Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3031: Decision

Translator: Legge

The tomb keeper pretended not to hear the Martial Dao Prime Body’s question and only said, “The combat strength of the two of you in the Emperor realm can indeed be said to be at the peak. However, there can only be one Great Emperor in the medium chiliocosm.”

“Apart from the two of you, other peak Emperors have a chance to attain their Daos as well. Without becoming a Great Emperor, it’ll be difficult to fight against the Heavenly Court.”

The tomb keeper was clearly avoiding the question of the Lord of the Netherworld.

Given the identity and background of the tomb keeper, if he did not want to answer, it would be useless no matter how much the Martial Dao Prime Body asked.

Furthermore, the Martial Dao Prime Body could already sense that the tomb keeper had the intention to leave.

He ignored the question about the Lord of the Netherworld and asked again, “Where did the Nether River come from? Also, where are the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao in the Six Paths of Reincarnation?”

The tomb keeper ignored the question of the Martial Dao Prime Body and continued, “You should have already attracted the attention of the few people of the Heavenly Court in today’s battle.”

“Of course, those few people might not take it to heart even if you haven’t become a Great Emperor. This is your chance. Be careful in the future. Before you become a Great Emperor, try not to attack as much as possible and don’t cause such a huge commotion…”

“See you soon.”

Before the Martial Dao Prime Body could ask anything else, the tomb keeper’s figure had already disappeared into the darkness.

The world formed around the tomb keeper dissipated as well.

The surrounding battlefield was in a mess. Emperor blood dyed the starry skies red and the corpses of many Emperor experts floated in the starry skies.

While the Martial Dao Prime Body and the other two were chatting, Demon Emperor Divine Elephant, Demon Empress Nine Tails and the other Emperors of the East Wilderness had already led everyone from the East Wilderness to clean up the battlefield and collect treasures.

Although their worlds were shattered and their combat strength was greatly reduced, they were still able to wrap things up with ease.

When the Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue reappeared in the starry skies, Demon Emperor Divine Elephant and Demon Empress Nine Tails went forward to pay their respects and handed over the many storage bags and treasures they obtained from clearing the battlefield.

The Martial Dao Prime Body chose a few storage bags to hand to Tiger, Little Fox and the others. He handed the remaining storage bags to Die Yue.

Die Yue shook her head gently and merely took a storage bag. “I only need Source Stones to repair my world. The rest are useless to me.”

At Die Yue’s cultivation realm, whether she could become a Great Emperor or not required more comprehension of Dharmic Dao and some opportunities.

The Martial Dao Prime Body took out a few storage bags and distributed them to Demon Emperor Divine Elephant, Demon Empress Nine Tails and the other five Demon Emperors of the East Wilderness before putting away the remaining storage bags.

Demon Emperor Divine Elephant, Demon Empress Nine Tails and the others received the storage bags and were overjoyed.

In every storage bag, not only were there treasures that Emperor realm experts cultivated for their entire lives, there were also world fragments of Emperor realm experts!

The Mansions Emperors of the Heavenly Court had even more treasures in their storage bags.

There were even some Source Stones in the storage bags given to them by the Martial Dao Prime Body!

With the help of these cultivation resources and treasures, not only could their worlds be repaired successfully, there was even a chance for their cultivation realms to advance further!

After the battle ended, the Great Wilderness finally regained its long-awaited peace.

In Butterfly Valley.

The Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue returned hand in hand.

“What do you think of what the Fiend Lord said?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.

Die Yue pondered for a moment. “He should be holding back and did not reveal everything. In fact, he even intended to avoid some questions.”

“That’s right.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded.

The tomb keeper’s appearance this time round had indeed resolved many of his doubts.

However, there were still too many unknowns about the background of the tomb keeper, the background of the four Daos and the Netherworld.

The only thing he was certain of was that the Fiend Lord, Empress Evil and the nine Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court were all from the major chiliocosm and their cultivation realms were above Great Emperors.

That was why he dared to claim that his lifespan was endless and he possessed immortality.

As for why the Fiend Lord and the others fell from the major chiliocosm, he did not know.

It was as Die Yue said, the tomb keeper held back and the Martial Dao Prime Body sensed it as well.

At the very least, in the Heaven Conquest Battle, the Fiend Lords’s faction might not be here for the living beings of the ten thousand races of the medium chiliocosm. They might have their own motives and selfish motives.

Die Yue continued, “Although he held back and might even be hiding something, it’s worth believing in his words.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded.

After this interaction, the tomb keeper gave off the feeling as someone straightforward.

There were some things that the tomb keeper would avoid talking about if he did not want to answer. At the very least, he did not choose to lie.

Furthermore, much of the information that the tomb keeper said could be verified with the information obtained by the Martial Dao Prime Body.

After returning from Hell, the Martial Dao Prime Body knew the situation on the side of the Green Lotus True Body.

He also learned that the Green Lotus True Body had entered Great Emperor Combat’s tomb and obtained the inheritance of the Combat Totem.

The last move of the Combat Totem was called the Combating the Nine Heavens.

When the Green Lotus True Body first saw that name, he did not think too much about it.

It was only when the tomb keeper said that he understood that there were really Nine Heavens in Combating the Nine Heavens!

Combat Soul, Combating the Ten Thousand Races, Combating the Universe and Combating Past and Present. Finally, the last move was a battle between Great Emperor Combat and the Heavenly Court!

On the Path to Heaven, the ‘Power’ badges that were left behind were from experts of Power Heaven, one of the Nine Heavens.

When the Martial Dao Prime Body recalled the figures of the Great Emperors he saw during the True Martial Tenth Tribulation, he could not help but sigh. “It’s a pity for those ancient Great Emperors. They sacrificed their lives to conquer the Nine Heavens just to break out of their cages and give all living beings of the world a chance to ascend.”

“However, in exchange, they were slandered for countless years. Some descendants of Great Emperors were even imprisoned in the Evil Fiend Sin Grounds and cursed for generations to come. They were slaughtered by the ten thousand races and would never see the light of day…”

The Martial Dao Prime Body felt sorrowful. “Even if the matter of the Nine Heavens is made public now, how many people will believe it? How many people are willing to believe the Fiend Lord’s words?”

Die Yue was silent.

To her, it was easy to tell who was more trustworthy.

That was because one side had been thinking of ways to hide the truth and erase all traces of the past for countless years.

There was another reason why the Martial Dao Prime Body was more willing to believe in the Fiend Lord.

It was because of all the ancient Great Emperors!

Even if the Fiend Lord’s faction failed in conquering the heavens, they could be reborn.

However, once the ancient Great Emperors of the medium chiliocosm died, it meant a full and complete death.

Even though they knew that there was a slim chance of survival and they might not even be able to return, they still attacked the Nine Heavens without hesitation!

“These ancient Great Emperors were all top geniuses throughout the long river of time.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “It’s not like they can’t tell that the Fiend Lord and Empress Evil have other motives as well. However, they still made this choice.”

Die Yue said, “That’s because the Heavenly Court shouldn’t exist. The existence of the Heavenly Court is the greatest evil!”

The two of them looked at each other and understood each other’s thoughts.

At that moment, the two of them made the same decision as those ancient Great Emperors!

Conquer the Nine Heavens!

For themselves and for all living beings!
