Chapter 1102: Rage of the Evil Soul!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Under the mana effects of the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell from Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar, the Emperor of the Dead’s body started to rise up slowly, about to break free from the black vortex.

Yan Nanlai and the Qing Yi Holy Woman also directed their gazes at the black vortex shimmering with red light. “His reincarnation and ability to regain his former mastery levels are indeed related to the Netherworld Sea.”

As the Emperor of the Dead took in the sight before him, he snorted and gradually stabilized his body, preventing him from floating upwards. But Lin Feng activated the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation and pressed it down on the Emperor of the Dead, with the violent and ferocious sword aura greatly suffocating him.

On the other side, Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar continued to channel the abhijina of the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, slicing down with rays and rays of mana, overwhelming the Emperor of the Dead whose body was beginning to resurface amidst the black vortex.

The Qing Yi Holy Woman standing at one side let out a long scream as the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light surrounding her body surged up and rippled outwards. She clasped her palms and this mysterious glow cloaked her body. Furthermore, the One Heavenly Primordial Water, originally condensed into a single line, also began to spread itself, blanketing over the Qing Yi Holy Woman and combining with the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light. Her entire being had seemingly morphed into a ray of aqueous light and abruptly charged out of the Blood River Daoist’s thousands of encroaching Hades Blood Lotuses.

However, such a forceful attack caused the One Heavenly Primordial Water and Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light around her body to dim considerably.

The Blood River Daoist’s eyes burned with intense bloodlust, as frightening as ever. The spell conjured in his hands started to change, and the blood clouds above his head churned about violently like boiling water. Gigantic blood bubbles exploded one after another as a thick fog of blood spread incessantly.

Streams of turbid blood rivers gushed forth, intersecting amidst the void and gradually forming a sphere that resembled both a heart and also an enormous drop of blood at the same time. The meridians on its surface were like criss-crossing ravines and gullies, resembling a network of blood vessels that even pulsated continuously.

This formidable and menacing aura dispersed to the surroundings, striking fear into people’s hearts. It felt like the most noxious and evil form of existence in this world.

The Blood River Doaist had summoned the Blood River Dao Fruit which he cultivated.

Besides the Blood River Dao Fruit’s polluted and wretched aura, what drew even more attention was that, the red chaotic void space created from the energy of a heavenly catastrophe began to vibrate after the Dao Fruit was conjured, and the Blood River Daoist’s mana surged with more might and ferocity than before.

Boundless torrents of the sordid Blood River Primordial River flooded the void and entered the Blood River Daoist’s Dao Fruit.

Zhu Yi frowned as he saw the scene unfold. “He can use his own Dao Fruit to channel the Blood River Primordial River from within the Netherworld Sea.”

The Blood River Primordial Water is the one of the most terrifying calamities of the Netherworld Sea, and here, there was an endless Unholy Blood Sea with a roaring, surging Blood River.

If they begin their battle in the middle of the Netherworld Sea, the other calamities would also affect the Blood River Daoist. But inside the space created from the energy of a heavenly catastrophe, the Blood River Daoist had no qualms about accepting the powers of the Blood River Primordial River in spades to raise his own abilities.

The Qing Yi Holy Woman remained unfazed. This was after all within her calculations, but she could now no longer proceed to the Emperor of the Dead’s location.

“Hoot!” The Qing Yi Holy Woman huffed as she spread her arms horizontally to both sides. Two streams of Qi, one black and one white, swirled continuously over her left hand and consolidated into a half-black and half-white Dao Fruit. Lines of black and white stripes intersected in all orientations over the Dao Fruit’s surface. On the other side, streams of golden light and white cloud Qi combined together over her right hand and condensed into a glittering Dao Fruit. Numerous radiantly blinding talisman lines dissipated forth and morphed into golden clouds which spiralled around this Dao Fruit.

As everyone took in this sight, Lin Feng turned back slightly for a glance. “There are certainly two Dao Fruits, but it has also exposed a blatant problem ...”

The Qing Yi Holy Woman joined her palms and the Dao Fruits she yielded in each hand shimmered brilliantly. Under this radiant luster, the two Dao Fruits seemingly merged as one yet vanished at the same time.

The Cheng Heaven Great Void Light around her also increased drastically. It did not increase in brightness, as the light emitted was still not blinding nor eye-catching. It did, however, become more mystifying and unpredictable, indescribable and incomprehensible.

A nine-storey pagoda appeared amidst the light, rising to the sky, seemingly to ferry everyone in the mortal world up to the heavens. This shimmering pagoda landed on top of the Blood River Dao Fruit and instantly clasped onto it by suction.

The Blood River Dao Fruit vibrated non-stop, seemingly about to be taken away by the pagoda amidst the Cheng Heaven Great Void Light.

The Blood River Daoist did not look surprised but his expression turned more serious. His snow-white hair drifted in the air and gradually became dyed blood-red. His pristine long robes, also as white as snow, had also been seemingly smudged by a thick layer of blood, dying the entire piece into a bloodied robe.

The Blood River Dao Fruit suddenly let out a thunderous sound skin to a low-pitched roar of a menacingly evil existence. It instantly stopped vibrating and instead attempted to pollute the pagoda amidst the light.

Both sides entered a deadlock for an instant.

But on the other side, Lin Feng’s actual being and his Thunder Dragon Avatar joined forces and created immense pressure for the Emperor of the Dead.

Lin Feng did not aim to hurt him, but he caused the Emperor of the Dead’s body to float upwards amidst the abyss of the black vortex.

“Senior Qing Ning, please conjure a protective spell for Junior Wu.” Yan Nanlai said in a deep voice and gently lifted his left hand. A seemingly simple rune constructed from a few strokes, yet exuding an incomparably esoteric underlying concept, gradually appeared on the back of his left hand.

The energy flowing from the rune made everyone from the Celestial Sect of Wonders cast a sideways glance. “Is that the Great Void Seal passed down from the lineage of Leaders of the Great Void Sect?”

The glow emanating from the Great Void Seal on Yan Nanlai’s left hand gradually morphed into a cryptic and unfathomable radiance. It became the Cheng Heaven Great Void Light.

Under the protection of the Cheng Heaven Great Void Light, he advanced step by step into the swamp-like red chaotic void space towards the Emperor of the Dead.

When the Emperor of the Dead saw this, he furrowed his brows as the black glow in his eyes flickered. The eyes of his Evil Soul also glowed with a menacing black light as he joined his palms together. Streams of clear flowing water gathered before him. It was not the azure Grand Moon Primordial Water, nor the yellow River Styx Primordial Water. Neither was it the blue Great Chaos Primordial Water, nor the icy Xuanming Primordial Water. It was just ordinary, transparent water that strangely possessed a simple yet grand quality.

This clear stream of water condensed into a Dao Fruit in front of Emperor Xia, resembling an elixir cauldron.

Emperor Xia exclaimed softly as the seas of the Grand Moon Primordial Water also condensed before him into an enormous crucible, which looked exactly identical to the Crucible of the Divine Lands.

Under Emperor Xia’s manipulation, his Dao Fruit that resembled an elixir cauldron infused the Crucible of the Divine Lands created from the Grand Moon Primordial Water. Within the Great Azure Crucible, the River Styx Primordial Water, the Xuanming Primordial Water and the Great Chaos Primordial Water gathered together and kept churning about like boiling water.

Emperor Xia pushed the Great Azure Crucible, hurling it towards Yan Nanlai.

“My apologies, Emperor Xia.” Yan Nanlai remained calm and spread his arms out horizontally in front. A Dao Fruit appeared on both his left and right palms. One originated from the Mantra of the Great Oblivion, and the other originated from the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void.

The Great Void Seal in his left hand glowed, boosting the two Dao Fruits he held. As Yan Nanlai clasped his palms together, they instantly burst with light.

The heart of the radiance was so blinding that it obscured everyone’s vision, but as it dissipated to the surroundings, the light became gentler yet more mystifying and incomprehensible at the same time. It morphed into the unpredictable Cheng Heaven Great Void Light as it dispersed, reaching his own Great Azure Crucible. The crucible vibrated and charged towards the Emperor of the Dead.

The Emperor of the Dead’s expression remained unchanged, not revealing any reactions. Emperor Xia stood in the way of the Great Azure Crucible and thrusted his palms towards the flying crucible. The Great Azure Crucible instantly reversed its direction and shot towards Yan Nanlai again.

Yan Nanlai had the Cheng Heaven Great Void Light as a protective barrier and deflected Emperor Xia’s attack. However, he frowned, as he could feel that avoiding Emperor Xia’s Great Azure Crucible was becoming harder and harder.

At the same time, as he shoved the Great Azure Crucible away, his body was wavering unstably, as if he would be hurled into Emperor Xia’s huge crucible at any moment.

Emperor Xia’s crucible created an enormous suction force like a huge beast opening its gaping mouth, about to swallow Yan Nanlai.

He had heard about how Emperor Xia cooked great demons in his crucible long ago, but before the reincarnation of the Emperor of the Dead and before the Zheng Yi Holy Man brought back the news of Emperor Xia’s death, Yan Nanlai had never expected that he would experience this personally one day.

Yan Nanlai already had a substantial understanding of the Emperor of the Dead’s multitude of spells, not to mention the Qing Yi Holy Woman was at loggerheads with the Blood River Daoist. Even though Yan Nanlai had the Great Void Seal, he was gradually losing his footing against Emperor Xia.

However, Emperor Xia putting Yan Nanlai in check did no favors for the Emperor of the Dead.

Under the mana effects of Lin Feng’s Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell, the Emperor of the Dead still continued to pull himself out of the swirling black vortex.

After carefully sensing the situation, Lin Feng nodded. “So it seems my previous intuitions were correct. Even when I crossed swords with him, I could feel his strength increase continuously, or should I say, regaining his former peak condition. The jump in strength was incredibly miniscule within such a short amount of time, nearly unnoticeable, but it did happen, and at a continuous rate no less.”

As the Emperor of the Dead dragged himself out of the black vortex, Lin Feng could also sense that the increase in his strength, or the recovery of his former mastery, was decelerating and nearing its end.

When he escaped the black vortex completely, his recovery process similarly stopped.

The Emperor of the Dead was well aware of this too. He gazed at Lin Feng expressionlessly, “Good move, Celestial Sect Master.”

The black luster of his eyes flickered, while the black light in Emperor Xia and the Blood River Daoist’s eyes also reached an unprecedented radiance. In the next moment, both of them risked a second clash against the Qing Yi Holy Woman and Yan Nanlai, completely forsaking their self-defence and launching themselves towards Lin Feng.

They conjured another Blood River Dao Fruit and another Divine Lands Furnace Dao Fruit, hurling them right at Lin Feng!
