I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 259 - 29: Facing Calamity in Person, Breaking Calamity Through Killing (2/3)

Boom!

The sky thundered, and the earth quaked.

Even though Er Tu had pushed the Soaring Clouds and Mist divine power to its limit, the sounds of battle from behind could still be felt.

"Damn it, is this what that brat meant by 'a slightly bumpy journey'?"

Out of sheer terror, Er Tu even cursed, forgetting to address "Prophet."

It was supposed to be just a hunt for a Great Demon with little time left.

And yet, they encountered the Daughter of the Celestial Emperor, who should have vanished a millennia ago.

Now, being caught up in the battle between the Daughter of the Celestial Emperor and the Huai River Dragon Maiden, Er Tu couldn't help but doubt the accuracy of Li Boyang's divination.

Of course, what puzzled Er Tu even more was why the Daughter of the Celestial Emperor chose to appear at this precise moment.

"I have to report this to the Prophet."

As they gradually fled the dangerous battlefield, Er Tu changed his reference to Li Boyang once again.

Whoosh!

Landed and immediately reverted to human form.

Er Tu reached his hand into his shadow.

Er Tu didn't know the Evil Qi Divine Power, nor had he cultivated the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

But he couldn't match Li Boyang's mastery of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

Even separated by thousands of miles, the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect hidden within Er Tu's shadow could still play a role at crucial moments.

Crackle...

As Er Tu slowly withdrew his hand from the shadow,

a Nuo God Mask, clearly modeled after Er Tu, was pulled out.

"No matter how many times I see it, this mask is still as ugly as ever..."

"I wonder when the Prophet's taste will improve a little?"

Despite looking at the Nuo God Mask with disdain, Er Tu eventually put it on.

Swoosh!

In an instant, a surge of violent, malicious Qi erupted from underground, spiraling around Er Tu like a storm.

The Nuo God Mask, too, quickly melted like flowing water, soon completely covering Er Tu's face.

Prepared for this, Er Tu immediately cast his Thousand Transformations Divine Power, allowing a new head to grow from his neck.

Thus, a two-headed Er Tu with various black patterns emerged.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

Turning his head to the sinister face with closed eyes, Er Tu tentatively called out.

"I can hear you, and quite clearly at that."

Slowly opening his eyes, Li Boyang's voice emanated from that head.

Perhaps because it was his first time adapting to this form,

Li Boyang took some time to notice the other head beside him.

"Uh, is it necessary to do this?"

Uncertain whether to feel speechless or helpless, Li Boyang was momentarily silent before speaking.

"You just needed to put on the mask, and we could communicate telepathically."

Equally curious about his other head, Er Tu seemed nonchalant.

"Don't you think this is quite interesting?"

"We share the same body and converse using two different heads."

"Besides, I remember you saying that a full transformation with the 'Nuo God Mask' consumes a lot. Isn't this partial transformation a good enough solution?"

Only because Er Tu now had complete control over the Thousand Transformations Divine Power.

Otherwise, even Li Boyang wouldn't think of such an energy-efficient method.

"Uh, maybe next time you should just fully transform!"

"As for the 'Nuo God Mask's' energy consumption, I'll figure out something."

Finding his current appearance awkward, Li Boyang could only sigh.

"Tell me, what's the matter you wanted to share?"

Prompted by Li Boyang's reminder, Er Tu remembered the urgent news to deliver.

"I chased Huo Ji all the way and encountered someone legendary..."

Turning his body, Er Tu pointed to the distant, earth-shattering battle, recounting everything he just witnessed to Li Boyang.

"So, what exactly happened?"

For some reason, Er Tu felt this matter was invariably linked to Li Boyang.

At the very least, Li Boyang surely knew some key details.

It wasn't about logical analysis, merely Er Tu's intuition from years of companionship.

"I was merely persuaded by Xiluo to change some thoughts and ideas."

Luckily, Er Tu's intuition wasn't mistaken.

Li Boyang simply raised an eyebrow and began explaining.

"About three years ago, I divined a great calamity, potentially more terrifying than a great flood for me."

"The moment I divined this calamity, my Primordial Spirit alerted me for the first time..."

Er Tu widened his eyes in shock, knowing Li Boyang's strength.

That his Primordial Spirit alerted him indicated a calamity capable of potentially killing him.

"How is that possible?"

He murmured incredulously.

Er Tu couldn't fathom what sort of disaster could kill someone who had achieved the Yang God state like Li Boyang.

"In this world, nothing is impossible; I'm not an omnipotent creator."

Taking a deep breath, Li Boyang continued.

"I kept divining and predicting, ultimately tracing the calamity's origin to Great Xia."

"Or more precisely, the current Witch King of Great Xia—Wu Yi."

"I don't know what Wu Yi plans to do, nor do I understand how this calamity will manifest."

"According to my initial plan, I intended to go with the flow and stay out of trouble..."

"After all, even if this was a disaster targeted at me, I had confidence in overcoming the danger."

At this point, Li Boyang suddenly laughed.

"But recently, Xiluo suddenly told me she also sensed this calamity."

"You should know what that means?"

With slightly widened eyes, Er Tu certainly understood the implication.

"This calamity... isn't just targeting you alone?"

Tilting his head slightly, Li Boyang continued smiling.

"Yes! It was then that I realized I might have underestimated Wu Yi from the beginning."

"No, I've never truly understood Wu Yi; my knowledge of him is purely hearsay."

"I once considered that he wanted to take me back to Great Xia as his successor or came to seize my Celestial Human Technique..."

"But no matter what, I thought going with the flow might quietly resolve the crisis."

Li Boyang paused slightly here.

"However, since even Xiluo sensed the crisis, Wu Yi's ambitions must surpass my imagination."

"Perhaps he wants more than just me; you, Xiluo, and even the Hundred Lands Mountain Range might be among his targets."

"Yet, despite my divinations, I couldn't see the full scope of the calamity or identify the key to breaking it."

"So I decided to change my approach, face the calamity head-on, using a killing to break the crisis and seize a glimmer of hope."

Er Tu wasn't sure if it was a misperception,

but he felt that as Li Boyang spoke, there was a flash of cold killing intent in his eyes that he'd never seen before.

"For this, even if completion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit isn't possible, breaking through the limit with an imperfect Dao Body to achieve the 'Refining Spirit and Returning to Void' state is ordained by fate."

"Even Heaven isn't perfect; how can the Human Path always go as desired?"

"What caught me off guard was that after I had this thought, the Guhuo Bird changed its methods..."

"It became a variable from a constant, continuously interfering with my divination."

"What surprised me even more was that an existence like the Daughter of the Celestial Emperor has surfaced."

"I don't know if it's due to my deep karmic ties with them or if there's a hidden agenda."
