Chapter 782: Chapter 18: Spread, Curse Killing (10,000+ Subscribe!)_6
Qing Sheng narrowly avoided another sweep of the sword light.
Five Internal Gods. Hao Hua made a move, displaying the swordâs unstoppable sharpness; its flashing light was like the glow of stars, capable of easily slicing through any impediment.
Qing Shengâs body, harder than the stars, was easily cut like paper.
Swish!
With his extensive combat experience, Qing Sheng quickly reacted, yet his arm still broke and bled unceasingly.
âWhen did it happen?â
He had not sensed the arrival of the sword light at all.
Feeling the domainâs suppression, he looked at Wang Sheng with an idea of retreat forming in his mind.
âThis man has too many tricks and is exceedingly deceitful. I have just revived and am not in my prime state; itâs better to avoid his edge for now.â
Having made up his mind without any hesitation, he used a Secret Technique, disregarding the injuries on his body, and burst through the domain formed by storms and the Five Elements Sword Formation in an instant.
Naturally, Wang Sheng would not agree, as he was not about to let the tiger return to the mountain.
But at that moment, Qing Sheng suddenly used a Secret Technique.
Whoosh!
He left everything behind, escaping with only his skull, moving so fast that Wang Sheng was unable to react.
Clearly, as a being capable of resurrection, he had numerous life-saving techniques.
âWeâll meet again if destiny wills it; I donât believe you can watch me all the time,â he threatened in his final words.
Wang Sheng watched the skull in the void that had returned to its original form, a body comparable to the stars, and fell silent.
He had never seen a way of escape like this before.
Like a gecko shedding its tail, this person was even more extreme, allowing only his head to escape.
And the body he left behind was not an empty shell, but contained a significant amount of his essence.
A great cost!
âItâs my first time seeing someone using desperation not to turn the tables, but to flee.â
Chasing him now would be futile; the Secret Technique was very fast, directly tearing through the space, his destination unknown.
âButââ
âIâm far from out of optionsâŠâ
âI hadnât expected the Curse Technique to work in this situation, leaving behind his body as if he feared my curse would failâŠâ
Wang Sheng manipulated his body, generating flames from his Qi Core, and soon, Qing Shengâs left body was burned to ashes, leaving only a few drops of essence blood.
He could now use these through a karmic curse to obtain some of his enemyâs properties, enhancing the effect of this karmic curse.
Essence blood could not be more appropriate.
âLetâs begin with the decaying of the skullâŠâ
At this moment, Qing Sheng had entered a mysterious starry space, his escape technique primarily random in destination and also capable of erasing his presence; even he did not know where he had fled to, and his enemies were even less aware.
âI donât even know where this is. Didnât they say the Newborn Land would not have powerful cultivators? How come I just revived and immediately encountered such a powerful cultivatorâŠâ
He had been utterly suppressed throughout the earlier encounter.
A slight delay in reaction, and he might have already died.
âI fear that even in my prime, I might not be his match.â
The more he contemplated, the more he felt unlucky, but soon he recovered his spirit.
âThough my start was unlucky, now that Iâve escaped to the Newborn Land, not all beings here are so strong, and other worlds are mine for the taking; merely by consuming some worlds, this injury will heal quickly, perhaps even advancing further without interference from the âConquest SectââŠâ
Saying this, he chose a direction and advanced.
But he hadnât walked far before he sensed a danger.
âThereâs danger, but why canât I detect its direction?â
Not even Ten Realms could be located, and with Wang Shengâs Curse Technique breaking through, even the Eleventh Realm could not be found.
Wang Sheng watched as Qing Shengâs skull began to decayâŠ
âDecay, how can it decay? Even after thousands of years, I shouldnât decay, how can it be? What fallback did that person leave?â
He tried to activate his power to stop it
But what followed was a curse, causing mental disorder.
Mental disorder disrupted Qing Shengâs energy, causing an energy-time chaos; the chaotic energy stirred up the surrounding star space, and most tragically, his own being.
Energy out of control led his skull to decay even more thoroughly, chunks of fetid flesh fell and disappeared at a visible rate.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng intensified his efforts, seizing the essence blood.
âQi-Blood degeneration!â
Wang Sheng used the essence blood for the curse, and it took effect almost instantly.
Decay, mental disorder, energy-time chaos, Qi-Blood degeneration struck all at once, his condition plummeted to the lowest depths, his breath became weak.
Just as he was dreaming about the future, he suddenly fell into a moribund state.
If his condition had been intact, the curse might have taken some time to take effect, but since Qing Sheng fled by discarding his body, leaving only his skull, which seemed alright, to Wang Sheng who cultivates the formless, the weaknesses were too glaring, and any curse could take effect.
His weak breath was no illusion.
He was truly about to die!
Perhaps it was because he was nearing death that Qing Sheng momentarily regained clarity.
âHaving barely escaped the old land, am I ultimately still facing death? People from the old land, they really arenât favored, are they!â
He thought of his life, inadvertently uncovering a great secret, doing everything possible to escape and reviving through strenuous efforts, yet still facing death, without even discovering the reason, feeling utterly hopeless.
His emotion was momentary, despair made him give up⊠and his life left him.
The Ten Realms strong cultivator, Qing Sheng, died from a curse killing!
And through causality and Fate Skill, Wang Sheng âheardâ Qing Shengâs last words.
âReally from the old land, huh? Still managed to escapeâŠâ
It wasnât a surprise to Wang Sheng that Qing Sheng was from the old land.
But evidently, the old land was no good place.
Feeling the vanished causality, he felt more convinced that his research on curse killings and Fate Skill was correct.
âI need to prepare even more, at least to have Qingshan Holy Land swiftly possess the capability to defend against the Twelfth RealmâŠâ
