Chapter 735: Three Calamities to Obtain the Imperial Seal

“Blood Pond Bay, Blood Pond Bay, there is a Blood Pond Bay in the hearts of all beings; it is the tears of the Emperor!”

“Haotian feels hatred; the celestial beings bathe in blood!!!”

“Who prays in the wind? Who sheds tears in the clouds???”

“Blood Pond Bay, the tears of the Emperor… who prays in the wind…”

Li Hui looked at the small water bay before him; it had turned blood-red, radiating endless sorrow, filled with guilt, helplessness, and misery!

The righteous energy of heaven and earth rushed in, pouring into the figure above the water bay.

Countless light and shadow appeared around, and amidst the unclear forms, a magnificent Celestial Palace emerged. Its flying eaves and brackets glimmered in the sunlight, showing auspicious light, and every piece of glazed tile was a magical treasure, covered in Dao Traces!

Li Hui felt enlightenment rising in his heart; the current Dao Trace Stones were fragments from the shattered Celestial Palace, the debris of the palace walls and glazed tiles blasted away, providing great inspiration for the next generations, allowing the path of talismans to ascend to the heavens! Originally, they were already in the sky above.

In the blink of an eye, millions of palaces turned to dust, and the owners of these palaces stood in the sky, leaving only a silhouette. Suddenly, a glimmer of brilliance fell. It was the tears of the immortal emperor, sorrowful for the celestial beings! He also worried for the calamities about to befall all beings; the world was changing!

“Boom…” As the righteous energy stained, the silhouette proclaimed loudly, “Li Hui, you have won. The celestial beings have perished; they will not sink to the depths of blood sacrifice to become Dark Immortals. Here is a drop of my blood-tear, for in my fall, I glimpsed some hidden secrets. Thank you for your faith in the path of the celestial beings; it has restored a fragment of my original awareness! In fact, not only the world you inhabit faces great calamity, but Other Worlds shall also enter tribulation! Soon, the universe will transform into a dark realm, becoming…”

“Crack…” A terrifying lightning bolt fell, striking down the silhouette of the Celestial Emperor, causing all righteous energy to collapse. Li Hui looked up into the sky but found nothing unusual.

At that moment, the water bay before him rose with thick blood mist, a rumbling sound ringed in his ears as it frantically began to repair the silhouette of the emperor. However, the righteous energy had already shattered, and he felt a surge of overwhelming evil awaken.

Li Hui swiftly retreated, his mind echoing with words: “I secretly transmitted the Imperial Seal to you; hurry and leave Blood Pond Bay! That silhouette, which shouldn’t have appeared, has summoned the thirty-three celestial projections. Quickly return to suppress them; be fast!”

This was merely a message, and Li Hui didn’t sense the Imperial Seal the Celestial Emperor spoke of. He flicked his wrist, unleashing dazzling sword light, infused with mighty Extermination Sword’s intent, scattering it as he rapidly retreated into the mist…

“Clang, clang…”

Everywhere were tiny sparks, surprisingly halting the Extermination Sword’s intent. A celestial figure walked out, wielding a three-edged dagger, with a vertical eye opened on its forehead, erupting with terrifying divine light, as if to capture the very souls!

Li Hui found himself face-to-face with the opponent. As the divine light shot toward him, Yang Jiuzhen’s prepared Heavy-Eyed Demonic Eye reacted, not to defend but to absorb.

“Boom…” The fragments of the Reversed Demonic Patterns forming the magic eye began to swirl, momentarily stunning the celestial figure.

Seizing this chance, Li Hui flickered and swiftly dove into the mist, shouting towards the sky, “Fortune stream, bless my soul!”

“Buzz… buzz…” Suddenly, golden light appeared, illuminating Li Hui and forming a grand halo that drove away the surrounding mist, revealing over a dozen celestial projections.

These projections were very close to the present world; they were not the projections Yang Jiuzhen had transferred from the Extreme Huan Continent but existed hidden in the homeland.

The closer the projections got to the present world, the stronger their power became, until they entered the realm and transformed into Dark Immortals.

A dozen celestial beings struck at once, causing the fortune stream to shake violently, nearly collapsing over Li Hui. Fortunately, the Wutu Continent was now prosperous, with thriving populations, unlike the chaotic times of recent years, barely allowing him to return with his Yang God and successfully escape Blood Pond Bay.

“Whoosh…” On the golden silk nanmu bed, Li Hui regained his breath, hurriedly opened his eyes, and touched his forehead, propping himself up to look at Yang Jiuzhen.

“Hubby, you’re back!” Yang Jiuzhen visibly breathed a sigh of relief; it was only then she realized her back was completely soaked.

“Did you make a deal with the Extreme Radiance cultivator, including blocking a blow from Erlang Shen’s three-eyed divine light for me?” Li Hui forcibly pried a cow-eye-sized colorful orb from his forehead. Although sealed tightly by Reversed Demonic Patterns, he could still sense the terrifying power contained within.

Yang Jiuzhen nodded, “Yes! This is indeed what I agreed upon with the Extreme Radiance cultivator, to help hubby survive three calamities! After three times, we have to rely on ourselves.”

Li Hui suddenly understood, “So that’s it! The earth-level Reversed Demons ambushed me at sea when you happened to return from overseas; that must have been the first time. Today is the second time. I wonder what peril will await me in the third?”

Yang Jiuzhen looked at Li Hui, speaking with seriousness, “The third peril is coming soon.”

As soon as her words fell, the temperature in the bedroom plummeted, tinged with a blood-red hue.

Li Hui stared in shock at his surroundings; the golden silk nanmu bed was surprisingly located in the center of Blood Pond Bay, submerged in thick blood.

“Oh?” Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and clutched his chest.

A voice came from the air, “You took my thing, and that item is extremely important; returning would be better! Let me teach you a lesson."

Suddenly, an arm like a lotus root wrapped around Li Hui from behind, with a light reprimand: “Reversed!”

Light and shadow suddenly retreated, returning Li Hui to the bedroom, collapsing onto the grand bed, gasping for breath. Yang Jiuzhen had fallen unconscious, the jade bottle in her hand shattered, stained with her blood.

“I underestimated the danger of the silhouette of Haotian; the emperor warned me to return and suppress immediately, and this immediacy couldn’t be delayed for even a moment.” Li Hui’s eyes radiated cold light; as he focused his thoughts, the heavens responded. His mind linked with Mufeng City, drawing down infinite fortune, rushing toward the Blood Pond Bay shrouded in mist.

“Boom…” The chilling aura suddenly stabilized, beginning to gradually recede.

Li Hui covered his chest and got up; he sensed a jade seal in his heart, but this seal was not real, just a glimmer of light and shadow.

“Is this the Imperial Seal? It seems to possess profound and mysterious traversal abilities, just like the Ideal Body! It can ignore obstacles and freely traverse through time? No wonder the silhouette of Haotian approached the present world without blood sacrifices to the mountains and rivers. It’s a pity… it’s just a glimmer of light and shadow.”

Li Hui bandaged Yang Jiuzhen’s wounds, shaking his head, “This is the price you paid to help me escape three calamities? Your spirit is damaged; you’ll need to sleep for at least several years. With this Imperial Seal, the Ideal Body can reach the Virtual Riding Realm, and it will also allow the Dao Fruit to evolve once.”

As the candlelight extinguished, the room fell into silence. Li Hui closed his eyes and began to meditate, occasionally bursting forth with colors, refining thin strands of black mist, determined to cultivate until the Milky Way ran dry.

At the same time, thousands of bright lights streaked across the sky, falling into the ocean.

Days later, a dense blue glow emerged from the seabed, frantically devouring fish schools and transforming them into blue Demon Fish, swimming with their tails wagging towards the Ancient Continent that fell under the Milky Way.

Afterward, every ten days, a star would fall, and after six months, the sky would showcase a majestic rain of swords, with countless sword lights slicing through the sky, heading toward the Ancient Continent.
