Chapter 229

The tremor of the earth makes it more difficult for Xie Bi An’s already shaking body to support. His eyes are blurred and oscillating. Under the dizziness, he fell to the ground, and the whole world followed and turned upside down. Familiar things reconstruct his vision in an unfamiliar way, and everything seems so absurd.

But what could be more absurd than the truth?

He watched the Eastern Emperor Bell shoot out streaks of grand light. The sacred and ancient bell sound came from the clouds, each sound getting deeper and more distant, resounding through heaven and earth. It is believed that at this moment, whether human, ghost or god, are all shocked by this magnificent divine power and heartfelt fear at the same time because this is the game between an ancient divine treasure and another ancient divine treasure, and the outcome of this game will determine the survival of the human and ghost worlds.

On the picture scroll of the Shanhe Sheji Map, the tiny Eastern Emperor Bell was also shining brightly in gold, yet it was just swaying in place. Fan Wu She's face turned red and veins appeared on his forehead. He roared hard and stretched his body, releasing all his spiritual power in a desperate attempt. For a while, the spiritual pressure was so strong that it could almost knock people down.

Xie Bi An felt that his heart and lungs were going to be crushed flat, and blood gushed out of his mouth again. His internal organs were in unbearable pain, and his consciousness was even more lax.

Finally, the Eastern Emperor Bell was pried up a crack.

If Zhong Kui was still alive, no one or thing in this world could shake the Eastern Emperor Bell. However, he had passed away, and with enough dense spiritual power and the power of the Shanhe Sheji Map, the masterless Eastern Emperor Bell was finally controlled by Fan Wu She, even if it was only moved slightly.

Xie Bi An perceived an extremely strong Yin energy coming from the direction of the Eastern Emperor Bell. His face had already lost its colors, and despair covered his pupils.

"Xuanyuan Heavenly Secret Talisman, do what I command, come forth!" Fan Wu She shouted.

A black shadow practically flew out impatiently from the gap of the Eastern Emperor Bell and flew straight towards Fan Wu She's palm.

With a loud boom, the Eastern Emperor Bell smashed down to earth again. All this happened in a flash, but the world can never go back to the past.

Fan Wu She staggered a few steps, yet his hand clutched the warm, cool jade talisman tightly. He panted heavily. The internal and external injuries combined with the near depletion of spiritual energy made him move towards the edge of collapse, but his gaze shone brightly, like an extremely hungry beast that had finally found its prey.

He gasped and slowly opened his trembling hand. An ancient military talisman was lying on his palm. It is three inches long, one finger thick, green glitter as jade, and written with red blood.

Throughout the four great treasures of the ancient world, Shen Nong Ding is as big as a mountain, the Eastern Emperor Bell can alarm the heavens, and the Shanhe Sheji Map can change everything. Only the Xuanyuan Heavenly Secret Talisman looks the least flamboyant and the most unremarkable, but it is the most sinister and the craziest.

The Heavenly Secret Talisman glittered, faintly at first, but became more and more dazzling later, emitting more and more of a black death aura. Fan Wu She's chest was heaving violently, his eyes were full of excitement, and the color of the red blood vessels spreading over most of his eyes actually became darker and darker, and finally turned into black color. Like the interlocking roots planted in the ground, each vein was supplying a deadly poison.

The majestic surging Yin energy was like tons of Thunderfire Stones detonated in unison, blasting in all directions. The remaining power was full of wildness and doesn't disperse for a long time. Fan Wu She was dressed in black clothes, and was covered by a dense black death aura. He is like a dense fog, gathering all the demons in the dark world here with the ambition to devour the sky and the earth.

That bunch of black death aura viciously converged and diffused again, coloring the large sky. Among the mist, Fan Wu She stood in the void. The Heavenly Secret Talisman was hovering above his palm. His clothes were fluttering, his black hair was disordered, and he stood firmly, just looking at the magical treasure that can give him divine power in his hand. For a moment, he looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh.

The Xuanyuan Heavenly Secret Talisman is born!

The Supreme Demon is born!

He had been tortured in Hell for a hundred years. He had been dragged by countless fierce ghosts into the Wangchuan River. He had endured humiliation, kept a low profile, spent many years planning, finally seized back his magical treasure, and finally got back the power he craved! From now on, the sky and the earth, no one can stop him. He wants to grasp what he wants in his hand again one by one and never let them go again.

Xie Bi An couldn’t stand it anymore. In front of his eyes appeared Zong Zi Xiao, who was surrounded by that black death aura and became a devil back then. It was Zong Zi Xiao’s hatred combined with the erosion of his mind by the Heavenly Secret Talisman which created that cold, evil and hostile Supreme Demon, and there is nothing he can do about it. His rebirth is just a repetition of the past.

If this is fate, why let him go down the same road again?

Xie Bi An closed his eyes. Tears slid down his pale cheeks, and he fell into darkness.

----

Xie Bi An felt immersed in warmth. This warmth awakened his stiff and numb body. He slowly opened his eyes.

Fan Wu She's face burst into view without warning, packed to the brim.

Xie Bi An suddenly didn't know what time it was and who he should treat this face as.

But Fan Wu She did not give him time to think. He perceived there was spiritual energy being injected into his body to help him recover his injuries. His tongue was bitter, presumably being fed a healing elixir. He looked at this face blankly, yet did not return to his senses for a long time.

Fan Wu She swept away the weakness not long ago. The Yin energy injected into him by the Heavenly Secret Talisman made him recover as before, and his eyes also became grimmer.

Seeing that Xie Bi An opened his eyes, Fan Wu She continued to channel his spiritual energy continuously, while lowering his head and kissing that bare forehead.

Such a light action also caused Xie Bi An's body to tremble. As if waking up from a dream, his eyes immediately crawled with panic, despair and resistance. The Heavenly Secret Talisman had been born. The Supreme Demon and that ancient divine treasure which had darkened the entire immortal cultivation world formerly, really came back to the world. He had cultivated for so many years, made a serious vow in front of Zhong Kui's grave, but in the end he could not stop it at all.

That look displeased Fan Wu She, but Xie Bi An’s injuries were quite serious and his spiritual veins were severely damaged. He could not help but regret and feel sorry: "Don't be afraid." His tone can be rated as gentle, but also sufficiently indifferent, "You can't change anything anymore."

Xie Bi An opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. His eyes became emptier.

That look of there’s no grief greater than despair caused Fan Wu She to frown, "I have seized back the Heavenly Secret Talisman, do you know what this means? It means that not only you, but everyone will be dominated by me, and you are no exception. It seems that fate is arranged in this way. You are destined to belong only to me."

"... Boundary." Xie Bi An murmured.

"Don't worry, the boundary is still there. If the earth is in chaos, who am I going to rule?" Fan Wu She smoothed Xie Bi An's sweaty forehead hair, "Big brother, stop doing foolish things again. Back then, there was a period of time when you were awake. You know I'm a man of my word. If you’re obedient, I'll be good to you."

He princess carried him and rose into the air with his sword. His burning gaze was staring at the distant front, "Cheng Yan Zhi's body is in Wuji Palace, right?"

PS: uhhhh…pretty sure Yan Zhi’s body is in Heaven Master Palace…
