Bank of the Universe - Chapter 450

Chapter 450: Heaven Emperor City!

It was a battle all around and they were fighting intensely. Especially Blood Dragon, who in front of everyone, grabbed the Gu Family old ancestor and ripped him apart. Blood rained down.

Tian Guangming’s eyelids jumped. That was too brutal. He couldn’t offend this person.

Blood Dragon didn’t know that he had entered Tian Guangming’s list of people who he couldn’t offend.

He ripped apart the old ancestor and went to find someone else.

Kill!

Everywhere Blood Dragon passed became really gory and bloody. The more he killed, the more excited he became. He actually broke through to Destiny Realm because of all the killing.

Tian Guangming was envious.

In the distance, Heaven Heart and the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple old monk were battling. He used his buddha demon body to kill the old monk.

Lucifer didn’t say a word, using the Light and Darkness Body and its invincible strength to smash the enemy.

Only the old priest was really calm. He dragged out four Destiny Realm experts alone and didn’t demand to kill them. He just dragged them down and waited for the others to deal with their opponents.

Northern Region Lord targetted one of the stage two experts to see whether or not he could use him to break through.

The other people each handled one stage one.

Next, it was Blood Dragon’s time to kill.

Blood Dragon who broke through to Destiny Realm killed people extremely quickly.

…

Tian Guangming looked at Blood Dragon’s killing and in his heart, Blood Dragon’s position increased once more.

He could offend anyone but Blood Dragon.

It was too violent…

The 15 factions and dozens of Destiny Realm suffered heavy losses. Only a few people were let go and the rest were all killed.

This was a one-sided killing.

Barbarian God Hall priest looked at the situation and asked, “It ends just like that?”

“Yes, it has ended.” Tian Guangming was stunned too but he calmed down quickly.

But the priest wasn’t calm.

The 15 families that he had been worried about were solved by Heaven Heart and the others just like that.

These people were even able to kill stage one and two Destiny Realm experts at Emperor Realm.

In past stories, only a top genius could do that.

The bunch of people in front of him were all top geniuses.

Barbarian God Hall priest turned his head and looked at Tian Guangming. He thought about it and pulled Tian Guangming out from the group.

Tian Guangming didn’t know that he was not a part of the geniuses. He said, “You don’t have to worry about these 15 families. We have completed Master’s mission and fulfilled the promise. Now, you need to give us all of Barbarian God Hall’s treasures.”

This was emphasized in the contract.

“No problem, I will prepare everything and won’t miss anything out. Once this matter ends, we will head to the treasury together.” Barbarian God Hall priest said firmly.

Tian Guangming nodded his head in satisfaction. At that moment, he saw Blood Dragon return and asked, “Are you heading to the treasury?”

Blood Dragon shook his head, “I will find a place to cultivate. I feel like I have improved a lot.”

After breaking through to Destiny Realm, some memories awakened in Blood Dragon’s mind.

Legacy memory!

It came from the only senior in the dragon race, the last Blood Dragon.

This was someone on the level of a god beast. When one reached a certain realm, one would awaken memories that would allow him to improve and climb smoothly.

Blood Dragon didn’t go and Heaven Heart rejected too when he returned, “You can go. Anyway, you have a celestial artifact and can collect them all. I will take a look at the stone city.”

The others rejected too.

“I don’t really care about treasures.” The old priest waved his hand.

“Naturally, Tian Guangming would collect Master’s treasures.” Northern Region Lord smiled and said.

“Master, you go. I won’t go.” Li Wuya rejected.

Lucifer didn’t say a word and ignored Tian Guangming.

Tian Guangming and the Barbarian God Hall priest went to the treasury alone to keep all the treasures.

…

Stone City!

Heaven Heart and the others came here to analyze and saw that a corner of the stone city appeared out of space. The city gates were closed and one couldn’t enter.

The Barbarian God Hall people studied it for a long time but they had no idea.

“We don’t understand the words on this and there are few records in the books. We are just guessing, so our progress is quite slow.” A Barbarian God Hall emperor said regretfully.

Heaven Heart looked at those words and he frowned, “It is not our language. It is also different from those from before us.”

“Then, what should we do?” An old priest asked.

“You don’t recognize it?” Heaven Heart asked the four angels.

They all shook their heads.

“This isn’t from the god race and it isn’t what the angels used. It is not from the last eon either. It should be from when this eon just started. It might be of the stone race?” Moon Angel Usuna said coldly.

“This is tough.” Northern Region Lord sighed.

“Let me ask Master.” Heaven Heart saw that everyone had no idea, so he thought about Li Xiandao right away.

In the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao and Seven sat together to look at the stone city.

Li Xiandao looked carefully at those mysterious words. He shook his head. There were no such records in Ten Thousand Country Book Depository.

“Do you know it?” Li Xiandao asked Seven.

Seven nodded her head and recalled, “A supreme expert invented this. It is of the stone race and I studied it previously.”

Li Xiandao smiled, “As expected from Seven. You are so knowledgeable. I am so impressed by you.”

She rolled her eyes at Li Xiandao, “When you are impressed by me? Can your hands not randomly move around?”

Li Xiandao smiled and retracted his hand.

Heaven Heart sent news, “Master, this stone city is half stuck in space and the part that fell has a tightly shut gate and we can’t enter. What should we do?”

Li Xiandao looked at Seven and told Seven to reply. He also didn’t understand the language of the stone race.

Seven said, “This is the stone race’s language and it is a rare type, so it is expected that all of you don’t recognize it. The few words on the gate say Heaven Emperor City!”

Li Xiandao frowned. Heaven Emperor City… That was such a long name.

“Below Heaven Emperor City is a line of words, when translated it says that, “Anyone who enters and is fated will get lucky.” Seven looked at the stone race words and translated.

“Not anyone can just enter. Only the fated can.” Heaven Heart understood.

“All of you try and see if you are fated. If you enter, remember to find the stone flame.” Li Xiandao added.

Heaven Heart nodded, “Don’t worry Master, I will make the stone flame my first target.”

Li Xiandao cut off the call with Heaven Heart and asked Seven, “Can I go try? What if I am the fated person?”

Seven shook her head and said solemnly, “I recommend you not to go. The master of the city is the supreme expert of the stone race and is also another heaven emperor. It is best not to go to such a city.”

Chapter 451: This Stone City Has A Unique Taste!

Li Xiandao extinguished his thoughts of heading to stone city to take a look.

Seven was right. Since the Master of the stone city was a supreme expert, he definitely wouldn’t be able to survive against him.

It was really safe hiding in the Bank of the Universe, but the moment he entered the stone city, if he was not careful and didn’t return back in time, he wouldn’t be the match of this stone race expert at all.

So, Li Xiandao stuck with Seven and continued to look at those scenes.

…

In front of the stone city, after Heaven Heart and Li Xiandao talked, he told everyone the news.

“Fated people can enter. Your Barbarian God Hall observed for so many days, so is anyone fated?” Northern Region Lord asked the Barbarian God Hall’s emperor realm expert.

The Barbarian God Hall expert said regretfully, “Unfortunately, none of us are fated.”

Blood Dragon frowned, “There are so many in Barbarian God Hall and none of you are fated?”

The Barbarian God Hall members all lowered their head awkwardly.

“Let’s go try. If we aren’t fated, then this is a problem.” Heaven Heart frowned.

“Let me go first.” Northern Region Lord took the lead and walked out first in front of the stone city gate.

He reached out to push it but it didn’t move at all. He used all his strength and executed the Great Dao Treasure Bottle but he still couldn’t push it open.

He tried for three minutes but he shook his head regretfully, “I am not fated.”

Northern Region Lord’s failure was like a dark layer covering everyone’s heart.

“Let me try.” Moon Angel was second. She walked out with her long legs to the city gate.

She pushed it!

It still didn’t move at all.

Moon Angel used all her strength to push it open but it still didn’t work.

She tried nine times before giving up. She frowned and walked back without saying a word.

“Let me try.” Battle Angel Michael went right away.

But the outcome was the same as Moon Angel.

The city gate didn’t more and it didn’t even ripple at all.

Three consecutive failures caused everyone’s mood to become really heavy.

After all there wasn’t many of them.

“I will try.” Lucifer took the initiative to walk forwards.

But even with his Light and Darkness Body and outstanding talent, the gate didn’t move at all.

The stone city seemed like it had no feelings like everyone was not fated to it.

Lucifer’s failure made everyone’s expression turn solemn.

This seemed different from what they thought.

The stone city’s fortune was tough to get.

“Let me try.” Archangel Gabriel stepped forth. He held the celestial sword and walked in front of the stone city.

The city gate still didn’t move at all.

Five of them failed in a row and that caused all their moods to sink.

When Blood Dragon saw that, he walked out and walked in front of the gate.

Hong long long!

Blood Dragon took out all his potential and wanted to push it open.

But the city gate still didn’t move, like outside strength wouldn’t change it at all.

Blood Dragon failed.

Blood Dragon who reached Destiny Realm couldn’t push the city gate open.

Six people failed in a row.

Everyone looked at the remaining three.

Heaven Heart, Old priest, Li Wuya.

“Let me try.” Li Wuya took in a deep breath, walking forwards nad pushing the city gate.

It didn’t move!

It didn’t move at all!

The city gate just looked at them so coldly.

The old priest stepped forwards but he failed too.

The city gate was really infuriating and it was a dark shadow on all of their hearts.

Only Heaven Heart was left.

Heaven Heart walked in front of the city gate.

He reached out to push it.

It didn’t move at all!

Heaven Heart used all his strength and used up all of his true qi.

But the stone city didn’t move a single bit!

Nine people all failed.

None of them were fated.

Since none of them were fated, then no one could enter the stone city and get the stone flame that Li Xiandao needed.

This was someting that neither Li Xiandao and Seven who were in the Bank of the Universe expected.

None of his shockingly talented subordinates were fated?

“None of my subordinates reach the requirement?” Li Xiandao was shocked and he had no plans at all.

“Who knows what kind of conditions the Heaven Emperor wants for fated people?” Seven’s brow furrowed. It was obvious that she didn’t expect this Heaven Emperor to have such high demands.

“What should we do?” Li Xiandao asked Seven.

Seven looked at Li Xiandao innocently. There was nothing she could do.

In front of stone city, the bunch of them looked at one another and didn’t know what to say.

Any one of them could suppress many people and they were all top geniuses. But in front of the stone city, none of them were fated.

“What are the conditions for one to be fated?” Heaven Heart was confused.

“I don’t know.” The old priest shook his head.

“If we can’t enter and get the stone flame, we will affect Master’s cultivation.” Lucifer said.

The moment he said that, everyone shook their heads and sighed.

“Oi, what is up with all of you?” Tian Guangming and the priest just returned from the treasury and had huge gains. He was delighted but when he saw his disciple and friends all down, he asked curiously.

Heaven Heart looked at Tian Guangming and didn’t want to say anything.

“What happened?” Tian Guangming asked.

No one wanted to reply him and none of them were in a good mood.

“Master, this is what happened…” Li Wuya was the one to explain to his Master.

Tian Guangming heard it and his expression turned solemnly. He then said righteously, “Have all of you forgotten about me?”

Shua!

Everyone looked towards Tian Guangming in disbelief and suspicion.

Tian Guangming patted his chest, “I haven’t tried yet.”

“If all of us can’t, what about you?” Lucifer shook his head and felt like Tian Guangming couldn’t do it.

“Tian Guangming, you can try but don’t have too much hope.” Heaven Heart didn’t care and he too felt like Tian Guangming couldn’t do it either.

Out of these people, no one felt that Tian Guangming could open it.

Of course, that included Tian Guangming’s precious disciple Li Wuya.

“Master, go and try.” Li Wuya said. He just wanted his Master to give up.

Tian Guangming also knew that they all felt that he wouldn’t succeed and that annoyed him, especially his disciple Li Wuya. Others didn’t believe him, but as his disciple, couldn’t he have some confidence in his Master?

Tian Guangming took in a deep breath. He had to work hard and regain his dignity.

He walked in front of the city gate. Tian Guangming looked at the tightly shut gate and pushed it strongly.

Hong long long!

It opened right away. Tian Guangming used too much strength and fell to the ground.

Heaven Heart and the others were stunned.

“Is this the so-called fated person?” Heaven Heart’s mouth twitched.

“This stone race expert has a heavy taste.” Lucifer dissed.

“The way he fell looks a little weird.” Moon Angel dissed.

As for Li Wuya, he cheered and felt happy for his Master.

Tian Guangming climbed up and looked at all their sour expressions. He smiled, “I am the fated person. All you not fated people help me guard the area.”

Chapter 452: Old Man!

Tian Guangming walked into the stone city in glee. He looked at the people behind and waved his hands, “Don’t worry, I will take the stone flame out and pass it to Master.”

Heaven Heart sighed helplessly. He didn’t bother to look at Tian Guangming brag.

Peng!

When Tian Guangming entered the stone city, the doors were shut right away. The heavy thud terrified him and when he turned his head, he realized that the path ahead was pitch black.

Apart from the corner that fell down, the other parts were hidden.

The space was dark so the stone city was dark too apart from this corner. Tian Guangming gulped. He regretted not pulling his disciple in.

In the pitch-black stone city, soul scouting was useless too.

Tian Guangming tried to use his bright light true qi to light up the area but his light could only light up 100 meters.

On the outside world, Tian Guangming’s light could cover 3,000 miles. It could even change the sky from day to night.

But here, he was only able to light up 100 meters.

As there was no spiritual energy here, all of this was supported by Tian Guangming’s own true qi.

“100 meters… so be it, better than nothing.” Tian Guangming muttered. He started to move from that corner towards the dark city.

The dark city, 100 meters, a decently sized region. Tian Guangming looked on closely.

At that moment, he didn’t dare act arrogantly and instead became really careful.

After all, his own life was the most important.

Within the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao and Seven saw the situation within the stone city.

The two of them looked on carefully.

“The stone city has been through many wars and it seems riddled by those marks.” Seven said.

Li Xiandao looked on with all his focus, “Let’s see what Tian Guangming would face. I didn’t expect the fated person the stone race Heaven Emperor was referring to was actually Tian Guangming.”

Seven smiled.

She said, “I didn’t expect that either but Tian Guangming isn’t bad too okay… He has been unlucky and now that he has met a good opportunity, as his Master, you are talking bad about him behind his back.”

Li Xiandao thought about how tough it was all this way for Tian Guangming but he still looked on carefully. Tian Guangming’s luck hadn’t been good, so he didn’t have high hopes for him this time.

Seven burst out laughing. She thought back to how Tian Guangming searched for a primordial divinity and then found a female angel’s one. He nearly changed his gender and she couldn’t help but smile.

“One can’t always be unlucky. It is time for Tian Guangming to get lucky.” Seven said.

Li Xiandao didn’t care and continued with his doubtful attitude.

The two of them were speaking. Whether Tian Guangming was lucky or unlucky, he had already improved a lot.

The stone city was silent, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Tian Guangming walked on and stopped being afraid.

He walked for so long and all sounds were made by him.

There weren’t any other sounds.

He looked carefully at the streets and houses and didn’t notice anyone.

He didn’t even see a single cockroach.

The entire stone city was as silent as death.

Tian Guangming started to search boldly for the stone flame that Li Xiandao needed.

The stone city was huge and this had to be a giant stone race city. It was vast, the streets were wide and there were countless amounts of houses. Tian Guangming walked on just like that and a while later, he saw a giant square.

The center of it was connected to all areas. In the middle, there was a statue.

The statue was of a majestic male but it was weird that the other parts were exquisitely carved. Even small threads and lines were carved and only his face wasn’t. He had no features and it seemed really outstanding compared to everything else.

What shocked Tian Guangming was that he also saw a bunch of people kneeling towards this statue.

Right humans!

Tian Guangming looked on from afar. They were exactly like humans but when he got close, he realized that they were all stone people.

The people in the city all worshipped this statue.

Those scenes were forever fixed like that.

Tian Guangming looked on carefully and didn’t notice anything. When he was prepared to search, at that moment, a voice shocked him.

“Young man, what are you looking for?”

That voice was old and weak, like a candle in the wind that could extinguish at any moment.

Tian Guangming was frightened and immediately looked at that faceless statue.

A person walked over slowly.

He was as thin as a skeleton. His aura was weak and he looked like he could die at any moment.

This was an old man who looked like he had been buried for a few hundred years and then dug out. There were a few strands of hair that looked like they could fall off right away. His clothes were torn and tattered and those parts that were revealed were ashen white.

This old man’s flesh was mostly decomposed and only white bones were left. Even those parts that weren’t were just covered in a layer of shriveled, dead meat.

Tian Guangming asked solemnly, “Who are you?”

“I forgot my own name.” The old man cried.

Tian Guangming frowned, “Why are you here?”

“I entered this space by mistake and was swept in by wind and wasn’t able to break free. I was lost in this damn city.” The old man cried. He stammered like a person speaking his final words.

“Over these years, as this place had no spiritual energy and one couldn’t cultivate, I relied on my own cultivation to last until now. Now, I turned into this, not a human, not a ghost.” The old man was crying but no tears fell down. His eyes even turned into holes that were empty.

“Do you know if there is a flame here?” Tian Guangming had an idea and asked.

“Stone flame?” The old man stopped and said.

“Right, stone flame.” Tian Guangming nodded.

“In the city lord’s residence, there is a ball of it.” The old man trembled and pointed.

Tian Guangming looked at how tough it was for him and wanted to tell him to stop. What if he broke his arm? His arm wouldn’t just be fractured, but it would snap.

“But it is useless even if you get it. This city is sealed so no one can go out.” The old man said regretfully.

“Do you know how I got in?” Tian Guangming laughed.

The old man was stunned and then it seemed like he had hope. He rushed to Tian Guangming and asked, “You didn’t enter by accident?”

“Of course not, I am a fated person.” Tian Guangming said.

“Can you help me?” The old man begged.

“Of course, it is not for nothing. I have many treasures outside. Let me tell you the address, you can collect the treasure and then come to save me.” The old man added.

“Why don’t you follow me out?” Tian Guangming asked curiously.

“If I go out like this I will die right away. My soul has dried up and I can barely survive for a while in this dead city with no spiritual energy. If I go out and the spiritual energy surges at me, I won’t be able to handle it.” The old man explained the reason.

Chapter 453: Tian Guangming Only Thought About The Treasure!

Tian Guangming was confused, “If you aren’t going out, then why do you want me to help you?”

The old man said, “There are many things you can do. I need a corpse, not a body of a live person. As long as it is a male that has been dead for no more than three days.”

“You want me to bring a corpse for you so that you can possess it?” Tian Guangming wasn’t a fool and guessed it right away.

“Right, I will give you an ocean of resources. There are also celestial world celestial crystals that I hid. Take them and then bring a corpse back here to save me.” The old man nodded.

When Tian Guangming heard this, he started to have many thoughts.

That deal could be done, it was a sure win deal.

He could easily enter and exit the stone city and he wasn’t under much pressure.

“Are you not afraid that I am a cheat? That I would take your resources, treasures, and run without returning?” Tian Guangming asked.

“Who knows how many years I have spent in this dead city and you are the first person I have seen? I am already at my limit and if you don’t come back, there is also nothing I can do to you.” The old man said.

“I am betting, betting that you have a good personality. If you are nice, then I’ll continue to live. If you are not, then I have no choice and I have to accept that I am unlucky.” The old man said honestly.

Tian Guangming heard it and realized that the old man was right.

“Then you are lucky to meet me. I might not be nice in other areas but my personality is definitely good.” Tian Guangming said with pride.

“Then, I will now tell you the addres. A large portion of my treasures are hidden inside there.” The old man immediately revealed the location of his treasure.

Tian Guangming listened on and nodded his head, memorizing the location.

“Okay, I have remembered it. Once I get the stone flame I will rush there. Once I notice it and if it is real, I will fulfil my promise.” Tian Guangming swore.

“Okay, the stone flame is in the city lord’s residence. Go right away.” The old man rushed him.

Tian Guangming became more at ease because of that. Since the old man was about to die, if he was not anxious then that would make Tian Guangming uneasy.

“Wait here, I will head to the residence.” Tian Guangming quickly dashed towards where the old man was pointing and saw a majestic palace.

City Lord residence!

There was no one in the entire city. Tian Guangming entered it easily and found the blazing stone flame.

It was inside the body of a stone person. Even if there was no spiritual energy here, the stone flame continued to burn.

The death of the stone man gave birth to the spark.

It wasn’t that sort of flame that would spread 1,000 miles as after that kind of flame burned for an hour, it would extinguish.

This flame wouldn’t unless its potential was used up.

But its potential was immense.

For example, the stone man was extremely strong, otherwise, the flame wouldn’t have been burning after so many years.

Tian Guangming didn’t care about all that. He kept the flame and stored it in the Heaven Emperor Brush. This was what Master needed and he couldn’t lose it.

After doing all that, Tian Guangming didn’t leave right away. He searched around and after ensuring that there were no treasures, he left regretfully.

“Luckily, there is an old man’s treasure that I have to get, otherwise, I would only get the stone flame from this.” Tian Guangming was glad.

Right as he stepped out of the residence, there was a sigh. That sigh was filled with regret.

Unfortunately, Tian Guangming didn’t hear it. His whole mind was just filled with the treasure.

He got the stone flame and the treasure was right in front of him, so Tian Guangming didn’t want to stay anymore in the stone city.

“I will head out first and then search for the treasure. Once I get it, I will come and save you.” Tian Guangming shouted.

“Okay, please be quick. I can’t last for too long.” The old man begged.

“Okay, I will try to be quick.” Tian Guangming agreed and ran towards the corner.

Behind him, the old man’s shadow became longer and longer and it started to twist. The moment Tian Guangming’s light disappeared, the old man’s shadow seemed extremely huge.

If Tian Guangming turned his head, he wouldn’t be so excited.

But he didn’t turn his head and he was totally charmed by the old man’s promise of treasures, spirit meridians, and celestial crystals.

…

Within the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao and Seven saw it.

The two of them were speechless.

Seven exclaimed, “I agree with your viewpoint, Tian Guangming’s luck isn’t that good.”

“This old man is obviously faking it but what is his goal?” Li Xiandao didn’t understand.

He wanted a body, so wasn’t Tian Guangming’s body good?

As for the old man saying that he had no strength to fight and would wither to death, Li Xiandao wouldn’t believe that.

But he didn’t steal Tian Guangming’s body and instead told Tian Guangming to get the treasure and get a corpse back.

What was he planning?

“Let’s continue to look. Tian Guangming didn’t notice it and will head to find the treasure. Let’s see whether or not it is real.” Seven thought about it and said.

Li Xiandao nodded his head and continued to watch with Seven by his side.

…

Tian Guangming didn’t notice anything. He was really excited. He got some treasures, be it to cultivate himself or to pass it to master, it was a huge thing.

If he cultivated himself, his strength would increase.

If he passed it to Master, Master would like him more.

It was a win-win no matter what.

Now, the only thing Tian Guangming thought about was the treasure. After coming to the corner that was filled with light, he saw the gate and pulled.

Creak!

The door that Heaven Heart and the others felt like was unshakeable, Tian Guangming easily opened it.

The sunlight spilled in and Tian Guangming strolled out.

Heaven Heart and the others looked.

“Did you get the stone flame?” Heaven Heart asked.

“Of course, who am I?” Tian Guangming started to brag, “I am Tian Guangming! When I try, is there something I can’t solve?”

“I have gotten the stone flame and the stone city is empty with nothing. It is like a dead city.” Tian Guangming announced.

The moment he said this, the Barbarian God Hall priest sighed in regret. His gamble failed.

But after the Blood Dragon killed so many of those 15 families, the Barbarian God Hall would have the upper hand.

So, that was quite acceptable.

After Tian Guangming announced it, he said goodbye to Heaven Heart. He just pulled his disciple and left quickly.

Heaven Heart asked, “Where are you going?”

“Don’t worry about me, I will return in three days. If all of you don’t want to wait, then leave.” Tian Guangming waved. He didn’t explain and brought Li Wuya to find the treasure.

Chapter 454: Disciple, Did I Get Tricked!

“Master, where are you pulling me to?” Li Wuya followed behind Tian Guangming and flashed across the sky, leaving only an afterimage.

“Disciple, your Master has obtained a huge treasure this time.” Tian Guangming said sneakily.

Li Wuya was curious, “Master, where did you get it from?”

“Just now, I met an old man in the stone city…” Tian Guangming told Li Wuya about this.

Li Wuya listened on and said, “Master, he didn’t lie to you, right?”

“Lie to me?” Tian Guangming smiled in delight, “I didn’t even give him anything. I just agreed. I will save him when I get the treasure. How is he going to lie to me like that?”

Li Wuya thought about it. After all, it made sense. What he said seemed right.

“Where is the treasure?” Li Wuya asked.

“Near the Restricted Broken Mountain Range is a big formation. The old man told me how to unlock it and the treasure is within the formation.” Tian Guangming said.

“Then, let’s go and take a look. If there really is a treasure, we can really save that old man.” Li Wuya nodded.

“I was also worried of facing problems, so I pulled you along. With the two of us working together, there will be no problems.” Tian Guangming explained.

“Eh, let’s go quickly.” Li Wuya nodded. He followed his Master and flew towards the mountain range.

Restricted Broken Mountain Range was a vast mountain range, but at the same time, there were many other large mountains, so it wasn’t that popular.

As there were many monster race members here, this place was still Monster Race territory.

There were many monster race clans. It was said that there a million types of them. Normal people with low cultivation didn’t dare to enter at all.

But Tian Guangming and Li Wuya didn’t worry. They were at Emperor Realm and 99% of the monster race wouldn’t notice them.

After a full day of flying, they saw the majestic mountain range. Tian Guangming deduced the direction and after confirming the direction of the entrance, he entered the mountain range.

The plants were really dense and old vines wrapped around them. Venomous bugs and beasts were all around, but they couldn’t stop the two of them from progressing.

This was because they spent the time flying. They just flew past them without touching a single beast.

Three minutes after flying into the mountain range, Tian Guangming and Li Wuya were already at the depths of the Restricted Broken Mountain Range.

As emperors, they were shockingly quick. The Restricted Broken Mountain Range was huge but compared to the speed of the emperors, this was nothing.

In the depths of the mountain range was the monster race main camp. This was the resting ground for many massive monsters.

“Master, where is the formation?” Li Wuya asked.

“It is at that big waterfall.” Tian Guangming took a close look and after confirming the location, he pointed.

“The old man told me that we would see a giant waterfall that flows for 3,000 feet. He said that’s where the formation would be.” Tian Guangming said firmly.

“I will protect Master, so he can go open the formation.” Li Wuya looked around and said solemnly.

“Okay.” Tian Guangming didn’t say any nonsense and came to the front of the giant waterfall.

Resembling the milky way, it flowed 3,000 feet down toward the nine skies.

It was right to describe this place like that. This waterfall was a full 300-500 meters and the water splattered everywhere when it hit the ground.

The waterfall was too loud and there were no monsters resting here.

It was beautiful when one looked at it occasionally, but when one stayed here for the whole day, the sound was enough to make one collapse.

Tian Guangming recalled the words that the old man taught him and he started to use them. He gathered all the curses and sent them into the waterfall.

When these seals were sent in, the waterfall itself didn’t change and it continued to smash down.

But many layers of restrictions and seals did appear.

Tian Guangming looked at them and was delighted. As expected, there was something inside.

He started to gather more and more curses and talismans.

Li Wuya looked around warily. He wanted to see what treasure was there.

…

In the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao and Seven were looking too.

They wanted to see what it was.

“Is it a treasure?” Seven was curious.

“I don’t think it is.” Li Xiandao shook his head and said.

“But it seems like Tian Guangming isn’t under threat. Is there something terrifying in this formation?” Seven guessed.

“Let’s take a look. With Li Wuya there, Tian Guangming won’t die so easily.” Li Xiandao said.

Tian Guangming continued for two hours, after which, there was a loud explosion and the waterfall was split open like a tightly shut gate that was being pulled to the sides.

This giant waterfall was the same too.

It was slowly opened from the middle and showed the scenes behind it.

A jail!

Behind the several hundred meter long waterfall was actually a jail.

The entrance to the jail was actually locked down by several seals.

After Tian Guangming formed two hours of curses, they all landed on the seals.

Now, the restrictions were slowly being opened.

Tian Guangming was stunned!

Li Wuya was confused!

Where was the treasure?

There was no treasure and instead, they found a jail behind it.

The gate of the jail was being locked down by numerous seals.

The curses that Tian Guangming gathered were opening them up.

Hong long long!

A terrifying aura spread out. Just the bit that was exposed shook Tian Guangming’s heart.

Tian Guangming, who was at Emperor Realm, actually felt terrified.

“Disciple… Disciple…” Tian Guangming swallowed his saliva and shouted.

“Master, I am here. What is it?” Li Wuya replied.

“I… Was… I cheated?” Tian Guangming was so depressed that he wanted to spit out blood. What treasure? What celestial crystals? What spirit meridians? All of them were gone.

All that was left was a jail, a sealed jail… a sealed jail that he opened.

“Yes.” Li Wuya nodded.

Tian Guangming covered his face. He had lived a long life and grown so old. Who knew that he had actually been cheated?

Hong long long!

The energy that spread throughout the jail became more and more terrifying. It shook the area around and made one terrified.

Even Li Wuya was terrified. This wasn’t an aura of an emperor…

“Master, we have to go now.” Li Wuya said solemnly.

“Go, let’s go. I need to go back to kill that old man. He actually cheated me.” Tian Guangming gritted his teeth. Fortunately, he brought his disciple over. If he brought Heaven Heart, he would have lost so much face.

“Let’s go.” Tian Guangming didn’t bother to stay and left with Li Wuya.

“You let me out and you didn’t wait for me to thank you. This isn’t right, right?” But at that moment, a calm voice spread out of the jail and terrified Tian Guangming.

“This… I released you, you can’t… thank me in such a way…” Tian Guangming stammered.

Chapter 455: Eternal Jail!

In front of Restricted Broken Mountain Range’s giant waterfall, Tian Guangming and Li Wuya’s expressions changed. They wanted to go.

Hong!

A terrifying pressure pressed down on them.

This pressure was so strong that Tian Guangming was smashed into the ground. He stumbled and sat on the ground.

Li Wuya was also here. He wasn’t any better. This pressure made him fall as well and he stumbled.

“Master, are you okay?” Li Wuya was worried.

Tian Guangming was a little bitter, “Disciple, I messed up. I made a huge mistake.”

Li Wuya consoled, “Master, this is not your fault. I also didn’t notice this scam. That old man was too cunning.”

“Right, it is all that old man’s fault. But why did he do that?” Tian Guangming didn’t understand.

Hong long long!

The seals of the jail totally exploded. A tall old man walked out. He looked at the blue sky and white clouds and took a deep breath. He said, “So many years… It has been so long since I breathed in such sweet and fresh air.”

Peng peng peng!

After the old man walked out, he didn’t even hide his aura. He was definitely at Destiny Realm and was surely at one of the higher stages.

He wasn’t one who Tian Guangming and Li Wuya could defend against.

Tian Guangming and Li Wuya found the pressure unbearable.

“Do you know why Heaven Emperor City will choose you as the fated person?” The old man looked at Tian Guangming and smiled. He was in a good mood.

Tian Guangming was furious and questioned, “You were the one who controlled everything?”

“Right, I might be trapped in the Eternal Jail but my clone has entered Heaven Emperor City to search for Heaven Emperor ruins, so it’s not able to come here to save me. I thought that I wouldn’t be able to break free even until my clone died and I would be locked up here forever. Who knew that one corner of Heaven Emperor City would fall into this world?” The tall, old man laughed out loud.

Tian Guangming and Li Wuya frowned.

“Who knew how long it has been locked up in Heaven Emperor City? My clone has gotten familiar with the entire city and can control the city gates.” The tall old man said.

“So, you chose me?” Tian Guangming was furious.

“The others were either too weak and didn’t have the ability to conceal those talismans or they were really strong and made me uneasy. Only you, you didn’t have a good relationship with the rest, so you were the best choice.” The old man smiled in delight.

“You think that you were fated but actually you were just a tool, a stupid, useless tool. I used you to open my seal which allowed me to appear in the world again.” The old man laughed out loud.

Tian Guangming’s expression was really ugly and he gritted his teeth, “I came with my partners, so why did you choose me and not them instead?”

“They’re not my ideal type. For example, that monk, he has deep thoughts. That cold guy has a lot of dark matter and he will deduce the situation very quickly. Only you, you have simple thoughts and your body is filled with light. There is no darkness in you, so you will easily believe me without suspecting anything.” The old man was in a good mood and started to explain.

This was the reason why Heaven Heart and Lucifer weren’t fated.

They might have been able to figure out what the old man was planning.

But Tian Guangming would never have.

He paid attention to different things. He placed most of his attention on the treasure and not on whether or not there was a problem with what the old man said.

Tian Guangming was furious and embarrassed. He felt like he had been insulted. Before this, he treated being the fated person as an honor, but now it seemed like a symbol of being a fool.

The so-called fated person was just the fool who had been selected.

“My Master saved you, so no matter what, you are indebted to him. We don’t demand that you remember that but you still want to kill us now?” Li Wuya didn’t want his Master to be insulted and opened his mouth.

“I am indebted?” The old man asked.

“Your Master was greedy about the treasure and he made a fool of himself.” The old man said in disdain.

“Everyone wants treasures. My Master didn’t steal nor snatch from others. He would take the treasure and then go and save your clone. This deal was one that my Master openly accepted and he did nothing wrong. As for you, you are filled with lies and cheated him, laying a trap out for my Master. Now, you even blame him for being a fool. That is preposterous… No wonder you were jailed.” Li Wuya scoffed coldly.

“You are asking to die!” The old man was furious. Being locked up in jail was what he felt most pained about. Now that Li Wuya pointed it out, he was furious.

“My disciple is right.” Tian Guangming stood up and supported his disciple.

“Of course, I was too pure and you could say that I am a fool. I don’t care. Now that you are free, we don’t owe each other anything. You don’t have to target either of us.” Tian Guangming said coldly.

“Don’t owe each other anything?” The old man smiled in disdain as he looked at Tian Guangming and Li Wuya. He had an expression of greed on his face, “I was locked here for so long and my strength has decreased significantly. I need to swallow the two of you to replenish my energy and also to understand the world as it is.”

How would the old man agree to that?

He wanted to swallow Tian Guangming and Li Wuya.

Tian Guangming scolded, “Although we can’t beat you, we have a master. Don’t force me to call him out.”

Tian Guangming didn’t want to search for Li Xiandao. No matter what, he was greedy and all he could see was the treasure. He couldn’t see the problems within.

So, if he was able to solve it himself, he would treat it as a loss and he wouldn’t be such a fool in the future.

Of course, if this old man wanted to swallow the two of them, Tian Guangming had to inform Li Xiandao.

After all, his life was the most important thing and he had the stone flame on him.

But what Tian Guangming didn’t know was that both Li Xiandao and Seven had been assessing the situation from the beginning.

At this moment, in the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao and Seven totally understood the situation.

“Where is this Eternal Jail?” Li Xiandao asked curiously.

Seven’s expression changed, “The Eternal Jail shouldn’t be in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands.”

“It is the jail of the celestial dynasty. The jail is huge and holds many people from the celestial dynasty. Once one enters, one will be locked up forever, never to be released. I didn’t expect that I would be able to see signs of Eternal Jail in this corner of Great Sky.” Seven explained.

Chapter 456: You Can’t Swallow My Men!

Li Xiandao’s expression changed, “Is this old man a person who the Celestial Dynasty locked up in the Eternal Jail?”

Could anyone who had been locked up by the Celestial Dynasty be so weak?

At that moment, Li Xiandao was suddenly worried about Tian Guangming’s safety.

“Yes.” Seven said solmenly.

“Let me go take a look. If he wants to swallow Tian Guangming, he has to ask me for my opinion.” Li Xiandao scoffed coldly and his body disappeared from the Bank of the Universe.

…

In front of the waterfall at Restricted Broken Mountain Range, the tall, old man looked at Tian Guangming and Li Wuya with a dark, sinister gaze.

“You are lucky to have been swallowed by me. I will bring your energy into the Celestial World and restore my past glory.” The old man’s tone was one of arrogance.

“Damn you.” Tian Guangming cursed in rage.

“You are so bold to actually dare to scold me?” The old man couldn’t take it. He didn’t want to speak any nonsense and he flicked his fingers. True qi shot out.

Hong!

This true qi changed colors in mid-air, turning into a sharp blade. It was really aggressive and the soundwaves shot down from the sky.

Hong long long!

Like a tsunami, it begun from the blade and started to sweep over 100 miles.

This was a very terrifying scene. The spiritual energy was swept by this violent attack. Instantly, it became tough for Tian Guangming and Li Wuya to move.

The two emperors were suppressed such that they couldn’t move.

From that, one could see how strong the aura was.

Among which, Li Wuya was even peak emperor.

“Overlord Blade, block it.” Li Wuya hollered and activated the Overlord Blade. The blade light exploded from it and slashed forwards.

As the weapon of an ancient expert, the Overlord Blade was really strong. Now that Li Wuya injected all his true qi and activated its strength…

Hong long long!

Thousands of blade lights slashed out.

Like a sharp blade ocean, it was really violent and at that moment, the tsunami was sliced down the middle.

Dong!

An energy wave swept thousands of miles and shocked the monster race in the Restricted Broken Mountain Range. They all panicked and didn’t dare to get close. This was the strength caused after a peak emperor activated the Overlord Blade.

Even a peak emperor realm monster was terrified and retreated.

The old man stared at the Overlord Blade and was impressed, “Such a good treasure to actually be able to block my strike. My weapon was destroyed long ago, so I will take you.”

As for the current master, Li Wuya, the old man didn’t care about him at all.

Li Wuya who blocked that strike was empty. He had no more true qi left and was really weak, “My Master gave me the Overlord Blade, and apart from him, no one can think about taking it away.”

“What dogshit, Master… In front of me, even a Celestial will be forced to kneel!” The old man scoffed coldly.

“Don’t insult my Master!” Tian Guangming stared at the old man in rage. He was really furious. True qi rumbled in his body and was being activated.

“To be able to be a Master in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands, he just seems like a frog at the bottom of a well. He is like a firefly being compared to the moon.” The old man burst out laughing.

“I told you not to insult my Master. You insulted him twice so die.” Tian Guangming was infuriated. He insulted his Master worse than he insulted him. He didn’t care about the gap between them two and injected his true qi into the Heaven Emperor Brush.

Hong long long!

Four seals were opened right away.

This was all of Tian Guangming’s true qi. He opened the four seals and the Heaven Emperor Brush became translucent, giving off a purple glow. It flew out of his brow and exploded.

“Die!”

The Heaven Emperor Brush slashed viciously.

An invisible but terrifying power landed on the old man’s body, causing his expression to change. He felt like death energy was spreading.

“Scram, I didn’t even fall to any tribulation, so don’t think about using such techniques to deal with me.” The old man forced the death energy out of his body right away and hollered.

The Heaven Emperor Brush didn’t care and slashed in the air.

Crack crack!

The air was like a white paper that cracked apart and wanted to swallow the old man.

“Celestial Artifact, another Celestial Artifact. Nine Skies and Ten Lands actually had such a celestial artifact, that is unbelievable. But you are so weak and can’t use it to its effect, otherwise, I’d really fear you.” The old man laughed. His aura spread out and he teleported. He reached out and terrifying strength smashed into the Heaven Emperor Brush.

It violently suppressed it!

He saw that only four of the seals were activated, so the old man decisively suppressed it, allowing the Heaven Emperor Brush to show its might. He was sure that he wouldn’t be injured.

With him suppressing it, the Heaven Emperor Brush was useless. Its power was being pressed down and the space around started to tear apart.

Hong long long!

The old man was upside down and he pressed his hands forwards. The rumbling energy surged around him and wrapped around him like he was a demon.

Below him was the giant, translucent Heaven Emperor Brush. It was trying its best to block and it was shaking frantically.

Kacha!

But the Heaven Emperor Brush lacked strength and once Heaven Emperor Brush was out, Heaven Emperor Brush lost its power. It was suppressed in mid-air and slowly started shrinking.

The old man heaved sigh and looked at the two of them with a dark gaze, “I am at my weakest. If any of you are stronger, you might bring more of a threat. But unfortunately, you are all too weak.”

Li Wuya and Tian Guangming looked on in despair. They had finished all their true qi and had no way to fight back at all.

Dong!

The old man landed on the grass not far from the waterfall and slowly walked towards Tian Guangming and Li Wuya. He laughed coldly, “I didn’t expect for all of you to fight me not because of yourselves but because of your Master…”

“Dogshit Master, as an emperor you’re even a servant to someone else… How embarrassing.” The old man mocked.

“My Master is heroic and valiant. You cannot predict his strength. You’re not even worthy of tying up his shoes.” Tian Guangming was really weak as he stood up and spoke in disdain.

“You are about to die and you want to argue for your Master?” The old man shook his head and he couldn’t understand what Tian Guangming was thinking about.

“I have everything because of Master. Naturally, I am willing to serve Master. Even if I die now, Master still dotes on me the most.” Tian Guangming laughed proudly and looked at the old man without any fear.

“Then, you are going to die now. If I will swallow you, how will your master save you?” The old man laughed coldly and asked.

“I don’t know where he is.” Tian Guangming said calmly.

“Then, go down to hell with your Master in your heart,” The old man grabbed him. His arm was like a claw as he pulled Tian Guangming over.

Keng!

But at that moment, a streak of sword energy landed from above and smashed right into the old man. The rumbling sword energy sent him flying.

“You won’t be able to swallow my men!”

Chapter 457: Strong Old Man!

Li Xiandao’s sword energy struck the old man away and he appeared at the top of the waterfall. Light shone on his body and the rays spread down, making him look like a celestial.

From a few hundred meters below, Tian Guangming and Li Wuya knelt down emotionally when they saw him and shouted, “Greetings Master!”

The old man who was sent flying wasn’t injured. He was just caught off guard previously and now he looked at Li Xiandao and laughed, “So, you are the Master that those two pieces of trash mentioned?”

“You aren’t that strong; you are only at stage two. In my eyes, you are as weak as an ant.” The old man looked at Li Xiandao with a sharp gaze.

Li Xiandao, wearing his mask, stepped out. The ground shrunk beneath him and he arrived at the grass patch beneath the waterfall.

“Did you ask me when you wanted to consume my men?” Li Xiandao was really calm. He faced the old man, who was about his height, and stared at him with a cold expression.

The old man laughed and said, “Did I end up drawing the old one over?”

He and Li Xiandao were just half a meter away from one another and Li Xiandao stood with his arms behind his back. His hair was tied up and his ink mask gave off an ice-cold aura.

“It isn’t counted because they didn’t offend you and they saved you instead. However, you are at fault for treating them so poorly.” Li Xiandao said.

“I am used to doing that. My Master taught me cultivation and after I grew up, I consumed my Master. So will someone like me who even dares to swallow my Master bother to repay someone who saved my life?” The old man grinned. His tone was just so heartless and ice cold.

Tian Guangming and Li Wuya’s heart jumped. This person was just too cruel.

Li Xiandao looked at the old man. He had a center parting and wore simple clothes. He had many wrinkles on his face and many wounds on his body. He just looked like a gangster.

“You didn’t repay my subordinates and even wanted to swallow them. Now, I want to take revenge for them.” Li Xiandao said.

“Revenge, you?” The old man smiled in disdain.

“Right, me.” Li Xiandao nodded.

“Someone who is only at Destiny Realm wants to take revenge. Do you believe that when I am at my peak, I will crush you as easily as I can crush an ant?” The old man stared coldly at Li Xiandao.

“Of course, I believe you. People who can be locked in the Eternal Jail are all enemies of the Celestial Court. You are definitely much stronger than me.” Li Xiandao nodded his head.

“You know about Eternal Jail, Celestial Court?” The old man focused and sized up Li Xiandao carefully. He didn’t attack right away.

“Not only do I know about the Eternal Jail, but I also know about Celestial Dynasty and I know that you are in a weakened state. You have been locked here for a long time and you are probably a toothless tiger.” Li Xiandao looked into the old man’s eyes and didn’t back down.

“You know quite a lot.” The old man laughed coldly, “Even if you are right, a toothless tiger is still a tiger. To crush an ant is just too easy.”

“No, I feel that you are a toothless tiger while I am a lion.” Li Xiandao shook his head.

“Then, let’s see whether or not the toothless tiger can rip your head off.” The old man smiled.

“Bring it on.” Li Xiandao nodded his head with his arms by his back as he looked at the old man.

“Sure, bring it on.” The old man smiled and his gaze became really deep.

Tian Guangming and Li Wuya had been watching and they were frightened, so they all backed down.

Tian Guangming could only shout, “Good luck, Master.”

“Master, you must kill him.” Li Wuya recovered some true qi. He controlled his overlord blade and dragged Tian Guangming and the Heaven Emperor Brush away.

“Your subordinates are abandoning you.” The old man burst out laughing.

“It is good that they left in case your blood splatters on them when I kill you.” Li Xiandao said calmly.

Hong!

The moment he said this, the old man punched right away. His body was so quick that it didn’t leave an afterimage at all.

Several streaks of sword energy surged out of Li Xiandao’s body and shot forwards.

Hong long long!

The old man’s fist smashed into the sword energy, hitting the mountain like thunder.

That strike caused giant shockwaves that could sweep emperors away but Li Xiandao and the old man didn’t care.

The two of them clashed right away. The old man reached out and a sharp blade appeared in his hand as he sliced down.

Keng!

Li Xiandao’s sword energy sliced down, the tip striking the sharp blade, and with a crack, all the weapons formed from true qi collapsed.

Peng!

Li Xiandao flew up and kicked the old man’s stomach.

A heavy explosion resounded.

The old man’s body shook but he didn’t fly from that kick. In the next second, he took in a deep breath. The spiritual energy 100 miles around was swallowed into his stomach. His body surged with energy and he blocked Li Xiandao’s leg.

Instantly, he sliced down with his arm. He wanted to slice Li Xiandao’s leg.

Li Xiandao knew that it wasn’t effective but he didn’t retreat. Instead, he followed it up with a foot.

Peng!

His body flew. Li Xiandao’s second leg hit the same position and this time it was filled with all of Li Xiandao’s strength.

Hong!

The old man’s body flung backwards and his hand blade lost its target.

“Interesting… Your strength far exceeds your realm.” The old man was kicked aside and he spat out a mouthful of fresh, dark blood. Not only was he not injured, but he felt actually much more comfortable.

“Who knows how long this blood has accumulated for? I wanted to spit it out for such a long time so thank you for that.” The old man looked at the blood and grinned. He seemed really terrifying.

Li Xiandao looked on with a calm expression. He knew that the old man was strong but this strength far exceeded his imagination.

“To express my thanks towards you, I will consume you to make you a part of my body.” The old man licked his lips and with a fierce gaze, he jumped up and slapped down.

Hong long long!

This slap was really strong and instantly covered Li Xiandao’s path. He then gathered true qi and it turned into a huge mountain.

The mountain seemed really ancient and gave off a melancholic aura. It spread quickly and everything became totally silent. It then pressed down like the whole sky was smashing down.

Li Xiandao focused and there were two words on the mountain:

Ancient God!

The old man was the Ancient God!

His slap revealed himself and he was really strong.

“Unrivalled Beauty!”

Li Xiandao formed a sword with his fingers, using the move he created for Seven to fly up. With a loud explosion, he turned into a beautiful streak of sword energy.

An extremely beautiful, jade teen surrounded by sword energy…

Hong long long!

In the next second, the sword energy sliced the Ancient God Mountain and struck right into the old man’s palm. The terrifying aura that exuded was really strong and it pierced through his palm.

Li Xiandao broke free from the old man’s restrictive range.

But at the same time, the Ancient God Mountain exploded. The strength of the old man’s slap also smashed Li Xiandao’s mask.

Kacha!

Li Xiandao’s mask cracked and fell off, revealing his face. His tied hair was also smashed by that palm.

The wind blew and it untangled Li Xiandao’s hair. He stared coldly at the old man.

This was the strongest opponent he had faced up till now. He was at his weakest but Li Xiandao still couldn’t take him down.

Chapter 458: Breaking The World Barrier

The wind surged and thunder stormed. Within 1,000 miles, all of the trees collapsed and numerous monsters fled for their lives.

Restricted Broken Mountain Range became the battlefield where Li Xiandao and the old man fought.

Even Tian Guangming and Li Wuya were affected. Their faces swelled up from all the falling and they could only continue running.

On the high mountain, Li Xiandao looked at his broken mask with an ice-cold gaze.

This ancient god was strong and it helped to draw out his fighting spirit.

It was good that he was strong. If he was too weak, then he wouldn’t be able to go all out.

“I didn’t expect you to actually be so young and white.” The old man giggled. He had wounds but he didn’t care about them at all. He looked towards Li Xiandao with a fierce gaze.

“I also didn’t expect you to be an ancient god.” Li Xiandao said coldly.

Ancient God, in the era when the Nine Skies and Ten Lands could battle with the Celestial World, such a race existed.

Ancient Gods’ strongest point was their body; their physical body was invincible. When they cultivated to their peak, their bodies would become supreme entities.

The old man’s body had little to no true qi and it was really weak. However, he was still able to rely on it to battle Li Xiandao to such a level.

At his weakest, he was still able to battle Li Xiandao to such a stage. This was just unbelievable.

This was also why Li Xiandao was worried. If he allowed this old man to recover, Li Xiandao would definitely lose.

“Ancient God Sheng Di Tian, remember this name as the person who killed you when you reach hell.” Ancient God Sheng Di Tian jumped up, clenched his fists, and slammed down.

Great Reincarnation Fist!

That fist brought up thick vital energy and it was exceptionally terrifying. It turned into a black hole and circles covered Li Xiandao.

Overturning the Ocean!

Li Xiandao pulled out his weapon. With Great Ancient Fallen Star in hand, he swept forwards.

The sword energy turned into a surging ocean.

The sword energy contained hundreds of miles of land and ensured that Sheng Di Tian wouldn’t be able to escape. He would definitely be struck by Overturning the Ocean.

Dang dang dang!

The sword energy gave out a crisp sound.

It shook the air and when it covered the sky, the atmosphere became apocalyptic.

An ocean appeared in the sky…

The entire ocean was sword energy and as it surged violently, it definitely make ordinary people tremble.

But Sheng Di Tian didn’t have such thoughts at all. He was unbreakable and his sharp fist technique landed many punches down from the sky.

Hong!

This was a really terrifying scene. Overturning the Ocean’s sword energy was unstoppable and sharp but under Sheng Di Tian’s fists, they weren’t able to get close to his body.

Sheng Di Tian’s old body was like a war god. It was so scary that it made Li Xiandao’s eyelids jump.

The body of the ancient god was too terrifying.

Luckily, Li Xiandao wasn’t afraid of anything. He was also confident in his own sword energy. Moreover, he had the 10 grotto-heavens supporting him. From the start, he hadn’t used the 10 grotto-heavens much at all.

Apart from the battle with Fire Dragon Old Ancestor at Dragon Island where he used the 10 grotto-heavens once, since they merged with Li Xiandao’s body, he hadn’t used them.

There weren’t any suitable enemies.

The 10 grotto-heavens were strong. After all, that was the power of the 10 worlds. With the power of the worlds attached to Li Xiandao’s body, one could tell how terrifying and strong it was.

Li Xiandao had always found it unfortunate that no one could see how strong the 10 grotto-heavens were.

Even the Fire Dragon Old Ancestor didn’t force out the full strength of the 10 grotto-heavens.

Li Xiandao firmly felt that his 10 lands were really strong.

Now was the time to prove that.

With Great Ancient Fallen Star in hand, Li Xiandao flew down and struck. He smashed down. Huge strength exploded from the Great Ancient Fallen Star that was even bigger than him.

Hong long long!

Behind Li Xiandao, a giant world appeared.

The first land in the ten lands!

This strike brought with it the full strength of Li Xiandao’s first world.

The explosion of strength pointed right at Sheng Di Tian.

Sheng Di Tian’s expression changed as he sensed the terrifying power. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out blood. He knew that at his weak state it was tough for him to block it, so he burnt his own essence blood.

Burning essence blood ignited one’s potential and it made Sheng Di Tian extremely strong. With a loud holler, he reached out to attack.

Dang!

That strike landed on Great Ancient Fallen Star and gave out a low sound. Great Ancient Fallen Star trembled and along with Li Xiandao himself, they flew back. Blood tossed and turned within and his face turned red.

But Sheng Di Tian didn’t feel good either. He burned his essence blood and normally speaking he should have been crushing Li Xiandao. But Li Xiandao’s strike made him feel like a moving target which started to shake.

Dong dong dong!

Sheng Di Tian retreated. His steps shattered the ground and it caused hundreds of miles around to cave in.

Sheng Di Tian looked at Li Xiandao in disbelief. he didn’t expect there to be someone as strong as Li Xiandao in the Nine Skies and Ten Lands.

“How are you such a monster?” Sheng Di Tian gritted his teeth.

“I told you, I am going to take revenge for Tian Guangming and his disciple. As a Master, I will do what I said.” Li Xiandao said loudly and held the Great Ancient Fallen Star with his hands. He stepped out and his body flew up.

Great Ancient Fallen Star danced. It carried along with it all of Li Xiandao’s strength and behind his back, five giant worlds appeared.

Li Xiandao activated five of the ten lands and he found it unbearable. All of it was injected in Great Ancient Fallen Star, and at that moment, it was like the Great Ancient Fallen Star was on drugs. Its power was activated and the seventh seal was released.

Great Ancient Fallen Star became extremely huge in mid-air as it sliced down. The 1,000-foot sword shadow spread the clouds and mist and covered Sheng Di Tian. There was no way for him to flee.

Sheng Di Tian gritted his teeth and said viciously, “I am going to fight you to the death.”

He burned his essence blood once more. This time he didn’t burn a little. He went all out, burning a large portion of it, causing his body to return back to his youth.

“Reincarnation Fist!”

This technique was on a different scale compared to the previous one.

Hong long long!

Six giant black holes… These were the six wheels of reincarnation which appeared behind his back. His fist caused huge pressure to surge down. Its aura swept the area around, causing all the people and monsters on the Restricted Broken Mountain Range to fall to the ground. Their bodies trembled.

Even Tian Guangming and Li Wuya weren’t exceptions. They had no more strength now and hid far away. They covered their heads and looked around. Their bodies shivered as they stared at their Master.

“Damn you, ancient god!” A white shirt Li Xiandao hollered. He saw that Sheng Di Tian had burned half his essence blood, so he went all out. He activated all of the 10 grotto-heavens. Li Xiandao’s body was still shivering and for him to bring out all of it now was a little too much.

But the Great Ancient Fallen Star instantly grew to a few thousand feet and it suppressed the power.

Sheng Di Tian sensed Li Xiandao’s increase in strength and hollered in rage, “I will kill you.”

All of his essence blood was burned.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Fist and Great Ancient Fallen Star clashed. The battle totally exploded and the aura couldn’t be described.

The entire Restricted Broken Mountain Range broke apart and split into many regions.

This break caused numerous excited voices to ring out.

“Hahaha, I am finally out.”

“Eternal Jail locked me for so many years, but haven’t I still gotten out?”

“Celestial Dynasty, Celestial Dynasty, I will destroy you.”

“A few hundred thousand years… I was locked here for a few hundred thousand years and am finally out.”

At that moment, Li Xiandao knew it was bad. He went all out against Sheng Di Tian and carelessly destroyed the Eternal Jail barrier.

Many convicts were able to escape.

Chapter 459: Back To Stone City!

Li Xiandao and Sheng Di Tian’s battle caused Restricted Broken Mountain Range to break apart. Thousands of miles of the mountain range shattered and the mountains collapsed.

Li Xiandao and Sheng Di Tian’s attacks swept down and shattered the barrier of Eternal Jail.

Although only a small hole was broken, at that moment, many people escaped.

Many of them made loud noises. They shouted in excitement and vented their own joy.

Some of them knelt on the ground, sniffing the scent of the earth and tearing up.

Without an exception, they were all trapped in Eternal Jail for so many years. Until now, all of them were really weak but similarly, every one of them were like Sheng Di Tian and were very strong in the past.

So now, their strength was not something that he could underestimate in Great Sky.

Li Xiandao and Sheng Di Tian’s battle was stopped. Sheng Di Tian coughed out blood as he stared at Li Xiandao. He remembered him and turned around to leave.

Li Xiandao didn’t continue chasing. They had broken the Eternal Jail barrier and released over twenty people. Although the world powers repaired it quickly and the hole wasn’t huge, it was repaired in a few seconds.

But there were still so many people who escaped. They all looked around. Some stared at Li Xiandao with greed. They drooled and were extremely hungry.

If not for the strong aura that Li Xiandao gave off with Great Ancient Fallen Star in his hands, they would have pounced onto him.

Li Xiandao didn’t chase Sheng Di Tian because he was worried that Sheng Di Tian will join hands with them to attack him.

So, he turned around and left.

Hell demons with two pairs of hungry eyes followed Li Xiandao with nefarious intentions.

“Die!” Li Xiandao was in a bad mood because Sheng Di Tian had escaped. He exploded, slicing down with the Great Ancient Fallen Star.

Li Xiandao, who activated the ten grotto-heavens, had reached a peak in his strength. It was easy for him to kill the two hell demons.

With the strength of Great Ancient Fallen Star, he directly sliced off the heads of the two demons. The sharp sword energy followed suit and shredded the two hell demons.

This strike was fierce and merciless, stunning the other people. Everyone who looked at Li Xiandao was shocked. No one dared to target Li Xiandao.

As such, Li Xiandao was able to leave cleanly. He kept his Great Ancient Fallen Star and walked to where Tian Guangming and Li Wuya were.

“Master!” Tian Guangming shouted happily. He hid in a corner but was still affected by the battle. The ripples of the Restricted Broken Mountain Range breaking apart reached him and buried him in the ground.

When he saw Li Xiandao, he gave a silly smile.

He had to act dumb. He had caused this whole thing.

He easily believed the old man’s words and thought that there was a treasure. He unlocked the seal and released Sheng Di Tian.

He wasn’t able to beat Sheng Di Tian and had to make Li Xiandao save him.

Li Xiandao and Sheng Di Tian’s battle was so intense, causing the Restricted Broken Mountain Range to break apart.

Tian Guangming felt really guilty. If Li Xiandao wanted to scold him, there was no one else to whom he could push the blame, so he could only give a silly smile.

Fortunately, Li Xiandao didn’t plan on blaming him and he said calmly, “Bring your disciple and leave with me, this place is not safe.”

More than twenty people ran out and they were all extremely hungry state. If Tian Guangming and Li Wuya stayed here alone, there was a high chance they would be consumed.

Li Xiandao didn’t want the two subordinates that he saved from Sheng Di Tian to be swallowed by something just like that.

“Good.” Tian Guangming climbed out from the earth. Li Wuya who was beside him climbed out too.

Li Xiandao looked at the pair and he left without saying anything.

Tian Guangming followed and smiled, “Master, can you not tell anyone else about this?”

Li Xiandao glanced at him and said, “Why should I keep it a secret for you?”

Tian Guangming had nothing to say.

“I fought with that Celestial World person because of you.” Li Xiandao was annoyed.

“Master, I wanted to get the treasure to gift to you.” Tian Guangming sucked up to him.

“Can you not say it out loud? If not Heaven Heart, Moon Angel and even Feng Jiuer will mock me to death.” Tian Guangming felt depressed. He had failed big time and threw all his face.

Li Xiandao looked at the pitiful Tian Guangming and also Li Wuya who had an awkward expression on his face, “Forget it, I won’t tell anyone about it.”

“Thank you, Master.” Tian Guangming jumped up and wished that he could hug Li Xiandao’s legs.

Luckily, Li Xiandao stared at him coldly which stopped him. If not he would have really done that.

“Master, where are we going now?” Li Wuya asked.

Tian Guangming looked on with concern.

Now that the Restricted Broken Mountain Range was destroyed, Tian Guangming’s treasure dream was gone. He just wanted to return to the Bank of the Universe to lick his wounds and recover.

“To the barbarian race.” Li Xiandao thought about it and said.

“Why? The stone flame is on me.” Tian Guangming said.

“Don’t you want to take revenge on the clone that cheated you?” Li Xiandao asked.

“Of course, that damn clone… he actually cheated a pure person like me to save his main body. So cunning.” Tian Guangming was furious.

“Master, how did you know that old man…” Li Wuya asked awkwardly, he really thought that Li Xiandao didn’t know.

Tian Guangming was stunned too and looked at Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao scoffed coldly and was lazy to reply. He waved his sleeves and crossed huge distances with them. They disappeared from the Restricted Broken Mountain Range and arrived at the barbarian race land.

Barbarian race land, near the stone city. Most of the people were gone. They were expanding their territory, saving the injured and were choosing a new place to build a city…

So, only Heaven Heart and the others were there.

“Where did Tian Guangming go?” Heaven Heart was helpless.

“He probably found a treasure or a message and brought his disciple to find it.” Moon Angel guessed.

“That is possible. Tian Guangming is wary of us so he only called his disciple.” The old priest giggled.

“We are all Master’s subordinates, so how can I be wary? I didn’t find a treasure, I went to find Master.” When Tian Guangming heard those words, he retorted.

Everyone was spread out but when they saw that Li Xiandao was here, they all gathered and looked at him respectfully.

“Master, why did you come?” Heaven Heart asked.

The others all looked on curiously.

Li Xiandao pointed, “For the stone city, I had to take a look.”

“Unfortunately, we can’t enter. Only Tian Guangming is fated.” Heaven Heart said regretfully.

Tian Guangming’s face turned black. Now that they talked about this fated person, his stomach was filled with bitterness. He had nearly been killed because of that.

The key problem was that he couldn’t tell Heaven Heart the truth.

If he spoke it out loud, he would lose even more face.

Chapter 460: Heaven Emperor Has Regrets

Li Xiandao knew that Tian Guangming was really awkward now, so he didn’t say anything and just said calmly, “Since Tian Guangming is the fated person, then go open the city gates. Let’s all go in and take a look.”

Tian Guangming had to listen to Li Xiandao’s orders. He went in front of the stone gate, reaching out to push it.

The city gate slowly opened.

Lucifer was curious, “Why did the stone city choose you as the fated person?”

Tian Guangming smiled helplessly, “I can let you be the fated person.”

Did he want to be the fated person?

Li Xiandao ignored them and just stepped into the stone city.

“Master, apart from the fated person, can we enter?” Heaven Heart was confused.

“Why not? Let’s all head in.” Tian Guangming didn’t care.

Li Xiandao nodded, “This is an empty city. It’s okay to head in to take a look.”

Human Celestial and the others followed behind Li Xiandao and entered the stone city.

The stone city was really quiet. Apart from that part that dropped out of the space, the other parts were totally dark.

Li Xiandao lit up the place, the light shining all around and lighting up a thousand meters.

Everything was clear.

“Master, after a few streets is a square.” Tian Guangming introduced.

Li Xiandao walked around the city. This was once a prosperous city but it was really quiet now.

It was silent!

The city was empty. They walked to the square and saw that giant statue. Its other parts were brimming with life and only the face was empty with no carvings.

In front of it were many stone people worshipping but they were all dead. They all maintained one movement.

Everything was the same as what Tian Guangming saw.

The other people looked around and only Tian Guangming charged behind the statue to find that old man.

The furious Tian Guangming arrived behind it.

What he saw was a corpse.

A broken corpse…

Tian Guangming was stunned.

The old man that cheated him was laying there silently with no life force at all.

“Master, what happened?” Li Wuya asked. He walked over to take a look and was speechless.

Tian Guangming sighed. He was dead and his rage was reduced by much too.

Li Xiandao walked over and looked at the old man, “This is Sheng Di Tian’s clone. He entered Heaven Emperor City and wasn’t able to go out. He didn’t lie to you.”

Tian Guangming said, “He should have told me to bring him out. Why did he have to die?”

Li Xiandao checked and shook his head, “He is at the end of his life. He met you at that moment and thought of a plan to bring you in. What he told you was seventy percent true and thirty percent fake. He wanted you to break his main body out.”

Li Xiandao guessed that the clone was faking it and was really strong. But it seemed like his guess was wrong.

This old man was really smart and created a lie to bluff Tian Guangming. He used Tian Guangming’s greed for the treasure to save his main body.

Smart and also loyal.

“Do you want to destroy the corpse to take revenge?” Li Xiandao asked.

Tian Guangming shook his head and reflected, “I am not sick in the head. I am angry that he cheated me. But thinking about it, I was greedy and wanted the treasure too much. I didn’t use my brains and notice what was wrong. His plan was not good. Thinking about it, there were many loopholes but I was blinded.”

Tian Guangming’s words made Li Xiandao impressed.

“You learn from your mistakes. Next time when you face such a thing you will be experienced. I can forgive you this time, but if you do it again, then I won’t forgive you anymore.” Li Xiandao pointed at Tian Guangming.

“I promise that I won’t make the same mistake.” Tian Guangming ensured.

Li Xiandao didn’t fully believe him, he still didn’t trust Tian Guangming.

But he didn’t say anything and just walked towards the place he was looking at.

City Lord Manor!

When he looked at it from the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao was interested in it.

Within it, there was a dead stone person that gave birth to a stone flame. Tian Guangming just took it away and didn’t observe the stone person.

Li Xiandao wanted to take a look.

“All of you spread out to see if there are any treasures or other things. I will walk by myself.” Li Xiandao told everyone to spread out while he headed to the manor.

Within it, Li Xiandao pushed the door open and walked in.

He looked on silently. The lord had good taste. Stone people’s tastes could change. They had their own likings, calligraphy, drawing, tea, flowers, and gardening. Li Xiandao saw some signs of them in the manor.

But as too much time passed, the calligraphy faded, the drawings decomposed, and the flowers withered.

But Li Xiandao saw what they once looked like in the past. This meant that when there were people around, they were taken care of well.

As he walked, Li Xiandao arrived at where Tian Guangming got the stone flame from.

A stone person!

A dead stone person with a steely face. He wore armor and had a sword by his waist making him look really valiant.

Li Xiandao looked at him carefully. His stone flame was taken by Tian Guangming but he still looked forward firmly.

What was in front of him?

Li Xiandao followed his gaze.

Reading room.

The reading room door was opened. The stone person could see the wall within the room.

There was a drawing on the wall.

Compared to those crumpled up or yellowish drawings outside, this drawing was complete.

Li Xiandao walked over slowly and realized that the drawing was of someone’s back view.

In front of the guy was a majestic hall. Just by looking at the drawing, one could sense terrifying pressure.

But this man just stood there and faced it.

A huge cow was beside him.

In the end, there were four words on the drawing.

Li Xiandao read it, “Heaven Emperor has regrets!”

The only four words wrote that!

This shocked Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao roughly knew who the Heaven Emperor was. He was the supreme expert of the stone race and the ancestor that created this Heaven Emperor City.

But it wrote that Heaven Emperor has regrets.

What was he regretting?

Li Xiandao thought about it and took the drawing down. He kept it and was prepared to hang it in his reading room.

“Heaven Emperor has regrets. Stone race’s supreme expert fought many top experts alone, so what did he regret?” Li Xiandao was suddenly really interested.

Chapter 461: A Good Man Is Like That!

Li Xiandao kept the drawing. The manor was still really silent and there was no movement at all.

He strolled around the manor and didn’t notice anything.

In the end, he stood in front of the entrance for a long while.

There was no movement at all.

In the end, Li Xiandao left in disappointment.

Right after he left, there was a sigh that spread out from within the manor.

This sigh was so soft that it was hard to pick up.

…

In the stone city, Li Xiandao came to the square once more.

Everyone returned and they were all shaking their heads.

“Master, I didn’t find anything.” Heaven Heart said.

“This is just a stone city.” The old priest said.

“Apart from the stone flame, there is nothing else.” Moon Angel said regretfully.

“This city isn’t as simple as we thought.” Li Xiandao said.

“But there is no spiritual energy here, so we can’t survive here.” Tian Guangming reached out.

“Let’s go, we have searched everywhere and can’t find anything. Let’s just leave.” Li Xiandao led the way.

Everyone followed behind and headed towards that corner.

Tian Guangming was the one who opened the city gate.

Who knew what that old man clone did. The stone city recognized Tian Guangming as the fated person and no one else could open the city gate.

Only Tian Guangming could open and close it.

Tian Guangming felt really complicated. Luckily his grievances had dissipated. The person who cheated him had died and he had accepted his fate as the fated person.

He opened the city gate and everyone came out. The gate closed once more and unexpectedly, it started to move again.

The corner that fell down was slowly being retracted.

It retracted back into space. It created a huge commotion and returned very quickly.

The stone city just disappeared once more and what it left was a ravage ancient city.

Li Xiandao sensed the drawing that he kept. It was still there, not bad.

“This… It left by itself?” Tian Guangming was stunned. He just accepted that he was the fated person and was planning to enter when he was free so why did it leave?

“I am not sure but we came out just in time. If we were slower wouldn’t we be dragged into space?” The old priest was afraid and felt like he had escaped death.

No no, when he went back he needed to rest for some time. He didn’t want to think about anything and he didn’t want to do anything dangerous.

Li Xiandao didn’t say a word. He looked at the disappearing stone city and left after a long while. He said, “Since the stone city is gone, we should go back too.”

A teleportation formation to the Bank of the Universe appeared. Li Xiandao entered and disappeared.

The others all stepped onto the formation and disappeared.

They all went to rest. As for Tian Guangming, he handed the Barbarian God Hall treasures and the stone flame to Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao passed the treasures to Seven and kept nothing. He didn’t care about any of them except for the stone flame.

Li Xiandao didn’t rush to merge the three flames.

Now that he had the water flame, wood flame, and stone flame and since they were all flame seeds, Li Xiandao could merge them to melt the demon god pillars.

But he didn’t rush to do so. Instead, he returned to his room to wash up, and then he took out the drawing he got from the stone city manor.

Li Xiandao hung it in his room and looked at it carefully.

The drawing was really good and when one looked at it from different angles, one would see different things.

Seven walked in and asked, “What is that?”

Li Xiandao told Seven about its background.

Seven stood beside Li Xiandao and looked at it. She was in deep thought, “I studied stone race words and actually it is a small race. Compared to the human or monster race, they had very few people and they weren’t able to reproduce. They were children of nature.”

“So, they were said to be the son of the dao.” Seven said.

Li Xiandao reached out and pointed, “Do you know anything about this Heaven Emperor?”

“I am not sure. When I studied their language he was already a legend. Each stone race person believed in it and respected him.” Seven shook her head.

“Tell me what you know.” Li Xiandao looked at the lone person, one person one cow facing the world, and for some reason, he felt respectful towards him.

This drawing told Li Xiandao how strong Heaven Emperor was.

There was no need to describe it with words. Just the drawing was enough.

Seven said, “The Heaven Emperor wasn’t actually called the Heaven Emperor, it was because he did something which was why he had the nickname. One should say that people gave him that nickname and he didn’t say that he himself was the Heaven Emperor.”

Li Xiandao said curiously, “What shocking thing did he do to actually make people give him that nickname?”

“When he was young, he destroyed the Heaven Emperor at that time.” Seven said.

“What?” Li Xiandao looked at Seven in shock.

He destroyed the Celestial Dynasty’s Heaven Emperor?

So strong?

“You heard it right. The stone race Heaven Emperor entered the Celestial World and destroyed the supreme Heaven Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. He even said something.” Seven smiled.

“What did he say?” Li Xiandao asked curiously. He became more and more interested in him.

“For 30,000 years, no one is allowed to take the position of Heaven Emperor.” Seven coughed and acted like she was arrogant. She mimicked his tone.

“A giant Celestial Dynasty was scared off by the stone race Heaven Emperor just like that?” Li Xiandao couldn’t help but feel his blood heat up.

One person suppressed the entire Celestial Dynasty. Just thinking about that made one feel really emotional.

“Right. During those 30,000 years, the throne was empty and those with the ability to fight for it didn’t dare to sit on that seat. Only after 30,000 years did someone inherit it.” Seven nodded.

“So during those 30,000 years, everyone passed the title to the stone race expert and everyone called him Stone Heaven Emperor.” Seven added.

“These were all recorded in the history books?” Li Xiandao asked.

“Right, it was recorded. I saw them when I was learning the stone race language. To maintain their status and protect their face, apart from stone race records, there are little to no other records of it. So many people don’t know about how terrifying Stone Heaven Emperor was.” Seven said regretfully.

Li Xiandao looked at the guy in the drawing and smiled, “As expected from a real man!”

He was furious and charged up into the sky to threaten the Celestial Dynasty, that he would be supreme for 30,000 years.

This was what a true expert was like.

Li Xiandao took a look. He took out the three flames and was prepared to merge them.

He too wanted to continue getting stronger.
