339: Chapter 339 What is the most desperate way to die!
Hearing Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's sighing 'Three Eyes' and that familiar tone, Three Eyes' enormous body trembled violently.
The vertical mark on his brow flashed frantically, as if a third eye wanted to force itself open, but was suppressed by some power.
In his pure purple eyes, coldness and chaos receded like a tide, replaced by an overwhelming sense of grievance and dependence that almost solidified.
"Brother Dayu!" Three Eyes' voice suddenly rose, choked with sobs, forming an absurd and shocking contrast with his terrifying Demon Venerable image. "You're not dead?! It's really you! It's really you!!"
He no longer cared about the others in the arena, his massive body suddenly leaned forward, as if to pounce on the tiny Immortal Venerable phantom in front of Fu Tianming's glabella, like a cub pouncing on its mother.
Fu Tianming's eyelids twitched wildly, and he instinctively wanted to retreat.
What a joke!
This was a demonic body in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!
Even an unconscious movement would bring enough pressure and potential spatial collapse to give him a hard time!
Fortunately, the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable phantom raised his hand in time, making a calming gesture.
Three Eyes' massive movement immediately stopped, but he still eagerly brought his huge, demon-marked head closer. Two dark purple tears actually rolled from his purple eyes, splattering onto the ground.
Like a child who had suffered endlessly and finally found a parent, his voice was choked and hoarse, yet carried a strange dependence:
"Brother Dayu... where have you been all these years? I couldn't find you!"
The Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's phantom seemed to solidify a bit more. His illusory hand gently reached out, caressing Three Eyes' head:
"I... had some accident, and only this wisp of remnant thought remains in this young friend's Sea of Consciousness. These years, you've suffered, Three Eyes."
He paused, his voice becoming even gentler, carrying a comforting power: "As for my departure... it was to find a way to help you 'go home'. Now, there are some clues, and soon... perhaps you can return to where you belong."
"As for my departure... it was to find a way to help you 'go home'. Now, there are some clues, and soon... perhaps you can return to where you belong."
"Go home?" A trace of confusion flashed in Three Eyes' huge eyes, immediately replaced by a deeper longing. "Really? Brother Dayu... I can go home?"
"Mm." Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable affirmed.
Just then, a figure in a green robe silently appeared not far from Fu Tianming's side.
His face held curiosity, his gaze sweeping between the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable phantom and the massive Three Eyes, finally resting on Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable, and he spoke:
"This is...?"
His appearance made Three Eyes glance at him warily, but seeing Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's calming gesture, he merely let out a low snort, making no other moves.
Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable looked at Su Mo, his blurred face seemingly revealing a smile:
"Young friend Su, you make me laugh. This is 'Three Eyes', considered... a little fellow I accidentally picked up ten thousand years ago."
Su Mo nodded slightly, observing Three Eyes with interest:
"I can tell, he should be a Demon Race member from the Heavenly Demon Realm. But he also has immortal essence within him, so perhaps 'Fallen Demon' is a more appropriate term."
"Fallen Demon?" Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable repeated the term, a flash of contemplation in his eyes. "That name is indeed very apt."
The Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable phantom nodded slightly, his gaze flowing between Su Mo and Three Eyes:
"Young friend Su walks the Dao of 'Fallen Immortal', with immortal essence as his foundation, yet he can control and even transform Devilish Qi for his own use. As for Three Eyes, he is essentially a demon, but within his demonic body, immortal essence has accumulated, leading him onto the path of 'Fallen Demon'."
His illusory finger gently pointed at Three Eyes' massive dark golden body, then at Su Mo:
"One is an immortal who fell to be used by demons, the other is a demon who fell to absorb immortal essence. Seemingly opposite, they are in fact on the same path. This makes this old man wonder, why can forces as opposing as immortal and demon coexist in their fundamental nature?"
A glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and he immediately caught the implied conjecture in Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's words:
"You mean... immortal power and demonic power might not be inherently opposed, but rather originate from the same source?"
"Indeed." Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's phantom spoke with conviction. "This old man believes that the currently opposing Immortal and Demon Realms were originally one before an unexaminable epoch. They were only later separated by a powerful being using great strength."
Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked directly:
"Aren't you afraid of angering that being and being completely erased?"
Upon hearing this, Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable showed no fear; instead, his blurred face revealed a fervent expression:
"To hear the Dao in the morning, and die in the evening, is enough. If I can glimpse a sliver of the world's true nature, even if my form and spirit are destroyed, never to return, this old man... will have no regrets!"
This obsession with the Dao moved Su Mo.
He said no more, merely nodded gently.
This conversation came to an end, and Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's phantom turned his gaze to Fu Tianming, his tone returning to peace:
"Young friend, do you need this old man's assistance with your personal vendetta? Although Three Eyes' strength has not fully recovered, dealing with these two Peak Golden Immortals whose Origin is greatly damaged is more than enough."
Fu Tianming took a deep breath:
"Thank you, Senior, for your kindness! But this grudge... Junior wishes to settle it personally! Only by personally reclaiming the pain they inflicted upon me, with interest, can truly quell the obsession in my heart!"
"Good."
Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable no longer insisted. His phantom nodded slightly and stood quietly to the side, becoming a bystander to this revenge battle, just like Su Mo.
Fu Tianming turned, his scarlet eyes firmly fixed on Li Juexin and Bi Lin, whose faces were ashen.
He took step after step forward, his pace steady and full of pressure.
Li Juexin watched the approaching shadow of death, his eyes meeting Bi Lin's. Both saw utter despair in the other's eyes, but from the depths of that despair, a desperate madness suddenly erupted.
"Fu Tianming!" Li Juexin hissed, his voice distorted by weakness and excitement, yet carrying a twisted mockery. "Today's situation, we lost! Lost utterly! I admit it!"
He stared fixedly at Fu Tianming, his eyes venomous like a spitting snake:
"But! You want to kill us with your own hands? Want to enjoy the pleasure of slowly torturing us and watching us wail and beg for mercy? Hahaha... you wish! Even if we die, we'll die by our own hands! We will never let you have your way!"
Before his words finished, he exchanged a look with Bi Lin, and a resolute death wish flashed in both their eyes simultaneously.
They no longer tried to resist or escape. Instead, they fully concentrated their minds, frantically reversing and compressing all their remaining immortal essence, vital essence blood, and even the Origin of their Divine Soul!
They were going to self-destruct!
To end their own lives before Fu Tianming could personally enact his revenge!
Even if it couldn't kill Fu Tianming, it would prevent him from taking revenge with his own hands, leaving his revenge incomplete!
"Let's go... together!" Li Juexin embraced Bi Lin tightly.
"Juexin!" Bi Lin likewise hugged him back tightly.
Just as the destructive energy within their bodies was about to break through the critical point and unleash its final radiance—
Su Mo, who had been standing quietly by, suddenly raised his right hand slightly, his index and middle fingers together, and casually pointed into the air in the direction of Li Juexin and Bi Lin.
Two wisps of Chaos Qi, as fine as hair, silently shot from his fingertips, instantly vanishing into Li Juexin and Bi Lin's bodies.
The next moment.
The crazed, resolute smiles on Li Juexin and Bi Lin's faces suddenly froze!
The energy within their bodies, which had reached its peak of frenzy, was instantly neutralized.
"You... you..."
Li Juexin's lips trembled as he looked at Su Mo, his eyes filled with unbelievable horror and venom.
Su Mo, however, didn't even bother to look at them again.
He turned to Fu Tianming, his tone carrying a hint of urgency:
"Old Fu, stop dawdling, get it over with."
Upon hearing this, the sinister and charming smile on Fu Tianming's face fully bloomed.
"Want to die?" Fu Tianming's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of playfulness. "Then I'll personally satisfy you..."
