Chapter 443: The Frustrated Divine Blood Sovereign, Lingyi's Message
Chapter 443: The Frustrated Divine Blood Sovereign, Lingyi's Message
"Demon Eye?"
High above in the sky, the old ancestor of the Mixed Blood Sect, Divine Blood Sovereign, glared at Demon Eye Sovereign with eyes that seemed ready to burst, his aura terrifying.
Demon Eye Sovereign, a Supreme Sage Radiant from the Mara Clan, was a Principle Realm Yang Deity.
Divine Blood Sovereign was also a Principle Realm Yang Deity, and although he was wary, he didn't back down because of Demon Eye.
"I demand an explanation for this. Why did you slaughter my granddaughter for no reason?" Divine Blood Sovereign's malevolent aura was intense.
He, too, was a Principle Realm Yang Deity, and he had his own temper.
He needed an explanation for this matter.
"How can you say it was for no reason? Your granddaughter's appearance offended my eyes, and when I was in a bad mood, I killed her on a whim!" Demon Eye Sovereign replied nonchalantly, shamelessly.
At this moment, in the surrounding void, many Mythical Realm and Yang Deity Venerables noticed the unusual situation and hid in the shadows, eager to watch the spectacle.
"You..." Divine Blood Sovereign was furious, his anger reaching the heavens.
As a Principle Realm Yang Deity, he wasn't overly afraid of Demon Eye Sovereign.
"Don't you know that I have many eyes? Your granddaughter may have offended the eyes of others, but not many, because most people have only two eyes. I'm different; I have a hundred billion eyes.
One annoying thing multiplied by a hundred billion becomes a major issue."
Divine Blood Sovereign, furious, said, "If you don't give me an explanation, I won't let this go with the Mara Clan!"
"An explanation? Didn't I already explain myself?" Demon Eye Sovereign replied casually.
Qi Yuan, standing nearby, heard this and felt envious.
His own silver tongue was no match for his divine infant.
Divine Blood Sovereign's eyes flashed with killing intent, "After the Principle Debate Conference, I challenge you to a fight in Beyond Heaven!"
Divine Blood Sovereign directly issued a challenge.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Yang Deities and Mythical Realm beings were shocked.
"He actually issued a challenge!"
"Divine Blood Sovereign is truly enraged!"
"There's a show to watch!"
"Divine Blood Sovereign still has some backbone!"
"Both are Principle Realm beings, if Divine Blood Sovereign backs down, how can he maintain his reputation?"
"Even if he loses, it's just a matter of losing face. Can the Mara Clan really surround and kill Divine Blood Sovereign?"
It was common knowledge that Demon Eye Sovereign was a member of the Mara Clan.
Therefore, when Divine Blood Sovereign issued the challenge, the Venerables present were surprised.
However, it was also understandable. If Divine Blood Sovereign backed down at this moment, he would likely be ridiculed.
Even if he lost the challenge, it wouldn't be a big deal. The Mara Clan was just an ordinary Principle Realm force and couldn't threaten Divine Blood Sovereign's safety.
Demon Eye Sovereign's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "Okay."
Beyond Heaven was a special and strange land.
Yang Deities often chose Beyond Heaven as the battleground for their challenges.
The other Yang Deity Venerables nearby were excited by the prospect.
After all, there was a spectacle to witness.
Challenges in Beyond Heaven were extremely rare.
The last time a Yang Deity was killed was when a Great Principle Realm expert from Dark Demon Abyss slew a Yang Deity from Ghost Control Realm.
But the fight was over too quickly for them to see it.
Now, with two powerful Principle Realm experts facing off, they naturally wanted to witness the battle.
Divine Blood Sovereign's expression darkened as he scanned Demon Eye Sovereign, "Now you can leave. Are you still going to protect these insects below?"
At this moment, he had no way to deal with Demon Eye Sovereign, but he needed to kill those beneath to vent his anger.
In the cultivation world, there were only three types of people: insects, fellow cultivators, and seniors.
Qi Yuan, upon hearing this, became dissatisfied: "You don't follow the law? This has nothing to do with me!
The killer is Demon Eye Sovereign, and I don't even know him!
I didn't call him here, so why are you involving an innocent person?"
Qi Yuan was very unhappy.
Not only was Divine Blood Sovereign's morality in decline, but he also didn't follow the law.
"What does it matter to you if I kill some insects?" Divine Blood Sovereign didn't expect Qi Yuan to talk back and replied coldly.
He continued to stare at Demon Eye Sovereign, "If you don't leave, I'll take action now!"
Divine Blood Sovereign was issuing a warning.
If two Principle Realm Yang Deities fought, Demon Eye Sovereign couldn't truly protect the few beneath them.
"You're so unreasonable. We must uphold justice!" Qi Yuan was very upset.
The world was vast, and there was a principle to follow.
Qi Yuan had his own principles and rules.
"Principles? Humph, what nonsense!" Divine Blood Sovereign's voice was disdainful, and his powerful aura swept through the area, ready to strike Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan's heart trembled upon hearing Divine Blood Sovereign's words.
For some reason, at this moment, facing Divine Blood Sovereign, he felt like he was facing Niu Jiao Sister.
He also felt a sense of powerlessness.
If... he was just Qi Yi, would principles and laws... also be unable to protect him?
He felt his brain swelling again.
Just then, a light laughter sounded, "Divine Blood, you can't kill him."
A Principle Realm Yang Deity appeared, looking elegant with a smile on his face.
The Divine Blood Sovereign's expression turned wary as he regarded the newcomer, "What's this? Isn't your Buddha Kingdom at odds with the Mara Clan? Why get involved in this matter?"
The one who appeared was a Supreme Sage from the Buddha Kingdom.
However, it was clear that he didn't recognize Qi Yuan.
"This has nothing to do with the Buddha Kingdom. I just want to remind you, this person before you is from the famous Demon Abyss."
"Demon Abyss?"
The Divine Blood Sovereign's expression shifted slightly.
If it were someone from the Mara Clan, he might dare to challenge them.
But a Supreme Sage from the Sixth Heaven of the Demon Abyss... He hesitated.
After all, any Grand Supreme Sage could easily annihilate him.
"Hmph, so what if it's the Demon Abyss? Does that mean my granddaughter's death was in vain?" The Divine Blood Sovereign glared at Qi Yuan. "Go back and tell your Mixed Blood Sect, if the Demon Abyss doesn't give me an explanation, they can forget about taking him back!"
His voice was loud and full of authority, but it also hinted at a willingness to compromise.
He wasn't going to kill anyone, but he wanted the Demon Abyss to take responsibility.
"Is this the Blood Cloak from the Demon Abyss, the precious favorite of the Purple Origin?" The elder monk's eyes twinkled with a playful smile. "Are you planning to take him away too?"
The Divine Blood Sovereign's expression changed abruptly upon hearing this, "He's the Blood Cloak?"
His demeanor became more cautious.
If it were any other prodigy from the Demon Abyss, he might dare to take them back.
But this one before him was the Blood Cloak.
Recently, the Blood Cloak had killed a prodigy from the Ghost Control Realm, and a Supreme Sage from that realm had sought compensation from the Demon Abyss.
In response, the Grand Supreme Sage of the Purple Origin had directly intervened, using his powerful abilities to annihilate the Supreme Sage from the Ghost Control Realm.
This incident had shaken the Sixth Heaven tremble.
Even the Divine Blood Sovereign, witnessing the scene in the Stellaria, was shaken to his core.
The Purple Origin Ancestor had killed a Supreme Sage out of anger for the Blood Cloak!
Could this person before him be the Blood Cloak?
The Divine Blood Sovereign found himself in a difficult position.
If it were any other prodigy from the Demon Abyss, he might dare to take them back, but this one... He truly didn't dare.
He feared that if he took the Blood Cloak away, the Purple Origin Ancestor might descend and annihilate him.
He wasn't afraid of the Mara Clan, but he truly feared the Grand Supreme Sage.
They could effortlessly wipe him out.
His face showed hesitation and uncertainty.
He truly didn't dare to take the Blood Cloak away.
"Hey, it doesn't matter if I'm the Blood Cloak or not, what matters is that your granddaughter's death has nothing to do with me.
I don't know this Demon Eye at all, and I didn't ask him to kill your granddaughter. I'm innocent, understand?" Qi Yuan shouted at the Divine Blood Sovereign.
The Divine Blood Sovereign's lips moved slightly, his face turning grim upon hearing this.
If he hadn't known that this person was the Blood Cloak, he might have truly believed it.
But who didn't know that the Mara Clan was the Demon Abyss's lapdog? If the Blood Cloak encountered such a situation, and a Supreme Sage from the Mara Clan intervened, would that Supreme Sage dare to not act?
The Divine Blood Sovereign forced a smile, feeling embarrassed, "Perhaps... I made a mistake?"
"You're truly mistaken. I don't know the Demon Eye Sovereign at all, and today is the first time I've even heard his name!" Qi Yuan said earnestly.
The Divine Blood Sovereign's expression changed again and again.
He wanted to say that when he first arrived, the Blood Cloak had claimed to not know the Demon Eye Sovereign, but he had still called out the name.
"So this truly has nothing to do with me.
Even though your granddaughter threatened to kidnap me and draw my blood, I've remained calm and without murderous intent.
Her death has nothing to do with me." Qi Yuan said earnestly, as if he were an innocent white lotus.
"It seems I was mistaken," the Divine Blood Sovereign said with difficulty.
The surrounding Supreme Sages couldn't help but chuckle at this scene.
If the Blood Cloak hadn't explained, it might have been better, but now, it was as if he was slapping the Divine Blood Sovereign in the face.
"Now that you know you were mistaken, should you apologize and compensate me? Your granddaughter tried to kidnap and draw my blood.
Give me compensation." Qi Yuan extended his hand, demanding payment.
The Divine Blood Sovereign's face turned grim, as if his entire family had just died.
He stared at Qi Yuan and clenched his teeth, throwing a storage bag into Qi Yuan's hand.
"This is your compensation."
After saying this, he turned and left without looking back, clearly unable to show his face here any longer.
The surrounding Supreme Sages witnessed this scene, some laughing and others sighing.
The Divine Blood Sovereign had dared to challenge a Supreme Sage for his granddaughter, but he didn't dare to do anything to the Blood Cloak, an Inferior Sage.
The Demon Eye Sovereign's figure disappeared, and the watching Supreme Sages also vanished.
The Wind Spirit Sovereign landed and faced Qi Yuan, bowing slightly, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
He was a Supreme Sage, but facing the Blood Cloak, a junior, he addressed him as such.
He hadn't expected that this incident would attract the appearance of a famous prodigy from the Demon Abyss.
Facing the Blood Cloak, he dared not be impolite.
"Even the arrogant Divine Blood Sovereign, with his Supreme Principle, seemed to be intimidated by the Blood Cloak, causing him to be more polite towards it."
Qi Yuan looked at the Wind Spirit Sovereign and said calmly, "This is my sister. I plan to chat with her and Yu Meng Xian. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, the Wind Spirit Sovereign's eyes widened in surprise. He never expected that the seemingly ordinary Qi Yi had such a connection.
"Of course," he said, tactfully leaving the area to give Qi Yuan and his companions some space.
As the Wind Spirit Sovereign departed, Qi Yuan turned to the two women and said, "Now that I'm a Blood Cloak of the Dark Demon Abyss, please keep my identity a secret."
"Understood," Yu Meng Xian quickly nodded in agreement.
Qi Yi also nodded, although she was puzzled.
"Alright, the matter is resolved," Qi Yuan said, spreading his hands. Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "By the way, do you know how to get to Star Arch? I can't remember if I turned off the lights at home, and I don't want to waste electricity."
Yu Meng Xian's eyes widened slightly, and then she said, "The path to Star Arch... is gone. After leaving Star Arch, I couldn't find my way back."
"It's gone?" Qi Yuan sounded disappointed.
"It's disappeared, leaving behind nothing but emptiness," Yu Meng Xian added, her face filled with confusion.
"When I was in Star Arch, Zero One asked me to deliver something to a senior," she continued.
Yu Meng Xian produced something resembling a storage card.
"From Zero One?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up as he took the card.
At that moment, his consciousness connected with the storage card.
A familiar mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Qi Yuan's ears.
"Master, by the time you hear this message, Zero One will be in an unknown location, and it's uncertain when we'll meet again.
Regarding Star Arch, there are still some mysteries you may not have uncovered.
Star Arch... is but a dream, an illusion, a void, and the thoughts of an immensely powerful being."
Qi Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he listened.
He recalled the woman he had seen in the Root Devil Sea.
If Star Arch was the product of her thoughts, it made sense.
However, this also deepened his understanding of her immense power.
At the same time, it seemed to hint at the nature of the existence beyond the Grand Supreme Enlightenment.
"All things in the world are illusory.
In Star Arch, Wangu is Zero One, and the Great Dao is... survival.
Surviving is the key to turning illusion into reality."
Zero One's voice abruptly stopped.
Qi Yuan pondered and savored these words.
Wangu is Zero One, and the Great Dao is survival?
Could Star Arch's existence be for a Grand Supreme Enlightenment being to survive the tribulation and break through to the third layer of the Yang Shen? Survival? Procreation?
It seemed that all things in the world sought survival and continuation.
Even some unique creatures with only half a day of life seemed to strive to procreate, leaving behind offspring as proof of their existence.
Wasn't cultivating immortality similar to these creatures' efforts?
Was it for freedom? Self-reliance? Or survival?
As these thoughts swirled in Qi Yuan's mind, he felt his brain expanding, and he even craved a Blood Nourishing Enlightenment Pill.
He believed that perhaps he could understand the meaning behind Zero One's words.
Perhaps he could even gain insight into a Grand Supreme Enlightenment.
After all, Zero One was a robot, and its brain was undoubtedly faster, smarter, and more knowledgeable than his.
However, Qi Yuan quickly dismissed these thoughts.
He couldn't afford to think further.
He was about to reach the Principle Wall, and he needed to save his mental energy for that challenge.
"Ah, it's better to be blissfully ignorant in this life," Qi Yuan sighed, unwilling to think further.
...
Three days later, an unexpected visitor arrived at the Mixed Blood Sect.
The Divine Blood Sovereign narrowed his eyes, gazing at the Heavenly Lord before him, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Is this true?"
"Of course," the Great Le Tianzun laughed, "Are you interested in... revenge?"
This time, the Banner Master had instructed to recruit more Yang Shen forces.
"But... isn't the Sixth Heaven unable to gather too many Yang Shen?" The Divine Blood Sovereign asked, puzzled.
The visitor had come to help him take revenge and kill the Blood Cloak.
Then, he wanted the Mixed Blood Sect to join the Ghost Control Realm.
The Divine Blood Sovereign was tempted.
In the past, he had wanted to join a major power in the Sixth Heaven but had been rejected.
The Sixth Heaven did not allow too many Yang Shen to join.
"The Banner Master has spoken; why would he deceive you?" The Great Le Tianzun said calmly.
Hearing this, the Divine Blood Sovereign hesitated but eventually nodded. "Alright."
After all, the visitor had made the offer clear.
If he refused, he might offend the Ghost Control Realm.
Joining a major power in the Sixth Heaven would also enhance his safety.
For some reason, he felt that the Sixth Heaven was undergoing hidden changes.
