Chapter 0: It’s Time
Within the Underworld Profound Realm.
In fact, besides Qin Gou, Wei Li was also capable of wielding many abilities of the Underworld Profound Realm. At this moment, after communicating with the Profound Realm Core, she discovered that Qin Gou seemed to be in an extremely peculiar state, which greatly weakened his control over the Profound Realm.
“Wutian!”
As two cold shouts echoed in unison, two towering Heavenless Dharma Aspects, clad in black robes, manifested.
“This is the last time I’m forced by Master Qin’s pressure. Next time, not a single second of my lifespan will be deducted!”
“You too?” another Heavenless Dharma Aspect couldn’t help but ask.
“Let’s begin!”
As soon as the words fell, the scales in the hands of the two Heavenless Dharma Aspects tilted heavily to one side simultaneously.
In the Western Heaven Realm, Xinting and Little Zhao’s auras surged, and they charged directly at the attacking Abyss Demon God together.
“Little girl, who exactly are you?” the Demon God asked Zhao Xinting of this realm.
Xinting, who had always considered herself old, was indeed just a little girl compared to the Demon God.
“Qin Gou’s eldest disciple from Arc-Moon Mountain, Zhao Xinting!” Little Zhao replied without hesitation.
“That’s good.”
The Demon God sneered, “Anyone that Qin Gou holds dear and cherishes, this Seat will remember. When the time comes, I will personally take your head to visit him!”
“With you? Useless trash.”
“Bastard, even your master Qin Gou wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant!”
“No way, Master has always had too high a moral character.”
At the same time, everyone within the Profound Realm displayed their unique abilities.
At some point, Li Yuanzhen and True Lord Zhu Xie found themselves together. After a brief exchange of gestures, a peculiar scene unfolded: True Lord Zhu Xie’s Humanoid Dharma Aspect held Li Yuanzhen’s ‘Ancestral Sword’ Dharma Aspect, giving the impression that this was how it was meant to be, that this Dharma Aspect was truly complete.
Even the Demon God immediately felt an extremely powerful might, drawing its attention instantly.
And while everyone was engaged in fierce battle.
A small figure had quietly appeared not far behind the Demon God.
This figure had concealed its aura to the utmost since the beginning. Coupled with its small size, it resembled a cute little black dog, and not many people had noticed it.
However, at this moment, the little black dog transformed in an instant, first into Wu Ti Yue wearing a small black dress, and then took control, completely becoming Luo Wei Ban’s form and unleashing a full-power attack on the Demon God.
“Do you really think this Seat didn’t notice?”
In an instant, an extremely bizarre face grew on the back of the Demon God’s head. It opened its mouth and spat out a sharp beam of cold light, instantly hitting Luo Wei Ban.
“Pfft.”
Blood gushed out.
Luo Wei Ban was smashed to the ground, a large patch of blood staining her chest. Her right arm, used for blocking, was no longer able to move.
“Didn’t I already tell you? That move of mine locked onto the souls of you and Qin Gou. So, no matter how thoroughly you, Luo Wei Ban, planned, or how clever your little trick was, I would have sensed it immediately. Moreover, while your Dao Body’s ability to conceal its aura is good, its overall strength is truly pathetic compared to your true self.”
The bizarre, large face continued, “Luo Wei Ban, in fact, the reason this Seat deliberately left your Dao Body here is so that you can personally witness how all your and Qin Gou’s close friends and family are so easily slaughtered by this Seat!”
“Cough, my true body is currently breaking through your blockade to return with all its might, and Qin Gou is doing the same!” As she spoke, Luo Wei Ban, still not giving up, immediately took a healing spirit medicine. If her true body were truly nearby, these injuries would not require medicine at all; they would be instantly restored by the massive amount of spiritual power of her Saint Monarch true body.
“Ridiculous! I truly didn’t expect you to still be clinging to illusions. Do you even know what that invisible wall is?”
The Demon God sneered repeatedly, “That is the Wall of Time and Space, obtained in my homeland with the power of countless beings from an entire realm… Originally, it could have preserved countless lives and been used to mend the heavens! Now, it’s being used carelessly to deal with you two ants. Can you possibly escape? What a foolish delusion!”
“Mend the heavens? Wall of Time and Space? How could such a precious item fall into the hands of a scoundrel like you?”
“Originally, it was meant for this Seat to use,” the Demon God scoffed. “But this Seat has now come to your world, hasn’t it? Without a place to be used, I’ve naturally kept it.”
“You, so in that case, the realm you originally came from…”
“I already told Qin Gou about this matter not long ago. Didn’t he have time to tell you?”
The bizarre face’s eyes were sinister, “A shattered cocoon, only I alone have spread my wings and become a butterfly!”
“One hundred years to break through? What a joke!” Qin Gou exclaimed in disbelief.
“Ding. This system’s words are by no means false.”
“That’s only based on my current cultivation, right? As long as I can continue to break through, I will definitely be able to change this.”
Qin Gou’s eyes sharpened. “I must return quickly, without any delay! A Xi, what cultivation level is needed to break through this Wall of Time and Space?”
“Ascension to Immortality,” the system replied with two clear words.
Qin Gou’s pupils trembled slightly. “Alright, since I only have this one ‘option’ left… A Xi, use all the merit points I currently possess to directly empower me.”
“Ding!”
In an instant, Qin Gou’s aura surged at an astonishing speed.
“Not enough.”
At the same time, due to the obstruction of the Wall of Time and Space, Qin Gou’s connection with the Profound Realm became extremely weak, to the point where he couldn’t control it. It was only now that he finally sensed a trace of spiritual power fluctuations within the Profound Realm. Clearly, on the Demon God’s side, the real battle had already begun.
“These Emperor Weapons and rare artifacts I’ve collected over the years, I’ll also exchange them all for merit points to empower me… It seems it’s still not enough?”
Not long after.
“Ding. Host’s merit points are depleted. If further empowerment is needed, the host is requested to continue to severely punish evil people in the world.”
“I’m trapped in this accursed place, where else can I go to punish villains for you?”
Qin Gou let out a wry smile, then shook his head, looking in the direction where the Demon God and the others were. He suddenly nodded slightly, his eyes firm. “In that case, it seems it’s time.”
“Yes.” The system replied without hesitation.
“What? Old Pal, you seem to understand what I mean?” Qin Gou smiled knowingly. “Do you have to understand me so well?”
“The host has prepared for this moment for a long time. Indeed… it is time.”
“A Xi, is it my imagination? Your voice is actually trembling.”
Old Qin smiled kindly. “Don’t be silly. This isn’t your fault. Don’t I know you? If you could help directly, you would have definitely opened a backdoor for me long ago.”
“Ding…!”
“Alright, I can’t afford to delay any longer.”
As he spoke, Qin Gou condensed an incomparably sharp dagger in his palm.
“I can’t find ordinary villains now, but the infamous Demon Master, whose notoriety spans two realms, is readily available.”
