Chapter 1525: The Evil Body’s Plan

“Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!” The Evil Body landed on a small island. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted in fury. Bloodthirst overwhelming, a sea of bloody light instantly engulfed and caged the lush, delightful island.

The green plants and colorful flowers withered, and the animals and Strangers dropped dead in an instant.

What was a lively, peaceful island a moment ago turned into a land of death in just the blink of an eye.

“Ahhhhh! AHHHHHH!!!”

After screaming incoherently for a moment, the Evil Body inhaled the sea of bloody light into his mouth. His aura immediately became more violent and terrible than before.

“Pwack!” However, the Evil Body spat out a mouthful of blood the next moment. His face looked white as a sheet.

“Cough! Cough!”

The next moment, the Evil Body began coughing violently and wobbling on his feet. He leaned against a rock looking weak and pathetic, but his eyes only grew redder and darker like that of a demon.

He was seriously injured to begin with, but he was afraid that Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou would catch up to him. So, he sacrificed a portion of his origin power to fuel his secret art and ran away for two weeks straight. That was why he had arrived on this island in this state.

Although he just consumed every speck of life on this island, it was as effective as splashing a cup of water on a burning house. It was nowhere enough to replenish him.

Sensing the emptiness inside his body, the Evil Body raised his head and roared at the top of his lungs once more. His fists were clenched, his veins were popping, and his madness was unending.

He had never suffered such terrible injuries or humiliation since he became a Sage.

Naturally, he hated it. Oh, he hated it so much.

“Kill you. I’ll kill you both... kill... kill...” He must kill Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou and pay back for what they did to him today. Only then could he vent the hatred in his heart. There was no other way.

After venting for a moment, the Evil Body finally regained his cool and sought out a cave. He then sat down and focused on recovering his strength.

A few days came and went in the blink of an eye. He had devoured every speck of earthly qi and spiritual energies within fifty kilometers of him, turning the island and the surrounding sea region into a zone of death.

“Phew...”

When the Evil Body finally stepped out of the cave, his first step collapsed the cave behind him, his second step collapsed the mountain and dried the lake behind him, his third step crumbled the earth beneath him, and his fourth step annihilated anything and everything.

The reason he did this was simple. It was to eliminate his tracks and prevent Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou from tracking him down.

Although he had recovered a portion of his strength, he obviously wasn’t a match for Ye Qing or Feng Qingyou.

In fact, he knew very well that he still might be no match for them even if he recovered all of his strength. After all, he had lost his counterpart.

However, he was never someone to stand idly and do nothing. He might be no match for them, but he could at least still put up a fight, couldn’t he? “No, this isn’t enough. Not enough at all. I need to kill more!”

The Evil Body muttered to himself, “Should I butcher the Profound Alliance?” He was considering butchering the Profound Alliance in order to regain his power.

In the past, he did not wipe out the Profound Alliance because it was still useful to him. Now though, it no longer mattered. If he butchered the millions of lives residing in the Profound Alliance, then he would regain all of his power and even replenish the damage done to the Crown of Butchers.

Previously, the Crown of Butchers had sustained some damage while clashing against the Earthly Sovereign Bell. That was why he needed to repair it, and killing was without a doubt the fastest way to do so.

“The Profound Alliance it is. It so happens that they’re affiliated to Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou in some ways. Killing them would definitely make me feel a bit better.”

An evil smile spread across the Evil Body’s face. It was as if millions of lives were no different from millions of specks of dust in his eyes.

That was exactly the case.

He had already killed millions to cultivate his Evil Body and forge the Crown of Butchers.

So what if he killed a couple more million?

A few days later, the Evil Body appeared above the Profound Alliance’s central headquarters and looked down on the island and crowd below. He licked his lips and curled them into a cruel smile.

Slowly, that smile morphed into spine-chilling killing intent. The Crown of Butchers also slid out of his sleeve and entered his palm.

When he gripped the weapon, brutal, bloody light and tyrannical bloodthirst flowed out like an invisible river of blood and crashed down toward humanity.

Even before the river of blood descended, every living being on the island felt terrified to their core. It was because they could feel an indescribable killing intent and death bearing down on them.

When they looked up and saw the cascading river of blood, the screams, wails, and cries were unending. There was chaos and despair everywhere.

High above the nine heavens, the Evil Body felt much better, so much so that even the anger and hatred that had been accumulating in his heart for the past days dissipated a little.

“Hahaha... don’t blame me for this. Blame Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou. They’re the ones who damned you all.”

The Evil Body felt increasingly delighted as he listened to the despairing screams of the people.

“Who is the one who graced the Profound Alliance with their presence? Have we done something to offend you?” It was at this moment a lazy, carefree voice came from somewhere. At the same time, a screen of light appeared and blocked the descending river of blood.

In just the blink of an eye, the screen of light was eroded to the brink of collapse. Then, a figure flew out of the island and held his palm upward like he was holding a seal. Rays of brilliant light flashed out of his hand and turned into various mysterious runes. They were able to restore the light barrier and stabilize its condition.

“Old Man Profound Firmament!” The Evil Body was somewhat astonished to see the newcomer. “You’re still alive?”

That’s right. The figure was none other than Old Man Profound Firmament.

The Sage clasped his hands in salute. “It is this old one. Who are you, and for what reason have you come to the Profound Alliance?” “A dead man does not need to know who I am.” Old Man Profound Firmament’s appearance surprised the Evil Body, to be honest. He thought the old man was already dead.

It did not matter though. If Old Man Profound Firmament was at peak condition, he might have had second thoughts about his current course of action. However, he could tell that the old man was also bearing injuries just like him. They were not insignificant injuries as well. That was why he wasn’t afraid.

As for the remaining five Sages, they were either wounded or have declined into Half-Sages. They did not even register as a threat in his radar.

As for everyone else, they also weren’t a threat. They were food.

He wouldn’t have come to the Profound Alliance if he wasn’t absolutely certain that he could succeed.

“Die!” Although he wanted to take his time to enjoy the death and despair of these people, he didn’t want to risk something going awry either. So, he took action immediately.

He had lived long enough to understand that villains usually died because they talked too much.

He raised the Crown of Butchers high up in the air and brought it down heavily.

Buzz!

The river of blood abruptly split into two, and a dazzling saber beam struck the light barrier. It instantly popped out of existence like a bubble.

Old Man Profound Firmament’s arm was sliced off from the shoulder as well.

The saber beam did not weaken after cutting through the light barrier and Old Man Profound Firmament’s arm. In fact, he became even stronger than before. It transformed into a sea of blood and wailing souls.
