The Black Lotus Eclipse - Chapter 10

Di Shu’s brows furrowed slightly.

I formed a hand seal, gathering Karmic Fire in my palm. Zhuo Yuan blocked me: “Qing Wu, don’t!

“If the Black Lotus Karmic Fire reappears, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals will arrive soon. Then it will be another war between the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court, bringing devastation to all living beings.

“Besides…”

He had the nerve to speak, but if not for his coercion, would I have ended up like this?

I raised my hand, countless Black Lotuses swirling in my palm, finally converging into a black dragon’s head, lunging straight at Zhuo Yuan.

In an instant, the world spun.

Taking advantage of the chaos, I moved behind Le You, my five fingers clamping tightly around her throat.

In that moment, Di Shu developed a murderous intent toward me. She drew a talisman in midair, and a burst of multicolored light exploded, forming a Golden Bell Shield above my head.

The other Immortals began forming seals, causing my body to freeze in place, unable to move.

Eldest Sister and Second Sister tried to break through the barriers, but were each pressed to the ground by Heavenly Soldiers.

The Black Lotus Karmic Fire gradually extinguished.

“Qing Wu, I do not wish to harm you.” Di Shu’s eyes were filled with compassion.

As she spoke, she waved her hands, sending Eldest Sister and Second Sister flying out of the Southern Heavenly Gate.

My hatred for her spread in my heart like poison.

“Di Shu, even as a ghost I will never let you go!”

Her expression was calm, a faint smile curling at her lips: “Enough. I’ll send you back to Wangchuan Lake. You shall never leave the Underworld for all eternity.”

“Goddess, how can you so easily forgive this Demon Clan remnant?”

“Who says she is a Demon Clan remnant? I have already punished her, so do not act rashly!” Di Shu’s tone held displeasure, warning them.

“But she came alone to provoke the Heavenly Court. Her arrogance is just like Cang Ming of the Demon Clan from years past…”

“If we spare her life, are we not indulging the Demon Clan?”

“There’s a saying among mortals: ‘When cutting weeds, remove the roots.’ If we let her go, what if her inner demon rises again one day?”

“Goddess, the lives of all beings matter most!”

Faced with the Immortals’ questioning, Di Shu hesitated.

She slowly approached me, raising her hand to trace my features. When her finger touched my brow, she let out a low, deep laugh: “You look so much like him…”

I turned my head away, pulling back from her touch.

“There is irreconcilable hatred between the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Realm, Qing Wu. Ten thousand years ago, I spared your life, and that was my mistake. Now, I cannot let you live.”

She pressed her forefinger to my forehead.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer.”

Di Shu began extracting my divine power, transferring it to Le You. From beginning to end, she only cared about one daughter.

But she struggled greatly to extract it.

Soon, she suffered backlash; it was too late to withdraw her hand.

Her eyes widened in astonishment: “Why?”

The Black Lotus Karmic Fire, besides its power to destroy heaven and earth, is the source of evil-but it also possesses purifying power.

Di Shu was extracting the source of evil from me, but in turn, I absorbed her magical power back into myself.

A thick, dark miasma enveloped Di Shu. The Black Lotus Karmic Fire she drew out was incompatible with her own magic.

She writhed in agony on the ground, while Le You only received a tenth of the Black Lotus Karmic Fire. Her entire body turned fiery red, her meridians burst, and before she could even cry for help, she died instantly.

A smile rose on my lips as I soared into the air.

Above the Heavenly Court, a giant Crystal Purple Lotus was about to bloom. I released it, and the Crystal Purple Lotus grew larger, radiating spiritual light in all directions.

Di Shu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Nine Purple Li Fire.

“How is this possible?”
