723 World Fragment! (2)
He looked at the Holy Light Saint Emperor, who was half-kneeling on the ground and spitting out blood. At this moment, wisps of black energy light flickered behind him.
“Holy Light Saint Emperor… How ironic. I didn’t expect you to have long defected to the Lord of Darkness. I was wondering why the style of doing things in the Light Region had changed so much over the years. It turns out… you had long betrayed the Light.”
Dai Wanqing said coldly.
“Heh, don’t waste your breath. The winner takes all. The Light Domain is already over. The ancestors of the Light lineage have long entered the Void Battlefield. We don’t know if they’re dead or alive. Without the protection of experts, what do you think we need to survive in this world? I’m only at my wits’ end by joining the Lord of Darkness.”
The Holy Light Saint Emperor’s aura was weak as he smiled. “However… don’t make yourself sound so noble. Didn’t you also betray the light and join someone else? Speaking of which, you and I are just the same kind of people.”
“I’m not like you.”
Dai Wanqing said in a deep voice, “Even though I’ve found the new master, I’ve always insisted on the justice in my heart. As for you… you’ve long been corroded by the darkness and have forgotten your identity as the Holy Light Saint Emperor. As the Son of Light, what have you done all these years? Other than being a lackey, have you helped the Light Domain become better? No!”
“You… have long lost your heart! Otherwise, why haven’t you been able to take the last step for so many years? The reason is that you betrayed the light!”
Dai Wanqing’s gaze was indifferent. With a swing of his sword, the sword light instantly split the world into two.
Swoosh!
Sword light flashed, and the Holy Light Saint Emperor’s aura dissipated. He died with remaining grievances.
There was only a crazy smile on his lips.
“Sigh, the dignified lord of a region actually ended up like this. How sad.”
Dai Wanqing sighed and took out his communication jade talisman. He contacted Lin Bei and told him what had happened.
After Lin Bei received the news, he directly teleported Guang Taichong to the Light Domain and asked him to take over the current Light Domain and carry out reconstruction work.
Regardless, Guang Taichong was also the former Holy Lord of the Light Region. Although it was unknown how many years had passed, it was indeed justifiable for him to take over.
“Sigh, I didn’t expect… the Light Domain to be in such a sorry state now. It’s my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on entering the Void Battlefield back then, the Light Domain wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
In the sky above the Light Domain, Guang Taichong glanced around. He could not hide the grief in his eyes.
“Elder Guang, don’t blame yourself too much. Guarding the Void Battlefield is of extraordinary significance to the entire Heavenly Mysterious Realm.”
Dai Wanqing bowed and appeared beside Guang Taichong.
“In the end, it’s my negligence.”
Guang Taichong sighed and shook his head. He looked at the corpse of the Holy Light Saint Emperor that had been cut off by a sword and walked forward. He muttered, “Poor child. All these years… you’ve suffered.”
As he spoke, endless light energy descended and fused into the Holy Light Saint Emperor’s body, converging all the life force that was about to dissipate in his body and reconstructing it. At the same time, the remaining dark aura in his body dissipated.
The entire process lasted for a full six hours before it ended.
“What… What happened to me?”
The Holy Light Saint Emperor slowly opened his eyes. He lowered his head to look at his hands and muttered, “I seem to have… had a very long dream.”
“Child, you’re awake.”
“Ancestor? Why are you back? Aren’t you fighting for the Heavenly Mysterious Realm in the Void Battlefield? Could it be that… the front line has collapsed?”
Determination flashed in the Holy Light Owner’s eyes. “I beg the Ancestor to agree to let all the men of our Light lineage fight the enemy to the death!”
At the side, Dai Wanqing was stunned.
Was this person… still the Holy Light Saint Emperor who had betrayed the Light and submitted to the Darkness?
This didn’t seem right.
“Hehe, don’t worry. The Void Battlefield… is fine. I came back only to help you reconstruct your Dao heart. It’s been hard on you all these years.”
“I… I’m sorry! Ancestor, I…”
Suddenly, the Holy Light Saint Emperor seemed to have thought of something, and a look of struggle appeared on his face.
“It’s fine. It’s good to know your mistakes and change them. You have to manage the Holy Light Sanctuary well in the future, understand?”
“Thank you for your forgiveness, Ancestor!”
“Alright, I still have something on. I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, Guang Taichong’s figure flashed and disappeared.
What a joke. He did not want to stay in the Holy Light Sanctuary and waste his life. He still wanted to follow Lin Bei and continue to cultivate and become stronger.
He was now proud to be a member of the Personal Guards.
When Dai Wanqing saw this, how could he not understand Guang Taichong’s thoughts? He only exchanged a few pleasantries with the Holy Light Saint Emperor and left in a hurry.
To him, it was already not bad for the Holy Light Sanctuary to have such an outcome.
He believed that as long as the Holy Light Saint Emperor worked hard in the future and did not take the wrong path, the Holy Light Sanctuary would definitely be able to get back on track.
“You… are leaving just like that? Hey, I still have a lot to tell you.”
The Holy Light Saint Emperor stood up and looked in the direction where Guang Taichong and Dai Wanqing left, feeling lost.
“Son, let’s join forces and manage the Holy Light Sanctuary well.”
Behind the Holy Light Saint Emperor, a crack appeared in the void and a hunchbacked old man in a white robe walked out.
“Father, your body…”
“I’m fine. The Ancestor healed the injuries in my body just now. The current me only looks old. Actually… I feel very good.”
“That’s great!”
The Holy Light Saint Emperor hugged the old Saint Emperor and said excitedly, “I will definitely not disappoint you! I will not disappoint Old Ancestor!”
“Yes, to hold on to our hearts and to the light. This is the Dao that we of the Light lineage should persevere on.”
The old Holy Emperor smiled and patted his son’s head. He smiled in relief.
At that moment, the auras of the two of them swelled. In the blink of an eye, they broke through and stepped into the Saint realm.
Their path ahead was clear.
The father and son hugged each other and cried tears of joy.
The Light Domain was finally on the right track.
…
A distorted space was filled with a desolate desert. Above the desert, endless black flames floated, as if they wanted to devour the surrounding space.
In the depths of the black flames, a palace stood. It was the palace where the Lord of Fear lived.
At this moment, a man in embroidered clothes was walking in the desert. He looked around with a surprised expression.
“Not bad. I didn’t expect… that there was actually such a world fragment hidden in the Heavenly Mystic Realm. It was actually discovered by Fear. I have to say that this kid has a lot of potential to become the Son of Heaven and Earth. Unfortunately… he took the wrong path.”
The Heavenly Emperor walked in the desert and looked at the distorted space around him with some emotion.
He was very clear about the world fragment. This was the result of the battle between the experts of the ancient martial arts era and the collapse of the world.
In the past, these world fragments were actually a world.
At the same time, such world fragments often contained the inheritance of the ancient martial arts era. It was precisely because of this that many experts flocked to the world fragments.
However, he did not expect that such a thing that even the Above the Great Dao experts treated as a treasure would actually fall into the hands of a weak person at the Perfected Great Dao realm.
This was really surprising.
However… this was only temporary. He believed that it would not be long before this world fragment changed owners.
A smile appeared on the Heavenly Emperor’s face.
Initially, he was still thinking that Lin Bei was too disrespectful to him as the Heavenly Emperor. However, from the looks of it now… he only hoped that there would be more jobs like this. He did not mind being a fighter, as long as he could keep earning precious world fragments.
“Looks like the Lord of Fear’s Divine Rune Dao is the inheritance obtained from this world fragment. If that’s the case, the inheritance of this world fragment is really not simple! It actually has a path that leads straight to the Dao Ancestor Realm. No wonder this kid is so arrogant. It turns out that he has something to rely on!”
The Heavenly Emperor’s heart was like a mirror.
With just a glance, he saw through everything.
