Chapter 829 The Unknown… Again

‘What…what’s going on?’ Everyone looked at the two phantoms, confused.

Standing face-to-face, the two Overlord phantoms seemed to know each other. However, everyone discovered that there was one difference in their appearance-the newly-arrived phantom was wrapped in blood-red chains. The iron chains were glowing red, and they encircled his limbs and his torso tightly. Nanan wrinkled her nose and said suddenly, “I sense a familiar and disgusting aura from him.”

Dragin nodded and said, “I sense it, too. It seems to be Heaven?”

“Heaven?” The Heavenly Palace people were shocked. They were, of course, familiar with the name. After all, it represented the root cause of the chaos in the seven dimensions. Heaven would have taken over the entire universe if there was no Li Nianfan. Even thinking about what Heaven did before still brought about a terrifying fear in their hearts. They were sure that Heaven was above the level of a Wisdom Dictator.

They did not expect that Heaven would appear in the Origins Realm, but then again, why would he not? After all, the supreme powers from before created the Ancient Forbidden Area to seal Heaven away, so it was not surprising that an incarnation of him would be in the Origins Realm.

Yang Jing arched his brow and said in surprise, “Is it possible that they failed to completely seal Heaven in the Ancient Forbidden Area?”

“It’s likely. However, Heaven’s just a name it calls himself. We call him The Unknown,” said the real Overlord’s phantom. “And you can call me Gravekeeper. I’ve been tasked with burying all Evil Thoughts that have been tainted with The Unknown.”

“The Unknown?”

“Tainted evil thoughts?”

“Does that mean that even the supreme powers could be tainted by The Unknown?”

They were reeling with too much new information. Each word that came from the Gravekeeper’s lips was too shocking for them. They all turned to look at the Evil Thought in unison and a chill ran up their spine. They were well aware of just how terrifying a strong cultivator would be if he was tainted by the unknown gray mist. What was more, the Evil Thought before them used to be one of the supreme powers, so it would be even more terrifying than any other strong cultivator.

The Evil Thought smiled coldly and said in a low voice, “Bullsh*t! I’m not The Unknown, but a brand new power. I’ll create a new world which will be my gift to all beings!”

Then, he turned to the Gravekeeper and said, “Now that the ancestral land has opened, my aura has reappeared in the world. Everything from the past will inevitably wake up. No one can stop me now. It’s better for you and me to merge. That’ll speed up the process of creating a new world!”

The Gravekeeper looked at the Evil Thought calmly and said, “You’ve tried to bewitch me for endless years and I’ve never paid you any mind. I don’t care about anything that happens in the outside world. All I care about is stopping you from stepping out of the ancestral land!”

“Hahaha, are you sure you can do it now that things have come to this?” asked the Evil Thought. Then, he looked at Yun Kong and others and asked with a smile, “Have you made up your mind? Are you willing to accept my power?”

Yun Kong and the others had a rough picture of what was happening. The ancestral land was created to seal away the Evil Thought that had been tainted by The Unknown. They could not see any other way out of the situation now things have come to this, and they were here in pursuit of power, so…

“We’re willing!” they said firmly.

“Hahaha, good!” The Evil Thought cackled incessantly and his eyes suddenly turned gray. In the next instant, a cloud of unknown gray mist shrouded Yun Kong and the others like thousands of tentacles flowing into their bodies continuously.

The aura on their bodies became stronger and stronger with the infusion of the unknown gray mist. In the blink of an eye, they had regained their lost power and at the same time, pairs of wings reappeared on their foreheads. This time, however, the wings were gray!

Yun Kong and the others were ecstatic. Their eyes looked strange and ferocious and there was a slightly hysterical edge in their voices.

“My power’s back!”

“Hahaha, I’ve never felt so strong before!”

“I pledge my undying loyalty to the new Overlord!”

“Greetings, Overlord!”

The Gravekeeper’s eyes darkened when he saw what happened. He sighed and said, “The Overlord killed himself, turned this ancestral land into a seal, and left the power of the bloodline to the Yun clan. Through the Blood Sacrifice Day, the seal can be maintained forever. Never would I dream that the Yun Clan would be the one to open up the ancestral land!”

That had to be the irony of the century.

“Go to the depths of the ancestral land and release me from the seal!” ordered the Evil Thought.

The seal could only be broken by external forces. That was where Yun Kong and his men came in handy.

men

“Yes, Overlord!” Immediately, Yun Kong and his men followed the chains into the depths of the ancestral land.

“Stop!” The Gravekeeper’s expression changed drastically. With a grunt, he launched a palm strike toward Yun Kong and his men. The palm strike contained enough power to seal the sky and imprison everything between it and the earth. It froze everything within it and it could even annihilate everything in it.

Even though Yun Kong and his men had greatly increased their spiritual cultivation, they were still inferior ants under the attack. However, the Evil Thought obviously would not let his chance of escaping from the seal die, so he, too, launched a palm strike. His palm strike was exactly the same as the Gravekeeper’s.

They were polar opposites of good and evil, but they came from the same source, so their skill and ultimate spells were naturally of the same level. They cast one spell after another, neither gaining the upper hand.

“Let’s go. We need to stop them. We mustn’t let them release the Evil Thought!” said Nanan.

Everyone agreed and prepared to cross the battlefield. However, just as they took the first step, a strong aura of death enveloped everyone, making their hair stand while a chill ran down their spines.

“Death Point!” shouted the Evil Thought while pointing languidly in the direction of Nanan and the others. This point felt like the arrival of the Grim Reaper, cutting off the world of life and death. There was no resisting death at all.

It was difficult to resist the force that separated life and death even with the two willow branches glowing brilliantly against it. The shadow of death instantly shrouded everyone.

“Deathly Point!” shouted the Gravekeeper, just in time to neutralize the Evil Thought’s ultimate spell with one of his own.

Nanan and the others sighed in relief. However, their heartbeats did not slow down and they dared not move. The fact that the Evil Thought could attack them meant that it had the upper-hand in the battle with the Gravekeeper. In other words, there was a high probability that the Gravekeeper would lose this round.

Sure enough, after a while, both the Evil Thought and the Gravekeeper went still after a terrifying explosion of power. The Evil Thought was surrounded by thick gray mist, giving him an eerie look. It seemed to become stronger as the battle went on.

On the other hand, the Gravekeeper looked even fainter than before. Gone was his solid composure that made him seem so lifelike earlier. His voice was trembling and it was obvious that he had lost a lot of his energy.

“In the past, this seal was maintained by the power of the Yun Clan’s bloodline. This time, there was no Blood Sacrifice Day, so there’s not much of the phantom’s power left,” said Yang Jing worriedly with a pale face.
