While Yun Wuji kept the Eternal Heaven's Great Ancestor occupied by hammering her with hard facts that tore through the very foundation of her life's convictions, Hei Xiaolian, who had remained on the Dark Giant, silently made her way into the Eternal Heaven Pearl.
Yun Wuji had been worried that the old hag might activate the Eternal Heaven Ten Level Realm and trap them all inside, but it seemed he had overestimated her abilities. Just as Hei Xiaolian said, this old hag was nothing more than a cheap knockoff. The fact that she could even use the Eternal Heaven Pearl's power to open the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm was already pushing it.
By the way, the Eternal Heaven Ten Level Realm, or rather the Eternal Heaven Thousand Level Realm, is another power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl.
The inner world of the Eternal Heaven Pearl can be unfolded into the time-expanding Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, which grants the ability to accelerate time inside. On the other hand, it can also be compressed and folded by ten, a hundred, or even a thousand levels. This is the opposite of the first ability, as it allows time to slow down instead.
Back then, when Mo E and Li Suo died and Ni Xuan went into seclusion, only the Creation God of Order, Xi Ke, remained to face the three Devil Emperors. Using himself as bait, he managed to entrap all three Devil Emperors within the Eternal Heaven Thousand Level Realm.
A person trapped at the heart of the Eternal Heaven Thousand Level Realm must break through a total of one thousand mini worlds to escape. However, it is incredibly easy to lose one's way during the process. There is a very real possibility that, instead of escaping, the person may sink even deeper into the Eternal Heaven Thousand Level Realm.
Even worse, the flow of time inside is a thousand times slower than normal.
So throughout the entire war, the Devil Emperors couldn't come to their race's aid, and with a large number of powerful devils already banished alongside the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, the devils began to lose ground and were forced to release the Evil Infant.
In the end, the effects of the Myriad Tribulations caused the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm to collapse. However, the poison also claimed the lives of both the Devil Emperors and Xi Ke.
With the current universe's limitations, the Eternal Heaven Pearl can barely reach the Ten Level Realm. Yet even after serving as the Pearl's spirit for over six hundred thousand years, the Eternal Heaven's Great Ancestor still couldn't use it.
"Hmph! Foolish thing, this noble one doesn't know how you sneaked inside, but since you want to bring your own doom, don't blame me for being heartless!" After a brief shock, the Eternal Heaven's Great Ancestor snorted coldly. The moment she finished speaking, the white mist inside the Eternal Heaven Pearl began to swirl violently. The Pearl Spirit's consciousness suddenly erupted into a terrifying soul storm, charging toward the soul that had just taken over nearly a quarter of her consciousness.
The Eternal Heaven Pearl was her home ground, and she had dwelled inside it for hundreds of thousands of years. It was astounding that this unknown spirit managed to take over 20 percent of the space inside, but how could a foreign spirit possibly defeat her in her own domain?
Given her powerful soul strength and the pact she had forged with the Eternal Heaven Pearl's spirit over the years, she held absolute confidence that she could forcefully expel or destroy any will that tried to invade the pearl's consciousness from the outside.
She could even use this power to invade another person's mind, so she intended to use it to severely wound or even completely destroy this black woman's soul.
However, the moment her will surged fiercely toward the invaded space, she found herself hitting a solid wall!
When her soul slammed into this terrifyingly solid consciousness space, she couldn't penetrate even a single inch, no matter how fierce her attacks were.
In that instant, she realized she was completely fucked!
"You... you are a Heavenly Spirit!" This soul had clearly just taken over a part of the Eternal Heaven Pearl, yet it had completely fused with the consciousness space of the pearl, forming a soul space so stable she could scarcely believe it.
Because she had never reached such compatibility or stability with the Eternal Heaven Pearl's consciousness space despite staying inside it for hundreds of thousands of years!
"Yep, I'm the real deal, old hag! Now fuck off! I'm taking over this place!" Hei Xiaolian's cocky attitude infuriated the poor Eternal Heaven Great Ancestor.
Her soul had directly entered the territory of the Eternal Heaven Pearl's consciousness space. When it came to soul power, even though the Evil Infant was weakened in this era, it was still far stronger than this fake Eternal Heaven Pearl's spirit.
Compared to the purity of her own soul, the Eternal Heaven Pearl Spirit's soul seemed utterly filthy. So the moment the Eternal Heaven Pearl's consciousness space touched Hei Xiaolian's soul, it reacted like a parched tree craving water. Without hesitation, it abandoned the soul that had originally occupied it and greedily formed a pact with Hei Xiaolian's soul instead.
The Eternal Heaven Great Ancestor was pushed out of her territory ruthlessly and relentlessly, powerless to resist.
Her soul was slowly abandoned, squeezed, and rejected. Finally, her voice thundered through the Eternal Heaven Pearl's consciousness space. "Who are you!? Are you the Sky Poison Pearl's spirit? How could you actually be helping the vile and wicked devils!?"
"Wrong, old hag. I am the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, and I'm helping my husband, not the devils," Hei Xiaolian replied proudly, her tone filled with contempt. Within just twenty seconds, her soul had already claimed eighty percent of the Eternal Heaven Pearl's consciousness space. "So, for my husband's sake, please go and die."
When the remaining twenty percent sensed Hei Xiaolian's soul drawing near, it throbbed instinctively.
Its original spirit had been destroyed, but if it could acquire a complete and perfect soul, it could achieve true rebirth and quickly regain its original power.
As a god among artifacts, this desire was undoubtedly its strongest instinct.
"The Evil Infant? Impossible! Impossible! How could a mortal control the Evil Infant that even the Devil Emperors failed to control!?" she shouted in shock, disbelief, and sorrow, her voice trembling as she repeated the question.
Ninety percent… Ninety-five percent…
"Because my husband is millions of times greater than those stupid, trashy Devil Emperors!" The voice of her soul reverberated powerfully within the consciousness space of the Eternal Heaven Pearl. As for the original Eternal Heaven Pearl Spirit… her soul had already been completely expelled from the Eternal Heaven Pearl.
Yun Wuji stretched out a hand, and the Eternal Heaven Pearl flew toward him on its own, gently landing in his palm.
A black mist slowly spread from the pearl before coalescing into Hei Xiaolian's voluptuous figure. Her face still wore the same cocky attitude, hands on her waist as she said, "Husband, don't forget the reward you promised me~"
"You did well," Yun Wuji smiled as he patted her head just like he did with Chi Wuyao, before Hei Xiaolian's body dissolved into black mist and returned to the Sky Poison Pearl.
"Impossible! Impossible! Return it to me! Give me back my Eternal Heaven Pearl!" At that moment, the spectral figure of an old woman materialized, shrieking in a voice like scraping metal as she flung herself wildly toward Yun Wuji.
"Kill you! I will kill you! You murdered my descendants, plundered my home, and stole my Eternal Heaven Pearl! I will not rest until I tear your life from you and purge this world of your evil!"
"Bitch, shut up and die." Yet, before she could advance more than a few paces, the Black Giant lashed out, his massive hand grabbed her. A surge of crushing darkness erupted, and the illusory form of the Eternal Heaven Great Ancestor shattered like brittle smoke.
Yep, she died, so pathetically, and so easily.
At her peak, she was only a God Emperor, barely comparable to Nan Wansheng and Qianye Fantian. Facing the Dark Giant, who brutalized Nan Wansheng like a father beating his child, she wouldn't have stood a chance, even at her prime. Now, with only her soul left, it was laughable to think she could do anything.
"The Eternal Heaven Great Ancestor died just like that?" The Divine Masters watching the scene stared blankly, stunned. Everything happened so fast, the revelation that the true Eternal Heaven Pearl's Spirit was the supposedly long-dead Eternal Heaven Great Ancestor, then the sudden appearance of another Heavenly Spirit who kicked her out of the pearl, and finally the quick and disgraceful death of the Eternal Heaven Great Ancestor.
So many earth-shattering revelations, so many unimaginable twists, all unfolded in such a short time that words couldn't even begin to capture how they felt.
"Too bad the Eternal Heaven Bell was destroyed as well. What a waste, really what a waste," Yun Wuji said, playing with the Eternal Heaven Pearl in his palm as he stared at the small debris, the only remains of the once glorious Eternal Heaven God Realm.
It was a divine artifact left behind by the gods. When the Eternal Heaven God Realm became a king realm, they renamed it the "Eternal Heaven Bell."
The "Voice of Eternal Heaven," which allowed the realm to project anyone's voice across the entire Eastern Divine Region, was produced using this bell.
It was the best tool for broadcasting. He could have used it for his universal cinema in the future. Too bad it was destroyed in the explosion.
"You're wrong, honey," Hua Jin, the culprit behind the explosion that destroyed the Eternal Heaven God Realm, came close to him with a wide smile beneath the multicolored light covering her face.
She waved her hand, and a gigantic bell appeared before him. "Before detonating the Devil Crystals, I pocketed most of their resources and took this bell as well."
She tilted her head cutely, eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well? Did I do good?"
