Chapter 252 Seeds of Destruction, Mythical Battlefield

"Because of this." Blood gushed out of Marpa's mouth and he looked extremely painful, but this guy still managed to squeeze out a bloody and hideous smile.

He raised his finger with difficulty and pointed it at his chest.

Following Marpa's gaze, Su Heng slowly moved his big foot away from Marpa's chest.

Escaped successfully.

Marpa breathed heavily but did not struggle.

He placed his bloody palms on his chest, pressing on a long, charred scratch between his ribs.

Stab it!

Accompanied by a spurt of blood.

Marpa actually cut open his chest in front of Su Heng.

What are you doing? Let me see how many bowls of noodles you have eaten... Seeing his crazy behavior, Su Heng was surprised at first, then his eyes narrowed slightly, and even his heavy breathing slowed down subconsciously.

In Marpa's bloody chest.

A dark green heart is beating slowly and heavily.

A corrupt and evil force was radiating outward from this heart, and wisps of black mist condensed in the air. Wherever the black mist passed, the trees remaining on the battlefield began to grow rapidly, covered with a layer of extremely aggressive black spikes.

Then, as if these plants had their own consciousness, they tried to hunt amid the rustling sounds.

"This is... a strange beast."

Su Heng's brows furrowed deeply.

He had always been curious about how those strange beasts were born.

And now, the answer appeared before him. What he had always thought was the infection of the demon god was actually not accurate. The source of the power of the strange beast came from the strange heart in Marba's body. This heart, which exuded an ancient and corrupt aura, was the source of all corruption and the culprit that tortured Jinwu to death.

“What on earth is this thing that can kill a divine beast?” Su Heng’s voice was low, and a dangerous dark red light condensed at his fingertips.

"This is the 'Seed of Destruction'." Marpa panted, a trace of reminiscence appeared on his ugly and bloated face, "This is a sacred artifact deep in the Eternal Heaven. I was exiled and banished to this world because I stole its power."

"The power of the Seed of Destruction can only be suppressed by me."

Marpa's expression became serious, and he looked at Su Heng with burning eyes and said, "If I die, its power will get out of control."

"and then?"

"Do you know the mythical battlefield?" Marpa did not answer directly, but asked in return.

"Do you think I'm very patient?" Su Heng showed a sinister smile on his face, and the red light gathered at his fingertips burst out. The power mixed with the hot radiation in the Golden Crow Heart evaporated one of Marpa's arms out of thin air.

"what!!!"

The latter let out a scream, and bloody sweat broke out from Marpa's body.

"Once the Seed of Destruction gets out of control, the destructive power it generates will be enough to destroy the boundary between Changshengtian and the real world."

The intense pain made Marpa tremble all over. He didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer and said in one breath, "This means that a mythical battlefield will be born here. At that time, countless evil demons in Changshengtian will be able to pass through here unimpeded and enter the mortal world. Among them, there will even be more powerful and ancient demons than me."

Marpa's words plunged Su Heng into deep silence.

Of course he knew about the mythical battlefield.

Even for the powerful Great Zhou Dynasty, the Mythology Battlefield was an absolute threat. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty had killed countless enemies and made great achievements in the ten Heavenly Expeditions, it also paid a terrible price. Especially in the tenth Heavenly Expedition, the current Emperor Wu was directly injured.

It was said that he was about to die, and even the political affairs of the empire were handed over to the third prince.

If a new mythical battlefield appears in Skull Plain.

Even if it were on a smaller scale, it would have been a protracted catastrophe.

……

On the other side, at Su Heng's feet.

Marpa quietly hid the barely perceptible hatred in his eyes, and a sinister smile emerged in his heart. What he just told Su Heng was seven parts true and three parts false. The Seed of Destruction was true, and the Mythical Battlefield was also true.

When he first came here, Jinwu chose to weaken and seal Marpa for this reason.

But more than two thousand years have passed.

During this long seal, Marpa has learned how to coexist with the "Seeds of Destruction".

He separated the power beyond his control from the "Seed of Destruction" and released it into the outside world. These powers polluted the life in the Dharma King Temple and turned into the strange beasts that Su Heng and others encountered now. Moreover, the environment of the Skull Plain is special and is closely related to Changshengtian.

Coupled with the pollution brought by the "Seeds of Destruction", the Dharma King Temple will soon become a mythical battlefield.

This is actually not subject to Marpa's will.

In Changshengtian, Marpa, as a demon god, is already considered a strong man.

But in the eyes of the older generation, it is still just a chess piece, exiled to this wild land, used to open the passage between the present world and the Eternal Heaven.

As for what happened after leaving the Dharma King Temple, even if Su Heng really wanted to kill him in another place, Marpa was certain to escape. With the talent and power brought by the "Seed of Destruction", Marpa's strength could be quickly restored, even better than before.

By the time--

He must get back the humiliation he suffered today tenfold or a hundredfold!
Marpa was furious in his heart, but his face remained calm. Seeing Su Heng raise his eyes, Marpa trembled violently and hurriedly persuaded him, "Let me go, I swear I will never step into this place and appear in front of you again."

"I don't want to die, and there is no need for you to fight to the death with those monsters in Changshengtian." Marpa repeated with a hint of temptation in his voice.

"You said it well..." A sigh came from Su Heng's big mouth full of fangs.

"Yes, that's it!" A hint of ecstasy appeared on Marpa's face, but Su Heng's next sentence made him fall into a cold abyss.

"But I still think it's better to kill you here." Su Heng stretched out a big hand and strangled Marpa's neck. He tilted his head, like a butcher looking at the pork being cut on the chopping board, and his cold and blood-red eyes made Marpa tremble.

"Why?" Marpa's neck creaked and the pustules on his face burst, oozing blood.

Has his plan been exposed?

That shouldn't be the case. He hid all the details very well without any omissions.

"Peace survives when it is sought through struggle, but it dies when it is sought through compromise." Su Heng used his rough nails to scratch the rotten flesh on Marpa's face. The monster grinned coldly and said, "No sacrifice is too great to be accepted, and no compromise is too small to be compromised."

"If war must come, I should be the one to start it." Su Heng patted Marpa's face with his other hand. "Do you understand, bastard?"

It was like a thunder exploding in my heart.

Looking at the ferocious face that filled his vision, Marpa was confused for a moment.

Since he was born, he has always felt the threat of death. He has thought of many possibilities and ways to deal with it. But he never expected that someone would be willing to start a war with Changshengtian. This madman, this monster...

Marpa opened his mouth to say something, but only scarlet blood and dirty pieces of internal organs came out of his throat.

Severe pain pierced into the brain, stirring up consciousness.

In a daze.

Marpa recalled what Su Heng had said before - this world was just a cage for him, and he was the key that released the eternally hungry beast. Thinking of this, Marpa could not help but feel a sense of horror, and waves of chills ran up his spine.

Click!

Su Heng broke Marpa's spine, and the fear stopped in an instant.

He opened his mouth and exhaled, and the blazing sun fire burned Marpa's internal organs. Then Su Heng struck hard, tearing off Marpa's limbs and chopping off his head, leaving only a large pool of dirty black flesh and blood on the ground.

The heart-shaped "Seed of Destruction" was still beating, emitting wisps of gray-black corrupt light.

Su Heng reached out and grabbed the heart in his hand, feeling the amazing power bursting out of it.

His expression changed slightly.

But now is not the time to study this stuff.

"Take it first... I'll study it carefully after I'm done with things here."

And, there’s one more thing.

Marpa had died, but there were no obvious changes in the Dharma King's Monastery.

"You are lying to me." Su Heng looked at the bloody corpse at his feet, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, what Marpa said was not entirely false. The corrupt demon was dead, but the corruption he left behind could not be removed. It seeped deeply into the void like poison clinging to the bones.

It is also the root cause of many strange things happening in the Dharma King Temple.

In the near future, this place is destined to evolve into a new mythical battlefield.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing, it all depends on the power comparison between the two. If the strength is strong enough, then the Mythology Battlefield will be a gold mine with constantly refreshing resources. If the opposite is true, then it will become a catastrophe, and the entire Skull Plain and the Seven States of Jiang and E will be reduced to a doomsday wasteland.

"If war is inevitable, let the Skull Field burn." Su Heng took some time to digest the news, and when he opened his eyes again, he was ready.

However, we should first clear out the disaster beasts in the Dharma King Temple.

Although it cannot be stopped, it should be possible to buy more time for preparation.

Swish!
Thinking of this, Su Heng immediately started to take action.

"Boom!" A huge amount of blood and energy like black smoke billowed out of his body, and his injuries recovered quickly. Then he used the Haori magic to devour the flesh and blood left by the corrupt demon Marpa.

“Although it’s a bit ugly, it tastes really good.” With a sinister laugh, Su Heng spread his wings and his huge body soared into the sky.

The wind waves that rose up on the spot were like a tide, sweeping all the broken buildings on the battlefield aside, and the dust and smoke rolled. When the smoke and dust dissipated again, Su Heng's burly body had disappeared on the spot, leaving only the golden sunlight at dawn, shining on the battlefield full of holes.
