Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu were both surprised by how easy-going the Heavenly King was. They thanked him politely while rays flashed in Heavenly King Ji Le’s eyes as he continued saying, “But my Happiness Demonic Eaters are not very good command-listeners. If you go to the third Heavens yourself, my little pets might hurt you. They mean no harm, it’s just their nature that they are attracted to living beings. Follow me, I will bring you all to the third Heavens, the Soul-burying Heavens.”
Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu thanked again while the Happiness Demonic Eaters carried the humongous Heavenly King Ji Le and they traveled deeper into the Blissful Heavens at a great speed.
However, Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu were not slow either, they were able to keep up to Heavenly King Ji Le’s pace.
Hundun Yu was puzzled, he asked, “Heavenly King, why do you command these Happiness Demonic Eaters to devour the living beings’ memories?”
“This, you don’t know, yes?” Heavenly King Ji Le smiled as he said, “As one is born in this cosmos with nothing, he shall also leave with nothing. When the living beings were born, they were born with no memories. Thus, when they leave, these memories should also be eradicated. Our Reincarnation Burial Ground is the final station to every soul in this cosmos. Their souls have to be cleared from these memories before they can be reincarnated. These Happiness Demonic Eaters are here to help the dead souls to be reverted to their blank slate.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “Other than the Happiness Demonic Eaters that feeds on happiness, there are many other demon spirits that feeds on the other emotions, the skills, wisdom, and many others. When it is all done, all memories in the dead souls would be removed and they are reverted to the purest state.”
After hearing the explanation, Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu were enlightened.
Then, Zhong Yue asked, “Heavenly King, then where will all the dead souls end up in?”
Rays flashed in Heavenly King Ji Le’s eyes, he smiled and answered, “Back to nature, of course. They are already dead, their souls and spirits diminished. They will be reformed in the tenth Heavens of the Reincarnation Burial Ground and spread all across the cosmos as soul seeds. Then, new lives will be born as a new round of reincarnation starts.”
Hundun Yu praised, “So beings like us who doesn’t have past lives, actually have past lives.”
Heavenly King Ji Le was smiling nonstop.
However, Zhong Yue frowned softly. It was a nice story of the origin of souls portrayed by Heavenly King Ji Le, but often times, the more pretty something was described, the more cruel its real truth would be.
“Heavenly King, this place we are headed for, it’s not the third Heavens, is it?”
Zhong Yue suddenly stopped, a smiling expression climbed on his face as he said, “Your Blissful Heavens sure is marvelous and well hidden. It looked very much like the third Heavens, but it is clear as crystal before my eyes.”
Hundun Yu quickly stopped too. He looked to the front and saw the entrance to the third Heavens just in front of them. Not only that, but he could also see the outlines of the fourth and fifth Heavens after the third Heavens.
“It’s fake?”
Hundun Yu quickly cast out his Hundun Divine Eyes and the Chaos Qi filled his vision. However, it was still the same thing he saw, nothing has changed.
His Hundun Divine Eyes originate from the bloodline of the Hundun Clan. It could see through every disguise but it lacked the ability to determine the authenticity of the objects. Thus, Hundun Yu couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“Senior Martial Brother Yu, you can’t see through it because he has let you see the happiness in you. You are thinking about the next few Heavens, that’s why you saw them. If you try to think of something else, then you’ll see that something instead.”
Zhong Yue sneered coldly as he said, “Try think of some other happy stuff, then look again.”
Hundun Yu thought of something else and sure enough, his vision changed into a peaceful and harmony unworldly land. The skies were clear with birds winging through the clouds, the grasses were verdant and the animals were casually strolling beside him.
“It’s really a fake!” Hundun Yu’s heart skipped a beat, he exclaimed in shock, “Then where are we now?”
“If you want to see the truth, use not your heart, not your soul, or you will only see the lies fed to you by Heavenly King Ji Le! Where we are? Of course we are now in Heavenly King Ji Le’s Blissful Heavens, his blissful land but our hell!”
A bright ray shot out of Zhong Yue’s Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils and struck to Heavens in front of them. The image of the Heavens faded away and revealed the true nature of this place!
Hundun Yu couldn’t help but shook in cold. What replaced his vision was a land that was a hundred times more eerie and horrifying than hell!
He saw an endless pack of Happiness Demonic Eaters, swarming around many strong and powerful shepherds. The shepherds were much smaller than Heavenly King Ji Le but still enormously huge in size. They grabbed the Happiness Demonic Eaters in their hands and squeezed out the happy memories from the beasts into their mouths like juices.
Other than that, there were also many cages on the floor. The cages imprisoned many gods that have entered the Blissful Heavens and captured by them.
These gods were hung in the cages, their skins removed from their bodies and their flesh bitten out of shape. Their actual appearances couldn’t even be distinguished anymore.
The shepherds were squeezing the happy memories out from the Happiness Demonic Eaters and forced the memories into the minds of the gods. This has hallucinated the gods with enormous happiness and smile happily on their bloody faces.
Then, the shepherds would grab on their heads and suck the happiness out from them. Which in the process, leaves the gods in boundless pain and sadness before a new round of happy memories were pumped into their minds again.
Hundun Yu’s scalps tingled. Suddenly, he vaguely recognized a familiar face among the gods and recalled him being one of the Imperial Emperors beside Feng Wuji. He too, was captured and hung in cages like the others.
Hundun Yu’s voice was quivering as he asked, “So this is the Blissful Heavens?”
“To Heavenly King, it is, isn’t?” Zhong Yue looked at Heavenly King Ji Le and sneered coldly, “Heavenly King, am I right?”
Heavenly King Ji Le laughed happily and his fleshes were thumping with his laughter. His tiny head looked down at the duo and said, “Welcome to my Blissful Heavens! In here, you are like bugs in my hands, what else more do you think you can do under my watch?”
Zhong Yue laughed loudly, his aura suddenly surged high and his seventh secret realm opened behind him. He said coldly, “Maybe, it is right for the dead souls to have their memories removed. But the birth of wicked fiends and the likes of you are never right! Demon King Ji Le, I am only asking to travel through your Heavens to reach to the next, I don’t care what you do in here. If you let us go now, I will let it go as well. But if you don’t, I will make sure I leave your kingdom in ruins!”
Chapter 1183: Stampede! |
Carried by the many Happiness Demonic Eaters, Heavenly King Ji Le moved forward swiftly into Blissful Heavens, looked down at Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu standing beneath him and mocked, “Such bravery, who gives you the gut to be so arrogant in my Blissful Heavens! There are swarms and swarms of Old Demon Ji Le in here, what makes you think you can act so arrogant before them?”
Hundun Yu lost his words upon the sudden change in Heavenly King Ji Le’s attitude and he mumbled, “Isn’t he a kind one just now? Why is he behaving like that right now?”
Zhong Yue smirked, “It’s nothing but a show, all Heavenly King Ji Le wants is to lure us into this place so he could harm us. Heavenly King Ji Le, is siphoning the happy memories from a living being directly much more pleasuring to you all?”
The countless Old Demon Ji Le stood up right away, surrounded Heavenly King Ji Le and with a wave, Heavenly King Ji Le had the endless Happiness Demonic Eaters trapping Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu in the middle as he continued, “Indeed. Both of you actually could use your energy here so I had to pretend a little. I warn you to stay away because you both might come from a powerful clan and it’s unwise to make an enemy out of you. You however, refused to stay away and insisted on entering my Reincarnation Burial Ground, it is you who is looking for your own death, so don’t blame me for killing you. Little ones, take them down!”
With a roar from the Old Demon Ji Le, the countless Happiness Demonic Eaters started swarming towards Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu.
“Halt!”
Without a thought, Zbong Yue changed into his Fuxi True Form, let out a battlecry and with a rumbling in his light wheels, the Happiness Demonic Eaters were all immobilized by his seventh secret realm, the Space Secret Realm.
“Fuxi, he is a Fuxi!” screeched the Old Demon Ji Le, in a ear-piercing tone that was mixed with fear and anger. Heavenly King Ji Le too, was shocked by Zhong Yue’s transformation, he shouted, “So you are a Fuxi! That is another reason not to let you go! Children—-”
His scream sounded again, and even more Happiness Demonic Eaters swarmed towards the duo, only to be immobilized by Zhong Yue’s seventh secret realm, but there were still countless of them swarming forth.
At the front, the Happiness Demonic Eaters had stacked all the way up, forming a wall of Happiness Demonic Eaters and it was still stacking. At the back, the Happiness Demonic Eaters continue charging forward, climbing the bodies of their own kin and the insanity they shown was just as crazy as the insect races under the lead of their mother queen!
Zhong Yue started sweating coldly, he could immobilize millions of these Happiness Demonic Eaters but there were more than billions of them in this place!
Finally, with a loud noise, the wall stacked up by the Happiness Demonic Eaters crumbled as Zhong Yue’s seventh secret realm was crushed by the pressure, his Space Secret Realm rumbled and the Happiness Demonic Eaters continue swarming them!
Hundun Yu on the other hand, activated Fusang Divine Tree right away and swept the field with an ocean of chaos fire, torching these Happiness Demonic Eaters alive and the burnt bodies let out an awful stench.
But they did not fear death, the Happiness Demonic Eaters at the back stomped over the bodies of their kin, launching a suicidal charge before they slowly snowballed, turned into a gigantic ball of Happiness Demonic Eaters as they rolled towards the duo!
Hundun Yu’s expression changed right away, he pumped all his energy into the monarch weapon; lights shined from the tree’s top, swept towards the Happiness Demonic Eaters and the chaos fire turned into one after another raging sun, unleashing a massacred among the Happiness Demonic Eaters.
“Senior Martial Brother Yu, I’ll leave the safety of our surrounding to you.”
Zhong Yue took in a deep breath, his forehead shined as Dao Yi Secret Realm rumbled, the Innate Eight Trigrams Sacred Ground emitted a presence belonged only to a micro-universe and Zhong Yue started walking towards the Blissful Heavens.
With Fusang Divine Tree floated above his head, Hundun Yu did his very best to ensure their safety, giving absolutely no chance for the Happiness Demonic Eaters to get close.
Zhong Yue continued walking towards the bridge, heading straight towards the Blissful Heavens, except that it was not a pure land but a demonic land, a hell that shown utmost evil and gore. Heavenly King Ji Le on the other hand, sat high up with a ferocious and awful expression, “Fuxi, there is a Fuxi that arrived at this place once, his name is Dao Venerate Fu Min….”
Speaking of Dao Venerate Fu Min, Old Demon Ji Le couldn’t help but to shiver, his little eyes were filled with fear and hatred, “He annihilated many of us, my Blissful Heavens was destroyed by the shockwaves created by his attacks and I gotten lucky. All it took was just one wave to smite my powerful men in the tenth Heavens! Do you know how many of us died? Hehehe, there is no reason needed to kill us eh? All you need to do is just wave your hand…. Now, I’m going to kill your descendants!”
The Old Demon Ji Le beside him all flew up, these meat monsters had no legs, all they had was just flesh and with a bounce, they all flew into the skies!
Hu—-
These flesh monsters slammed towards Zhong Yue and in the hands of these Old Demon Ji Le was massive clubs that were being swung towards Zhong Yue!
Weng—-
Light flashed in Zhong Yue’s forehead, the Innate Eight Trigrams Sacred Ground flew out, landed beneath his feet and the sacred ground kept transforming. The diagrams turned into divine sabers and they all flew straight towards the clubs wielded by these Old Demon Ji Le.
He was stopped, right before the bridge as these Old Demon Ji Le posed great threat. In such a place where other Daos were unusable, these Old Demon Ji Le were like fish in the water, they surrounded Zhong Yue and their attacks rivaled the likes of Imperial Emperors!
Heavenly King Ji Le himself, was a massive meatball that dwarfed his minions, he smirked, “To existences like him, we are just puny insects that could be stomped at whenever they want. But we are no insects, so I began my retaliation after that!”
He rolled onto the bridge, pummeled at Zhong Yue and grinned, “One day, I discovered the surge of endless Fuxi spirit remnants, they died for no reason and the remaining of their spirits landed here. Hehehe, I had the Happiness Demonic Eaters devoured their happiness, leaving them with only eternal despair and sorrow! I enjoy hearing their wails and shrieks! Little Fuxi, you will meet the same fate!”
Zhong Yue went head on with the pummeling, he groaned as he was forced backwards; Heavenly King Ji Le’s strength was extraordinary, he overwhelmed Zhong Yue easily and crushed Zhong Yue’s attack!
This Heavenly King’s body was just way too huge, with him on the bridge, he left no space for the other Old Demon Ji Le. But that did not hinder the Old Demon Ji Le from making space, they crawled onto the back of this Heavenly King and instead of swinging their clubs at Zhong Yue, they hurled it towards Heavenly King Ji Le.
Dong—-
From his stomach came a drum beat, an enormous one that impacted Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu’s spirit. In an instant, the duo caught endless happiness surging into their memories. It was happiness beyond imagination, joy overwhelmed them and they lost their mind.
“Happy?”
Heavenly King Ji Le burst out laughing, while he pummeled Zhong Yue and sent him flying away.
Huuu—-
The massive meat monster flew up again, chased after Zhong Yue who was in mid-air while the Old Demon Ji Le on the back of Heavenly King Ji Le continue beating his stomach, unleashing enormous happiness and joy onto the duo’s Dao heart, shrouding them with the endless happiness. Though Zhong Yue was injured heavily by Heavenly King Ji Le’s pummelings, he felt no pain, instead, all he felt was comfort, love and joy.
And it was the same for Hundun Yu, he forgot to maintain Fusang Tree’s might, allowing the Happiness Demonic Eaters to drill into the ocean of fire while swarming towards them!
“And this is happiness!”
Heavenly King Ji Le burst out laughing and pummelled Zhong Yue again, slamming him on his head, hurling him onto the ground and Zhong Yue crashed right into the ground!
“So happy!”
Heavenly King Ji Le landed on the ground, unleashed a combo of attacks onto Zhong Yue who was stuck in the ground, one after another attack, Heavenly King Ji Le gorily turned Zhong Yue into a pile of meat, while Old Demon Ji Le continued beating Heavenly King Ji Le’s stomach.
Dong dong dong—-
The beating impacted Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu continuously, affected their memories and indulged them in immense happiness.
Heavenly King Ji Le smiled violently as he continued his barrage of attacks, only to notice a rumbling from the ground and his club was knocked back. A massive seal came flying out from the ground and landed on Heavenly King Ji Le’s head.
Hong long—-
A vigorous rumbling occurred, as Heavenly King Ji Le’s head was slammed right into his chest by the silver seal, sinking right into the flesh.
A terrifying presence swept across the field, injuring all the Old Demon Ji Le standing on Heavenly King Ji Le’s back, sending them flying away and endless saber flashed across the scene, catching onto these Old Demon Ji Le and diced them into pieces!
Flesh fell from the skies and landed onto the ground before turning into pus.
“Don’t you dare give me….”
A bloodied hand reached out from the ground and grabbed onto the ledge, and a bloodied Zhong Yue crawled out, while his other hand pulled out the countless memories from his own memory savagely.
He raised his hands up high, the 16 innate Daos in his Innate Eight Trigrams Sacred Ground slithered into the air like Jiao dragons, like 16 dragons that twined into one!
“Happiness that doesn’t belong to me!”
The innate divine saber in his hand swung down, slashed onto Heavenly King Ji Le and the massive body was cut apart. The severed flesh of Heavenly King Ji Le fell right into Blissful Heavens, crashing onto the palaces, killing the countless Old Demon Ji Le and Happiness Demonic Eaters.
The prisons rolled around and the imprisoned gods all slammed onto the bars heavily.
“Great Blissful Heavens!”
Heavenly King Ji Le was angered and surprised, his head popped out from his chest and he unleashed an intimidating presence that twisted the vast Blissful Heavens; the palaces, luxurious pillars, alluring streets slithered, turned into flesh that started flowing towards his body.
Even the Old Demon Ji Le and Happiness Demonic Eaters were all waving their arms weakly, forcibly being rolled away by the slithering flesh as they were merged into Heavenly King Ji Le’s body.
Heavenly King Ji Le’s size increased rapidly, towering everything in vicinity and he roared at Zhong Yue, “I am the Blissful Heavens! Watch this, all the living beings on my body are all in happiness! There is no pain and no sorrow!”
