Chapter 1225: The Third Evil Soul of the Emperor of the Dead

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

The features of the man beside the Emperor of the Dead bore a certain degree of resemblance to the current Sect Leader of the Great Void Sect, Yan Nanlai.

He was none other than one of the Four Immemorial Heroes of the Great Void Sect, Yan Nanlai’s ancestor, and the second Sect Leader of the Great Void Sect – Yan Xinghe.

In the Antiquity Age, he perished together with the Emperor of the Dead – after sending the then-Emperor of the Dead to the Netherworld, he went down together with him.

People all thought that, since the Emperor of the Dead died as well, he definitely could not make Yan Xinghe into an Evil Soul and keep him inside the Life and Death Netherworld Dao Fruit. As such, even after the Emperor of the Dead was reborn, no one realized that he still has such a powerful trump card in his hands.

Being able to come back from death, the Emperor of the Dead could already be considered one of the great pinnacles of cultivation. His mastery and understanding of the Way of Life and Death, of the Samsara, truly cemented his status as the greatest in the history of the Divine Lands, inspiring awe in the hearts of all.

However, the Abhijnas, the Mana, and the schemes and methods of the Emperor of the Dead were still beyond what many people were capable of imagining.

Yan Xinghe, the second Sect Leader in the history of the Great Void Sect. In the era after the death of Wen Chiyang, he was one of the greatest titans of the Divine Lands.

Today, after countless millennia have passed, his name has exceeded Wen Chiyang, Yue Huatian, and Huang Chen. In this current era, he was the most famous and well-known of the Four Immemorial Heroes of the Great Void Sect.

Today, many schools of thought and strategies of the Great Void Sect could be traced to the time of Yan Xinghe. His influence on the Great Void Sect was one of the most, even among the generations of Sect Leaders.

However, such a titan, a man of legends and epics, has been made into an Evil Soul by the Emperor of the Dead. If this news get out, it would definitely cause an earthquake in the Divine Lands; it will be the greatest humiliation and stain on the history of the Great Void Sect, and consequently, the Emperor of the Dead will become the most hated and hostile Human master in the eyes of the Great Void Sect.

Although King Yanluo and the others were acclaiming loudly behind him, although the events have been proceeding according to his plan smoothly, the gaze of the Emperor of the Dead has always been calm.

He knew clearly that he has not yet actually succeeded, and opportunities do not come cheap.

After so many years of lying low, he intentionally put himself out there in the Netherworld Sea to be injured mortally by the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect. The Hall of the Dead was targeted for large-scale extermination, and suffered huge losses.

All of this, just to make the Divine Lands feel that he no longer posed a threat, and turn full attention to preparing for the War of the Two Worlds with the Demons.

Although he did not anticipate that the Great Void Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror would enter the Black Sea on their own initiative, but the Emperor of the Dead still firmly believed that his chance would present itself only during the War of the Two Worlds.

If there was no opportunity, he will continue to lay low, in hiding. However, when the chance appears, he would not miss it.

Like now.

If it wasn’t engaging the Dragon Tribe masters and the Black Sea now, even with Yan Xinghe’s Evil Soul, it would not be an easy feat to shake the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

Same, if they weren’t clashing with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror and the Great Void Sect masters, his streamer would not be able to connect to the Black Sea, commanded by the Dragon Tribe masters.

However, at this instant, he has the chance to seize the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

It’s just that the dust has not yet settled, and naturally, the Emperor of the Dead would not pop open the champagne too early.

With the help of special instruments and treasures, Yan Xinghe and him did not need to enter the Black Sea in order to shake the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. If all goes well, after seizing control of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, he could use the magical instrument to suck the Supreme Heavenly Mirror out of the Black Sea straightaway.

During this process, it was very likely that the Origins Dragon King and the other Dragon Tribe masters would implicitly condone it first. After all, if the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was being shaken, they would be able to penetrate the defenses of the Great Void Sect more quickly.

However, after the line of the Great Void Sect was completely shattered, the Origins Dragon King would obviously not allow the Emperor of the Dead to suck the Supreme Heavenly Mirror away from the Black Sea without a fight. Then, the pressure that the Emperor of the Dead and Yan Xinghe will face from the Black Sea would definitely increase multifold; the Origins Dragon King might even temporarily abandon the Great Void Sect cultivators, who already took heavy casualties, to engage the Emperor of the Dead first.

It was then that would be the hardest part of the Emperor of the Dead’s entire operation. Victory or defeat would be decided in instants; even with the cunning and guile of the Emperor of the Dead, he did not dare to say that he was certain of success.

Meanwhile, at the other side, Lin Feng came to the aid of Mount Baiyun. Although he was locked in a standstill with the Hades Tribe, the battlefield could change thousands of time in an instant; unexpected developments might occur at any moment, causing the Emperor of the Dead to be deeply vigilant.

However, to the Emperor of the Dead, the opportunity now was already good enough.

He put one hand on the streamer, while the other hand patted Yan Xinghe beside him as he smiled. “Come, work hard for you to become the master of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror once again.”

Yan Xinghe was expressionless, and he did not speak either. The Emperor of the Dead did not mind; with a mental command, under the effect of the magical instrument, the gray, foggy Middle World started to annihilate while the power of the three-level black altar under his feet grew even stronger.

In the distant Void, the faces of Yan Nanlai, the Xuan Yi Holy Man, Kuang Heng, and the other Great Void Sect cultivators grew even more grave.

Within the Black Sea, the Tai Yi Holy Man and the others have already been forced into the defensive under the pressure of the Dragon Tribe and the Black Sea. Right now, with the addition of the Emperor of the Dead, the situation would be on the verge of collapse very soon.

Whether it was the Emperor of the Dead or the Dragon Tribe who gets their way, to the Great Void Sect, to the current state of the War of the Two Worlds, it would be a catastrophe.

However, Yan Nanlai and the others could not even save themselves now. Although Lin Feng has engaged Illusory Sun Hades, under the attack of the other Hades masters, the Great Void Sect cultivators were all in great danger at this instant.

Lin Feng looked at the Great Void Sect cultivators, whose Mana all abruptly trembled and tittered. Although he was not aware, he could sense that their Awarenesses all received a major shock.

Knitting his brows together, he asked via voice projection, “What’s going on?”

Yan Nanlai narrowly avoided one of Jingyan’s attacks, his Great Void Seal almost being shattered. After a moment of thought, he answered, in a low voice, “The Emperor of the Dead suddenly made his move and shook the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. The situation is critical.”

“The Emperor of the Dead has this sort of ability?” Hearing this, Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment. Suddenly he recalled that time in the Netherworld Sea, when the Evil Soul of Emperor Xia shook the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

He has had his questions previously, that the Emperor of the Dead was making other plans. Right now, after connecting all the dots, he suddenly understood the cause and effect of everything.

“He does know how to seize his opportunities…” Lin Feng’s eyes flashed as his gaze swept part the battlefield of Yan Nanlai and the others. After a moment of thought, he shook his head.

He temporarily halted the control of the Origin Golden Cup as the finger of his left hand swiped across the Void lightly, forming a seemingly minimalistic, but cryptic and arcane formation.

Lin Feng extended his hand outwards, putting it straight into the formation.

In the Void at the center of the formation, ripples radiated like the surface of water. Quietly, Lin Feng said, “Little Lin, give me that ring.”

“Yes, Master.” Wang Lin’s voice sounded from within the formation. The next moment, Lin Feng withdrew his hand from the formation, and there was a purple dot inside his palm. Something that resembled a ring, with intricate patterns carved on its surface.

After examining the ring closely, Lin Feng shook his head slowly. “If it could be preserved, we could study it more carefully later. Right now, I’ll have to use it bluntly; just hope it isn’t a one-time use thing.”

As he was distracted, Illusory Sun Hades’ attacks grew even more fervent and intense, to the extent that the battle started to tilt away from Lin Feng.

However, Lin Feng did not pay attention to his own situation for now as he issued a mental command. The ring rose up from his palm, and then, a streak of purple radiance, from the same origin as the ring, gushed out from the Divine Original True Spirit Pattern deep inside Lin Feng’s Virtual Entity. The purple light landed on the ring, and the ring trembled slightly before flying out in a streak of light.

The ring did not target Illusory Sun Hades in front of it, but instead flew in the direction of the distant battlefield. Its target was the one currently suppressing the Xuan Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion with his violent attacks – Kongyuan!

At this moment, Kongyuan has firmed trapped the Xuan Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion. If he has not been preventing the Xuan Yi Holy Man from harming Jingyan and the other Hades Beasts who have not yet completed the Initial Catastrophe with Alpha Destiny Tribulation, his advantage would be even greater. However, even so, the Xuan Yi Holy Man was already finding it hard to keep up with him.

The immense strength of the Hades Tribe was demonstrated perfectly at this instant.

However, the moment the purple light appeared, all of the Hades masters, including Kongyuan, were taken aback for a moment before the shock.

The purple light transformed into a halo, putting itself onto one of the fingers of Kongyuan like a ring. The movement seemed ordinary, but this strong Hades Beast was completely unable to avoid or resist, and could only watch as the halo put itself onto him.

The three long horns on top of Kongyuan’s head blazed together with brilliant light, as the terrifying strength of Free Spiritual Energy of Hades reverberated within the Void.

However, it was peculiar indeed that fitted by this little halo, this Vipralopa-stage Demon, stronger even than the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Earth Dragon King, instantly became wilted and dispirited as his demonic powers rapidly deteriorated.

Seeing this, Illusory Sun Hades received a shock as well. A rare fury flashed in his always calm and composed gaze. “Royal Brother Tianhai’s ring?!”

Kongyuan let out an earth-shaking roar of fury, but he could not stop himself from weakening.

The ring, typically ordinary, demonstrated incredible power when facing the Hades masters.

The white Free Spiritual Energy of Hades gradually dissipated as the Xuan Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion charged out thunderously.

However, before he could do anything else, a low roar sounded. “Unparalleled Energy of Hades!”

A terrifying bolt of golden light shot straight at him. The Xuan Yi Holy Man hurriedly halted and unleashed his Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light, adding to the Great Void Holy Paradise formed by the Great Void Holy Pavilion and blocking this bolt of Unparalleled Energy of Hades from Qingluan.

The Holy Paradise, resembling the Kingdom of the Gods, was blasted backwards by the golden light at this instant as huge patches of Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light dissipated.

Although the sudden change in the situation caught the Hades masters by surprise as well, but Qingluan reacted extremely quickly and immediately took the place of Kongyuan, engaging the Xuan Yi Holy Man.

Without any communication, Jingyan abandoned Yan Nanlai as well and turned his attacks to the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, while the other two Cardinal Tribulation Beginning Stage Hade Beasts engaged Yan Nanlai in place of Jingyan.

Within an instant, the Hades masters have re-stabilized the battle and minimized the harm from Kongyuan’s sudden incapacitation.

However, the effect of Kongyuan’s temporary incapacitation still showed itself quickly. Qingluan, not in any sense inferior to Kongyuan, was still suppressing the Xuan Yi Holy Man; however, the three Cardinal Tribulation Beginning Stage Demons, including Jingyan, were finding it hard to suppress the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation and Yan Nanlai.

Yan Nanlai, with a flash, transformed into a streak of white smoke and entered the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation.

The moment he entered the formation, he stared at Kuang Heng and said, “Senior Kuang, send me away from this battlefield. I will go and use the Blood Soul Pacification Spell; we absolutely could not let the Emperor of the Dead get his way.”
