The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

195: Southern Cold Immortal Realm, Extreme Cold Forbidden Zone”Senior Qin, you said the Son of the Great Dao in the Southern Cold Immortal Domain also has a Dao Exhaustion Existence behind him.”

”And that Dao Exhaustion Existence wants to join forces with us to capture the ancient existences in the River of Time, to push the Son of the Great Dao’s cultivation to Dao Exhaustion as quickly as possible.”

”Then, once the Son of the Great Dao achieves the Dao Exhaustion Realm, he can use special methods to drain the Hongmeng Sea?”

”So, you agreed to join forces with that Dao Exhaustion Existence?”

Long Qinghong frowned in displeasure, his voice very loud.

He always felt that King Qin the Slaughterer had unilaterally agreed to join forces with that mysterious Dao Exhaustion Existence without his consent.

This made him very unhappy, as if his title of Myriad Worlds Alliance Leader was just for show.

”Brother Long, don’t be so anxious. Senior Qin might have his own considerations.”

Wei Mingyu, fearing that Long Qinghong’s words would offend King Qin the Slaughterer, subconsciously tugged at his sleeve to persuade him.

Long Qinghong also realized his voice was a bit loud, but he didn’t cower and still stared intently at King Qin the Slaughterer.

Chu Daoren, Yi Tianguang, and King Qin the Slaughterer exchanged smiles, not angered by Long Qinghong’s rudeness.

King Qin the Slaughterer, instead, laughed and said, ”Of course, I have other motives for agreeing to join forces with that mysterious Dao Exhaustion Existence.”

”After we assist that Dao Exhaustion Existence and help the Son of the Great Dao achieve Dao Exhaustion.”

”Then, after the Son of the Great Dao uses special methods to drain the Hongmeng Sea.”

”We will then act against the Son of the Great Dao and strip away the power within him.”

”The power within the Son of the Great Dao can help the two of you, along with Xiao Yifan, Chu Xuankong, and Lin Qingyuan—five people in total—complete the Path of Transcendence.”

”Besides helping the five of you complete the Path of Transcendence, there will still be a lot of Hongmeng Sea’s power left within the Son of the Great Dao.”

”At that time, I, along with the Asura God Lord and the Tianyun God Lord, can use the remaining power to try and research a new Realm.”

King Qin the Slaughterer explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Long Qinghong felt a bit better.

So, he had overthought things; King Qin the Slaughterer had other objectives in doing this.

”So that’s how it is...”

After speaking.

Long Qinghong fell silent. Although he was arrogant and uninhibited, he was also somewhat worried about whether they might suffer an unexpected setback.

King Qin the Slaughterer saw Long Qinghong fall silent, patted his shoulder, and laughed heartily:

”Don’t worry! No one dares to contend with you for the position of Alliance Leader!”

”You and Wei Mingyu go give orders for your subordinates to capture the ancient existences in the River of Time.”

”As for other matters, I, the Asura God Lord, and the Tianyun God Lord will make the arrangements.”

Hearing this, Long Qinghong nodded and turned to leave.

Wei Mingyu cupped his fists at the three of them and quickly followed Long Qinghong’s departing steps.

Yi Tianguang and Chu Daoren, seeing this, couldn’t help but sigh, ”We both said back then that Long Qinghong’s arrogance knew no bounds.”

”His becoming the Myriad Worlds Alliance Leader might hinder many of our plans.”

”Now he dares to question our decisions like this; what if he steps into the Dao Exhaustion Realm?”

A sigh echoed.

King Qin the Slaughterer looked at Yi Tianguang and Chu Daoren, shaking his head, ”Many members of the Myriad Worlds Alliance are Disciples of Shanqiong Cave.”

”So let’s not overthink it. Currently, no one is more suitable for the Alliance Leader position than Long Qinghong.”

”Once the plan to assassinate the Son of the Great Dao is complete, we’ll see the outcome, and then we’ll consider whether or not to disband the Myriad Worlds Alliance.”

At this point, King Qin the Slaughterer stopped speaking and slowly left the Dao Source Palace.

Yi Tianguang and Chu Daoren, seeing King Qin the Slaughterer leave, also found it difficult to dwell on the matter of the Myriad Worlds Alliance Leader.

After all, behind Long Qinghong were two incredibly ancient Dao Exhaustion Existences.

Moreover, Master Wu Yan and Cave Master Shan Qiong were truly genuine Dao Exhaustion living fossils.

Compared to Yi Tianguang, Chu Daoren, and King Qin the Slaughterer, who broke through with external forces, they were naturally no match for true Dao Exhaustion Existences.

Therefore, they dared not openly criticize Long Qinghong and could only temporarily abandon the idea of abolishing the Myriad Worlds Alliance Leader position.

”Let’s go, let’s go to the Southern Cold Immortal Domain and see who that mysterious Dao Exhaustion individual is.”

Chu Daoren suddenly spoke.

Yi Tianguang said nothing, nodding his head in agreement. The two walked out of the Dao Source Palace, their forms shifting as they left Penglai Immortal Island... Southern Cold Immortal Domain.

Hundreds of thousands of years after the New Era, a very famous ”Extreme Cold Forbidden Zone” appeared.

The forbidden zone’s sky was perpetually dim, with leaden clouds hanging low like an iron curtain. Occasionally, blood-colored lightning tore through the sky, but it failed to illuminate this forsaken land.

At the desolate core of this region stood a daunting mountain range... Wuheng Mountain.

The mountain body was rugged, entirely an ominous dark purple, as if formed from congealed foul blood and ancient resentment.

Looking around, not a trace of green could be seen; no vegetation could survive on it, and even the most resilient moss avoided it.

The surface of the mountain rocks was covered with twisted patterns, like countless screaming ghost faces eternally branded within, silently narrating despair.

What truly made Wuheng Mountain a Forbidden Ground in the Southern Cold Immortal Domain was the boundless Devilish Qi that perpetually enveloped and surged through it.

This Devilish Qi was not simply black or gray, but a constantly shifting, chaotic color.

At times, it was as black as an abyss; at other times, it gleamed with eerie phosphorescent green; and at still other times, it emitted a heart-stopping dark red, as if life breathed and whispered within it.

The Devilish Qi was not still; it darted and flowed like living things, forming enormous whirlpools.

It also resembled countless invisible tentacles, greedily reaching out into the space surrounding the mountain.

The most terrifying aspect of this Devilish Qi was its ability to directly erode the mind of living beings.

It could not only brutally destroy the physical body of any creature but also, like the most cunning venomous snake, silently burrow into the sea of Divine Sense.

Initially, those who approached might only feel a subtle, faint irritation, with tiny, seductive whispers echoing in their ears, stirring the deepest desires and obsessions within their hearts.

As the stay lengthened, the whispers would turn into sharp shrieks.

Countless chaotic thoughts would surge like a tide, memories would become fragmented, and the dam of reason would begin to crack.

There was once an Immortal King who, disbelieving and relying on his profound cultivation, ventured into the Extreme Cold Forbidden Zone, attempting to ascend Wuheng Mountain to seek the so-called ”Heaven-Defying Opportunity.”

But that Immortal King only lasted half a day on the outer foothills. Upon his return, he was completely insane, his eyes bloodshot.

One moment he would laugh uncontrollably, claiming to have glimpsed the ultimate Dao; the next, he would curl up and tremble, wailing that countless demonic shadows were gnawing at his Divine Soul.

He eventually destroyed his immortal foundation in madness, his Dao extinguished and his body perished. Before his death, he used his fingernails to carve unrecognizable, frenzied symbols onto the stone wall.

Furthermore, there were rumors that some who were completely swallowed by the Devilish Qi would become Puppets knowing only slaughter.

Their consciousness would be occupied by the ancient malevolence within the Devilish Qi, becoming walking dead guarding this demonic mountain, never to achieve transcendence.

Therefore, within a million-mile radius of Wuheng Mountain, human traces were rare, and birds and beasts were absent.

Even the evil cultivators in the Southern Cold Immortal Domain who practiced Demonic Techniques and acted erratically kept their distance from this place, viewing it as an untouchable taboo.
