Chapter 166: One Hundred and Sixty-Seven. Qiongqi
He had no rivals in the human world, and was also invincible in the Soul Street. Those evil spirits were no match for him. Countless evil spirits that clamored to tear him apart were turned into ashes and their souls were shattered under the sharp edge of the Yuwang Kaishan Spear and Bi Yan Chaotian Lao in his hands.
Those undead souls who prided themselves on their bravery also fell in the process of challenging him. The corpses of countless challengers were cast high in the sky, and white bones could be seen everywhere.
Whenever scenes from the past flashed through his mind, the excruciating pain of his whole body being shattered would loom, and he would fall into long contemplation. He didn't know why he suffered these pains, but he could never remember his own name, nor his past, let alone why he died. He often felt that perhaps he was regarded as an evil ghost or a fierce god by others during his lifetime, which was why he was torn into pieces by five horses.
When he was alive, he was indeed a notorious and feared evil ghost in the eyes of the people of the world. Now that he has really become an evil ghost, no one cares about him. On the desolate battlefield, he killed evil spirits all the way, defeated powerful undead, and his own hell and strength continued to grow stronger.
When the dead forget everything, they will face a new life. The Formless Samsara Gate deep in the spiritual realm will purify the dead and give them a chance to reincarnate. However, Li Cunxiao never reincarnated because he had an obsession in his heart that he could not let go of. It was so strong that it took root in his heart and even the power of reincarnation could not remove it. He always wanted to recall everything about his life. Although he had died and turned into a dead spirit and came to the underworld, his invincible heart was still burning. He wanted to become the strongest again in the underworld and rebuild his invincible reputation. He embarked on an endless journey.
He headed westward, walking through towering and precipitous mountains, crossing majestic rivers, crossing uninhabited deserts, and stepping across fertile plains. He traveled through many places and killed countless evil spirits along the way. Sometimes, looking at the corpses all over the ground, he would be confused for a short time. What was the difference between him and them? He was just a walking corpse. However, he never stopped and killed countless challengers, including some powerful men who were famous for a time and left their names in history. However, the ending was no exception. He always maintained an undefeated record. Occasionally, he would encounter some tough and powerful opponents, but no one could ever defeat him.
He didn't hate this feeling. Fighting seemed to remind him of something and the feeling of defeating his opponent made him intoxicated. Until one day, he stepped into an extremely dangerous area.
This is a terrifying area burning with black flames, it seems like a corner of hell, it makes people feel terrified. This area is shrouded in darkness and evil, the flames emit a strong stench and evil breath, as if the devil has come, filled with darkness and ominous breath.
When you step into this area, you will be swallowed by darkness. Whether it is day or night, it is pitch black here, and no light can penetrate. There is a suffocating sense of oppression in the darkness, making people feel lost and helpless, as if they have fallen into an endless abyss.
In this area, the flames burned with black flames and flickered with evil light. These black flames emitted a terrible heat that made people feel burning and uncomfortable. The flames contained evil power, as if they could devour everything around them at any time and turn everything into ashes.
The ground in the horror area was covered with black flames, and the rocks and soil were burned to ashes. The flames jumped on the ground, forming twisted and terrifying patterns. These black flames spread out of control, dyeing the entire area dark and evil, like a bottomless abyss.
In this horror zone, terrible roars and screams echoed in the air. The sound was full of terror and cruelty, chilling people's hearts. Sometimes, malicious whispers could be heard, as if the demons from hell were calling.
He stepped into the depths of this area step by step. Along the way, he killed countless evil beasts with blazing black flames. Finally, at the deepest point, he saw a huge beast with a fierce and fierce power, which was filled with infinite evil spirit. It looked like a tiger, with hair like a hedgehog, and a pair of wings filled with black flames and blood-red lightning growing on its back. Its limbs were thick, and its body was covered with black flames. Its eyes were scarlet, its head was ferocious, its body was as majestic as a mountain, and its aura was as terrifying as a demon. The ancient beast, one of the four evil beasts, Qiongqi.
It is one of the most terrifying beasts in the underworld and a descendant of Shaohao, the Western Emperor of Heaven. Because it destroyed trust and hated loyalty and worshipped evil words, it was exiled by Shun and moved to the four corners of the world to ward off evil spirits. It is known as one of the "Four Great Beasts" in ancient times along with Hun Dun, Tao Wu, and Tao Tie.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Northern Classic of the Sea states that Qiongqi looks like a tiger and has wings. The Classic of Western Mountains: The Second Classic of the Western Regions states that there is a beast on Mount Qi, which looks like an ox and has hedgehog hair. It is called Qiongqi. It sounds like a howling dog.
The beast's huge size, terrifying spiritual power, and raging black flames made Li Cunxiao suffer a lot. Qiongqi's body like an iron mountain stood in front of Li Cunxiao. Trying to defeat the beast was like trying to catch the moon in the water. It was both a ferocious beast and a demon!
"Human! Stop overstepping your authority!"
"How dare a mere human set foot in the realm of gods?"
Qiongqi's deep and powerful voice rang out in this dark demonic realm, full of teasing and mockery.
It is an evil god that has existed since ancient times. It is the descendant of the Western Emperor, one of the five ancient Emperors of Heaven. He is a noble person, born sacred, with noble blood, and born to be a god. However, he has a bad mind and has fallen into the evil path. He has become a ferocious beast and a demon. He has become an evil god that brings disaster to the world. His strength is so tyrannical that countless gods flee at the sight of him and dare not fight him.
Later, he met with misfortune and fell from the universe to the underworld. In the underworld, he continued his old ways, gathered evil spirits and ghosts, summoned many ferocious beasts and evil spirits, and once again dominated the world, causing chaos.
Not only is it powerful itself, it can also summon countless ferocious beasts and evil spirits. Li Cunxiao is fighting alone, but even if he is fighting alone, he is not afraid at all. He kills countless ferocious beasts and evil spirits with his own strength.
He felt somehow that he had faced this kind of situation countless times before. The more he fought, the braver he became. Powerful forces kept emerging, supporting his exhausted body. Like lightning, the familiar feeling kept reappearing, and he gradually revealed a cruel smile. He remembered his own name, and he remembered how he was once invincible and dominated the world.
