North Sea slowly let go of his hand that was holding onto the Hundred Seals Deity.
The body that was supposed to be invincible slid down to the ground, crumbling to dust as the wind blew it away.
“Arghhhhh!”
A turbulent white airflow suddenly formed around North Sea, swirling around him as it caused a windstorm.
With the help of the Divine Fire’s combustion, North Sea’s body started to crack as he underwent the most excruciating transmutation to attain divinity.
North Sea’s transformation alarmed many ancient forces of the Underworld.
Subconsciously, they turned their gaze toward Beiqi!
Over the course of time, there were few in the Underworld who dared to attain divinity using such a method.
One would alienate the strongest force of all three worlds by using this method. It was totally impossible to succeed without a strong perseverance.
Moreover, attaining divinity was only a knock on the door. The worst trial along the journey was where one would be hunted down by the world of the immortals.
That very moment, blood rained from the sky with flashes of lightning and storming thunder, as though declaring to the world that a new god was about to be born.
Rip!
A huge crack appeared across the sky, spanning across the horizon. Figures emerged from the crack as they looked at North Sea, who was still in the state of transmutation, with astonishment.
“He’s a rebel of the Heavenless Alliance!” the expression of the leader, Sky Tiger Deity, turned solemn.
The forces that caused the most trouble for the Underworld were not the Three Great Emperors, who did not interfere with worldly matters, nor the ancient hidden deities. Instead, it was the Heavenless Alliance.
They never forgot their enmity since the ancient past.
They did not succumb to living under the domination of Heaven, nor could they let go of the fall of the Underworld. They wanted to use their own power to wreck Heaven and make the Underworld great again.
This force had never been completely uprooted.
Even though their past leader, Bei Li, had been forced to reincarnate, they still managed to hide in the Underworld tenaciously.
“Rebel! Don’t you dare assassinate a god!” the Sky Tiger Deity’s howl formed an ancient character in the sky, landing on North Sea.
Bam!
North Sea smashed the rune with one punch, “Not only do I want to kill the gods, I want to attack Heaven and kill every single one of your kind… hahaha!”
As the Divine Fire burned, North Sea’s body trembled as if he was bearing a huge pain. Nonetheless, a demented smile was plastered on his face.
“His body can’t hold it anymore. If he battles under such a condition, his body will definitely disintegrate!” Bei Li said with a worried expression.
“Die, rebel!”
The Sky Tiger Deity widened his eyes as lightning surrounded him. Countless lightning bolts condensed to form a purple thunder cloud that was gushing with electrical juice while shining with tens of thousands of energy rays.
Boom! Bang!
A huge, thick rod of lightning fell suddenly from the sky. In that instant, the sky was lit up by purple light.
A fist seal shot toward the sky and collided with the thunderbolt.
The collision of the two energy sources caused extreme heat. The air was lit up on fire, forming countless, closely-packed cracks of space.
Bang!
The thunder cloud in the sky trembled and struck more lightning bolts.
This time the fist seal could not block it and was shattered in an instant.
The thick lightning bolts intersected in the sky, forming an even bigger lightning rod that struck fiercely on North Sea’s body.
As the purple rays faded, North Sea’s figure reemerged.
He was hunching his body with his arms hanging by his torso as the blazing Divine Fire burned his body. It seemed as if his condition was bad.
Drip, drip.
With blood flowing from his hanging arms, he slowly straightened his body and looked at the sky, his expression obstinate and unruly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bolts of lightning struck as if it was the end of the world. The entire world was trembling under the thunder cloud’s rampage. It was also the Sky Tiger Deity’s way of announcing to the Underworld his arrival, intimidating them by force.
North Sea wanted to defend the lightning by raising his hand, but he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
His body was regenerating under the burning of the Divine Fire. Even using his own energy became extremely difficult.
Just as lightning was about to strike him, a black shadow appeared behind him. It howled with anger and the loud roar pierced the sky, nullifying the attack.
“Kid, my incarnation can protect you just this once. You will need to save your own skin after this,” the shadow of the Demonic God slowly faded while speaking to North Sea.
“Cough, cough… thanks, old friend.”
“Stay alive for me!”
The moment the Demonic God finished speaking, his figure vanished.
“Since I have made up my mind, it would be terribly humiliating if I can’t get past the first challenge!” North Sea laughed while shaking his head.
As he spoke, he clenched his right fist and hurled it toward the sky. The big fist seal transfigured into a fire-red python in the air, slithering upward. It shattered the lightning bolt that was falling from above and crashed into the thunder cloud.
The burning giant python then transformed into metal chains, binding the entire thunder cloud. Suddenly, the thunder cloud stopped churning.
The Sky Tiger Deity’s expression changed because he realized that his connection with the thundercloud was cut off.
“Bei Li’s Sealing Technique! You are Bei Li’s reincarnation!” the Sky Tiger Deity was shocked and apoplectic.
Who was Bei Li? She was an ancient god in the Underworld, once a major threat to the power of Heaven, and more so the mortal enemy of their people. They had always wanted to get rid of her.
As the Sky Tiger Deity spoke, North Sea slowly raised his head. A pink lotus slowly bloomed from his forehead.
At the same time, Lu Wu found out in surprise that the heat on his forehead had receded. As he reached out his hand to touch his forehead, he realized that the lotus pattern was gone, too.
“He borrowed your seal to prove that he is the true reincarnation of Bei Li. Now you’re safe!” Bei Li looked at North Sea who stood facing the heavens with a sad expression.
“You really are the reincarnation of Bei Li, the God of Rebellion! Hahaha, I must kill you today!” the Sky Tiger Deity waved his hand and a ray of white light pierced through the crack in the sky.
“How about that? Are you scared now? Hahaha!”
Seeing the white ray, North Sea laughed, his expression full of ridicule.
After confirming that North Sea was the reincarnation of Bei Li, the Sky Tiger Deity dared not to be careless. He immediately waved his hand backward, and the few people behind him started assembling a formation with him as the center. Thousands of purple rays gleamed all over the place.
The faint image of a burly, half-naked God of Thunder appeared in the sky. He had wings behind his back, three eyes, a red face and feet like that of a hawk’s. He wielded a wedge in his left hand and a hammer in his right.
As the God of Thunder’s hammer struck, lightning converged in the sky once again, attacking the Underworld over and over.
This time, without waiting for North Sea, three figures appeared by his side and hit upward with full force.
Arctic icicles shot out from the ground, growing upward.
A golden warhammer condensed by the Element of Earth spun rapidly in the air.
A fiery red and enormous sword pierced the sky, as if trying to split the sky in two.
Boom!
The surrounding space started to crack and fall like shattered glass and black distorted space crevices emerged everywhere.
However, even though Frozen and the two had combined their strength, they were still no match for the gods. Their attacks were suppressed by the lightning bolts, and the lightning once again struck the ground.
“Go, leave it to me!” North Sea widened his weak eyes before immediately shoving his fist upward.
A phoenix was conjured mid-air. It spread its wings and flew upward, fanning heat waves every time it flapped its wings.
When the lightning and the phoenix collided, purple and red energies formed a shockwave, squeezing one another.
“Go!” North Sea yelled again.
In fact, this battle had far exceeded North Sea’s expectations. He knew that it was no use even if Frozen and the rest stayed back to help.
In this battle, he can only rely on himself.
“North Sea, you old fool! Even if you order me, I won’t go!”
Frozen’s hands were trembling. The extreme cold and thunder pressured him immensely. He felt as though his body would be crushed by the pressure of the lightning.
“Fuck you, you insolent brat! You’re gonna get your ass whooped after I’m done here!” facing a stubborn Frozen, North Sea lost his temper.
“You’ll need to survive this to beat his ass, you dumb old man!” Da Huo retorted.
“Boss, keep it together! We vow to protect you till you attain divinity!” Lie Shan scrunched his face and grit his teeth.
With the powers of the four combined, the thunder was suppressed on the top of their heads, unable to strike, but it was still pressing down on them inch by inch.
Bang! Boom!
The God of Thunder once again hammered with all his might. Thousands of lightning bolts struck and hit against the energy barrier.
Suddenly, purple light flashed, and the speed of the lightning increased.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Frozen and the rest could not take it anymore. The veins in their body burst, soaking them in blood. Nevertheless, they clenched their teeth and kept on supporting the barrier.
They knew that the key to turning the tide lay in whether North Sea would be able to ignite his Divine Fire. Thus, they could not give up.
Bang! Boom!
The third wave of attacks struck.
“Go, you idiots!” as he saw how Frozen and the others were protecting him with their lives, North Sea could not resist shouting at them.
He had chosen this path of going against Heaven because of his mentor’s decision.
In order to reach his goal, he made Frozen and the rest go into reclusion for more than hundreds of thousands of years. He knew he could have treated them better, and he felt remorseful because of this.
However, this time, they stood by his side resolutely when he ought to have borne the weight of potentially facing death alone. They fought against Heaven with him and were now faced with the risk of having their souls annihilated and being stuck in the Naraka Realm forever without being able to reincarnate.
North Sea could not take it anymore.
“Hey old geezer, when you become a god, I want to be the King of Beiqi… cough…” Frozen said with a trembling body. Suddenly, his Blood Qi began circulating in the wrong direction, causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood.
“Frozen, you idiot lad, I am the one who should be the king… hahaha… cough…” at this moment, Da Huo spoke with a distorted smile before coughing up blood, too.
“Cough… after this battle… if the three of us are still alive… let’s have another battle… the usual… the winner becomes king!”
Hearing Lie Shan speak, the two nodded heavily, coughing up blood but at the same time laughing together.
As he looked at Frozen and the rest, anguish boiled in North Sea.
He could not resist it anymore and howled at the top of his lungs. The enormous phoenix burned once again, holding off against the lightning, pushing up little by little. However, the cracks on his body increased as well.
At that moment, North Sea looked as weak as a porcelain doll that would crumble at a single touch.
“Why? Tell me why! Why must they suffer for my sake!?” Lu Wu yelled at Bei Li, seeing North Sea and the others who were barely supporting themselves.
He once thought that he would have no achievements in life. However, his journey had taken a turn since he met Bei Li. For once in his life, there was excitement and something to hope for.
But this time, his heart was filled with reluctance.
He admitted he was useless, but however useless he was, he would never use someone else’s life as a wager to gamble for his own future. He still had conscience in his heart; he was still that passionate teenager.
Bei Li opened her mouth, but she did not know how to word her sentences.
She could feel Lu Wu’s inner struggle.
She knew that Lu Wu never changed. He just wanted to live happily. As long as he had soul coins and money, his life would be complete.
Even when he got the artifact, he never had the ambition to unify the world or the three worlds.
This time he saw others risking their life to fight for him, fighting to live to the very last moment. He was like a spectator, one who would return to his normal life after everything was over.
Such apathy was making him suffer greatly.
Lu Wu’s struggle and pain made Bei Li feel sorry for him.
“Wu, do you want to help them?” Bei Li looked at him.
“Yes!” through clenched teeth, Lu Wu said without hesitation.
“If we fail…”
“I don’t need ifs, I will bear the consequences of my own doing!” Lu Wu said defiantly.
He knew he was weak, but he was willing to give his all.
Bei Li nodded, and the soul coins stored in the artifact started to burn. Clumps of raw soul power flowed into Lu Wu’s body.
Lu Wu felt his forehead heating up, and the pink lotus seal appeared once again.
Under the overwhelming influence of soul power, Lu Wu felt his body change. The body of Suan Ni faded, and he once again transfigured into a human.
“Wu, we need to awaken your seal. Relax and let the power that lies in the seal guide you!”
Lu Wu gently nodded and closed his eyes. His body floated mid-air under the influence of soul power.
At that very moment, the seal on Lu Wu’s forehead started to bloom.
A translucent white sash slowly covered his body and his figure gradually changed under the shine of the seal.
His body became well rounded and elegant.
The bells strung on a red ribbon on her ankles were ringing in the wind.
At this moment, she opened her eyes.
Her face had a light, gentle smile which was as clear as a pond and she had an elegant vibe that was unworldly. Stardust had fallen into her eyes, with movements as graceful as a fluttering butterfly, her deity-like posture eloquent.
Her crystalline eyes felt ethereal like the darkest star-strewn heavens, as though containing a map of dotted constellations. Starlight glittered in the elegant darkness, her glossy eyes like a doe, giving off vibrant beauty as they twinkled. Her gaze was like a waterfall of moonlight, every frown and smile of hers sent off electrifying ripples while delicateness overflowed in her.
She reached out her hand and pointed before her figure landed softly beside Bei Li, “It’s been some time, little one!”
Bei Li looked at the woman in front of her, and tears swelled in her eyes. She immediately buried her face in her arms crying, “I missed you, I really did!”
“You woke me up after all. How long can I exist?” the lady smiled. The youthfulness she displayed put a damper on the sun and moon.
“The soul power burning inside the artifact can last for an hour!” Bei Li raised her head from the embrace of the lady in white, her eyes glistening with tears.
“Artifact? You’ve grown, little one. You’ve become stronger!”
Bei Li laughed through her tears and nodded firmly, “It’s all thanks to you, elder sister!”
“Don’t thank me. The proudest invention of mine was the Way of Fate, but it seems as if this thing is rather useless and is no match for you,” the lady in white smiled gently, glowing in beauty as she did so.
“Elder sister, the mark has started to burn. Will we meet again after your awakening this time?” as if remembering something, Bei Li’s eyes started to tear again.
The lady in white smiled while patting Bei Li’s head, “Don’t be sad. After all, there’s a new version of me by your side. Don’t you like him?”
Bei Li’s face turned red when she heard this.
Boom!
The loud noise attracted the attention of the lady in white. She looked up at the sky and her expression gradually became cold.
North Sea slowly let go of his hand that was holding onto the Hundred Seals Deity.
The body that was supposed to be invincible slid down to the ground, crumbling to dust as the wind blew it away.
“Arghhhhh!”
A turbulent white airflow suddenly formed around North Sea, swirling around him as it caused a windstorm.
