Chapter Four: Love in the Underworld

From the moment I entered the palace at sixteen, I fell in love at first sight with "that person," the unparalleled "Six Paths Holy Emperor," who became the sole meaning of my life.

"That person's" eyes were like the brightest stars in the sky; when he looked at you, it seemed he could see through every thought in your heart, while you knew nothing about him. But that didn't matter, because once you'd seen him, you knew that becoming his subordinate, working for him at his behest, was the happiest thing in the world.

This feeling was like being in paradise; even ascension to heaven and the Western Paradise couldn't compare!

My fervent wish must have reached the heart of "that person." Among the hundreds of palace maids who came to pay their respects that year, he chose me at first glance. He stepped down from his noble dragon throne and stood before me, gently lifting my chin with his fingers, which were whiter and longer than a woman's, and softly asked, "What is your name?"

I heard my own voice answer, without a trace of fear, but rather a long-awaited joy.

"Reporting to the Holy Emperor, this servant is called Huang Zhen."

The Holy Emperor seemed to smile slightly, though I wasn't entirely sure, because legend had it that the Holy Emperor, the "Heavenly One," never smiled.

"Very good, Huang Zhen, from today onwards, you are my woman."

What was originally just a gathering to select the Holy Emperor's personal maid suddenly turned into a decision to appoint an empress, a position that had been vacant for a long time. However, looking at the ministers in the hall, not a single one showed any surprise. Were they already used to their master's capriciousness? Or was it that in the dynasty, the Holy Emperor's personal will was supreme?

I preferred to believe it was the latter.

From that day on, incredible good fortune descended upon me.

At first, everyone thought I was chosen by the Holy Emperor solely because of my beauty and luck, and that I would be like countless other women he had "used," ruthlessly banished to the cold palace once he grew tired of me. But they were all wrong. They didn't understand that the Emperor and I were destined to be together from birth.

As I spent more and more time by the Holy Emperor's side, my status and importance in the Six Paths Dynasty rose accordingly. The name "Holy Consort" became widely known, and no one dared to mention the name "Huang Zhen" anymore, except for one man. Being by the Emperor's side

were the happiest days of my life.

Unfortunately, this good fortune didn't last. Those lowly people disregarded the Emperor's boundless grace and rose up in rebellion against the rule of the "Six Paths Dynasty." Did these short-sighted fools not know that the Holy Emperor's abilities were far beyond what ordinary mortals like them could contend with?

Those who don't know the meaning of "regret"—my methods and those of the Holy Emperor will make these lowly people regret ever being born!

The rebel army's power, like a spark, quickly expanded to the point of raging fire. Led by Xuanwu and Yu Xuanji, the rebel forces defeated the "Celestial Dynasty's" garrison one by one, finally reaching the point of facing off against the strongest elite of the "Six Paths Realm"—the Six Paths Shikigami and the 108 Familiars!

Although the enemy's numbers far exceed ours, I have 100% confidence in our victory. The reason is simple: each Familiar has the ability to fight a hundred, each Shikigami possesses the might of an unstoppable army, and the Holy Emperor himself is an absolute guarantee of invincibility, an undefeated being! I haven't even considered the possibility of losing this battle!

I was supposed to be fighting alongside the Holy Emperor against those damned rebel armies, but before the battle began, the Emperor gave me an order I found unacceptable—he ordered me to lead a hidden force to remain in the "Inner Six Paths Temple," and not to make any moves without his permission.

I had never doubted the Emperor's orders before, but this was the only exception. Was the reason I wasn't allowed to go because the Emperor didn't trust me? Or did he not truly have confidence in winning this battle?

How could my questions escape the Emperor's eyes?

Without much explanation, he simply placed his palm gently on my forehead and said with a tenderness reserved only for me, a tenderness capable of killing: "Trust me, just like before."

Ah! Emperor, I will trust you no matter what.

Obeying the Holy Emperor's order, with a heart full of trepidation, I led a troop of elite soldiers to guard the "Inner Six Paths Temple."

The existence of this sanctuary is the greatest secret of the Six Paths Realm. Apart from the Six Paths Shikigami and myself, no one else knows of its existence. The remains of the craftsmen and workers who built this sanctuary are buried beneath it.

I feel no pity for their fate; for "inferior races" to sacrifice themselves for the great cause of the Six Paths Realm is already a blessing from their past lives.

I spent a long time waiting in the sanctuary, believing that, as before, the Holy Emperor would effortlessly annihilate the powerful invaders and return triumphantly to my side.

But I was wrong.

When the person I had been waiting for finally appeared before me, I could hardly believe that it was the invincible "Six Paths Holy Emperor"!

Covered in blood and tattered clothes, he looked like a corpse that had just crawled out of its grave, only with a breath of life left. What kind of willpower could allow this person to drag such a broken body back here?

Tears streamed down my face, tears I hadn't shed since meeting the Emperor. I rushed over and embraced him tightly. "Your Majesty... how could... who could have hurt you like this...?"

Upon seeing me, the Emperor seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing against me, his body supported only by my weight. I had never seen the Emperor weaker than he was now; even a child could have killed him.

In an incredibly weak voice, the Emperor whispered in my ear, "Don't be sad... Holy Consort... this was an ending I had planned long ago..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, I almost thought I was hallucinating! The once-powerful Six Paths Dynasty had crumbled like a house of cards, its destruction imminent—all orchestrated by the Holy Emperor himself? How could this be?

"There's not enough time... I can't explain too much... I can only say that only after great destruction can great construction begin... Holy Consort... will you still believe in me as before...?"

Tears streaming down my face, I nodded. "No matter what, Holy Consort will always follow Your Majesty!"

"Very...good...I knew I hadn't...chosen the wrong person...Come here...I'll cast the 'Eternal Soul Technique' on you now..."

I had heard the Emperor mention the mysteries of the "Eternal Soul Technique," but I never imagined that this great technique, ranked alongside "Divine Reincarnation" as one of the two great secret arts of the "Six Paths Realm," would one day befall me. With a tone of both fear and surprise, I said, "But...Emperor...if you truly pass away, then I will lose the meaning of continuing to live in this world. Immortality will be a torment more cruel than any punishment for me. Please don't do this to me, who loves you the most. Please let my soul rest in peace with you!" In

truth, at that time, from any perspective, the Holy Emperor and the entire "Six Paths Realm" seemed utterly hopeless. The so-called preordained arrangement—I even thought it was just an excuse the Emperor used to comfort me. Despite how unwilling I was to admit it, I ultimately had to accept the cruel reality of the Emperor's failure.

The Holy Emperor seemed to have known I would answer this way; beneath the bloodstains, his expression held a mysterious smile I couldn't comprehend.

"I knew you'd say that... but if you really did that, my death would be meaningless. Today's failure is merely a necessary step on my path to success. Have you forgotten that every shikigami possesses the 'divine rebirth' technique? Death is meaningless to me, and to become the ultimate and strongest king, I must undergo the cycle of rebirth. That's why I suffered this defeat today..."

"Could it be... could it all be... because of you, Your Majesty...?"

"Heh... My funeral must be of the utmost honor and grandeur. What could be more suitable as my burial offering than hundreds of thousands of lives?"

The Holy Emperor, who had been struggling to speak, suddenly became energetic, and a hint of color returned to his deathly pale face. But this was merely a fleeting moment before his death, a fact we both understood.

Although I was already used to the various thoughts in the Emperor's mind, this time, I could only describe his actions as "madness"...

Even so, I would unconditionally and wholeheartedly support his decision! The reason is simple: he is the only man I have ever truly loved in this world…

“Abandoning the physical body and undergoing rebirth through the six realms of reincarnation as a soul is, of course, fraught with danger, and the process takes an extremely long time. Therefore, I need someone I can completely trust to protect me throughout the long years. Do you understand my intention, my beloved?”

"Understood. Whether it's ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years, my loyalty to the Emperor will never change. Please, Your Majesty, cast the 'Eternal Soul Technique' on me now!"

The Holy Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "I know you won't disappoint me. Listen carefully... The 'Eternal Soul Technique' I'm about to cast on you will extend your lifespan tenfold compared to ordinary people. After I'm gone, you will inherit the position of the 'Hell Path' shikigami. After thirty years, you can begin searching for the reincarnation successors of other shikigami. When the five great shikigami reunite, my reincarnated spirit child should also appear at the same time. Then, in the Six Paths Holy Temple, I can meet you again."

Hearing these words, my tears fell uncontrollably like broken pearls. In truth, no matter what grand ambitions or immortality I desired, they held no meaning for me. What

I truly wanted was simply to be with this man forever.

"I understand! Until the appointed day of destiny arrives, I swear to you that I, as a shikigami of the Hell Path, will shoulder the great cause of the revival of the entire Six Paths Realm, until you return... Emperor, my love."

"My love... I will love you forever..."

Over three hundred years of accumulated memories, over three hundred years of accumulated longing, at the moment Huang Quan's body turned to dust and scattered with the wind, were conveyed in a "spiritual message" that everyone present could vaguely feel.

This unwavering love, regardless of how it was presented, or whether the means she used to express it were right or wrong, can perhaps be described as "great" in terms of Huang Zhen—Huang Quan's love for the Holy Emperor.

However, this great love, in the end, could only end in regret. The regret of being shattered before the moment when one thought their dream had come true is the deepest and greatest regret!

The "culprit" behind this tragedy—Ni Tianxie—still wore an inscrutable smile, gazing thoughtfully at Huang Quan's belongings on the ground, yet devoid of any trace of sadness or regret.

If Ni Tianxie was truly the Holy Emperor, why would he kill Huang Quan?

If he wasn't the Holy Emperor, how could he unleash the "Six Paths Divine Descent" and the "Eternal Soul Technique," techniques known only to the Holy Emperor?

What exactly happened?

"Poor woman… in the end, she didn't even know that her long wait of over three hundred years was all for naught."

Speaking casually, Ni Tianxie acted as if he had done something utterly insignificant, smiling faintly as he turned his gaze back to the three people in the tense arena.

"What's wrong...? Seeing your 'mother,' who gave you a second life, die, even a shikigami who has abandoned human emotions feels reluctance and anger?"

"Don't compare us to boring mortals," Rakshasa said coldly, "but I really want to know, why do you insist on killing Huang Quan?"

Before Ni Tianxie could answer, Mo Zhi spoke up, "Because he is not the real Holy Emperor."

Ni Tianxie chuckled dryly and tossed his hair, saying, "No wonder Master Yun once said that among the six shikigami, only the 'Animal Path' Mo Zhi's wisdom was no less than his. It's truly well-deserved."

Before anyone could voice their questions, he continued, "However! Uncle Mo, your statement is only half right, because I am both the Holy Emperor and not the Holy Emperor."

This was the second time Ni Tianxie had mentioned his ambiguous relationship with the Holy Emperor, but this muddled statement only left the listeners more confused.

Fortunately, the person involved seemed unwilling to continue playing coy. He pointed to his chest and smiled, saying, "The Holy Emperor you're looking for is inside me, that's for sure."

This statement was more like a Zen riddle, leaving everyone completely baffled. However, for Mo Zhi, who had a deep understanding of both medicine and reincarnation, it was like a key to unlocking the mystery, guiding him to the truth.

"Could it be... that the Holy Emperor's reincarnated spirit was absorbed by you instead?!"

Ni Tianxie looked at Mo Zhi and grinned, "You're right, that's exactly it."

Ni Tianxie's words were like a boulder thrown into calm water, creating ripples and shattering the beliefs that the three shikigami had held for years. Ni Tianxie

looked up, a thoughtful expression on his face, his eyes like some kind of divine miracle that transcended time and space.

"Where should I begin? My relationship with the Holy Emperor... perhaps it should start from the moment I was born! From the moment I became conscious, I knew that another 'outsider' resided within me, and this 'outsider' was filled with hostility towards me. I believed that given the chance, he would not hesitate to completely eliminate me!"

"At that time, as a young child, I had no idea of the 'outsider's' identity, nor did I know why he shared a body with me. I only knew that his consciousness, filled with domineering, noble, resentful, disdainful, and ruthless nature, inevitably flowed into my sea of consciousness, even though he did not intend to share it with me. This allowed me, who was not even three years old at the time, to have many insights beyond those of adults." "

And in the process of sharing the 'outsider's' consciousness, I gradually figured out his identity and learned that he was the 'Six Paths Holy Emperor,' who was known as invincible more than three hundred years ago! And he also gradually explored the environment and era I was in through my five senses and six consciousnesses."

"Although we are one body with two hearts, our consciousnesses communicate with each other. The Holy Emperor makes no secret of his disgust and contempt for me. If it weren't for the fact that his original body consumed too much spiritual power during the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I would never have been able to coexist with him. Instead, I would have been completely destroyed the moment he was born into this body. To him, I was just an unplanned product, a stumbling block that would be eliminated sooner or later. At that time, I was not even three years old, yet I lived every day under the shadow of death!"

"Because of this 'hidden worry,' before the age of ten, I appeared to others as a freak devoid of feelings, without joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness! Heaven knows that it was because the Holy Emperor and my soul were locked in a tug-of-war within our bodies. When his consciousness gained dominance, he disdained to communicate with the outside world; while when my consciousness took the initiative, I had no interest in getting involved with others, because speaking out would only make me seem like a madman!"

"This period of split personality finally took a turn for the better when I was ten years old. Sensing the unique residual spiritual power of the Holy Emperor within me, the 'Humanity' shikigami, Yun Fuyue, infiltrated the 'Mingyue Gate' and implanted a fragment of the 'Heavenly Dao' Holy Pearl into my body. The Holy Emperor was overjoyed to receive the return of his original power! He hurriedly tried to regain control of his consciousness and rushed 'outside,' opening his six senses to prepare to receive the power of the Heavenly Dao."

A cold, extremely ironic smile suddenly appeared on Ni Tianxie's face.

"Unfortunately, he never expected that what he thought would get rid of me, this superfluous 'parasite,' and welcome the arrival of a complete soul through the divine power of the Heavenly Dao would ultimately become the last rivet nailed to his coffin."

Chapter Five: The Truth Revealed

The truth is always more bizarre than fiction, and reality is often more cruel than imagination! The fact that Ni Tianxie was slowly recounting this historical mystery that had lasted for over three hundred years gave the three shikigami present a shared feeling.

Even now, the relationship between Ni Tianxie and the Holy Emperor remains shrouded in mystery. However, they know that the truth Ni Tianxie is about to reveal will be more bizarre and shocking than any legend, and will directly impact their future lives!

"You're saying that Yun Fuyue implanted a fragment of the 'Heavenly Dao' Holy Pearl into your body, which ironically led to the Holy Emperor's demise? Is that what you mean?"

The only one present who could understand Ni Tianxie's implied meaning was probably the "Beast Path" shikigami, Mo Zhi. Originally, besides him, Huang Quan and Yun Fuyue were also qualified to question Ni Tianxie, but unfortunately, they had both died at his hands.

Ni Tianxie smiled and said, "That's right. When the Holy Emperor began absorbing the remaining Heavenly Dao divine power he had poured into the Holy Pearl before his death, intending to regain control of his body in one fell swoop, something unexpected happened. Perhaps the holy energy remaining in the Holy Pearl underwent a qualitative change over time, or perhaps it was the rejection caused by the presence of me, this 'foreign object,' in his body... In short, the Holy Emperor's absorption of the Holy Pearl's divine power was not as smooth as he had imagined, and he almost went mad!"

"Perhaps the Holy Emperor, in his incomplete state, was unable to control the vast Heavenly Dao divine power. However, at that time, I had no time to gloat, because as one with the Holy Emperor, I could not avoid the tragic fate of living and dying with him."

"The rampaging Heavenly Dao divine power filled my body like an inflated balloon, which could burst at any moment. Even if the Holy Emperor, after fully recovering his power, truly possessed the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, he was powerless in the face of the desperate situation before him. If this continued, we would only perish together."

"Fortunately, at that moment, my mother... Yu Baixue and my sister Jun Tianjiao, worried about Yun Fuyue's actions, came to spy outside the training room. When I saw my mother, all the desire, infatuation, and hatred I had hidden in my heart for her surged up at once. It was a byproduct of her years of using the 'Heart Cleansing Talisman' to transform my mind. At that time, I, a young child, suddenly had a terrible thought: since I was going to die anyway, at least I should let this woman taste the retribution she had given me before I died!"

"My thoughts were naturally received by the Holy Emperor, who was beset by internal and external troubles at the time. But unexpectedly, the subordinate relationship that had always been one of guest being stronger than host was reversed at this moment. I felt like I was riding a steed that understood my heart but was absolutely obedient to its master's commands, and the Holy Emperor was that steed!"

"Almost as soon as the thought arose, my body moved with extraordinary speed, subduing my mother and sister. At that time, I already possessed nearly 30% of the power of the Holy Emperor at his peak. In a fight, my mother was no match for me; she was defeated in a single exchange. What followed was like a scene from a nightmare. I actually raped my mother and sister with violence! Although I vaguely sensed that this was a method the Holy Emperor used to release excess true energy, I was so engrossed in the joy of revenge and the strange pleasure that I was unwilling and unable to stop it!" —Against

the Heavens Ignoring the astonished and bewildered looks of the crowd, she continued, "Even now, I have never regretted my decision that day. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be who I am today! When the Holy Emperor used my body to vent his pent-up lust of three hundred years, for some unknown reason, his control gradually slipped away. My consciousness, like paint poured into water, slowly invaded his consciousness and absorbed it at the same time. Throughout the entire process, I never thought of dominating or controlling anything. I was simply pushed along by an irresistible karmic force, as naturally as the changing of the seasons."

"When the Holy Emperor finally realized his precarious situation and tried to stop it from worsening, it was too late! The power imbalance had reversed, and he was powerless to repel my invasion and absorption. He could only watch helplessly as his consciousness gradually weakened and faded—something he hadn't anticipated."

"Pain, struggle, resentment, fear… these negative emotions born from facing destruction flooded my mind like a sudden awakening. I felt as if I were being thoroughly cleansed, undergoing a radical transformation of my thinking…"

"Just before the Holy Emperor faced complete annihilation, my father… Jun Nitian—he happened to return at that moment. The Holy Emperor, still retaining a sliver of self-awareness, immediately shifted his attack to Jun Nitian, intending to drag me down with him!"

"Unfortunately, he could only unleash about 40% of his power at that time, thanks to my young body. Naturally, he was no match for Jun Nitian and was subdued in less than ten moves. Huang Quan should have told you what happened next, right? Everyone present that day, including Yun Fuyue and Jun Nitian, thought that I was affected by the 'Heart Cleansing Talisman' and had gone mad, which was why I acted abnormally. So, at Jun Nitian's suggestion, the three of them decided to join forces to erase my memories. Little did they know that this action would benefit me but cause great suffering to the Holy Emperor. Even his last bit of remaining spiritual power was suppressed by the three of them and he was left with no chance to recover, only to be absorbed by me!"

"That's the whole story. Although the Holy Emperor's spiritual power can no longer threaten me, absorbing and digesting knowledge and abilities from over three hundred years ago is an extremely difficult and lengthy process. In order to completely integrate everything about the Holy Emperor into my own use, I had to transfer my consciousness deep into my mind and create two other personalities to protect this 'soul container' in my place. These are Jun Tianxie and Yu Tianxie, as you know them."

"The twists and turns of this story are incredibly profound, so to avoid any confusion, I'll summarize it in simpler terms. In other words, the reincarnated Holy Emperor's soul originally chose my body as the vessel for his resurrection, but unexpectedly, he suffered a double loss, transferring all his cultivation and spiritual power to me, becoming a part of my body! The 'Holy Emperor' died, and 'Tianxie' was born. Perhaps the Holy Emperor is living on in another way, continuing his life, though not necessarily in the way he intended when he planned his reincarnation."

After saying this, Ni Tianxie spread his arms and smiled at everyone, "I've finished. Is there anything you don't understand?"

His question left everyone speechless. The combined surprises and astonishments of the three shikigami's entire lives probably didn't compare to the shock and disbelief they'd experienced today. Their minds were filled with indigestible information and shock, like a long rope with knots everywhere, impossible to untangle.

After a long, long time, it was Mo Zhi in white who was the first to emerge from the chaos and said in a deep voice, "Since you have already taken everything of the Holy Emperor for yourself, why did you have to kill the Holy Consort Huang Quan?"

Ni Tianxie smiled faintly and said, "Because that was the Holy Emperor's last wish. As I gradually absorbed the Holy Emperor's remaining consciousness, I discovered that what he cared about most was this woman named Huang Zhen. Since I've sent her to her death, I might as well go all the way and let her reunite with the Holy Emperor in another world, wouldn't that be better?"

Luosha said coldly, "That sounds nice! Actually, you're afraid of Huang Quan's revenge, aren't you? Given Huang Quan's devotion to the Holy Emperor, she definitely can't accept the fact that you absorbed the Holy Emperor's soul. You know there's absolutely no way you can take her for yourself, so you simply decided to eliminate her completely!"

Ni Tianxie laughed arrogantly, "Do I need to do this? Whatever you think, Huang Quan's death is an unchangeable fact. There's no point in pursuing the past of the dead. The living have their own things to do... You!" He pointed at Luocha, Mozhi, and Naraku, saying, "From now on, follow me!"

"Follow you? "

Ni Tianxie nodded, "Of course. In a sense, I am still the 'Six Paths Holy Emperor'! The one you swore to serve when you were reincarnated in the Six Paths. The difference is that I, the Holy Emperor, am more reasonable and powerful. I have no interest in the Six Paths' idea that only by exterminating all living beings can one be cleansed and reborn. What I want is to rule the entire world! To rule the ignorant masses, not to destroy them!"

Ni Tianxie's palm was facing upwards, his five fingers loosely clenched. At this moment, the domineering aura emanating from him was very similar to that of his father, Jun Nitian.

"I will rule the world! Those who submit to me live, those who defy me perish!"

Seeing Ni Tianxie's impassioned and arrogant demeanor, the three were secretly alarmed. Although they retained the knowledge and martial arts of their original shikigami after their Six Paths Reincarnation

, they lacked the fervor and conviction of their former selves. They were only half-believing in the doctrine of "rebirth after world-ending destruction," or even outwardly complying while inwardly defying it. In the end, among the five shikigami, only Huang Quan consistently upheld the rules of the Six Paths Realm.

But since they were born as part of the Six Paths Realm, they had to abide by the laws of the Six Paths Reincarnation, otherwise they would fall into the Avici Hell after death, never to be reborn!

However, the nightmare they had always feared most—the myth of the "Rebirth of the Holy Emperor"—was shattered today by Ni Tianxie. It turned out that the "Heavenly Dao" Holy Emperor, whom they had always respected and feared the most, had silently "died" within Ni Tianxie's body seven years ago. This unknown, humiliating, and unexpected disappearance was a tremendous irony for the once invincible Six Paths Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor being replaced by the Heaven-Defying Evil was unbelievable to them, but not unacceptable; in some ways, it was even a better choice. At least they didn't have to fight against everyone in the world, including pregnant women, the elderly, and infants, or even kill them!

As Six Paths Shikigami, they weren't afraid of killing, but meaningless indiscriminate slaughter was not their wish.

However, to expect them to so easily join the Heaven-Defying Evil's ranks would be to underestimate the pride of the Six Paths Shikigami.

"Hahahaha..."

Rakshasa suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly. The usually cold and deep Rakshasa had such a wild and unrestrained moment, drawing sidelong glances from his two colleagues, who simultaneously felt a sense of foreboding.

"Who would have thought that the so-called invincible Heavenly Emperor would fall into the hands of a mere brat! It seems that the great doctrines of immortality and world-ending rebirth were nothing but the ramblings of an old madman!"

Rakshasa, with one hand on his red bangs and laughing wildly, seemed to be releasing years of pent-up frustration. He laughed until his whole body trembled, and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Ni Tianxie had been smiling at Rakshasa's unusual behavior, but he couldn't wait any longer for the latter to continue laughing so incessantly. He frowned and asked, "Have you laughed enough?"

Ni Tianxie's voice wasn't particularly loud or forceful, but it was like a nail piercing hard stone, or a knife cutting off a flowing river, instantly severing Rakshasa's laughter. Although the two hadn't officially fought, the difference in their skill was already obvious.

Rakshasa placed one hand on her left eye, which was covered by bangs, and looked at Ni Tianxie with her icy right eye, coldly saying, "Do you think I shouldn't laugh?"

Ni Tianxie said calmly, "How long you laugh is your prerogative... but only after you answer my question."

"You want us to submit to you?"

"That's your mission as shikigami," Ni Tianxie shrugged, "Making a request is just a sign of respect for you, and since I've made it so clear, you should know what the consequences will be if you refuse me, right?"

"Is it that 'those who obey me live, those who defy me die' thing again?" Rakshasa sneered, "In that case, what's the difference between you and the Holy Emperor?"

"What's the difference? You're the same as everyone else, 'you don't need to know'!" Ni Tianxie said, "My patience is limited, what's your answer, Rakshasa?"

"The answer is 'no'!" Rakshasa said resolutely, "Although I have no goodwill towards Huang Quan, in a way, she has always been kind to us, and I should avenge her! Besides... I have no interest in any world-destroying doctrines or world domination. What I really want is to fight the strongest masters and find the meaning and joy of life in a life-or-death duel! Since you have inherited all the knowledge and martial arts of the Six Paths Holy Emperor, how could I let go of such a good opponent?"

"Hmm, indeed, that's what a martial arts fanatic would say..." Ni Tianxie crossed his arms, nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to the other two: "What about you two? Are you also going to defy my Heavenly Dao like 'Shura'?"

Mo Zhi remained silent, but Naraku smiled gently and said in a voice more charming than a woman's: "Holy Emperor, you should save this question for after your battle with Rakshasa!"

"As expected of the most cunning of the Six Paths, the 'Hungry Ghost Path'," Ni Tianxie smiled. "In the battle just now, the three of you didn't use your full strength, and Huang Quan was killed by me unexpectedly. I suppose you three still have some doubts about my true strength, right?... Very well, I'll use the 'Asura,' known as the most valiant and skilled warrior among the Six Paths, as a test, and let you see the true strength of the 'Heavenly Path'!"

Rakshasa let out a long roar and shouted, "My 'Asura' Path is inherently a path against Heaven! If I am not tolerated by Heaven, then I will kill Heaven to become an Asura!"

Ni Tianxie stretched out his five fingers and pointed them at Rakshasa from afar, smiling slightly. "Before the 'Heavenly Power,' the Asura's karma is merely an insignificant obsession." Rakshasa

let out a mournful cry, and for some reason, an indescribable sadness suddenly appeared on his resolute and cold profile. Then, he transformed into a red shadow and pounced on Ni Tianxie with unparalleled force.

A battle between the "Heavenly Path" and the "Asura Path" shikigami is imminent!

Chapter Six: Sword Pierces the Void.

Rakshasa's usually suffocatingly cold eyes, for once, gleamed with a hint of fanaticism.

This fanaticism stemmed from the fact that he had finally found an opponent worthy of igniting his life's flame!

To fight against the "Heavenly Path" was a victory even in death!

Rakshasa's attack arrived before he did! His fists moved like phantoms, appearing in front and then suddenly behind; you had no idea where he would land or where to defend.

This lightning-fast attack was typical of the Asura Path shikigami's fighting style. Other masters would likely be overwhelmed, but Ni Tianxie was different. Having inherited all the martial arts knowledge of the "Six Paths Holy Emperor" within his mind, he knew exactly how to handle such a situation. With

the "Sword of Eternity" unleashed, all martial arts in the world were rendered powerless before him!

"Everything is very...!"

As a deep, thunderous groan escaped Ni Tianxie's lips, followed by a flick of his fingers, Luocha felt as if the space around him had collapsed, transforming into countless invisible yet tangible swords that fell like snowflakes and rain, instantly enveloping his entire body!

Back when Luocha fought Jun Tianxie, Ni Tianxie, then known as the "Third Heavenly Evil," had used this "Sword of Eternity" opening move to severely injure Luocha in a single strike! Now, times have changed, and Luocha no longer has the leisure to hold back. Ni Tianxie is no longer the same as before. Facing the Eternal Sword Qi that the "Six Paths Holy Emperor" wielded over the universe more than three hundred years ago, can Luocha withstand it?

As soon as the "Sword of Eternity" was unleashed, the space within five zhang of Rakshasa transformed into invisible sword energy. Its deadly sharpness seemed omnipresent, as if the entire world itself was like that. The world was vast, yet Rakshasa had nowhere to escape!

Faced with this "Sword of Eternity" that transcended the common sense of martial arts, even the "Asura" shikigami, known as the most "combat-savvy" among the Six Paths of Reincarnation, had to be on high alert.

Rakshasa's arms were bulging with power, and he roared, "Good! This move, 'Everything is Extraordinary,' is twice as powerful as when we first met, but the same move is useless against 'Asura.' Watch me break you!"

Rakshasa's arms swung, transforming into a thousand phantom hands, some fists, some palms, some fingers, some claws, all chaotic and wild like a raging fire, meeting the boundless sword energy. In an instant, a dense, rain-like explosion of shockwaves erupted. In just a few blinks of an eye, the two had exchanged thousands of blows.

"Asura Thousand Hands Break!" With a loud shout, Rakshasa, like a thousand-armed Asura, actually shattered the sword curtain, but at a great cost, his body was covered in countless wounds.

Seeing this, Ni Tianxie laughed and said, "Good! As expected of the so-called strongest 'Asura' path among the six paths, you actually managed to break the first move of my Eternal Sword!"

Rakshasa said in a deep voice, "You are not bad either. This is the first time in my life that I have felt the threat of death, but it is still not enough."

"Want to die? That's easy!" Ni Tianxie stepped forward and said, "I can grant your wish immediately." "

I couldn't ask for more!"

Rakshasa shouted, his figure moved again, and he flashed behind Ni Tianxie as if he had teleported. His claws reached out and grabbed Ni Tianxie's shoulder bones.

"Asura Heaven-Splitting Break!"

Rakshasa's claws could tear apart a bronze steel pillar with a diameter of about a foot, but this time, when he grabbed Ni Tianxie's back, it was as if he was grabbing empty air and had no force. No matter how hard he tried, he gained nothing.

Ni Tianxie smiled casually, "Offending the Heavenly Dao's sacred body, do you know the price you'll pay?"

Suddenly, Rakshasa felt Ni Tianxie's body solidify, then sprout countless "sword thorns" like a hedgehog. Rakshasa couldn't dodge in time; in an instant, her body felt as if she'd been stabbed hundreds of times, blood splattering everywhere.

Rakshasa endured the excruciating pain, turned, and kicked out with the power of wind and thunder, like an eagle swooping down, yet possessing the force of collapsing rocks and shattering clouds.

Ni Tianxie laughed, "Heh... worthy of being called 'War Demon' Rakshasa! Commendable fighting spirit, let's play a few more rounds!"

Ni Tianxie's palms swirled and danced, creating a shield of energy to repel Rakshasa's kicks. Rakshasa unleashed over a hundred rapid kicks, but none could cross the line!

The fighting spirit of the "Asura Path" shikigami is second to none among the Six Paths. Despite being repeatedly suppressed by Ni Tianxie since the start of the battle, Rakshasa is not discouraged. With a loud shout, she changed her move and attacked again, her fist like a cannonball aimed straight at Ni Tianxie's face, wanting to force her opponent to fight her with the simplest and most direct attack!

"Kidu Rahu. Overlord Roar!"

Ni Tianxie's relaxed expression finally revealed a hint of focus. He raised his palm and pushed, a vast true energy pressing back against Rakshasa. The two's fists and palms collided, but no sound was produced. Instead, they seemed to be stuck in the void, motionless. However, from Ni Tianxie's leisurely smile and Rakshasa's increasingly serious expression, it was clear that the battle was unfavorable to them.

Mo Zhi and Nai Luo watched the battle from the sidelines, their surprise equally matched.

They originally thought that even if Ni Tianxie inherited all the martial arts knowledge of the Six Paths Holy Emperor, his internal energy cultivation would not be able to achieve a leap forward. Therefore, Luocha's tactic of forcing Ni Tianxie into a direct confrontation was the only way out in this situation. However, they did not expect that Ni Tianxie's internal energy was also so profound! Could it be a benefit obtained from the "Six Paths Holy Pearl"?

Ni Tianxie raised an eyebrow, and Luocha felt an extremely powerful true energy pouring into his arm, which was unstoppable and almost beyond human resistance. The true energy gradually spread from the point of contact between his fist and the body, eventually enveloping his entire body.

Ni Tianxie smiled and said, "This is your last chance. Agree to submit to my 'Heavenly Dao,' and I may spare your life."

"Dream on!"

"Stubborn to the end, then don't blame me."

Ni Tianxie released his internal energy, and Luocha felt his body, spirit, and consciousness being bombarded like an explosive. With a "whoosh," he spat out a large amount of blood and flew away.

"Rakshasa!"

"Shura!"

Amidst the concerned calls of his two colleagues, Rakshasa's tattered body spun in the air, managing to stop abruptly before landing on the ground. He immediately knelt on one knee, still swaying precariously, a testament to the severity of his injuries.

Ni Tianxie smiled faintly, "You can still stand? As expected of 'War Demon' Rakshasa. But you should be well aware of the difference in strength between us. Do you still want to struggle?"

Rakshasa stood up unsteadily, his head bowed. Despite the unimaginable severity of his injuries, the fighting spirit in his eyes still burned fiercely.

"I... am not dead... I have not been defeated..."

Mo Zhi finally showed a hint of pity on his face, stepping forward and shouting, "Enough! Rakshasa, don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hand landed on his shoulder, stopping him from further action and words. Mo Zhi turned to look at Naraku's excessively handsome face.

Naraku shook his head and said, "Stopping him is useless. You should know Rakshasa's personality."

Mo Zhi gritted his teeth and pondered for a while, looking at Rakshasa's lonely and proud figure, and finally could only sigh deeply.

Rakshasa ignored the actions of his two companions. In fact, he couldn't care less about anyone or anything except Ni Tianxie.

"The power of the Heavenly Dao is indeed vast, profound, and unfathomable. I, Rakshasa, have learned my lesson today."

Ni Tianxie looked at Rakshasa and said, "It's alright. I know you still have hidden trump cards to reveal. If

you don't want to leave with regrets, then show me your true strength!" Rakshasa closed his eyes, and his ferocious and cold aura vanished in an instant. Then, his entire being gradually transformed into a transcendent and detached demeanor: "I would do the same without you telling me."

Ni Tianxie smiled as he watched Rakshasa's aura change, raising an eyebrow and saying, "So you have already glimpsed the 'Ultimate' realm. No wonder you are confident in challenging me head-on."

Naraku and Mo Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "Ultimate?!"

When martial arts cultivation advances from the "Supreme Six Senses" to the seventh sense, the "Manas Consciousness," one possesses the power of a "Celestial Being." The next level beyond the seventh sense is the "Alaya Consciousness," also known as the "Ultimate," where "oneself is the universe!" The "Ultimate" realm is the "last step" before a person transcends to become a god, an immortal, or a saint.

Before their final battles, "Yanhuang" Jun Nitian and "Tianjian Juedao" Ding Chenyi had already grasped the mysteries of "Alaya Consciousness," and in their peak battles, they broke through the ultimate level, reaching the realm of ascension in broad daylight.

"Tianwang" Di Shitian, after mastering "Nine Yang Ultimate" in seclusion, and "Ksitigarbha" Mo Tuofo, in his final, desperate strike, also reached the "Ultimate" level! Besides these, there are no more than five people in the world who can reach the "Ultimate" realm.

Rakshasa, his expression neither joy nor sorrow, looked at Ni Tianxie with a deep understanding and said, "You can see my 'Ultimate' at a glance, which only proves one thing: you also possess the same cultivation."

Ni Tianxie smiled and nodded, "Of course, the Holy Emperor within me mastered the mysteries of 'Ultimate' four hundred years ago."

"Since I mastered Ultimate, I have never used this absolute destructive power in front of others..."

Rakshasa Shenma clenched his fist, and lightning suddenly snaked around him. The shattered crystal fragments on the ground defied the laws of physics, slowly floating upwards before exploding into dust as if compressed by an invisible force.

"Originally, I only intended to show the power of this punch to two people: the reincarnated Holy Emperor and 'Yama King' Jun Nitian. Now, using it against you, who has combined the best of both of them, is perfect." Nitian

Xie smiled silently, but a dazzling emerald light gradually emanated from his Baihui acupoint on the top of his head. The emerald light slowly spread from head to toe, gradually enveloping his entire body like an invisible armor as he faced Rakshasa.

Upon seeing this, Mo Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "Heavenly Dao Sacred Armor?!"

Tian Xie smiled and said, "As expected of the 'Heavenly Physician' Mo Zhi, highly praised by my late master Yun Fuyue, you can actually recognize this as the 'Heavenly Dao Sacred Armor' that the Six Paths Holy Emperor was known for his indestructible body! You should also know that this armor is beyond human power to break through. Now you should believe that I am the reincarnation of the Holy Emperor, right?"

Mo Zhi secretly lamented for Rakshasa. The ultimate realm combined with the indestructible body, the strongest spear and the strongest shield perfectly combined, Rakshasa had no chance of winning at all.

--Rakshasa! Stop fighting, you can't win!

Rakshasa, of course, couldn't hear Mo Zhi's inner cry, but even if he could, it wouldn't change his will to fight a spectacular battle.

"Asura Ultimate Break!"

Rakshasa roared, his figure drawing a red lightning bolt in the air, his fist force like a thousand waves crashing down on Ni Tian Xie. This move had no moves, variations, or follow-up attacks; it was purely an expression of his state of mind and a punch driven by the burning of his soul fire! Therefore, this punch had no flaws, no room for dodge, and no way to defend against it.

Faced with the overwhelming force of the "ultimate," only by responding with the same "ultimate" move could one survive!

"Good... Rakshasa, you are qualified to receive the third form of the Holy Emperor's Eternal Sword that I obtained from the Six Paths Sacred Pearl... Sword Breaks the Void!" Ni

Tianxie's jade-like hands clasped together and then separated, as if an extremely intense lightning bolt had lit up in mid-air. Sword energy soared into the sky, and Ni Tianxie himself seemed to transform into a giant sword reaching the heavens. The entire space seemed to be split in two by the power of this sword. This was Ni Tianxie's third form of the Eternal Sword—Sword Breaks the Void—as he had reached the "ultimate" realm!

A clash of "ultimate" moves! Following Jun Nitian and Ding Chenyi, and Di Shitian and Mo Tuofo, it finally reappeared in the hands of Ni Tianxie and Rakshasa!

"Boom!"

An incomparably powerful burst of true energy erupted at the center of the Six Paths Holy Temple, like the most violent sandstorm threatening to engulf everything. Even Mo Zhi and Naraku, watching from the sidelines, had to exert tremendous effort to survive this storm, their astonishment beyond words.

"Too...too terrifying! Is this human power...?"

The century-old Holy Temple was shaken to the brink of collapse by this thunderous attack. Amidst the swirling dust, the battle was already decided.

The ultimate struggle between the "Heavenly Path" and the "Asura Path" had ultimately ended, with Rakshasa no match for the Heavenly Evil who possessed the complete power of a Holy Emperor!

Rakshasa's entire body seemed like a tattered blood bag, blood gushing endlessly from all sides. The reason he could still withstand the Heavenly Evil was entirely due to his unwavering will, which transcended his physical body—an "Asura" is an "Asura," and even in death, he would not kneel before others!

Rakshasa laughed bitterly, "Good...you really are powerful! You...you've won!"

Ni Tianxie stood expressionless, his hands hanging limply at his sides, his calm voice revealing no inner thoughts. He said, "The strong lose, the stronger win—that's the ultimate truth of the martial world. What else do you have to say?"

Rakshasa said frankly, "Nothing...I have to say. I only hope you can give me a...quitous end..."

Ni Tianxie nodded, "As expected of the proud Asura path. I will grant your wish and give you the fate a martial artist deserves."

With that, Ni Tianxie pointed a sword finger at Rakshasa. Mo Zhi and Naraku couldn't stop him in time and could only watch helplessly as Rakshasa's middle finger struck!

Suddenly

, Rakshasa felt a comfortable warm current flow from his middle finger. The force of the finger sealed his blood and replenished his meridians, actually pulling him back from the brink of death. Although his injuries weren't fully healed, at least his life was saved.

Rakshasa looked at Ni Tianxie with a humiliated expression, her voice filled with suppressed anger: "Why did you save me?"

Ni Tianxie smiled slightly: "It would be a great pity for a martial artist like you, who upholds the spirit of martial arts, to die like this. Considering your courage to challenge me head-on, I'm setting you free. From today onwards, you are no longer a 'Shura Path' shikigami of the Six Paths Realm. Take care of yourself!"

Ni Tianxie's answer was completely unexpected. No one had anticipated such a magnanimous punishment from him, a stark contrast to the image of the "Six Paths Holy Emperor" they had heard about.

Could it be that Ni Tianxie wasn't truly the reincarnation of the Holy Emperor, but rather, as he claimed, had usurped the Holy Emperor's spiritual power?

Rakshasa coldly said, "Even if you save me, don't expect me to be grateful. Asura is forever defying the heavens! I'm unwilling to be anyone's dog again..."

Ni Tianxie laughed, "Heh, that's precisely why I'm willing to let you go. Seeing you is like seeing an avatar I once created. He too defied the heavens, but later he discovered that even he couldn't escape fate."

Ni Tianxie was naturally referring to "Jun Tianxie," but the deeper meaning was something he couldn't explain to outsiders.

Rakshasa said, "You let me go today, but that can't stop me from being your enemy one day."

Ni Tianxie nodded, "That's fine too. If you look around the world and have no rivals, wouldn't life be too lonely? Do what you want to do! But next time we face each other, I won't show mercy."

A strange look flashed in Rakshasa's deep eyes, but it vanished in an instant. He turned and left the temple without looking back, without saying another word.

Ni Tianxie smiled and watched Rakshasa leave, seemingly having no intention of stopping him. After a moment, he turned to Mo Zhi and Naraku and asked, "Rakshasa is gone. What are your decisions?"

Before Naraku could respond, Mo Zhi stepped forward and looked at Ni Tianxie, saying in a deep voice, "You just said you wouldn't continue the Holy Emperor's 'destruction and rebirth' plan?"

Ni Tianxie laughed and said, "Of course. I only inherited the Holy Emperor's martial arts, not his insane thoughts. Why would I kill everyone who isn't from the Six Paths Realm? What benefit would that bring me? I only want to rule, not destroy."

"If what you say is true, then..." Mo Zhi suddenly knelt on one knee, bowing his head and saying, "'Animal Path' shikigami Mo Zhi is willing to pledge allegiance to the newly born Holy Emperor, Ni Tianxie."

Naraku was clearly not expected that Mo Zhi would be the first to pledge allegiance. He was slightly taken aback, then made a decision and knelt down as well, saying, "'Hungry Ghost Path' shikigami Naraku is willing to unconditionally follow the Holy Emperor Tianxie and never break his oath!"

With the two shikigami pledging allegiance one after another, although the "Hell" and "Asura" paths could not be brought under his banner, with "Heavenly Physician" Mo Zhi and Naraku, who possessed the power of 108 familiars, swearing allegiance, plus the newly born "Human Path" shikigami Wugou, under his leadership, the future of the "Six Paths Realm" would surely be promising. In the near future, this storm would quickly sweep across the Divine Continent! Ni

Tianxie revealed a satisfied smile, looking into the distance, and silently said in his heart, "Mother, it's time for me to come and fetch you."

Chapter Seven: The Successor of the Heavenly

Sword. A ring-shaped mountain range, not entering the sea of trees.

The towering forest, formed over millennia, was recently devastated by a man-made catastrophe—a battle between two unparalleled masters—resulting in an unprecedented calamity! Nearly 30% of the forest became barren wasteland, and over 20% of the remaining area was severely damaged, requiring at least five hundred years to recover.

In the gravelly wasteland, a young man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Before him were a pair of rusted, worn swords, resembling scrap metal. Around him, within a radius of five zhang (approximately 10 meters), unusually, sprouted green shoots, forming a seemingly meaningful pattern on the ground. In

the wind, the green grass and branches swayed gently, and the young man's clothes moved with it. The wind moved, the grass moved, the trees moved, the leaves moved, but the young man's heart remained still. His heart was still, therefore his body was still; his body was still, therefore everything around him was still. All things were silent; only he was the sword!

Suddenly, in the boy's consciousness, he sensed an intruder. Without raising his hands or feet, his "Sword of Life" spun casually, and two tree buds, as if imbued with sentience, attacked the intruder. The newcomer let out a soft sigh, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's song—she was a woman!

The boy's "Tree Sword" showed no mercy regardless of the newcomer's gender. The branches and leaves concealed unpredictable sword energy and counterattacks, completely sealing off any escape routes. This single move alone revealed the might of a grandmaster.

The newcomer clearly intended to test the boy's skill. With a flick of her wrist, a gentle, flowing energy, like a ribbon, swept through the air, effortlessly neutralizing the sword energy on the branches. It was evident that the newcomer's skill was no less than the boy's.

The boy's fingers trembled. He merged his soul and body from his wandering consciousness, opened his eyes, and saw the newcomer's identity, his vision instantly brightening.

A face of ethereal beauty, a pair of deep phoenix eyes imbued with Zen-like wisdom, like a stunning jade sculpture descended from heaven to earth. Her celestial aura, like morning mist, permeated the surroundings, even bringing life to the barren land.

"I am Fan Xindi, a disciple of the 'Bodhi Throne,' and I have come specifically to pay my respects to Brother Ding Shenzhao, 'Sword Master Ding.'"

The young man felt a warmth and care in her voice, making it difficult to refuse her questions and requests. This feeling differed from the cloying, sinful allure of Ye Meixie; it was a righteous and persuasive approach.

The young man said calmly, "I am Ding Shenzhao. What brings you here?"

Fan Xindi glanced at the ground beside Ding Shenzhao and said with delight, "It seems Brother Ding has mastered Senior Ding Chenyi's 'Sword of Life.' The 'Heavenly Sword and Blade' has a worthy successor. This trip has certainly not been in vain." Ding

Shenzhao's eyes flashed with a sharp, sword-like light. Ding Chenyi had passed on the power of the "Sword of Life" to him before his death, a secret known to no one else in the world. How could Fan Xindi have revealed its mystery so clearly?

As if sensing Ding Shenzhao's doubts, Fan Xindi continued, "My master—the Lord of Floating and Sinking, and also the current head of the 'Bodhi Seat'—once met Senior Ding. The two discussed martial arts and the Dao. My master once told me that he highly praised Senior Ding's 'Sword of Life,' believing it to be a truly unprecedented and innovative sword technique in martial arts. What's even more rare is that the sword is full of life rather than killing intent; it is the only 'sword of the living' he has ever seen in his life."

Ding Shenzhao remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "So it is the Lord of Floating and Sinking of the Bodhi Seat. My late father once mentioned the Holy Lord's Dharma name and highly praised the Holy Lord's cultivation." "

Fan Xindi said, "Judging from Brother Ding's tone, it seems the ominous premonition my master sensed recently has unfortunately come true. Has Senior Ding truly passed away?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Ding Shenzhao's eyes as he said, "My father fought against the 'Yanhuang' king not long ago, and both of them died."

Fan Xindi trembled upon hearing this and said, "So it is!"

Ding Shenzhao glanced at Fan Xindi out of the corner of his eye and said coldly, "Let's speak frankly! Isn't the principle of the 'Bodhi Throne' to never contact outsiders? Miss Fan came to see me today, and it was Suoluo again..."

Fan Xindi nodded and said, "Brother Ding is indeed a straightforward person. Then I will get straight to the point. My master recently used the Heavenly Heart Technique to observe the stars at night and discovered that the nemesis of my Bodhi Throne, the Lord of the 'Six Realms,' the Holy Emperor of the Six Realms, who swept across the Divine Land with terrifying and bloody methods more than three hundred years ago, has been reincarnated as a god.

Ding Shenzhao scoffed, "A person who has been dead for over three hundred years can actually be resurrected? Miss Fan's words are a bit too absurd!" Fan

Xindi calmly replied, "Brother Ding, you can't disbelieve it even if you want to, because the person who possessed the body of the Holy Emperor of Luo Zuxing is none other than your best friend, Jun Tianxie."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shenzhao's pupils narrowed and flashed with a cold light. The branches on the ground suddenly withered and shrank rapidly, and the surrounding atmosphere turned bleak and murderous. Hundreds of sword energies gathered in the air, ready to be unleashed with a single thought, piercing Guanyin Tiannu with ten thousand swords!

Ding Shenzhao coldly said, "So you are also Tianxie's enemy... Since you dared to come to me first, you must have been prepared to die!"

Fan Xindi said, "I was indeed prepared to come, but that was not preparation to fight Brother Ding."

Ding Shenzhao said, "Enough nonsense! You are Tianxie's enemy, so you are my enemy." "

Fan Xindi sighed, "Brother Ding, you are mistaken. I am not your enemy."

Ding Shenzhao said, "I don't know if you are with Lou Xueyi or Di Shitian, but there is no doubt that you consider Tianxie an enemy. That is enough."

Ding Shenzhao meant that this was enough reason for him to kill Fan Xindi. He was Tianxie's sword! He would eliminate anyone or anything that might harm his master.

Suddenly, the pair of rusty swords in front of Ding Shenzhao drew their sheaths with a "clang!" The shimmering green light on the blades transformed what were once insignificant scrap metal into divine weapons! The

"Heir of the Heavenly Sword"—the Knotting Grass Sword and the Ring-Holding Saber—would only draw blood once drawn!

Fan Xindi's face showed disappointment. He shook his head slightly and sighed, "Brother Ding, you are stubborn and biased. It seems I have come to the wrong place."

"You have indeed come to the wrong place, because you will lose your life here today!"

With a long roar, Ding Shenzhao leaped into the sky, catching a pair of swords that followed him like arrows. The two swords clashed with a thunderous clang, followed by a torrent of sword and blade energy that crashed down like a tidal wave, striking towards "Guanyin Tiannu" Fan Xindi. To

protect the person he valued most in the world, Ding Shenzhao showed no mercy; every strike was a deadly blow.

"Truly worthy of being a disciple of Senior Ding, his mastery of combined sword and blade techniques is so exquisite." "

Brahma Xindi lightly pressed down on the hilt of his sword, and the 'Good Thoughts' sword arrived in his jade hand with a crisp ring. As he performed the hand seal, a serene Buddhist aura emanated from the blade. The sword light shone through Ding Shenzhao's body, making him feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, greatly reducing his killing intent. This proved that Buddhist martial arts were indeed profound and powerful. With

the sword in hand, Brahma Xindi's still aura instantly became ethereal and soaring. He casually thrust out the sword, seemingly without effort, but in Ding Shenzhao's eyes, he was shocked to realize that this sword strike had targeted the only weakness in his 'Sword Rises with a Blade' move!

Unless he was willing ..." He was willing to risk being struck by the sword first to continue his attack, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use this move again.

Ding Shenzhao acted decisively, the sword shadows and saber lights vanishing in an instant like a whale sucking water. Then, he used both swords and sabers to his left and right, using the "Ring-Holding Saber" to unleash sword intent and the "Grass-Knotting Sword" to thrust out saber energy, the swords and sabers moving in reverse, both slashing towards Fan Xindi.

Fan Xindi's mind was clear and empty, his supreme Buddha mind turning like a Dharma wheel, his enlightened mind clearly understanding the seemingly inverted and chaotic direction of the swords and sabers. This was the secret of the "Mahayana Buddha Sword" - "Zen Enlightenment", "stopping war before it even starts", which is the essence of Buddhism and Taoism.

The sword "Kindness" twisted and turned like the gentle guidance of Buddhism, meandering through the unpredictable sword energy, like an inextinguishable lamp amidst the overwhelming aura of swords and blades, its ethereal touch cutting into the whirlwind of blades to find the one point of convergence.

"Clang!"

The sword "Kindness" flickered slightly against Ding Shenzhao's blade and hilt, the two forces clashing head-on, causing both to shudder and involuntarily create distance.

Ding Shenzhao, holding his sword and blade at different heights, revealed a serious expression for the first time as he scrutinized the beautiful swordswoman before him. His inner strength came directly from the three-hundred-year-old inheritance of "Heavenly Sword and Absolute Blade" Ding Chenyi, though he only possessed less than thirty percent of it, its depth was already unmatched in the world. He hadn't expected that Fan Xindi could withstand it without even blinking. If it weren't for the "Bodhi Seat" having a secret, rapid training method, then he must have had some other extraordinary encounter like him.

Fan Xindi's astonishment was no less than her opponent's. To facilitate her becoming the first successor of the "Bodhi Throne" in five hundred years, the eight guardian elders had each sacrificed ten years of their power to her. Even the Throne's chief, the "Lord of Floating and Sinking," generously transferred one-tenth of his power to her. Judging from her appearance and age alone, it was unimaginable that she possessed over a century of internal energy cultivation.

Unexpectedly, when she clashed head-on with Ding Shenzhao, she had only used seventy percent of her power, intending not to harm him. However, upon contact with her opponent's first wave of true energy, she immediately increased it to eighty percent, but still could not withstand that overwhelming true energy. She had to increase it to ninety percent to barely achieve a stalemate.

"As expected of the successor of the Heavenly Sword, if he were to join forces with the reincarnated Holy Emperor, they might become an immeasurably terrifying force."

Fan Xindi secretly assessed her opponent's strength. If she were to eliminate the potentially harmful seeds of the future here... Considering the price she would have to pay and the original purpose of her visit, Fan Xindi was already considering retreating.

Suddenly, Fan Xindi turned her hand and sheathed her sword, then smiled slightly and said, "Let's stop fighting."

Ding Shenzhao was clearly not expected by her sudden move, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

Fan Xindi brushed her hair aside and said, "I said we're not fighting anymore, didn't you understand?"

Ding Shenzhao said with a cold face, "Does Miss Fan think this is a martial arts contest? This is a real sword fight where you're on your deathbed! How can you stop just like that?"

Fan Xindi smiled and said, "Brother Ding should have a good understanding of the difference in our skills. If we continue fighting, the result will only be mutual injury. Besides, my original intention in coming here was not to fight you. If you have any doubts about what I said, why don't you go to the Six Paths Realm yourself and see if what I said is true?"

Ding Shenzhao said coldly, "Of course I will go to the Six Paths Realm, but that doesn't conflict with your desire to save your life today." "

Fan Xindi spread her hands and said, 'If Brother Ding really insists on fighting, then I have no choice but to give my life to Brother Ding.' After saying that, she actually closed her eyes, looking as if she was waiting to die.

'Mama...!'

Ding Shenzhao was speechless with anger. Even though he spoke coldly, it was hard for him to kill an enemy who truly had no intention of fighting back, especially such a pure and beautiful woman. Even as the former 'Tearful Killer,' he found it difficult to bring himself to do so.

He was not good with words, and facing the 'Guanyin Heavenly Maiden,' whose sword, tongue, and wisdom were all equally sharp, defeat was to be expected.

Seeing that Ding Shenzhao had indeed fallen for her feigned indifference, Fan Xindi's murderous intent diminished. She smiled lightly, tapped her jade foot, and retreated.

'Where do you think you're going!'" "

With a swift movement, Ding Shenzhao immediately realized he had been tricked. He flicked his wrist, and the Grass-Knotting Sword shot towards Ding Shenzhao's face like a bolt from a bow. The speed of this sword was so fast that one could not even perceive the passage of time; it was as if a sword had existed between heaven and earth since time immemorial. Because Fan Xindi had angered the second-generation guardian deity of the 'Unentering Tree Sea,' this sword had become divine punishment to punish her.

The sword, like thunder and lightning, thrust towards him, but Fan Xindi showed no fear, laughing, 'It seems that Brother Ding will not give up today unless he shows his true skills.'" "

As Brahma spoke, his right hand, held in front of him, gently swung, tracing a flawless circle that met the Life-Bearing Sword Energy head-on.

Ding Shenzhao suddenly felt as if the center of the circle drawn by Brahma was a bottomless abyss, the powerful suction draining every last drop of true energy from his sword. Then, the circular energy ring shattered like a mirror, and Ding Shenzhao was horrified to discover that the vanished sword energy had rebounded perfectly from the point of contact!

"This is... Life-Bearing Sword Energy!! How is this possible?!" Ding

Shenzhao was utterly shocked. The "Sword of Life" was created by Ding Chenyi, who passed on the "Sword Soul" to him before his death using the "Passing on the Flame" method. Logically speaking, no one else in the world could possibly know it except himself. How could Fan Xindi possibly use it?

Given the haste, he had no time to think it through. Fortunately, he was proficient in dual swordsmanship. His left hand unleashed a sword strike like a raging tornado, blocking the counterattack in the nick of time, but he was still knocked back by the residual force.

Ding Shenzhao, of course, did not know that this was the secret technique of the Dharma Seat that even Jun Tianxie had suffered from—Bodhi Mirror Moon! By the time he calmed down and realized that Fan Xindi had only reversed the sword force with a skillful, almost illusionary, technique, by the time he had lost, his opponent was already far away.

"It is an honor to have the opportunity to compete with the successor of the Heavenly Sword today. I hope that next time, I can meet Brother Ding again, with a completely different perspective than today." "

The person is gone like a crane in the wind, but the voice seems to linger before him." This profound skill of "leaving a shadow but leaving a sound" only deepened Ding Shenzhao's furrowed brow. If any successor from the "Bodhi Throne" were like Fan Xindi, Jun Tianxie's future would be extremely precarious.

Suddenly, Ding Shenzhao realized that his "seclusion" had come to an end, because he couldn't possibly remain uninvolved knowing his brother was in trouble.

After Chen Yi's death, only two people in this world remained for him to care about: his "brother" Jun Tianxie, and another woman whose mere thought caused him heartache.

"Tianxie... are you really in the 'Six Realms'?" "If you are truly in trouble, even the deepest hell cannot stop me from saving you..."

Ding Shenzhao gazed into the distance, secretly resolving. However, at this moment, he was unaware that the "Heavenly Sword Successor" and the "Six Paths Holy Emperor" were destined to be irreconcilable enemies!

The deeper the brotherhood they shared today, the deeper the pain they would feel after their breakup!

Unfortunately, he was still unaware.

Chapter Eight: A Hundred Calculations -

The Six Paths Holy Temple.

This temple, which had once risen to prominence with its former master, but had also fallen into obscurity and darkness for centuries after his defeat, had recently gained some vitality due to the birth and arrival of a new master.

In the very center of the temple stood a unique jade dragon throne, upon which sat the newly born "Six Paths Holy Emperor," the "Heaven-Defying Evil" after the fusion of his personalities!

His silver hair flowed over his shoulders, with a few strands gently falling across his forehead, and his black, slanted eyebrows... His hair flew into his temples, and a faint Buddhist totem symbolizing the six realms of reincarnation could be seen between his brows. His eyes were as deep as the Milky Way, possessing an indescribable and strange charm. A faint smile played on his lips, carrying three parts arrogance, three parts mockery, three parts mystery, and one part haughtiness.

He looked more "unfathomable" than ever before. He wore a moon-white silk robe, trimmed with a color similar to his hair, a gorgeous, noble, elegant, and transcendent attire. His clothes reflected his appearance. Although he still retained some youthful innocence, he now exuded the aura of a king and the demeanor of a peerless master.

The camera then zoomed in on the dragon throne, revealing a shapely woman dressed in a sexy outfit, her head buried between his legs, engaging in various obscene and erotic acts.

"Mmm...mmm...woo...sizzle..."

The ambiguous tone, a provocative whisper, stirred the blood of the listener, its lewd atmosphere echoing in the sacred hall, adding a touch of abruptness and eeriness.

Half of her black hair obscured the woman's goddess-like profile, initially radiating a cold, aloof rationality. Yet, the exquisite body draped in black veil subtly called forth the wildest instincts within men, like a night-like spirit, both real and illusory, captivating the senses with a bewildering allure.

This woman was none other than Wu Gou, the Pure Yin Maiden recently reincarnated as a "Human" shikigami in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, chosen by the "Holy Emperor" Ni Tianxie!

To preserve the secret weapon of her "Pure Yin Body," Wu Gou had remained a virgin for over thirty years before Ni Tianxie took her virginity, but this did not mean she was ignorant of matters between men and women.

From the very beginning, she was trained in the "Hunter's Company" to be a "doll assassin," with bedroom arts being a mandatory course. As a result, aside from her last line of defense, any imaginable humiliation and discipline became an indelible memory in her upbringing.

Because she possessed a "pure yin body," her emotional fluctuations were far deeper than most. Furthermore, the countless wounds accumulated during her formative years caused her despondency to turn into gloom, and gloom to indifference. Ultimately, her only reason for continuing to live was simply to find a suitable burial place.

Until she met Ni Tianxie, everything changed completely.

He unlocked Wu Gou's emotional circuits, freeing her from the status of a "doll." To Wu Gou, Ni Tianxie was like her rebirth, her true love, an inviolable deity!

With an expression of happiness and reverence, Wu Gou ceaselessly licked Ni Tianxie's swollen member, her tongue moving to soothe the tip, gently pinching it with her lips and sucking with soft, sucking sounds.

Nourished by Wu Gou's saliva and fragrant tongue, Ni Tianxie smiled, placing one hand on her head as if petting a beloved pet, her fingers playing with her long, glossy black hair. Her other hand reached out and grasped Wu Gou's firm, round breast. Wu Gou released the tip, bending her upper body downwards to lick the scrotum hanging from her penis, as if responding to her master's actions.

Ni Tianxie gently closed his eyes, his hand kneading her breast, while his other hand continued to stroke her hair.

Ni Tianxie's fingers seemed to carry a mysterious electric current, causing Wugou, who was being played with, to feel a pleasure shooting from her nipples straight to her brain. She opened her peach-like cheeks, grasped the erect penis amidst the pubic hair, and slowly pushed the engorged tip into her mouth, letting out a deep sigh of pleasure.

After a few up-and-down movements, Wugou took the opportunity to swallow the entire penis in one gulp, the tip touching the mucous membrane of her throat. At that moment, Ni Tianxie exhaled and began to thrust his hips. At this time, Wugou's mouth coordinated with Ni Tianxie's movements, tightening her lips as much as possible.

As he moved his head upwards while holding the penis, Wugou couldn't help but excitedly increase the speed, so occasionally she only held the tip in her mouth, rotating her tongue like she was sucking on a candy ball. Now, as he entered and exited Wugou's mouth, touching her smooth tongue and moist lips, Ni Tianxie was already so sensitive that he was bursting with desire, letting out a happy groan, and his strong abdominal muscles began to tense.

Ni Tianxie's reaction sent waves of itchy pleasure through Wu Gou's lower body. Her mouth reflexively sucked and stirred, her tongue naturally licking the shaft and scrotum.

Then came a series of piston-like movements. Ni Tianxie seemed to treat Wu Gou's delicate mouth as his own wet mouth. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ni Tianxie felt a surge of pleasure, let out a low groan, and ejaculated into Wu Gou's mouth.

Wu Gou suddenly felt a hot, thick, and viscous liquid shoot out of her mouth, directly into her throat. She didn't feel disgusted; instead, she happily ate all the semen left in her mouth, as if it were some kind of nectar. Still wanting more, Wu Gou licked the semen from the corners of her mouth, then cupped Ni Tianxie's penis in both hands, starting from the tip, licking away every last drop of semen, serving him like an emperor.

Ni Tianxie stroked Wugou's hair with satisfaction and smiled, saying, "You did a great job, Wugou."

Wugou replied with a genuine expression of joy, "It is Wugou's honor to make Master happy."

Ni Tianxie chuckled, "Seeing how hard you've worked, I'll give you a little more pleasure today!"

Wugou happily replied, "Thank you, Master."

With an extremely elegant posture, she stood up gracefully and slowly removed the black veil from her body, revealing a beautiful and alluring figure with delicate and refined skin and a voluptuous curve that was captivating. Her

beauty possessed a strength and grace honed through years of training; her long legs were covered with smooth, white skin that was both firm and tender, forming a soft and symmetrical curve. Her full hips were incredibly alluring, with a deep vertical cleft between her thighs, their shape exuding feminine beauty. Her lotus-like feet were easily held in one hand, emanating a delicate fragrance, truly breathtaking and inspiring endless fantasies.

Her nipples and areolas were a tender pink, gradually blending into the color of her breasts, the tips already proudly pointing upwards. Her lower abdomen was flat and firm, covered with soft, dark pubic hair, each hair fine and curly, intertwined. The skin on her inner thighs was fair and delicate, shining even more brightly against the dark pubic hair. Her

small, delicate labia were pink, half-open, two slightly raised mounds of tender flesh, with a moist and alluring slit between them, like guardian deities protecting her vulnerable secret place, emitting a faint fragrance like orchids.

Ni Tianxie looked into Wugou's eyes and commanded, "Come on!"

Wugou, her eyes hazy, straddled Ni Tianxie's thighs, gently pressing her slightly pale, luscious lips to his, followed by a passionate kiss. At the same time, her already soaked vagina aligned with the tip of his penis, easily allowing Ni Tianxie to enter her.

"Ahhh…!"

Wu Gou let out a groan, a sound that was hard to decipher as to whether it was satisfaction or pain. She forced herself to endure the dizzying pleasure coursing through her mind and began to move up and down.

Each thrust was accompanied by a powerful shiver that coursed through her. Her tender orifice was being penetrated by the enormous penis, her vagina feeling tightly filled. But that was only at the beginning. As the penis moved back and forth repeatedly inside her, the initial dull pain gradually lessened. The hot, thick penis pierced her lower abdomen, sending waves of tingling, itchy, sour, and numb pleasure through her, igniting an urge to move even faster. Waves of pleasure spread from her lower body throughout her entire being.

Wu Gou relentlessly thrust into Ni Tianxie, her slender waist swaying, straightening, and contracting, even arching her back against the dragon throne.

As Ni Tianxie lifted her buttocks and continued thrusting, he kneaded her round breasts. From this angle, he could clearly see the lewd state of their intercourse, the soft pubic hair and moist petals, and the penis constantly entering and exiting her core.

"Ah...ah...so good...um...ah...I'm going to fly to heaven..."

Wugou tightly embraced Ni Tianxie's neck with both hands, passionately making love to him. Her trembling breasts rubbed against his strong chest, her slender waist swayed rapidly from side to side, her vulva lifted up and down in thirst, her snow-white legs crossed to their limit, clamping his penis tightly, her pink and plump buttocks swaying and spinning rapidly, perfectly matching Ni Tianxie's fierce onslaught. This lewd and seductive appearance was completely different from the cold and silent doll she had been before.

Seeing Wu Gou's alluring face and wanton demeanor, Ni Tianxie's thoughts drifted involuntarily to "her," a woman whose appearance and temperament bore a resemblance to Wu Gou. Suddenly, he forcefully kissed her seductive red lips, tightly embracing her with both hands. Taking a deep breath, he thrust his thick, long penis into Wu Gou's alluring opening, unleashing his surging lust and reveling in her seductive, wanton energy, indulging in endless, unrestrained pleasure.

"Ah... Master... you're fucking me... I'm going to die... ahhh..."

Suddenly, Wu Gou's slender, perfectly proportioned body arched backward against Ni Tianxie, her ample breasts trembling violently. A series of intense, irregular spasms ran through her body, her head shaking rapidly, and she cried out ecstatically, "Ah...ah...so good...I want...um...I want it..."

Ni Tianxie growled, "Mother—!"

His penis began to swell intermittently, the tip spurting hot liquid that sprayed into Wu Gou's womb.

"Oh...oh oh...Master...you ejaculated...you ejaculated inside Wu Gou..."

Waves of semen surged, repeatedly bringing Wu Gou to the peak of orgasm, her soul feeling as if it had been torn into countless pieces, merging into the blazing sun, no longer distinguishable from one another.

After reaching the pinnacle of climax, Wu Gou collapsed completely, her skin flushed a rosy red. Her soft, warm body remained tightly joined to Ni Tianxie's lower body, the blush lingering on her face. Her tightly closed eyes trembled incessantly as she lay quietly and obediently in her master's arms, soft moans escaping her nose, a hint of spring in her lips, savoring the lingering pleasure of her orgasm.

Her long, slender legs clung to him like moths drawn to a flame, leaning against Ni Tianxie's broad chest, she whimpered, "Master... Wu Gou is so happy..."

A meaningful smile played on Ni Tianxie's lips. He said nothing more, nor did he need to. Wu Gou's happiness was her own business; he had no obligation or need to be responsible for her "thoughts."

In the end, Wu Gou was merely someone's substitute, a dessert before the main course.

Ni Tianxie gently stroked Wugou's back and asked, "How's the matter I entrusted to you going?"

Wugou looked up and replied, "As you instructed, I've informed the Asura Hall of Rakshasa's location."

Ni Tianxie smiled and said, "Very good. If Dugu Bingxin wants to avenge her father, she should know how to seize this opportunity."

Wugou said, "Master, there's something I don't understand."

"Speak!"

"Why did Master defeat Rakshasa and spare his life, only to now use someone else to eliminate him?"

Ni Tianxie smiled slightly, his tone calm yet cunning: "The rabbit mourns the fox's death. After more than three hundred years of reincarnation, the shikigami's loyalty to the Heavenly Dao is far less than before. Huang Quan was eliminated because Luouo could not possibly be loyal to me, but if two shikigami die at the hands of this newly born Holy Emperor in one day, the remaining people will inevitably think that I, their master, am too ruthless. What use are subordinates who cannot be truly loyal?"

Wu Gou tilted her head and said: "Since Master does not trust them, why keep them?"

Ni Tianxie laughed: "Cultivating a shikigami is not as simple as you imagine. Besides, I have already absorbed all the essence of the universe from the Six Paths Sacred Pearl. The 'Reincarnation Through Life' method is no longer feasible. If I eliminate them all, wouldn't only you and me remain among the Six Paths shikigami? We can't hold the fort alone!" "

Wu Gou said, "Even if it's just Master alone, I believe there is no one in this world who can rival him."

Ni Tianxie shook his head slightly and said, "The 108 familiars under Naraku's command and Mo Zhi's healing arts are both indispensable pieces in my plan. As for Rakshasa... he is a double-edged sword that hurts others and himself. Keeping him around will only become a stumbling block to my hegemony sooner or later. Eliminating him with a borrowed knife is the best way."

Wu Gou pinched his hair with his fingers and drew circles on Ni Tianxie's chest: "Rakshasa is, after all, the strongest shikigami second only to Master. Can Dugu Bingxin be his match?" "

Ni Tian Xie Dao: 'According to intelligence, Dugu Bingxin has already mastered the "War God" technique of his ancestor, the "War God" Xuanwu. Based on the memories of the Holy Emperor in my mind, even if Rakshasa breaks through to the ultimate realm, the outcome should only be a 50/50 battle. Moreover, Rakshasa still has the Eternal Sword wound I left him. With this disparity, I estimate that Rakshasa should be able to achieve the final victory.'

Wu Gou exclaimed in surprise: 'Dugu Bingxin can actually master the War God Technique! Doesn't that mean he possesses enough strength to threaten Master?'

Ni Tian Xie Dao's lips curled into a cold smile as he said: 'He is not even worth my attention. In this world, there are only three people I consider my opponents.'

'Which three? '" "

Ni Tianxie's tone was calm, yet it couldn't conceal his arrogant air of dominating the world: "The 'Heavenly King' Di Shitian, who mastered the 'Nine Yang Ultimate'; the sixteenth chief of the 'Bodhi Throne'—the Lord of Floating and Sinking, and..." He

paused slightly, smiled faintly, and flicked his finger: "Inheriting the skills of my father's nemesis, 'Heavenly Sword and Absolute Blade' Ding Chenyi, my former personality's 'good brother'—'Vertical Sword and Horizontal Blade' Ding Shenzhao!"

When he mentioned Ding Shenzhao's name, Ni Tianxie's face seemed to be filled with countless undisguised sarcasm.

Wu Gou looked up in surprise at Ni Tianxie's expression at this moment, and suddenly she felt like she was hugging a huge block of ice!

Ni Tianxie smiled slightly, concealing the sudden killing intent, and patted Wu Gou's fragrant buttocks: "Alright! Get up, I should get ready to leave too."

Wu Gou asked: "Master, where...where are you going?" "

Ni Tianxie's gaze turned towards the outside of the hall, his eyes suddenly becoming complex and profound. He spoke in a tone that was both gentle and expectant: 'We must go and welcome my mother, your new mistress, back.'"
