Chapter 455: Chapter 185: Netherworld Venerable Lord Sacrifice, Surging Killing Intent, One Palm to Pacify Heaven
’Unfortunately, it was still too late...’
"Everything in this world has its own trajectory of fate. What those in the Celestial Destiny Realm can glimpse is merely the surface."
"Venerable Bai You should be aware of this as well."
"There has never been anyone in this world who was ’supposed’ to be killed by you. There are only people you wanted to kill."
Su Bai stood atop the city wall, gazing out at the mist-shrouded Netherworld:
"What you seek is nothing more than the Netherworld Venerable Lord Sacrifice."
"And as for the offering... I shall be it!"
The Netherworld Venerable Lord Sacrifice!
As early as eight years ago, when he met the Linjiang Daoist in Ning Village, he had already learned of the Netherworld Venerable Lord Sacrifice’s existence.
In the years since, he had gradually come to understand this great sacrifice that Bai You had been plotting for a thousand years.
What it was for, and what it required.
Unfortunately, the scenes he had witnessed within Chen Shaoyou’s memories showed that this Netherworld Venerable Lord Sacrifice had ultimately failed.
Upon hearing this, Bai You’s eyebrows shot up. A hint of malice and killing intent surfaced in his cold gaze:
"You’ll be it!?"
Su Bai met Bai You’s gaze and stated indifferently:
"I will be it."
Bai You stared at Su Bai for a long moment before his eyes finally shifted slightly:
"You can’t afford to be."
But Su Bai’s expression was calm.
"How will we know if we don’t try?"
"Try?"
"I have plotted for this sacrifice for over sixteen hundred years, and you say ’let’s try’?"
Bai You suddenly broke into a smile.
His laughter was cruel, his expression savage!
"Who do you think you are!?"
Bai You’s voice was neither loud nor soft.
But as it spread in all directions, the massive Netherworld Giant City began to tremble.
Across ten thousand miles of sky, a gloomy mist surged as if the entire Netherworld moved with his emotions.
Within a radius of tens of millions of miles from the Netherworld Giant City, countless Demon Ghosts shrieked hysterically, as if sensing the end of the world, and fled in all directions.
Jin Yunfeng and the others, who were being besieged by numberless Demon Ghosts, all felt their hearts shudder.
They looked into the distance.
The entire Netherworld had erupted into chaos. An endless tide of yin energy came rolling in.
The sky for tens of millions of miles was stirred into something like a thick paste.
Faintly, they could sense an indescribable, bone-chilling killing intent about to erupt.
’Such powerful killing intent...’
A chill spread through Jin Yunfeng’s heart. He gazed at the Netherworld Giant City and muttered to himself:
"Venerable Bai You..."
This killing intent was both restrained and blatant, containing a cold ruthlessness that could extinguish all life, a feeling that nothing was beyond being killed.
Anyone who sensed it felt their Heart Spirit tremble.
Throughout history, only one person had ever possessed such killing intent.
Bai You!
The indescribable killing intent blanketed the Netherworld like a canopy, leaving countless Demon Ghosts aghast, terrified, and horrified.
And yet, atop the city wall, Su Bai—his robes fluttering and long hair whipping in the wind—showed no change in expression.
Su Bai flicked his sleeve and spoke slowly:
"In this world, spending a long time preparing for something has never guaranteed its success."
"Why not let me try? What do you think, Venerable?"
"Hahaha!"
Bai You suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his voice shaking the sky and earth. His expression was wild, yet indifferent:
"Do you think I don’t dare to kill you!?"
"Venerable Bai You’s killing intent has always been number one in the world. I am hardly anyone of consequence; of course you would dare to kill me."
Su Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze profound.
In the past eight years, he had captured countless criminals. Without exception, deep within their memories lay a profound fear and reverence for the legendary Venerable Bai You.
Throughout history, the title of the most bloodthirsty person in this world was no empty claim.
Regardless of good or evil, Buddhist Dao or Human-Demon.
With such terrifying killing intent, there was naturally no one in the world he wouldn’t dare to kill.
Su Bai didn’t believe that the Shelter of the Netherworld Venerable Lord would make Bai You so wary that he wouldn’t dare to strike.
It was just that...
"It’s just that..."
A slight smile touched the corners of Su Bai’s mouth:
"Venerable Bai You, why don’t you make a bet with me?"
"Let’s just see if you can kill me."
WHOOSH!
The moment these words were spoken, the world fell deathly silent.
As Bai You’s laughter ceased,
a world-ending, frigid current seemed to fill the void, freezing everything solid.
Jin Yunfeng and the others, tens of thousands of miles away, were instantly unable to move. They could only stare helplessly at the scene unfolding between heaven and earth.
The countless fleeing Demon Ghosts were also frozen in place, as if they had been turned into ice sculptures.
"Heh!"
In the instant of silence, after that single sneer, the endless frigid current transformed into a monstrous sea of fire.
The sea of fire spread uncontrollably!
A hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles...
In a flash, it seemed to reach everywhere.
To the naked eye, the void itself was visibly wrinkling under the scorching heat of the flames.
It was even being pierced straight through!
WHOOSH!!
Amidst the swirling yin wind, Bai You’s white hair flew like flames, and his pure white eyes shone as brilliantly as the great sun:
"How long has it been since someone last provoked me..."
An overwhelmingly tyrannical killing intent instantly swept across more than a hundred thousand miles of the void. The yin energy burned, the world seethed, and all things wailed in agony.
Bai You remained seated cross-legged, unmoving, only slowly raising his palm.
But this single, insignificant motion of raising a hand was enough to warp the void near the gate tower, as if it were being compressed by an endlessly tyrannical power.
At the same time, in Su Bai’s eyes, the void underwent a drastic transformation.
Bai You’s not-so-large body seemed to be expanding without limit. In a mere instant, it felt as if it would fill the entire world.
Immense and towering!
Originally, the two of them were separated by only dozens of yards.
