Chapter 617 Grudges

In the extravagantly luxurious Heng Clan Palace in the Celestial Realm.The Heavenly Emperor Heng had risen from his reverie, dressed in his formal Heavenly Emperor robes, his gaze cold and sharp, a stark contrast to their last meeting.Below him.Heng Wuguan had activated his Heavenly Eye and witnessed everything that had transpired on the battlefield."Damn it!" The Heavenly Emperor Heng cursed, his anger flaring at the sight of Yu Shan's face.Especially since he was still putting on airs in front of him?A second battle!?Back then, he had utterly lost face!A dignified avatar of the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Realm had been slain by an ant in the mortal realm.And it was a clean, decisive slaying.Even after countless eons, that humiliating memory remained vivid!He clearly remembered that this seemingly carefree immortal had set an example for future generations in the mortal realm during that battle.What was the most effective method for slaying celestial beings on the battlefield of the mortal realm? Bloodlust?Exceeding Limits?Neither.It's the barefoot who fears no one wearing shoes.The moment Yu Shan stood alone at the Heavenly Gate, facing the avatar of Emperor Heng, he decisively threw out two immortal talismans, inscribing his Daoist name on them.Reaching Heaven!The effect of the two talismans was simple, as the name suggests.Reaching Heaven!Attaining the Ascension Realm in the mortal realm!Even someone as powerful as Emperor Heng couldn't retain his Ascension Realm in the mortal realm; he still had to abide by the rules established by Heaven.If one imitated them in the mortal realm and forcibly preserved their realm, the avatar would be obliterated by the Great Dao, affecting the realm of the original body.Yu Shan was no exception.But he was barefoot, while Yu Shan was wearing shoes.Death was death.After stepping into the Ascension Realm, Yu Shan shattered Emperor Heng's avatar and the Heavenly Gate in just fifteen seconds.Finally.The Heavenly Emperor's avatar stared intently at him, saying, "You fool!""If you die, who will protect all living beings?"Yu Shan's answer left a deep impression on the Heavenly Emperor.He stood above the ethereal Immortal Realm, bathed in flawless immortal energy.The power of the Great Dao was about to engulf everything about him.His face showed no arrogance or cynicism, only a pair of calm eyes. Coupled with his peerless beauty and white hair fluttering in the wind, he truly deserved the title bestowed upon him by the mortal world—a mortal immortal.If you die, who will protect all living beings?Yu Shan: "There will be successors."Then, the Great Dao obliterated everything about him.The Heavenly Emperor was shocked and enraged by his aura.Even if the avatar itself was destroyed, it was still just an avatar, proving nothing.But that aura that surpassed his own in authority enraged him.Death!?Not so easy!He wanted Yu Shan to suffer a fate worse than death, to be a cursed ghost in the Corner of Reincarnation, forever condemned to eternal damnation.If Emperor Heng could preserve the soul of the previous War God within the Corner of Reincarnation, he could certainly lock away Yu Shan's soul as well.He cut Yu Shan's soul into ninety-nine pieces, sealing them in ninety-nine different areas of the Corner of Reincarnation, preserving only a sliver of his consciousness to suffer eternal torment.Now he only wanted to know one thing."How did he get out?" Emperor Heng's voice was filled with raging fury, causing the entire palace to tremble.Heng Wu trembled, saying, "Your Majesty, I do not know.""But I suspect it is related to three people.""Zhuge Tianming, the Ghost Lord, and Wuwang Immortal."Emperor Heng's eyes darkened.From his Heavenly Eye, he saw the Ghost Lord.The zeroth sequence of the Ghost God Path possessed the talent to open the Gates of Hell.The Corner of Reincarnation was located in the penultimate level of Hell.Because the Ghost Lord was previously a minor figure, the energy fluctuations from opening the Gates of Hell were too small for Heng Shi to detect.Therefore, despite his meticulous planning, he never expected someone in the mortal realm to be able to directly reach his territory to steal people.However, there were Ascending Realm experts stationed at the Corner of Reincarnation.This brat couldn't possibly bypass the Ascending Realm's gaze, so it must have been Zhuge Tianming who covered for them.But the final step...Yu Shan was chopped into 99 pieces, and gathering and reassembling his soul would be a massive undertaking.Judging from Heng's seemingly irrelevant explanation, this is related to that Wuwang Immortal?Wuwang is the state that the Seven Absolutes seek.The Wuwang Immortal is born with it, and even more absolute, not only losing all senses but also the absence of delusions.At this point, one can see not only me, but also him, and the...souls of all beings.If this Wuwang Immortal can defeat Tian Can, he can become the zeroth level in the path of the soul.That's one of the most abnormal paths.But that's a matter for the future; no one knows if it will happen. What's happening now is that Wuwang Xian, through his abilities, gathered Yu Shan's soul and, using his rule-level power, rescued and pieced it back together.No.More than that.Hengtian Emperor's eyes narrowed.He understood.Damn the mortal realm.We always laugh at their lives, saying they're cheap and worthless.But what we fear most is that they truly don't value their own lives.For Wuwang Xian to save Yu Shan, he had to activate the Heavenly Cripple Technique.But he wasn't fully healed.The price was that his soul was in a semi-extinguished state, practically half-dead.But he wasn't truly dead.The Ghost Lord and Yu Shan, who possessed his body, used their respective powers to hold onto Wuwang Xian's soul, keeping his life hanging on.In short, it was a loan to save someone.And who knows how this loan will be repaid in the future.This is what the Heavenly Realm fears most.The mortal realm is a bunch of worthless bastards! "You die, he saves you; he dies again, she saves you; you pull me, I pull you, pulling and tugging, trying to drag the heavens down to hell!""This is truly infuriating!" Emperor Heng stood up, hands behind his back, and coldly snorted.He raised his right hand, and a ray of light of destiny surged from his palm.Heng Wuguan's body trembled, and he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the greater good is at stake!"The implication was that they shouldn't waste too much of their life force just to deal with Yu Shan.Emperor Heng said calmly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.""The tyrant and his ilk have never been frivolous in their rebellion.""The mortal realm had the opportunity, but it's long since lost its appeal.""The fiercer they fight, the more time and destiny they damage, the faster the day of destruction will arrive.""Every nation must intervene against the mortal realm; this is the will of the Heavenly Saint.""The reason our Heng clan is willing to be the vanguard is simply to complete this mission as soon as possible, to withdraw quickly, and to prepare plans to deal with others.""The mortal realm will grow stronger and stronger; the later a Heavenly Kingdom acts against them, the greater the damage will be."Heng Wuguan nodded hurriedly, saying, "Your Majesty is absolutely right.""So let's stop. There's no need to use our destiny anymore."Emperor Heng stared intently at the scene in the Heavenly Eye."The second war has begun." Yu Shan's smiling face infuriated him.But the facts have already proven it.The tyrant's wife has already sent a message to her comrades.A supreme-level deity will be entering the arena; winning back the fortune is virtually impossible unless he misuses it.To be impulsive, or not to be impulsive?That is the question.
