True Martial World - Chapter 761: Evening out Debts

The Sovereign of the Eventide's words were extremely provocative.

To establish a faction after going to the 12 Empyrean Heavens and obtaining heritage from the 12 Empyrean Heavens was extremely tempting to the Tian Yuan world warriors, especially the younger ones.

They also knew that the strength levels of the 12 Empyrean Heavens far exceeded that of the Tian Yuan world. It would certainly be extremely difficult when they first arrived in the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

However, they believed that the reason that the 12 Empyrean Heavens was powerful was that of its powerful heritage and rich resources. In the Tian Yuan world, they were limited by heritage and resources, destining them to mediocrity.

It was not because they were weak, it was because they were limited by external conditions.

As long as they were in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, they would be able to grow slowly and establish a small faction. By starting from scratch, it was still a possibility to develop it into something great.

"Today, I will take point here. The Umbriferous Divine Palace will be the place that I set off! In the next twenty years, I will conquer the Divine Wilderness Stage, so we can complete great things! Your future will depend on your choice and your striving. Your hard work will be remembered by me.

"When the forces are built up in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, I will reward you accordingly. All of you envy Yi Yun and Lin Xintong? That's right, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong are powerful. But in the future, when you obtain the heritage of the 12 Empyrean Heavens, you would surpass them sooner or later. They are already dead, dying at the hands of the Black-armored Demon God who they couldn't resist against. A dead genius is no longer a genius."

"And when our faction is established, your children might be on par with Yi Yun in their twenties or thirties. Yi Yun and Lin Xintong are nothing at all!"

The Sovereign of the Eventide gave an impassioned speech, which roused the masses. Even the followers, who were still wavering, could not help but be engrossed in the future described by the Sovereign of the Eventide.

In times of despair, people needed beautiful fantasies, even if they knew that these fantasies might end up bubbles, bursting at any time.

However… for some reason, the audience were no longer excited. They stared blankly at the empty space above the Sovereign of the Eventide. Their eyes turned stiff as many people had expressions like they had seen a ghost in the day.

Astonishment, confusion, disbelief…

Oh!?

The followers' reaction made the Sovereign of the Eventide pause. Everyone's eyes were concentrated on a spot behind and above him. What had happened?

The Sovereign of the Eventide's heart missed a beat. Could it be that something had appeared behind him? With his powerful perception, how could something strange suddenly appear behind him without him knowing? His perception range allowed him to lock onto a small bug even a radius of ten thousand feet.

"What is it!?"

The Sovereign of the Eventide jerked his head back suddenly. In the sky behind him, three figures had appeared out of thin air… These three people seemed to be distorted in the void!

A black-clad youth was nonchalantly sitting on the void. One of his legs was outstretched, while the other leg was bent in front of him. His left arm was casually placed on his knee. In his right hand, he held a strange-shaped tree leaf that was slowly rotating. The leaf veins were shimmering with a charming luster.

And behind the black-clad youth was a white-dressed girl. She held a sword to her chest, and with her cold expression, she seemed to have an outstanding air to her.

Finally, there was a tall, dark-skinned man, who had muscles as firm as divine iron that made him look like a metallic tower. He stood behind Yi Yun and Lin Xintong, with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Only a silhouette could be seen as he looked fuzzy.

This stalwart man had a perfectly proportioned body, and although his muscles looked exaggerated, it did not give an endearing feeling. It was more of the beauty that came from the embodiment of absolute strength.

Upon seeing these three people, the Sovereign of the Eventide was completely dumbfounded. As a Sovereign, he was the strongest person in the Tian Yuan world and he had lived nearly a hundred thousand years. Now, because of these three people's sudden appearance, his lips were trembling, and his face turned as white as a sheet.

He failed to recover even after several seconds. He could hardly believe everything he saw in front of him.

Yi Yun! Lin Xintong! As well as… the one that gave him a suffocating feeling…

The Black-armored Demon God!

And at that moment, the Black-armored Demon God's aura was completely converged on himself. He was quietly following Yi Yun like he was an attendant to Yi Yun.

This… This…

Impossible! Impossible!

The Sovereign of the Eventide felt like his mind was crumbling. He could not believe what he was seeing at all.

"Black-armored Demon God! That is the Black-armored Demon God!?"

Amongst the crowd, someone suddenly yelled. Instantly, there was chaos throughout!

Many of them had never seen the Black-armored Demon God, as nearly everyone who saw the Black-armored Demon God had been killed. Wherever the Demon God passed, life would be extinguished!

However, there were still many people who had seen projection images of the Black-armored Demon God, so they were able to recognize him. And with the Demon God here, even though he had deliberately converged his aura, the pressure that came from the difference in life's natural order still caused their blood and Qi to boil, and their hearts stop beating.

"That black-clad youth is Yi Yun. And there's Lin Xintong as well! They… They are still alive, and furthermore, why are they together with the Black-armored Demon God!?"

People could not believe the scene in front of them. Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's return was already unbelievable. What made people wonder if they were dreaming the Black-armored Demon God behind Yi Yun and Lin Xintong.

Weren't they archenemies?

At that moment, the sitting Yi Yun gently put down the Dao Leaf in his hand. Without looking back, he said to the Black-armored Demon God, "Black Demon Puppet, go!"

With a simple thought from Yi Yun, the Black-armored Demon God moved. He turned around, and his eyes emitted a divine beam that exploded like lightning, tearing the void apart!

His aura also emanated as a result. Whoever came into contact with the Black-armored Demon God's gaze felt a pressure press down on them. The warriors present felt that their blood was in chaos as their faces turned white. They nearly knelt down to the ground. As for those with weaker cultivation levels, they felt like their soul seas were collapsing!

It was too terrifying. It was definitely the Black-armored Demon God. Only the Black-armored Demon God could push their minds so close to collapse with a single look.

And at that moment, the Black-armored Demon God moved. His body transformed into a black flash of lightning, appearing instantly in front of an Eventide Monk.

This Eventide Monk was presiding over the array formation, and he was a slave of the Sovereign of the Eventide. His cultivation level had reached the Yuan Opening realm. However, at the instant the Black-armored Demon God moved in front of him, the pressure that followed seemed to envelop him like a storm. Under this pressure, the monk began to bleed from all his seven orifices while his pupils lost focus. His strength could not bear the frontal brunt of the Black-armored Demon God's pressure.

The Black-armored Demon God put his hand out and grabbed the Eventide Monk's neck before flying upwards, like an eagle catching mice.

The Black-armored Demon God flew towards Yi Yun and threw the Eventide Monk in front of him.

This Eventide Monk had unfocused eyes, and his soul sea already collapsed. With only a few breaths left, it was clear that he would not live.

True Martial World - Chapter 760: Pagoda Refinement

"This is… the far north!"

Yi Yun had come here before. So with the place lingering with Yin Qi and filled with killing aura, he was able to recognize this place immediately.

The land of the far north was a long distance away from the Tian Yuan world and the Divine Wilderness. However, this distance could no longer deter Yi Yun, who had already grasped spatial dimension laws. He could reach the Divine Wilderness in a very short period of time.

"Zi Zi Zi!"

The spatial rift above Yi Yun began to emit black bolts of lightning as a stalwart, bare-chested man stepped out of the spatial rift. His muscles were sculpted like metal, and purple veins lined his muscles. It looked like a demonic totem.

After this stalwart man appeared, he stood respectfully behind Yi Yun. He was like a towering pagoda, emitting a fearsome and sinister gaze.

After subduing the Black Demon, making him his puppet, it was equivalent to Yi Yun having a super hitman. At the current stage, just this puppet alone had much greater combat strength than Yi Yun and his avatar combined!

Yi Yun was eager to try this puppet's combat strength.

And just as Yi Yun had this idea, he suddenly felt a prick in his soul sea. It was a sting that disappeared in a flash.

Yi Yun's expression sunk. The prick was a result of the God Advent Tower.

Over all this time, the person who had robbed the God Advent Tower had been trying to incessantly wipe away the imprint he had left in the God Advent Tower. And now… He finally managed to touch the imprint Yi Yun left behind in the constantly weakening defensive arrays in the God Advent Tower. Of course, this was still a long way from him being able to fully wipe away Yi Yun's imprint. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Yi Yun sneered. He was interested to see who dared to covet the God Advent Tower while he was sealed in the alternate dimension!

"Xintong, let's go. I want to see who it is."

As Yi Yun spoke, he held Lin Xintong's hand and began flying. Behind him, the Demon God puppet followed closely behind, just like it was Yi Yun’s super bodyguard.

"Whew!"

Yi Yun and Lin Xintong, along with the Demon God puppet charged out of the land of the far north!

Yi Yun's speed did not seem fast, but the space beneath Yi Yun began warping. It was really like he traveled five hundred kilometers a second!

…

At that moment, in the square in front of the Umbriferous Divine Palace, there were thousands of warriors gathered. These people were the followers of the Sovereign of the Eventide.

With the apocalypse impending, the Sovereign of the Eventide had become the messiah in the eyes of these people.

The thousands of warriors stood in a gigantic array. Their energies were constantly acquired by the array.

And in the core of the array, there was a six-storey pagoda the height of a person. It was floating there, with numerous blood-colored runes circling it.

These blood-colored runes were like leeches, absorbing the God Advent Tower’s energy.

And the array beneath the pagoda was producing new runes constantly, adding it to the array formation.

At a certain moment.

"Peng!"

With an explosion, all the blood-colored runes in the air exploded, disappearing into uncountable black specks of energy.

The God Advent Tower was unharmed, but around the God Advent Tower, the Eventide Monks who were controlling the array had turned pale from the energy backlash. Those with weaker cultivation levels even lost all their blood and Qi, as their bodies jolted.

Buzz——

The gigantic array trembled violently before it finally dimmed.

The Sovereign of the Eventide looked at the infinitely sturdy God Advent Tower with a calm expression.

It was still a while before the Black-armored Demon God would appear again. He had plenty of patience and having gathered so many followers, using the array to wipe the imprint that Yi Yun left behind would be ten times faster at the very least.

He believed that in time soon to come, the God Advent Tower would be his.

"Senior Eventide, this pagoda is the enchanted treasure that will protect us on our voyage to the 12 Empyrean Heavens?" Amongst his many followers, some, who had just joined, asked.

This was the first time they saw the God Advent Tower while witnessing the pagoda;s refinement process.

"This pagoda was left behind by Young Master Yi?" Someone else asked.

The news of the Desolate race losing the God Advent Tower had long proliferated, so all of them had caught wind of it.

"That's right!" The Sovereign of the Eventide admitted frankly. "This is indeed the God Advent Tower left behind by Yi Yun! You probably know that I took the God Advent Tower away from the Desolate race!"

"Yi Yun had battled the Black-armored Demon God and he was sealed in an alternate dimension by him. Now, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong are likely dead!"

"Yi Yun is a member of our race, so the God Advent Tower he left behind is wealth that belongs to the Human race. As such, it should be returned to the Human race! However… the Desolate race took it for themselves, and what right did they have to do so? I was only taking back something that belongs to the Human race. I have never concealed this intention of mine!" The Sovereign of the Eventide said it as a matter of fact.

His words stirred up a number of his passionate followers as they cheered him, but there were a considerable number of people who maintained their silence.

Seeing these silent people, the Sovereign of the Eventide sneered. Over the past few days, the number of the Sovereign of the Eventide's followers were rising dramatically, but many of these followers came only because of hope. They did not truly believe in him, nor were they loyal to him.

"Why? Do you expect that when the apocalypse begins, the Desolate race will protect you? We can only rely on ourselves." The Sovereign of the Eventide said coldly.

He was speaking to those followers who were still on the fence. He wanted to refine the God Advent Tower as soon as possible and use these people to steal the Sacred Spirit's corpse.

"Are Young Master Yi and Fairy Lin really dead?" A follower asked, unwilling to give up hope.

Yi Yun and Lin Xintong enjoyed an extremely high reputation in the Tian Yuan world. Many people had heard of Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's tremendous strength and they hoped that the two were still alive and that there would come a day when they would defeat the Black-armored Demon God.

"Of course they are dead! The Black-armored Demon God possesses extraordinary strength and he is proficient in spatial dimension laws. The spatial dimension seal that he had set up is indestructible to anyone! My understanding of spatial dimension laws can be said to be the best in the Tian Yuan world, but when I went to the place where the Black-armored Demon God set up the seal, I could not even find the location of the alternate dimension. Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's understanding of the spatial dimension laws are greatly inferior to mine, so what do you think their outcome would be?" The Sovereign of the Eventide retorted with a rhetorical question.

The follower who asked previously remained silent. Indeed, no matter how strong Yi Yun and Lin Xintong were, there was nothing that they could do in such a situation. Besides, their great power was only relative to the people from the Tian Yuan world. In front of the Black-armored Demon God, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong could only be described as puny.

"Such a pity… " Many people shook their heads and sighed. They were feeling sorry for Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's demise. If they were able to mature further, they would have been able to prevent the apocalypse.

"A dead genius is no longer a genius. When people practice martial arts, they have to rely on themselves. If all of you can go to the 12 Empyrean Heavens and obtain ancient heritage, cultivating peerless martial arts, how negligible would the Black-armored Demon God be?"

"But to take you along with me to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, I need to first see your value. In time to come, I will establish a powerful faction in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. And you today will become a foundational cornerstone of this faction!"

True Martial World - Chapter 759: Yi Yun Returns

In the world that the Tian Yuan world resided, no one from the Human race or the Desolate race had a chance of surviving the Black-armored Demon God's slaughter.

The so-called escape route was none other than the 12 Empyrean Heavens!

The legendary human figures of the Tian Yuan world had vaguely read records regarding the 12 Empyrean Heavens, but it appeared as a legend to them. Only when the Black-armored Demon God appeared did they learn new things, confirming the legend.

The legends said of the 12 Empyrean Heavens was a place with more resources, richer Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and a more brilliant world of martial arts. This was extremely alluring for the Tian Yuan world warriors!

The Sovereign of the Eventide claimed that whoever followed him could open up a passage to the 12 Empyrean Heavens with him. When the time came, he would use a mobile immortal residence to take these people away with him from the Tian Yuan world to the 12 Empyrean Heavens!

The moment this news came out, all the warriors in the Tian Yuan world were stunned.

A few felt hope appear in the midst of despair as they seemed to be unexpectedly rescued from a dreary situation. They thought about following the Sovereign of the Eventide to the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

However, there were people who did not believe the Sovereign of the Eventide at all.

Opening a passage to the 12 Empyrean Heavens? Was that so easy?

Even though the Sovereign of the Eventide was the strongest person in the Tian Yuan world, with his strength and his handful of followers, he was still a great distance away from opening a passage to the 12 Empyrean Heavens!

As for his mobile enchanted treasure, it was a question if it could really take people to the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

Even if they followed the Sovereign of the Eventide in order to head to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, it might all end up as a ruse.

Many Tian Yuan world warriors had lived for hundreds, if not thousands of years. They would not easily trust others, even if the person who said this was Sovereign of the Eventide, the person who had the highest authority in the Tian Yuan world.

However, there were a lot of warriors who chose to believe the Sovereign of the Eventide. They might have had their doubts, but they believed that no one would be a match for the Black-armored Demon God in twenty years time. So at least, there would be hope by seeking refuge with the Sovereign of the Eventide and opening a path to the 12 Empyrean Heavens with him.

These people also knew that opening a path to the 12 Empyrean Heavens was extremely difficult. They might even turn into cannon fodder, but people could not just live on as sitting ducks. At least, it seemed that opening a passage was easier than killing the Black-armored Demon God.

Hence, as time went by, the number of Sovereign of the Eventide’s followers increased. There was even a small number of legendary human figures who had wavered.

The 12 Empyrean Heavens was too mysterious to the Tian Yuan world warriors.

At that moment, in the remote mountains. Desolate race palace.

The meditating Sanctuary Island Lord had also recently received news regarding the Sovereign of the Eventide.

This news made him frown slightly.

To protect the Desolate race, the Sanctuary Island couple, as well as a couple of legendary human figures, who shared the same values as the couple, had decided to live permanently with the Desolate race. As such, the Sovereign of the Eventide would not be able to wreak havoc in the Desolate race, but for the Tian Yuan world…

Without the Sanctuary Island couple and the legendary human figures, the Sovereign of the Eventide had no match in the Tian Yuan world. As the strongest person in the Tian Yuan world, it was easy for him to expand his power.

With the apocalypse approaching, people inevitably had a slavish mentality. Many of them would tend to seek refuge with the strongest person in the Tian Yuan world, the Sovereign of the Eventide. Besides, the Sovereign of the Eventide had indeed given a lot of people hope.

"Opening up the passage to the 12 Empyrean Heavens… What naivety. If it was that simple to open a path, it would have been opened up long ago!" The Sanctuary Island Lord said as he crushed a news jade slip.

The Sovereign of the Eventide had claimed to have found a secret spatial node, making it a hundred times easier to open up a passage, but the Sanctuary Island Lord refused to believe him.

Even if the Sovereign of the Eventide had really found a spatial node, his strength was likely insufficient to survive the long spatial storms before he arrived at the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

Maybe it was for this reason that the Sovereign of the Eventide needed the God Advent Tower to protect him!

From the world where the Tian Yuan world resided in, nearly no human had traversed the distance to the 12 Empyrean Heavens. Therefore, no one knew how dangerous it was!

It was a question whether the Sovereign of the Eventide could mind himself, as for taking his followers? How could it be possible?

"Eventide is expanding his power. I suspect he is trying to stir up a war between the Humans and Desolate race… "

Behind the Sanctuary Island Lord, the former Desolate Queen walked over slowly. She had a heavy expression as she did not have an easy time recently.

With the Dark energy entering Jiang Xiaorou's body, it made her bloodline's energy extremely unstable. She did not know if Jiang Xiaorou would be able to hold on, and if so, how long.

As for the storm stirring the Tian Yuan world, the Sovereign of the Eventide had gathered a large number of minions, making the former Desolate Queen suspect that he was preparing for war.

If the Sovereign of the Eventide really was able to open up a passage from the Tian Yuan world to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, he did not need to consider the consequences of the Black-armored Demon God appearing again. He could let the Human race and Desolate race go to war for his goal, and none of this would affect him negatively.

"Eventide is no match for us." The Sanctuary Island Lord said indifferently. Even though he and the legendary Desolate race figures were injured and suffered a drop in cultivation realms, they had many experts!

The Sovereign of the Eventide had amassed a large following, but his followers were of average strength. There were very few legendary human figures who sought refuge with the Sovereign of the Eventide.

"Even if the mighty figures of the Human race believe that Eventide has the ability to open a path to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, they would not blindly follow him. If war breaks out, many legendary human figures would stand on the Desolate race's side."

Right and wrong could be inferred and reason existed. The legendary human figures could at least be able to understand the reason, the only problem was whether they would act in accordance with reason.

However, the former Desolate Queen shook her head at the Sanctuary Island Lord's words. "Eventide does not want to wipe us out, he only wants the Sacred Spirit's remains. For your esteemed race's legendary figures to stand on my Desolate race's side, I am extremely grateful, but… the legendary human figures would only protect my Desolate race only in times of danger. But for them to risk injury or even consume their lifespans to protect a Sacred Spirit's corpse doesn't make sense… "

The Sacred Spirit was the Desolate race's totem. The Desolate race could give up their lives to protect a corpse because of their faith and as a form of reciprocation to the Sacred Spirit. But to the Human race, the Sacred Spirit was just a powerful desolate beast. Getting them to protect a desolate beast's corpse did not make sense. Furthermore, just years ago, the Sacred Spirit, who had protected the Desolate race, was an arch enemy of the Human race.

"I do not know what Eventide is planning on doing, but if Eventide attacks, it is because he has the absolute confidence. This is because he knows very clearly how much combat strength we have. It is impossible for him to wipe us out, but to take the Sacred Spirit's remains, he might still have the means to do so… "

The former Desolate Queen sighed while shaking her head.

As the former Desolate Queen and the Sanctuary Island Lord were discussing the situation in the Tian Yuan world, in the land towards the far north.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, space began ripping apart as a black-clothed youth and a white-dressed fairy slowly walked out of the spatial rift.

Seeing this cold and desolate land, Yi Yun exhaled. He was finally back!

Destroying the Black-armored Demon God and breaking through the confines of space, they had walked out of the jaws of Death. Now, everything had finally passed.

True Martial World - Chapter 758: Crazy Idea

As the storm raged on, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong began to drift deeper into its core. The membrane of light created by the Dao Leaf began to vibrate intensely, and it seemed like they would forever be lost in the void.

Yi Yun and Lin Xintong held hands, and using their Yin and Yang energies, they maintained the membrane of light, preventing it from rupturing. However, if this carried on, it was equivalent to being sitting ducks.

Yi Yun was anxious. In this scenario with death assured, he could not think of any ways out.

What could he do? What?

Yi Yun's mind raced with thoughts, and at that moment, he suddenly saw a shadow flash past in the turbulent spatial storm!

Oh? That is…

Yi Yun's eyes flashed as he made out the shadow in the spatial storm clearly. It was actually a floating corpse… the dead Black-armored Demon God's corpse.

The Black-armored Demon God's soul sea had collapsed and it had been completely extinguished. However, his powerful body had managed to remain intact in the spatial storm.

Corpse… Black-armored Demon God's corpse…

Yi Yun lit up his mind in a flash of brilliance. Yes, the Demon God's corpse! The evil energy!

In the Black-armored Demon God's soul sea, there was the evil energy, and it was taking advantage of his shattered soul sea, wantonly devouring his spiritual energies.

The evil energy had an uncanny ability to grow. Previously, it had devoured the masked man's soul and many of the Yin specters in the Soul Tomb. It had absorbed all this soul energy to aid its growth!

The evil energy could not only devour soul energy, it could also control a soul unnoticed. Back then, the masked man from Blood Moon had been controlled by the evil energy, and it was eventually made into a puppet by Yi Yun.

With the masked man as a puppet, Yi Yun had even managed to read a portion of his memories. This allowed him to have a smooth experience during the battle in the Soul Tomb, allowing him to successfully crush Blood Moon's plan.

Controlling puppets! Reading memories!

A crazy idea suddenly developed in Yi Yun's mind. Since he could use the evil energy back then to make the masked man his puppet, then why couldn't he do the same thing now? He could make the Black-armored Demon God his own puppet, right!?

The moment he had this idea, it began to take root in Yi Yun's mind, as he got obsessed with the idea!

Puppet! It was a Demon God puppet!

The Black-armored Demon God was indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, he was already dead!

After his soul sea collapsed, his powerful soul could only be used as nourishment for the evil energy.

By absorbing the Demon God's soul, the evil energy could rapidly grow and even grow to the point of being able to control the Black-armored Demon God's body.

As for the Black-armored Demon God's body, it had been honed and it could be compared to a peerless enchanted object. However, without a soul supporting it, it was just a dead item. It was impossible to control it.

If he possessed such a Demon God puppet, then in the future, be it Yi Yun's strength or his nomological insights, they would take a big step forward.

In addition to the Draco First True Gold avatar, he would then have a puppet and an avatar. Together with himself, they would be practically redoubtable!

Besides, the evil energy could obtain a portion of the original soul's memories through its devouring. The Black-armored Demon God had deep knowledge of spatial dimension laws. But of course, these nomological insights could not be exactly replicated into Yi Yun's brain through the evil energy, as the memories obtained through the evil energy were generally very vague.

But even so, they would give Yi Yun great inspiration and guidance.

The spatial dimension laws that Yi Yun understood at that moment were through trial and error. He lacked heritage, but with the Black-armored Demon God's memories, it was equivalent to having a teacher.

With the Black-armored Demon God's strength, leaving this void would not be a problem!

After all, this void was opened up by the Black-armored Demon God, to begin with!

If Yi Yun controlled the Black-armored Demon God, it was equivalent to holding the key to opening this space!

"We can go out!"

In the storm, Yi Yun said this anxiously as his eyes flickered with excitement.

"Oh?" Lin Xintong was surprised. At that moment, Yi Yun had begun interfacing his spiritual energy with the Purple Crystal. His perception emanated, projecting itself onto the Black-armored Demon God's corpse.

The suppression brought by the Purple Crystal had long left a deep impression on the evil energy. Probably no matter how powerful the evil energy grew, it would not be able to defy the Purple Crystal's will.

It was a suppression that derived from the Origin of Laws!

"Come over here!"

Yi Yun waved his hand as the Black-armored Demon God's corpse began to rapidly approach them in the spatial storm. Finally, the corpse entered the membrane of light, allowing Yi Yun to retrieve it successfully.

Devour! Devour the Black-armored Demon God's soul! Completely control this body!

Yi Yun issued an order to the evil energy through the Purple Crystal. His life and everything he held dear now lay with the evil energy. With the Black-armored Demon God puppet, Yi Yun could even forcefully break through the void!

All this while, Yi Yun had used the evil energy to do many things. But similarly, the evil energy also relied on Yi Yun greatly.

By following Yi Yun, it had devoured all the Yin specters in the Soul Tomb, and now, it could devour the Black-armored Demon God's soul, allowing it to grow rapidly.

It would take time for the evil energy to control the Black-armored Demon God's body. By now, the spatial storm was gradually weakening as Yi Yun and Lin Xintong had already drifted deep into the void. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

With Lin Xintong's Jade Marrow Spiritual Energy, she nourished Yang with Yin, allowing Yi Yun to continuously maintain the light membrane through the Dao Leaf. The energy membrane looked like a gigantic, transparent egg in the void that enclosed Yi Yun and Lin Xintong in layers.

And the Demon God puppet underwent embryonic development in the gigantic egg…

Yi Yun believed that he could perfectly control the Demon God puppet in a few months time, at the most.

…

Time quickly went by, and in a blink of an eye, several months passed. As Yi Yun and Lin Xintong were refining the Demon God puppet, the Tian Yuan world was undergoing tumultuous changes!

Before the Black-armored Demon God entered his slumber, he had declared that he would back in twenty years, returning to the Tian Yuan world at his peak to slaughter all that lived under the heavens. Although the legendary human figures had intentionally concealed this matter to ensure stability, there were just too many people who knew of this matter. This news had proliferated in the Tian Yuan world!

Immediately, a sense of despair emanated throughout the Tian Yuan world!

The Black-armored Demon God's appearance had swept the Tian Yuan world in an indomitable fashion. In twenty years time, he had threatened to return in peak condition. When that happened, who could stop him?

Didn't that mean that everyone only had twenty years left in their lives?

The Sanctuary Island couple and some legendary human figures had announced news that Yi Yun and Lin Xintong had only been sucked into the alternate dimension, and they had not died. They could still return in twenty years to battle the Black-armored Demon God.

However, very few people believed their words!

Yi Yun and Lin Xintong were strong, but they were still far weaker than the Black-armored Demon God. How was being sealed with the Black-armored Demon God in an alternate dimension different from a mortal being locked in a cage with a tiger?

Was it even possible that they could survive? Without Yi Yun and Lin Xintong, there was no one who could stop the Black-armored Demon God!

And as people were feeling despair, a twist occurred. The Sovereign of the Eventide appeared, and he declared that he had found an escape route for all the warriors in the Tian Yuan world…

True Martial World - Chapter 757: Killing the Demon God

"Bam!"

A terrifying explosion tore up space completely as Yi Yun used spatial dimension laws to transfer the damaging energy into a spatial rift.

"Roar——!"

A terrible roar echoed out of the spatial rift caused the alternate dimension to tremble.

In the void, the sleeping ’Black-armored Demon God’ figure suddenly began to distort like a reflection on a water surface before it gradually disappeared!

"Phantom image?"

Lin Xintong was surprised, but she immediately understood that the sleeping Black-armored Demon God that she first saw was just an illusion. It could have even been a trap, used to attract attacks.

Once the Black-armored Demon God illusion was attacked, it might trigger some array restrictions, but Yi Yun had managed to see through all of this almost immediately. He had even found where the Black-armored Demon God was hiding. It was the place where Yi Yun and the Draco First True Gold avatar attacked!

The Black-armored Demon God would have never imagined that the sealed Yi Yun, who did not know any spatial dimension laws, would not only be able to tear apart the spatial barrier while he was sleeping but even precisely locate his true location!

Yi Yun could do this firstly because of the Purple Crystal's energy vision, and secondly, because of his connection with the evil energy. As it was sealed in the Black-armored Demon God's soul sea, Yi Yun knew its location very clearly.

Hence, even though the Black-armored Demon God's true body was hidden in a spatial rift, he failed to escape Yi Yun's fatal blow!

"Ah Ah Ah Ah!"

The Black-armored Demon God in the spatial rift roared crazily. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were blood red!

Yi Yun's pure Yang broken sword had already penetrated the Black-armored Demon God's chest. The Withering concepts had been injected, causing the Black-armored Demon God's organs to begin to lose their vitality!

The Black-armored Demon God's physical defenses were at their weakest while in slumber.

"You! You!"

The Black-armored Demon God spat out black blood as he grabbed Yi Yun's pure Yang broken sword. "Pathetic life form, you want to kill me? I'll kill you!"

The Black-armored Demon God was forcefully awoken from his slumber. His broken soul was once again dealt a severe blow and his life was on the verge of collapse.

The Black-armored Demon God had extremely great vitality. He had been sealed by the Azure Yang Lord for tens of millions of years, having weakened through all those years. His seriously damaged vitality had also received numerous attacks from Yi Yun.

However, no matter how great his vitality was, he was put in the most terrible of situations. He was completely within the boundaries of death!

"Whew!"

An ice lotus bloomed in the void as Lin Xintong appeared while riding a frost wind. With the sword in her hand, she stabbed into the Black-armored Demon God's throat like a ghost!

This strike caused the Black-armored Demon God's life to collapse completely!

At the same time, Yi Yun triggered the evil energy that the Black-armored Demon God had suppressed. It began to wantonly devour the Black-armored Demon God's soul!

"Ah, ah, ah!"

The Black-armored Demon God roared in excruciating pain as he threw a punch at Yi Yun's heart. If it hit its target, Yi Yun's chest would definitely be penetrated.

Yi Yun flew backward and as he retreated, he threw the Death Soulwood in his hand.

"Whew!"

The Death Soulwood flew into the Black-armored Demon God's chest like a javelin, embedding itself in the hole left behind by the pure Yang broken sword!

Puah!

Blood dyed the Death Soulwood, but it was rapidly absorbed by the Death Soulwood. This divine piece of wood had previously been dyed by a Demon God's blood. It had absorbed it, resulting in its death. It embodied the concept of decline and withering. Back then, the ancient Demon God that died on the Death Soulwood was much stronger than the Black-armored Demon God.

The Death Soulwood was embedded in the Black-armored Demon God's chest like a nail in a monster. The Black-armored Demon God's life force was rapidly depleting.

His armor began to shatter, and his body began rupturing. Blood kept on flowing!

"You… "

Just opening his mouth caused black blood to rush out. As the Black-armored Demon God looked at Yi Yun, his gaze looked like it wanted to penetrate Yi Yun.

"You want me dead, I want you to accompany me!"

The Black-armored Demon God enunciated each word bit by bit, as his teeth were stained with blood. At that moment, the Black-armored Demon God looked like a demon that had crawled out from Hell.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

The Black-armored Demon God roared as every inch of his muscles ruptured, causing chaotic energies to vent out of his body. These energies filled the alternate dimension, causing the spatial dimension forces to turn chaotic.

Ka Ka Ka!"

A visible crack appeared in space as it rapidly expanded.

Yi Yun's expression changed. This was…

"Collapse!"

The Black-armored Demon God roared as the spatial boundaries began to explode and shatter, causing a terrifying spatial storm to surge around freely!

"I'll make this alternate dimension completely explode. Let us be embroiled in the spatial turbulence at the boundaries of this Great World, forever drifting in it, experiencing eternal death!"

The Black-armored Demon God had already fallen into madness. As his energies were wantonly surging out, he revealed a ferocious and tragic laugh.

At the moment of his last laugh, the Black-armored Demon God's life was completely extinguished.

Boom!

With an explosion, the Black-armored Demon God's soul sea finally collapsed. The dissipating Black-armored Demon God's soul was devoured freely by the evil energy. The Black-armored Demon God's eyes turned dimmed as his body began to quickly lose its vitality.

This ancient Demon God that had existed for so long had finally been completely eliminated, dying at the hands of Yi Yun.

However, at that moment, the terrifying spatial storm began to sweep at Yi Yun and Lin Xintong.

"Careful!"

Yi Yun's expression changed greatly as he grabbed Lin Xintong's hand, and held her by the waist. At that moment, Yi Yun was in a terrible situation. He injected the tiny Yuan Qi that was left in his body into the Dao Leaf, causing the Dao Leaf to shimmer. A transparent membrane of light enveloped him and Lin Xintong.

As the spatial storm came sweeping over, the membrane of light looked like a bubble in a storm. It looked like it would burst at any moment.

Yi Yun struggled to hold on, but his Yuan Qi had been greatly depleted. He could not control where to go in this spatial storm. He watched helplessly as this energy bubble was swept around by the spatial storm, floating in a haphazard fashion, it was beginning to enter deep into the spatial turbulence.

The deeper he went, the harder it was to return to the world where the Tian Yuan world and Divine Wilderness was.

Yi Yun was mortified. His insights into spatial dimension forces were just at the beginning stage. Although he could tear the spatial void, to return to the Tian Yuan world, he still needed more research.

But now, he and Lin Xintong had been thrown into the spatial turbulence, and the deeper he was, the harder it was to find the way back. And with time, it would be as the Black-armored Demon God said, they would be lost in the spatial turbulence, floating in space for eternity till their deaths.

Seeing themselves drifting farther away, Yi Yun's heart turned cold. He found it very demanding to already support the energy membrane of light, let alone float upstream against the spatial storm.

Did the Heavens want me dead?

Yi Yun gritted his teeth. He was indignant, for he had just begun his life, so how could he die here!?

True Martial World - Chapter 756: Breaking the Spatial Barrier

Spatial dimension laws were considered very important in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, but they were considered very difficult to learn.

By being proficient in spatial dimension laws, other than Void Tearing, the next stages were… Partitioning the Heavens, Spatial Slash, Void Transference, Teleportation, Refining Independent Spaces, etc!

The higher the difficulty, the more powerful it became. Ignoring everything else, just grasping Void Transference was extremely important in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. This was because the 12 Empyrean Heavens were extremely vast. Even if a peerless mighty figure wanted to travel between two Empyrean Heavens, he would also need to exhaust a great deal of time. By grasping Transference, he could quickly reach his destination.

However, many experts in the 12 Empyrean Heavens were unable to do Void Transference. If they wanted to embark on a distant journey, they would need to use teleportation arrays or sit in spiritual boats that possess Void Transference capabilities.

As for Refining Independent Spaces, the God Advent Tower or Pure Yang Sword Palace's worlds were both independent spaces. This was an indispensable ability when refining advanced enchanted treasures. There were even fewer people that had such abilities. As such, when some peerless mighty figures wanted to refine their mobile enchanted treasures, they would have to hire the mighty figures, who knew spatial dimension laws, at high prices to open an independent space for them in the enchanted treasure.

Mighty figures, who had the ability to open up independent spaces in items, led an extremely comfortable life even in the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

Now, Yi Yun had only grasped Void Tearing, but to even tear the thick spatial barrier in front of his eyes apart was extremely difficult.

Yi Yun took his pure Yang broken sword out of his interspatial ring. He imbued spatial dimension laws into the pure Yang broken sword and he slashed at the spatial curtain!

"Cha!"

The blade tore through the void, as the spatial barrier cracked. However, after the crack appeared, it began to fade away at a speed visible to the naked eye. Spatial barriers had the ability to restore themselves. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Yi Yun had to tear it apart before the spatial barrier fully restored, but this was easier said than done.

By just slashing about a dozen strikes with his sword, Yi Yun already felt the energy deficit in his body, and he felt faint.

"Oh?"

Yi Yun frowned slightly. He knew that this was due to the impure energies in his body.

In this alternate dimension, Heaven Earth Yuan Qi had been isolated. So for all this time, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong would rely on the energies supplied to them through desolate bone relics, be it for their body consumption, healing or nomological meditation.

The more desolate bone relics they ate, the more impure the energies in their bodies were. This was inevitable.

After taking a deep breath, Yi Yun calmed himself again. Ever since he entered the Yuan Opening realm, the battles he went through and the insights he gained over the years, as well as the arduous cultivation in this alternate dimension, Yi Yun had long consolidated his realm. He could now greatly improve his cultivation level.

As long as he broke through the spatial barrier, he would be able to absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and make a breakthrough immediately.

But now, the spatial barrier had yet to be torn apart!

Yi Yun was in no hurry. He meditated quietly in front of the spatial barrier, while the Dao Leaf floated in front of him. The leaf veins shimmered with a golden glow.

"Open!"

Yi Yun roared as he slashed out with the pure Yang broken sword!

"Chi!"

The spatial dimension forces were severed by the pure Yang broken sword, as a large spatial rift a hundred foot long appeared in front of Yi Yun.

"It's opening!"

Lin Xintong's eyes lit up. Just producing a few more of such spatial rifts would cause the spatial barrier to collapse, however, at that moment…

With a crisp but nearly imperceptible chipping sound, an inconspicuous black charm seal shattered along with the spatial rift's appearance, transforming into strands of black gas.

This black charm seal was embedded in the chaotic spatial dimensional forces, so it was difficult to detect it. So even though Yi Yun had some knowledge of spatial dimension laws, he could tell that something was amiss with this charm seal!

Yi Yun shuddered for a moment as he slowly lowered his broken sword.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xintong asked.

"I seem… to have triggered the Black-armored Demon God's trap, or it might be some form of alert mechanism."

"Oh?" Lin Xintong was astounded. "Isn't the Black-armored Demon God asleep? He can still wake up with the alert mechanism?"

Yi Yun shook his head. "It's impossible that he can wake up as he pleases. If not, the Black-armored Demon God's slumber would be like child's play. The moment he enters deep slumber, he definitely cannot be awoken easily. If that happens, his soul might collapse immediately. Besides, I still have the evil energy left inside his soul sea!"

Yi Yun's gaze was cold as he forcefully gathered Yuan Qi, slashing out again with the pure Yang broken sword!

In the alternate dimension, Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was isolated, so Yi Yun's stamina was being quickly depleted. He lacked the energy required to tear apart the surrounding space.

"I'll help you!"

Lin Xintong held onto Yi Yun's hands, as a continuous stream of pure Yin Yuan Qi surged into Yi Yun's body.

The two of them cultivated the ’Great Empress Heart Sutra’, so despite them not having much Yuan Qi left, and were relying on the impure Yuan Qi from desolate bone relics to sustain themselves, the Jade Marrow Spiritual Energy and Nine Yang Spiritual Energy that was in its truest Origins remained intact. This was the foundation of the ’Great Empress Heart Sutra’.

Lin Xintong and Yi Yun held hands as the Jade Marrow Spiritual Energy and Nine Yang Spiritual Energy slowly blended together. Yi Yun felt a refreshing feeling flowing into his body, like his nearly dried up meridians were being revived.

Another slash!

Yi Yun roared as all his body's energy surged out without reservation.

Chi La!

The thick spatial barrier was split apart by Yi Yun's strike. Following that, the spatial dimension forces sealed in the spatial barrier surged out like a storm. Even the spatial maze and array formation seals set up by the Black-armored Demon God were completely shattered!

Yi Yun's muscles ruptured as the strike he just dealt was something his body could not withstand.

It was open!

Yi Yun and Lin Xintong were delighted. Yi Yun's strike had opened up a spatial passage, and after the spatial storm dissipated, what welcomed Yi Yun and Lin Xintong was an independent space!

This space was filled with a thick, evil aura. It belonged to the Black-armored Demon God!

Yi Yun focused his eyes as a stalwart man, dressed in torn armor, was floating in the void. His arms were around his chest, and his eyes were shut. He was deep in sleep.

This was the Black-armored Demon God!

"It's him! Black-armored Demon God!"

Lin Xintong's pupils constricted and the frost Qi in her sword surged. The Black-armored Demon God was indeed deep in slumber, and even though they had torn the spatial barrier apart, he remained asleep.

Maybe he knew what was going on, but he could not wake up immediately.

Take advantage of his perilous situation!

Yi Yun had charged at the Black-armored Demon God, and at the same time, the Draco First True Gold avatar in his dantian flew out. It wore a pale gold robe, and 999 flying sabers revolved around it. Thousand Snow Domain!

Yi Yun's actual body flicked his hands, as the Death Soulwood began to spin in front of his body. The Withering domain immediately caused the murderous aura in this space to wither and die out due to the Death Soulwood.

"Die!"

Yi Yun shouted. Just as Lin Xintong thought he was about to kill the sleeping Black-armored Demon God, Yi Yun and the Draco First True Gold avatar flew past the Black-armored Demon God's body.

"Oh?"

Lin Xintong was startled. But in a blink of an eye, Yi Yun and the Draco First True Gold avatar had flown a thousand feet away from the sleeping Black-armored Demon God. Here, the Thousand Snow Domain's 999 flying sabers condensed into one, slashing into emptiness with Withering Sword Intent!

True Martial World - Chapter 755: Void Tearing

"Your Majesty… Do we really have to hand over the sacred remains of the Sacred Spirit?" A legendary Desolate race figure asked in a helpless manner.

The former Desolate Queen did not answer. She used all her remaining strength to hug Jiang Xiaorou like she wanted to merge her daughter into her own body…

She truly did not know how to resolve the situation. The Sacred Spirit had protected the Desolate race for tens of millions of years, sacrificing its life for the Desolate race, so how could she hand over the Sacred Spirit's corpse?

The Sacred Spirit did not belong to the Desolate race, to begin with. She did not have the right to use the Sacred Spirit's corpse to exchange for her daughter's life.

At that moment, Shepherd Boy was standing beside her. He had a deadpan expression, but the look in his eyes was fearsome. Many legendary Desolate race figures present had known Shepherd Boy for years, but they had never seen him in such a murderous state.

"Give the order. Gather all Desolate race warriors who know Laws of Darkness in the palace. Also, inform Sanctuary Island Lord of this matter… "

Shepherd Boy was a proud person, and unless necessary, he would never seek the help of others. But now, the solution to the damage caused by the Laws of Darkness was something probably only the Sanctuary Island couple could come up with. After all, in terms of nomological attainments, it was more of a forte of the Human race rather than that of the Desolate race.

…

By the time the Sanctuary Island couple received the news and rushed to the remote mountains, it had been twenty days.

No one could remove the darkness energy left behind by the Sovereign of the Eventide. It was an extremely damaging attack. The person, who originally created it, did it not for killing, but for torturing and threatening.

It was even possible that the person who created this attack was the Sovereign of the Eventide himself. Under such circumstances, how could he allow others to crack his Darkness energy so easily?

"Your Majesty, I apologize for I do not have a solution either."

The Sanctuary Island Lord shook his head. A few legendary human figures, who had some understanding of the Laws of Darkness, had accompanied him, but they also shook their heads.

Towards such a scum that came from the Human race, these legendary human figures felt ashamed. However, they too were out of options. They had yet to recover from their injuries, and even if they had recovered, preventing the Sovereign of the Eventide from escaping was highly unlikely. Besides, from the Desolate race's description, the Sovereign of the Eventide, who had restored his looks to that of a middle-aged man, seemed to have grown stronger.

"Sovereign of the Eventide has already gone against the tide and he no longer cares about the circumstances." The Sanctuary Island Lord sighed. Back when he saw that the God Advent Tower was stolen, he had a hunch that it was possibly the Sovereign of the Eventide. Now, with facts in hand, this was an outcome that he did not wish to see. This was because, with his present strength, there was nothing he could do!

"I'm really sorry my strength is limited. I can't crack Sovereign of the Eventide's Laws of Darkness, nor can I capture him to force him to treat Fairy Jiang. In the future, the few of us will live in the remote mountains. Although we will not be able to handle the Sovereign of the Eventide, by contributing a bit of our strength, we should still be able to help you protect Fairy Jiang."

Previously, the Sovereign of the Eventide had succeeded in planting the Darkness energy in Jiang Xiaorou's body because he had caught the Desolate race off guard. Once they were on alert, especially with the Sanctuary Island couple helping hold the ground, then no matter how strong the Sovereign of the Eventide was, he could no longer wreak havoc in the Desolate race's territory easily.

With the Sanctuary Island Lord expressing his intentions, the other legendary human figures also echoed in unison that they were willing to remain in the remote mountains.

Staying in the remote mountains was considered a form of sacrifice. This was because, in twenty years, the Black-armored Demon God would attack again. And the first spot he would attack was most likely the remote mountains!

"Thank you, everyone. The former Desolate Queen said with utmost gratitude.

Now, all they could do was take things one step at a time.

"Your Majesty, you do not need to worry too much. The energy left behind by the Sovereign of the Eventide may be despicable and unremovable, but it looks like it won’t be easy for it to easily devour Fairy Jiang’s life force… "

After probing Jiang Xiaorou's meridians for a long time, the Sanctuary Island Lord spoke.

He discovered that although the Darkness energy was devouring Jiang Xiaorou's life force, the loss of her life force seemed to be slowly awakening the hidden power in her bloodline due to the catalytic effects of the Darkness energy.

Jiang Xiaorou's bloodline was extremely extraordinary that even the Black-armored Demon God coveted it. In the words of the Black-armored Demon God, Jiang Xiaorou possessed the most valuable bloodline in this world. Back when he was seriously injured by Yi Yun, all he thought was to capture Jiang Xiaorou and drink her blood to treat his injuries.

It was obvious what the quality of the blood that could treat the Black-armored Demon God’s wounds was.

Such a bloodline gave Jiang Xiaorou her tremendous life force. Even now, despite her strength being extremely limited, her life force still existed, and it was not easy for the Darkness energy to devour it.

Furthermore, it seemed that slowly, the Darkness energy was repressed by Jiang Xiaorou's life force.

"What terrifying life force… I really wonder what sort of person Fairy Jiang's father is in the 12 Empyrean Heavens."

"Maybe he is from some noble race… "

The Sanctuary Island couple exchanged words. If Jiang Xiaorou's hidden life force was continuously released, the Darkness energy bodies would not take her life for the time being. Of course, they would not be removed, but they would reside in Jiang Xiaorou's organs and her soul, like maggots in a bone. This could be said to be a latent problem for Jiang Xiaorou.

And she would have to live through such days for the next two decades, before the Black-armored Demon God’s return. The thought of the Black-armored Demon God returning made people feel helpless…

As the Desolate race was not having any peace due to the appearance of the Sovereign of the Eventide, in the alternate dimension, Yi Yun's insights into the spatial dimension laws were slowly reaching a certain degree of proficiency.

After cultivating for an unknown period of time, every time Yi Yun went into meditation, months would pass in a blink of an eye.

Every time he gained insight into a spatial dimension Dao for himself, he would match it to the runic patterns on the Dao Leaf, so he could compare them.

An incorrect understanding would be abandoned by Yi Yun. If it was correct, it would be ingrained in Yi Yun's soul, becoming his own true Dao.

With the Dao Leaf as a standard of measure, the spatial dimension laws that Yi Yun understood were already approaching the Origins of spatial dimension very closely.

Compared to the Black-armored Demon God, Yi Yun's understanding was still extremely shallow.

Although it was shallow, it was a lot more solid and correct as it was close to the essence of space itself. This meant that Yi Yun's future attainment in Spatial Dimension Dao would be even higher.

One day, Yi Yun, who was in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes as he reached out to tear the void!

Intense spatial dimension forces surged as they gathered to form black bolts of lightning. As the snakes of lightning flashed, the void was torn apart.

A small flake of a layer in the spatial curtain had been forcefully torn out by Yi Yun!

He had torn the void!

This was the beginning steps of spatial dimension laws, but most people did so using weapons. They used powerful attacks, with the support of spatial dimension laws, to tear the void apart.

Tearing the void apart with one's bare hands, even if it was just a tiny bit, was extraordinary. For Yi Yun to be able to do so, it was all from his understanding towards the laws. As for the amount of energy required, it wasn't much.

"Yi Yun, you can already tear the void?"

Beside Yi Yun, Lin Xintong was astonished and delighted seeing this scene.

She had tried to gain Dao enlightenment together with Yi Yun. Her perception was extraordinary, and with it, she had managed to gain some insight into spatial dimension laws, but she was much more inferior to Yi Yun.

She never expected Yi Yun to be able to tear apart the void so quickly. If this carried on, it wouldn't be long before they could leave!
