Chapter 1539 - 554: Speaking with the Fox (Part 2)_4
"The plan is about to be implemented, she might get involved."
East Emperor Taiyi whispered:
"Help me set up a large formation, make her feel as if she’s just had a sleep. It’s best if she doesn’t have to personally get involved in the future Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm, a sliver of her Primordial Spirit is enough for the Investiture of the Gods Catastrophe."
"After all, it just needs to be Su Daji."
"Alright," Bell Spirit shrugged, "I really can’t understand you creatures. Clearly, you care for her, and she is so devoted to you, so why do you have to torture each other like this?"
"I am not qualified."
"Huh? Do you have an hidden ailment? Why didn’t I know?"
East Emperor Taiyi: ...
Bell Spirit gave a cheeky smile and turned to leave.
But the last few bubbles explained the root cause of East Emperor Taiyi’s previous actions.
He wanted to embrace death.
To die in the battle at the Celestial Palace.
The intense battle with the Witch Clan darkened the heavens and the earth. Through the powers of the Chaos Bell, East Emperor Taiyi revealed the strength he had been hiding all along.
With his Semi-Holy Body, he fought the Ancestral Witches alone!
"It’s enough, I’ve already slain four Ancestral Witches, the Twelve Capitals Heavenly Gods Extermination Formation can’t be restored again, and the path for the Human Race to rise has already been paved."
Bell Spirit timely reminded:
"Taiyi, we must prepare to retreat. I’ve prepared your fake corpse, ready for exchange!"
"No need."
East Emperor Taiyi, however, raised his hand to press on the Chaos Bell.
"Help me tell Father that I won’t be returning."
"What do you mean? What are you going to do? This is just..."
"I’ve done too much for Father, I’m very tired. In the end, I am merely a false substitute, thank you for the care over these dozens of Elementary Periods, Auntie Zhong."
East Emperor Taiyi’s voice was always gentle, yet he faced the onslaught of the Witches with increasing ferocity.
He was covered in blood, battling continuously with the Ancestral Witches, starting to burn everything inside him.
"Why are you so foolish! If you die, everything will be meaningless! Your Father cares about you!"
"I am merely an illusory being he brought over from the last world."
"You’re not, you can accomplish many things! If you die now your Father won’t have the slightest sorrow, he had long foreseen your self-destruction! You should prove to him that you can achieve eternity..."
The Tai Chi Diagram suddenly appeared.
The Chaos Bell was directly struck away, and the Yin Yang Qi temporarily sealed the spirit of the Chaos Bell.
What remained was that earth-shattering and sky-encompassing battle.
Bubbles slowly dissipated.
Inside the Lingxiao Hall, there was a dead silence.
Just as someone was about to say something, a faint red light flew from the forehead of the slumbering Nine-tailed Fox, and the residual soul of East Emperor Taiyi sighed softly with closed eyes.
That light transformed into the last bubble.
Within the bubble, fire meteors incessantly crashed down from the sky, and the spiritual sanctuary of future years, [The Ruins of Heaven], was forming.
Both above and below the earth were intense battles.
A shallow bell-shaped phantom rapidly traversed the ground, followed by a wildly sprinting six-tailed fox demon.
The fox demon was enshrouded by a layer of pink light.
The bell flew swiftly, guiding the fox demon to evade regions where strong enemies might appear, and found the tattered corpse lying amidst the collapsed ruins.
The fox demon let out a mournful cry, hurriedly stowing the body into a bag, holding it in its mouth, and under the bell’s guidance, vanished into the boundless flames of war.
The bubbles revealed the final scene.
Which was inside a dark stone temple.
A gigantic Nine-tailed Fox was pinned to the altar by a stone sword, yet it endured the severe pain, carefully adjusting its posture, placing the tattered body before it, and lying tenderly beside the body.
"Teacher..."
"The little fox will guard you."
