Translator: Fate Proofreader: Silavin “Brother, aren’t you going to admit to it now that these people are here? How are you going to explain this? You’ve deceived us for so long!” Looking at this scene, Ying Yu began to stutter. Her expression had become even more cold as it was almost confirmed that Ying Shuang was the Successor of Demonic Arts. After all, she had never seen these three monstrous beings in the Sacred Lord Realm before in her life, but they were surprisingly respectful towards her brother. As for Ying Shuang, he was now filled with bitterness since there was no point in him explaining. “Keep your mouth shut, little girl! The Successor isn’t someone you can yell at. Do you have a death wish?” Suddenly, one of the beings of the Sacred Lord Realm turned cold while a divine light burst out, as if he was angered by Ying Yu’s words, filling the place with a murderous aura. He then swung his palm which was a divine technique, and the palm was full of energy of the earth with the Force of Law falling from it, which was as terrifying as a wheel of destruction, trying to obliterate Ying Yu instantly. Just its fluctuations alone was able to blow away many people standing far away from it as they completely couldn’t handle its impact. As someone in the Quasi-Sacred Realm, Ying Yu was no match against an attack from someone in the Sacred Lord Realm. Any resistance would be futile. Not only that, her Golden Ancient Bell was currently battling with Ying Shuang, so it wasn’t able to retreat and protect her in time. “Lady Ying Yu…” “Oh no, we must protect Lady Ying Yu quickly!” Everyone in the Sky Emperor Mountain was stunned as they hurriedly made a move to try and resist the attack, but the moment they came into contact with the fluctuations, they instantly exploded and turned into a mist of blood. The power of someone in the Sacred Lord Realm was boundless as the others possessed a threat no different from ants. As for the other two experts in the Sacred Lord Realm, they began their attack on the other young beings, and their methods were extremely ruthless, as if they weren’t afraid of causing a huge commotion out of it. They looked as though they were determined to slaughter everyone here today. Looking at this scene, everyone was filled with despair and started to regret why they didn’t avoid this place from the start. All of a sudden, the land became even more tragic than before as blood and corpses were seen everywhere, and many people had died. “They’ve given up on humanity. Now that so many young prodigies are dead, Sky Emperor Ying won’t be able to protect Sky Prince Ying even if he is still alive…” Ye Langtian conjured a weapon with a pale face to protect the people behind him. “Ying Shuang, you’ve lost your mind to a point that you are even going to kill me now, right?” Facing the palm of the Sacred Lord Realm being expert, Ying Yu had become completely pale in despair as her soul shook, knowing that it would be impossible for her to resist. She looked at Ying Shuang with eyes filled with cold and unfamiliarity, but more of it was the pain of their relationship breaking up. “Please stop…” Ying Shuang spoke and tried to stop the Sacred Lord Realm expert, but when hearing his request, the being only revealed a hint of tease in his eyes without wanting to stop at all. He didn’t intend to follow Ying Shuang’s orders as he was determined to have Ying Yu killed. “Lady Ying Yu!” Everyone in Sky Emperor Mountain roared in despair with red eyes since they didn’t expect her to die in the hands of her own brother today. [After becoming the Successor of Demonic Arts, Ying Shuang no longer cares about his family as he has turned into a heartless monster!] At this moment, Ying Yu couldn’t help but helplessly close her eyes. Her most effective way of staying alive was the Golden Ancient Bell in her soul, but other than that, she had no methods to withstand this attack at all. However, the next second, the pain that she expected didn’t become reality. Instead, a gentle and warm voice was heard next to her ears, and the terrifying fluctuations from the being’s strike was blocked by some Sacred Lord Weapon by someone. “Luckily, I came just in time.” Hearing his voice, Ying Yu quickly opened her eyes before they widened in disbelief. At some point, the figure of a young man suddenly showed up in front of her who wasn’t very tall, but for some reason, he looked upright at this moment. With gentle eyes, his white robes and wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, exuding a transcendent aura. Even under such a crisis, he still remained calm, as if he could hold the entire world on his shoulders. He was none other than Gu Changge who watched everything happen in the dark before finally revealing himself. “Prince Gu…” Ying Yu mumbled his name. For some reason, her jewel-like silver eyes were filled with his back as she couldn’t take her eyes away from him for a long time. “Young Master Changge!” “It’s Young Master Changge! Great! We are saved!” Young Master Changge has come to save us!” At this moment, the silent sky was immediately filled with a horrifying roar. As everyone stared at the figure in the high sky, they couldn’t help but cheer with excitement as if they had just escaped death. “Brother Gu is finally here. If he arrived any slower, I’m afraid that all of us would have died here today…” “However, with three experts in the Sacred Lord Realm here today, I’m afraid that it will be difficult even for Brother Gu.” “I wonder how he’ll deal with them.” Ye Langtian and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn’t help but smile while becoming much more relaxed than before. At some point, Gu Changge had already become a symbol of stability in their eyes. With him around, any danger could be suppressed, and the Successor of Demonic Arts is no different! “Little man, who are you? Do you want to die?” Seeing his attack being blocked, the Sacred Lord Realm expert in black robes seemed to be extremely enraged with wisps of golden light in his eyes that could destroy anything. He stared at Gu Changge closely and noticed an ancient mirror in his hand that was full of murderous aura. It was this ancient mirror that Gu Changge used just now to block his attack. Watching the scene, everyone began to have hope because Gu Changge had many methods to deal with him. Since he dared to come here, it must mean that he had a way to deal with them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t block the attack in front of Ying Yu and save her life. “Gu Changge!” At the moment, Ying Shuang was also glaring at him with eyes filled with rage, hatred and bloodlust. If it weren’t difficult for him to activate the Golden Ancient Bell, he would have done something to kill Gu Changge by now. Even though no one else knew, he understood that all of this was just an act by Gu Changge, including the Sacred Lord Realm expert’s attack just now and him saving Ying Yu. It was all part of his plan. However, Gu Changge couldn’t care less about his expression or the three Sacred Lord Realm experts in front of him as he continued, “Brother Ying, can’t you see how wrong you are at this point? If you decide to give up on the Forbidden Demonic Arts, we may even sit down to have a drink and chat. Do you think this will do you any good? You are just going to be the enemy of the world. The Forbidden Demonic Arts is something that should have disappeared in history, so why do you still covet it?” He sighed slightly with a very sorry and regretful tone. “Gu Changge, you despicable shit! All of this is part of your plan. If not for you, I wouldn’t be like this today. You can now stop pretending to be the good guy!” Listening to his words, Ying Shuang was now exasperated without the calm expression he had before. At this moment, he couldn’t wait to kill him instantly as he was obviously the one who framed him, but now, he was still pretending to be the righteous one. [Why is there such a shameless person in this world?] “I know that you hate me, but if I don’t do it, more cultivators will be harmed by you. Revealing your identity will indeed make you hate me to the bone, but there’s no other way. Although I don’t see myself as a good person, I can’t stand aside and watch while everyone dies.” Gu Changge shook his head helplessly, but soon, his expression turned serious with a hint of coldness. “But you should never do anything like slaughtering your peers, especially your own sister. Is there anyone in this world as heartless as you?” “Gu Changge… Only you would dare to say such words!” Ying Shuang was so infuriated that he almost spewed out blood and exploded. There had never been a moment like today when he was exasperated by just a few words. In the past, he was able to manage his emotions very well and wouldn’t care about what others said, but seeing Gu Changge slandering him in front of everyone without any evidence, how could he hold back his anger any longer? “Successor, don’t worry. We’ll kill him right this instant! No one will be able to leave here alive today, including him!” The three Sacred Lord Realm experts spoke at the same time while staring at Gu Changge coldly before attacking. The horrifying power of the Sacred Lord Realm intertwined in the sky, and blurry figures even sat on the edge of the sky with wisps of chaotic mist hanging down from them, preventing anyone from escaping! “Be careful, Prince Gu!” Ying Yu couldn’t help but feel worried and remind him. “Don’t worry!” Gu Changge smiled faintly while his hands conjured a vague bright divine light in the air that was extremely astonishing and filled with a terrifying aura. A series of Principles and chains seemed to intertwine in different worlds, evolving into a melting pot that could melt the entire world! Many nearby young prodigies could feel their souls trembling in fear. Their Primordial Spirits were also frozen, as if every living thing was about to welcome their end and be melted back into chaos! Hum! On Gu Changge’s hand, a blurry but real melting pot began to appear with red haze blooming and only a billion wisps of Daoist energy emerging on its surface. “This is the Immortal Gu Family’s Supreme Technique, the All-Mighty Dao Oven. It is all-powerful when melting everything and bringing anything to its end…” someone couldn’t help but stutter when he recognised the move. “However, with Young Master Changge’s ability, even if he performs such a technique, he won’t be able to resist three experts in the Sacred Lord Realm!” At this moment, the three Sacred Lord Realm experts struck out at the same time, and their attack had already reached the front of Gu Changge, preparing to obliterate him. Hum! The sky was trembling as the power was too terrifying and vast! At that moment, it seemed as though endless divine light erupted to a horrifying extent, and the Sacred Principles felt as though they could turn everything around. Dang! The void was penetrated and right after, amidst the disbelief in the three beings’ eyes, a divine seal was floating with the power of the earth and cosmos emerging all at the same time. The light was so stunning that there were even World Principles spreading from the land into the void! “Oh my!” “It’s… a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon!” “Young Master Changge actually possesses a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon! This…” “Could it be that this is given to him by the Immortal Gu Family? It also seems like he activated it himself. This is unbelievable.” The next moment, everyone was speechless as they could feel the fluctuations coming from it. Even though it was hard for them to recognise what Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon it was, the fluctuations they felt were already astonishing. [Among the current younger generation, there is actually another young prodigy who possesses a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon other than Prince Ying, who is the heir of Sky Emperor Ying. What kind of frightening strength is this? How many methods does Gu Changge have up his sleeves that he hasn’t revealed to the world? No wonder he is the best among the younger generation!] “Oh no…” Watching the scene, the three were stunned and couldn’t help but quickly retreat. After all, Prince Ying’s Golden Ancient Bell was being kept busy and it was difficult for it to divert some of its powers to help out. That was why everyone had the same idea that as long as one wasn’t stupid enough, it would be wise not to go against a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon. Whether it was a being in the Sacred Lord Realm or the Sacred King Realm, in the face of a true Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon, anyone would look as weak as paper mache. Poof! However, at this moment, Gu Changge couldn’t but turn pale before spewing out a mouthful of blood, as if it was hard for him to withstand the power of a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon. Colourful divine lights began to rise from his body as well as a chaotic energy while his bones and veins contained a shocking celestial power that was barely supporting him. Looking at this scene, everyone could feel their hearts tremble as they were filled with nothing but respect and reverence. To activate a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon and strike an attack using it required a vast amount of power to support, and if it was any other person, they would probably be sucked dry before having the chance to activate a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon. However, Gu Changge was still standing strong at this point, so they couldn’t help but admit his strength and determination! “Young Master Changge has sacrificed so much for the sake of the people of this world! This righteousness of his deserves the admiration from all of us!” Some of the young prodigies had eyes full of respect and even fervour. It was one thing hearing about his powers from rumours, but watching it with their own eyes, they were immediately filled with passion in their blood. At this moment, the three experts in the Sacred Lord Realm also seemed to notice that something was wrong, so they looked at each other with stunned faces. “This is bad. We should leave right now!” “There is something weird about this guy. I’m afraid that if we stay here any longer, it will draw the attention of other ancient beings!” “We can’t stay here any longer…” Listening to them, many of the young prodigies breathed a sigh of relief as they were afraid that they would go insane and send everyone here to an early grave. “Successor, we need to leave as soon as possible!” “This place isn’t safe for us to stay.” Then, the three Sacred Lord Realm experts quickly moved and brought Ying Shuang away from here forcefully. Even though Ying Shuang’s expression remained cold and angry, he found it difficult to break free from their grasp. They quickly disappeared as well as the power of the Golden Ancient Bell that was enveloping all areas, leaving the place in ashes and ruins. With that, everyone breathed a sigh and felt a sense of relief after nearly escaping death as they no longer had the feeling of crisis that they had just now. As for Gu Changge, they were grateful towards him even more since without him today, everyone here would probably end up dead. Seeing Ying Shuang being dragged away, Gu Changge didn’t stop or pursue them. Instead, he withdrew the floating divine seal within the chaotic mist. Naturally, this was the Celestial Seal, but he managed to use some methods to conceal its true energy so that on one would recognise it. Then, he glanced at Ying Yu before shaking his head and sighing. “What a pity…” “Prince Gu, you’ve already done your best. I didn’t expect there to be such an organisation behind Ying Shuang. What happened today really is shocking,” Ying Yu, who was touched, quickly replied so that he wouldn’t blame himself. Whether it was Gu Changge suddenly stepping in to save her or standing up against the three in the Sacred Lord Realm, he deserved all the praise, which was why the people of Sky Emperor Mountain came up to show their appreciation. “What an eventful day!” Gu Changge nodded his head with a hint of lament in his expression, but after that, he spewed out another mouthful of blood, staining his clothes, as if forcefully activating a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon had damaged his Source. “Prince Gu…” “Young Master Changge, how are your injuries? I have quite a few healing medicines here…” “I have some too!” “Me too!” The scene instantly caused everyone’s hearts to twist as they spoke in concern. “It’s fine. Thank you everyone for your concerns, but I’m fine.” Gu Changge smiled with a natural expression and waved at everyone. Then, Ye Langtian, Wang Wushuang, Chi Ling and the others also quickly came to greet him with a still palpitating heart. Soon, news about what happened here spread, and other than the Eternal Overcast Battlefield, even the Southern Flourishing Heaven and the Upper Realm were stirred for many days. Every faction was angered, especially since many of their young prodigies had died here, causing a huge uproar. Among them, the most furious was the Qilin Clan of the Demon World and the Endless Fire Kingdom! News about the appearance of the Successor of Demonic Arts and how he activated a Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon to slaughter every young prodigy in the Eternal Overcast Battlefield caused huge shockwaves, leaving countless cultivators angry, uneasy and frightened. After what happened, the power of the force supporting the Successor of Demonic Arts behind Prince Ying also surfaced, which shocked and scared countless people. After all, there were three beings in the Sacred Lord Realm! At that time, if Gu Changge didn’t arrive in time, it was possible that every one of them would die on the spot and not live to tell the tale. Many cultivators were frightened by how ruthless Prince Ying was! In the midst of this accident, Gu Changge’s reputation also reached a new height since he was the one who saved the many young beings in the end, which made countless people grateful towards him! After the incident, Sky Emperor Mountain was the first to issue a decree, stating that Prince Ying had nothing to do with them and all his actions were his alone. Of course, even after issuing such a decree, it still wasn’t able to calm the raging crowd as many factions quickly rushed to the Sky Emperor Mountain for justice. All of a sudden, a storm began to brew on all corners of the Upper Realm. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and on a deserted mountain in the Eternal Overcast Battlefield, Gu Changge stood with his hand behind his back and robe fluttering in the wind. He stood there looking down with a calm and indifferent expression. “Master, the matter has been dealt with as you ordered. After we dragged Prince Ying away, we simply found a desolate place and left him there to fend for himself. We also told him that someone will then come and find him so that he doesn’t need to be anxious.” The three Sacred Lord Realm experts stood behind him respectfully before reporting what happened. Even though they were puppets, they still had a certain amount of intelligence, and after they were refined, they were destined to not betray Gu Changge, so there was nothing for him to worry about. [After he broke up with Sky Emperor Mountain, Ying Shuang’s Fortuity has almost reached its lowest point. Now, he is just an unlucky bastard, but I hope that my guess is right. If there isn’t an organisation of Demonic Arts, he won’t be able to take the blame. Otherwise, I can just kill him and see what comes afterward.] He nodded his head with thoughtful eyes. In the eyes of many, Ying Shuang had been brought away by the Organisation of Demonic Arts, so he could now easily eliminate him since he could still continue taking the blame while being dead. However, Gu Changge chose not to do so because he wanted to use him as bait to draw out the hidden Organisation of Demonic Arts. [Now, it’s time to consider who is the other co-called Successor of Demonic Arts.] He couldn’t help but squint his eyes since logically, things should begin to clear up after he sent Yan Ji to look into some information. … Meanwhile, inside a grand pavilion in Southern Flourishing Heaven, Ying Yu, who looked somewhat haggard, came here after leaving the Eternal Overcast Battlefield. “Princess Mingkong, I wonder why you’ve asked me to come here.” She looked at the gorgeous woman in front her with her silver eyes while furrowing her brows. At the same time, she couldn’t stand her examining and condescending gaze, as if the woman in front of her wasn’t an ordinary girl but a proud and magnificent Emperor of heaven! Even though she was the daughter of Sky Emperor Ying and shared the same status as her, she couldn’t help but still feel inferior when facing her. She didn’t know why Yue Mingkong asked her out since she had been busy with what was going on with Ying Shuang recently. “Of course, I have something to tell you. As a word of advice to you, don’t have any emotions for Gu Changge. I’m saving you, but I’m also warning you.” Yue Mingkong finally spoke with a quiet tone. After examining the ‘damsel in distress’ in front of her that Gu Changge saved, she withdrew her gaze that was filled with a deep calmness.
