Chapter 1142: Female Driver Arrives

The energy fluctuations were terrifying, collapsing subterranean veins, piercing the surface, and sending rocks flying into the sky. The heavens, hundreds of thousands of meters high, were filled with smoke, dust, and massive boulders.

A massive explosion erupted from the ground, and a figure ascended, responsible for all this destruction.

This was merely an aftershock. More horrifying events unfolded near the woman: the void shattered, and black fissures began to spread, rapidly tearing into the high heavens.

As she traversed the sky, the very void disintegrated around her.

Meanwhile, the earth below rapidly sank and collapsed!

Immediately, lava surged forth, crimson waves crashing against the high heavens, having already dispersed the clouds. The ground was a fiery red. Simultaneously, a fierce wind arose, sweeping the lava and spewing the red liquid everywhere across the land!

Then, lightning flashed and thunder roared, striking down from above. It collided with the sea of lava on the ground and the crimson magma swirling in the air, creating a torrent of light and a continuous succession of ear-splitting explosions.

The world seemed to be experiencing the apocalypse.

The Great Evil Spirit, her body exposed, moved through the air, leaving a trail of such devastation in her wake.

Throughout this, she was constantly adjusting her state. Though far from her peak, she had already caused such a world-ending catastrophe, as if an ancient calamity had reappeared!

Suddenly, she plunged into the red sea of lava. Her condition was not good; black energy reappeared on her snow-white, jade-like skin, and dark light flowed.

Since entering this world, she had been constantly adapting and fighting, facing the suppression and lethal pressure of the entire great realm.

The deadly trial was not yet over. The fragments of the Great Dao within her body conflicted with this world, and although she was striving to transform them, the transition was still ongoing.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, she rose from the lava sea. The dark light on her body receded, and her skin became as white as mutton-fat jade once more.

However, in this state, she had very little clothing left. Her expression was grim, and as she flew, an overwhelming killing intent surged, tearing through the sky.

Ahead, the Mo family had originally set up a large force field, but as her killing intent swept through, it disintegrated completely. The so-called divine magnetic stones, inscribed with symbols of the Great Dao, exploded into dust.

She was like a true immortal descending to earth, omnipotent, charging forward unimpeded.

Amidst clanking sounds, armor appeared on her snow-white body, covering her entirely. Even her face was partially covered by a silver helmet, leaving only her eyes visible.

Undeniably, the intense fluctuations here were astonishing.

The area around the Heaven-Piercing Waterfall was highly unusual; mist emanated from it, severely impairing everyone's perception. Otherwise, Stone Buddha, Haoyuan, Hengtuo, and others would have sensed it immediately.

Members of that organization were the first to arrive at the scene of Chu Feng's escape, followed closely by the Mo family. Upon seeing the sight, their expressions turned solemn.

Initially, they were in a void passage, but when the half-step Heavenly Venerate caught up with Chu Feng, he tore open space, causing them to fall to the ground.

Now, the ground was stained with black blood.

Many experts from that organization and the Mo family had arrived, almost all led by Divine Kings!

Furthermore, a half-step Heavenly Venerate had secretly descended into the area. The terrifying aura emanating from them had already been sensed by those attentive, a soul-shaking presence.

Both parties were formidable. As they spread out, they instantly surrounded the area, their eyes drawn to several artifacts.

Earrings, a snow-white jade hairpin, long boots, and other items lay scattered, all stained with black blood.

"Who dares to target our organization?!" an elder growled, his eyes cold and his short hair bristling like a hedgehog's quills.

This was an old Divine King, approaching his peak, not far from the Heavenly Venerate realm. He was furious.

Upon arriving, members of the organization known as "West Heaven" understood that one of their Divine Kings had died, and a half-step Heavenly Venerate had also been slain.

This situation was quite dire and tragic. Someone dared to attack "West Heaven" and forcefully eliminate their members, clearly indicating hostile intentions.

However, they also had doubts. That Divine King's mission was to find a young rogue cultivator in the outer regions who had purchased Meng Po Soup, with the aim of reclaiming the creation liquid, intercepting them, and taking their Sky-Gold Stone and other valuables—a typical case of murder and theft.

It was just a rogue cultivator, only eleven or twelve years old. If found, a single toe could crush him, making it easy to reclaim the Meng Po Soup and other items.

How could such a terrible situation have arisen?

Moreover, the half-step Heavenly Venerate, who was responsible for patrolling this area, had also died?

A Divine King from the West Heaven organization made a move, raising his hand to draw two black-blood-stained earrings into the air, intending to take hold of them.

"Wait!"

The Yi Huang clan, members of the Mo family, intervened.

A Divine King intervened because those of their rank could naturally discern that the earrings were unusual, faintly shimmering with peculiar symbols.

These were treasures!

Even the hidden half-step Heavenly Venerate's eyes gleamed with sharp light, and fragments of the Great Dao appeared in their pupils.

"Brother of the Mo family, why is this? This item is stained with the residual blood of our organization's Divine King. I need to search for clues; why do you stop me?"

"No offense, brother, but these earrings are entwined with an evil aura and have a strange origin. And that black blood looks very ominous, indicating a major problem. Allow me to assist you."

The Mo family's Divine King smiled.

The West Heaven organization's members' expressions darkened slightly. It was clear the other party intended to interfere.

Undoubtedly, both sides were interested in the artifacts on the ground and wanted to claim them for themselves.

However, outwardly, they could not openly break ties and did not state their intentions directly.

"There's no need. Our organization is perfectly capable of investigating this on our own," the West Heaven Divine King refused.

The Mo family members shook their heads, stating righteously, "Brother, you are mistaken. An evil spirit appeared recently, and these artifacts might be related to the Heaven-Piercing Waterfall or be tainted by the evil spirit. We cannot be careless. Let each of us take one earring, and we will investigate together to see what malevolent entity is at work."

The West Heaven organization's members' faces turned slightly green. It was bad enough that a Divine King had died, but now a half-step Heavenly Venerate had also perished!

This was undoubtedly a significant loss, especially since this person had the potential to become a Heavenly Venerate. Relatively speaking, it was "dying young," a devastating blow.

Now, the Mo family also coveted these artifacts and actually intended to contend for them, delaying the pursuit of the culprit. This enraged them.

"Give them one!"

A silver-robed figure from the West Heaven organization stepped forward. It was an old woman, with a straight and upright posture, though her face showed signs of age.

She was a half-step Heavenly Venerate, no weaker than, and perhaps even stronger than, the creature that had died by the wooden spear.

As she spoke, she retrieved one earring, avoiding the black blood, and activated a special technique, attempting to rewind time and see what had happened recently.

However, she failed. There was no way to uncover the bloody events that had occurred there.

"How can this be?!" She was greatly surprised.

"Hmm?" On the other side, the Mo family's experts had also used similar methods. Some secret techniques could reveal past events for a brief moment, but they also failed.

Nevertheless, both sides became simultaneously interested in the earrings. When activated, the earrings emanated an astonishing radiance, emitting unique fluctuations of rules.

"This seems like a lost weapon-refining method recorded in historical texts?" someone from the Mo family whispered.

The Great Evil Spirit had arrived from another realm. Besides bringing weapons from that world, she naturally brought artifacts she had obtained from the Yang Realm in the past, to facilitate her movement in this realm without clashing with its inherent natural laws.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, both sides moved to seize the snow-white hairpin.

Even the long boots, which appeared to be made of dragon or Qilin hide, became objects of contention. Both parties realized these were extraordinary items, even without knowing their origin.

"Mo family, you're going too far! These are artifacts left behind by our deceased Divine King and half-step Heavenly Venerate, imbued with their lifeblood. How dare you contend for them?"

The West Heaven organization's members' faces turned ashen, their expressions radiating cold malice.

The Mo family members did not back down, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. Not only have your people died, but Mo Lei and Mo Feng of our clan also met tragic deaths in the Heaven-Piercing Waterfall. We have tracked the culprit to this point and have reason to believe it was the same perpetrator. These artifacts do not belong to your organization at all; they are the murderous weapons used by that villain. Naturally, we must take them for careful study."

During Chu Feng's escape, he had triggered the Mo family's force field, drawing the attention of their experts in that area, who then pursued him all the way.

"Boom!"

The West Heaven organization's members made their move, snatching the jade hairpin and stating, "We were pursuing a mere rogue cultivator, a common nobody, when a minor accident occurred. Please, fellow Daoists of the Mo family, do not interfere with us."

Crack!

Suddenly, before the Mo family members could respond, the void here exploded.

Instantly, not only ordinary beings but even gods screamed in agony, their bodies covered in blood.

"Who is it?!"

They turned back in horror to see the large force field behind them disintegrating. The three layers of large force fields set up by the Mo family, Stone Buddha, and later-arriving reinforcements completely collapsed.

When the world-locking force field disintegrated, the Great Evil Spirit appeared in the sky. The terrifying energy she unleashed could no longer be concealed; it poured down like a deluge, covering everything.

Behind her, a vast sea of lava surged and roiled.

The Great Evil Spirit arrived at the scene, standing still in the void. Her presence was unparalleled; a silver armor covered her entire body, yet her curves and figure clearly indicated her extraordinary physique.

All energy was contained within her body, no longer overflowing, indicating her poor condition.

Her clear eyes immediately spotted her earrings and silver hairpin, held by others, as well as her pair of long boots, also clutched in someone's hand.

In an instant, the world transformed, winds and clouds paled, and lightning and thunder crashed down from the nine heavens, accompanied by a torrential downpour.

It was blood-colored lightning and a pitch-black deluge!

The lava sea behind her did not approach, but it surged hundreds of thousands of meters into the sky, like a crimson firmament shaking the world.

"Heavens, who is this?!" Even the Divine Kings were shocked. The very landscape shifted with the woman's mood. She hadn't even attacked or unleashed energy, yet she could cause this. How terrifyingly powerful was this evolutionist?

"Fellow Daoist—no, Senior, let's talk this over," a Divine King from the Mo family began, with an earring still suspended above his palm, which he dared not hold.

Just then, the woman slapped him.

And then... there was no "then." He didn't even utter a scream, instantly transforming into a bloody mist, which then incinerated into ashes.

"You!" The Mo family members were enraged.

However, their clan's half-step Heavenly Venerate restrained them. He bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive us if we have offended you. Our clan merely passed through this area to pursue a naive rogue cultivator. We believe we have not offended you, and there must be some misunderstanding."

In his hand, he was still holding one of the long boots!

The Great Evil Spirit looked at the long boot in his hand. She said nothing. No man had ever dared to touch her battle boots like this before, so there was nothing to say. She simply slapped him.

"Fellow Daoist, you..." The Mo family's half-step Heavenly Venerate was alarmed and enraged, resisting with all his might.

But with a thump, he still exploded, turning into blood and bone. Without any suspense, he was instantly obliterated, his soul light unable to escape, his body and spirit utterly destroyed.

It's 9:30 PM. Everyone, it's time to wash up and go to bed. This is the only chapter for today. We'll continue working hard tomorrow.
