Chapter 712: Chapter 23: Celestial Emperor · Lu Ya

"What on earth is the Lord of the Netherworld thinking?!"

Gazing worriedly at the scene of the Jinhong Clan proving the Dao, Xiluo’s eyes were full of anger and confusion.

Clearly it was He who had personally orchestrated the Jinhong Clan’s experiences, turning him from a gentle, virtuous youth into the God of Slaughter he was now.

Xiluo had originally thought that the Lord of the Netherworld wanted to maintain the normal flow of history in another way.

But judging from the current situation, the Jinhong Clan’s act of proving the Dao was obviously completely overturning the original course of history.

Once the Jinhong Clan successfully proved the Dao, the changes to history would be simply unimaginable.

As for the appearance of the Buddha Mother and Ksitigarbha?

Knowing the Jinhong Clan’s character all too well, Xiluo didn’t think at all that the two of them showing up would be able to stop him.

If you think on the surface, this might be Ksitigarbha’s personal action.

After all, given the independence he had displayed, doing something like this wasn’t difficult for him.

If you think a bit deeper, who’s to say this wasn’t the Lord of the Netherworld deliberately provoking the Jinhong Clan?

In any case, from the very beginning Xiluo had never thought that the Buddha Mother suddenly appearing would be a good thing for the Jinhong Clan.

"He’s just going with the flow."

At this moment, Li Boyang slowly withdrew his gaze as well, and explained to Xiluo with a light smile.

"You always like to jump to conclusions like this; that’s really not a good habit!"

"What makes you so sure the Lord of the Netherworld is the maintainer of this stretch of history?"

Nailing the key point in one sentence, Li Boyang continued speaking under Xiluo’s astonished gaze.

"The Lord of the Netherworld is a being born at the very Opening Heaven and Earth; His life is almost as long as this world itself."

"If you look at it from this angle, you’ll find that these eight hundred years of the Celestial Emperor’s rule can practically be considered the Lord of the Netherworld’s ’yesterday’."

Her gaze gradually growing enlightened, Xiluo took the thread of conversation on her own and spoke.

"For an existence of the Lord’s level, once ’yesterday’ changes, then it just changes; it basically won’t have much impact on His life."

"No, in fact, a similar impact has already occurred once!"

"When you proved the Dao back then, Emperor Hao wanted to cross time and space to descend, but he was stopped by the Lord of the Mansion of the past."

"From that moment on, the Lord possessed two separate sets of ’past’ memories at the same time."

The more she spoke, the clearer it became; by now Xiluo had already understood what Li Boyang meant.

"The Lord doesn’t care about changes to history at all..."

"Just like Emperor Hao, He also wants to prove the Dao in this era!"

"No, what the Lord wants isn’t to prove the Dao, but Emperor Hao’s ’one proof, eternal proof’..."

"The Jinhong Clan is nothing more than His substitute, one of His attempts in this era!"

"The reason He didn’t enter the field personally, but instead went about it in such a roundabout way,"

"on one hand is indeed because He isn’t certain He can definitely defeat Emperor Hao, and on the other, He is also wary of you, who have yet to show yourself."

By the time Xiluo lifted her head again, the anger and confusion in her eyes had turned into deep helplessness.

"So what you’re saying is, right now you’re the only one who truly wants to maintain history."

Hearing this, Li Boyang merely smiled without speaking, plunging the atmosphere back into a strange silence.

Noticing this, the helplessness on Xiluo’s face vanished in an instant, replaced by a shocked realization.

"Wait, don’t tell me you also..."

......................................................

"Looks like this so‑called ’Pathfinder’ isn’t all that impressive!"

Smugly driving the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, Silver Horn met no one’s eyes wherever her gaze swept.

After all, once the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife left its sheath, it had to drink blood before it could return.

The Pathfinders had no desire to become the unlucky one targeted, and even less to become one of Silver Horn’s bragging rights before she proved the Dao.

But under these circumstances, in order to prevent their side’s battle line from collapsing entirely,

the ten Great Golden Crows naturally stepped forward to meet the challenge; even Lu Ya, who had always been sitting steady in the very rear, charged in.

At this moment, apart from the Great Golden Crow, the remaining nine Golden Crows had all joined the battle, and the astonishing combat power they displayed left people speechless.

With no support from any Magical Treasure or formation...

The nine Golden Crows were relying purely on their own Divine Power to dominate the battlefield.

Especially Lu Ya at their head, behind whom there faintly appeared a golden Divine Being with a bird’s head and human body, twin wings on its back.

That was Lu Ya from the future, Lu Ya who had already become the Celestial Emperor on some timeline.

Unlike other Pathfinders, Lu Ya knew better than anyone that he had no way out.

Once he lost, once the timeline was rewritten,

the ten Golden Crows would either be completely erased, or be replaced by some Pathfinder "occupying the magpie’s nest."

Under this life‑and‑death pressure, the Celestial Emperor Lu Ya behind him unleashed a terrifying True Sun Fire.

Whoosh!

In just an instant, the Ying Long blocking his way was burned to nothing by the True Sun Fire.

Though part of the reason lay in the True Sun Fire’s natural restraint over the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

This also indirectly showed just how terrifying Lu Ya could be when he got serious—he was simply not someone an ordinary Pathfinder could block.

Of course, the over‑the‑top performances of Silver Horn and Lu Ya also proved one fact.

Namely that Pathfinders had merely walked a bit further down the path of proving the Dao; it didn’t mean their strength would definitely surpass that of those who had yet to prove the Dao.

Especially when they ran into ruthless talents like Silver Horn and Lu Ya.

Whether by relying on talent or Magical Treasures, they could completely suppress ordinary Pathfinders.

"Big Sis!"

"Be careful of his flames, that’s not pure True Sun Fire!"

In a flash of lightning and fire, the Ying Long once again gathering the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect shouted a loud warning.

"There’s admonitory power mixed within, a kind of ’ordinance‑style’ speak‑and‑it‑is‑so ability!"

Having received Ying Long’s warning, Silver Horn immediately raised her guard, then aimed the Sword-Hiding Silver Gourd at Lu Ya.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife silently appeared behind Lu Ya’s head.

By the time he reacted, the Golden Crow that Lu Ya had transformed into was instantly beheaded, its blazing sun abruptly extinguished.

But that wasn’t the end. The chubby little doll flapped its wings, turned, and flashed a radiant smile at the Celestial Emperor Lu Ya behind him.

"You..."

His pupils shrank abruptly, and the Celestial Emperor Lu Ya inwardly cried that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, as it was his first time coming into contact with the Sword Soul of the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife,

the Celestial Emperor Lu Ya had never imagined that the other party actually possessed the ability to cross time and space.

By the time he sensed the danger, that chubby doll had already appeared in another world.

Whoosh!

Another flash of blade light, and the Celestial Emperor Lu Ya was decapitated in an instant.

Only then did the Celestial Emperor Lu Ya finally understand why the other Pathfinders were so desperate to avoid Silver Horn.

This ability of the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife to cross time and space and kill the true body was just too unreasonable!
