"Hmmm... I wonder just what kind of existence could cause such incident... Nobody saw or heard anything and the whole sect just disappear in a single night..." Said a curious voice belonging to a young girl.

She's currently investigating the currently empty .

It was a little girl that looked like she had just started stepping into adolescence.

She looked to be around fourteen to sixteen years of age. If anyone had seen her, they would have never believed their eyes. She looked like an immaculate jade carving. Her eyebrows were perfectly shaped crescents, her eyes shone like the stars, her lips were luscious, and every inch of her resembled that of a stunning jade statue.

Her build was small and she wore a colorful skirt. The seven colors on her skirt clashed with the gray and dark setting of this realm. As the mountain winds blew across, her skirt revealed a pair of white jade-like thighs. Her snowy white feet were fitted compactly into a pair of seven-colored glass-like shoes.

Her profound aura was that of the Emperor Profound Realm. Considering her age, this was already quite an achievement. However, in this extremely dangerous realm, her profound strength could be considered to be so low it was pitiful.

At first glance, it wasn't clear what she was doing here, but she didn't look the least bit frightened. Those beautiful crescent eyebrows were gently arched and the way she pursed her lips made her look both cute and playful. She was so beautiful that it'd be difficult for anyone to take their eyes off her.

She pranced around the empty soul sect, skipping step by step as she went, not a care in the world.

Her smile was extremely cute but it held a mysterious, bewitching charm within its depths. Even though she feels curious, she doesn't seem to be overly concerned, and if anything she seems quite happy knowing that the whole soul sect basically got wiped out of existence.

She knows their deeds and was thinking to handle some behind the scene stuff but it looks like someone beat her to it.

"I wonder if the one who did this is the person aunt and big sis told me about... There's also a sighting of a man with a unique mask before in this realm too... Ummm..." The young girl started to ponder to herself in a curious manner.

"No use guessing around, I'll just ask big sis about it." But then she thought of something and her lips slowly rise in a mischievous manner and then she left the place behind...

After she left, there's another group of people coming to investigate. After they find no clues on the sect, they headed towards the location. But... these groups of people never seen again after they entered the guild leaving behind the palpitating Mr. Ji and also Ji Ruyan...

The reason for that is because of a single woman who has pale skin and striking red eyes... After this woman fulfilled her job, she disappears into the darkness...

"...Ruyan, no matter what happens. We must never betray our new lord. Your decision to make him our new lord is correct... probably the best decision our merchant guild ever made..." Mr. Ji solemnly said.

"Um..." Ji Ruyan nodded stiffly to the side.

"Thankfully our new lord isn't like those from the ... We can finally do a proper business..." Mr. Ji said in relief.

Needless to say, that pale woman is one of the . Issei predicted that they would send someone to investigate things down here and he stationed one of the abyssal humans as bodyguard and also as a messenger.

...

After Issei returned back to the with the in tow. He sent them to the where they can live in peace and while he's at it, he also fulfilled his little promise to He Lin and the others.

He Lin's group went into a daze when they saw the and they started to shed tears of joy...

Mu Xuanyin was pondering to herself when she sensed an unfamiliar presence nearing the .

Mu Xuanyin stood there for a while frowning to herself thinking if this presence is someone 'he' knows?

But seeing how this presence is being sneaky, she concluded that this presence has nothing to do with 'him'.

She immediately heads towards the intruder place and when she arrived at the intruder location, she started channeling a frost beam that exploded toward a portion of space, "Come out!"

Crack crack crack!

That portion of space froze within a second and actually shattered. Thousands of ice flowers and grasses were completely decimated. A sudden patch of empty white land appeared within that little world.

And within that patch of white a small little girl, wearing a colorful dress, slowly strode out as she cheerful giggled, "Big sister, you're actually so pretty, but so fierce at the same time."

This girl is none other than the same girl who investigated the soul sect.

All Mu Xuanyin ice-cold suppression was gathered on her body: "Who are you and what are you doing here?!"

She raised her lips. In front of Mu Xuanyin's power, she still didn't give in, "If I told you that I was lost, would you believe me?"

"..." Mu Xuanyin only coldly gazes at her obviously not believing her.

Mu Xuanyin's gaze deepened. The figure of an ice phoenix started to appear behind her as an icy white sword also appeared her hand. "Since you won't be honest and tell me the truth, don't blame me for this!"

The sword was thin and long, it wasn't even an inch thick. It didn't gleam, but it seemed like it was made of snow.

Before that increasingly explosive cold energy and the world that was quickly turning completely white, she still had a coquettish smile plastered on her face as she held both hands behind her back, "I'm afraid big sister will be unable to."

Swoosh!!

The Ice Phoenix gave out a long cry and the Snow Princess Sword flashed, gathering the entire world's brilliance within a single ray of light, instantaneously upturning the entire environment of this little independent world.

Thousands of kilometers all-around had been enveloped in a blizzard!

Amidst the icy snow, the image of an Ice Phoenix started to rise into the sky, bringing along a world capsizing force, flying like a torrent of water toward the colorfully dressed girl.

"Wah, so pretty."

This capsizing force from the Ice Phoenix was enough to kill a Divine King instantly. Her first response was to have a light flash in both her eyes. After a slight exhale, her entire figure disappeared far away.

However, as she dodged, the Snow Princess Sword cut through space, shooting directly toward the little girl. That Ice Phoenix image also changed its trajectory, once again locking onto her location.

"Heh, since it's like this, big sister should play with me and make me happy, okay?" The girl giggled again, both her eyes releasing a bright blue brilliance. Though her voice sounded weak, it pierced through the ice phoenix's mighty cry.

Zzz!!!

Space violently trembled and the blizzard suddenly intensified. If one reached out, they would not be able to see their five fingers. Everything in this world, from the trees to the grass, flowers, birds, mountains, and the great plains were uprooted. In but a moment, the sky seemed like it was covered in a misty curtain of snow.

This was a sight that few people had ever seen in the God Realm.

Within that snowy curtain, besides an icy blue light darting around, there was an additional white sword beam. The girl's small figure was dashing around and constantly teleporting through the blizzard. Her hands would move as if they were dancing, a white sword beam streaking out with every action, destroying the sword images and cold lights Mu Xuanyin sent her way.

Ding!

Ding!

Boom!

Ding!

The sound of the two forces meeting each other seemed light, but the explosiveness in the sky was that of Divine Masters. It filled the entire small world, causing the icy mist in this world to never settle. Every time there was an explosive burst of energy, it would be accompanied by an explosive shattering of space within a large radius.

Both figures flashed and teleported every moment through tens of kilometers. Spatial tears and gullies covered both the air and large plains. Before the spatial tears could mend, even more scars would tear madly throughout the area.

Boom boom….

Boom boom boom!

Mu Xuanyin's figure slowly turned, completely freezing the surrounding five hundred kilometers, with the girl sealed right at the center of this icy world. However, not even a breath later, the entire space exploded, tens of thousands of sword beams flew out and then gathered, combining into one sword beam, shooting directly towards Mu Xuanyin.

Ding!!

The white sword shadow clashed against the Princess Snow Sword. The sound from the clash of swords caused the skies to crumble and spiderweb-like fissures started to spread out on the large snowfield below them.

Snow and dust filled the air. Two figures flew high up into the sky, both figures emanating an incomparable pressure that suppressed everything below them, causing every living creature to tremble in silence.

Mu Xuanyin's snowy garments were devoid of dust. The Princess Snow Sword in her hand was a reflection of the ice-cold gleam of her beautiful eyes.

The girl's face was flushed red, yet she still exuded boisterousness, "I've heard before that there's a middle star realm called the Snow Song Realm and its Realm King is so powerful that she can be compared to several Realm Kings of the upper star realms. At first, I was a little dismissive, but it seems like not only is it true, you're even stronger than what the rumors boast."

Mu Xuanyin has already spread a soundproof barrier since she doesn't want to bother her honored guest. So there's almost no one realized their fierce battle...

"Take out your weapon," Mu Xuanyin coldly said. "Or else you won't have another chance."

"No way." The girl put her hands behind her neck, "Even though you're really strong, you're still not qualified to make me go all out."

Her crescent-like brows slightly lowered and her cherry-colored lips coldly moved, "If it were half a year ago, I would actually not be your match. Unfortunately…"

Whoosh...

A light breeze blew past.

But within this brief moment, the temperature of this originally bone piercing cold world suddenly plummeted at a terrifying rate. It was as though this world had crazily dropped several million layers below the surface of the earth, into an icy hell.

Mu Xuanyin's pupils slowly vanished from within her beautiful eyes, replaced by an icy blue radiance. Her hair rose in the air, almost becoming snow white. With a light wave of her arm, the Ice Phoenix above her slowly unfolded a pair of ice crystal wings.

"Ehhh…?" The girl tilted her head, her lips opening. Her eyes widened as her lips formed a large "O" shape. "Eeeeeeeh!!??"

The coldness that filled the air madly surged alongside the sharp increase in Mu Xuanyin's profound energy. The terrifying cold energy seemed to have reached some kind of critical point as it transformed into a visible energy field, heavily battering and distorting the profound energy domain before the girl.

Slowly but surely, she started to feel the rapid ice-cold energy close in on her.

The girl cried out in surprise. Her always smiling face finally turned serious. Her profound energy domain expanded in size, pushing away all the frost energy within its immediate area, which also decreased the strength of icy frost near it.

Ding!

A blue light gently flashed, like a twilight from an arctic breaking dawn. Mu Xuanyin's snowy garments fluttered in the wind, her jadelike arm dancing. Her Princess Snow Sword drew hundreds of sword images within a few breaths, as if the entire world's energies were dragged with it, turning the silence into a raging ice storm.

The girl's figure quickly retreated. Her profound energy domain had been suppressed, distorted layer by layer, but it immediately made a full recovery. Be it the icy frost or the destructive energies, not a single bit landed on her incomparably delicate looking body. However, the amazement and incredibility on her face deepened every moment, until it gradually changed to that of incomprehension.

Although she was just a middle star realm king, Mu Xuanyin's name was known throughout all the upper star realms and great king realms. After all, she was a powerful Divine Master.

A star realm that was helmed by a Divine Master was one that no other star realm could easily offend.

But Mu Xuanyin's current demonstration of prowess far exceeded her understanding, vastly eclipsing whatever information and rumors she had heard of her.

Under the assault of a thousand icy blades, the girl's profound energy domain still held up. To her, this was a given as her identity and position wouldn't be easily threatened by Mu Xuanyin even though Mu Xuanyin's ability far exceeded her expectations. Mu Xuanyin could never truly pose a threat and so the girl was only using about thirty percent of her abilities.

The icy frost assault continued, but the windstorm and frost beams began to wane as if maintaining their highest state was proving difficult to maintain. She lifted her head, about to say something when an ice phoenix cry suddenly sounded. Following that, the ice phoenix wings started to flap. A blue ring of ice started to descend from the sky, straight toward the girl. Within a moment, the entire world had turned blue.

What was thought to be the strongest and most extreme state of ice and frost had now exploded exponentially.

"Eh, eh!?" The girl's profound energy was immediately suppressed. She was slowly being sealed and began to lose control. Never before seen frost energy that looked like millions of little icy blades pierced through her domain, enveloping her body and piercing straight into her soul, making her cry out in shock.

The blue ice ring started to shrink as it lowered as it suppressed her profound strength. Soon, it had slowly advanced to about thirty meters from where she stood. The girl tensed and her face showed a hint of pain. Finally, the gaze in her eyes changed, her pupils suddenly flashed with an exceptionally dazzling blue light.

BOOM!!!

A loud sound resounded... if it wasn't for Mu Xuanyin's barrier then the whole realm would've been alarmed.

The blue ice ring was blown to pieces. All the cold energy within a span of a hundred kilometers was dispelled, as if an invisible hand had descended from the heavens and rubbed it all away.

What replaced the entire area was the whistling of countless azure lights that flickered like lightning.

It was as if Mu Xuanyin was struck by a hammer from the heavens. Her figure shot back by about fifty kilometers. When she stopped, not a single change was found on her snowy face.

Ice blue and azure blue. Both colors were close to each other but it was pretty clear that this ancient secret realm was divided into two parts.

The girl was still in her previous position, but she no longer had her previous complacent look about her. Right now, held within both her small hands was an extraordinarily huge azure sword.

The sword's blade was even bigger than the little girl's body and was twice her height. The thick looking sword handle made it seem like her hands couldn't hold it properly.

Even a nine-foot-high warrior would have a problem wielding such a huge sword, let alone such a petite little girl. However, this sight of girl and sword gave a strange yet synergistic feel... as if they were one, as if it would only hear her voice, moving to her command, allowing her to drive it.

Its entire body was made of steel yet it looked like glass. One moment it shone under the resplendent azure light, the next it looked dark and without light. The handle was a foot long, the blade was incomparably sharp. In the front of the azure sword were two moving blood-like beams, looking like a bloodthirsty wolf with its fangs out.

With the greatsword on her, the air around the girl completely changed. The earlier her was one of carefreeness, naivete, and liveliness. Now, her presence was completely able to suppress Mu Xuanyin's strength, giving off a terrifying air.

Her face was now a picture of indifference. Her aura wasn't soft or calm, but rather the complete opposite.

It was full of brutality and violence!

It seemed as if an ancient devil god had awoken from its slumber within that small body of hers.

The skies parted and the earth shook, the oceans roared and all the living beings prostrated themselves. It looked like the heralding of an overlord's arrival. Dead or alive, everything seemed to be trembling in fear.

"The Heavenly Wolf Sacred Sword!" a glow flickered in Mu Xuanyin's eyes.

The girl didn't reply. Both her small arms were raised, the azure greatsword hung upright in the air… she had no trace of anger or killing intent on her, yet she was exuding a shocking battle intent. It was if her sword and her strength were made for battle, that once released would shake the heavens.

With the greatsword raised, the countless flickering brilliant azure lights started to slowly shifted. The moment the sword pointed to the air, the image of a fifty-kilometer blue wolf started to form.

Mu Xuanyin's icy brows lowered as the look on her face turned serious. She lightly waved her hand and the Princess Snow Sword started a strange orbit around her. In the blink of an eye, countless little profound formations gathered in front of her.

In the center of the fifty-kilometer blue wolf, the girl finally made her move. The azure greatsword chopped downward. Her pink lips moved, her voice still vacant, yet it brought along a soul-shaking coldness and might.

"Heavenly Wolf Slash!"

Awoo!

The blue wolf howled facing the sky and then directly pounced at Mu Xuanyin. As it approached, it created a long azure streak that didn't dissipate for a long time.

Mu Xuanyin's figure retreated. Every time she executed Moon Splitting Cascade, it would leave behind an absolutely pure ice lotus.

The fifty kilometers long Heavenly Wolf tore through the air. Mu Xuanyin looked exceedingly small and weak under the obscuring might of the wolf's image but it was also at this moment that ninety-nine beautiful ice lotuses appeared before her. With the point of her sword, all the ice lotuses were released at the same time, filling the sky with a flash of icy brilliance.

"Nine Extremities Lotus Heart Formation!"

As the world plunged into silence, the brilliance from the icy blue light greatly intensified. Ninety-nine ice lotuses started rotating within the blue light like orbiting stars, forming a large star formation, imprisoning the fifty-kilometer wide blue wolf. The blue wolf's image immediately stopped howling as it was firmly sealed by the ice, frozen in midair.

Crack!!

Following that moment of silence, the ice lotuses and the wolf's image exploded at the same time, saturating the sky with blue light. The Heavenly Wolf's might had decreased substantially, but its remaining power was still just as dreadful. Mu Xuanyin didn't move.

The Princess Snow Sword lightly stabbed out, immediately slicing the remaining might of the Heavenly Wolf in two. Both halves whistle past her sides. Half a breath later, the entire world behind her became a picture of destruction and decimation.

"...?" Shock surfaced on the girl's cold face once more. Mu Xuanyin had actually avoided her Heavenly Wolf Sacred Sword. This shocked her to the core. Also, when she had unleashed her first move, Mu Xuanyin had directly received it, and it seemed like she hadn't expended much energy upon doing so.

To her, this felt inconceivable.

Profound energy was still being released by the duo but they both curbed the profound lights being emitted and no longer continued to exchange blows. After a short period of silence, Mu Xuanyin coldly spoke, "Princess Caizhi, youngest daughter of the Star God Realm King, born with a weak body and the most ordinary out of all the sons and daughters of the Star God Realm King. You were given the cold treatment especially since your mother died young, but five years ago you perfectly assimilated the power of the Heavenly Wolf Star God and were rumored to be the one in the history of the Star God Realm to achieve perfect assimilation."

"I never would have realized that I would one day get to exchange blows with the Heavenly Wolf Star God!"

The blood-colored wolf eyes on top of the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Sword closed and following a flash of blue light, the sword disappeared from the girl's hands.

After putting away the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Sword, the air around Caizhi immediately changed, her eyes regaining their liveliness. With regards to Mu Xuanyin accurately guessing her identity and name, she wasn't the least bit startled. Her lips fluttered and she folded both her hands against her chest muttering, "You're not only blessed to exchange blows with this princess, you weren't even defeated. You must be really pleased to death in your heart."

Mu Xuanyin, "..."

"But… but!!" Caizhi's voice suddenly grew louder, both her round eyes were staring straight at Mu Xuanyin, "You... Why are you so powerful? A-a-are you really just the realm king of a middle star realm? This princess has seen all the realm kings of the upper star realms but I can count those that are just as powerful as you with both sets of fingers.

"And the information about you states with certainty that you're a rank four Divine Master. Why are you… so strong? Even if everyone else in your star realm are little cats and dogs, just based on you alone, you have the qualifications to make your realm an upper star realm. Why is the Snow Song Realm still a middle star realm? Have you been hiding your strength all along?

"If anyone knew that the Snow Song Realm had such a powerful individual, even my royal father would jump in fright. The entire Eastern Divine Region would all be surprised and the upper star realms would definitely have one more realm joining them."

"None of your business!" Mu Xuanyin gave her a cold gaze and put away her Snow Princess Sword. She pointed at Caizhi… disregarding the fact that the other party was the Princess Caizhi thousands of realms would have to bow to. "Answer my question from before! What are your intention of coming here so stealthily!?"

Princess Caizhi tilted her head, "Hmph, this princess won't tell you." She stuck out her tongue at Mu Xuanyin.

"And you have some gall, you know this princess's identity, and yet you're so disrespectful, aren't you afraid of angering me!?"

Mu Xuanyin stared at her coldly in silence... Afraid? Rather than feeling afraid of you and your star realm, I felt more fear for my honored guest's anger!

Someone who's stronger than a True God herself? She rather offends the rather than offending that person!

"...Fine. I'm here to look for a person." Caizhi finally said after seeing Mu Xuanyin started to grow more irritated.

"A person? Who?" Mu Xuanyin coldly asked.

"Well... A person my big sis and aunt told me about. Big sister and aunt said a whole whole lot. Way way waaay more than what you can imagine. But they only told me and only me." Princess Caizhi smiled, "I have a royal father and a lot of uncles, big brothers, and big sisters, but big sister and aunty is my one and only kin. And to big sister and aunty, I'm their one and only kin as well."

She laughed a shallow laugh, and there was a trace of awkwardness behind that laugh. Mu Xuanyin actually managed to grasp some loneliness within that laugh.

"Big sister and even aunt often suddenly goes into a daze. They would time and again speak of matters related to him. Big sister and aunt are willing to give me everything, with the only exception of that beautiful dress, which they always wear most of the time. They don't even let me touch it carelessly!"

"As long as it has to do with him, they will become someone completely different. I've always wanted to know what kind of man he was that could incite such a large change in my big sister and aunty. Big sister even said that in this life and this universe, there's not a single person that could match him! So I was feeling extremely curious because of it! To think that big sis would proudly said that knowing her personality... They said he currently resides in the so I'm here to meet him. So where is he?" Caizhi asked.

"He? Could you be talking about..." Mu Xuanyin said in surprise. When did he meet the Heavenly Slaughter Star God? Mu Xuanyin had retracted her entire profound aura. Her gaze returned to its normal calm and only some complex emotions ran deep within.

"Are you Jasmine's little sister?" Both of them felt taken aback after hearing a voice belonging to a man coming from behind Caizhi.

"Ah?!" Caizhi swiped her hand in reflex after being taken by surprise like this but her hand is stopped in its track even though it is filled with her divine energy.

"Wh-Who are you!? Let go of this princess's hand!" Caizhi screamed in shock seeing how easily this person caught her attack.

"...Yep. You're clearly Jasmine's little sister..." This newcomer is none other than Issei himself who smiles wryly hearing what Caizhi addresses herself.

"Wait... you... that mask... you're the man big sis and aunt were talking about!" Caizhi finally realizes what Issei's looks like. She looked at him seriously as if trying to drill into him with her glare. She gazes at Issei from head to toe.

But then she blushes a little feeling that her hand is still within Issei's grasp. This is the first time for a man other than her deceased big brother to ever touch her.

"...Can you let go of my hand?"

"Ah, right."

Issei finally let go of her hand.

"Hmmm... So you're the man big sis and aunty were talking about... you don't look like much." Caizhi said with a smirk. It's a lie though... she knows that Issei is clearly very powerful seeing how easily he 'sneaks' up on her and stopped her 'surprise' attack.

And from his figure alone he knows that he's surely an outstanding man just like her big sis and aunt said.

"Err, if this big sis and aunty you're talking about are Jasmine and Xun'er then yes... It's probably me." Issei said wryly.

"Yes, it's them." Caizhi nodded briefly.

"Oh? Did they sent you here?" Issei asked.

"No. I came here on my-" When she's about to reply, she received a voice transmission.

"Caizhi. Where are you right now?" Jasmine's voice can be heard from her transmission jade.

"Ah, big sis?!" Caizhi shouted in surprise.

"Jasmine?" Issei said after hearing her voice.

"..." Jasmine who was on the other side went silent after she heard the voice belonging to the man she was dreaming about this entire time. She never thought that her little sister would meet Issei out of people even though she already warned her before...

"I-I-I-Ise?!!" It took her a good while before she managed to snap out of her daze.

"Eh? What did you say, dear? Ise?" Xun'er voice can be heard next.

"Yo..." Issei said.

"C-C-Caizhi, did you go to Ise's place!!?" Jasmine asked furiously.

"U-Ummm... B-Big sis, I-I can explain..." Caizhi stutteringly said.

"Go home right this instant! Don't you dare bother him!" Jasmine said while gnashing her teeth: "I will give you a punishment when you get back!"

"Ehhhh! No no no, I'm sorry! Brother-in-law, please help me! Don't let big sis punish me!"

"CAIZHI!!!"

Caizhi looks at Issei teary-eyed and Jasmine embarrassed shout can be heard. If Jasmine is right in front of Issei right now then he will see the red-faced Jasmine and giggling Xun'er.

Issei could only smile wryly under his mask hearing their conversation whereas for Mu Xuanyin, she becomes stupefied... It seems that their relationship is not simple, she thought to herself.

Chi Wuyao who's listening to their conversation frowned... this is not good... The is one of the top star realms that is standing between her realm freedom.

If Issei got roped in and decided to side with them instead then all hope will be lost... But she heard that there's some news about internal conflict from within, and the rumors said that Princess Jasmine or the hates her father.

And her mother supposedly looks quite different from before, whether it be her personality or looks... for one, her hair turns white just like... 'him'...

The previous Xun'er is quite submissive but the current her seems quite cold and domineering.

She doesn't even back down from her supposed husband. Xing Juekong is feeling more attracted to Xun'er ever since she got back but whenever he tried to lay his hand on her she always refuses with a cold face.

He wanted to force himself once again but Jasmine is always there to 'protect' her. They basically always stay together.

People don't know that the current Xun'er cultivation has already on par and if she works together with Jasmine then Xing Juekong would surely lose.

Xing Juekong also tries to entice Xun'er with flowery words but to no avail... even when he said that he won't let anything happen to Jasmine and Caizhi in return. Not that it will work in the first place since he was planning to sacrifice either Caizhi or Jasmine for his own agenda in the near future and both Jasmine and Xun'er know this.

What Xing Juekong doesn't know is that Jasmine and Xun'er both have Issei's protective charm and Xun'er gave away her charm to Caizhi just in case Xing Juekong decided to lay his hand on her.

And if by chance Xing Juekong really tries to force his way on Xun'er then... he won't even know how he dies when the time comes...

When Chi Wuyao thought about the rumors, she slightly feels relieved... If the rumor is true then she still has a chance.

"Caizhi! If you don't go back right now I would increase your punishment by tenfold!" Jasmine shouted for the last time and Caizhi's face turns paler.

"O-Okay! I will go back now! See you brother-in-law."

"You're still talking!!?"

Caizhi waved her hand at Issei and hastily flew to the distance but then she suddenly stopped and did another turn before bowing deeply towards Issei's direction.

"Caizhi thanks big brother for saving my elder sister and aunty. Caizhi is eternally grateful... Thank you big brother." She said with a voice filled with gratitude.

"Um... You're welcome." Issei nodded at her.

"Ah... another thing!" Caizhi then changes her gaze at Mu Xuanyin.

"Big sister, could answer one of my questions?"

"...What question?" Mu Xuanyin asked.

"Um…" Princess Caizhi suddenly stiffened, her face became a little shy and a slight shade of red-tinged her face. She seemed to be at a loss for words. She looked at Mu Xuanyin's tattered and torn snow robe and then looked at her own flat chest area. Then, she finally raised her courage and asked, "How… How do I… When I grow up, how do I become as voluptuous and curvy as you, both back and front?"

Mu Xuanyin, "..."

Issei, "..."

Jasmine, "..."

Issei and Mu Xuanyin become speechless hearing her question whereas for Jasmine, she also perked her ear trying to get the answer. Xun'er is holding her laughter in the background.

...

-A few days later-

Ice Phoenix Sacred Hall, Frost Tempering Immortal Lake. For a whole ten thousand years, only two people were permitted entry. One was Mu Xuanyin, with the other being Mu Bingyun.

The Immortal Lake was like an icy prison but since ancient times it had never frozen over. The surface of the lake was filled with several beautiful rotating ice lotuses. A wondrous, beautiful chilly mist was all around. A gentle breeze blew in from outside the ice windows. Water ripples and their reflections could be seen across the crystal clear surface. The reflections of the ice and water were like an icy pure jade, making even the snow lotuses pale in comparison to the l.u.s.ter of the lake.

The ice door was pushed open and Mu Bingyun slowly stepped in. She saw Mu Xuanyin lifting up her face, allowing a few drops of water to slowly trickle across her beautiful immortal-like face. They looked like shiny pearls rolling across her perfect skin.

Profound practitioners could use their profound powers to clean themselves, even more so those already in the divine way. However Mu Xuanyin always loved to take baths, and Mu Bingyun knew it. Perhaps this would allow her heart to maintain its calm and clarity.

"Big sister, why have you summoned me?" Mu Bingyun gently asked.

Her jadelike shoulders slowly moving, Mu Xuanyin slowly stood up. The mist and the water around her made it look like they were ornaments around a piece of beautiful jade, "Bingyun, how is the recovery of your profound strength going?"

"About ninety percent," Mu Bingyun replied. "In a few more months, I'll be completely recovered."

"That's good." Mu Xuanyin's voice was soft and gentle, "Before this, I've decided to train Feixue but... With her current state, wanting to enter the profound convention seems... unnecessary considering that those 'girls' will be participating in the convention themselves..."

"...What is their current cultivation now?" Mu Xuanyin asked curiously.

"They... Most of them have reached the early stage of the while Xia Qingyue and Chu Yuechan who seem to be the most talented has recently entered the late stage..." Mu Bingyun said with a sigh.

"...I see... It looks like our training method is a complete waste compared to his method." Mu Xuanyin smiles bitterly after hearing Mu Bingyun's answer: "The convention will start soon and their cultivation is increasing at an even faster rate. I'm guessing that by the time the convention day arrives, their cultivation ought to reach the at the very least... perhaps even higher..." Mu Xuanyin said with her voice getting smaller at the end.

Just what kind of heights will their sect and realm reach if he were to personally train them all? She can't even begin to imagine...

Not really surprising though since he is supposedly stronger than an actual True God...

Mu Xuanyin, just like Mu Bingyun was confused why there is no heavenly tribulation happening to those girls when they stepped into the but they won't ask too much about it.

"Anyway... Matters relating to the sect within and without will be handed over to you. You've been traveling for the last thousand years, and now that you've gained a rebirth, it's time for you to get familiar with sect matters once more. As for disciples who will take part in the Profound God Convention, you can give Huanzhi full control over that matter, he doesn't need to consult you on anything."

Mu Bingyun gently nodded her head at Mu Xuanyin's words before she said softly: "Big sister, you're still trying to make him be the next realm king?"

"..." Mu Xuanyin gently shook her head: "He won't accept... He doesn't need our help but it's us who need him... Perhaps if any of our disciples could catch his fancy then he might be willing to train them personally but even then, he won't stay. I can see that his heart lies elsewhere... He most likely has a place to return to and sadly for us... that place is not our realm."

"Then you… will you still try?"

"I don't know." Mu Xuanyin let out a sigh, her gaze turned a little blurry but she immediately steeled herself, lifted her hand and gently brushed her snowy shoulder with an ice crystal. Her lips parted into a slightly cheeky smile which made the light in the entire crystalline surroundings seem to grow dim, "Bingyun, what do you think will happen if I were to dual cultivate with him? Will my cultivation rose to unimaginable heights? Perhaps the two of us should dual cultivate with him at the same time?"

"...Big sister, you're being mischievous again." Mu Bingyun said with a tired sigh: "You should know that he's not someone who will just l.u.s.t over beauties and such. He's not like other men out there..."

"Indeed... and that frustrates me quite a bit. As a woman, it hurts my pride a little seeing how he doesn't react to my beauty you know?" 'Mu Xuanyin' said with a pout.

"..." Mu Bingyun stays silent but she agrees with her sister but soon she shakes her head: "For what you've instructed, I'll inform Huanzhi."

"On your way, get him to also send out three hundred Divine Hall disciples to the extreme ice ocean. I want them to bring back at least a thousand pieces of Snow Song Ice Crystals," Mu Xuanyin instructed.

Mu Bingyun was slightly stunned, then she realized something and said, "You wanted to give him another gift?"

"No, not him... but it's for those 'girls'. Since he doesn't need anything, we might as well try to work our way with them first. Those girls will obviously become someone of high standing in the future since they're basically his... disciples. At the very least, we should make them see us in a good light."

After leaving the Ice Phoenix Sacred Hall, Mu Bingyun's footsteps suddenly stopped. She lifted her head, her eyes had a little bit of complexity in them. As she looked at the falling snow she muttered to herself, "She's changed… And the same goes for me..." She added at the end.

Ever since he entered their lives, it looks like things have completely change... Her heart grew restless nowadays... it would ache a bit whenever she doesn't see him for a while.

Her sister usually doesn't really care about those who are from the upper realm. She doesn't bother to curry favor with them but now... she's trying her best to curry favor with someone they barely knew anything about.

Divine Ice Phoenix Sect was silent all throughout, the entire Snow Song Realm was the same but one thing was clear and resounded in the hearts of all profound experts: The Profound God Convention was drawing nearer.

This was the Eastern Divine Region's greatest event of all time with countless famous young profound practitioners taking part. These were the future rulers and overlords of the Eastern Divine Region, and this was the first time in all of history that they could enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl.

This wasn't only a grand event for young profound practitioners, the entire Eastern Divine Region could be said to be looking forward to this. The four great king realms had jointly organized this and made this event available realm wide. Those who were of extraordinary birth, those with world shocking talent, all hoped to be among the thousand names of the young profound practitioners. Their hearts fervently burned with crazed excitement and passion.

The vast Eastern Divine Region had become a lot quieter. All were sparing no expense and spending all their efforts to raise up their disciples with the qualifications to enter the Profound God Convention. It seemed like each and every sect was focused on that right now.

The Snow Song Realm was the same.

All the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect's disciples who qualified to enter the Profound God Convention were all in closed-door training with the guidance of their respective elders and teachers. The sect had expanded a great number of resources, not being stingy at all. However, during this period of time, no one in the sect had seen Xia Qingyue's group nor their mysterious sect guest.

The news of the having a new realm king is unknown till this day.

The two new realm king who rules over the barely gives them any order other than not to harm the two Ancient Horned Dragon who roams the realm freely.

Not only that, most Fire or Flame Dragons that were hiding within their realm also started to appear here and there without fearing that they will be hunted down and they also seem to respect their new realm king a lot.

Whenever they saw their realm king, those Dragons would always pay their respect.

The reason for this is because the two Ancient Horned Dragon has spread the news that Feng Xue'er and Huan Caiyi is their King's chosen mate. Meaning that they will be their Queen in the future... so it's no wonder that they will pay their respect whenever they saw the two of them.

...

Northern Divine Region, Soul Stealing Realm.

Issei went towards Chi Wuyao location to see this place she told him about.

Chi Wuyao who just returned to the throne room froze for a second before a seductive smile naturally appeared on her face. She saw Issei is sitting at her throne just like the day he first arrived here.

Only this time, he doesn't bother to wear his mask. After all, Chi Wuyao ought to already saw his face through Mu Xuanyin's vision...

But although Chi Wuyao has already seen his face, the witches haven't. They went into a daze and their cheeks become flushed when they saw Issei's face...

His otherworldly face coupled with his pose right now is extremely fatal to any woman. Even Chi Wuyao herself had her heart skip a beat when she saw him.

"So you have finally paid this concubine a visit, your excellency~" Chi Wuyao said. Her voice was both bewitching and seductive, but one could still hear the lovable innocence of a young girl in that voice.

"What is the place you've told me before?" Issei said as he exhaled through his smoking pipe completely ignoring her seductive voice and appearance.

"Oh?" Chi Wuyao's beautiful eyes calmly flickered and a slight disappointment flashed before her eyes but soon she continues speaking: "It is called the ... The is located at the very center of the Northern Divine Region, at the bottom of the Yama Realm."

"Hmm... Go on."

"It is the place where darkness energy is the thickest and most concentrated in the Northern Divine Region. It is also the most important reason for the Yama Realm's continued supremacy." Chi Wuyao continued: "According to the primordial records, many devil gods would fall every year during the drawn-out war between the god and devil races. The devils of exalted position would have their own tombs erected for them… though those tombs have already long since been picked clean."

It was the same for the gods as well. Most of the legacies of divine power that the divine regions have obtained, besides the few spirit remnants, have all been "dug" up by the star realms.

In fact, there were still countless people digging around in the God Realm trying to discover an undiscovered "opportunity" in this very day and age.

"However, the low-ranking devils, the biggest casualties of this war, their devil corpses were all thrown together in one place.

"As the war between the gods and devils escalated, it grew much more terrible than anyone had ever imagined it would be. More and more devils started to die and in the end, this burial ground became a huge sea of corpses and as the years flowed by, these devil corpses eventually turned into countless devil bones."

"And that is the as we know it today."

"It is also due to this reason that the Bone Sea is filled with incredibly dense yin energy, death energy, and resentment. The darkness energy in that place is far denser than in any other place in the Northern Divine Region."

"You have been there before?" Issei asked lightly.

"Well, I haven't entered it before but I do know the entrance location." Chi Wuyao replied.

"Good. Take me there now."

"Umm, it's not that easy, your excellency... I told you that it's located at the very center of the Northern Divine Region, at the bottom of the Yama Realm, right? And there's also the Yama Ancestor residing within that place. Furthermore, there are three of them." Chi Wuyao explained.

"I know your excellency is powerful but those three Yama Ancestors are a bit 'special', you see."

"The words Yama Ancestor mean exactly what they say. They are the founding ancestors of the Yama Realm, so they've been living for at least seven to eight hundred thousand years… In fact, it's even possible that they've reached a million years of age."

Chi Wuyao began to slowly talk about the "Yama Ancestors", existences that only the three king realms had any comprehensive information about. The other star realms in the Northern Region had only heard this name in passing.

"In the ancient past, these three Yama Ancestors obtained the devil blood and art left behind by the primordial Yama Devils. After that, they conquered the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness and created the Yama Realm."

"Later on, after they had cultivated the Yama Devil Art to its peak, they suddenly realized that they could tether their lifeforce to the darkness energy within the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness using the Yama Devil Art. From then on... as long as the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness remained, they would live forever."

"In fact… no matter how badly hurt they got, even if their bodies were completely broken, they could swiftly recover from those wounds within the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness."

"They are not only immortal, but they could also be said to be indestructible!"

They were devils who had survived for nearly a million years… and they were even immortal and indestructible at that!

"But... The lifespans of the three ancestors of the Yama Realm withered away long ago, so right now, they are entirely reliant on the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness for their immortality. As a result of that, they are unable to leave the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness for more than an hour. Because they will die if they exceed that time limit."

"Even though they cannot leave the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness for too long, if the Yama Realm were to meet with any serious danger, these three dreadful Yama Ancestors, who are at the very least equal to the Yama Emperor in terms of strength, have enough power to rout any enemy, and overturn any danger that threatens the Yama Realm in that single hour."

"This is also why I have never dared to provoke the Yama Realm even though the Yama Realm is equally afraid of me. Because no one can overcome... the Yama Realm's home field advantage..."

"Hold still."

Chi Wuyao was in the middle of explaining when Issei suddenly appeared right in front of her.

She was taken aback when Issei put his hand on top of her head. She doesn't even have the time to react to his movement.

"Hm, so that's where it is. We will go now." A few seconds later, Issei took back his hand and snapped his finger lightly. The two of them then disappear from the throne room leaving behind the stupefied witches...

...

The entrance to the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness lay at the center of the Devil Palace of Eternal Darkness.

A cold, dark wind brushed past the duo's skin when they entered a huge, dark hall. The end of the hall was covered in dozens of darkness formations, and at the center of them was a black, bottomless pit where not even a ray of light could be seen.

"...This, is the entrance to the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness."

After surveying her surroundings, Chi Wuyao's expression was serious and devout as she introduced the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness to Issei. She doesn't find it weird anymore seeing how Issei can easily travel instantly like this...

It was the very same place that made Yama Realm an unbeatable realm in the history of the Northern Divine Region.

"The yin energy of the remains of the ancient devils is indeed quite extraordinary," Issei muttered as he stared at the bottomless abyss.

They were about a hundred meters away from the gaping maw that was the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness.

There's a seal covering the entrance to the abyss but with a gentle swipe from Issei's hand, they disappeared into nothingness...

Chi Wuyao who saw this immediately look behind them to see if those from the Yama realm is alarmed or not... but even after waiting for a while, she doesn't see nor sense anything out of the ordinary...

Issei finally decided to step into the abyss and immediately free fall towards the bottom. Chi Wuyao who took notice of this subconsciously followed after him...

At first, Issei didn't accelerate toward the ground. He simply allowed himself to free fall through the air for a few minutes straight before he finds it too slow and he immediately uses his profound energy to propel him downward. A few seconds later, his feet finally slammed the bottom of the abyss.

Chi Wuyao found it a little difficult to follow after Issei's speed but nevertheless, she manages to catch up to him soon enough...

The particular area they landed in wasn't completely covered in darkness. Countless devil bones were gleaming with phosphorescence. But instead of chasing away the terror, the tiny light only made the world of darkness even scarier and more oppressive than it already was.

The devil bones came in all shapes and sizes. Some of them were several thousand meters long. Some of them were relatively intact. Plenty more had turned into broken fragments of darkness.

The darkness profound energy here was so thick that it was practically solid. Chi Wuyao almost felt like she was floating in the middle of a water current. Darkness profound energy occupied their surroundings that even she had a little trouble staying calm but when she looks at Issei, she discovered that he looks just the same as before without any tiny bit of change whatsoever...

Tap!

"Heh… hehe… hehehehe…"

Suddenly, the sound of tumbling bones and a twisted laugh came from somewhere in the darkness. It made the black graveyard even scarier than before.

Issei slowly turned toward the direction where the sinister laughter had come from. But the expression on his face was not of fear, but only indifference. He can already sense the three old fogies that are called the Yama ancestors from above the abyss after all.

"Heehee… Heeheeheehee… fresh meat has finally been delivered to our doorstep. And there's even two of them..."

This was human speech, but no one would believe that it had been uttered by a human.

Because this voice was so hoarse that it sounded like metal scraping against metal. It sounded so dark and sinister that it resembled the low and terrifying m.o.a.n made by evil spirits.

"It's a peak level Divine King and... a level ten Divine Master? Not bad... And one of them is a beautiful woman at that!"

A different person spoke this time, but his voice was just as hoarse and hard to understand as the first one, and it grated against Chi Wuyao's soul.

"Heh heh heh… It looks like you're right. Oh? Isn't this the infamous Devil Queen? How lucky are we?"

If it was outside the abyss then they will have some trouble dealing with Chi Wuyao. But here is their domain!

A third voice rang out in the air and it sounded like teeth being ground together. The sound was so harsh and ugly that it made Issei frown.

However, their auras were far more terrifying than their voices. They were as vast and boundless as the ocean and they radiated a dark oppressive might that was as heavy as ten thousand mountains.

Furthermore, they had not fully unleashed their auras yet. This was the spiritual pressure that naturally radiated from their bodies. Chi Wuyao who sensed this frowned for a bit before she looks at Issei's expression only to find that there is still no change... when she realizes this, she calmed herself down.

"And the three of you must be the famous Yama ancestors." Chi Wuyao said lightly. Even though she's not really afraid of them with Issei here, she still can't let her guard down.

In the end, they were still old monsters who had inherited the original True Devil blood and basked in this ancient dark yin energy for nearly a million years.

Even if a human reached the very limits of his race, he still would not be able to compare to the emperor of dragons, Long Bai. That was the difference between the two races.

However, the two stronger Yama Ancestors among this trio were definitely no weaker than the strongest god emperors of the Eastern and Southern Divine Regions, Qianye Fantian and Nan Wansheng!

The weakest was no weaker than the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, Zhou Xuzi!

This was a huge amount of power! But alas, in order to attain this power and longevity, they had no choice but to hole up in this place and never see the light of day ever again!

In Issei's eyes, their lives could not even be compared to the lives of domesticated livestock... just an old fossil that is afraid of death.

Crack, crack, crack!

The sound of devil bones being stepped on slowly drew nearer. Issei's calm eyes pierced the darkness and he slowly made out three figures which resembled evil spirits within this gloom.

That's right, evil spirits!

These three black figures were equally hunched over and withered. Their exposed skin was as ashen as a corpse and it seemed to be wrapped tightly around their shrunken bones. Their four limbs were even thinner and withered than the branches of a truly dead … They barely had any characteristics of a living human.

In fact, if they were to lie down on the ground motionless, everyone would believe that these were three withered corpses.

However, the movement of their withered limbs and the gloomy and hellish light that glinted in their eyes showed that they were still alive! Yes, they resembled three "ghosts" who were actually still alive!

"Yan Wanchi, Yan Wanhun, Yan Wangui."

Chi Wuyao's lips curved up as she muttered the names of the Three Yama Ancestors under her breath.

During the earliest part of the Northern Divine Region's history, it was these three Yama Ancestors who had found the devil blood and Yama Devil Art left behind by the Primordial Yama Devils. They had conquered the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness and established the Yama Realm, a power that would dominate the entire history of the Northern Divine Region.

Their accomplishments and achievements echoed down through the generations.

They had survived to this day but they had been reduced to these miserable, inhuman shapes. It was pitiful and laughable.

The three "corpses" came to a halt. The looks in their eyes changed and that far too-terrifying dark oppressive might which they released started to faintly tremble.

It had been far too long since they had heard their own names.

"Aren't the three of you afraid of death? You still dare to show up in front of his excellency like this?" Chi Wuyao said with a smirk.

Once the three Yama Ancestors heard it, they felt as if someone had injected life and vitality into their souls, souls which had been withered by this interminable darkness. That was because they simply found her words are too funny. It was a joke that made them crack up in laughter.

"Heh heh… hahahaha…. Heeehahahahahaha…"

Three ghoulish laughs rang out in the air as they overlapped one another. It sounded so harsh and grating that Chi Wuyao thought that thousands of sharp blades were being stabbed into her eardrums.

They laughed in an uproarious and unrestrained manner. That was because they simply found Chi Wuyao's words too funny. It was a joke that made them crack up in laughter.

They laughed in an uproarious and unrestrained manner. The joke they had just heard was practically manna from heaven, causing their shriveled skin to glow with vitality.

"Leave my sight and I won't kill any of you," Issei said without a care.

"Heehahahaha… there are already three crazy old ghosts trapped in this place, but we never expected for a little ghost who is even crazier than us to appear… Heeehahahaha!"

The Yama Ancestor whose aura was the strongest stretched out his hand. As he flexed his withered fingers, dark energy instantly started to swirl in the air. He stared at Issei, those old deep-set eyes that resembled pools of inky darkness narrowed into two terrifying slits. "This little ghost is merely a Divine King, but he can still remain standing in front of us three old ghosts. Not bad."

"Heeheheheh, since when would a crazy little ghost know the meaning of the word 'fear'?"

The ghoulish figure in the middle slowly walked forward. Every step he took was accompanied by darkness energy that rippled in the air like violent waves. "Little ghost, we three old ghosts have lived for eight hundred and ninety thousand years, and there hasn't ever been anyone who has dared to say something so ridiculous and absurd to us… Heeheehee, in fact, it makes me a little reluctant to suck you dry immediately."

The words "ugly" and "repulsive" could not even begin to describe his sinister smile. If anyone even took a glimpse of it, it would haunt their dreams for years to come.

This talking evil spirit was the boss of the Three Yama Ancestors. The strongest among them, Yan Wanchi.

"Eight hundred and ninety thousand years?" Chi Wuyao started smiling as well. Compared to Yan Wanchi's sinister smile, her smile was filled with deep derision and pity. "But even three crippled wild dogs can proudly live under the sun."

"Old things who can't even be compared to wild dogs, you actually holed up in this place for more than eight hundred thousand years? How tragic and pathetic is that? Yet you're actually proud of it? Hahahaha…"

She let out a charming laugh as she slowly shook her head.

The pity that was evident in the curl of her lips stabbed into the Three Yama Ancestors' eyes like a poisoned knife. "You are the three biggest and most pathetic jokes in the history of the Northern Divine Region… Oh no, no, I mean the entire God Realm. Three old bedbugs who were buried in this unbearably noxious place. So where do you even find the shamelessness required to laugh wildly in this Queen's face, hmmm?"

The Three Yama Ancestors had lived for an exceedingly long time but their existences had long since become painful to themselves. In fact, it had really become quite pitiful. However, as the Yama Realm's founding ancestors, level ten Divine Masters who had reached the zenith of darkness profound energy, who would dare to insult them even if they truly could be compared to a bedbug? Who would dare to insult them so!?

As the founding ancestors of the Yama Realm, all of the Yama Emperors, past and present, had to treat them with the utmost dignity and respect. They did not even dare do anything which would imply disrespect.

As practitioners of a negative profound energy, it would normally not be possible for them to be enraged by a few words.

Unfortunately, even the strongest spirit would become twisted after being holed up in this place for hundreds of thousands of years.

The souls of the Three Yama Ancestors had long since become incredibly warped and violent. Furthermore, Chi Wuyao's insult was the most humiliating thing they had heard in years and it was aimed directly at their sore spot. There was no doubt it agitated the twisted minds of the Three Yama Ancestors, stirring them up into a frenzy.

"You talk too much..." Issei said towards Chi Wuyao.

"But it's true though? Don't you agree as well, your excellency?" Chi Wuyao fluttered her eyes at Issei.

"..." Issei doesn't say anything else signaling that he agrees with her view just now. These three old fossils are indeed quite... pitiful and also pathetic at the same time.

Chi Wuyao who sees Issei agreeing with her let out a chuckle but as for the three Yama ancestors...

"Sssss…. Uwaaaaaaah!" The Three Yama Ancestors shuddered as a frightening black light radiated from their eyes. Wails which did not even sound human ripped from their throats.

"You damn s.l.u.t!" Yan Wanchi slashed the air with a clawed hand as he howled, "Aren't you a little too eager to die!!?"

"Heh." Chi Wuyao's smile grew even more derisive. "Just a few sentences are enough to stir you into a frenzy. Just look at your ugly appearances right now. It looks like even comparing you to bedbugs was doing you a favor."

"Heeaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" The old ghost on the right, second of the Three Yama Ancestors, Yan Wanhun, could no longer hold back any longer. His body shot out as he yelled, "I'll rip her apart with my bare hands!"

Issei who saw the incoming Yan Wanhun gave a low sigh before he started absorbing the surrounding Darkness energy and also the Death energy which is invisible to Chi Wuyao and also the three Yama ancestors.

The darkness was howling and it was as if an infinite number of storms were gathering around Issei.

"What is… wrong with that brat?" Yan Wangui asked, puzzled. Not realizing that the Darkness energy within their body slowly being absorbed by Issei...

Dark profound light swayed chaotically above Yan Wanhun's fingers as he floated in midair. Suddenly, he noticed something and replied, "This brat can absorb the yin energy of this place just like us!"

"Absorb? Just like you?" Issei asked in a bored tone: "It is true that the darkness energy of this place kept you alive longer than should be, but at the same time you can never leave this lightless place."

"But I am its ruler."

Right after Issei said that, his red eyes turned pitch black along with his hair. The mark in his forehead glows brightly giving a golden radiance within the vast empty abyss. There's a crown made out the dark energy floating above his head.

Chi Wuyao who saw Issei's current state become stupefied... she never felt anything like this... this kind of mastery over the Darkness energy. It basically beyond her comprehension and understanding by miles away!

Here in the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness, the three Yama ancestors were immortal unless someone found a way to remove all the yin energy of this place entirely. Any power they used was replenished in no time, and any injury they suffered would heal at an accelerated pace.

The Three Yama Ancestors' souls were twisted for sure, but not even they could fail to realize that the "brat" before them was a monster that exceeded everything they had ever seen or heard of!

"Ruler? Hehehe… I've never seen such an arrogant brat in my life."

"Arrogant and strange." Yan Wanchi's eyes flashed repeatedly: "Could it be that he has some secrets within him that allow him to control the surrounding darkness?"

"That would be even better, wouldn't it?"

The black light in their eyes suddenly turned a lot brighter when they had gotten over their initial shock. Even their anger was fully suppressed by the burning flames that were their greed and excitement.

All three of them were possessed by a sudden thought...

If Issei truly has a heaven-defying secret, such as the inheritance of the Devil Emperor for example… if they could find a way to strip it from him… they might just be able to leave this purgatory of darkness!

"Heehee… hahahahaha…"

The Three Yama Ancestors probably had no idea how ugly their laughter sounded, or they were simply past the point of caring. Suddenly, Yan Wangui waved his hands and summoned seven different dark profound formations into existence. Then, he launched them toward Issei from multiple directions.

All seven profound formations were either suppression formations or sealing formations. Issei had proven himself to be way too valuable to kill during the short time he was here... he's even more valuable than the infamous Devil Queen!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that the profound formations forged by the Yama Ancestors were the strongest darkness profound formations in the world. Not even a god emperor would be able to break out of the septuple confinement without considerable effort.

"Your excellency, be careful!" Chi Wuyao warned. She was about to lend a helping hand when Issei shot her a glance which stopped Chi Wuyao in her track.

Issei didn't move a muscle… in the three Yama Ancestors' opinion, it was because he was completely immobilized by their power.

When the first dark profound formation was about to touch Issei… Yan Wangui's hands suddenly shook violently.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!

All seven profound formations exploded like balloons the second they struck Issei.

Every time a profound formation collapsed, it resulted in a terrible storm of darkness. Seven of them combined could wipe out a small star realm like it was nothing.

But Issei only looks at them with a bored expression on his face despite being at the center of the storm. The black energy had failed to ruffle his clothes or even his hair, much less injure him.

"...!?" Shock spread across the Three Yama Ancestors' faces again.

He's… not afraid of darkness?

The trio was boiling with excitement when the shock had passed again.

Yan Wangui curled his fingers, let out a weird cry, and pounced toward Issei like a mad dog. His grayish-white fingers were sparkling with black energy as he made a grab for Issei's throat.

"If you want to die then I shall grant you your wish," Issei said lightly.

Issei accelerated his absorption and the three Yama ancestors finally realized something is happening inside their body.

"HISSHAAAAHHHHHHH!"

All three Yama Ancestors screamed in pain as the Darkness energy within their body starting to diminish at a rapid pace. Even when they tried to absorb the nearby darkness energy to replace the one that they had lost, it doesn't work as they intended. The Darkness energy completely ignores their presence altogether as if they weren't there in the first place!

Seeing that they can't absorb the surrounding darkness energy, they thought that attacking Issei directly is the only way to stop the abnormality that's currently happening... but before they had the chance to execute their plan...

Rumble!

There was a rumble that sounded like the entire Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness itself. Millions of kilometers wide several worlds annihilating hurricanes made from an infinite sea of darkness swept toward the Three Yama Ancestors.

The black hurricanes were so huge and terrible that all Three Yama Ancestors turned as pale as paper.

Their so-called plan was quickly overwhelmed by the black hurricane. Once they ran out of energy, they were thrown far away like they were nothing but bundles of rice straws.

When the Three Yama Ancestors slowly rose to their feet again, they were staring at Issei in fear and disbelief.

Somehow… Issei had manipulated fifty kilometers of yin energy by just standing there!

"What… what's going on? What did he do!?" Yan Wangui shouted hoarsely.

"It can't be… it can't really be…"

"The ultimate devil art of legends… the Eternal Calamity of Darkness!" Yan Wanchi shouted the name that shouldn't exist in a trembling voice.

Eternal Calamity of Darkness is a Profound Art on the same level as Heretical God Arts and Miracle of Life.

The origin of Dark Profound Strength is primordial chaos Yin energy. Eternal Calamity of Darkness is also an Extreme Yin Profound Art.

Learning this profound art from the Devil Emperor source devil blood, the blood of Extreme Yin, is suitable for the females. Therefore, if a male wants to build the Eternal Calamity of Darkness most quickly, he must seek an extremely good female as a cultivation human furnace.

That female needs Primordial Yin intact, to have an extremely high Profound Dao perception and profound energy control, the most important thing is that she needs the purest profound aura! If a male can find such a female, it is best to abolish all her Profound Arts, only keep the purest primordial profound energy, but the benefits she will obtain in the future will outnumber the losses!

Not even the Yama Ancestors, but even Chi Wuyao is completely flabbergasted!

He... He is a Devil Emperor?! But that is not right... Didn't that two Ancient Horned Dragon say that he's the Dragon King? Then how come he...

The more she thought about it, the more confused she becomes. Chi Wuyao's mind has become a jumbled mess at this point... But... But what if he's not only the Dragon King but he's also a Devil Emperor at the same time!? Is it possible in the first place? She doesn't know for sure but what she's currently witnessing is already more than enough proof to conclude that Issei might be a Devil Emperor himself!

What they didn't know is that Issei doesn't have a tiny bit of clue of whatever they're currently thinking... he never heard of this Eternal Calamity of Darkness or whatever before in his entire life.

The answer to their question is quite simple... he's simply the ruler of all elements. The True Dragon Godking who stands above all existence! It's really not complicated at all... but they obviously didn't know that.

"Have mercy, Devil Emperor, have mercy!!!" Yan Wangui screamed in terror seeing that their incoming doom is at hand.

The three of them couldn't move a single muscle and can only lay flat on the cold ground begging for their lives... They can only watch as the boundless darkness energy made its way towards their location...

But Issei completely ignores their pleading and he still calmly absorb the surrounding darkness and death energy.

"Ssss-aaaaaaaaaahhhhh" Their scream of pain and begging echoed loudly within the abyss... a wail of misery from the three of them that was far more shrill than the wailing of ten thousand ghosts.

This extreme pain provoked a painful screech from the three of them, a reaction borne out of pure despair.

Crack!

"Sssss… Arghhhhh… Uwaaaaahhhh!!"

This time, the Darkness energy started to crush their body into mush. How ironic, they have been depending on the Darkness energy within this abyss to prolong their lives but now... that very same darkness energy has become their own doom...

"Devil Queen… save… us… Save us… We... We are willing... to be your slaves... just... save us... Arghhhhhh!"

Seeing that Issei ignores their begging, they turned their attention towards Chi Wuyao.

What a joke! Even if Chu Wuyao is willing to save them, she won't dare to say anything at the moment. Why should she try to annoy Issei even further at this point? So that she will also earn his wrath? No thanks...

Not only that, but Issei also started destroying their soul. The pain of having their soul destroyed bit by bit was like being plunged into hell within a hell!

Once the Darkness energy is done with them, nothing was left behind... not a single drop of blood can be found...

Chi Wuyao who saw this shuddered fiercely. Even she felt fear when she saw how easily Issei handle the three Yama Ancestors. He barely makes any move and three top divine master died just like that! It's as if he's facing an Elementary Profound Cultivator rather than a Divine Master!

At the same time, a feeling of worship started to emerge within Chi Wuyao's charming eyes... she becomes entranced at Issei's current sight which makes him looks like a true Devil Emperor.

"Chi Wuyao." Issei called her name.

"Ah? Y-Yes, young master?" She hastily responded after being snapped out of her thoughts.

"I will give you three days to conquer the other realm within the Northern Region."
