Hua Yin asked:

"What do you mean you need me?"

Clarke replied:

"The truth is,terrible things are happening in the Gothic Kingdom. Those from the Higher Realm want to destroy the world."

"I mean our world,not theirs."

"What I'm saying is,we must stop the Devil before he destroys us all!!!"

Tai Fei inquired:

"Are you saying they've begun to move against us???"

"Yes. Right now, the truth is, they know everything about us, and now they will fight us in earnest."

"As you know,the 'Sword of Stars' – that is the reincarnation of the Star Constellation."

"He tried to kill me."

"Through his scheme,he forced me to temper my strength inside a cave filled with 'Immortal Zombies'."

"And also a'Demonic Zombie with Eight Arms'."

Hua Yin screamed in terror:

"What are you saying?!You faced the 'Terrifying Eight-Armed King'?!"

"Yes, I know it's extremely difficult, almost impossible, for anyone to cultivate such power."

"But what I witnessed that day was terrifying strength."

"At that moment,they did nothing to me."

"But they initiated contact.The one who contacted them was 'Jin'."

"He sent a demon with an immortal body and other cultivators from the Demonic Path after me."

"I overcame them with difficulty,and even so, I emerged with a severe injury to my cultivation foundation."

"But the'Buddhist Root' completely solved my problem."

Tai Fei responded:

"That's truly unfortunate.The ease with which they monitor the mortal and immortal realms is staggering."

"Although they lost the'Chasm of Destiny', it allowed them to observe the mortal world."

"And also link the mortal world to the immortal world."

"So their control became widespread."

"Moreover,shattering the 'Chasm of Destiny' is extremely difficult, and the method remains unknown, even to me."

"But what we do know is that the'Chasm of Destiny' is affected by Emotions!!!"

Clarke shouted loudly:

"What?!"

Tai Fei continued:

"You heard me.That man... what caused his death, their pursuit of him, and the dispatch of the 'Three Tyrants'..."

"...was due to his unique ability.It took the form of ten scrolls of poetry, but their power was utterly terrifying."

"It damaged the'Chasm of Destiny', causing a horrific breach in the laws of the universe."

"In the past,death was inevitable for humans and all beings."

"But a few people succeeded in breaking that inevitability.After all, we weren't free. And I, as a 'Venerable Devil', disliked that."

"So,through the 'Path of Soul', I managed to drain the souls of humans."

"And through that draining,I was able to remain between the world of the living and the dead."

Clarke was stunned and horrified. Does such a tyrannical method truly exist?! This man destroyed the very laws themselves! Isn't that immortality in its own right?

To remain between the living and the dead?

But wait!If he were immortal, why was he exiled? Clarke asked in amazement:

"If what you say is true,then how is your body not dead? Or how could the Immortal Realm even displace you???"

Tai Fei replied. He was truly a Venerable, his appearance majestic with a murderous aura.

"As for my body,I possess an extreme physique. I have tampered with this body of mine over and over again."

"Thus,I managed to excel in many Paths."

"My greatest strength lies not only in the'Path of Darkness' but also in the 'Path of Soul'."

"There are many Paths,and my comprehension in all of them is at half-step to the 'Sage Ruler', except for the 'Path of Emotions'."

"As for the reason they exiled me,I disrupted the balance of their world. Because I, the 'Spectral King', took control of a mountain called 'Lao Bu'."

"A rumor persisted on that mountain,claiming that souls go there at the moment of their death."

"People didn't believe it,but I did."

"I was in my old age."

"But let me tell you this:No one dared to fight me. Even if the 'Three Tyrants' and the 'Ten Venerables' gathered, and the 'Dragon Clan Patriarch' wished to face me, they would fail."

"After all,I am the 'Spectral Venerable'."

"Souls were in my hands,and they were my sustenance."

"As soon as I went there,I nourished my power with souls, extending my lifespan somewhat."

"At that moment,even though I was a Venerable, I realized death was inescapable except for one thing: 'True Immortality'."

"At that moment,I rebelled against the world."

"I killed a monstrous number,to the point I lost count, for one reason alone."

"My goal was to temper the'Hexa Heavenly Dao Body'."

"The great Paths are titled with six names:"

"-'Path of Life'"

"-'Path of Darkness'"

"-'Path of Soul'"

"-'Path of Qi'"

"-'Path of Death'"

"-and finally, the 'Path of Emotions'!!!"

"Do not underestimate the'Path of Emotions'. I failed in that Path and did not succeed in gaining Immortality."

"Instead,my body was damaged and could no longer withstand displaying my true power."

"But my soul remained at its great strength."

"At that moment,during my tempering, I was attacked."

"Their ultimate weapon was truly horrifying."

"It was called the'Will of Death'!!!"

Clarke, shocked, asked:

"So...did it succeed in affecting you?!!"

Tai Fei replied:

"Yes.It caused a conflict within my Dao Marks, resulting in the death of my physical body."

Clarke asked:

"What?Marks???"

Tai Fei laughed:

"You forget you are mortal!Amazingly, you possess Comprehension in the Path of Darkness. As I told you, there are Paths, and they produce arts or extreme techniques."

"And you possess Comprehension in the'Path of Darkness'. Not only that, you excelled and created your own technique."

"There are several classifications for Comprehension,which measure strength in the Higher Immortal Realm:"

"1.Empty Comprehension"

"2.Quasi-Empty Comprehension"

"3.Advanced Comprehension"

"4.Lord Comprehension"

"5.Master Comprehension"

"6.Great Lord Comprehension"

"7.Royal Comprehension"

"8.Saint Comprehension"

"9.Venerable Comprehension"

"But'Venerable' was not the end. After 'Venerable', there was more, specifically two more stages. This doesn't negate the power of 'Venerable Comprehension'."

"They are:"

"10.Half-Step to Sage Ruler Comprehension"

"11.Sage Ruler Comprehension (Guardian of the Sanctuary)"

"These are the highest achievable levels in Comprehension and power."

"And the great one before you has approached the peak of the'Path of Soul' and the 'Path of Death'!!!"

Clarke was terrified:

"You mean you were close to becoming a'Sage Ruler'? But what stopped you after all that???"

Tai Fei sighed:

"As I told you,I reached 'Venerable Comprehension' in most Paths and was known as the most terrifying being under and above the heavens."

"I was titled the'Tyrant Venerable, the Spectral King'."

"I became the nightmare of every immortal cultivator in the Higher Realm."

"But despite all those descriptions and the awe-inspiring power I was known for,I was being watched, as I mentioned before."

"At the moment I failed in tempering my'Hexa Heavenly Dao Body', my numerous Dao Marks and Paths were in conflict due to tempering the 'Emotions'."

"I was at my weakest."

"My body became frail,but despite that, my soul did not scatter."

"At that moment,a massive and immense light appeared. I didn't understand it."

"But since I was an expert in the'Path of Death', I knew that beam was imbued with the energy of 'Inevitable Death'. True Immortality prevents the energy of 'Inevitable Death' from affecting you."

"But,as I mentioned, my soul was outside the range of that beam, so it managed to kill my body."

"My soul exited,leaking Death energy."

"At that moment,I was enraged."

"So I used my ultimate technique,inspired when I became a 'Venerable'. I named it 'Soul Diaspora'."

"My soul leaked into several places."

"No one knew."

"But I was present almost everywhere,to the extent I lost track of my clones."

"The heavens were tainted by the power of Death."

"And at that time,the 'Path of Transformation' appeared, and one of its techniques was 'Transformation into a Zombie'."

"Because after over a million years,I managed to gather my soul."

"I had gone insane."

"Imagine your soul remaining between life and death,constantly devouring souls over and over again. My Comprehension increased, the knowledge flooded my head, I felt the resentment of mankind... I couldn't release the souls because the core of my body, before its death, was suppressing the floodgates of souls."

"And after a long time...at that moment, my plan succeeded!!!"

"I succeeded in reclaiming my body!In the end, I didn't use my ultimate technique 'Soul Diaspora' recklessly."

"Thanks to it,I was able to plant my soul in a large number of bodies."

"My will resided in my numerous souls."

"One of my clones possessed a powerful body and terrifying strength."

"He managed to gather my scattered body parts and revive me."

"And that very moment was my return.I recovered my soul completely."

"The scattered parts gathered.My clones converged at my personal mountain, 'Lao Bu', 'Mountain of the Devil King'."

"I devoured those souls,estimated at a million souls. A million living humans. Perhaps I am a murderer."

"But in the end,they belonged to me. At that moment, I swore I would never suffer again, and this world would not be spared from me once more."

"After all,no one has suffered like I have!!!!"

Clarke didn't feel that Tai Fei was wrong or anything of the sort.

But Hua Yin was terrified by what she heard,or in truth, she couldn't believe it. She thought what she was hearing was mere unbelievable heresy.

It wasn't out of stupidity or anything,but we humans reject the truth before our eyes.

But Clarke's perspective was completely different.

The pain Tai Fei suffered only increased his malice.

What Tai Fei lived through was a struggle before the gates of death.

Who among us hasn't struggled before the gates of death?!!

If someone sees his actions as devilish,that's another matter entirely. Tai Fei never found peace; he was isolated from both life and death.

That is harder than anything else.A truly killer prison!!!

Truly pitiable.That was Tai Fei's view.

After devouring all those souls and regaining his great soul,his soul became completely tainted, and his mind was polluted too.

He was completely insane.

But he retained some reason.

What he promised,the entire Immortal World would bear.

Pointing to the sky,with murderous intent. All inhabitants of the Immortal World felt it, especially his sworn enemies whom he hadn't named to Clarke: the 'Guardians of Destiny', the 'Lords of Heaven who bore many titles, they were the ones who decreed the laws'. They were all terrified. They were like chickens awaiting slaughter. But what Tai Fei said was the most terrifying. The 'Spectral Venerable' said:

"From now on,I will show no mercy. My suffering and struggle before death shall be endured by everyone, be they child, elder, or woman."

"All of them shall taste the bitterness of struggling before death."

"And perhaps they won't even get to taste it,for those who have never suffered before death, not even I originally... but this time it's different! I know you are watching me, so witness my words: You WILL experience the bitterness of struggle!!!"

After that new birth of Tai Fei, what happened was:

Kill!!!

Kill!!!

Kill!!!
