Chapter: Chapter 296
Pain.
It hurt so much.
Chen An lowered his head and saw a sword tip piercing his chest.
From behind, it went straight through him.
This sword was incredibly vicious, and the position chosen was particularly tricky.
Sword energy followed the blade, instantly destroying Chen An’s Spirit Platform.
The Spirit Platform was the foundation of a cultivator’s existence. With the Spirit Platform destroyed, an Immortal would fall into the mortal realm.
From then on, his immortal path would be hopeless.
Even though Chen An was a top Mahayana Cultivator with immense cultivation, without his Spirit Platform, everything was futile.
The sword tip was snowy white and bright. Even with a little fresh bloodstains, its sharpness could not be hidden.
Anyone who saw it would praise it as a good sword.
“Master, did you not expect this?”
“You, who once looked down on the world and was peerless, will also have this day of death and dissipation?”
From behind, a trembling female voice came.
She seemed to be trying hard to suppress the joy in her voice, forcing herself not to laugh out loud.
After ten years of enduring, her great revenge was finally repaid.
How could Chichi Su not be excited?
And how could she not be moved?
“Thirty years ago, you killed my parents and slaughtered my entire village. Did you ever think of today?”
Seeing the man in front of her remain silent, Chichi Su couldn’t help but speak again.
With every word she spoke, a bit of the pent-up anger inside her dissipated. Even the realm she had been stuck at for a long time showed a bit of loosening.
She seemed to be on the verge of breaking through the Nascent Soul and entering Tribulation Crossing!
Was this the relief that came from breaking through a heart demon?
Chichi Su felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
Her eyes were red, tears flowing, and her face flushed with an unnatural crimson.
She even wanted to roar to the sky, to vent her emotions, to comfort the spirits of her parents and all 361 households of Su Family Village in the afterlife!
Dad, Mom…
The faces of the two elders were already blurred, but the happy childhood memories were still vivid.
Again and again, they replayed in her mind.
Chichi Su released the long sword in her hand and knelt on the ground.
The long sword fell to the ground with a clear and resonant dragon’s roar.
The divine weapon had a spirit, and it was clearly cheering for its Master’s revenge.
The woman trembled all over, her shoulders occasionally twitching, letting out soft sobs, like weeping and complaining.
Her hair fell on her shoulders, and beneath the two lines of tears was a beautiful and exquisite face.
She suddenly crawled to Chen An again and held him in her embrace.
“Speak, speak up!”
“Why aren’t you speaking… *sob sob*…”
Chichi Su’s expression suddenly changed, and her demeanor became extremely frightened.
“No, no, Master…”
“Chichi is here, Chichi is coming to save you, save you…”
She said anxiously, fumbling to deal with the terrifying wound.
The wound had pierced through the entire heart, and her internal organs were shattered by the sword energy.
Even if the legendary Medical Immortal were reborn, seeing this scene, he would probably only sigh and leave.
“*Sob sob*… Heh, hehe…”
The woman’s low sobs, like crying and laughing, slowly echoed throughout the cave mansion.
Having personally killed the Master who raised her for twenty-five years, no one could understand her state of mind at this moment.
It was a complex, ineffable emotion.
After a long time, Chichi Su finally dared to look up and face the man in front of her.
Her Master.
The Master who took care of her daily life, taught her, and smiled and tolerated her regardless of how willful or unreasonable her demands were.
But today, she had drawn her sword against this man whom she had once regarded as a god.
And with one sword strike, she had severed his Spirit Platform, completely cutting off all his paths to survival.
Even with heaven-defying means, there was nothing he could do.
Chichi Su gazed at Chen An.
She had expected to see pain, the anger of betrayal, or a helpless calm.
But there was nothing.
The man’s face was as calm as ever.
Even as his life rapidly drained away, there was no hint of emotion in his deep eyes.
“It’s over.”
At the last moment before his breath stopped, Chen An opened his mouth and whispered softly.
Chichi Su held his body, somewhat dazed.
The fresh blood flowed, covering her bare feet.
It’s over…
Yes, it’s all over…
The cave mansion, which held so many of her memories, collapsed with a roar.
Chichi Su sat on the ground, motionless.
In the next second, the clear sky suddenly filled with tribulation clouds, and thunder rumbled.
She hugged the man, looked up at the sky, her expression blank.
Severing her heart demon and breaking through the Nascent Soul.
Chichi Su had already entered Tribulation Crossing.
…
…
A noisy wind blew past her ears.
When Chen An opened his eyes again, he was stunned.
Before him was not the familiar stone cave mansion, but a vast blue sky.
He had returned to the starting point of his fate—the school rooftop.
After nine lives, looking back, it was merely a drop in the ocean, like a dream.
“Congratulations, Host.”
“The ninth villainess protagonist has been perfectly cultivated. Thus, all nine worlds have achieved Heavenly Dao completion. You can also enjoy your own leisurely life.”
“The reward of immortality and indestructibility has already taken effect.”
“I have to say, Host, you are getting more and more skilled at this.”
Cultivating a villainess, as the name suggests.
After obtaining the system, Chen An traveled through different worlds, and after nine lives, he finally achieved completion.
Chichi Su was the villainess he needed to cultivate in his ninth life.
According to the predetermined trajectory, after killing her Master, she would completely descend into the Demonic Path.
As the saying goes, whitewashing makes one weaker by three points, while darkening makes one ten times stronger.
Chichi Su’s combat power and realm would soar like a rocket, eventually causing chaos in the entire Righteous Path Alliance, and she would become the foremost figure of the Demonic Path.
For the next ten years, Chichi Su would usher in her reign of brutality.
Of course, these were irrelevant to the current Chen An.
Perhaps in the first or second life, he would always reminisce and be moved.
But now, his mindset had already changed.
I’m just a tool, why should I care so much?
Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink. And if you really count it, he was the one who was hurt!
Having experienced nine different ways of dying, who could understand?
Take Chichi Su for example. The truth she thought she knew was just what she thought.
Hatred had already blinded her eyes, making her unable to distinguish reality from illusion.
The so-called Su Family Village, and her so-called parents, were actually people of the Demonic Path!
They had deliberately staged this act simply because they took a liking to Chichi Su’s innate Dao body.
And their purpose was to maximize the preservation of Chichi Su’s pure heart, so they could harvest it at will later!
As for why he didn’t explain, there was no need.
Chen An wanted this effect.
So, it was better to lie flat and be my tool.
Ignoring the system’s prompt, Chen An walked to the edge of the rooftop, spreading his arms.
His own… leisurely life?
Thinking of the things in those nine worlds, Chen An fell silent.
After a moment, he said, “System, shield the memories related to the protagonist of the ninth life.”
A mechanical electronic voice soon sounded.
“Host, you have already shielded the memories of the previous eight lives. Are you sure you want to continue shielding the last life?”
Chen An did not hesitate. “Confirmed.”
Instantly, all the images of Chichi Su in his mind were covered with a thick, blurry filter.
It was like a very, very long dream.
After waking up, even if he tried to recall it, he could only remember a few scattered fragments.
So be it.
Chen An let out a long sigh of relief and turned towards the iron gate of the rooftop.
Just then, the iron gate made a clanging sound and was opened from the other side.
A girl in a school uniform walked up.
Seeing Chen An, her steps paused, her eyes widened slightly, as if she hadn’t expected to meet anyone else here.
Chen An politely stepped aside to let her pass.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then walked past him.
Her steps did not stop, and she walked to the edge of the rooftop where Chen An had been standing.
She poked her head out and looked down, immediately feeling a little dizzy.
She squeezed her palm, and it was wet with sweat.
She turned around, not daring to look again.
Her slender body tried to lean back, but quickly straightened up.
Her legs, hidden under the school uniform pants, began to tremble slightly.
She looked up and saw that the boy had already stepped with one foot into the iron gate, about to leave.
The girl finally couldn’t help it and said with a tremble, “Hey!”
Chen An heard the sound and turned back. “What’s wrong?”
The girl pursed her lips and looked at him. “Can’t you try to persuade me?”
Chen An was taken aback, then said, “Respect others’ destinies, let go of the urge to help.”
He waved his hand.
“If you want to jump, then jump. It’s not a big deal.”
