Chapter 618 Unparalleled in The World (1/2)

The Register of Life and Death represented the origin of the Netherworld even though the current Netherworld was only the pieces of the original Netherworld. The Netherworld was the representation of the Dao of life and death, hence, even if it was just a small part of it, the power of the origin was not something Shen Lian could handle.

The Millstone of Life and Death kept rotating and Shen Lian was trapped in the core. He could not help but let the terrifying power erode his celestial body inch by inch.

Fortunately that he was in the state of Taiyi. Even if the body and spirit that he used to walk the earth vanished completely, he still had the bit of real soul in the Village of Nothingness. In the future, another Shen Lian would be born but it would take a long time to restore his current cultivation experience and mana. Furthermore, as the real soul which he left at the Village of Nothingness was pure, he would not be able to completely copy his existing supernatural powers and understanding of cultivation. That was the only way for the real soul to exist in the Village of Nothingness in an independent form.

The killing formation the Lady Mother of the Chariot set up was something she obtained after years of hard work and isolation. It was also called Trial of Life and Death and the most critical part was the divine flag in her hand.

The original name of the divine flag was the six-soul flag. It belonged to Lingbao Tianzun originally, which was subsequently lost. It was found by the Lady Mother of the Chariot in the Netherworld. Compared to the power at the beginning of time, the six-soul flag had weakened. Otherwise, the Lady Mother of the Chariot could rely on just the six-soul flag to destroy any with supernatural powers in the Netherworld in opposition in order to achieve her plan.

Currently the six-soul flag could only act as a barrier for her to be temporarily relieved of the Register of Life and Death, and for it to be the core of the 'Trial of Life and Death' which pulled on the power of the Register of Life and Death, turning into the Millstone of Life and Death against Shen Lian.

While Shen Lian did not predict the situation to be as dire, his expertise in the Dao of Yi told him that it was possible for him to turn the table for this one.

When the Primordial Spirit of Lu Ya descended, despite being trapped in the Millstone of Life and Death, he detected his breath.

It was not an unfamiliar breath, as his guesses previously were now verified. Even though he was re-compensating a huge favor he extended, Shen Lian understood that it was better to end this relationship, otherwise, it would become an obstacle for him to attain Dao. In return, it could turn into hatred, causing more harm than good.

With Shen Lian's clarity, he understood that it was a trap within a trap. It was designed to trap him and the other, and hence, he could not rely on his aid entirely. He needed to find an opportunity to get out.

Even though the consequence if he failed only meant for him to reincarnate again, Shen Lian still did not want that to happen.

The Register of Life and Death was not a self-made enlightened true celestial, and as it did not have the perfect formation, Shen Lian was not without an opportunity. As long as he could get out today, with the complete digestion of the Beginning Qi of Earth, Shen Lian could guarantee that even if in the future he was in such a situation again, he was confident that he could get out of it easily.

On the other hand, while Daoist Lu Ya seemed to be joking leisurely, in reality, he was defending strongly.

This murder, if it was done one on one, the Lady Mother of the Chariot had to admit defeat. The difficult part was that these people wanted to do it all at once, with no consideration for the rules.

However, Daoist Lu Ya did not express his anger, as he had done this previously on the people from the Order of Jie.

Among the people who were besieging him, Tianyi's cultivation experience was considered the weakest but Daoist Lu Ya knew that if he underestimated Tianyi, it would be his biggest mistake.

Furthermore, the person who reacted first was Emperor Xia. Where he stood in the void had countless clouds gathering. Zhaoge City was entirely covered by Emperor Xia's clouds. People at Zhaoge could see no light.

The clouds were steaming with blood-red black Qi, like coagulated blood clots, which made people shudder.
