Who was this person trying to protect Supreme G.o.ddess?
Someone recognized Feng Feiyun - the master of a sect in the capital. He shouted in astonishment: “Him! No wonder, no wonder…”
Others didn’t know Feng Feiyun and asked their seniors.
“He’s a monster, the one who carved the G.o.ddess.”
“He turned into a devil because of her and ma.s.sacred many people. He’ll do anything for her.”
“Oh, I know, he’s the demon’s son who crucified Violetsea King and defeated the two walkers from Senluo. A Supreme Giant at twenty, virtually peerless.”
Those in the capital became excited, especially the young ones. Many considered him to be a role model, a goal of sorts.
Some female disciples were his fans as well. Their eyes flashed brightly; their cheeks turned red. Seeing him in person left their heart fluttering.
The avatar turned into a ghastly maelstrom, large enough to engulf the buildings nearby. Some Giants were frightened and forced to the ground.
However, Feng Feiyun didn’t even blink once. A Buddhist light surrounded him and purified the incoming energy.
“Brat, I knew you were nearby. I guess I’ll kill a Historical Giant today.” The avatar didn’t care for Feiyun. It even ate the national spirit beast of Jin, let alone one brat.
He was nothing more than a mosquito!
A ghost claw came out of the maelstrom and twisted the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
Feiyun chuckled and threw out the coffin. Runes appeared on the surface like awakening totems. It released ma.s.sive evil energy and smashed the claw.
“Boom!” Boulders flew everywhere; the formations nearby crumbled. The shrine was trembling violently.
The coffin returned and floated above his head. Its evil energy billowed like a black cloud.
He looked like a great devil, standing proudly against the gigantic maelstrom.
He wasn’t strong enough to activate the coffin’s strongest power. However, the coffin has become a spirit treasure with a high-level spirit inside.
This spirit was able to kill the first Venerable of Yang, meaning that it was extraordinary. It didn’t need the help of its master to become powerful enough and contest against this avatar.
“Peakless Lord, you can’t kill me with one avatar. You’re far underestimating me.” Feiyun’s voice was filled with Buddhist energy and caused the area to quake.
He had two different auras - one as holy as a Buddha while the other as nefarious as a devil.
That was only the first exchange to scout each other yet the area was in shambles. More than a hundred formations were destroyed, unable to withstand this high-level duel.
The avatar looked up and showed at the sky, turning into a gigantic phantom wearing a black robe with messy long hair.
A black fog descended with unreal strength.
The coffin flew out again. A boundless vitality from within dispersed and turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y ocean.
This ocean condensed into the form of a b.l.o.o.d.y giant. The two beings began fighting.
Everyone could sense the abominations fighting each other. They were forced down on the ground, unable to move.
The sect masters had a hard time standing up as well. They tried their best but eventually dropped down to their knees.
“Rumble!” The phantom and b.l.o.o.d.y abomination looked like two legendary monsters fighting each other, destroying the formations and palaces nearby.
They were evenly matched.
Yao Ji didn’t make her move and stood next to Feiyun, cautious of Long Jiangling.
She knew that these two had an irreconcilable feud. This was a trap meant for Feiyun so the empress might make her move soon after forcing him out.
Meanwhile, Supreme G.o.ddess floated in the air with auspicious signs around her. She watched Feng Feiyun but her eyes had no sign of emotions.
Feiyun glanced at her before looking away: “I don’t think Long Jiangling dare to move against us two given the current situation of the capital. Let’s suppress this avatar first.”
“Very well.” Yao Ji stretched out two fingers. A strand of ghost energy flew out from the tips as she whispered: “Ghost Sacred Bottle.”
The bottle flew out with energy circling around it just like a black hole. It started sucking the souls from the avatar.
The avatar became increasingly weaker. It howled and wanted to attack Yao Ji, only to be deterred by the stone coffin.
Yao Ji was able to use the bottle to its fullest potential. She continued forming seals with her fingers, allowing the bottle to potentially suck in an entire world.
Feiyun thought that she was quite strong but hid it too well in the past.
The bottle was a hundred times stronger when used by her - truly a top artifact for suppressing evils and stranges.
They finally suppressed the avatar and trapped it inside the bottle.
“Haha, I know who you are! Yin Mother! You ran out of the Yin World because of me yet you dare to oppose me now? Fool, once my true body comes, it’ll be your funeral, you too, brat.” The voice of the avatar came from inside: “This bottle can’t refine me!”
“What the h.e.l.l, who are you?!” Suddenly, it was startled.
“Keke…” Yama’s laughter could be heard.
The bottle started shaking violently. The two ent.i.ties inside have begun fighting.
“The bottle can suppress them, not refine them.” Yao Ji completely sealed the bottle but knew that refining them was impossible.
“Wait for me.” Feiyun flew up to face Supreme G.o.ddess, staring at her intensely. Such a familiar face.
Supreme gave him a strange feeling right now but all of this was gone the moment he lay eyes on her. He remembered how Nangong Hongyan was incinerated to death.
“Follow me.” His voice became a bit hoa.r.s.e as he raised his hand.
The G.o.ddess stared cautiously at him before turning into a ray and moving through the barriers to leave the capital.
She had some strange powers allowing her to bypa.s.s the barriers.
Feiyun frowned - this G.o.ddess didn’t trust him. He waved and the coffin broke through the barriers in order to give chase.
“It’s strange indeed.” Yao Ji didn’t tag along, only watching the two of them.
She chose to fly into the shrine instead and didn’t see Long Jiangling inside.
On the other hand, there were words written on the wall.
“Supreme protects the heart.” This same line filled the walls and contained a ma.s.sive imperial aura, clearly written by Long Jiangling.
She was trying to understand the words left behind in the prophecy. They originated from watching the changes in the heaven.
Normally, it was difficult to understand the entire line. People got the Supreme part easily but not the next. However, Long Jiangling was comparable to Scholar Heaven Calculating and began seeing the possibilities and meaning of the entire line.
Yao Ji has been contemplating this issue when Long Jiangling brought Supreme G.o.ddess to the previous fight. Because Feiyun was an involved party, his mind wasn’t as clear.
She could finally see the main issue now, “a type of dao heart cultivation using the soul.”
She felt something ominous because this was from the sixth chapter of the Dao Scripture.
“A magical merit law, even better than the Yin Yang Cultivation chapter…”
“No wonder why she dared to challenge all three at the same time and came back unscathed. So this is what she’s cultivating. But this soul must be… This is bad.” Yao Ji flew out of the shrine and turned into a fog to give chase in the night sky.
