The Anarchic Consort

At this moment, the intertwined turbulences had been pacified into complete silence. The peaceful tide began to edd together with the extinguished white light.

The thousands of monsters paused their actions involuntarily.

They had witnessed a similar scene tens of millions of years ago.

The man had once levitated above the Sea of Blood in the hell of Six Dao as he overlooked the rough and turbulent black water and asked if anyone was willing to follow him to Tian Dao.

Just like now, the enchanted flowers blossomed along the road.

Ever since then, the Eight Deserts had been wiped out while the sacrilegious Sea of Blood had been removed from the hell. He became the ruler of the monsters.

Tian Dao had become a fad of the time before it eventually turned into the leader of the Six Dao.

The man was the only one who was capable to make this happen.

The emperor, who was born amidst chaos, yet possessed infinite miraculous power, was the only one who could orchestra this!

However, the emperor had certainly fallen from heaven. How did he actually possess the divine consciousness?

The old man stared at Baili Jia Jue while his brown eyes slowly widened, as though he was witnessing an inconceivable event. For the first time, his always tired and lifeless eyes nearly popped out of his head.

With his pinkish lips slightly parted, he meant to voice his opinion before he realized that the words had died at his dry throat.

No!

This is impossible!

This is surely an illusion created by the devil!

A man who has fallen from heaven will never be able to regain his consciousness!

The old man regained his composure before he stared at Baili Jia Jue coldly, “You might be him, but I know that all of these are nothing but a bravado. Do you think you can scare me with this?”

The old man squinted as he spoke. While the air on his palm gradually solidified, the surroundings began to shake vigorously and turn the entire place into chaos.

Speedily, he charged toward Baili Jia Jue with an inimitable move. In a fraction of a second, his hand was only a few centimeters away from Baili Jia Jue’s temple.

He was confident that his punch could shatter Baili Jia Jue’s head.

Much to his surprise, he heard a loud thump.

It was the sound of the rocks cracking open.

He was clueless, not knowing how he was flung away. Only when he hit the ground, he was overwhelmed by pain and agony.

The pitch-black petal rose into the air before it descended again in slow motion as though someone had cast a spell over it.

Indeed, he applied his divine consciousness.

He had definitely used his divine consciousness that was not supposed to exist!

The old man gently lifted his brown eyes. Coupled by shallow and weak breathe, he asked in a feeble tone, “That’s impossible. You’ve fallen from heaven. It’s impossible for you to have a divine psyche!”

“Ha…” His solid and fruity laugh swamped the whole place like the golden sands. The sand steadily flew underneath his feet, making him look exceptionally aloof yet graceful.

“For me, nothing is impossible. It only happens because I refused to return to Tian Dao.” Baili Jia Jue looked at the old man of Tian Dao from above as he wore a sardonic half smile on his face. He replied the old man with a thought-provoking answer.

Although he was covered in blood, his aura remained unyielding. From the side, extreme wickedness was painted across his chiseled yet pale face. In spite of his pallid complexion, his crystal clear skin was glowing.

“Have you never lost your divine…” The old man’s eyebrows rose in shock. Before he could finish his words, he was covered by the flooded black feathers before it eventually penetrated both his hands and throat.

Fresh blood permeated the barren plain and moistened the earth.

Baili Jia Jue advanced in a nonchalant manner as the thousands of demons made way for him, making a rather magnificent scene.

The monsters in the palace dared not move an inch. They stood stock-still, afraid that the man would kill them with his bare hands. The monsters shivered as they called out, “Emperor.”

Standing in the center, Baili Jia Jue sneered as he commanded succinctly, “Leave.”

The monsters freed up the space before they huddled into balls. Obeying to His Highness, they began to roll backward as the sorrow within them overflowed, almost making a river of tears.

Why has no one told us about this before?

Why didn’t we know it is possible for the emperor to return?

Didn’t they say that a man who has fallen from heaven will never be a deity?

What nonsense is this!

Despite their thick skin, they were not able to withstand a fiendish lambast like this.

“The monsters seem to know you?” Amused, Helian Wei Wei threw a side glance at Baili Jia Jue. After all, it was hilarious to watch as the gigantic monsters curled themselves up into balls.

Baili Jia Jue took a step forward. He raised his brows before he answered, “This is the second time we meet. We aren’t on close terms.”

The monsters were taken aback. Who was the one who brought us to Tian Dao? We have been tortured by you for a good 500 years, yet you have the face to say that you don’t know us well!

“I reckon they have something to tell you.” Helian Wei Wei tried to hold back her laughter as she spoke.

Baili Jia Jue threw a menacing glimpse at the monsters.

Immediately, the monsters retreated cowardly and continued to roll out of the scene.

“I don’t think they have anything else to say.” Baili Jia Jue lifted Helian Wei Wei up.

Flustered, Helian Wei Wei massaged her temple. Sometimes, His Highness was indubitably potent.

Showered by the black crow feathers, Baili Jia Jue did not have the intention to slow down. His thin and tall silhouette whizzed past before he eventually stopped before the floating magical mirror. He scoffed, “This mirror can show the Six Dao of reincarnation?”

As though she saw something within the mirror, Helian Wei Wei instinctively reached out her hand.

Within a blink of an eye, she felt an intense vertigo before all her senses disappeared.

Unbeknownst to her, the scene within the magical mirror was the incident that happened in the Xumi Mountain a thousand years ago.

It was the extensive Land of Buddha and the boundless lotus.

There was a pathway made of colored glass on the Xumi Mountain. The stairway to heaven, that was concealed by the clouds, meandered down the mountain.

Buddhism feted Tian Dao to celebrate the clearance of the Sea of Blood.

This was originally the Buddhism’s responsibility.

Nevertheless, Buddhism was the party who was supposed to rescue all creatures from their sufferings.

According to hearsay, Phoenix, the only slayer of Buddhism, was injured when she went to the magical realm to kill the demons. Owing to her hard work, the magical realm was finally at peace. However, she was no longer fit to clear the Sea of Blood.

Therefore, Tian Dao had to take over the task to clear the Sea of Blood.

“Is it true that the emperor personally visited the Sea of Blood? Tian Dao will once again get the better of Buddhism.”

“I reckon that as long as the emperor still exists, Tian Dao will always be the best. Isn’t it?”

“Phoenix is no one to be trifled with either. For hundreds of years, Buddhism has been leading in many aspects because of her.”

“Did the emperor visit Buddhism because he was upset by Phoenix?”

“It seems like the both of them dislike each other. When we previously invited Tian Dao over for the banquet, none of them attended, completely insulting the two parties.”

“But, I heard that Phoenix didn’t make it because she didn’t want to miss her prayer. Meanwhile, the emperor was too lazy to leave his home.”

“These are merely excuses. The emperor has always liked soft and gentle women. He probably loathed the sight of the bold and fierce Phoenix, making him reluctant to show up at the banquet. They have never met each other for the past hundreds of years. We can anticipate a squabble during the banquet later.”

Their chatter diminished with distance, together with the clouds that were slowly drifting away. None of them noticed the lady who was standing under the tree. She put down the scripture and showed her face before she chuckled lightly. “How fierce do I have to be to stop people from coming to the banquet?”
