Chapter 2822: King Fear
The world returned to silence.
The gigantic shadow in the darkness gradually faded. Against the impolite request of the Martial Dao Prime Body, Brahma Ghost Mother did not give an answer.
She merely replied that he was quite bold before leaving quietly.
However, all the ghosts knew that having no answer was the best answer!
The Void Yaksha knelt on the spot in a daze and unknowingly broke out in cold sweat.
A long time later, he heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was saved. Even now, he felt that it was unreal.
Beneath the Nine Nether Abyss, Rakshasa Kutadanti stood up and turned to look at the Martial Dao Prime Body deeply before leaving.
She was not the only one. All the ghosts could tell that Brahma Ghost Mother’s att.i.tude towards the Martial Dao Prime Body was clearly different.
Perhaps it was because of his ident.i.ty as the Lord of h.e.l.l or some other reason. In short, although the Martial Dao Prime Body was a human from the medium chiliocosm, no one in the entire Ghost World dared to provoke him anymore. The corpse of the Yaksha Emperor earlier on was still warm!
From top to bottom of the Nine Nether Abyss, the ghosts dispersed one after another.
The Martial Dao Prime Body returned to the sky above the abyss. Not far away, the Void Yaksha was still kneeling on the spot with lingering fear, as though he had yet to recover.
The Martial Dao Prime Body arrived above the abyss and looked at him calmly without saying a word.
The Void Yaksha seemed a little helpless and lowered his head slightly, not daring to meet the gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body with an ashamed expression.
The human before him had saved him from the prison of Bitter Springs h.e.l.l, but he had ulterior motives.
And now, this human saved his life once more!
“I, I…”
The Void Yaksha stammered, not knowing what to say.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said slowly, “You’ve already died once earlier on.” The Void Yaksha nodded instinctively.
If not for the Martial Dao Prime Body’s request earlier on, there was no way Brahma Ghost Mother would let him off!
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “Follow me from now on.”
“However…”
Suddenly, the words of the Martial Dao Prime Body changed. His eyes were deep as he glared at the Void Yaksha with a burning gaze and did not continue. The Void Yaksha seemed to understand something.
He took a deep breath of air and pierced his glabella with his fingertip, releasing a wisp of his soul. He lowered his head and raised it with both hands, handing it to the Martial Dao Prime Body.
“Thank you for giving me a new life, Master. If I harbor any ill thoughts in the future, my soul shall be completely destroyed by the world!”
The Void Yaksha chanted a secret incantation and the wisp of soul condensed into an imprint in the void before gradually fading and disappearing.
The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded slightly. “Since you’re following me, I’ll bestow you a t.i.tle.”
It turned out that the Void Yaksha was called Ugly Slave.
Such a lowly name could not be considered a t.i.tle at all. It could only be considered a name.
“Please grant it to me, Master.”
The Void Yaksha kowtowed once more.
The Martial Dao Prime Body waved his robes and wrote the word ‘fear’ on the ground beneath his feet. He said slowly, “From now on, you will be King Fear.” “King Fear?”
Looking at the word in front of him, the Void Yaksha was at a loss.
The Martial Dao Prime Body, “I hope that in the future, you’ll be fearless.
However, you’ll be able to instill fear in others.”
“Fear…”
The Void Yaksha murmured softly and his eyes gradually lit up. He revealed his malevolent ghost form once more and grinned excitedly. “From now on, I’m King Fear!”
Compared to Ugly Slave, King Fear was naturally much more pleasing to the ears.
Naturally, the Martial Dao Prime Body had long made plans to plead for leniency for the Void Yaksha because he valued his capabilities.
Tianhuang Sect had the Seven Emotions Fiend Generals of Joy, Anger, Grief, Fear, Love, Hatred and Desire.
Among them, there was Joy Monk Ming Zhen, Immortal King Heavenly Wrath Feng Cantian, Grief Flute Fiend Gu Tongyou, Love Zither Fiend Qiu Siluo, Hatred Asura Yan Beichen and Demoness Ji who represented Desire.
There had never been any suitable candidate for Fear.
Back then, the moment the Martial Dao Prime Body caught sight of the Void Yaksha, he had already considered this.
Not to mention the Void Yaksha’s capabilities, his appearance alone was terrifying enough.
If he could return to the medium chiliocosm successfully, the Martial Dao
Prime Body might not head to the Heavenly World.
His first destination was still the Great Wilderness!
At this point of his cultivation, the Martial Dao Prime Body was already confident enough to head to the Great Wilderness to look for Die Yue.
However, he was still worried about Tianhuang Sect.
Tianhuang Sect did not have a strong foundation and only Feng Cantian was an Immortal King expert. Furthermore, he was only an ordinary Immortal King who had condensed a minor Grotto-heaven and had a shallow foundation.
The main reason why he subdued the Void Yaksha was because he wanted him to head to Tianhuang Sect and be the strongest combat strength to guard it!
Given the methods of this Void Yaksha, unless it was a quasi-Emperor or an Emperor realm expert, there was nothing to fear!
In reality, the Martial Dao Prime Body had many questions in his mind.
Perhaps only Brahma Ghost Mother could give him an explanation.
For example, the ‘he’ mentioned by Brahma Ghost Mother previously.
For example, legends of the major chiliocosm, what was going on with the existence of the Six Paths, what was the catastrophe that happened in the medium chiliocosm, and so on…
As a Great Emperor, Brahma Ghost Mother definitely knew many ancient secrets.
However, Brahma Ghost Mother did not appear for the next three days.
In fact, the Martial Dao Prime Body had not even seen the appearance of Brahma Ghost Mother. He could only roughly guess from her voice that she was an old woman.
The Martial Dao Prime Body had asked King Fear before. However, even he had never seen the true appearance of Brahma Ghost Mother!
Three days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Brahma Ghost Mother’s voice sounded once more.
“Get ready to leave.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body was invigorated.
He was pushed down the dry well by the tomb keeper and entered the dark h.e.l.l World. He pa.s.sed by the Netherworld and floated in the cycle of reincarnation for an unknown period of time before entering the Ghost World.
Now, he was finally returning to the medium chiliocosm!
An invisible force suddenly descended. The Martial Dao Prime Body tried to break free and realized that he could not defend at all. This meant that Brahma Ghost Mother must have stepped in personally.
Under the guidance of that power, the Martial Dao Prime Body and King Fear pa.s.sed through layers of s.p.a.ce and arrived at a pitch-black and strange beach. The Martial Dao Prime Body frowned.
It was dark ahead and the gentle breeze emitted a humid aura.
This should still be in the Ghost World and they had yet to leave.
As though he sensed something, King Fear looked at the darkness ahead and murmured, “The River of Life is ahead.”
Splas.h.!.+
As though in response to King Fear, the sound of water came from the depths of the darkness. An incomparably tall phantom rose slowly from the river and emitted a terrifying aura!
It was just a simple action and the entire world seemed to be unable to withstand it and trembled slightly!
Brahma Ghost Mother!
The Martial Dao Prime Body focused his gaze and tried his best to see the phantom clearly, but he could not see anything.
The phantom waved her palm gently and an ancient altar made of white bones and stained with blood gradually appeared on the beach not far away.
“Go on up.”
Brahma Ghost Mother’s voice sounded again.
The Martial Dao Prime Body stood on the altar without hesitation.
If Brahma Ghost Mother wanted to harm him, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
King Fear hurriedly followed.
A mysterious and strange incantation sounded from the direction of the River of Life.
“Hmm?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat.
The words sounded familiar, as though they came from the same source as the words of the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra and Nine Springs h.e.l.l Sutra!
Before he could think further, the white bone altar swayed and released streaks of blood light, forming a gigantic blood-colored beam that reached into the clouds. It tore through the darkness and enveloped the two of them before disappearing..
