Chapter 1482: Chapter 1457: Doomed by One’s Own Evil Deeds!
“Did you ever ask me?”
Fang Qingzhu’s voice suddenly echoed across the Southern Continent’s sky.
Only to see surging energies converge into a massive energy shockwave, this shockwave was jet-black all over, resembling a fierce black dragon.
Its massive dragon body twisted, stretching between heaven and earth.
Wherever it passed…
The blood-red moonlight was forcibly obscured.
It couldn’t penetrate even a tiny bit.
And without the cover of the blood-red moonlight, the creatures of the Southern Continent gradually regained their senses.
They looked at the corpses scattered around them, watched as they aged and decayed, and saw the surrounding flora wither away. The infant they held in their arms just moments ago, now aged like a little old man…
Each of them was bewildered.
Terrified.
Afraid…
“What on earth is going on?”
“Why is this happening? What’s happened to us?”
“Dead people, dead people everywhere…”
“What’s happened here…”
All their faces showed confusion.
At this moment.
Fang Qingzhu’s voice reverberated once more between heaven and earth: “Tongtian, to avoid the Southern Continent from being ravaged, I was unwilling to battle you. Therefore, I handed the Azure Sky Alliance and the Southern Continent over to you, and you claimed you would protect the creatures of the Southern Continent. Is this how you protect them? You sided with the Sun and Moon Palace to build the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar in the Southern Continent, treating all living things here as sacrifices. How could you bear it?”
“What?”
“This… are we like this all because of Tongtian?”
“Damn it, I… I actually supported Tongtian before, thinking he truly wanted to turn the entire Southern Continent into an earthly paradise, thinking the Azure Sky Alliance was too selfish. Who could have thought it was like this?”
“Tongtian, give me back my family…”
“You shall die a horrible death…”
“Why? Why did I support Tongtian? When the Azure Sky Alliance wanted to take us away, why didn’t I leave?”
For a time,
The Southern Continent was filled with mourning and wailing.
Voices of resentment resounded.
Tongtian’s expression changed slightly; he didn’t expect Fang Qingzhu to appear at this time, nor did he expect Fang Qingzhu to make this matter public. Like this, his reputation would be completely ruined.
Tongtian’s angry roar also echoed between heaven and earth: “Fang Qingzhu, stop spreading lies. All this was done by your Azure Sky Alliance. You intend to frame me, but what does this have to do with me?”
However…
Before Fang Qingzhu could speak.
Red Sun Palace Master impatiently scoffed, “Tongtian, why bother talking to them? They are nothing but Southern Continent creatures; what harm in sacrificing them? Being able to give their lives for me and Master Mingyue is their honor. Get rid of these annoying ants and let the sacrifice continue?”
“Master Mingyue? Our death is supposed to be our honor?”
“This… these indeed are people from the Sun and Moon Palace, Tongtian truly conspired with them!”
“Tongtian, you are indeed inhuman…”
“I’ll never let you go, even in death…”
The resentment against Tongtian surged to its peak.
They naturally hated Master Mingyue too.
But…
The Sun and Moon Palace was originally their enemy, while Tongtian had recently proclaimed to protect them, only to sell them out now.
Almost nine-ninths of the resentment fell on him.
Up in the sky.
Suddenly, the winds changed, dark clouds loomed.
A terrifying oppressive aura enveloped this part of the world, and at its center was Tongtian.
Dark energy subtly surrounded him.
This was public resentment.
This was resentment.
This was negative energy enough to trouble even a Saint King!
“What… what’s happening?” Tongtian was indescribably terrified, wildly trying to swat away the dark energy, but it wouldn’t disperse, only growing steadily.
As the dark energy covered him, Tongtian felt his control over the forces of the world becoming increasingly difficult.
As if even the heavens were angry with him.
Boom!
A black lightning bolt struck Tongtian directly; its power wasn’t vast, only causing his hair to burn black. But in the next moment, Tongtian’s face revealed terror: “What is happening? Why is my cultivation regressing?”
Just that single black lightning had made his Great Tao Comprehension regress by a thousand steps!
Direct regression from Marquess to Prince rank.
Fang Tianchi sneered: “Idiot, you fell for Master Mingyue’s great scheme. The reason they had you set up this Sinister Sacrificial Altar was to have you bear the resentment of ten thousand spirits for them…”
“This is the resentment of all living beings in the Southern Continent, even a Saint King can’t bear it!”
“Tongtian, heaven sees your deeds, today is the day of your death!”
“No, impossible, this can’t be…”
Tongtian was bewildered, looking to Red Sun Palace Master and Master Mingyue, both of whom promised him assistance to reach the Saint King Realm and a place in the Longevity Realm, to become a noble Longevity Realm being.
He was on the brink of boundless prospects, his lifespan parallel to the heavens.
But now…
Fang Tianchi and the others were telling him he was deceived?
From start to finish, he was nothing but a pitiful tool?
Just a scapegoat for the Master Mingyue to discard?
How could he accept this?
However…
Faced with Tongtian’s inquiry, Red Sun Palace Master just smiled coldly: “Idiot, besides this bit of usefulness, do you have anything else worthy of our attention? Did you really think I’d waste a large amount of resources to elevate you to a Saint King?”
“Overestimated yourself…”
Master Mingyue abandoned his previous amicability, speaking coldly, “Tongtian, to stand against resentment for us, to bear disasters for us, this is the great fortune of your ancestral tomb…”
“Fortune my ass…”
Just as Tongtian opened his mouth, another bolt of lightning descended.
This black lightning struck him.
Instantly his skin was ripped apart, cultivation plummeting directly from Prince rank to a thousand steps along the Great Dao.
Thunder roared across the sky.
A few more strikes, and he would be a cripple.
Tongtian quickly turned to Fang Qingzhu, shouting: “Fang Qingzhu… no, Madam Xiao, Alliance Hierarch’s wife… I am willing to atone for my sins, I am willing to rejoin the Azure Sky Alliance, save me, you must save me…”
“Heaven’s sins can be forgiven. Self-made sins, living is unworthy!”
Fang Qingzhu’s expression was cold, watching as Tongtian was again struck by the black lightning, his cultivation falling to the Heaven Venerate Realm, his body now just a pile of bones, “Tongtian, use your pathetic life to accompany the innocent dead souls of the Southern Continent to rest!”
“No…”
Tongtian cried out in despair.
But at that moment…
Another even larger black lightning bolt descended with a crash, enveloping him completely.
When the black lightning dissipated.
Tongtian had been completely reduced to ashes, leaving no trace behind!
Rolling clouds gradually dispersed in the sky.
Yet the blood-red moonlight remained obscured by the energy upheld by Fang Qingzhu and others.
Under the blood moon.
Fang Qingzhu, leading the Azure Sky Alliance, faced the Sun and Moon Palace masters for the first time…
