The white-robed man and the black-robed man, in order to search for the remnant scroll, did not hesitate to use the Heaven and Earth Reversal Great Law to illegally cross over to the mortal universe, and their cultivation was suppressed to the Wudi level.
Not a big problem.
Experts of this level could easily thrash mortal warriors of the same rank, so… an accident occurred, and by sheer coincidence they ran into Jun Changxiao after he’d gone dark!
Under normal circumstances, several cheat-using Dog Shengs combined couldn’t defeat a Wudi, but at this moment with Rose Empress assisting and the power of the stone statue augmenting him, he was ridiculously strong!
Thus, these two high-level experts who resembled the Black and White Impermanence became punching bags on the Soul Clan Continent, crazily tormented by the darkened Jun Changxiao.
And indeed, these two brothers were truly super durable. Even after being continuously pressed to the ground and violently ground down, though one had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes while the other was foaming at the mouth, they still tenaciously managed not to pass out.
The process of wild abuse was too cruel, so we won’t describe it in detail.
In any case, the appearance of these two super punching bags allowed the handsome-character man to escape, and attracted all of Jun Changxiao’s firepower, preventing him from doing even more cruel things, such as… massacring Soul Clan living beings and destroying the entire plane.
“Boom!”
An hour later, the Black and White Impermanence were embedded in a deep crater.
“You… you despicable…” The white-robed man struggled to assume a pose on the ground and said, “Don’t think I can’t beat you. I just don’t want to harm innocents. Come on!”
“Bang!”
A foot viciously kicked over.
The white-robed man’s entire head sank into the ground, his hands and legs trembling slightly.
“…”
The black-robed man buried his entire face in the dirt, pretending he had already been beaten unconscious.
“Huff!”
“Huff!”
Jun Changxiao didn’t continue his assault. Instead, with a ferocious expression, he clutched his head with both hands, grimacing and howling as he looked up, his voice reverberating through the shattered space like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.
“Bai Luocha, are you still alive?” the black-robed man transmitted.
The white-robed man whose entire head was embedded in the dirt said, “Rest assured, if anyone dies first, it’ll be you.”
“…”
The black-robed man said, “This guy has completely gone dark. We must find a way to break free, otherwise even with indestructible bodies, we’ll be beaten to death.”
“If our cultivation hadn’t been suppressed, how could this mortal trash harm even a single hair on our bodies!” the white-robed man said angrily.
The black-robed man transmitted, “Stop saying useless things. For now, the only option is for you and me to join forces and use the Heaven and Earth Sealing Great Law to bind this guy, then we’ll have a chance to escape.”
“I really don’t want to cooperate with you!”
“You think I do!”
Although the two had similar strength and practiced the same martial arts, they found each other unpleasant to look at, and fighting and bickering had become their daily routine.
“You in or not!”
“In!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The white-robed man and black-robed man seemed to have telepathy, simultaneously slapping the ground, their entire bodies spinning as they flew up.
If it had been the handsome-character man, after being abused by Jun Changxiao for so long, he would have long since been severely injured and unconscious. But these two experts from the upper realm could still rise so flamboyantly—their physical bodies were truly strong!
“Swish! Swish!”
The Black and White Impermanence hung suspended in midair, their mouths chanting something.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Black and white phantoms separated from their bodies, then surrounded Jun Changxiao. They all assumed cross-legged positions, like the Eighteen Arhats chanting sutras and incantations.
“Whoosh!”
Flowing light shot skyward, the barrier taking substantial form.
This was the Heaven and Earth Sealing Great Law—essentially an alternative sealing formation with people as the formation nodes.
After the solid barrier condensed, Jun Changxiao emerged from his agony, his eyes becoming even more blood-red, that violent aura growing even stronger, truly resembling a demon walking out from hell.
“…”
The Black and White Impermanence furrowed their brows.
The Stone Statue Clan, renowned in the upper realm as the most crazed and battle-loving, had actually appeared in a mortal plane, and had even used their divine ability to completely go dark—that was absolutely an existence capable of destroying heaven and earth!
“Bai Luocha!”
The black-robed man said gravely, “Since you and I have met, why don’t we act on behalf of heaven and eliminate him? Perhaps when we return to the upper realm we can receive lighter punishment!”
He had initially planned to seal him up and run, but now changed his mind. Mainly because illegally crossing to the mortal realm was already a mistake—if he could help this lower plane survive a great calamity, perhaps he could offset his merits against his faults.
“Good!”
Bai Luocha agreed readily.
He wasn’t thinking about reducing punishment from the upper realm, but rather that having just arrived in the mortal universe and been wildly abused, this grudge must be settled!
“After the Stone Statue Clan’s divine ability is activated, it has a time limit. We just need to hold this guy off until that violent aura within his body is completely exhausted!” the black-robed man said.
“How long?”
“At shortest two or three hours, at longest two or three days.”
“…”
The white-robed man’s mouth twitched slightly.
Two or three hours would be acceptable, but if they really had to endure for two or three days, even if they exhausted the violent aura within that guy, they themselves would probably collapse from exhaustion.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Just then, Jun Changxiao within the Heaven and Earth Sealing Formation had already begun bombarding the barrier walls, immediately producing rippling waves of energy.
“Hold firm!”
Hei Luocha steadied his spirit and shouted, “Don’t let him break through!”
The white-robed man hurriedly focused his concentration, channeling powerful soul force into the formation barrier, reinforcing it comprehensively to prevent that darkened person from breaking out.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Jun Changxiao had completely lost his reason, his mind filled only with thoughts of destruction, so he bombarded the defensive barrier with everything he had.
Two days later.
The Black and White Impermanence still sat cross-legged in midair.
The shadows they had each manifested continued chanting like monks.
Over those twenty-plus hours, Jun Changxiao had continuously bombarded the sealing formation. Although he hadn’t managed to break it open, the burden placed on the two brothers was tremendous.
Another day passed.
The bombardment force from within gradually weakened, finally allowing the Black and White Impermanence to breathe a long sigh of relief.
“Huff!”
“Huff huff!”
Within the sealing formation, Jun Changxiao stood panting in place.
At this moment, his eyes alternated between blood-red and clear, and the violent aura within his body was gradually subsiding.
“Thud!”
And when that force controlling his behavior receded like the tide, Jun Changxiao collapsed directly to the ground, his consciousness that had been lost in endless void also regaining control of his sea of consciousness.
“You damn fool!”
Just as he regained clarity, a deafening roar came, “I told you not to use the stone statue, why won’t you listen!”
Having used it twice before, Jun Changxiao wasn’t too confused. Lying on the ground resting briefly, he inquired, “What about that Pirate King guy?”
“You beat him away.”
“Did I complete the main quest?”
“No.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao said nothing more.
His body now felt completely drained, without a shred of strength.
“Whoosh!”
Just then, the defensive barrier surrounding them dissipated, and the Black and White Impermanence descended with slightly haggard expressions, both coldly regarding Jun Changxiao.
“Boy.”
The white-robed man crouched down, saying indifferently, “Weren’t you so tough? Get up and fight us.”
“You… who are you?”
“…”
The system hurriedly explained what had happened over the past few days.
Jun Changxiao learned he had used the two as punching bags for a long time, and said apologetically, “You two… this… is a misunderstanding. Please let me explain.”
“Swish!”
The white-robed man grabbed Dog Sheng by the collar, roaring, “Let me abuse you first, then I’ll listen to your explanation. How about that!”
“Huff huff!”
Suddenly, green energy surged from within Jun Changxiao’s body, his full head of green hair instantly returning to black.
This sudden change made the white-robed man’s expression shift, and then he smelled the rich scent of roses wafting through the air.
The Rose Empress, having separated from Jun Changxiao’s body, stood behind him. She summoned the Red Lotus Demon Moon Blade, its sharp edge pressed against his neck, her voice icy, “Abuse him? I don’t consent.”
