Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 431 The Butcher's Knife

Whether a drunkard or a butcher, they are not actually bloodthirsty people!

They just want to live, to live forever. This obsession has troubled them for countless years. As they live longer, this obsession becomes deeper and deeper, gradually turning into a demon!

Living too long is not a good thing. They have gradually forgotten why they want to live. Countless years have passed, and they just live simply for the sake of living.

In order to survive, they abandoned everything, including the meaning of their own existence and their own hearts!

……

The fire in his heart was burning, and the murmuring of scriptures echoed in his ears. The butcher groaned, and it was as if the fog had been swept away, and his heart became clearer and brighter than ever before.

He thought back to the glorious past. At that time, as his cultivation level continued to improve, he also had more desires and wanted to explore more mysteries. He was extremely curious about this world...

He once doubted himself, and then doubted Haotian, and wanted to go to the sky to take a look, but he was afraid!

So he hesitated for a long time, until the eternal night came!
The world fell into darkness, countless people died, and Haotian was reaping every life...

The butcher survived with great difficulty. In order to survive, he did many things, many things that seemed unimaginable to him before...

There was also a drunkard who survived with him, and they lived together.

The ambitions they once had disappeared, and only huge fear remained in their hearts. Fear made them huddle together for warmth, fear made them hide from place to place, fear made them dare not raise their heads, fear made them have no more thoughts...

At this moment, while mumbling scriptures and with his heart burning, the butcher suddenly thought of a question: What was he afraid of?
Are you afraid of Haotian?
Or are you afraid of what you did in the eternal night?
He chopped meat with a knife every day. The meat was naturally pork, mutton and beef, but his chopping movements were extremely skillful and his techniques were honed over time... Just like the corpses he chopped during the Eternal Night!
So the butcher likes to chop meat, but he never eats the meat he chops!

……

Not long after the Master ascended to heaven, the butcher still remembered the day when the drunkard was still laughing at the Master, saying that the Master was stupid, that for those inexplicable ideas, he was going to give up his immortality and fight against Haotian, who he could never defeat...

The butcher also joined in the laughter. Now that he thought about it, were they laughing at the Master or at himself?
They have lost all their courage, so when someone does something they once wanted to do but now dare not even think about, they just laugh even louder to cover up their cowardice.

Because only in this way can they persist in their desire to "survive", and it has been like this for countless years... and it is also because of this that they have persisted for countless years!

It was on that day that the goddess appeared before the two of them.

Without any hesitation, he and the drunkard knelt down and buried their heads deep in the mud, worse than dogs.

The goddess did not kill them, but accepted them into the kingdom of God as a promise and let them work for her.

The butcher finally remembered how he felt at that moment. It was not relaxation, nor surprise, but... anger!
But this anger was hidden by a huge and false surprise.

The butcher's rage only truly erupted when he heard the drunkard's dying cries!

So he took a knife and came to the Moon Kingdom and the Qingjing Temple.

He did not think that since Qinghuan could kill the drunkard, he might be able to kill him as well... At that moment, he did not think about whether he would die or not. He was just filled with anger and wanted to vent it out.

For the first time in countless years, he put his own life and death behind him.

What is he angry about?
……

Inside the Buddhist hall of Qingjing Temple, under the gazes of Jun Mo and Qi Nian, a terrifying red flame suddenly surged from the butcher's body!

The fire did not burn his clothes, tables or chairs, at least not himself.

The flames bursting out of the butcher's eyes, ears, nose and tongue made him groan again, and his body trembled violently.

Qing Huan asked softly, "Who are you so angry about? Me?"

The butcher raised his head suddenly, his eyeballs replaced by blazing flames, and he opened his mouth, full of flames: "I want to chop off the sky!" Qing Huan smiled, a very kind smile, and said: "The knife is in your hand and in your heart. You have the final say on who you want to chop off!"

As he spoke, he reached out, ignoring the flames on the butcher's body, and gently pushed him in the chest.

This push made the fire in the butcher's chest surge violently!
This push also made the butcher disappear in the Buddhist hall of Qingjing Temple!

This push directly pushed the butcher to Taoshan, thousands of miles away, above the Xiling Temple.

Then the butcher drew his knife, and all the anger that had been accumulated for countless years was put into this one knife.

Then draw the knife.

The entire Taoshan Mountain was divided into two!
……

In Taoshan, Xiling, the priest Zhao Nanhai who came from the South China Sea was arguing with the dean of the Tianyu Academy about who should preside over the high priest of the Temple of Light.

Thousands of years ago, the High Priest of Light began to doubt Haotian, so he stole the "Ming" scroll from the Heavenly Book and founded the Ming Sect in the wilderness.

Six hundred years ago, the Great Priest of Light also began to doubt Haotian, so he planned to revise the Haotian Taoist Canon, but this triggered a power struggle. The Great Priest of Light left Taoshan and went to the South China Sea to preach, and made a vow that unless Haotian sent down a miracle or the Taoist sect admitted its mistake, he would never set foot on land for the rest of his life!
In the first year of the Apocalypse, another great priest of light saw the shadow of the night, and broke out of the cage after being imprisoned in the Youge Pavilion for more than ten years. Taoshan suffered heavy casualties, and finally the great priest of light died together with the most powerful talisman master.

The Great Priests of Light are regarded as the mortals closest to Haotian, and these three Great Priests of Light are the three most remarkable people in Xiling Temple over the past thousand years!
Zhao Nanhai is the current head of the branch of the Hall of Light established by the Great Priest of Light six hundred years ago, also known as the Great Priest of Nanhai.

The head of the Tianyu Academy once saw the future and was certain that the Daughter of Light Sangsang would return to Taoshan. For the sake of this prophecy, even though Sangsang became the daughter of Pluto and was hunted by the whole world, the priests of light still continued to protect the Daughter of Light with their lives.

Now that the Light Festival is about to be held, Zhao Nanhai, the master of the Nanhai Light Hall, has returned to Taoshan.

The dean of Tianyu Academy said in a deep voice: "Although you are from the Taoist sect, don't forget the oath that the Great Priest of the South Sea made when he left Taoshan."

Zhao Nanhai said expressionlessly, "We, the Nanhai clan, have never expected you, the corrupt people living on Taoshan, to admit your mistakes. But since you dared to hold the Light Festival, it naturally means that Haotian has sent down a miracle. We have returned from the South Sea, so how have we violated our oath?"

At this moment, everyone looked up in horror and gazed towards the sky above the temple.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the clear blue sky, with a terrible flame burning all over his body, causing the space where he was to distort.

The man was above the temple, and below him was the highest Saint of Light in the temple.

Then the man drew his knife.

Bright white light, accompanied by blazing fire, struck down from the sky, as if adding a straight baffle to the entire Taoshan Mountain, including the middle of the temple!

The temple, along with the entire Peach Mountain, was divided into two by this bright white barrier!
On this side of the baffle, it is half Peach Mountain and half temple, and on the other side of the baffle, it is also half Peach Mountain and half temple.

After the man in the sky slashed with the sword, he seemed to be satisfied and turned into ashes in the flames.

The knife light disappeared, and a smooth straight crack appeared, dividing the entire Taoshan Mountain into two.

Looking from afar, you can see the broken top floor of the temple. A pure and spotless perfect angel is standing in the center of the crack, looking up at the sky.

The goddess was radiating light all over her body, she was unharmed and expressionless, but everyone could feel her anger!
The anger in her heart was burning, and the light in her was also burning!

The goddess is angry!

She was angry that someone dared to stab her, and she was even more angry because that person was a dog she had chosen, a dog that had long lost all courage.

The butcher's knife didn't hurt her at all.

But the butcher's anger ignited the anger in her heart, so the goddess was furious! (End of this chapter)
