Chapter 679 - Destiny (1/2)

Lunar Deity said, ”The Netherworld is imperishable and I will not allow you to destroy this world.”

Emperor Xia said, ”I know you meant to say that this shabby Netherworld has been transformed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva into a treasure that crosses boundless reincarnation and transcends Daoism, plus the Daoist bodies of yours and Lu Ya, coupled with the circulation of the sun and the moon, this place has become the hope for you to achieve detachment. So you will not tolerate anyone who wants to destroy the Netherworld. But you failed to notice one thing, the Netherworld will never belong to you.”

Lunar Deity sneered, ”You seem to know a lot of things now.”

Emperor Xia said, ”You should understand that the higher one's cultivation level is, the less they do not know. You even forgot about Guan Longzi. I also know about the Lianshanyi he created before his death.”

”This man was very strong and very loyal to you. You should not kill him.” Lunar Deity could not help but sigh when she thought of Guan Longzi.

Emperor Xia merely said, ”I killed him because he deserved it.”

Lunar Deity felt a chill in her heart. She knew she had underestimated Emperor Xia's cruelty. He was no longer moved by kinship. That was why he improved so quickly when he started to practice the Primeval Demon Technique.

Working together with Emperor Xia seemed like a mistake now.

Emperor Xia continued, ”Weren't you worried that I wasn't cruel enough? Why are you afraid now?”

Lunar Deity sighed, ”How can I not be afraid of seeing you this way.”

Emperor Xia placed his hands behind his back and smirked. The spiritual shape of Lunar Deity slowly disappeared, and the moon in the sky shone brighter, but it sent chills to one's bones. The power of Taiyin in Diqiu city was so rich it exceeded Jing Shu's expectation. Such saturated power of Taiyin could help a spiritually active demon to save ten years' worth of effort.

A power of Taiyin this concentrated could not only catalyze a demon, it could also kill. Every strand of the moonshine carried the unique mark of Guanghan, but Jing Shu never absorbed even one drop of this power of Taiyin.

She flew towards the moon in the sky and covered it, causing the city of Diqiu to be dimmed down. This was when the moon transformed into a Fairy of Moon Palace and gazed at her coldly.

When she waved her hand, all the power of Taiyin turned into a vast ocean separating her and Jing Shu. Jing Shu laughed and turned into a Kun fish a few thousand miles in length. Her Qi dynamic crumbled the clouds and made strong waves, causing the void to emit a noise.

On the ground, Shen Lian never cared about the bout between Jing Shu and Lunar Deity. He told Kui Li, ”The whole city of Kui Li has been turned into a large formation and Emperor Xia is the nucleus of this formation. I will see him because this demonic formation must not run. But, you must beware of his strong underlings.”

Kui Li answered, ”I will not be your burden.” Her reply was so soft but confident.

Shen Lian nodded and transformed into a whirlwind. Many demonic figures appeared wherever this whirlwind passed, which were all hit away by Shen Lian. Surely, more demonic figures appeared where some went after Shen Lian and some stayed to face Kui Li.

They were all elites of the Xia Clan and were all demons who followed Emperor Xia.

Kui Li feared nothing. This was an obstacle and also training. Her Peacock Killing Method could only elevate in combats and get her closer to the level of Mahā-mayūrī-vidyā-rājñī.

Shen Lian knew very well of this, which was why he gave Kui Li the opportunity to fight.
