Chapter 1560: Chapter 135: All Things Return to One

Crash!

Xie Xuanyi looked up.

Only to see, under the relentless punches of the Venerable Sea Overturning, the dark clouds at the Heavenly Peak were shattered into fragments.

Immediately.

Golden dazzling radiance shot from the direction of Fighting Holy Peak, gathering above the Ten Thousand Demons Formation, sprinkling showers upon the mortal realm.

"This is... the aura of the Holy Emperor!"

"It’s the Ancient Array of Fighting Holy Peak!"

Exclamations sounded across the battlefield.

The Great Demons raised their heads one after another.

The Ancient Array of Fighting Holy Peak successfully activated, Divine Radiance descended like a fiery rain, instantly nullifying the suppression of the Ten Thousand Demons Formation. This was a tremendous piece of good news; this formation gathered an immense amount of Demon Blood, under the manipulation of Nether Sea Venerable, even the Qilin Miaofa True Monarch could not escape.

At this moment.

The suppression of the Ten Thousand Demon Array was broken.

The situation on this battlefield drastically changed.

...

...

"Boom boom boom."

Thunderous sounds enveloped all around.

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch wielding the Heavenly Sword strode within the Thunder Pool, with each step, Heavenly Thunder responded.

He exchanged blows with Nether Sea hundreds of times.

The two fought to a stalemate, neither able to defeat the other even if the battle dragged on.

At this moment.

The Ancient Array of Fighting Holy Peak successfully activated, breaking the "balance" between the two.

The Thunder Pool was no longer shrouded in blood light.

The Heavenly Sword of Qilin Miaofa True Monarch gleamed exceedingly bright.

"Nether Sea."

The True Monarch said expressionlessly, "It’s all over... You’ve lost!"

This birthday banquet.

Is the greatest conspiracy he has ever seen.

If the Nether Sea Venerable truly succeeded... half of the Demon Country would be destroyed by his hand.

Ironically, the key to this battle’s victory hinged on a Human Race Cultivator.

Without Xie Xuanyi, the Saint Prince’s group likely wouldn’t have succeeded in activating the Ancient Array.

Alone...

Eventually stood alone in support.

"Is it?"

Nether Sea Venerable looked up, speaking softly.

His eyes didn’t reveal much surprise, only indifferently watching the Divine Radiance at the Heavenly Peak, the scattered twilight, although this realm had a second Ancient Array joining, it was still sealed by the Ten Thousand Demons Formation. All Blood Qi here remained trapped within the celestial cage.

"...Hmm?"

Nether Sea’s reaction somewhat surprised the True Monarch.

He furrowed his brows, Heart Lake vaguely conjuring unease.

Logically speaking... With Ling Chenzi defeated and the formation countered, the outcome of this battle was clear.

Could this guy have other tricks?

"Truly nostalgic."

Nether Sea Venerable looked up and said: "It’s been many years... since witnessing the glow of Fighting Holy Peak..."

Upon this utterance.

Unease in the Heart Lake of Qilin Miaofa True Monarch escalated to the extreme.

He knew about the Shadow’s existence.

He also knew.

The "Nether Sea" who appeared now might be a Substitute.

The real Nether Sea might be sitting in his cave abode, but that didn’t matter; the outcome of this battle was decided. Even if the true body of Nether Sea were outside, he only had to flee. He didn’t mind spending time after settling the incident at Fighting Holy Peak slowly hunting down the Nether Sea Venerable... But if the person before him were a "Substitute," why speak these words with such a nostalgic and poignant tone?

A Shadow is ultimately just a Shadow.

He is different from Nether Sea.

He shouldn’t have remorse or nostalgia.

"You’re right."

Nether Sea Venerable turned his gaze back.

He looked at the True Monarch, smiling gently: "I lost. I didn’t expect you to join forces with Xie Xuanyi... I probably find it hard to continue ’living,’ but you seem to have been mistaken about one thing."

"From the very beginning."

"We never intended to live."

Nether Sea Venerable gathered his smile, raising both hands behind his back.

He spoke lazily and calmly: "After all... From the start, no one knew if that old fellow was still alive."

The Ten Thousand Demon Array, no matter what, was to be activated.

This Great Array.

Was never meant to counter these Great Venerables.

But instead...

To counter the Holy Emperor!

As long as the Holy Emperor remains alive.

Then Nether Sea and Ling Chenzi are bound to die.

So, from the very beginning, they considered "death" as one part of the plan.

"...?"

The True Monarch paused.

He hadn’t grasped the meaning behind Nether Sea Venerable’s words.

Soon, visible to the naked eye, a large amount of ink-like Taoist Intent gushed from the sleeves of Nether Sea Venerable, like mercury spilling, filling the vicinity tens of meters around within moments. The spot where Nether Sea stood transformed into an inky dark pool, this pool’s gloomy evil spirits, evoking extreme aversion from the mind.

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch conceived a thought, intending to punish using Heavenly Thunder, yet the heavenly light from the Thunder Pool fell, only to be wholly absorbed by the ink pool.

His attack did not shake the ink pool.

"Crash..."

Viscous black ink surged at the feet of Nether Sea Venerable.

He stood on the ink pool, his gaze as serene as a body of water.

"What is this?!"

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch clenched his brows, subconsciously retreating.

This ink pool made him sense something amiss.

The black ink pouring from Nether Sea Venerable’s sleeve, rather than Taoist Intent, was another special medium; fortunately, its spread speed was not very fast, slowing after covering twenty meters in radius.

Thunder Pool and ink pool clashed.

The anticipated fiery collision scene did not emerge.

Thunder light swallowed by the ink pool... This seemed like a higher dimensional power, directly devouring everything, submerging.

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch backed fifty meters away.

He stood on a Thunder Sword.

The clear Thunder Pool was muddied by the dark pool water.

This snow-white Thunder Sword, however, remained unaffected.

"This is... the power of another world."

Nether Sea Venerable smiled and said: "North Swamp, haven’t you always wanted to ascend to the ultimate peak? Actually, there’s an opportunity now, the Heavenly Dao has collapsed, those Great Divine Ability Users from a thousand years ago all failed. And now is another grand era, if you’re willing to forsake darkness for light, we can create a brand new Perfect World together."
