Chapter 5198 Lord Brahma’s Origins

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Yu Qingxuan, Lu Chengkong, and the disciple of the Pill Institute were abruptly thrown out of the palace. They were left in confusion, unable to comprehend what had just occurred.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the entire palace exploded, and an azure lotus appeared, filling the sky.

Countless runes swirled and condensed into chains on top of the lotus. The lotus emitted a terrifying aura of annihilation, and a wild killing intent reverberated, causing the ten thousand Daos to wail.

“What’s happening?!” asked the disciple, staring in terror at Long Chen. At this moment, Long Chen stood alone, facing the statue. His face was twisted with savage fury, and his killing intent was fully unleashed. It was as if he had been consumed by madness.

Lu Chengkong was equally stunned, unable to understand why Long Chen had once again entered this state of unbridled rage, looking as though he was about to explode.

A lost expression appeared on Yu Qingxuan’s face. The statue felt eerily familiar to her, and countless memories swirled in her mind. However, these memories were too muddled, leaving her unable to extract anything useful.

The azure lotus behind Long Chen continuously waved, and more and more chains formed.

Long Chen had no idea what was happening in the outside world, as he was a spectator of another spacetime. He watched helplessly as that world was taken away, compressed into a scroll.

Long Chen knew that this baby’s cry was the birth of the Pill Sovereign. Just as she was reborn, Lord Brahma caught her, destroying both her and the world she was born into.

Though the Pill Sovereign’s body was destroyed, her soul escaped into reincarnation once again. The scene before Long Chen shifted. This time, he saw a sixteen-year-old maiden.

Despite her age, her cultivation base was already at the Human Emperor realm. Standing before her was a white-robed, long-haired man.

This man had narrow eyes and a slightly sharp chin. He was very handsome, but his face was devoid of any emotion. He was Lord Brahma. It was the second time Long Chen had seen him. Previously, he had only seen Lord Brahma’s silhouette, but now, he saw him clearly. The sight of Lord Brahma made Long Chen’s entire body quiver with rage, his killing intent threatening to burst out of him.

“Master, stop struggling. There’s no point in it. Even if only a trace of my Yuan Spirit remains, there is no place for you in the nine heavens and ten lands any longer. Why not just accompany him in peace?” said Lord Brahma calmly.

“Shut your mouth, you brute! He won’t die. One day, he will return to the peak of the nine heavens and settle this debt! When that time comes, the nine heavens and ten lands will run red with your blood!” the maiden shouted, her voice filled with defiance.

“Master, you’re angry. When I sneak attacked you, you weren’t this angry. It seems you’ve changed after reincarnating,” remarked Lord Brahma.

Seeing her fury, Lord Brahma shook his head and smiled derisively. “What eternal Pill Sovereign? All lies. Even if you obtained the Sovereign radiance of the nine heavens, claiming to have the same lifespan as heaven and earth, you’re still going to die. But don’t worry, after your death, the title of Pill Sovereign will be inherited by your most outstanding disciple. The position of Pill Sovereign in the nine heavens will not remain vacant.”

“Tell me, where are Fei Xing and Rui Yue?” asked the maiden.

“Even at this time, you still care about eldest apprentice-brother and junior apprentice-sister? It seems that junior apprentice-brother Daynight and I aren’t your favorites. Since you’ve asked, I don’t dare to withhold the truth. Unfortunately, they have already met their end before you,” Lord Brahma replied, his expression unchanged.

“Nonsense! Fei Xing had condensed the Nine Star Battle Armor! Even if you and Fallen Daynight joined forces, you wouldn’t be a match for him!” raged the maiden.

Long Chen’s heart shook upon hearing this. The Pill Sovereign’s eldest disciple had condensed the Nine Star Battle Armor? But shouldn’t he have inherited the Pill Sovereign’s legacy?

“That’s true. Eldest apprentice-brother was incredibly strong because the Nine Star Master had taught him the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art. Both of you favored him. Even if junior apprentice-brother Daynight and I joined forces, we would simply be crushed by a single hand from him. But don’t forget, eldest apprentice-brother was strong, yet not very smart. Junior apprentice-brother Daynight and I first captured our junior apprentice-sister and used her as bait. We then lured the eldest apprentice-brother into the Three-Head Nine-Tail Void Beast’s territory, and… hehe,” chuckled Lord Brahma.

.

Long Chen’s head buzzed. For some reason, when he heard of the Three-Headed Nine-Tail Void Beast, he was reminded of a dream he had in the Phoenix Cry Empire after falling into endless darkness[1].

In that dream, he saw a man battling a strange beast with three heads and nine tails, its body covered in black fur. They fought within the river of stars, tearing apart the void and shattering stars with every blow. Long Chen had never forgotten that dream. At the time, there was a figure behind that man, but it was too blurry to discern.

The figure didn’t move from the start, as if too heavily wounded to do so. The man with a nine-color divine ring fought the beast as if to protect the figure behind him.

“Are they the Pill Sovereign’s eldest and youngest disciples?” wondered Long Chen.

“You really are an animal,” cursed the maiden.

Lord Brahma smiled to hear her curse. “Master, you’re getting angry again. Good, this shows that you’re no longer the Pill Sovereign of the nine heavens. There’s nothing for me to fear. As I was your disciple, I will tell you some information. Eldest apprentice-brother refused to abandon junior apprentice-sister in that bloody battle against the Three-Headed Nine-Tail Beast race, resulting in both of them dying. The Three-Headed Nine-Tail Void Beast race devoured their bodies and souls, so they will never enter the cycle of reincarnation. There won’t be a Fei Xing and Rui Yue in the nine heavens and ten lands anymore. Furthermore, after you die, to commemorate your achievements, I will change my name to the technique you were proudest of. From now on, I shall be Lord Brahma[2]. What do you think?”

Quivering with fury, the maiden suddenly hissed, “Just you wait, he has cast the flames of the nine stars throughout the ten thousand worlds. Once he returns, your blood will dye the nine heavens.”

She suddenly extended her hand, revealing a sphere that made Long Chen cry out in shock.

“The primal chaos bead?!”
