What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

But the next second, an accident happened.

The young divine messenger felt as if she were facing an endless ocean. She had finally managed to draw out a portion of the magic power, but the other party replenished it in the blink of an eye, as if she had never drawn any.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Before she could recover from the shock, Zhong Hui launched a new offensive.

With a casual wave of his staff, a rain of swords poured down from the sky; immediately after, he made a hand seal, and a golden seal descended from mid-air; at the same time, an ancient giant hand descended from the sky.

The triple attack from both sides completely blocked all her escape routes.

The young divine messenger was utterly shocked: How could this person's magic be so ridiculously powerful?!

Zhong Hui's offensive was too fierce. In order to save her life, she had no choice but to burn her own source of power, concentrating her strongest killing move to block it while frantically stripping the magic power from the opponent's moves in an attempt to reduce the power of the attack.

In a short time, she was pushed to her limit.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't draw out even a fraction of her magic power. Fortunately, her long-accumulated trump card finally came into play.

Just as the attack was about to land, she threw out the black ball that she had been holding in her palm for a long time.

The black sphere hovered in mid-air, like a miniature black hole, emitting a terrifying suction force that frantically devoured everything around it, even pulling in sunlight, causing the area within a radius of hundreds of meters to gradually darken.

The rain of swords, the golden seal, and the ancient giant hand were all pulled backward by this immense force. In the process, the magic power in the moves was gradually drawn away by the black hole, and the power of the attacks became weaker and weaker.

"Eat everything? Interesting."

Zhong Hui, intrigued, decided to escalate the situation, unleashing a barrage of deadly attacks by channeling his boundless magical power.

The three powerful divine abilities were unleashed in succession: the Battle Secret, which can evolve into countless battle tactics; the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, which can see through all illusions; and the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, which has explosive destructive power.

It should be understood that everything in the world has its limits.

Although a black hole can swallow everything, it was created by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and its capacity to hold things is limited.

The previous three attacks had already made the black hole struggle to swallow them, and now an even stronger attack was coming, which the black hole was finding it difficult to withstand.

Seeing this, the young divine messenger could only desperately pour magic into the black hole to stabilize its internal structure, fearing that it would go out of control and explode.

Just as the situation was turning in a positive direction, the five attacks still couldn't escape the black hole's suction force, and magic power was being continuously drawn away. Among them, the tiny fire lotus, which looked powerless, was easily sucked in.

But this is the most fatal thing. Once inside the black hole, the fire lotus is like a starving man facing a feast. It immediately begins to devour the scattered magic power inside, growing bigger and bigger.

The young divine messenger's expression changed drastically as she instantly sensed something amiss in the black hole.

At this moment, the magic power inside the black hole is frantically gathering and twisting into an extremely terrifying force. If this force gets out of control, she will be seriously injured at best, and die at worst.

The situation has completely reversed, leaving her in a dilemma.

If you give up and leave, the black hole will explode on the spot without its restraints; but if you stubbornly persist, you will still suffer serious damage.

The young divine messenger felt both annoyed and frustrated, regretting it so much that she felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

Soon, the magic of the sword rain was completely devoured and dissipated into the world, followed by an ancient giant hand and a golden seal.

The fiery lotus inside the black hole received a constant supply of energy, becoming increasingly violent and agitated, like a time bomb ready to explode at any moment.

The young divine messenger could only desperately suppress the fiery lotus, while shouting fiercely, "This is a residential area! If it explodes, everyone around here will die! Stopping now is better for all of us!"

Zhong Hui remained silent, then raised his hand and unleashed another barrage of sword strikes.

Has this woman gone mad? To kill me, she doesn't even care about the lives of these ordinary people? Isn't she afraid of being held accountable by fate? The young divine envoy was terrified by the other party's ruthlessness, her mind in turmoil.

She tried to persuade him again: "I know you're angry, but Cang Xing isn't hurt, and she's still here. Even if you don't think about these ordinary humans, you should at least think about her, right?"

Her response was still silence.

Has this guy really gone mad? No, I have to get out of here before things get completely out of control.

The fiery lotus within the black hole has now reached a point where it is impossible to suppress; the slightest stimulation will cause it to explode.

Since she was going to suffer a major blow either way, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and choose the best option at hand.

The next second, without any hesitation, he severed the magic that was maintaining the black hole and instantly began to build a defensive barrier for himself.

Without the suppression, the Fire Lotus completely spiraled out of control.

Endless flames pierced through the black hole, turning the entire sky fiery red. At the same time, an indescribable force exploded and spread outwards from the black hole.

Chapter 119 The Dark Gem

This fire lotus is intertwined with the two people's immense magical power. The power sealed within it is extremely unstable, and its power far exceeds that of the one in the villa area. Once it is detonated, this densely populated old community will inevitably suffer devastating damage.

In order to minimize her own losses, the young goddess decisively withdrew the power that was maintaining the black hole to suppress the fire lotus, and instead focused on preserving herself.

The moment the restraints disappeared, the fire lotus instantly went out of control.

The black hole was swallowed by the fire lotus, and the blinding red light filled the sky and earth. The surging energy waves swept in all directions with overwhelming force, as if they wanted to erase everything.

The violent energy spread rapidly, turning the entire sky above crimson, cracking the ground inch by inch, and evaporating all the trees and parked cars along the street, resembling a scene of the apocalypse.

"What a madman!"

The young divine messenger gave Zhong Hui one last deep look before her body was completely enveloped by layers of defense, doing her best to resist the impending impact.

On the other side, an unstoppable torrent of energy rushed towards him, arriving in front of Zhong Hui in just a few breaths.

Faced with this terrifying impact, Zhong Hui made no defensive move. His spiritual energy was still, and he stood calmly in place.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The continuous explosions echoed endlessly, their sounds like deafening thunder.

Even from dozens of miles away, one can clearly see the strange phenomena occurring here and hear the earth-shaking roar.

The defensive barrier erected by the young divine messenger was as fragile as a small boat in a storm amidst the raging torrent of energy.

The violent impacts pounded against the surface of the barrier, creating ripples that eventually caused it to crack and collapse on a large scale.

Seeing this, the young divine envoy, who was at the innermost part of the barrier, turned ashen-faced and could only frantically mobilize her own power to continuously add new defenses.

But this was of no use; the power of the attack had already exceeded her limit.

After holding out for only a dozen seconds, all defenses collapsed completely, and the violent energy rushed straight at her, who was completely unprotected.

There was nowhere to retreat, nowhere to avoid.

In the critical moment, the young goddess clenched her teeth and desperately protected her vital parts.

"Boom..."

The extreme explosion spread out completely, and a huge crimson fire lotus phantom rose into the air, the crimson flames spreading continuously, illuminating the surrounding area for dozens of miles.

The enormous commotion attracted the attention of countless people, all of whom stared in astonishment at the breathtaking fiery lotus in the sky.

This unparalleled explosion lasted for several minutes.

As the aftershocks of the energy gradually dissipated, the young divine messenger, who had been swallowed by the explosive torrent, slowly revealed her form.

At this moment, she was in a terrible state, her breath was weak, all her black hair had been burned away, large areas of her fair and delicate skin were charred and carbonized, and countless torn wounds were oozing blood. Black and red crisscrossing wounds covered her body, making her look like a demon from hell, a terrifying sight.

Fortunately, she survived.

Gasping for breath after surviving the ordeal, she looked ahead warily, where Zhong Hui's figure had vanished.

"That madman, could he have died from his own attack?"

Thinking of this, even though she was severely injured and covered in wounds, she was still overjoyed. But then, a pang of regret arose; such a beautiful face had perished along with its owner.

The young divine messenger looked further into the distance, but his vision was a hazy gray, and he couldn't see anything clearly. It seemed that the humans in those houses who hadn't managed to escape had all died in the explosion, including the unconscious Cangxing.

"Sigh, what a pity, all that work for nothing..."

She murmured, "I've wasted too much time. I need to leave quickly. If the Floating Light Squad arrives, it'll be troublesome. Besides, killing two three-star enemies this time can't be considered a waste of time."

As soon as she finished speaking, just as she was about to leap away, a sudden "plop" sound rang out, and a piercing pain instantly swept through her entire body.

The young divine messenger looked down in disbelief and horror, only to see a blood-stained arm piercing through her chest, its hand clutching a beating heart.

"How could this be..."

The hand that pierced her chest was pulled back, and her shocked words came to an abrupt halt, leaving a hole the size of a bowl in her chest.

With her last bit of strength, the young goddess turned around with difficulty, only to be met with Zhong Hui's amused smile. In his palm, she still held a bleeding, beating heart.

At this moment, Zhong Hui's aura was powerful, like the blazing sun and raging fire. He seemed completely unaffected by the explosion just now. He looked down at the heart in his hand and said, "I thought that someone like you must have a heart that is completely black."

Chen Shuhan's lips trembled, filled with resentment and countless questions swirling in her mind, wanting to ask for clarification.

But her heart was forcibly removed, a fatal wound that was certain to kill her.

Life slipped away quickly, and she could no longer hold on, falling heavily onto the devastated ruins. The gray fog that had obscured her view slowly dissipated, revealing a safe and undamaged neighborhood.

I... got outsmarted?!

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she died.

This woman, who spent her life indulging in youth and harming others for her own selfish desires, ultimately died alone and tragically in the ruins in such an ugly and wretched state.

A gentle breeze swept across the land, and the corpse vanished in a flash of light, leaving behind only a jet-black gem.

Zhong Hui landed with a leap, picked up the jet-black gem, and countless black lacquer immediately seeped out from the gem, flowing down his skin and straight to his mind.

To wield power, to have beautiful women by one's side, to live forever, and to roam freely through the heavens...

Scenes of illusions that living beings spend their entire lives chasing flashed through his mind, stirring up his desires and making him addicted to them. A strong greed then grew wildly.

Greed relentlessly eroded his consciousness, luring him into a delusional state where he fantasized about becoming the protagonist who controlled everything in the scene.

"I am the emperor revered by all the heavens, and should be worshipped by all races and beings, behold all the beauties of the world, and do as I please... These are the things I should enjoy..."

Zhong Hui kept muttering to himself and grinning, eager to become the master of the picture.

Just as his consciousness was about to sink, a scene of bizarre invasion, shattered heavens, and suffering of all beings flashed by, bringing him back a sliver of clarity. "No, I am the Heavenly Emperor!"

The next second, Zhong Hui snorted coldly, quickly focused his mind and used his abundant spiritual energy to force out the black energy that was eroding his consciousness. At the same time, he set up layers of seals to lock the black energy inside the gemstone.

After doing all this, he looked at the gem in his hand with apprehension. The black energy inside was like a living thing, constantly colliding with the seal, eager to erode the person in front of him.

"What astonishing greed! Is this the seed of tragedy?"

Zhong Hui was still shaken; his experience of 500,000 years of ups and downs almost couldn't withstand the corrosive influence of greed.

He was extremely curious about this gem, which had the same appearance as the Seed of Lamentation, but its effects were completely different.

The Seed of Sorrow is pure and flawless, and can enhance one's cultivation; while the gem before us is as black as ink, and the black energy within it can bewitch the mind and cause one to sink into its allure.
