Chapter 1617: Son of Heaven Yin's Death

"Forty-two years later?"

Qin Fengqing revealed an expression of anticipation. Even though his younger brother Qin Mu always gave off an unreliable look, in his heart, Qin Mu was the most reliable and dependable person. He was even more dependable than his mother.

Qin Mu said that in forty-two years, Founding Emperor would appear on the World Crossing Golden Ship, so Founding Emperor would definitely appear!

'This existence that saved Founding Emperor is truly remarkable beyond belief…'

Qin Mu muttered, "His paths, skills, and divine arts also make me gasp in admiration. There's actually such a powerful existence in this world? Why did he save Founding Emperor? There's also the Hall of Chaos. This name seems to be similar to the names of Numinous Sky Hall, Purple Firmament Hall, and Grand Hall. Could he be a certain young master of Miro Palace? In that case, he should be a young master worth befriending…"

His gaze landed on Southern Heaven's battle, and he discarded all distracting thoughts.

Below, Son of Heaven Yin suddenly cast a spell and bowed towards Celestial Venerable Huo!

That was the Youdu divine art that Son of Heaven Yin was most skilled in, and it was used to worship the souls of others to death. Being worshiped by one would usually cause the souls of people with higher cultivation to split into pieces and transform into black soul sand!

Celestial Venerable Huo still stood there, steady as a mountain, receiving Son of Heaven Yin's bow.

The instant Son of Heaven Yin bowed, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. There was actually a Dao fire burning furiously in his soul!

This Dao fire followed his divine art and ignited his soul at an extremely fast speed!

Son of Heaven Yin hurriedly executed his divine art to defend against the Dao fire, but it was too late.

He could only throw himself into Mingdu Heavenly Gate and borrow its power to reincarnate, borrowing the reincarnation to extinguish the Dao fire.

The instant he flew out of Mingdu Heavenly Gate, he had already transformed from a man into a woman. However, Celestial Venerable Huo's Dao fire continued to burn along the cycle of reincarnation, continuing to burn at his soul!

Son of Heaven Yin was astonished and hurriedly reincarnated again.

His Mingdu Heavenly Gate should be called the Reincarnation Heavenly Gate. Every time he passed through this gate, he would be reincarnated. Bai Yujing, the reincarnation he had designed to harm South Deity, would pass through the Mingdu Heavenly Gate every time she died and reincarnate into another person. This was the reason.

Of course, Mingdu Heavenly Gate had more than that.

Son of Heaven Yin had passed through Mingdu Heavenly Gate by himself, and his cultivation and abilities were still there after he reincarnated. If it was anyone else, they would usually reincarnate into a beast after passing through the Heavenly Gate, losing all their cultivation and letting him slaughter them.

Mingdu Heavenly Gate had the miraculous effect of blocking karma, which was why Son of Heaven Yin had used the Heavenly Gate to avoid the Dao Fruit that Celestial Venerable Huo had burned into his soul. However, he had never expected that Celestial Venerable Huo's Dao fire would actually invade the cycle of reincarnation. Even if he reincarnated, he wouldn't be able to escape!

He had originally thought that Celestial Venerable Huo's soul was very weak, and his Dao couldn't cultivate the soul. That was why he had bowed to Celestial Venerable Huo rashly and tried to worship him.

However, Celestial Venerable Huo wasn't dead yet, and he had provoked the Dao fire that had invaded his soul.

He reincarnated repeatedly in the gate, and he had reincarnated countless times in an instant. East Deity Qing Long could only see Son of Heaven Yin changing his form continuously, changing his gender, and changing his race.

Every time he changed, he gave off the feeling that he had become a completely different person. He could no longer find the special qualities of the past.

This kind of divine art was truly inconceivable!

However, the fear on Son of Heaven Yin's face grew stronger, and he became more alarmed.

He had founded the Great Dao of Reincarnation and evolved from the Great Dao of Youdu. There was no reincarnation in the Great Dao of Youdu. Just this point alone was enough for Son of Heaven Yin to be considered outstanding. It wasn't an exaggeration to call him Son of Heaven.

However, due to the limitations of his own talent and wisdom, even though he had created the Great Dao of Reincarnation, he couldn't perfect it. Instead, it was brought to greater heights by Qin Mu.

His Dao of Reincarnation couldn't completely isolate Celestial Venerable Huo's Dao fire.

He also had unique attainments in the Dao of Heavenly Yin. The netherworld sea was refined with the help of the Dao of Heavenly Yin, and the netherworld sea was a sea formed by pure black soul sand.

Back then, the darkness of Great Ruins was the apparition formed by him executing the netherworld sea. Coupled with the loophole of Heavenly Yin, it formed a terrifying legend of not going out until it was dark.

However, at this moment, the sea of the netherworld evaporated in huge chunks and was sucked into the Mingdu Heavenly Gate, becoming the fuel for his reincarnation.

After he reincarnated, his soul was different. His soul changed and used the black soul sand in the netherworld sea.

Suddenly, flames ignited in the sea of the netherworld. It was a Dao fire.

Dao fire burned out of the Heavenly Gate of Samsara, and its speed quickly spread to the entire sky above the netherworld sea. The entire netherworld sea was ignited!

Dao flames also appeared on Mingdu Heavenly Gate, igniting it!

In the gate, Son of Heaven Yin cried out in astonishment.

Celestial Venerable Huo had his hands behind his back as he looked at him coldly. Behind his head were the heavens that were twisted into wheels that were spinning slowly.

East Deity Qing Long looked at this scene in horror. The new Celestial Venerable, Son of Heaven Yin, couldn't even withstand one move from Celestial Venerable Huo!

Celestial Venerable Huo didn't even make a move. He didn't execute any divine art. He only made the Dao fire on his soul burn back when Son of Heaven Yin used shaman spells to worship him. That was when Son of Heaven Yin couldn't withstand it!

His Dao fire was so strong that it could even burn the black soul sand completely!

"His soul has no weakness!"

A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in East Deity Qing Long's mind. 'Does Celestial Venerable Hao know that Celestial Venerable Huo's soul is so strong? If he does, the reason he sent us here is…'

He shuddered.

On the World Crossing Golden Ship, Qin Mu's gaze flickered, and he said in a low voice, "The number one sacred flame in the world lives up to its reputation. If it was me executing the divine art of reincarnation, I might not be able to avoid it. Celestial Venerable Huo's Dao fire is already close to the primal chaos, and it feels like a hot and silent wind."

"I'm immortal! I'm the ruler of Youdu, the new Earth Count! No one in this world can kill me!"

Son of Heaven Yin cried out, and the burning Mingdu Heavenly Gate and Mingdu Sea suddenly sank into Youdu!

Youdu was currently divided into two territories. One was Celestial Venerable Xu's territory, while the other was Son of Heaven Yin's territory. Both of them had countless devil gods guarding them, making them impregnable.

Among them, Celestial Venerable Xu's territory had already been tidied up by Celestial Venerable Xu. She had forcefully pieced together the pieces of Youdu land that Earth Count's corporeal body had disintegrated into to form the Yuan Continent of Youdu. It was vast and boundless.

Son of Heaven Yin's territory was much more scattered. Countless land masses floated in Youdu, and there were chains forged from Youdu black iron connecting them to form chains.

After Earth Count died, the souls of Youdu lost the control of Earth Count and escaped in all directions. Some escaped into the mortal world, forming ghost territories in the world of the living to bring disaster to the world. Some submitted to Son of Heaven Yin and Celestial Venerable Xu, becoming the devil gods under them.

There were countless ghost path devil gods in Son of Heaven Yin's territory, and they were all gods and devils when they were alive. After they died, they fell into Youdu. In addition to the devil god army of Mingdu, they could be considered the strongest force in the thousands of worlds.

At this moment, countless devil gods of the Ghost Dao and Mingdu suddenly felt something. They raised their heads and saw the sea of the burning Mingdu Sea and Mingdu Heavenly Gate descending from the sky.

Son of Heaven Yin stood in the heavenly gate, and his entire body was blazing with Dao fire. In this life, he had reincarnated into a woman, and the burning of the Dao fire made her look like a bride wearing red clothes!

"I'm Celestial Venerable Yin, no one can kill me!"

In the gate, Son of Heaven Yin's scream rang out, sounding extremely mournful. "I'd rather betray everyone in the world!"

Suddenly, Son of Heaven Yin who was in the gate bowed down. The bodies of the devil gods and Mingdu devil gods that raised their heads trembled violently. Black sand poured out from the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose of countless Mingdu devil gods, and their primordial spirits were killed by Son of Heaven Yin!

On the other hand, those ghost path devil gods didn't have corporeal bodies and only had primordial spirits or souls. With a bow from him, they shattered into countless black soul sand.

Son of Heaven Yin bowed repeatedly, and the primordial spirits of the countless devil gods on Earth Count's land disintegrated one after another. The black soul sand transformed into a surging current and roared as it flew towards the burning Mingdu Heavenly Gate and the sea.

Son of Heaven Yin bowed continuously, and on the land of Earth Count below, the ghost path devil gods and Mingdu devil gods seemed to know that a disaster was coming, and they all fled out.

Some devil gods even split open the void and planned to escape into the world of the living. However, just as their bodies rose up, they shattered into countless black sand and rushed into the sky!

For the sake of his own life, Son of Heaven Yin opened up the killing ring, and Youdu fell into the hands of the celestial heavens. He split Youdu into half and had countless soldiers. He could be said to be one of the biggest powers in the celestial heavens.

Yet now, this army of ghost gods was rapidly declining in his massacre, dying!

Above the land of Earth Count, the incomparably thick black soul sand was like a tornado that was swirling furiously. It rushed into Mingdu Heavenly Gate and actually extinguished the Dao fire!

There were simply too many devil gods that had died. Their souls were so powerful that even Celestial Venerable Huo's Dao fire couldn't do anything to them. Even the Dao fire on the netherworld sea was suppressed.

Son of Heaven Yin's cultivation increased frantically. After Earth Count died, he swallowed and refined the Great Dao of Youdu. Even though he didn't improve as fast as Celestial Venerable Xu, his cultivation and abilities also increased rapidly, far surpassing what they were before. That was why he dared to suppress Celestial Venerable Huo.

Now that he had obtained countless black soul sand, his cultivation had an astonishing increase. However, the Dao fire in his soul was still there, and he immediately passed through Mingdu Heavenly Gate and reincarnated furiously. Every reincarnation of his body was ignited by the Dao fire and burned to ashes, but before his reincarnation was completely burned, he could always escape successfully!

Back then, Grandmaster Pangong Tso, who was famous throughout Eternal Peace, cultivated his paths, skills, and divine arts. He could be considered his disciples and grand-disciples, and he was known as the number one escapee in Eternal Peace. However, compared to him, Grandmaster paled in comparison.

Son of Heaven Yin reincarnated frantically and finally got rid of the Dao fire. He immediately severed his connection with Mingdu Heavenly Gate and Mingdu Sea, flying out from the gate.

He turned his head back to take a look. Without his activation, the netherworld sea and the heavenly gate instantly started to burn furiously, and they were soon engulfed by the Dao fire.

Son of Heaven Yin's face flushed red, and he vomited blood. It was unknown if he was secretly hurt or sad about his treasure.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Celestial Venerable Xu's figure.

Celestial Venerable Xu stood on the other half of Youdu, and the horns on his head became like the long lava river of Youdu, twisting and turning.

This Celestial Venerable looked up at the southern sky and suddenly rose up, cutting through Youdu and entering Celestial Venerable Huo's Life and Death Divine Treasure!

"So Emperor Hao Tian's trump card isn't me."

Son of Heaven Yin's heart turned cold, and he became even more upset. A mouthful of blood rushed up his throat. Celestial Venerable Hao had only used him to test Celestial Venerable Huo's abilities, and his true trump card was Celestial Venerable Xu, who was even stronger than him!

Celestial Venerable Xu invaded Celestial Venerable Huo's corporeal body through his Life and Death Divine Treasure and killed his primordial spirit!

Son of Heaven Yin had just thought of this when he saw a bride in a bright red dress walking towards him.

"Chaojin, do you still remember the day you swore to marry me?"

The bride smiled sweetly at him. "You said you would never betray me."

"Di Yiyue!"

Son of Heaven Yin panicked and hurriedly escaped. The moment he turned around, a palm grabbed him and pulled him out of Youdu.

"Yin Yulang, we meet again."

In Heavenly Yin World, Son of Heaven Yin broke free from that hand and raised his head to see Goddess of Heavenly Yin. Goddess of Heavenly Yin said coldly, "I've been waiting for you."

At this moment, Di Yiyue, who was wearing a bright red dress, entered Heavenly Yin World from Youdu.

At the same time, Celestial Venerable Xu entered Celestial Venerable Huo's Life and Death Divine Treasure and attacked his primordial spirit!

She executed the supreme devil fire and instantly ignited Celestial Venerable Huo's primordial spirit!

Celestial Venerable Huo seemed to have expected this, and the fire wheels behind his head spun furiously. He laughed loudly. "Dao fire refines the divine soul, the Undying Great Vajra! Xu, you are too inexperienced! I still need to borrow your devil fire to make up for the last stage that my soul can't cultivate!"

Boom!

Celestial Venerable Huo's primordial spirit frantically devoured Celestial Venerable Xu's devil fire. Celestial Venerable Xu was astonished. She saw that Celestial Venerable Huo's primordial spirit didn't burn in her devil fire, but instead absorbed its power!

"I once went to see Celestial Venerable You and asked him to help me use the devil fire to refine my soul, but he refused no matter what. He even said that people of different paths can't work together! I wanted to marry you not because I wanted to work with you, but because I wanted to get your devil fire! But now…"

Celestial Venerable Xu was about to retract her devil fire when Celestial Venerable Huo's aura suddenly exploded, shaking her out of her body!

Celestial Venerable Huo raised his hand to grab her and sneered. "But now, I don't need you anymore!"

His palm grew larger, distorting space and completely enveloping Celestial Venerable Xu!
