Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 588 - 158 Madman, Chaos, Ocean (First update for monthly pass votes)_2

"He’s not wearing anything, where could there be sleeves?" Xu Shu was a bit puzzled.

He couldn’t figure it out and decided not to think too deeply about it.

However, as his gaze lingered on this eyeball for a while, he suddenly realized something, that he should recognize this eyeball.

This eyeball, covered in tentacles, although much smaller, was unmistakably recognized by Xu Shu.

Wasn’t this the same one from within the "Sword Qi Frenzy," where after Xuanshuang became the Sword Emperor and ascended, it turned out to be a deceit, orchestrated by the Evil God hidden behind the scenes?

Those tentacles, so novel, were the very things that pretended to be celestial music ribbons.

Now, it was dead.

Dead!

Dead right here!

Could it be the predecessor of Youlan Continent was Sword Qi Continent?!

This monk is really powerful to have slain the Evil God!

Wait a second...

The extraterritorial Evil God of Sword Qi Continent, the mysterious monk who struck it down...

Hiss, I understand!

Could he be my dad?

Oh no, is he Xiao Han’s dad?

Xu Shu’s eyes lit up.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t see the face clearly.

But this wasn’t a problem for Xu Shu.

He spoke up, "Dad? Is that you?"

The monk turned his head, his gaze piercing, scrutinizing, and seeing through much. He said, "I am not your dad. Your dad is a Slaanesh sub-race, or maybe you call it a Lust Demon."

Xu Shu was taken aback, then understood.

He was talking about "Alaya’s" father.

Slaanesh sub-race?

Lust Demon Clan... Slaanesh... it’s true, all these Demons are related to the real-life Abyss Demons...

Xu Shu stroked his chin, thinking this bald monk was truly formidable to see through his biological father at a glance, but he wasn’t powerful enough. Otherwise, he should have seen through his other identity with the Tai Chu Scroll.

Xu Shu remembered that Earth Store Bodhisattva seemed to have noticed a connection between "Arthur" and "Shen Valley First-class."

So this monk is inferior to Earth Store Bodhisattva?

No way, what level is Earth Store Bodhisattva? Could he single-handedly defeat this Evil God’s eyeball, which the Tai Chu Scroll labeled as a taboo deity?

It seemed Earth Store Bodhisattva couldn’t handle Althias, and Althias seemed to be dodging Izanami, who I caused to crawl out defeated...

So, according to this logic...

Xu Shu was suddenly confident: This monk can’t beat me!

[Heavenly Defiant logic, God damn it, he can’t beat you!]

[Actually, you’re very fortunate, before you couldn’t die even if you wished for it, now you certainly can. You just need to lift a finger, and you’d die right on the spot, impressive right?]

Huh, he’s actually not?

Xu Shu broke out in a slight sweat, changing the subject, "May I ask who you are? I’m a bit curious."

He couldn’t help but be honest, as the monk in front of him was very likely a Divine-level being.

And there was another possibility that he might be an existence even more powerful than a deity.

There was definitely no need to fight, but if the monk was in a good mood, he might show off a trick or two or throw some fortune my way.

Like, giving me an Evil God’s eyeball!

That’s how it’s written in the scripts, isn’t it?

This is called an adventure!

Xu Shu continued to observe the eyeball belonging to the taboo Evil God, hoping the adventure would unfold.

Bang!

Darkness fell before Xu Shu’s eyes.

He had stared at it for too long, causing his own eyeballs to explode again.

"Sorry, sorry, I was too weak. Senior, who exactly are you?"

Everyone has a Buddha nature, certainly, we are from the same sect, so Xu Shu made an attempt to establish a connection and hurriedly felt around on the ground, picking up the exploded eyeball and stuffing it back into the socket to regenerate the flesh.

The monk glanced at him, casually tucked the Evil God’s eyeball into his non-existent sleeve, and said, "Who I am is not important. What’s important is that you’re late, and more importantly, it’s coming."

Huh? Late for what? What’s coming?

What was he talking about?

Damn, is this some kind of riddle man?

Xu Shu wasn’t fond of playing guessing games, so when faced with something incomprehensible, he continued to ask in the legend:

"You kindly ask, ’Senior, why do you say that I’m late? I’m a student, teach me.’"]

"You see the riverbed in the sky, it’s dry, showing that the ocean is gone! But how can the ocean disappear? It means the sea was carried away by those four fellows, alas, a disaster," the monk replied kindly, answering your question but you seemed even more confused.]

"You talk about the sky, the sky is above us, why are you pointing at the ground?"]

"Who are those four you’re talking about?" you wondered with a frown, continuing to inquire."]

"They are chaos, as well as the Abyss! Unfortunately, I’m also late. I can’t chat with you anymore, I really have to go, it’s coming," he said."]

The monk shook his head and sighed, crouching down to tie his shoelaces. You suddenly noticed he was wearing a pair of quite good quality, stylish AJ sneakers.]

What the hell is this!

Xu Shu almost dropped the Tai Chu Scroll.

"Damn it, don’t tell me this monk is just some nonsense made up by you, Xia Ji Ba Luan? That style looks familiar; it seems like the pair I bought before I died but never wore!" Xu Shu questioned furiously.]

Heavens, you actually doubt the loyalty of the Tai Chu Scroll! Tai Chu Scroll is aggrieved; Tai Chu Scroll won’t speak!"]

Seeing this, you quickly grabbed the monk and asked, "Senior, what will happen when it comes?"]

"I’ll be fine, I can still run," the monk said, having tied his shoelaces."]

"What about me?" you asked."]

"A foolish question, you’ll clearly die. Don’t you see all the corpses on the ground? You, the younger generation, are not only unwise, but you’re also blind," said the monk."]

You realized the monk might have some cognitive disorder, as the corpses he spoke of were clearly not on the ground, but in the pitch-dark caves above.]

And the riverbed, which was clearly on the ground, he claimed was in the sky and connected to the ocean.]

Truly reversing right and wrong, black and white.]

"I will die? Senior, can you take me with you? Saving a life is greater than building a seven-story pagoda!" you pleaded desperately."]

The monk waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, that won’t do! I can barely manage myself, let alone with you. But why should I run? Can I choose not to run? Can I? No, I cannot!"]

"Damn it..." you realized that the monk might be a bit mentally unwell, no wonder he was speaking topsy-turvy, calling the ground the sky."]

"I’m leaving! Everyone to their places, ready~" the monk began chanting to himself."]

Knowing communication with him was impossible but sensing he held much knowledge, you shouted, "Senior! I am now the Rashamon Ming King, if I want to break through, what should I do?"]

"Just a moment," the monk said to the air before standing up, looking you over, nodding repeatedly, "Ah, so you’re a fellow disciple! You have a good foundation, very nice! It’s easy to talk, if you want to advance now, there’s only one way, succumb to the Demon!"]

"Succumb to the Demon?" You were first surprised, then it dawned on you. No wonder the monk was crazy; it was a relapse of past afflictions... he had succumbed to the Demon!"]

"I really must go now! Everyone to your places~ Ready~" The monk quickly squatted down, raising his behind. In a flash, a fierce wind arose, the colors of the world changed, clouds swirled down, and the massive black sphere in the sky descended at a visible speed, crashing towards you.]

"Damn, so that’s what he meant by ’it’s coming’!" you realized in an instant why you would die and frantically asked, "Wait, Senior, I still want to ask, what will happen to me if I succumb to the Demon?"]

The Rashamon Ming King is part of the Buddhist cultivation, and to think one has to succumb to the Demon at the end of such cultivation, what would become of you?]

The only answer you got was "Run!"]

Whoosh!

At the sound of the horn, the monk set off, and you couldn’t keep up with his speed even with your eyesight.]

All you saw was the incoming black sphere split into two, endless streams of chaotic space pouring out from within, threatening to swallow you whole.]

It possessed an infinity of gravitational force, an even stronger pull than the Enchanting Demon, holding you fast, unable to move.]

Worried about falling into chaos again and becoming trapped, you made a decisive decision this time, breaking your body and shutting off the power of ascending through blood and flesh before getting swallowed.]

Space’s turbulent flow tore you apart, with no flesh regenerating, your body died, and your journey ended.]

In the last moment of life, you suddenly thought, if you had shamelessly acknowledged a relationship just now, might there have been a chance for survival?]

Perhaps yes, perhaps not, who can foresee the future? That’s not important.]

Had you not chosen to act recklessly, you could naturally have lived out your days as a king among mortals. Yet, life is like a game of chess with no room for regret, and you discovered a hint of mystery in the legend. Maybe one day in the future, you might truly unravel the mystique?]

——

Wow!

Darkness was boundless, and chaos was infinite.

All worldly attachments had fallen away, and time was out of reach.

Xu Shu ended his life as Alaya Sebi, plummeting swiftly, returning to reality.

At that moment, the sun was nearing its setting, with the warm glow of the evening sun shining on the earth.

"Phew, too bad I still couldn’t break through the fifth stage, just a bit more."

"There must be a connection between Youlan Continent and Sword Qi Continent! The eye of the Evil God was actually slashed, does that mean my Thirteenth Sister might still have a chance of surviving?"

"Who knows which ruins she might be in, what a pity, a missed opportunity..."

Xu Shu sighed, gazing steadfastly ahead.

In front of him, the Tai Chu Scroll fluttered noisily:

"Calculating your legendary achievements from this journey..."
