Chapter 692: The Script Prepared for Yuan
Taiyi Realm.
Within the Kongji Sacred Domain.
A biting wind howled. Blizzard snow roared across the sky.
Kongji Sacred Lord, Ning Wanzhu, and Mingyu stood atop the walls of Kongji Sacred City, staring at that single streak of bright light that had come from the Abyss Ruins Realm—piercing through the world crystal-wall system and barging into the Taiyi Realm.
That beam dragged a long tail of flame behind it. Its body shimmered in a blue-to-violet gradient, and its core looked like a pale-blue nebula—dazzling and magnificent.
And so it tore across the heavens under the gaze of countless high-ranking existences in the Taiyi Realm.
What was that?
Every extraordinary being who witnessed the scene found the same question rising in their heart.
The flowing radiance was blindingly bright, making no effort to hide its arrival, yet no existence could see through to the truth within it.
Even Dongming Sacred Lord, who was currently recuperating from injuries, or Kongji Sacred Lord, or the other reclusive Sacred Lords, could only tell that it was a “light.”
Visible to the naked eye—but the moment one tried to probe deeper, all one could sense was empty nothingness, as if there truly was nothing there at all.
Countless high-tier extraordinary beings watched as the meteor-like radiance drew closer and closer, until it reached ten thousand meters above the Tai Yi Continent—close enough that even the lofty “Saint-tier” could see it clearly.
Boom!
Amid a violent tremor that spread across the entire Tai Yi Continent, five-colored radiance surged up from the world’s edge, weaving and coiling together into a colossal five-colored hand that blotted out the sky.
An unknown Sacred King-level existence had made a move!
Those five fingers—like an indestructible divine pillar—curled slightly, and intricate secret runes circulated between them.
All living beings, all spirits, the sun and moon, the stars, even the starry void itself—everything seemed to fall within that single palm.
One palm pushed forward, erupting with a supreme might that could overturn heaven and earth.
Before the shocked eyes of the Tai Yi Continent’s countless beings, that unspeakably vast five-colored hand swept aside all things and grabbed straight toward the blue-violet meteor radiance!
Rumble—!
In less than a millionth of an instant—
The entire Tai Yi Continent seemed to collapse toward the terrifying palm, as if it was about to be clenched into that hand.
Yet the blue-violet radiance with its long tail of flame wasn’t affected in the slightest.
It maintained its original speed, passed straight through the five-colored hand, and continued to fall toward the Tai Yi Continent.
Soon, it reached eight thousand meters above the continent.
Another Sacred King-level extraordinary being couldn’t hold back and struck.
Blazing flames spread across the sky, rolling backward as they wrapped toward the radiance, trying to capture it.
The result was the same—the radiance slipped past effortlessly.
Five thousand meters.
Four Sacred King-level extraordinary beings attacked at the same time. The result was still the same.
Three thousand meters.
A reclusive Sacred Lord-level extraordinary being, along with the injured Dongming Sacred Lord who was hiding away, both attacked—yet the radiance still passed them with ease.
Within the Kongji Sacred Domain.
Kongji Sacred Lord stood on the city wall with Ning Wanzhu and Mingyu, watching attempt after attempt.
Their mood only grew heavier.
That light born from the Abyss Ruins Realm was even more bizarre than expected.
One had to understand: in the Taiyi Realm, a Sacred King-level existence was already on par with the Tai Xuan Realm’s Integration realm.
A Sacred Lord-level existence was comparable to the very top Integration experts of the Tai Xuan Realm!
And yet—so many Integration-level powers had acted, and not one could seize a single streak of radiance that had been birthed by a world of Integration-level energy?
What, exactly, was Elder Huo doing now?
That’s right!
Though they hadn’t seen it firsthand, the two of them had already guessed that everything happening here had something to do with Huo.
But what Huo was trying to do…
They had no clue at all.
As the thoughts churned, the radiance had already reached one thousand meters above the Tai Yi Continent.
In that span, several Sacred King-level existences and one reclusive Sacred Lord had tried to capture it—every attempt ending in failure.
On the city wall, Kongji Sacred Lord fixed her eyes on that radiance that was about to fall upon the Tai Yi Continent. Vast, immeasurable extraordinary power swirled around her. In her pupils, slowly rotating pure-white crystals shone with dazzling brilliance.
The glow at the tips of her hair seemed to ignite, and in that instant, her aura rose to its absolute peak.
That eerie light…
A flowing radiance that even numerous Sacred King-level existences—甚至 Sacred Lord-level extraordinary beings—could not touch.
If it was allowed to land on the Tai Yi Continent, who knew what consequences it might trigger…
“Kongji Sacred Manifestation…”
A blazing dawnlike radiance burst outward from her, forming a phantom holy silhouette behind her back. Faintly, it resonated with the Kongji Realm that circled the Taiyi Realm beyond the world.
But just as she was about to strike, to try and stop it—
Soundless. Traceless.
That blue-violet radiance—which had slipped through the blockade of so many high-ranking existences—vanished without warning one heartbeat before it touched the Tai Yi Continent!
Huh?!
Kongji Sacred Lord froze.
Immediately afterward, a divine intent vast as an abyssal sea swept out from the Kongji Sacred Domain, covering the entire Tai Yi Continent in an instant and radiating down through the One Hundred and Eight Heavens beneath it!
Those Sacred Kings and Sacred Lords who had just tried to intercept it did the same—searching across every corner of the Taiyi Realm.
…
…
At the same time.
One of the Thirty-Six Higher Heavens: Chongxiao Heaven.
Deep within a thriving mountain forest.
Under dense foliage, a long, brightly patterned snake slid through the shrubs. Its tongue flicked, constantly sensing its surroundings.
Before long, it stopped in front of a massive tree that took three people to hug.
It raised the front half of its body. The membrane covering its eyes withdrew, revealing a pair of golden slit pupils locked onto a dull gray little bird perched on a branch.
The bird looked utterly unremarkable, gray all over. At that moment it stared blankly at the sky, as though searching for something.
Hiss—!
The snake’s colorful back-pattern lit up, and a pair of wing membranes unfurled from its sides.
Its tail snapped.
Pa!
Like an arrow loosed from a bow, the entire snake shot straight at the little bird.
And the bird seemed completely unaware of the incoming danger.
Only when the winged snake had reached its back, mouth opening to swallow it, did the bird finally turn its head—slowly, lazily.
In an instant!
The entire forest turned gray-white. Everything, absolutely everything, seemed to be pressed into slow motion—except the little bird, which remained unaffected as it looked at the patterned snake about to bite it, eyes full of mockery.
He loved this feeling—playing the pig to eat the tiger.
Even now, having become one of the Taiyi Realm’s rare Sacred King-level existences, he still often pretended to be weak, lured other living beings into offending him, then counter-killed at the crucial moment!
Chongxiao Sacred King—an existence not inferior to Xuji Sacred King.
Bang!
The snake exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Having completed the “counter-kill,” Chongxiao Sacred Lord prepared to withdraw his power and continue searching the Taiyi Realm for traces of that blue-violet radiance.
Weng—!
A strange orb of light appeared without warning in this gray-white forest.
It was a blue-to-violet gradient overall—purple, gleaming brightness on the outside, and within it, a pale-blue nebula-like brilliance.
Chongxiao Sacred Lord halted.
He felt it: an immense, vast, boundless, terrifying will was slowly awakening within it. It seemed tired, extremely weak.
But its essence sat far, far above his current level.
Even the power Dongming Sacred Lord and Kongji Sacred Lord had unleashed during the ancient holy war… didn’t come close.
His entire body stiffened.
The gray-white overlay covering the forest snapped back at once, and even the extraordinary power he’d released was forced—under that will’s pressure—back into his body.
The next moment—
That will finally noticed him nearby.
Then that boundless, terrifying will “paid attention” to him.
It was only an insignificant, unconscious glance, yet it contained a might that “saw through the true nature.” It effortlessly analyzed his essence, dismantling and comprehending his extraordinary characteristics bit by bit…
Chongxiao Sacred Lord couldn’t move. He could only watch it happen.
Only when the will within the orb fully awakened did it seem to realize Chongxiao Sacred Lord’s condition, pausing in surprise.
“Sorry…”
The moment the voice sounded by his ear, Chongxiao Sacred Lord felt the pressure on his body loosen, and he regained control of himself.
Huh?
Though confused, he didn’t dare think too much.
The fear surging in his heart became a streak of gray light that shot toward the horizon, vanishing from Chongxiao Heaven in less than a billionth of an instant.
…
The forest fell silent.
Not long after, the floating blue-violet orb slowly dispersed.
A young man with black hair and violet eyes drifted down, wearing a black coat. In his arms he held a tall woman with delicate features and long blue hair.
But the blue-haired woman’s form was turning more and more illusory, and motes of spiritual glow continuously leaked from her.
Her spirituality was dying. Even “existence” itself was fading away.
The violet-eyed young man looked at her, grief impossible to hide in his eyes.
“Yin Ling…”
“It’s enough that I could help my lord…”
Yin Ling smiled softly. She raised a hand already so transparent it was nearly invisible, and gently touched Yuan’s cheek.
Then, as the last mote of spiritual glow dispersed, her “existence” completely disappeared.
Yuan reached out, trying to seize the final drifting trace of light.
But it was futile in the end.
He stood there blankly, staring up through the gaps in the forest canopy, his eyes filled with confusion and emptiness.
…
…
Deep within the Taiyi Realm.
Huo stood with hands behind his back, overlooking the Tai Yi Continent and the One Hundred and Eight Heavens.
Everything that happened in Chongxiao Heaven was naturally within his sight.
And not far beside him, a blue-haired woman stared toward Chongxiao Heaven, her eyes brimming with anxiety and heartache.
She tried to leave this place, to rush down to her lord’s side and explain, to let him know she was fine.
But Huo’s level surpassed hers by far too much. No matter how she struggled, she could only pace in place.
Left with no choice, Yin Ling glared at Huo in anger.
“You bad person!”
“Bad person?” Huo turned to look at her. “I saved you both. Does that still make me a bad person?”
“You lied to my lord. I’m not hurt at all!”
“Heh.”
He was smiling, but his expression stayed indifferent, his tone calm to the point of chilling.
“If it weren’t for me, that would have been the best ending you could have hoped for.”
Unwilling to listen to this shallow, inexperienced artifact-born spirit prattle on, Huo simply sealed away her ability to speak.
An artifact-born spirit that had been trapped in one corner since birth wasn’t worth arguing with.
Even though…
What was happening now was the “script” he’d originally planned to use.
“He’s had it too smooth all the way up until now. He doesn’t understand what kind of price that pointless ‘innocence’ will make him pay…”
Huo murmured softly, watching Yuan in Chongxiao Heaven.
The first time they met all those years ago, he’d already noticed some naive notions on Yuan—so similar to what he used to be.
Dao Brother, the other fellow Daoists…
All along, they’d assumed Huo paid special attention to Yuan because of Cheng Xi.
But…
In truth, he had only seen the shadow of his own past in Yuan.
Back then, he’d been just as naive, sheltered by Dao Brother and the others, dreaming of all races living in harmony, working together to overthrow the Cang race.
And the result was that the people around him all paid for that ridiculous insistence…
So he hoped Yuan would wake up sooner, and not have to experience what he’d experienced.
“This time, I’ll help him understand.”
As he spoke, Huo’s gaze shifted toward the Kongji Sacred Domain, toward Ning Wanzhu and Mingyu standing on the city wall.
A Light of Doubt avatar…
There was nothing more suitable to make Yuan “wake up.”
In any case, as long as he didn’t allow it, Yuan would never know.
It was a pity that it was now confirmed: beyond the Boundless Chaos Sea there truly existed a Dao-attaining one, and they needed to stay on guard at all times. There was no time to waste.
Otherwise, there’d be no need to rush into the next stage.
Behind him, the speechless Yin Ling stared at Huo’s back, remembering someone her lord had once mentioned.
This one…
Could he be the Tai Xuan Realm’s most troublesome, most obsessive True Immortal her lord had talked about?
Her anxiety only grew.
Huo, as if he knew what she was thinking, suddenly said, “Little one, I’m not the most obsessive.”
…
…
Because the appearance of a supreme existence forced Huo to push his script into a new stage.
Yet the living beings of the Taiyi Realm knew nothing of it.
Since the strange radiance that barged into the Taiyi Realm had been observed coming from the Abyss Ruins Realm, many Sacred King-level existences guessed it might be related to the “Third Supreme” authority.
So aside from a few high-tier extraordinary beings whose personal doctrines were extremely special—
The vast majority of high-tier extraordinary beings began searching all across the Taiyi Realm for the radiance’s trail.
Unfortunately, they found nothing.
Seventy-Two Lower Heavens: Yinli Heaven.
In a barren wasteland, atop a high platform stacked from several giant boulders—
A figure who resembled Yuan somewhat sat cross-legged there. His aura rose and fell unevenly, yet through a crude ritual constructed from scattered stones, he had enveloped all of Yinli Heaven.
It was Dongming Sacred Lord, injured by the power of Soul Transformation.
To prevent Kongji Sacred Lord from taking the chance to hunt him down, and also to avoid those two visitors from beyond the realm finding him, he had no choice but to hide himself here in Yinli Heaven, constantly arranging rituals to repair his injuries.
But the results were poor.
Compared to the injuries he’d suffered, a ritual laid out using a single Lower Heaven was simply too small.
“Kongji…”
Dongming Sacred Lord sighed softly, his gaze lowered.
He could feel it: during this period of his weakness, Kongji Sacred Lord had already worn away most of the mark he’d left behind in the Abyss Ruins Realm.
If this continued, his defeat was only a matter of time.
But…
He couldn’t shake the feeling that it shouldn’t be like this!
