Kamimine

Chapter 169 Heavenly Scroll
The Witch Cauldron Desolate Heavenly Tribulation has only one form.

The Witch Cauldron appeared, and the power of the six tribulations of nature poured down, suppressing heaven and earth and refining gods and demons.

"Devouring Great Cauldron Technique—"

The Crimson Vulture Ancestor and the Ginseng Tree Emperor still thought it was a divine skill from the Nine Heavens Ancient Glory Kingdom.

They shouted in unison, one exhaling smoke that transformed into a crimson dragon; the other unleashing a raging fire that transformed into a city of fire, attempting to block the natural power of the Six Tribulations.

Thunder, lightning, annihilation... six great natural calamities descended, causing widespread destruction and collapse.

The Crimson Vulture Ancestor and the Ginseng Tree King were both shocked and angry, yet also envious, realizing that the technique of guiding the divine treasure could be so powerful.

The secret of the Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance Kingdom is indeed powerful. No wonder the Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance God was able to sweep across the world with it when he was young.

"How long can you hold out? We'll send you on your way."

Liu Chengfeng laughed loudly. Although there was no spiritual energy to absorb here, he activated the "Earth Longevity Thunder Heart Method".

Divine blood roared, blood energy surged like waves, circulating throughout the body, vitality was abundant and vigorous, and the true fire of life flowed endlessly.

The ash of nothingness burns ever brighter, and the natural power of the Six Tribulations grows ever stronger.

The red dragon was burned, and the flames consumed it.

"not good--"

The Crimson Vulture Ancestor and the Ginseng Tree King were shocked and screamed in agony as their bodies were being burned and refined; they could not withstand it.

"A gift from God—"

They had no choice but to shout loudly, unleash their hidden power, and let their divinely bestowed strength erupt.

With divine might, a majestic figure appeared, unleashing the power of a divine general that blasted across 30,000 miles.

The divine power swept in, and even with Liu Chengfeng raising his national shield and using his internal energy to protect himself, he still couldn't withstand it and was blasted away.

"Divine General, what rank?"

When Liu Chengfeng saw the two tall figures appear, awe-inspiring and suppressing all directions, he felt a chill in his heart.

You deserve to die—

The Crimson Vulture Ancestor roared, his heart filled with rage at being so badly killed by a demigod.

"It is your honor to die by the grace of God."

The Ginseng Tree King was also filled with murderous intent, determined to kill this junior today.

Two gods bestowed upon them, their immense power overwhelming everything.

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine. He had felt this kind of power in Sima Wujian, who was a divine general.

"kill--"

The two divine gifts erupted, and the power of the gods crushed everything in their path like a vast ocean, destroying a hundred thousand miles of land and sky.

The power of the divine general surged forth, and all the karmic fire and vengeful spirits were terrified and trembled in fear.

With a deafening roar, the divine general charged in, but before he could even reach Liu Chengfeng, he suddenly unleashed a powerful sword strike, piercing through the divine gift.

"Who is it—"

The Ginseng Tree King and the Crimson Vulture Ancestor were greatly surprised and turned around abruptly.

Before the Ginseng Tree King and the Crimson Vulture Ancestor could even react, the sword pierced their skulls and destroyed their primordial spirits.

"god--"

The Ginseng Tree King and the Crimson Vulture Ancestor stared wide-eyed at the stunning beauty who had suddenly made her move.

They couldn't believe their eyes, but sadly, they never got to know the truth.

"Sister, you've come at just the right time."

Liu Chengfeng laughed loudly when he saw Yu Huanrui killed with a single sword strike.

Yu Huanrui possessed unparalleled beauty and stood barefoot in the air.

Her feet were like a crescent moon, her toes delicate and charming, their pink hue and fragrance captivating Liu Chengfeng, who could never tire of looking at her.

Yu Huanrui looked at all the vengeful spirits in the karmic fire, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Does your sister recognize them?"

Liu Chengfeng stood beside her and felt her sorrow.

"May they rest in peace and enjoy bliss."

Yu Huanrui composed herself, sighed softly, her voice low and melodious.

"Then we can only perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife."

With so many vengeful spirits and karmic flames, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine. It wouldn't be easy to help them pass on.

Yu Huanrui looked up at Liu Chengfeng. She couldn't help him pass on, but Liu Chengfeng could.

At this moment, the vengeful spirit of karmic fire that had been leading Liu Chengfeng beckoned to them, urging them to follow.

"He must have a secret to tell you."

Yu Huanrui saw through the deception and followed the vengeful spirit of karmic fire with Liu Chengfeng.

Led by vengeful spirits and karmic flames, they traversed the ruins, twisting and turning, and ventured deep underground.

Liu Chengfeng and Yu Huanrui followed, passing through the crack and going deep underground.

Deep underground, there are fissures, winding and mysterious, leading to who knows where.

Underground, there are countless vengeful spirits and resentful energy, and the area is filled with malevolent power.

"What kind of power is this?"

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the pervasive evil power.

"I'm afraid it's related to the Divine Sacrifice Karmic Fire Realm."

Yu Huanrui also looked solemn.

“This is definitely not karmic fire. This power comes from darkness and evil, it can’t be karmic fire.”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head in denial.

"But it has the underlying nature of karmic fire."

Yu Huanrui understood the Divine Sacrifice Fire Realm better than Liu Chengfeng.

"Damn it, I don't believe that some kind of karmic fire destroyed an ancient kingdom. Absolutely not."

Liu Chengfeng sneered. He could sense that this power did not originate from the karmic fire.

It is very similar to black energy, but it is unknown where this power comes from, as cultivators cannot develop this power.

Yu Huanrui sighed softly, but said nothing.

Seeing the countless vengeful spirits burning underground, she looked sorrowful.

"They were originally dead, but they were parasitized by evil forces."

Yu Huanrui sighed softly.

"Compared to the outside being burned to ashes, leaving only resentment, who suffers more?"

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The deeper you go, the more evil forces accumulate underground, and the stronger the karmic fire and vengeful spirits become.

They would not attack Liu Chengfeng, because the Taiyin Body within him possessed a resentful aura that made him close to them.

Instead, it tried to attack Yu Huanrui, but Yu Huanrui used her powerful sword energy to block the karmic fire and vengeful spirits.

"Be careful--"

Passing through the underground fissure, one is surrounded by sinister power, as if it were waiting to devour its inhabitants.

Yu Huanrui's sword energy protected Liu Chengfeng, enveloping him and leading him through one dangerous situation after another.

With Liu Chengfeng's strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to overcome each dangerous situation.

Finally, they ventured deep underground, where the place resembled a giant pit.

It seems that some force pierced through the earth and sank this place.

Within the large pit, the yin and evil were as dense as water, accumulating into a pool.

In the pool lies an ancient talisman, incomplete yet imbued with the essence of the Great Dao, giving rise to runes and containing the might of Heaven.

It was this talisman, like a lock between heaven and earth, that firmly held back the evil forces, preventing them from escaping completely.

There was black mist in the pool, like small snakes swimming around, absorbing evil energy in an attempt to strengthen itself.

"Celestial Scroll—"

Upon seeing the scene in the pond, Yu Huanrui exclaimed in surprise.

"The Heavenly Scroll, the legend is true, the Ancient Radiant Kingdom of Nine Heavens possesses the Heavenly Scroll."

Liu Chengfeng was also surprised; the Heavenly Scroll resembled a talisman, but it was incomplete. Legend has it that the Heavenly Scroll was born from heaven and earth, a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, but whether this was true or not was unknown.

"I have never seen it either."

Yu Huanrui shook her head slightly; there were too many unsolved mysteries.

"That old bastard is indeed here."

Starlight flickered at his fingertips as Liu Chengfeng stared at the black mist in the pool.

It is absorbing the power of evil spirits to strengthen itself, but the Heavenly Scroll exerts a certain degree of suppression on it.

"This power comes from the evil spirits of the burial ground."

Yu Huanrui knows quite a lot.

The black mist in the pool made the karmic fire and vengeful spirits wary, and they dared not approach, as if they would be devoured.

"When the ancient kingdom was destroyed, the evil power overflowed, but it was bound by the Heavenly Scroll. Only when the imperial city was affected would there be karmic fire and vengeful spirits."

Yu Huanrui deduced the general outline of everything.

"That wasn't karmic fire that destroyed the Nine Heavens Ancient Empire; it was the power of evil, only it had the undertones of karmic fire."

Liu Chengfeng was quite certain that the talk of karmic retribution and divine punishment was utter nonsense.

"I'm afraid it was man-made."

Liu Chengfeng looked at Yu Huanrui.

"Sister, tell me, what reason could there be for someone to destroy the Nine Heavens Ancient Empire? Was their crime so heinous?"

Liu Chengfeng doubted that there could be any serious crime involved.

Yu Huanrui's delicate body trembled slightly. Despite her strength, her face turned pale, and she clenched her hands tightly.

My fingertips were embedded in the flesh, and I felt no pain or bleeding.

Liu Chengfeng pried open her fingers, chewed up some wild pills, and applied them to her wounds, feeling a pang of heartache.

"Sister knows too."

Liu Chengfeng held her fingers tightly, preventing her from gripping them firmly.

Yu Huanrui snapped out of her daze and tried to shake him off, but couldn't, so she had to give up.

Yu Huanrui took a deep breath, looked at the evil power, and sighed softly.

"What sins could be so grave?"

The voice was low and melodious, poignant and sorrowful.

"Is my sister a disciple of the Nine Heavens Ancient Radiance Kingdom?"

Liu Chengfeng had already guessed it.

"A former royal princess, the sole survivor."

Yu Huanrui spoke softly, without tears, her eyes filled with endless sorrow, poignant and moving.

Liu Chengfeng felt a tightness in his chest. The princess of the Nine Heavens Ancient Glory Kingdom, a descendant of the Nine Heavens Ancient Glory God.

The Nine Heavens Ancient Glory Kingdom had been destroyed for so long, yet this princess survived. What an incredible ordeal that must have been!

“They are all my family, but I can’t recognize who is who.”

Yu Huanrui looked at the vengeful spirits who dared not approach the karmic fire, filled with endless sorrow.

Liu Chengfeng's heart trembled slightly, and he held her fingers tightly. This kind of sorrow was something that no one else could truly understand.

Do you know who the murderer is?

Liu Chengfeng asked softly.

The number of beings in the entire Qingmeng Realm capable of annihilating the ancient divine dynasty overnight can be counted on one's fingers.

Yu Huanrui gently shook her head and remained silent.

Or perhaps she knew, or maybe she could guess, but she wasn't sure.

After a moment, Yu Huanrui composed herself, concealed her sorrow, and remained as beautiful and serene as ever.

A peerless beauty, noble and stunning.

"Take the Heavenly Scroll."

Yu Huanrui asked Liu Chengfeng to take away the Heavenly Scroll.

"This is a family heirloom of my sister."

Liu Chengfeng shook his head slightly. He had also thought about seizing the Heavenly Scroll, but he would not take Yu Huanrui's things.

"The divine treasures are no longer of any use to me. You have a unique path that suits you."

"It's better for you to take it with you than for it to be buried with me."

Such ominous words made Liu Chengfeng's heart sink.

"Okay, I'll take it. If you need anything, just let me know."

Liu Chengfeng didn't stand on ceremony or stand on ceremony, and reached out to take the Heavenly Scroll.

The black mist swimming in the pool roared, showing hostility towards Liu Chengfeng.

"How dare you—"

Yu Huanrui's beautiful eyes turned cold, and she unleashed a powerful sword aura that struck the black energy.

The black energy was dispersed, then gathered again, still roaring.

Yu Huanrui struck again, her sword energy shattering the black energy and annihilating it.

But it was no use; it could still gather again by relying on its evil energy.

"Only by eliminating all evil spirits can we eradicate it."

Liu Chengfeng saw through the clues; the black aura and the evil spirits seemed to share the same origin, and the black aura must be even more ancient.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult, as the evil power has the undertone of karmic fire and is close to being inextinguishable."

Even someone as powerful as Yu Huanrui couldn't destroy this evil spirit; otherwise, the Tiankui Divine Kingdom wouldn't have only sealed off the Nine Heavens Abyss of Resentful Souls.

"let me."

Liu Chengfeng took out Ye Huijian's treasure bottle and poured out a portion of the divine fire.

The divine fire poured out, causing the black energy to roar in terror, and the evil forces were also filled with dread.

"This is--"

Yu Huanrui was also shocked when she saw Liu Chengfeng's unique divine fire.

No more than three people in the Azure Mist Realm can refine such divine fire, or even fewer.

Liu Chengfeng wielded divine fire, which hissed and burned away the black mist.

The black energy tried to struggle and escape, but it couldn't escape at all and was burned to ashes by the divine fire.

"Burn it all."

Liu Chengfeng shouted, wielding divine fire that spread like a vast net, enveloping the evil spirits and spreading in all directions.

All the vengeful spirits were horrified, but they could not escape the divine fire; all the evil power within them was extracted.

Divine fire swept from the depths of the earth to the surface, drawing out and burning all the evil power of karmic fire and vengeful spirits.

"Let it end here, don't wander in this wretched world."

All the vengeful spirits and karmic flames collapsed like mountains of gold and jade pillars, causing Yu Huanrui to grieve.

In the end, all the evil power was burned away, and the karmic fire and vengeful spirits, having lost their support, all collapsed.

The evil energy in the pool was burned away, and the celestial scroll fell there, shimmering with heavenly might.

Liu Chengfeng put it away; the Heavenly Scroll of the Guide God is a rare treasure in the mortal world.

"It's all resentment."

Looking at all the fallen vengeful spirits, their resentment still lingered, like each soul weeping and grieving.

They were burned to death, but were transformed into vengeful spirits by evil forces, wandering the ruins.

Now that the evil energy has been burned away, the vengeful spirit remains trapped inside the corpse and cannot leave.

"Let me perform the ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife."

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath.

"No, they are much stronger, and you might not be able to withstand them."

Yu Huanrui shook her head.

The vengeful spirits here are far more powerful than those outside. If Liu Chengfeng wants to help them pass on, he might have to exhaust his blood reserves.
