Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

The crimson pool of blood did not return to calm after the jade pendant fell.

Instead, it was as if an invisible bomb had been dropped on them, causing them to suddenly boil over!

Gulu...Gulu...

Countless blood-red bubbles surged upwards, and the moment they burst, they released not heat, but extreme cold and resentment.

In the center of the pool, a whirlpool rapidly formed, frantically churning the thick, paste-like liquid.

A figure was being forcibly pieced together and reshaped by an invisible force at the very center of this vortex.

Bones, muscles, meridians, skin...

This "resurrection" was faster than any of the previous times under the power of the jade pendant, but it was also more brutal and painful.

It didn't seem like the regeneration of life; it was more like a broken work of art, forcibly glued back together by a mad craftsman using the most barbaric methods.

"Ho...Hoaaaaah—!"

A roar that sounded inhuman suddenly burst from the throat of that newly formed body!

Shen Qingzhu's naked body suddenly rose from the pool of blood.

Her long black hair danced wildly in the raging air currents, revealing a face twisted to the extreme.

His eyes were completely filled with eerie, scarlet insect-eye patterns, devoid of any human clarity.

"Snap—! Snap—!"

Amidst the tooth-grinding cracking sound of bones breaking, two more gruesome gashes tore open on his back, and another pair of jet-black wings burst forth from his body!

Together with the previous pair, there were now four pieces of fallen wings, riddled with holes and with jagged skeletons.

It slowly unfolded behind him, with the tip of each feather dripping with the essence of hell's origin.

"Give up... You are me, and I am you..."

That ancient and alluring will, like a persistent ailment, murmured deep within his soul.

"Everything you protected has long since departed. Accept this supreme authority, and you will become the new ruler of Hell!"

"Get out...get out of my way!!"

Shen Qingzhu's consciousness was frantically struggling on the verge of collapse.

He used all his willpower to fight against the terrifying force that almost completely assimilated him.

His fingernails dug deeply into his palms, trying to awaken himself with the pain.

But this time, the physical pain seemed so insignificant under the corrosive influence of the source of hell.

He felt like a small boat about to be swallowed by raging waves, his soul being gnawed away and replaced little by little.

The madman's roar echoed through this deathly silent hell, filled with despair, yet also carrying a hint of unyielding stubbornness.

Above the sea of ​​clouds in the Heavenly Court, outside the medicine hut next to the Lingxiao Palace.

Baili Pangpang, bowing and beaming, saw off the celestial official who had come to collect the medicine.

As soon as he turned around, the mercenary smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an unyielding solemnity.

He had just prepared a new round of medicine for Cao Yuan, and the guy was recovering well; his spirit had become much more stable.

But Qi Ye and the others were still nowhere to be found.

He looked up into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, where the Heavenly Court's Observatory, which oversees the flow of fortune across the three realms, was located.

These days, he goes there almost whenever he has free time, even more often than he goes to his own master's place.

"Cao Yuan's injuries appear to be minor."

A detached yet authoritative voice rang out behind him without warning.

Baili Pangpang was startled and turned around abruptly, only to see a man dressed in a simple Taoist robe.

An old man, whose aura seemed to blend into the entire world, stood quietly behind him.

He is one of the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Heavens, Heavenly Venerable!" Baili Pangpang hurriedly bowed, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"What brings you here? Is...is there some trouble with Cao Yuan again?"

The gaze of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was as still as a deep well, as if it could see through people's hearts. "What you care about is not him."

Baili Pangpang's heart sank suddenly.

"You went to the Imperial Observatory three times a day to investigate not Lin Qiye's destiny star,"

"It is another star that is faintly visible in the Netherworld and is on the verge of extinction."

The Celestial Lord of the Beginning spoke without the slightest emotion, yet it struck Baili Pangpang's heart like a heavy hammer blow.

"Although the Lingbao Dao Jade can reverse life and death, it cannot save a heart that is willing to sink into depravity."

External tribulations are easy to overcome, but inner demons are hard to guard against.

The color drained from Baili Pangpang's face instantly, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

The Heavenly Venerable knows everything.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable gave him a deep look, a gaze that seemed to transcend time and space.

They saw the figure roaring madly in the pool of hellish blood.

He sighed softly, and his figure began to become ethereal.

"Go back and tell your master," he said, his voice ethereal yet carrying immense weight.

"The Heavenly Court cannot be without the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Celestial Venerable's figure vanished completely, as if he had never existed.

Baili Pangpang froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

The Heavenly Court cannot be without... Lingbao Tianzun?

Shen Qingzhu is the next Lingbao Heavenly Venerable?!

But now... he's now...

An unprecedented chill shot from the soles of Baili Pangpang's feet straight to the top of his head.

He suddenly looked up at the ever-changing sky and felt that a storm powerful enough to overturn the three realms was quietly brewing.

At the same moment, in the human realm.

Thousands of miles away, above the azure ocean, the light of day is fading at a visible speed.

The dark clouds that gathered without warning blackened the sky like spilled ink, dragging the entire sea into a deathly darkness.

Razer danced wildly in the clouds, brewing a world-destroying power.

Immediately afterwards, large raindrops joined together, turning into a torrential downpour that pounded hard against the sea.

The wind began to howl.
