Zhou Youwei forces the Palace Master of the Black Sky Demon Palace to reveal himself and finds a hidden, powerful captive. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan encounters the Black Sky Eight Trigrams, who is enraged upon recognizing him as Zhou Youwei's husband. The Eight Trigrams attacks Ye Xuan with a powerful technique, but Ye Xuan effortlessly defeats the attack and retaliates with the Red Lotus Karma Fire, causing the Eight Trigrams immense suffering.

Just as Ye Xuan had said.

The more one understands Karma, the more one dreads Karma.

The ones who understand Karma best in this world are naturally the Black Sky Clan.

Yet it is precisely because of this that the Black Sky Clan fears Karma the most.

They manipulate the Karma Dao and have wrought boundless Karma.

And the Red Lotus Karma Fire is the manifestation of all Karma in this world.

As long as Karma in the world does not dissipate, the Red Lotus Karma Fire will forever endure.

So back then, the grand vow of that Ancient Buddha old monk was indeed vast beyond measure.

It is just that the Karma of this world is fundamentally impossible to disperse.

Even if all living beings were to be utterly annihilated.

Karma would still persist.

And once tainted by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, one’s Karma will be ignited, True Spirit burned.

The agony of it is beyond words.

In this world, there are only two who have ever withstood the Red Lotus Karma Fire head-on.

One was the Ancient Buddha old monk of the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave, who has now been annihilated.

The second is Ye Xuan.

When he took the Red Lotus Karma Fire away from the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave, at first Ye Xuan used the power of a Myriad Forms Body to Zhen-suppress it.

Now, he uses his own Taoist Body to Zhen-suppress it.

At every moment, he is being burned by the Karma Fire.

After all, the Karma Ye Xuan has wrought is simply too terrifying.

"Kill me!"

Black Sky Eight Diagrams howled in torment.

His cries were filled with Despair.

This sudden turn of events left the many Guming Clan powerhouses in the Divine City utterly stunned.

Especially that white-haired old man who knew the identity of Black Sky Eight Diagrams—his face was full of shock.

The Daoist of Eight Diagrams, as one of the three Daoists of the Black Sky Demon Palace, possesses incomparably mighty strength and is certain to assume control of the Black Sky Demon Palace in the future, becoming the strongest existence in the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld Great World.

Yet now he was actually being Zhen-suppressed so miserably by an obscure youth of the Guming Clan?

What in the heavens is going on?

At the same time.

Within the Divine City of the Guming Divine Dynasty, in the Divine Capital Forbidden Zone.

Only the Guming God Emperor is qualified to set foot in this place.

Within the Forbidden Zone, boundless white clouds coil and drift.

At the very center stands a pavilion of mountain and water hidden amid the mist and clouds.

At this moment, within the pavilion, two people sit facing each other.

One is a middle-aged man clad in black imperial robes, bearded, with tiger-like eyes bright and spirited, bearing majesty without anger.

Facing him sits a woman in white Daoist robes, holding a horsetail whisk.

The woman wears a hazy veil, her features indistinct.

But one can imagine she is a peerless beauty.

The two sit opposite each other.

"The Black Sky Demon Palace has found an enemy?"

The middle-aged man spoke slowly, his voice mellow, yet carrying an inexplicable authority.

The woman nodded slightly and said, "Origin unknown, strength extremely formidable."

The middle-aged man looked at the woman with some surprise. "For someone to receive such an appraisal from you, Black Sky Mysterious Goddess, it seems the other party is truly not simple."

Black Sky Mysterious Goddess!

This was the woman’s name.

At the same time, the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess was the Palace Master of the Black Sky Demon Palace!

She is the strongest figure of the Black Sky Clan on the surface.

And the middle-aged man in black imperial robes sitting across from the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess—his identity is likewise obvious.

He is precisely the Guming God Emperor of the Guming Divine Dynasty.

He too is the strongest figure of the Guming Clan on the surface.

The two titans sat as co-chairs, yet the atmosphere seemed calm and natural.

Clearly, the two often meet like this.

"I’ll go back and take a look first. As for recent matters, I’ll trouble you to keep an eye on them."

The Black Sky Mysterious Goddess spoke softly.

Her voice was very Piaomiao, as if drifting from an extremely distant place.

Hearing this, the Guming God Emperor nodded and said, "The plan is already underway; for the moment, no other incidents have occurred. If things on your side cannot be resolved, just inform this Emperor."

"Hm?"

As his words fell, the Guming God Emperor suddenly let out a sound of puzzlement.

The Black Sky Mysterious Goddess also knit her brows.

They both sensed what was happening in the Divine City.

"Isn’t your Black Sky Demon Palace’s Daoist of Eight Diagrams known for never leaving seclusion? How is he in the Divine City?"

The Guming God Emperor looked toward the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess, his gaze calm as he asked in an even tone.

The Black Sky Mysterious Goddess pondered and said, "Perhaps it is the handiwork of that Zhou Youwei. But then who is that youth of the Guming Clan? Does your Guming Clan have other Snow Storage?"

The Guming God Emperor shook his head. "The ten Divine Sons of my Guming Clan were all personally enlightened by you. As for others, even I do not know of them."

"Why not go take a look together?"

The Guming God Emperor glanced at the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess.

The Black Sky Mysterious Goddess lightly nodded her delicate head. "Very well."

In the next instant.

The two of them appeared out of thin air at the very highest reaches above the Divine City of the Guming Divine Dynasty.

That cosmos had no one coming to it.

The two stood upon the void, and across several universes, gazed toward Ye Xuan and Black Sky Eight Diagrams.

At this moment, Black Sky Eight Diagrams was being tormented to the point of wanting to live yet unable to die.

And it was also at this moment that Ye Xuan perceived the auras of the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess and the Guming God Emperor.

He lifted his head to look at that highest cosmos.

The three pairs of eyes were separated by several universes.

They looked at each other across the void.

The Black Sky Mysterious Goddess and the Guming God Emperor were both taken aback.

They had not expected that this Guming Clan youth would be so astonishing as to sense their presence at once.

"Not simple."

The Guming God Emperor offered his evaluation.

The Black Sky Mysterious Goddess furrowed her brows tightly, let out a turbid breath, and said, "He is not of the Guming Clan. He is that Zhou Youwei’s husband."

The Guming God Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. "Zhou Youwei went to the Black Sky Demon Palace, and this person came to the Guming Divine Dynasty. Could it be..."

The Black Sky Mysterious Goddess spoke in a solemn voice: "They’ve come for the ’Our Realm Plan’!"

Boom!

It was also at this moment that Ye Xuan crossed several universes and suddenly descended before the two of them.

"What a coincidence. I didn’t expect the rulers of the Black Sky Clan and the Guming Clan to both be here."

Ye Xuan looked at the two with a smiling, leisurely air, and said with great politeness, "Shall we speak directly, or have a fight first and then talk?"

The Black Sky Mysterious Goddess remained silent.

The Guming God Emperor, however, chuckled and said, "A fight is inevitable. It’s just that before we fight, I’d like to ask: where do you come from?"

Ye Xuan looked at the Guming God Emperor, his face wearing a kindly smile. "My name is Ye Xuan."

"Oh? So it’s you."

Upon hearing this, the Guming God Emperor revealed a look of realization.

As the master of the Guming Divine Dynasty, he is well-informed regarding the major powers across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, as well as the peerless prodigies of those powers.

He had once paid attention to Ye Xuan, though Ye Xuan’s ranking in his heart was not high.

But the news of Ye Xuan leaving the Emperor Road ahead of time shook the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and he began to take note of this youth.

He had even secretly regarded Ye Xuan as a perfect vessel, intending one day to bring Ye Xuan into this realm.

He had not expected Ye Xuan to show up on his doorstep of his own accord, and the fellow seemed to know quite a lot.

Yet at this moment.

The delicate body of the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess suddenly swayed, nearly collapsing.

Her aura shifted rapidly, as if she had suffered heavy injuries.

"Mysterious Goddess?"

The Guming God Emperor’s eyes narrowed. He was about to reach out to support the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess when she steadied herself and gestured that it was nothing serious.

Ye Xuan looked at the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess with narrowed, smiling eyes, and said with a grin, "Little lass, casually prying into other people’s privacy isn’t exactly the best of virtues."

Hearing Ye Xuan’s frivolous tone, the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess did not grow angry. Through her hazy veil, her pair of deathly pale eyes fixed on Ye Xuan as she said gravely, "May I ask, for what purpose have you come?"

She no longer sought to inquire about Ye Xuan’s origins.

She had just tried to strip away the layers of silk, attempting to peer into Ye Xuan’s entire life, only to discover she could see nothing.

Not only Ye Xuan, but everything around Ye Xuan, the entire life and Karma of those close to him—she could see none of it.

With such an origin, there is no need to ask to know it is utterly terrifying.
