Nightingale is right, he's a madman.
Compared to the Cyclops and the Nightingale, the Black Robe was clearly more mature and more insane.
Luo Xiu sighed and did not make a move.
The black-robed figure's purpose was none of his concern. From his perspective, the best option now was to watch the black-robed figure force out more of the gods' trump cards.
He wants to ensure a 100% victory, so he can sit back and watch the two tigers fight.
And so, the entire sky gradually transformed into part of a sea of thunder, mirroring the real ocean below, and the gods were unable to emerge from it for a long time.
Finally, the seemingly enraged god changed his strategy, shifting his body to the side in an attempt to escape the Sea of Thunder from the flank.
Without the obstacle of breaking through upwards, he seemed to be having an exceptionally smooth journey.
A dazzling light could be seen moving slowly in the sea of thunder, until at a certain moment, Luo Xiu noticed that the black-robed figure's eyes narrowed.
Then, his neck twitched.
That's him being patient.
She forced herself not to look at Luo Xiu.
His next move was extremely important and he couldn't let Luo Xiu find out, so he subconsciously wanted to observe Luo Xiu, but he restrained himself in the end.
Because if it is exposed, this move will be in vain.
Luo Xiu took it all in, silently watching the black-robed figure infuse his primal demonic energy into the hand holding the nightingale, and then…
He threw the nightingale into the sea of thunder with lightning speed.
it is as expected……
Luo Xiu remained silent, sighed, and quietly sent a wisp of grayish-white energy into the sea of thunder.
The black-robed figure, believing he had succeeded, was very excited. Even though he had used most of his original demonic energy to maintain this sea of thunder, his eyes still revealed joy.
He turned to look at Luo Xiu.
Perhaps realizing that Luo Xiu couldn't stop Nightingale from entering the Sea of Thunder, he began to speak:
"I succeeded, Your Excellency. You are the only one who witnessed the success of this plan."
Luo Xiu smiled:
"No wonder you've been targeting the gods ever since they appeared; your real target isn't the gods, but the door behind them."
The figure in black robes looked even more delighted:
"You saw it, sir, but unfortunately, it was too late, just one step too late."
Yes, from the moment the gods appeared, everything the black-robed figure did was for that wide-open, towering gate.
He wanted to send Nightingale away; after realizing Luo Xiu's strength, this was the only solution he could think of.
He knew there was absolutely no way he could escape with Nightingale from Luo Xiu's grasp. Even if the gods and Luo Xiu fought and weakened each other first, it would still be impossible. Therefore, the only way to get Nightingale out was through that door.
This plan is not as simple as it seems.
First, Luo Xiu must not notice; second, the gods must not notice either.
In the end, the nightingale could not know about this.
So he first joined forces with Luo Xiu to deal with the gods. After Luo Xiu suggested that he fight the gods alone, he readily agreed. Finally, he summoned the Sea of Thunder to restrain the gods while forcing them to move, and at the same time, he flooded the gate that was the real target, sending Nightingale inside.
He succeeded, at least in his own eyes. In the face of two beings stronger than him, he sent his cousin away, accomplishing a feat against all odds.
"Sir, although we are sworn enemies, I would still like to introduce the three of us brothers to you, so that you may have a clear understanding of the opponent you are about to kill."
Seeing that one of the gods' arms had already stretched out into the sea of thunder, the black-robed figure remained calm, but spoke rapidly. After finishing speaking, he continued without waiting for Luo Xiu's agreement.
"The three of us brothers come from a demon clan called %. Among all the demon clans, this clan is neither big nor small, just like the three of us, who are neither strong nor weak in the clan."
"They are my cousins. Although the relationship is complicated when you look into it, that's a rough description."
"If we're sorting by age, the one you killed should be the second oldest, and the one I just sent away should be the third oldest."
"We demons, I think I can say this, but the feelings between us are actually very weak. If it weren't for you [the guide], my two cousins and I wouldn't have been able to spend a thousand years together. Maybe a year, maybe two years, we would have finished our trials and gone our separate ways."
“That’s normal. Blood ties don’t mean anything special to us. My dad is always thinking about having another brother or sister for me, but he just can’t do it.”
After speaking, he glanced at the Sea of Thunder and saw that half of the god's body had already emerged, so he quickened his pace again:
"But thanks to you, the three of us have become outcasts among the demons. I don't know much about the second brother, but the third brother and I definitely understand each other. After all, a thousand years is enough time to figure out a lot of things."
"If the second child's hobby is eating, then the third child's hobby is freedom, and for me, all I want is success."
"I can sacrifice a lot of things for success, including this worthless family affection."
"So when the third brother came to me and told me about his plan, I was very surprised."
"Because the third brother should know me. Once he gives me his source power, I might just turn my back on him."
"In fact, I have thought so too."
"But in the end I didn't do that. It wasn't that I changed my beliefs, but rather that I felt that if I defined success as winning this trial in the end, I would most likely fail in the end."
"After meeting you, I became even more convinced of this."
“He’s too young to understand. He thinks we might get away with it after you and the gods fight, but I know there’s absolutely no chance.”
"Therefore, I define this success as getting him out of here."
"Fortunately, I did it."
He raised his head, his eyes showing no fear of impending death, but rather a triumphant air, as if he were still happy about everything that had just happened.
"Success requires a bit of luck, sir."
“I promised to take him out, and at least I kept my word.”
"You are the winner this time, but I haven't lost either."
Luo Xiu silently watched the black-robed figure. At this moment, most of the god's body had already walked out of the Sea of Thunder.
Both he and the figure in black robes knew that what the figure in black robes was saying at this moment was not a victory speech, but a dying message.
Or to put it another way, the black-robed figure's last words were also his victory speech.
This was indeed a risky and crazy plan.
First, we must save the nightingale.
Then, you need luck to complete the guidance and open the door.
Finally, the nightingale must be sent away.
The figure in the black robe has something to be proud of.
If Luo Xiu hadn't realized this, perhaps he really could have succeeded.
"The meaning of life is not in its length, Your Excellency."
The figure in black robes delivered his final speech:
"It depends on what you pursue."
“Even now, I don’t think I’m wrong. If you’re the winner, then I should die. If I were the winner, then you would be the one who dies. It’s that simple.”
"You must have something you're pursuing, sir, something you'd be willing to give everything for."
A dazzling divine light descended between the two.
With an air of authority and anger.
But neither the black-robed figure nor Luo Xiu moved; the black-robed figure was still uttering his final words:
"I don't think I've ever been as successful as I am today, Your Excellency."
"To celebrate my success, can you promise me something?"
"what's up?"
Luo Xiu remained calm as he watched the dazzling divine light gradually erode the body of the black-robed figure. His limbs began to rapidly carbonize, dissipating into his original demonic nature.
"If you take this kingdom outside, could you please not go looking for the third brother?"
The black-robed figure's face was contorted with pain, veins bulging on most of his face, yet his expression was surprisingly serene and peaceful.
“I know that people like you don’t like to leave any hidden dangers. If you go out, you will definitely go to find Lao San.”
"But the third brother has lost all his original demonic nature and is no longer considered a demon. The family will no longer acknowledge him. Can we give him a chance?"
In his final moments, the figure in black robes no longer spoke of so-called success.
He wanted to plead for his cousin.
That kid with the childlike spirit who chases after freedom is perhaps the closest person to him.
Luo Xiu neither agreed nor refused, because the figure in black robes could no longer hear him.
At this moment, the black-robed figure had been charred into charcoal by the divine light, and his expression was frozen in his final moment.
"I've already nipped the weeds in the bud."
Luo Xiu said softly.
Chapter 270 The End
With the death of the black-robed figure, the three demons surrounding the Land of Divine Remnants have all come to an end.
Without the black-robed figure injecting primal demonic energy, the dark sea of thunder gradually cracked, transforming into countless arcs of lightning that slowly dissipated. Among them, half of a charred, pitch-black bone wing was hidden within the sea of thunder, falling towards the ground.
Luo Xiu stopped looking at the corpse of the black-robed figure and turned to look at the god who had just emerged from the sea of lightning.
The black-robed figure's repeated attempts to delay him fueled his anger, and he could no longer maintain his arrogant demeanor, his eyes blazing with fury.
He looked at Luo Xiu, realizing that it was this human who had destroyed the canopy he had created, leaving him in such a sorry state.
And now, the divine light he had unleashed had failed to cause any real harm to this human, which was enough to show that the human in front of him was no ordinary being.
But, that's all.
He reached out his hand, and a sea of clouds and mist appeared behind him, instantly transforming into a giant hand that reached the sky and pressed down on Luo Xiu along with his movement.
Divine light shone from the surging sea below, reflecting onto the giant hand and making it even more solid. With an overwhelming pressure, it reached out to grab Luo Xiu.
