After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 161



The memories abruptly stopped.

Mu Kui always believed he was different from others.

His heart was dedicated to martial arts, never entangled in other matters.

Still, he was a human capable of gratitude and anger, but these emotions did not dictate his actions.

Before the path of martial arts, all emotions seemed superfluous.

However, at this moment, his heart was overwhelmed with emotions—anger, guilt, heartache—almost crushing him.

He found it difficult to breathe, his tears falling like rain.

He began to feel the weight of his sins.

Jiang Chen had gone through great hardships to find a Dao root for him, only for Lin Feng to reap the benefits.

That would have been bearable, but what was truly unforgivable was that he, the person involved, actually wanted Jiang Chen to join him in thanking Lin Feng!

Although it was unintentional, there was no doubt that he had once deeply wounded Jiang Chen’s heart.

He began to hate himself.

Because he had sensed something was wrong, yet he chose to leave the sect instead of helping Jiang Chen explain.

His anger was uncontrollable.

His anger was directed at himself, at others, and at the heavens!

The heavens were unjust!

People were unjust!

He was unjust!

Although it was the heavens at play, there was no doubt.

It was the people around Jiang Chen who had pushed the true Eldest Senior Brother step by step into the abyss.

In his memories, Mu Kui had once told Jiang Chen to take care of himself.

Little did he know that Jiang Chen had always been protecting everyone and caring for everyone, except he never took care of himself.

And it was this great and lofty Eldest Senior Brother who reaped misunderstandings and accusations.

Mu Kui’s sins were no less than others, in fact, they were greater.

Because he could have changed everything with a bit more thought, but he chose to flee. He chose to retreat!

“Coward! Mu Kui, you coward!!” Mu Kui cursed himself.

At this moment, his anger reached its peak.

His eyes turned blood-red again, and his mind felt as if it was being torn apart, experiencing unbearable pain.

Amidst the anger and pain, Mu Kui faintly felt that those memories from just now were becoming blurred, as if someone wanted to forcibly erase it all from his mind.

Mu Kui was unwilling.

He knelt down again, repeatedly slamming his head against the ground.

But even when the ground was smashed into a deep pit and his head was covered in blood again, the anger in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

Suddenly, Mu Kui stopped moving.

He stood up, his blood and qi surging within him.

His hair began to grow rapidly, turning as red as blood.

At the same time,

“Boom!”

A devastating aura burst forth from Mu Kui’s body.

Wherever the aura reached, vegetation withered, stones shattered into dust, and everything was easily destroyed.

Countless streams of qi and blood emerged from his pores, forming a blood garment that tightly wrapped around Mu Kui.

Below the blood garment, golden patterns shimmered, the golden patterns of the Martial Emperor Physique’s fierce bones.

Suddenly, Mu Kui looked up.

His gaze was defiant, his aura intimidating.

Seeing this from high above, Pu Jie felt a chill in his heart.

Just making eye contact with Mu Kui was enough to make him shiver.

He felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, Pu Jie felt that he was not looking at Mu Kui but at an emperor!

An emperor capable of destroying heaven and earth, who regarded him as an ant!

As he thought this, the memory seal was broken, the memories took over the body, and the Martial Emperor returned!

“Too weak!”

Feeling the power within his body, the Martial Emperor muttered.

The moment his voice fell, his aura continued to rise.

Late stage of Human Origin.

Early stage of Earthly Origin.

Early stage of Heavenly Origin.

Mid stage of Heavenly Origin.

Late stage of Heavenly Origin.

“Boom!”

The devastating aura became even denser, the qi and blood like a fiery wind as if it could burn the heavens and boil the earth.

And in the moment when the qi and blood burst forth, the Martial Emperor directly stepped into the upper four realms in a few breaths.

With a light tap of his toes on the ground, the Martial Emperor slowly floated up.

“Still too weak,” he murmured again.

This voice pulled at the blood light on his body, turning it even redder, and the golden patterns of his bones shone through his skin, making a “click, click” sound.

“Boom!”

An overwhelming blood qi surged. Enveloped in it, the Martial Emperor’s body grew wildly as the aura continued to rise.

When everything settled down, his cultivation aura had reached a level that Pu Jie could not see through, and his body had grown countless times, reaching a height of a hundred zhang.

“The… the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth! Divine Passage Realm!!” Pu Jie trembled with fear.

This was not just any Divine Passage Realm, but a body refining Divine Passage Realm!

Its combat power could even be comparable to the last mirror of the upper four realms, the Nirvana Realm!?

What did this mean?

You should know that even the Buddha Old Ancestor of the Buddha Temple was only at the Nirvana cultivation level.

In Pu Jie’s view, Mu Kui was only at the Human Origin cultivation level just a second ago, but then he became an existence that was difficult to deal with instantly.

Wasn’t this too exaggerated?

Of course, he did not know that the person in front of him was no longer Mu Kui but the Martial Emperor controlling the body with his memories.

If it weren’t for Mu Kui’s low cultivation level and weak body strength, it wouldn’t have been difficult for the Martial Emperor to increase his cultivation by a few more realms with his martial arts insight.

Mu Kui and the Martial Emperor were one and the same, yet they had two different personalities.

The Martial Emperor was ruthless, Mu Kui was kind-hearted.

The Martial Emperor was impulsive, Mu Kui was simple-minded.

Though they were one person, they were not the same.

“Crying and wailing, just like a coward! Having a kind heart, like a woman’s benevolence! Being manipulated by others, willingly! With this, how can you defy the heavens?!” The Martial Emperor roared in his heart.

These words, he said to the now dormant consciousness of Mu Kui.

He was the Martial Emperor with a heart dedicated to martial arts.

He thought that by sealing his memories, he could strengthen his martial arts insight and not be affected by this world.

However, the blank slate that was Mu Kui had his personality influenced by external forces, leading to changes.

The Martial Emperor could not resist the mysterious force in the nine cycles of reincarnation.

Still, he had other ways.

“Where is Jiang Chen?” Looking directly at Pu Jie, the Martial Emperor asked.

A simple question, yet the voice resonated like a great bell, echoing endlessly in Pu Jie’s mind and tumultuously stirring his sea of consciousness.

Pu Jie didn’t respond. Instead, he turned to flee!

But despite exerting all his strength, he couldn’t move an inch as if he was imprisoned by the heavens and earth.

“Take me to Jiang Chen or die!” the Martial Emperor spoke coldly.

At that moment, Pu Jie felt like crying.

Jiang Chen?

Monks don’t lie, and he truly had no idea where Jiang Chen was. The only foreign cultivators he had come into contact with recently were two people.

One was a demon monk from the Upper Domain with a Divine Passage Realm protector named Zhang Hu.

The other was the terrifying Mu Kui standing before him.

The Martial Emperor was hot-tempered and disliked idle chatter.

Lifting the hand that could cover the sky, he reached out to grab Pu Jie and intending to crush him to death.

Sensing the threat to his life, Pu Jie panicked and immediately crushed his Buddhist amulet.

The next second, a seven-colored Buddhist light descended from the sky like a pillar.

Amidst the murmurs of the Buddhas, a golden body as large as the Martial Emperor appeared before Pu Jie.

This golden body had thick earlobes, a flesh bun on its head, and was draped in a kasaya radiating seven-colored light.

The left hand held a huge string of prayer beads, and the right hand raised in a single palm, chanting “Amitabha.”

“Buddha Old Ancestor!”

Pu Jie quickly bowed in respect.

The Buddha Old Ancestor nodded and said to the Martial Emperor, “Donor, if you have chosen to reincarnate, you should regard your past life as fleeting as a passing cloud. Being too attached will only lead to demonic possession.”

The Martial Emperor remained silent, looking at the Buddha Old Ancestor as if he were an ant.

This caused the Buddha Old Ancestor to frown, but he still said, “Among the Ten Great Emperors, there was one Martial Emperor whose heart was solely for martial arts, yet he defied the heavens and was ultimately suppressed by the heavenly dao, forced to shatter his imperial essence and reincarnate. Donor, you are no longer the great emperor.”

Martial Emperor?!

Hearing these words, Pu Jie jumped in shock!

He had wondered why Mu Kui’s combat power had surged so drastically. It turned out he was the reincarnation of a great emperor!

But could an emperor who had shattered his own imperial essence still be considered a great emperor?

Pu Jie was skeptical.

Sensing the underlying meaning in the Buddha Old Ancestor’s words, a red glint flashed in the Martial Emperor’s eyes.

He clenched his fist and threw a punch.

This punch shattered the heavens and split the earth, its mighty force causing the winds and clouds to change. Like a towering mountain, it charged directly at the Buddha Old Ancestor.

The Buddha Old Ancestor was prepared and met the attack with his palm.

“Boom!”

The fist and palm collided, causing the air to tremble.

The shockwaves they created cracked the ground and shattered mountains, turning the area within a hundred miles into ruins in an instant.

Glancing at the cultivators fleeing in distress below, the Buddha Old Ancestor frowned.

He was not afraid of the Martial Emperor before him.

But if the two of them really started fighting, all the temples except for the main temple of the Buddha Sect would be destroyed.

As a result, countless cultivators would die tragically.

With this in mind, the Buddha Old Ancestor enveloped the entire Buddha Sect with his divine consciousness.

Soon, he found Jiang Chen in the Buddha Six Prisons.

“Amitabha.”

The Buddha Old Ancestor withdrew his hand and said, “Donor, if you wish to find Jiang Chen, you may go to the Buddha Six Prisons yourself.”

In fact, the Buddha Old Ancestor had been aware of Jiang Chen’s presence from the moment he entered the Buddha Sect.

He hadn’t stopped him because of his own status. He couldn’t act rashly over a junior.

Hearing this, the Martial Emperor snorted coldly, turned into a streak of blood light, and fled away.

Looking at the bewildered Pu Jie, the Buddha Old Ancestor said, “Ring the Buddha bell. All monks of the Buddha Sect gather at the main temple.”

“Why?” Pu Jie asked, puzzled.

“The sect war is coming.”
