Chapter 815
Under the witness of countless beings across the universe, the once supremely powerful Nine Nether Lord was getting absolutely wrecked!
This was unimaginable in the past!
Yet, it was happening right before their eyes!
“Ah…”
The Yin Emperor was spitting blood, his body nearly in shambles, looking utterly tragic!
All his once-proud spells turned to dust before the Emperor’s Fist, completely useless!
“Tell me, how did you know about the Spiritual Energy in advance?” Ye Junlin asked.
This was the question he was most eager to know. Rumor had it that the Lord of the Divine Court and the Nine Nether Lord had existed in the universe’s oldest era, not belonging to any worldly race and always staying at the forefront of every age.
Even something like Spiritual Energy could be predicted and known ahead of time, allowing them to become Creation Saints before anyone else!
This made Ye Junlin curious; he wanted to uncover the truth behind it.
At that moment, the Yin Emperor was covered in blood, every part of him damaged, his face nearly caved in, looking horrifying. Faced with Ye Junlin’s question, he showed no desire to answer, his cold, hoarse voice laced with deep-seated hatred.
“Ye Tian Emperor, you’ll regret this. Don’t think that by killing me, you’ve won. My today is your tomorrow! You won’t fare any better than I will!”
With that, the Yin Emperor’s body trembled, and his broken form rapidly dissolved like dust on the wind. Just before his death, he let out a mournful laugh filled with deep resentment.
He didn’t want Ye Junlin to kill him with his own hands, nor did he wish for Ye Junlin to peek into his memories.
This was the last shred of dignity he prided himself on as a higher lifeform!
The Yin Emperor never anticipated that such a terrifying native would emerge in this universe!
Now he finally understood why the Chaos Emperor was so eager to achieve results, even to the point of turning against him, sacrificing the myriad realms to attain divinity.
If things had continued to drag on, there was no guarantee that some exceptionally gifted newcomer wouldn’t pull them down from their lofty altars!
Now, his death was the best proof!
Once a ruler of half the universe, he was forced to end it all himself.
Only Ye Junlin stood there, arms crossed, his tall frame glimmering with silver hair like a shimmering river of stars, every inch of skin glowing like white jade, standing like a godly king above the nine heavens, ruling unchallenged through the ages!
Countless beings were shaken to the core; this scene would be etched in their memories forever!
“Emperor!!!”
It was unclear who shouted first, but soon more voices joined in, erupting until the myriad realms boiled, and the stars trembled, filling the entire universe with a single voice.
This was the highest respect the races paid to the Lord of the Celestial Court, a testament to Ye Junlin’s prestige reaching unprecedented heights!
Before this event, everyone was deeply worried about the future of the Celestial Court, because the Creation Saint and the Lord of the Divine Court were still lurking in the shadows. If either of them took action, the Celestial Court would be in dire straits, and all beings would lose their brief peace, plunging back into that turbulent, dark age!
However, what happened today proved that their worries were entirely unfounded.
Even the powerful Nine Nether Lord was no match for Ye Tian Emperor, ultimately driven to self-destruction!
So, what was there left to worry about?
If previously the beings hailed the Emperor with a hint of flattery, after this battle, it was heartfelt sincerity!
Because only absolute strength could justify the title of Emperor!
“Along with this guy, the Spiritual Energy disappears too. What a sneaky move,” Ye Junlin smirked.
He originally wanted to use a strand of this Spiritual Energy to trace its source, but he was still too late to stop the other’s little tricks.
Ye Junlin concluded there had to be a hidden place in the universe filled with an abundance of Spiritual Energy.
Yet this place was sealed off, unknown to the outside world!
Upon returning to the Celestial Court, Ye Junlin sat on the cold imperial throne, gazing down at the vast universe. In the following time, all strong beings across the cosmos came to pay their respects, just to meet this unmatched Emperor.
This grand occasion lasted for over three months before finally calming down.
Interestingly, Emperor Tian and Luan were eventually released, their expressions incredibly complex. They knew that apart from the former Lord of the Divine Court, no one in this world could pose a threat to Ye Junlin.
Ye Junlin bore them no grudge; after all, those two had good intentions initially, only their paths diverged, and they were more just helpless victims.
“Maybe he really can face the Lord of the Divine Court and guard the myriad realms…” muttered the disheveled Emperor Tian.
“How can a Creation Saint, no matter how powerful, contend with a true deity?” Luan beside him still expressed doubt, but that was no longer his business. The reason they were released was that Ye Junlin didn’t consider them a threat.
After that, Emperor Tian and Luan didn’t scheme over the Star Core but instead devoted themselves to contributing to the Celestial Court.
Everyone let go of their grudges, and they weren’t deliberately ostracized.
Time passed like a fleeting shadow.
The situation in the universe remained calm and peaceful, and beings seemed to forget the earlier fear of being ruled, thriving and prospering.
Yet, some insiders still felt that the real crisis hadn’t been resolved!
Kunlun Realm.
There was a highly influential sect called the Tianji Sect. Many powerful beings from outside the realms would go as far as bringing treasures through dimensions just to seek a divination from the Sect Master.
It was said that the Master of Tianji Sect could understand the past and the future, discern yin and yang, and predict the various affairs of the world, truly a divine figure!
Rumor had it that during the Celestial Court’s campaign against Nine Nether, the Sect Master’s presence was felt as he predicted the unfavorable factors for the Celestial Court, allowing the Celestial Court’s Lord to know in advance and resolve them. Otherwise, the Celestial Court’s army would have faced grave danger and likely been wiped out.
For this reason, the Tianji Sect was of immense merit and received a precious imperial tablet from the Lord of the Celestial Court. This tablet was extremely valuable and could ensure the enduring prosperity of the Tianji Sect!
In an old Taoist temple, a slim middle-aged Taoist sat cross-legged, with a plaque hanging high behind him. This plaque radiated a profound holy aura, and the powerful, flowing characters on it contained an unapproachable imperial might.
“The First Divine Diviner of All Heavens!”
If someone were to see this, they’d surely think it boastful, after all, there were many diviners scattered throughout the realms. Why should one be entitled to such a title?
But if they saw the name inscribed on the plaque, their attitude would instantaneously do a complete 180, filled with respect and unquestioning belief!
The reason was simple: this was the imperial plaque conferred by the Lord of the Celestial Court, with the characters written by his own hand, carrying great authority!
Backed by the Celestial Court, this honor brought the Tianji Sect to an unprecedented height, and the Sect Master, Tianjizi, was revered by thousands, holding a lofty position.
“Master, there’s a noble guest outside who wishes to see you,” a graceful girl called from the door.
She was tall, her skin as white as jade, wearing a dark robe adorned with the Bagua symbol, and had a delicate gourd hung at her waist. Her large, bright eyes sparkled with an inexplicable spirit.
This was the little apprentice who had once been by Tianjizi’s side.
Now she had become the chief disciple and was the most likely successor for the position of Sect Master.
“Let him in,” Tianjizi said, eyes closed, speaking casually.
Soon, a dignified man wearing an antique crown and deep black robes entered the temple with his hands clasped behind him, his expression indifferent, with a cold gaze and an unfathomable aura.
The temperature in the air suddenly dropped significantly.
“Hmm?”
Tianjizi couldn’t help but shiver, opening his eyes in suspicion.
At first glance, he nearly lost his focus.
After stabilizing himself, beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, feelings of trepidation and unease washing over him.
This was the only guest among them that he couldn’t see through. It seemed as though this individual had already transcended beyond ordinary beings, unfettered by the Great Path!
