Chapter 2679 - 2678: The Demons' Plot, The Truth of the Past

He put away the orb in front of him.

Then, carrying decay and death, he slowly walked out of the coffin.

"Little one, who are you?"

"Since you have come here, you must be after this thing too."

Qiu Baiyin's expression changed slightly.

The aura on the old man made him feel both unfamiliar and familiar.

Moreover, the man's presence was so strong that even he felt intimidated.

He asked, "Are you the Black Dove monster?"

"Black Dove monster, Black Dove monster..."

The old man mumbled the name several times.

Then he began to laugh heartily.

"I almost forgot this name myself, didn't expect anyone to remember, how nostalgic!"

"Since you know this name, it seems you are an old friend."

"Do you still remember the Gai Family, the family that you wiped out?" Qiu Baiyin coldly asked.

After confirming the man's identity, Qiu Baiyin's expression became furious.

A blood feud, the murder of his father.

All the hatred combined.

Originally, he thought the man was dead, but unexpectedly he was still alive.

"The Gai Family," the old man raised his head, his eyes holding a hint of reminiscence.

He even shed tears.

"Ah, the Gai Family, of course, I remember."

"They were good people."

"When I was wandering here, about to die, it was the Gai Family who saved me, giving me a place to live, allowing me to survive."

"Since you know, why did you destroy my clan back then?" Qiu Baiyin angrily inquired.

No matter how many years have passed.

He still found it hard to forget.

To even accept it.

The Black Dove monster slowly raised his head.

His gaze held a hint of bitterness.

Then laughed again.

"I wanted to live."

"At that time, I was almost dying of old age, you know, the closer one gets to death, the more frightened they become."

"I didn't want to die."

"Later, I learned that your Gai Family had this Demon Pearl, something that could grant immortality."

"I killed your family, the Eternal Life Pearl was mine, I could live forever, live forever!"

The Black Dove monster's tone started to become frenzied.

Seemingly filled with endless resentment.

"So, are you immortal now?" Qiu Baiyin asked.

The Black Dove monster shook his head.

"Ever since I got the Demon Pearl, I kept it by my side day and night.

Even after being buried, I never gave up studying it."

"Though my life was preserved, every day was a constant struggle, unable to do anything.

Every movement brought endless pain, feelings that made death seem preferable."

"It was belief that kept me going."

Saying this, the Black Dove monster's gaze held a pleading and manic look.

"Since you are part of the Gai Family, surely you know how to use this Demon Pearl."

"Tell me, hurry and tell me."

The Black Dove monster said, suddenly becoming insane, his emotions highly uncontrollable.

Only to hear him roar angrily, and rushed towards Qiu Baiyin.

Qiu Baiyin's strength was indeed formidable.

His surroundings were shrouded in genetic chains, which directly bound the old man.

Following that, Qiu Baiyin launched a punch.

He practiced the Old Universe Cultivation System.

Thus, his Divine Soul was weak, but his body was incredibly powerful.

Genetics transformed into a longsword in his hand, striking fiercely towards the Black Dove monster.

[Boom—]

This sword directly pierced through the Black Dove monster's flesh, but the man seemed unaffected by pain.

Suddenly roared.

Broke from all the chains binding him.

Then moved at astonishing speed.

Grabbed the genetic sword with one hand, crushing it completely.

With the other hand, he grabbed Qiu Baiyin's neck, pulling him close.

It seemed with a gentle squeeze he could snap Qiu Baiyin's neck.

"Tell me, quickly tell me how I can absorb the power inside the Demon Pearl."

The Black Dove monster roared loudly and asked.

"You want to know," Qiu Baiyin asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"Then let me tell you, this Demon Pearl has never been a means of granting immortality, do you believe me?"

Qiu Baiyin said sarcastically.

"Impossible, kid, you're trying to deceive me."

The Black Dove monster's grip tightened, making Qiu Baiyin almost suffocate.

"Don't try to trick me."

"If this Demon Pearl wasn't significant, why would your Gai Family value it so much?

Even when I killed your entire family, your parents wouldn't reveal a word."

"Beneath Black Mountain, an ancient demon is sealed."

"That demon once wreaked havoc upon the world, an Immortal passed through, captured the demon, and sealed it within Black Mountain."

Qiu Baiyin said.

"The Demon Pearl is the key to the seal."

"My family has been the Guardians of that seal for generations, how pitiful that you thought it would grant immortality?"

"Impossible, I've survived to this day thanks to the Demon Pearl," the Black Dove monster still refused to believe.

"Otherwise I would have died long ago."

"Look at your body, haven't you noticed anything amiss over the years?"

Qiu Baiyin countered.

Originally, he too thought the Black Dove monster had perished.

But now seeing the man again, Qiu Baiyin realized many things.

"Our family has a treasured painting, I can show you."

Qiu Baiyin said.

The Black Dove monster stared at Qiu Baiyin, seeing he wasn't lying.

Then released his grip on the neck, giving Qiu Baiyin a chance to breathe.

Qiu Baiyin took out a painting from his person.

The painting slowly unfolded.

The Black Dove monster looked at the painting, his expression constantly changing.

For the painting depicted an Immortal vanquishing a demon.

The Immortal aside, the demon's form and appearance closely resembled the Black Dove monster.

As if the two were merging more and more.

"Impossible, impossible," the Black Dove monster kept retreating, seemingly unable to believe the scene before him.

But Qiu Baiyin mocked to the extreme.

"You think you're going to live forever?"

"In fact, you're nothing more than the demon's puppet."

"Wait, soon you'll become his vessel."

"You're spouting nonsense, nonsense."

The Black Dove monster seemed shattered, rushing straight at Qiu Baiyin.

To him, the immortal goal pursued all his life turned out to be a lie.

This blow wasn't something just anyone could stomach.

He roared.

And Qiu Baiyin seemed resigned to fate.

In his view, what demons did was irrelevant now.

Yet the Black Dove clan was utterly finished.

Their ancestor became the demon's vessel, while others were already fighting outside.

This race has no future.

In such a situation, even if he dies, the great vengeance is considered repaid.

But then, in the next moment.

Just as the Black Dove monster's claws fell upon Qiu Baiyin.

A blade suddenly appeared, directly severing the Black Dove monster's claws.

The Black Dove monster roared furiously.
