Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Grand Palace Lord was a figure of the utmost power. The moment he appeared, the elders of Huatian Palace grew incredibly excited. It was almost as if they had all taken some kind of stimulant.

It was rare for even the senate to be able to see the Grand Palace Lord. Everyone present felt incredibly privileged and lucky. The arrival of the Grand Palace Lord greatly boosted the confidence of the Huatian Palace warriors.

“D*mn it!” Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, his expression one of surprise and anger. The Grand Palace Lord of Huatian palace, Xiao Hongyu, had come. It was said that, 200 years ago, he had been an immortal cultivator in the Supreme Profundity Realm. He had been living in seclusion on the Isle of Peng Lai and it had been a hundred years since anyone had seen him.

The Huatian Palace Projection was a treasure of Huatian Palace and had been helmed by the Grand Palace Lord throughout history. The projection could link up with Huatian Palace directly and create a path between two worlds. Once the Huatian Palace Projection was formed, the powerhouses of Huatian Palace would be able to reach its location in an instant.

The Huatian Palace Projection was an utmost treasure in its own right. It could link up with the power of Huatian Palace and project it despite the distance between the worlds. If Xiao Hongyu had the Huatian Palace Projection, the palace’s combat ability would increase several times over.

In the source world, there were not more than three people who could go against Xiao Hongyu, including the powerhouses from the western world,

The Heretic forces in Huaxia Country had concealed themselves, not daring to venture into the open mostly because they feared the terrifying Grand Palace Lord, Xiao Hongyu.

Jiang Yan had believed that Huatian Palace had only sent Mo Qingge and a few others. He thought that they did not deem the Ghost Lair’s sacred rite important. However, it now transpired that Xiao Hongyu had given Mo Qingge the Huatian Palace Projection. It was evident that he was prepared to act himself.

A figure who was glowing with white light appeared in the Huatian Palace Projection. The light was not strong but gentle. It was a middle-aged man dressed in white. He did not look striking, but his aura was strong and reassuring.

“Is that the Grand Palace Lord of Huatian Palace?” Mo Wen looked up at the legendary figure. His heart stirred with a unique emotion. It was his life’s dream to pursue the Way of Immortals. He had always imagined that he might one day become a powerful immortal. The Grand Palace Lord standing right before him was someone he wanted very much to emulate. Back when Mo Wen had been a member of the Divine Pill Sect, he had never had a chance to meet such a legendary figure. He had never imagined that he would get the chance to see the Grand Palace Lord in this world.

To immortal cultivators, the Primordial Soul Realm was but just an entrance threshold. There was still the Tide Changing Realm, the Supreme Profundity Realm, the Divine Illusionary Realm, the Path Integration Realm, and the Great Path Realm...

The further an immortal cultivator progressed, the more terrifying his skills became. In the end, he would almost be like an immortal. However, the path to immortality was vague and Mo Wen could not even enter the threshold of it. It had been so many years, but he was still pacing before the doors of immortal cultivation.

The moment the Grand Palace Lord, Xiao Hongyu, appeared, the Hades Heavenly Ghost quietened down immediately. That was a rare sight in itself. It did not strike again. Instead, it stared at Xiao Hongyu balefully with slight hesitation in its eyes.

“Are you the representative of the Spirit Realm who is in charge of managing the Source World?” the Hades Heavenly Ghost said lightly. “Your cultivation levels are fairly high, but they are still just so-so. I bet the Spirit Realm did not dare to send someone with too high a level of cultivation. It is typical of the Spirit Realm to behave so carefully.”

As the Hades Heavenly Ghost of the Underworld, it knew why Huatian Palace was in the Source World. Huatian Palace was too powerful. The terrifying power actually came from the Spirit Realm that stood behind Huatian Palace. The Spirit Realm had controlled the Source World for many years.

“Hades Heavenly Ghost, you are still the absolute powerhouse of the underworld. However, you have sent your doppelganger here through another realm and that has weakened your power. The Underworld lost the previous battle, and the Spirit realm won. The thousand-year agreement still exists. Sending your doppelganger to the Source World could be considered breaking the rules. Return immediately and I will not make things difficult for you. Otherwise, you will lose a doppelganger for no reason and that would be a huge loss for you.”

Xiao Hongyu stood in the sky, holding the Huatian Palace Projection. He looked like a deity. At this moment, he was undefeatable and even the Hades Heavenly Ghost, who was extremely powerful in another world, had to follow his rules.

“Are you threatening me?” The Hades Heavenly Ghost’s voice was a little strange. It sounded as if it was trying to keep its anger in check. A cold, devilish aura swept through the grounds, causing the temperature in the cleft space to drop.

Mo Wen’s mind felt hazy. It was as if countless souls and spirits were consuming his soul. Intense pain and fear filled him.

Mo Wen was shocked and he tried to force himself out of that state. However, he realized that he could not do so just by using his own strength. The Hades Heavenly Ghost’s aura itself could affect a person very profoundly, and he was powerless to resist it.

It had not just affected Mo Wen: all the other warriors in the Martial arts grandmaster palace hall were in the same state. Even the most powerful warriors who were in the Third Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm could not help but be affected. Even some elders from the Senate showed signs of confusion in their eyes.

However, this situation did not last for long. The Huatian Palace Projection in Xiao Hongyu’s hands released a ray of white light which immediately swept away the sinister aura in the space. The aura no longer affected anyone.

“If you stubbornly chose to remain here, then don’t blame me for destroying your doppelganger.”

Xiao Hongyu did not seem bothered by the Hades Heavenly Ghost. He released a powerful rush of energy as he spoke and the Huatian Palace Projection glowed brilliantly in the sky. An incomparably powerful rush of energy was released from Huatian Palace and was projected onto Xiao Hongyu.

In just a moment, Xiao Hongyu’s aura grew powerful enough to stifle a strong opponent.

With the power of the Huatian Palace Projection, not even immortal cultivators who were in the Divine Illusionary Realm would be able to kill Xiao Hongyu. The Huatian Palace Projection was the utmost treasure and foundation of Huatian Palace.

After a moment of silences, the Hades Heavenly Ghost spoke. “Hares may pull dead lions by their manes. To think that I would experience something like this!” it said peevishly. “If we were in the Underworld, I would be able to crush an immortal cultivator with your cultivation with just a finger.”

With its abilities, it was not as if it was helpless before Xiao Hongyu. However, the price it had to pay was too high and it was definitely not the best choice it could make. The reward from the Underworld’s Ghost Emperor was not high enough for it to risk its life.

“It is a pity that this is the Source World. There would be a heavy price for you to pay. Even if you transfer all your power here, it would be difficult for you to get even 1/1000 of your strength through after sending your powers such a distance. However, Huatian Palace’s strength is sufficient to defeat 1/1000 of your powers, isn’t it?”

Xiao Hongyu seemed to have already calculated everything as he spoke unhurriedly. He had not struck the Hades Heavenly Ghost’s doppelganger directly because it might retaliate, despite the price it would have to pay.

“I remember you. If you dare to return to the Spirit Realm in the future, I will take your life in the war between the two worlds.”

The Hades Heavenly ghost looked at Xiao Hongyu intently. Then, the blood moon gradually faded. The ghost’s figure gradually faded as well before disappearing completely.

Just then, a voice sounded.

“Lord Heavenly Ghost, please hold on. The Ghost Emperor still has a backup plan. We have not lost yet...”

Jiang Yan, whose expression was out of the ordinary and had changed several times during the earlier conversation, spoke.

“What is it?

The Hades Heavenly Ghost paused and turned around to look at Jiang Yan. The Purple Cloud Ghost Emperor still had a backup plan? Why had it not been told before?

However, the Hades Heavenly Ghost did not see Jiang Yan. Instead, there was a ball of light that was as deep and dark as the black hole. Jiang Yan’s body seemed to have melted completely into the black hole at that instant.

“That is...” The Hades Heavenly Ghost was startled. Shock appeared in its eyes, which had remained calm up till now. It looked at the black hole as if it was mad.

“Oh no!” Xiao Hongyu was the first to realize that something was amiss. His expression changed slightly, and he moved without hesitation. A ray of white light expanded around him, and he quickly gathered the people from Huatian Palace around him.

At the same time, the Huatian Palace Projection in the sky released a brilliant ray of light downwards, enveloping everyone from Huatian Palace within its light. The sacred and holy aura filled every corner of the space.

Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian were shocked as they stared at the black hole. Their expressions were extremely grave.

Mo Wen and the others from Huatian Palace were all confused. They did not know what happened to cause the Hades Heavenly Ghost and Xiao Hongyu to react so dramatically. They looked at each other. Even though they did not know what had just happened, they could all tell that it was something bad.

The black hole that Jiang Yan had turned into spun in the sky. The space around it twisted along with it. However, other than that, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

There was something that attracted everyone’s attention though. Something was slowly making its way out from the black hole. It was a simple and old looking sheepskin book. It seemed very old and its aura made one feel as if it was from an ancient time.

The moment the object appeared, it felt as if it was in control of everything in the heavens and the earth. All the rules of the universe were under its reign and it was as if it was the ruler of the universe that dictated the laws in it.

The Hades Heavenly ghost, Xiao Hongyu, and the Huatian Palace Projection were like candles in a thunderstorm. They were all on the brink of collapse.

“It is the Edict of the God of the Underworld! How is that possible! How could there be something like that?.”

The Hades Heavenly Ghost seemed as if it had seen a ghost as it screamed. It was filled with fear. The fear was natural, and it was from the respect it felt instinctively and from the depths of its soul. No matter how powerful its cultivation levels were and how terrifying it was, this instinctual fear would not change even the slightest.

“The Edict of the God of the Underworld...!”

Mo Qingge and Mo Qingtian were completely stunned. They had never imagined that this legendary object would appear before them one day. They had seen many things, and in the Source World, few were more knowledgeable than them. However, the appearance of the edict was almost like a dream to them. It represented the rules of heaven and earth. It was of the utmost and highest status. How could it appear here?

“Oh no!” Xiao Hongyu said. He breathed in deeply and his expression seemed a little stiff. The Edict of the God of the Underworld! This object had never appeared before, even in the most intense battle between the Spirit Realm and the Underworld. It was now in the Source World! He had deemed the sacred rite of the Ghost Lair very important and had prepared to fight during the rite. However, it now seemed that that was far from enough. It was far from enough...

He feared that something shocking was about to happen...
