Chapter 160: Source World 12 (part 2 of 3)

Seeing this person, His Highness the prince, who have been raised by the Heavenly Emperor’s side from a young age, the bloodstained generals of the Heavenly Race respectfully responded at once: “The Heavenly Emperor had already personally gone over to meet the enemy head-on.”

The Little Phoenix only felt a buzzing in his brain, as if having been fiercely hit by something huge. His vision darkened, while his entire body felt ice-cold. The instant his vision returned, he immediately rushed towards the direction of the battlefield, in order to try in stopping the Heavenly Emperor from going.

Because of the unrivaled power of the Zhao Huo decree, even the Heavenly Emperor wouldn’t be able to stand a chance.

It can control thunder and fire, and can also utilize the blood intent of the flames from the different worlds, which can raze the world to the ground. It is the most powerful artifact between heaven and earth, and is also one of the reasons why the Phoenix clan has been in the distinguished position since ancient times. There isn’t even any other artifact that can compete with it.

“Imperial father, quickly come back, don’t fight!” The Little Phoenix loudly shouted while trying to rush into the battle circle to find the Heavenly Emperor’s figure. However, the group of people firmly pulled his back, and were constantly trying to chaotically speak words of dissuasion by his ear one after the other.

“His Highness the prince, the Heavenly Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to pass!”

“His Highness, You will only distract the Heavenly Emperor by going!”

“It’s too dangerous there, You can’t go!”

“Let me go! All of you, let go of me!!” The Little Phoenix gathered his true energy to make a powerful wave, trying to shake away the person restraining him. But half of his body’s magic power had disappeared with the removal of his heart, that he was unexpectedly unable to achieve what he wanted to do.

Most of the individuals in the Heavenly Emperor’s generation had fallen in the war between the gods and devils. So, there were hardly any left, aside from the individuals in this generation. The next generation were completely unaware of the formidable power of the Zhao Huo decree, nor do they even know of it’s existence.

All that exists in the world always has both advantages and disadvantages. Although the Zhao Huo decree has a powerful force, but it also has a fatal flaw. So long as it is used to harm the innocent creatures, even if it is just a single blade of grass or tree, it’s user will suffer from a backlash, which is serious enough to cause a mental breakdown. However, the Zhao Huo decree was born with a spirit and is bloodthirsty by nature, and was thus, rarely used. Over time, it has turned into a legend that only exists in ancient times.

The Little Phoenix isn’t afraid of the backlash at all, but is afraid of any accidents happening to the Heavenly Emperor, who had pampered and cared for him. However, at this very moment, the Heavenly Emperor was already having a confrontation with Mao Shu.

After five thousand years, the two people met again. The tit for tat spiritual energy formed a huge circle in the battlefield. The surrounding soldiers trying to rush forward, were forced to retreat again and again, like a dead leaf facing a strong wind, and the people attempting to get close would knock against the people behind them instead.

When the people behind tried to steer clear, the fierce spiritual energy would instantly appear before them. Without a place to hide, they can only be knocked back again like a chain buckle, and forced to receive a new energy wave at the same time. One after another of spiritual energy, without end, which no one can approach, nor able to stop.

A loud sound suddenly reverberated, and the golden light converged. Two afterimages collided in midair, which were so fast that it could hardly be seen. Mao Shu’s current expression no longer had the usual pretentious gentleness and elegance, but was filled with a strong sense of cruelty: “Where are you hiding his corpse?!”

He has searched for five thousand years, but was still unable to locate the whereabouts of that person. The Demon Realm built a tomb for that person, but his corpse wasn’t in there. Without a corpse, he still cannot be brought back to life, even if there’s already a method of resurrection.

But the Heavenly Emperor, Taihao’s expression remained serene and unruffled as before, and even had an implicit sense of pity: “He has already been dead for several thousands of years. Why do you still persist on clinging to a dead person? You’ve planned for so many years, implicated so many people, and spilled so much blood. Is it really worth it?”

The dead person they were talking about is the former Demon Emperor, Cang Yi, who is also An Ying’s father. Starting from five thousand years ago, Mao Shu had searched for a method of resurrection, mercilessly used An Ying’s biological mother as a sacrifice and refined her, planted the two flowers in An Ying’s body when he was young, and also told An Ying that his biological mother was buried in the Fantasy Sea of the Heavenly Realm.

An Ying’s biological mother was indeed a part of the Heavenly Race, but had already been scattered to ashes and dispersed to smoke by Mao Shu a long time ago. So, how can her body still possibly be in the Fantasy Sea?

This is merely a scam.

In fact, from the moment An Ying was found by Mao Shu as a child, everything was a scam.

Mao Shu saw through the Little Phoenix’s affection to An Ying, and foresaw the thunder and fire punishment he had to bear for breaking into the Fantasy Sea. He fancied the Zhao Huo decree of the Little Phoenix, and believed that the Little Phoenix will give out the Zhao Huo decree to help An Ying’s resist the thunder and fire. He had already obtained a method of resurrection, and the flowers planted in An Ying’s body had also matured. So long as the Heavenly Emperor was forced to hand over Cang Yi’s corpse with the intimidation of the Zhao Huo decree, An Ying’s life can be used as an exchange to resurrect Cang Yi.

Unfortunately, despite having prepared everything, but how could Mao Shu know that Cang Yi’s corpse had actually been placed in the Fantasy Sea? Not to mention that Cang Yi had actually been resurrected under the influence of the two flowers in An Ying, but had also completely dissipated without a trace because of the Little Phoenix’s interference. Mao Shu’s sword directly pointed to Taihao, as he spoke word for word: “I’ve said it a long time ago, I don’t care whether the process is worthwhile, I only want the result.”
