Chapter 541: Chapter 409 Pollution Qi! The Merit Scroll Upgrades Again!_2

Boom!

The heavy gates burst into a violent roar.

Roar!!

Clang clang!!

With Qin Zheng’s arrival, the monster became even more violent, striving to charge at Qin Zheng.

But in its blood-red eyes, there was now a dense craving and madness.

Strange!

Even those Great Demons sealed in the Void Spirit Realm that I encountered before still possessed rationality.

Yet, this one before me truly resembles a beast stripped of reason, acting purely on instinct!

How could a member of the Human race turn into such a state?

Qin Zheng slowly stepped forward, inspecting the creature closely, confirming that this monster was once, in distant times past, the Sect Master of the Nine Yang Immortal Sect.

After scanning the surroundings to make sure there were no other suspicious entities.

He walked up to the monster and calmly said, "Do you still remember Xu Fusheng?"

Within the memory illusion of the Heart Demon, Qin Zheng had seen how dearly this one used to cherish Xu Fusheng.

Even with cataclysms impending, he tried every means to send Xu Fusheng to another world.

Qin Zheng wanted to see, upon mentioning the name ’Xu Fusheng,’ whether the other party would react.

Sure enough, after Qin Zheng spoke the name, the monster did respond, its struggling roar momentarily faltering.

But it was only for a moment before it resumed its ferociousness, and its actions grew even more frenzied.

"Eat! Eat! Eat!"

It opened its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and the corners of its mouth continued to split open, with new teeth constantly sprouting.

Its body too began to undergo a transformation, gradually expanding, leaving human form behind, as if morphing into a true monster.

And strands of eerie black qi began to seep out from its body.

Qin Zheng had been watching the other calmly, but as this black qi appeared, his expression subtly changed.

Crack!!

Boom!

The chains that bound the creature broke at this moment, and the monster suddenly lunged forward, right up to Qin Zheng.

"Eat!!"

It had completely lost any human semblance, having transformed into a full-blown monster, its enormous mouth making up half of its form.

And within that mouth were densely packed, gleaming sharp teeth.

Qin Zheng flicked his finger.

Boom!

The monster was instantly sent flying backwards, crashing deep into the hall.

It seemed dazed, not expecting the Human before it to be so powerful.

But its remaining scraps of rationality were quickly drowned by the desire to devour flesh and the rage from being blown away.

Roar!!

With intense roars, the black qi on its body began to grow in quantity and density.

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, then before the monster could charge again, he thrust out his right hand and clenched it abruptly.

Roar... crack!

The roaring ceased abruptly.

The dense black qi surging around the creature dissipated as if a breach had been made.

And in Qin Zheng’s hand, there was now a wisp of black qi so pure it was at the peak of purity.

This strand of black qi, as if sentient, began to struggle violently after being captured by Qin Zheng.

A chill burst forth from his hand.

At that moment.

Buzz!

Above the Heart Sea, the Merit Scroll suddenly vibrated intensely, with lines of text swiftly appearing.

...

[Pollution Qi cannot be assimilated, dispose of it immediately!!]

[Expend ten thousand strands of Innate Merit to purify this wisp of Pollution Qi, proceed with purification?]

[Yes!]

...

Qin Zheng looked at the text on the Merit Scroll, his expression growing exceedingly grave.

He hadn’t given any command; it was entirely the Merit Scroll’s autonomous decision!

This was the first time since he acquired the Merit Scroll that he had witnessed such an event!

Subsequently, amidst the intense vibration of the Merit Scroll, immense and roaring Innate Merit surged out, merging into the strand of black qi.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Like a long river encompassing the heavens, the Innate Merit incessantly poured from Qin Zheng’s body, casting the entire hall in a resplendent glow.

However, that wisp of black qi was like a bottomless pit, endlessly consuming this Innate Merit.

Ten strands... a hundred strands... a thousand strands...

Three thousand strands... Five thousand strands... Seven thousand strands...

When the Innate Merit surged into the dark qi and reached nine thousand strands, the dense blackness of the dark qi finally diminished a few shades.

And that seemed to be the limit.

With the remaining Innate Merit flowing forth, the blackness above the dark qi began to fade rapidly at a visible rate.

Until the ten thousandth strand of Innate Merit flowed in, the original blackness had completely dissipated, transforming into pure white.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng’s furrowed brows gently relaxed, and the tension in his heart also slowed down.

It felt like he had resolved a significant issue.

But then, Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a serious look emerged once again.

Pollution Qi...

The Sect Master of Nine Yang Immortal Sect had transformed into such a monstrous form due to being contaminated by this strand of Pollution Qi!

Without the Merit Scroll, would I have also been at great risk of being contaminated by that strand of Pollution Qi and turn into a monster?

At that moment, with myriad thoughts surging through Qin Zheng’s mind, he instantly recalled the warning given by the Merit Scroll when refining some statues earlier.

Contamination!

Those statues were also contaminated!

Does it mean that within those statues, there is also the presence of Pollution Qi?

Or does it mean...

The Immortal Gods those statues represent were contaminated by the Pollution Qi?!

While Qin Zheng’s thoughts swiftly moved, he unconsciously raised his head to glance above.

If that was the case...

Could the great battle in the Nine Heavens all those years ago have been between the celestial Immortal Gods and the source of this Pollution Qi?

Faintly, Qin Zheng felt as though he had touched upon some hidden secret.

However, just an instant later, Qin Zheng suppressed such thoughts to the bottom of his heart and ceased to ponder deeper.

What the truth really is.

First, I need to break through and ascend to a higher realm as soon as possible to have the confidence to face the truth directly.

He then looked at the strand of white qi in his hand.

Compared to the previously dark qi, this strand of white qi was much gentler, quietly held in Qin Zheng’s grasp without the slightest struggle.

But Qin Zheng could clearly feel that within this strand of white qi was contained some unknown, extremely powerful force.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Merit Scroll vibrated once again, and text emerged simultaneously.

....

[Unknown source energy, efficacy unknown, use with caution!]

...

Looking at the prompt given by the Merit Scroll, Qin Zheng’s eyes sparkled.

Unknown...

Even the Merit Scroll was oblivious to the efficacy of this strand of white qi!

This once again refreshed Qin Zheng’s understanding of the Merit Scroll.

But then, this strand of unknown white qi, as if sensing something, suddenly blended into the palm of Qin Zheng’s hand.

And in the next moment, it directly appeared in his Heart Sea, rushing straight into the Merit Scroll at the center of the Heart Sea.

Buzz!

The Merit Scroll instantly brightened with intense light!

In just an instant, it turned the Heart Sea into a sea of golden light.

Soon after, an unstoppable formless power also spread out from the Merit Scroll.

Below the shock and anger, the spirit Qin Zheng sent into the Heart Sea to intercept the white qi was instantly expelled from the Heart Sea by this force.

Whoosh!

Qin Zheng’s spirit returned, his gaze was focused yet not panicked.

The white qi had already been purified of the contaminating essence within it; it should be harmless.

Moreover, in terms of the past performance of the Merit Scroll, it should possess spirituality and not be easily contaminated.

Most importantly, the recent turmoil in the Heart Sea was seemingly identical to the last time the Merit Scroll underwent transformation.

In this fleeting instant, Qin Zheng’s thoughts surged, forcing himself to calm down.

After clearing these thoughts, when he immersed his spirit back into the Heart Sea, he still sensed the invisible force.

But this power was gentle and emitted merit golden light that calmed Qin Zheng’s spirit.

After a long observation, Qin Zheng let his spirit return to the outside world and then turned towards the monster that had separated from the dark qi.

At this time, the monster’s body, free of the dark qi, shrank back into its human form, and its chest faintly heaved with breath.

Qin Zheng immediately stepped forward, flicking a strand of black flame onto the other’s body, pulling back some of the remaining lifeforce.

"Do you still remember Xu Fusheng?"

Qin Zheng spoke again.

He wanted to see if the other’s consciousness could regain clarity and inquire where that strand of dark qi had come from!
