The Fist Emperor frowned and said, "Right now, the Empire wants to purge the factions. If I were to kill Fang Xingjian now, your father will probably turn his spear against me immediately. "Moreover, if you want to seek revenge, you should lower your head and train hard. What's the point of relying on my strength?"
The Fifth Prince lowered his head. At the thought of how Fang Xingjian had worn his armor and dominated the world, his cultivation growing incessantly and even being able to fight against Divine level experts, his heart felt as if it was being bitten by ten thousand ants.
He looked at the Fist Emperor and said, "Then how about this? Elder Brother, please let me cultivate the Asura Path with you."
The Asura Path was a terrifying Killing technique that the Fist Emperor cultivated. It was also a martial art that was cruel to enemies and even crueler to oneself.
"Tigers eat sheep, sheep eat grass, and grass absorbs nutrients from all living things. The nature of this world is a form of cruelty. To be able to understand cruelty, to be cruel to enemies, to be cruel to oneself, to absorb nutrients from cruelty, and to comprehend the balance of the world … this is the Asura Path, "the Fist Emperor said in a low voice.
"When humans are in pain, their potential will be stimulated, and injured beasts will be even more brutal. The Asura Path improves rapidly, but it uses the human body's instincts toward pain and cruelty to stimulate the growth of cultivation. It brings great harm to both the physical body and the mind. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes," the Fifth Prince said. "If I don't kill Fang Xingjian, if I don't completely crush him in terms of power and surpass him, I'd rather die than live."
...
Fang Xingjian was still unaware of the various changes that had taken place in the Empire. After doing some research at the entrance of the temple, he and the Fourth Prince had already confirmed that someone had entered it.
"It seems that someone else has also received the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's legacy," the Fourth Prince said with a grim countenance. "We'll have to be even more careful when we enter this time around."
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way." Fang Xingjian looked at the traces outside the door and said, "The traces disappeared at the door. It seems that something will happen the moment we enter the door."
The Fourth Prince nodded and said, "The Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor from 5,000 years ago was a powerful character who unified the world and led humanity to fend off the fifth onslaught. His Divine level cultivation was probably above level 35, 36, or even 37. He had the powerful ability to control space-time and open up space. I'm afraid that the Nine Nether Vault that he created is not on the continent, but in a space-time that he created himself. "
Fang Xingjian nodded. He looked at the door and said, "Then let's go."
The two of them were on full alert, and the energy in their bodies was ready. They walked toward the door together.
At the next moment, Fang Xingjian and the Fourth Prince entered the temple together. At the instant they entered, a series of light and shadows changed before their eyes, and it was as if time and space had been distorted. When they could see again, they had already arrived in an extremely vast sky.
The entire sky was filled with lightning, thunder, hurricanes, and endless thunderstorms.
Suddenly appearing amidst the layers of storms, the two of them were stunned for a moment. At the next moment, they activated their specialty seeds and stepped into void space, stabilizing themselves with the Void Birth Force.
"Hmm?" Fang Xingjian frowned, and bolts of lightning flashed all over his body. "I can feel an invisible force tearing at the physical particles in my body, trying to suck me underground."
The Fourth Prince's body also flashed with lightning, continuously strengthening the power between the physical particles. He then lowered his head and looked at the layers of hurricanes and thunderbolts under his feet.
"There's a force that continues to break down all physical matter and then absorb them in the direction under our feet." A hint of astonishment flashed in the Fourth Prince's eyes. "It's said that powerful Divine level experts can distort space-time. How big is this Nine Nether Vault that the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor created?"
"I don't know." Fang Xingjian looked at the seething clouds, lightning, burning fire clouds, and flashes of light that were so deep that they could not be seen. He said, "Everything will continue to be sucked into the center. Then let's go down and take a look."
At the next moment, the two of them dashed deep into the clouds. However, after dashing out for several tens of kilometers, Fang Xingjian pulled the Fourth Prince along and came to a stop. The Fourth Prince looked at him strangely and asked, "What's the matter?"
An inexplicable expression flashed in Fang Xingjian's eyes as he said, "Let's wait a while. I've been feeling that there's someone following us along the way. Let's take a look and see if that's the case."
Not long after the two of them left, about one to two minutes later, a stream of gray light appeared. It was the Terrene Shrine's top Elder, the Worm King.
It turned out that the Terrene Shrine had been paying attention to the Fourth Prince's movements all this while.
However, at the instant the Worm King appeared, a stream of sharp sword light burst out from his body, instantly slashing him into several hundred pieces of minced meat.
"Ahhh!" A myriad of agonizing cries rang out from his body, and in that instant, his body turned into a myriad of flying bugs that scattered in all directions.
At the same time as the Worm King scattered, Fang Xingjian's sword fingers moved, and the Light Pursuit sword ripples swept out, wanting to kill the myriad of bugs once again.
However, at the same time that the Light Pursuit sword ripples were activated, waves of black aura rose up from the Worm King's sea of bugs, turning into a myriad of black snakes that collided fiercely with the Light Pursuit sword ripples, fending off Fang Xingjian's attack.
The aura of the black snakes formed a body that had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake. It was like a demon from the legends, standing amidst the thunderbolts and flaming clouds.
The Worm King also reassembled successfully, taking on a human form and hiding behind Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian frowned and said, "World Annihilation Heavenly Lord? You've been following us? " Fang Xingjian had sensed that there was someone chasing after them, and he had brought the Fourth Prince along to pass through spatial gaps. However, he had not been able to shake off that feeling.
Now that he saw the World Annihilation Heavenly Lord appear, he instantly understood why. Divine level martial will could directly scan the existence of spatial gaps, just like how Li Shuanghua had been able to do in the past.
This figure that had emerged from the Worm King's body and was condensed from martial will was the World Annihilation Heavenly Lord. Clearly, he had also sent a portion of his will onto the Worm King's body and had followed the Fourth Prince all the way to the Hades Vault.
Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, the World Annihilation Heavenly Lord said coldly, "That's right. Both you and the Fourth Prince are people who have been blessed by the heavens and have had your own fortuitous encounters. Of course, I'll be keeping an eye on the two of you and snatching your fortuitous encounters. All the things that we obtain from the Hades Vault will definitely belong to our Terrene Shrine."
"Is that so?" Just as the World Annihilation Heavenly Lord finished saying this, another two black shadows descended from the sky. Surges of auras from the Sulfur Purgatory and Hellish Lava came down from the sky, as if dragging the entire space into hell.
"All the lands in the world belong to the Imperial Kingdom. World Annihilation Heavenly Lord, have you asked me before you want to seize the Empire's land?"
At the next moment, a huge black palm descended from the sky.
It was so huge that it seemed to fill up the entire world. It was pitch-black like the River Styx in hell, and violent like the scorching sun in the sky.
Violent powers came smashing down, and the Overturned Hell pressed out. The World Annihilation Heavenly Lord let out an agonizing cry, and the figure that he had condensed from his martial will was sent flying out, shattering and shattering.
The World Annihilation Heavenly Lord screamed, "George Krieg! You've attained the second tier of the Divine level? "
The First Prince's voice seemed to have pierced through time and space, ringing out from all directions. "Fourth Brother, I've long known that you've received the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's legacy. It's one thing that you don't think about cultivating the Path of Hell's martial arts and only want to obtain these small legacies. "However, the country is in danger now, and the situation is changing. Why aren't you coming out quickly and assisting me in retrieving the Hades Vault to replenish the national treasury?"
