Chapter 827 - - 580 The Last Straw_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Puhua Celestial Venerable has actually pledged allegiance to Duge too. Setting aside his abilities, his tactics for winning hearts have indeed become more masterful.”

After reading the latest issue of Human Daily, the Underworld Emperor casually set it aside and picked up the True History of the Three Realms, flipping through it with interest.

The Underworld Emperor, a contemporary of both the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor, knew the past events like the back of his hand and naturally understood that the so-called True History of the Three Realms was completely fabricated.

What he read about was the Method of Becoming a Saint hidden within the True History of the Three Realms. The Human Emperor Inheritance was originally false, but under Duge’s manipulation, it had actually become a reality. This made the Underworld Emperor begin to doubt whether Duge truly was the Heavenly Dao of another world.

The Heavenly Dao could even condense an incarnation, free from the constraints of the world, to pursue a higher level of power. This strength moved the Underworld Emperor, and he, too, wished that one day he could roam other worlds and see the sights, rather than be trapped in one world, leading a dull life…

But then, one day,

while flipping through the True History of the Three Realms, the Underworld Emperor suddenly felt disturbances of the heart follow one after another, then, he felt his strength rapidly declining.

To be precise, the robust Spiritual Energy within him suddenly began to rebel, as if it was constantly on the verge of bursting out of his body.

At the Underworld Emperor’s realm, even if he did nothing, the surrounding Spiritual Energy would naturally flow into his body, naturally increasing his strength.

But now, every bit of Spiritual Energy entering his body seemed as though it would explode his Dantian at any moment…

“Twilight Calamity?”

Feeling the changes in his body, the Underworld Emperor’s expression drastically changed, and a term suddenly entered his mind.

The page of the True History of the Three Realms in the Underworld Emperor’s hand turned by itself to the chapter about the Twilight Calamity:

“…The stronger the Saint, the more fate they steal. When that happens, it will provoke a backlash from heaven and earth. Because heaven and earth want to reclaim the fate to maintain the world’s operation. Thus, the Twilight Calamity occurs. If one survives, they remain unharmed; if one fails, even Celestial Beings will face the five declines and Saints will fall…”

“How is this possible? The Twilight Calamity has actually become real?”

The Underworld Emperor was greatly shocked and immediately stopped his cultivation, cutting off his body’s absorption of all Spiritual Energy. Only then did that terrifyingly intense urgency that made his heart nearly explode disappear.

“Damn it, what the hell does that bastard want? I’m only a Quasi-Saint, not even a Saint. Why should this damned Twilight Calamity befall me?” The Underworld Emperor was utterly livid, “No, how can this damned Twilight Calamity possibly be real?”

The Underworld Emperor’s mind was a complete mess.

At this moment, he was utterly confused.

Unexpectedly gaining such a major flaw, who wouldn’t panic?

Previously, the Underworld Emperor had admired Duge, even hoping he could help him take the final step. Now, he truly wished he could tear him to pieces.

This truly was a disaster out of the blue…

The Underworld Emperor was on the verge of tears. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly vanished from the Underworld and headed straight for Mount Sumeru

…

Meanwhile,

The Immortal Court, always a step slow due to time difference, was still dealing with what Emperor Donghua and Great Purity Emperor reported about Taixuan Emperor practicing the Blood Law.

Once Emperor Donghua and Great Purity Emperor entered the Heavenly Court, they were captured, their Cultivation Levels sealed, and they were brought to the Sky and Cloud Hall. In the astonishment of the full military and civil service, they reported to the Immortal Emperor about Taixuan Emperor practicing the Blood Law.

“Did Duge send you to seek help from Us?” Looking at the two former subordinates kneeling below, the Immortal Emperor found it somewhat implausible.

“Your Majesty, a day in heaven is a hundred days on earth. Taixuan Emperor practicing the Blood Law is a significant matter for the Three Realms. Once he gains strength, the chaos of the Blood Ancestor may resurface in the Three Realms. We urge Your Majesty to dispatch troops quickly to assist the Human Emperor in executing Taixuan Emperor…” Emperor Donghua spoke passionately.

“A rebel who stirs up trouble in the Three Realms, seeking to cooperate with Us for the stability of the Three Realms, is indeed amusing.” The Immortal Emperor looked around at his ministers and stroked his beard, smiling, “It seems the Human Emperor, on par with Us, cannot take down a Taixuan Emperor practicing the Blood Law, thus he makes a desperate move!”

“Truly evil demons, unfit for the public eye.” Queen Mother laughed.

“Demon Conquering Celestial Venerable, why don’t you descend to the mortal realm and check out what this so-called Taixuan Emperor is all about!” The Immortal Emperor smiled and turned to Demon Conquering Celestial Venerable, said.

Before Demon Conquering Celestial Venerable could speak, suddenly, a hurried report came from outside the hall.

“Announce,” said the Immortal Emperor.

Before the words were finished,

The guarding Heavenly General rushed in, kneeling on one knee: “Reporting to the Immortal Emperor, Xianyou True Monarch has been defeated.”

“What?” The Immortal Emperor was suddenly stunned.

“Taixuan Emperor ambushed the Heavenly Soldiers…” The guarding Heavenly General presented the freshly delivered Human Daily from the Mortal Realm with both hands and briefly recounted the events at Mount Sumeru.

As his words fell,

The Immortal Court was thrown into chaos.

“What? Xianyou True Monarch was actually killed by the Human Emperor?”

“Puhua Celestial Venerable also defected to the Human Emperor?”

“Isn’t he an evil demon? How could he have such extensive divine powers?”

“If he could execute Xianyou True Monarch, why did he let Taixuan Emperor go and yet send the two Donghuas to seek help from the Immortal Court?”

…

The Immortal Emperor read through all the Human Dailies quickly, and seeing that the newspaper slammed him to the fullest, his face turned the color of iron: “How preposterous, this despicable one really stops at nothing.”

The Immortal Emperor was enraged.

The previously noisy Sky and Cloud Hall instantly quieted down, and the heavy ministers looked up at the Immortal Emperor, each one clueless.
