Chapter 64: Pride Goes Before a Fall

  Lin Huang emerged from the land of creation with an expressionless face, his divine body perfectly round, the joy of enlightenment in the red dust unable to calm the killing intent and anger in his heart.

  The move of the Great Zen Master made Lin Huang's heart have lingering fears, almost being disrupted from his path, and could only become a fellow traveler of the Great Zen Master, striving to achieve the Great Zen Master's way. Although not becoming a puppet, he had lost his own path from then on.

  This hatred will never end until one of us dies.

  Although he didn't know how the Great Zen Master had perceived himself and made his move, it didn't prevent Lin Huang from knowing that at this moment, he had truly stood among the saints of all realms, gaining the qualification to contend with them. From now on, the great dao would be in contention, and they would seize the opportunity to become a god in one line.

  "It's interesting. I just made a move at the origin of the war. This great Zen master is eagerly intervening. Interesting, interesting."

  Lin's emotions calmed down and he fell into deep thought.

  "Great Sage."

  Suddenly, the sound of blood Ling's voice awakened Lin Huang from his deep thought.

  "What's going on?" Lin Huang said indifferently, somewhat displeased.

  "The Great Sage. In recent days, we have discovered that a group of unyielding people have joined forces, which may be detrimental to the Great Sage." Blood Linglong spoke up.

  Lin's eyebrows rose slightly, but he didn't have a strong feeling about it. Apparently, this matter posed no threat to him, and he wasn't interested in getting to the bottom of it either. He nodded, "Got it."

  "After saying that, Lin Huang suddenly let out a cold laugh, 'It seems that if I don't kill people, they think I'm very benevolent.'"

  The cold words made her heart tighten, and she didn't know why Lin Huang reacted so greatly that he actually harbored murderous intentions.

  Xue Linglong naturally didn't know that Lin Huang had been ambushed in the land of creation, so she also didn't know why he was enraged. However, she felt the killing intent on his body that could distort heaven and earth, and didn't dare ask more questions. In her heart, she coldly laughed, having already sentenced those people to death.

  Among those who were sentenced to death by Blood Linglong, Xu Qingcheng was making his final preparations.

  "Today is the day of the final battle."

  Although this collaboration has many geniuses, Xu Qingcheng can still stand out and become the leader. Although she couldn't make others look up to her, what she says is basically not opposed by anyone.

  "His strength, everyone has seen it in the past few days. To be honest, that's enough to make people despair." As soon as Xu Qingcheng spoke, everyone's face turned solemn.

  "But I never thought of giving up. My pride, your pride, does not allow us to give up. We can admit that our elders are stronger than us because we know that one day, our pride, our talent, will enable us to surpass them."

  "But he... He's of our generation. If we give up like this, without even daring to challenge him, then we'll always be living in his shadow."

  "My pride doesn't allow it, my hard work doesn't allow it, my efforts don't allow it. Even if I lose in the end, I still have to fight! Fight! Fight!"

  "Pride will not kill! The fight will not stop!"

  Xu Qingcheng's simple words ignited a fierce battle intent in everyone.

  Xu Qingcheng has never denied that she is a proud person, because she has the qualifications to be proud. She became the first seed player of the First Martial Arts Tournament not by relying on her sect or her parents, but by relying on her own efforts.

  Maybe many people will say that if she wasn't the daughter of the Taoyi Sect's leader, if she wasn't the core disciple of Tiānshén Academy, if she wasn't born with a rare and powerful physique... then what made Xǔ Qīngchéng become the national goddess, becoming the most watched person among this generation's numerous geniuses?

  But Xu Qingcheng never cared about these things, her pride was the twenty years of hard work and self-cultivation, the efforts she had never given up on, the joy of step by step approaching her dreams.

  This is her pride, not her identity.

  Even if Xun Qingcheng is an ordinary person, as long as he can see his own efforts and the joy of getting closer to his dreams step by step, he can still be extremely proud.

  Pride has nothing to do with others, ask your heart, as long as you feel that your efforts can make you proud, even if you get nothing in return, you can still be a proud person.

  Be a proud person, because as long as pride doesn't kill you, you won't stop striving.

  Xu Qingcheng is such a proud person, Taiyi Jin is also such a proud person, Fengdao is also such a proud person, and Yuantian Gang is also a proud person.

  Because they have their own direction to go, they will absolutely not fall easily.

  Pride will not die, battle will not stop.

  Xu Qingcheng had short hair that reached her ears, losing a bit of soft beauty but gaining a bit of stubbornness and pride. With a wave of her hand, "Let's set off."

  Taiyi Jin, Tianjian Hou, Hongren Yi, and many other geniuses who refused to put down their pride and were willing to fight to the death walked down the mountain ridge, heading towards Lin Huang's palace.

  A fierce and proud aura burst forth, countless beliefs merged together, and astonishingly formed a straight smoke signal visible to the naked eye in the sky. The smoke signal shot up three thousand feet, rolling in and shocking people.

  "This is the trend, it's a gathering of momentum. This group of people, they're not simple."

  Wu Kong was shocked in his heart, the actions of this group of people actually they had already sensed something was off, but all thought it was laughable, without having personally witnessed Lin Huang's ferocity, this group of people would never know what kind of desperate existence they were trying to challenge.

  Wu Kong had thought more than once that when this group of people came with full confidence, only to be beaten to death by Lin Huang, the despair would definitely have a comedic effect.

  But at this moment, the wolf smoke was seen far away, three thousand feet high, condensed into a mighty momentum, proud and tragic beliefs filled the sky, making Wu Kong have a kind of abandon darkness and turn to light, and Lin Huang's desperate mood to fight to the death.

  But soon Wu Kong suppressed this surging emotion, his heart already had a shadow, not just him, but also Shi Wang, Xue Linglong, Tun Bao, and all those who chose to obey Lin Huang.

  They have acknowledged Lin Huang's superiority and abandoned their own pride.

  To put it nicely, it's enduring humiliation and bearing heavy responsibilities. To put it harshly, it's living in a state of ignominy and stealing a livelihood.

  But this is Wu Kong's choice, the path he has chosen for himself, and even if he has to crawl, he will see it through.

  It's impossible to say there is no regret.

  But Wu Kong knew that Xue Linglong was right. The situation had evolved to this point, and by surrendering to Lin Huang, they could gain the greatest benefit.

  This is the most rational choice, although it abandons pride and glory. But sometimes it's precisely because of having cried, knelt down, and lowered one's head that there is glory. Thirty years of being a beast of burden for all living things, and then sixty years of being revered as a dragon or an elephant.

  Wu Kong admired the choice of Xu Qingcheng and others, but only admired it. His gaze turned to Xue Linglong who walked out of the palace, indicating whether it was time to intercept her.

  Xue Linglong also saw the rolling wolf smoke in the distance, straight up to the sky, the more miserable, the more proud.

  Shaking her head, Xue Linglong said with some regret: "Lin Huang is very angry. It's a pity about these people."
