The savage blade swept across the Void like the Final Judgment itself.

The Great Tao of the Universe has materialized as tangible light currents that coiled around Mount Yujing. However, at this instant, the multitude of light ribbons disintegrated one by one before the terrifying blade of the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation.

Before the blade of the giant, blood-red sword, seemingly formed from the entire Universe, the streaks of light from Illusory Sun Hades were destroyed one by one as well.

“I heard that you have a sword of malice and malevolence, that destroys the Heavens, annihilates the Tao, and rebels against the Greater universe?” Illusory Sun Hades’s eyes glimmered. “The Abhijna you are using right now seems to hail from the same source as the power concept of that sword of yours.”

His enormous body stood in the Void as he spoke with a low voice. “If it was to be so, then, let me see that sword of yours.”

As he spoke, black light flashed between Illusory Sun Hades’s eyebrows.

The black light appeared incredibly dark and mysterious, as if it was the most mystical and arcane being in the universe; but also incredibly bright, like the center of the Cosmos.

The instant the black light appeared, the cries of the Tao became clear and piercing, as if the Greater World itself was letting out a cry of pain and sorrow.

At this moment, even Lin Feng, sitting atop Mount Yujing, raised his eyebrows as he felt monumental pressure.

“Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades.” Illusory Sun Hades said quietly.

The moment the violent black light appeared, it smashed into the energy from Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation. At the point of intersection, the Void became complete nothingness, shattering and becoming chaos. The chaos fell into a dead stupor as Earth, Air, Fire, and Water were annihilated, and new Creation was completely impossible.

The black Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades flashed incessantly, boasting of its immense destructive power. Pure and also extreme, its strength seemed infinite and boundless.

Gazing on this scene, Lin Feng thought, “Similar to, but yet different from the Hades Emperor’s Hades’ Dark Mantra. However, they are both extremely powerful energies of destruction; no wonder it can penetrate the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces. The Hades Tribe certainly lives up to its name.”

“This is the product of the fusion of the Hades Tribe’s Unique Gift and the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao. Only a real Hades Beast could unleash the extreme power within; those like the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and the Golden Roc Grand Sage, although they studied the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao, and even controlled part of the Hades’ Dark Mantra, it could only enhance their own strength to a certain extent, and not unleash its full potential.”

Lin Feng’s left hand formed an arcane gesture, and on his right hand, the index and middle fingers were raised side by side. The many energies fused, powering the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation as it became the one and only blade, meeting Illusory Sun Hades’s Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades.

The savage blade attracted the boundless Savage Energy of the Universe. It was as if everything was coming to its end and the Great Tao was entering its final days; in front of it, all was annihilating relentlessly. The days of everything was coming to its end and destruction was near.

Even for the terrifying black light, as it came into contact with the blade, the point of intersection seemed to be starting to annihilate and disintegrate.

Illusory Sun Hades’s eyes flashed. “Such powerful Annihilation of the Tao Energy...such extreme power concept.”

However, under his commands, the Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades seemed to be limitless and unexhaustible as it flashed continuously. The vast, powerful energy gradually engulfed the giant blood-red sword formed by the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation; as it bore the blade of this Tao-Annhilating Sword, it blasted the giant blood-red sword from all directions.

Although it was annihilating vast amounts of black light constantly, the apocryphal blade formed by the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation was under enormous pressure as well.

Although the sharpness of the blade of a flawless sword was so incredible, slicing through all that stood in its path, countless hammers were constantly smashing into its blade from every single direction, attempting to warp and break it.

Enveloped by the jade-like clouds, standing on Mount Yujing, Lin Feng’s eyes gradually narrowed.

Illusory Sun Hades spoke in a low voice. “Big Luo and the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl are with you. You are the one who foiled Royal Brother Tianhai’s plan, the one who ruined my Tribe’s goal of controlling the Spirit Sea?”

Hearing this, Lin Feng said calmly, “Big Luo and the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl are indeed in my hands. However, as for the Hades Emperor’s plan, its failure was his own doing.”

After seeing everything that happened in the Spirit Sea that day and linking the causes and effects, Lin Feng already understood the Hades Emperor’s complete plan.

The Hades Emperor, Tianhai, died and the other Hades masters were forced to go into hiding. However, Big Luo shed his physical body and demonic powers, and even his Demonic Soul underwent special treatment such that not even his Remnant Soul and memories were preserved. Thus, he managed to escape from the restraint of the white halo formed by the power of the Spirit Sea; after one reincarnation after another, he escaped the surveillance of the Spirit Sea entirely.

After the completion of this step, when Big Luo came into contact with the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl and awakens, he would then be able to reopen the Spirit Sea that was sealed because of the Hades Emperor, Tianhai. That, was a backdoor that the Hades Emperor put there intentionally.

After the Spirit Sea reopens, Big Luo, having been reincarnated as a Hades Beast, will enter the Spirit Sea immediately through the Golden Seal Stone Talisman that was left behind by Tianhai as well.

After Big Luo enters the Spirit Sea, cooperating with Illusory Sun Hades and the other hidden Hades masters, they could wipe away the mark the Spirit Sea left on the Hades masters quickly and then capture the Spirit Sea from the inside and outside.

Back in the days of the Scramble for the Ying Sea, the Big Luo met with the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl and was reincarnated. After that, two years passed in the Greater World, finally allowing the Great Void Sect to enter the Spirit Sea again. If the plan of the Hades Emperor, Tianhai, goes smoothly, the Hades Tribe could even be able to control the Spirit Sea without the knowledge of anyone in the Grand Celestial World.

However, it so happened that Tianhai’s plan encountered problems.

To be exact, the problem wasn’t with the plan itself, but rather the person executing it.

Big Luo was passively reincarnating repeatedly, so naturally, the problem wasn’t him.

From Lin Feng’s inference, in Tianhai’s plan, there should still be someone assisting from the shadows. After ensuring that Big Luo has escaped from the restraint of the power of the Spirit Sea after repeated reincarnations over a long period, he will use the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl to help him to awaken and open the Spirit Sea.

Big Luo reincarnated numerous times as a human, and the memories from his previous lives were scattered and broken. When he just awakened, he needed guidance as well, while ensuring that the Golden Seal Stone Talisman that leads to the Spirit Sea bridge wasn’t lost so that Big Luo can enter the Spirit Sea immediately.

However, this person suddenly disappeared.

Thus, after changing hands several times, the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl ended up in the hands of the Leader of the Aeolus Sect of the human cultivators of the Divine Lands, the Heavenly Wind Holy Man. Meanwhile, the countless people whose hands the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl passed through, as well as those that knew about its existence – none of them really knew about the real purpose of this treasure and its crucial use.

Thus, the Golden Seal Stone Talisman, which was supposed to be in Big Luo’s hands immediately after he awakened, was lost by chance as well and finally ended up in the hands of the East Sea independent cultivator, the Flowing Waves Holy Man.

Perhaps that person died in an accident, and the plan and secret were buried together with him or her. Perhaps, of his own will, after the death of the Hades Emperor and the secret exile of the Hades masters, the person refused to continue to bear this responsibility and mission. Or, perhaps, it was some other reason. Regardless, this person who should be there, no longer exists.

Thus, the plan of the Hades Emperor came to nothing as well – until by chance, Lin Feng took the place of this person. Carrying the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl, he met Big Luo and caused him to awaken, and thus, the Spirit Sea to finally reopen, leading to the series of conflicts in the Spirit Sea afterwards.

It’s just that, although Lin Feng brought the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl and Big Luo into the Spirit Sea, he wasn’t going to continue according to Tianhai’s plan.

“Royal Brother Tianhai’s plan met problems?” Hearing this, Illusory Sun Hades’s eyes flashed, as if he just thought of something.

Quickly, his gaze became grave as he looked at Lin Feng and said, slowly, “The Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl and Big Luo are with you. Sir, you, and my Tribe, must find out who’s the stronger one.”

Less than a hundred years from now, the Spirit Sea will reopen yet again. Then, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Hades Tribe will inevitably enter a showdown surrounding the Spirit Sea.

At that time, apart from them, at the very least, the Great Void Sect will participate as well. Even if the Great Void Sect suffered massive losses in this War of the Two Worlds, as long as their roots weren’t harmed thoroughly, when it’s time for the new Scramble for the Spirit Sea, they will still be a strong contender.

In the previous Spirit Sea accident, thanks to failings in the Hades Emperor’s plan as well as the work of their elders, the Great Void Sect actually became the greatest beneficiary then. When the Spirit Sea reopens again, their chances were even better than that of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Hades Tribe.

If the Great Void Sect survives the tribulations of this War of the Two Worlds, when it’s time to fight again at the Spirit Sea, Big Luo and the Heavenly Oyster’s Golden Pearl will become even more important to the Hades Tribe, as they will improve their chances significantly.

Lin Feng smiled. “You entered into the War of the Two Worlds and stepped into the Divine Lands. There was going to be a showdown between me and you anyway.”

“True. Compared to the Great Void Sect, which is naught but a hollow shell now, you, Sir, are a better opponent – but still, today, this will be your graveyard.” Illusory Sun Hades said.

As his words faded, the Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades that shot out from between his eyebrows became even more vast and powerful, blasting towards Lin Feng and Mount Yujing.

The black light expanded in the Void as massive amounts of runes and divine patterns arranged themselves. In an instant, an arcane yet beautiful sight was formed, filling the entire boundless Void and enveloping everything in the vicinity.

Lin Feng took a long, hard look at it, to see that within the sight, it was a patch of glittering Milky Way.

Not stars formed from Abhijnas or demonic powers, but a patch of the actual Milky Way, enveloping everything in the Void and flashing with bright, blinding starlight.

The starlight fused with the black light, like stars glittering in the vast night skyscape. The majestic strength crushed all dimensional space in the vicinity as it hurtled towards Lin Feng.

The ribbons of light formed by the materialization of the Great Tao of the Universe were completely engulfed by the black light. The cries of the Great Tao, so piercing previously, actually fell into silence gradually; however, the terrifying sensation within the Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades was growing stronger and stronger.

In the distant starry sky, all of a sudden, stars turned extremely bright, blinding onlookers and attracting the attention of all. It was just one or two at first, but soon, there were more and more, denser and denser.

However, across the immeasurable distance, the stars that abruptly became extraordinarily bright were forcibly annihilated by the terrifying demonic powers. Like fireworks, they exploded into their final blaze of splendor and glory; bright but fleeting, and with a sensation of annihilation and death as well.

Looking at the even stronger Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades in front of him, the glow in Lin Feng’s eyes became even brighter, before returning to calmness.

He smiled slightly as his right eye closed. Meanwhile, a sphere of light flew out of his left eye, hovering above Mount Yujing. As the light dissipated, a golden disk was revealed.

With a thought, a streak of purple gas fell onto the disk. Instantly, streaks of golden radiance were emitted from the disk, fusing into the jade-like clouds at the periphery of Mount Yujing.

As he commanded the Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades, Illusory Sun Hades saw the jade-like clouds enveloping Lin Feng and Mount Yujing erupt in a blaze of golden light abruptly. In the Void, the light condensed into a disk; the disk spun around, and suddenly started to attract vast amounts of the black light.

The Supreme Mystical Energy of Hades, which had the upper hand by far, was largely trapped by the suction from the golden disk, and the situation was locked into a stalemate.
