Lunar Deity said, “The Netherworld is imperishable and I will not allow you to destroy this world.”
Emperor Xia said, “I know you meant to say that this shabby Netherworld has been transformed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva into a treasure that crosses boundless reincarnation and transcends Daoism, plus the Daoist bodies of yours and Lu Ya, coupled with the circulation of the sun and the moon, this place has become the hope for you to achieve detachment. So you will not tolerate anyone who wants to destroy the Netherworld. But you failed to notice one thing, the Netherworld will never belong to you.”
Lunar Deity sneered, “You seem to know a lot of things now.”
Emperor Xia said, “You should understand that the higher one’s cultivation level is, the less they do not know. You even forgot about Guan Longzi. I also know about the Lianshanyi he created before his death.”
“This man was very strong and very loyal to you. You should not kill him.” Lunar Deity could not help but sigh when she thought of Guan Longzi.
Emperor Xia merely said, “I killed him because he deserved it.”
Lunar Deity felt a chill in her heart. She knew she had underestimated Emperor Xia’s cruelty. He was no longer moved by kinship. That was why he improved so quickly when he started to practice the Primeval Demon Technique.
Working together with Emperor Xia seemed like a mistake now.
Emperor Xia continued, “Weren’t you worried that I wasn’t cruel enough? Why are you afraid now?”
Lunar Deity sighed, “How can I not be afraid of seeing you this way.”
Emperor Xia placed his hands behind his back and smirked. The spiritual shape of Lunar Deity slowly disappeared, and the moon in the sky shone brighter, but it sent chills to one’s bones. The power of Taiyin in Diqiu city was so rich it exceeded Jing Shu’s expectation. Such saturated power of Taiyin could help a spiritually active demon to save ten years’ worth of effort.
A power of Taiyin this concentrated could not only catalyze a demon, it could also kill. Every strand of the moonshine carried the unique mark of Guanghan, but Jing Shu never absorbed even one drop of this power of Taiyin.
She flew towards the moon in the sky and covered it, causing the city of Diqiu to be dimmed down. This was when the moon transformed into a Fairy of Moon Palace and gazed at her coldly.
When she waved her hand, all the power of Taiyin turned into a vast ocean separating her and Jing Shu. Jing Shu laughed and turned into a Kun fish a few thousand miles in length. Her Qi dynamic crumbled the clouds and made strong waves, causing the void to emit a noise.
On the ground, Shen Lian never cared about the bout between Jing Shu and Lunar Deity. He told Kui Li, “The whole city of Kui Li has been turned into a large formation and Emperor Xia is the nucleus of this formation. I will see him because this demonic formation must not run. But, you must beware of his strong underlings.”
Kui Li answered, “I will not be your burden.” Her reply was so soft but confident.
Shen Lian nodded and transformed into a whirlwind. Many demonic figures appeared wherever this whirlwind passed, which were all hit away by Shen Lian. Surely, more demonic figures appeared where some went after Shen Lian and some stayed to face Kui Li.
They were all elites of the Xia Clan and were all demons who followed Emperor Xia.
Kui Li feared nothing. This was an obstacle and also training. Her Peacock Killing Method could only elevate in combats and get her closer to the level of Mahā-mayūrī-vidyā-rājñī.
Shen Lian knew very well of this, which was why he gave Kui Li the opportunity to fight.
His light travel was quicker than a flash of light. Not a single demon could stop him in his tracks, until he finally entered the palace of Emperor Xia.
This was not Shen Lian’s first time here but once he entered, he could only sigh. So many things had happened in such a short period. It seemed like a blur for Shen Lian. He never had any immense grudges against Emperor Xia, but now only one of them could remain standing. That was the helpless fact of destiny.
Emperor Xia donned his black emperor garment. He looked at Shen Lian who had arrived. His skin was fairer than before, as white as the mountain snow, so white and lonely, so hollow but profound and unfathomable.
When Shen Lian strolled towards him, beneath his every step was one lotus flower, and a soft glow emerged from him. His robe sleeves were also floating. This was the sight of a real flying deity who had descended to the mortal world.
Emperor Xia had seen many powerful Qi cultivators in his life. However, once compared with the current Shen Lian, those so-called cultivators were not worthy anymore. Shen Lian’s inhale and exhale were like the exchange of day and night. His every move could make Emperor Xia feel his hidden prowess.
At the same time, he too, felt a feeling of destiny, as if he was destined to fight Shen Lian to death. This had nothing to do with grudge, all this was a result of destiny.
Actually, Shen Lian felt the same way as him but Shen Lian was not thinking of anything else.
This feeling of destiny had a close connection with their methods of martial exercise. One was the Sky Demon Technique of the Primeval Yuanqing, while the other was the Art of Spiritual Enhancement of Mastery of Senses. Both were creations born from two Daoist Master’s hatred.
It was like they were created to compete and to determine which one was stronger, the Daoist Master of Yuqing’s or Shangqing’s.
Emperor Xia never said another word. His response for Shen Lian was merely a fist punch. His punch was like a large hushed mountain. It did not make any earth-shattering noise. Just heavy and silent, like the mountains.
Shen Lian would never underestimate the current Emperor Xia who had mastered the Primeval Demon Technique. He made a Taichi sign with his hand. The Taichi sign was like a grindstone of Yin and Yang rolling on towards Emperor Xia’s punch.
The punch collided with the Taichi grindstone dead-on, and the forces of Yin and Yang rotated like it was ripping the sky apart. However, the force of this punch was extremely terrifying, as if it could destroy the world. It shattered the Taichi grindstone, followed by an immense force being transferred from the grindstone onto Shen Lian.
Shen Lian’s celestial body also shattered like an illusion.
Emperor Xia never showed any delight, because his punch merely hit Shen Lian’s celestial technique of Yin and Yang, but it did not mean that damage was incurred to Shen Lian.
The shattering of Shen Lian’s celestial body was just a flow of events, for him to vanish from Emperor Xia’s detection.
During the days when Emperor Xia was unbeatable, he had seen too many tricks of Qi cultivators. There were some who had remarkable fleeing methods and could hide in the void, but no one could vanish so thoroughly.
This was Diqiu, Emperor Xia’s territory of many years. He may not have had united the country like Tianyi, but any outsider who came would not go unnoticed with his current cultivation level. There was physically nobody who could vanish from his eyes so thoroughly.
Today Shen Lian achieved this feat. Even though Emperor Xia was his opponent, he could not help but felt impressed by him.
The more impressed he felt, the stronger his attacks were. The demonic blade appeared in his hand. As Emperor Xia swung his blade once in the void, that swing of the blade instantly multiplied into a hundred twenty-nine thousand and six hundred blades.
The gleam of the blade tainted every inch of the void without missing any spot. The dimensions around it instantly turned into a formless mass.
