Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Su Ding's tone was calm, but his voice was louder than the thunder in the sky.

The body of the [Black Dragon Demon King] surged and rolled in the calamity clouds. His eyes were cold as he looked at Su Ding, and the anger in his heart was even more intense than the heavenly calamity.

"I was planning to let you go for the time being, but since you are determined to die, I will grant your wish!" The Black Dragon Demon King roared, and swooped down towards Su Ding with tremendous thunder.

"Om..."

Looking at the hideous face of the [Black Dragon Demon King], Su Ding slowly closed his eyes. A ray of golden light burst out from his body. His aura began to surge, and it actually directly overshadowed the [Black Dragon Demon King].

"The path of cultivation has one step, one level higher. Even burning the essence of the golden elixir cannot reach that level?" Su Ding looked up at the endless terror, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Great magical power [supernatural power and appearance]"

A ninety-nine-foot-tall, majestic figure's shadow was projected behind him, shining with golden light, as if it was going to illuminate the entire world.

The moment this phantom appeared, the entire cloud of calamity suddenly boiled up like a drop of cold water dropped into a boiling oil pan, lightning snakes danced wildly, thunder roared, and the fierce thunder fell on the golden giant, but there was not even a ripple.

"This is……"

[Black Dragon Demon King] looked at the huge Dharma image that emerged from behind Su Ding with fear. For a moment, it even thought that Su Ding had broken through the Nascent Soul stage.

However, in fact, even though he had burned the essence of the golden elixir to increase his strength, Su Ding was still a little short of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the magical power he displayed was created by imitating the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, and contained three parts of divine charm. Every time he displayed it, it was a huge burden on his soul.

However, these burdens are no longer important to Su Ding. He just wants the old snake in front of him to die!

"boom--"

The Dharmakāya suddenly slapped towards the direction of the [Black Dragon Demon King]. The surrounding air was instantly compressed, making a sharp sonic boom, and even the space was shaken.

Its height was less than a hundred feet, far less than the huge body of the [Black Dragon Demon King], but at this moment it felt an irresistible feeling in its heart.

Sure enough, the next moment its protective spiritual energy was ruthlessly torn apart. The palm slammed heavily on its body, and large pieces of its scales were shattered, causing it to fly backwards and curl up in pain in the air.

"How can he be so strong?" [Black Dragon Demon King] coughed up blood in large mouthfuls, his eyes full of horror.

But at this moment obviously no one could answer its question. Su Ding didn't have much time left and was in no mood to waste words. He controlled the Dharma image and pursued the enemy.

After witnessing the power of Dharmakāya, the [Black Dragon Demon King] did not dare to confront him head-on and fled in panic in the calamity cloud.

The demon king was being chased like a stray dog ​​on the roadside. Although it was undignified, it was the best solution for him at the moment.

Su Ding obviously didn't want to live anymore, and he was determined to drag him to be buried with him. It would be extremely irrational to confront him head-on at this time.

It's better to be in a mess than to lose your life.

As long as it waits for the heavenly tribulation to be brewing, it can begin to overcome the tribulation. By then, Su Ding, who has been locked in by the tribulation cloud, is destined to turn into ashes. There is absolutely no need to fight for his life with this desperate madman at this time.

In this way, the [Black Dragon Demon King] used all his skills to deal with Su Ding for half a quarter of an hour. Even when he was caught up sometimes, he chose to fight hard and never engaged in a head-on fight.

Faced with an opponent as slippery as a loach and with amazing defense, Su Ding was helpless.

Suddenly, a loud thunder exploded in the depths of the calamity cloud, and an endless breath of destruction filled the air.

The heavenly calamity is about to come.

[Black Dragon Demon King] immediately let out a long and happy roar, as if all the humiliation he had suffered before was vented out at this moment.

It looked at Su Ding and said triumphantly, "The calamity has come, old friend. No matter how well you have planned, you are still one step behind. Now, what else can you do?
Ah... maybe you can choose to self-destruct your golden elixir, but under this heavenly calamity, do you dare to do so?"

[Black Dragon Demon King] is fearless at this moment. Once the heavenly calamity is brewing, the aura of all living beings in the calamity cloud will be locked.

Except for it, the one who is to be afflicted, any other living creatures who make any unusual movement will face a thunder tribulation several times more powerful. Even a Nascent Soul True Lord will have to retreat.

As long as Su Ding activates the golden elixir in his body, the thunder tribulation will directly blast him into pieces.

Facing its provocation and ridicule, Su Ding seemed exceptionally calm. Looking at the lightning surging in the calamity cloud, his eyes were far-reaching, and he said lightly: "You are waiting, and am I not also waiting for this moment to come?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Demon King's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

Su Ding slowly raised his hand, a faint light flashed, and a metal Rubik's Cube the size of an adult's fist appeared in his palm. It was wrapped with dark electric current, and exuded an evil spirit from the inside out.

"That's the thing."

At the edge of the battlefield, Song Changsheng was stunned when he saw what Su Ding was holding, because this was exactly what he had brought out from the Blood Ruins Realm, and was later taken away by Cheng Muqiu, the leader of the Golden Crow Sect, with merit points. He did not expect to see it at this moment. (See Chapters 185 and 188 of this volume for details)
He knew from the beginning that this was an evil object, so when he saw someone wanted to take it, he took the opportunity to get rid of it. Unexpectedly, it ended up in Su Ding's hands. I don't know what he intended to do by taking it out now.

"Could it be possible to absorb even the demon king's life essence?" Song Changsheng thought secretly.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Su Ding. He did not severely damage the [Black Dragon Demon King] before the heavenly calamity came, and his self-destruction has lost its deterrent effect.

If they have no other countermeasures, they will suffer a crushing defeat.

From the current perspective, the key to turning the tide should be on the magic cube. His understanding of the magic cube is limited. He only knows that it can absorb the life essence of cultivators, but he doesn't know whether it has any effect on a strong man at the level of the Demon King.

Just as he was confused and guessing, Su Ding's voice suddenly came to his ears: "You all should evacuate immediately, the farther the better."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could react, Shi Potian rolled up his sleeves and led them away from the battlefield.

When their figures disappeared from his sight, Su Ding looked at the metal cube in his hand and said with regret: "It's a good treasure, but it's a pity that it's not the right way. Rather than lingering on like a ghost, it's better to die gloriously."

When Cheng Muchu handed this item to him, he said some high-sounding words, but he did have evil thoughts in his mind of using the special ability of this item to prolong his life.

To be precise, at that time, he was only one step away from becoming a demon.

In order to prolong his life, he has tried every possible means, and it can even be said that he has been deliberate and has made many plans for this purpose.

Xia Qingxue has a special physique and is a natural cauldron.

Among all his descendants, Su Ye is the one with the best talent and the closest bloodline power.

He had brought these two people up by his side since they were young, and nurtured them carefully at all costs.

This was a retreat he prepared for himself. Once his lifespan was exhausted and he could not extend it, he would resort to a strategy of concealing his true intentions, take over Su Ye's body, and then use Xia Qingxue as a cauldron to quickly restore his cultivation.

These methods are no different from those of the devil, the only thing left is to put them into action.

But people are not plants, so who can be heartless? When the time came, he couldn't bring himself to do it. "Old monk, thanks to your Buddhist scriptures, I finally didn't go down that road of no return."

Su Ding murmured softly, took one last look at the world, and then threw the metal cube in his hand into the depths of the calamity cloud without any reluctance.

Almost at the same time, the heavenly calamity descended, and purple-gold thunder fell with a loud bang, hitting the metal Rubik's Cube.

The outer shell of the metal cube cracked instantly, and golden light was reflected from the cracks. Then it exploded with a loud bang, and the entire calamity cloud was detonated.

"boom--"

"Do not--"

[Black Dragon Demon King] let out a long and shrill howl, with fear in his eyes that came from deep within his heart.

At this moment, it finally understood where Su Ding's confidence came from.

It desperately wanted to escape the range of the robbery cloud, but it was all in vain. The impact of the explosion came too fast and too violently. Wherever it passed, the space was shattered like glass. The fleeing body of the [Black Dragon Demon King] was directly swallowed up mercilessly...

At this time, Song Changsheng and others had already arrived thousands of miles away. They saw the night sky suddenly illuminated, and even the light of the moon was covered. Then, the roar of the explosion was heard, making their scalps numb.

Everyone looked in the direction where the explosion came from and was stunned. The scene they saw at that moment was unforgettable for them.

I saw a huge mushroom cloud radiating thousands of miles away, wrapped in lightning, rising in the sky. An invisible impact swept in all directions. Wherever it passed, rivers stopped flowing and mountains were shattered, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Such a powerful force cannot be caused by the self-destruction of a Jindan cultivator.

"How did he do it..." Song Changsheng was stunned. No wonder Su Ding asked them to go as far away as possible. With such a powerful explosion, let alone the [Black Dragon Demon King], even a Yuanying Zhenjun would be skinned alive, right?
"The master detonated the calamity cloud, and died together with the old snake." Chen Zhongfang's eyes were sad, and the fingers under his sleeves were trembling slightly.

"The heavenly calamity contains the laws of heaven, how can it be detonated?" Bai Yan retorted subconsciously.

"It's the power of the treasure in his hand. I don't know the details." Chen Zhongfang answered mechanically, looking a little lost.

Everyone was speechless and just stared blankly.

After a long time, when the dazzling light faded, the world returned to peace.

"Let's go and see if there are any hidden dangers left." Chen Zhongfang calmed down and said indifferently.

Everyone returned to the battlefield.

The entire swamp turned into a wasteland. At a glance, the earth was full of gullies, a charred black surface, and deathly silence.

Even in the void, there are still countless dense space cracks that are slowly healing.

Apart from the chaotic storm of laws, they could not detect any trace of Su Ding or the [Black Dragon Demon King], as if the two had never appeared in this world.

Nothing was left at the scene except ashes.

"Everything is over..." Shi Potian murmured softly, feeling a little lost.

Su Ding’s death is definitely a good thing for Tianmai Sect, but it is a huge loss for Da Qi.

"Fellow Daoist Jinyang, you are traveling alone in the underworld, have a pleasant journey!" Bai Yan and Shi Potian bowed together. In the past, Su Ding was their rival and senior.

And now, he is the hero of the entire Da Qi. He uses his life to clear the obstacles for Da Qi.

"Respectfully send off our Master, and may his soul return to heaven and earth!"

Chen Zhongfang and Bai Zimo knelt respectfully towards the void with tears in their eyes.

"Farewell to Master Jinyang!" Song Changsheng and others bowed three times respectfully as the etiquette of the younger generation, paying the highest respect to this master who changed the history of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Su Ye watched all this in a daze, without any movement, only two lines of tears could not stop rolling down from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, the mountain in his heart collapsed...

Mu Guibai, who was thousands of miles away, felt something in his heart and suddenly woke up from his meditation. He quickly walked out of the hall and looked in the direction of the main battlefield. His eyes seemed to have crossed thousands of mountains and valleys and caught a glimpse of everything that happened on the main battlefield.

"What happened?" Lian Siyu asked curiously.

"Daoyou Jinyang has passed away." Mu Guibai sighed lightly.

"Master Jinyang has fallen?" Lian Siyu covered her red lips in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

Mu Guibai said nothing, but solemnly tidied his clothes, sat upright, then took out his own zither, plucked it lightly with his fingertips, and slowly played a song with unique rhythm.

This was the song he played when he first discussed Taoism with Su Ding. Their interaction started with this song and should also end with this song.

When the song ended, Mu Guibai said in a voice so soft that only he could hear it clearly: "Fellow Daoist Jinyang, have a safe journey."

At that time, a breeze suddenly blew up, and a green maple leaf was rolled up, and it swirled and fell lightly on the Yaoqin, as if it was Su Ding's response to him...

The sun rises, and the fiery red sun is as scorching as ever.

The morning light enveloped the earth, dispelling the boundless darkness.

On the battlefield between humans and demons, after a day and night of bloody fighting, the demon army was completely defeated. The expeditionary coalition of Da Qi took the opportunity to attack and pursue the victory, killing people so that the blood flowed like a river.

Except for a small number of demon birds and faster demon beasts who escaped the killing of human monks, the vast majority became the achievements of the coalition soldiers.

Of the nearly one million demon army, only one tenth survived.

The demon race of the Ten Thousand Mountains came to an end.

This expedition, which lasted for ten thousand years, was prepared for ten years, and lasted for more than half a year, finally came to an end.

Amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, thousands of Allied soldiers cheered and enjoyed the joy brought by victory.

The cost of this battle was extremely heavy, but this victory was of vital importance to the cultivation world of Da Qi. All those who participated in this battle will be forever remembered in the history of Da Qi until the day when Da Qi is destroyed.

From today on, Da Qi will open a new chapter!
