My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

482 Purgatory on Earth

The next moment, a beam of red light shot into the sky.

“You think you can kill me? You’ve got to be joking!” Yu Tiancong bellowed. A cloud of red mist lifted him into the air, and he tried to fly away.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Kong Binghuang scoffed. Up in the sky, the wind and clouds shifted, and a white phoenix emerged from the clouds — the windward charm’s technique, fallen phoenix.

The hundred-meter-long white phoenix spiraled in the air, stirring a violent storm. The blood mist beneath Yu Tiancong was instantly scattered, and his body was swept away by the white phoenix’s tempest-like assault.

Qin Huai quietly observed the unfolding spectacle. Indeed, the gap between each of the five levels of the visceral prefecture realm was immense. The battle prowess of Kong Binghuang, the master of Wuji Mountain, was truly fearsome.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Yu Tiancong landed on the nearly destroyed main peak of Wuji Mountain. This was akin to the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Giant rocks crumbled and rolled down the mountain like an earthquake, causing the fighting prodigy elders to scatter and look for shelter in panic.

“Is Brother Zhou out?!” She Wanshan glanced at Qin Huai in disbelief, suddenly realizing that this meant the second elder, Shang Yinzhong, must have been defeated. A chill ran up his spine. “Just how strong is Brother Zhou?”

More than a year ago, they were almost evenly matched, but now… Could Brother Zhou actually kill a top-tier expert at the fifth-level visceral prefecture realm?

Nearby, Fang Huo and others noticed Qin Huai’s reappearance. Their expressions varied as they considered the implications.

“Do you think you can win this way?” Yu Tiancong’s voice echoed again. He rose from the ruins, his body covered in blood.

Pustules of blood continuously erupted from his body, regenerating new flesh. But with no bones to adhere to, the new flesh liquefied into a pool of congealed blood on the ground. Half his body had been decimated by Kong Binghuang.

“This world will eventually be transformed by the Sacred Sovereign! This world will ultimately belong to the Lord!” Yu Tiancong kneeled on the ground, looking up at the sky with a fervent expression as he chanted.

Suddenly, a bloody aura began to permeate between heaven and earth. Half of the sixteen peaks of Wuji Mountain started to rumble and collapse, giving off a blood-red glow.

“What are you up to?” Kong Binghuang demanded, staring at the trembling Wuji Mountain.

“The Lord’s fifty-year plan will not be derailed by you insects,” Yu Tiancong retorted.

Qin Huai observed the collapsing mountain peak in the distance, where a thick stream of blood was flowing, accompanied by countless bones.

“Look at those mountains!” She Wanshan shouted.

Many others took note and looked over. The sight of white bones and fresh blood left them horrified.

“Blood sacrifice,” Qin Huai muttered under his breath.

“So, you’re quite familiar with our Sacred Heart Sect.” Yu Tiancong laughed heartily, looking at Qin Huai. “Indeed, this is a blood sacrifice. For fifty years, we have been planning for the Lord’s great purpose, and it’s finally about to happen.”

His eyes blazed with craziness. “This is a blood sacrifice that has been prepared for fifty years. The entire Qingzhou City is filled with the corpses and lives taken from all over the sixteen provinces.”

Rumble…

As Yu Tiancong finished speaking, distant rumbling noises were heard. Columns of blood exploded from the mountains where blood and bones had flowed out, making the clear sky turn dark and red.

“What is this?!”

Everyone was taken aback, even Qin Huai. He noticed that it wasn’t just the sixteen peaks of Wuji Mountain experiencing this, but other locations seemed to be affected too.

“That’s where the Thousand Divination Tower is.” Gou Jie looked at his sect in the distance with a calm expression.

“Master!” Fang Huo looked in the direction of his sect as well and clenched his teeth. A lion’s roar echoed around him, and his hair stood on end.

“Even the outer city…” Hua Yanli looked towards the city far away. Even from this distance, a faint red light could be seen.

“What have you done?!” Kong Binghuang erupted, aiming to kill Yu Tiancong.

But Qin Huai quickly stepped in, “Wait! This guy doesn’t have much time left. Your attack earlier destroyed his inner organs. The blood heart technique can’t repair that damage.”

Yu Tiancong eyed Qin Huai suspiciously. “How much do you know about our Sacred Heart Sect?” He continued, “It doesn’t matter. I’m about to die anyway. It’s a shame I won’t see the golden era the Lord prophesied.”

He smiled. “But, I initiated this golden era. My name will forever be engraved in Qingzhou’s history.” His laughter echoed as he saw the shock on everyone’s faces. “Soon, Qingzhou will welcome a city where everyone is equal! Your birth, background, talent, or physique won’t matter. You just have to strive to reach the realm you desire.

“Whether it’s the blood refinement realm, bone pattern realm, or visceral prefecture realm, all are top-notch experts. All you need to do is eat people! You will be able to advance your cultivation technique by ten days or even a hundred days!”

Yu Tiancong became increasingly excited as he spoke, his face turning redder. “Then, Qingzhou City will thrive like never before. It will be a sanctuary for ordinary and hardworking people!”

“Lunatics! You’re all lunatics!” Kong Binghuang scowled. “Do you realize how many people will die?”

Yu Tiancong retorted, “In the grand scheme of things, people die all the time. Also, the worthless who only profit from others and disregard human life… they’ll be cleansed in this new era.”

Not only Yu Tiancong, but other followers of the Sacred Heart Sect also kneeled, echoing his sentiments.

Kong Binghuang’s expression was cold. “That’s just your ideal world.”

Yu Tiancong disagreed, “At least it’s better than your pathetic era.”

In his final moments, Yu Tiancong mocked everyone, “You might question it, but you can only watch. I want to see how the era created by the Lord will unfold.”

His voice weakened, his face turned pale, and then his body exploded. The blood mist spread across miles, merging into the bloody pillar.

Qin Huai looked up at the blood-red sky. The massive wave of blood spread from the pillar at its center. At the same time, rain began to fall, but the raindrops were all blood-red.

Catching the blood rain, Qin Huai thought, “This feels like the blood sacrifice from the secret manual… But now, it’s affecting the entire world?”

His expression grew cold. If Yu Tiancong’s words were to be believed, this bloody phenomenon would engulf the entire Qingzhou City. It was turning into the Sacred Heart Sect’s testing ground…

No, it was very likely a purgatory on earth.
