240: Chapter 239 Heaven

"The spirits of the world are wailing; it is just that you cannot hear them."

The illusory figure waved its hand slightly, and a shrill, wailing sound, like the screams of some creature, immediately echoed across the firmament.

Ye Xiu's face darkened.

Frowning, he said with dissatisfaction, "Do you take me for a fool? Do you really think you can fool me with this level of illusion?"

"In this world, things exist if you believe in them, and do not if you do not. Just because you heard it, does that necessarily make it true?" The illusory figure shook its head slightly.

It then waved its hand again.

The wailing sound vanished, and a scene appeared in the firmament.

It was the workings of the world.

Countless Domains were vibrant with life, and the Daoist orthodoxies of the Cultivators were extremely prosperous, but behind all this, there was a desperate shortage of Spiritual Qi.

One Immortal after another was devouring Spiritual Qi crazily, as if they were whales gulping down water.

The amount of Spiritual Qi absorbed by a single one of these high-Rank Cultivators was even more terrifying than that of an entire Domain.

The scene shifted.

A Supreme Realm appeared, the Domain collapsed, the Origin was seized, and the living beings became nourishment, turning into monstrous essence that was devoured one by one.

The cruelty of this world was vividly displayed in the scene.

"Too many Cultivators will only make the world crueler. Living beings are too insignificant; the spirit of the world is the spirit of all living beings."

"But by slaughtering all living beings, aren't you also destroying the spirit of the world?"

Ye Xiu frowned, a trace of solemnity in his eyes. This illusory figure was very strong; even with all his senses fully engaged, he still could not determine where its true form was.

Dealing with this guy would likely be difficult.

And...

Were the three Emperors truly in a state of Ascension?

Or was it that their Divine Souls were controlled, or perhaps they were fighting somewhere, battling against the true form of this illusory figure?

It was just that the battlefield of this struggle could not be perceived by him.

"The Reincarnation of the world only wipes out all Daoist orthodoxies and does not have any impact on the mortal Spirit Realm. It is just that after Cultivators lose their supply of Spiritual Qi, some will slaughter living beings in order to seek longevity."

"Heh... What a clever trick of using someone else's hand to kill. Although you didn't act directly, you had long anticipated the death of the living beings. Why pretend to be so noble?"

"This is the evil of the Daoist orthodoxies, so it must be erased."

There was already a hint of gunpowder in the words of the two.

Ye Xiu couldn't be bothered to listen to the illusory figure's nonsense anymore. He gathered the power within his body, sealed the entire The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea, and then struck out with his palm toward the illusory figure.

Die!

The firmament shook.

The Void Realm twisted, and all existence seemed to be infinitely compressed, instantly turning into a molecular state.

But the illusory figure only rippled slightly, without suffering any substantial damage.

It looked at Ye Xiu, whose eyes were cold.

It sighed softly: "It is a pity. A person of your caliber actually does not maintain the workings of the world, but instead wants to oppose the will of Heaven."

"The will of Heaven? Who is Heaven? You? A remnant soul that doesn't even have a Physical Body dares to claim to be Heaven?"

Ye Xiu sneered.

The sword light in his hand flickered, and he slashed directly at the illusory figure, but it still had no effect.

"You are no match for me."

The illusory figure still wanted to persuade Ye Xiu, but as the attacks continued relentlessly, it felt somewhat helpless.

After all, the power required to maintain this manifested state was immeasurable.

If it weren't for the fact that this person before it had already escaped its control.

It would not have manifested itself.

"Why waste words? You keep talking, but you just want me to destroy the world because my appearance has prevented you from starting the Reincarnation Year again. That is all."

Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words.

The illusory figure's expression tightened slightly, and its old face, which had originally worn a kind smile, instantly turned extremely gloomy.

It looked at Ye Xiu coldly, finally ceasing its pretense.

"You are right. I am Heaven. The world needs to function normally. By becoming the spokesperson for Heaven, you can obtain an eternal true spirit. Otherwise, decay will be your only future."

"Heh... Decay? What does time matter to me? As long as my true spirit is immortal, I am eternal."

As he spoke and laughed, Ye Xiu began to swing his sword light, shattering all areas of The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

Except for the area of the three Emperors.

Everything here was being annihilated; the ground shook, and everything was disappearing.

Just as Ye Xiu was about to completely reduce the land to nothingness, the illusory figure moved; it pointed slightly toward the firmament.

This world instantly began to shake.

Terrifying auras condensed in the firmament, and finally, nine Emperors with monstrous auras appeared. Their expressions were indifferent, as if they had no thoughts, leaving only a shell of a body.

"So that's how it is."

Ye Xiu's voice was extremely cold. As he looked at the nine Emperors charging toward him together, his eyes were filled with endless killing intent.

The so-called Ascension Realm was all nonsense.

The three Great Emperors must have discovered the ultimate source of the weirdness, and thus, in the state of their Divine Souls, entered it to battle against it.

The appearance of this illusory figure was merely to harvest the Physical Body of the three Great Emperors.

It just hadn't expected.

Ye Xiu had attained the Dao, and his formidable combat power was even more terrifying than that of the three Great Emperors. It had no choice but to use deception, wanting him to commit the act of slaughtering all living beings for it.

Heaven?

If this old man was truly Heaven.

Then today, he would slay Heaven!

Kill!

With a roar.

The sword light in Ye Xiu's hand reached the sky. After slashing one of the charging Emperors away with a single strike, he immediately engaged in battle with the remaining eight Emperors.

Boom...

The world shook.

The firmament was shattering. The battle on this battlefield was terrifyingly strong.

Everywhere they went, everything shattered and collapsed.

The nine of them intentionally avoided the direction of the three Great Emperors, which surprised Ye Xiu. He himself did not want to extend the battle over there either.

After all, the Physical Body of the three Great Emperors were there.

Although they would not be easily destroyed by them, their battle had too much destructive power, and it was very likely to affect the Divine Souls of the three Great Emperors.

Therefore, they all stayed away from that area.

Die!

After kicking one person away, Ye Xiu pressed his sword light down, directly slashing him until he exploded.

But the next scene slightly surprised him.

After that person was killed by the sword light, he immediately condensed in the Void Realm and appeared on this battlefield again.

"An immortal and indestructible attribute? Heh... I actually forgot you had this ability. However, I am not someone who can be stopped by nine corpses without Divine Souls."

Ye Xiu sneered.

Purple energy surged, and a mantra instantly condensed.

Freeze!

The nine charging Emperors all shuddered and were completely sealed.

"This Cultivation Technique of mine is called the Taiyi Sutra. Its only ability is that wherever the mantra is, magical power follows. No one can solve it for the time being. Heaven, how about you come down and play?"

"I did underestimate you."

The illusory figure's eyes narrowed slightly, and it pointed a finger, causing the nine Emperors to dissipate one after another.

Hum...

The illusory figure was gradually solidifying.

Blood energy was monstrous, shooting straight into the clouds.

As its body became more and more solid, a beam of blood light condensed in the old man's eyes. It looked at Ye Xiu and spoke with slight hesitation.

"All worlds are void; only by following the will of Heaven can one be eternal and immortal."

"Don't waste your breath. Your Divine Soul is not here. Relying solely on a physical shell, I'm afraid you cannot defeat me."

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly.

Purple rosy light illuminated the sky, and with the condensation of the character "Suppress", this firmament was completely sealed. Even the old man's heaven-soaring blood energy could not spread out.

"A very miraculous ability. Are you really not planning to become the spokesperson for Heaven?"

The old man looked at the character on the firmament with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The last person who was so stunning had already been dead for seven Reincarnation Years.

He didn't expect another one today.
