Yan Zhaoge stared at Yang Chong, asking, "From what you said just now, I do not feel that you are doubtful about the current views of the Immortal Court because you comprehended the grand daos of the heavens and earth yourself."
"Since that is so, why are you different from them?"
Yan Zhaoge pointed at Quan Haolong and the others, "I think that someone or something outside must have touched you, causing you …"
A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, "… to enlighten you."
Yang Chong was silent, not speaking.
It was the other person who had been pursuing him who snorted coldly, "Isn't it still because of that relic?"
Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting exchanged glances, both raising their brows slightly, "What relic?"
That person did not conceal anything as he said proudly, "It is naturally the relic left behind by you demons of the external dao after you perished!"
"In this Loathing Square Immortal Realm, the peak experts of our side of Good besieged and slew many of your demons of the external dao, one of them even being an Emperor!"
"There are many traces of battle in the Loathing Square Immortal Realm and its surroundings. Over the years, some have been cleared away, but some have still been buried."
"In recent years, my Lofty Towering World has inadvertently discovered another one."
This person glanced at Yang Chong, feeling rather pained, "He was bewitched by you of the external dao in the process of tidying up that relic, thus falling to such a state!"
Hearing his words, Quan Haolong sighed, looking worriedly at Yang Chong.
In his mind, this senior apprentice-uncle Yang was one of the most outstanding martial experts of his Chaotic Heavenly Sect.
That senior apprentice-uncle Peng was of the same generation as Yang Chong, having entered the sect earlier than him. Still, his cultivation base was much weaker.
Yang Chong was the youngest Seeing Divinity Martial Saint of the Chaotic Heavenly Sect in close to a thousand years as well as the youngest late Seeing Divinity Martial Saint.
Over the years, Yang Chong had also participated in the battles against the filthy lands of Buddhism, slaying many Buddhist and Devil experts.
It was not just the Lofty Towering World. Even the name of the Loathing Square Immortal Realm had spread far and wide, even being thought highly of by some peak experts.
He was of the orthodox Immortal Court.
Everyone had thought that he would be able to become the youngest Immortal Bridge Martial Saint since the founding of the sect, succeeding the old Chief as he became the new Chief, leading the Chaotic Heavenly Sect to new heights and occupying a position in the entire Loathing Square Immortal Realm.
However, not long ago, not long after he led the team to tidy up the ruins, something went wrong.
Quan Haolong, who had always been taken care of by Yang Chong, found it hard to believe at first, but when he saw the treasure light within Yang Chong's body weaken, only fear remained in his heart.
It was hard for him to imagine how Martial Uncle Yang, whom he had always respected and respected, had become like this.
Hearing the other party's words, Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting both frowned.
Both of them had the same thought.
Yan Zhaoge said casually, "Stop boasting. Do you know what an Emperor means?"
The other party laughed out loud. "You don't have to provoke me on purpose. What's the harm in telling you? I can let you heretics know what will happen to you!"
"That person was known as the Dim Radiant Emperor, and his name was Yin Tianxia. The Dim Radiant Sect under his command was a dao tradition that had been passed down between the heavens and the earth even before the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord purified the world."
"After purifying the world, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was benevolent, allowing you heretics and Buddhas to live on. Yet, you do not understand the will of the heavens, continuing to go against the will of the heavens. In the end, you will be punished!"
This Chaotic Heavenly Sect martial practitioner roared, "Not understanding the will of the heavens, not respecting the Immeasurable! What happened to those Buddhas and Devils slain by the experts of the Immortal Court and that Yin Tianxia today will be your tomorrow!"
While his tone was severe, Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting were not in the mood to listen to his nonsense.
Yan Zhaoge raised his head and surveyed the Lofty Towering World before him.
He had indeed been intentionally provoking the other party to speak.
This was because he had already guessed as much earlier.
The Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia had not perished due to the Nine Underworlds or Buddhism as he had originally guessed.
Instead, it had originated from this world of the Immortal Court!
Aside from Yin Tianxia himself, many of his peak experts had perished here as well.
As a result, the Dim Radiant Sect which had once reigned supreme in the World beyond Worlds had ultimately declined.
However, a new question arose.
Why had Yin Tianxia led his subordinates in an expedition here that year?
Was it because he could not stand the sight of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court?
As Fu Ting had said, in the eyes of descendants of the orthodox Three Clear lineages, the actions of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court were not orthodox.
Still, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord had been able to contend with the Future Buddha and the Immortal Court had been able to stand against Buddhism. Their strength was virtually limitless.
The Dim Radiant Emperor did not seem like an arrogant and rebellious person. Why had he come to provoke them?
Was it because he had not been clear about the strength of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court back then, or was it that the Dim Radiant Sect had attempted to make use of the conflict between the blessed lands of Buddhism and the Immortal Court to profit from it, sadly having failed in the end?
Yan Zhaoge unconsciously looked at Fu Ting beside him.
What roles had the Brocade Emperor and the other peak experts of the World beyond Worlds played in this?
Meeting Yan Zhaoge's gaze, Fu Ting immediately understood what he meant.
It was just that she was currently having similar doubts as well.
Filled with doubts, Yan Zhaoge ignored that Chaotic Heavenly Sect martial practitioner who was currently hooting as he instead gazed at Yang Chong, "Is it as he said?"
Yang Chong sighed, "That's right."
"The relic site that we sorted out earlier was not the burial ground of a martial practitioner of the external dao. Instead, it was the remains of a battlefield that was left behind after the battle between the two sides that year."
Yang Chong said slowly, "It was precisely where that Dim Radiant Emperor battled with the bigwigs of my Immortal Court."
Fu Ting said, "A battle between Emperor-level experts or even higher would probably have destroyed this world completely."
Yang Chong explained, "It is just that they temporarily passed through the Lofty Towering World as they battled."
Even so, however, it had still brought about a tribulation for the Lofty Towering World.
This was a heavy, colourful stroke in the history of the Lofty Towering World.
Yang Chong's expression was rather complex, "While it was a heretic who attained the dao, I have to admit that Emperors are Emperors at the end of the day. Those who can be called Emperors are all truly powerful."
"Still, they inadvertently remained after the battle, actually condensing a will which has remained even after all these years."
He coughed dryly, being heavily injured, unable to manifest the scenes within his memories.
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "Pardon me."
He tapped on the other party's forehead, wisps of black qi entering as Yang Chong's eyes instantly became rather dazed.
Fu Ting was slightly shocked, "… Faceless Devilish Scripture?"
The expressions of Quan Haolong and the others all changed greatly as they saw black light emit from one of Yang Chong's eyes.
The black silhouette condensed amidst space, manifesting as an image.
The ruins of the valley were covered in grey haze, neither light nor darkness.
The image of a great battle appeared amidst the grey haze, resembling shooting stars streaking across the horizon as numerous wild tides surged, sweeping through the heavens and the earth.
If it had been during the great battle, Yang Chong would not have been able to understand what had happened between the two sides at all.
Now, however, there were only remnant auras within the ruins of the valley. He could instead see them clearly.
Yan Zhaoge and the others could see them clearly as well.
The first thing that entered their field of vision was a rather familiar figure.
Black clothes and white robes, jet-black long hair cascaded down his back while his brows were pure white.
The black and white of his eyes were distinct, pure to the extreme. The whites of his eyes seemed to emit immeasurable light while his black pupils resembled the deep abyss.
The Dim Radiant Emperor, Yin Tianxia. (To be continued.)
