5Serene Darkness Mansion.
6
7Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin'er, and the white Wu Chang was sitting in the hall with the judges and the officers accompanying them. The dancers were waltzing like butterflies in the hall center. Delicacies of Hell and the best wine were served on the table.
8
9Some of the delicacies were even made from god spirits.
10
11These godly spirits were pure and devoid of any resident souls. They were condensed into only three-inches and sprinkled with spices to be served as Hell's speciality.
12
13One of the judges forked up a godly spirit and gladly devoured it.
14
15"Nice, truly scrumptious!" He exclaimed.
16
17Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er felt too uncomfortable to eat the godly spirits. Although Zhong Yue had heard from Xin Huo once saying monster god inner cores had been handpicked and served as delicacies long ago, consuming living godly spirits was a concept far too disgusting for him to accept.
18
19Even the gluttonous Qiu Jin'er, who enjoyed delicacies more than anything, also couldn't stomach the concept.
20
21"Come! Emissary Tianji, Emissary Buyu, Emissary Tianzheng, do eat some of Hell's best dish!" The judges laughed and said.
22
23Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er exchanged a look, he then whispered to him through his psyche, "Jin'er, we have no choice but to eat. If we don't, we will be seen as declining their offer to take the same stand and they will see us as enemies."
24
25Qiu Jin'er nodded in understanding. None of these judges are clean, they were all corrupt leaders of Hell but gaining their trust was the only way to survive.
26
27Thus, Zhong Yue and company could only begrudgingly eat the godly spirits so that they could gain the trust of the other judges as fellow sinners.
28
29Surely enough, such a political measure was a form of unspoken deal to everyone.
30
31Now, the choice is solely theirs. Should they eat the godly spirits, the judges would treat them with more familiarity, but if they refused, the judges would have no choice but to kill them to cover up the rampant corruption in Hell.
32
33Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er would've accepted any other method of proving themselves to the judges, but eating living godly spirits was approaching their bottom-line, especially when they were raw and uncooked.
34
35Zhong Yue looked at the white Wu Chang who the judges referred to as Tianzheng, a name that was clearly made up as well. But even the white Wu Chang was hesitant to comply with eating the godly spirits.
36
37Is he really a Hell Overseer, or a fake one just like us? Zhong Yue couldn't help but question his identity.
38
39The 18 judges were staring closely at them, their eyes were as cold as ice and their bodies were poised to spring into action.
40
41"Friends, as much as I would like to enjoy the feast with you, I actually prefer cooked food." Tianzheng said.
42
43The judge with a lion body, Judge Bi Luo knocked on the table and shouted, "Guards! Fork up the godly spirits and grill them on the Hellfire for Brother Tianzheng!"
44
45Immediately, a few guards walked up with a huge pitchfork and pierced three godly spirits at the tips. The godly spirits groaned and whimpered when grilled alive with the Hellfire.
46
47Judge Bi Luo pointed the pitchfork right at the tip of Chang Tianzheng's nose, while he gave a bright smile, "The godly spirits are best served when they are cooked medium-rare."
48
49Chang Tianzheng frowned and forced a godly spirit down his throat. Then, he turned to Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er with a smile, "I am not a good eater, I shall leave the rest to my dear two colleagues.
50
51Zhong Yue instantly sterned up his face, "I am a vegetarian."
52
53Zheng, zheng, zheng—
54
55A series of sounds of blades unsheating themselves could be heard as the Hell guardians raised their weapons with killing intent.
56
57Zhong Yue lamented in his heart while Chang Tianzheng gloated furtively, At least someone was accompanying me with the same suffering.
58
59"Why must you be so troublesome?" Zhong Yue laughed aloud as he said, "I don't like godly spirits. However, I am somewhat fond of the gods' inner cores. I wonder if you have any of them at hand?"
60
61The judge of Serene Darkness Mansion nodded softly, and the Hell guards immediately laughed happily, "Emissary, we are just playing around with our weapons!"
62
63Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief as he and Qiu Jin'er ate one godly inner core each. Then, he said to Chang Tianzheng, "Brother Tianzheng, thank you for the kind offer, but I guess you will have to keep the delicacies for yourself now."
64
65After the feast, the dancers ebbed from the hall, and the judge of Serene Darkness Mansion clapped his hand while raising his voice, "After the feast, come the treasures! Bring them up!"
66
67The Hell guards marched in lines into the hall and piled the treasures on the floor.
68
69"30 godly grosgrains weaved by the Heaven Girls of the Shen Sang Celestial Race!"
70
71"30 pieces of ape skin from the godly apes of the Ape Life Island!"
72
73"One tributary to the Hell River!"
74
75"9 Hell King Celestial Pearls and 9 Hell King DemonPearls!"
76
77"10 bowls of Heaven Court's Heavenly Morning Dew and 10 bowls of Demon Underworld's Demonic Night Dew!"
78
79"300 godly inner cores!"
80
81One of the officers announced the treasures as they were sent in. The treasures were divided into 3 parts, one for each Hell Overseers, and it took almost half an hour for the treasures to be presented.
82
83Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were dumbfounded as they were bombarded by the enormous treasures that even ordinary Deity Overlords didn't have the qualifications to possess!
84
85Surely enough, Hell's corruption was rooted in greed and bribery; every single Hell official was a beneficiary, especially the judges that held high posts in Hell.
86
87Zhong Yue glanced around, the judges were smiling warmly at them, but the other officers and guards continued staring coldly with masked killing intent.
88
89We are not Hell Overseers, and it'd be a waste to not take these free treasures! Hell's corruption is none of my business.
90
91Zhong Yue gestured toward Qiu Jin'er, and they stepped forward to keep their treasures away while Chang Tianzheng did the same.
92
93Immediately, the pressure in the hall dissipated, and jubilant laughter proceeded to fill the halls.
94
95"Emissaries, when will you return to report to the higher-ups?" The Serene Soul Judge asked.
96
97Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin'er, and Chang Tianzheng exchanged a look before answering, "If we return now, the higher-ups will know we were 'persuaded' to cover for the judges. Thus, we need to stay a little longer before we hand in our report. Also, we can't return empty-handed, a few political sacrifices are necessary, for the optics. If you have any enemies that you'd like to take out, then this is your chance to do so."
98
99"Brother Tianji, you are thoughtful!" The judges praised.
100
101For the next few days, the judges accommodated them in the Serene Soul Mansion, and they were followed closely by a few Hell officers everywhere they went.
102
103But even so, that didn't ease the judges' hearts. They had invited the Hell Overseers to a feast every 3 to 5 days, one mansion after another. Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin'er and Chang Tianzheng were treated like royalty from the first mansion to the 18th mansion.
104
105Every dish served was divine and greatly boosted Qiu Jin'er's prowess. She was now even closer to awakening her Innate Wood Spirit.
106
107Even Zhong Yue's prowess was strengthened, pushing him a little further on his path of awakening his Sun Moon Twin Spirit and Innate True Soul.
108
109The 18th and last Hell mansion was the A'Bi Mansion. After they finished the feast, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er, accompanied by a few Hell officers, toured around the city. They strolled on the city walls and enjoyed the picturesque scenery.
110
111Outside of the city, the floor was paved with a sea of stars, countless planets flowed and shrouded the nebula.
112
113From afar, the nebula looked like a star observatory tower, but it was so unfathomably large that it even dwarfed the already huge A'Bi City..
114
115The Bridge of Helplessness drew a beautiful arc across the starry sky, hovering across the 18 Hell mansions as it transported countless souls into the star observatory tower.
116
117The star observatory tower was grand, and every star around it orbited it. Zhong Yue looked around, and his heart thumped all of a sudden as he mumbled in his heart,
118
119"These stars… they are orbiting in a patterned sequence, just like the totem patterns of a teleportation portal? No, it looked similar, but something is different in it…"
120
121"It's a teleportation portal, but only for the souls!" Xin Huo answered, "What a magnificent piece of work! A portal formed by the stars and planets!"
122
123Zhong Yue's heart shuddered, he looked to the side and asked, "What is this?"
124
125"The Reincarnation Station." The Hell officer beside him replied, "All of the souls will be reincarnated through this station. Whether you are reincarnated into the Heaven Realm, Earth Realm, Celestial Realm, Myriad Realm, Elemental Realm or Prison Realm, reincarnation can only be completed through this station. Emissary, if you direct your attention in that direction, you will see the Sea of Oblivion. Every soul will have to go through the sea and wash away all of their past memories before they are ready to be reincarnated."
126
127Zhong Yue looked over and saw the Sea of Oblivion. It was bigger than a galaxy and floated in the starry space.
128
129The sea water was produced by a strong existence through divine alchemy, a single drop was strong enough to wash away the memories of ordinary cultivators. However, the stronger gods had a certain degree of resistance toward it. There existed a possibility of awakening their past life memories after reincarnating.
130
131That Hell Emperor, is he in the Sea of Oblivion? Zhong Yue thought.
132
133"Where is the Abyss?" Zhong Yue suddenly asked.
134
135"There!" The officer pointed at a glimmering pathway that led to a hole of darkness. The dark hole could absorb all light, and if it weren't for the totem patterns that were glimmering faintly around it, one couldn't even tell it existed at all.
136
137"Although we are treated like kings here, we are not real Hell Overseers. The longer we stay, the higher the risk of exposure." Zhong Yue conducted his voice to Qiu Jin'er through his psyche, and he said, "We will rescue the man Bi and An requested, and leave right away after that!"
138
139Chapter 638: The Abyss
140
141
142
143Qiu Jin'er nodded. Other than the godly spirits, she tried nearly every delicacy available in Hell. She even plundered and stored tonnes of food in her Yuan Shen secret realms.
144
145However, even the food she stored fell victim to her as she couldn't really stop her mouth from munching. Thus, she could only keep asking for more food from the officers.
146
147As a result, her liking for food was now widely known throughout Hell. All kinds of delicacies were served for her, some even cooked their mounts just to please the gluttonous Hell Overseer.
148
149Qiu Jin'er had so much fun and nearly forgot the fact that she was a fake Hell Overseer.
150
151Some of the Hell guardians had even killed their beloved mounts just to please me. If I am revealed to be a fake Hell Overseer, they will definitely not let me go easily. Senior martial brother is right, we need to leave as soon as possible!
152
153After they rescue the 'bad guy' Bi and An requested for, their trip to Hell would be completed, and they would be able to leave by then.
154
155Rays flashed across his eyes, he asked one of the officers to summon Lan Si God, then he asked, "Is the demon god that devoured millions of souls still here?"
156
157As the Hell Overseers' first and only follower, Lan Si God proclaimed himself as Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er cronies, and was thus well-treated by the other Hell guardians.
158
159Upon hearing Zhong Yue, Lan Si God quickly took out the demon god's soul as he answered humbly, "Here."
160
161Zhong Yue nodded, "I will personally see the sinner into the Abyss and imprison him for eternity!"
162
163The Hell officer immediately laughed, "Such a small matter, there's no need to trouble the great emissary! The brothers can do it for you, dear emissary."
164
165Zhong Yue lightly shook his head, an expression like a smile radiated across his face and he asked, "Oh? Do you really think so?"
166
167The Hell officer was puzzled, he was just simply flattering Zhong Yue, but who knew Zhong Yue would retort sternly.
168
169Zhong Yue gave a cold hum, "How do you think I should return to the higher-ups without any achievements? Prosecuting and sentencing this demon god to the Abyss is the meritorious service I have prepared for myself. If you or your brothers are the ones that did it, then is this your meritorious service or mine?"
170
171Cold sweat burst out of the Hell officer's forehead, he shivered in fear and abruptly, he said, "Then, let the humble one lead the way for the great emissaries."
172
173"Well then, do your job." Zhong Yue nodded. The Hell officer immediately walked to the front and lead the way. Zhong Yue looked back, Lan Si God was still boasting with the Hell guardians on the A'Bi City wall, even gladly accepting every gift from the officers.
174
175After Jin'er and I left, Lan Si God will definitely be skinned and tortured by the guardians. But whatever, Lan Si is not a good man either.
176
177Not long after, they reached the front of the Abyss. There, it felt like they had walked into another dimension.
178
179The Six Paths World and Hell shared the same space but a different dimension with different laws of heaven and earth.
180
181And now, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er felt the same change of atmosphere when walking closer to the Abyss. It felt as though the laws of heaven and earth were fading away, everything around was dead and withered.
182
183"This feeling… It felt the same as the one that shrouded the Ancestral Star!" Xin Huo exclaimed in shock.
184
185Zhong Yue thought, and surely enough, it was the same feeling that was brewing in the Ancestral Star.
186
187However, it was much more extreme here compared to the Ancestral Star. After all, gods weren't suppressed in the Ancestral Star, whereas in here, even Deity Emperors would be wholly suppressed.
188
189"The Abyss required a key to open, if there wasn't anyone leading the way, even the emissaries might not be able to find the way in." The Hell officer smiled and said as he opened the Abyss.
190
191Zhong Yue looked over and pondered deeply at the totem patterns engraved on the Gate of Abyss. The totem patterns were incredibly complex and were even incessantly changing with every second. Even the Hell officer, who was a Heavenly Deity, was panting while unlocking the gate.
192
193If this can unlock the seals on the Abyss, it might also clear the seals placed on the Ancestral Star.
194
195Zhong Yue thought, rays flashed across his eyes and his divine eyes opened furtively as he stared at the changes of the totem patterns.
196
197It took one whole hour for the Hell officer to unlock the gate, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er walked into the Abyss while the Hell officer was leading them in front.
198
199They glanced around and found themselves situated in the middle of a pitch black space. There wasn't any referencing objects they could use to determine their positions. There were no lights or sounds; they couldn't even hear their own footsteps or heartbeat.
200
201Silence.
202
203It was deathly silence.
204
205Qiu Jin'er couldn't help but grip Zhong Yue's hand tighter. The absolute silence in the Abyss could easily drive a person insane. To be trapped in a space with absolute no sensory stimuli was a fate worse than even the cruelest torture.
206
207However, those here were imprisoned for eternity until their souls withered away!
208
209But those that would be imprisoned here were all the strong and powerful figures, some had even cultivated the Six Paths Wheel and had a lifespan of over a hundred thousand years!
210
211"I'm sorry, I've forgotten that the emissaries couldn't see in the Abyss. Please forgive me." The Hell officer's said with his psyche.
212
213He snapped his finger softly and a glimmering road appeared in front of them. It was a swirling staircase that led to the bottom of the Abyss.
214
215However, other than the road itself, everything else around was still pitch black and dead quiet. Even Zhong Yue's divine eyes couldn't see through the darkness in here.
216
217They walked down the stairs, and suddenly, a bright ray emerged in the darkness. It was a simple and crude prison cell built in the midst of darkness.
218
219Inside the cell, there was a god with a green face, long fangs and a hideous look squatting in front of a table. The center of the table was dug open, and another god's head was placed through the hole.
220
221The god's skull was opened by brute force, and his brain was still thumping vigorously.
222
223The green face god scooped a handful of the grey matter and brutally devoured it as its victim could only whimper in pain. Yet, no matter how loud he shouted, there wasn't a single sound that could be heard on the outside.
224
225The green face god's stomach was bloated like a mountain, but he still continued eating while the trapped god's brain would continually regenerate itself back right after it was eaten.
226
227The green face god was eating while mumbling to himself, by the reading the shape of his lips, Zhong Yue could tell he was saying, "Why isn't it ending yet?"
228
229"These two, one of them snuck into the imperial feast and stole food, while the other was the guard on patrol on the day of the feast."
230
231In front of them, the Hell officer said, "The Realm Monarch had a feast for the officials, but they nearly ruined everything. Thus, the furious Realm Monarch condemned them to the Abyss. The gluttonous one shall never stop eating, and the one with dereliction of duty will suffer being eaten for eternity."
232
233Zhong Yue furtively glanced at Qiu Jin'er and said with his psyche, "Look at that!"
234
235Qiu Jin'er shuddered and instantly kept the snacks away from her hands.
236
237Further down the stairs, another a prison cell appeared in the midst of darkness. This time, inside the prison cell was a mountain made of sharp blades. The blades were rolling, twisting, swirling and swinging unceasingly at great speed.
238
239A god could be seen rolling down from the mountain top, lacerated by the blades on the way down, the flesh on his body viciously being cut out of him. After he rolled to the bottom of the mountain, the blade mountain would disappear and rise up again right below him, repeating the cycle anew.
240
241Every part of his body was covered in wounds and blood. Even some of its bones were exposed to the air. Yet, the god remained to be well alive.
242
243"This is a god who had an extreme lust of blood. Relying on the Immortal Body he cultivated, he has always been charging into gory fights. As a result, he lost control one day and killed the son of the South Heaven King, a talented young man from an honorable family. He would've be able to walk away scott-free if it were someone else, but that day, he made the wrong enemy. Thus, he is condemned to suffer in pain and agony for eternally while being kept alive by his Immortal Body."
244
245As the Hell officer explained, Qiu Jin'er glanced furtively at Zhong Yue and said, "Senior martial brother, you've also cultivated the Immortal Body."
246
247"Jin'er, aren't you the same?" Zhong Yue shuddered in cold, but retorted back calmly.
248
249"But I am not fond of battle." Qiu Jin'er smiled.
250
251They continued further down and saw another prison cell. It was a male god that was imprisoned here, but he was clamped on a chair and was giving birth to one baby after another. However, the babies would die right after their arrival in this world.
252
253"This one had an affair with the mistress of an unspoken existence. At the end, the mistress bore his child and the unspoken existence's anger brought him here. He is punished to forever give birth to stillborn babies."
254
255The further down they went in the Abyss, the more cells they saw, and no prison cell had the same punishment as the others. The gods imprisoned here had committed different sins and were tormented in different ways. However, most of them were just here because they happened to offend powerful figures.
256
257For thousands of prison cells they saw, only a few of those who committed truly heinous crimes, one of whom was the demon god they were going to imprison here.
258
259Zhong Yue was puzzled by the phenomenon and the Hell officer answered with a smile, "Those that are truly sinful are kept in the deepest region. That is the only place that can suppress them. However…"
260
261The Hell officer suddenly shuddered in cold as he continued, "It's better if we stay away from there! Although the prisoners are secured, the Abyss can't exactly impose any torment to them due to their overpowering strength."
262
263Zhong Yue smiled, he replied nonchalantly, "Since we are already here in the Abyss, it'd be a shame if we left without visiting them. Lead the way."
264
265The Hell officer had no choice but to lead the way.
266
267As they went deeper, the ambiance grew heavier. An unknown force was brewing in the atmosphere, posing a great pressure to their souls; it was so strong that they felt crushed.
268
269Suddenly, a faint light emerged in the total darkness, there was even the sounds of snoring that penetrated through the prison cell.
270
271Zhong Yue and the others walked closer to have a clearer look. Inside of the prison cell was a god shining with golden rays, he was sleeping on his side and the snores alone were shuddering the prison cell.
272
273Whereas around the giant god, there were some fragmented suns burning with flames surrounding him in the center.
274
275"This is a vicious god, the judges planned to burn into ashes but he had crushed all the suns in one strike. Countless officers and guards died in his hands, even the judges and Hell Emperor couldn't do anything to him. In the end, he is left here to slowly die of old age."
276
277The Hell officer lowered his voice as he said, "He was said to have been slumbering for over tens of thousands if years. As for his sin, he had broken the laws of Heaven!"
278
279Then, the next prison cell they have encountered imprisoned another god. Zhong Yue jumped in shock and found the god to be an ape-like god with white hair—it was the exact same monster emperor that tried to snatch the Six Paths Paragon!
280
281Chapter 639: Bad Guy
282
283
284
285"We have identified where he came from; he is a monster emperor from the Myriad Realm, the Monster Emperor Yuan Qi."
286
287The Hell officer said, "The Hell Emperor sent his soul here to prevent his body and soul merging back together. Since once this happens, his power will be far too great to put down again. Now, his body is being sealed underneath the Sea of Oblivion and is being placed under the watch of Hell Emperor himself."
288
289Zhong Yue nodded while the Monster Emperor Yuan Qi placed his hands behind his back and stared coldly at them behind the bars as they walked past his cage.
290
291"Senior martial brother, his body is so strong, why doesn't he just charge straight into Hell to get the Book of Life and Death?" Qiu Jin'er secretly asked through mental transmissions.
292
293Zhong Yue shook his head and replied, "Even if he did, his body will end up being suppressed as well. On top of Hell, there is still the heaven."
294
295He then said again, "He was smart enough to sneak in here with his soul and attempt to steal the book away instead of taking it by force. After he was exposed, he only carried out his last option, which is to take the book by force. However, the truth is that even if the Hell Emperor did not stop him, he would not have succeeded either since there were more experts around that could stop him. The depth of the Hell's power is indiscernible and so is the Heaven's. Have you ever thought of who actually created the Abyss that imprisoned so many crazily strong people here?"
296
297Goosebumps crawled all over Qiu Jin'er's body as a cold traveled down her spine. Zhong Yue said, "The creator of the Abyss was not even a match for the creator of the Six Path Wheel, there are still many secrets that we have yet to see."
298
299Just like Zhong Yue said, Monster Emperor Yuan Qi had only one choice, which was to steal the book away as robbing it was bound to fail.
300
301The further down the road, the stronger the prisoners being suppressed; some of them were so strong that even the cells could not completely lock them in; their aura and presence were leaking out from their cells, and even so, Zhong Yue and the others were being pressured heavily by these auras.
302
303However, some of them were already dead; they had been locked up for god knew how long. What remained of them were just their bones, but an overwhelming aura still lurked around their remains.
304
305These remains were left unattended and it seemed like even after their deaths, no one dared to enter the cells to clean up.
306
307"Are there any comrades in arms?"
308
309Suddenly, an eerie voice came from the dark saying over and over again, "Any friends that are still alive? Let's team up, break free and suppress this prison!"
310
311Upon hearing this voice, Zhong Yue had a scare and so did the Hell officer who said tremblingly, "Thank god these guys couldn't break free from the seals or chaos would have descended upon the entire hell! Emissaries, are we still going to go any further into the prison?"
312
313"There are not many chances for us to come here, of course I would want to continue." replied Zhong Yue with a smile.
314
315Up until now, they had been walking for quite some time and ran into various evil and malicious characters but not even a single guard, which was quite strange for Zhong Yue.
316
317Zhong Yue raised this up with the Hell officer who replied, "It is not required. Each and every one of those things locked here is an extremely terrifying person. What can ordinary prison guards do about them when even judges can't do anything as they would be killed as soon as they walk into this place."
318
319Not long after, they walked past another few cells where those in it were so powerful beyond Zhong Yue's comprehension; these people were still awake and they were communicating with each other on the way to break out of this prison.
320
321"I will slaughter everyone in hell upon getting out of here!"
322
323An old monster with long white hair trembled as he reached his climax, and he said to himself, "I will start from A'Bi City,then Serene Darkness City, killing everything that moves, eating every soul that exists! Then, I will carry on with my onslaught from the Bridge of Helplessness, to the Heavenly River, the South Heaven Gate, and all the way into Heaven! I will crush the Heaven officers the Realm Monarch! No no no! I will lock him up and rape his women in front of him! Then, I will rape with his mother! Hahahaha!"
324
325These guys… they have lost their mind after being imprisoned here for so long…
326
327Zhong Yue shook his head and thought, I wonder if the man with the words "I am a bad guy" on his face is also insane. If he has gone insane, then trying to save him might get quite dangerous!
328
329Suddenly, Xin Huo said, "Brat Yue, there is something horrifying right ahead! Its presence feels just like a Creator's!"
330
331"A Creator?"
332
333Zhong Yue was moved tremendously as there was actually a Creator being locked up in this place!?
334
335In the next second, he too, felt this horrifying presence that felt similar to Bo Xun's, the presence of a Creator!
336
337There really was a Creator being locked here!
338
339After a moment, a cell which was completely different to the other cells emerged from the darkness. Unlike the other prison cells that seemed empty and barren, this cell had a complete day and night cycle, clouds, mountains, green lush fields, animals and even dragons and phoenixes.
340
341The sunlight was very warm and it was also replete with living creatures; they have built up their own civilization, temples, statues and everything appeared to be just like a whole new world.
342
343Creators created worlds, gave birth to countless living beings, gave them lives and from what Zhong Yue saw, this Creator locked here obviously created this world out of boredom to entertain himself.
344
345Zhong Yue looked around and he realized the statues built by these civilizations were all the same; it was an old man that bore a very wise, kind and gentle look.
346
347"This elder is having his time I guess? With the beautiful sceneries and his own creations, he must not be that bored like the others." said Qiu Jin'er.
348
349She then said again, "He was locked here for such a long time but he stayed here like this is his own house. How admirable."
350
351As soon as she said this, the dimension in the cell shook greatly and a huge ferocious looking face appeared, a palm reached out, grabbed onto the living beings in the world created by the creator and hurled them into his mouth, devouring an entire city!
352
353While this happened, the other living beings celebrated, knelt and prayed zealously to the face as they shouted a name. But nothing was heard because these creatures had no cultivation.
354
355Qiu Jin'er was startled and Zhong Yue became speechless as he thought, This Creator is even scarier than the other people we met just now. He actually ate his own people and these livings beings even created statue for him! Wait a minute, there are some words on his face!
356
357Zhong Yue turned serious and his eyes twitched when he saw the words on the face of the creator.
358
359Meanwhile, after filling up his stomach, the ferocious face gradually shrunk back the benign-looking old man.
360
361This tiny temple was very nice; the surroundings were nice, the birds chirped, and everything seemed to be very peaceful.
362
363This old man looked kind and gentle that no one would actually believe that only a few moments ago he had such a ferocious appearance.
364
365His legs were missing; they were severed off by someone. And what's strange was that the pair of legs did not grow back.
366
367Creators often possessed strength beyond imagination; their bodies were incredibly powerful and they would often regenerate once a part of their body got severed, but this one... his legs remained missing.
368
369Previously, when this old man turned into the gigantic face, Zhong Yue saw the words written onto his face, those words were written there like a little joke made between friends.
370
371"I am a bad guy."
372
373It really looked like a joke between good friends, but these words were carved deep into the face of this Creator to the point that it was impossible to remove them!
374
375And in this case, this was not a joke anymore, it looked more like a humiliation, an act out of hatred!
376
377This would not only humiliate him, but also banish him into the Abyss for he would no longer have any pride or dignity in front of everyone!
378
379Besides, cutting his body into half, sealing his wounds to prevent his body from regenerating and dumping him in this hopeless place... just how much did that person hate this Creator!
380
381So this is the one Bi and An wanted us to save!
382
383Zhong Yue's heart thumped; this Creator was definitely strong, but he obviously did not seem normal anymore; he ate his own creation and no sane god would do this!
384
385Their creations were just like their children, who would actually eat their own child if they were normal?
386
387Zhong Yue remained silent for a moment and he suddenly looked at the Hell officer and said, "Look here."
388
389The Hell officer was stunned for a second and when he looked at Zhong Yue, a huge banner appeared in Zhong Yue's palm with the Six Path Wheel picture and he waved the banner softly.
390
391Everything was out of the hell officer's anticipation and after a shriek, his Yuan Shen was pulled out from his body and it was sucked into the banner.
392
393Zhong Yue then retrieved the [Six Soul Banner], controlled the Yuan Shen of the Hell officer while the puzzled creator looked at him in confusion.
394
395Zhong Yue opened his mouth and said something but strangely, there was no sound at all.
396
397His cultivation was too weak so his voice would not be able to reach the cell, but through his lips, he was able to transmit his message to the Creator.
398
399"How do I get you out of here?" asked Zhong Yue.
400
401"Get me out, you say?"
402
403In the cell, the voice of the old Creator seemed to shake the dimension, and his sound was very clear, "Why? Do you know who I am and what would happen if you got me out of here?"
404
405Zhong Yue replied, "No, I don't. But I promised someone and I intend to keep it. Now, please show me the way, elder."
406
407The old Creator kept quiet for a moment and he laughed and said, "I never thought there would be someone that still remembers me. I managed to decipher all the structures of the seals around the cell and these seals could not longer suppress my power but I simply couldn't break them all from the inside. This has to be done from the outside and now, I will teach them to you!"
408
409A terrifying psyche wave flew past the cell into Zhong Yue's mind and a complicated seal-breaking art appeared in Zhong Yue's mind.
410
411"I assume three months would be sufficient for you to learn everything I passed to you just now?" asked the old Creator.
412
413Zhong Yue went through the art roughly, shook his head and replied, "No need for three months, I can do it in three days!"
414
415With surprise, the old Creator looked at Zhong Yue in silence.
416
417Chapter 640: 【Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture】
418
419
420
421Zhong Yue sat in the lotus position, the Yin and Yang lines flew out around him and formed various marvellous symbols in the sky as he started a new round of calculations.
422
423This was his own unique art of divination. The solid Yang lines and dashed Yin lines formed a binary system that gave rise to the eight all-encompassing symbols known as the Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams were an octal-numeral system that represented every element in a universe; thus allowing him to derive the end result from a permutation of known precursor facts.
424
425It didn't take long for the symbols around him to multiply to over billions in number.
426
427It took nearly ten thousand years for the old Creator to come out of this seal-breaking art. It was incredibly complex and the knowledge contained within was beyond something any living being could derive without a million years of study.
428
429However, although it would still take over ten thousand years for Zhong Yue to create a seal-breaking art of the same grade even with his calculatory art, it only required a few days for him to fully learn one.
430
431The seal-breaking art imparted to him by the old Creator was named the [Mystic Dao Breaker], a mystical art specialized in breaking apart any and all seals.
432
433However, having the experience of cultivating the [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art] and with the help of the Yin Yang lines, Zhong Yue had the confidence that he could easily learn it in just three days!
434
435Billions of symbols revolved around him and were still increasing in number; simulating countless transformations in the art every second!
436
437The simulation occurred in four-dimensions, with time and space included. Even as its creator Zhong Yue was still just learning and getting the hang of it.
438
439One head was far too inadequate to handle the flood of information flowing in his mind, he had to grow more heads to manage the immense workload.
440
441Inside of the prison cell, the old Creator's eyes brimmed with a strange light as he started to try and imitate Zhong Yue's divination art. However, as his simulation progressed further and its complexity exponentially increased, the old Creator's lack of knowledge in the time and space totem patterns left him unable to catch up with Zhong Yue.
442
443Qiu Jin'er sat beside Zhong Yue, protecting the perimeter while trying to find a way to awaken her Innate True Spirit.
444
445All of a sudden, the old Creator's psyche billowed over and turned into voice in her head, "Little girl, are you an Innate Wood Spirit Body?"
446
447Qiu Jin'er opened her eyes and nodded.
448
449"Dull cultivation won't awaken your Innate Wood True Spirit." The old Creator coldly said, "Are the two of you a couple? But frankly speaking, you are far too weak when compared to him. Even though you are still here by his side, at your current pace, you will fall too far behind sooner or later. One day, you will realize that he is already worlds apart from you, and that no matter how hard you try, or how much effort you put in, the distance between you two will only increase. Soon enough, he will only exist as a memory to you."
450
451Qiu Jin'er shuddered, the old Creator's words dug at one of her deepest fears, bringing it up and laying it bare before her eyes.
452
453The fear of falling behind Zhong Yue had stayed with her since back in the Ancestral Star. She was afraid that one day, she would be left behind due to her incompetence to follow up to Zhong Yue's incredible rate of improvement. That's why she had been seizing every chance to improve herself, pouring in every ounce of effort every day.
454
455"Your foundation is fine, but the lack of certain elements limits your future achievements. For example, you didn't reverse open the secret realms nor did you cultivate the Six Paths Wheel. The lack of these two extreme states alone is already posing a ceiling to your cultivation. You are already a scrap metal that can only be returned back to the furnace—to reincarnate and start all over again."
456
457The old Creator's eyes were filled with excitement while his tone remained ruthless, every word he spoke was like an arrow that pierced right through her heart, breaking every piece of her mind and soul, "But you are just a helpless girl in this Six Paths World, do you really think you will be reincarnated as an innate spirit body again in your next life? If you don't even have an innate spirit body, how do you think you can even catch up to him? Also, are you sure you can awaken your memories of this life? If you can't, then you won't even remember him. Not to mention, after you've reincarnated, you will have a whole new identity, a new body, and a new face that he won't even recognize! Let's say you somewhat manage to overcome all of this, what if you are reincarnated as a male? Now I'm not one to judge, but do you think he will accept a male as his lover? That being said, you and him do not share any destiny!"
458
459Qiu Jin'er's countenance turned pale as a mouthful of blood that combusted ghostly fire in front of her whose light reflected in her teary eyes.
460
461Whereas the old Creator laughed happily, "Little girl, am I right? Are you feeling despondent? Suddenly realizing that everything you've worked hard for is just simply impossible. Do you feel like dying now?"
462
463The usual smile on Qiu Jin'er's face disappeared as she turned emotionless.
464
465On the other hand, Zhong Yue was fully immersed in learning the seal-breaking art and oblivious to their exchange just now.
466
467Suddenly, the old Creator said with a smile, "But nothing is impossible. Hell can be cleansed and the Heaven can also be corrupted. Your lack of foundation can be turned into an advantage if you know the way. And sometimes, it might even be stronger! Honestly, what is the point of reincarnating if you can't even make yourself useful in your current life? Once garbage, always garbage! Reincarnating will not change that fact!"
468
469"Cultivation is like sailing against the tides of sea, the life of a Qi Practitioner has always been about struggling against hardship and overcoming tribulations. That's why we cultivate, that's the one and only purpose to cultivate—so that we can live our lives however we want!"
470
471His deafening voice rumbled in her ears as he laughed loudly, "Your foundation is shit, but mine was even shittier than yours. Yet, here I am, standing as a Creator while all my other peers became a pile of bones and ash. I am here because I never conceded to hardship, I never gave up no matter how pathetic I seemed. Fight, fight, and fight! The greater the suffering, the harder you should fight against it! All I said were merely words, but even that was enough to cause you to break down. Haha… truly pitiable."
472
473Qiu Jin'er grew even more depressed while the old Creator continued, "Hehe, you see yourself as a good-for-nothing trash, but I see otherwise. I see a jewel covered in the dust of her own insecurities, a girl with immeasurable potential. Now, learn and cultivate the art I am about to impart to you. Break apart the clouds of negativity in your heart, and let your confidence grow like a towering tree! See through the darkness that shrouds your pride and stand at the peak of your mind where the light shines brightly upon your soul!"
474
475His psyche billowed through the prison cell as he imparted a mysterious art into Qiu Jin'er's mind.
476
477"The celestials and demons, gods or cultivators, we are all Qi Practitioners. Even the Realm Monarchs, the Creators, or even the Imperial Emperors, we are all cultivating against the law of heaven! There were no Qi Practitioners when the universe was born, but we exist because we refused to acquiese to the laws of nature. We wanted more, we wanted have a better life, we wanted control over our existence and to dictate our own destinies. And some… want to replace the law of heaven itself! That is the meaning of being a Qi Practitioner!"
478
479"Thus, I named this art the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture]!" The old Creator's face became contorted by a hideous laugh, "Slaughter the unjust gods! Kill the unfair Realm Monarchs! Crush the ruthless earth! Break the merciless heaven! Exterminate anything, and all those that spurn me!"
480
481He raised his voice as he spoke and eventually began shouting at the top of his lungs, "Who said I couldn't cultivate?"
482
483"Who said I shall remain a mortal and suffer the pain and agony of mediocrity?"
484
485"Who said I should be born a member of a low and petty race?"
486
487"Who decided that I can never be a god?"
488
489"Who thought they could decide what I am and what I could become?"
490
491"Who decided my fate and when it was my life to die?"
492
493"If the heaven is unjust, then let it crumble!"
494
495"If the earth is unfair, then let it be crushed!"
496
497Qiu Jin'er was shocked, she shook her head and declined, "This art is too vicious, I don't want to learn…"
498
499"It's not violence, it's the anger that brims within from the injustice of life." The old Creator laughed, "There are too many injustices out there, far too much to witness in a lifetime. It upsets me so much and the anger grows beyond control. It needs to be released! Little girl, I've already stimulated the negativity in you, you can decide to not cultivate it for now. But sooner or later, that demon within you will metastasize until it grows out of control, turning you into a wicked, mentally-twisted lady filled with endless anguish!"
500
501Qiu Jin'er looked at the old Creator and thought, You've also cultivated the art and you look pretty much just like a wicked fiend yourself.…
502
503However, this was someone she only dared to say to herself.
504
505The old Creator smiled, "My [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] will turn the negativity into a fuel to your cultivation progress. Should you cultivate it, not only that you will be liberated from your demons, but you will also retain your sense of self instead of becoming someone like me. After all, every Qi Practitioner is unique."
506
507Qiu Jin'er was doubtful, she glanced at Zhong Yue, and after a round of careful deliberation, she nodded heavily and decided to cultivate the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture].
508
509The [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] was an extreme art created by an extremist. The word 'Insurrection' alone clearly portrayed their belligerence toward the natural order of the universe.
510
511As such, the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] was created to turn one's anguish into a catalyst for cultivation so that the cultivator would be able to grow strong enough to be able to dictate their own future!
512
513Even though Qiu Jin'er seemed calm and tender most fo the time, her early childhood experience had actually led to part of her isolating herself. She grew up with no one by her side other than Granny Lu, an eccentric old monster lady.
514
515She had been living in seclusion from the outside world, with no opportunity to interact with her own peers, no one to share her joy or sadness. It had always been that way until the day she met Zhong Yue.
516
517In comparison, although Jun Sixie was also in love with Zhong Yue, she had her own things to take care of; but all Qiu Jin'er had was Zhong Yue. That was the sole reason why the old Creator could topple her frame of mind so easily. She was in love with Zhong Yue so much that the mere thought of losing him was enough to almost send her over the edge.
518
519As the negativities in her was stimulated by the old Creator, he had artificially created the perfect conditions for her to cultivate the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] . However, turning into a madman like the old Creator was something she would like to avoid at all costs.
520
521Two days later, Qiu Jin'er suddenly heard the sounds of worship ringing in her ears. The chants were directed to the Wood Celestial Star, they were the prayers of the living beings for lifelong harmony.
522
523At this point in time, her soul was cleansed and her mind went blank.
524
525Then, a wave of verdant green light rays brimmed around her, indicating that her Innate Wood True Spirit had finally awakened!
526
527As Bi and An once said, she was just a hair's breadth away from awakening, it was a stimulant that she lacked. And her encounter with the old Creator and the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] was the exact impetus that pushed her through the boundary.
528
529Finally, she had awakened the Innate Wood True Spirit!
530
531Her Innate Wood True Spirit now shared a certain resemblance to the Celestial Wood Star, being able to employ the energy within from the prayers of living creatures.
532
533Chapter 641: 【Mystic Dao Breaker】
534
535
536
537The awakening of the True Spirit brought unimaginable attainments to Qiu Jin'er's cultivation. Although her prowess was still at the peak of the demigods, she was now not any weaker than Zhong Yue in Hell!
538
539After awakening the Innate True Spirit, her soul power was greatly elevated and made her one of the closest in strength to the judges in Hell!
540
541Two days passed in a flash, Zhong Yue was now in his third day simulating the seal-breaking art. The simulation was at a critical point and the calculations needed for it were nearly unmanageable.
542
543Zhong Yue was drowned by the marvellous symbols around him, the symbols were reforming and changing dozens of times with every second. Zhong Yue promised the old Creator he would learn the seal-breaking art in three days, and he has no intention of breaking his words!
544
545All of a sudden, the old Creator's facial expression changed, his solemn voice penetrated through the prison cell, "An expert has entered the Abyss, be wary! This little brat is strong, possibly a judge. The two of you won't be able to defeat him."
546
547Zhong Yue abruptly stood up, he strode toward the prison cell and the totem patterns haphazardly swarmed out of his body, then coming to shape.
548
549The totem patterns were visualized into a grand altar, the altar from the [Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art]!
550
551Just as the altar was formed, Zhong Yue cast the demon god he captured and sacrificed him into the altar!
552
553The demon god was turned into pure energy that fueled the power of the altar.
554
555Zhong Yue raised his hand, the [Six Paths Banner] emerged and the Hell officer's soul was tossed onto the altar.
556
557For a moment there, Zhong Yue hesitated when the Hell officer questioned deplorably, "Emissary, what are you doing? What benefits will my death bring you?"
558
559There are no good people in Hell! Zhong Yue clenched his teeth, he stimulated the altar and sacrificed the Hell officer into pure energy. Then, he continued sacrificing the Hell officer's spirit and body in the altar.
560
561The Hell officer was a Heavenly Deity and the pure energy from his oblation greatly powered the altar.
562
563Zhong Yue yelled sternly, more complexed totem patterns surged out and formed on his two sides.
564
565The totem patterns were surging continually to the sides and formed into a marvellous and strange-looking totem pattern that shaped like a weapon.
566
567At the same time, there were godly rays that flashed out from Zhong Yue's eyes, it was the Solar Divine Saber and Metamagnet Divine Saber. The sabers flashed like light rays and coalesced with the strange-looking totem pattern!
568
569"Innate Tai Yin Qi!" Zhong Yue chanted, a stream of water then flowed out into the totem pattern.
570
571As the sabers and water merged with the totem pattern, it started changing in form and morphed into a javelin-like mystical weapon with incredibly sharp tips on both ends.
572
573There were millions of totem patterns concentrated on the sharp tips of the mystical javelin, one could easily infer how much power would the mystical javelin produce at the point of contact!
574
575Furthermore, the totem patterns were no longer a combination, they have in fact reformed into a single, solitary totem pattern with unbelievable effects!
576
577This was the [Mystic Dao Breaker]!
578
579However, this was as far as Zhong Yue could manage on his own, he even depleted all of his arcane energy.
580
581Then suddenly, the pure energy within the altar billowed out and further increased the mystical javelin's power!
582
583No, no, this is far from enough! I need more! Zhong Yue thought in his heart.
584
585The old Creator was excited to see the [Mystic Dao Breaker], but he said solemnly, "The judge is near! Faster, faster! Pump more energy into the [Mystic Dao Breaker]!"
586
587All of a sudden, an icy cold voice said concomitant with a wave of appalling aura, "Emissaries, you are really fake. Hehehe, and I was just wondering why are there three Hell Overseers? Even with one appearing on the surface and another two hiding out of our sense. Are the offerings to the higher-ups not enough? That's why they are investigating into us? But you see, although Hell is corrupted and briberies are all over the place, it's the higher-ups that took most of the bribes rather than the judges. Do you really think they will take us down?"
588
589Qiu Jin'er grew anxious, she quickly looked back and saw the three-eyed judge walking over with his hands on the back. He was the judge of the 19th Hell mansion, A'Bi Mansion!
590
591"Now it seems like I am right. Not only that the two of you are fake, that Tianzheng would've been a faker as well."
592
593The three-eyed judge glanced over Zhong Yue and stopped his eyes on the mystical javelin. Immediately in one eye, he knew exactly what they were planning and gave a cold hum as he mocked them, "Do you really think you can break the seal and free this wicked grandpa? You have no idea how strong is the one who built the Abyss! The seals he left behind is far beyond breakable, not by you weaklings!"
594
595All of a sudden, Zhong Yue's body shuddered as he almost lost control over the [Mystic Dao Breaker], he gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Jin'er!"
596
597Qiu Jin'er gave a loud whistle, her body morphed into the form of the Wood Innate True Spirit—a human face, bird body celestial being standing on a pair of twin dragons as she lunged toward the three-eyed judge.
598
599The judge smiled frigidly, he casually waved his hand and pushed back Qiu Jin'er while he said nonchalantly, "Do you know that the mansions are ranked accordingly. The A'Bi Mansion is the 18th and highest mansion of all, naturally, I as its judge is the strongest of all the judges! I can easily kill the both of you even if the two of you strikes together, let alone just one of you!"
600
601However, as he said, his never once did move his eyes away from the [Mystic Dao Breaker]. Clearly, it was the mystical javelin that gave him the greatest sense of threat instead of Qiu Jin'er and Zhong Yue.
602
603The [Mystic Dao Breaker] was exceptionally powerful, strong enough to threaten his life. The only worry he has now was for Zhong Yue to wield the mystical javelin against him instead of the seal on the prison cell!
604
605Although he knows for sure Zhong Yue wouldn't succeed in breaking the seal, the [Mystic Dao Breaker] was definitely still powerful enough to kill him!
606
607Zhong Yue's body swayed violently as the power surging within the [Mystic Dao Breaker] grows harder for him to handle.
608
609Seeing that, the three-eyed judge slightly left his guard down, the [Mystic Dao Breaker] was threatening, but if it couldn't be controlled properly, then it would pose no harm to him.
610
611And now, even when Zhong Yue was in his Yuan Shen's peak form, he was still losing out control on the [Mystic Dao Breaker], let alone wielding it as a weapon!
612
613"A h, the Sun Moon Twin Spirits, more so they are both the Innate True Spirits. How magnificent, yet what a shame they will cease to exist with your death today!"
614
615Godly rays from the judge's three eyes swept through Zhong Yue's body and immediately saw through his spirits. The three-eyes judge was relieved as he knew Zhong Yue was now at his limit!
616
617"Then, let me do the honour and send both of you to your deaths!" The three-eyed judge waved his hand, repelling Qiu Jin'er's attack with a palm, then crushed through her defence with his second palm, and finally, the godly rays from his eyes shot through her body.
618
619However, Qiu Jin'er's body was healed right after. She was the Wood Innate Spirit Body, the life force surging in her body was strong, more so after she has awakened her Wood Innate Spirit.
620
621But even so, the judge's prowess was beyond her level. The residual energy from the godly rays lingered within her body and continued injuring her from the inside.
622
623Qiu Jin'er gritted her teeth, she stepped forward again and fought back.
624
625The three-eyed judge gave a cold hum as he continued pressing forward, at the mean time still keeping an eye on Zhong Yue's [Mystic Dao Breaker]. In just a few moments, Qiu Jin'er was already heavily wounded, she was on the brink of dying; and Zhong Yue was still struggling to handle the [Mystic Dao Breaker] as more energy from the altarwas pumped into the mystical javelin.
626
627Seems like that's all he can do. The judge let his guard down and laughed aloud, he suddenly bolted out and launched a deadly assault at Qiu Jin'er!
628
629Just as he moved, the [Mystic Dao Breaker] was hurled at him like a flash of lightning!
630
631"Hahaha, I've been waiting a long time for this!" The judge abruptly burst out in laughter, he blinked to Qiu Jin'er's back and mocked Zhong Yue, "What can you still do after you missed this…"
632
633"Ha—" Zhong Yue gave a stern yell, and his body suddenly morphed into a human form, snake tail celestial being—it was the Fuxi True Spirit!
634
635At that instant, his aura repleted every corner of the battlefield. The Sun Moon Twin Spirits flew into his eyes, while he rapidly gains full control over the [Mystic Dao Breaker], controlling it to flash to the judge's forehead in the blink of an eye.
636
637Before the mystical javelin even got in physical contact with the judge, his third eye has already been cleaved apart by its immense power!
638
639"Fuxi!" The old Creator screeched in shock, his voice lost of a Creator's demeanour, yet he couldn't care any much about it as he exclaimed again, "A wild, living Fuxi!"
640
641"You are a… Fuxi?" The three-eyed judge's face drastically changed, and he dashed backwards at a great speed. At the same time, the faint lights from the pathway which was the only light source that lit up the Abyss extinguished. Total darkness once again included the Abyss in its claw!
642
643Darkness shadowed the judge from their visions, allowing him to disappear from their sense.
644
645"Fuxi? So you are a Fuxi!"
646
647The judge's voice came from all directions, making it difficult for Zhong Yue to track his position. The [Mystic Dao Breaker] wouldn't last for long before its power completely wanes away, he just needs to drag his time until then!
648
649"Praise the heaven! What an amazing luck do I have to be able to capture a living Fuxi! Hahaha, don't you know how valuable your life is? All the 3000 Six Paths World are hunting for the Fuxi, inconceivable bounties are placed on you and your kind! Your head alone can bring me a life-long wealth and honour! No, no, I'd be rewarded more than that!"
650
651The judge's laughter reverberated the Abyss, and then, the lights beneath him on the pathway suddenly lit up and revealed his position!
652
653Shocked and panicked, the judge couldn't even comprehend the sudden changes in time before the mystical javelin pierced through his forehead!
654
655"It only takes an eye for me to learn how to light up the pathway." Zhong Yue said placidly, "I didn't want to just kill you for nothing. I've planned to have you sacrificed for the further enhancement of the [Mystic Dao Breaker]. With your power, the [Mystic Dao Breaker] will be strong enough to break the prison cell's seal!"
656
657The judge's body swayed violently, his voice was drained of power as he asked, "Who are you…?"
658
659"Just an ordinary man from the human Zhong Shan Clan." Zhong Yue mumbled softly, "Also, I'm just a True Spirit cultivator."

661"True Spirit… but how is your spirit so strong to be even able to kill a Deity Overlord like me?" The judge's soul started disintegrating, and his voice slowly faded away, "You are truly talented. But the Heaven is invincible. Hehe, your destiny has been decided the moment you are born a Fuxi. What a shame I can't see you die…"
662
663Chapter 642: Creator He Lan
664
665
666
667In Hell, while a judge was checking on the Book of Life and Death of each floor of the Six Paths Paragon, he suddenly noticed the three-eyed judge's name turning dark before disappeared from the book. Immediately, the judge charged out from the paragon and shouted, "Judge A'bi is dead! His soul just faded!"
668
669In no time, judges came running out the tower, all in search for the three-eyed judge's cause of death.
670
671"Judge A'bi was last seen entering the prison!"
672
673It did not take long until they found the trails of the dead judge and also about Zhong Yue and the others as well.
674
675"Messenger Tianji and Buyu entered the Abyss before Judge A'bi!"
676
677"Head there immediately and find out what's going on!"
678
679The hell army mobilized immediately and under the lead of the seventeen judges, they charged straight towards the Abyss.
680
681"Place down the Ground Sealing Formation, we want the skies and underground completely sealed!"
682
683Upon the orders of the seventeen judges, the Hell army's general under each judges' command waved their banners and in a short time, eighteen arrays were formed.
684
685They then activated the arrays and when the arrays were activated, they released a very huge movement; loud noises were heard while totem carvings flew around the arrays before the arrays merged into one, unleashing powerful energy that sealed the entrance of the Abyss.
686
687"Let's go!" One of the judges said as they all entered the Abyss.
688
689Meanwhile in the Abyss, Zhong Yue was catching his breath, trying his best to recover. Once he had enough rest, he immediately activated the altar of the [Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art] again, offering the three eye judge as energy to the ritual.
690
691This three-eyed judge was one of the strongest among the eighteen judges, and if Zhong Yue hadn't learned the [Mystic Dao Breaker] or gathered enough energy, it would not have been easy to kill this judge.
692
693My soul is abnormally strong and Bi and An said that my strength is only a little bit weaker than the judges, which means that my strength is similar to a Deity Overlord, but I am still much weaker than this three-eyed judge. The [Mystic Dao Breaker] is also one of the strongest skills I've ever come across with!
694
695Zhong Yue blinked his eyes, pushed the altar to the limit to absorb the three-eyed judge, and he thought, But the biggest weakness of this spell is that it takes a very long time to activate it and the more energy gathered, the harder it is to control. In a real battle, there will be little to no chance to launch this spell unless I gather more the energy beforehand.
696
697As compared the other lesser to greater spells of his own that could actually aid in proper combat, the [Mystic Dao Breaker] had too many restrictions despite its immense power.
698
699"Fuxi Celestial Race… Fuxi…"
700
701The old Creator looked at Zhong Yue from behind the bars as his expression underwent a multitude of changes before he said, "A Fuxi… Do you know that you might be the last remaining Fuxi in the world?"
702
703Zhong Yue remained calm, activated [Mystic Dao Breaker] again and channelled the energy of the three-eyed judge into the two sharp cones, "They said that there are still people from the same race on the Zi Wei Celestial Star. I've also run into a Fuxi lady some time ago."
704
705"Hmph! The Fuxi Celestial Race in that place? Those guys?"
706
707The old Creator replied with a mocking smile and he said again, "I'm afraid that we will create a rather large ruckus as you try to get me out of here, but whatever happens after your identity is exposed would be even worse. Hehe…"
708
709He then stopped before saying again, "The art I created myself is called the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture] and this is my proudest creation. What I went against on was my poor talent and thus, going against the will of the heaven. And you…."
710
711Shaking his head, he said again, "The Fuxi Celestial Race will really have to go against all wills if they want to regain their honor. Whatever you will have to carry in the future will be hundreds or even a thousand times tougher than what I carry now! Now, my young friend from the Fuxi Celestial Race… If you are willing to give up your body in this life, drop your identity as a Fuxi Celestial Race and hide forever, then I can help you to reborn into a bloodline of a similar standard to yours right now."
712
713Proudly, the old Creator said, "I may have been sealed here for a long time, but I still have some influence on the outside that could even allow you to be reborn into a royal bloodline, granting you a chance for a fresh start."
714
715Zhong Yue kept quiet and suddenly, he laughed and said, "Elder, were you happy when you created the [Great Insurrection Heavenly Scripture]?"
716
717The Creator stuttered, remained silent and said, "It was the happiest moment of my time. My inherent talent was weak, but I had managed to reverse my fate. I triumphed against all those who had superior talent. Each time I won was like a wave of validation and euphoria that washed through me."
718
719"Then I guess I am the same, elder." replied Zhong Yue.
720
721Immediately, the Creator stopped trying to convince him and said, "You are a Fuxi, but your bloodline is not fully awakened. I once heard from the ancestors talking about the Fuxi, they said that their spirit is just like yours… Hmmm? The seventeen judges have entered the Abyss!"
722
723At that moment, Zhong Yue finally completed what he was doing and immediately, he turned into the Fuxi True Form and channeled the power of the [Mystic Dao Breaker] all into the cell!
724
725The sharp tip of the [Mystic Dao Breaker] slammed onto the cell, and as it's power erupted, totem carvings hidden in the sharp points emerged and turned into powerful energy that rampaged on the seals.
726
727Meanwhile, the totem carvings on the cell appeared, unleashing their power and trying to stop the breaching of [Mystic Dao Breaker] !
728
729The powers clashed but as totem carvings kept appearing from the sharp point, the [Mystic Dao Breaker] continued piercing through the cell.
730
731At a certain point, the sharp point of [Mystic Dao Breaker] faced a very strong resistance, but when Zhong Yue looked at Qiu Jin'er, she turned into the Nu Wa Form and together, they channelled power into [Mystic Dao Breaker] that allowed it to advance even further!
732
733Hong long—- hong long——
734
735Tremors occurred when the sharp point pierced into the cell, and after breaching through countless barriers, the [Mystic Dao Breaker] came very close to breaking the seal.
736
737At this point, even the old Creator got a little more nervous, and he shouted with a tremendously loud voice, "Hurry! The judges are very near! Just a little bit more! Hurry!"
738
739Zhong Yue let out a loud cry and controlled all his strength, pouring everything he had left into the [Mystic Dao Breaker] .
740
741At the same time, the judges all appeared and entered Zhong Yue's vision!
742
743The thousand-arm judge stretched out his hands with mirrors in his palms, a lion body judge raised up a huge axe, while the others unsheathed different kinds of weapons.
744
745When the judges looked at them, their faces darkened when they saw the [Mystic Dao Breaker] of Zhong Yue that was already close to breaking through the seals.
746
747"Hurry, sound the Soul Reaping Bell for the Hell Emperor!"
748
749The seventeen judges shouted and swung their weapons towards Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er that emitted relentless power!
750
751At the same time, seals on the prison cell were finally breached, and this had drained Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er's power dry, and they no longer possessed the ability to defend themselves from the judges.
752
753In the prison cell, the old Creator laughed happily and his body shrunk eerily before he flew into the sharp tip and vanished.
754
755As soon as he disappeared, the weapons being hurled towards Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er got halted in the air right away.
756
757A huge bell rang, launched an odd sound that could cause souls to explode then descended from the skies, entered the Abyss and over the judges before it struck towards Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er.
758
759Suddenly, a palm reached out from the sharp point, knocked at the bell and the bell sound dispersed before being sent flying away to the top by the palm.
760
761"Run! Hurry!"
762
763A judge let out a shriek and the other judges quickly ran for their lives.
764
765From the sharp point, the old Creator flew out with only the top half of his body and he shouted happily, "I'm out! I'm finally out of this place!"
766
767His voice was so loud that it caused the Abyss to tremble and the judges running for their lives immediately got injured.
768
769"Old man, let me push you out." then said Qiu Jin'er.
770
771The old Creator stopped laughing, looked at this girl in surprise and he actually nodded quietly and gave her a rare smile, "Ok. Push me out, I want to see how things have changed after I got locked in."
772
773Qiu Jin'er looked at Zhong Yue and the two then pushed the wheelchair towards the outside.
774
775Zhong Yue then suddenly said, "Elder, why don't we get the others out of here as well? If they got released, things would be easier for us too with them helping us to attract attention."
776
777"Then hell will be crushed into the pieces and the order of this world will be disrupted if you let them out…."
778
779The old Creator shook his head and said, "These guys will probably destroy all the souls in Hell and the living beings in the Six Paths World will lose their lives too. Whoever releases them will have effectively committed the greatest sin under heaven, and their consequences will surely match that. Those guys in there have already lost their minds."
780
781"Lost their mind?" said an unknown loud voice.
782
783Suddenly, a cell with only a huge skeleton suddenly shook and flesh grew from the skeleton before transforming into a very handsome man. This man smirked and then said, "He Lan, they will face heavenly punishment if they let us out but will they not suffer the same time if they save you? They too will also face the punishment because they helped you!"
784
785Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were immediately scared as they quickly turned toward the old Creator.
786
787To their relief, the old Creator replied," I will not kill anyone in this place or even the entire Six Path Worlds! With that, I will not bring any unfortunate events to these two. Now, I am sure that I can do this but can you say the same for yourself?"
788
789The man laughed and mocked the Creator, "Not killing anyone? The infamous creator, He Lan, not killing anyone? Am I now hearing things? Haha, I guess I really have lost my mind!"
790
791The face of the Creator turned dark as he shouted right away, "Impossible! I will continue killing someone but not here! I will only do this when I leave this place so that I will not drag these two into our matters!"
792
793Chapter 643: Ancestral Court, Distant Relative
794
795
796
797The hatred in him was so intense that it actually affected Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er, and inner demons began to fester within their psyche ocean. Just how strong was his hatred to be able to interfere with Qi Practitioners of Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er's caliber!
798
799"Your hatred is too strong, Creator He Lan."
800
801The man in the cell mocked, "Your killing intent is too intense too, you just can't extinguish your desire to kill."
802
803As the man talked, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er continued walking towards the front while pushing the old Creator in the wheelchair; this old Creator was emotionally unstable and would constantly lose control of himself. They were worried that whether or not this old Creator would push the responsibility to them just in case he really lost control to a point beyond redemption.
804
805For Qiu Jin'er, things would still be barely acceptable but things would not be the same for Zhong Yue; he had already receive the backlash of sealing the godly bloodlines in the Ancestral Star, which taxed his lifespan to only two to three hundred years left. If another larger curse was to be bestowed upon him, he would probably be killed right away!
806
807I've never thought just saving someone would actually place me in such a dangerous situation.
808
809Zhong Yue thought, But he is right, I really must not let them escape from here. The old Creator might still be able to hold himself back, but these guys won't!
810
811"Creator He Lan!"
812
813Another voice was heard; it was the crazy old man with long white hair that reached the ground, "Let me out of here and I will help you to fight your way into the heavens! You were framed by that man and were humiliated with the words carved on your head. Even bottom half of your body was severed by him. You alone will not be enough to seek revenge, but with me, things can be different! Besides, with the friendship you and I had throughout these years…."
814
815"No!"
816
817The old Creator gave him a cold glance and said coldly, "Our friendship is nothing!"
818
819Right away, the expression of the white haired old man changed and he said furiously, "Old god! You will end up badly! When I get out, I swear I will slaughter your entire family!"
820
821Zhong Yue frowned upon seeing this scene, and he felt that it was indeed wise to not save these guys anymore. They had proven themselves too dangerous for that.
822
823"Creator He Lan, can you please save me?"
824
825Cries for help echoed out from the cells around them; some had threatening tones, others had seductive tones. But the old Creator ignored them all.
826
827Some time later, when they got to the cell where the monster ape was locked in, Zhong Yue suddenly heard the old Creator whispering to him, "Now, say out loud, make sure he hears you requesting me to save him."
828
829Zhong Yue stuttered and he quickly looked at the old Creator in confusion.
830
831The old Creator then said, "He is an amazing one. Though he is dying, his strength is still formidable and he is not one of the evildoers, he is worthy of being saved. If you save him, he will be grateful of you, and you will be rewarded greatly in the future. If the Fuxi Celestial Race wants to rise again, you will need many strong allies on your side."
832
833Zhong Yue remained quiet and he suddenly said, "Elder He Lan, can you please save this Monster Emperor from imprisonment?"
834
835In the cell, Monster Emperor Yuan Qi opened up his eyes when he heard this and he looked at them in puzzlement. The old Creator then said, "What's the point? His body is dying soon and he will definitely be reborn into the next life. He'll inevitably have to restart his cultivation all over again because of this. Besides. If he started a massacre in this Six Path World, the sins he committed will be on your shoulders, and you will be punished by heaven because of this. I hope you have considered this, boy."
836
837With a serious expression, Zhong Yue replied, "I've thought about this carefully, please help me."
838
839Pretending to be unwilling, the old Creator said, "Fine, I will get him out of here, but first, little Monster Emperor Yuan Qi, don't you dare kill anyone in Hell or the Six Paths World."
840
841"Why all the fuss? I'm dying in no time and I will most probably be reborn as an ordinary man or perhaps some cattle that could no longer cultivate anymore. Why save me still?" Monster Emperor Yuan Qi questioned as his eyes darkened.
842
843The old Creator smirked, "I am the Creator He Lan! If you want to be reborn, then reborn but if you don't, then how hard do you think building a new body will be to me?"
844
845Immediately, a spark of hope ignited in the heart of Monster Emperor Yuan Qi while the old Creator pointed his finger towards the cell Monster Emperor Yuan Qi was locked in, unleashed the power of [Mystic Dao Breaker]. In his hands, the power of this spell was much much more powerful than Zhong Yue's.
846
847With only a finger, the old Creator destroyed the cell and Monster Emperor Yuan Qi got out of the cell, bowed. He thanked the old Creator, who said, "Why are you thanking me? If it weren't for this boy, I wouldn't even bat an eye at you."
848
849Quickly, Monster Emperor Yuan Qi expressed his gratitude toward Zhong Yue, "I will never forget your kindness."
850
851"Don't worry about it," replied Zhong Yue as he bowed back at Monster Emperor Yuan Qi.
852
853"I will now bring them out of this place and when you need their help one day, they will be there for you," the old Creator said to Zhong Yue.
854
855They?
856
857Zhong Yue noticed the strange phrasing, but after they reaching another cell, he immediately understood what the old Creator meant.
858
859In this cell sat a golden god with the debris of a sun lying everywhere around him. He was snoring thunderously.
860
861"Elder He Lan, this senior here seems to be very promising and he does not look like any of those evil sinners. I've also heard that he was framed by someone, but in truth, he did not do anything wrong. I wonder if you can help me get him out of here?"
862
863Surprised by Zhong Yue's request, the golden god woke up from his slumber, looked at Zhong Yue, greeted him and thanked, "Thanks for your help, my brother. My name is Shang Yu and I am called Yu Emperor by others. If you save me today, I will repay your debt to me in one day with all I can!"
864
865He had a very unique presence, a certain kind of patience and calmness that seemed lacking in other evil gods. When others would have lost their sense and gotten even more rampant, this golden god retained his composure and remained unaffected even after sleeping for a long time.
866
867The old Creator looked at him and he said, "You may have your enemies still living happily out there but you must not make any moves against them or you will involve your saviour into your private affairs. Can you guarantee that you will not attack anyone?"
868
869With a serious expression, Yu Emperor quickly said, "If what I do will affect the one who saved me, then I will not do anything."
870
871"Good."
872
873The old Creator then released Yu Wang, had him follow beside him. The old Creator's eyes felt like they could see through good and evil; as they walked towards the exit, he would secretly tell Zhong Yue who to save and more often than not, these gods that were saved were good people that only got locked up in here because they somehow offended the higher ups in the Six Paths World.
874
875Zhong Yue did as old Creator said while the old Creator released these gods. Whether or not they would really thank Zhong Yue was unknown but they had all agreed to the terms of the old Creator, followed him out and refraining from attacking.
876
877The gods chosen by the old Creator were very specific; he did not save the evil ones or those in the deeper levels because those in the deeper levels were not weaker than him, which would make enforcement of their promise quite difficult.
878
879And throughout their way out, they released 99 of them and finally arrived at the door in and out of the Abyss.
880
881Outside of the door were countless hell officers and the array they formed; the seventeen judges stood at the centre of the array while the Hell Emperor stood at the end, supervising everything.
882
883Suddenly, an intense energy came charging out from the door, shattering the array into pieces, sent the hell officers flying away and among them were the seventeen judges.
884
885Hell Emperor too, suffered some injuries and everyone backed off immediately with a heavy heart.
886
887Along with Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er, the old Creator who was in Qiu Jin'er's wheelchair then appeared after the dust dispersed, he looked at the hell officers coldly and said proudly, "You can't even take on a breath from me, just back off!"
888
889Hell Emperor suppressed his injuries, swallowed the blood that almost came rushing out from his mouth and shouted, "Creator He Lan! What is the use of escaping? I've already notified Heaven and I do not see anywhere that you can run away to."
890
891Upon hearing his, the old Creator looked at Hell Emperor, caused him to panic and after a numbness struck all over his body, he spit out blood from his mouth and dove into the Sea of Oblivion right away.
892
893Right away, Monster Emperor Yuan Qi flew into the top of the ocean and shouted, "Give me back my body!"
894
895Hua la—-
896
897A huge ape body flew out from the ocean and the soul of Monster Emperor Yuan Qi quickly flew into his body before he shouted, "And my weapon!"
898
899The ocean split apart under his shout and a golden cane flew out from the ocean.
900
901"Let's go."
902
903The old Creator said calmly, "Those in the Heaven is waiting for our arrivals already.
904
905Then, under the lead of the old Creator, Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin'er and the ninety nine gods walked past one after another hell building, they followed the Bridge of Helplessness and soon arrived outside of the Serene Darkness City.
906
907Suddenly, Zhong Yue felt something and he looked up into the skies, he saw gigantic golden cloud descended from the skies, carrying gigantic warships on them and there were humongous banners all over the ships.
908
909In bright celestial ray and thunderous drummings, countless Heaven officers arrived, unleashed their aura and one after another gigantic figures rose up and looked at them from the top.
910
911"Nonsense! How dare you break the rules of the Heaven and attempt to rebel against us!"
912
913An almighty Heaven general shouted, "If you are not out of your mind yet, kneel down and plead guilty! Go against the will of Heaven and suffer the consequences!"
914
915Suddenly, the old Creator roared, shattered the golden cloud with invisible sound waves, knocked the warships into each other without effort and caused the seemingly strong individuals to suffer injuries.
916
917In just a blink of an eye, the old Creator managed to cripple the entire battalion!
918
919"Fuxi, we will now part ways. I will take them with me and when you need them, come look for me in the Ancestral Court. I am in your debt and I have no idea how to repay you, which is why I did all this."
920
921With the ninety nine gods dealt with, he then broke the dimension of hell away from the Six Paths World and just when he was about to enter the dimension portal, Zhong Yue stopped him and asked, "Elder He Lan, where is this Ancestral Court you talk about?"
922
923"The Ancestral Court, it is the origin to both the Fuxi Celestial Race and Sui Sovereign, it is known as—Leize!"
924
925They then entered the dimension portal and as they faded away, the sound of the old Creator could be heard saying, "Do not forget this, young boy from Fuxi Celestial race. There are still many friends and relatives of your kin out there! And me, I am a distant relative of yours! Remember, when you are about to disrupt the false order created by these fools, stir chaos in this world, come and find me there!"
926
927Zhong Yue had a shock and he sent them off with his eyes.
928
929After the old Creator and the other gods disappeared, Qiu Jin'er quickly said, "Senior martial brother, we must not linger here any longer. We must hurry back to the Six Paths World so that we don't get exposed by the others!"
930
931Zhong Yue nodded and when he was about to remove his mask, he suddenly saw a white Wu Chang standing alone at the top of the Serene Darkness Mansion.
932
933"Tianzheng?"
934
935Zhong Yue was stunned for a moment and he said, "Senior Martial Brother Tianzheng, you must leave this place now! The Heaven forces will arrive again, you…."
936
937"I do not need to hide." Tianzheng interrupted and he smiled at Zhong Yue as he said again, "Unlike you, my identity is real, so why do I need to hide?"
938
939"The real one? Then why did you?" asked a startled Zhong Yue.
940
941His question however, left unanswered as Tianzheng waved his hand, interrupted Zhong Yue again and said, "I hope that next time we cross path again, we will still be friends and not enemies. I'll seeing you, Junior Martial Brother Zhong Yue."
942
943Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er removed their masks and soon vanished into the Hell.
944
945Chapter 644: Summoning From The Dharma King
946
947
948
949Just as they disappeared, leaving no traces behind, the dimension was torn apart again and one after another, experts gods jumped out from the cracked dimension, each leading their own troops.
950
951At the same time, along with the judges and hell officers, the Hell Emperor came rushing out from the Abyss and the two forces merged together but their targets were nowhere in sight anymore.
952
953Their faces darkened down immediately and they felt their faces heat up in anger and embarrassment.
954
955"That guy is with the two fake Hell Overseers!"
956
957"Arrest him!" A judge said as he looked at Tianzheng.
958
959Tianzheng however, remained calm and he took out a token before he said, "What is this?"
960
961The judges smirked upon this and they all mocked, "How dare you try to get over this with just a puny token? Such bravery! Arrest him now! Disember him and banish him into reincarnating as a pig in his next life!"
962
963"Judges, stop your nonsense right away!" A heaven shouted officer after he took a careful look at the token.
964
965He then quickly knelt onto the ground and said respectfully, "Hail the seventeenth son of the Realm Monarch!"
966
967Right away, the armies knelt on the ground, let out a loud noise as their knees touched the ground at the same time and they shouted unitedly, "Hail the seventeenth son of the Realm Monarch!"
968
969"At ease, soldiers. I am the son of the monarch, not the monarch himself. There is no need for such formality. Besides, even the son of the monarch is also a normal being, it's just that my starting point was slightly higher than yours, so please, let us skip the formalities."
970
971He then raised his hand and said, "Gentlemen, at ease. I'm here to inspect, not to show off."
972
973At this point, the Hell Emperor and the judges were shocked that the Realm Monarch actually sent his seventeenth son as the Hell Overseer and they almost mistaken him as one of the culprits that released the prisoners. Now that they think of this, they couldn't feel anything more but to be scared.
974
975On the other hand, Tianzheng looked at the direction where Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er disappeared and he thought, The secrets of heaven must not be spoken…. Our paths will cross again one day.
976
977He then continued thinking, Chang Tianji, thanks to you, I finally managed to retrieve my own Book of Life and Death. It is not easy to be the child of the monarch, especially when my power is still far too weak compared to my brothers and sisters. If they backstabbed me, god knows what would happen to me… But now.. Because of you, I can now control my own fate. It's just a shame that I couldn't get a chance to get your name….
978
979Meanwhile in Bi An Precipice, Bi and An, Shi Buyi, Bai Canghai, Jun Sixie and Old Man Six Paths gathered around the body of Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er, safeguarding their body.
980
981Zhong Yue's and Qiu Jin'er's body were still emitting immense life force even despite though their soul not being in their body. Suddenly, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er opened their eyes, looked around and Qiu Jin'er thanked everyone, "Did everyone stay here for so long? You guys guarded us for half a year without leaving at all?"
982
983"What half a year?" said Shi Buyi shockingly, "Both of you had only been gone for half a day. You entered the hell cycle at late noon and it's only daybreak now."
984
985"The time in hell and the time in reality is extremely different. A year in Hell is only a day in reality." explained Bi and An, "So, only half a day has passed after you spent half a year in hell. Junior martial brother Zhong, did you manage to release the person I spoke of?"
986
987Zhong Yue nodded and said, "I did but instead of following us back here, he left this Six Path World straight away."
988
989Bi and An however, did not bother much. They clapped and said happily, "Everything is good as long as he is released. Wherever he goes is not of concern. Thank you, Junior Martial Brother Zhong and Junior Martial Sister Qiu."
990
991Bai Canghai quickly asked, "Did you guys alter the Book of Life and Death?"
992
993Jun Sixie, Old Man Six Paths and Shi Buyi immediately tensed up, they looked at Zhong Yue nervously and everyone celebrated happily when they saw Zhong Yue nodded his head. Zhong Yue then shared with them what he had gone through in Hell and everyone couldn't help but to laugh.
994
995When Zhong Yue talked about the real Hell Overseer, Tianzheng and how he altered the Book of Life and Death and how he let them go so easily in the end, everyone was in shock and they all made their own guesses about Tianzheng's true identity.
996
997"He must be a very big person or he wouldn't be qualified to be appointed as the hell inspector."
998
999Jun Sixie said, "But why did he cut away his own Book of Life and Death?"
1000
1001The gods saved by Creator He Lan would eventually become a great help in the future for Zhong Yue. But Zhong Yue did not dwell into this matter for a lot of things were involved. Thus, Zhong Yue opted keep this a secret to him and himself only.
1002
1003Though Qiu Jin'er followed Zhong Yue into Hell and went through the same thing, whatever Creator He Lan told Zhong Yue was entirely through psyche, which bypassed her completely.
1004
1005This was all because that the more they knew, the more dangerous they would be; Creator He Lan once said that what lied ahead at Zhong Yue's path as a FuxI was many times harder than his.
1006
1007"Congratulations, you have both returned unharmed and altered the Book of Life and Death, this is a very nice thing!."
1008
1009An said, "After a few more days, Emerald Heaven Dharma King will be summoning us; you killed her son and the incident where Junior Martial Brother Zhong beheaded the Reverse Emperor should have spread through the entire Prison Realm. We brothers have our own humble influence in this realm and with our help, the Realm Lord should have heard about this by now, and with that, Emerald Heaven Dharma King will not do anything recklessly. This means that when she summons you, there will not be any lethal dangers. But in the future, they're bound to be more dangers waiting for you ahead."
1010
1011Bi then added, "You must watch out for one thing; the battles in the future will be tougher but the next one will be the competition among everyone in the Prison Realm where talented and powerful experts are abundant!"
1012
1013"In the Prison Realm, the Left Fang Galaxy is only one of the mid-tier faction and there are a few hundred thousand of them that are on the same level as this galaxy!"
1014
1015"Among these galaxies, there are even more strong individuals like us brothers and there are even more talented ones like Li Tianxing!"
1016
1017Zhong Yue let out a long breath as after he settled the problem of his identity in this world, he is considered as one of them and he will no longer be worried about being killed by the likes of Emerald Heaven Dharma King.
1018
1019And in the battle between those in his generation, be it the reincarnated gods or talents like Li Tianxing, Zhong Yue was confident that he will be able to triumph over them!
1020
1021"One more thing." said Bi to Jun Sixie, "You have yet to awaken your innate true spirit so I do not recommend you to participate in the next battle but for Junior Martial Sister Qiu, I think you would be able to participate!"
1022
1023Zhong Yue too, looked Jun Sixie and through psyche, he said, "Senior martial sister, the battle in the competition is too dangerous for you. It is better this way, after all, we are not natives in this world and although I have altered the Book of Life and Death, we are still fakes…."
1024
1025Jun Sixie looked at Qiu Jin'er, shook her head and said proudly, "If Junior Martial Sister Qiu can take part in this competition then why can't I? I am eager to find out the gap between these strong participants from the other worlds and mine!"
1026
1027She then said again, "I am confident that I am not any weaker than them after I completed everything I lack!"
1028
1029Since when was the proud Jun Sixie afraid of something? Since when did she admit that she was inferior to the others?
1030
1031Zhong Yue frowned slightly at Jun Sixie's attitude of wanting to be stronger than anyone; if he insisted on advising her to give up, she might get angry at him and this will affect her confidence as well.
1032
1033But if she took part in the competition, she was bound to face grave danger!
1034
1035Unlike Qiu Jin'er who had awoken her Innate True Spirit, being granted with immense power that could allow her to go toe-to-toe with the gods, Jun Sixie was still not as strong as Qiu Jin'er even after rectifying her flaws from the Ancestral Star cultivation system. She was still at the demigod level and there was still somewhat of a gap between her strength to that of Bi and An.
1036
1037"I guess I will not take part in the competition."
1038
1039Bai Canghai quickly said with an awkward laugh, "My capabilities are not as good as yours so I figure I should just stay behind."
1040
1041Zhong Yue nodded and replied, "But you will still have to come with us upon the summoning of Emerald Heaven Dharma King."
1042
1043"Of course." replied Bai Canghai proudly, "I still want to travel around, meet with different individuals and if I'm lucky, I might be able to come across an Innate Curse Body expert to learn from!"
1044
1045And just like Bi and An said, news came from the Left Fang Galaxy a few days later, summoning every winner in the battles to the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace to heed the orders of Emerald Heaven Dharma King.
1046
1047They then all started moving and through teleportation, they passed one galaxy after another and to soon arrive at Emerald Heaven Starry Palace after a few days.
1048
1049"Once we arrive at Emerald Heaven Starry Palace, we will not be able to provide any help anymore if you encountered any danger."
1050
1051As soon as they touched the ground, Bi and An looked at each other and they said together, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, our friendships end here! We are now clear from each other's' debts; you helped me saved the person we wanted to save and we altered the Book of Life and Death as per your request."
1052
1053Zhong Yue bowed at them and thanked, "Anyhow, thank you for your help."
1054
1055"You're welcomed." replied the brothers before they left.
1056
1057Then, Zhong Yue brought along Jun Sixie, Qiu Jin'er and the others as he headed towards Emerald Heaven Starry Palace.
1058
1059Far away, Bi and An looked at the back of Zhong Yue and suddenly, Bi said, "Not close and not too distance."
1060
1061An nodded and they both said, "Neither strangers nor friends. Our help to him must end here and we must not get too close with him or once his secrets are exposed, we will be dragged into this mess too. We however, could provide help to him secretly since we are after all, distant relatives."
1062
1063They looked into each other's eyes again and they entered Emerald Heaven Starry Palace after giving each other a smile.
1064
1065The Emerald Heaven Starry Palace was grand; it was made entirely from a planet and strengthened the earth surface and planet core with the godly metals. When looked at it far away, the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace appeared like a gigantic mansion circling around the sun.
1066
1067But when compared to the Bi An Precipice of Bi and An, the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace was still much inferior; it's Dao was not as advanced and the spiritual energy was not as abundant as the Bi An Precipice.
1068
1069With that said, the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace was still a very great place; it far surpassed the other places and it was still a very rare ideal place for cultivation.
1070
1071"Junior Martial Brother Zhong, I will not be weaker than any of these Qi Practitioners here!" Jun Sixie suddenly said when she looked around curiously.
1072
1073Chapter 645: Stunned
1074
1075
1076
1077Zhong Yue stuttered at her words as he had no clue as to why Jun Sixie brought up this topic again.
1078
1079Jun Sixie pointed at the surroundings and the Qi Practitioners crowding around Emerald Heaven Starry Palace and said loudly, "With such immense spiritual power, such perfected rules of Dao, and such incredible heritage, these fools only managed to cultivate to such a pathetic level! I came from a very poor place and I too, am at the same level as them! If I had the same conditions, I would have been much better than what am I now. All I lack is time!"
1080
1081"I, Jun Sixie, will prove that I am not weaker than any of them here!"
1082
1083There were a lot of Qi Practitioners in Emerald Heaven Starry Palace right now, and all of them were top tier Qi Practitioners, with even their followers being experts themselves.
1084
1085And whatever Jun Sixie said, with the confidence shown by her and her contemptuous tone toward them, had gathered quite a bit of attention to her.
1086
1087When they saw that it was a human girl that let out such big words, these gods, demons, and Qi Practitioners from various races shook their heads and laughed mockingly with and even their followers bursting out with laughter.
1088
1089Jun Sixie, however, ignored them and looked at Zhong Yue. "Junior martial brother, you believe me, right?"
1090
1091"Yes, I do."
1092
1093Zhong Yue replied, "I've never underestimated you, senior martial sister! Back then, senior martial sister once said that your zither will be something even more marvelous than the Ten Malefic Weapons, I already knew that you will be someone greater than most of them outside! You have already proven yourself as a great person when you became the headmaster of Swords Gate for the sake of humanity in the Great Wilderness. You carried the massive burden on your shoulders! And even in spite of your improvements being hampered by the responsibilities of being a headmaster, you've already reached such a stage."
1094
1095Right away, a smile bloomed on Jun Sixie's face and she said happily, "Thank you, junior martial brother."
1096
1097However, everyone around the two of them laughed happily; some rolled on the ground, some covered their mouth, some stomped on the ground as they all felt that the human young man and young lady were very hilarious.
1098
1099"These two, they actually are brave enough to say something so big in the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace and they said it out loud so highly!" said a Qi Practitioner as he laughed.
1100
1101"This is interesting, I must see it for myself."
1102
1103A demonic god shook and said, "Every time we are summoned here, we would always run into someone who failed to realize their limits. These two little ones… They came from the lowly human race yet still speak as if they are so high and almighty…"
1104
1105Zhong Yue did not bother about the mockings of those around him and he said to Jun Sixie through psyche, "Senior martial sister, I brought out a lot of nice stuff from hell and perhaps, a couple of them might be able to help you save a decent amount of time. I will pass them to you once we get to somewhere with no people."
1106
1107Jun Sixie's eyes lit up and she was extremely moved by Zhong Yue.
1108
1109"These two tiny ones, they are surprisingly cute, where are they from?"
1110
1111An Imminent Deity Qi Practitioner laughed and added, "Did their parents not teach them? This is Emerald Heaven Starry Palace, the place where Emerald Heaven Dharma King lived in. It is definitely alright to come here to experience things but it will be too much if they bragged about themselves publicly."
1112
1113Aside from Zhong Yue and Jun Sixie, Shi Buyi was about to snap, but in the end, he calmed himself down while Old Man Six Paths did not even flinch.
1114
1115At this moment, some Qi Practitioners looked to the top of Emerald Heaven Starry Palace and someone shouted, "Zhen Yao has arrived!"
1116
1117Then, a luxurious ship sailed towards the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace from far away and soon entered it.
1118
1119This ship was entirely being pulled by three colourful phoenixes and when the ship touched the ground, the phoenixes turned into three Phoenix clan's members and they stood aside.
1120
1121A lady then gracefully got down from the ship while the three Pheonix clan ladies immediately retrieved the ship before they followed behind the lady.
1122
1123This lady let out a very calm aura, some kind of elegance and gracefulness surrounded her but her stares were cold; it was as if she had seen deaths for too many times that she no longer took anything too seriously.
1124
1125And this lady was Zhen Yao, whose soul had a lifespan of 50,000 years!
1126
1127Just with that, she was already leagues ahead of others because in order to achieve this, one had to be one at the Emperor level!
1128
1129Besides, just from seeing how three Pheonix clan's gods being the one pulling her ride, everyone could tell that Zhen Yao was a very powerful person.
1130
1131Suddenly, a rainbow appeared, hanging countless miles long in the skies like a long path and a carriage pulled by two pegasuses rode on the rainbow path.
1132
1133As the carriage landed, the pegasuses turned into two servants that stood at the side of the carriage and they said respectfully, "Madam."
1134
1135From the carriage came an alluring lady that bore the appearance of a noble lady; she was extremely beautiful and the frown on her face was causing everyone's heart to break.
1136
1137This lady was the concubine of Realm Monarch that was banished into the Prison Realm, Concubine Han.
1138
1139Concubine Han raised her hand and the rainbow hanging high up in the sky shrunk and flew into her sleeves.
1140
1141Then, the sky trembled and a divine ray descended from the skies. The ray was extremely huge and when the ray dispersed, Li Tianxing walked out along with three godly servants.
1142
1143When the three of them arrived, people from the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace got out and welcomed them immediately, "The king has been waiting for quite some time already."
1144
1145The trio nodded and followed the personnel from Emerald Heaven Starry Palace.
1146
1147"These three are really something. No wonder they could triumph in the battle in twin-stars."
1148
1149A god struck his palms together and said, "Unlike Zhen Yao and Concubine Han that had rich experience from their past lives, Li Tianxing is very strong for being able to have three gods to serve him."
1150
1151Everyone nodded and an Imminent Deity Qi Practitioner looked at Zhong Yue and Jun Sixie before he said, "Humans, did you see that? Unlike the two of you whose words speak louder than your actions, those three there are real Qi Practitioners!"
1152
1153Bai Canghai failed to remain his calm and he immediately argued back, "What's so great about them? Why do you only mock us!"
1154
1155"All you need to know is that they are a hundred, thousand and many times better than you garbage!"
1156
1157The Qi Practitioner grinned and shouted, "Garbage, you were born into the wrong race! What can a mere human do? Now now, why don't you let me eat you so that you can be reborn into another race?!"
1158
1159"Brother Bai, we shouldn't create a scene since we have all committed sins. It's better to lay low."
1160
1161Bai Canghai however, was very unhappy and he said, "There are gods to welcome Li Tianxing but why is there no one to welcome us? Are we not well known enough?"
1162
1163"Hey! Garbages, are you done considering my suggestion?" The Qi Practitioner interrupted suddenly.
1164
1165To his question, Zhong Yue flicked his finger and a hole immediately appeared on the Imminent Deity level Qi Practitioner's forehead before his body fell onto the ground.
1166
1167Zhong Yue's sudden action startled Bai Canghai and he shouted, "Brother Zhong, didn't you say we should lay low?"
1168
1169Zhong Yue answered with his psyche, "I was lying. We should lay low but these guys in Prison Realm are all scum. If we do not fight back after they mock us, they will think that we are easy targets. They will target us first no matter what happens in the future."
1170
1171"Besides, these jerks did not know that I've killed Reverse Emperor. It seems this matter did not create enough attention and let my name to spread out all over the Left Fang Galaxy or these fools should be looking at me differently." said Zhong Yue.
1172
1173"Damn you!"
1174
1175A god shouted angrily, grabbed towards Zhong Yue and he said furiously, "How dare you kill my student."
1176
1177Zhong Yue's saber was unsheathed and he hacked the Solar Divine Saber at his enemy; divine ray shot to the skies and the god's expression changed drastically as his palm was cut by the saber!
1178
1179Upon feeling that things were not going the way he thought, the god quickly backed off and dodged Zhong Yue's attack before charging straight toward Zhong Yue again.
1180
1181At the same time, Zhong Yue advanced, unsheathing the other saber, which was the Metamagnet Divine Saber. He then slashed towards that Qi Practitioner
1182
1183Ze ze ze—
1184
1185Ear-piercing noises sounded out and shrieks from the god could be heard; his body was covered in blood, and there was no longer an unmarred spot on his body after being attacked by Zhong Yue, he flew back and rammed into a few buildings before he lied there without lifting even a finger.
1186
1187After showing off his strength, Zhong Yue sheathed his sabers indifferently.
1188
1189WIth the two attacks, Zhong Yue had stunned everyone around him, and silence overwhelmed the surroundings after he killed an Imminent Deity expert with just a flick of a finger, while also critically injuring another with only two strikes. Although the god did not even bother to take Zhong Yue on seriously, he was still injured by Zhong Yue. And from how Zhong Yue attacked, they could tell that Zhong Yue was not someone they could harass.
1190
1191With that, Zhong Yue had completely overwhelmed the presence of Li Tianxing, Concubine Han and Zhen Yao and he attracted everyone's attention!
1192
1193I suppose everyone should know who am I now….
1194
1195Zhong Yue figured, If they still don't, I will have to kill them all and if I've killed enough, the others should be able to recognize me.
1196
1197As soon as he thought of this, a god came running out from Emerald Heaven Starry Palace and shouted, "Zhong Yue! Cease your nonsense at once! Zhong Yue, Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai, the king is waiting for you and why are you all still causing so much trouble here instead of entering Emerald Heaven Starry Palace to see her?"
1198
1199Zhong Yue burst out laughing and walked towards that god, "It is not I who tried to create so much trouble. All of this happened because you did not come out to invite us in, leaving these fools to provoke me!"
1200
1201Upon hearing his reply, anger rose within the god's eyes, and he immediately fired two laser attacks from them while Zhong Yue retaliated by launching a gold and a white laser attack from his own eyes.
1202
1203The four beams of light turned into four dragons that clashed with each other in mid air as they roared angrily. Suddenly, in mid-air, blood rained down from the skies and the dragons vanished into thin air.
1204
1205The god then turned around and said calmly, "With that strength, no wonder you could cut down the Reverse Emperor!"
1206
1207And it was only now that everyone in front of Emerald Heaven Starry Palace noticed that blood was dripping down from the eyes of this god after the Zhong Yue's attack almost destroyed his eyes.
1208
1209Startled and shocked, these Qi Practitioners remained silent as they looked at Zhong Yue and the others who were walking toward Emerald Heaven Starry Palace.
1210
1211"They killed Reverse Emperor? They are?"
1212
1213"The Sun and Moon Innate Spirit Body!"
1214
1215"The Wood Innate Spirit Body!"
1216
1217"The Water Innate Spirit Body!"
1218
1219"And the Cursed Innate Spirit Body!"
1220
1221"Could the lion and old man over there be their servants?"
1222
1223Chapter 646: Interrogate
1224
1225
1226
1227Old Man Six Paths and I are their servants?
1228
1229Hearing this, Shi Buyi felt unhappy and he thought, I am the only servant to Master Zhong!
1230
1231Old Man Six Paths on the other hand, remained calm and he did not flinch at all.
1232
1233Meanwhile, the god leading the way was totally overwhelmed; he wanted to force Zhong Yue to be more humble, but in the end, not only did he end up suffering injuries, but he had lost face as well.
1234
1235Though his eyes were very strong, they are still slightly weaker when compared to the Yin and Yang Qi, which was the specialty of the Innate Sun and Moon Spirit Body! How could he not lose to Zhong Yue when he decided to contend against Zhong Yue's forte?
1236
1237However, this god managed to turn away quickly, and with that, he managed to save himself from even more embarrassment.
1238
1239"Humans, halt!"
1240
1241Suddenly, there came a thunderous voice from the skies, and when Zhong Yue looked at the direction, he saw two demon Heavenly Deities looking down at them with cold gazes.
1242
1243"Where is the Reverse Emperor, human!" One of the older heavenly demonic gods asked.
1244
1245Curious and intrigued, Zhong Yue asked, "And you are?"
1246
1247"We are the humble servants of our Master Reverse Emperor."
1248
1249"So, do you want to tell me his whereabouts? He is not someone you could meddle with?"
1250
1251To his question, Zhong Yue removed his waistcloth, exposing the head of Reverse Emperor that carried a ferocious expression and the Yuan Shen of Reverse Emperor was charging everywhere in his head in attempts to escape from Zhong Yue's seals.
1252
1253Fear consumed the Qi Practitioners in front of Emerald Heaven Starry Palace immediately; the Reverse Emperor had been beheaded, and his head was hung on his enemy's waist like a common item!
1254
1255The Qi Practitioners in the Prison Realm were all ferocious individuals under the climate of the law of the jungle.
1256
1257And the Reverse Emperor was one of the fiercest among all of them, but now, his head was hung on Zhong Yue's waist, claimed by Zhong Yue as one of his trophies. This made Zhong Yue even fiercer than the others right away!
1258
1259Such was the way of the Prison Realm; there were no good people in this place, only the evil or the more evil could win over the respect of the others; that was the way of survival.
1260
1261"Release our master and I shall let you live." The old heavenly god bargained.
1262
1263Zhong Yue was left speechless. He laughed and said, "He is still alive now all because of the other seniors present back then that begged for my mercy. Are you trying to force me into killing him now?"
1264
1265The expression on the face of the two heavenly demon changed slightly and they did not dare to act recklessly anymore.
1266
1267Suddenly, a lady's voice could be heard from Emerald Heaven Starry Palace saying, "Human, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated. You have crossed the line. Reverse Emperor was once a demonic emperor and how is he going to raise his head in front of the others anymore if you humiliate him like that?"
1268
1269Zhong Yue raised his head, looked at the direction of Emerald Heaven Starry Palace and said, "It was not I who humiliated him, I was merely forced to by his servants. Speaking of humiliation, I will be humiliated if I release him just because his servants demanded it."
1270
1271The lady then said again, "Humiliating you? Fine, if that's so, I will honor you by begging you to release him. What do you say, my friend?"
1272
1273Zhong Yue suddenly realized something and asked the demonic god that was leading the way, "The one talking to me now is?"
1274
1275"She is our beloved Emerald Heaven Dharma King." The demonic king answered curtly.
1276
1277Zhong Yue nodded and hurled the head of Reverse Emperor to the ground and said seriously, "Since the king has opened her mouth, I will release him. You are now free, Brother Reverse Emperor."
1278
1279Before his head fell onto the ground, Zhong Yue had already lifted the seals he created. With visible speed, flesh regrew back at the severed part of the head, and in no time, the Reverse Emperor had completely recovered his body. Such was the capabilities of the immortal body that even Zhong Yue had to admit that was superior to his own.
1280
1281After completely recovering, the Reverse Emperor put up a grave face and looked at Zhong Yue emotionlessly.
1282
1283The two heavenly demons of his, however, quickly stood by him on both sides, and after exchanging glances, they suddenly stepped forward and began advancing towards Zhong Yue.
1284
1285At this time, there came the voice of Emerald Heaven Dharma King again, "Reverse Emperor, your humble king has begged for you, now, could you please save me some face?"
1286
1287"Forgive me." Reverse Emperor said as he bowed.
1288
1289Emerald Heaven Dharma King laughed, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Realm Monarch had given us Left Fang Galaxy a total of ten slots for ten candidates to participate in the major event. One of the ten seats belongs to Reverse Emperor. If you could set aside your personal affairs for the time being until the event has ended and promise to represent us for the event, then please come into the courtyard for some discussion."
1290
1291Reverse Emperor nodded and without even looking at Zhong Yue, he entered the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace.
1292
1293Bai Canghai on the other hand, murmured, "Brother Zhong, this dharma king called herself your king to you but she referred herself as your humble king to Reverse Emperor. She really is unfair."
1294
1295Zhong Yue. however, was not bothered by this as he also entered the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace.
1296
1297After entering the courtyard, they saw countless individuals standing in the hall; at the outside were puny pawns, even if there were gods among these pawns, the gods often had little to no position; they were probably controlling one to two planets and some of them were even the mount or servants to some other higher ups.
1298
1299The gods in the courtyard, however, were conquerors of the three thousand solar galaxies in the entire Left Fang Galaxy; each and everyone of them had a very high position or they wouldn't be qualified to enter Emerald Heaven Starry Palace!
1300
1301Apart from them, what surprised Zhong Yue more was that Bi and An, Li Tianxing, Zhen Yao, Concubine Han and the others had their very own seats, which means that they too, had their own territories.
1302
1303Reverse Emperor of course, had his own seat as well and he sat there emotionlessly.
1304
1305Zhong Yue looked around and saw quite a few familiar faces; among them was the first demon god, Chan Dongyuan, who they ran into when they first arrived at this Six Path World.
1306
1307However, the expression on the face of Chan Dongyuan was not very friendly and aside from him, some among the individuals present here today did not look so good when they saw Zhong Yue as well.
1308
1309Back on the twin-stars, Zhong Yue's stunning attack had struck awe into all those who witnessed it; his attack had wiped out everyone except for Li Tianxing and a few more. All the casualties of that attack were the disciples and students of demonic gods present here. It was no wonder they didn't force any pretense of amiability to Zhong Yue.
1310
1311Zhong Yue then looked at the main seat where there sat an unusually elegant and dazzlingly brilliant lady with a majestic presence. She was dressed in a splendidly red dress and wore a golden flower belt on her waist and coloured ribbons floated at the back of her dress.
1312
1313Her face, however, was blurred by the divine rays around her and there were five light wheels at the back of her head; although there were just five of them, there were many gods that sat in the light wheels and prayed toward this lady.
1314
1315"Zhong Yue of the human race, it is my honor to be summoned by you, my king." Zhong Yue greeted as he bowed.
1316
1317Following up next were Jun Sixie, Bai Canghai and Qiu Jin'er as they greeted this lady and introduced themselves.
1318
1319This lady was the Emerald Heaven Dharma King; she nodded and said, "Raise your head, Zhong Yue. Let me see your face, I want to see the person that killed my beloved son."
1320
1321Jun Sixie, Qiu Jin'er and the others' hearts tightened up immediately upon her words but Zhong Yue boldly shown his face and said, "Please have a careful look, my king."
1322
1323Emerald Heaven Dharma King looked at him from head to toe and although she was a female, she had the presence far greater than a man and the atmosphere in Emerald Heaven Starry Palace tensed up; it was just like the calm before the catastrophic storm!
1324
1325Zhong Yue remained calm and without flinching, he allowed her to stare into his eyes.
1326
1327After a few moments, the king looked away, sighed and praised, "What a formidable young man."
1328
1329In the courtyard, the many gods present were confused and they did not hide their confusion.
1330
1331"You killed my prince yet you had me restrain myself from killing you. I never thought someone like you would appear in the puny human race. Your name is now known in the other galaxies and even the Realm Monarch has heard of it. As such, if I move against you, I will definitely be punished by the monarch. Such calculations… you are indeed quite amazing."
1332
1333Suddenly, her tone became ferocious and she said, "But your origin is very suspicious! And this suspicion extends to those standing beside you now!"
1334
1335Immense killing intent rose around her and she continued, "The living beings of our Prison Realm are all controlled by the book of life and death, which greatly reduced the number of Innate Spirit Bodies being born into this realm, let alone four at once! I suppose that if I killed someone from other Six Path Worlds, the monarch will have no complaints."
1336
1337She landed her vision firmly on Zhong Yue and if Zhong Yue flinched even for the slightest bit, he will be met with one of the boldest and swiftest strikes that will put him down right here on the spot to avenge the death of her heir!
1338
1339Zhong Yue, however, did not move and only said, "We came from the Cold Spirit Planet, my king. If you do not believe me, you are always welcome to check."
1340
1341Immediately, Emerald Heaven Dharma King clapped her hands, summoned a servant demonic god and ordered, "Go, check the Scroll of Stars and see if there really is such a star called Cold Spirit Planet."
1342
1343The servant nodded and left before he returned quickly to report, "My king, there really is such a planet. There are quite a handy native living beings there but due to the extremely isolated location, there were barely any Qi Practitioners there."
1344
1345Surprised and caught off guard by the news, Emerald Heaven Dharma King said, "Is that so? Go, investigate that star to find out any records of them! If they once lived there, they will surely leave behind some trails."
1346
1347"Yes, my king," said the servant before leaving again.
1348
1349With a clap, the lady summoned another servant and ordered, "Go, bring my token and some other precious items and head into Hell. Check the book and see if you can find their names on the book."
1350
1351Zhong Yue remained calm still and he thought, Though I have altered the book, this Emerald Heaven Dharma King will still be able to expose me if she checks where I stayed in the Prison Realm, but in this period of time, Bi and An did not waste any chances too. They sought help from Granny Shan to search for an isolated planet, brought in some living beings from Bi An Precipe and created statues and temples of the lion and Old Man Six Paths. With that, if that servant goes to investigate that planet, they won't find any evidence disproving my lies.
1352
1353With the enormous strategical power of the Bi An brothers, it was extremely easy for them to fabricate a fake history for Zhong Yue and his companions.
1354
1355Not long later, the servant headed towards Hell returned and reported, "My king, I've checked the book and they are indeed the people of our Prison Realm. I've made a copy of the book, please take a look at it."
1356
1357Emerald Heaven Dharma King took the book with the details and lies created by Zhong Yue written; it read that even Zhong Yue would ascend into a god in the future, he would die very young as his enemies sought revenge over him and after being reborn, a wretched and miserable fate would await him.
1358
1359She smiled upon seeing this and when she looked at the readings of Jun Sixie and the others, she realized their fate was similar to Zhong Yue's as well.
1360
1361She felt even more relieved when she looked at Bai Canghai's. His fate was also altered by Zhong Yue; although he would live a slightly better life than Zhong Yue and the others, he too, would not be able to achieve much.
1362
1363After that, she ignited the copy made by the servant and said happily to Zhong Yue and the others, "Surprisingly, your fates are marvelous in the future. Since you are the people of our realm, I guarantee that I will not make any moves against you."
1364
1365Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue and the others let out sighs of relief.
1366
1367Chapter 647: Don’t Worry
1368
1369
1370
1371After burning the copy away, Emerald Heaven Dharma King thought, Whenever Qi Practitioners got to know their fate, they would often try to change it. Although the majority of them end up badly, some still succeed. A few of them once changed their fate, which resulted in catastrophic events. But there were also some that achieved something no one could ever dream off. One among them is now sitting at a position so high up that I can't even chase after his tail. I must not let these few brats see the contents in the copy lest history repeats itself.
1372
1373Attempts to change one's own fate did not only happen in the Prison Realm but in the other realms too.
1374
1375And among those who changed their fate, there was this one from the Prison Realm that caused the most upheaval; after cultivating into a god, he bribed the judges in Hell so that he could take a look at his fate in the Book of Life and Death. He then came to learn of his rather unfortunate fate — that he would die a sudden death.
1376
1377However, this god was very amazing too. He kept this in his mind, always reminding himself of his terrible fate, and because of that, he was very cautious.This allowed him to escape from one event that could have potentially killed him. As time passed and as he continued to elude death, he had risen to an unfathomable level.
1378
1379Soon, the Hell Emperor noticed this, and along with his eighteen judges and the Soul Reaping Bell, they went after this god.
1380
1381As they battled, the heavens trembled and the earth shattered; that god heavily injured the Hell Emperor, captured the eighteen judges. This god's fame continue to snowball, and eventually, under the lead of the four great Heaven generals, armadas from Heaven were sent to bring him in. But they too were defeated and captured by this god.
1382
1383In the end, the furious Realm Monarch ordered the Six Path World's six great Realm Lords to seize him and only with that was this god defeated.
1384
1385After his defeat, just when he was going to meet his end just like his fate dictated, orders from the Realm Monarch came; the monarch wanted to recruit this god into Heaven and allowed him to leave the Prison Realm. As such, this god survived once again, and after joining Heaven's forces, his position was only lower than the monarch's himself.
1386
1387Years later, when the Realm Monarch stepped down due to age, he passed his seat to this god.
1388
1389Thus, this god ascended as the new Realm Monarch, and his name was Wei Shen.
1390
1391As someone who had lived for such a long time, of course Emerald Heaven Dharma King had heard of the legendary story of this Realm Monarch, which resulted her in being very unwilling to let Zhong Yue and the others know about their miserable fates. She surreptitiously glanced at the servant that followed her order into Hell to check the book and she figured, I'm sorry but I had to put you down. I must not let anyone other than me to know about this.
1392
1393She had secretly sentenced this servant to death, but her face still had the same smile as if nothing had changed.
1394
1395On the other side, Zhong Yue and his companions felt even more relaxed upon seeing the copy burnt into ashes; now, all that was left was awaiting for the return of the servant that went to investigate in Cold Spirit Star.
1396
1397And if she no longer suspected them, then things would be even easier at the side of the Realm Monarch.
1398
1399The monarch would definitely dwell into the origin and identities of Zhong Yue and his friends; he would only go into this when he suspected something but of course, if Emerald Heaven Dharma King said that there were no problems about them, then the monarch would definitely not waste his time on such petty matters.
1400
1401"The major competition will be held at the Empty Prison Heavenly Planet of our Prison Realm in a month time."
1402
1403No longer paying anymore attention to Zhong Yue, Emerald Heaven Dharma King looked around and said gradually, "The Empty Prison Heavenly Planet is the sacred ground where the Realm Lord of Prison Realm lived. Upon reaching there, you will be met with the most outstanding young Qi Practitioners from different galaxies of the Prison Realm. At that time, whether or not we Left Fang Galaxy will be able to outperform everyone and represent the Prion Realm to duel with the other five realms will depend on everyone present here. Now, anymore questions?"
1404
1405With a shook, Li Tianxing and the others expressed that they had no more questions.
1406
1407Suddenly, Bai Canghai said hurriedly, "Can I not take part in this battle?"
1408
1409Emerald Heaven Dharma King glanced at him and suddenly, she felt disgusted and she rejected, "No, talented individuals like you have to take part. My little friend, the Realm Lord gave us ten slots and if I only brought nine, I'd be shaming our Realm Lord. No matter how unwilling you are, you still have to participate!"
1410
1411Quietly, Bai Canghai was deeply troubled; though his cultivation level had experienced quite a leap during this short period of time, he was still far weaker than the likes of Zhong Yue and the others; he would be killed easily if he took part in the battle.
1412
1413And no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Emerald Heaven Dharma King was asking him to voluntarily die.
1414
1415He thought, Brother Zhong could lead us and triumph over the battle in Left Fang Galaxy but he probably can't lead us out of the major competition. I might lose my life there!
1416
1417Emerald Heaven Dharma King continued saying with a smilingly, "Don't worry, I took a look at your fate written in the book just now. It says that your fate is extremely good and you wouldn't die for sure."
1418
1419"If that book is so good, then your son wouldn't have been killed by Brother Zhong." Bai Canghai murmured softly.
1420
1421The face of Emerald Heaven Dharma King darkened immediately and it took quite an effort to restrain herself from killing this little brat but she thought, This brat has always been like that, if I kill him, people who think of me as petty and narrow-minded.
1422
1423However, whatever Bai Canghai said was true; the book might be able to decide one's fate, but there are also some incapabilities in the book. For example, an unexpected accident could easily affect the fate decided by the book.
1424
1425Initially, Prince Shi Yun would not die an unexpected death according to the book but because of Zhong Yue's arrival — something that was not recorded in the book — he was cut down by Zhong Yue in one strike.
1426
1427And this was something the book did not include.
1428
1429Apart from that, the saying of a disaster in one's life was not very clear as well; if it was written that an unfortunate event would descend upon someone someday, there would be two possibilities in the end, that person might survive or they might die. There was no fixed outcome.
1430
1431Thus, one should not be too worried after getting to know his fate written on the book because there would still be changes.
1432
1433Suddenly, a demon god pointed at Zhong Yue and said coldly, "My king, if this human failed to fight into the top ten, can I kill him?"
1434
1435With a smile, Emerald Heaven Dharma King asked, "Why so?"
1436
1437"He killed my beloved student! With the protection of the Realm Lord, I can't even harm a single strand of his hair."
1438
1439The demon god then continued, "But if he fails, then he will no longer be protected by the Realm Lord and by then, can I kill him to avenge my student?"
1440
1441Another demon god stood up and said angrily, "My dearest son was killed by him, I must have my revenge!:
1442
1443"My wife!"
1444
1445"My grandchild!"
1446
1447"My daughter!"
1448
1449One after another demon gods stood up, voiced out their anger and they looked at Zhong Yue in a way that as if they wanted to kill him on the spot.
1450
1451Zhong Yue however, did not even flinch and he remained calm as he looked at everyone.
1452
1453Emerald Heaven Dharma King looked around as well and with a smile, she said, "Excuse me for rejecting your requests."
1454
1455The many demon gods stuttered and before they made noise again, Emerald Heaven Dharma King sighed and said, "My son was also killed by him, how can I let you taste your revenge first before me? I guarantee everyone here that if he fails and is still alive, I will let everyone exact their vengeance after me."
1456
1457She said, "With my capabilities, I can revive him after he is dead. Hence, I promise that all of you will get satisfaction!"
1458
1459The way she spoke was filled with hatred and anger, a testament to just how much she despised Zhong Yue.
1460
1461To her dismay, Zhong Yue replied, "Don't worry, my king. You won't have the chance."
1462
1463Upon hearing this, Emerald Heaven Dharma King smirked and thought, You won't be so confident if you saw your fate in the book!
1464
1465Emerald Heaven Dharma King after all, did not know that Zhong Yue had singlehandedly altered the Book of Life and Death, and if she had knew about this, she definitely wouldn't have the same confidence.
1466
1467After a few more days, when the demon god servant headed to Cold Spirit Planet returned and confirmed the identity of Zhong Yue and the others, Emerald Heaven Dharma King announced the time of departure, and they all headed straight to Empty Prison Heavenly Planet.
1468
1469They all traveled on a luxurious ship pulled by eight dragons; they sailed across space, passing various teleportation arrays as they get everso closer to Empty Prison Heavenly Planet.
1470
1471After about twenty days, they could finally see Empty Prison Heavenly Planet from far away.
1472
1473Zhong Yue stood at the deck of the ship, looked at the Empty Prison Heavenly Planet and realized that it was located at the centre of the Prison Realm Galaxy. Empty Prison Heavenly Planet was surrounded by massive black holes and at the outer rim of the black holes were bright divine rays that shone brighter than the sun. While the black holes devoured stars one after another in the galaxy, this star remained untouched, as if protected by some kind of power.
1474
1475Although it was called Heavenly Planet, the Empty Prison Heavenly Planet did not look like one. Instead, it looked like a massive star that floated in the centre of the galaxy and it looked really ancient.
1476
1477This huge star was much bigger than ordinary stars; it was so huge that even the sun had to circle around it, and there were more than just a sun and a moon that orbited around it.
1478
1479But whatever went against the natural law could always be explained by the power of gods.
1480
1481As time passed, they arrived at the Empty Prison Heavenly Planet, and when it sailed into this star, Zhong Yue was shocked at what he saw. There were mountain gods protecting the mountains, river gods living in the rivers, and every other place had their respective gods living in them!
1482
1483There were so many gods living here; the number was far beyond their expectation!
1484
1485But it was actually pretty normal. This is the place where the ruler of the Prison Realm lived. The gods from other galaxies in the Prison Realm strived to be able to live here, and they viewed this as an honor, thus, making the high number of gods residing here quite understandable.
1486
1487Other than that, Zhong Yue noticed that most of the gods here came from the celestial and demon race; most of the gods were from the demon races with very pure bloodlines, and with so many living creatures here, there would of course be a huge number of gods.
1488
1489This Six Path World was the weakest among the three thousand Six Path Worlds and even so, they had such terrifying power.
1490
1491Zhong Yue sighed at the fact that it was already extremely difficult for the Fuxi Celestial Race to rise again.
1492
1493The ship then sailed into a place filled with marvelous and heavily guarded in Empty Prison Heavenly Planet and into a courtyard.
1494
1495This courtyard was the place where the Realm Lord handled the affairs of his ruling.
1496
1497Far away, there were also many ships that emitted crazily strong aura sailing towards the same courtyard.
1498
1499On these ships stood the most talented Qi Practitioners from the different galaxies within the Prison Realm.
1500
1501Jun Sixie who stood at the side of Zhong Yue stared at these ships and she couldn't help but to murmur, "Finally, I can compete with the strongest Qi Practitioners in the Prison Realm. I wonder what kind of talented Qi Practitioners I will run into."
1502
1503"Don't worry."
1504
1505Zhong Yue included all of these ships in his vision and he said calmly, "I will hack them all to death."
1506
1507Chapter 648: Ancient Land of the Gods Grave
1508
1509
1510
1511At the side of the ship, Bai Canghai couldn't sit still and began pacing. Just like most men, when he saw the alluring Concubine Han who was leaning against the rail, looking extremely lonely and vulnerable, he approached her and started talking to her.
1512
1513Beside Concubine Han were two members from the Heavenly Horse Celestial Race, but they acted like that they did not see that little brat disturbing Concubine Han at all.
1514
1515"They said there are no good people in Prison Realm but I believe you are not as bad as they say." Bai Canghai said suddenly.
1516
1517Concubine Han who did not talk at all seemed like she was deeply moved by Bai Canghai's words. She suddenly turned around and looked into Bai Canghai's eyes with her eyes that seemed to be able to look into one's soul.
1518
1519As soon as their eyes met, Bai Canghai felt incredibly moved. He even ventured to guess that her eyes were even stronger than Zhong Yue's.
1520
1521"Really?" The lady asked, her voice seemed to tremble, and this caused Bai Canghai's heart to undergo turmoil.
1522
1523"Of course!" Bai Canghai shouted.
1524
1525He then said loudly, "They said you are evil, said that you have committed crimes beyond redemption, and that you are the most sinister woman, which was why you were banished by the Realm Monarch! But I know that you have been framed! How could an innocent and pure lady like you win against those merciless and vicious women in the palace! Don't worry, I will protect you with my life in this competition!"
1526
1527Seemingly struck by his words, Concubine Han murmured softly, "Thank you…."
1528
1529Touched and deeply affected by her, Bai Canghai wanted to say something more, but this was when Zhong Yue interrupted, "Brother Bai, we have arrived, we need to get down now."
1530
1531Unwilling to leave her, Bai Canghai turned around and looked longingly back at the lady as he walked away.
1532
1533"How did you start talking with Concubine Han?" asked Zhong Yue softly as he frowned.
1534
1535"She's not a bad person, she's innocent!" replied Bai Canghai.
1536
1537"I felt that she is someone very unique and this might be love at first sight…."
1538
1539"Love at first sight?"
1540
1541Zhong Yue had a weird expression and said, "She's the concubine of the Realm Monarch, I'd advise you not to have anything to do with her. You'd be dead for sure if you entangle yourself with her."
1542
1543Upon hearing Zhong Yue's cold words, Bai Canghai laughed sarcastically and argued back, "I never thought you were someone so stupid, Brother Zhong. Our love is true! Whatever race or position we have does not matter when it comes to true love!"
1544
1545Zhong Yue was left speechless and he said, "It's not that easy, and you've failed to see the demon inside Concubine Han. She is not as good as you think. Did you know why she was banished? You actually deemed her innocent after having only such a short conversation?"
1546
1547The persistent Bai Canghai continued to fight for Concubine Han's honor and he said, "The Realm Monarch has so many wives and how could someone like her manage to beat the other old hags? She was definitely framed by them!"
1548
1549Zhong Yue burst out laughing and he said, "Who do you think the Realm Monarch is? He is the one that rules the entire Six Path World and the strongest existence in this world. What kind of woman can actually cause so much harm just to benefit herself under the eyes of Realm Monarch? I once heard from a few gods talking about the sin committed by Concubine Han and did you know what she did? She killed the son of Realm Monarch with poison and so, she was banished into Prison Realm."
1550
1551He then added, "They said that that murdered son was the unborn son of Concubine Luo and the Realm Monarch. As one of Concubine Han's major rivals, the child was murdered before he could even open his eyes to see the world. After the matter was found out, the Realm Monarch didn't kill her because he appreciated the time he spent with her, thus, he only banished her. As such, she is not as simple as you thought."
1552
1553Dumbfounded by the news, Bai Canghai was stunned for a moment and at the same time, Concubine Han's voice was heard speaking gently, "Human, why did you spoil my plans? I just wanted to play with him, are you not afraid of my power?"
1554
1555Immediately, Bai Canghai shivered and Zhong Yue replied, "I have never killed a concubine of a Realm Monarch… If you infuriate me, I really wouldn't mind to kill you."
1556
1557Concubine Han looked at Zhong Yue for a while and smiled, but she thought with a heavy heart, This is an ruthless man!
1558
1559Dong—-
1560
1561The ship touched the ground, causing a slight tremble on the ground. After it stopped completely, Emerald Heaven Dharma KIng said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me to see the Realm Lord of the Prison Realm."
1562
1563Everyone then got down the ship and they noticed that the place where the ship landed was an area made up of entirely spiritual energy condensed into liquid. It was located at the center of the courtyard and looked just like a lake in the courtyard. There were countless ships that landed here while countless participants were alighting to the ground.
1564
1565Floating on the water were gigantic jade-colored dragons; they exposed their back out of the water, forming white jade bridges that allowed everyone to cross the water before sinking back into the water again.
1566
1567Stunning, thought Zhong Yue.
1568
1569And Xin Huo had been keeping quiet all the while as he fused with the sunfire in Zhong Yue's body. There were countless strong Qi Practitioners in this place and if Xin Huo did not hide himself, these Qi Practitioners might be able to notice that there is a strange flame hiding inside Zhong Yue's body.
1570
1571When he got to the Prison Realm, Xin Huo was very curious of everything; back in his days, there were no Six Path Worlds, no Six Path Reincarnation and not even Hell, not to mention the Book of Life and Death.
1572
1573During his slumber, the world had changed so drastically that this little flame almost couldn't recognize anything anymore. Thus, he had been absorbing these sudden changes and recently, he rarely show himself to guide Zhong Yue nor did he keep trying to convince Zhong Yue to impregnate ladies. Zhong Yue even began to miss the days where Xin Huo was still being obnoxious.
1574
1575There were so many participants and when Zhong Yue looked around, he realized that each and everyone of them looked very powerful; none of them were any weaker than the Reverse Emperor and the other prodigies of the Left Fang Galaxy!
1576
1577In the Left Fang Galaxy, the Reverse Emperor, Li Tianxing, Bi and An and the others... they were all strong individuals that were on par with Zhong Yue!
1578
1579But now, there were so many of them right here!
1580
1581Just thinking off this was already horrifying!
1582
1583And this is only the weakest among the other Six Path Worlds and the weakest realm of the weakest Six Path World!
1584
1585What was even more scary was that in the other 2998 Six Path Worlds, there are six realms in each of them, and there are bound to be even more strong Qi Practitioners like them!
1586
1587The competition there would be even fiercer!
1588
1589Compared to them, the Ancestral Star and Kun Lun were basically some rural village!
1590
1591By now, Zhong Yue could feel the weight on his shoulders get increasingly heavy, and the stress of Jun Sixie, Qiu Jin'er and the others were even stronger. Their strength was still not on the same level as Zhong Yue's and in this battle, they risked death!
1592
1593Whereas for Bai Canghai, he had already given up completely and no longer paid attention to how things are progressing now.
1594
1595As various thoughts ran wildly through Zhong Yue's mind, everyone gradually entered the courtyard.
1596
1597On top of the courtyard was a huge platform floating in the air, and on top of this platform were countless altars. These altars illuminated brightly and ]acted as the seats for the gods.
1598
1599Right under the platform was a huge plaza and the countless Qi Practitioners gathered at the plaza.
1600
1601Suddenly, the dharma king of the different galaxies ascended into the sky and landed on their respective seats and as they sat, they created unique supernatural phenomena.
1602
1603"The Realm Lord has arrived!"
1604
1605Golden armored giants beat the drums as an officer shouted while a burly man showed up being surrounded by many officers. He sat on the throne at the centre of the platform.
1606
1607As this burly man sat down, a godly aura spread across the surroundings, the heaven and earth shook and the dimension twisted.
1608
1609All in a sudden, when the Qi Practitioners at the plaza looked at this man, they felt that they were so puny and there were six light wheels that emitted powerful auras behind his head.
1610
1611And those dharma kings, godly officers and generals were also so strong to an extent some could only dream of but in front of this burly man, they too appeared to be very tiny.
1612
1613From small to big, these dharma kings, officers, and generals appeared in different sizes; those with higher cultivation level were bigger and those with lower cultivation level were at least a few hundred feet tall.
1614
1615This burly man sitting at the throne in the centre was the current Prison Realm's Realm Lord, one of the six Realm Lords in this Six Path World!
1616
1617After he sat on his throne, the Realm Lord announced, "Heavenly King Shang will be here shortly to join us, please hold for a moment."
1618
1619As he made his announcement, music sounded from the skies and when Zhong Yue looked above, the skies split apart and heavenly generals carrying various divine weapons descended.
1620
1621At first look, they appeared to be small but as they gotten closer, they too, appeared to be incredibly huge in size.
1622
1623These newly arrived heavenly generals emitted outstanding and marvelous aura, each had six light wheels behind their head and they scattered and shouted, "Hail my lord!"
1624
1625Hong long—-
1626
1627The courtyard everyone gathered in trembled and a gigantic shadow squeezed out from a cracked dimension. It was a huge altar that was far larger than the altars of the other kings.
1628
1629Then, this altar flew towards the Realm Lord and it stopped right beside the altar of the Realm Lord.
1630
1631Suddenly, light came out from nowhere and the divine light lit up the skies before they landed on that new altar.
1632
1633After the light dispersed, a god with a small pagoda in his hand appeared on the altar.
1634
1635"Heavenly King Shang." The Realm Lord greeted.
1636
1637The newly arrived god nodded back and greeted back, "Realm Lord."
1638
1639Seeing this, the officer under the command of Realm Lord seeked his permission before he announced, "Heavenly King Shang is here. Let us begin!"
1640
1641The officer's voice spread across the courtyard, "There are 78,023 participants this time. Among you are 920 True Spirit level Qi Practitioners and 77,103 Imminent Deity level Qi Practitioners. In this battle, the top ten will be selected as candidates to represent the Prison Realm."
1642
1643"This battle will take place in the ancient forbidden land in the Prison Realm, the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave. Now, the rules!"
1644
1645"Rule number one, each participant has their own respective star token. With every kill, a star will be added into your token, and at the end of the battle, those with the most stars will be the winner."
1646
1647"Rule number two, all participants are allowed to use any means and ways to survive in Ancient Land of the Gods Grave for a month. Once the time is up, you will all be guided out from the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave."
1648
1649"Rule number three, there will only be ten winners and after the ten winners are decided, then it will be every man for themselves for the rest."
1650
1651Right away, the place erupted in an uproar; the Qi Practitioners in the plaza immediately began fervid discussion with one another, asking about the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave. Though they were also the people of Prison Realm, most of them knew nothing about this Ancient Land of the Gods Grave!
1652
1653"Rumours said that this is a remnant land from the Earth Order Era," said Bin suddenly, "They said it's a place built to conduct experiments by the ruler of that era."
1654
1655"What kind of experiments?" asked Zhen Yao immediately.
1656
1657After exchanging glances, Bi and An suddenly said, "A place to experiment on the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
1658
1659Chapter 649: Tian Shi, Tian Ting
1660
1661
1662
1663"An experimental field for the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
1664
1665The hearts of the Qi Practitioners from the Left Fang Galaxy thumped and Zhong Yue was even more shocked; the news that this place originated from the Earth Order Era deeply shook him!
1666
1667The news was so groundshaking that even Xin Huo who was slumbering in Zhong Yue's sunfire couldn't help but listen to whatever Bi and An had to say with rapture.
1668
1669However, Xin Huo was still fused with the sunfire to prevent himself from being found out.
1670
1671"Xin Huo, did the Six Paths Reincarnation appear before you fell into your slumber?" Zhong Yue asked.
1672
1673"No," replied Xin Huo without hesitation, "This probably happened after I went into slumber. The appearance of the Six Paths Reincarnation is definitely related to the downfall of the Fuxi Celestial Race! The question is, who created the Six Paths Reincarnation? Is he one of the Fuxi or the other sovereign races? The soul-oriented skills probably appeared during that time too. We must take a look at this experimental field… Shit!"
1674
1675In a blink of an eye, Xin Huo became completely silent.
1676
1677At the same time, Zhong Yue felt a wave of energy sweep across the plaza; the energy was abnormally strong, and after scanning across the plaza, it vanished as if it were never there!
1678
1679Beside the throne of the Realm Lord, the Heavenly King Shang asked one of his subordinates, "Tian Ting, what is this rudeness about?"
1680
1681The person that swiped across the plaza with his energy was a general called Tian Ting, the latter bowed and apologized, "Apologies my lord, I heard something unusual, it felt like something had hidden itself within the Qi Practitioners, and so I scanned the plaza in search of it."
1682
1683"I see." Heavenly King Shang turned to the Realm Lord and said, "Realm Lord, my subordinate picked up a minor abnormality. Please forgive him for his rudeness. However, I think that there will be no waves without wind so I suppose that it'd fine if they checked around?"
1684
1685"No worries, please go ahead."
1686
1687The Realm Lord replied, "It is also part of your duty, Heavenly King Shang. If you feel the need for an inspection, please proceed freely so long you find out the hidden dangers around here."
1688
1689"Excuse me." Heavenly King Shang said, and he pointed at another general, "Tian Shi, have a look."
1690
1691"Yes, my lord."
1692
1693That general called Tian Shi and nodded. A huge eye ball appeared at the top of his back before he looked at the direction where Zhong Yue stood!
1694
1695"Tian Jue, check for any unusual movements, I suppose any abnormalities will not escape your senses easily." Heavenly King Shang ordered to another female general."
1696
1697The female general nodded and closed her eyes. Her psyche engulfed the entire plaza, inspecting the movements of the Qi Practitioners as she covered the surroundings like a net.
1698
1699"Tian Ming, dive into their life force and check if there is something hidden in it, if there really is something, it will affect the life force of the host and you will find that hidden thing in no time." Heavenly King Shang ordered to another female general again.
1700
1701With a nod, Tian Ming executed the orders of Heavenly King Shang.
1702
1703Countless hands emerged from Tian Ming's back, stretching out the fingers while millions of invisible threads flew around, forming a net that shrouded the plaza as Tian Ming started executing her orders.
1704
1705"Tian Hun, check their souls," Heavenly King Shang continued ordering his generals.
1706
1707"Tian Gan, pay attention to the heaven and earth's movements."
1708
1709The eight generals of Heavenly King Shang all performed their duties verbatim. After a few moments, they all ceased casting their skills and Tian Shi reported, "My lord, there is indeed something abnormal happening in the plaza. But it is lifeless, breathless, senseless, mute, with no soul, and cannot be seen."
1710
1711The 'abnormal' Tian Shi was referring to was of course Xin Huo. Even though they failed to detect him, they still managed to perceive some remnants of his existence.
1712
1713Heavenly King Shang frowned and murmured in surprise, "Hmmm… strange… Why would there be such things in the Prison Realm?"
1714
1715"Should we check again?" asked Tian Shi.
1716
1717"No…" answered Heavenly King Shang, "If you couldn't find it just now, you won't be able to find it out even if you tried another time. Judging from what you said, this thing might be something without life, probably some kind of relic from the ancient ruins, just let it be."
1718
1719Then, the Realm Lord turned around and asked, "Heavenly King Shang, is everything alright?"
1720
1721Heavenly King Shang then explained what happened to the Realm Lord, and the Realm Lord said, "Then it's a dead object? Seems like you are overthinking, Heavenly King Shang."
1722
1723"I'm afraid so." Heavenly King Shang laughed and said, "But it is probably some unique item."
1724
1725"A unique item of our Prison Realm." added the Realm Lord.
1726
1727The two gods then smiled at each other, exchanging glance before looking elsewhere.
1728
1729The Realm Lord then thought, No wonder he was willing to create such a fuss… Being able to attract Heavenly King Shang, such a treasure must be exceptionally interesting… But it belongs to the Prison Realm. So how dare you try to lay your fingers on it? This treasure belongs to one of them down there in the plaza and it will definitely be used once it's host enters the Ancient Land of the God Graves. It's fine if it's just some ordinary item but if it really is an ancient relic, then I must get it for myself.
1730
1731On the other hand, Zhong Yue let out a long breath; when the eight generals tried to dig out Xin Huo, his body, soul, Yuan Shen and other aspects were searched thoroughly by them and he even felt that one of these generals was trying to calculate his fate!
1732
1733Whether it be any race, each and every living creature have their own life and fate decided at the moment of their birth. But all of this can be altered as they come across with new things, new people and new knowledge.
1734
1735For example, if Zhong Yue hadn't run into Xin Huo, his fate would have remained as that of a mediocre Qi Practitioner. He would live a rather dull life of cultivation before dying and returning to dust. But now, his life had changed drastically after crossing paths with Xin Huo. The miraculous feats that Zhong Yue had performed back in the Ancestral Star would have definitely raised some suspicions, given his background.
1736
1737But fortunately for Zhong Yue, he was an outside to this Six Paths World, thus, making everything about him to be untraceable.
1738
1739Thank god Xin Huo is good at hiding or else….
1740
1741He sighed again, These guys were already alerted when Xin Huo merely showed himself for just a brief moment…. Seems like I musn't let him out or we will be in hot water!
1742
1743There were just too many people with strange yet unique abilities and with the special traits, these eight generals almost managed to dig out Xin Huo!
1744
1745Although Zhong Yue himself was pretty good at divination, he barely had any experience in divining one's fate; if that Tian Ming divined his fate, Zhong Yue would have been caught if he tried to repel her divination with his own.
1746
1747And he was lucky enough that this goddess Tian Ming did not find out that he was from the first Six Paths World or things would have taken a sour turn.
1748
1749Every race has their own advantages, I mustn't underestimate them! Zhong Yue carved this warning into his heart.
1750
1751Whether that ruler that conducted the experiment was a Fuxi or not, Zhong Yue did not know. There were eight great sovereign races back in that era, and the Fuxi were just one of them. Among the kings and rulers of the universe back in the ancient days, there were also people from the other races, but Fuxi Celestial Race had the highest number of rulers.
1752
1753Thus, this relic might have belonged to a ruler from the Fuxi Celestial Race or the other races.
1754
1755"All we know about the Ancient Land of the God Graves is purely from hearsay."
1756
1757After noticing what the eight generals were doing, Bi kept quiet and the generals stopped, he continued explaining with a serious expression, "This place is shrouded in mysteries with countless dangers lurking within. Rumours said that the ruler of the Earth Order Era created the Six Paths Reincarnation and completed the art of soul and Dao of soul before he started his research. It was also said that this place was just one of his many experimental fields out there."
1758
1759An then added, "Among the living beings in the Six Paths World, including the Realm Lords and Monarchs, no one has ever seen how the ancient rulers created the Six Paths World. Everyone born into the Six Paths Worlds know nothing about how their worlds formed and lack deep understanding on the art of soul. This means that if we managed to uncover the secrets hidden within these ancient remains, there is a high possibility that we will benefit greatly. But places like the Ancient Land of the God Graves are extremely dangerous and not many managed to walk out alive."
1760
1761"Besides, the Ancient Land of the God Graves had become a forbidden land because of the terrifying energy field that suppresses the power of those who enter."
1762
1763Bi continued softly, "The higher your cultivation, the stronger the suppression. Upon entering this place, those gods might be suppressed to a level weaker than ordinary Qi Practitioners, which results in a very high death rate. If someone on the same level as the Realm Lord has their strength reduced to somewhere around our level. Heh, there were cases where Realm Lords lost their lives here. The reason why they chose this arena was most likely no so simple as deciding on the ten victors."
1764
1765Everyone's heart pumped quicker upon hearing this and Reverse Emperor said coldly, "The Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang are planning to explore the Ancient Land of the God Graves through our hands. Instead of losing something, they will only profit even if we die."
1766
1767Bi and An nodded and said again, "Besides, they said there is this secret called the blood ritual. If a certain amount of people lose their lives here, an emperor level existence could possibly gain a chance to enter this place without suppression. Our assumptions are that the Realm Lord is trying to achieve this. Anyhow, we are still being exploited and used by them?"
1768
1769Meanwhile on the platform, the officer that made the announcement waved his hand and countless tokens flew into the hands of the many Qi Practitioners.
1770
1771Everyone then branded the tokens, and names started to appear on them. Apart from that, an eye also formed on the token, giving it a very sinister look.
1772
1773Zhong Yue examined the token carefully; the material used in making the token was very unique and strange; after branding the token, he could feel that some kind of bond between him and the token was formed.
1774
1775Other than that, he even felt that the eye on the token contained some kind of teleportation array that can be used to pinpoint his location.
1776
1777What a strange eye.
1778
1779Zhong Yue looked at the weird eye on the token while the eye looked back at him; he poked the eye and the eye closed up because of the pain as it started tearing up.
1780
1781"Human, have you not seen such items in your life?"
1782
1783When he noticed this scene, Reverse Emperor said coldly, "This eye is the eye of a soul beast. Once the soul beasts grow into a certain stage, we will harvest their eyes, carve various totem carvings onto them before fusing them into these tokens."
1784
1785Right away, Jun Sixie and the others felt a chill rush down their spines; with so many Qi Practitioners here, just how many soul beasts had to be killed to harvest their eyes? God knew how many of these beasts were killed every time there was a competition like this one.
1786
1787"Thanks for telling me. By the way, we all come from the Left Fang Galaxy, and I think we should team up. Anyone in?" Zhong Yue proposed.
1788
1789However, he received a cold shoulder from everyone.
1790
1791"No," Li Tianxing replied without hesitation.
1792
1793Concubine Han on the other hand said with a disgusted tone, "There are strong ones like us in the other galaxies, and I will have a higher chance of winning when more of the Left Fang Galaxy's participants are killed."
1794
1795"We brothers don't need help." Bi and An said at the same time after exchanging a glance.
1796
1797Zhen Yao put up a cold face and said, "I do not want to bring along burdens with me. I can team up with you but the three of them beside you have to get out of my way."
1798
1799Zhong Yue frowned upon this and when he looked at Reverse Emperor, the latter laughed and rejected, "I am very determined to kill you. The humiliation you gave me can only be washed away with your blood!"
1800
1801Zhong Yue sighed and said with a bored tone, "To be honest, we came from the same place and I really don't want to kill you guys. You better pray that you won't run into me or else!"
1802
1803Immediately, the others looked at him with scorn, and Zhong Yue burst out laughing.
1804
1805Suddenly, the courtyard trembled as it flew towards a huge black hole after the gods on duties lifted up their hand, released powerful energy that lifted this entire courtyard into the air.
1806
1807And outside of the black hole was bright light that shined brighter than the sun.
1808
1809Chapter 650: Outbreak
1810
1811
1812
1813As they flew closer to the black hole, the tidal force became stronger and suddenly, the power of those demon gods in the courtyard gushed towards the black hole uncontrollably.
1814
1815"Hah! Halt! Stop!" The demon gods shouted as they tried to halt the movements of that black hole while the courtyard flew into it.
1816
1817Darkness engulfed the surroundings, but the divine ray illuminated by the courtyard remained steady, shining brightly and chasing away the darkness.
1818
1819Zhong Yue was amazed but shocked at the same time; the power displayed by these demon gods had managed to freeze a black hole!
1820
1821What shook him the most was that the Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang did not even do anything!
1822
1823No one knew how strong these two were, and there were not even a single clue about their power but their power was definitely stronger than the combined power of those countless demon gods out there!
1824
1825But this is perfectly normal, isn't it? Everyone here are the cream of the crop of the entire Prison Realm.
1826
1827Zhong Yue thought, Could it be that the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave was hidden in this black hole?
1828
1829He had once seen something similar to this — the Returning Ruins.
1830
1831The Returning Ruins was hidden within a black hole, but compared to this, the black hole of Gui Xu was so much larger than this. That black hole of the Returning Ruins was formed when the entire galaxy crumbled, granting it a power so strong that it could effortlessly crush everything.
1832
1833The black hole of Returning Ruins was completely out of the league of this black hole.
1834
1835Though dwarfed by the black hole of Returning Ruins, this black hole of Ancient Land of the Gods Grave was still incredibly powerful.
1836
1837"It is called as Ancient Land of the Gods Grave because the two words in this name, god and grave, contain deep meanings."
1838
1839Bi suddenly said, "Rumours had it that this black hole was created by a powerful god in the ancient days and the entire Ancient Land of the Gods Grave was hidden in this black hole by that god."
1840
1841"Then what is the meaning behind the other words?" asked a curious Bai Canghai.
1842
1843"Ancient Land. It was referring to the ancient era where Ancient Land of the Gods Grave was created and how it looked like a huge hell."
1844
1845An replied, "A terrible place this is. Gods were buried here."
1846
1847With their knowledge, the brothers managed to catch the attention of the others and a lady asked, "So who found this place?"
1848
1849"Not who, but how." Bi laughed, "This place was coincidentally discovered back in that era when the then Realm Lord seized an old man. The Realm Lord failed to destroy this old man himself so he tried to send the prisoner into a black hole to slowly kill him off. The black hole that that Realm Lord had chosen was this black hole hiding the entire Ancient Land of the Gods Grave."
1850
1851"And?" Another Qi Practitioner asked.
1852
1853"Then the Realm Lord lost his life here when he tried to explore the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave, but his prisoner, that old man survived and triumphed as the new Realm Lord of the Prison Realm."
1854
1855An's golden hair fluttered along with the wind as he said, "Not even the Book of Life and Death could control the fate of those on that level. The Realm Lord wanted to kill the prisoner but never foresaw his own demise that resulted in the prisoner taking his thrown."
1856
1857Bi then said again, "After this incident, the name of this place spread across the entire Six Paths World, catching the attention of all the other Realm Lords, attracting them to this place for more exploration. However, with that powerful restriction power here, they suffered heavy losses and by then, news from the other Six Path Worlds reported that there were Ancient Land of the Gods Grave for each world but they were all hidden away in an attempt seemingly trying to hide these Ancient Land of the Gods Grave and some sort of secret.
1858
1859A Qi Practitioner asked, "The creation of the Six Path Worlds and Six Path Wheels was a very great and sacred thing. Why would they try to keep this as a secret? Could it be that there are something not to be spoken off?"
1860
1861"That, we do not know." answered Bi and An.
1862
1863Meanwhile, the courtyard continued floating and travelling deep into the black hole with no end while the Qi Practitioners were dismissed. They started to look for a place in the courtyard to begin their meditation.
1864
1865Jun Sixie was among one of them; back in the Left Fang ship, Zhong Yue passed the precious herbs and materials he obtained from Hell to Jun Sixie.
1866
1867After selecting those suitable for her cultivation, Jun Sixie immediately started her cultivation.
1868
1869Among those things given to her by Zhong Yue, there was something called Jade Dew of Heaven's Court; something very rare even to Zhong Yue; every drop of the rain dew in those bottles was equivalent to a pool of jade liquid, and the rain dew possessed an incredible power that could restructure and rebuild one's body and mind!
1870
1871If she had consumed two drops of rain dews, the benefits she would stand to gain could only be imagined.
1872
1873And to Jun Sixie, what was most important for her was the tributary of the Hell River!
1874
1875She was an Innate Water Spirit Body, and although the Hell River was a Yin-aligned river, it was still water, making it extremely useful to Jun Sixie; it was so compatible and beneficial to her that it could greatly increase the chances of Jun Sixie awakening her Innate Water Spirit!
1876
1877Following right after the tributary Hell River was the Hell King Pearl. The pearl was made from the condensed Yin Qi created after the river water of Hell River evaporated. The main function of this pearl to Jun Sixie was so that it could enhance the speed of her absorption of the power of the Hell River in order to uncover the veil of awakening.
1878
1879Other than that, Zhong Yue gifted her with many other precious items again in order for her to refined her sword zither.
1880
1881After resigning as the headmaster of Swords Gate, Jun Sixie had a lot of time to train herself, but after abandoning it for such a long time, she was unable to achieve a higher level and reforge her zither it into an Extreme Weapon.
1882
1883But with whatever was given to her by Zhong Yue and her own talents, she would be able to do this in no time as long as she devoted her full attention to her cultivation.
1884
1885And only by awakening her true spirit and refining her soul weapon into an Extreme Weapon would she be able to obtain power on par with those experts out there.
1886
1887If she failed, then she would only be a burden to Zhong Yue just as Zhen Yao said.
1888
1889Thus, just imagine the pressure on Jun Sixie!
1890
1891The time flow in the black hole was slow; a few days in here was barely even an entire day on the outside.
1892
1893As they continued advancing into the black hole, they realized that there was no sign of an end to the path they were travelling on.
1894
1895Zhong Yue too, selected a place to cultivate with a peaceful mind and heart, preparing himself for any potential dangers as he also needed to awaken his spirit and soul.
1896
1897After another few days, the advancement speed of the courtyard slowed down as if it were halted by some kind of unseen power as it traveled; the entire courtyard shook vigorously and the trembling became stronger as time passed.
1898
1899And it was only up until now that the Realm Lord finally acted; he reached out his palms, held off the unseen power supported sufficient energy for the courtyard to keep on travelling again.
1900
1901Two days later, the courtyard shook lightly before coming into a complete stop while light came from the core of the black hole that looked like candlelight that could go off anytime soon.
1902
1903But when Zhong Yue looked toward the light with his divine eye, he realized that the light was actually a huge land. It appeared to be a light ball because it was covered by divine rays and looked small only because of the distance between them.
1904
1905They had finally arrived at the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave.
1906
1907As they arrived, the many Qi Practitioners stood up and looked at the light excitingly.
1908
1909"Lay down the bridge," shouted the officers.
1910
1911All of a sudden, countless divine weapons flew out from the courtyard; the demon gods of the Prison Realm not taking part in the competition raised their arms and sent their divine weapons flying to the front, forming a huge bridge of divine weapons.
1912
1913The divine weapons clashed, deflecting each other toward the front, and as they clashed, they formed a bridge that slowly extended all the way into the black hole and into the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave.
1914
1915In the end, the many dharma kings shouted and activated their soul weapons, shooting them out like meteors that slammed onto the end of the bridge before they became part of this bridge!
1916
1917Finally, as the final weapon laid onto the structure, a marvelous bridge was formed, connecting the courtyard with the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave!
1918
1919The Realm Lord then took out a palm sized altar with various tiny colourful pillars made with needles. He took a breath and he hurled the altar right towards the end of the bridge.
1920
1921And once he got to the opposite side of the bridge, this tiny altar enlarged and turned into a huge portal.
1922
1923Upon seeing this, the demon gods present bowed and prayed to the end of the bridge before colourful rays shot down from the skies, covering everyone as the teleportal was activated.
1924
1925"My friends, let's go," said the Realm Lord.
1926
1927Right away, one after another demon gods dashed towards the front and charged towards the end of the bridge.
1928
1929Zhong Yue, Jun Sixie, Qiu Jin'er and Bai Canghai moved together and they too, started advancing.
1930
1931Suddenly, tremendous clashes came from the front before blood rained down from the skies and a head fell onto the ground not far away from the four of them.
1932
1933"They are starting it already?"
1934
1935Zhong Yue looked at the unfamiliar face lying on the ground; this Qi Practitioner did not achieve an immortal body like Zhong Yue. Though immense life force surged across the body of this beheaded Qi Practitioner, this Qi Practitioner did not survive after his head was beheaded because of this reason.
1936
1937With a frown, Zhong Yue looked towards the bridge where fierce battles took place; the Qi Practitioners from the many galaxies charged towards the teleportal while they attacked each other without holding back in order to gain the upper hand against their foes.
1938
1939This bridge was extremely narrow and the protection of these divine weapons were limited; only one person could get onto the bridge at one time and if not careful, one would be crushed to death by the black hole if that person fell off from the bridge!
1940
1941"Jin'er could make it, but Senior Martial Sister Jun and Brother Bai definitely couldn't. We have to be the last to cross this bridge."
1942
1943As soon as he thought of this, he tried to back off from the bridge but suddenly, an unknown hostile launched a powerful energy wave at him. But Zhong Yue dodged it easily with his quick reflexes.
1944
1945"Under the bridge!" Zhong Yue shouted as he led the group to the bottom of the bridge.
1946
1947Right away, Jun Sixie and the others understood his intention and they all hurried towards the bottom of the bridge while dodging the attacks from the hostiles. However, it was not only them that realized this as there were also many others that came charging towards the bottom of the bridge before dashing towards the front.
1948
1949With that, it did not take long until the battle spread toward the bottom of the bridge; different battles occured at the top and the bottom of the bridge, but now, there were even people fighting each other at the very side of the bridge!
1950
1951Chaos descended upon the surroundings but the most lethal force was the merciless power of the black hole.
1952
1953Cold sweat dripped down Zhong Yue's forehead; it was not easy for him to guard Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai at the same time in a tough battle like this. If he was not careful enough, he could even lose his life in this battle too!
1954
1955"Human. If not now, when!? Besides, where can I possibly find you in the Ancient Land of the Gods Grave?"
1956
1957Reverse Emperor came charging out from nowhere; he swung his blood axe around with vigorous battle intent and he shouted, "Why don't we duel each other to death on this bridge!"
1958
1959The hairband of Zhong Yue burst part suddenly, rage filled Zhong Yue and he shouted back, "Come then!"
1960
1961Chapter 651: The Strong Lives, The Weak Dies
1962
1963
1964
1965Battle cries echoed throughout the bridge; Qi Practitioners were fiercely locked in battle just to get onto the bridge while the Reverse Emperor shouted, "Zhong Yue! You won against me because you had every element for yourself! Now, let's see how are you supposed to win me without the power of the sun or the Metamagnet Divine Rays!"
1966
1967And he was right; Zhong Yue only managed to triumph over him because he had the environmental advantage; the sun light and metamagnet divine rays drawn towards them by the solar storms played a very big part in him defeating the Reverse Emperor.
1968
1969Here, with the absence of these advantages, Zhong Yue had no other options left, and all he could do was go head on against the Reverse Emperor, which gave Reverse Emperor the confidence to challenge Zhong Yue right now!
1970
1971The strength of the Reverse Emperor was ridiculous; he was, after all, an ancient demon king who, even after he reborn with limited strength, was still among the best of the best in terms of power!
1972
1973"Jin'er, clear us a path!"
1974
1975Zhong Yue ordered Qiu Jin'er and she quickly activated her true spirit, forming two dragons under her leg as she charged towards the foes in front of her.
1976
1977With his back facing Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai, Zhong Yue was now met with the Reverse Emperor's blood axe; as he swung his blood axe, a blood red demonic eye emerged and the energy of the axe shot out from the eye!
1978
1979It was none other than the [Eye of Burying Emperor]!
1980
1981The white haired young man reached for his back against this attack, and he pulled his saber out of its sheath, exposing the eye-catching Solar Divine Saber. A solar storm then erupted, launching powerful waves of energy toward the [Eye of Burying Emperor]!
1982
1983The two exchanged positions, and both let out a pained groan; the heart of the Reverse Emperor thumped at the immense power he felt coming from Zhong Yue's attack; it was so much more powerful than the last time they met!
1984
1985How is this possible? How did his power increase so sharply?
1986
1987Things did not end just like that; as they dashed past each other, Zhong Yue's white hair grew rapidly before they suddenly turning into incredibly sharp as it shot towards the back of Reverse Emperor. Zhong Yue also swung his Solar Divine Saber towards the back of Reverse Emperor. As he swung his saber, the saber turned into a saber sheath and he quickly launched [Moon Tide] with lightning speed!
1988
1989Facing against Zhong Yue's attack, Reverse Emperor reached out his hand and a bloodied banner appeared; he waved the banner towards his back, fending off the white hairs. He waved the banner again, unleashing the remnants of countless godly corpses. These corpses had ugly expressions on their faces as they roared angrily. Their never ending hunger for Yuan Shen, life essence, flesh and psyche felt like they were going to devour every Qi Practitioners around them.
1990
1991Zhong Yue turned around, swung his saber in a crescent and cut the bloodied banner of Reverse Emperor apart effortlessly.
1992
1993Zhe—
1994
1995Blood ocean gushed out from the destroyed banner and the countless godly corpses became even more violent as they all stood up from the ocean.
1996
1997What!?
1998
1999The expression of Reverse Emperor clearly showed his disbelief! He hopped backwards, avoiding Zhong Yue and landing on the blood ocean before running away, This brat has become so strong in just a few days! I… I might not…. I might not be able to beat him!
2000
2001Zhong Yue, on the other hand, reacted quickly and chased after the Reverse Emperor. In no time, he intercepted Reverse Emperor and shouted, "Senior martial sister, Brother Bai, follow me! Jin'er, cover our back!"
2002
2003Though confused by Zhong Yue's request, Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai began to execute it regardless; they followed behind Zhong Yue closely while Qiu Jin'er, who was standing on at the front, waited for them to pass so that she could cover them.
2004
2005"Reverse Emperor! Only the bravest among all will win the battle in a narrow path!"
2006
2007The six-eye Star Toad appeared behind Zhong Yue and it let out a roar that trembled the blood ocean, halted and completed shattered the blood ocean that was about to turn back into the bloodied banner.
2008
2009"Will you survive when we fight our way to the other end of this bridge?"
2010
2011Zhong Yue moved swiftly towards his destination right away after he shouted at Reverse Emperor. With the two sabers in his hands, Zhong Yue unleashed a barrage of attacks towards the front; with each step, he swung his saber once, and these attacks were all aimed towards the Reverse Emperor's head!
2012
2013Meanwhile, the Reverse Emperor struggled to fend off the attack of Zhong Yue with his blood axe. At the same time, another head grew out from his back, and four arms emerged from his armpits. At the back of him were countless Qi Practitioners charging towards the end of the bridge. These Qi Practitioners were fighting each other as well; they summoned and activated various divine weapons and they were all engaged in a dog fight.
2014
2015The bridge was a narrow bridge, a single bridge that led towards the other end and even though it had four paths on it, only four Qi Practitioners could step onto the bridge. Reverse Emperor backed off suddenly, and he immediately charged towards the Qi Practitioners. But he too, was targeted by all of them.
2016
2017And this was what Zhong Yue meant; there was no escape when fighting on a narrow path; one will either triumph over the body of his foe and let his foe triumph over his body!
2018
2019Now, with Zhong Yue forced very close to him and the other Qi Practitioners attacking him, the pressure Reverse Emperor was facing could be imagined!
2020
2021There were many experts among the Qi Practitioners on the bridge. They were all Qi Practitioners with power exceeding demigods, and their strengths were not weaker than Zhong Yue's and the others'. Thus, the pressure Reverse Emperor faced was tremendous.
2022
2023In just a short time, Reverse Emperor began suffering heavy injuries, and he suddenly shouted, "You want me dead? Then you will have to go through the hard way!"
2024
2025Reverse Emperor suddenly evaded a Qi Practitioner, swapped place with him and pushed this Qi Practitioner to the space between Zhong Yue and himself.
2026
2027The Qi Practitioner was caught off guard and when he realized what happened, the attack of Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor had already gotten dangerously close to his skull! However, this Qi Practitioner was not someone to be messed with; he fended off the attack of Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor and in a blink of an eye, the head of the Qi Practitioner fell onto the ground as the saber and axe beheaded him.
2028
2029Reverse Emperor laughed happily, grabbed the body, hurled it into his blood ocean and in an instant, his injuries healed and the blood ocean turned back into the bloodied banner.
2030
2031This Qi Practitioner that was killed by both Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor was so strong that he was almost equally strong than the duo but when he was attacked by the duo, he was killed on the spot.
2032
2033Though almost as strong as the duo, the slightest differences in his power and their's had cost him his life.
2034
2035As rivals, Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor understood each other deeply; before killing that Qi Practitioner, they teamed up without saying a word and caught that Qi Practitioner off guard.
2036
2037Suddenly, a clear noise sounded out, stunning both Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor and they quickly took out their token. Upon taking a look at their toten, Reverse Emperor cursed silently while Zhong Yue became very happy for a star appeared on his own token.
2038
2039This meant that a Qi Practitioner has died on the hands of Zhong Yue.
2040
2041This might be a shortcut for me….
2042
2043Zhong Yue laughed happily, rained down attacks onto Reverse Emperor, forcing him to back off yet, leaving some room for him.
2044
2045After his wounds healed, Reverse Emperor shouted again, "Human, you and I, if we team up, we will be unstoppable so why are we fighting each other like that?"
2046
2047His words however, fell onto deaf ears as Zhong Yue continued his attacks, leaving the Reverse Emperor no choice but to hurled another Qi Practitioner in between Zhong Yue and himself.
2048
2049Pu zhe—-
2050
2051As the sabers and axe were swung, another head flew into the air and onto the ground before it was crushed by the black hole!
2052
2053Again, Zhong Yue was happy while the Reverse Emperor cursed; another Qi Practitioner had lost his life to Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor thought, This brat's attack speed is way too fast. Whatever I do now will never be able to benefit me!
2054
2055But he couldn't do anything about this. He was indeed weaker than Zhong Yue, although it was still hard for Zhong Yue to completely obliterate him, Zhong Yue was much faster in every aspect, making it almost impossible for Reverse Emperor to steal a kill from Zhong Yue.
2056
2057Fortunately for him, Zhong Yue always left some space for Reverse Emperor so that he could absorb the power of the fallen Qi Practitioners to treat his wounds and have a quick rest.
2058
2059It was not that the Reverse Emperor did not think of running away, but after a few attempts, Zhong Yue was still behind him like his shadow, and this prompted the Reverse Emperor to give up.
2060
2061This time, unlike a duel to the death back then, they were sort of working together as the Reverse Emperor kept hurling Qi Practitioners in between them. There were many that were not inferior to them among the fallen Qi Practitioners but had only lost their lives when Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor cooperated!
2062
2063On the other hand, Qiu Jin'er paid full attention to cover Zhong Yue's back. She had awoken her true spirit, bestowing her with great power especially in regards to defense. As long as she did not make any mistakes, she would be able to defend everyone.
2064
2065As they kept charging towards the front, Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor had already cut down almost two hundred Qi Practitioners.
2066
2067However, unlike Zhong Yue, who was happy and satisfied, Reverse Emperor as barely any of the kills were credited to him.
2068
2069There were only two stars on his token, but the number of stars on the token Zhong Yue had 204.
2070
2071If we reached the end, this little brat probably already has enough to enter the top ten already! The Reverse Emperor thought.
2072
2073Zhong Yue too, thought, Perhaps I am already qualified to be the top ten even without entering the Ancient Land of the God Graves. What a shame, I inevitably missed out on a few… This only means that I am still not strong enough….
2074
2075If Reverse Emperor got to know this, he might be extremely furious that he would probably cough out blood.
2076
2077The two charged around the bridge happily and when Reverse Emperor hurled another Qi Practitioner in, that young Qi Practitioner said with a cold and calm tone, "You are going to team up against me? Do you know anything about [Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven]?"
2078
2079Right away, the Six Path Wheel lit up and began spinning while Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor was seized by the Six Path Wheel behind the head of this young Qi Practitioner. This did not stop after the duo was seized; the others around the bridge including Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai were all captured by this young Qi Practitioner.
2080
2081Qiu Jin'er too, was captured after she put up some resistance in futility.
2082
2083The many Qi Practitioners struggled to escape and suddenly, the young Qi Practitioner started praying and upon hearing the prayers, a weaker Qi Practitioner suddenly sat down and prayed towards the young Qi Practitioner.
2084
2085With that, the power of the young Qi Practitioner surged slightly and through this, more and more fell under his control. The power of the young Qi Practitioner began to increase quickly.
2086
2087However, thanks to their unique innate spirit bodies, Qiu Jin'er, Jun Sixie, and Bai Canghai escaped the fate of being brainwashed.
2088
2089But it was only a matter of time if this young Qi Practitioner was not stopped.
2090
2091An ultimate art of the Six Path Reincarnation?
2092
2093Zhong Yue had a shock as the prayers grew louder and clearer, trembling his soul and Yuan Shen. But this was not what gave him the greatest shock; what shook him the most was this [Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven] that he saw!
2094
2095"No, not an art but a technique, a technique of the Six Path Reincarnation Art!" Xin Huo said out of nowhere.
2096
2097This discovery was incredibly shocking; there were little to no techniques or arts related to the Six Path Reincarnation, and Zhong Yue hadn't run into one even after entering this Prison Realm. But he actually came across one now!
2098
2099"Crush him together!"
2100
2101Reverse Emperor shouted as he unbinded himself from the shackles; the blood axe lit up and the demonic eye appeared again while Zhong Yue swung his two sabers.
2102
2103Together, they struck their weapons toward that young Qi Practitioner and they launched their best attack in sync at the same time!
2104
2105"You have also cultivated the Six Path Wheel?"
2106
2107The expression of that young Qi Practitioner stiffened up slightly upon seeing the same wheel behind Zhong Yue's head, but this did not stop his prayers from being interrupted.
2108
2109With that, the Qi Practitioner was staggered slightly and suddenly, he burrowed into the ground and emerged from the other side as he dodged Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor's attacks.
2110
2111The young Qi Practitioner took a close look at Zhong Yue's Six Path Wheel and he mocked happily before vanishing into thin air, "Hahahaha, you did not get the true meaning of reincarnation even after achieving this. You've only merely touched the surface."
2112
2113Chapter 652: I Did Not Fail You
2114
2115
2116
2117Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor broke through the power of that young Qi Practitioner and the other victims collapsed and regained their consciousness quickly again.
2118
2119After exchanging glances, Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor couldn't help but frowned how strong that man was; the [Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven] was undoubtedly one of the strongest techniques they have ever seen; with this skill, that young Qi Practitioner turned experts like Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor into his followers easily.
2120
2121"This is the first time I've ever run into someone like that…." The Reverse Emperor murmured.
2122
2123"I don't understand the true meaning of reincarnation…. I don't?" Zhong Yue sighed secretly.
2124
2125He then thought, That man said I only had a glimspe on the Six Path Wheel and he is right. I may have achieved this, but I have yet to fully comprehend everything about the Six Path Reincarnation and even my [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] did not include the secrets of the Six Path Reincarnation….
2126
2127Immediately, the weight on his shoulders felt overwhelming, and he began to become even more alert and cautious.
2128
2129It had been about 200,000 years since the Six Path Reincarnation was created; judging from this, the secrets of the Six Path Reincarnation should have already been discovered and there were bound to be countless arts created based on the Six Path Reincarnation!
2130
2131And that art performed by that Qi Practitioner was one of these ultimate arts.
2132
2133Although he had created his own Six Path Wheel, he had only invested limited time into this, and his understanding of this art was still very shallow; all he knew were only those things on the surface, and this couldn't be compared to those out there with deep understanding.
2134
2135And this was how he became inferior to those people out there.
2136
2137Zhong Yue came from the Ancestral Star, a place that was extremely isolated; Xin Huo had also been in slumber for years and knew nothing as well of the world's current circumstances, which made him of limited help to Zhong Yue in regards to such matters.
2138
2139As such, Zhong Yue could only hold his ground against someone like the Reverse Emperor but not someone like that Qi Practitioner who had cultivated an art closely related to Six Path Reincarnation.
2140
2141The strength of that Qi Practitioner was beyond Zhong Yue's expectations; in just a blink of an eye, he gained control over the consciousnesses of the other Qi Practitioners present, almost killing them all. If it weren't for Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor teaming up against him, the result would have been devastating.
2142
2143With just a stomp, that Qi Practitioner left behind a huge hole on the divine bridge formed that was formed from countless divine weapons; this mere display was enough to show Zhong Yue that he was out of his league.
2144
2145Besides, even after teaming up with the Reverse Emperor, he still couldn't defeat that Qi Practitioner; his foe was still able to leave the battle effortlessly!
2146
2147If the [Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven] was just one of the many Six Path Reincarnation arts out there, what kind of unique traits would the other arts possess?
2148
2149Zhong Yue knew nothing about this.
2150
2151No matter how well one performs, there would always be others better than you. I mustn't get complacent!
2152
2153Zhong Yue looked around and he figured, But chance is hard to come by. I might be able to learn more about the Six Path Reincarnation in this experimental field and after merging it with my [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], I could probably fix all my weaknesses!
2154
2155His eyes lit up with hope and suddenly, he slashed at the Reverse Emperor and shouted, "Haha! Reverse Emperor, again!"
2156
2157Caught off guard, Reverse Emperor was almost killed by him. Rage surged across Reverse Emperor as he yelled back, "Damn you, human! We should team up instead of fighting each other!"
2158
2159"Oh? Enlighten me on how you turn down my offer to team up back when we were about to enter this place." Zhong Yue retorted, "We teamed up now because I forced you to. However, I will personally end your miserable life when we are done here!"
2160
2161"Dream on!"
2162
2163The two fought ferociously; Zhong Yue swung his saber everywhere at the Reverse Emperor, who immediately absorbed the essence of the fallen ones to regenerate and prevent himself from succumbing to his injuries.
2164
2165But still, Zhong Yue was a level better than him, being able to inflict sufficient damage on the Reverse Emperor prevented him from increasing his power through absorbing a huge amount of essence.
2166
2167The duo pressed on their battle; they rammed straight towards the front while Qiu Jin'er followed closely behind them and guarded both Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai.
2168
2169On the altar of the courtyard, Tian Shi suddenly reported, "My lord, I felt that weird movement again. It appeared only for a split second but we have briefly locked on to it."
2170
2171With his attention drew towards Tian Shi and his curiously emerged, Heavenly King Shang looked around while an eye appeared behind Tian Shi, revealing the scene where that Qi Practitioner immobilized Zhong Yue and the others.
2172
2173"That ancient item is probably in one of their hands," added Tian Shi, "Too bad it only exposed itself for a second or we would have been able to pinpoint its location already."
2174
2175Heavenly King Shang nodded silently and without drawing any attention to himself, he said, "It's alright, things will be much easier now that we have a trail. Now, we have a rough estimation of the item's location, all we have to do is wait until the the fighting has settled down before searching through them one by one!
2176
2177Silently, Tian Shi bowed at Heavenly King Shang and he proceeded to observe the battle quietly.
2178
2179The old fox Heavenly King Shang has definitely found out something… What a shame, I do not have someone like the eight generals of Heavenly King Shang or they must be dreaming if they tried to steal from my Realm! Thought the Realm Lord, Fortunately I am a step quicker than you this time, Heavenly King Shang. You have your eight generals to scout for you and I have my own soul beast divine eye!
2180
2181The divine eyes on the soul tokens were used to monitor these Qi Practitioners and also a security centre.
2182
2183These tokens were forged by the Realm Lord himself and once a person wore it, the Realm Lord would be able to see what the wearer saw.
2184
2185Hence, he poured in so much effort in order to create such a huge number of tokens for this event; he merely wanted to explore the Ancient Land of Gods Grave through these eyes!
2186
2187And of course, with this, no one was able to escape from his surveillance!
2188
2189Xin Huo was also included; he would not be able to escape undiscovered!
2190
2191Meanwhile on the bridge, the battle between Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor continued; their figures flickered back and forth and shockwaves resounded every time they collided. Five stars appeared on the Reverse Emperor's token and countless stars filled up Zhong Yue's.
2192
2193There were already 565 others who were cut down by Zhong Yue!
2194
2195As much as he hated it so much, the Reverse Emperor was not able to anything and thought, The portal is about to be completed and I guess this brat has no use of me after that. He will probably cut me down before anything but it is still not easy to kill me even if you are improving rapidly….
2196
2197Suddenly, a chill traveled the Reverse Emperor's spine. He quickly turned around, lifted up his blood axe and swung it down in front of him.
2198
2199Hong long—
2200
2201Blood gushed out from the Reverse Emperor's mouth; he staggered and thought, Oh no! This brat is behind me now and he will definitely add more salt into injuries….
2202
2203A palm landed on Reverse Emperor's back and as he gave up all hope, a never-ending energy flowed into his body and he looked backwards in shock, He helped to counter the immense force just now and actually tried to save me….
2204
2205Zhong Yue, however, looked very serious as he looked towards the front where ten Qi Practitioners stood in front of the portal on the other end of the bridge. They were covered in their enemies' blood and struck menacing figures as they stood there will blood dripping from their clothes!
2206
2207Obviously, the ten of them came from the same galaxy; they teamed up to secure this portal and awaited the challengers to approach before killing them all. With that, they would be able to obtain the ten seats even if they did not enter the forbidden land!
2208
2209With the four paths, the top, bottom, left and right of the bridge, four Qi Practitioners would be able to move at the same time but there were ten of them all together. This naturally granted them a higher chance against those not in a team.
2210
2211"You live up to your name, Reverse Emperor. You actually took a combined full blow without suffering any injuries.
2212
2213The three Qi Practitioners guarding the teleportal smiled and said again, "Too bad you will still die. If you stop now, those behind you will crush you, but if you advance, ultimately, you will be killed by us. Since you are dead anyway, why don't you do us all a favour and end your own life?"
2214
2215Zhong Yue looked back and frowned as he saw Qiu Jin'er who was still fending off those behind them, but she looked like she couldn't hold on much longer.
2216
2217"I'd say we ally with each other for the moment," said Reverse Emperor.
2218
2219With a nod, Zhong Yue said, "How many attacks can you fend off if we fight against them together?"
2220
2221As anger and rage filled his eyes and nightmare fueled expression, Reverse Emperor said, "Only three attacks! But I will drag one of them down with me if I go down!"
2222
2223"Three? That's more than enough!' Zhong Yue answered, "All I need you to do is take on two attacks from them and they will all be dead! This time, you attack!"
2224
2225Curious and puzzled, Reverse Emperor asked, "Me? So I will be your shield while you stand behind?"
2226
2227Zhong Yue nodded and said again, "If you are confident that you can kill them in two moves, I can be your shield."
2228
2229"Alright! Deal! I want to see how you will do it!"
2230
2231Reverse Emperor shook his head, turned around and a body grew out from his head; the new born little Reverse Emperor hurried to the side and waved the bloodied banner while shouting at the three Qi Practitioners!
2232
2233"Get out of my way!" shouted Reverse Emperor.
2234
2235"You are asking for me!" replied the trio.
2236
2237With cold stares, the trio merged their power into a powerful attack and activated their divine weapon before striking at Reverse Emperor!
2238
2239Hong long—-
2240
2241Tremendous shockwaves were traveled outwards; the Reverse Emperor's skin burst apart as his flesh splattered in various places. What remained of him was a mangled collection of bones, or so it seemed.
2242
2243Suddenly, the flesh scattered everywhere slowly flew back onto his bones and in just an instant, Reverse Emperor emerged looking unharmed and he shouted, "The first attack, Zhong Yue! Now the second one!"
2244
2245With incredible focus, Zhong Yue he continued observing their foes.
2246
2247Hong—-
2248
2249Another even stronger shockwave were emitted towards the surrounding and Reverse Emperor looked even worse than before; this time, cracks appeared on his bones.
2250
2251But this time, as they clashed, Zhong Yue lunged out immediately while six hands grew from his body. He began waving the banner with all his eight hands!
2252
2253Four Yuan Shen were extracted out from their bodies before falling into the banner!
2254
2255With a flick, Zhong Yue kicked the Reverse Emperor's Yuan Shen out from the banner and when the pale Reverse Emperor looked at him, Zhong Yue replied, "I did not fail you."
