Hell Emperor.

Chapter 612 Ye Jie - The Great Dao
"What……"

After hearing Ye Jie's words, both the surviving wolf demons and the important officials in the city were dumbfounded.

Why is it that one madman just came and now another one is coming?
What on earth is going on? Why are they all scheming about the Book of Life and Death instead of thinking about how to serve the emperor?

Even the King of Hell was momentarily stunned, but then flew into a rage:
"Absurd! It seems that madman just now gave you too many unrealistic fantasies, making you really think that anyone can covet that strange book! Very well, then I will kill you with swift and decisive action, so that others will know the consequences of disobedience!"

As Yan Di gathered his power and unleashed his overwhelming demonic might, everyone around him turned their heads in disbelief. It was no joke; Yan Di might not be a match for that madman from before, but dealing with Ye Jie would be a piece of cake.

For a moment, the way everyone looked at Ye Jie was filled with pity. The Yama Emperor was furious, and anyone who dared to step forward at this time would surely be doomed.

Ye Jie remained calm. In the past, if he had dared to provoke the King of Hell, he would have likely met a dead end. But now, the situation was different.

In that battle just now, the Yama Emperor suffered a crushing defeat against the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Not only was he seriously injured, but his cultivation level also plummeted, and he was no longer at a level that Ye Jie could not reach.

More importantly, Ye Jie held in his hand that supreme book containing the archives of all living beings, a book powerful enough to distort reality.

All along the way, Ye Jie had been exploring the use of the main tent sewn pages. His understanding of the Book of Life and Death was definitely superior to everyone else here. Even the current Yama Emperor had only recently obtained the Book of Life and Death from the Ksitigarbha Hall. In other words, the Yama Emperor might not even know the true use of the Book of Life and Death!
Apart from Ye Jie, no one in this era knew how to use the so-called first-grade divine artifact, the Book of Life and Death!

"So……"

Ye Jie smiled faintly. He had finally obtained the divine artifact he had been dreaming of, and it was in its most complete form. Next, he would let the people of this era experience the true power of a first-grade divine artifact!

The file for "Ye Jie" is missing and cannot be modified.

"what?"

The records that appeared in the Book of Life and Death stunned Ye Jie. What did it mean that the file was missing and could not be modified?

Upon further reflection, Ye Jie quickly understood the reason behind it.

Unlike the Monkey King, Ye Jie was not born and raised in this era. Instead, he came from across time and space. Therefore, there would be no record of him in the Book of Life and Death of this era.

Just like the Monkey King who crossed out all his records and tore up his file, his information was no longer on the Book of Life and Death. But the difference is that the Monkey King actively chose to erase his file and become a person who transcends the world, while Ye Jie did it passively.

"My file...my file..."

Soon, Ye Jie had an idea. In his arms, there was the future Qinglian Palace master's tent, which contained Ye Jie's own file.

Among the artifacts of the document type, there are often commonalities, and they can even generate a very unique resonance. Not to mention the main tent of the Azure Lotus Palace, which itself originated from the Book of Life and Death, only it was a bit older.

Upon realizing this, Ye Jie immediately took out the main tent of the Azure Lotus Palace. As the main tent collided with the Book of Life and Death, the light and time in the world suddenly paused, and time and space seemed to stand still for a short time. The past and the future intersected and then burst out with a strong shockwave. Even the Yama Emperor in the distance could not stop it for a moment and was pushed away a hundred steps away.

"What? He just got his hands on that strange book, how could he cause such a commotion? Could he be a remnant of the Ksitigarbha Hall?"

The King of Hell was shocked. No matter what he tried, he could not find out the secrets of the Book of Life and Death. But when Ye Jie held the book, it seemed to come alive and showed earth-shattering power. This contrast made him grit his teeth in hatred.

At the heart of the endless storm, Ye Jie's lips curled into a smile. He had confirmed the information he cared about most from the Book of Life and Death, and then let out a loud laugh:
"This day has finally come. From now on, I can stand at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, and no one will be my match! The so-called Emperor of the Underworld is nothing more than this, isn't he?"

On the Book of Life and Death, neat characters slowly emerged:

[Book of Life and Death Records:]

[In the summer of the 140th year of the Moro calendar, Ye Jie revised the cultivation technique records.]

The Soul-Shattering Arrow (Supreme Saint) has been changed to the Soul-Shattering Arrow (Great Dao).

The Soul-Binding Rope (Supreme Saint) has been changed to the Soul-Binding Rope (Great Dao).

[The phrase "clouds obscuring the eyes (Supreme Sage)" has been changed to "clouds obscuring the eyes (Great Dao)".]

【………】

[The Divine Dragon Transformation (Supreme Saint) has been changed to Divine Dragon Transformation (Great Dao).]

The Bodhi Mind Method (Supreme Saint) has been revised to the Bodhi Mind Method (Great Way).

As the words appeared, an unparalleled aura condensed within Ye Jie's body. That aura surpassed that of saints, surpassed that of the Yama Emperor, surpassed everything. Any immortal standing before Ye Jie would feel a profound sense of inferiority. His realm, his Dao, had completely entered a level incomprehensible to all living beings, thus transcending the Three Realms. Even the rules of the world would give way to his Great Dao.

According to the levels of cultivation techniques, only above the Supreme Saint is the Other Shore, and only above the Other Shore is the Great Dao!

Legend has it that before the chaos was divided, there was no Dao in this world. Instead, immortal beings inscribed their own Dao into the world, which is how the Dao of Immortality came to be, which later generations of cultivators have been constantly seeking. These immortal beings are also revered as the Nine Revolutions Supremes.

Now, all the cultivation techniques Ye Jie has practiced have reached the level of the Nine Revolutions Supreme. Each technique is a great Dao that can shake the heavens and the earth. The power of so many great Daos gathered in one person at the same time is enough to shake the entire world!

"Is this the world as seen through the eyes of the Nine Revolutions Supreme? It certainly looks different..."

Ye Jie slowly clenched his fist, and abundant power gathered within his immortal body. Every breath he took, rising and falling from his chest, was like a mysterious chant from the heavens. Light could not shine on his body, and he stood there, yet it seemed as if he were not there.

Previously, Ye Jie always needed to consume Yin Virtue when modifying files, but this time, such words did not appear.

In this era, there is no such thing as accumulating merit. Modifying records using the complete Book of Life and Death does not require any merit at all. Whoever can hold the complete Book of Life and Death has the power to modify the records of all living beings!
Now, with the power of the Nine Revolutions Supreme added to his body, the surrounding space in Ye Jie's eyes is like a thin curtain. With just a little force, he can tear the space apart. Even the Yama Emperor in the distance is like a child who has just learned to walk, no longer taken seriously by Ye Jie.

"What have you done... Impossible! How could you possibly know how to use that extraordinary book? Even His Highness doesn't know how to use it, so how did you know? You must be using an illusion to deceive me!" The Yama Emperor's eyes darkened. He didn't believe Ye Jie could have done all this. He was certain that the aura of the Great Dao Ye Jie displayed was merely a smokescreen to scare him away. His immortal essence brewed, and the aura of a Saint Realm soared straight to the heavens.
"Marsh Initiates the Calamity - The Four Phases of Creation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yama Emperor's Holy Image condensed, and his body was engulfed in raging flames. His skin also turned into a sea-blue color, and he unfolded his supreme Dharma body that reached the heavens and the earth!
What is most striking is his head, which has four faces corresponding to the front, back, left, and right sides. Each face has a different expression, symbolizing joy, anger, sorrow, and fear. He has four hands, and each arm is covered with holy seals, resembling flowing clouds, water droplets, raging fire, and towering mountains. One hand holds a sword, the other a pestle, one holds a scripture, and the other holds a begging bowl. The moment he appears, the heavens and earth tremble, and even the heavens descend a seven-colored rainbow upon that holy body.

Unlike the incomparably powerful Yama Emperor, Ye Jie was unconcerned and simply said:

"If you had used this move earlier, you might have been able to hold out longer against the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Unfortunately, it's too late now!"

Ye Jie pointed his finger, and a black arrow condensed from his fingertip. The black arrow was not large, and could even be described as unremarkable, but Yan Di sensed a deadly threat from it!

The black arrow shot out in response. The Yama Emperor stood there, stunned, not yet realizing what had happened. But then he saw that the Holy Image Dharma Body, which had been a thousand feet in size just moments before, was now shattered with a crash!

As the saying goes, the greatest truths are the simplest. The small black arrow contained the divine power of the Great Dao that surpasses heaven and earth. How could he possibly withstand it?
Having lost his Holy Avatar, the Yama Emperor was filled with disbelief. From the attack he had just witnessed, he had sensed a power capable of destroying him. If Ye Jie hadn't been unwilling to kill him, he would probably have already been annihilated.

Ye Jie slowly withdrew his hand. Now that he had the Book of Life and Death in his hands, he had no intention of completely altering the past. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the King of Hell angrily say:

"Don't think you can leave so easily! Put down the Book of Life and Death!"

Ye Jie frowned: "Weren't your moves just now enough for you to realize the difference in skill? Are you really that eager to die?"

The King of Hell gritted his teeth in anger, filled with resentment: "Do you even know whose property the Book of Life and Death belongs to? You dare to steal the Book of Life and Death, and you will not have a good end! At that time, whether it is you or your companions, you will surely perish, and even the gods will not be able to save you!"

Sensing the threat in Yan Di's words, Ye Jie's eyes darkened slightly: "Are you threatening me?"

"If you do not lay down the Book of Life and Death, I will mobilize the entire nation to hunt you down to the ends of the earth, ensuring you never have a peaceful day!" the Yama Emperor roared.

Ye Jie was furious. It was one thing for Yan Di to threaten him, but if he dared to harm his companions, that would be something Ye Jie could not tolerate.

This is, after all, the territory of the Yama Emperor, not Ye Jie's original timeline. If the Yama Emperor is determined to ambush him, even if Ye Jie is not afraid, he cannot protect his companions at all times. It is almost impossible to defend against a Saint's sneak attack. If something goes wrong, Ye Jie will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Since you insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish!"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Jie's eyes. He no longer held back with his Great Dao-level technique. The pitch-black arrow pierced through the air, shredding the Yama Emperor's immortal body and soul into dust.

On the verge of extinction, Yama, with his last strength, whispered a curse-like message to Ye Jie: "Marsh will come for you..."

"I don't care who comes looking for me. If you dare to come looking for me, be prepared to lose your life!"

Ye Jie spoke coldly, ignoring the Yama Emperor who was now just a pile of ashes, and turned to walk back the way he came. No one around dared to block his way. Even the Yama Emperor, who ruled this country, had fallen at that man's hands. What could they do? They consciously made way for him.

"You...you actually killed the King of Hell! This is impossible...how did you do it?"

The wolf demon's legs trembled, and its gaze toward Ye Jie was no longer equal as before, but instead filled with shock and fear. Anyone standing before a supreme being who wields the Great Dao would feel a deep-seated fear.

No matter how hard the wolf demon racked his brains, he never imagined that the person he had been talking to along the way was actually a ruthless character who could even kill the Yama Emperor. He had even jokingly called that person "Gou Shi" before. If that person were to investigate, he probably wouldn't be able to save himself even if he had several lives.

Ye Jie smiled, not bothering to delve into the wolf demon's earlier words: "Well... we probably have to thank the Book of Life and Death. It contains everyone's files, including mine, and yours too."

"The Book of Life and Death..."

The wolf demon murmured that unique name, a hint of half-understanding in his eyes. Both the Yama Emperor and the man before him harbored a strange obsession with the Book of Life and Death. It seemed that the small book contained a power that could drive all living beings mad.

As he spoke, the wolf demon shook his head, a bitter smile on his face: "I was just worried that the Yama Emperor would hold us responsible for our failure to defeat the enemy. Now it seems that my worries were completely unnecessary. Brother Gou, you really fooled me."

Ye Jie's lips twitched. It was clearly this wolf demon who had taken it upon himself to worry about him, so how had it become his responsibility? However, the wolf demon's actions still earned Ye Jie some goodwill, so he spoke up:

"Speaking of which... I don't think I know your name yet."

The wolf demon patted his chest and said, "I was born from a pack of wolves and have cultivated all the way to this point. Originally, I had no name or surname. However, I looked up at the sky and was moved. I only wished to travel the world one day, so I called myself the Heavenly Wolf. I hope Brother Gou will laugh at me."

Sirius?

Ye Jie was stunned. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before. After thinking about it carefully, wasn't Tianlang the beast-form envoy who had fought with him for the main tent of the Witch God Temple in Dongsheng Divine Continent? Could it be the wolf demon in front of him?

"what happened?"

Feeling a little uneasy under Ye Jie's gaze, the wolf demon asked, puzzled.

The more Ye Jie looked at it, the more it resembled the poem, so he tentatively asked, "A sword comes from the west, turning a thousand mountains white; where wolf tracks pass, ten thousand valleys weep?"

"What are you talking about? You've been acting strangely from the very beginning," Sirius said, scratching his head.

"It's nothing, I probably made a mistake."

Ye Jie shook his head. This person didn't even know Tianlang's special skills; it seemed it was just a coincidence of sharing the same name. Perhaps Tianlang was a fairly common name among wolf demons.

After the two parted ways and Ye Jie had gone far away, Tianlang was still savoring Ye Jie's poem. He felt that the poem was extremely exquisite and secretly made up his mind that he would definitely use this poem as his ultimate move in the future.
