Chapter 1743 “Unforeseen Event (2)”

After the falling of those two True Celestials, there’s only Heavenly Flame who could be recognized as the strongest since he’s half a step into that level as well. Everyone truly did believe the man would become the new ruler of all races, yet who could’ve guessed he would do the most unexpected and seal the domains away at the expense of his own body….
“So what if he comes back? The guy is only halfway into the True Celestial stage, so long as he didn’t fully step into that world then there’s nothing to fear from him.”
As long as the guy doesn’t actually become like those two then there’s nothing to worry, but….
The man squints his eyes into a narrow slit to that of a snake’s, while those lips ticked into a devious smirk: “I have a mean to break the seal, I just don’t know if the other monarchs are willing to cooperate with me. Go send a letter for me, let them know…. Let them know the key to breaking the seal is an item held within the Demon Realm.”
“Your Monarchness, what if they begin asking questions about the item, how should I reply?”
“Tell them that the item is a red bead, and that as long as they bring it to me then I will have the power to free them.” That said, a sinister light flicker in the man’s gaze.
Since I can no longer do it alone then using those people to my advantage will do. With so many people working at this, what can’t be achieved?
“As you wish,” the old man complies by cusping his hand.
“Oh yes, there’s another thing I want you to do. During this period, go help Yun Ruo Xi with her breakthroughs. Although her body’s been greatly damaged, its of no matter to me. Go bring out one of my spirit plants in my treasury vault and give it to her. Her powers will grow by leaps and bounds afterwards.”
Of course, there’s always a price for such rapid improvements and that would be the old witch’s life force and youth. Then again, what does that woman’s life matter to this monarch? All he cares about was her being strong enough to be sacrificed at the altar.
Ironically, the woman herself had no clue to this dark scheme that’s befallen her own head. She’s been immersed in her own joy of making repeated breakthroughs in recent days.
……
Inside the luxurious mansion, Yun Ruo Xi had just finished her daily meditation and exhaled a long breath to remove the impurities inside her body.
“I broke through again, I finally reached the Demi Divine Lord level!”
How many years? How many years has it been since I made a breakthrough?
The old witch’s talent had always been poor. In light of the massive resources the Celestial Palace poured into her useless self, the woman never did make any progress aside from the power she gained prior to Bai Yan first death. And now she’s done it! She’s reached the Demi Divine Lord stage in mere weeks!
“Bai Yan,” suddenly, she started to cackle like a true villain as hate seethed out of that voice, “when you injured me during that war and caused my cultivation to stagnate, you never thought this day would come did you? It only took half a month, that’s all it took for me to reach this power, haha! So what if you are gifted? My life will always be on top of yours!”
When one’s sanity reaches their upper limit, this would be how one behaves. Merely speaking out and muttering to themselves would cause them to burst out laughing like a crazy villain.
“Hmm?” It’s then during her tyrannical rant to no one, the old witch abruptly stopped and stared into the copper mirror across from herself. Gently stroking the corner of her eye: “Strange, when did I grow a wrinkle here?”
