434: Yan Huagu's Rules of Heaven and Earth

The enraged Eternal Night Upper God’s emotions suddenly froze.

“Someone more suitable than you?”

Yan Huagu’s eyes held a hint of amusement.

He deliberately didn’t finish his sentence all at once.

It seemed he just wanted to see the Eternal Night Upper God’s exasperated expression.

“Yan Huagu, what exactly are you trying to play at!?”

The Eternal Night Upper God roared in a deep voice.

“I know you’re in a hurry right now, but don’t be in a hurry yet.”

Yan Huagu’s lips curved upwards.

“I imagine you’re currently paying attention to the situation on the Tianwu Continent, right? If the current master of the Fifth Domain were to serve as your Divine Emissary, you should be even happier.”

“The master of the Fifth Domain?”

The Eternal Night Upper God’s gaze flickered.

He had indeed been keeping an eye on the situation on the Tianwu Continent.

Especially regarding this suddenly rising master of the Fifth Domain, he paid extremely close attention.

Initially, this person entered his sight as a Saint.

But at that time, the Eternal Night Upper God didn’t pay much attention to this master of the Fifth Domain.

However, when the other party was promoted to a Dao Master at a terrifying speed never before seen on the Tianwu Continent, and moreover, achieved Dao Master status through the Heavenly Dao...

This caused the Eternal Night Upper God’s heart and mind to be greatly shaken.

What surprised the Eternal Night Upper God even more was that he was unable to ascertain the other party’s identity!

No matter what method he used to investigate.

He couldn’t find any information related to the other party’s identity.

This made him deeply feel the special and extraordinary nature of this master of the Fifth Domain.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t replace his Divine Emissary right now.

He would definitely choose this master of the Fifth Domain to be his Divine Emissary.

Now, upon learning that Yan Huagu was preparing to vacate his position and intended to let this master of the Fifth Domain become his Divine Emissary...

The Eternal Night Upper God immediately understood Yan Huagu’s intention.

“You intend to bestow your Heavenly and Earthly Rules upon this master of the Fifth Domain, thereby allowing him to become a Demigod?”

“Precisely.”

Yan Huagu nodded.

Given that there were no vacant rule positions on the Tianwu Continent, the only way to be promoted to Demigod was to acquire Heavenly and Earthly Rules from one of the five Demigods.

If Yan Huagu were to bestow his Heavenly and Earthly Rules upon other Dao Masters.

The Eternal Night Upper God would certainly not agree.

But if it were given to this special and extraordinary master of the Fifth Domain, then he would have no objections.

After all, in the Eternal Night Upper God’s mind, this master of the Fifth Domain had greater value and utility than Yan Huagu.

This gradually calmed the anger in his heart.

“Yan Huagu, you’ve finally done something worthwhile.”

The Eternal Night Upper God said indifferently.

He had long been dissatisfied with Yan Huagu.

Not only was he difficult to control.

Furthermore, after becoming his Divine Emissary, he had not provided him with any feedback.

It was entirely a one-sided effort on his part.

He even felt as if he had become Yan Huagu’s tool.

As an Upper God.

In his world, no Demigod would dare to act this way.

But here on the Tianwu Continent… he felt that he had completely lost his divine majesty.

This had caused the Eternal Night Upper God to harbor resentment towards Yan Huagu for a long time.

Yan Huagu, however, smiled meaningfully at this moment.

“Then… farewell, Eternal Night Upper God.”

As soon as his voice fell.

He instantly vanished into thin air from this realm.

The enormous face of the Eternal Night Upper God in the sky frowned deeply.

He always felt that Yan Huagu’s last sentence seemed to carry a hint of schadenfreude.

Connecting this to the special and extraordinary nature of this master of the Fifth Domain.

The Eternal Night Upper God immediately understood why Yan Huagu would have such emotions.

“Does he think… this master of the Fifth Domain will be even harder to control than him?”

“Heh.”

“It seems these years of slumber have left his mind stuck centuries ago, thinking that it’s still when I first encountered the Tianwu World?”

The Eternal Night Upper God sneered repeatedly.

A large part of the reason he was tricked by Yan Huagu back then was because he had only recently arrived in the Tianwu World.

His knowledge and understanding of the Tianwu World were very limited.

But with years of continuous exploration of the Tianwu Continent.

He now had a sufficiently deep understanding of the Tianwu Continent.

It was impossible for him to fall victim to similar schemes again.

At the same time, he also made up his mind.

He would no longer be led by the nose by the Divine Emissary.

This time… he would seize absolute initiative!

Even if it meant prematurely exposing his true intentions, he had to seize the initiative.

He could no longer allow the Divine Emissary to act recklessly.

“This time, I will let this master of the Fifth Domain know what the majesty of an Upper God is!”

The Eternal Night Upper God thought to himself.

While doing so, he began to check Xiao Shi’s success rate through the Upper God’s Revelation.

Soon, he received the revelation.

“Hmm?”

The result of the entire revelation stunned him.

He had not expected the result to be exactly the same as what he had seen on Yan Huagu before, with no changes whatsoever!

This immediately made the Eternal Night Upper God realize that something was amiss.

“Usually, even if the results are similar, as long as they are different people, there will always be some subtle differences…”

“But the result now displayed is exactly the same, with no differences whatsoever!”

“Does this also mean… the revelation I obtained from Yan Huagu actually represents not Yan Huagu, but this master of the Fifth Domain!”

The Eternal Night Upper God suddenly understood.

He had previously felt that given Yan Huagu’s situation.

It was impossible for him to have such a high success rate!

Especially now that Yan Huagu’s life was basically at its end, yet he was still far from becoming a Martial God.

Logically speaking.

Yan Huagu’s success rate should be zero.

However, from beginning to end, Yan Huagu’s success rate showed no change.

Then there was only one possibility!

The person bringing about this success rate was not Yan Huagu.

Yan Huagu was actually just a catalyst!

The true key was this master of the Fifth Domain!

Yan Huagu’s role in this was primarily to act as a go-between for himself!

After all, without Yan Huagu, the Eternal Night Upper God would not have been able to contact this master of the Fifth Domain.

And even if he did contact the other party, the other party might not agree to become his Divine Emissary.

He could only make this master of the Fifth Domain his Divine Emissary through Yan Huagu.

That’s why he received such a revelation from Yan Huagu.

“So this is Yan Huagu’s true purpose!”

The Eternal Night Upper God understood in his heart.

Because his revelation could only show the success rate, and all other information had to be explored by him personally.

Therefore, it wasn’t until this moment that he truly understood this revelation.

This both excited the Eternal Night Upper God and further strengthened his resolve to seize the initiative this time!

He wanted to become the behind-the-scenes decision-maker for the entire Divine Emissary system!

...Soon.

Yan Huagu’s consciousness returned to his body.

He removed his mask.

And directly tossed the mask in his hand to Xiao Shi.

“Done! After I fall, you can use this mask to meet the Upper God.”

Xiao Shi took the mask.

His expression was somewhat complex.

He had already realized that once Yan Huagu gave him his Heavenly and Earthly Rules, it would be very difficult for the other party to continue living.

Yan Huagu, however, didn’t care.

He had long since come to terms with life and death.

The reason he sealed his body and soul, clinging to life, was because he had once learned from the previous Hall Master of Tianji Hall… that this was the only way to resist the Martial Emperor.

At that time, he didn’t quite understand the profound meaning in the Hall Master of Tianji Hall’s words.

It wasn’t until he met Xiao Shi that he realized.

The Hall Master of Tianji Hall wanted him to wait for Xiao Shi’s appearance!

Clearly, the former Hall Master of Tianji Hall had already, through his prying into the Heavenly Secrets, known that a person capable of resisting the Martial Emperor would appear in the future.

“Before I give you the Heavenly and Earthly Rules, there are a few things about the Martial Emperor that I need to tell you first.”

Yan Huagu’s expression was solemn.

“The Martial Emperor’s foundation is unfathomable!”

“Even as his descendant, my knowledge and understanding of him are very limited.”

“In fact, I’ve always felt…”

“The Martial Emperor still harbors some major secrets that I don’t know about.”

“Unfortunately, I can no longer investigate… So, when you face the Martial Emperor, you must be cautious!”

“This is the first point!”

“Secondly, the Martial Emperor’s combat power is formidable! Among those of the same realm, I have never seen anyone who is his match. Therefore, even if he has not yet stepped into the Martial Dao Ninth Realm in this reborn life, you must not underestimate him when facing him.”

“Don’t talk about martial ethics with him; it’s best to team up with the other two Demigods and attack him together, avoiding solo combat with him as much as possible.”

“At the same time, based on my understanding of the Martial Emperor, one of his most powerful methods is his ability to worsen injuries he inflicts, turning minor injuries into severe ones, and severe injuries into critical, near-fatal conditions. Moreover, all injuries he causes are irreversible! This is the most intractable aspect!”

“I once tried to have the Eternal Night Upper God heal my injuries, but even an Upper God was helpless against the injuries caused by the Martial Emperor.”

“This is a powerful and domineering power of annihilation; once wounded by this power of annihilation, recovery becomes impossible!”

“Therefore…”

“When fighting the Martial Emperor, you must beware of being wounded by him!”

“Also, given the Martial Emperor’s unfathomable nature, he might still be hiding other, more powerful methods, but this is already the strongest ability I currently know he possesses!”

“Thirdly, there’s the issue of the Emperor’s Armor on you.”

“The Emperor’s Armor was once a powerful foundation of the Martial Emperor!”

“Although I don’t know why he didn’t reclaim the Emperor’s Armor after his rebirth, it’s best not to use the Emperor’s Armor when you face the Martial Emperor.”

Xiao Shi nodded.

Upon realizing that the enemy behind the scenes was the Martial Emperor.

He understood that he definitely couldn’t use the Emperor’s Armor anymore.

However, the biggest problem now was… he could choose not to use other Emperor’s Armor.

But the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe, he had to keep wearing it.

Without the Martial Emperor’s Royal Robe, his domain would detach from his body and reappear in the Tianwu Continent.

And it would no longer be protected by the Nine Dragons Divine Sky Formation.

In that case.

His domain would become his greatest weakness.

At that time, let alone the Martial Emperor.

Even the other two Demigod Heavenly Kings would be able to threaten him.

Xiao Shi felt that to solve this problem.

He must re-establish a more powerful defense for his domain.

This reminded him of the passage to The Primordial Martial Era… “If I can open a passage to The Primordial Martial Era within my domain, perhaps I can borrow the power of the Martial Ancestor to protect my domain.”

Xiao Shi had an idea.

Currently, he was already trying his best to speed up the opening of the passage.

However, it still required some time.

“Finally, there are the Heavenly and Earthly Rules.”

Yan Huagu said in a deep voice.

“Although I can directly give you my Heavenly and Earthly Rules, this will not enable you to immediately inherit them and become a Demigod.”

“You still need to transform my Heavenly and Earthly Rules into your own Heavenly and Earthly Rules.”

“Under normal circumstances, this would take a certain amount of time.”

“But you no longer have that much time.”

“Because from the moment I revived, the Martial Emperor must have already sensed me…”

“I believe it won’t be long before he follows his sensing of me and tracks me all the way here.”

“Therefore…”

“You must transform my Heavenly and Earthly Rules into your own Heavenly and Earthly Rules and become a Demigod before the Martial Emperor arrives!”

“Otherwise, my Heavenly and Earthly Rules will surely be taken by the Martial Emperor.”

Xiao Shi’s expression immediately became solemn.

In fact, he had already realized this point.

He understood that the Martial Emperor was very likely to come and kill him.

The reason the Martial Emperor hadn’t found Yan Huagu all these years was because Yan Huagu had sealed his body and soul in a coffin.

Now, with Yan Huagu’s revival.

The Martial Emperor would naturally be able to sense his location.

And since the Martial Emperor wanted to gather the five rules of heaven and earth to break through to Demigod and advance to the Martial Dao Ninth Realm.

Then, upon sensing Yan Huagu’s location, he would definitely come to seize Yan Huagu’s Heavenly and Earthly Rules.

“If you want to accelerate the transformation of the Heavenly and Earthly Rules, you can utilize the power of the Upper God; this is also one of the reasons I had you become the Upper God’s Divine Emissary.”

“Only by becoming a Divine Emissary can you complete the transformation of the Heavenly and Earthly Rules in the shortest time, and only then can you contend with the Martial Emperor.”

“Otherwise, once the Martial Emperor comes, you will surely not be his match.”

“As for dealing with the Upper God…”

“I believe you already have a plan.”

Yan Huagu said.

Although he didn’t know how Xiao Shi would deal with the Eternal Night Upper God.

But through his interactions with Xiao Shi and his understanding of him.

He knew that with the other party’s steady and cautious personality, if he didn’t have a way to deal with the Eternal Night Upper God, he would never have agreed to become his Divine Emissary so easily.

He had a strong intuition.

Xiao Shi, in dealing with the Eternal Night Upper God, might give the Eternal Night Upper God an even bigger headache than he did.

Therefore, he wasn’t worried that Xiao Shi would suffer at the hands of the Eternal Night Upper God.

“Fighting the Martial Emperor, it’s all up to you.”

After Yan Huagu had explained everything.

He extended his finger.

And placed its tip on Xiao Shi’s glabella.

Buzz!

In an instant.

Yan Huagu’s Heavenly and Earthly Rules, under his transfer, immediately appeared within Xiao Shi’s body.

Boom!!

Xiao Shi felt his entire brain, along with his body, instantly boil and explode!

Whether it was the Exclusive Dao and the Behind-the-Scenes Dao located in the Dao River of the Tianwu Continent.

Or the Dao of Slaughter within his body.

All of them vibrated wildly the moment Yan Huagu’s Heavenly and Earthly Rules permeated his body!
