Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 549 - 549 568 Chaos Arena

549: Chapter 568 Chaos Arena 549: Chapter 568 Chaos Arena The Daoist in yellow was originally known as the Netherworld Daoist.

His true form was that of a Ghost Immortal from the Underworld, a personage who had attained the Dao in the Primordial Era.

His cultivation of the Netherworld Immortal Scripture was utterly distinct from the other Ghost Immortals, and his Netherworld Water could extinguish a person’s Primordial Spirit and transform one’s physical body, making him a dreadfully terrifying figure in the Underworld.

The towering man clad in dark light and wearing an Emperor’s Crown had an even more imposing origin.

He was one of the Five Ghost Emperors, known as the Eastern Ghost Emperor, Shen Tu.

His mastery of the Ghost Path was matched by few in the Three Realms.

As for the mysterious young man in black, no one knew his background.

It was only known that after the Sealing God Tribulation, this young man in black emerged out of the blue, fought a battle with the Peacock Great Bright King, Kong Xuan, and, despite being ultimately defeated and retreating, made a name for himself in that battle, earning the title of Sword Demon from various mighty figures.

And as for the last one, the old Daoist in white, his reputation was significantly greater.

He was one of the two vice hierarchs of the Chan Sect, and furthermore, a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, known as the Southern Extremity Immortal Elder.

Hearing Peng Demon introduce the origins of the four individuals, a sudden understanding flickered in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

No wonder the Southern Extremity Immortal Elder looked at him so unfavorably—it was clear that he had slain too many people from the Chan Sect.

Being a member of the Chan Sect, how could the Southern Extremity Immortal Elder show him any pleasantness?

Had it not been for their presence in front of Nuwa Palace, the Southern Extremity Immortal Elder would likely have demanded justice from him.

Ye Xuan now understood the origins of the four, but the one who interested him the most was the young man in black, for he was actually from the Witch Clan.

Although he had hidden his aura flawlessly, Ye Xuan’s cultivation of the Undying Immortal Scripture, which also contained many Witch Clan’s secret techniques, allowed him to penetrate the Sword Demon’s true identity with a single glance, thanks to his sensitivity to qi signatures.

Boom!

As Ye Xuan was lost in thought, the gates of Nuwa Palace suddenly rumbled open, and a palace maid walked out from within, causing the area outside the palace to abruptly fall silent, with everyone focusing their attention on her.

“The Goddess Nuwa decrees that tomorrow at chen time, a contest will be held at the Chaos Arena to seek a son-in-law.

Whosoever claims the preeminent place shall have the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden as wife.” Having said this, the palace maid re-entered Nuwa Palace, but the landscape around them suddenly transformed, with various pavilions and palaces appearing—a temporary resting place for the great figures with Divine Powers.

Though these thousands of potentates were all renowned, they had no privilege to enter Nuwa Palace, for it never allowed men within—such was one of the palace’s rules.

Swish!

One after another, the potentates entered the pavilions and palaces to await the grand event the next day.

Invited by Peng Demon King, Ye Xuan and another walked into the nearest palace.

Star Palace.

This was the arena where Ye Xuan currently resided.

Peng Demon King briefly chatted with him before standing up to take his leave, clearly expressing his interest in witnessing the Immortal Extinguishing Sword of the Heavenly Sect Master, though he was gently refused by Ye Xuan.

Not until Peng Demon King had left did Ye Xuan sit cross-legged in the center of the arena, with an enigmatic smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

He could finally confirm that Peng Demon King intended to borrow the Immortal Extinguishing Sword, which was also the purpose of his approach.

Of course, with his profound and unfathomable cultivation, Peng Demon King was quite amiable toward Ye Xuan, but that did not mean the king was incompetent.

On the contrary, this Peng Demon was entirely capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the four individuals Ye Xuan had previously encountered.

If Ye Xuan was not mistaken, Peng Demon King’s visit to Nuwa Palace was likely not solely for the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

“Quasi-Saints leave no trace, while Daluo gather together; this occasion is becoming more intriguing,” Ye Xuan murmured softly, a trace of hostility flickering in his eyes.

One might ask, having taken such great lengths to attend this grand event at Nuwa Palace, was Ye Xuan’s sole purpose truly to wed the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden?

As mentioned earlier, Ye Xuan treated women merely as tools for use; the so-called affection did not exist in him in the slightest.

Ye Xuan was to marry the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, firstly because this woman had already been claimed by him, and as a man, Ye Xuan would never allow any other man to lay even a finger on the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

The second reason was that the Heavenly Court was newly established but still lacked a Queen Mother, and this was also why Ye Xuan had to marry the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, as only she could gain the faith of all beings in the Three Realms, and only her identity could assume the position of the Queen Mother.

The third reason was that the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was a disciple of Nuwa, and as his Cultivation gradually increased, he would inevitably have to confront the six great Saints between Heaven and Earth; marrying the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden also connected him with the Saint Nuwa.

As for the last reason, it was also the most important one.

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was of Innate Taoist Body, and in the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth, her integration with Ye Xuan was seamless, which enabled him to break through to the Daluo Fourth Layer Heaven in one fell swoop.

To see a piece and know the whole, if he could cultivate the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Dao with the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden for an extended period, his Cultivation would rise rapidly.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had a vague premonition that if he wanted to step into the rank of Quasi-Saint, perhaps the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was the key.

To prove the Dao with power, the Saint of Saints, this was an unprecedented path, to break the limits of this Heaven and Earth, to transcend beyond the Three Realms, and to become a Saint above the Heavenly Dao, that was Ye Xuan’s ambition.

This path was treacherous and rugged, and perhaps one false step could lead to death and the disappearance of his Dao; however, Ye Xuan had walked this path alone, with neither friends nor family by his side—all buried in the earth, which also resonated silently with the law of heartlessness.

To forget higher things in transcendent indifference, to kill in Heaven and Earth, to kill not just formidable enemies of the world, not just those who block the way, but perhaps even to kill those closest to him, so he could achieve Supreme Cultivation.

…

The next day, at Chen hour.

Dong——Dong——Dong.

Eighty-one consecutive bell sounds rang out, pavilions and palaces gradually faded into nothingness, the Taixiao Starry Sky was shaking thunderously, and a swath of Chaos Light Beam poured down, causing the space-time of this world to suddenly change.

Hum!

Star Shifting, time and space transformed, countless great stars stretched across the starry sky, the vast Star Sea churned violently, and in the deepest part of the Star Sea, a Holy Light blossomed gently, as if it was the only thing in Heaven and Earth.

Saint Nuwa!

She showed neither face nor might, as if she didn’t exist in Heaven and Earth—silent, infinite, the sanctity of Heavenly Dao was fully revealed within her.

Rumble!

A beam of light shot from the depths of the Milky Way, bright as the Dawn Light that made it impossible for one to open their eyes.

When the light dissipated, a Chaos Arena, spanning millions of miles, emerged.

Immortal Light rained down, Daoist chants rumbled, this Chaos Arena was made from White Jade Crystal Stone and had extremely mysterious runes engraved on it, giving those who looked upon it a sense of profound weight.

Dong——Dong——Dong.

Lilies bloomed from the void, Daoist chants rumbled, and a stunning figure walked across the starry sky.

She wore a pure white gown, her hair in cloud-like buns, her eyes bright as the stars.

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, the Goddess of the Three Realms; her presence in the center of the Chaos Arena brought a sudden stillness to all the Great Divine Power wielders, mesmerizing many who couldn’t help but gaze at her.
