Chapter 2810
People believed him after seeing the mark fall off his forehead because they knew nothing about the sin tribe, having only heard about its existence without any detail .
The sinkins that used to live in Repentance were gone now and haven’t shown up since .
Deng Rensen started doubting himself too due to a lack of knowledge . He only read about them in the ancient scrolls, just little tidbits here and there .
The youth’s comment seems to make sense . Even Shimao’s fellow students exchanged glances and found this to be a logical explanation .
After all, Shimao forcefully broke Li Qiye’s mark along with the seal . That’s why darkness surged into him .
Little did they know that Li Qiye was making the whole thing up in order to play with them .
“Elder Deng, help me!” Shimao screamed again .
A full section of bone spurs has finished growing on his back . They were extremely sharp and shiny at the tip .
“Go!” Rensen saw the unfavorable situation and exuded holy light .
A large pair of light wings materialized behind him . His light then focused on Shimao’s body .
“Boom!” It looked like a pulse shooting straight at the youth’s heart .
Deng Rensen wanted to use his mighty light affinity in order to wash away the darkness inside Shimao .
“Ah!” The youth screamed even more after being struck by the pulse .
The darkness in his heart seemed to be receding for a split second . The color around his chest became regular once more .
“Raaa!” This didn’t last long . He suddenly turned into a fierce beast with red eyes .
A terrible aura erupted as if a devil had taken over him . The darkness grew in power and arrogance . His chest turned black again with scales growing once more .
“Raaa!” This bestial state and frightening visage of his scared the students nearby .
“Zzz-” The darkness spread through the pulse and headed for straight Deng Rensen . It wanted to turn the light into darkness along with this old man .
“Break!” Rensen added more power to the light affinity . He summoned a treasure - a holy scepter that poured out boundless light .
The pulse became more powerful and pushed back against the darkness .
The darkness plaguing the pulse instantly dispersed . Alas, Shimao was still wrapped in darkness despite the light overwhelming him .
“Teacher, we’re coming!” All the students that followed him took action .
Their light gathered together into a majestic force shooting straight for Shimao .
“Ah!” The youth screamed again . Unfortunately, the power of the light seemed futile here . The darkness continued to consume it .
As the light grew stronger, so did the darkness through consumption .
“Throw him into Repentance Pond!” The alarmed Rensen shouted after seeing darkness crawling towards them through the pulse again .
“The pond?!” His students didn’t expect this .
“Go!” Rensen decisively stopped trying to purify the darkness on Shimao .
“Splash!” The pulse then pushed him flying straight into the pond .
The pond instantly became resplendent . The water turned back to their original form - the holiest light .
This “water” engulfed him and seemed to be burning him .
“Ah!” The pain must be intolerable, causing his face to become twisted and ferocious .
However, this blazing light seemed to be effective in burning away the darkness on him .
Thus, the darkness tried to escape from the youth but it was trapped by the power of the pond now . Each dark strand got incinerated into smoke .
The screams from the boy never stopped . Though the darkness was leaving his body, he was still twitching, his eyes all white . Being tortured by two powerful affinities was too much for his body to take .
“That’s bad…” The native students knew that there was no saving him .
The water from the pond was the purest light power . Rumor has it that Desolate Saint used this place to try and purify sinners in the past and that the manifestation of water here came from the dao source itself .
After millions of years, the light power here naturally weakened but still had plenty of might .
Being washed by the light was very beneficial - cleansing both the impurities and dispersing one’s mental demon . However, this depended on the intensity of the light .
The light from this pond was just too pure . Just this little pond alone had enough light affinity to incubate a vast area like Repentance City .
Once thrown in this pond, the terrifying yet holy water would wash away all evil in one’s mind .
The problem was, no one is perfect . Everyone had evil thoughts in them . Not too many people had a dao heart strong enough to withstand this cleansing .
Staying in the pond for a long time had a serious effect . One could become kinder and purer, but abusing this could also turn them into a fool . They would lose their memories and intelligence, leaving only the physical husk behind .
The natives believed that this was the case for the twitching Shimao right now even if he were to survive .
However, Deng Rensen had no intention of helping the youth since the darkness earlier truly frightened him .
He was a very powerful cultivator but still couldn’t suppress that darkness earlier despite having the help of many students .
He thought that there might be more darkness hiding in Shimao . That’s why he let the youth stay in the pond and let the light ravage him .
In his mind, this sacrifice was necessary so that not a single strand of darkness could escape .
“Senior Deng, I don’t think Lu Shimao can last much longer . ” Qiushi kindly said since he couldn’t bear to see Shimao squirming in agony .
“It’s fine, let him accept the light . It will grant him a lifetime of benefits . ” Rensen was unmoved .
The natives became afraid of Rensen’s ruthlessness . No one from Repentance would dare to go in that pond since they knew the terrible consequence . It looked like Rensen didn’t mind letting the boy turn into a fool .
