Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1816: Chapter 1855: Yunhuang’s True Purpose

As soon as the Young Master Xue Cheng arrived, he noticed the two women, and heard about Jiang Fan’s kin.

His killing intent arose on the spot.

Failing to root out the weed only leads to limitless troubles!

The spear in his hand locked onto Gong Caiyi, while the Central Earth Venerables were too occupied dealing with the Five Crown Kings to intervene.

Fortunately, Red Sleeves noticed in time. Gazing from afar at Gong Caiyi’s slightly rounded belly, her pupils contracted, revealing a cold light as she said, "Courting death!"

Her figure flickered, pouncing forward.

Young Master Xue Cheng’s lips twisted into a cruel smile, not giving Red Sleeves a chance to intervene, he applied his arm strength to toss his spear.

Bang——

But suddenly!

A wisp of transcendent, formless power transmitted from the Abyss.

The entire Hell Realm shuddered.

The earth roiled like ocean waves, the space on all sides compressed, creating layers of spatial folds.

The warring armies on the ground and in the sky were all overturned.

The Divinity Transformation Realm and Asura Kings fared better, but the Nascent Soul and Enlightened Asura spat blood in unison.

Young Master Xue Cheng’s body shook violently, the ferocity on his face turned to shock and doubt: "What... what is happening?"

He had never encountered such a bizarre occurrence in the Heavenly Realm.

Red Sleeves staggered, her face full of astonishment. She recalled reading in an ancient manuscript that this was the sensation of a Boundary Master’s true form descending!

Could a Boundary Master have arrived?

Only the Other Shore Realm Master gazed toward the Abyss, his voice moderately grave:

"The tree leaf? You didn’t secure it?"

Red Sleeves opened her palm and said, "Reporting to the Boundary Master, it’s here."

Other Shore Realm Master questioned in disbelief, "If the tree leaf is here, then who caused this disturbance in the Abyss?"

"It seems, something has been released from beneath the Barrier!"

Hmm?

Red Sleeves furrowed her brow, gazing at the yellow tree leaf in her palm, pondering as she asked:

"How are you sure this tree leaf is the one from the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation?"

At that time, she was in the tent and did not witness where the leaf came from.

When she came out, she saw everyone vying for it.

The current anomaly made her suspect the leaf’s authenticity.

Young Master Xue Cheng said, "I saw with my own eyes Jiang Fan throwing it into the Abyss, how could it be fake?"

Throw?

Red Sleeves immediately sensed something was amiss, saying, "The leaf that determines the fate of the Central Earth, would he carelessly throw it down? And even get intercepted?"

"This doesn’t seem like his character!"

She fixed her gaze on the leaf, eyes narrowed, fingers gripping tightly.

Amidst the astonished cries of the crowd,

the tree leaf engraved with a Saint’s script, supposedly extremely hard, was easily crushed into a piece of silver-white sand by Red Sleeves.

"Ha."

"Hahaha~" Red Sleeves laughed, her fragrant shoulders quivering slightly in laughter: "As expected of you, Jiang Fan."

"You’ve played the entire Hell Realm!"

"From the Boundary Master projection to the Nine Prison Asura Emperor, down to my Asura Nine Divisions, over ten thousand troops, all spun around by your deception!"

The leaf that everyone was fiercely competing for was actually Jiang Fan’s Memory Silver Sand!

She couldn’t help but admire him.

Young Master Xue Cheng looked at the silver sand, his mind blank.

They fought life and death, burying a female Asura Empress and a Nine Prison Asura Emperor over it, only to be told it was a fake leaf?

The Other Shore Realm Master rubbed her temples, murmuring, "Who would fall for the same trap twice in this world."

Jiang Fan had fooled her World Artifact once with this sand, and today, fooled them again.

That damn bastard, even lying there, could make her fume!

"Tell me, Jiang Fan died a horrible death!" She fumed.

Young Master Xue Cheng dared not lie, replied, "Reporting to the Boundary Master, he didn’t die too horribly."

"When he died, that beautiful Asura Empress was embracing him."

"When I struck, it was a swift, fatal blow; he felt no pain."

Ah!

Other Shore Realm Master pounded her chest, her fingers trembling with rage: "Retrieve it, retrieve his body!"

"Then chop it all to pieces for me!"

That damn bastard, even in death, wouldn’t let her have a moment of peace!

At this moment, on the side, Red Sleeves had a flicker of excitement in her eyes below her lenses:

"He might not be dead!"

Because if Jiang Fan really died, then who triggered the disturbance?

Could it be the Asura Empress?

Jiang Fan might still be alive, still alive...

She stared intently at the Abyss, listening to the approaching rumbling, feeling her heart clenched as if something was gripping it, making it hard to breathe.

In that instant, she wished more than anyone for Jiang Fan to be alive.

Even if Jiang Fan sought vengeance on her, she was willing to see him alive.

Rumble——

The extraordinary power grew stronger, inciting even more intense changes throughout the entire Hell Realm.

The ancient Nine Domains, the eternal sky, all were shaking.

If viewed from afar in the Void, the circular Hell Realm resembled a water droplet on a hot iron plate, bouncing rapidly.

In the depths of the heavens, shadows surged.

Seven colossal figures of thousand-zhang in size loomed intermittently within the darkness, unmistakably the seven sleeping Hell Realm Masters were all awakened!

Witnessing this scene, both the Hell Realm and the Central Earth Realm, all living beings were stunned.

The Abyssal disturbance gathered all Hell Realm Masters together!

"Other Shore, what’s happening?"

An ancient voice, rippling with the essence of time, came from the heavens.

Other Shore Realm Master responded gravely: "The Central Earth successfully threw a tree leaf inscribed with Cloud Desolation’s script into the Abyss."

"Initially, we thought Cloud Desolation aimed to release the Boundary Master qualification."

"Now, it seems, it’s more than that!"

Simply releasing the Boundary Master qualification would not trigger such an extraordinary power.

The ancient Boundary Master was silent for a moment, then asked:

"What kind of tree leaf is it?"

Other Shore Realm Master said, "A withered yellow leaf, about the size of a palm, capable of holding a Saint’s inscription."

A moment later, a cloud in the heavens condensed into the shape of a leaf.

Exactly resembling the withered yellow leaf, even the intricate veining was completely identical.

"Could it be the kind you mentioned?"

The voice of the old Boundary Master noticeably lowered, a hint of worry discernible.

Other Shore Realm Master’s expression grew heavy as well:

"It’s indeed the same."

She sensed a faint unease.

Within the clouds, there were faint sounds of gasped breaths and some eyes were trembling.

The concern among the seven Boundary Masters was palpable.

Other Shore Realm Master asked, "Old Boundary Master, is there an issue with this leaf?"

The old Boundary Master, having lost his initial composure, spoke slightly faster:

"It’s a leaf from the World Tree!"

"Cloud Desolation actually preserved a leaf from this tree!"

Other Shore Realm Master’s pupils contracted.

A leaf from the World Tree?

This tree was uprooted tens of thousands of years ago, and it remains a legend from ancient times.

The era of its existence predates even the current Boundary Masters, and the literature recording it has long been lost or destroyed with the passage of time.

Only the oldest Boundary Master present knows some details.

Her unease deepened, she said:

"What does Cloud Desolation intend by putting the leaf in?"

The old Boundary Master’s voice trembled slightly:

"She wants... to recreate the World Tree!"
