Chapter 328: Chapter 317: The Extreme Uncertainty of Being Unlucky!_2

He intended to do something afterwards, but before he could get started, the old-headed guy he did not get along with came knocking at his door, wanting a friendly dialogue.

After a couple of collisions, various old injuries from years past were triggered, and he ultimately had to give up.

This was simply too much to bear. To humiliate him for some trash who had received an inheritance and was doomed to be ordinary was outrageous!

If it were a few years earlier, he would have drawn him into his Demonic Eye Jade Gourd and turned him into a gourdful of blood water to enrich the fields!!!

It was as if bad luck followed him everywhere, even drinking cold water would cause a toothache.

What was even more unacceptable was that, due to the Bone Soul Sect constantly stirring things up recently, it seemed like the war was about to reignite, the exploration of the Fox Language Demon Forest was likely to be put on hold.

He could find another way for opening the vein, but once the expansion project was put on hold, who knew when it would be picked up again.

Without a large number of fresh resources, where would his Yue Family find the resources for future Infant Spirits? Would they raid the Devil Gate?

Even if this happened, would the Yue Family, with its few members, be able to produce an Infant God?

With everything going against him, it seemed like the former dark injuries were about to relapse in a formidable resurgence.

The demon eye on his life-bound magic treasure, the Green Jade Gourd with Magic Eye, was increasingly unstable, staring at him with a sinister smile every day!

He knew that even with his level of cultivation and age, it was inevitable that one would encounter various physical issues.

Over the past thousand years, his body had accumulated too much filth and had too many issues!

But unless he saw an Infant God seedling appear in his family, he would not accept fate. Even if he became a Mad Demon clinging to life, he would carve out a future for his family!

When his grandfather handed over the prosperous Yue Family to him, he never succeeded in taking it to greater heights, but he couldn’t let it slide into decline during his time.

At a great expense, he once again asked Brother Liu of the Pill Institute to concoct a batch of injury healing pills and a batch of spirit-nourishing pills.

He was very careful with them and hardly ever went out.

······

That day, Yue Changqing was meditating and healing his wounds as usual.

However, he felt an inexplicable restlessness in his mind, with an overwhelming sense of impending disaster.

Just then, he made a mistake while practicing due to the anxiety, which triggered his injuries.

"Cough cough!"

A bout of rapid coughing spurted out with patches of dark filthy bloodstains oozing from the corners of his mouth.

The blood clumped and wriggled, with the flesh sprouting and entangling into a bunch of tiny eye beads, all staring at him with madness.

"Damn it!"

Yue Changqing crushed the blood eye beads into powder with a curse and was about to continue meditating when he suddenly felt something odd about his body, as if some foreign power was eroding him.

With a slight change in his complexion, his eyes sparkled with spiritual light, and the demon pupil on the gourd inside his body opened as well, exerting a powerful detection pupil surgery scanning his entire body.

Even though no issues were found, he instinctively sensed a problem.

He decisively activated his Life-bound Magic, covering his entire body.

Perhaps due to the special nature of his Demonic Eye Gourd, in that instant, he perceived an erosion, an incredibly wicked power he’d never encountered before that was quietly infecting him.

To be precise, it wasn’t that he perceived it. But when he used magic to cover his whole body, the power infected his magic, and that’s how he found out.

With a drastic change in his appearance, he mobilized all his strength to resist.

"Who is the scoundrel? Show yourself immediately!"

With a stern shout that echoed throughout the secular courtyard, Yue Changqing’s spiritual light skyrocketed, but to little effect.

He was terrified as he sensed his body gradually eroding.

"Puff!"

Among the struggle of two forces, something even more unexpected happened.

As if his ill luck had not abated, the main force of his defense, his Innate Life Magic Treasure, the Demonic Eye Jade Gourd, showed its problem at this moment. It was as if it had come to life, helping the power to corrode him!

The battlefield was his body, with three forces battling for his Innate Life Magic Treasure and Dao Foundation, constantly pulling to and fro.

Already in a very unfortunate situation, his body, already like a rag doll, collapsed like dominos starting from the previous wound, triggering a domino effect.

It spread throughout the body at incredible speed.

The unexpected change happened so swiftly, spreading throughout his entire body in the blink of an eye.

He watched helplessly as the power in his magic treasure split into battling factions, his body collapsed. Just as he was about to turn around and heal, the eroding force, as if conscious, accelerated fiercely.

Yue Changqing, who wanted to hold on to two things at once, ended up not holding onto anything.

Under his terrified gaze, he was utterly consumed by something.

Then, he felt something trying to infiltrate his body from the void, but he was powerless to resist.

At this moment, the collapse and transformation of his body had also reached its final stage.

"Pop!"

Following a light sound, Yue Changqing saw his life-bound magic treasure shatter into several pieces. Consciousness completely lost, his aged body, too, was devoid of life.

A great cultivator once at the infant spirit level, a big shot who had ruled a clan for more than nine hundred years, had fallen unexpectedly and insignificantly.

The entire Yue family had just been alarmed by his fierce rebuke, but before they could rush to the retreat of their ancestor.

"Pop!"

As a light sound rang out, a strange wave spread, enveloping the entire Secular Courtyard in the blink of an eye, and continued to expand.

A sense of desolation permeated everyone’s hearts. The flowers, grasses, and trees in the surroundings all wilted simultaneously, and the surroundings faded to gloom, as if the world itself was mourning.

"This is... divine fall? Patriarch!"

The color drained drastically from the face of Dean Yue Baishou of the Secular Courtyard as he rushed towards Yue Changqing’s place of retreat.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

Meanwhile, in the blood-red sea of consciousness of the demon, Wang Zijia first sensed some resistance, followed by a roar, and then the resistive force quickly weakened. Someone even began to help him.

Such chaos!

Wang Zijia, baffled, took the opportunity to beat someone when they were down. After he completed the demonic seed invasion, he quickly wanted to infiltrate the other’s Chaotic Sea of Knowledge, planning to incapacitate them first.

The blood-red book brought him into what seemed to be a strange Chaotic Sea of Knowledge in a daze.

"Pop!"

Before he could react, following a light sound, he felt as if he had been suddenly kicked, something striking him. Under the great force, he was sent flying back the way he had come.

During the daze, in the twinkling of an eye, he saw countless light orbs floating in an endless chaos sea. Transparent, pitch black, and most eye-catching of all, crimson red.

One of the orbs suddenly shattered, a streak of light striking his just-entered self and sending him back.

Little ripples were raised in the chaos sea. Together with the exploding orb, a green gourd with a single eye also exploded.

One of the streaks of light was the culprit that had kicked Wang Zijia back, and it was no accident or coincidence. It seemed to have purposely slammed into him as it shattered!!!

Luckily, the red copper weights on the book cover flickered, as the streak of light struck the book.

With the book cover, two red copper weights, and the shining Golden Balance, he was kicked back unscathed. Not only was there no trace of pain, he even felt a bit comfortable.

It was as if this kick had hit some strange pleasurable spot on him. He felt physically and mentally relaxed, with no damage done to his power.

But just as he retreated back to the blood-colored Sea of Consciousness, the aftershock of the force that had kicked him back caused the entire blood-colored space to shatter instantly.

And so, with that streak of light, Wang Zijia was kicked back to reality through two continuous kicks.

...

Outside, the five immortal children were still exhaling ghost fog, with countless filthy auras continually pouring into the Demon’s Corpse at the center, transforming into cursed nourishment.

"Pop!"

A strange light sound echoed in everyone’s ears, and the Five Immortal Children, along with the five people inside their bodies–including Jiang Mingda, watched in horror.

The demon at the center of the altar directly disintegrated into a sea of spiritual light with no trace left. Not only that, but the altar it was connected to was also visibly collapsing.

A figure stumbled out of the void, looking exceptionally flustered as it dashed towards the edge of the small town.

The frightened Five Immortal Children, seeing this, immediately followed suit and quickly retreated.
