"You will pay the price for your actions!" Fu Lingtian roared.
The black flames expanded wildly, covering the sky and making it dark in an instant.
Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted at everyone, "Run!!!"
Fu Lingtian sneered: "You can try it."
Xi Yunting did not insist this time and turned around and flew towards Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao waited anxiously for him to fly over. He faced Fu Lingtian and saw that as Fu Lingtian's voice fell, obvious wrinkles and distortions appeared in the air.
The wrinkles and distortions grew larger and larger, spreading out, causing the clouds to break into pieces.
No! Chen Xiao opened his eyes wide in horror. What was shattered was not the cloud, but the Shenzhou Atlas!
Every breath and every move of Fu Lingtian brought a huge shock to the Shenzhou Atlas. He just turned around, and the potential energy he brought tore the space around him apart!
Volcanic eruptions are nothing compared to such a catastrophe. The destruction of mountains and rivers that failed to occur in Taizhen happened here!
"Go!" Xi Yunting flew past Chen Xiao, stretched out his hand, and took the frightened Chen Xiao away.
Chen Xiao's scalp tingled and all the hair on his body stood up. He looked back involuntarily and saw the wrinkles chasing them.
Fu Lingtian was like a black hole. The space around him was collapsing with him as the center. The dark void was revealed in the cracks of the shattered space.
"Immortals...are they such terrifying beings?" Chen Xiao's voice tightened and he spoke incoherently.
No wonder such people are not tolerated in the underworld. They are too powerful, so powerful that they can tear this world apart at any time.
Xi Yunting held his hand tightly, without any fear, only anger. He hated Fu Lingtian, why did he show up?
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoxiao. I'm with you." He said to him.
Chen Xiao felt more at ease and was no longer so frightened. He held his hand tightly back: "Yeah." At least, when the final moment came, they were together.
Just when Chen Xiao was about to face death calmly, something strange happened.
In the space in front of Chen Xiao, a big hole suddenly appeared in the sky.
He was shocked and thought that this was also caused by Fu Lingtian.
The hole grew bigger and bigger, and a beam of light shot out from the hole, illuminating the front of Chen Xiao.
A blurry figure gradually appeared. The backlight made it difficult to see his appearance. Only the hair crown on his head looked very familiar.
"Senior Chongshan!" Chen Xiao blurted out.
Xi Yunting stopped suddenly, and the two of them looked up at the mountains that were surrounded by fairy air and emitting auspicious light.
"It's really the immortal from Chongshan!" Xi Yunting said in surprise.
Chongshan seemed to feel the gazes of the two people. He lowered his head and glanced at them.
He nodded slightly, then, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, he raised his hand and shone a ray of light.
The light spread out, forming an enormous plane, separating everyone, Chongshan and the space where Fu Lingtian was.
The space that had been collapsing and shattering stopped immediately, "Chongshan! Why are you everywhere!" Fu Lingtian said angrily.
Chongshan said coldly: "Fu Lingtian! You came to the mortal world without permission, violated the law, and brought disaster to the world. Why don't you surrender!"
"Dream on!" Fu Lingtian shouted, "You ruined my plans up there and caused me to be trapped for three hundred years. Now is the time for me to take revenge!"
Then, he pushed his palm, and countless black flames came towards Chongshan like an overwhelming force.
"Your magic weapons are too powerful to be used. Without them to protect you, I wonder how you will die this time!" Fu Lingtian laughed.
Chongshan didn't even frown, the auspicious light on his body suddenly brightened, and the black flames hit the barrier formed by the light, causing only small ripples.
Fu Lingtian's laughter got stuck in his throat. He said in disbelief, "This is impossible! You! You are actually in the lower world in your true form?! Why is this happening? I can only split one tenth of my power into the lower world, which is already my limit. How can you be in the lower world in your true form? This, this is not fair!!"
Fu Lingtian was angry and confused.
The laws of the heavenly world are extremely strict. After becoming immortals, cultivators cannot return to the lower world.
Even if they managed to sneak back, they would be severely weakened. Even so, the law would not allow the existence of forces beyond the lower world. In order to restore the balance of the lower world, the violators would be punished by heaven and destroyed.
This is why Fu Lingtian has been suppressing his strength and trying not to use too much power.
After he became enraged, he used up all his strength in the lower world. He knew that this part of his spiritual consciousness would most likely be destroyed by divine punishment.
But he never expected that Chongshan would show up!
Chongshan sneered and said: "Don't you understand? I am here just following the rules and doing justice for the heavens!" That's why he was able to pass through the barrier between the two sessions without any damage.
Fu Lingtian widened his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Heaven's punishment, can it be a human? Okay, okay, I was just one step behind. Don't think that I will admit defeat just like this!"
Fu Lingtian frantically urged all his strength, and a black shadow broke away from Fu Wumo's body and rushed towards Chongshan, "Let's die together!"
This desperate move also caused Chongshan a lot of trouble.
Although his actions of enforcing justice on behalf of heaven were tacitly approved by the law and he came down in his true form, Fu Lingtian was right about one thing: he could not use magic tools and could only rely on himself.
Chongshan shouted loudly, and his purple palace suddenly swelled, rushing out of the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul punched the black shadow, and "bang" the black shadow turned into powder and disappeared.
The Nascent Soul was impacted by the explosion, causing Chongshan's face to turn pale for a moment.
He let out a breath slowly, and shook his wide sleeves. The golden light from the sky shone on the broken hole, and gradually the destroyed part was slowly repaired.
If a large part of the affected ground had not disappeared out of thin air, I would have thought it was a dream.
Chongshan looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. He put away the light barrier and came in front of Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Chen Xiao, then at Xi Yunting, and said, "I know you have questions, and I still have some time to answer them for you."
Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting looked at each other, unable to tell whether they were excited or terrified.
Xi Yunting took a deep breath and asked as calmly as possible: "Immortal, who is my mother? Why was I born?"
Chongshan was somewhat surprised by his sharpness. He nodded in approval and said, "You got the point. Your mother is the Queen of Dongli in the upper realm, named Xi Yun."
"Dongli...Empress?" Xi Yunting said in astonishment.
Chongshan nodded and said, "That's right. There are three realms in the upper realm. The Empress Dongli is the leader of the nine saints in the Canglan Realm, so she is called the Empress."
Seeing that Xi Yunting was speechless due to the news, Chongshan took the initiative to explain to him: "Fu Lingtian is the leader of another domain, known as the Emperor of the Extreme Domain. He has always coveted the dead land deep in the abyss, but the abyss is close to Canglan. Your mother is afraid that he will gain power from it and disrupt the balance of the upper world, so she never allows him to get close to Canglan. The two have been hostile for thousands of years and have fought countless times because of this."
For some reason, Xi Yunting felt relieved. "So they are enemies."
Chongshan said, "Yes. Your mother has been on guard against Fu Lingtian for thousands of years, but in the end, she was careless and let Fu Lingtian cross Canglan and enter the abyss. Your mother followed and also entered the abyss. Although Fu Lingtian has always longed for that place known as the worst, he seriously underestimated the horror of it. The two were trapped in it, corroded by the power of death day and night. In order to escape, they had no choice but to survive and seek a glimmer of life. But that place was full of death and disaster, and they tried various methods but could not find that glimmer of life."
Xi Yunting had a vague premonition, and Chen Xiao held his hand tightly.
Chongshan looked into Xi Yunting's eyes and said, "Later, they came up with a solution, which was to create a life. Fu Lingtian contributed a little essence, which was nurtured by your mother's body, and finally the purest life in the world was born in the dead land. And that little life is you!"
Xi Yunting's mind went blank and he was in a trance for a long time. It was Chen Xiao's strength on his hand that brought him back to his senses.
Seeing his eyes regained their spirit, Chongshan continued, "With this little bit of life force, the two finally escaped from the abyss. Although it was a temporary expedient, Dongli was very fond of your existence and gave birth to you. Because they were eroded in the abyss, Dongli and Fu Lingtian had been recovering from their injuries and lived in peace for a while. But the good times didn't last long. When you grew up a little, your innate power of disaster became more and more influential. The surrounding area began to produce a deadly aura for dozens of kilometers, and even you yourself were harmed. Your mother went through a lot of trouble to suppress your ability."
"After Fu Lingtian found out, he thought you were born to inherit his legacy and wanted to snatch you away. He didn't know that your mother asked me to help find a solution, one to keep Fu Lingtian away from you once and for all, and the other to help you get out of trouble and grow up smoothly. I have received a lot of kindness from your mother before, so I will naturally do my best to help. I set up a cage trap for Fu Lingtian, and your mother was both injured in the battle with him. Fu Lingtian was imprisoned by me, but your mother fell into a coma due to her serious injuries and has not woken up yet."
After digesting it quietly for a while, Chen Xiao asked, "What happened next? How did Yun Ting come to the underworld?"
Chongshan smiled bitterly and said, "Before that battle, your mother had a bad feeling, and she entrusted you to me. But my strength was not enough, and I could not suppress the development of the power of disaster, and your life was in danger. Then, after some research, I set up a plan that would prevent you from being harmed by the disaster, but I needed you to stay away from the upper realm, so I sent you down."
The reason why Xi Yunting went to the lower world finally had an answer, but with it came more questions.
Chongshan looked back at the passage in the sky and said to the two people, "I can't say any more. If you have any questions, I will answer them after you ascend to heaven." His body rose high and flew towards the passage, and a word floated down from afar: "I'll wait for you over there!"
