldn’t withstand it. It shattered into pieces!

Amidst the sawdust Zimei and Qing Qiu’s figures appeared. However, they didn’t fall with the collapse of the huge tree. Instead, they strangely floated in the air.

There seemed to be a mysterious force controlling them.

Behind the two women, a three-foot-tall puppet staggered out of the dust fog.

This puppet’s entire body was tattered and there was a decayed flute hanging on its neck.

Its one eye was gone, while the other eye was wide open, expressing confusion. However, there were dense divinity fluctuations rising from its body.

The moment it appeared, this dilapidated forbidden region seemed to have regained its vitality. The remaining mutated beasts and bizarre entities worshiped in the direction of the puppet.

However, the puppet’s attention wasn’t on the forbidden region. Right now, it was all focused on Xu Qing. Waves appeared in the chaos and turbidity in its eye, as though it was trying very hard to force itself to have a trace of intelligence. It let out a low roar.

“Go away!”

Xu Qing ignored it and continued walking over.

Seeing this, the chaos and madness in the puppet’s eye rose again. After that, Li Zimei, who was controlled by it, suddenly moved and headed straight for Xu Qing.

An intense killing intent erupted from Li Zimei’s body, causing the weather to change and a cold wind to rise in all directions. Wherever she passed, it would affect understanding and distort one’s vision.

That was the Slaughter Domain.

Qing Qiu also immediately opened her eyes. She was confused, as though she had just woken up from a deep sleep.

After that, a blood-red light erupted from her body, dyeing the surroundings red.

A bizarre laughter rang out from Qing Qiu’s mouth.

“Hehehe.”

The moment this laughter rang out, Qing Qiu’s eyes were still blank as she looked at Xu Qing.

“You… are very familiar…”

As she spoke, strands of blood from the dead mutated beasts in the forbidden region rapidly gathered from all directions.

Xu Qing stared at Qing Qiu.

He knew that the strangeness that appeared on Li Zimei and Qing Qiu was called the domain.

Li Zimei’s domain focused on killing.

As for Qing Qiu, she had the Grand Affairs’ Blood Domain!

Back then, Eldest Senior Brother had said that this was a taboo secret art of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. Even if cultivators were only at the slight proficiency stage, it would still be extremely powerful.

It was said that those who successfully comprehended this Blood Domain would have more than two personalities!

“For every additional personality, the world in their eyes will lack a color. After eleven personalities, there will only be blood-red color left which is the mastery stage!”

However, so far, in the history of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, no one had successfully possessed eleven personalities in the end. All of them had died from madness during this process.

“Domain was the direction of the Sword Holding Palace’s research during the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether’s era. Its goal was to find a power that could make gods bow Their heads… but in the end, it failed.”

Xu Qing recalled what the heir had said when he taught him cultivation in the Moon Offering Region.

While pondering, Xu Qing didn’t stop in his tracks when he faced Li Zimei and Qing Qiu who were rushing over. However, his right eye shone with origin power and a Dao mark appeared!

As soon as this mark appeared, the world trembled.

That was the erase authority!

With this authority, Xu Qing looked at Li Zimei and Qing Qiu again and immediately saw countless threads connecting to the puppet on the two women.

If he saw it, he could erase it.

Xu Qing’s right eyelid drooped and the action of closing it was like cutting.

At the next instant, Li Zimei and Qing Qiu stopped in their tracks and their bodies trembled.

The threads on their bodies that couldn’t be seen with ordinary methods were all broken the instant Xu Qing closed his eyes!

The instant the threads were erased, the two women opened their eyes and closed them at the same time. Their bodies then landed on the ground motionlessly.

The domain realms they emitted also rapidly dissipated.

A wail that was even more mournful than before rang out intensely from the mouth of the puppet whose threads had been erased. At this moment, its body suddenly flew up amidst anger and resentment, heading straight for Xu Qing.

Its heart-rending sound transformed into a translucent sonic spear that stabbed fiercely at Xu Qing’s heart!

Xu Qing didn’t dodge and allowed the sound spear to land.

The moment the spear came into contact with his body, it was as though it had collided with an indestructible mountain. The sound spear disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, it was completely destroyed.

There was also a counter shock that affected the puppet, causing the Lord of Spirit Sound’s body to instantly step back and several cracks to appear on its body.

The instinctive fear of death suppressed the chaos of its intelligence at this moment. It was about to speed up its retreat and leave this place.

However, it was too late.

Xu Qing took a step forward. The great sun gathered in the sea of consciousness in his body, and when it was revealed, the light on his entire body instantly became resplendent, emitting countless light and heat. His body then transformed into a vast sun.

It rose from the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region!

At that moment, dusk passed and night fell. However, in an instant, the night reversed and the sky lit up again!

The pitch-black forbidden region was also penetrated by the light. The river water that was filled with anomalous substances also showed clarity.

Everything seemed to have been purified!
