Chapter 1146 Shen Qingzhu’s Choice
On the other side.
Anqingyu carried the black coffin on his back, his gaze sweeping over the two four-winged angels and three four-winged demons before him, his expression extremely grim.
Dense vengeful spirits and demons surrounded him in the air like a tide, sharp and eerie laughter continuously echoing. He was like prey trapped in a cage, and within that cage were also five fierce tigers.
A white shadow flew rapidly from the distance, crashing into one of the black-winged demons, suddenly twisting its body, the pitch-black wings seemingly transforming into blade edges, slashing toward the neck of the angel beside it.
That angel reacted extremely quickly, shifting its form to avoid the attack, but this momentary distraction created a tiny gap in the encirclement.
Anqingyu’s eyes narrowed, seizing the opportunity to dart out, but the other two demons flapped their four wings and blocked his path at almost teleportation-like speed.
As Jiang Er was about to repeat her tactic, a dazzling pure white light pillar fell from the sky, precisely illuminating her head!
Jiang Er in her magnetic field form had avoided several demon attacks as if they were nothing, but was now confined in midair by this light pillar. She was like a fish trapped in a fish tank, unable to leave the light pillar no matter which direction she drifted!
“Jiang Er!”
Anqingyu’s eyes contracted sharply as he looked up at the sky.
He saw one of the six-winged Seraphim pointing at the space above Jiang Er, that pure white light pillar being released from its fingertip.
Anqingyu, carrying the black coffin, rushed quickly toward the light pillar, but several four-winged demons instantly appeared before him, attacking simultaneously, leaving hideous wounds all over his body.
Anqingyu violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying backward.
After severely injuring Anqingyu, these four-winged demons hovered quietly in the air without continuing their attack. Then countless vengeful spirits and demons surged from all directions, piling on Anqingyu like mountains of flesh, completely suppressing him like a cage of flesh.
“Jiang… Er…”
Anqingyu stared fixedly at Jiang Er in the light pillar, his voice growing increasingly faint.
…
Boom—!
The explosion in the sky pulled Shen Qingzhu’s consciousness back to reality. He abruptly shifted his gaze from the Hell Origin, his back already soaked with sweat.
Following the direction of the sound, he looked up at the sky, witnessing Jiang Er trapped in the light pillar by the Seraphim, while Anqingyu was suppressed under mountains of horrifying flesh.
Several massive six-winged Seraphim and six-winged Fallen Angels overlooked this scene like deities. Their eyes were tightly closed, only the insect eyes on their foreheads slightly wriggling. One of the Fallen Angels raised its palm, gently pressing toward Jiang Er trapped in the light pillar, seemingly about to completely annihilate her.
“This is bad…”
At the edge of the blood pool, Lin Qiye, holding a knife and a sword, was being forced back step by step under the siege of four-winged demons.
He also saw this scene in the sky, but at this moment, he had already fought to the point of severe injury and near death, and his path was completely blocked by four-winged demons. Even if he wanted to save Jiang Er and Anqingyu, he was powerless to do so.
Shen Qingzhu’s fists clenched uncontrollably.
Fresh blood flowed from his body, the wound in his abdomen continuously draining his vitality, even his consciousness began to blur.
With one hand covering his wound, vaguely, as his consciousness gradually became chaotic, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
As if he had realized something, he once again fixed his gaze on the black crystal floating in the blood pool beside him.
“…The Divine System Origin is the foundation that carries the Divine Realm, and also the central hub controlling the Divine Realm…”
Lin Qiye’s words echoed in Shen Qingzhu’s mind again. He stared intently at the Hell Origin, the deepest desire in his heart, as if hooked by a demon, continuously driving him to walk step by step toward the Hell Origin.
This thing is the central hub of Hell. Destroying it would destroy the entire Divine Realm…
But what if he tried to control it?
Holding the central hub of the Divine Realm, would it mean he had the qualification to open the “door” to leave?
Shen Qingzhu resisted the temptation of the Hell Origin while trying to think in his heart. In the end, he could barely distinguish whether this thought was his own or induced by the Origin’s temptation.
He gazed at the Hell Origin, and vaguely, a voice echoed in his ear:
“Don’t you want them to survive?”
“Don’t you want power?”
“Don’t you want to stop being a burden?”
“…Touch me…become one with me…and you will gain everything you desire.”
“Accept me, and I…will fulfill all your wishes.”
Shen Qingzhu’s eyes gradually became hollow. He stepped on the ice, walking step by step to the front of the black crystal, like a wooden puppet being suspended, his movements extremely rigid.
As Shen Qingzhu approached, the black crystal floating in the blood pool actually flowed with shining black light on its surface. It kept vibrating in the blood pool, shaking away the red worms wriggling in the blood pool, as if eagerly wanting to leave this place.
Shen Qingzhu stopped.
The black light on the surface of the black crystal shone more brilliantly, like a crystal-clear black gem under the sun, a mysterious power surging into Shen Qingzhu’s spirit.
He stood before the black crystal with hollow eyes, slowly raising his right hand, reaching for that black crystal…
At this moment, Lin Qiye, who was in fierce battle far away, seemed to sense something, suddenly turning his head and shouting:
“Bro Zhuai!!”
The instant he heard Lin Qiye’s voice, Shen Qingzhu immediately awakened from his hollow state, the hand about to touch the black crystal suspended in the air.
Large beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, dripping down his pale cheeks onto the frozen surface of the blood pool.
“Bro Zhuai! Don’t touch it!” Lin Qiye shouted again,
“That’s the Origin containing the fallen power of the entire Hell! Even if it doesn’t reject you! Your physical body can’t withstand it!”
“Moreover, the evil thoughts contained within it are too strong! Even if you could withstand its power! It would gradually erode your thoughts! Making you its puppet!”
“It will turn you into a second Lucifer!!”
Lin Qiye’s consecutive shouts entered Shen Qingzhu’s ears. His eyes contracted slightly, and he instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand.
But in the next moment, his movement stopped again.
Shen Qingzhu stood before the black crystal, slightly turning his head, his complex eyes scanning the surroundings.
Lin Qiye was surrounded by several four-winged demons, his body already covered in bloody holes, on the verge of collapse. In the sky, Jiang Er trapped in the light pillar and Anqingyu suppressed under mountains of flesh were trying their utmost to get closer to each other. That six-winged Fallen Angel overlooking the human world was slowly lowering its palm…
He slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
“Bro Zhuai!!” Lin Qiye’s shout came again.
Shen Qingzhu opened his eyes, and this time, there was no longer any struggle in his eyes. Instead, there was unprecedented calmness.
“Sorry, Captain,” he slowly spoke, “Whether I collapse unable to withstand the power, or become a Fallen Angel… as long as it can save my brothers’ lives, it doesn’t matter.”
“Lin Qiye, listen carefully…”
“I, Shen Qingzhu, will not always be a burden.”
As the words fell, in the howling fierce wind, Shen Qingzhu actively reached out his hand…
And grasped that shining black crystal!
