Kill me?

Hearing the mummified corpse utter those words so casually, Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and then a deep sense of reverence welled up within him.

The corrupting celestial lord before us is indeed a false god, created by the being who initiated the celestial tribulation.

However, he is exactly the same as the original in terms of personality, which is enough to show that the original would make the same choice when faced with the same situation.

When it comes to facing death with equanimity, Su Yuan honestly admits that he could never do it.

The older generation of cultivators were indeed righteous and awe-inspiring!

As for whether Su Yuan can bring himself to do it?

He had no choice but to do it! The situation didn't allow him to hesitate!

The moment the true identity of the mummified corpse was revealed, the aura emanating from the other party began to rise at an alarming rate.

He, who was a mummy who had long since died, began to revive.

Su Yuan could clearly see the other party's withered muscles become fuller, and his dried-up cultivation level rise layer by layer... But strangely, this mummified corpse did not consume any energy during the process of revival.

He didn't use either the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or the black mud from the outside world; power was simply born out of thin air.

"Is it the unconscious influence of the being who initiated the Celestial Tribulation? Could he have already reached the level of creating something from nothing?"

Su Yuan murmured to himself, seeing that the dried corpse had recovered to the peak of Qi Refining and could reach the Foundation Establishment stage at any moment, and then said without hesitation:
"Senior, please forgive me! I will do my best to make sure you die cleanly, leaving not a trace!"

Upon hearing this, the mummified corpse smiled slightly.

At this moment, his face had become fuller due to the replenishment of flesh and blood; it was a very handsome face, radiating the sunshine of a young man.

Su Yuan carefully memorized the face and then unleashed the Demonic Thunder.

The next instant, a dark cloud of tribulation appeared, centered on Su Yuan's location, enveloping the entire world inside the coffin.

Immediately, a bolt of purplish-black lightning, about ten feet in diameter, pierced through the tribulation clouds and crashed down on the dried corpse.

The tribulation lightning, over thirty meters in diameter, descended, and even though it was purplish-black in color, it still easily illuminated the entire small world as bright as day.

Where the lightning raged, the earth and rocks on the ground quickly turned into magma.

The mummified corpse floated on the lava, and after enduring only the first lightning strike, more than two-thirds of its body was destroyed.

However, as soon as the power of the tribulation lightning subsided slightly, he regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Yuan remained silent, only relentlessly unleashing the tribulation lightning.

One after another, thick bolts of lightning struck, giving the mummified corpse no chance to catch its breath.

Even after his opponent was reduced to nothing but ashes, Su Yuan did not stop and continued to strike relentlessly.

Su Yuan only stopped when the power of heaven and earth within the coffin was completely exhausted and the tribulation clouds were forced to dissipate.

At this point, the area where the mummified corpse was located had formed a lava lake with a diameter of over one hundred meters, and the mummified corpse itself had been pulverized to the point of being completely obliterated.

"This false god should be considered completely killed."

Su Yuan thoroughly examined the magma inside and out, and only after confirming that there were no signs of it reviving did he breathe a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, a question couldn't help but pop into his mind.

Since false gods can be killed, why did the Corruption Lord seal them away?
Could it be that after the false god is completely killed, the being who initiated the celestial tribulation will become aware of it?

Or perhaps... a new false god will emerge?
Thinking of this, Su Yuan was startled, wondering if he had messed things up.

Fortunately, at that moment, the corrupted crown, which had transformed into a divinely created elixir, transmitted a thought to Su Yuan, and he finally understood why the mummified corpse was sealed there.

Among the powerful beings of the same level as the Corruption Heavenly Lord, he is also known for his strong vitality, and his substitute perfectly replicates this.

Therefore, even the Heavenly Lord of Corruption could not kill himself in a short time; he could only rely on the power of time to wear him down little by little.

Perhaps it won't be long before the Heavenly Lord of Corruption personally comes to the secret realm to resolve this future trouble; it's just that Su Yuan has taken over the task in advance.

However... this explanation from the Crown of Corruption does not prove that Su Yuan's two guesses were wrong.

In the end, Su Yuan didn't dwell on the matter for too long. The person was already dead, so what was the point of worrying about it anymore?

It's more important to focus on improving yourself.

With this in mind, Su Yuan quickly plundered all the primordial essence from the world within the coffin, intending to refine it slowly after leaving the secret realm.

Then, he took a stroll around the mausoleum, but there was nothing of value inside; it was clear that the old bastard Blood Soul True Monarch had emptied it out.

Fortunately, he did not come away empty-handed; he discovered a formation inside the mausoleum that opened the exit to the world within the coffin.

After activating the formation, a phantom gate leading to the outside world appeared directly in front of him. Without waiting for Chen Nuoyi's summons, he easily left the secret realm.

Inside the Yuan Cult headquarters on Blood Mist Island.

Seeing Su Yuan return unharmed, Chen Nuoyi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Hanyue couldn't wait to ask Su Yuan about his exploration results in the secret realm.

Su Yuan did not hide anything and told Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyue, and Mo Tisi the whole story about the mummified corpse and the secrets it had told him, which resulted in a collective silence from Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyue, and Mo Tisi.

"Han Ya, do you have Senior Wu Luo's contact information? Tell her that Nascent Soul cultivators might be switched out, and that I have a method to identify them."

Su Yuan looked at the pink-haired girl, his tone serious:

"According to the substitute of the Heavenly Lord of Corruption, the being that launched the Immortal Tribulation will only target Nascent Soul cultivators. Therefore, this information must not be told to the powerful beings at the Nascent Soul level without a thorough investigation."

"Moreover, we can't completely trust what that substitute says. Even among Nascent Soul cultivators, this information must be passed on in small numbers. The fewer people who know, the safer we are."

"That's why I contacted Lord Wuluo directly, instead of Captain Zhang." After hearing this, Qi Hanyue nodded solemnly, took out a small mirror that looked like a makeup mirror, and prepared to contact her mother.

But at that moment, the girl suddenly asked a question:
"What if... my mother has been switched at birth? What should I do?"

Oh? That's clever of you, to have thought of that. You've made progress!

Su Yuan glanced at the pink-haired girl with satisfaction and said calmly:
"If the people we trust most are replaced, then we can only accept our bad luck and wait to die."

"what?"

Qi Hanyue was stunned.

Su Yuan smiled and said:

"Just kidding. After you've notified Senior Wuluo, please have her avatar come over again as soon as possible so I can do a verification."

"Before revealing the other party's true identity, even if Senior Wuluo has been replaced, she herself will not realize it."

Qi Hanyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though Su Yuan's solution was quite appropriate, the girl still seemed flustered and unconsciously leaned closer to Su Yuan.

This is normal. Anyone would feel lost and uneasy if they found out that their closest relative might have become someone else.

after an hour.

On his wedding day, he met the old woman and appeared at the headquarters of Blood Mist Island.

"Senior, didn't you say this avatar wouldn't last long? I thought you would come up with another avatar."

Looking at the kind and amiable old woman in front of him, Su Yuan immediately recalled the embarrassment he felt on his wedding day.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a condition that is diagnosed as such.

The old woman chuckled and said:

"It won't last long and will inevitably dissipate, right? Who taught you that?"

"When your phone runs out of battery, do you just throw it away? Of course you find a place to charge it. Right now, this avatar is charged to about 30%, and it will be able to continue having fun in a while."

Su Yuan: "..."

Senior Wuluo is still too much of a supermodel.

"So? Did I get switched?"

The old woman asked with a smile.

Su Yuan had already taken control of the Blood Mist Island headquarters, so Wu Luo Zhenjun had already reached a conclusion as soon as he arrived.

The results are very gratifying.

After receiving confirmation that Su Yuan had not been switched, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"Su Yuan, your discovery is of great help to the survival of the cultivation civilization. I will remember your contribution."

The old woman gave Su Yuan an appreciative look:
"And from now on, I will secretly guide the Ten Heavenly Lords to meet you one by one, using reasonable reasons."

"I can't say for sure when we'll meet, so please be prepared."

Although he had somewhat anticipated this, Su Yuan still felt a surge of tension upon hearing the specific instructions.

After all, Nascent Soul cultivators are closer to immortals and gods in terms of level and status; they could crush him with a single breath.

Thinking about it carefully, he probably didn't offend any of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

No... it seems like I offended him.

For example, Wu Luo Zhenjun's girlfriend, Qi Hanya's father's mother, and Xinghe Daozhu.

Given the relationship between Wuluo Zhenjun and Xinghe Daozhu, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the first Federation Nascent Soul cultivator he would encounter would be her.

hiss--

Mixed doubles? That can't be right!
Su Yuan inwardly gasped, suddenly feeling a sense of unease about his future.

Just then, a soft 'ding-dong' sound suddenly rang in his ears.

Even villains need a savior! Having grasped a portion of the Primordial Dao, you finally possess the power to confront the Boundless Calamity Venerable!

"No... Immeasurable Calamity Venerable? Who is this guy? Could he be the mastermind behind the celestial calamity?"

Damn system, you're slandering us again! Who wants to go up against this terrifying existence that has destroyed countless cultivation civilizations?

[The Boundless Calamity Venerable possesses over 90% of the Primordial Chaos Dao, making him the Demon of All Demons. To become a Demon Lord, one must inevitably engage in a Great Dao contest with him!]

Good grief, did you set such a big goal for me?

I thought reaching the Nascent Soul stage was already quite an achievement, but it turns out they were planning to make me fight against the Limitless Kalpa Venerable, who is above the Nascent Soul stage, right from the start.

The main quest "Who is Strongest is the Demon Lord" has been updated!

[Task 1: Catch the mole (In progress)]

[Please make good use of the power of the Primordial Dao to find the traitors planted by the Boundless Tribulation Venerable in the cultivation world—at least three!]

[Mission Progress: False God Discovered (0/3)]

[Task Reward: Randomly copy the abilities of the Boundless Calamity Venerable *1]
