Chapter 463: Pursuing Fiendcelestial Empyrean Lord

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Three months later .

In the boundless sea of stars outside the fiend world .

“I want to see who it is that foiled my plans . ” Fiendcelestial Empyrean Lord Kuifu led more than ten Skyfiends as they flew to the periphery of the fiendcelestial world . Not long after they flew into the void–

“Stop!”

Empyrean Lord shouted . The Skyfiends under him carefully surveyed their surroundings in shock .

“Come on out . ” Empyrean Lord stared into the distance .

“Whoosh . “

A figure appeared in the distant void before splitting into two . The two figures were identical in appearance .

One of them was a purple-robed Daoist while the other was a blue-robed Daoist . Both of them were Ancestral Master Zhang .

“Whoosh . ” Streams of lightning flew out of the purple-robed Daoist and went in every direction . They were the twelve Lightning Godfiends, who had floated around them with lighting sparking across their bodies . All of them had stout bodies and coldly stared at the Empyrean Lord and his Skyfiends .

“Empyrean Lord, long time no see . ” The purple-robed and blue-robed Daoists spoke in unison .

“It’s you . The Great Chang world’s Daoist Divine Firmament?” Kuifu scanned his surroundings and laughed . “What happened? There’s only you, a second Essence Soul, and twelve Capital Heaven Godfiends? You plan to deal with me using only that?”

“Precisely . ” Ancestral Master Zhang nodded slightly .

“It looks like you are filled with confidence after breaking through to the sixth firmament Skyimmortal realm . Perfect . I happen to be a sixth fiend Skyfiend myself,” said Kuifu with a faint smile . “Let me see how powerful you Daoist Green Touring Palace disciples are!”

Kuifu was confident but the Skyfiends that accompanied him were extremely nervous .

Ancestral Master Zhang’s true body and his second Essence Soul bellowed simultaneously, “Come, lightning!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Instantly, thousands of bolts of lightning gathered and tore through the starry cosmos .

The twelve Lightning Godfiends formed an array formation and, with his own body as a catalyst for the Divine Firmament Dharmic powers, he guided the lightning forces through the void . Instantly, thousands of terrifying lightning bolts struck down, turning the region into a sea of lightning! Kuifu was left stunned . He quickly conjured his Skyfiend Dharmic powers to protect his subordinates but, amid sizzling sounds, the barrier formed by his Skyfiend Dharmic powers was torn apart by the surging lightning bolts .

“Ah!”

“Save me!”

“Empyrean Lord!” These Skyfiends were panicking as they tried their best to resist . However, they were pulverized by the sea of lightning . Even if more than half of them cultivated their bodies, none of them could withstand the terrifying lightning .

The surroundings calmed down .

The lightning emanated, leaving Kuifu with not even a single subordinate around him . His face took on an ugly expression .

The strongest thing about him was his physical body . A layer of sanguine light enveloped the surface of his body, allowing him to resist the lightning .

“What an impressive lightning array formation,” said Kuifu through clenched teeth . “Ordinary fifth or sixth firmament Skyfiends would be dead if trapped inside it . “

“Empyrean Lord, you are a child of a huge family clan in the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss . You cultivate in a great divine power and, in terms of strength, you can match the eighth to ninth firmament Skyfiend realm . How can this bit of strength injure you? All I did was rid us of those Skyfiends so we could face each other in quiet . ” Ancestral Master Zhang’s true body and avatar remained very calm .

Kuifu’s expression changed .

Daoist Divine Firmament was still so confident despite knowing his strength?

“There is talk that Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure’s newly-recruited disciple, Daoist Divine Firmament, is extremely weak . Despite cultivating for thousands of years, he remains stuck at the third firmament Skyimmortal realm,” said Kuifu . “I never expected you to be keeping a low profile all this time . The last time I saw you, you vanquished many of my guardians, exposing your strength to be that of a sixth firmament Skyimmortal . Your present strength is nearly at the ninth firmament . Why have you been keeping a low profile despite having such mighty strength?”

“It was not me keeping a low profile,” said Ancestral Master Zhang with a smile . “It’s quite embarrassing, actually . Just a few years ago, my strength was indeed only that of a sixth firmament . “

“You became that much stronger in a few years? Do you think me a fool?” Kuifu sneered .

“It’s precisely because of your threat that I was forced to use the Myriad Dharma Pool ahead of time . I was lucky to be able to get to my present state,” said Ancestral Master Zhang . “Empyrean Lord Kuifu, I can spare you this time as long as you answer my question honestly . “

Kuifu frowned . “You think you have what it takes to kill me? As for the question, why don’t you just say it?”

“Empyrean Lord, why did you pay such a tremendous price to occupy my Great Chang world?” Ancestral Master Zhang looked at him .

Kuifu’s heart jolted .

The reason… was his greatest secret!

“Hahaha, do I need a reason for conquering a world?” Kuifu scoffed . “I’m a Skyfiend . The more worlds I conquer, the more the Heavenly Dao bestows upon me . “

“Back then, the Boor Ancestral Sect array formation had only been in its nascent state . If you had set it up completely, the price paid would be ridiculous . You even sent more than a hundred fiendcelestial guardians despite lacking the confidence just to maintain that sliver of hope,” said Ancestral Master Zhang with a smile . “You can honestly tell me there’s no special reason even though you were willing to pay such a heavy price?”

“I’m a fiend . I do whatever I want . ” Kuifu scoffed . “I’ve given you the answer . I wanted to conquer your world so I attempted the conquest . That’s all . Do you still want to continue this fight?”

“Empyrean Lord, you really think of me as a fool . Fine, since you wish to die, I will fulfill your wish,” said Ancestral Master Zhang .

A Dao talisman phantom appeared behind his actual body .

As for his second Essence Soul, a huge seal appeared in his hands .

“Go . “

The purple-robed Daoist cast lightning while the twelve Lightning Godfiends aided him . The Daoist phantom condensed a bolt of lightning that contained a nebulous aura of Chaos . It was released with its horrific and cold might .

“Go . “

The blue-robed Daoist threw out the huge seal which expanded as it flew out . It transformed into a tiny mountain as the seal became covered in dense lightning patterns . On it were the tiny, faint words—”Lightning Division Five Three Envoy . “

Empyrean Lord’s expression changed drastically upon seeing this turn of events . “Chaos Divine Lightning? The Heavenly Courts’ Lightning Division’s supreme-grade Numinous treasure seal? Shit!”

…

This terrifying bout continued for a few moments .

“Boom!” Empyrean Lord’s body was severely injured by a blow and he was trying hard to recover from it .

“I have already said that you can be spared if you answer me honestly . ” Ancestral Master Zhang shouted .

“Hahaha… I already told you but you refuse to believe me . “

Kuifu roared with laughter . “Daoist Divine Firmament, you are truly ruthless . I never expected you to force me to do this . “

“Time to leave . “

Suddenly, a blob of white mist rose and enveloped Empyrean Lord . His body began to dematerialize as his figure turned faint .

Sou!

He quickly charged out the twelve Lightning Godfiends’ barricade . His speed was so fast that even Ancestral Master Zhang’s Lightning Dharma, which he was most adept in, was far from comparable . Kuifu escaped far into the distance . Without the repression of the twelve Lightning Godfiends array formation, Kuifu engaged in Void Transference and completely vanished .

“Darn it . “

Ancestral Master Zhang’s expression turned nasty . “I never expected him to have something so rare . He actually managed to escape my array formation . “

“He is willing to use such a precious item to flee for his life rather than tell me his reason for conquering the Great Chang world . ” Ancestral Master Zhang’s expression turned heavy . “It looks like there’s real trouble brewing . “

“However… I’ll kill as many fiendcelestials as they send to the Great Chang world . ” Ancestral Master Zhang flicked his sleeve as the twelve Lightning Godfiends transformed into streams of light and entered his body .

Whoosh .

Ancestral Master Zhang and his second Essence Soul were immediately covered in a blurry light as they rapidly departed .

******

That day in the Great Chang world . Grand Dominance City’s Qin Manor .

Qin Yun sat across from Ancestral Master Zhang while Yi Xiao sat at their side, pouring their tea .

“You failed?” Qin Yun was alarmed . “You failed to kill that Fiendcelestial Empyrean Lord, Kuifu?”
