Chapter 1620: Arrival

Chapter 1620: Arrival

“Vile Kṣitigarbha? Evil Way King? Demon Scholar?”

Long-browed Divine Monk, Princess Royal Furi, Xiahou Zun and more looked furious. “Are you really going to do this? You are humans too!” Vile Kṣitigarbha, Evil Way King, and Demon Scholar were all Heavenly Champion Ranking Sages. Naturally, they were the villainous kind. The kind who committed all kinds of evil.

Of course, they were still human.

The Evil Snake Sovereign, Night Demon and Corpse Buddha from earlier were all powerful Strangers. The Chief Libationist was planning to borrow the power of wishes and the Heavenly Way to dispel the evil and filth plaguing these lands. It was mainly targeted at Strangers and evils instead of villains and heretics like Vile Kṣitigarbha, Evil Way King, and Demon Scholar. They were human after all.

However, they were now aligning themselves with Strangers. It was a despicable and inhuman stance that they were taking.

“Not at all. The world does not need a hero like the Chief Libationist, much less peace and order. Chaos and slaughter is this world’s main theme.”

Demon Scholar was smiling warmly, and his appearance was refined and elegant. However, his words could only be described as scary and terrifying.

“This world is finally getting back on track, but the Chief Libationist is trying to defy the natural order. It is unforgivable, unforgivable!”

“He deserves to die, deserves to be killed, deserves to be eradicated!”

In the end, Demon Scholar’s eyes were bloodshot, and his demonic intent was through the roof.

“Indeed, what humanity needs is chaos. Only chaos is the ultimate end,” the Evil Way King said while stroking his beard.

Vile Kṣitigarbha uttered viciously, “There is no human in this world, only ghosts. Therefore, all should go to hell!”

“You do not know what you’re talking about, traitorous curs!”

Princess Royal Furi rebuked them angrily, “If you insist on courting death, then I shall fulfill your wish!”

Princess Royal Furi flipped her hands over. If one hand the heavens, and the other the earth, then flipping them over was akin to flipping heaven and earth upside down.

Vile Kṣitigarbha, Evil Way King, and Demon Scholar immediately plummeted toward the deep areas of the void.

It was at this moment the book Demon Scholar was holding slowly unfurled itself. He horrifying screams and wails instantly skyrocketed in intensity and power.

Princess Royal Furi’s movement halted, and her mind became confused as a result.

“Hahaha... A human is destined to live shackled and burdened in this world, but at least in my book they have a beginning and an end. Come inside!” Demon Scholar laughed as his book began flipping through the pages rapidly. Each page was a story and a world on its own. Colorful demonic qi were catching the

warriors and dragging them all into the world of the book.

At the same time, the Evil Way King waved his horsetail whisk and reversed the eight directions, threw the Five Phases into disarray, and inverted the two poles to create chaos. He blocked Xiahou Zun and Divine Master Cang Xu’s way.

Vile Kṣitigarbha let out a sinister laugh and grabbed his own shoulder. Then, he ripped off his own skin.

“Kekeke...”

The human skin instantly transformed into an endless hell where countless ghosts roamed free. He then charged toward the Long-browed Divine Monk and those who would stand in his way.

For a time, the trio were singlehandedly keeping the many elites on the Altar of Heaven at bay. Not a single person was able to reinforce the Chief Libationist.

It wasn’t because the trio were stronger than the likes of Princess Royal Furi, Long-browed Divine Monk, Divine Master Cang Xu or Xiahou Zun. It was because they could go all out without having to worry about consequences, but everyone else had many things dragging their feet such as the common people, the Altar of Heaven, the Chief Libationist and more. Because of this, they were unable to overcome the trio immediately.

The reason they were blocking the Sages were simple. It was to create an opportunity for others, of course.

The next moment, two terrible energies appeared in the air.

“Keke... I am here.”

An eerie cackle broke out, and a bony palm clutching a blood-drenched coffin nail reached out to nail the Chief Libationist in the skull.

“I haven’t forgotten how you ruined my good fortune that day. Today is the day you pay the blood price.”

The other energy created a spear that seemed potent enough to kill the sun and moon and plunged heaven and earth into darkness. Everything it passed through was destroyed. It penetrated the Nine Nethers and flew straight toward the Chief Libationist.

The Chief Libationist wasn’t the only one who was being targeted. When the spear descended, it was as if it had ripped off the canvas that was the sky and caused darkness to pour down on the entire imperial capital as if the Nine Nethers had descended upon humanity.

Therefore, even if this spear failed to kill the Chief Libationist, it was enough to destroy the entire imperial capital and take countless lives.

“You are going against fate, Chief Libationist. Naturally, you will die for your sins.”

They were all familiar faces. One of them was White Bone Divine Sovereign, and the other the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

Back at Nanjiang, when the Great Emperor of Fengdu, White Bone Divine Sovereign, Subhūti and more tried to take the Heavens’ Eye, the Chief Libationist had stopped them and beaten the shit out of them. It made sense that they would return for revenge.

Of course, maybe White Bone Divine Sovereign was here purely for revenge, but the Great Emperor of Fengdu’ motive was definitely suspect.

Just hearing his name was enough to know that the Great Emperor of Fengdu was deeply connected to Fengdu. In fact, the Great Emperor of Fengdu was the sovereign of the current Fengdu. He was supported by the Six Ghosts and Ghosts and commanded five Ghost Emperors. He was the ruler of the Nether.

In terms of status and influence, the Great Emperor of Fengdu surpassed even the Six Ghosts and Gods.

It was rumored that the Great Emperor of Fengdu was the reincarnation of a wisp of the ancient King Taishan’s True Spirit. However, King Taishan was still alive, so naturally the rumor was wrong.

There was no doubt about it though. The Great Emperor of Fengdu and King Taishan were in cahoots with each other.

Although the Great Emperor of Fengdu had, for whatever reason, not taken action during King Taishan’s earlier conspiracy, the fact was that he was acting now.

“It’s our turn now. Qingyou, you go deal with White Bone Divine Sovereign. I’ll test out this Great Emperor of Fengdu.”

Ye Qing said while looking at Feng Qingyou. They were “old acquaintances” after all. Naturally, they should be the ones to deal with them.

“Got it.” Feng Qingyou responded and abruptly appeared between White Bone Divine Sovereign and the Chief Libationist like an illusion. The Supreme Primal Origin Celebratory Cloud gathering at her fingertips, she clashed against White Bone Divine Sovereign’s coffin nail.

There was no explosion, no vibration, no color, not even a shockwave. There was only a cloud slowly eating away at White Bone Divine Sovereign’s coffin nail.

“The Supreme Primal Origin Celebratory Cloud?!” White Bone Divine Sovereign let out a cry of shock and anger.

On the other side, Ye Qing was growing taller with every step he took. His aura and presence was growing stronger as well.

Three steps later, Ye Qing arrived at the center of the imperial capital and the peak of the Heavens' Eye Tower.

Right now, he was ten meters tall with eyes that resembled the sun and the moon. Profound light circled around his body, and his energies were flawless and vast. He was like a living celestial.

The next moment, Ye Qing looked up at the pouring darkness and turned his hands left and right like he was stirring the world around him.

Yin and yang turned into a millstone and appeared above the imperial capital. It was the Great Hand of Yin and Yang The pouring darkness was halted before it could hit the imperial capital. The yin yang millstone had annihilated it inch by inch.

“Hmph! You overestimate yourself!” The Great Emperor of Fengdu let out a cold hmph, and the spear stabbed onto the yin yang millstone. Slowly, it put a hole in the yin yang millstone and slowed its rotation more and more.

The noises grew shriller and shriller until finally, the yin yang millstone exploded into pieces.

The instant the yin yang millstone exploded, Ye Qing threw out a punch from the top of the Heavens’ Eye Tower.

It was a punch that annihilated yin and yang, time and space, the Five Phases, the Six Paths, and all living things. It was Annihilation Hammer.

Therefore, the punch shattered space and killed yin and yang, leaving only primal chaos behind.

The attack elicited no sound whatsoever. However, the spear dissolved into nothing, and the sea of darkness in the sky slowly disappeared.
