Chapter 649: Assassinating the Rookie King, Red Heaven… Descends!

The power of the Divine Empress had reached its limit, and her management of the heavenly court grew increasingly lax. Over the centuries, many groups saw the hope of flipping the script.

They amassed enough strength, secretly forming interest groups, overshadowing everything, and exploiting their domains.

The five major schools.

The Spirit Plant Pharmaceutical Group.

The colossal conglomerate with a complete industrial chain.

The spirit entity development research institute.

And…

Beyond the Red Heaven, countless worlds occupied, squeezing the marker legions of the heavens.

In some chaotic void, where time and space were unfathomable, several projections of voices emerged, crossing worlds to converse.

“Zhang Jutan can’t turn things around; the evidence is too solid. It directly alerted the Divine Empress and implicated many. This matter cannot just end here.”

Someone stated lightly.

There was no anger or fear in their tone, only a calm and rational judgment.

“Perhaps some people have overestimated themselves. This is disrupting an order that has stood unshaken for centuries. Can they bear the consequences? Some forces in Red Heaven are getting too old; it seems they don’t understand that the ones standing at the top are no longer from the Red Heaven realm!”

“Whoever acts must bear the cost of blood!”

Someone spoke coldly, looking down from above.

“Wanling provided evidence, supposedly received suddenly, and opted to target Zhang Jutan for unclear reasons, which is quite unusual.”

“Wanling, the behemoth of Three Palaces City, is simply outdated, unable to keep up with the times. Once, it barely reigned over a continent, but now it’s only second-rate. Outside Tengzhou, no one knows them; they lack the courage to act against the director of Zixue Academy, indicating someone must be instigating them.”

“Indeed, this is clearly not Wanling’s idea, especially since they’ve recently produced a ‘genius’ who surpasses the Ten Seats… Can Wanling really cultivate such talent? Highly unlikely.”

“The forces behind them are brazenly showing themselves and conspicuously sending Zhang Jutan in; it’s hard to say they’re not trying to lure us into action.”

“It’s just Wanling. What if there’s a hidden hand behind them? They should know their limits, or we might as well destroy them completely.”

“Precisely. The one to first expose themselves will become the target. Since Wanling has been deemed our enemy, it should be eradicated at any cost. Without the outer heavens supplying nutrients, Wanling in the Red Heaven realm cannot sustain itself.”

“That Qing Liu Sheng has already arrived at the Greenstone realm; let’s send a few people to eliminate him. If he grows stronger, he’ll become a nuisance.”

“Agreed, there should be someone at Zixue Academy who can take action; they know exactly what to do.”

In just a few words, an assassination capable of shaking Red Heaven was set in motion.

Assassinating the Rookie King would generate a massive wave of public opinion in the Red Heaven realm, and neglecting it would let it ferment, potentially even alarming the Divine Empress.

Yet, they felt no fear.

In Red Heaven, the Divine Empress suppressed everything, and the Heavenly Crown Artifact restrained all evil. Even minor issues like negligence or exploitation within the government would face sanctions, not to mention outright physical erasure. They too had to follow the rules, just like Wanling.

But beyond Red Heaven, there were no such concerns.

To put it bluntly, even if the Divine Empress personally investigated, she would ultimately return empty-handed, as there were too many methods to bury the traces of their actions.

The most direct way was the "chaotic void," an unknown phenomenon that humanity still could not comprehend, only knowing it as the source that nurtures all.

Anything consumed by the chaotic void was as if it had never existed, causing its presence and traces to vanish from the entire multiverse.

This kind of disappearance is thorough; even the master of the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth cannot trace it.

For those who have grasped countless resources, there are far too many who can be silenced, and erasing traces is just a matter of a finger’s movement.

Even if the Divine Empress is invincible, how can she slaughter at will if she cannot find the source? Such actions are not permitted by the Tomorrow Dao Weapon.

…

As instructions were given, people from various places headed to Bicu World without prior agreement.

At the same time, in the same location, three people gathered.

“King Yu.”

A young man shrouded in ethereal light, his appearance obscured.

“Chi Feiqiao.”

An energy body of extreme cold, existing only as a humanoid projection; it was unclear whether it was a clone or something else.

“Heli.”

A woman with brown hair, her left eye pitch black, and her hair ends adorned with multiple serpent heads, resembling Medusa.

The Red Heaven realm actually has different styles of language, leading to the emergence of diverse surnames. As they explored the multiverse, this phenomenon became increasingly clear.

For practitioners using the formal script of the New Heaven Celestial Empire as their names, the meanings are usually apparent. In contrast, surnames that have been phonetically transcribed from informal scripts reveal nothing, and even those with the same pronunciation carry completely varied meanings due to language differences.

King Yu and Chi Feiqiao exchanged glances, recognizing that this woman was not of the human race.

In today’s era, all foreign races, no matter how similar they are to humans, are regarded as “True Spirits,” facing rejection from the Red Heaven realm.

This rejection is not just from the human race but from the world itself, as they are not native species of the Red Heaven and do not adapt to its rules.

Only when their own world is completely swallowed and becomes a subsidiary of the Red Heaven realm does this rejection lessen; even then, it still exists, making them easily distinguishable.

Before arriving at Bicu World, the three had no interaction and did not know each other, but upon arrival, they became the closest of comrades. Whether or not one is a True Spirit did not matter; what mattered was that they all obeyed the same interest group. They were determined to complete the task before dying, leaving no room for hesitation.

“Target: Qing Liu Sheng. Eliminate him and erase all evidence.”

King Yu, enveloped in ethereal light, stated.

The other two nodded.

In the next moment, a presence belonging to the True Realm burst forth like a storm.

They aimed to strike decisively; Qing Liu Sheng was an unimaginably talented genius. Even if it was determined that no one was there to guard him, he might still have hidden cards.

Talismans, formations, spiritual attire—countless methods could enhance combat power, so this risk had to be acknowledged. Therefore, even though their attackers were peerless geniuses, capable of being invincible at the same level, the group chose not to utilize law realms or Mystic Realms but directly deployed True Realm powers.

“Attack!”

“Directly suppress three realms; even if they try to reverse liberation, they won’t create any waves!”

“Grant you the highest honor in burial!”

The power of the three was dazzling. When they erupted, it seemed as if they were about to pierce the sky; this world could not withstand such tremendous power.

However, this brilliance lasted only a brief moment. After unleashing their full strength, their faces changed: “We can’t break through! This place has long been shrouded by a certain domain!”

As soon as they appeared, they noticed that this area was enveloped by a certain power, but they did not believe it was a Killing Formation aimed at them and failed to recognize the danger within.

It was not until they unleashed their full strength, resonating with this world to crush it, that they realized the power overshadowing this area was indeed formidable. The world shook under the strain, yet this domain remained unmoved!

This was clearly not the kind of power Bicu World should possess!

“We are cut off, separated from the normal time and space of Bicu World. Unbelievable, this power… actually comes from Qing Liu Sheng!”

Chi Feiqiao exclaimed in shock.

He doubted his own perception. After all, what gave a mere practitioner in the spiritual realm the right to challenge them? Was it simply because he was a genius?

At their level, who could be entrusted with important tasks without being a peerless genius? The fact that Qing Liu Sheng could withstand their aura felt bizarre.

“Perhaps he has borrowed the might of formations. Some formations can cross two or three major realms to strike down others, and we are still beneath the Honored Position; we can cut through!”

“Let’s make our move. Just intercepting his aura doesn’t mean much; the key is whether he can withstand a few of our attacks. If things go awry, I will directly Blood Sacrifice both of you!”

King Yu said lightly.

“Killing him is not worth a Blood Sacrifice.”

Chi Feiqiao’s expression changed, and killing intent surged within him.

They were pawns, doomed to die; there was no question about it. But he also had his dignity. Could it be that they had to rely on Blood Sacrifice to complete the task while suppressing three realms of law, Mystic, and True? What kind of garbage had he trained in?

He swept his Spirit Sense over to lock onto the youth below who was looking up. Chi Feiqiao opened his mouth, and a beam of cold light sliced through the air, freezing everything in its path.

Yun Ye did not flinch or evade this move; he allowed the cold light to strike him. As the blue Daoist robe shimmered, the cold light was directly dissipated.

“It’s a defensive treasure that can even negate cold air infused with True Essence. It must be at least a True Treasure level, if not at the Divine Artifact level?”

Chi Feiqiao narrowed his eyes. In the Red Heaven realm, objects generally had universal applicability, and those already under control in Bicu World were even more so.

Facing the vast multiverse, no amount of treasures is ever enough; they are extremely precious and can change the course of a battle.

Such treasures are usually held by top-tier opponents, yet the Wanling Group’s behind-the-scenes power had left one for a still-growing young talent? Just how much do they value him!

“Treasures outside the Red Heaven realm are like water without a source; the more powerful the defense, the shorter the duration! Since ordinary attacks cannot break through his power, we will unleash our full strength. Heli, as a body cultivator, you have the advantage in this aspect; we will assist you!”

“Okay!”

Heli nodded, tilting her head back as her long hair suddenly extended behind her, transforming into dozens or even hundreds of giant snakes that lunged at Yun Ye.

Chi Feiqiao and King Yu moved simultaneously, invoking Spirit Law to enhance their power!

“…”

Yun Ye stepped away from his original position, leaving a clone to continue the game while his true self advanced toward the three.

He wore a smile, eager to see what surprises these three would bring him.

The water-fire ribbons wrapped around his arms uncoiled.

Water and fire intertwined, creating a method for energy transformation, forming a celestial curtain that blocked the way of hundreds of giant snakes, absorbing their attacks with a thunderous sound.

He was well-prepared, responding with ease. King Yu, intrigued, asked, “Qing Liu Sheng, did you already know we were coming?”

“Yes, senior. I truly regret that you have become part of the darkness,” Yun Ye replied.

“Darkness? The world is not just black and white; sometimes, circumstances force a hand. If you don’t face reality, you probably won’t understand. Since you knew we were coming, why not escape?” King Yu said with a gentle smile.

“Is there a need to? Knowing you were coming, I naturally set up a heavenly net.” Yun Ye responded.

“I haven’t seen any hidden practitioners. Oh… there is one, but she doesn’t seem inclined to help,” King Yu noted, sharing a glance with the girl with vertical pupils in the distance. Since she wasn’t going to act, he had no interest in her, knowing that eventually, he would plunge into the chaotic void, leaving no trace behind.

“It’s the struggle between people; why would True Spirits lend a hand? Not pushing things along is already pretty good—” Yun Ye waved his hand, and the power of water and fire covered the battlefield, devouring all strength.

“King Yu, this is a spell that can absorb True Essence. If it doesn’t reach its absorption limit, the power will turn into his aid!” Heli warned.

“The water and fire of Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire can control liquid and plasma states; the rumors are true. He possesses the Spiritual Roots of the Four Elements, truly different from ordinary individuals,” King Yu nodded. The power of water and fire was isolated by the auroras surrounding him, seemingly outside the four states.

“Controlling liquid flow, managing energy in the plasma state, does it mean the absorbed energy is completed through their fusion? It looks like a thorough physical transformation is needed!” Chi Feiqiao said.

Upon hearing this, Heli summoned one hundred and eight beads to merge with the snake swarm.

The swarm of snakes, originally made of True Essence, temporarily gained physical bodies, with all True Essence enhancing the flesh, hidden from external view. With a thunderous crash, the celestial curtain shattered, and indeed, the energy absorption failed.

“What other attacks do you have? You should use them early; you can’t escape this funeral. You should struggle while you still have strength, junior Qing Liu Sheng.”

As King Yu spoke, he suddenly made his move. Auroras descended from the sky, instantly piercing through Yun Ye’s body at various points, but they were all deflected by the blue Daoist robe.

This made the three frown; such a defensive treasure was quite troublesome. If they didn’t have equally powerful treasures, it would take an eternity to exhaust its strength.

Even though they had already sealed Bicu World upon arrival, it was nearly impossible for anyone outside to enter, yet there was still risk.

After all, Qing Liu Sheng had already stated that he had set everything up in advance; there were no hidden strong opponents in Bicu World, but that didn’t mean there weren’t any outside.

If an unexpected event led to mission failure, it would be even more terrifying than death.

“Reforged Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire!”

Seeing that water and fire were ineffective, Yun Ye no longer hid his power. He stepped onto the ground, surrounded by a swirling wind, and with his hands coming together, water and fire surged forth.

The True Essence he “borrowed” played a huge role at that moment, acting as a source of energy to drive this move, letting the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth sweep through Bicu City, shattering everything.

However, this was in another dimension and did not interfere with the actual Bicu City; only King Yu and the others could experience this overwhelming divine might.

The three were stunned, watching their own power be easily obliterated, completely failing to showcase the might of the True Realm.

Though this had to do with their not using all their strength, was it really so outrageous that a practitioner in the spiritual realm could possess the power to oppose the True Realm?

Could it be that this boy was just a step away from becoming the Master of Heaven’s Cavern?

“You really should die, it seems the higher-ups have seen much of your future.”

The three understood why the higher-ups had sent them to kill him. Such a person, once grown, would become another Divine Monarch!

Opening Heaven in the Mystic Realm is fundamentally different from Opening Heaven in the True Realm or Honored Position; the power is not on the same level. This boy, even in the spiritual realm, showed signs of having the might to open Heaven; even if he couldn’t achieve it in the law realms, it was still possible in the Mystic Realm.

They knew all too well that anyone exhibiting such potential would be seen as a target that must be eliminated; it didn’t matter which faction they belonged to.

Mastering the Mystic Realm and becoming the Master of Heaven’s Cavern meant possessing the power to reverse everything, capable of overwhelming even the lords of major powers who had already opened their own caves.

Moreover, unlike the Divine Empress, such beings would not be restricted by the Red Heaven realm and could leave freely!

Even though it was difficult to move after the opening of the cavern and they could only rule over a piece of land, they had directly divided away the glory and power that belonged to them. How could they allow that?

“True Heavenly Spiritual Attire… Super Limit Outfit!”

The three fully unleashed their strength, donning armor and various attires, their auras began to amplify hundreds and thousands of times.

Practitioners who cultivate for three heavens can observe the world from a higher-dimensional perspective, thus gaining various Invincible Powers.

This is a perspective that remains effective even after leaving the Red Heaven realm, albeit with greater difficulty.

However, their self-generated three heavens are established within the Red Heaven realm. Once they leave, the power of their self-generated three heavens will weaken accordingly.

In the Red Heaven realm, self-generated three heavens can store massive amounts of magical power, making practitioners’ endurance terrifying. But once they exit the Red Heaven realm, all these advantages vanish; even Mystic Laws and True Laws become difficult to use, leaving only the power of the Honored Position largely unaffected.

To address this, the Red Heaven realm developed equipment to the extreme.

Spiritual Attire combines formations, spirit pills, treasures, and Talismans, allowing for the storage of vast magical power and loading a multitude of abilities.

Yun Ye’s Wanling Zhenshi has six armed slots and ten technique slots, allowing for the free placement of treasures, arms, and techniques. During battle, it can assist in calculations, instantly switching arms and casting spells.

These six armed slots refer to modules with different functions that can be loaded as needed to deal with various situations.

The more slots there are, the higher the required stability; six slots are already quite impressive.

But the three before him…

All possess nine slots and are using the Super Limit Outfit with all armed modules activated!

The Super Limit Outfit, at the cost of greatly increased energy consumption and the physical body bearing immense pressure, grants power far beyond normal attire.

In the state of Spiritual Attire, practitioners are at their full potential.

Just as past practitioners could never leave their treasures, in this era, without Spiritual Attire, one’s fighting ability cannot compare with those who possess it.

The three acted simultaneously, suppressing Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire.

Spanning three realms, and not truly Opening Heaven and Earth, could these matchless geniuses truly not compete?

Even without using Spiritual Attire, they had the strength to resist; it was just too slow. They had to breach the defensive treasure as soon as possible and Slay it!

“This difficulty is different…”

Yun Ye sighed at this reality. If it had been in the past, could three True Realm practitioners contend against him with the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth?

That would have been impossible!

But times have changed. In this era, geniuses can do so; everyone has learned Extreme Spiritual Law, Unique Law, and evolution techniques.

Every child who embarks on the path of cultivation ranks in the top five thousand of their age group across the continent, and the vast continent sees new births in the hundreds of millions each year…

And it’s not just one continent; talents born in the multiverse are also selected to enter the Red Heaven realm.

The children entering the five major schools are too strong.

Those who reach the True Realm have at least mastered Triple Fusion or an equivalent Spirit Law or Physical Law, while the three facing Yun Ye are all above four-tier.

Reaching the True Realm with four-tier Spiritual Law means their power is truly not inferior to lower-tier Mystic Spiritual Laws, involving various extraordinary concepts, with exceptionally high essence.

“Wanling Zhenshi—Outfit!”

“Evil Spirit God evolution technique!”

Yun Ye also drew upon the power of Spiritual Attire. He had spent the last few days learning how to use it. Although the school strictly prohibited the use of Spiritual Attire in battle, Yun Ye had seen the future and had made some preparations in advance.

This battle was expected.

As he sent Zhang Jutan into the abyss, Yun Ye caught a glimpse of this scene.

Just as the blue Daoist robe remained effective in the Bicu World, so too did the ancient and modern Future Spirit Law; he could observe the Bicu World.

In fact, the effect of the ancient and modern Future Spirit Law far surpassed that of the blue Daoist robe, as this was True Immortal magic. Even if the Bicu World was not under the control of the Red Heaven realm, the ancient and modern Future Spirit Law would still take effect, albeit with slightly weakened power, making it harder to see clearly.

The rules established by the Red Heaven realm continuously interfered with the multiverse and did not only work within the Red Heaven realm. This was most evident with True Immortals, who transcended the moment they received the rules; even after leaving the Red Heaven realm, they would not be swallowed by the chaotic void.

Without a doubt, True Immortals were titans in the multiverse, naturally standing at the top. The innate True Immortal magic that accompanied such existence also had extraordinary power.

Yun Ye mastered multiple True Immortal magics, with Countless True Immortal magic enhancing the Future True Immortal magic, allowing him to see everything.

“Boom!”

The two sides’ powers collided, but ultimately, Yun Ye was defeated. He had only borrowed the True Essence, far from unleashing all of his power.

However, the attacks of the three could not harm Yun Ye in the slightest, as they were all neutralized by the blue Daoist robe.

“You are at a loss for solutions, junior.”

“And…”

“The weakness of this defensive treasure is your Spirit Law, isn’t it?”

King Yu spoke.

His eyes were sharp, and he gained accurate results through his probing.

“Do you have a Spirit Law powerful enough to break through?”

Yun Ye asked in surprise.

The blue Daoist robe could negate the powers of the Honored Position; only the Honored Position Spirit Law could break through.

True Beings could reach the heights of the Honored Position only by relying on external forces; once this power was used, unless the source directly ended itself, it would certainly be detected, uprooting many people.

“I do.”

King Yu replied.

Heli and Chi Feiqiao showed a mixture of despair and calmness.

Blood patterns appeared on both of their bodies, and runes seeped out, forming a strange ritual.

“Blood Sacrifice, offering everything to borrow power. In the Red Heaven realm, it is generally used for curses, but it is merely a minor path.”

“But in the multiverse, it is different. The souls and bodies of the strong are absolutely sought after. As long as there is a Blood Sacrifice, all major worlds are willing to grant divine authority.”

“Even if it is only temporary, that is enough. As True Beings, we either Open Heaven and Earth or create our own authority.”

“Whichever path we take, we have substantial experience in wielding authority.”

“So, Red Heaven…”

“Descend!”
