Chapter 1023: Chapter 1042: Right on Schedule
Demon Ancestor Luo Hou sat cross-legged above the starry sky, his voice continuously echoing in Li Youyun’s ears, occasionally sending bolts of Heaven and Earth Demon Thunder crashing down upon Li Youyun.
“Master, rest assured, Youyun will surely cultivate the Red Dust Battle Body and will never bring shame to you, my esteemed master.”
Li Youyun walked in distress, as bursts of Daluo golden light erupted from his body. A thousand years later, he unexpectedly stepped into the realm of Daluo Nine Layer Heaven, such cultivation speed was simply astonishingly fast.
“I must tell you, a thousand years later will be the day of your duel with Lin Feiyun. If you die at Lin Feiyun’s hands, I will definitely kill your pair of children. Whether for yourself or for your children, you cannot afford to lose this battle.” Luo Hou said coldly.
“I will not be defeated! I will definitely kill Lin Feiyun and also slaughter Ye Xuan.” Li Youyun shouted hatefully, causing the surrounding starry sky to tremble.
“Good, I will wash your body with the Nine Heavens Weak Water. If you can withstand the washing of the Nine Heavens Weak Water, then you will surely be able to condense the Red Dust Battle Body.”
Boom!
Nine Heavens Weak Water howled through the starry sky, instantly submerging Li Youyun. That black terrifying corrosive force continuously eroded every inch of his flesh, causing Li Youyun to scream in agony amidst the Nine Heavens Weak Water.
“One thousand years, still one thousand years!”
Luo Hou gazed at the suffering Li Youyun, whispered, “Ye Xuan, only after a thousand years will our real contest begin, you better not disappoint me.”
…
At the same time.
Yama’s Underworld, Eighteen Layers of Hell.
“Ah!”
A series of piercing wailing sounds echoed as Lin Feiyun wailed miserably within the rolling magma, his flesh corroded by the magma, his surface cracking like a spider web.
“Lin Feiyun, you have a thousand years left, and you haven’t even stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm. You truly are a waste.”
Above the magma, Gu Beichen and the plump yellow companion stood side by side, Gu Beichen holding a black long whip in hand, streaks of thunder flashing on the whip, lashing towards Lin Feiyun with his swings.
“Ah!”
This was the Divine Beating Whip, which was specifically used to strike immortals and gods. Each lash inflicted tremendous pain upon Lin Feiyun.
Of course, Gu Beichen and the plump companion wouldn’t let Lin Feiyun die. In their hands, they had the Golden Core Peach bestowed by Ye Xuan, which was enough to heal Lin Feiyun’s wounds.
Eighteen Layers of Hell.
Lin Feiyun had been brought to the Eighteen Layers of Hell to cultivate for a thousand years. During these thousand years, he experienced a fate worse than death daily, alternating between cultivation and frenzied cultivation because a thousand years later would be his duel with Li Youyun. So he told himself he must not lose.
“Following the master’s orders, after tomorrow we will take you into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. You will spend the remaining thousand years within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If you cannot endure it, you will perish within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.” Gu Beichen said coldly.
“Brothers, rest assured, Feiyun will not let the master’s expectations down, and will surely step into the Quasi-Saint Realm.” Lin Feiyun roared amidst the sea of magma.
“Remember, you absolutely cannot lose this battle after a thousand years. If you lose, your soul will scatter, never to reincarnate.” The plump companion spoke chillingly.
“Feiyun remembers, I will definitely kill Li Youyun, and will not lose to him.” Lin Feiyun roared repeatedly, the Undying Immortal Scripture violently operated.
…
Time flows like water, fleeting, eons passing, like a blink of the eye!
Another thousand years passed, the Three Realms, Heaven and Earth, remained calm and untroubled, but in the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven within the Heavenly Venerate Palace, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
Boom!
Ye Xuan’s eyes were like the ancient heavenly vault, his Dharma Eyes penetrated the Three Realms, wisps of the power of space-time coiled around him. His cross-legged figure slowly stood, the gates of the Heavenly Venerate Palace rumbled open as Ye Xuan strolled outside.
Heaven and Earth silent, the myriad laws quiet.
As Ye Xuan walked out of the Heavenly Venerate Palace, stars shone above his head, star rivers surged through the starry sky, and streaks of divine thunder roared in eruption.
“Luo Hou, the three-thousand-year term is fulfilled, I am awaiting you in the Heavenly Court.” The Three Realms trembled, spirits trembled, Ye Xuan’s voice echoed through the Three Realms, Heaven and Earth.
In an instant, the group of immortals and demon kings within the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven looked at each other in surprise, even Ziwei, who presided over the Heavenly Emperor Palace, changed expression.
Above the Nine Layer Heavens.
Luo Hou stood with hands behind his back, dressed in black, Li Youyun bowed beside him. After three thousand years of endurance, Li Youyun finally stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm and cultivated the Red Dust Battle Body.
“Disciple, this battle is up to you.” Luo Hou spoke indifferently.
“Master, rest assured, your disciple will kill Lin Feiyun and will not disappoint your nurturing grace.” Li Youyun bowed to Luo Hou.
“Good, let us go.”
Luo Hou smiled slightly, a black cloud rose beneath his feet, carrying Li Youyun towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.
Before the Heavenly Venerate Palace.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void, his entire being appeared ethereal and uncertain. The Heaven and Earth around him subtly warped, and through the passage of two thousand years, he appeared increasingly unfathomable, his cultivation nearing the peak of the Heavenly Dao Fifth Tribulation, only a step away from the Heavenly Dao Sixth Tribulation.
“Master!”
Whoosh!
Three streaks of light shot from the distant horizon. As the three rays dissipated, the plump companion and the others appeared, with Lin Feiyun bowing before Ye Xuan.
“Not bad, stepping into the Quasi-Saint Realm within three thousand years, you have not disappointed me.” Ye Xuan looked at Lin Feiyun lightly and said.
“Without master’s diligent nurturing, there would be no Lin Feiyun today. In this battle, I will kill Li Youyun, and will absolutely not disappoint master.” Lin Feiyun spoke gloomily.
“Lin Feiyun, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue, today I will see who kills who.”
Boom!
Overwhelming dark clouds spread, and amidst the vast dark clouds, Luo Hou was walking towards Ye Xuan, with Li Youyun as the speaker.
“Ye Daoist, it has been long since we last met, I have missed you dearly.”
Luo Hou walked towards Ye Xuan, and Li Youyun looked at Ye Xuan with extremely red eyes. That intense hatred seemed tangible.
Sadly, Ye Xuan completely disregarded Li Youyun’s glaring stare, he looked at Luo Hou calmly and said, “Daoist Luo Hou is indeed formidable, overcoming the Red Dust Five Tribulations. It seems that besides Hong Jun, only you are qualified to be my opponent within these Three Realms.”
“That is exactly what I wanted to say.” Luo Hou smiled slightly and then looked at Lin Feiyun, saying, “However, today is not about you and me, but about their battle. How about we just be spectators?”
“I do have that intention.” Ye Xuan nodded lightly.
Boom!
The Thirty-Three Layered Heaven trembled as Ye Xuan summoned the Celestial Stars Formation. This realm transformed into a starry sky spanning thousands of miles, where the resplendent stars continually shone.
“This Celestial Stars Formation is your battleground, only one of you can walk out alive.” Ye Xuan spoke calmly.
“Li Youyun, crawl in here and die.” Lin Feiyun grinned fiercely, stepping into the Celestial Stars Formation.
“Lin Feiyun, today I will make your soul scatter and perish.”
Li Youyun entered the Celestial Stars Formation, the two stood opposed within the formation, terrifying auras rising from both, and an epic battle was about to commence.
