Chapter 491: Chapter 411: Main Quest "The Strongest Is the Demon Venerable"!

Kill me?

Upon hearing the mummy say this so nonchalantly, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a jump in his heart, immediately followed by a deep sense of admiration.

The Decaying Celestial Monarch before him is a pseudo-god, created by the being who initiated the Immortal Tribulation, without a doubt.

Yet, at the same time, his personality is exactly like his true self’s, which means that in the same situation, the true self would make the same choice.

Facing death so calmly, Su Yuan asked himself, was something he could absolutely not do.

The cultivators of the older generation truly possess awe-inspiring righteousness!

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

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

Because the moment the mummy’s true identity was revealed, the other’s aura began to rise at a terrifying speed.

He, who was like a spent and withered mummy, began to revive.

Su Yuan could clearly see the other’s shriveled muscles filling out and the dried-up cultivation rising layer by layer... but the strange thing was, the mummy did not consume any energy during this revival process.

He neither tapped into the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi nor the black mud from the outside, yet power was born out of thin air.

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

Su Yuan murmured, seeing the mummy had already recovered to the Qi Cultivation Peak and could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage at any moment, he said without hesitation:

"Senior, my apologies! I will try to make your death clean, leaving no residue!"

Upon hearing this, the mummy’s lips curled into a slight smile.

By this time, his face had become full due to the replenished flesh, revealing a very handsome, youthful face full of sunshine.

Su Yuan carefully remembered that face and boldly unleashed the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder.

The next moment, centered around Su Yuan, a dark tribulation cloud enveloped the entire coffin world.

Then, a tribulation thunderbolt, about ten feet in diameter, pierced through the tribulation cloud and fell thunderously on the mummy.

A tribulation thunderbolt, over thirty meters in diameter, descended, and even though its color was purple-black, it still easily illuminated the entire small world, making it as bright as day.

Where the tribulation thunder raged, the earth and stone on the surface quickly turned into lava.

The mummy floated above the lava, enduring just the first tribulation thunder, his body was destroyed by more than two-thirds.

However, as the power of the tribulation thunder slightly subsided, he began regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Yuan said nothing, continuing to strike down the tribulation thunder relentlessly.

One massive electric dragon after another fell, giving the mummy no chance to catch a breath.

Even after the other had been struck down to a mere layer of ash, Su Yuan did not stop, continuing to strike without ceasing.

Not until all the Power of Heaven and Earth in the coffin world was exhausted and the tribulation cloud was forced to dissipate did Su Yuan finally stop.

By that time, in the area where the mummy was, a lava lake with a diameter of over a hundred meters had formed, and the mummy himself was completely obliterated without a trace.

"This pseudo-god should be considered completely killed."

After thoroughly checking the lava inside and out, confirming there was no sign of the other reviving, Su Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, a question couldn’t help but arise in his mind.

Since the pseudo-god could be killed, why did the Decaying Celestial Monarch choose to seal him?

Could it be that after the pseudo-god is completely killed, the being who initiated the Immortal Tribulation would be alerted?

Or perhaps... a new pseudo-god would appear?

Thinking of this, Su Yuan shuddered with fear, wondering if he had messed things up.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Crown of Corruption, turned into a Divine-Created Outer Pill, conveyed a thought to Su Yuan, explaining the reason for the mummy being sealed here.

Known for his robust life force among the same level of powerful beings, the Decaying Celestial Monarch’s doppelganger perfectly replicated this trait.

Therefore, even the Decaying Celestial Monarch himself couldn’t kill him in a short time and could only rely on the mighty power of time to gradually erode him.

Perhaps it wouldn’t take long before the Decaying Celestial Monarch would personally come to this secret realm to resolve this hidden danger, only now, Su Yuan had preemptively taken care of it.

However... the Crown of Corruption’s explanation didn’t negate Su Yuan’s earlier two guesses as incorrect.

In the end, Su Yuan didn’t dwell too long on this matter. The person had already been killed, what’s the point of worrying?

It was better to focus on improving himself.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan quickly scavenged all the Primordial Essence in the coffin world, intending to refine it slowly after leaving this secret realm.

Then, he took another stroll around the tomb, finding nothing of value inside. Clearly, Blood Soul True Monarch had already looted it clean.

Fortunately, he still didn’t leave empty-handed and discovered the array to open the exit of the coffin world inside the tomb.

After activating the array, a phantom door leading to the outside world appeared right before him, allowing him to leave the secret realm easily without waiting for Chen Nuoyi’s summons.

Within the Primordial Sect Headquarters on Blood Mist Island.

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

Qi Hanyan couldn’t wait to inquire about Su Yuan’s exploration results in the secret realm.

Su Yuan didn’t hold back and told everything about the mummy and the secrets the mummy revealed, leading to collective silence from Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyan, and Motis.

"Hanyan, you have Senior Senior Wuluo’s contact information, right? Inform her about the possibility of Divinity Transformation Cultivators being replaced and my method of identification."

Su Yuan looked at the pink-haired girl, speaking seriously:

"According to the doppelganger of the Decaying Celestial Monarch, the being who initiated the Immortal Tribulation only targets Divinity Transformation Cultivators, so without thorough investigation, this information must not be told to powerful beings at the Divinity Transformation level."

"And even the doppelganger’s words can’t be fully trusted. Even among Nascent Soul Cultivators, this intelligence must be passed on sparingly; the fewer people who know, the safer we’ll be."

"That’s also why I chose to directly contact Wu Luo True Monarch, instead of Captain Zhang."

After hearing this, Qi Hanyan nodded solemnly, took out a small mirror similar to a makeup mirror, and prepared to contact her mother.

But just then, the girl suddenly asked a question:

"Then... if my mother has already been swapped, what should we do?"

Oh? Very clever, being able to think of this. A sign of progress!

Su Yuan looked at the pink-haired girl with satisfaction and said calmly:

"If the person we trust the most has been swapped, then we can only consider ourselves unlucky and wait for our doom."

"Huh?"

Qi Hanyan was dumbfounded.

Su Yuan chuckled and said:

"Just kidding, after you notify Senior Wuluo, please have her avatar come over as soon as possible, so I can do some verification."

"Before the true identity of the other party is revealed, even if Senior Wuluo has been swapped, she herself would not notice."

Qi Hanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But even though Su Yuan’s method of dealing with the situation was quite appropriate, the girl still seemed flustered, subconsciously leaning towards Su Yuan.

This is normal. Anyone who knows that their dearest relative might have become someone else would feel lost and uneasy.

One hour later.

On the day of the grand wedding, he saw that elderly woman, appearing at the headquarters of Blood Mist Island.

"Senior, didn’t you say that this avatar wouldn’t last long? I thought you would come as a different avatar."

Looking at the kindly old woman in front of him, Su Yuan’s mind immediately filled with the awkwardness of the wedding day.

It’s a case of post-traumatic stress disorder.

The old woman chuckled and said:

"Just because it won’t last long doesn’t mean it has to dissipate, right? Who taught you that."

"When your phone runs out of battery, do you just throw it away? You definitely find a place to charge it. Now, this avatar is charged to about 30%, and after some time, it can continue to roam."

Su Yuan: "..."

Senior Wuluo always surpasses expectations.

"So, how about it? Have I been swapped?"

The old woman asked with a smile.

The heavens and earth at the headquarters of Blood Mist Island were already under Su Yuan’s control, so as soon as Wu Luo True Monarch arrived, he had already determined the result.

The result was quite gratifying.

After receiving Su Yuan’s confirmation that there had been no swap, everyone present breathed a significant sigh of relief.

"Su Yuan, your discovery is of great help to the continuation of the cultivation civilization, and I will give you due credit."

The old woman looked at Su Yuan appreciatively:

"And from now on, I will secretly guide the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs to meet you one by one, with some reasonable excuses, their actual forms or divinity transformations."

"I can’t say exactly when you will meet them, so please be prepared."

Although he had anticipated this to some extent, Su Yuan still felt a wave of nervousness hearing the specific directive.

After all, Divinity Transformation cultivators are closer in level and status to Immortal Gods and could crush him with a breath.

Thinking carefully, he shouldn’t have offended any Divinity Transformation cultivators, right?

No... it seems he might have.

For example, the girlfriend of Wu Luo True Monarch, Qi Hanyan’s paternal mother, Star River Daoist Lord.

Considering the relationship between Wu Luo True Monarch and Star River Daoist Lord, it’s likely that the first federation Divinity Transformation cultivator he meets will be her.

Hiss—

Doubles from both sides? Surely not!

Su Yuan drew in a sharp breath internally, suddenly feeling that his future was in jeopardy.

And just at this moment, a slight ’ding’ sounded suddenly in his ears.

[Even villains need a savior! You’ve mastered part of the Primordial Dao and finally have the power to confront the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity!]

No... Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity? Who the heck is this? Could it be the mastermind behind initiating the Immortal Tribulation?

You darn system, you’re slandering again. Who would want to butt heads with this terrifying entity that has destroyed countless cultivation civilizations?

[The Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity holds over ninety percent of the Primordial Dao and is the devil of all devils. To become a Demon Venerable, you must compete with them in a battle of the Dao!]

Goodness, is this really the high goal you’ve set for me?

I thought reaching Divinity Transformation would be remarkable enough, but right from the start, you planned for me to take on the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, who’s above Divinity Transformation?

[Main quest ’Whoever is strong is the Demon Venerable’ has been updated!]

[Task one: Catch the insider (in progress)]

[Please use the power of the Primordial Dao wisely to find the insiders that the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity has planted in the Cultivation Realm, at least three!]

[Task progress: Discover pseudo-gods (0/3)]

[Task reward: Randomly replicate one of Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s abilities*1]
