“Help me out!” Lonemoon had no choice but to turn around and beg for help from Shen Ying .
Without any hesitation, Shen Ying picked up Chef – who was still trying to climb up her body – and ran to Lonemoon"s side . She grabbed Bai Ze"s sword with one hand and twisted her wrist, flinging it to the ground .
Lonemoon quickly activated his immortal Qi and hit both Yi Qing and Bai Ze on the back of their necks . At the same time, he conjured pa.s.sing out spells so that both of them fell down unconscious .
“Sect Master! Elder!” Shortie pointed toward the front in a panic .
The two of them turned around just in time to see a big patch of white light in front of them . Very faintly, they could see an army of figures .
That array has made its way here! That was quick!
Lonemoon quickly turned around to Hongyu . He saw Hongyu ascend the Reincarnation Stage . There were strange arrays all around him . The pearl that he used to control Bai Ze and Chef was now floating in the middle of the Reincarnation Stage, emanating a blinding white light . Inside it, there seemed to be an explosive force that was threatening to break out of the pearl .
“Everybody"s remnant souls must be in there . He"s trying to explode that spirit pearl!” Lonemoon"s face drained of all colour as he exchanged looks with Shen Ying . At the same time, the both of them rushed over to Hongyu .
Lonemoon immediately activated all the sword Qi in his body and waved his sword at Hongyu, who had been setting up an array . Hongyu sensed a great blow of sword Qi charging toward him and flicked his hand so that his G.o.d Power dissipated Lonemoon"s sword Qi at once .
“I"ve already said – you cannot stop me!” Hongyu"s expression darkened .
Lonemoon smirked and pointed in front of him . “I can"t, but she can!”
Hongyu turned around to see Shen Ying already standing on the Reincarnation Stage . She reached out for the floating spirit pearl and carried it off the stage .
“How can this be!” Hongyu exclaimed . Finally, his facial expression showed a hint of rage . “Put that spirit pearl down!” Suddenly, wind blades filled the sky, each one of them pointing toward Shen Ying .
“Shen Ying, take care of the spirit pearl!” Lonemoon shouted .
Shen Ying was just going to retaliate when she paused, turned around and retreated a couple of feet .
The wind blades flew down from the sky and landed around the Reincarnation Stage . The array immediately darkened so that even the great red array that covered the Underworld seemed to flicker .
Lonemoon"s eyes brightened as he said, “Shen Ying, the array near the Reincarnation Stage – that big red one outside – destroy it!”
Shen Ying did not hesitate . Holding the spirit pearl in one hand, she clenched her other fist and dealt a blow to the ground . There was a loud crash and the array began to crack . The cracks quickly spread around the array, causing the red light to become fainter and fainter . The cracks continued even onto the ground, breaking apart the layers of arrays . Then… the Reincarnation Stage cracked apart .
Shen Ying: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
Hongyu: “…”
“Er… Father Niu, if I said I didn"t do it on purpose, would you believe me?”
“Believe your a.s.s!” Lonemoon suddenly felt an uncontrollable urge to strangle her . “You"re a freaking spy, aren"t you?” It was bad enough that she cracked the ground . Why did she have to break the Reincarnation Stage? She must be in the same league as Hongyu, wasn"t she?
But all was still fine – the Reincarnation Stage cracked but it had not fallen apart .
Crash…
The crashes echoed all around as the ground began to shake violently . Before Shen Ying had the chance to retract her fist, the cracks on the ground began to open up about a metre wide . The gap was headed straight toward the Reincarnation Stage .
Holy s.h.i.+t! Holy s.h.i.+t! Holy s.h.i.+t!
Whatever he imagined was coming true . Lonemoon turned pale . We"re done for, done for, done for…
“Father Niu, hand me your sword . ”
“Huh?” Lonemoon was still cursing under his breath .
Shen Ying s.n.a.t.c.hed his sword and turned around, running toward her right . She gripped the sword tightly in her hand and stabbed the ground with it, causing another loud crash .
A bigger crack appeared on the right and as it spread, it stopped the cracks that were headed for the Reincarnation Stage . The ground around the stage became stable again .
Lonemoon heaved a huge sigh of relief . d.a.m.n it, he was nearly scared to death .
“Elder, Sect Master!” Suddenly, another panicked cry sounded .
The two of them turned and their eyes widened . “Shortie!” They had not noticed when Hongyu s.n.a.t.c.hed Shortie onto the Reincarnation Stage . “What do you want?”
“The spirit pearl is gone . This girl"s soul is special – it can also be used to ruin the Reincarnation Stage . ” Hongyu smiled at the two of them, as if he had achieved something big . He immediately jumped into the Reincarnation Stage with Shortie .
“Shortie!” Lonemoon screamed . It was too late for him to rush over . The two of them had already disappeared into the Reincarnation Stage . There was a flash of golden light . Lonemoon"s heart seemed to stop . Hongyu must have done this on purpose . He did not even need the spirit pearl to destroy the Reincarnation Stage . He wanted to use Shortie"s soul all along .
“What should we do? Shen Ying, can you see Shortie?”
“I can"t!” Shen Ying shook her head . Suddenly, she recalled something . “Father Niu, do you have the pearl that contains Shortie"s remnant soul?”
“Yes, but-”
“Throw it in!”
“What?”
“Hurry!”
Lonemoon retrieved the spirit pearl that he had and threw it into the Reincarnation Stage . The next moment, there was a loud crash . The Reincarnation Stage started to fall apart inch by inch . The golden light from within it looked like it was being blown in all directions . It flew around in specks and slowly darkened, like fluorescent light .
Lonemoon stared blankly at the specks of golden light all around him . His face fell . “Shortie, she"s-”
“She"s back!” Shen Ying interrupted .
“What?” Lonemoon paused . But Shen Ying was already turning around to see where the golden specks were flying to .
He followed her gaze and found that the fluorescent light that became dim earlier was bright once again . What"s more, it was flying higher and higher, reaching out in all directions . The Underworld that had reduced in size because of Hongyu"s array was no expanding once again .
All around were the golden specks of light . It was almost like a flood – it could not be stopped . Lonemoon finally understood why Shen Ying said that the Underworld was too bright the last time . It was indeed very bright . As he looked up, he saw that the entire Underworld was covered in the golden light . It looked like an unending sea . The only black shades were the Yin River, which ran across the horizon here and there .
This is… the River of Forgetfulness? It was not the Reincarnation Stage, but the entire Underworld?
Lonemoon was still in a daze . Suddenly, the view in front of him changed . The golden sea turned into blue seas and skies in a blink of an eye .
This is… the ancient G.o.ds" divine territory?
“Sect Master, Elder Lonemoon,” a familiar voice sounded behind them .
Lonemoon turned around and saw a familiar figure walking toward them from not far away . She was wearing a beautiful smile .
“Shortie!” Lonemoon"s heart jumped . It was great – she was fine! He was just about to walk forward when he heard Shen Ying"s voice .
“Meng Po . ”
“…” What?
