Chapter 273 Death!

Chapter 273 Death!

Chapter 273 Death!
He was not satisfied at all.

But he heard... "If we were a little slower, they might have really died"!
He didn't know whether Li Ye's and Donghuang Taiyi's magical powers could turn the tide, but he had no choice now!

So he stood up, raised his feet, and fell into the deep darkness, just as he had done then and now.

The closer he got to the East Emperor Seal, the stronger he felt Li Ye's power became - the earth and rocks surrounded him layer by layer and were then driven back. He was like a king who had descended to the sky and become a god. Wherever he passed, billions of living and dead souls trembled in worship, praised him in unison, and shouted "Long live his son".

These voices, like a will, enriched Li Ye's authority, bringing him closer and closer to the light below. [Note 1]

Li Wuxiang still remembers that when he fell like this that day, he felt the urgency and greed of the "external evil" in his heart. But now he understands... that urgency is his own, the urgency to save everything. That greed is also his own... It is the greed born out of this urgency!
"I didn't touch the Donghuang Seal today. If you ask me to get it now, can I get it?"

"Can't get it."

At this time, Li Wuxiang had already seen the imperial seal, which was hovering on the top of the stone pillar, emitting a faint light.

"So you still want Kong Xu to take it? If I really want to take the seal this time, can I get it?"

"Supernatural power cannot defeat destiny. You still can't get it."

"What do you mean? You are Donghuang Taiyi, you are the destiny, you can go back from the future to the past and the present, but you said you can't let me get the seal this time?"

Li Ye's voice sounded calm, and even seemed very patient: "My supernatural power cannot defeat destiny, which is not what you think. It means that you used your Nascent Soul cultivation to form a Yin Spirit, and I used my authority to make you go back and forth to reincarnate - your cultivation level is not high enough, and my authority is not strong enough. And now, you are angry and resentful in your heart, and you are fighting against us, so no matter what you think, you can't force yourself to take the seal at this time."

"And, not this time, but only once."

"Then why don't we just possess Kong Xu and get it now?"

"Have you forgotten that the evil spirit must be willing to enter the body?"

"Then how can we ask Kong Xu to get it later?"

"You'll understand in a moment."

Li Wuxiang felt that he understood something vaguely, but not completely.

But now he can truly feel the emotions of his past and present self within this body.

Extremely angry, extremely unwilling, trying hard to fight back!

But he wanted to give it a try!
At this time, he was close to the jade seal. The divine consciousness that was suppressed deep within his body was still struggling. However, Li Wuxiang felt that the power of his Nascent Soul Yin God and the authority brought by Li Ye were enough to suppress this body in front of him!

Damn it, supernatural powers are no match for destiny!
——I want to take this thing!
Arms extended, fingers spread, about to touch——

However, the green light emitted by the Donghuang Seal suddenly turned into sharp rays, like invisible sword qi, blocking his body in mid-air!
"Jiang Jie is here." Li Ye said.

The moment he came into contact with this force, Li Wuxiang felt the energy in his body being consumed crazily. He put his fingers together to form claws and continued to move his hands closer to the East Emperor Seal. However, within his body, his mind was rising in anger and unwillingness. He felt the power of the elixir and his own will at this moment, making a sharp whistle. Like a sharp sword, it cooperated with the sharp light emanating from the East Emperor Seal, tearing a hole in Li Ye's authority and regaining control of this body.

The fingertips stopped just a millimeter away from the jade seal, and then retreated little by little!
Just like that day!
Li Wuxiang felt that he was driven out by the divine consciousness within his body. He wanted to try again, but at this moment, he felt something in the lower world of You Jiuyuan... It was extremely powerful, like a beast hidden in the dark mist, searching for prey and about to pounce on him -

It’s Jiang Jie!
"He wants to take over Kong Xu's body." Li Ye said calmly, and seemed to smile a little, "The power is strong enough, but after all, he is still the God of Destiny, and he lacks the heat. You are ready, and you only have a moment of opportunity."

Then Li Wuxiang saw Kong Xu falling diagonally above him, with a foolish and confused look on his face, as if he was about to be possessed by evil——

"go with!"

His Yin Spirit immediately flew into Kong Xu's body. At this moment, something seemed to be coming out from the mist under the Nether Nine Abyss, but it was immediately squeezed out by Li Ye's authority.

Li Wuxiang was able to control Kong Xu's body and grasped the Donghuang Seal fiercely!
At this moment, Li Wuxiang felt that the entire lower world was slightly shaken. [Note 2]

In the darkness below, above, and on all sides, a crack appeared.

There was red mixed in the darkness - that seemed to be the red of the underground fire in the Great Tribulation Mountain!

The depressing atmosphere was filled with resentment - that seemed to be the resentment in Lingshan!

Through this gap, a huge thing, an irresistible authority - Dutian Siming slipped through the crack, cast a glance, and was about to pounce!

Li Yeli shouted: "Go!"

His Yin Spirit immediately flew towards the gap. The power of Dutian Siming seemed to want to catch him, but the gap created by the vibration of Donghuang Seal closed instantly - missed it!

A second trance and chaos appeared before his eyes. When he came to his senses again, Li Wuxiang found that this time the place he was in was still very familiar.

It reminded him of the first time he came to Youjiuyuan.

After talking to Jiang Jie and Senior Sister Mei outside, he stepped into the mist surrounding You Jiu Yuan, and then he saw another cave. [Note 3]

The cave was full of light. He was standing halfway up a hill, and what he saw was the endless blue sky and the vast plain in the distance. On that plain were not grasslands, rivers, or trees, but densely packed cities, connected together, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the end as far as the eye could see!

It is the old capital of the Ye Dynasty - Youjiuyuan is the remains of the old capital of the Ye Dynasty.

But now he was not halfway up the mountain, but at the top.

In the past, the hillside of this mountain was full of broken walls and ruins. All that could be seen were bare stone walls, stone pillars, and stone steps covered with grass and vines.

Now, they are new and majestic.

On this huge mountain, a long and wide stone staircase extends from the foot of the mountain all the way up. It is built with white marble and looks like a road to heaven.

On both sides of the stone steps are countless magnificent and majestic buildings. Following the stone steps all the way up to where he is at the moment - hundreds of huge stone pillars that require more than a dozen people to hug support the magnificent dome, as if this dome is the concrete embodiment of the scorching sun.

In this huge hall, the ground is as bright and smooth as the surface of a water mirror, reflecting the brilliant golden dome, making the place bright and seem like heaven on earth.

But apart from a throne facing south, there was nothing else in the hall. Even the huge stone pillars had no walls or windows. This reminded Li Wuxiang of the temple in Athens where he came from, and it also made him feel that this was an extremely huge altar.

"Here is ..."

"It looks like this place has just been built." said Li Ye.

It really looked like it had just been built, because the surroundings were extremely quiet, without even the sound of wind or birdsong. And the urban settlements in the distance were just like when he first came to Nether Nine Abyss, fake, illusory, and had not changed at all.

The real Nether Nine Abyss - Sister Mei's dojo Jiuzhu Peak and Jiang Jie's dojo Dadong Peak, are actually still inside this huge hall and in the belly of this small mountain. Li Wuxiang once thought that it was built by the descendants of the Sword Sect, but looking at the current scene, it should have been there when Li Ye said it was "just built".

"Is the Nether Nine Abyss under this mountain?"

"Yes." After Li Ye said this, Li Wuxiang felt like he wanted to sit on the huge throne behind him. He knew this was Li Ye's idea, but he did not resist and sat down.

Only then did he see the East Emperor Seal - it was placed at the end of the left armrest of the throne, lying there quietly.

He could feel that Li Ye had relaxed. Li Ye was calm before, but Li Wuxiang could sense the uneasiness suppressed in that calmness. But now he seemed to have a plan in mind and was completely calm.

“Why build something under this mountain?”

"Ask something else."

"…What are we doing here?"

Li Wuxiang felt like raising his hand. So he raised his hand and slowly stroked the Donghuang Seal.

"Let's go to Yulun Mountain first and borrow the magical power of Guiyin Zhenjun." Li Ye said slowly in his mind, as if he was explaining it to him, or teaching him, "Youjiuyuan is between the Netherworld and Lingshan. Guiyin Zhenjun holds some power in the Netherworld, so we were able to reach the lower realm of Youjiuyuan."

"Then, borrow the Eastern Emperor Seal in the lower world, and tear a hole from this place close to the netherworld to come here. This is Yedu, which was preserved by the swordsmen of Taiyi Sect, and also preserved some of my luck. So, we will meet Dutian Siming here."

“Is this place real or fake?”

"You can say whatever you want." Li Ye seemed to smile. "You blamed me for killing Jiang Jie in You Jiuyuan and forcing you to flee. Do you want to see what's going on now?"

Li Wuxiang's whole body tensed up: "I want to!"

"Okay." Li Ye raised his hand and lightly touched the Donghuang Seal, "See. This will also let Jiang Jie know that we are here."

At this moment, the scene in front of him changed. The stone pillars collapsed, and the grass and trees spread, as if time had quickly eroded the palace, turning it back into the same state it was when he arrived at Youjiuyuan that day. However, not only that, he also saw many illusions, as if they were superimposed on one place like a mist, as if the three thousand years of this place had condensed into this moment -

Li Wuxiang felt something, very similar to the things he had "seen" before, the connection between the world of the living and the sacred mountain.

Only at this moment, there were more of them, so many that it seemed as if countless gravels had gathered into a desert and countless water drops had gathered into thick fog. It was far beyond what he could find and understand.

But Li Ye gave a slight push in his mind, and he saw and heard——

"…What is this person's name?" [Note 4]

Jiang Jie asked.

He frowned, as if he was thinking hard.

Li Wuxiang saw him and the yard where he and he were that day.

But what he saw was not only people, but also the intricate connection he had just seen - countless spots of light appeared and disappeared around Jiang Jie, and the strands of light were like tiny electric snakes, radiating from his side, extending to the invisible distance, and then extinguished instantly.

Li Wuxiang didn't know what he saw at this moment, but Li Ye's voice sounded in his mind.

"He's calculating."

Calculate?
Calculate!
Like... what Senior Sister Mei said before, calculating the destiny? Like I did before, finding a connection among the many connections in the world and tracing it back to Lingshan?

Are you trying to find out what this external evil that you mentioned is?
But Jiang Jie... Jiang Jie when he was still a Yang Shen could actually do this! At this moment, he was spying on the fate of countless days at the same time!
Then Li Wuxiang saw himself - he opened his mouth, and seemed to have suddenly lost his voice. He could only squeeze out a little air but could not make any sound.

"Remember what I told you at the Great Tribulation Mountain? There is no second master in the sky. Now that you are here, you are already in a state of being possessed by evil."

"plum--"

"--gram!"

Li Wuxiang heard himself say.

So at this moment, he saw it again - the countless spots of light and countless fine rays around Jiang Jie condensed into a line in an instant, like a snake that was suddenly frightened, suddenly rising up and pointing directly to somewhere in the endless void!
Then, it seemed as if something dormant in the unknown was aroused——

And that thing caught this thread of connection!
Li Wuxiang seemed to hear a "click" sound - the void was broken, and with endless majesty and tremendous power, Dutian Si Ming arrived!
Only then did he realize that what he had just seen might not be Jiang Jie's physical body, but his Yang Soul - the moment he felt the breath of Dutian Siming descending upon this place, Jiang Jie's Yang Soul standing in the yard began to melt rapidly, like a snowman that was doused with a basin of boiling water.

He thought he could smell the same smell again, like a person who had sweated a lot but had kept it all in his clothes and fermented for several days, smelling extremely sour.

He saw the scene again. The moon-white Taoist robe on Jiang Jie seemed to have become a little duller, his face began to relax, the corners of his eyes and cheeks slowly drooped, his black hair turned white, and his golden crown fell off...

And all this is because——

"There is no two masters in the sky." Li Ye said, "Jiang Jieyang has become a god and realized the origin. And here, there will not be two origins."

Li Wuxiang saw Jiang Jie's last look - he was looking at him, but what he saw was the indescribable majesty, authority, and God of Destiny in the void behind him.

Then he seemed to want to take a step forward, but gave up, then slowly sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly exhaled.

Three flowers are eliminated.

Jiang Jie is dead.

"You..." Li Wuxiang said in a daze, "You...I..."

"Jiang Jie predicted me just now, so Du Tian Siming came here. Are you relieved?"

"What about me? How can I ..."

"You are Sora."

The next moment, the endless power in the void suddenly "looked" at him, the fog disappeared, the illusion disappeared, and Li Wuxiang was thrown back heavily onto the throne in the hall. He heard Li Ye say, "He's coming."
