Chapter 403: Chapter 169: Time Will Come._4
“When paired with entries that can interact with evil energy and resentful energy, both cultivation speed and strength are far superior to that of fellow cultivators.”
“To generate a massive amount of evil energy and resentful energy, you slaughtered countless mortals, and it wasn’t just a slaughter; you tortured every single one of them.”
“Gouging eyes, human pigs, slow slicing, cutting off fingers, flaying.”
“Beyond the physical pain, you chose to defile wives in front of their husbands, kill children before the elderly, and force people to kill their own family members.”
“By various means, you generate a vast amount of resentful energy, thereby significantly improving the cultivation progress of the disciples of the Evil Ghost Sect.”
“What do you think?”
...
Chen Qiu raised his head to look at the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect and calmly asked, “Do you feel wronged?”
“Not at all.”
The Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect did not retort but just stood atop the mountain with a grim expression, staring fixedly at Chen Qiu as waves of evil energy surged from him, suppressing the fury and indignation inside him: “But what has that got to do with you?”
“The Evil Ghost Sect only kills mortals within its own territory and has never gone to other places.”
“Your benevolence is so vast, could you possibly protect all the mortals in the world?”
“Or do you think that after obtaining billions of virtue points and topping the Xuantian Continent’s virtue rankings, you really believe you are a Heavenly Dao Saint, obliged to take on the responsibility of sheltering all the mortals in the world? Don’t forget,”
“you not only topped the virtue rankings of the Xuantian Continent, but on the Xuantian Continent’s sin rankings, you are also the leader.”
“If you want to use executing the will of Heaven as an excuse to exterminate us, the ‘Evil Ghost Sect,’ I do not accept this reason. My sin value is not even one percent of yours, aren’t you the one that should be exterminated?”
…
“No, you are wrong.”
Overwhelming Spiritual Energy gradually emerged from Chen Qiu’s body. Unbeknownst to the Evil Ghost Sect, thick clouds had formed above their Sect Master’s head, and a storm followed, howling its arrival.
The whistling of the wind made the already tense atmosphere even tenser, and a chilling presence filled the air.
Chen Qiu looked at the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect, now full of rage, and shook his head as he whispered.
“You want to argue with me again.”
“I told you long ago, my way is that if you can’t defeat me, you must die.”
The next moment—
Countless Thunder Dragons appeared from nowhere and enveloped the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect on the mountaintop!
“Boom!!”
In the deafening explosion, the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect, enveloped in rich evil energy, seemed somewhat disordered in breath, but still fairly well, burst out of the explosion.
Holding two orbs of evil fire that turned into Liu Guang, he shot towards the distance and hurled the evil fire towards Chen Qiu with a sinister laugh.
“Are you really that confident?”
“Heavenly Evil Domain!!!”
The next moment—
The thick evil energy instantly enveloped the entire Evil Ghost Sect, instantly reducing visibility, and from within the evil energy, the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling could occasionally be heard.
Chen Qiu’s eyes narrowed slightly. In this environment, he could clearly feel that he was unable to absorb the nature’s spiritual energy from the outside world. The entire Evil Ghost Sect seemed to be instantly pulled into a small world.
His Divine Sense couldn’t probe outwards, and the figure of the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect also instantly disappeared from the spot.
“…”
He frowned slightly and, after effortlessly blocking the two streams of evil fire with the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, he looked around.
Domain?
Isn’t this a method only available to the Divinity Transformation Stage? The Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect is merely at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, and that too after a failed breakthrough, yet he now possesses such a technique. However, upon closer inspection, this domain seems rather rough.
It barely manages to create a domain filled with evil energy, pushing out the nature’s spiritual energy, making it impossible for cultivators other than the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect to recover their Spiritual Energy, and then hides in the shadows as the Divine Sense cannot scout out. This Domain is far inferior to those of the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Once a Divine Domain is fully deployed, the effects are much more intense than this.
However…
Chen Qiu shook his head, as he had just used a mere tenth of his Spiritual Energy. His cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul, having advanced too fast, and now he wasn’t even sure about the extent of his power.
But with just one-tenth of his Spiritual Energy powering the Thunder Summoning Technique, the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect seemed to be struggling, his breath somewhat chaotic.
It seems that his strength might be even stronger than he imagined.
And at that moment—
“Chen Qiu!”
Within the evil energy-filled domain, came the voice of the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect who seemed quite smug: “Do you think I’ve been avoiding you all this time because I’m afraid of you?”
“I just didn’t want to use this imperfect domain technique prematurely; it could easily backlash against the Nascent Soul!”
“But since you have angered me, let me show you what I’m capable of!”
“This Domain is a Divinity Transformation technique. Although I didn’t succeed in my forced breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage last time, I was lucky enough to grasp a trace of the Domain!”
“With your cultivation lower than mine, you will never be able to break through my Domain.”
“You can only be trapped here forever.”
“There is no real enmity between us, so why don’t we just let this go? How about that?”
“I won’t trouble you, and you had better not come looking for me. There are so many Evil Sects in Quzhou—do you think you can visit them all, Chen Qiu?”
…
Although the Sect Master of the Evil Ghost Sect’s voice was full of smugness, his hidden figure was actually deathly pale, his whole arm trembling.
Domain is a unique technique for those at the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Forcing it with his Nascent Soul pinnacle cultivation, especially since he had suffered a fall to his realm, the backlash was considerable.
The corners of his mouth even oozed traces of blood.
He could support it for at most a hundred breaths.
This Domain of his, if he were to fully activate it after breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, would send endless resentful spirits and demons in a Night Parade of Hundred Demons continuously storming towards Chen Qiu!
But now…
Owing to the Domain’s immaturity, it only had two effects.
One was to expel all of nature’s spiritual energy, leaving only Evil Energy, and the other was to allow himself to hide in the shadows.
He took a deep breath.
Forcing his voice to sound calmer and not reveal his weakness, he realized something when Chen Qiu’s Thunder Dragon enveloped him.
He couldn’t win against Chen Qiu in a direct fight.
Compete in Nascent Soul?
How could his Nascent Soul compete with a Heavenly Dao Top Grade Nascent Soul, what a joke!
And just what was up with Chen Qiu anyway? Wasn’t he only certified as a Nascent Soul with a Heavenly Dao Top Grade Nascent Soul three days ago? How could it be that in just three days, he’d directly reached the fifth layer of Nascent Soul, damn it?
One small realm advancement per day?
And that’s not all?
The fastest way to increase one’s cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage is with a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul Cultivation Pill, but even if you popped those pills like candy beans…
You couldn’t possibly enhance your cultivation to the fifth layer of Nascent Soul in just three days!
He had already firmly decided in his heart.
If he could scare Chen Qiu away later, he would leave the Evil Ghost Sect for good, no, he would leave Quzhou altogether. Things had been strangely off in Quzhou lately, too peculiar.
This was clearly no longer a place for humans.

When Evil State had been annihilated, he had already considered retreating, because never in his life had he heard of an entire state being shattered and merging into the ocean.
It was utterly preposterous!
But he hesitated because, after all, his hundred-year foundation was in the Evil Ghost Sect.
Yet just a few days’ hesitation…
And now he couldn’t leave. If he could escape this time, he definitely would. To hell with the Evil Ghost Sect, whoever loves it can have it. The most important thing is to survive; all else is illusory.
…
“…”
Leaning on the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, Chen Qiu listened to the voice of the Evil Ghost Sect Master coming from within the Evil Energy; his Divine Sense could not penetrate, nor could he determine the exact location of the Evil Ghost Sect Master.
But…
It didn’t matter.
He wasn’t the kind of magic practitioner who needed to lock onto someone with Divine Sense before he could kill them.
The next moment—
A massive and overwhelming amount of Spiritual Energy surged wildly, a storm howled forth, enveloping the entire Heavenly Evil Domain like a miniature version of the Thunder Punishment.
Tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons roared furiously within the Domain, carrying a terrifying might.
This scene!
It was as if it were reenacting the event once witnessed in the sky above Evil State!
Divine Punishment descended with lightning fury!
