Chapter 1823: Dark Spirit

The six paths of Lu Yun’s nascent spirit were based off of the cultivation method in the Method of Life and Death. His wasn’t the only one—Tianqi’s nascent spirit was also one of six paths.

When Tianqi first built the six paths of reincarnation, he used his nascent spirit as their blueprint. Those were the minor six paths. With Lu Yun possessing the six hells and their meaning, those were the true six paths.

Lu Yun’s nascent spirit resonated with the six hells in the void as soon as it materialized. A Lu Yun appeared in each hell, each one identical to the young man standing outside. The only difference was that the hellfires of their respective hells burned around them.

As the six hells trembled, so did the six paths of nascent spirit. All of them resonated at the same frequency without the slightest deviation!

The six enormous hells began to meld into Lu Yun’s nascent spirit—it was more like a replica at this stage. His nascent spirit remained the Tome of Life and Death. Currently, it was as if Lu Yun had evolved the core hell just to refine a replica for himself.

He never intended to confine himself to hell. He sought so much more than just a hell dao! This was also the direction that the Tome of Life and Death led him on.

Rumble—

The six hells clashed violently with each other and swept the surroundings with stunning aftershocks. If it wasn’t for the assembled being the strongest of the fourth realm, just the ripples alone would’ve vaporized them.

“Be careful, the corpse god is here and nearby,” an ethereal female voice traveled into Lu Yun’s ears. Princess Mu lurked in the shadows. She and the ghost ancestor had been hidden all this time, concealing their presence so they could monitor everything in the vicinity.

As expected, the corpse god could hide herself from everyone but the princess and ghost ancestor.

“Mmhmm,” Lu Yun inclined his head. The two also shared the information with the others. No one visibly reacted, but they all went on the alert.

Since the corpse god could hide herself from their consciousness, that meant she was stronger than before. However, she didn’t immediately reveal herself despite arriving on the scene.

Boom!

A massive mountain peak materialized in the void and crashed down on Lu Yun.

Mount Tai!

The god of Mount Tai was here!

He wasn’t obscured in the surroundings like his dao partner—he used his full strength as soon as he took action and manifested the true form of Mount Tai. Since the real Mount Tai had long been destroyed, this was one he projected through Lu Yun’s nascent spirit observation method.

“We’ve been waiting for you, god of Mount Tai.” Pangu rose and punched the mountain with both fists.

Boom!

The projected mountain shattered, revealing the real mountain god. He looked very similar to Tianqi, but there were a few key differences between the two that were readily apparent.

Tianqi stood up as well, keeping his master’s words firmly in mind. This wasn’t his opponent, his opponent was the mountain god’s dao partner.

“Pangu, I’d show you some respect if you still wielded your big ax, but now that you’ve melted it, you’re no longer my match.” Another Mount Tai appeared beneath the god’s foot. The wails of thousands of ghosts echoed from it, as if it suppressed countless ghostly entities. This Mount Tai was the real Great Peak of the Five Hells—but just a fragmented piece.

“And you, God, you also melted your Heavenfall for a junior. You two are the greatest jokes beneath the heavens!” The mountain god was immensely displeased with what Pangu and God had done.

“I gave my treasure away as well.” Hongjun strolled forward with a smile on his face. “Only when we give unto others will we receive in kind. You have always held tightly onto the few that you have, which is why you have failed.”

“Me, fail? Hahahahaha!!” The mountain god threw his head back with uproarious laughter. “That kid is creating the origin hell in front of me as we speak. Everything is under my control. The hell is mine as soon as I kill him!

“And look at you guys. You’re injured, crippled, or just a far cry from your peak. Stop hiding, Yin Jiuying, I know you’re waiting to ambush me.” He looked in a particular direction.

Yin Jiuying padded out of the void. His face was dark and he was expressionless. He’d once viewed the god of Mount Tai as a dear friend and came to this land on account of his dying wish. But it’d all been a scheme!

He never left the Land of Reincarnation after that. He stayed, waiting for the day of the mountain god’s reappearance so he could collect on this karmic debt.

“Do you think we can’t do anything just because we’re injured or crippled?” Wahuang winked at him. “Are you not the same?”

The mountain god was also wounded. At the very least, his primary form—Mount Tai—was broken.

“Alright, enough stalling for that kid. Since you’re all here today, you can die with him!”

Whoosh!

The mountain beneath his feet trembled as strange life forms darted out of it. They were the same as the endarkened that’d once appeared in the land of darkness!

The major difference was that there were no ghosts or yin spirits among them and they were many times stronger than the endarkened. Howls and wails filled the void as shadowy figures pounced on all of Lu Yun’s allies.

They were so strong that each of them was the equivalent of a supreme! They rivaled the primary body of a supreme, and there were at least a hundred million of them!

It took only the blink of an eye for the powerhouses on the scene to be surrounded and nearly lose their lives.

“Creatures of the darkness!” roared Hongjun. “You do indeed have a treacherous heart, god of Mount Tai! You guided the dark spirits within the land of darkness to the fourth realm! The heavens will not tolerate your continued existence, you must die today!”

He flung himself forward, sidestepping all of the dark spirits.

Whoosh!

A massive hand probed out of the air and slapped Hongjun backward. The corpse god chose to show herself now.

“Though the god of Mount Tai is nothing good, only I can take his life.” She smiled and casually blocked all attacks aimed at her dao partner, allowing him to release as many of the terrible spirits as possible.

Tianqi unfurled the battle flag and summoned starlight in cascading waves. Those who’d died in battle in the primordial great wilderness awoke, starlight forming a body around their souls and sending them against the corpse god.

“Spirits of darkness from the land of darkness… dark spirits?” Moran Dongning blinked. “No wonder mother wanted me to come here with the ‘Master of Darkness’. She probably saw through everything a long time ago.”

The girl placed the mask on her face and projected a half laughing, half crying ghostly face into the void. The dark spirits crawling out of Mount Tai shuddered and scrambled back in retreat.

“The Master of Darkness!” the mountain god rasped out.
