Chapter 411: Minghe Reappears

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The Karma was formed and Minghe could do nothing about it. He could not have guessed the intention of a Supreme Realm expert. He could not decide whether it was a blessing or a curse. Apart from that Karma, Hongjun had another deadly one. Hongjun bore the reason, and Minghe had the result.

Hongjun snatched a branch from the Star Tree of the Origin and trapped Minghe. If Minghe died, there would be no more Karma. For the last 1,000 years, Hongjun had been calculating. He could foresee all Creatures dead, except for Minghe. Minghe’s fate was vague, which made him unpredictable.

It was a headache for Hongjun that Minghe did not die. He knew clearly who Minghe was. In Untainted Land, whoever went against Minghe had suffered. Now, he had become Minghe’s archenemy. Even if he had wanted to, Minghe would not reconcile. A peaceful settlement was impossible.

One thing Hongjun found relieving was that Minghe’s fate was faintly discernible now. Minghe must have been badly injured, and it would take him several thousand years to recover. During this period of time, Hongjun would surpass him. Even when Minghe sought revenge in the future, Hongjun could crush him and eliminate him for good.

At the thought of this, Hongjun immediately began to heal himself. He lost some of his Origin in the action, and it affected his cultivation badly. After he had completely recovered, he had to find out Minghe’s whereabouts. He had to find Minghe and kill him while he was vulnerable, even if it would consume more of his Origin.

"Boom!" The Zixiao Palace trembled suddenly as though it had been attacked. Hongjun’s countenance changed, and he looked up through the Zixiao Palace. There in the sky stood one man watching him coldly. Hongjun was frightened as he blurted out, "Minghe..."

1,000 years ago beside the Star Tree of the Origin...

Hongjun’s action surprised Minghe in that he originally thought Hongjun would have the entire tree. But actually, Hongjun had just picked one branch, which seemed kind of trifling.

But Hongjun’s trifling action led to serious consequences. When the limit on the tree was set off, Minghe felt nothing but formidable and powerful strength. That kind of strength did not belong to someone in the Fate Realm, even not to the experts in the Half Step to the Supreme Realm.

The strength struck Minghe with the same feeling that he felt from the protective formations in the Mystery Territory of Earth. It was the strength of Supreme Realm masters. Such an attack in the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons was formidable. It could eliminate everything from human bodies and Original Spirits to Magic Weapons. Nothing could compare unless it was a Supreme Realm tactical formation.

Hongjun should have died under such an attack. However, Minghe did not think so because he knew Hongjun clearly. Hongjun swallowed the Way of Heaven by combining his body with the Tao. He would not commit suicide. He must have had a plan. Minghe felt that Hongjun would do something that no one had done before.

Though Hongjun was his opponent and had trapped him, Minghe had respect for Hongjun’s sophistication. If you were not cruel and cunning, you might die on the way to the Tao. People talked about good and evil, but who were they to decide the boundary between good and evil?

Hongjun did not disappoint. He used the vital force people left on the tree to disperse the attack from the limit. Hongjun took only a little bit of the attack. Moreover, he exploded the chessboard to ward it off. Thus, he had only been slightly injured. It was the first time that someone had survived the attack of the Star Tree of the Origin’s limit. If word was spread, it would shock the entire Central Region.

But Hongjun would never allow that. The Star Tree of the Origin was a valuable treasure. Even one of its branches could grow into a seedling Star Tree of the Origin. Once the word got out, he would be the target of all the forces around. Even the Sacred Sky Sect that he belonged to would hunt him down unless he handed the branch over to the sect.

Hongjun never planned to give away the seedling. No matter how big the reward was, it could not compete with the Star Tree of the Origin in the least. To stop any disclosure, Hongjun had to get rid of everyone there. Only dead men could keep a secret.

After the limit’s attack, Hongjun flew into the sky to search for survivors. The only survivor was an expert at the Peak of the Fate Realm. But he was badly injured and without any Magic Weapon. Surely, he could not compete with Hongjun and was killed easily. Once peace was restored, Hongjun left after making sure that no one else remained.

The only escapee was Minghe. Minghe had been shattered to pieces by the Restricting Power and lost all of his Original Spirit. However, Minghe had grown from an Immortal Demon Body to an Indestructible Demon Body during his tribulation passing in Untainted Land. If he only had an Immortal Demon Body, he would be dead. But now, he had an Indestructible Demon Body.

Moreover, Minghe had taken precautions against Hongjun. When the State of Mind had warned him, Minghe figured out that the danger came from the limit on the Star Tree of the Origin. At that time, he did not know the reason. Even still, he had equipped himself.

There were 49 Blood God Doppelgangers. Every Blood God Doppelganger carried one of Minghe’s Original Spirits. It was small, but it came exactly from Minghe’s Original Spirit. Thus, the Original Spirit vital force of the Blood God Doppelganger was the same as Minghe’s. Additionally, Minghe had used the Law of Spiritual Beings to divide the Restricting Power into 50 portions.

The 49 Blood God Doppelgangers were eliminated in a minute. But Minghe was able to ward off the shrunken Restricting Power. The power crushed his body and fell on his Original Spirit in the end. However, he had been collecting Merits during these years and gained a Golden Wheel of Merit. It was the wheel that parried the lingering Restricting Power.

When it became chaotic, Minghe fell into the Void, where his shattered Indestructible Demon Body had gathered again. The final seemingly fatal blow did not hurt Minghe much. His body and Original Spirit were only slightly damaged. But, the Karma between Minghe and Hongjun was formed. Since Hongjun had betrayed him, Minghe would trust him no more.

When he guessed Hongjun’s intention for the tree, Minghe summoned his Three Separations, who were practicing beside the sun and moon. If Hongjun was scheming, Minghe would not let him. It was natural that Minghe also wanted a share since the Star Tree of the Origin was indeed valuable.

The Three Separations had been hiding in the Void, ready to attack. To go completely unnoticed, Good Separation Heaven and Earth Taoist even put Evil Separation Red Lotus Taoist and Selfcentric Separation Musen into the World of Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth Taoist hid in the Void alone and covered his vital force. After all, many experts were on the scene.

While Minghe was waiting for the Fruits of Stars to ripen, Heaven and Earth Taoist was not idle. Other than the mighty limit of the Star Tree of the Origin, the entire planet was under a giant complicated and compounded tactical formation limit, which interested him a lot.

When he was being enlightened on the alignment of the sun, moon, and stars, Minghe gave him the Magical Tao Mirror to help him learn the abstruse more quickly in order to improve the Cosmic Stars Formation. Now, the Magical Tao Mirror would be very helpful.

With the Magical Tao Mirror, Heaven and Earth Taoist could comprehend all tactical formation limits on the planet more quickly. Since Hongjun set his mind on the Star Tree of the Origin, Minghe would naturally catch up. With Enlightenment of all tactical formations and limits on the planet, he could manage to have the entire Star Tree of the Origin.

Actually, Hongjun’s action broke the limit on the Star Tree of the Origin, leaving a weakness in the limit on the tree and the planet. This offered a great opportunity to Minghe. Initially, the intact tactical formation limit was hard to break down. But now, it was different.

Even the slightest weakness in the limit would greatly benefit Minghe. Every time that all the Fruits of Stars of the Origin were picked, the planet would shift to another space with the tree without a trace. Hongjun simply wanted a branch to grow a seedling, but Minghe was more ruthless. He wanted to put the entire planet into the World of Heaven and Earth.

Because Hongjun had caused a weakness in the tactical formation limit, such a wild plan was possible. Heaven and Earth Taoist seized the opportunity to connect the World of Heaven and Earth with the space power of the planet when it was shifting. Finally, with a lot of world power, the Star Tree of the Origin along with the planet were swallowed into the World of Heaven and Earth.

When it was finished, Minghe felt a sharp Karma sweeping over him. The Star Tree of the Origin must have been set up in the Starry Sky Region by some almighty expert, thus Minghe’s theft naturally drew the Karma. Fortunately, Red Lotus Taoist had mastered the Principle of Karma. He transferred the Karma to Hongjun with a lot of Red Lotus of Fire Origin. It was fortunate that Hongjun had plotted against Minghe, which formed Karma between them. Otherwise, Red Lotus Taoist could not have done the transferring.

That was why Hongjun felt the intense Karma afterward. Through Minghe’s aura, Hongjun had shifted the Star Tree of the Origin’s limit to Minghe. Thus, by their Karma, Minghe transferred the almighty expert’s Karma to Hongjun—it was tit for tat. In Untainted Land or in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, Minghe never lost.
