Hell Emperor

Chapter 440 Xia Wei - Past

The wind stopped.

The sky was so low that it seemed to be within reach. The air was filled with a suffocating feeling as if a storm was about to come. Even breathing became difficult. The surroundings were unusually quiet. Everyone's heartbeat could be heard clearly, but no one spoke. All eyes were focused on the two people who trusted each other so much and shared life and death.

Xia Wei smiled, with a warm light in her eyes. Holding the roster of life and death that she had prepared early in the morning, she moved closer to Ye Jie.

Ye Jie had a carefree look on his face. No matter what was waiting for him ahead, he would bear it together with his family. Holding the remaining scroll of the List of Gods, he walked towards the book in Xia Wei's hand.

An invisible tacit understanding spread from the bottom of their hearts. They didn't need words. Just a look, a smile, or even a change in breathing frequency could make the other person understand what they meant.

As the two sacred documents collided with each other, there was a loud bang that shook the earth, and endless dazzling light spread out from the core of the collision. The vast immortal grace fell from the sky like a torrent, completely illuminating the dark world.

All over the world, living beings looked up in astonishment, as if tangible immortal energy was condensing and taking shape in their bodies, endowing them with divine powers that transcended the mundane world and were comparable to those of immortals.

The names of all living beings are inscribed in the List of Gods. Those insignificant and unknown creatures are like dazzling new stars, and even chickens and dogs are able to ascend to heaven!

The grace of immortals has come to bless all living beings. Heaven is no longer out of reach, and the Pure Land no longer needs to be searched far and wide. The flowers of hope are blooming everywhere, and the world has entered dawn.

And at the beginning of all this, Ye Jie and Xia Wei looked at each other, as if they wanted to engrave each other's appearance into their hearts.

"You really found a way to save the world..."

Ye Jie was filled with emotion. Once upon a time, when he was a ghost catcher, he had helped many ghosts fulfill their last wishes.

However, no one could help him fulfill the last wish in his heart.

His biggest regret and the thing that hurt him most was that there were still people in the world who starved to death like he did.

Why do people starve to death? This question is quite complicated. War, famine, plunder, slavery and oppression may all cause it, but generally speaking, it is because those people have no wealth. People with wealth can live well even in an era of famine.

The people most likely to starve to death in the world are the poor people who have no money left in their pockets. But has anyone ever seen an emperor starve to death out of nowhere?

In this case, Ye Jie's idea is very simple. Since those people have no wealth, Ye Jie will create wealth for them. Their life span is their innate wealth. As long as they are still alive, they can use their life span to exchange for food so that they will not starve to death.

It's a pity that Ye Jie failed in the end. Not only did the longevity trade fail to benefit all living beings, but it caused all kinds of disasters and aroused the most primitive and also the strongest fear of death in people's hearts. Ultimately, it caused devastation to the world and countless people suffered as a result.

Ye Jie originally thought that his wish would never be fulfilled in his lifetime, but things are taking a turn for the better now.

His lifelong regret, that almost impossible feat, was accomplished by Xia Wei. From now on, the order of the mortal world will be completely rewritten, the world has become a fairyland, and the pure land is right under your feet!

"Thank you, Xiaowei. You have fulfilled my lifelong wish and shown a clear path for all living beings. Accepting you as my disciple is the luckiest thing I have ever done. I have never regretted meeting you that day."

Ye Jie looked at Xia Wei with gentle eyes full of gratitude.

Xia Wei smiled, her eyes dotted with brilliant sunset glow: "Master, Xiao Wei alone can't do all this, we did it together!"

Before they could finish their words, dull thunder interrupted their conversation.

Above the sky, thunder roared, lightning flashed, and a vast and terrifying aura was gradually gathering above everyone's heads.

The thunder came from the sky above, carrying with it the majesty of ancient times. The sound waves were like the angry roar of the gods, or the furious declaration of heaven!

Feeling the murderous aura that wanted to destroy all living beings, Dhritarashtra stood up with a look of horror on his face:

"Do you know what you have done? You have completely disrupted the balance of the human world. This is a great disrespect to the heavens. Now that so many living beings have stolen the good fortune and ascended to become immortals, they will inevitably attract severe punishment from the heavens. All living beings will be completely destroyed because of your actions! You will kill everyone!"

Xia Wei heard the angry rebuke of King Chiguo and felt a little uneasy when she thought of the consequences of angering the Heaven.

The ascension of all living beings will completely rewrite the order of the human world, so how can it be tolerated by the laws of nature?

The heavenly tribulation that one person has to go through to become an immortal is extremely terrifying, far beyond the endurance of those with dull talents. Now, there are more than trillions of living beings in the entire continent. How terrifying would the heavenly tribulation caused by the ascension be?

What awaits everyone must be the extremely furious Heaven. No one can survive under that power. Even the Heavenly King Chitralaksha, his expression changed completely when he mentioned the world-destroying thunder calamity.

Just when Xia Wei was feeling uneasy, she felt a warmth in her palm.

Ye Jie held her hand, using his five fingers to tightly grasp it, and gave her a reassuring look:

"Don't be afraid, this time, we will be by your side!"

The master's encouragement immediately injected a moving force into Xia Wei's slightly uneasy heart. When she raised her eyes, there was no longer any hesitation or wavering in her eyes, only complete determination!

"Master... let us bear the thunder tribulation of all living beings together!"

After saying that, Xia Wei picked up the roster of the Book of Life and Death and tore it to pieces.

Even the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra was completely dumbfounded. Without the roster of the Book of Life and Death, could he be asked to cross out the names of all living beings on the List of the Gods one by one? How long would it take to cross out the names?

Xia Wei's move completely cut off her retreat. Even if the Heavenly King Chiguo snatched back the remaining scrolls of the List of the Gods, it would be of no avail.

“You…you…”

The terrifying power of the calamity cloud made all living beings silent. Everyone looked desperate as if death was imminent. Even the heavenly soldiers who came to support Dhritarashtra had never seen such a scene and could not even hold the weapons in their hands steadily.

Anyone who dares to stand in the way of the world-destroying thunderbolt will only end up dead, and destruction is inevitable.

As all living beings wailed, a ray of purple cloud cut through the sky, like a sword wielded by a god. It pierced into the calamity cloud with devastating force, poked a big hole in the condensed thunder and dispersed the terrifying power contained in the thunder.

After breaking through the calamity clouds, the demonic light continued to move forward, rising straight up to the ninth heaven, completely illuminating the dark sky. The only thing that filled the sky was the dazzling purple.

Xia Wei raised her head with a haughty look. The Purple Demon Eyes at the Hongmeng level, coupled with the infinite purple energy coming from the east, finally showed her true power to the world. The aura in her body surged, and she even had the tendency to compete with the world-destroying thunder tribulation.

"this……"

The face of the Heavenly King Chiguo trembled. He had long seen that Xia Wei was incredibly powerful, but he had never imagined that her strength would reach such a level. Facing the thunder tribulation that could destroy all living beings, she did not give in at all and was determined to let the immortal way come to the world!

Before the Heavenly King Chitra could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a peerless figure appear above the sea of ​​thunder. She was clad in a colorful robe, with a mysterious aura gathered around her. Her eyes were heartless, with a hint of death in their depths. Looking directly at her was like looking directly at the Heaven itself. The extremely violent world-destroying thunder appeared as docile as a lamb in front of her.

Looking at the beautiful figure that towered over everyone, Inai had not yet figured out the situation. She glanced at the figure in the sea of ​​thunder, then at Xia Wei, and felt that their faces were 80% similar, as if they were carved from the same mold. The difference was that one was hot, one was cold, one was furious, and one was ruthless.

"She is... Xia Wei? How could Xia Wei be in the thunder tribulation?"

"No... She is not Xia Wei, but the incarnation of Xuannv condensed by the thunder tribulation. This is bad..."

Shen Qingge also saw that pretty figure with a serious face. As the descendant of Xuannv, she deeply understood how terrifying Xuannv was. Even if it was just an incarnation, no one could match her.

Li Fei'e took a deep breath, with a hint of fear in his eyes:

"The Lady Xuannv is in charge of the way of thunder punishment. Only she can bring the power of Xuansha to its fullest extent... I didn't expect that the one who finally blocked the ascension of all living beings was actually the incarnation of the Lady Xuannv. As the descendants of the Lady Xuannv, how can we be disrespectful to the incarnation of the Lady Xuannv..."

Ren Changhong's face was full of solemnity. "Don't worry, just do it. With the might of the world-destroying thunder tribulation, it will not stop until all living beings are destroyed. We are doing this to save the people. Even if the founder of the sect knows about this, he will not punish us for this."

Before she finished her words, the incarnation of Xuannv moved first. She raised her hand and pointed, with her slender fingertips pointing directly at Xia Wei.

With a flash of light, the purest and most intense black light split the sky in two, and rushed straight towards Xia Wei with supreme divine power that surpassed all living beings!

Xia Wei's pupils shrank, and the demonic light swept across, colliding head-on with Xuan Sha. In an instant, there was a roar like a tsunami, and the air waves surged, and the entire Fangzhang Immortal Island was violently shaken.

The invincible magic light encountered a setback for the first time and was broken in the middle. Even if it absorbed all the purple air from the east in the world, it could not put up the slightest resistance against the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sha condensed by Xuannv. The purest and most fierce Mysterious Sha was enough to destroy everything in the world.

After breaking through the magic light, Xuansha's power did not decrease, and he fell towards Xia Wei head-on. With the power to destroy the world, he vowed to kill all those who went against the will of heaven on the spot!

"No……"

Seeing this, Li Fei'e's eyes trembled and he didn't dare to see what happened next.

She wanted to help Xia Wei, but she was powerless. The thunder-based skills she was best at were like wielding a sword in front of Guan Gong in front of the world-destroying thunder calamity and the incarnation of Xuannv. Even her most proficient Nine Heavens Divine Thunder were the skills passed down by Xuannv.

At the critical moment, a divine dragon was seen soaring in the sky, fearlessly heading towards the Jiutian Xuansha.

This dragon was none other than Ye Jie who had transformed into a divine dragon. There were flashes of lightning on the dark blue dragon scales, and between the dragon horns, there was a huge ball of thunder that absorbed the surrounding electric arcs.

The dragon that Ye Jie transformed into was the Thunder Dragon. The unique power of the Thunder Dragon gave him a stronger resistance to thunder.

However, no matter how strong his resistance was, how could it be stronger than the Nine Heavens Mysterious Blade that destroyed everything? As the Mysterious Blade approached, the dragon scales on Ye Jie's body peeled off piece by piece, and the powerful explosion completely engulfed him. There was not a single piece of good skin on his entire dragon body, and his life force was about to be completely cut off.

“Master…”

Xia Wei's pupils trembled. The power of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Demon was a terrifying force that stood at the top of all the immortals. Even the Equality Array that suppressed the continent could not suppress that power.

At the critical moment, another figure soared up and blocked the Xuansha. His body, which was hundreds of feet tall, was like a solid wall. No matter how terrifying the power of the Xuansha was, he would never waver and blocked the destructive force contained in it, thus preventing the aftermath of the Xuansha from completely destroying everyone on the island.

"It's you..."

Xia Wei was stunned. The person blocking Xuan Sha's way was none other than the Heavenly King Dhritarashtra. She couldn't help but feel confused:

"Didn't you want to kill us just now? Why are you helping us?"

Being bombarded by Xuansha, Dhritarashtra was not feeling well either. The might from the Ninth Heaven almost completely destroyed his armor. He was in a state of embarrassment for a while. Upon hearing this, he glared at Xia Wei with anger in his eyes, but still said:

"I am the guardian of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and I cannot watch this continent being destroyed by you! I was wondering why your strength is so amazing. It turns out that you are the reincarnation of Xuannv. Since you have summoned the world-destroying thunder tribulation, you'd better have a way to deal with it, otherwise..."

Dhritarashtra did not continue speaking. The wrath of Heaven was something that ordinary people could not bear. Even immortals had to act according to the will of Heaven. Once the world-destroying thunder calamity condensed, it would not stop until all living beings on the entire continent were destroyed.

Even though Chiguo Tianwang was filled with resentment towards Xia Wei and her group for trying to steal the remaining fragments of the List of the Gods, he had no choice but to stand up and fight back when the thunder calamity was approaching. He couldn't just watch the continent being destroyed.

"Damn it! If my Pipa was still there, I might be able to resist a bit..."

Dhritarashtra showed a look of regret. His pipa had been broken into two pieces in the previous battle. Even if the pipa body could be repaired, the broken pipa strings could not be replaced.
