168 – The Emperor’s Scripture! The Unlucky Anomaly

‘What kind of Divine Ability is this!?’

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s pupils contracted as he felt an extreme sense of danger, filled with terror.

As for the White Demon Emperor, his face turned pale.

He was horrified to find that even with the formation disk’s protection, the spreading Fire Abyss was still causing him harm through it—cutting his flesh and burning his essence.

Simultaneously, the protection formed by the formation disk was also disintegrating; it wouldn’t be long before it collapsed.

Once it collapsed, he would fall without a doubt.

‘Damn it!’

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao felt a chill in his heart and without hesitation, threw out a secret treasure to block the Fire Abyss for a while.

As for himself, he had already fled towards the distance.

He had completely underestimated Wang Ping’s combat strength.

Wang Ping actually possessed the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, and the Divine Ability he showcased clearly surpassed the Emperor level, reaching the realm of Divine-level techniques.

In other words, he had been outsmarted by Wang Ping.

His opponent had started plotting against him since the battle with Brother Dao.

Moreover, the opponent must have used some method to deceive the Heavenly Tracking Talisman, only exposing the first level of the Emperor Realm cultivation.

Everything was calculated for fishing.

This transmigrator junior not only had formidable strength but also a deep scheming mind, making Chu Xiao shiver inside.

‘So weak.’

Wang Ping looked at the fleeing Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and felt that the opponent seemed much weaker than in the Life Simulator.

Soon, Wang Ping realized.

The current time was a thousand years ago.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao from a thousand years ago was certainly not as strong as he would be a thousand years later.

On the contrary, his own cultivation was solid Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, obtained from the rewards before his fall.

Besides that, his insights were also stronger than the time he killed the Nine Nether Demon Emperor in the Life Simulator.

Chu Xiao was weaker, and he was stronger, leading to this one-sided situation.

It’s very likely that the detailed descriptions of cards used against anomalies or quasi-immortals from other second-generation transmigrators were absent even in the Life Simulator.

‘Since that’s the case, then you shall die!’

Wang Ping let out a cold laugh, his magic power surged out, pushing Divine Ability: Fire Abyss to its maximum output.

‘Ah!’

The White Demon Emperor was the first to be unable to hold on. The formation’s defense broke through, and with a miserable scream, he turned into ashes; his flesh was burned, his soul extinguished.

As for Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, his face also changed drastically, sensing fatal danger.

He desperately wanted to tear apart the space and escape, but he found that although the White Demon Emperor had not continued to seal the space earlier, he still couldn’t tear the space to flee.

Because Wang Ping had already used a secret technique to seal the space again, nobody could employ spatial techniques.

In terms of spatial mastery, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao wasn’t even worthy to carry Wang Ping’s shoes.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to escape. Even if he did, Wang Ping could easily catch up.

‘You forced me into this!’

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s eyes flashed viciously. Knowing today was a dead end for him, he sought to fight Wang Ping to the death.

Even if he died, he would drag Wang Ping down with him.

Even if he couldn’t perish together with Wang Ping, he would make Wang Ping pay the price of wounding his essence…
“Futile struggle. It appears you can’t easily transmit items here. This chat group, created by Alpha, is clearly superior.”

Wang Ping looked at Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and sneered.

Chu Xiao’s face was sullen. Without replying, he rushed into the Fire Abyss, burning his essence to forcibly enhance his combat power and launched a frenzied assault on Wang Ping.

Wang Ping was right. Their current chat group was merely a defective version created using the essence that dissipated after the destruction of the second-generation chat group. Many things couldn’t be done.

Even transmitting items took time.

In other words, if he didn’t beforehand request other transmigrators in the group to prepare various trump cards, he wouldn’t be able to turn the tables during a fight.

However, the second-generation chat group was not a friendly chat group; it was fraught with deceit and conflicts of interest. Every surviving transmigrator was a cunning individual.

If you don’t pay a high price, wanting someone to trade good items with you without a bit of daylight robbery is impossible.

So, under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t trade with people in the chat group nor reveal too much about himself.

Moreover, the things he needed at his level weren’t ordinary and could not be easily exchanged. The things he could trade were also few.

Of course, this time, mainly due to the lack of intelligence, he suffered.

Though he took Wang Ping seriously, when Wang Ping fought Brother Dao, he showed only the Great Perfection of Nirvana Realm cultivation and King Realm combat power. He even exchanged information and several items worth a fortune with powerful emperors.

He thought he could kill Wang Ping without fail, but unexpectedly, Wang Ping was so strong that it made him feel like spitting blood.

He still wasn’t cautious enough…

“Cornered beast’s desperate fight…”

Seeing that Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao didn’t respond and was determined to fight to the death, Wang Ping sneered again, continuing to provoke him.

However, Wang Ping didn’t act carelessly and continued fighting with Chu Xiao with full strength.

As their battle raged on, space shattered in large fragments. The terrifying shockwaves affected more than half the sea area.

Although the spatial lockdown prevented major damage to the outside world and ordinary cultivators couldn’t detect such waves…

…for emperors, it was as conspicuous as a beacon.

Thus, whether it was Profound Turtle or nearby emperors, they all rushed over immediately.

When they saw Wang Ping fervently fighting with the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, repeatedly severing or burning Chu Xiao’s body to ashes, all the emperors present were visibly shocked.

Wang Ping and Nine Nether Demon Emperor were too powerful. No one in the Purple Spirit Realm could match them.

However, it was clear that the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was only at the same level as the Tai Chu Emperor. Although strong enough to be among the top five in the Purple Spirit Realm, Wang Ping was significantly stronger, practically beyond the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, even surpassing the once-mighty Azure Flame Supreme Emperor from ten thousand years ago.

“The Nine Nether Demon Emperor has been arrogant for so many years, and now he is finally facing his downfall. As for the White Demon Emperor, it seems he has already fallen earlier.”

Sky Emperor sighed.

He could see that although the Nine Nether Demon Emperor had restored his body repeatedly, it was merely a desperate struggle. His essence and power were waning; he would fall soon.

“They killed so many people back then and even destroyed a Holy Land. Now being killed is merely karma.”

Another emperor appeared and said coldly.

“Once the Nine Nether Demon Emperor falls, it will be time to eliminate the Nine Nether Demon Sect and this cancer. When the two worlds converge, we will have no worries.”

All the emperors nodded, planning to strike the demon while he’s down after Chu Xiao’s demise.

Without a powerful emperor, locating their headquarters would only take more time.

“Wang Ping! Don’t think that killing me means you can rest easy. You will know despair in the future!”

Soon, Chu Xiao could no longer hold on. He roared unwillingly and was completely obliterated by Wang Ping, dying without leaving a trace.

Wang Ping paid no heed to Chu Xiao’s final threat, remaining calm.

He was well aware that his battle with Chu Xiao was likely being broadcast live, just as it had been when he fought Brother Dao. Or rather, Chu Xiao had already sent all his information to the second-generation chat group.

After seeing this, those ‘senior transmigrators’ would definitely be wary of him and find ways to eliminate him.

But, so what? Since they were mortal enemies and one side would eventually be utterly destroyed, there was nothing to fear. First, he would deal with Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, this world’s mortal enemy.
“May I know how to address you?”

Sky Emperor respectedly cupped his hands towards Wang Ping, who had just dominantly killed Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao without suffering any injuries. Although shocked, he approached Wang Ping, speaking in a friendly tone.

“Wang Ping. You can call me Emperor Tianyan,” Wang Ping replied with a smile, after a brief contemplation.

He had the Life Simulator.

Life Simulator, simulating the future and deducing lives.

The term ‘Tianyan’ suited him well as a moniker for his travels.

Of course, if in the future he grows enough to be called the Heavenly Emperor, that would be even more gratifying.

“Emperor Tianyan…”

Wang Ping’s words left Sky Emperor and the others visibly astonished.

The term ‘Tianyan’ held infinite profoundness, not just anyone could bear its weight.

At the same time, they felt that Wang Ping’s divine abilities didn’t align with the term ‘Tianyan’, making the title seem truly peculiar.

However, considering Wang Ping’s terrifying combat power, they didn’t say anything openly.

“Isn’t he a newly ascended Emperor? How did his cultivation suddenly surge and become so powerful?”

At this moment, only Profound Turtle was puzzled, bewildered since witnessing the battle.

He hadn’t sensed it wrong; previously, Wang Ping was indeed a newly ascended Emperor at the first level of the Emperor Realm. Why had he reached the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm within a month, with such terrifying combat power?

Or, was Wang Ping deceiving him, pretending to be a naive turtle… Whether in cultivation or age, he intentionally concealed it to lure both Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and White Demon Emperor.

Hmm, it must be this.

“Daoist Tianyan, since the demons have been vanquished, how about visiting our Heavenly Sword Holy Land?” Sky Emperor warmly invited.

“Fellow Daoists, I still have matters to attend to. I shall visit another day,” Wang Ping responded, cupping his hands slightly towards the Emperors, speaking courteously.

“All right. Then I shall prepare the finest ancient tea, awaiting Daoist Tianyan’s visit to our Heavenly Sword Holy Land,” Sky Emperor replied with a polite smile.

Seeing this, the other Emperors also expressed similarly courteous invitations.

Finally, the Emperors one by one took their leave, restoring tranquility to this space once more.

After they departed, Wang Ping summoned the demonic saber of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and the broken Emperor Weapon from White Demon Emperor.

The previous battle had been too intense; even Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao himself was obliterated. Naturally, their Emperor Weapons could not remain intact.

Unsure, Wang Ping wondered if these Emperor Weapons could be used to cover the costs of paid simulations.

However, Wang Ping set aside the matter of paid simulations for now and directly spoke in his mind, “System, I want to conduct a free simulation.”

Although he considered continuing his watch here, he needed confirmation through a simulation.

If Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao hadn’t acquired that resurrection item at this time point, making resurrection impossible, he wouldn’t need to watch for so long.

Otherwise, it was just a waste of time.

“Ding, Life Simulator activated, free simulation starting,” the System’s voice rang out, and Wang Ping’s consciousness blurred, signaling he had entered the simulation state.

“System, fast forward directly,” Wang Ping said decisively in his mind.

【On the first day, you chose to keep watch.】
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao did not resurrect, surprising you a little.

Although you believed the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was definitely dead, you still set up various killing formations, illusion arrays, and trapping formations to prevent any chance of his escape. After settling these, you returned to the back of the Profound Turtle, taking Cai Yonglong and Chi Feng with you.

Next, you directly took the two to Blue Flame Valley. Just as you remembered, you passed through the great formation, reached the depths of the ancient Blue Flame, saw the palace group, and took many valuable items.

At the same time, you brought Chi Feng to meet the true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor. When the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor saw Chi Feng, he was shocked, laughing heartily and stating that heaven favored his Scarlet Clan. It was unexpected that among his descendants was one with a Scarlet Flame Sacred Body. If Chi Feng could grow in the future, he could restore the glory of the Scarlet Clan and bring their line back to the clan.

You were shocked to hear the words of the true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor. Although you had long known that Chi Feng’s physique was extraordinary, you previously thought he had a special bloodline, but you didn’t expect him to have an unawakened Scarlet Flame Sacred Body.

Next, you curiously asked the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor just how strong the Scarlet Flame Sacred Body was and how it could be awakened. The true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor stopped laughing, showing a melancholic expression as though returning to reality.

He told you that the Sacred Body lineage was immensely powerful. If one could cultivate to the Great Perfection of the quasi-emperor level and the Sacred Body reached the Great Perfection Dominion, they would have the qualifications to battle an emperor. Such beings could dominate an era.

Moreover, Chi Feng not only has the Scarlet Flame Sacred Body but if in the future his bloodline could revert to the emperor bloodline, under dual talents, it was unimaginable how strong he could become.

This shocked you, not expecting Chi Feng’s hidden talent to be this terrifying, even more than Ye Hei. Of course, you also thought of Ye Xiaofan in the group, who also had a Sacred Body, but was currently very low-key, limited to the cultivation world and hadn’t grown yet.

Next, the true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor bitterly smiled and told you that unfortunately, their clan was now affected by ominous forces, making it difficult to cultivate. With the bloodline and Sacred Body unable to awaken, there were no resources in the lower realm to allow the Sacred Body to grow.

Upon hearing this, you were surprised, and assured the true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor that if in the future you had the ability to ascend to the upper realm with Chi Feng, you would definitely take him to find the clan members of the Scarlet Clan in the upper realm.

The true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor was very gratified to hear your promise. You were already at the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm and had the potential to ascend. Although it was extremely difficult to take someone else to ascend, not something an ordinary new Void God Realm cultivator could accomplish, there was at least some hope.

For this, the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor thought for a while and handed you a scripture. It was the Emperor’s scripture. To be precise, it was the Emperor’s scripture, the Mortal Realm chapter.

The Emperor’s scripture, the Mortal Dao chapter, records the cultivation methods of the Mortal Realm below the Void God Realm. In the eyes of the powerful beings in the upper realm, the path of cultivation has four realms, encompassing many stages: Mortal Realm, God Realm, Sacred Realm, and Path of Proof.

The Mortal Realm is still within the realm of mortals, not yet truly transforming. In the God Realm, one has already left the mortal realm and entered the divine realm. A powerful God Realm expert can easily destroy a lower plane.

The Sacred Realm needs no further elaboration; its level of power is unimaginable. Even in the upper realm, once one enters the Sacred Realm, they are considered a significant figure. The Path of Proof encompasses the Supreme, quasi-emperor on the path to proving their Dao, and the emperor, the one who has successfully proved their Dao and is a true supreme being.

You took the Mortal Realm chapter, reading the numerous annotations on it, feeling shocked. At the same time, through the Mortal Realm chapter of the Emperor’s scripture, you saw many shortcomings in your current state.

While it seemed you had achieved perfection in each realm, you were far from truly being complete. It was only because you were in the lower realm, comparing yourself with others there, that you appeared perfect.

The true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor saw your thoughts and sighed, stating that only by cultivating the Emperor’s scripture in the upper realm could one approach perfection in each stage, with combat strength far superior to ordinary cultivators. However, the Emperor’s scriptures were so profound that not everyone could cultivate them successfully. Only those with extraordinary talents could succeed and possess terrifying combat strength.

In the upper realm, such people are the true favoured ones, standing above their peers. Only those who also cultivate the Emperor’s scriptures can compete with them at the same level.

You were shocked, becoming even more fascinated with the upper realm. Cai Yonglong was also dumbfounded, longing for the upper realm. Next, you curiously asked the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor why, if he had the Emperor’s scripture, he had fallen to being a distant branch and wasn’t treated well.

The Azure Flame Supreme Emperor fell silent, finally bitterly smiling and saying that it was because they had the Emperor’s scripture that they ended up this way. One of their ancestors had fallen in love with a witch when he was young and leaked the Mortal Realm chapter of the Emperor’s scripture. For this, their lineage had become a guilty clan within their family.

Then, another ancestor drove their lineage out of the clan, becoming a distant branch family. However, this was already the best outcome. After all, under normal circumstances, even if they were exterminated, it would have been reasonable and they would have had no cause for complaint.

The Emperor’s scripture is the most precious heritage of the imperial clan. Even if only the Mortal Realm chapter was leaked, it was a serious enough issue, an unforgivable crime.

Listening to the words of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor, you finally resolved many questions in your heart. After all, you had always thought that as an imperial clan in the upper realm, even as a distant branch, even if the branch that escaped to the Purple Spirit Realm was only a part of this distant branch, it shouldn’t have fallen so far, owning just a divine-level technique and divine abilities, along with a low-grade divine weapon.

After all, although a low-grade divine weapon is extremely precious in the lower realm, rarely seen, in the upper realm, it is merely the life-bound weapon of a Void God Realm cultivator. For an ordinary upper realm family, it is indeed extremely precious, even considered a clan-stabilizing artifact. But for an imperial clan in the upper realm, it was far too shabby.

At the same time, you also marveled in your heart, as expected, bringing Chi Feng made all the difference. Without Chi Feng, you would never have had the possibility of obtaining the Emperor’s scripture. Of course, if Chi Feng were not a Sacred Body, he would not have obtained the Emperor’s scripture. The Azure Flame Supreme Emperor would not have given it to him.

Ultimately, only by demonstrating enough value can one bring out good things for investment and repayment. This is the truth of the world.

Next, after further communicating with the true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor, his true spirit disappeared. You chose to bury his body, planning to train hard here.

‘The Emperor’s scripture, who would have thought it concealed such a great opportunity, it’s really ridiculous. Without this opportunity, lower realm cultivators going to the upper realm wouldn’t stand a chance of reaching the peak.’

Wang Ping sighed in his heart.

Thinking about it this way, the upper realm is really competitive.

Those ascending from the lower realm do not have such solid foundations. Although they wouldn’t fall to being ordinary cultivators, compared with those from great clans, their foundations were significantly weaker, incomparable to the imperial clans.

This also reminded Wang Ping of some conventional plots in fantasy novels he had read before.

Some ascenders, after ascending to the upper realm, found their foundations lacking and had no choice but to disperse their cultivation and start anew. Only this way could they become strong; otherwise, their path would be obstructed, and progress would be difficult.
Wang Ping thought that although he might not be stuck at the God Realm, it would become increasingly difficult going forward.

Of course, this would be the case without obtaining a strong talent again, which might cause such problems.

Now, having obtained the Mortal Realm chapter of the Emperor’s scripture: Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture, there would be no such problems.

Dispersing cultivation and starting anew might be extremely troublesome for others, prone to accidents, but Wang Ping was different. Wang Ping’s cultivation relied on the simulator, allowing him to easily retrain.
The current him possesses immense resources.

Even if he disperses his cultivation and starts over, he can reach the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm in a very short time.

“Cultivating to the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm with the Emperor’s Scripture, I wonder if it can allow me to directly overpower a quasi-immortal, or even fight against a Void God Realm expert.”

This thought flashed through Wang Ping’s mind, filled with great anticipation.

Next, Wang Ping continued to stare at the screen, as the text appeared once again.

【After some thought, you took Chi Feng, Cai Yonglong, and others and hid in a palace, carefully setting up multiple formations. After all, the fire attribute energy here is too violent. If you were to disperse your cultivation, Chi Feng and Cai Yonglong would have no protection and would be directly killed by this raging energy. Though your physical body remains strong even if your cultivation is dispersed, it would still be troublesome.】

【You proceed to study the Emperor’s Scripture, trying to comprehend it. To your frustration, the Emperor’s Scripture contains profound Daoist rhythms and is difficult to understand. You sigh internally, thinking that if it were so easy to comprehend, then the true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor would not have said those words.】

【Even in the upper realms, only a few can achieve mastery of the Emperor’s Scripture. It’s normal that you can’t get started in a short time. However, an unexpected surprise appeared. Chi Feng, who obtained the Emperor’s Scripture, seemed to have effortlessly mastered it like he had unlocked his meridians.】

【Moreover, he directly awakened his Crimson Flame Sacred Body, and his cultivation quickly reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. If not for the bloodline curse, Chi Feng’s cultivation would have continued to surge.】

【You can only sigh in admiration. A Sacred Body is terrifying. If Chi Feng does not disappear after several years, and his cultivation is not hindered by the bloodline curse, he would easily surpass you in the lower realms and crush all future enemies.】

【As for Ye Chen, he’s no match for Chi Feng. Compared to the flawless Chi Feng, Ye Chen, the chosen one of the Purple Spirit Realm, seems insignificant.】

【Though disheartened, you quickly calm your mind and continue to comprehend the Emperor’s Scripture. Cai Yonglong is even more frustrated. Despite obtaining the Emperor’s Scripture, he feels like he has a precious treasure but can’t enter it, unable to see through the profound Daoist rhythms of the text, as though reading celestial script.】

【This feeling is painful, extremely painful, but he can’t bear to give up. After all, this is the Emperor’s Scripture, the supreme scripture. If cultivated, his future would be bright, perhaps not defeating all, but certainly becoming powerful.】

【In the blink of an eye, decades have passed. During these years, Chi Feng mysteriously disappeared, leaving you to sigh. You hope that Chi Feng was summoned to the upper realms while you continue to calmly comprehend the Emperor’s Scripture.】

【These decades of comprehension made you deeply understand the limits of Purple Talent – Divine Comprehension. Although this talent is good, it’s far from the level of the Emperor’s Scripture. Of course, you are not entirely unable to comprehend this scripture.】

【However, it requires a long time to comprehend and understand. The time needed, if in the upper realms, would have seen your cultivation progress fall behind those geniuses.】

【Ultimately, even after spending a thousand years, you failed to master the Emperor’s Scripture. This left you deeply regretful. Cai Yonglong had already given up, realizing he was not suited for it and decided to follow his old path.】

【After a thousand years, under your abundant resources, he reached the Nirvana Realm. Although still weak, it was a decent improvement.】

【You choose to emerge because the two realms’ war is imminent. Due to focusing almost all your time on comprehending the Emperor’s Scripture during this simulation, your other aspects saw little improvement, and your battle power did not change much.】

【You do not regret this decision. Failing to cherish the Emperor’s Scripture would be foolish. Moreover, under these circumstances, unless your power undergoes another qualitative change, you cannot alter the destruction’s outcome.】

【The two from the upper realms are too formidable. You suspect that both the elder and the youth have suppressed their cultivation because the lower realms cannot withstand such strong powers. Void God Realm is manageable, but those above would crack the lower realm, causing rejection.】

【Additionally, according to the true spirit of the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor, the upper realms have rules that prohibit powerful God Realm experts from descending to lower realms casually. This explains why the descendants in this lineage, after descending ten thousand years ago, passed down for generations until the Azure Flame Supreme Emperor’s our generation, lacked even a quasi-immortal.】

【You do not interfere with the two realms’ war. Instead, you have some guesses to verify.】

The text simulation paused here.

Memories of delving into the Mortal Chapter of the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture appeared in Wang Ping’s mind. His consciousness blurred, and his vision shifted, appearing in the palace of Blue Flame Valley.

“This Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture is too profound. Every character is extremely unique, containing Daoist rhythms. If one cannot understand some of its mysteries, they cannot grasp its meaning, like viewing a leopard through a tube.”

Wang Ping couldn’t help but sigh.

Next, a thought emerged in Wang Ping’s mind.

This is why the text simulation ended, leading to an immersive simulation.

This thought was to defeat the Profound Turtle, release the anomaly, and verify his guess.

Because he had ignored some details in his previous deductions.

Due to various simulations’ reasons, many details had blurred.

In reality, his demonic transformation and being controlled by the anomaly may not necessarily stem from killing Ye Chen’s first Ring Grandpa, but other reasons.

Because in two simulations, he did not transform into an anomaly and was ultimately destroyed by the black mist.

The first was when he hid in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm floating in spatial turbulence.

The second was when he secluded himself in the Blood Demon Realm’s Origin Demon Blood Pool.

Logically, if his downfall was due to killing Ye Chen’s first Ring Grandpa, he would not have escaped in those simulations and would have been controlled by the anomaly.

Furthermore, the anomaly is released first, followed by the appearance of the black mist…
However, in the previous simulations, apart from seeing some scenes of the anomaly from a god’s eye view, there were no other descriptions. It was as if nothing had happened, which was also very strange.

There must be something he overlooked.

Faced with the anomaly, one must exercise the utmost caution. Without fully understanding its abilities, Wang Ping dared not unseal the anomaly and confront it.

“Old Turtle, although it’s a bit cruel, this is just a simulation, you won’t actually die, so you’ll just have to bear with it. System, continue to fast forward.”

After muttering this in his heart, Wang Ping fast-forwarded.

Instantly, the screen reappeared, and the text appeared once more.

【After making your decision, you ponder over the details and came up with some speculations.】

【When the two realms merged and the strong were all drawn away, you replaced the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and started attacking the Profound Turtle.】

【The Profound Turtle was shocked and angry, questioning why you were doing this. In response, you expressed hope that the Profound Turtle would release the Emperor of Judgement to help you validate a few things, and you would stop attacking.】

【The Profound Turtle was furious, thinking you were too crazy, and did not cooperate. Instead, it strengthened its defenses. Helplessly, you sighed, used a divine weapon, made a full-force attack, and killed the Profound Turtle.】

【However, before the Profound Turtle died, it reinforced the seal as you remembered. This was also as you wished.】

【Afterwards, you left with the sealed Emperor of Judgement. An Emperor-level figure came to check, was furious, but could not find you.】

【Over time, although you could have broken the seal early on, you chose not to, intending to break it at the time point in your memory, so the experiment would hold more meaning.】

【When the time came, you purposefully broke the seal and released the anomaly. And before the anomaly was released, you tore through space and left, entering spatial turbulence and entering a small world.】

【Soon, you discovered that your soul wasn’t polluted nor taken over by the anomaly. This was a validation of your hypothesis. You guessed that the anomaly’s dominant ability, though terrifying, only activates when someone kills a descendant of the Emperor of Judgement it has possessed.】

【But this ability doesn’t always trigger the curse. If too far apart, separated by world barriers, spatial turbulence, or isolation in a small world, you wouldn’t be polluted.】

【Of course, you also have a speculation that if the anomaly notices you and induces a stronger curse, it could still corrupt specific souls and dominate them as subsidiary souls.】

【This point is similar to the first anomaly you encountered in the zombie world. If it uses its power strongly, it can shorten the ability’s activation time.】

“So this is how its ability works… This explains many questions.”

Wang Ping nodded in realization, continuing to stare at the screen.

Next, there was still a question to be clarified.

Although he had some guesses in his mind.

【After solving some aspects of the anomaly’s abilities, you have a few things left to verify. Namely, after the anomaly appeared, why didn’t it cause a bigger commotion aside from the initial outbreak.】

【To investigate this, you released a puppet at the King level to check the situation.】

【After the puppet went out, through it, you learned what happened outside. After the anomaly appeared, many beings in the Purple Spirit Realm suffered calamities. Many cultivators fell to demonic possession, and countless strong figures in the Blood Demon Realm were dominated as well. Even the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Realm was struggling, eventually bound to be dominated.】

【Being a quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Realm, they also participated in the war ten millennia ago, thus killing some descendants of the Emperor of Judgement, making it normal for them to be affected.】

【While the anomaly’s abilities wreaked havoc, you sensed through the puppet a terrifying, godlike hand smiting the rampant anomaly to death just as it emerged.】

【You were startled, immediately guessing that the person who acted wasn’t either the elder or the young man. Only these two could unleash such powerful Void God Realm strength, and not just any ordinary Void God Realm power.】

【No wonder the anomaly caused no waves after its emergence… It was swiftly killed by the strong descending from the Upper Realm, pitifully enough.】

【The Emperor of Judgement’s power is strong, but the anomaly couldn’t necessarily fully exert it. Besides, even if it could, compared to the experts from the Upper Realm, it’s like an ant.】

【You felt complicated, not expecting the anomaly you feared would be casually killed by someone. The people from the Upper Realm are terrifying.】

【However, although these two exterminated the anomaly for unknown reasons, they released the black fog, making them the culprits in the destruction of the Purple Spirit Realm and Blood Demon Realm. They’re not heroes, just villains.】

【Of course, you, being the one who released the anomaly, are also not a hero. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black.】

【Next, after thinking it over, you wanted to gather more information. To this end, you decided to seek these two people from the Upper Realm, trying to uncover their purpose and identity from them.】

【With this in mind, you took action and found them, directly stating your purpose.】

【The young man disdainfully thought that a mere Lower Realm ant like you dreaming of becoming his follower was laughable.】

【Sensing the young man’s intent, the elder behind him killed you instantly. Due to the Rebirth Talisman, you revived an hour later, feeling quite irritated.】

【Next, you went directly to the Forbidden Ground of the Primordial Holy Land, seeking to hide its entrance before the duo discovered its secrets, preventing the catastrophe in the Purple Spirit Realm.】

【However, because you killed the Profound Turtle and released the anomaly, the Tai Chu Emperor didn’t trust you, responding angrily and attempting to suppress you using all of the Holy Land’s resources.】
