At the same time, he unleashed the power of the Heavenly Eye, the Law of Heaven and Earth, and the power to unseal the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword. This can be said to be the first time that Yang Cheng has squeezed his own power to the extreme.
This is because Yang Cheng has entered the Three Pure Realms; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to play like this.
Even though Yang Cheng had reached the Three Pure Realms, using such great supernatural powers in succession had exhausted all the power in his body, and he had even overexerted himself, touching his own source power.
The inheritance of the Queen Mother of the West was right before his eyes, but Yang Cheng did not immediately take it. Instead, a golden light flashed around him, and the power of the Dragon Essence instantly filled his body, restoring his strength to its peak.
In that instant, Yang Cheng suddenly turned his head, and a slender, sharp longsword, gleaming with frost, tore through the void with extreme malice, heading straight for Yang Cheng's back!
The three-pointed double-edged sword suddenly appeared in front of him, but the extremely insidious frost power was transmitted to Yang Cheng the moment it touched the sword, instantly freezing his blood and qi!
Yang Cheng's body shimmered with the light of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and his vital energy suddenly burst forth. He quickly retreated, shaking off the frost and exhaling a breath of cold air.
Behind Yang Cheng, Uncle Zhuang, holding a long sword as black as ink and covered in frost, looked at Yang Cheng with slight surprise.
"You were prepared all along? When did you see through the deception?"
At this moment, Uncle Zhuang was no longer as cautious as before. His slightly hunched figure was now straight, and he had an impressive demeanor. He was like a completely different person compared to the old craftsman he had been before.
Gao Benrong had already subdued King Mu of Zhou, Ji Man, and was looking at Yang Cheng and Uncle Zhuang with a bewildered expression.
Gao Benrong hadn't fully digested the truth about the Western Expedition, the changes in King Mu of Zhou, and the terrifying Queen Mother of the West. Now, Zhuang Shu had turned into this state again and even ambushed Yang Cheng. He was completely dumbfounded.
Gao Benrong even wondered if he was still in the underground river and had his memories altered by the monster.
Yang Cheng stared at 'Uncle Zhuang' and said in a deep voice, "It's not that I was prepared, but that I don't trust anyone."
In this environment, how could I possibly expose my weakness?
However, I do sense that something is off about you. You claim to be a disciple of the Puppet Master, but you seem to know far too much.
You know the road to West Kunlun, you know the ancient mythical beasts, and you even know the true form of the Queen Mother of the West.
You're blaming all of this on your teacher, the Puppet Master, but is the Puppet Master really that powerful?
He may be very skilled in crafting puppets, but he knows too much about them.
Of course, these are just my suspicions. I even suspected Gao Benrong, after all, he was Ji Man's true confidant, and I wondered if he was plotting something in secret.
But with the appearance of the Queen Mother of the West, these doubts have become meaningless.
So I really didn't expect that it would be you who jumped out in the end.
You are not from this world. Who are you, really?
Uncle Zhuang shook his head slightly and said, "No wonder you were able to obtain the inheritance of Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun. No wonder you even indirectly caused Gonggong's death. This kind of caution is not something that ordinary reincarnators can have."
As soon as 'Uncle Zhuang' finished speaking, he reached out and wiped his face, and the old face instantly transformed into a handsome and cold-looking young man in his thirties with black lines etched on his forehead.
"My name is Mu Jiu. You should have heard of me."
Yang Cheng's expression suddenly changed.
One of the four gods of the Divine Court, the ruler of the Nine Netherworld, Xuanming Mu Jiu!
Even among realm lords, there are varying degrees of strength. The Nine Netherworld can be considered one of the strongest realms in the entire Divine Court, and Mu Jiu is a peak Yin-Yang Realm expert, renowned among all realm lords throughout the myriad reincarnations.
Some even say that Mu Jiu could refuse even the orders of the Eastern Emperor.
Even someone with Gonggong's arrogant and volatile personality would follow Mu Jiu's lead.
Because of the realm lord's restrictions, the other party cannot leave the small world they are in.
Furthermore, this world cannot contain the true form of the Realm Lord.
Therefore, the Mu Jiu in front of us is just an incarnation of a secret technique.
However, Yang Cheng really didn't expect that Mu Jiu would actually use his avatar to descend to the mortal realm to deal with him.
It should be understood that even an avatar is an extremely precious existence for a realm lord; once it is used, it is one less available.
For a moment, Yang Cheng didn't know whether to say that he had too much face or that he had attracted too much hatred.
"So you're here to kill me because of Gonggong and Shebishi?"
Mu Jiu nodded, then shook his head: "To be honest, you deserve to die."
Leaving aside Shebi Shi and the others, Gonggong has followed me for many years. If the last mission had been handled properly, I could have even helped Gonggong advance to the Yin-Yang Realm.
But it was because of you, and that crazy woman, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, that everything fell apart.
However, if I came here specifically to kill you to vent my anger, then it would be a bit too much of a waste for me to use an avatar.
I also want the legacy of the Queen Mother of the West.
As you should know, there are many traditions in the cycle of reincarnation that can actually be shared by multiple parties.
The lineage of Ksitigarbha can originate from the underworld or from Mount Ling.
The lineage of the Four Heavenly Kings can originate from the Heavenly Palace or from Mount Ling.
If the lineage of the Queen Mother of the West can belong to the Heavenly Palace, then it can naturally also belong to my Divine Court.
A high-level inheritance, plus your life, Yang Cheng, is worth my effort.
Yang Cheng, stop resisting.
The power of the Yin-Yang Realm is beyond your imagination, even though I am only here in avatar now.
"I want the legacy of the Queen Mother of the West, and I also want the legacy of the Pure Source Daoist Master you possess."
Yang Cheng revealed a mocking smile: "Some things you can't just get because you want them."
