The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 314 Blood of Law

“I... I can’t just die like this!” Lyu Liang suddenly raised his head. Although he was still weak due to his triggering the Divine Mark, suddenly a tremendous aura burst forth from him. The next second, he drew out the Kunwu Sword and started to wave it toward the invisible barrier behind him.

Seeing that Lyu Liang was still fighting desperately with the cultivation of the Tao Master, Kong Liang was stunned. He felt that Lyu Liang should have died inside already, after the series of misfortunes that befell him.

In fact, when Linglong triggered the Ominous Darkness Soul Kill Array, Lyu Liang did want to die for a moment. But then his strengthened Taoist Heart, as well as Linglong’s last words aroused a strong desire in him to live, from deep inside his heart!

Shangguan Ying was still waiting for him to remove that ice bound that would last 10,000 years...

Su Qiao’er reminders were still ringing in his ears. He would be sure to go and find her, and help her get her memory back...

His mother, Xuanli Yue, had been taken away by Blade Shenhuang. He had to try his best to bring his mother back during his remaining years...

Since he came to the Nether Big World, he had come across a lot of weird things, and was like a puppet being maneuvered. How could he simply choose to die before figuring out everything that had happened to him...

With so many thoughts in his head, Lyu Liang was much more eager than ever to live.

While Kong Liang was still stunned by his actions, he had already waved his Kunwu Sword, trying to break down the power of the Space Prison. After that, he would flee to the north as fast as possible! He instinctively felt that there would be the biggest bargaining chip inside that fog shining with golden light, for him to survive.

“Even if you’ve come around, it’s still too late! You’ve already been imprisoned, unless you are like the milord Shenhuang and also capable of... What!” Kong Liang’s voice suddenly broke, as he discovered that Lyu Liang, who was supposed to be incompetent at the moment, had managed to scratch open the barrier by waving his sword slightly once. Then after a few instantaneous flashes in succession, he was gone already!

“Tearing the space and the shadow of the Space Cleaving Power... This man has to die!” Kong Liang was at first startled, and then his entire body shone with a black light. On his way to chase Lyu Liang, he crushed a Talisman for transmitting voices and said, “Gather up all the capable fighters in the Dark Reign, and bring them to the junction of western and northern parts to kill Lyu Liang!”

...

“Did master have the same feeling like me that year... when he saved senior Feiwu?” As Lyu Liang was flying rapidly, he was experiencing the urge to break the barrier, which felt unbelievable, even to himself.

At that moment, with such a strong desire to live, he waved the sword with all his strength! He remembered that he had experienced an unexpected overwhelming aura when breaking the barrier. However, before he figured that out, there were ripples shining in front. Then a crack suddenly appeared. That was a golden opportunity and Lyu Liang seized it. He temporarily put everything behind himself and quickly fled through it.

However, 30 minutes later, the aura of several cultivators at the peak of Supreme Master could be felt, and there were even a couple of Tao Ancestors among them!

Just as Lyu Liang was less than 100,000 feet away from the fog in the junction of the western and northern parts, he made a sudden stop, and then turned around to fly in another direction! At the same time, a black crack appeared on the spot where he was supposed to be before. After the time of two breaths, the crack disappeared.

“You’re still so alert in such a dangerous condition... You really want to live, don’t you? I’m Zangetsu Saint God from the Hell Organization, and will be the one to terminate your life here!” A calm voice arose, and the figure of the bearded man emerged at the spot where the black crack appeared before. He was holding the Space-Tearing blade, a divine weapon that was exclusively owned by Wu Yingzhao in the past!

He was also no longer at death’s door, but had the vigorous aura of the God Ancestor instead. Lyu Liang had no intention to confront him at all.

Lyu Liang was not in the mood to find out the reason, as he was in despair again. However, he also knew that he should not give up so easily!

Unfortunately, even when Lyu Liang let out the Spirit Swallowing Bugs, there was still a huge gap between them. Zangetsu Saint God came near in a split second and immediately hacked at him. Then Lyu Liang felt that his Divine Soul being smashed. Everything around him grew dim, which would usually happen when one was dying...

“I... just die like this... I don’t want to die...” Lyu Liang closed his eyes naturally. Even with a strong desire to live, he had no more strength to fight, and fell into a void of endless darkness at last...

...

After a time, Lyu Liang suddenly recovered consciousness. A cluster of vague blue lights continuously stimulated his eyelids, as he tried to open his eyes with a mighty effort.

“This... The ancient temple! This is the ancient temple where I’ve been before! Ying’er!!!” Lyu Liang was confused at first, but when he recalled what was in front of him, he was struck with wonder and his eyes opened wide. The sealed memories flooded him at once!

At this moment, he was in the yard of the ancient temple in a high mountain. That was the place where Lyu Liang had his opportunity to survive the fourth Death Test, when he went to the Ghost Realm with Feng Li!

He had gotten rid of countless black-robed men there, and finally reached the top. Then he entered the ancient temple, inside which he saw Shangguan Ying, who was dressed in palace clothes, and carrying a simple oil lamp in her hand.

At that time, Lyu Liang was so happy that he forgot all about the so called opportunity. He had missed her so much, and they lived happily inside the ancient temple for a long time.

One day, he felt dizzy and passed out. When he woke up again, he was already in the Ghost Realm, and did not remember anything that had happened, after he entered the ancient temple...

Although he had often tried hard to recall the previous experiences, he always failed. Then he gradually forgot about it, as time passed. He never expected that he would come to the temple again at this time of death!

“Have you recalled everything? Husband, welcome back...” Shangguan Ying’s long-lost voice emerged. Her yearning to meet him could be heard in her tone, as well as a sense of teasing.

Lyu Liang turned around quickly, finding that the door of the ancient temple was already open. Shangguan Ying dressed in green palace clothes, slowly walked out.

Lyu Liang hurriedly walked to her, but then he suddenly stopped. The excitement on his face faded away. He asked softly, “You... are not my Ying’er... Right? What is going on between us... before?”

After hearing that, Shangguan Ying started to shed tears. She stepped forward to give Lyu Liang a light hug. While burying her head in Lyu Liang’s arms, she sobbed, “You can come here again with a clear-head... It seems that you’ll totally forget about me soon...”

Lyu Liang was stunned and suddenly realized that his yearning for Shangguan Ying had disappeared already. The tears on the face of the girl in his arms made him feel really sad. He knew she was not the real Ying’er, but did not want to push her away, either.

Moments later, Shangguan Ying left Lyu Liang’s arms, and her aura became totally strange to Lyu Liang, at the same time. She still had tears on her face, but had a mighty look, just like a powerful figure. Then she said softly, “It’s the first time I am introducing myself so formally... I’m Donghuang Ying from the Donghuang Family in the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa, and also the Great Emperor Wood in the Seven Luminaries Emperors. Of course, my body in this place and your ice-bound Ying’er are both Divided Souls of the real body.”

“What?” Lyu Liang was really shocked at the time. A lot of things were connected by him in a split second. He hurriedly asked, “That year, the voice in the civilization remains in the Chaotic World, was that also you? You and the Freedom Immortal Emperor are...”

“That is also a Divided Soul of the real body. She was there to be the final guardian for the spell, together with the Freedom Immortal Emperor and Ancestor Tongtian.” Donghuang Ying continued, “The Freedom Immortal Emperor is my father, and also the head in the Donghuang Family. His name is Donghuang Chongyang. And you also saw my uncle, Donghuang Chongyun, but you are enemies. He is the white-robed man of the Hell Organization in the battlefield that you’ve seen before.”

Lyu Liang’s mouth was opened wide in surprise. A tougher question that was even more difficult for him to accept, came into his mind. Opening his mouth, he just could not figure out a way to say it.

“Do you want to ask if everything that has happened between you and Shangguan Ying is real?” Donghuang Ying was very smart. Seeing his face turning purple, she already knew what he was thinking. Then she asked again, “What do you think?”

Lyu Liang started to recall everything that he and Shangguan Ying had experienced together after they met...

Their first meeting in the trial field of the Sword Character Immortal Palace... Clearing the air in the Xianfu Teahouse and going steady with each other... Fighting side by side in the Martial Arts Contest... The desperate saving in the Land of Origin... Fighting fiercely in the Kunlun Mountains to save her... The vow that they had made before being icebound for 10,000 years...

Lyu Liang’s confused eyes gradually became firm. Later, he nodded resolutely and said, “I don’t know why you are doing this, but our love is true! Donghuang Ying is Donghuang Ying, and Shangguan Ying is Shangguan Ying. My Ying’er can only be Shangguan Ying! And now she is being icebound. I don’t know if I can make it to the end, but once I survive this, I’ll be sure to go to the Heaven Realm to get the Eternal Heaven Fire, and get her out! My long-cherished wish in my life is also to live in a land of idyllic beauty with my Ying’er. Then we will live happily ever after!”

Donghuang Ying listened to him, and tears again streamed down her face. Lyu Liang wanted to wipe away her tears, but the minute he stretched out his hand, he felt at once that it was inappropriate, so he just left his hand hanging there, having no idea what to do next.

Donghuang Ying also smiled and said, “You’re such an idiot. I’m also Shangguan Ying, okay? And besides, we’ve made love so many times, how come you are so shy today?”

“I... I...” Lyu Liang stumbled. Donghuang Ying again hugged him and wiped her tears with his clothes, which made Lyu Liang feel so embarrassed. He said, “That’s... still some difference on some level...”

“I like you being a spoony...” Donghuang Ying murmured. Then she raised her head and stared at him, saying, “Don’t worry. Your Ying’er has never changed! Like you said, everything between you two is real. Your love is true and pure. The only flaw is that the real body intended to use you as a pawn at first, but, she fell in love with you before anything else.”

“What’s going on? I really want to know. If you want to use me, I bear no grudges! Because of the relationship between Ying’er and me, and also your kindness to me when I was being sealed, I’m willing to do anything for you!” Lyu Liang was very curious. Even when he heard that she regarded him as a pawn, he did not get upset at all. Anyway, that was not the first time for him to be treated like that.

After hearing that, Donghuang Ying admired him more. She just said softly, “Do you remember the battle in the Pan Gu space about more than 100,000 years ago? Countless powerful figures in the Emperor Level were sealed deep inside the universe together with those giants, after they used the array unit for sealing that could seal them all. Our Donghuang Family and the Seven Luminaries Emperors joined the battle.”

“You were not sealed then? Well, yes, I used to deal with several of you guys before... Right, there is still something...” Suddenly, Lyu Liang realized that he had forgotten something very important about the Seven Luminaries Emperors, or could it be that the memory was sealed, too.

Donghuang Ying continued, “You only need to know that our brother tried desperately to keep the six of us from being sealed, but we had to store our real bodies in an enclosed secret space, since then. Although the misfortune happened, we just could not accept the result! We did have absolute confidence of victory during that battle, but a series of weird events occurred successively, which directly led to the sealing method afterwards...”

Lyu Liang thought that might be a conspiracy, so he narrowed his eyes and asked hurriedly, “What weird events? The battle scenes I used to see were very violent. Weren’t you forced to use the sealing method at that time?”

At that moment, there was a murderous look in Donghuang Ying’s eyes. She sighed deeply, “What you saw were just the last recorded images! Before we started the battle, the cultivators of the Human Clan in the Pangu Origin world should have the absolute advantages, as they even had as many Civilization Mecha as our opponents! But, before the two vital battles began, someone leaked our plan out. That made the two sides evenly matched afterwards!

“What?” Lyu Liang’s eyes also became sharp. A traitor was the kind of person that he hated most in his life!

“We wanted to find the cause, but the top leader in the Pan Gu space was inclined to accept the sealing method proposed by the Gongsun Family.” Donghuang Ying’ voice trailed off. She sounded a little sad. “Many powerful figures in the Emperor Level were not willing to do that, but they had to obey the top leader, and started to assist in the sealing method that was harmful to both sides. Although the six of us were not sealed at that time, our real bodies had already been affected by the power of the Law of Heaven, and could not enter the general world... So, we finally decided we had to break the spell that was made with that conspiracy. Get our powerful figures in the Emperor Level out. Next, we’ll make a thorough investigation about what happened that year, and find the traitor. Then we will finally have a fair fight with the rest of those giants!”

“I understand. So your doppelgangers came down to try and find a way to break the sealing method? I’m a pawn... That means I’m also part of your plan to break the sealing method, right?” Lyu Liang was very smart and understood that at once. Then he was suddenly enlightened and said, “Yes. I just did not notice that the two spells in the Chaotic World and one spell in the Pangu Origin world had all been broken. And I was involved in both events...”

“Yes. And now, only the core spell in the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa has not been broken...” Donghuang Ying did not finish, and looked at Lyu Liang expectantly. She was also feeling very complicated, as she knew that what she wanted him to do, would make him cross the line...

At this moment, Lyu Liang totally understood what she was thinking about. He patted her shoulder lightly, and said with a confident smile, “Maybe I’m not capable to do that now, but once I survive this disaster, I promise I’ll definitely go to the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa one day and try to break the last spell, creating an opportunity for those powerful figures to have a fair fight with the enemies!”

“Thank you! Thank you...” Donghuang Ying sobbed again, but she was quite relieved at the moment.

“You’re also a girl given to tears just like my Ying’er... Well? What is that?” Just as Lyu Liang was about to tease her a little bit, he suddenly felt his Divine Soul weakening, as if he was about to pass out again.

At the time, Donghuang Ying hugged him tightly and said hastily, “When you were together with Shangguan Ying that year, a drop of blood of law was lodged in your body. What is blocking you when you came up the mountain before, is just the shielding power that seals the blood of law. You rushed through it, and so you triggered the blood, which died for you once. And you came back just now. That means you’ve died once. Right now, the time limit for the blood of law is about to be reached. You’ll go back outside in peak condition. Remember, so long as you run into the fog, you will have passed this Death Test already!”

It was time again to bid farewell to her. He felt so sad when he recalled Donghuang Ying’s words “you’ll totally forget me soon”. He tried his best to stay calm and held her tightly, saying, “What do you mean when you said I’ll totally forget you? What about Ying’er? Will she also be forgotten by me...”

Donghuang Ying nodded and seemed unwilling to say goodbye to him, “Everything about Donghuang Ying will be completely gone in the Mortal World, with the disappearance of the blood of law. And even nobody will remember them ever. Shangguan Ying will no longer exist in the Mortal World, and her past will also vanish into the air...”

“Then how could I remember Ying’er once again? I can’t accept that I’ll totally forget her!” The feeling of faintness grew stronger, but Lyu Liang was trying desperately to stay awake. He had to get the answer!

“After breaking the spell in the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa, you’ll naturally remember everything then. What’s more, you and Ying’er will be together forever!” Donghuang Ying was still there, but her voice was becoming fainter and fainter, “Ying’er is waiting for you... to remember everything between us...”

After her words, Lyu Liang was unable to stay awake anymore. Before he passed out, he already had a determination deep inside his heart, “I must break the spell in the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa!”

...

At the same time, in the Zhuque Territory of the Demon Realm in the Pangu Origin world, Saintess Dongfang Xiaoyu, who had already reached to Middle-stage Tao Master, suddenly frowned. The maid beside her asked hastily, “Milord Saintess, what’s bothering you?”

“What’s bothering me...” Dongfang Xiaoyu was taken aback by the question. She had indeed been lost for a while, but at that moment, it disappeared already. Something very important seemed to have slipped her mind, but the thing was also kind of unreal...

At last, she shook her head and said with a smile, “Nothing, I might have recalled something about someone again... Let’s go. Don’t make the two Fierce Emperors wait for too long. Brother Zhu is not here, so I have to do the honors for him!”

Then they continued to head forward, while talking and smiling. Dongfang Xiaoyu did not notice that inside the ice engraving in her cave residence, Shangguan Ying with her eyes closed ,disappeared together with the ice engraving, after giving out a drop of clear tears...
