I was chased at the beginning, and I got the first quick sword

Chapter 612 The End
"Do not!!"

The leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult looked terrified.

Even with the Fire Phoenix Elixir, he was still no match for Chu Qing.

Now, Chu Qing has actually managed to dig out the Fire Phoenix Core...

Just as fear was rising in his heart, he suddenly realized that the connection between himself and the Fire Phoenix Elixir had not disappeared.

Before he could even feel secretly pleased, Chu Qing let out a "Huh?"

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader discovered that Chu Qing seemed to have disappeared.

Saying it's gone isn't quite accurate...

For a fleeting moment, I seemed to have overlooked Chu Qing.

He seemed to have become the clouds in the sky, the wind in his ears, the trees by the river, becoming a part of this natural world.

The time was very short, just a fleeting moment.

But the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult was certain that he had not misperceived...

In that instant, an extremely mysterious change occurred in Chu Qing's body.

Just as Chu Qing reappeared in his sight, the Heavenly Evil Cult Master discovered that the Fire Phoenix Essence Pill, which had previously been inextricably linked to him, had completely severed its ties with him.

A profound sense of powerlessness overwhelmed me.

His body involuntarily plummeted towards the ground.

Ultimately, at the last moment, it wasn't Chu Qing who stepped into the mud, but Chu Qing himself who fell into the quagmire.

Chu Qing was in mid-air, holding up one hand, the Fire Phoenix Essence Pill in his palm radiating scorching fire energy.

It floated an inch away from Chu Qing's palm, looking both magnificent and mysterious.

Chu Qing had just used the state of oneness with heaven and man to sever the connection between this object and the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader.

Now, this Fire Phoenix Essence Pill is truly ownerless.

But Chu Qing didn't dare to dispose of this thing casually...

The fire energy within this object is constantly erupting. In the past, it was protected by the sacred phoenix tree, which contained the fire energy within the tree and prevented it from causing a major disaster.

Now that it has lost the sacred parasol tree, it has found itself a very good host.

But now I've dug it up myself...

If you just throw it away, it could easily start a raging fire, and who knows where it will burn.
"Give it...give it back to me..."

The Heavenly Evil Cult Leader got up from the ground, his eyes fixed on the Fire Phoenix Essence Pill in Chu Qing's hand.

He had lost his former composure and his initial charisma.

He was completely naked, his entire body covered in mud.

He staggered and walked with difficulty... his hair color returned to its original state, and his arrogance was gone.

His eyes, gazing at the Fire Phoenix Essence Pill, were filled with endless longing.

With a whooshing sound, Dongfang Jinghong landed beside Chu Qing. He immediately noticed the Fire Phoenix Essence Pill in Chu Qing's hand, and his expression changed instantly.
"What is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex appeared in mid-air, and a figure leaped out from it.

His gaze swept across the arena and he spotted Chu Qing, immediately waving repeatedly:
"My dear son-in-law!!"

Chu Qing's lips twitched:
"Senior Shang, what brings you here?"

"You and the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader were fighting in the Northern Region, and I was stationed on the Northwest border. How could I not know?"
"I came here to lend a hand... What, you've already defeated the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader?"

As Shang Qiuyu spoke, she glanced at the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader not far away, somewhat taken aback:

"Who's this? Why does he look like a loser?"

Chu Qing did not ridicule the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader. As a so-called hero, the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader's behavior at this moment was indeed somewhat unsightly.

A real man can't take things too seriously, nor can he let them go.

It seems they want to run away, but they can't bear to give up the Fire Phoenix Elixir.

It can be said that they were at a loss, lacking both decisiveness and resolve, which was very disappointing.

If you had to describe the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult in four words, it would be: a mere upstart who rose to fame.

He succeeded because of his unparalleled talent and comprehension, but ultimately, because of this great adversity, even though he still had the strength to spare, he only dared to pray to Chu Qing and dared not attack Chu Qing again.

Just as Shang Qiuyu said, the current leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult looks like a defeated dog.

However, Chu Qing did not let the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader off lightly because of this.

Since he couldn't put down the Fire Phoenix Pill for the time being, he had a thought and connected it with his inner strength. He held the Fire Phoenix Pill in his left hand as if he were holding a magic weapon, and pointed with his right finger.

A wisp of flame instantly stretched into a line, followed by the Maha Boundless, which was composed entirely of flames, and instantly enveloped the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader.

Chu Qing controlled the power, preventing the Maha Boundless from erupting.

It confines itself to a small space.

With the help of the fiery energy of the Fire Phoenix Elixir, the power of Maha Boundless has increased to an even higher level.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader had been completely burned to ashes.

However, thanks to the Blood Demon Scripture, he was restored to his original state... What followed was a process of dying and coming back to life.

In the midst of endless agony, he had considered running away.

Unfortunately, he had exhausted himself too much. If there was still hope at the beginning, he simply couldn't do it now.

They could only die and be reborn repeatedly.

In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the once-renowned leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult, who was hailed as the greatest in the world, was reduced to ashes.

In fact, their battle did not end at this moment.

The moment the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader's fighting spirit dissipated and he was filled with fear of Chu Qing... it was already over.

The leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult once feared Chu Qing's Maha Boundless.

He wanted to study the Great Immeasurable in order to find a way to break it.

It's a pity that it failed...

If there is no way to counter martial arts, how much less can there be a human being?
Without the will to fight, and filled with fear, even the best things in the world won't be effective.

The outcome was sealed in that instant.

Dongfang Jinghong and Shang Qiuyu exchanged a glance, both feeling quite emotional.

Not many people witnessed this battle... after all, not many people could keep up with Chu Qing and the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader.

Dongfang Jinghong rushed as fast as he could, and Shang Qiuyu, after receiving the news, also sped along at breakneck speed.

Even so, the latter only caught the last train.

We saw a result, but not the process.

But regardless, the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader, who had once inflicted immense damage on four regions and one state, is ultimately dead...

Most of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, who once dominated the world and were invincible, also died.

Although the Sword Emperor is still alive, he is no longer the same as he once was.

The only ones worthy of praise are the Blade Emperor Dongfang Jinghong and the Mysterious Emperor Shang Qiuyu.

The two exchanged a glance, then looked at Chu Qing, intending to ask him what his next move was...

Then they saw that he was still holding the Fire Phoenix Essence Pill in his hand, and the two of them were both a little scratched over:

What's going on with this thing?

"Can't you put it away?"

Chu Qing was speechless for a moment:
"I can't put it away... The stuff inside the Wutong Sacred Tree will catch fire no matter where I leave it."

He explained the situation of the Fire Phoenix Elixir in a few words, and Shang Qiuyu and Dongfang Jinghong looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shang Qiuyu tentatively said:

"Why don't you learn from the Heavenly Evil Cult Master and incorporate this into your dantian? Maybe you'll ascend to immortality... No, no, then my daughter will be left a widow!"

Dongfang Jinghong then said:
"So, the reason why the Wutong Divine Tree can be listed as one of the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth is because of the Fire Phoenix Elixir?"
"I suddenly remembered something. The First Emperor also collected quite a bit of paulownia wood back then. He collected it as one of the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth, but unfortunately, it didn't possess any extraordinary properties. But if the paulownia wood could be incorporated into this Fire Phoenix Essence Pill… wouldn't your left hand be freed then?"

"Makes sense!"

Shang Qiuyu nodded repeatedly:
"Let's go, let's go to the Five Emperors City first, to free your left hand. Otherwise, how can Tong'er have children if she's carrying this thing around every day?"

"..."

Chu Qing had long known that Shang Qiuyu was disrespectful to his elders, but now it seemed that he was not only disrespectful to his elders, but also inconsiderate of the occasion.

However, there's some truth to that...

He turned around and looked at the battlefield again.

The corpses of the Heavenly Evil Cult's disciples littered the ground, and the cult leader was reduced to ashes. Even with the extraordinary power of the Blood Demon Scripture, there was absolutely no way to revive him.

Looking back now, it seems like we've done everything we needed to do.

Initially, he was being hunted down by the Mirror of Retribution, and the system required him to kill people in order to give him a reward.

That's how I embarked on my journey into the martial world.

Along the way, they clashed with the Mirror of Evil, and were also invaded by the Heavenly Evil Cult.

After his martial arts skills and reputation reached a certain level, he naturally became the leader of the martial arts alliance.

In the end, the Mirror of Retribution was destroyed, and Li Juechen died.

The Heavenly Evil Cult has been completely wiped out in this battle...

The enormous burden I've always carried seems to have vanished all at once.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

"Let's go back to Five Emperors City first!!"

The three of them leaped into the air, and before they even reached the Five Emperors City, they ran into Wu Qianhuan and the others who were rushing over.

Afterwards, the group reunited and returned to the Five Emperors City.

Led by Dongfang Jinghong, they entered the core of the Five Emperors' Palace, went deep into the original underground palace of the Great Qian Dynasty, and found the residence of a saint.

Sure enough, among the collection, they found paulownia wood.

Chu Qing tried several times and failed several times, but finally managed to put the Fire Phoenix Essence Pill into a piece of the best quality paulownia wood.

From then on, this became the new sacred parasol tree.

The origin of the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth remains a mystery.

There are never answers to everything in this world that can be found by getting to the bottom of things. Human strength has its limits, and we don't need to seek the truth about everything in life.

For some time afterward, Chu Qing and the others stayed in the Five Emperors City dealing with matters in the Northern Region.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Qing obtained information about the location of the Heavenly Evil Sect's headquarters.

He immediately assembled his forces and headed straight for the headquarters of the Heavenly Evil Cult.

But they discovered that the headquarters of this evil cult was actually located in Tongtian Ridge.

It is located at the very top of the mountain.

This location is well chosen. There are no Sky Eagles from the Desolate Domain, nor any Ice Domain Flame Serpents. A massive palace sits here, its buildings arranged in rows, creating a magnificent sight.

Chu Qing led the group deeper into the area. There weren't many Heavenly Evil Sect disciples left there, and they were no match for Chu Qing and his group.

These people either lost or surrendered, and soon they were completely routed.

They spent a great deal of effort searching the palace thoroughly.

I must say, the results were quite good.

The vast majority of the martial arts techniques practiced by the Seven Secrets, Three Treasures, Six Profound Sects, and the Twelve Holy Kings were confiscated.

Chu Qing arranged them in front of her, sorting them by category. She wanted to destroy them, but she couldn't bear to.

Most of these martial arts are demonic arts. Logically speaking, Chu Qing wouldn't have any regrets about destroying demonic arts... But the problem is, apart from the demonic arts, these martial arts are not without their merits.

Given time, it wouldn't be difficult for these techniques to break free from their original limitations, abandon darkness for light, and become legitimate divine martial arts manuals.

But after careful consideration, Chu Qing still decided not to leave those skills behind.

With a sweep of his sleeve, they all turned to ashes.

There was only one book... Chu Qing put it away.

This manual has a bright yellow cover with six large characters written on it: "The Supreme Emperor's World-Shaking Treasure Record"!
It was a peerless secret manual that the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader had condensed through his own wisdom and enlightenment.

Chu Qing planned to take it back and study it, discarding the dross and keeping the essence, and giving it a makeover.

Besides the secret manual, a large amount of gold and silver treasures, weapons and armor were also found here.

And all sorts of books...

Chu Qing had the items sorted and packed away, and then took them all with her.

However, when Liu Zhaonian, Ouyang Tianxu and others walked over carrying a large box, Chu Qing's expression became somewhat complicated upon seeing the contents of the box.

Liu Zhaonian and the others knelt on one knee and raised the box high above their heads with both hands.

Chu Qing reached out and took it, then took out a square seal from it.

"Mandated by Heaven, I shall live long and prosper forever."

Chu Qing muttered to himself:

"The Imperial Seal of the State..."

This item is not unique to the Great Qian Dynasty; it has been circulating for a long time.

It's only natural that the Heavenly Evil Cult would possess such a thing.

Liu Zhaonian and the others remained kneeling on the ground, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and said:

"Alliance Leader, although the evil cult has been eliminated, the world is still devastated and in dire need of rebuilding."

"Looking across the entire martial world, there is no one who can wield this Imperial Seal."

"Only the Alliance Leader is destined by Heaven!"
"Please accept this Imperial Seal, Alliance Leader, and don the yellow robe to ascend the throne and become Emperor!"

"To save the people from suffering and to take control of the world!"

Chu Qing looked at the jade seal in his hand, his expression somewhat strange.

He was clearly an assassin, so how did he end up becoming emperor?
He really wanted to joke that his major wasn't relevant to his job...

But seeing the serious expressions on Liu Zhaonian's and the others' faces, they just couldn't bring themselves to say those words.

Just as she was hesitating, Wenrou suddenly rushed in from outside, ignoring the people kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly spoke:
"Sister Wu has suddenly fainted. You should go and check on her quickly."

Chu Qing's heart tightened, and he dared not delay:

"We'll discuss this matter later."

After saying that, she quickly followed Wenrou away, and Liu Zhaonian and the others also got up and followed behind.

Soon the group arrived at a bedroom. After Wu Qianhuan fell into a coma, she was brought here to rest by Mu Tong'er and Hua Jinnian.

Upon entering, I saw that Wu Qianhuan was already awake. Although her face was a little pale, she looked alright.

Upon seeing Chu Qing, she smiled:
"I probably just had a minor mishap while practicing my internal energy... I'm fine."

Chu Qing dared not delay, so he took Wu Qianhuan's wrist and placed two fingers on it.

After a moment, he paused slightly, looked up and met Wu Qianhuan's gaze.

Wu Qianhuan blinked:

"what happened?"

"It's a slippery pulse..."

Chu Qing blinked as well.

Wu Qianhuan was a little taken aback, but the shepherd boy's face was full of joy:

"Sister Wu, you're pregnant!"
