Chapter 292: The Destroyer
Black Crane put away the Kun mirror in his arms, he thought that as long as the mirror was there, there would be a chance to turn the tables.
However, after a few days, seeing the Feather Crane Immortal again made him feel like two people. He had the impression that the Feathered Crane Immortal couldn't really stand up to anyone, and this was what disgusted him the most, that person always wore the aura of a saint, and spoke a bunch of high-sounding truths, like having a compassionate mind that could save everyone. But ironically, in the end, even he couldn't save himself.
He had always wanted to ask the Feather Crane Immortal: You once thought that by retrieving the rune with your own power and handing it over to the Celestial God Qiansu, you could calm a storm, not only make the Celestial God Qiansu forgive my sins, but also prevent me from throwing me into the Black Fire Purgatory, and resolve the conflict between him and his son Suzaku. As a result, he ended up seriously injured, fell into the demon world, and was abandoned by the gods, how did he feel?
But this time, the Yuhe Immortal did not have the weakness that he once had. He was radiant, his gaze resolute, and he no longer seemed to sway from anything. It was this unconventional strength that exuded from him that made him flee uncontrollably.
A few years ago, Qingyun finally understood the strange array that he had taken from Min Euntong's parents, and his first idea was to create a key that could open the Black Fire Purgatory, but many conditions could not be met at that time. So he gave up his first idea and instead used this method to create a door for him between the Black Fire Purgatory and the Soul Separation Realm.
When Qingyun's voice suddenly appeared in Kurotsuru's mind, he thought it was just his hallucination. After all, for a long time, the repeated torture of skin, internal organs, and even bones being burned inch by inch by magma every day has long made him no longer normal. The best way to forget his pain is to fill his brain with all kinds of hallucinations, in which he often talks to Suzaku and sometimes sees the Feathered Crane Immortal or the Celestial Goddess.
But the voice kept repeating, sending him into a state of soul detachment and searching for a door in the Black Fire Purgatory. He simply followed the guidance of the voice, and found a bronze door engraved with an array of diagrams. Pushing open the door, there was a twisted tunnel, and he walked quickly towards the end of the tunnel, elated, thinking that this was another wonderful world he had imagined, but Qingyun's voice was not interrupted.
"Through the tunnel, you will enter the dense forest in the Soul Separation Realm, and somewhere in the dense forest there should be a mirror buried, it is called Kun Realm! This mirror has an extraordinary attraction for the spiritually powerful, so use your spiritual power to find it, it will awaken the souls of a group of mandarin duck bird demons as your subordinates, but they are far from enough, kill the creatures in the dense forest, and use the spells and Kun realm I taught you to turn them into your subordinates. The voice then uttered a complex spell.
Although the black crane was completely puzzled, the spell had been automatically imprinted in his mind, and he dared to try to talk to the voice in his head and ask, "Who are you?!" Why should I listen to you?! ”
"Like you, I'm an Avenger, and now I want to be a Destroyer! If you want to join me in destroying the Three Realms, do what I say! ”
"Destroy the Three Realms?"
For the Black Crane, this goal is simply too appealing, even if it's just an illusion, so what? As long as he didn't have to endure the torture in the Black Fire Purgatory, he just thought it was to complete a game.
"Yes, destroy the Three Realms! That mirror might even allow you to meet me! ”
"Good, good!" The black crane suddenly became excited, and the words spoken by the voice were so seductive.
After passing through the tunnel, he entered the place called the Soul Separation Realm as the voice said, and the dense forest was quiet and peaceful, no less than the Divine Domain. Suddenly, he could spread his wings and fly again, looking for the location of the Kun Mirror in the boundless green.
Everything went according to what the voice said, and Kun no Mirror soon sensed his presence and began to summon him. He dug the silver mirror out of the soil and just wiped the dust off it when he threw it to the ground.
There was a terrible face in the mirror, which he felt could never be his own, and he paced around with his head shaken, hesitating whether to stay away from it, but then he picked it up again. Looking closely, in addition to the purple pupils that were still the same as before, his face could not even be described as full of holes, and the magma was tumbling in the cracked cracks, which made him not only suspect that his soul might have become the same as magma, but he had to admit that he had become a monster through and through.
As soon as his hand touched the mirror, he felt the power from it, and the power was the same as his, black, and the combination of them couldn't have been more suitable. Following the guidance of that power, he soon resurrected the souls of the mandarin duck bird demons, but the mandarin duck bird demons who were resurrected by this dark power no longer had the form of birds, and their appearance was somewhat like white bats.
After that, he used the spell given to him by Qingyun to summon a lot of changing bats, and every time the mirror was used to do evil, it became a little more powerful. Soon, he was able to create a special space with it and the door he had escaped from the Black Fire Purgatory.
It was in this space that he saw Qingyun for the first time, and was completely convinced that the Soul Separation Realm was not his hallucination.
When Qingyun took off the Qinghu mask on his face and revealed his cheeks, the black crane couldn't suppress the trembling of his body and fell to his knees. Every minute of the Black Fire Purgatory had become incomparably long due to pain, and the millennium felt almost endless, but after this infinitely extended millennium, he saw Suzaku-sama's face again.
In addition to his face, he has also become a completely different monster from before, and has a new name, Qingyun. Each time they meet in this space is very brief, and not every attempt is successful.
The plan to use the body of the Extraordinary Dao to invade the Infinite Heavenly Realm and control it step by step was exactly what Qingyun came up with. After that, he disguised himself well in the Xuan Miao Palace, and continued to study how to use the Kun Mirror to obtain a way to open the door to the true spirit world.
After Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xueye teamed up to drive him out of the Extraordinary Dao body, he returned to the White Bat Base Camp in the Soul Separation Realm, and the first thing he did was to find a way to meet Qingyun again, and thankfully, the first attempt was successful.
The space where he and Qingyun were able to meet was similar to the stone cell where he had been imprisoned. There were no windows on all sides, and there was only a small dim lamp in the cold, damp space, which he sometimes felt was perfect for the two of them who had become monsters.
The black crane was wearing his heavy feather cloak, which covered his entire body, including his face, and even now, he was still afraid that Qingyun would see him.
Qingyun, on the other hand, is the opposite of him, as long as he faces the black crane, he will take off the green tiger mask on his face. Even Qingyun himself couldn't tell, although his body had long since become ugly, he was still able to maintain Suzaku's face. In Kurotsuru's opinion, his face was a little dazzlingly beautiful compared to his own.
"The body of the Extraordinary Dao has been taken back, and the battle in the Infinite Heavenly Realm has been completely lost." The black crane said angrily.
"Stupid! I warned you a long time ago to be careful of the human girl who appeared in the Immeasurable Heavenly Realm. Qingyun replied expressionlessly, then stretched out the huge tiger claw hidden in his sleeve and clenched it.
"I can't go back to the Infinite Heavens, what should I do now? Sit back and wait in the White Bat base camp?! Or...... How about attacking Jinghua Village? From the torture of the captured villagers of Jinghua Village, I got some very useful information. Kuroksuru said with some smugness.
"Huh." Qingyun sneered twice and asked with a hint of contempt, "What is it?" ”
"Chlorite! With it, the spiritual power can be multiplied, although this kind of spar is in the realm of soul separation, but it is not easy to find, but it is said that Elder Wan in Mirror Flower Village has collected a lot of this stone over the years, and it is precisely by using green crystal that he can create an enchantment that makes it impossible for me and the white bat to enter Mirror Flower Village. ”
"I advise you to act like a thief if you want to be a thief, you have just suffered a crushing defeat in the Infinite Heavenly Realm, and you must not rush into attack, even if you want those green crystals, you must act as covertly as possible. You have to be especially careful of that human girl, my plan has been ruined several times before, thanks to a magical power in her! ”
Qingyun heard that the black crane had become a little carried away because he had learned the secret of the green crystal, and immediately poured cold water on him.
"Oh?! Just that little girl?! ”
Although Hei Crane also knew Xia Qiu's combat effectiveness, it was nothing more, and he didn't believe that she could still play any new tricks.
"It is her presence that makes the Demon King Fox Boy's companions more and more...... In short, I have a hunch that those dead people in the Infinite Heavenly Realm will probably help Mirror Flower Village, so ......"
"What?! What did you say?! Immeasurable Celestial Realm ?!! ”
The black crane wanted to continue to ask, but Qingyun's voice was already indistinct, and soon the space formed by the Earth Kun Realm began to distort and gradually disappear.
It took a lot of his spiritual energy to create this space, and he fell into his chair, gasping for breath. I thought: In the thousands of years in the demon world, when did Qingyun become so timid? Just for a human girl? He can't take that little girl too seriously, right?!
At this time, the black crane, who was busy escaping from Xia Qiu and the Feathered Crane Immortals, had an epiphany about how accurate Qingyun's premonition was. He admitted that he was a little angry, after losing the battle of the Infinite Heaven Realm, in order to make Qingyun look at him with a new impression, and also for himself to be somewhat jealous that there would be others who would make Qingyun bother so much.
He understands that Qingyun now is no longer the Suzaku-sama who obeyed his words in the past, because he no longer has the beauty that can charm anyone, but the relationship between them and using each other continues, and it has never stopped. He knew better that the reason why Qingyun tried his best, even if he couldn't completely free him from the Black Fire Purgatory, still wanted to let his soul enter the soul separation realm, not because he still had an unforgettable old love for him. He saved him only because he had the same hatred for the entire Three Realms as he did, and because of this hatred, they became the only people in the world who would not betray each other.
