Chapter 485: Dongwang Returns

“Changdong, this Secret Realm is not just formations; we can’t intervene here. Do we have any chance of winning?” Shui Mingqin asked.

Everyone looked seriously at Yun Ye, realizing they truly depended on this gifted warrior.

“There must be a chance for us to enter this Secret Realm,” Yun Ye replied, his expression one of surprise, as if questioning how such a question could be asked.

“…Let’s hope so. We cannot gauge your strength; just don’t make a wrong judgment,” Shui Mingqin said, pausing before speaking.

“If we can’t hold it, we still have you all. If we use the Ascension of the Heavenly Path again, we should be able to hold it. My strength is still not enough,” Yun Ye said humbly.

“…” Everyone.

Shui Wuge, who had used the Ascension of the Heavenly Path a second time, still hadn’t awakened; this was quite a cost. Was he trying to make them experience what his sister felt?

Who could tell!

As they thought this, everyone silently agreed not to speak.

Shui Qingya and the others, with even greater strength, grew more quiet; they understood well how difficult it was for them to speak.

Compared to them, Shui Changdong felt like an angel, able to avoid wasting their lives meaninglessly despite their vast strength.

Yun Ye looked up; he had just used True Immortal magic, and now various disaster beasts would likely be alerted.

Red Heaven hadn’t clearly stated the dangers of using True Immortal magic, but Yun Ye knew it was not as simple as just attracting nearby disaster beasts.

“The Supreme Ruler has died. What could possibly cause a practitioner of that level to meet death in battle?”

Yun Ye sighed.

He was almost certain that this apocalyptic scene now was the result of the great ritual being activated.

Someone had successfully completed the great ritual, summoning the World God, resulting in the downfall of the Celestial Empire’s rulers.

As for the reason…

He wasn’t sure what had happened, but before dying, he sealed himself to prevent the key to the great ritual from appearing in the world.

Perhaps the Tomorrow Nation’s destruction led to the sealing being lifted.

However, that possibility seemed low.

The seal was a dual sealing of time and space, slowing down infinitely in time while being banished in space. If someone forcibly broke the seal, their corpse would be directly banished into an unknown space.

Completing the great ritual and summoning the World God in just a few years seemed impossible without prior planning. Yun Ye could hardly imagine what had truly occurred.

In other words…

Yun Ye shook his head; he should deal with the present first. Although the death of the ruler could no longer be considered moments of reincarnation, such a huge event would likely draw the attention of the True Immortals. Even if Red Heaven didn’t mention it, it was impossible he wouldn’t think about it.

“Roar!”

A huge roar pierced through the space, reaching the Secret Realm, causing the entire realm to tremble, far exceeding the earlier vibrations.

“…”

Yun Ye’s pupils slightly contracted.

Although this Secret Realm had become dilapidated and could be invaded by real beings, its essence was still a small world. The external impact was causing the entire small world to shake?

Had a disaster beast far beyond ordinary real beings arrived?

Yun Ye could not ascertain what was happening outside; all he felt was the continuous trembling of the world. After a long time, a tiny crack appeared in the sky.

The Secret Realm had indeed sustained some damage!

Yun Ye did not just watch; he activated the Space Spiritual Law to mend the crack. However, he was only using Space Spiritual Law, not creating a world.

The true damage to this Secret Realm was beyond his ability to intervene.

For the next six months, Dongwang did not launch any attacks, allowing Yun Ye to train in peace.

Yun Ye well understood that the current calm was merely the calm before the storm; Dongwang was certainly preparing something and would not let him advance to the Mystic Realm without a fight.

His displayed talent was too strong; if Dongwang did not eliminate him, he could only flee. Could someone who claimed to be a king truly accept such an outcome?

Yun Ye doubted it, so he could only work hard at building his framework and complete self-Mystic Heaven as soon as possible.

“Now, I’ve completed about 30%. This is troublesome, very troublesome. Do I really have enough time?”

The Mystic Heaven constructed from the ten Zodiac signs was too massive. Even though Yun Ye had an abundance of spirit pills, the pills required time to digest. Even top-grade spirit pills, which had almost no impurities, would still reduce the quality of his magical power if used without restraint and needed time to re-purify.

To bypass this issue, he could only rely on True Immortal magic…

But unfortunately, using True Immortal magic would inexplicably attract disaster beasts. He didn’t want Dongwang to not destroy the Secret Realm only for disaster beasts to invade instead.

…

In the Mystic Heaven, Yun Ye sat cross-legged in the void, having already constructed some of the foundations for his self-Mystic Heaven.

It was a product of layers of rainbow rings.

The diameter was enormous, and there were gaps between each rainbow ring, but they naturally formed strong barriers. Even areas without rainbow rings were enveloped in this barrier, ultimately taking on the shape of a sphere.

Yun Ye now focused on increasing the number of rainbow rings until all the gaps were filled, creating a perfect sphere of infinite Heavenly Stems to complete his advancement to the Mystic Realm.

Currently, it was at 30%, making it impossible to inject magical power without affecting the stability of his self-Mystic Heaven.

Suddenly, Yun Ye felt a violent tremor from the outside world and chaotic space information. His face changed, and he instantly returned to the Secret Realm.

“Bang! Bang! Bang—”

He saw a sword piercing from the extremely distant sky, penetrating the barrier of the Secret Realm space, its sword aura immediately spreading throughout the entire realm.

“It pierced straight through! This is not good; I underestimated Dongwang’s strength… Moreover, it seems that Yin Yue Kong won’t be coming to help either.”

Yun Ye knew they were now at a critical moment. He spread his Spirit Sense to contact everyone.

The confused group immediately heard his voice.

“Everyone, form a formation to suppress this sword! The Secret Realm won’t be easily destroyed. Buy me time; even if it means death, hold the line!”

“Yes!”

The group felt a sense of urgency. The Yin and Yang Spiritual Law only constrained Yun Ye from killing unjustly or deliberately trapping them.

In the current situation, as long as Yun Ye truly had no strength left, they could disobey his orders and he could forcibly control them using Spirit Law.

Shui Riyue was the first to initiate the Ascension of the Heavenly Path, uniting all their powers to mount a defense.

After six months of training, they had reached the peak of the spiritual realm, greatly increasing their strength, and the damage from the Ascension of the Heavenly Path had been healed by spirit pills.

The strong opponents from the Holy Lineage had two opportunities to use the Ascension of the Heavenly Path, enough to hold for a while!

Meanwhile, Shui Wuge guarded Yun Ye, countering all the powers spilling from the shaking sky.

Yun Ye sat atop the high peak, focusing his consciousness in the Mystic Heaven.

He looked at his self-Mystic Heaven, now at 30% completeness. With his hands coming together, he embarked on his most reckless gamble.

“Wood Yin—Death!”

“Wood Yang—Life!”

“Fire Yin—Transformation!”

“Fire Yang—Energy!”

“Earth Yin…”

Under the constraints of self-Mystic Heaven, ten streams of energy converged, beginning to collide and merge in a complexity beyond imagination.

Dongwang had arrived, and there was no time for him to calmly train anymore.

For his self-Mystic Heaven at 30%, in terms of stability, it was enough!
