Chapter 1224: Seizing the Supreme Heavenly Mirror

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Amidst the Void, outside Mount Yujing, a golden disk spun relentlessly. As it spun, it swept up lots of black light that was sucked into it.

As the golden disk spun, the black light that landed on the disk disappeared.

An ink-like substance emerged on the surface of the golden disk. Held in the middle of the golden disk, it remained stagnant, like a clear crystal.

Illusory Sun Hades was slightly astounded. Seeing this, looks of surprise and astonishment appeared on the faces of Kongyuan and the other Hades masters engaging the Great Void Sect cultivators.

“This thing, it is somewhat perculiar…” The look of astonishment flashed and disappeared from Illusory Sun Hades’s face as his gaze was fixed on the golden disk, feeling the strange power concept within it.

Although the black liquid in the golden disk was rapidly increasing, and by the looks of it, if it continues, the disk will eventually overflow, but an immutable fact was that after being attracted by the golden disk, the ostensibly world-destroying Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades faded into calm.

With a silent command, large amounts of patterns of black light started to flash within Illusory Sun Hades’s eyes.

The black liquid in the golden disk immediately started to ripple, as if it was boiling over. Large amounts of black fog started to effervesce from it, as if they were about to transform back into the original form of Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades.

The rate at which the golden disk was drawing in the Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades, meanwhile, started to become slow and staggered as well.

However, before Illusory Sun Hades could drive his demonic powers further, on the other side, the power of Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation was turning sharper and sharper as well. Disregarding the vast, boundless black light surrounding it, it simply annihilated the Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades in front of it with indomitable momentum, slashing at Illusory Sun Hades himself.

“Hmm?” Illusory Sun Hades raised his eyebrows slightly and returned his attention to Lin Feng’s attack. At the other side, the golden disk started spinning once again, sweeping up large amounts of Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades.

The situation fell into a temporary deadlock. Lin Feng, under the glow of Mount Yujing, glanced at the original body of the golden disk in front of him and couldn’t help but shake his head and let out a chuckle. “This Origin Golden Cup is nice, but after all, it isn’t really suited for fights. At least against an opponent like Illusory Sun Hades, it isn’t suitable for battle.”

“However, using it to battle was sort of a waste of its abilities anyway. I guess I’ll have to make do for now.”

Lin Feng’s gaze flashed slightly. “However, this might even bring about an unexpected windfall instead.”

His right hand controlled his own Mana; fusing with Mount Yujing and the Two Elements of Creation Formation, they added themselves to the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation, engaging Illusory Sun Hades.

His left hand, meanwhile, formed an arcane gesture that changed trillions of times in an instant, finally stopping on a strange gesture and tapped gently in the direction of the Origin Golden Cup.

On the surface of the Origin Golden Cup, in addition to the relentlessly flashing golden light, a streak of silver light suddenly flowed in the center. This silver radiance extended into the Void, and then disappeared from sight.

However, at the other end of the Void, it was as if an exceedingly powerful entity had shook violently.

Meanwhile, outside Mount Yujing, the full moon-like golden disk started to vibrate as well. Within it, the black liquid formed by sucking Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades suddenly started to gradually disappear.

Illusory Sun Hades immediately discovered the new development. After some careful sensing, his eyes betrayed a glint of coldness. “Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, your ambitions are devious indeed. However, you seem to have underestimated me a little too much.”

After ending his sentence, Illusory Sun did not speak any further as the silver hairs on his body all stood up. On the surface of his body, purple light flowed relentlessly; black light patterns covered his entire form, in addition to extending constantly into the surrounding Void.

Soon, Lin Feng realized that it was becoming more and more difficult for the Origin Golden Cup to draw in Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades.

It was not that Illusory Sun Hades has intentionally withheld his strength; instead, it was because he started to become familiar with the effect and mechanisms of the Origin Golden Cup, and consequently, make appropriate adjustments.

The violent Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades still surged at Lin Feng like a great tsunami, gradually able to disregard the Origin Golden Cup.

Although the Origin Golden Cup could still attract large amounts of Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades, the efficiency was becoming worse and worse, continuously.

When the Origin Golden Cup was no longer able to attract Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades, if Illusory Sun Hades was to counterattack, he would be able to destroy the golden disk materialized by the Origin Golden Cup.

Meanwhile, the violent Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades assaulted Lin Feng and Mount Yujing continuously. It blasted the giant blood-red sword formed by the Heaven-Destroying Formation from every single direction, seeking to destroy it.

Lin Feng’s gaze turned graver, but he did not panic for even a second. The sword gesture on his right hand and the arcane gesture on his left hand were activated together.

In the center of the Origin Gold Cup, the Void Bifang shining with silver light – the power fluctuations within grew more and more strong, more and more vast, more and more majestic.

The battle between Lin Feng and Illusory Sun Hades fell into a temporary deadlock. However, on the other side, the eventual outcome of the battle between the other Hades masters and the Great Void Sect cultivators was becoming clearer and clearer.

The line of the Great Void Sect cultivators, unable to reconstruct the Great Void Nine Holy Palaces, was being compressed and repelled constantly, on the verge of collapse.

Led by Kongyuan and Qingluan, the two Vipralopa-stage Hades Beasts, the others, including Jingyan and the other two Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage Hades Beasts, followed close behind, attacking the Great Void Sect cultivators with great savagery.

Just Qingluan alone was enough to suppress the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation; meanwhile, Kongyuan has his eyes fixed on the Xuan Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion, and Jingyan pursued Yan Nanlai.

Not only were they preventing the Great Void Sect cultivators from reconstructing the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces, the Hades Tribe masters were also blocking the Xuan Yi Holy Man and Yan Nanlai from entering the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation.

Normally, they would have enough interest to allow the Great Void Sect cultivators to go all out, and they will see who was the better one. However, right now, they were in the War of the Two Worlds, and the battle could change many times in an instant; thus, Kongyuan and the others prioritized taking out enemies as well.

Although he was blocked by their Master, Lin Feng’s powerful abilities and peculiar methods still caused a chill in the hearts of the Hades Beasts.

As for the Great Void Sect cultivators, they were bearing immense pressure now. Unable to reconstruct the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces, if not for their superb strength, the defenses would have been shattered long ago.

Bearing especially great pressure was Yan Nanlai. Jingyan, who was facing off against him now, was only a maximum of one or two Decay Tribulations away from attaining Vipralopa-stage. However, if you do not consider the Alpha Destiny Tribulation, the power of his Abhijnas and Mana was strong enough to rival many Vipralopa-stage Great Demons.

Not even Vipralopa-stage Great Demons dared to bear the direct blunt of Jingyan’s heaven-incinerating Brilliant Heavenly Energy of Hades.

Although Yan Nanlai has the help of the Great Void Seal, faced with Jingyan, it was not easy for him to fend him off either.

The Vipralopa-stage Xuan Yi Holy Man wanted to aid Yan Nanlai, but he was trapped firmly by Kongyuan. As the wizened Hades Beast roared incessantly, the white Free Spiritual Energy of Hades expanded across the sky, ostensibly isolating the Xuan Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion in an independent dimension, such that they were unable to escape and has to face the vast but powerful attacks of Kongyuan.

As for the other side, Qingluan has suppressed the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, while two Cardinal Tribulation Beginning Stage Hades masters attacked as well. Obviously, they wanted to break open the formation first.

As the Great Void Sect cultivators and the Hades Tribe masters were engaged in pitched battle, even in this moment of blood and crisis, the Xuan Yi Holy Man and Yan Nanlai abruptly jerked as their gazes were overcame with incredible astonishment.

Inside the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, seeing this, Kuang Heng, Lin Daohan, and the others felt their hearts sink. “Could it be that…that bizarre event just now happened again?”

Yan Nanlai took a deep breath. “Yes, it’s the sensation from just now again…and this time, it’s even clearer!”

“Someone else is shaking the Supreme Heavenly Mirror!”

The Qing Ning Holy Man’s face turned dark. “Even though the Dragon Tribe controls the power of the Black Sea, they shouldn’t have the ability to shake the Supreme Heavenly Mirror either. Uncle Tai Yi and the rest are already concentrating on stabilizing the defenses – more so, it shouldn’t be shaken by someone else!”

Yan Nanlai’s expression was somewhat complex. “It’s not the Dragon Tribe.”

Kuang Heng and co. were taken aback for a moment. “Not the Dragon Tribe?”

With a low voice, Yan Nanlai spoke. “This time, the feeling was even clearer. The one shaking the Supreme Heavenly Mirror is not the Dragon Tribe, and neither is he inside the Black Sea. Someone is shaking the Supreme Heavenly Mirror from outside the Black Sea.”

The hearts of Kuang Heng and the others grew even weightier. Not only can that person shake the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, he has some way to penetrate the seal of the power of the Black Sea and reach inside. Even this alone would be enough to inspire shock and fear.

“Even within the Great Void Sect, only the successive Sect Leaders and masters who passed at least the Second Tribulation are capable of freely commanding the true body of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. Who could it be…” Fu Yunkong murmured.

The faces of the Great Void Sect leaders all turned dark and gloomy; they felt extremely confused and perplexed as well. However, after a short moment, Yan Nanlai’s gaze suddenly flickered as his expression turned gloomy, a rare sight.

Realization dawned upon Kuang Heng, Lin Daohan, Fu Yunkong, and the Qing Ning Holy Man one by one as well.

The face of the Qing Ning Holy Man was ashen as he squeezed the phrase from his tightly clenched jaw. “Emperor! Of! The! Dead!”

….

Beyond the Greater World, within a previously ordinary Middle World, the scene was vastly different from what it used to be.

Mist, composed form gray light, enveloped this Middle World, dying the sky and the ground a foggy gray. Within this world of gray, there was a massive black altar, tall and erect.

The altar was three levels high. The bottom level was silent and deathly still, like the final resting place of living beings. The middle was loud and prosperous, like every single manifestation, every single living being of the mortal world. The top level was vast and indistinct, like the boundless sky.

The three symbols – Sky, Earth, and Man – fused perfectly with the Samsara of Life and Death and the Lord of the Netherworld, forming a powerful strength that gave a feeling of supremeness.

A figure stood on top of the altar, looking down at the world before him like the Lord of every and all living beings. His appearance was that of a teenager of less than twenty years; none other than the Antiquity Age Emperor of the Dead, reborn in the modern age and now carrying the nickname Happy.

In the center of the altar in front of him stood a long streamer. As the streamer waved and danced, light and shadows flashed; like it was breaking open the boundaries of the Void, but also like it was just a projected image.

The image appeared incorporeal but also solid; it allows Mana and Awareness to pass through, but it wasn’t an actual Inter-world passage.

In the image, a black-colored sea, glittering with golden light, roared relentlessly – none other than the scene within the Black Sea.

Beside the Emperor of the Dead, Happy, stood another figure. He was a middle-aged man, clad in ancient robes, his face calm and composed, as if he has thought out everything and now every possible development was within control.

At this moment, this man was expressionless, his gaze resembling flowing water. His emotions seemed to be devoid of fluctuations, seemingly stolid and unshakable, but also like his heart has already died and nothing can touch his emotions any more.

The man’s hands formed arcane gestures that were ever changing. Mana and Awareness, through the streamer, were transmitted into the Black Sea.

Holding up a half-black, half-white Life and Death Netherworld Dao Fruit with one of his hands, a slight smile came across the Emperor of the Dead’s lips. “This chance…we have been waiting for it for far too long.”

His other hand lifted slightly, and the black altar beneath his feet flew up into the air.

“Before me, silence reigns supreme; after me, no life shall remain.” The Emperor of the Dead said dispassionately.

Behind him, King Yanluo, Sikong You, and the rest were all on their knees as they said in unison, “We are willing to follow our Emperor into the Netherworld of Life and Death!”
