Abyssal Ritual

Totem level abyssals weren’t born. Rather, when an abyssal with a top True Divinity level strength accepts the energy of the Demon God’s Tomb to enter their bodies, they are promoted to a higher realm! After this promotion is completed, this new abyssal can slowly cultivate to activate the energy within their body.

This entire process is called the ‘abyssal ritual’. But, the burden it places on the body is far too great. There is an extremely high demand on the life potential and strength of the abyssal who accepts this ritual. If their body cannot withstand this energy then they will directly turn to ashes.

Moreover, there is a condition in order to begin the ‘abyssal ritual’, and that is that… one requires mysterious ritual rites, a token required to open the Demon God’s Tomb. This is also the key to activate the ‘abyssal ritual’. This token takes the form of black books filled with life essence runes of their previous owner.

There are a total of six of these black ceremonial books, each one corresponding to one of the six great totem level abyssals. Only when a totem level abyssal dies will the corresponding black book appear.

Every time the Demon God’s Tomb is opened and the black book is used, and if the abyssal that withstands the ritual successfully passes the test, then the black book will vanish and no longer appear.

On the other hand, if the abyssal that undergoes the ritual fails then they will disintegrate to ashes and the black book will disappear into the void, appearing in some far off and unknown place. Sometimes, the black book will even leave the Dark Abyss.

## Legend of the Black Book

Countless abyssals desire to obtain a black ritual tome and many high level abyssals will use all methods they have to search for one. However, to look for one cannot even be described as searching for a needle in an ocean. Thus there is a saying that an abyssal who obtains a black ritual tome is favored by the Demon God and is also an inborn Demon Envoy.

A Demon Envoy has an extremely high status in the Dark Abyss, because they have been favored by the Demon God and also because their chances of passing the test and becoming a totem level abyssal are the highest!

### **Content**

The first sentence of the black book’s title page was: “The Tomb is the end, and also the beginning!”

Then, what was written was, “The one who possesses this book is the embodiment of (*insert Totem Abyssal name*)!”

There are six totem level abyssals. No matter which abyssal managed to withstand the baptism of the abyssal ritual, that demon would become a totem abyssal based on which book they acquired. And when a totem abyssal died, only then would this black book appear.

## Trivia

* In the past, their was a black book found that had actually been obtained by a saint genius. This was a cruel joke. The intelligent beings of the 33 Heavens have actually received the favor of the Demon God. If the saying that one who finds the black book through chance is the Demon Envoy then that would be an extreme loss of face for the abyssals.
Contract Beast

There were some martial artists that would raise a contract beast in order to increase their own strength and a martial artist could form a contract with a beast in order to summon them into battle.

For instance, Mu Qianyu’s Little Flame, the Demon Emperor’s holy three-headed divine hound, andYan Mo, who had been left in the Southern Wilderness by the Sorcerer, were both two kinds of contract beasts.

A martial artist’s contract could increase their strength by a greal deal, but there weren’t many martial artists that actually had one. The reason for this was that the conditions for having a contract beast were simply too high.

It wasn’t easy to raise a contract beast. First, one had to find a contract beast that could grow to a high level; this was already extremely difficult. Then, in order to have it grow, one needed to invest a massive amount of energy and resources in doing so. For instance, the reason that Mu Qianyu had invaded Thundercrash Mountain and fought there was all in order to help her life’s Vermillion Bird evolve. Not just that, but the more talented a martial artist was, the higher grade of a contract beast they needed. Otherwise, their contract beast would not be able to follow them forwards, and it would only weaken them.
Bairong

At this time, the world around them suddenly trembled and a portal appeared in the air. With a flash of white light, a thin old man appeared from a transmission array. This was Carefree Island’s Elder who was specifically tasked with passing information, Bairong. Everything that happened within the Red Desolate Mystic Realm was first reported to him.
Cuicui

## [source]

The last few words were spoken to a palace maid. Xiaoxiao gratefully smiled, flattered that someone like Yang Yun would care about such an unimportant person as her.

The maid named Cuicui respectfully served tea to everyone. Her appearance was exquisite and with her young age she still had a Xiantian realm cultivation. For such a heavenly gifted girl to be a palace maid, this was obviously proof of the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom’s legacy.
Astral

The ‘**Astral**’ inscription symbol did not have any attribute, but it was able to increase the efficiency of true essence by a mind boggling 50%, while simultaneously have a special skill of inscription – ‘Astral Spear’.

The reason this skill of inscription was special was because it did not increase the combat strength of a weapon. Instead, it extended a weapon’s range of attack.

After one activated ‘Astral Spear’, true essence would enter and become part of the spear. Theoretically, as long as a martial artist’s true essence was powerful enough, the spear could be infinitely extended!

The value of the rare materials required for this inscription symbol was steep. Although it was much easier than looking for those needed in the body inscription symbols, it was not so easy to collect them in a short time.

Lin Ming attached this inscription symbol in the Heavy Profound Soft Spear.
Blue Luan

In the Divine Phoenix Island, the Blue Luan is a saint beast revered alongside the Vermillion Bird as contract beasts.

The Blue Luan were distant remnants of ancient birds that were inoculated with the blood from God Beasts, much like how Vermillion Birds came from the True Phoenix. In this case, it can be assumed that Blue Luans came from the blood of Seven-Colored Luans.
Bi Luo

## [source]

This feminine looking man was the other deputy house master of the Seven Profound Martial House – Bi Luo.

Bi Luo had long ago once taken Ouyang Boyan as his master, and was considered Ouyang Dihua’s senior apprentice brother. However, Bi Luo’s outwardly feminine appearance was simply too strong. The underlying concepts behind the Acacia Faction’s cultivation methods were to complement their Yang energy with the Yin energy of others; it was most suited for virile and exuberant young men to cultivate. Bi Luo had cultivated this for several years with low results and had only become increasingly like a woman. As for his cultivation, he hadn’t made many great gains in it.

Afterwards, with no other path left, Bi Luo had withdrawn from the Acacia Faction and joined the Mirage Faction. The Mirage Faction was a strange and mysterious sect of the Seven Profound Valleys. Their founder was a woman, and almost all of their faction disciples were women. They were proficient in all sorts of illusionary powers.

The Mirage Faction’s cultivation was most suitable for women to cultivate; it was simply impossible for others. Bi Luo had practiced this women’s cultivation method, and it was actually within his element. Now, Bi Luo had reached the middle Houtian realm and also the fourth layer of the ‘Dreamheart Magic’ cultivation method. Every illusion that he created was without the slightest flaw; even a peak Houtian stage master would be hard-pressed to see through it.

## Plot

Back when Lin Ming was in the Seven Profound Martial House, the Deputy House Master Bi Luo had been a master of appearance changing techniques. Not only he could alter his appearance but also copy a person’s voice, temperament, and even their aura. When Lin Ming had strayed into the Southern Wilderness, that was all because Bi Luo had changed into Qin Ziya’s appearance without Lin Ming even noticing.

Afterwards, when large scale beast tides erupted throughout the entire Divine Phoenix Province, Lin Ming had rushed to Green Mulberry City to assist them. Bi Luo had been lying in wait there to assassinate Lin Ming, but the end result was that he had been killed by Lin Ming instead with the dreamland enchantment. Bi Luo’s special appearance changing technique had also fallen into Lin Ming’s hands.
Blood Lingzhi

The majority of Blood Lingzhi were 300 years old; if they were not picked at that time then they would wither and die.

A 400 year old Blood Lingzhi was already very rare and precious for mortal cultivators. 500 year old Lingzhi simply couldn’t be found anywhere in the world of mortals.

Only the largest sects would know how raise them through their own mysterious and mystical cultivation methods. This kind of Blood Lingzhi was able to supplement the Qi in one’s body and blood, and would make a martial artist’s blood stronger and more vigorous. Even their strength would increase.
Blood Carnage

## [source]

A top ranked martial artist in his own Great World. He hails from a Great World King influence and is considered their peak genius.

In the Divine Realm First Martial Meeting, he had fought with enemies uptil the finals of the entire event. He was a master in the top 10 - 100 of the Divine Seal Decree along with Dragon Fang, Shiku, Juggernaut, Yuwen Bo and the others.

In the first round of the finals, he immediately admitted defeat to Lin Ming.

Facing Lin Ming, Blood Carnage wasn’t able to summon the least bit of courage to fight. If it was an opponent that was stronger than him, but not by too much, then Blood Carnage would still fight. Although he would be defeated, it would still be a glorious defeat that tempered himself.

But facing this freak like Lin Ming who was included in the Divine Seal 12 Children, Blood Carnage was well aware that he would be defeated within two attacks if he fought. In front of several hundred million people, what reason was there to bring shame and trouble upon himself? If he was going to lose like that then it would be better to preserve his own strength to deal with the following matches, because no matter how bad his results were he still needed to fight the full 18 matches.
Dao Diagram

When source energy naturally evolved, it would also naturally form a dao diagram. This was the so-called ‘postcelestial dao diagram’. The postcelestial meant that the dao diagram was naturally formed, whereas precelestial meant that it was man-made.

When source energy formed a postcelestial dao diagram, it would contain the inherent Great Dao of martial arts principles. This was also the so-called natural Laws.

A dao diagram that formed during one's Life Destruction stages meant that one had a great future ahead of them, this was an assurance that one could reach a high enough Ninefall and even reach Holy Lord.
Concept of Darkness(Yin)

The Concept of Darkness was a Concept that surpassed the five elements. Its degree of mystery surpassed the Concepts of the five elements and neared that of the Concepts of Space and Time. It could even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Concept of Space and Time, the Concept of Annihilation, and the Concept of Eternity.

* First level: Devour True Essence
	+ The Concept of Darkness had the attribute of devouring all energy.
* Second level
	+ Turn Space Viscous - Darkness was similar to chaos. Once darkness became thick enough, even space would become viscous. This stickiness would make all motions slower.
* Third level: Blot Out
* Fourth level: Manifestation
* Fifth Level: BlackHeart
* Sixth Level: Destruction
* Seventh level: Dark Domain
* Eighth level: Before Light
* Ninth level: Engulf
* Tenth level: Shadow World
Chaos Stones

A chaos stone was a material formed at the creation of the universe, and then slowly evolved over the countless years. It became a naturally formed totem of chaos, with the traces of the universe’s source energy left on the chaos stone.

In the legends, before the universe was conceived, all there was in existence was chaos; the three thousand boundless worlds and the Realm of the Gods hadn’t yet formed. This is the so-called primal forming chaos. These stone totems are carved from the traces of source energy and principles during the time when the primal chaos was taking form.

Those chaos stone recorded the vicissitudes of the universe, having been marked by chaos energy, a type of energy that preceded all other types of energy such as the five main elemental energies, primal chaos energies, and so forth. They also contained the power of the Source Laws and were a worldly treasure.

A chaos stone was something that was pointed at the source of the Great Dao. If one could fully understand a chaos stone, they would be enlightened on the principles of revolution for the universe’s source energy. One could even become the person with the deepest comprehension of Laws in the entire Divine Realm, becoming an existence on the level of an Empyrean!

The traces on a chaos stone were not so fine, but rather a bit rough. Those were traces formed from natural energy, with both deep and shallow grooves. They were unlike stone tablets that supreme elders used to engrave their laws, with its delicate countless and diverse traces.

Carved at the forming of the universe, these chaos stones had accumulated the infinite years of time. They were objects that had existed longer than anything else in the world. Every trace upon the chaos stone told a story about the myriad changes of the universe. They recorded the birth of countless celestial bodies, their glory, their radiance, and even their death!

At the same time, this chaos stone also carried it with the aura of endless space. This universe was truly infinite. 3000 boundless worlds and the 3000 Great Worlds of the Divine Realm did not account for the entirety of the universe! Within this world, there were countless mystic realms and too many unknown enigmas and riddles that were waiting for mankind to explore. A simple Law could evolve into countless mysterious and limitless incomprehensible phenomena. Even an Empyrean would find it difficult to fully understand all the Laws of the universe.

The universe with its three axis held infinite space. From ancient times until now, countless eons had passed and would continue to pass without end!

Why were the chaos stones so precious? It was because they had the source Laws carved into them at the very forming of the universe. If one meditated and perceived them, that was equal to perceiving the Laws of the universe. Usually, those universe Laws had already fused into stars, space, time, and all living beings everywhere. Wanting to filter out those Laws and perceive them was easier said than done. One needed top cultivation methods and also an incredibly high level of perception.

Cultivator

**Cultivator** (修者 xiūzhě) (修士 xiūshì) (修仙者 xiūxiānzhě) – a person who trains in martial & mystical arts, generally in order to become powerful and increase their longevity. Meditation and the cultivation of Qi are common practices among cultivators.

* Rogue Cultivators (散修 sǎnxiū) – literally translates as “Loose Cultivators”. Independent cultivators unaffiliated with any sect, clan, or other martial organizations.

A cultivator in the martial world are beings that use cultivation methods in order to gain strength and longevity. These are martial arts cultivators.

Dark Moon Island

It was a dangerous area within the South Sea, and was the eye of the South Sea’s Yin earth pulse. All year round, frost Yin energy was gathered there. It was said that in ancient times, an unparalleled war had taken place on that island, and countless powerhouses had died.

Since then, a bone-chilling wind and a black fog covered the island all year, and many fierce and vicious ghosts and otherworldly beasts existed there. Just the chilling wind by itself was dangerous for Pulse Condensation martial artists. As for the ghosts and other dangerous residents of that island, there were many powerhouses that were comparable to Houtian masters, and it was even said that there were Ghost Kings that were equal to Xiantian masters.

Dark Moon Island’s black rock can inhibit and prevent soul perception. In addition, Dark Moon Island is an extremely vast land.
Alchemy

**Alchemy** (丹道 dāndào) (外丹 wàidān) – the refining of plants, minerals, and other substances into medicinal pills & elixirs. In these novels, Alchemists (丹师) are essentially pharmacists who work with magical materials and make miracle drugs.

Alchemy was a very good tempering technique for one’s mental strength and soul force. Every time one overdrew their divine soul, after recovering, their divine soul would be more formidable than before. This was the reason that most martial artists chose to learn a secondary skill as an occupation.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that every alchemist could also be called a skilled geologist and explorer. In order to look for wood spirit jade, and especially high quality wood spirit jade, one would often have to search hundreds or even thousands of feet underground. A martial artist’s perception had problems penetrating underground to begin with, much less the fact that the regions where wood spirit jade existed often had special geological features that interfered with perception.

With these factors combined, an alchemist could only rely on their experience and knowledge to search for wood spirit jade.

Alchemy was an extremely tedious and complicated process.

Bai Shuxuan

## [source]

Bai Shuxuan was the chief disciple of the Falling Cloud Sect, and her status was equal to Jiang Baoyun’s in the Seven Profound Valleys. She was also the absolute famed talent of her generation, and the fame of her strength was no less than Lin Ping’s.

Bai Shuxuan of Falling Cloud Sect and Lin Ping of Peacock Mountain were known as the Dragon and Phoenix Pair of the 19 third-grade sects.

Lin Ping was a year older, and he had already stepped into the Houtian realm. As for Bai Shuxuan, she remained in the Pulse Condensation period, but she could break through at any time, she was only waiting for her true essence to flood over and make a natural breakthrough.

* Considered Earth Talent (Tier 2) by Divine Phoenix Island
* Made a draw against Jiang Baoyun

## Techniques

In that moment, Bai Shuxuan was surrounded by pure water origin energy.

Bai Shuxuan’s degree of comprehension of the Concept of Water was obviously much more deep and profound than Jiang Lanjian’s Concept of Wind!

Bottleneck

Bottleneck (瓶颈 píngjǐng) – the term for when cultivators figuratively hit a wall in their training and it suddenly becomes incredibly difficult to proceed. When they reach a bottleneck, cultivators may require new Insights, the aid of medicinal pills, or even harsher training in order to make a Breakthrough (突破 tūpò) and successfully bypass the bottleneck.

**Bottlenecks** are situations that arise from a martial artis's stunned cultivation, causing one's growth to delay.

The **term** comes from the shape of an actual **bottleneck**, or the narrow neck or mouth of a bottle. Metaphorically, it is derived from the neck of a bottle, where the flow speed of the liquid is limited by its neck.

In the world of martial arts , a bottleneck occurs when someone at a critical stage in cultivation fails in surpassing their boundaries, thus stagnating their growth on the martial path .

A martial artist would often face bottlenecks during their cultivation. Once they bumped into this bottleneck, no amount of tortuous seclusion could solve this problem. All they could do was go out and adventure through the world, searching for some fortuitous event that could help them make a successful breakthrough.

These fortuitous events came in all sorts of forms. Some were life and death battles, some were comprehending Laws, some were even inspired from the beauty of the world. Once one had a stroke of revelation they could enlighten themselves and make a breakthrough in their cultivation.

Black Dragon Phantom

## Description

This Black Dragon phantom wasn’t a true dragon to begin with. It was originally an evil spirit and after it found the Black Dragon Spear, it slowly fused with it, using the Black Dragon Spear as its foundation to cultivate.

The reason that it appeared in the shape of a dragon was because there was a fragment of remnant dragon will left within the Black Dragon Spear. This was because the artifact spirit of the Black Dragon Spear had been a true dragon spirit, but this dragon spirit had already vanished long before the evil spirit had found it.

Otherwise, the Black Dragon Spear would never have allowed an evil spirit to enter.

After this evil spirit entered the Black Dragon Spear, it fused with the black dragon aura in the spear shaft and gained the characteristics of a dragon. But, its true nature always remained cruel and sinister.

For so many years, this evil spirit had used the changing terrain of the fourth level to avoid characters like Sheng Mei that could truly pose a threat to it. Only when people like the Divine Void Crown Prince appeared would it reveal itself in order to tempt them close and steal away their flesh and blood essence.

As Lin Ming discovered this he was secretly dumbfounded. This evil spirit was truly crafty! A great reason he was able to subdue it was also because of luck.
Ardent Virtue Star (Twofold Dao Palace)

The Nine Stars of the Dao Palace – seven bright and two dark. As the seventh Dao Palace of the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace, the Twofold Dao Palace was the last of the seven bright Dao Palaces and also the most unusual Dao Palace.

Its unusualness was embodied in its position. Every Dao Palace had a specific position in a martial artist’s body. For instance, the Daevic Eye Dao Palace was in between the eyebrows, the Martial Sovereign Dao Palace was in the four limbs, the Purple Temple Dao Palace was in the dantian, and so forth.

As for the Twofold Dao Palace, it had a particularly unique position; it was located outside a cultivator’s body.

After the Twofold Dao Palace opened, it would condense into a star that appeared in the void not too far away from a martial artist. This star was named the Twofold Star.

Then, the Laws of the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace would use this Twofold Star as the foundation, gathering infinite starlight and gradually taking the form of a person’s phantom.

This phantom would be completely similar to a cultivator in appearance.

Thus, this was where the name of the Twofold Dao Palace came from.

As the last of the seven bright Dao Palaces, the Twofold Dao Palace gathered the most strength of the nine stars, several times that of the previous Dao Palaces. This also meant that the Twofold Dao Palace was the mightiest of the seven bright Dao Palaces.

When this starlight phantom first appears it would have 50% of the true body’s combat strength. After that, as long as the cultivator poured in a part of his source blood vitality and source soul, concentrating it into this Twofold Star, then it would be able to have a flesh and blood avatar.

This avatar was named the Twofold Avatar.

The more blood essence the Twofold Avatar received, the more powerful it would become. In addition, with the starlight of the highest heavens that the Twofold Dao Palace gathered, it would eventually become an extremely powerful weapon.

Of course, because the cultivator branched out a part of their blood vitality, they would suffer some damage to their strength. But the degree to which they were injured would be far less than that increased strength brought about by the avatar.

The avatar of the Twofold Dao Palace was created by a martial artist taking out a portion of his blood essence and casting it in starlight of the high heavens, transforming it into true flesh and blood.

One couldn’t afford to lose such an avatar.

Moreover, this avatar came from the same origins as the main body. It could separate from the main body and also fuse with the main body.

Once the avatar and main body merged together, it would cause one’s strength to erupt, doubling over.

This sort of ability was not something that a refined avatar could possess.

In normal situations, after a martial artist opened the Twofold Dao Palace, the main body and avatar were mostly fused together. With this one could display the greatest strength.

It was only in cultivation that they would separate. Like this, absorbing heaven and earth origin energy would be that much faster.

Ancient Phoenix Saint Body

This was a divine body that had once existed in the Sky Spill Continent during ancient times.

Although the history of the Sky Spill Continent from 100,000 years ago and further back was missing, there were still some glorious family clans with a long legacy that had managed to obtain some ruined jade slips or carved stones from ancient times, and had thus obtained minor understandings of the situation back then.

According to the available records, in the Sky Spill Continent of 100,000 years ago, that was when warlords and rivals all rose up together, with countless peerless heroes filling the land. The so-called Ancient Phoenix Saint Body was a physique that came from a special family clan. In terms of comprehending the Fire Laws, they excelled far more than everyone else on the continent. They could also summon a flame phoenix phantom and other such miracles that Lin Ming performed during his battle with Situ Yaoyue.
Blacksalt

## [source]

* Blacksalt was a top ranked core disciple of a True Divinity Holy Land. His reputation was extremely high.
* Saint Sea First Martial Meeting 5th Place

## Appearance

he was skinny and tall like a bamboo pole. His hands were also thin and gnarly like the claws of a chicken. The sockets of his eyes were sunken in to an extreme degree, making him seem quite dreadful.
Atlas World

Charming Phoenix Palace

Crimson Light World and Atlas World were considered third-order worlds. There was the greatest number of third-order worlds, over 2000 of them.

Atlas World was one of the Divine Realm’s 3000 primary worlds of Crimson Light Great World. The world was vast to the point that it was nearly immeasurable. This world held three of the Ancient Phoenix Clan’s branch palaces, and the Ancient Phoenix smelting trial was also held here.

Within the entire Atlas World, 80% of the Ancient Phoenix Clan’s female geniuses were gathered at Charming Phoenix Palace.

Thus, Charming Phoenix Palace surpassed Phoenix Cry Palace and Praying Phoenix Palace in terms of talent. Correspondingly, the resources that the headquarters passed down to them also surpassed those of Phoenix Cry Palace and Praying Phoenix Palace.
Celestial

## Appearance

A powerful ancient race that has gold skin, shining with metallic luster. They also have long wings on their backs.

These people all wore black combat uniforms and their skin was pale gold. Their eyes were deep and a pair of strange-looking wings of light grew out from their backs.

These wings of light shimmered with strange runes, as if galaxies circled within them, lingering about.

Celestials!

This group that arrived all had auras as vast as a sea, unfathomably deep. Their eyes glittered with electric lights, each one possessing uncommon levels of strength.

## Members

Race with population of 350 million in Primordial Universe.

10 billion years ago, the celestials were weaker than the god race. In even more distant times, the celestials had been vassals of the god race.

But afterwards, as the population of the celestials grew and their talent also surpassed that of other races, they slowly became independent, eventually occupying a number of universes not much fewer than the god race. Now, although the destiny of the celestials neared exhaustion, their numbers were still far greater than those of the primal god race. Today, every celestial that came had an overwhelming aura and they looked upon the god race as if they were equals.

The primal god race of today was no longer the primal god race of days past. The celestials had become the earthshaking race within the Primeval Universe that could command the winds and waters, and in total strength they were no weaker than the primal god race.

And with the invasion of the saints, the celestials that possessed far greater numbers than the god race were able to resist the saints far more effectively.

## Land of Inheritance

The celestial race originated from the Asura lineage, and there was a land of inheritance for those of the Asura lineage. The inheritance totem in that land was similar in appearance and aura to the Asura War God Lin Ming. And, what was even more inconceivable was that the aura on Lin Ming’s body seemed even purer than the inheritance totem, making them want to kneel and prostrate themselves before him.

## Members

### Grand Elders

* Grand Elder: Tuo Bagui Battle Emperor
## Trivia

* In terms of inheritance lineage, the truth was that the celestials were also part of the Asura Road Master’s lineage. The difference was that 10 billion years ago, the celestials were nothing but a vassal race, a minor branch to the god race.
* The truth was that the celestials and god race were brother races. With the great calamity before them, the two could be said to be dependent on each other. If uniting as one wasn’t enough to win the war, if they were to even fight, that would only mean defeat would come that much quicker.
Deboning

**Deboning** is a specialized skill set and is not offered in every restaurant. This job requires the meat dresser to cut up the quarry or hunted animals into pieces while removing its bones.

A master level meat dresser could cut up a cow with ease and skill, a good meat dresser could also cut up a cow, but would require a change of knife every year. Some meat dressers even need to change their knives once a month. In addition, the efficiency involved was low and they would need half a day to cut up a cow.

The meat of Ferocious Beasts is delicious but their scales, skin, bones and tendons are exceptionally tough. Ordinary people would have to struggle to great lengths just to cut out a small part of it. Martial arts masters on the other hand would not be willing to lower themselves to do such a kind of job. Even if they were willing, someone who does not understand how the muscles, bone and tendons come together would not be able to do it. Using pure strength alone in the cutting up process would cause it to lose its delicious taste. Chapter 2 - Peculiar Stone
Demon God Imperial Palace

The **Demon God Imperial Palace** was a dimensional realm that had lost its pillar of support and had also been sealed up afterwards. It was hidden and isolated from the outer world, and was only accessible from the surrounding several fragmented microrealms around it.

It can be found underneath Blood Demon Island and Dark Moon Island, further underground of an ancient battlefield and sealed with a steep blood pond.

As for these ancient battlefield, it was even more ancient than the Demon Emperor. In a way, this ancient battlefield where the broken world existed was the lair of the Demon Emperor. When he had come here, he had used his formidable strength to take this realm as his own.

## Description

In the distant skies, a vague ghostly image emerged out of the blue; it was a magnificent and enormous palace. The entire Demon God Imperial Palace looked like it was a mirage, it didn’t seem as if it were real.

The giant Demon God Imperial Palace stretched out for countless miles. The palace towered high above the desert and was surrounded by numerous thick columns, each of them engraved with a multitude of totem reliefs.

### **Demon God Statue**

In the center of the Demon God Imperial palace was a massive demon god statue that held a great ax in it’s hands. This statue was over a thousand feet high and stood there, imposing. As it stood there, an ancient atmosphere naturally emanated from it, spreading out in all directions. It spread between the heavens and earth, shaking the minds of anyone who felt it.

It had to be known that this demon god statue had already stood here for tens of thousands of years.

### **Main Temple**

The main temple of the Demon God Imperial Palace occupied a swathe of land almost a hundred miles wide. Its peaks grazed the sky, and the inside was incomparably vast. This massive main temple was no different from its own mini country

The main temple door was over 200 feet high. On both sides of the large doors, there were great demon statues that were hundreds of feet tall. These statues were formed from blood-red rock, and they had long wings behind them. Their expressions were extremely ferocious and cruel.

### **Puppets**

The Imperial Palace occupied a swathe of land over hundreds of miles long. During the glory times of the Demon God Imperial Palace, there were tens and hundreds of thousands of people milling around; these people were all martial artist.

For this number of people, there were countless miscellaneous jobs that needed to be filled, all of which were done by the puppets, including guard duty and patrol duty.

Those puppets that were responsible for random daily chores had strength at the Xiantian realm. Those puppets responsible for patrolling were equal to the Revolving Core realm.

A Revolving Core master’s combat strength didn’t seem too terrifying, but their strength was not suppressed by the laws of this world. To a martial artist from the outside, they would nearly be equal to a Life Destruction powerhouse
10,000 Year Peach Pith

A 10,000 Year Peach Pith was a life extending heavenly treasure even more valuable than the Life Bestowing Heaven Pill. The Life Bestowing Heaven Pill was only useful for Life Destruction powerhouses, but the 10,000 Year Peach Pith was actually effective for Divine Sea powerhouses. This was the greatest heavenly treasure that a Holy Land influence could provide that would move the hearts of Divine Sea powerhouses.
Earth Spirit Pill

These pills were miracle cures that were respectively used by Xiantian realm and Houtian realm martial artists. These two pills were able to stabilize one’s cultivation, and could build and refine the true essence in one’s body.

This so-called strengthening one’s energy was in fact creating a more solid and stable foundation.

Pills that could stabilize one’s foundation were much more valuable than pills that could enhance one’s foundation. Every two Earth Spirit Pills were equal to a Heaven Opening Pill, and, as for the Origin Balancing Pill, every one one was much more valuable than a Heaven Opening Pill.
Asura Heavenly Array Diagram

The Asura Heavenly Array Diagram was left behind by the Asura Road Master and was formed by combining the three source energies of ‘essence, energy, and divine’. It could reform an image of the Asura Road within the body, so that the power he obtained from the Asura Road wouldn’t be suppressed and repelled by the Great Daos of the 33 Heavens. This array diagram was one of the ultimate rewards he received from the Asura Road’s Final Trial.
Chaos Demon God

## [source]

A powerful Empyrean. His chaos force field, filled with vast slaughter energy is as deep as an ocean. In the presence of his domain, horrifying pressure spread would outwards and all the light would disappear. The world would lose light and black chaos smoke would descend, like an apocalypse, a doomsday had come.

Chaos Demon God had a much more careful and subtle personality than Empyrean Myriad Ghost.

## Plot

The reason Empyrean Myriad Ghost came to enter the Akashic Dream Battlefield this time is so that he can fight with Chaos Demon God. Both of them don’t like each other to begin with, but if they fought in the real world then that would be an earth-sundering battle between two Empyreans. Moreover, if there were any wounds, those would be losses that neither side could afford! So, the two of them must have agreed to meet in the Akashic Dream Battlefield. Like this, there won’t be any problems with the two of them fighting!

The two Empyreans had originally entered the Akashic Dream Battlefield to duel each other, but their battles hadn’t been seen by anyone, nor had they gone all-out. Rather, they had only exchanged a few initial probing strikes.

However, they were both ruined by Lin Ming. One had been directly killed and the other had fled in the eyes of all present.

## Appearance

An old man in jade green, his entire body covered with chaos energy. This old man’s pupils emitted a terrifying chaotic light that shot out in all directions. His surroundings would seem hazy, emitting a thick chaos energy.
Battle Array Disc

A battle array disc has a special array formation that is used to record fights and events by martial artists.

This sort of special light array was a sort of illusory magic array. The production process for creating one of these was extremely complex. One could record the light and use it to replay the scene from the illusory magic array.

There are varying levels of these disc. At the lower levels, they can record fights of martial artists in a single disc. While the higher the level, the more one can utilize the array formation in forming images and scenes recorded or reflected by the array disc. These types of battle array discs were much more exquisite and high quality. They were able to gather up the world Laws to form massive phantom projections in the air, reflecting the surroundings around them!
Ancient God Uprising

This was an organization or a revolutionary army created by Mo Eversnow.

After using several hundred years of time from her initial entrance to the Dark Abyss to slowly establish her net of influence in the Dark Abyss and then form the Ancient God Religion.

This religion in actuality worships the glory of the ancient races from 10 billion years past. The gods of the Ancient God Religion include the Asura Road Master and the other powerhouses of the primal god race. After her efforts came to fruition, she officially created the Ancient God Uprising.

Mo Eversnow had created this Holy Land and Divine Kingdom for the ancient race slaves to give them respite, to seize their hope and former glory.

The array formations that hid them from the abyssals were all arranged by Mo Eversnow, and these array formations originated from the inheritances that she obtained.

Setting up a system of punishments and rewards, using the numerous treasures and cultivation methods she obtained from the land of inheritance as the rewards. She tried her best to inspire her subordinates to try their best to obtain merits, and at the same time using all methods at her disposal to prevent abyssal spies from infiltrating their ranks. The scale of the Ancient God Uprising has grown larger and larger, and the Demon Association can no longer turn a blind eye to them. Thus, they had grown secretive in their actions and had even migrated back to the 33 Heavens after the Dark Abyss invasion was on their way.
Asura King

## [source]

At this time, within the countless arcs of lightning in the far off distant sky, there was a group of shadows that were speaking to each other in some strange language. And, in the center of these shadows was someone that looked like a naked man with long hair hanging to his knees.

This man’s face constantly changed. Sometimes he was handsome and heroic, sometimes he was grim and fierce, sometimes he was ordinary and common, and sometimes he was ugly and grotesque. There were even times when he appeared to be like a beautiful woman or a wild beast.

This was the Asura King that was undergoing demonic tribulation. It already had an essential difference from ordinary mystic realm demons. It had condensed a body of flesh and blood, and this body seemed no different from that of a human.

His final appearance inclined to that of a young and handsome heroic youth.

But in the end he was still a mystic demon. Its entire body was covered in a thick fog of blood and it suddenly bulged out. Its face no longer had the appearance of a handsome man anymore; it now looked no different than a hideous and cruel demon.

This sort of mystic realm demon was beyond rare. In the long history of the four God Beast Clans, such a dreadful existence had only been encountered a few times. And every time this occurred, there would be a massive loss of genius disciples. At those times, the gains in this mystic realm smelting trial were definitely not equal to the losses.

## Abilities

### **Astral Quadra Dragon Formation**

This Astral Quadra Dragon Formation was one of the Ancient Dragon Clan’s Azure Dragon Faction’s array formations. The Asura King had inherited its understanding of this array formation from the previous Ancient Dragon Clan disciples it had swallowed up in the past. As a mystic realm demon, it didn’t yet have the ability to train in human cultivation methods. But, laying down array formations was possible. In particular, because of the massive amount of Azure Dragon essence within its body, learning this array formation was far easier.

The Asura King brought its hands together and these azure seals gathered in the air, forming a massive azure seal hundreds of feet large that pounded towards the enemy!

## Quotes

* (As the Asura King spoke in the common language of the Divine Realm, its voice was sharp and grating)

> “Hahaha! Well done! Wonderfully so! For you all to arrive at this step, I have really looked down on your outsiders. I thought that you were only easily obtainable food to me, but now it seems that there is finally some meaning. You have aroused my interest enough for me to personally take action!”

Cherished Kismet Star (Extreme Polar Dao Palace)

The Extreme Polar Dao Palace required two different types of energy to direct and catalyze the breakthrough. Lin Ming chose thunder and fire and in order to refine the pill required for the Extreme Polar Dao Palace, he needed an Empyrean level Thunder Source and Fire Elemental.

The third Dao Palace, the Extreme Polar Dao Palace, corresponded with the Cherished Kismet Star.
This palace was located in Lin Ming’s inner world. After opening the Extreme Polar Dao Palace, Lin Ming could guide the power of the nine stars to enter his inner world and fuse with the energy within.
And the energy within Lin Ming’s inner world was mainly thunder and fire. This was the equivalent of adding the power of a star into the power of thunder and fire.
With this, Lin Ming’s thunder and fire origin energy would rise to another level.

Destroyer of Armies Star (Purple Mansion Dao Palace)

Lin Ming looked up, his brilliant eyes locking onto one of the nine stars floating in space. Then, he leapt upwards!
Nine stars. Of them, seven were incomparably bright and two were dim. The seven bright stars corresponded to the seven Bright Palaces within the human body, and the two dark stars corresponded to the two Hidden Palaces within the human body.

The Army Breaker Star. The meaning of this was that it could freely wander the world, breaking through the lines of any army, unstoppable and irresistible!

The Purple Temple was in truth a part of a person’s dantian. When a martial artist entered the Divine Sea realm, their dantian would be replaced by an inner world, and thus the Purple Temple would also be located within the inner world.
The first level of the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace was to form a Dao Palace in one’s inner world to correspond with a star in the sky.

As time passed, the crystal nucleus of the Army Breaker Star completely decomposed in Lin Ming’s inner world, turning into shimmering starlight that formed a revolving dao diagram.
Then, starlight began to gather upon this dao diagram, using it as the foundation to build a palace!
This palace was square, with sharp corners, giving off a solemn and dignified atmosphere. At the same time, it glittered crystal clear, as if it were carved from the most luxurious jade.
This was Lin Ming’s Dao Palace. The moment that this Dao Palace finished building, it meant Lin Ming had truly broken into the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace!

The Purple Temple Dao Palace was one of the nine great Dao Palaces of the human body!
The function of this Dao Palace was to condense the power of the stars from the highest heavens. In a short period of time, it would allow the intensity of Lin Ming’s astral essence to rise by a dramatic degree! This sort of increase could be by three to four times, or even eight to nine times!
The exact number was determined by the foundation of the martial artist as well as the completeness of their Dao Palace.
This was because the origin of the Purple Temple Dao Palace’s strength didn’t come from a martial artist’s body but from starlight in the highest heavens. Thus, even if it increased strength by several times it still wouldn’t overdraw a martial artist’s potential; this was the advantage of the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace!

Crimson Gold Dragon Marrow Pill

This pill was about the size of a grape and was created by mixing a Crimson Gold Dragon’s marrow with several species of rare and precious herbs. It would then be boiled and distilled into a pill that would be able to improve the physique, enhance cultivation, and even help break through bottlenecks. The Crimson Gold Dragon was not a real dragon, it was a descendant that only shared some blood. Nevertheless, creatures that were related to dragons were not weak. Even Houtian experts would not be a match!

Without a doubt this medicine originated from the Seven Profound Valleys. Every year the Seven Profound Valleys would screen talents, and medicines were provided from the main school to attract talented youths to participate. Perhaps to the Seven Profound Valleys, the Crimson Gold Dragon Marrow Pill was not particularly precious, but to those of Sky Fortune Kingdom, it was absolutely a valuable treasure that could not be purchased by money. Even a large aristocratic family would be terribly jealous of anyone who possessed such a treasure.
Bright Luster Mystic Realm

The Bright Luster Mystic Realm was the largest mystic realm of the Bright Luster Great World. Compared to the second largest mystic realm of the Bright Luster Great World, it was at least 10 times larger.

The Bright Luster Mystic Realm had a vast and nearly limitless world within that contained countless rich resources. A significant reason for why the Bright Luster Holy Lands were able to rise to their current state was because of the Bright Luster Mystic Realm.
