Chapter 1489: Holding a Chess Piece, Unable to Decide
After the Mysterious Gate and the Buddhist Schools fell into decline, no one could stop the Taotie.
Jiu Fengchun's bouts of madness grew increasingly frequent. His bottomless appetite kept him in the state of the Taotie for long periods, devoid of reason. He absorbed Spiritual Energy and devoured cultivators and mortals alike. Wherever he passed, all living beings fled, rivers and mountains ceased their flow, and vegetation withered.
Xiao Dongxu constantly followed behind him. With every place they passed, he witnessed the tragic devastation, and killing intent inevitably stirred within him.
But how could he kill him?
Could he even kill him?
Xiao Dongxu looked up at the sky. Even heaven's will, in the unseen workings of fate, tacitly permitted this. What could people like them, living beneath the heavens, possibly do?
The Mysterious Gate had retreated, the demonic path ran rampant, and the Literary Dao was using its meager remaining strength to sustain the world.
Under such circumstances, was there any point in planning further?
Xiao Dongxu could not see even a sliver of hope.
