    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Lordbluefire <strong>Editor: </strong>Lordbluefire


    For the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms controlled by the Ziwei Divine Court, right now, many years have already passed. The vitality of the entire realm declined and an unknown amount of people have already died mysteriously.


    And as for the main culprit behind everything, he was currently in an exquisite bed chamber in the Eastern Royal Pce, enjoying the taste of a beauty.


    Yue Changkong stood up and nced at the figure with jade-white skin on the bed as his evil eyes gleamed with a hint of wondrous satisfaction. As for Donghuang Ying, her eyes werepletely empty. She had a trace of hatred on her expression as she stared at Yue Changkong. During these years, she felt more pain at being alive than dead. She nned to kill Yue Changkong countless times and have even acted against him. However, Yue Changkong was simply too powerful, she wasn’t able to do anything. Her numerous attempts only resulted in her being defiled by him again and again.


    She spent her days living in hatred and regret. Back then, she was the one who brought this demon into her life. Not only did he defile her, Yue Changkong also defiled many of the beauties in the Eastern Royal Pce. For the males who objected and stood against him, all of them were killed. Currently, Yue Changkong possessed absolute might and authority in the Eastern Royal Pce. Only those who agreed with him were able to retain high positions. Right now, the controllers of the Eastern Royal Pce were mere figureheads, all of them hisckeys.


    “It has been so many years yet you are still so beautiful.” Yue Changkong’s aura had changed again, bing even more evil now. His skin was a ghastly white,pletely pallid without any blood. His finger gently stroked the fair thighs of Donghuang Ying, savouring the softness of her skin. An intoxicated look then appeared on his face. What a beauty.


    “Are you still a human now?” Donghuang Ying insultingly spoke as she stared at Yue Changkong, her tone so cold that it pierced the bone. However, Yue Changkong didn’t care about it. He smiled and looked at the maiden before him. He didn’t reply at all and simply turned around to leave.


    Donghuang Ying wore her clothes and went out from the bed chambers, she went to the sacrificial altar of the Eastern Royal Pce. This was a ce where they gave offerings to the heavenly deities of the Ziwei Divine Court. She woulde here every day to kneel and pray. Today wasn’t an exception as well. A sincere look appeared on her face as she prayed. Although her actions seemed useless for so many years, she didn’t want to give up. This was her only hope.


    Yue Changkong naturally knew she came here every day but he has never stopped her. The Ziwei Divine Court?


    If the heavenly deities of the Ziwei Divine Court wanted to appear, they would have appeared long ago. Everything that happened was silently permitted by the Ziwei Divine Court. But why did they do so? Everytime Yue Changkong thought about this, he would feel an intense coldness in his heart.


    Donghuang Ying knelt and kowtowed, praying before the altar as she piously spoke, “If a heavenly deity can bear my voice, please cast a look at the lower worlds and how miserable this world currently is.”


    “BOOM!” In the air, thunder suddenly crackled as the sky seemed to split apart. A beam of light shed as a heavenly deity appeared, basking in boundless radiance. When Donghuang Ying saw this, she waspletely stunned. A look of wild joy then appeared on her face as she kowtowed, “Deity!”


    Has a heavenly deity from the Ziwei Divine Court finally descended?


    The appearance of a heavenly deity in the mortal world caused intense fluctuations of energy to churn wildly. The heavenly deity flew towards the airspace of the Eastern Royal Pce and stopped there. At this moment, countless people in the pce trembled. For those who were enved, wild joy appeared in their eyes, followed by hope. As for those who chose to submit to Yue Changkong, they now had a look of terror in their eyes. Evidently, they knew very well what they were doing all these years.


    “Yue Changkong.” A voice thundered as heavenly might bore down. Yue Changkong’s figure shed and arrived in the air. When he saw the heavenly deity, he knelt in the air and respectfully greeted, “Disciple Yue Changkong pays my respects to master.”


    “Yue Changkong, you said you would do a good job in governing the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms. Is this the result?” The heavenly deity coldly spoke, his voice thundered through the air, ringing out loud in the ears of everyone. At this moment, tears flowed from Donghuang Ying’s eyes. A heavenly deity was finally about to intervene?


    Now that a heavenly deity was here. The devil Yue Changkong was finally going to pay for his crimes.


    “Master. During these years, disciple has been working hard to govern the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms.” Yue Changkong prostrated himself.


    “You still dare to argue?” The expression of the heavenly deity was ice cold. He then turned towards Donghuang Ying. “Seems like I have been careless and caused all of these to happen. What urred exactly during these years in this world?”


    “Heavenly deity, during these years, Yue Changkongmitted all sorts of evil in the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms. He cruelly killed many people from the Eastern Royal n, those who submitted to him would prosper when those who went against him would be dead. Also, he is iparably brutal, using the lives in this Immortal Realm to cultivate his evil arts. It is unknown how many people have already died for this. Currently, many cities in the world have turned into cities of the dead.” Donghuang Ying sobbed. The expression of the heavenly deity grew colder and colder. He nced at Yue Changkong. “Vile creature, I didn’t expect you tomit such sins. Tell me, do you deserve death?”


    “Master, your disciple will not do this again in the future. Please spare me.” Yue Changkong trembled as he begged for mercy.


    “If I knew today would happen, I would have taken your life back then. I didn’t expect that because of a moment of mercy I showed, things would actually end up like this.” The heavenly deity from the Ziwei Divine Court icily spoke. Astral light shed as a terrifying constetion formation was formed, enveloping Yue Changkong. Boundless light from the formation gushed into Yue Changkong’s body as a terrifying might radiated from the heavenly deity.


    “Master, please spare my life!” Yue Changkong begged in terror. However, there was only coldness in the heavenly deity’s eyes. As more constetion light gushed into his body, Yue Changkong’s body began to disintegrate, forming into flows of energy that flowed back into the heavenly deity’s body.


    In the blink of an eye, Yue Changkong vanishedpletely. When Donghuang Ying saw this, tears flowed uncontrobly down her face. Was that devil finally dead. Is everything concluded?


    “I’ll send some people down to reorganize the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms.” The heavenly deity spoke. However at the instant his voice rang out, his expression suddenly changed. After that, a grey region altered in the air. The atmosphere of the entire Eastern Royal Immortal Realms became greyish with death qi which then began to flow towards the heavenly deity from the Ziwei Divine Court.


    “Who is it? The heavenly deity roared.


    “Master. How can you do this to your disciple?” A voice rang out from the void. The heavenly deity from the Ziwei Divine Court abruptly changed, bing exceptionally ugly. How could this be? After being attacked by his divine art, how could Yue Changkong still be alive?


    “Master, you intentionally kept me alive until today before you sought to kill me. Do you think that disciple doesn’t know of your intentions? The so called Ziwei Divine Art is also an evil art cloaked in the guise of a divine art. After you knew about my experience in the world of reincarnation, you wanted the evil art I learned there. This is why you allowed me toe to the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms and do whatever I wanted to, giving me the utmost freedom to verify my dao. But before I couldprehend my divine will, you intended to absorb everything of mine for your own. Master, are my words right?”


    Yue Changkong’s voice was very soft but seemed extremely bizarre. This entire world was permeated by the greyish death qi and when Donghuang Ying heard Yue Changkong’s words, her countenance instantly paled. How could this be, hasn’t he died yet?


    Also, despair formed in her heart. Could it be that everything that happened was truly silently allowed by the heavenly deity? The lofty heavenly deity allowed Yue Changkong to do everything he wanted to her n because he wanted to absorb Yue Changkong?


    Was this really the esteemed heavenly deity she had been praying to?


    “Vile creature, scram out of my body!” The heavenly deity coldly spoke.


    “Hahaha...” An extremely evilughter rang throughout the sky. The boundless grey of countless ghosts filled the atmosphere of this world, frenziedly gushing into the body of the heavenly deity. Gradually, a giant face appeared on the back of the heavenly deity. This face was actually that of Yue Changkong. It waspletely grey in color and had an extremely evil expression.


    “Master. Today, disciple shall give up my body to attain the dao. For the true intent of dao, disciple can only thank Master for helping me with the final step.” The evil face detached itself from the heavenly deity’s back as it floated up into the air and spoke. Yue Changkong’s body was already destroyed, his words weren’t wrong in the sense that he had given up his body in order to attain dao. His purpose was none other than to enter the soul of his master. After all, he was familiar with his master’s methods and long guessed at how his master wanted to deal with him. During these years, he had used the lives of so many people to cultivate, strengthening himself precisely because he wanted an opportunity to contend against his master.


    After his master appeared, he had still knelt and begged for mercy. Because, if he didn’t do so, he wouldn’t have a chance to enter his master’s soul and unleash the dao heprehended. He would have no way to kill his master who was a heavenly deity if he didn’t do so.


    “A vile beast that can even abandon your own body? Stop with your wild fantasies.” The heavenly deity icily roared. Boundless constetion light radiated forth, bing a resplendent radiance that illuminated the sky. This was a divine art. The radiance permeated his body and entered his soul, wanting to purify it. Yue Changkong’s illusory face started to tremble uncontrobly.


    “Ever since master punished me for my lies in the past, I’ve already decided to give my body to the devil. Now, all the spirits of the deceased here in the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms can be used by me. Since I’ve reached this step, it’s impossible that I’ll tolerate failure.” Yue Changkong roared. In this world, the spirits of the dead all started flying over with rapid speed, their energy infusing Yue Changkong, stabilizing his form and corroding the heavenly deity’s soul.


    Below on the ground, countless people felt chills in their hearts when they saw this scene. One was a lofty heavenly deity while the other was his disciple. However, their conversation caused everyone to feel a bone chilling cold in the depths of their soul.


    Was this the world of cultivation? How cruel and terrifying was it? Yue Changkong was like this, his master was like this as well.


    Donghuang Ying also felt her body turning mmy. So the heavenly deity knew about everything all this while but still chose to close his eyes to nurture Yue Changkong. As for Yue Changkong, he could no longer be called a human. How ridiculous, the heavenly deity she prayed to for all these years, what was the difference between him and Yue Changkong? The heavenly deity was the true main culprit behind all of this.


    At this moment, she couldn’t help but think of the handsome countenance of that young man during the Convention of the Myriad Realms. The young man who was once her friend, the young man who warned her about Yue Changkong. Back then, why didn’t she listen to his advice? The Donghuang Ying now felt her heart turning to ashes. Although Yue Changkong was fighting an intense battle against his master in the air, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of interest to look at them. No matter who the victor was, it was meaningless to her.


    Her heart was already dead.


    After a long time, the battle in the air finally ceased. The grey-colored face of Yue Changkong disappeared. The heavenly deity stood arrogantly in the air but at this moment, a malevolent smile appeared on his face as a voice rang out from his mouth. “I’ve finally seeded.”


    This voice, was the voice of Yue Changkong! After that, the heavenly deity’s face began to change into that of Yue Changkong. His master wanted to seize everything from him, but didn’t he want to do the same to his master as well?


    “You once asked me if I was still a human. I can tell you now that I’m no longer one. I’m a god instead. HAHAHA!” Yue Changkong stared at Donghuang Ying below as an evil smile appeared on his face. His pitiful master thought he had seeded but now, his master has paid the price of everything he had done to him.
