Suddenly the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie turns toward his only inheriting disciple and hands her his sword.

"If I don't return, starting now you are going to be the new Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Zheng Jie was supposed to choose another male disciple first before choosing the next sect master, but this arrangement is fine. Hearing the Sect Master's serious voice, his sole inheriting disciple could only response-

"Eh?!"

Zheng Jie prepares himself for a life or death battle. Even though he doesn't know the other party's capabilities, he knows that Yan Yu must be strong. Little did he know however, that what he is going to attend is not a life or death battle. It's a PvP battle. Even so, the words and actions today has caused a lot of misunderstanding within the Nine Cloud Kingdom's royal court.

Suddenly he turns toward his old fellow cultivator.

"I'm sorry Zhang, I'm not here to pick a fight, however-" The sect master whispers something that only the Heavenly Emperor could hear. It is not known what he has said, but the color on the face of the Zhang's patriarch change.

"You- That is-"

"Anyway, take care of Lang Li for me if I don't return alright?"

Again, the words and actions of the sect master cause a lot of misunderstanding to everyone in the court.

"Wai-" The voice that calls out was of the Heavenly Queen, however at that moment, Zheng Jie didn't even give her the time of day and press "Yes" on the system interface. Again, the sect master completely disappear from view, even the other grand master could not discern the method. They only realize that the Heavenly Saint has disappeared from this world.

This action also causes a lot of misunderstanding.

"Devil cultivators?" The people in the court murmurs. Lang Li holds the sword she was entrusted with close to her heart. However, she has one question.

If her master is going out to fight, why did he leave his weapon behind!

"Slaying this devil, I don't even need my sword!" Zheng Jie murmurs after stepping out into the PvP world. Even after all his years as the peak master of the world, he has never experienced something like that.

In one moment, he lost all his senses, in the next he regains them back and the world come into view. He is sure that it isn't any transportation technique either, the law of the world seems... different to his sense.

It is like being transported to a different world, under a different Heaven.

Zheng Jie doesn't know how he should feel about that, the feeling that there is a higher force being master of his destiny. Suddenly in front of him, the words appear

"Welcome to the System Space's PvP zone. Due to the nature of the combatant, "Hyper-realistic Expert mode" was chosen. The winner will be determined after 300 rounds."

"Hyper-realistic Expert mode?" Zheng Jie murmurs. Suddenly he widens his eyes, he did not exit the Heavenly Palace at all. The sight in front of him is the Heavenly Palace itself, the place he just left, except there is no other human. The Sect Master starts doing some divination to realize the nature of this world. In less than a million of a second, he realized the words that was written as clear as day into the laws of this world.

"Mirror World"

However, if it the same as the real world than-

"Die you bastard."

Coming out of nowhere, even beyond the sect master's expectation, a blackened claw deal grievous wound to his body, only now did he feel the horrifying pressure of the Devil Path Ancestor. He did not realize Yan Yu's presence at all. But now, in his presence, the jade wall of Heavenly Palace blackened before shattering completely. If there was any other cultivators presence, they would have choke on the unnatural miasma in the air, formed by devil cultivator's specialized technique to cultivate in Hell.

It is unnatural, because it goes completely against the heavenly law. So what if the heaven has forsaken me? So what if there isn't any atmospheric Qi for me to cultivate? So what if there aren't resources left for me?

These are the problem Devil Cultivators face daily. And Yan Yu, who couldn't accept such eventuality has devised something completely different to the heaven Qi for the future generation of devil cultivator to use.

So what if the heaven has forsaken me? I will defy the heaven's law.

So what if there isn't any atmospheric Qi for me to cultivate? I will create my own Qi.

So what if there aren't any resources left for me? Myself is the most profound resources in all of the heaven and earth.

As long as "I" have "myself", no matter how much the heaven has forsaken me, I could still stand on my own two feet.

This was the method devised by the devil path ancestor of old, in order to counter the complete absent of Qi within the Hell they have found themselves, they have turned their body into something that was-

"Abominable!" The sect master grits out his teeth and immediately, Yan Yu retreated. The sense of danger formed by thousands of years of conflict prepared him for this day.

In the first place, Zheng Jie was careless. He has expected a fight while Yan Yu has prepared for an execution.

In his mind, no Heaven path cultivator can compare to a Devil path cultivator.

Born in hardship, disdained by the heaven, shunned to the Hell dimension when the Heaven and Earth could not contain them anymore. That is what the existence of Devil path cultivator truly is.

Even compared to a Heaven Path cultivator, their tribulation is worse, even if it is born from their own karma. Everything they achieve in life, they fought for it. When they cultivate they have to hide from heaven path cultivator, when they cultivate in Hell, they have to be wary of other Devil Path cultivator.

It is said that because of those reasons, every Devil Path cultivator is good at hiding. It is not that they are coward, it is that they have to live to spite the face of the world who ordain their trial and tribulation. Especially against Heaven Path cultivator whose most famous technique is their divine sense, ancient devil like Yan Yu still remember the horrible battle fought back in the old day when it was not arranged that Devil Cultivators stay in hell while Heaven path cultivators get to reap all the benefit, as if they are blessed by the heaven themselves.

Even if it was a long time ago, Yan Yu still remembers that bitterness. And how could he forgets such technique when he has ordained that one day he will escape from that horrible Hell dimension to face the Heaven path cultivator again?

It says something about the nature of the Hell dimension's inhabitants that conflicts are a daily matter. Everyday, you are expected to fight for your life against worse Devil Cultivator who has come to take your body for their cultivation resource. Even before this battle, Yan Yu was thinking about cultivating using the body of another devil in the Hell dimension, Old Devil. Because the nature of the technique devise for the inhabitants of the Hell dimension, their body and soul is the most precious resources, and that is why they are expected to fight to the death everyday. The flame of war and all the blood that was spilled was only for one reason, body cultivation resource. It was a horrible place, it was the true hell to punish the cultivator who stray down the devil path.

However, for Yan Yu, it is home. Only in that hellish place could he tempers an army to take back the world the moment he broke out of Hell.

Compare that to the Heaven cultivator who was blessed by the Heaven itself, how could they compare?

However, the moment Yan Yu finishes that thought, he has been struck down. Even though on the sect master's hand, there was no sword, at that moment, Yan Yu's heart was cut and slice open.

Even in a grievously wounded state, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect has "killed" the Devil Path Ancestor
