Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“The tenth eye!”

There was dead silence throughout the entire world. All eyes were looking in amazement at the Demonic Shadow standing in the sky at the Lower Planes. The nine eyes on the Heavenly Evil Deity’s body were gone, including the two eyes on his face. The only eye that was left was the strange evil eye on his glabella. That evil eye was dark and indescribable, and it seemed to be connected to an evil world.

A faint Demonic Power emanated from the Heavenly Evil Deity’s body, and as the Demonic Power spread out, the Lower Planes started to shake and collapse. A bit of Demonic Power leaked out from the Lower Planes, and it caused the Spirit Demon Continent, which was nearest to the Lower Planes, to crack.

The entire Great Thousand World suddenly trembled. “The tenth eye... the state of nine eyes is not the Heavenly Evil Deity’s ultimate power.”

Qin Tian and the top powers from the Great Thousand World turned pale. When the Heavenly Evil Deity was at the state with nine eyes, the Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, and Mu Chen had had to join forces to deal with him. Now that the Heavenly Evil Deity had the tenth eye, how could they possibly deal with him? All of them looked at one another and felt helpless as they lost all hope.

“Is our Great Thousand World about to perish?” someone lamented, as he could no longer hold himself back. After fighting tirelessly for five years, they were still going to perish!

There was silence in the entire Great Thousand World as the people were stunned by the Heavenly Evil Deity, who was now in the state with his tenth eye. They were speechless, and they started to feel despair.

Mu Chen, the Flame Emperor, and the Martial Ancestor, who were at the Lower Planes, turned ghastly pale. They knitted their brows together and started to feel uneasy. They were taken aback by the scene. They could sense from the Demonic Power the Heavenly Evil Deity exuded that he had become much more powerful than before.

“What shall we do?” the Martial Ancestor asked in a deep voice. Even at that instant, he remained calm. It was apparent that he was determined to take the Heavenly Evil Deity on, and he would not be swayed.

The Flame Emperor smiled helplessly and replied, “What else can we do?

Mu Chen said softly, “We shall fight him with our lives.”

The three of them looked at one another and looked determined. Without any hesitation, they activated their most deadly attacks again.

“Fire God!”

“The Great Universe!”

“The Alpha Pellet!”

The three deadliest attacks whooshed out toward the Heavenly Evil Deity again. However, this time around, the Heavenly Evil Deity remained calm in the face of their attacks. He curled up his lips into a derisive smile, and a ray of black light suddenly burst out from the tenth evil eye on his glabella. The black light was dark, and it devoured the light that was around it.

The black light shined on the three powerful attacks, and suddenly everyone—including Mu Chen, the Flame Emperor, and the Martial Ancestor—was shocked. They saw that the three powerful attacks had instantly dimmed down, and after a few breaths, they disappeared into the darkness.

The most powerful attacks that had inflicted some external injuries on the Heavenly Evil Deity earlier had been effortlessly countered by the Heavenly Evil Deity. The whole world went into silence.

The Heavenly Evil Deity gently stroked the strange looking evil eye on his glabella and said with a smile, “I have sacrificed nine eyes for the tenth eye. On top of that, I have shortened my life. I have paid such a high price for it, and if I do not take over the Great Thousand World with all the sacrifices that I have made, it will be a great loss for me!”

The black light on the evil eye on the Heavenly Evil Deity’s glabella surged, and it looked at Mu Chen, the Flame Emperor, and the Martial Ancestor. A voice then resounded, saying, “I have given you an opportunity, but it is a pity that you have not treasured it.”

The Flame Emperor squinted, and light flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be in deep thought, and after a while, he sighed. Flames rose up from his body, and there was a helpless look on his face. “Although the Great Thousand World is big, we have nowhere to go to. In that case... I might as well burn myself up. This may be the right way to go.” The Flame Emperor sounded determined.

When the Martial Ancestor heard what the Flame Emperor had said, he nodded. Since they were in such a state, they could not care less. They were the Great Thousand World’s last line of defense, and if they failed, all those people whom they cared for would be destroyed by the Demon Calamity.

The Martial Ancestor looked determined. He broke out into a smile and turned his head to look at his two wives, who were on the Spirit Demon Continent, and said, “Back then, you had no qualms about sacrificing your lives for me. Today, in order to protect you, I will not have any fear. I have told you before, I will never let you suffer or come to any harm as long as I am alive.”

The four Queens of the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Border, who were at the Spirit Demon Continent, seemed to have sensed what the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor were about to do, and their faces turned pale.

“Lin Dong, don’t do it!” Ying Huanhuan’s face turned pale, and her voice became sharp. She wanted to dash out, but she was stopped by Ling Qingzhu, who was standing beside her. Ling Qingzhu grabbed hold of Ying Huanhuan’s arm, and her eyes looked red.

“If you go over, you will only distract them and be a burden to them.” Ling Qingzhu bit her lips and said softly, “Given their strength, if they have been forced to take that step, we won’t be able to do anything about it. At the most, we will follow him after that. However, before we do so, it will be better if we can kill a few people from the Extraterritorial Race and take them along with us!” After Ling Qingzhu had made that statement, she was already filled with immense killing intent.

Ying Huanhuan stopped moving forward, and her face turned cold. A horrifying chill emanated from her body, and her eyes were like dark ice as she fixed her gaze on the Heavenly Evil Deity.

Xiao Xun’er’s face turned pale as well. She looked at Cai Lin, whose body was trembling, and gently grabbed her hand and said, “Sister Cai Lin, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Lin still need you to take care of them.”

Cai Lin squeezed Xiao Xun’er’s hand and said, “Xun’er, you must not be so selfish. If you want to go with him, we shall do it together.”

When Xiao Xun’er heard that Cai Lin sounded so insistent, she smiled wryly.

When the Heavenly Evil Deity sensed the aura emanating from the bodies of the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, the tenth eye on his glabella flashed, and he said, “Oh? Are you trying to follow in the footsteps of the Immortal Emperor to burn me and yourselves together? This time around, I will not give you the opportunity to do so.”

The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor said flatly, “We will have to give it a try before you know if we are able to do so.” Having said that, they stepped forth. However, at that moment, a pair of hands stretched out and grabbed their arms. The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were shocked. They tilted their heads and looked behind them and said, “Mu Chen?”

Mu Chen pursed his lips, and he looked at the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor and said softly, “Elders, I admire your readiness to sacrifice yourselves, but I don’t think we have to resort to that.”

The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor looked at each other and looked baffled. When they had exchanged blows with the Heavenly Evil Deity earlier, they already knew the power of his tenth eye. Other than burning themselves up together with him, they could not think of any better solution.

“Do you have an alternative?” the Flame Emperor asked, as he did not think that Mu Chen had a better way to deal with the Heavenly Evil Deity.

After Mu Chen kept silent for a while, he replied, “I think we can give it a try.”

The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor were shocked. Although they found it hard to believe that Mu Chen had a way to deal with the Heavenly Evil Deity, they trusted him. They then nodded. “All right. Go ahead and try. If your method does not work, we will fight it out with the Heavenly Evil Deity.”

Mu Chen took a deep breath and nodded. He said in a deep voice, “If you have to resort to that, I will definitely do it with you.” Having said that, Mu Chen slowly shut his eyes. After a while, a mysterious screen came down from the sky and entered the Lower Planes.

“The Heaven’s Declaration?” The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor were stunned when they saw the familiar screen. However, they had no idea why Mu Chen had activated the Heaven’s Declaration at that moment. Is he trying to leave his full name on the Heaven’s Declaration? How is this possible?

The people in the Great Thousand World looked at the scene and felt baffled as well. However, Mu Chen ignored everyone’s looks. The Mu Chen in the black robe and the Mu Chen in the white robe came and stood beside him. The three Mu Chens shut their eyes and did not move.

Many people were puzzled by what Mu Chen was doing.

“Hoho! Young man, what trick are you up to at a moment like this? Given your strength, you still need some time in order for you to leave your full name on the Heaven’s Declaration!” The Heavenly Evil Deity sneered.

However, Mu Chen ignored the Heavenly Evil Deity’s mockery. After waiting for some time, Mu Chen finally opened his eyes. He looked as though a burden had been lifted off of his shoulders, and he muttered, “They are finally here.”

“Who is here?” the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor asked, looking confused.

Roar! Chirp!

The moment they asked the question, the loud cry of a dragon and a phoenix resounded in the area. Following that, everyone saw two golden lights coming down from the heavens, and then they dashed into the Lower Planes. Within the golden lights were a huge golden dragon and a huge golden phoenix.

When the golden dragon and golden phoenix landed in the Lower Planes, they turned into two golden figures. When the people saw the faces of the two golden figures, they were taken aback. The two golden figures looked exactly the same as Mu Chen!

The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor squinted, and they were shocked. They noticed that the Mu Chens that were formed by the golden dragon and the golden phoenix possessed the same fluctuations as Mu Chen. Apparently, there would be two more people to be listed on the Heaven’s Declaration!

“This... how is this possible!?”

When Mu Chen saw the two Mu Chens in a golden dragon robe and a golden phoenix robe, respectively, he smiled. Back then, when he was at the Dragon-Phoenix Rift, he had obtained the Dragon-Phoenix Scripture and had used his bloodline to groom the Spirit of the Real Dragon and the Spirit of the Real Phoenix. To a certain extent, the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix could live because of Mu Chen, and they were considered to be part of him.

Thus, when Mu Chen reached the Completion Tri-God Level, he had not only transformed his two replicas, but at the same time, he had grabbed hold of the opportunity to separate the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix from him so that they could be independent.

The Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix had also broken out of their own shackles back then and transformed. They became independent and had headed toward the Divine Beasts Continent to work on their cultivation.

In actual fact, when Mu Chen cut the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix away from him, there were changes being made to his Qi into Trinity. The master who had founded the Super Power Art had never expected the Qi into Trinity to turn into five people instead of three...

Ultimately, it was due to Mu Chen’s unique situation that he was able to make it five. He was able to use his own Blood Essence to help the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix grow and possess the same willpower that he had.

After a long while, the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor came back to themselves, and they sighed within their hearts. Even with the two additional replicas, Mu Chen might not be able to leave his full name on the Heaven’s Declaration.

“Thank you for coming.” Mu Chen looked at the two Mu Chens in the golden dragon robe and the golden phoenix robe and smiled.

The Mu Chen in the black robe and the Mu Chen in the white robe asked, “Have you succeeded?”

“We have managed to do so just before this.” When the Mu Chens in the golden dragon robe and the golden phoenix robe heard the question, they smiled and nodded. They then formed a seal with their hands. At that instant, vast Spiritual Light gathered behind them, and ancient fluctuations emanated from the Spiritual Light. The people then saw two ancient figures slowly appearing in the Spiritual Light behind them. The fluctuations were similar to those of a Primitive Celestial Body!

“Those are...” The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor were shocked when they saw it.

Qin Tian and all the top powers widened their eyes in amazement. They shouted out, saying, “Those two are the Primitive Celestial Bodies, the Ancient Body of the Night Deity and the Desolate Ancestor Body!”

Maha Tian was shocked and found it unbelievable. He then looked at Clan Leader Hei Tian and Clan Leader Huang Qiu and asked, “When did you give the two Primitive Celestial Bodies to him?”

Clan Leader Hei Tian and Clan Leader Huang Qiu looked at each other and smiled wryly. They then replied, “A few years back, Mu Chen came in the night and borrowed the Primitive Celestial Bodies from us. However, he told us to keep it a secret for the time being, as he did not have absolute confidence in cultivating them.”

All of them were shocked when they heard what Clan Leader Hei Tian and Clan Leader Huang Qiu had said. They became excited again. Mu Chen had secretly cultivated the Ancient Body of the Night Deity and the Desolate Ancestor Body, and he had brought hope to them again. With the help of the five Primitive Celestial Bodies, Mu Chen might have the opportunity to leave his full name on the Heaven’s Declaration.

“He is amazing.”

The Flame Emperor and the Martial Emperor were impressed by Mu Chen. No one would have expected Mu Chen to come up with four replicas instead of two! Most importantly, he had successfully cultivated all five Primitive Celestial Bodies, which no one in the Great Thousand World had ever done.

The five Mu Chens lifted up their heads at the same time and looked at the mysterious Heaven’s Declaration. “Now, we shall try to leave our full name on the Heaven’s Declaration. Let’s see if we will be the first person in the Great Thousand World to do so...”
