The Curse of the Green Parrot—A Sudden and Terrifying Demise
Translated by Basingh.
The moment it happened, Blood Shadow sprang to her feet, her face filled with shock. She didn’t even realize when the wine cup in her hand slipped and shattered on the ground.
"Heavens..."
Countless powerful cultivators stared at Lu Ze and his group, their eyes filled with fear. Before them, green flames erupted from the bodies of Lu Ze and his companions, and in mere breaths, their skin sagged, their blood essence evaporated, and their once-vibrant hair turned stark white.
"What the hell is happening?!"
Lu Ze was utterly terrified. He roared in fury, unleashing his stellar power, forming a protective barrier in an attempt to resist the corrupting green light.
"Too late!"
A sinister voice rang out.
**"Once my Curse Light touches you, your fate is sealed.
A single beam of my curse, and you’ll turn green with fear!
Heh heh, now you know the power of your Grandpa Six!"**
Perched nearby, a green-feathered parrot cocked its head, speaking in human tongue. Its wings folded behind its back in an eerily humanlike stance, exuding an air of smug satisfaction.
"BZZZ... BZZZ..."
Despite Lu Ze’s protective shield, the green flames continued to eat away at them. The other cultivators also activated their own defenses, but just as the parrot had boasted—it was useless.
This curse energy was beyond terrifying. Formless, invisible, and impossible to dispel.
Panic set in.
"WHOOSH!"
Suddenly, a weaker cultivator aged too fast, his life force drained dry. His body collapsed into ashes, scattered by the wind.
But something horrifying remained.
Where he perished, a floating sphere of starlight was left behind—an eerie, phantom-like presence that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
That sphere of stellar energy, instead of dispersing, flowed into the barrier—straight toward Long Chen.
"WHOOOOSH!"
One after another, figures crumbled into dust, their flesh destroyed by the curse, yet their stellar essence remained.
Each glowing orb rushed toward Long Chen, like fireflies drawn to a great flame.
"Lord Blood Shadow, this curse… it's unstoppable?! How do we break it?"
A trembling voice came from one of Blood Shadow’s subordinates.
They had narrowly escaped death—thanks to Blood Shadow’s foresight. Otherwise, they would have shared Lu Ze’s fate.
Blood Shadow forced herself to stay calm, though her fingers trembled.
**"This curse specifically targets flesh and soul... but it cannot destroy stellar energy.
If they had immediately summoned their Eight-Star Battle Forms and maximized their Stellar Armor’s defenses, they might have resisted it.**
Her words were steady, but even she wasn’t entirely certain.
This curse was too fast, too unnatural.
Even more terrifying—no one had sensed its activation.
A battle-hardened warrior instinctively detects fatal danger, yet not a single alarm had gone off in their souls.
By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already over.
Blood Shadow clenched her fists. If she had been in Lu Ze’s place, she wouldn’t have reacted any differently.
This wasn’t stupidity.
This was a perfectly set death trap.
Her heart pounded with unease. She had anticipated fierce battles over the Qiankun Cauldron, but she hadn’t expected the true threat to be lurking in plain sight.
She had assumed Lu Ze’s reckless attempt to seize the cauldron would lead to his downfall.
She had never expected this kind of death.
"PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!"
One by one, bodies collapsed into dust, leaving behind only clusters of stellar energy that instinctively gravitated toward Long Chen.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
Lu Ze roared in despair.
He activated dozens of secret arts, desperately trying to purge the curse, but nothing worked.
All he could do was slow his own decay.
In a last act of defiance, he swung his Stellar Bone Claw, slamming it against the barrier.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Each strike weakened him further.
After the seventh or eighth hit, his breath was ragged.
Looking down at his arm—his once-powerful limb had withered, his skin hanging loose like old rags. His face was covered in age spots, and his eyes had turned murky and yellowed.
"THUMP."
His Stellar Bone Claw slipped from his grasp.
Before it could even hit the ground, it flashed with light and vanished—escaping on its own.
With Lu Ze’s soul about to fade into oblivion, his soul imprint shattered, and the weapon fled.
"Help... me..."
Lu Ze reached out toward Blood Shadow, his voice weak, pleading.
But she and her subordinates merely watched in silence, cold and unfeeling.
"WHOOSH!"
At last, Lu Ze’s body disintegrated.
A final sphere of stellar light remained… and it too drifted toward Long Chen.
"BUZZZZZZZ!"
Now, over 200,000 stellar orbs had merged into the barrier, passing through the Qiankun Cauldron, and entering the cocoon where Long Chen resided.
Inside that space, countless stars flickered, swirling like a compressed galactic ocean.
At its center—Long Chen sat in deep meditation, his hands forming intricate seals.
At his core, a tiny vortex of stellar energy spun, feeding into the flow of power.
As his stellar vortex churned, divine rings materialized behind him—one after another.
The final black divine ring manifested just as Lu Ze’s stellar essence was absorbed into Long Chen’s Nirvana Space.
"Lord Blood Shadow! What kind of sinister technique is this?! Is he devouring our strength to ascend?!"
One of her warriors stammered in horror.
Blood Shadow’s expression was grim. The sight before her defied everything she knew.
Before them, eight radiant divine rings spun slowly.
The endless starlight made Long Chen appear like a celestial war god, too brilliant to look upon.
**"What… what are those divine rings?
Why is their energy so... strange?
And why does he have no life-mark sigil on his forehead?
What the hell is he doing?!"**
She narrowed her eyes, trying to comprehend the monstrous transformation unfolding before her.
"BOOM!"
A deafening explosion shook the void.
From within the eight divine rings, a massive starry gate opened.
The moment it did—an overwhelming, primal force surged out.
The sheer pressure made every warrior gasp for breath.
"DAMN IT!"
Blood Shadow clenched her fists.
Her instincts screamed—Long Chen was on the verge of awakening a power beyond comprehension.
She had to stop him.
Yet… her gaze flickered to the green-feathered parrot, that sinister menace watching from the side.
She hesitated.
She had to stop Long Chen.
But the moment her eyes landed on that sinister green-feathered parrot—she hesitated.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
—!!!—
One after another, Celestial Star Gates ignited within the divine halo.
And the instant the eighth Star Gate opened—
Lu Ze and his men, now transformed into orbs of radiant light, were instantly devoured by the eight gates.
RUMBLE—!!
From within those eight towering Star Gates, eight celestial bodies emerged.
They were stars, yet their radiance flared wildly, like newborn suns erupting into existence.
Long Chen’s presence surged—
Majestic. Overwhelming. Divine.
“Almost there! Just a little more!”
Kun Ding’s voice trembled with urgency as it gazed at the stars beyond the gate.
Those were Long Chen’s Primal Eight Stars—drifting ever closer to their destined alignment within the Star Gate.
This was it.
Long Chen’s path was now fully revealed.
The Star Gate’s formation had always been a prelude—a stage set for the true awakening of the Eight-Star Battle Physique!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As the eight celestial stars converged, they hungrily absorbed the surrounding stellar energy.
Yet, something was still missing.
That final spark of power.
A fraction too weak—an alignment just shy of perfection—unable to fully merge with the Star Gate.
Kun Ding’s anxiety deepened.
And then—
BOOM!!!
The void tore apart with an earth-shattering explosion!
Reality collapsed in massive swathes—
And from the abyss of the broken world—
A colossal, ancient bronze cauldron surged into existence!
"Kun… It’s time to return.
Become a part of me once more.”
A voice echoed—
Holy. Majestic. Cold. Merciless.
The voice of a god… bathed in blood.
Final Thoughts:
The Curse of the Green Parrot was an execution—swift, silent, and absolute.
Lu Ze and his warriors never stood a chance.
But now, Long Chen stands on the threshold of something even greater.
**The celestial gates have opened.
What awaits on the other side?**
Stay tuned. 🔥
