190: Chapter 189 Gathering the Power of Death

"Am I truly the Lord of Guixu?"

Ye Xiu's heart wavered slightly.

In just a few hundred years, he had achieved the Supreme Realm, and even his Cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Law was nearing the half-step Supreme Realm.

In terms of talent.

Ancestral Masters of Taoism like Laozi and Master Zhang were the truly brilliant ones.

Even the strongest, Laozi, had spent thousands of years to reach the half-step Supreme Realm.

In terms of Opportunity, who could compare to Xing Mu, who gathered all the favor of the Imperial Court?

Yet even she had spent ten thousand years to break into the Supreme Realm.

And yet, he had only spent a mere few hundred years.

In this dharma-ending age.

The only one who could compare to him was Ji Xingyue.

But Ji Xingyue was Xing Mu's future self, a future self at the Venerable Realm.

Perhaps it was true.

Looking at the Human Emperor's gentle smile.

Ye Xiu was silent for a long time before speaking: "The Lord of Guixu is already thoroughly dead. Regardless of the reason, I am who I am, and it has nothing to do with the Lord of Guixu."

"Brother, you jest. When you truly awaken, you will be yourself."

"Heh... forget it. I can't be bothered to argue. Do you have anything else?"

"The Domain Sea is about to descend into Chaos. The Red-Haired Monster was killed by the Martial Venerable, which will likely attract even more terrifying existences. Hurry up and improve your Cultivation; I cannot hold them off here for long."

The Human Emperor looked toward the Northern Domain and sighed softly.

Ye Xiu did not speak. The Red-Haired Monster was killed by the Martial Venerable?

Damn...

Ever since he saw the monsters in Guixu, he had a bad premonition about these incomprehensible creatures.

They couldn't be killed off.

The more you kill, the more appear.

It seemed the Red-Haired Monsters were the same; killing one was like poking a hornet's nest, and the consequences were terrifying.

Carrying a hint of gloom.

After bidding the Human Emperor farewell.

Ye Xiu walked toward the lower reaches of the River of Time.

The Great Dao river water churned.

Various time-spaces appeared and disappeared below like a movie.

Back then, Yaomei had brought him here.

He had entered worlds of the past.

But now it seemed that the worlds beneath the river water were merely flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water; everything was just an illusion.

He had the thought of wanting to enter.

But before he could even get close to the river water, an extremely powerful repulsive force instantly appeared upon his body.

The entire River of Time was rejecting him.

It did not allow him to enter the timelines of the past.

"After transcending the world and generating the Origin, is it impossible to interfere with things within time? Or is it simply that my strength is insufficient?"

Ye Xiu looked at the churning water of the Great Dao.

He felt a trace of doubt in his heart.

He did not think too deeply about it; he didn't know when the River of Time appeared, nor why it appeared.

The Main World was different from the Immortal Domain.

It was a world isolated by the River of Time.

The entire River of Time was more like a man-made passage, created solely to connect with the Domain Sea.

He shook his head slightly.

Without stopping his footsteps, he had already arrived outside the Main World.

Before this era he was in, that feeling of repulsive force was much smaller.

Immortal power erupted.

He forcibly tore through the River of Time and entered directly into the Main World.

Great Xia Royal Palace.

Old Man Ming looked up and saw Ye Xiu returning.

He whispered: "My Lord, you have returned."

"My Lord? Senior, I cannot bear to be called that," Ye Xiu shook his head slightly, speaking to Ming from a distance.

"My Lord, you jest. If not for you, this world would still be in a state of Chaos."

"Heh heh... suit yourself. Senior, did you have something to find me for?"

Ye Xiu was a bit curious.

Wasn't this old man in seclusion? Why did he suddenly pop up?

"Previously, when Guixu opened wide, some things escaped. They possess extremely dense Death Qi on them; My Lord might find them useful."

"Crawlers? Or Supreme Remnants?"

"Both."

"Then that is worth collecting."

Ye Xiu was somewhat intrigued.

Death Qi was absolutely a great supplement, no less than purple qi.

And purple qi was too hard to come by; only the Imperial Court had stock.

Even if he were to shamelessly ask for it, he wouldn't be able to get much.

But Death Qi was different.

Crawlers evolved from Death Qi, which meant they could be refined back into Death Qi.

If that could really be done.

That would be a significant amount of Cultivation resources.

Ye Xiu nodded at Ming from a distance, then disappeared from the Great Xia Royal Palace.

His senses extended.

Instantly covering the entire Main World.

Immediately, the powerful beings in the world looked up, wondering what had happened and why it had attracted the investigation of a Supreme Realm expert.

Fortunately, Ye Xiu's investigation could only be sensed by those above the Immortal level; otherwise, this world, which had only recently settled down, would have fallen into panic once again.

He focused his mind.

He began to carefully investigate those existences possessing Death Qi.

It took only ten minutes or so.

Before he discovered a motionless Crawler in a certain mountain range.

"Slumber? Or metamorphosis?"

Ye Xiu took a step and arrived directly beside the Crawler.

The mountain was shrouded in black Qi.

Terrifying Death Qi emanated from the Crawler. This black Death Qi was very strong, corroding all plants and leaving the entire mountain range in a state of a dead zone.

He was not in a hurry to refine it.

Instead, he looked at this Crawler and began to study it carefully.

Its consciousness was completely dead.

But because of the Death Qi, its Physical Body was still alive.

Pity...

There wasn't enough Death Qi to support it in moving.

Hum...

Ye Xiu took out the wangquan sword, erupted with immortal power, and directly covered the Crawler.

An endless stream of Death Qi was extracted; the extracted Death Qi surged into the sword body and was stored.

Just like when he stored the black barbs before, with the concealment of Luck, this powerful Death Qi did not leak any aura.

As the time of refinement passed, the Crawler gradually faded.

One day later.

This Crawler, condensed from Death Qi, completely disappeared.

Ye Xiu felt the Death Qi in the sword body. Not bad, one Crawler could actually equal the amount of ten black barbs.

His originally calm face revealed a hint of a smile.

After putting away the wangquan sword with satisfaction, he headed toward the next area.

...

...

Imperial Court.

Xing Mu was playing with the memorials on the desk, feeling somewhat bored.

Just at this moment.

A familiar aura suddenly covered the Main World, which made her pause slightly.

"What is Xiao Ye looking for?"

Her double pupils flickered.

The scene of Ye Xiu refining the Crawler appeared in her vision.

"This power... it's exhausted, yet it can still be so formidable?"

With a hint of doubt.

Xing Mu's gaze was entirely fixed on Ye Xiu.

She stared at the area where Ye Xiu was, observing quietly as if watching television.

Not long after.

A Human Race Celestial Venerable hurried in.

Kneeling on one knee.

Respectfully saying: "Your Majesty, some ancient remains have appeared in the world, crazily devouring living beings. Many affiliated Domains have already suffered."

Xing Mu, who was interrupted, frowned slightly.

She scolded sharply: "What is the Imperial Court raising you for? Directly notify King Shenyi and have him handle it. They are just some unconscious remains. What trash, you can't even solve this."

The kneeling Celestial Venerable, seeing the Star Emperor get angry, dared not even breathe loudly.

After saying "As you command."

He hurriedly withdrew from the main hall, not daring to stay long.
