Stranger Danger-Chapter 1715: Suppressing The Black Water

Glug glug glug...

Ye Qing’s words seemed to have completely angered the Black Water Heavenly God. The mud of the pond churned, and a rotten hand burst out into the open. It then mad a grab for Ye Qing inside his Profound Yellow Heaven of Freedom.

Rumble!

The hand contained a terrifying, corruptive power. Black water mixed with black mud blotted out the sky and slammed heavily against the Profound Yellow Heaven of Freedom.

The Profound Yellow Heaven of Freedom shuddered violently as its profound yellow light dissipated. The next moment, both black water and black mud poured down from above and enveloped the Profound Yellow Heaven of Freedom.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The terrifying power ate away at the Profound Yellow Heaven of Freedom continuously. It was clearly breaking down at a visible rate.

Crack!

In the end, the Profound Yellow Heaven of Freedom collapsed as if the damage was too much.

“You’ve angered me, blasphemer!”

The rotten hand reached toward Ye Qing with infinite anger.

“So what if I did?”

A smile cracked on Ye Qing’s slightly pale face. The smile was calm, collected, and taunting. However, there was no panic or fear.

“Die!”

The Black Water Heavenly God grew even more enraged. Mud and black water slipped off his rotten hand, and corruptive power leaked out from between his fingers. The next moment, his hand seized Ye Qing.

“I knew you were just faking it!”

The Black Water Heavenly God laughed madly and scornfully when he sensed Ye Qing’s weakness. Even now, the Profound Yellow Heaven of Freedom was still being corrupted and collapsing non-stop.

Thang!

It was at this moment a bell chime rang beside the Black Water Heavenly God’s ears. He blanched.

The next moment, the rotten hand sizzled like acid, the black mud dried and fell off, and the black water evaporated into nothing. At the same time, bright light shone out from between his fingers.

It was like the sunlight that chased away the dark clouds. The profound light pierced through the rotten hand and illuminated heaven and earth. All of the darkness and filth existing in this corner of the world was instantly dispelled by the profound light. Light returned to the world once more.

The rotten hand began melting furiously like snow under the blazing sun. When it was completely melted, what looked like black, evil bones were exposed to the light, and a black maggot with a face that was clinging to the bones screamed in pain. It sounded horrific and ghastly.

“Argh! Argh!”

The Black Water Heavenly God was both enraged and in pain. He tightened his grip in an attempt to crush Ye Qing between his fingers.

Thang!

However, a chime rang once more, and even greater power burst out from the center of the rotten palm. This time, the palm could not bear the burden any longer and exploded.

“Argh!”

The Black Water Heavenly God screamed in pain when the hand exploded. He hurriedly withdrew his bald arm.

“Now you’re running? Don’t you think it’s a little too late?”

At the center of the profound light, Ye Qing stood tall and proud as he tossed a small bell into the air. When the Earthly Sovereign Bell swelled in size, the profound light permeating the area shrank into the bell for an instant.

Ye Qing then made a fist and struck the Earthly Sovereign Bell.

The greatest sound was soft; the grandest phenomenon was invisible. For a moment, nothing seemed to happen until profound light rippled like water and slowly spread into a canvas of sun, moon and stars; mountains, rivers, and the land; smoke, fire, and people. It was a painting of a golden age.

When the painting unfolded itself, all of the darkness and filth were washed away, and the Black Water Heavenly God’s withdrawn arm was forcefully crushed and annihilated into nothing.

Not done yet, the painting spread around the black pond and trapped it within.

Inside the painting, the power of the Earthly Sovereign and the fist intent of Annihilation Hammer circulated endlessly to grind away at the black pond’s energy.

Before, the black pond seemed to exist in a different space altogether. It could be seen, but not touched or attacked.

However, the black pond had lost so much power that it could no longer maintain its strange quality. Ye Qing could now capture its existence.

His enemy was showing weakness, so of course Ye Qing wasn’t going to hold back. The Earthly Sovereign’s power suppressed all evils, and the first intent of Annihilation Hammer annihilated all things. The combination of the two powers continuously drained away at the black water and the black mud in the black pond until cracks began forming at the edges.

“Raaahhh!”

An angry roar erupted, and the black mud in the black pond abruptly burst open to reveal a face.

The face was covered in demonic patterns. It had a single horn on the forehead and a mouth as wide as a fish’s.

“You will die!”

The face opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of black water.

The black water instantly grew in size and poured down on Ye Qing like an unending tide.

Even scarier was the fact that the black water contained even greater contamination and death than ever before. Countless Strangers were screaming and howling in the black water as well. It looked like a kingdom of demons.

Rumble!

The collision between the kingdom of demons and the painting was like the collision between two worlds. The painting of the golden age of humanity broke into pieces, though the kingdom of demons did not fare much better.

“I’ve remembered you...”

The follow-up attack Ye Qing imagined would arrive did not arrive, however. Instead, the Black Water Heavenly God slipped into the void as soon as he broke the restriction of the painting.

Clearly, the Black Water Heavenly God wasn’t actually planning to fight Ye Qing to the death. The suicidal resolve he displayed earlier was just an act.

In other words, the Black Water Heavenly God was afraid.

That was why he escaped immediately after breaking free.

“What did I say? It’s far too late for you to run!”

Ye Qing wobbled a little from the destruction of the painting, but he did not give chase. He did not even move. He simply smiled.

It was at this moment a colorful, auspicious cloud soundlessly blocked in front of the black pond.

The cloud was colorful and dreamlike, but the black pond reeled away from it like it was a walking disaster. It hurriedly changed directions and tried to evade the auspicious cloud.

However, the auspicious cloud was faster than it. It quickly spread out and enveloped the black water in the blink of an eye.

“Argh! The Supreme Primal Origin Celebratory Cloud!”

The Black Water Heavenly God’s furious and terrified scream erupted from within the Supreme Primal Origin Celebratory Cloud. The black water churned violently as he tried to contaminate or break free from the Supreme Primal Origin Celebratory Cloud, but the latter easily ground it all into nothingness.

Slowly, the Black Water Heavenly God’s voice and struggles grew weaker and weaker. In the end, he turned completely silent.

The black pond was slowly losing its luster and power as well. It eventually broke into pieces before the Supreme Primal Origin Celebratory Cloud eroded it into powder.

Finally, the Supreme Primal Origin Celebratory Cloud spread out and wiped out all of the remaining corruption and darkness in the air. It was only then it faded away to reveal Feng Qingyou.

“Well done!” Ye Qing said happily while flying up to her.

Feng Qingyou had arrived a long time ago, and he knew of this as a matter of course. When they were discussing their strategy earlier, they had decided that Feng Qingyou would rush over and wait in hiding. They would work together and take down everyone in the Black Water Divine Sect in one go.

They were only planning to capture a rabbit, but instead they got a big fish. It was absolutely worth it.

Feng Qingyou said calmly, “The black pond is just a projection of the Black Water Heavenly God’s power, not his true body.”

Ye Qing shrugged. “It’s fine. The loss will keep the Black Water Heavenly God up for days.”

Of course he knew that the black pond wasn’t the Black Water Heavenly God’s true body. However, it was intricately tied to the deity. Destroying the black pond might not be enough to kill the Black Water Heavenly God, but it was definitely enough to deal him a grievous blow.

Combined with the fact that the Black Water Divine Sect had lost nearly all of his champions, and it was going to take both the god and the sect at least decades, if not a whole century to recover their strength.

It was not a perfect outcome, but it was still an excellent one.
