A World Worth Protecting

As soon as he bowed, Wei Yangzi’s body shook violently and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wang Baole was no longer able to understand what was happening. However, it didn’t affect him. After the Dark Emperor’s third bow, he felt a power that exceeded his understanding. It affected everything around him. It was this power.., it caused Wei Yangzi to be severely injured.

As Wei Yangzi was severely injured, the Dark Qi in the starry sky was slowed down. At the same time, an even more violent source of dark qi erupted. The source... wasn’t in all directions, but... in Wei Yangzi’s body!

What a third bow from the dark emperor! Wei Yangzi’s expression was unsightly. He retreated rapidly, but he couldn’t stop himself from coughing out blood. He couldn’t suppress the dark qi that was spreading out from his body.

If the first bow was to transform the world into the underworld, and the second bow was to transform the underworld flower into a blooming flower, then the third bow... was to reverse life and death, and plant the source of the underworld, causing the body of the person who had been planted to be forcibly transformed into an underworld body!

The emperor of the dead had used the same technique in the past, and had only been a hair’s breadth away from success. However, he had failed in the end. Now that he had used it again, the underworld qi in Wei Yangzi’s body began to churn violently. In fact, his body could even be seen with the naked eye, he was rapidly withering away.

The will of death had already overpowered his life force. It was as if the trend of him turning into the underworld could not be reversed.

However, the cost of performing the third kowtow was clearly enormous. Originally, only a portion of the emperor of the dead’s body had been reduced to ash, but now, more than half of his body was slowly turning to ash and drifting away.

From a distance, it was still possible to see his body, but one could imagine that it would not last for long. However, there was not the slightest bit of emotion in his eyes. He only looked at Wei Yangzi, as if he could take advantage of this resurrection opportunity, it was enough for him to drag Wei Yangzi down with him.

“Emperor of the dead, if you can only use these techniques, then... you are still no match for me.”Sensing the violence of the Netherworld origin in his body, he sensed the life force that was rapidly being converted and the netherworld aura that filled most of his body, as Wei Yangzi spoke, the yellow robe on his body shattered.

It turned into a shard that spread out in all directions. The crown on his head also began to crumble. Without the crown and yellow robe, the white-robed Wei Yangzi didn’t lose any of his emperor’s will. Instead, for some reason.., it became even more intense.

“I am the Emperor, and shall be eternally indestructible!”As the calm words left his mouth, the Heavenly Dao of the Wei Yang clan, the golden beetle fighting the black fish, let out a shrill cry that filled the starry sky, its body instantly transformed into countless beams of light that shot toward Wei Yangzi, forming a sea of light that shot toward him.

Within that sea of light were countless beams of light, and each beam of light... was shockingly a law!

All of the laws and natural laws within the Wei Yang Dao domain fused into Wei Yangzi’s body, causing his emperor’s will to explode out to its limit.

An emperor should rule the world!

An emperor should control the Milky Way!

An emperor should suppress everything!

Whether it was Dao, magic, or natural laws, all of them converged under his gaze. It was as if they had reached perfection, causing Wei Yangzi’s body to emanate an intense, blinding light.

This was not the Dao of light, but the convergence of ten thousand daos. Ten thousand laws focused on the soul, and his aura and cultivation base exploded out. The Dark Qi in his body was instantly suppressed. As for the Netherworld essence which had been planted by the third kowtow.., it was as if it were withering away, and was on the verge of being completely dispelled and purified.

However, it was at this point that the underworld emperor, who had been reduced to ash and could not even maintain his form, turned his head and looked deeply at Chen Qingzi. Then, he took a deep breath, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes as he looked at Wei Yangzi, bow!

This was... the fourth bow!

It was something that had never been done before, and something that had never been done before... the fourth bow!

The bow was only halfway through when the underworld emperor’s body exploded with a boom. It was as if his innards had collapsed, and his body was reduced to ash. However, even so... The invisible ash.., it was as if the fourth bow... had been completed!

An ancient voice echoed out from within the void, echoing out through the starry sky.

“Emperor Ascension!”

This seal was not meant to ascend to the throne, but rather, a seal!

At the instant the voice rang out, Wei Yangzi’s body trembled violently. He lifted his head, and a long beam of ash appeared out of thin air next to him. It was based on an unstoppable will, it shot toward Wei Yangzi.

No matter how much Wei Yangzi retreated, no matter how much power he unleashed, he was incapable of blocking the long beam of ash. In the blink of an eye, the long beam of ash wrapped around him, forming a huge rune!

Anyone who saw this rune would have their divine soul tremble, and a single word would appear in their minds.

Seal!

“Laughable!”Wei Yangzi’s expression was extremely unsightly. His eyes flashed with light as he prepared to unleash his emperor’s art. However, it was at this moment that the Styx River appeared in the starry sky. It seemed to have been drawn in, and it began to surge over in an overwhelming manner, yu Weiyangzi’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately gathered around him, pouring into the runic symbol that represented the seal!

This caused the runic symbol to seem as if it had been lit up, and it immediately erupted with a shocking dark light. It was as if it had come to life!

The power of the seal formed by the death of the underworld emperor, combined with the power of the Underworld River, was beyond anyone’s imagination. For the first time ever, Wei Yangzi’s expression changed drastically.

What caused his expression to change drastically wasn’t just the seal and the underworld river... but also... Chen Qingzi, who had been standing in the starry sky with his head lowered, slowly lifted his head and his hand.

He didn’t have a wooden sword in his hand, but Wei Yangzi seemed to be able to see... The Shadow of a wooden sword coalescing from within Chen Qingzi’s body.

“It’s over,”Chen Qingzi murmured. He waved his right hand, and Wei Yangzi let out a low growl as he struggled with all his might. Deep within his eyes, disbelief and unwillingness could be seen.

However, there was nothing he could do. In the next instant... Sword Qi shot up into the sky, as if it could rip apart the starry sky and destroy the entire galaxy.

Wei Yangzi’s body trembled, and a crack appeared on his forehead. He stared in shock for a moment, then slowly lifted his head and looked deeply at Chen Qingzi. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.

That Smile... disappeared.

That was because his body... had exploded, turning into dust that spread in all directions. As it disappeared, threads formed from the laws flew out from the spot where his body had collapsed, the Dark Sect’s black fish roared in the starry sky, and the threads flew straight towards the black fish.

Wei Yangzi had died, and the Heavenly Dao had been destroyed. There was only the Dark Sect’s Heavenly Dao in the starry sky now. Therefore, the ownerless laws gathered together. They were close to the black fish, and they were about to be absorbed by it.

“Wait a minute!”Wang Baole was shocked when he saw this scene. He saw the smile on Wei Yangzi’s face before he died. In reality, even without that smile, a doubt still rose in the depths of his heart.

That was... Wei Yangzi had died too smoothly from the beginning to the end!

There seemed to be some twists and turns, but in reality... it was as if the other party was cooperating. This feeling grew stronger in Wang Baole’s heart when he saw the threads of the rules and laws.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ve already guessed his plan. This is his scheme, and it’s something I’ve... been waiting for a long time. I want to know what my dao... is. Baole, take care of yourself,”Chen Qingzi said softly, he stared at Wang Baole and smiled warmly. He raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, the Dark Sect’s Heavenly Dao black fish opened its mouth wide. It roared and swallowed..

All the law and regulation threads entered the mouth with a loud bang!
