Chapter 317 - 317 River

317 River

“Lingyun Kingdom has violated the laws of the heavens and should be destroyed without mercy?”

Under everyone’s gaze, the Lingyun Emperor’s expression turned grim as he looked at the strange situation in the ancestral temple. Then, he put on an intense smile and said slowly.

“That’s a matter concerning Lingyun Kingdom. What does it have to do with our Lingtian Divine Kingdom?”

“…”

There was a moment of silence in the ancestral temple.

When this opportunity presented itself, the Lingyun Emperor… no, the current Heavenly Emperor Lu Tiancheng attacked brazenly. The divine chains formed by the Great Dao condensed in his hands and transformed into various grand killing techniques. In an instant, it was as if they could completely shatter the sky!

“I don’t care where you come from or what your purpose is. Since you dare to invade my Lingtian Divine Kingdom, you can stay here forever…”

The grand divine power, the Mountain River Diagram!

Suddenly, the world seemed to have flipped upside down. A scroll depicting the mountains and rivers unfolded behind Lu Tiancheng’s head. It was as if it had connected to another world, and at this moment, he was going to allow that world to descend into this world!

In a corner of the imperial capital, the originally completely focused Feng Xia suddenly narrowed his eyes.

“As expected, the more I look at it, the more it looks like the Nature Mankind Sword Diagram… No, I should say that the Nature Mankind Sword Diagram looks more and more like this Mountain River Diagram!”

The Nature Mankind Sword Diagram was created by the first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley, Chao Haisheng, after comprehending everything in the world.

However, at this moment, Feng Xia saw the shadow of the Mountain River Diagram inside the other diagram.

“Can it be that the first Sect Leader of my Thousand Autumn Valley has also come here before and seen Lu Tiancheng use his divine power?”

Many similar thoughts flashed through his mind. Feng Xia very quickly shook his head and threw all the complicated thoughts out of his mind. He focused all his attention and unleashed his soul power to lock onto the direction of the palace.

The great mastermind that traversed through the ages had finally appeared in the world today. Moreover, his appearance was an earth-shattering event, as if he wanted to cause this part of the world to sink and everything to disappear into the dust of time.

Screams, wails and yells could be heard one after another. At this moment, they spread out for a distance so wide that it was immeasurable.

What was even more terrifying was that the black hole that seemed to be able to devour everything actually originated from the royal family’s ancestral temple!

When did the ancestral temple nurture such a strange creature?

Even with his eyesight, when he looked towards the Lingyun imperial palace, it was as if there was a layer of fog. No matter how hard he tried, he could not see it clearly.

“Furthermore, this strange creature… did he just say that… Lingyun Kingdom had violated the laws of the heavens?”

Feng Xia’s frown became deeper and deeper. His eyes were like torches as he merged various strange eye-techniques together, extracting their essence and removing the dregs before finally turning them into a brand new eye-technique…

Crack!

Crackle!

In the area between Feng Xia’s eyebrows, a willow leaf-like crack suddenly appeared on the brow bone. Then, this crack suddenly widened and became an eye that was staring out in anger!

The divine third eye, Yin Yang Heavenly Pupil!

Countless patterns appeared in the divine third eye and turned into layers of array patterns. The array patterns intertwined and turned into a symbol of the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram.

Kaboom—

The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram spun like a huge millstone, turning into two beams of light that shot into the distance, forcefully causing the fog in the palace to disperse. That allowed Feng Xia to see the situation inside clearly!

“What… what is this—”

At this moment, Feng Xia could not help but gasp.

In that direction, he clearly saw a surging river with turbid waves that surged into the sky. The waves were carrying countless vengeful spirits that came from countless years ago and flowing towards an indiscernible future.

Terrifying! Strange!

From time to time, water droplets would splash out from the surging waves. When living beings in the palace were splashed by the water, even if it was just one drop of water, their souls would instantly dissipate and they would instantly lose all signs of life.

When Feng Xia looked over again, some figures had silently appeared in the surging river. When he looked carefully, they actually looked a little like the people who just died!

However, at this moment, they looked terrifying. Their faces were even paler than golden paper and their bodies were tattered, as if they had been soaked in water for countless years. Their bodies had rotted and their blood had dried up. Only smelly pus flowed out of their wounds.

“What the hell is this river? Is it the Underworld River?”

At this moment, Feng Xia saw the figure of Emperor Lu Tiancheng. However, every time he unleashed his divine power, he did not point at the long river in the black hole. Instead, he continued to bombard the ground under his feet in an incredibly violent manner!

“His enemy… His enemy is… the shadow?”

Feng Xia’s divine third eye pierced through the void and saw the enemy that was fighting Lu Tiancheng.

That enemy was his own shadow!

“In that case, my previous premonition is true. There’s something wrong with Brother Lu himself… No!”

Feng Xia frowned. Suddenly, an unprecedented chill assaulted him. Goosebumps rose on his neck immediately and he jumped up without thinking.

At the same time, the ground under Feng Xia’s feet exploded. His own shadow let out a strange laugh and attacked him again with strong murderous intent.

“It’s not something wrong with Brother Lu… It’s that there’s something wrong with this world!”

“The mastermind that has been through history is hidden in the shadows of everyone in Lingyun Kingdom!”

“One as all and all as one… No wonder we can’t find any clues no matter how hard we investigate. Strictly speaking… there’s something wrong with everyone in Lingyun Kingdom!”

With the attack coming from his shadow, Lu Tiancheng instantly faced a huge crisis.

Even though he was at the Deity Realm and his strength had reached an unprecedented level, the killing methods he was proficient in were almost all useless against shadows!

Even after a series of explosions, it only destroyed the ground and buildings in the end. It could not damage the shadow at all. At the same time, he had to resist the suction force coming from the river in order to prevent his soul from leaving his body and becoming a resentful spirit in the surging river!

In stark contrast…

The strength of the shadow under his feet was completely on par with him. It was not affected by the strange river and could easily obtain results!

“Ah! Get out here, you filthy thing!”

Emperor Lu Tiancheng roared.

A creepy laugh kept coming from the shadow under his feet. “Get out here? Hmph… pathetic and insignificant thing! Do you think we’re hiding in your shadow?”

Lu Tiancheng’s gaze suddenly froze.

If he was not hiding in the shadows… then where was he hiding?

“Your Majesty, don’t let him lead you into his rhythm.”

At this moment, Feng Xia traveled through the air from the imperial capital and arrived above the Lingyun palace. He looked down at the black hole from above. “As long as I can kill you, it doesn’t matter where you hide!”

“Kill… us? Hehehe… stupid thing!”

The voice in the shadows became even more mocking. “We are everywhere and all around. As long as there are shadows in this world, no matter whether real or unreal…”

“If so, then there will be no shadows now.”

Feng Xia suddenly snapped his fingers.

The sinister laughter stopped abruptly.

“You—”
