The improved female villains regained their memories.

"Qiongqi, you've had a tough time all these years."

boom!

The deathly aura slammed into the tribulation clouds, immediately eliciting a scream.

Its life force quickly waned, and death permeated everything around it.

In the sea of ​​lightning, Luo Benmo, panting heavily as he healed his injuries, looked up at the tribulation clouds above and slowly raised his hand.

A crimson aura emerged, and the sea of ​​lightning transformed into crimson lightning.

A crimson hue also appeared in the tribulation clouds above.

She hadn't used her Blood Spirit Root because she was afraid that Qiongqi and the others would notice.

When Xiao Qitian made the impact, some blood spiritual energy seeped in. Blood spiritual roots are different from other spiritual roots. The blood spiritual energy they produce can be shared. As for who uses whose blood spiritual energy, it depends on the purity of both blood spiritual roots.

And Luo Benmo's purity is undoubtedly superior to Xiao Qitian's.

"The Blood-Soaked City Tower has crumbled..."

Despite her serious injuries, she still managed to use this move.

Immortal's ultimate move - Blood City Tower Destruction.

This move could be initiated with just a thought, but Luo Benmo still raised his hand.

Scenes from her second life kept flashing in her eyes.

In the paused moment, blood gushed forth, the man's back a bloody mess, his eyes tightly shut, as he fell forward. Lightning from the dark clouds mingled with the killing intent emanating from other immortals, red, green, purple, and orange, making the blood appear desolate and glaring.

He could hear nothing, see nothing—not the sounds of killing blows, the wind, the thunder, the shouts of the crowd. Everything...

That was the first time Luo Benmo broke his promise; in the end, he didn't use that move.

But now...

boom!

Within that black mist, Luo Benmo's unique blood energy rippled out, spreading in concentric circles, as if creating waves.

The immortals of the Heavenly Guardian Sect were all seriously injured, and the protection of the Nine-Nine Tribulation Clouds collapsed instantly.

The black mist surged upwards, and anyone who touched it died instantly.

Xu Baxian appeared on the roof of the palace, pointing his sword at the heavens.

Countless royal treasures were thrown into the grand formation as if they were free, completely perfecting and completing it.

Song Panning also looked up at the sky, simultaneously controlling the great formation with Xu Baxian.

"Get down!"

Those high and mighty immortals fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The range of gravity increased, and everyone was affected.

Luo Benmo, one of the Four Heavenly Spirits, Su Murong...

As the Nine-Nine Tribulation Clouds dissipated, the immortals of the Heavenly Guardian Sect, swept over by the deathly aura, all fell to their deaths.

Qiongqi felt the wind rushing into his ears, and blood stuck in his throat, flowing backward.

The tattered clouds receded into the distance, like blood, like a painting; this was the last scenery it could see.

Chapter 488 Qiongqi, Qiongqi!

The tribulation clouds broke, and the Guardian Heaven Sect suffered heavy casualties.

Qiongqi felt as if he were lying on the ground, his demonic energy was being restricted, and his strength was being constantly weakened.

Its senses weakened, its body was covered in wounds, and the deathly aura it was tainted with was constantly consuming its lifespan, gradually leading it to its death.

It sensed several powerful auras flying over, seemingly there to wipe out its remaining forces.

boom!

Qiongqi roared to the sky, covered in blood, trying to defy the great formation, but even the source of the Heavenly Dao couldn't do anything about it, so what could a heavily injured ferocious beast do?

"What are you yelling about?" Song Panning looked at her coldly and pressed her hand down slightly.

boom!

A mountain formed of spiritual energy pressed Qiongqi firmly to the ground, but it gritted its teeth and struggled upwards to resist.

The two clashed, but Song Panning, who was at the Earth Immortal Realm, won. As the ground beneath Qiongqi collapsed, it was heavily pressed into it.

The fog seems to have dissipated.

Song Panning walked lightly through the air, each step creating a lotus flower.

"You dog kept by the Heavenly Guardian Sect, what are you still struggling for? I've absorbed the origin of the Heavenly Dao, what hope do you have left?" She sneered, mocking Qiongqi without any politeness.

"Hope?"

Qiongqi coughed up blood, his trembling hands sinking deep into the earth, sensing his impending doom, and the scene before him became blurry.

-------------

Many years ago.

There were four demonic beasts, without parents or race, whose lives were ordained by Heaven.

For them, the Way of Heaven is their parent.

Unlike other monster races that band together for warmth, these four, who have no race, can only rely on each other.

"We have no parents, so Heaven is our parent."

"Our mission is to protect the Way of Heaven."

"That's right. As long as the Heavenly Dao exists, it doesn't matter what happens to us."

That year, the ferocious beasts were not yet ferocious beasts; they lingered on the Demon Mountain, gazing at the sky with open eyes.

Just as the little Vermilion Bird was born wanting to protect Su Murong, the four demons felt the same way, taking it all for granted.

Each of them occupied a hilltop and declared itself king.

"From this day forward, I shall be Qiongqi." Qiongqi stood tall on the mountain, gazing at the vast world. "No matter what the future holds, protecting the Way of Heaven is my mission."

-------------

after many years.

The land of China is engulfed in war, with humans and demons locked in fierce battles.

At this point, the four of them did not participate in the battle, but instead sat on the hilltop drinking.

"Both the demon race and the human race want to control the Heavenly Dao. It seems that since cultivation has become possible, everyone has become restless," Taotie remarked, holding a wine bowl.

Chaos was a man of few words, and Taotie was too busy eating to speak, so Taotie looked at Qiongqi and asked, "Qiongqi, how is your cultivation progressing?"

"The linear patterns have been condensed," Qiongqi replied calmly.

Taotie was taken aback: "My God, our demon race's cultivation progress is always slower than that of the human race, but in just a few years, Qiongqi, you've already mastered linear runes?"

"So what? We are born and raised by nature, unlike other demon beasts. So what if we cultivate faster?" Qiongqi glanced at it disdainfully: "It's just that the four of us have our own flaws. You are all troubled by your flaws, which is why you are slower than me."

Taotie nodded: "After all, the way of Heaven is impartial and will not give perfect talents. Even if we were created by it, it will not favor us too much."

It paused for a moment, then asked, "Both the demon race and the human race want to control the Heavenly Dao. Who do you think will prevail?"

"Does it matter to us?" Qiongqi asked rhetorically. "Whether it's a human or a demon, as long as the Heavenly Dao is at peace, that's all that matters."

"That's true."

-------------

boom!

A terrifying demonic aura swept towards the human tribe, but was blocked by a flame.

"Qiongqi, what are you doing?!" Jiu Bahuang roared, and together with Shenque, they surrounded the four demonic beasts led by Qiongqi.

"Hmph! Nine Eight Desolations, humans bestowed upon you the title of divine beast, and you actually believed it?" Qiongqi said with narrowed eyes, "The Heavenly Dao has abandoned the human race. Nowadays, there isn't even a normal cultivator among humans. Only you and the Divine Sparrow are willing to be humans' dogs."

"We swore an oath together back then, to receive divine beast titles, and to protect the Heavenly Sect together!" Jiu Ba Huang shouted, "Are you going to break your oath?"

"Nine-Eight Desolations! Don't try to scare me with your oaths. I'm telling you right now, if Heaven wants to destroy humanity, then I'm going to destroy humanity. If humanity has the ability, they should solve the flood problem first. If they don't, then they'll obediently be destroyed by me!"

"Qiongqi!"

"Go away!"

Just as the two sides were about to clash, a terrifying sword light pierced the sky and earth.

"Shun has succeeded!" The Divine Sparrow rejoiced throughout the Nine Eight Desolations.

"What!?" Qiongqi's eyes narrowed slightly, incredulous.

-------------

Many more years have passed.

Since the emergence of the four great treasures of heaven and earth, the human race has gained an increasingly stronger control over the Dao of Heaven, and the Heavenly Guardian Sect has gradually grown in scale.

However, because of what happened back then, these four were branded as ferocious beasts and banished to the depths of the Cloud Sea of ​​the Heavenly Guardian Sect.

Qiongqi led the way in expressing its submission once again, and from then on, it locked itself in the sea of ​​clouds, refusing to see anyone.

"Humans actually possess such abilities to protect the Heavenly Dao!"

"Although the will of Heaven was dispelled, those people actually sacrificed themselves and replaced the will of Heaven with the will of man."

“Heaven’s will is unwilling and will inevitably settle in the human realm in the future. In this way, it will turn into a civil war among other human races.” Qiongqi sat cross-legged in thought, his eyes seeing through everything.

"Heaven's way cannot be broken. Humanity has already done this, and I cannot stop it. I can only take precautions for the future."

"First, I must find the most suitable person to become the will of Heaven. In that case, Heaven might develop its own consciousness."

"Secondly, regardless of the future outcome, whether it is positive or negative, Heaven's will will not allow any mistakes, and I will eliminate all potential threats."

Thinking of this, it got up.

A gust of wind blew across its body, revealing a faint luster, and a trace of blood welled up from the corner of its mouth.
