Chapter 1540: Abyss Seal, Command Deity

Yan Guhui knew he was no match, so he created a diversion and escaped right under his enemy’s nose. First, he split his mind into two. One portion remained inside his original body, and the other took over Fu Qingbai’s body.

The original stayed behind to act as bait and battle against Ye Qing. Meanwhile, Fu Qingbai took the ancient Evil Infant with him and snuck away from the Eight Views Celestial Mountain.

In order to fool Ye Qing, he left most of his power in his original body. He also mobilized the remnant energy of the Evil Infant that had accumulated in the Eight Views Celestial Mountain over tens of thousands of years. This way, he could definitely fool Ye Qing and leave with the Evil Infant in confidence.

He already had a comprehensive plan inside his head. He was currently occupying Fu Qingbai’s body, and Fu Qingbai was a high level guest warrior in the Southern Sea Ship Alliance. He could absolutely exploit his status and swiftly recover his and the Evil Infant’s power.

He could take revenge then. No, he wasn’t just going to take revenge. He was going to plunge the world into chaos, massacre countless, and manifest the power of the ancient Evil Infant once more.

“Uwah... uwah...”

“You’re hungry? Be good and endure a little longer, okay? There are countless people on the land and even more evil and slaughter. You will regain your power very soon, and the entire world will soon fall under your influence.”

“Uwah... uwah...”

Be good. There’s no hurry. It won’t be long now...”

“It’s a grand ambition.”

Yan Guhui was still absorbed in beautiful dreams of the future when suddenly, a voice spoke behind him. “It’s too bad you won’t get the chance to fulfill it.” Shocked and alarmed, Yan Guhui spun around to find a mysterious, white-robed figure standing on his boat. His face was hidden behind his hood.

This person was, of course, White Robe Demon Master, and Ye Qing was the one who sent him.

When he and Feng Qingyou infiltrated the Eight Views Celestial Mountain earlier, he had stationed White Robe Demon Master at the foot of the mountain just in case.

Also, he felt like Yan Guhui was trying to buy time when he was conversing with him. He did not see Fu Qingbai anywhere either. Suspecting that Yan Guhui was pulling one over on him, he had ordered White Robe Demon Master to search the area.

As expected, White Robe Demon Master quickly discovered the escaping Fu Qingbai.

That was how they arrived here.

“Junior Fu Qingbai greets you, senior...”

Yan Guhui blanched when he noticed that the newcomer wasn’t Ye Qing or Feng Qingyou. When he got to his feet and turned around to face White Robe Demon Master, his swollen belly instantly returned to normal, and Yan Guhui saluted him with a careful, reserved expression.

“Fu Qingbai, huh?” White Robe Demon Master taunted, “I thought you’re called Yan Guhui? When did you become Fu Qingbai?”

“It’s not good enough that you took over his body, you’re stealing his name as well? Tsk tsk... just how shameless can you get?”

White Robe Demon Master’s words made it crystal clear that he was on team Ye Qing. Yan Guhui knew then that there was no point in trying to deceive the man.

There was only one way he might survive this, and that was to give it his all.

So, Yan Guhui wiped his forehead. A talisman and a seal flew out.

The talisman was a yellow paper cinnabar talisman. It looked old and tattered.

Despite its appearance, a white sun appeared, and countless stars shone. Starlight poured down like a waterfall and formed chains of stars and fetters of the Great Way.

Both chains and fetters crisscrossed one another to form a cage of starlight that spanned across the cosmos.

It could lock away the heavens, seal the earth, lock down a god, and suppress a demon.

The seal was a white jade seal with five dragons etched on its surface. The jade seal looked corrupted, dim, and covered in cracks. However, as soon as the jade seal emerged and landed on the ground, the word “Command” appeared on the sea surface. It was so large that it spanned over dozens of kilometers.

The word looked ancient, profound, and seemingly imbued with immense power. The next second, a deep, bottomless hole appeared at the center of the word. It seemed to be connected to a mysterious world.

Then, a god, a ghost, a celestial and a Buddha emerged from the hole.

The god was over three hundred meters tall and wielded two axes[1]. His power seemed infinite.

The ghost was blue-faced and fanged. It was surrounded in yin qi and deadly flames that scorched the sky.

The celestial was elegant-looking and carried a sword. His sword qi was voluminous and intense.

The Buddha was holding prayer beads. He cast Buddhist light around him and boasted immense power.

The Eight Views Sect’s signature abilities—their talismanic arts and deity summoning arts—were famous throughout the world. Not only that, they possessed two ultimate treasures that corresponded to both arts. The ultimate treasure corresponding to their talismanic arts was called “Seal Abyss”, and the one corresponding to their ability to summon deities was called “Command Deity”.

Seal Abyss could seal anything and everything. It could trap an entire corner of the world and seal deities. It was mostly a defensive treasure.

Command Deity could be used to command celestials, demons, ghosts and gods. When it appeared, all of the world bowed their heads before them. Its offensive power was unparalleled.

Seal Abyss and Command God were the symbols and ultimate treasures of the Eight Views Sect. They were usually held by the sect master. As he was the last sect master of the Eight Views Sect, the two ultimate treasures were under his control until today.

Of course, both ultimate treasures were but a pale shadow of what they used to be. In ancient times, nothing could break the seal created by Seal Abyss, and tens of thousands of deities would respond to the summons of Command Deity. Forget Ye Qing, Feng Qingyou and Black Robe Demon Master, he would have been invincible even if their numbers were multiplied by five.

Unfortunately, both items had lost nearly all of their power in order to suppress and seal away the Evil Infant. They were also damaged to a significant degree. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be running away.

Even now, he wasn’t trying to kill his enemy. He was only hoping to stall them. Worst case scenario, he could at least buy enough time for him to escape.

Although this mysterious man was also a Sage, Yan Guhui did not believe that he was stronger than the young man on the mountain peak.

And as long as the mysterious man was weaker, then he was confident that the seals could trap him long enough to escape successfully.

Unfortunately, man plans, and the heavens laugh. What did you know? White Robe Demon Master

was

stronger than Ye Qing.

Yan Guhui was just about to run away when suddenly, his eyes widened like saucers.

A horsetail whisk suddenly appeared in the man’s left hand.

It was surrounded by clear light and seemingly flimsy. But when it made contact with the cage of starlight, it shattered the fetters of the Great Way and the chains of stars like it possessed indescribable power

The cage of starlight that used to seal worlds and deities had been popped like a bubble.

This was just the beginning, however. Not the end.

After the mysterious man stepped out of the cage of starlight, the horsetail whisk was replaced by a bloody saber.

Killing intent filled the sky, and an invisible roar deafened heaven and earth.

KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!

The god, ghost, celestial and Buddha that were about to attack White Robe Demon Master abruptly froze in place. Their immense, dark, voluminous, or grandiose energies abruptly winked out of existence.

The next moment, a bloody thread spread across all of their necks, and their heads rolled off their shoulders at the same time.

When their heads hit the sea surface, their bodies shattered to pieces as well.
