Chapter 411: Minghe Reappears

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

The Karma was formed and Minghe could do nothing about it. He could not have guessed the intention of a Supreme Realm expert. He could not decide whether it was a blessing or a curse. Apart from that Karma, Hongjun had another deadly one. Hongjun bore the reason, and Minghe had the result.

Hongjun snatched a branch from the Star Tree of the Origin and trapped Minghe. If Minghe died, there would be no more Karma. For the last 1,000 years, Hongjun had been calculating. He could foresee all Creatures dead, except for Minghe. Minghe's fate was vague, which made him unpredictable.

It was a headache for Hongjun that Minghe did not die. He knew clearly who Minghe was. In Untainted Land, whoever went against Minghe had suffered. Now, he had become Minghe's archenemy. Even if he had wanted to, Minghe would not reconcile. A peaceful settlement was impossible.

One thing Hongjun found relieving was that Minghe's fate was faintly discernible now. Minghe must have been badly injured, and it would take him several thousand years to recover. During this period of time, Hongjun would surpass him. Even when Minghe sought revenge in the future, Hongjun could crush him and eliminate him for good.

At the thought of this, Hongjun immediately began to heal himself. He lost some of his Origin in the action, and it affected his cultivation badly. After he had completely recovered, he had to find out Minghe's whereabouts. He had to find Minghe and kill him while he was vulnerable, even if it would consume more of his Origin.

”Boom!” The Zixiao Palace trembled suddenly as though it had been attacked. Hongjun's countenance changed, and he looked up through the Zixiao Palace. There in the sky stood one man watching him coldly. Hongjun was frightened as he blurted out, ”Minghe...”

1,000 years ago beside the Star Tree of the Origin...

Hongjun's action surprised Minghe in that he originally thought Hongjun would have the entire tree. But actually, Hongjun had just picked one branch, which seemed kind of trifling.

But Hongjun's trifling action led to serious consequences. When the limit on the tree was set off, Minghe felt nothing but formidable and powerful strength. That kind of strength did not belong to someone in the Fate Realm, even not to the experts in the Half Step to the Supreme Realm.

The strength struck Minghe with the same feeling that he felt from the protective formations in the Mystery Territory of Earth. It was the strength of Supreme Realm masters. Such an attack in the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons was formidable. It could eliminate everything from human bodies and Original Spirits to Magic Weapons. Nothing could compare unless it was a Supreme Realm tactical formation.

Hongjun should have died under such an attack. However, Minghe did not think so because he knew Hongjun clearly. Hongjun swallowed the Way of Heaven by combining his body with the Tao. He would not commit suicide. He must have had a plan. Minghe felt that Hongjun would do something that no one had done before.

Though Hongjun was his opponent and had trapped him, Minghe had respect for Hongjun's sophistication. If you were not cruel and cunning, you might die on the way to the Tao. People talked about good and evil, but who were they to decide the boundary between good and evil?

Hongjun did not disappoint. He used the vital force people left on the tree to disperse the attack from the limit. Hongjun took only a little bit of the attack. Moreover, he exploded the chessboard to ward it off. Thus, he had only been slightly injured. It was the first time that someone had survived the attack of the Star Tree of the Origin's limit. If word was spread, it would shock the entire Central Region.

But Hongjun would never allow that. The Star Tree of the Origin was a valuable treasure. Even one of its branches could grow into a seedling Star Tree of the Origin. Once the word got out, he would be the target of all the forces around. Even the Sacred Sky Sect that he belonged to would hunt him down unless he handed the branch over to the sect.
