Chapter 589 550: The Trial Ends
Yi Xuan blinked her eyes and said, "You just tell me the method. Whether it can be done is not your concern. Don't measure others by your own capacity. Once this matter is resolved, you will be free." The Spirit Controller then said dismissively, "The method is quite simple. Using the heart of an Underworld Venerate or a Pioneer can mend the gap in the Seal of Wasteland Soil, causing the two trapped Remnant Souls to fall back into slumber."
After the Spirit Controller finished speaking, Sun Wukong frowned deeply. The heart of an Underworld Venerate or a Pioneer? That really was impossible. Not to mention whether the Underworld Venerate still had a heart, the physical body of the Pioneer had been lost tens of thousands of years ago. Where could one even begin to look? Although Yi Xuan also frowned slightly, she did not make any particular expression but instead nodded in confirmation to the Spirit Controller before beginning to prepare to lift the Soul Locking God Trapping Great Formation. Watching the slight glee in Yi Xuan's eyes, Sun Wukong couldn't help thinking: Could it be that Miss Yi Xuan knows the whereabouts of the heart of an Underworld Venerate or Pioneer?
In releasing the Seal, Yi Xuan did not make things difficult for the Spirit Controller and eventually allowed Sun Wukong to release the Seal Heavenly Stamp. Considering the Spirit Controller's behavior just now, he was definitely very aware of the situation. Thus, Yi Xuan was not afraid that the Spirit Controller would do anything after the Seal was released. As it turned out, Yi Xuan's judgment of character was very accurate. Having regained his long-lost freedom, the Spirit Controller looked deeply at everyone present before standing up and leaving.
An hour later, an authoritative voice echoed throughout the Patrolling Celestial World, "The trials of the Patrolling Celestial World hereby come to an end. All factions performed well. However, there were some with malicious intent. Once again, I, as a Universal Law Enforcer, declare the results of the Patrolling Celestial World trials, where Netherworld World ranks first; Fangcun Spirit Realm second; Myriad Gods Hall third; Ancient Primordial World fourth; Canglan River Realm fifth, and Genesis Divine Nation sixth."
"Myriad Demons Country, having nearly destroyed the Patrolling Celestial World by summoning the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, would have faced severe punishment. Thankfully the people of Netherworld World took heroic actions to save the Patrolling Celestial World, thus Myriad Demons Country is eliminated from the ranks of the Divine Nations, replaced by Genesis Divine Nation. Furthermore, the ownership of the World Suppressing Stele will not change. Newly risen Divine Nations will be compensated in other forms. After the trial ends, on the morning of the third day, everyone will return to their respective realms. I hope everyone diligently continues to cultivate and contributes to the future of the universe."
The Spirit Controller's voice still carried that lofty authority, but at this moment, it was completely devoid of the impact it once had on Sun Wukong and the others. Who could have imagined that when they first encountered the Spirit Controller in the Dragon Valley, Sun Wukong was simply meat on a cutting board, with no choice but to be slaughtered. Yet in a short period, Sun Wukong had become a threat to the Spirit Controller. Perhaps in some sense, Sun Wukong was the biggest beneficiary of this trial.
"Alright, the matters here are basically concluded. We both must leave now. The Elixirs that the Spirit Controller gave you three, take them after you leave this place. I believe that in the near future, this Fang Universe will gain three more Heavenly Venerate powerhouses. Perhaps one day, we will have the chance to fight side by side again. Additionally, Hei Kui, that Evolution of your Blood Prison should not be used lightly; even if used, it should only be when you are sure that the opponent is your sworn enemy and they are already injured."
As soon as he heard it had something to do with his Blood Prison, Hei Kui hurriedly asked again, "Does my Blood Prison have some problem?" Yi Xuan looked at Hei Kui and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Blood Prison is a part of the Fallen Tomb. Although I don't know why you possess the ability to open that plane at will, your Blood Prison indeed contains extreme danger. Even I would barely survive entering it, but at the same time, it also contains immense opportunities. With enough luck, one could even reach the ultimate end of the Supreme Path. So unless it's absolutely necessary, it's better not to use it."
Hei Kui wanted to ask more about the specifics of the Blood Prison because ever since Wu Ming integrated into it, he had gradually begun to sense some special changes after his original Black Prison evolved into the Blood Prison. But before Hei Kui could continue, Yi Xuan already gestured with her hand, signaling him not to ask any more questions. Then she turned to Sun Wukong, "Sun Wukong, come with me. There are things I need to tell you!"
Sun Wukong nodded and followed Yi Xuan to one side. After Yi Xuan casually set up a soundproof array, she began to speak with Sun Wukong about something.
The results of the Patrolling Celestial World trial announced by the Spirit Controller left Sun Wukong and the others feeling indifferent because it was, after all, a result coerced by Yi Xuan. Yet, to others, the announcement was a considerable shock, especially to Ling Weiyang. No matter how much he calculated and plotted, he could never have anticipated such an outcome. After expending so much effort and paying such a high price, not only did he fail to become the winner of the Patrolling Celestial World trial, but he wasn't even part of the Divine Kingdom anymore, a fact that Ling Weiyang found unbearable.
The voice of the Spirit Controller at this moment shattered the previous speculation by Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao that the Spirit Controller might have encountered some accident. Since he could announce the results of the Patrolling Celestial World trial now, and even arbitrarily eliminate his Myriad Demons Country on trumped-up charges, that was explanation enough. Previously, he and Xi Zhao had thought they were cooperating with the Spirit Controller, but now it seemed they were merely being used as pawns, and upon realizing that this pawn wasn't as sharp as they had imagined, the Spirit Controller decisively chose to give up on it. The Spirit Controller really was cunning.
Through this event, Ling Weiyang also deeply understood that no matter how strong external forces or perfect the schemes were, they were ultimately not as useful as one's own power. If he, Ling Weiyang, possessed the power of a Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade right now, let alone the forces chasing after him, even the Spirit Controller himself could be confronted in battle. But now it was too late for regrets. Since the Spirit Controller had declared the Patrolling Celestial World trial over and his Myriad Demons Country eliminated, it seemed even if he could reach the Myriad Demons Palace, it would be pointless. Instead of being chased down until he had nowhere left to run, it would be better to fight with all his might while he still had strength left, and if he fell today, he would take some with him as a cushion. He just didn't know what had become of Xi Zhao.
With that thought, Ling Weiyang's resolve solidified.
When Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others saw Ling Weiyang stop in his tracks and stand with his hands behind his back, suspended in mid-air from afar, they were all greatly surprised. What's going on, why has Ling Weiyang stopped running? By standing like that, was he planning to fight against all of them? Or, after hearing the results of the Patrolling Celestial World trial, did he intend to go down together with them? Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others had naturally heard the results announced by the Spirit Controller, and while rejoicing inwardly, they also couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and were very curious. Wasn't the Spirit Controller in cahoots with Ling Weiyang and his group? Why then did he suddenly declare the Myriad Demons Country eliminated from the Divine Kingdom and instead bring up the already-eliminated Genesis Divine Nation?
Since they couldn't figure it out, they stopped dwelling on this unresolved question. Anyway, no matter what, Ling Weiyang was bound to die today; even though the Patrolling Celestial World trial was over, those who died previously couldn't be resurrected—dead meant dead. Except for the Daoist from the Myriad Spirits Realm who committed suicide and whose soul was guided by Ming Wanjie to the Netherworld World, the rest perished, their souls shattered and their existence extinguished. This grievance of life and death could not be left unavenged. Especially for Rogue Heart Sword Hero, who harbored bone-deep hatred for Ling Weiyang. If it weren't for Ling Weiyang and Tian Meimei meddling back then, how would Wan Jun have fallen into the Demon Path and thus betrayed his master and ancestors?
So seeing Ling Weiyang standing with his hands behind his back, apparently ready to fight to the death, the others hesitated for a moment, worrying this might be a trap set by Ling Weiyang. However, Rogue Heart Sword Hero, wielding the Dragon Origin, dashed forward directly with a flickering figure. And seeing Rogue Heart Sword Hero rushing forth alone, Ling Weiyang too was aflame with rage. This person not only endeavored to kill him but also seized his Power of the Stars. Unforgivable—he must be the first to die by his hand today.
But just as the two were about to collide, their figures abruptly stopped because on each side of them, a group of people charged madly toward them. On Rogue Heart Sword Hero's left side were Soul Devouring Monk, Ling Yi, and four others, including Zhan Yunyi, Du Tianyang, and Shang Sheng from the Netherworld World. On the right side were Old King Fen Yan and Qian Shang, along with Bai Yi and Li. (To be continued.
