Chapter 915: Memory

Above the Sea of Malice, the storm gradually subsided, and the grey mist churned like solidified leaden clouds.

Mu Yun Hai stepped through the void, the patterns on his silver battle armor glowing with a scarlet luster.

He tilted his head, looking at Ruan Qingwu to the side, carrying a certain twisted pleasure.

"Qingwu, are you really not going to save my father?" Mu Yun Hai smiled.

"Zhu Ming cannot kill my father."

Ruan Qingwu stared at him coldly; her mask had shattered, revealing a cold and stunningly beautiful face, but those eyes were as deep as a cold pool.

Her fingertips moved slightly, petals appearing within her sleeves, yet they remained unreleased.

"I know you have the ability to save my father," Mu Yun Hai's voice was coaxing.

"Why don't you save him yourself?" Ruan Qingwu's voice was cold.

"You are the one who keeps calling him father."

A flash of murderous intent crossed the depths of Ruan Qingwu's eyes.

Mu Yun Hai was a sinister person who knew she had a hidden trump card to rescue Chen Yan.

But the moment she revealed her trump card, it would be the moment Mu Yun Hai struck at her.

Ruan Qingwu never expected these Dao Children to show her mercy just because she was the number one beauty of the Evil Realm.

Ruan Qingwu pressed her red lips together tightly.

Chen Yan was her greatest weapon, but going to save Chen Yan now would only cause her to fall into danger.

After thinking it over repeatedly, she cast a cold glance at Mu Yun Hai and prepared to leave.

"Sister Qingwu, you're leaving just like that? Won't you join forces with me?" Mu Yun Hai spoke hurriedly.

"Neither you nor I are a match for Wuhen Jun and Xuan Yi."

Ruan Qingwu frowned.

"I do not cooperate with perverts."

Cooperating with Mu Yun Hai was too dangerous; this person was temperamental and could betray her at any moment.

Chen Yan was an example; he could have directly obliterated Mu Yun Hai earlier.

Yet, who would have thought that even after all that, he was still backstabbed by Mu Yun Hai.

Chen Yan...

A chill rose in Ruan Qingwu's heart.

This time, searching for Chen Yan, she had truly suffered a double loss.

Not to mention that Suizui was dead.

Mu Yun Hai had obtained Mo's corpse and would try every possible means to acquire all of Mo's martial arts memories from before his death.

After all, in the hands of a supreme existence, the corpses of others could also speak.

In an instant, Ruan Qingwu had gained another difficult-to-defeat enemy.

With a flip of her hand, Ruan Qingwu's red flowers drifted, and she vanished above the void.

Leaving only Mu Yun Hai standing there.

The smile on Mu Yun Hai's face gradually dissipated, turning into calmness.

"I have been wondering why, when Chen Yan's strength increased, there was an extra person within the Nine Refinements of the Emperor Realm."

Mu Yun Hai murmured, his eyes narrowing.

"I am clearly the seventh person of extreme speed, but what everyone doesn't know is this:

I was actually the last person to enter the Nine Refinements of the Emperor Realm, and also the last place in every stage."

This was what Mu Yun Hai had been concerned about all along.

Since he was the last person to enter, he could be certain that everyone else had already entered the Nine Refinements of the Emperor Realm a step ahead of him.

Mu Yun Hai knew who the sixth place of each stage was, and he was clear about their process of clearing the stages.

But no one else knew what place Mu Yun Hai was.

A cold light appeared in Mu Yun Hai's eyes.

The other Dao Children could not be sure, but he, Mu Yun Hai, could be certain.

Chen Yan was the eighth person to enter the Nine Refinements of the Emperor Realm.

"This is troublesome," Mu Yun Hai shook his head.

"Why would a Heavenly God General from the outside world enter my Evil Realm to become a Dao Child?"

He had a headache.

After merging with Jinzong, Mu Yun Hai mastered Jinzong's memories.

He also knew some things about the outside world.

He likewise knew that the Yuanchu Hundun had descended upon the Evil Realm solely to hunt down Chen Yan.

A known powerful Xuan Yi, an unknown and powerful Wuhen Jun.

And now, there was an extra Chen Yan.

"Truly... Heaven is going to destroy me."

Mu Yun Hai murmured, and the next moment he shouted hurriedly:

"Father, are you alright? I will try every possible means to save you!"

The Sea of Malice churned, as if no changes had occurred at all.

Mu Yun Hai looked toward a distant place and spoke blandly:

"Chen Yan has three Masters of Martial Arts protecting him from behind; what do I have to compete with him?!"

Mu Yun Hai's voice was transmitted through the aura of life and death.

The Central Divine Earth.

Chen Fazhen opened his eyes:

"He is he, you are you; if you can kill him, that is fine."

Mu Yun Hai narrowed his eyes, then sneered aloud:

"Killing him is fine, but can I kill him?"

He said, stopping mid-sentence:

"He is my father, after all!"

Mu Yun Hai revealed a twisted smile, then extended one hand, and a white ball of light appeared.

As he threw the ball of light, it instantly transformed into ten thousand streams of light, pouring into the Sea of Malice.

Within the entire Sea of Malice.

From far to near.

Countless Ancient Divine Beasts heard the voice transmission of the Law Enforcer Lord of Ash Trace.

This was a vague murmur of an Ancient Divine Beast, a form of summoning.

Caw!

Endless shrieking sounds resounded within the Sea of Malice.

In a certain distant place.

A colossal existence rolled its body, stirring up monstrous waves, and headed toward where Mu Yun Hai was.

Yuanchu Hundun!

At this moment, all the Ancient Divine Beasts from the Evil Realm would grasp the location of Chen Yan.

And Chen Yan, as it happened, held a fatal attraction for them.

The aura of an Ancient Divine.

To the Ancient Divine Beasts, that was a gift from the divine.

It was a divine object that could allow them to step into a higher realm.

At the same time.

The various gathering places of the Law Enforcers.

White light flickered, transforming into the figure of the Law Enforcer Lord of Ash Trace.

His figure was towering, carrying powerful might, commanding the Law Enforcers of the world.

"Zheng Qian and Suizui have both fallen.

Now I, Ash Trace, command the Law Enforcers of the world; I order you all to come forth and follow me in suppressing this rebellion!"

As his command fell.

Within one gathering place of Law Enforcers after another, sheets of boat-leaves flew out.

Countless Law Enforcers shouted as they charged out.

At this moment, the Ancient Divine Beasts of the Evil Realm and the Law Enforcers of the world all listened to the command of Mu Yun Hai alone.

Mu Yun Hai's silver armor radiated light, like a Divine King descending upon the mortal world.

The next moment, he reached out with one hand.

Crack, crack, crack!

The power of rules condensed into an array disc, hooking into the causality of heaven and earth.

"Taking my assistance to the world's Ancient Divine Beasts as the cause, and the world's Ancient Divine Beasts serving me as their master as the effect!"

He pulled at the rules of causality, intending to write today's action into the Rules of Malice.

The theory of the Rules of Causality lies in exchange.

For living beings with lower strength than Mu Yun Hai, Mu Yun Hai can establish unequal rules of causality.

For existences with higher overall strength than Mu Yun Hai, if Mu Yun Hai wants to establish a causal exchange, he must establish equal rules of causality.

Chen Yan is a crisis, but also an opportunity.

Mu Yun Hai wants to use Chen Yan to make the Ancient Divine Beasts of the Evil Realm obey him.

In this way, he would have the most powerful assistance.

Of course, this kind of exchange does not involve the supreme Ancient Divine Beasts.

If it involved supreme Ancient Divine Beasts, Mu Yun Hai would be unable to establish rules of causality at all.

But all Ancient Divine Beasts, excluding the supreme ones, would establish rules of causality with Mu Yun Hai.

This was already enough.

"Since I will inevitably meet Chen Yan, why bother hiding?"

Mu Yun Hai spoke indifferently:

"Chen Yan's speed of advancement exceeds the imagination of the world; no matter when one wants to deal with Chen Yan, that time is the easiest time to kill Chen Yan."

He twisted his hand, but the array disc formed by the rules of causality sparked like a jammed mechanical part.

Mu Yun Hai frowned.

The rules of causality cannot be established?

Why?

The next moment.

His pupils shrank; it was the Rules of Malice blocking him.

The reason was that Mu Yun Hai had played a little trick.

What he said was to assist the Ancient Divine Beasts in killing Chen Yan, not to lead the Ancient Divine Beasts.

Aid.

A simple word, yet it has many interpretations.

You provide an address; that is aid.

You tell him what Chen Yan's weakness is; that is also aid.

Mu Yun Hai had planned to leave behind a clone and then slip away after summoning these Ancient Divine Beasts and the Lord of Penalties.

Unexpectedly, the Malice Rule actually blocked him.

Mu Yun Hai fell into deep thought.

Should he slip away now and not establish the rule?

But then he thought, Chen Yan is a mountain he must cross.

He reached out one hand:

"With my leading the Ancient Divine Beasts of the world to destroy Chen Yan as the cause, and the Ancient Divine Beasts of the world serving me as master as the effect!"

Crack, crack, crack!

The array disk condensed from the aura of life and death began to operate with a boom.

Strands of the power of rules were written into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Mu Yun Hai sat cross-legged, his expression flickering between light and shadow.

Among the three: Xuan Yi, Lord Wuhen, and Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was undoubtedly the easiest to deal with, and the opportunity he could gain from killing Chen Yan was the greatest.

As for Ruan Qingwu and Ying.

Ying posed no threat to Mu Yun Hai, but the man in white beside Ying posed too great a threat to Mu Yun Hai.

Ruan Qingwu had extremely powerful means, but those means were prepared for Xuan Yi; he, Mu Yun Hai, would not go looking for trouble.

In the struggle for the Dao Child position, you rack your brains to kill one Dao Child.

In the end, the one who benefits is not just you, but also the remaining surviving Dao Children.

Take Mo, for example.

Mo died.

Mo's energy, opportunities, and martial Dao memories were divided into five parts and distributed equally among Mu Yun Hai and the other remaining Dao Children.

This did not align with Mu Yun Hai's interests.

But...

Mu Yun Hai took out Mo's corpse, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Recalling a scene from forty thousand years ago.

Atop a high mountain.

Mu Yun Hai and Mo stood shoulder to shoulder.

"Brother, as Dao Children, we will inevitably contend with each other in the future; this is... how unfair."

Mu Yun Hai sighed as he watched the clouds roll and unfurl at the horizon.

"What is unfair about it? You and I, brothers, have lived for over ten thousand years, enjoying all the glory and wealth; if we die in the future, then we die—this life has been quite good," Mo said with a faint smile.

Mu Yun Hai sighed:

"But after you or I are killed by the other Dao Children, our entire martial Dao will just become a wedding dress for others."

Mo looked at Mu Yun Hai and said calmly:

"Why don't you and I cultivate the same Dao? In the future, if either one of us dies,

the other can obtain all the martial Dao memories by relying on the deceased's corpse.

If I die, you kill those few Dao Children for me.

If you die, I will also kill them for you!"

Mu Yun Hai looked at Mo and bowed respectfully:

"I shall listen to you, Brother."
