NOVPUBThe Evil God couldn’t comprehend, only horrified by the energy behind Xu Zimei.
He understood even less how such a transcendent being, beyond the Great Emperor, could exist in the Yuan Central Continent.
Logically speaking, after advancing to a Great Emperor, if one wanted to further progress, they must go to the Heaven Beyond Heavens!
Bai Meng raised his head, slightly frowning.
Above in the sky, thunderbolts were flashing, with a red terrifying thunder brewing at the center.
It seemed eager to deliver the killing blow to him.
The "crackling" sound of exploding thunder gathered overhead.
Bai Meng knew that this was because he had forcefully broken through his tenth Vein Gate, violating the rules of this world.
Unless he went to the Heaven Beyond Heavens, the Heavenly Dao would bring down the Heavenly Punishment to annihilate him.
"My lord, give me a quarter of an hour; I will deal with this thing,"
Bai Meng said, pointing at the Heavenly Punishment above.
Xu Zimei nodded, watching Bai Meng leave.
In his heart, there was always this feeling that Bai Meng was getting closer and closer to his mission.
Perhaps one day he would leave.
Xu Zimei also knew that he must become stronger quickly.
His gaze was fixed on the Evil God beside him, who was completely immobilized and could not move at all.
"Do you wish to be annihilated?" Xu Zimei asked indifferently.
"It’s all up to your single thought," the Evil God said with a bitter smile.
At this moment, he had already lost the imposing image of the colossal being he had been before.
He reverted to that pale-faced, sickly looking young man.
Having one’s life and death in the hands of another wasn’t a pleasant feeling.
Long ago, he had experienced it once.
His race had been exiled.
And now, it was happening again, more severe than before, almost leading to their annihilation.
"The existence of your race inevitably requires more bloodshed, and this also means that killing will never cease,"
Xu Zimei said indifferently.
"Hand over everything your race possesses.
I will leave a portion of your bloodline, not enough to annihilate it.
It can be allowed to proliferate."
The Evil God was silent for a moment and finally said, "I will give you everything.
And I swear I will never step out of the Exile Lands for the rest of my life.
You let all of us leave, how about that?"
"Agreed," Xu Zimei nodded slightly.
"Really?" The Evil God seemed astonished; he had spoken with a probing intent.
He hadn’t expected Xu Zimei to agree so readily.
"I only want my things, as for other matters, as long as you Bloodthirsty Evil Clan don’t trouble me, it’s none of my concern," Xu Zimei said indifferently.
"As for the people of the Ancient Realm, I will tell them the truth.
Those who want to leave can go to the outside world.
Those who want to stay can decide for themselves."
"Thank you," the Evil God fell silent for a moment, finally thanking Xu Zimei.
"There’s no need to thank me; actually, I originally thought to kill you all for some peace," Xu Zimei said shaking his head.
"It was Bai Meng who pleaded for your sake, asking me to spare you."
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the Evil God was slightly startled.
Clearly, this was unexpected for him.
In truth, Xu Zimei was not lying; Bai Meng had indeed pleaded.
Although Xu Zimei did not understand why Bai Meng had pleaded, he decided to let the people of the Bloodthirsty Evil Clan go.
...
With the suppression seal canceled, the Evil God waved a great hand, and the space in front of him was torn apart.
A Spatial Gate appeared around him.
The Spatial Gate pulsed with waves, and it was unclear where it might lead.
"Inside this detached space are all my collections," the Evil God said.
"You can take whatever you want; even if you empty it, it does not matter."
Xu Zimei stepped into the Space Gate, not fearful of any trickery from the Evil God.
Once he entered the independent space, his vision became constrained.
This independent space was indeed not very large, medium-sized at best.
Directly ahead were several grand halls connected to each other.
In them, weapons, Vein Skills, Cultivation Techniques, and some extraordinary items were all separated.
Xu Zimei walked into the grand hall, finding very few items that greatly attracted him.
The hall had seven layers in total.
Xu Zimei proceeded directly to the seventh layer; compared to the rich variety of the other six layers, the items here were much fewer.
Among them, Xu Zimei found the Nine Regions Grand Body and the Heavenly Dao Crystal Stone he needed.
The Nine Regions Grand Body was a sky-blue bead.
It was divided into nine sections, each inscribed with nine different patterns.
It looked incomparably mysterious.
The Heavenly Dao Crystal Stone, however, was something that Ancient Nether needed.
In the beginning of the Epoch, at the dawn of Heaven-Splitting Earth-Dividing, it was the first crystal stone formed from the Heavenly Dao.
This Crystal Stone had a grand origin and significant use, but it was somewhat dispensable for Xu Zimei.
The Crystal Stone required specific items and conditions to be used.
After securing these two items, Xu Zimei glanced over the other few items.
Among them was one that could be considered an unexpected joy.
It was exactly what Chaos required.
"Breaking Immortal Soul!"
He had always been preparing for Chaos’ advancement into the Immortal Ascension Boundary.
The other three main herbs were already complete, only this Breaking Immortal Soul was yet to be found.
Unexpectedly, he found it here today.
After taking it, Xu Zimei left the grand hall and stepped out of the Space Gate.
He took some important items but didn’t strip the place bare.
After all, many things there were indeed useless to him.
...
"Go," Xu Zimei said to the members of the Bloodthirsty Evil Clan, gesturing slightly with his hand.
The Evil God and the nine Evil Generals bowed to Xu Zimei and finally shattered the void to leave far away.
"The Destiny of this world must be carried by you.
What a tragic era for the Talented Disciples!"
Before leaving, the Evil God muttered to himself.
The residents native to the Ancient Realm, who witnessed the events in the firmament, were observing closely.
People guessed privately, not daring to draw a definite conclusion.
It wasn’t until a thunderous shout resonated in the skies, the voice echoing in everyone’s ears.
"The lies of the Ancient Realm are debunked today.
You are but livestock raised in a cage,
and what you call the Ancient Realm is no more than a Sealing Ground.
Should anyone wish to understand the real world, leave the Ruins Forbidden Land.
The exit is there.
But I must warn you, the outside world is far more dangerous and spectacular than this."
As Xu Zimei’s voice died down, the entire Ancient Realm erupted into commotion.
For them, perhaps this moment was indeed the collapse of their worldview.
The perceptions they’d established since childhood made it hard for many to accept at once.
Some might have had doubts before, but most people were actually still in the dark.
The heroes who were Law Enforcers instantly became man-eating Demons.
Xu Zimei didn’t concern himself with that, believing he had done all he could.
In fact, the life and death of these people had nothing to do with him.
Now wanting to leave with the items he had obtained, Xu Zimei prepared to depart from this place.
Soon after, Bai Meng approached from afar, traversing the air.
His aura was somewhat unstable; the recent Heavenly Punishment had indeed caused him some hindrance.
There were faint traces of fresh blood on his Blood Robe.
