The horned-tribe prodigy sneered and spoke, "Do you also want to know the reason?" "Because the ancestor of all demons comes from your Human Race!" "It is your Human Race that created the demons!" These words were like a thunderclap, causing every cultivator on the continent to be greatly shaken. Demons... were actually created by the Human Race? "Homes destroyed, bloodlines severed, entire tribes wiped out!" The eight-armed being’s furious gaze swept over everyone on the continent, "Such deep-seated hatred, can you wash it away?" A grand, fiery voice echoed across the sky above the continent. Everyone was at a loss for words, not knowing how to defend themselves. Even Su Changqing sighed in his heart at this moment. If what these Outer Domain beings said was true, then the Human Race... are indeed sinners among the Ten Thousand Races. Homes destroyed, kinsfolk annihilated, left to wander in destitution and solitude... Such deep hatred and blood feuds, even he wouldn’t be able to remain calm. The Human Race... owes a debt to the Ten Thousand Races, a fact hard to dispute. At this point, Zhao Shanke stepped forward and spoke coldly, "Do a few ignorant brats think they can pin this grave accusation on the Human Race?" "You say demons originate from the Human Race, and thus it must be?" "If you have the ability, present the evidence!" The horned-tribe prodigy, the eight-armed being, and a multitude of prodigies behind them all laughed angrily at his words. Endless years have passed, even the heavens of races were destroyed, and now... you ask us for evidence? The tri-eyed Divine Race spoke calmly, "The moment of destiny has arrived." "The Demon God and your Azure Flame Realm’s Heavenly Dao have made a pact." "The mandate of this era does not belong exclusively to the Human Race!" "All beings of the Ten Thousand Races, even the dark demons, can vie for it!" Saying this, he cast a mocking glance at the continent’s cultivators, "Though the realms of the Ten Thousand Races are destroyed, the remnants of these races are secretly gathering strength!" "We have waited through endless ages, and finally, the opportunity has come!" "The Human Race is strong, but let’s see if you can withstand the fury of the Ten Thousand Races!" Cultivators of the continent, endless prodigies, all found their hearts shaken at this moment. They finally understood why, in previous paths to empire, Outer Domain beings never appeared. It turns out, this era’s destiny is not solely for the Human Race! First, homes were destroyed, and now, the temptation of destiny follows closely. This era’s path to empire will be hellishly difficult for the Human Race! They must not only face the terrifying demons but also the Ten Thousand Races that have been accumulating power for countless ages. At this moment, even the most confident prodigies couldn’t help but feel anxious. This era’s Great Emperor... Will it really still be the Human Race? "Words are of no use." The prodigy from the Divine Eye Race calmly surveyed the continent’s cultivators, "We cannot easily tread into your Azure Flame Realm, as we are bound by its rules." "But do not vainly hope that you can easily pass through the path to empire and reach the Outer Domain!" "There are no rules in the Outer Domain, but our Ten Thousand Races stand guard!" Pausing his speech, he continued: "Do not say we are leaving the Human Race with no path of survival, after all, in the fight against demons, you are the main force." Newest update provıded by 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙 "The elders of our Ten Thousand Races will set three trial gates on the path to empire." "If you can break through, the Outer Domain can be reached, but if you cannot even pass the three gates..." He suddenly smirked mockingly, "Then just guard this last pure land and await your end." "The burden of combating demons will be taken by us, the Ten Thousand Races!" "Enough has been said, let’s go!" The prodigy from the Divine Eye Race turned and walked away, followed by a large group of beings who also turned. The eight-armed being and the horned-tribe prodigy glanced at Su Changqing and Chu Xi at the peak of the platform, grinning grimly, "I’ll await you on the path to the empire." The Outer Domain prodigies came silently and then left just as quickly. The world fell silent once more, with only the slowly solidifying path to empire gradually becoming tangible. But now, the previous excitement over the path’s emergence was nowhere to be found. People were more worried about whether, in three months, the Human Race could truly pass the three trial gates of the path to empire? If they can pass, it will be fine. But if they cannot... Then the Human Race will be as if imprisoned, forced to defend the Cangyan Continent to the death. Su Changqing gazed far towards the path to empire, murmuring contemplatively. After a moment, he looked up at Chu Xi, "When do we leave?" "Would you like to come with me to the Outer Domain then?" Though he and Entropy’s final paths differ, they share a common enemy before the journey’s end. "My path does not lie in the Outer Domain." Entropy spoke slowly, his gaze distant upon the continent, "Though you are my true form, it is the Heavenly Dao that birthed me." "My essence is still incomplete. Once I’ve consumed all the darkness in the Azure Flame Realm, I will seek you out." Entropy does not need to cultivate. He simply needs to continually devour "black jade" to keep growing stronger. Once he has consumed all the black jade within the forbidden zone, his dark essence will be complete. His strength will then undergo a dramatic transformation. In other words, his growth rate is much faster than Su Changqing’s! Furthermore, though he’ll never become an emperor in this life, his limit far surpasses the emperor realm. The black jade from the Cangyan Continent can complete his essence. By then, he will possess the power to destroy the continent! And this is only the beginning. The destruction source within the world of the Ten Thousand Races in the Outer Domain, he can devour those as well! When he gathers the destruction sources of the Ten Thousand Races, when the great millstone of destruction can envelop the entire Outer Domain! Then, he will burn himself, driving the millstone, to destroy everything! The path of destruction! "Destruction is always easier than creation." Entropy looked at Su Changqing, speaking softly: "I will wait for you at the end of the path for some time, but not too long." "Perhaps you will stop me, perhaps..." He suddenly chuckled, "You might destroy everything before I do." Entropy didn’t say much else. Like an old friend saying goodbye, his figure slowly dispersing. Su Changqing watched for a long time, silent. He knew, when they meet again, they may likely be foes rather than friends. "I am the true form." Su Changqing looked at the departing figure of Entropy, smiled, "Destruction, too, will be a corner of my world." With a gentle laugh, Su Changqing’s figure also dispersed. Watching his departing figure, those powerful beings standing in the void showed varied expressions. Some had killing intent, others gazed greedily. The token of the Death God, the key of the emperor’s tomb, the endless fortune integrated within his body... What Su Changqing possesses is too alluring. More importantly, the other party’s identity is a dark entity! They could rightfully, under the guise of virtue, seize his treasures without condemnation. Which powerful being would be willing to miss such a heavenly opportunity? Everyone’s eyes flickered, understanding the upcoming opportunity. Central State, Literary Festival! Eastern Domain, Celestial Pill City. Su Changqing, whose divine sense returned, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes carried a hint of a smile, finding his venture to the Fortune Platform quite satisfactory. The divine image formed by fortune integration was stronger than he imagined! The limit of the divine image realm is only nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang. But for him, who formed his own world. No one knew how vast his growth had become. "The divine image has boundless uses, there seem to be secrets within the Death God’s token, as well as the integrated world from the fortune..." After experiencing a metamorphosis, Su Changqing needed to retreat for a few days to organize. But the current location was evidently unsuitable. Now with Su Changqing’s return, the anticipated cheers within Celestial Pill City were nonexistent. Everyone looked at Su Changqing on the pill platform with fear and hesitation. Though Su Changqing did not do anything outrageous. The identity of the dark entity was enough to cause resistance and fear among them. Su Changqing opened his eyes, seeing the scene, he fell into slight silence. He did not bother to explain anything. Prejudices in people’s hearts are not something that can be clarified with a few words. Time will prove everything. "Chang Qing, that person... who is he?" Pill Saint trusted Su Changqing but couldn’t help the confusion in his heart, asking aloud. Beside him, Chu Xi, the returned Xuan Yan, and everyone in Celestial Pill City looked at Su Changqing. They seemed to be awaiting an answer. Su Changqing saw this and smiled, not hiding anything. He gazed distantly, and spoke softly:
