Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!-Chapter 677 - 617 The Source of Disaster_1
Above the Imperial Court.
The bell tolls distantly.
"Why... why has an Emperor returned? This is impossible!"
A Venerable, radiating with purple light, was thrown into complete disarray!
"Who has disregarded the Venerable’s oath? In an era where the Emperors are absent, Venerables of such rank shall never actively recall those Emperors..."
A Sword Venerable, wielding a Jade Sword, looked terribly upset!
"Is this going to destroy the existing order of the Yang Realm? If such a being returns… What shall become of us, of all of us?"
An elderly Venerable in a blue robe was even more panic-stricken!
The five imperial thrones, the five Venerables, none could remain seated any longer!
"After the complete disappearance of the Emperors, the Six Realms’ Venerables vowed to not think, not recall, thus preventing the Emperors from coming back to the Yang Realm... Now, someone must have broken the taboo!"
Eventually, among the five Venerables, one wearing an Imperial Crown slowly began to speak.
He was the leader among the five Venerables!
"Venerable Jingdao… according to you, what should be done now?" Your journey continues with novelbuddy
The Purple Robed Venerable, in great haste, said, "If the Emperor returns… we, I fear we may face great disaster!"
"Yes, those Emperors, when they departed, left their venerable names to be recited by us all the time, but we… instead..."
"The return of the Emperor is worse than tracking down our great mistakes!"
The other Venerables also spoke out in fear.
Perhaps those Emperors, when they left the Yang Realm, had already foreseen the difficulty ahead, so they left behind divine commands, ordering the Controllers of the Heavenly Court to recite their names at all times.
But as countless epochs passed...
The Venerables of the world not only stopped reciting the names of the Emperors but even formed a Venerable’s oath.
Never to actively recall!
They sought the chance to become Emperors, committing many actions against the ancestral teachings of the Heavenly Court.
If those former Emperors of the Heavenly Court returned, heaven knows what their fate would be...
"Remember, the Imperial Bell of the Heavenly Court was left by the First Sun God Emperor."
"The First God Emperor forbade anyone from entering that Broken Lost Land, and he left this Bell to suppress those who dared to venture there and sought to return!"

Venerable Jingdao slowly spoke out, recounting the history of the Emperor Bell.
The First God Emperor, who was the oldest God Emperor in the Yang Realm.
But after the Calamity Epoch, the old God Emperor disappeared from the Imperial Court at an unknown time, leaving behind the teachings of the First God Emperor, forbidding his descendants from venturing into the Lost Realm.
If they entered, they could not return, and even left the Emperor Bell for monitoring.
However, just as these Venerables did not abide by the command to recite the names of the Emperors, the Emperors following the First God Emperor… did not heed the divine decree of their predecessor.
More than one stepped into that Broken Lost Land.
"The ringing of the Emperor Bell... only means that an Emperor, recalling this place, is returning."
Venerable Jingdao spoke:
"They have left the Yang Realm, perhaps separated by boundless space and time, or maybe it will take several epochs for them to return..."
"And, even if they draw near to the Yang Realm, the Emperor Bell should prevent them..."
"We still have time!"
"To become Emperor... only by becoming an Emperor can we contend with the returning Emperors!"
"At all costs, attain Samsara, become an Emperor, and we will fear nothing!"
In his words, there was madness written!
The other Venerables, too, were seriously nodding their heads!
This, was their only choice.
...
At this moment.
In the Yang Realm, within a desolate, faraway, and bitterly cold space,
darkness enveloped layer upon layer, like a place forever beyond the reach of mortals.
But amidst the deepest darkness, there loomed layers of white mist.
Amidst the mist, flickered a dim yellow flame.
Through the white mist, one could discern that, surprisingly, a stone coffin was enfolded within the many layers of mist.
The mist... was emanating from within the coffin.
And beside the stone coffin, an old man with a withered appearance leaned against the wall of the coffin, as if deep in slumber, a Bronze Ancient Lamp in his hands!
The old man seemed to have entered an eternal realm of death, never to awaken again.
Yet in a daze, as if a bell chimed faintly.
The old man half-consciously opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, he instinctively looked at his hands, and upon seeing the Bronze Ancient Lamp still burning, a difficult smile emerged on his lips.
"The Fire Seed is still here..."
Then, somewhat bewildered, "How many epochs have passed by now..."
However, upon hearing the bell tolling through his ears, he was startled, and he murmured:
"That Broken Land, after all this time, is no longer tranquil..."
"Is great disaster coming..."
He was silent for a very long time.
"The Pure Land created by the World-Honored One for the Yang Realm..."
"They entrusted the Fire Seed to me, to guard it, to protect the Yang Realm..."
"I have reached the end of my life, yet no trusted guardian to be found in the world... I could only carry the Fire Seed, hide here, and enter into slumber..."
The old man mumbled to himself, as if he was using his words to restart his brain that had slept for countless years.
"Whether it’s the Yang Realm being discovered or those God Emperors, who wouldn’t settle, returning from the Dead Soil of the Lost Realm... both spell the start of troubles!"
"As the First God Emperor... I cannot just sit idly by!"
He slowly stood up, his old body so hunched and frail!
A flickering flame at the end of his life yet he had to face a great disaster!
He placed the Fire Seed slowly on top of the stone coffin.
As he gazed at the eternal Fire Seed, tears flowed from his aged eyes.
"Yang Chu, powerless... can no longer protect the Fire Seed..."
He bowed deep before the Fire Seed, the coffin.
Then, he turned around, looking towards the direction from which the bell tolled.
"With this remaining life of mine... let’s give the last bit of strength for the effort of the World-Honored Ones!"
The old man left without looking back!
...
In the domain of Ghosts, Dead Soil, the Yellow Springs Land.
"Dead Dog, what are these ghosts muttering about..."
Wu Dade looked toward the Ghost Pupil Sovereign and Jiang Po in the skies above and asked.
But the Big Black Dog revealed a disdainful look in its eyes and said:
"A few ignorant little ghosts... so full of themselves, yet little do they know what trouble they’ve invited..."
In its eyes, it was as if it could see through everything.
And above in the Sky Domain, the Ghost Pupil Sovereign was already fixating his gaze on Big Black Dog and the others.
"So what if you have an Emperor behind you?!" he said.
He was wildly defiant, exuding the powerful authority of a Venerable.
At that moment, his confidence was boundless!
For he knew in his heart that the supreme Emperor of the Ghost Clan... must have returned, and the only reason he wasn’t showing himself was that he was plotting something big!
"You... all of you will die!"
The Ghost Pupil Venerable directly made his move against Big Black Dog and the others!
To eliminate these pawns of the Emperor and then force out the Reincarnation Great Emperor and other Emperors.
That way, he could contribute to the grand scheme of the Ghost Emperor!
—Of course, at this moment he had completely banished the Ghost Emperor from his thoughts. Just a moment ago in secrecy, he had implanted a thought in himself, and by acting on that thought, he wouldn’t need to think about the Ghost Emperor.
Endless Ghostly Aura swept over as if it was the Hell of No Interval that had engulfed Wan Ling, and it fell directly upon Big Black Dog and the others.
"Let’s fight!"
Lin Jiu Zheng raised his Peach Wood Sword, but he couldn’t even get close before he was swept away by a terrifying ghostly force and was flung out!
"Damn it..."
Wu Dade also smashed heavily to the ground.
Even Tian An and Ming Zhi’s soul bodies were distorted, almost crushed!
This was a fatal pressure.
Even Jiang Li, who suddenly turned around, wanted to attack with endless chess lines, but the chess lines were also annihilated, and he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood!
That boundless ghostly hell hadn’t even fallen yet!
They were just attempting to strike at that hell and were already injured.
They were no match at all.
This was the chasm of a great divide. Even though they possessed treasures and were each extraordinary and brilliantly talented, they were still...
Facing a Venerable from the Ghost Domain, one who was an invincible powerhouse in an era without Emperors!
Godmaster, Divine Monarch, Divine King... separated by countless major realms!
Chaotic Evil Ghost King, Nightfall Ghost Child, and others were trembling and prostrating on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads!
On the entire field, between heaven and earth, the only one who stood tall without taking a single step back was a dog... incredibly majestic to the extreme!
Big Black Dog looked at the incoming Ghost Qi Hell as if it was unfazed by the ripples.
"Big Black... kill him!"
Lin Jiu Zheng shouted loudly.
"Dead Dog, so majestic... Bite him, bite him to death!"
Wu Dade struggled to get up, his mouth stained with blood.
Jiang Li also said, "Big Black... Can you do it?"
But Big Black Dog remained as calm as ever, shaking its head and saying,
"Too small, the scope is too small!"
"A mere Ghost Venerable, what is he in front of me, the Emperor? He’s nothing but an ant in the dust, and I only need a single thought to kill him a million times!"
Hearing this, Wu Dade and the others were shocked. Had Big Black Dog become so strong?
"This little ghost is too weak, absurdly weak!"
Big Black Dog continued to speak,
"Even lifting my paw would be bullying him!"
Utter disdain.
Above in the Sky Domain, seeing this scene, the Ghost Pupil Venerable was furious.
He could tell that although this dog was still standing firm, it clearly had no more tricks up its sleeve, for its realm was still far beneath his!
And yet, it dared to act so pretentious, to belittle him.
"Even if you are from the Tiangou Great Emperor, today...I will make your soul scatter and fade away!"
The Ghost Pupil Venerable roared in anger, and the Ghost Qi Hell was about to fall on Big Black Dog’s head!
But Big Black Dog remained as steady as an old dog and said,
"Watch closely, I won’t even need to lift a finger to messily kill you!"
After saying this, Big Black Dog suddenly turned its head, glancing toward where the Nine-revolving Treasure Bamboo shoot was located, and said,
"Stop waiting, come out and fight!"
At its words, the black and white ground suddenly exploded violently!
In that area, a world-shaking presence burst forth.
A figure shot up from the ground, powerful to the extreme.
His aura... was not weaker than that of a Venerable.
In that instant, everyone couldn’t help but look over.
They saw a middle-aged man in that part of the Sky Domain, standing with his hands behind his back!
Majestic and heroic, wearing a long robe, his eyes, one black and one white, wrapped in Yin and Yang energies, with the breath of life and death evolving on his body!
Beneath his feet, mysterious black and white chess lines flickered in and out of existence, elevating him to the stature of the Nine Heavens God Venerable!
As if... he was the only one since ancient times, standing at the pinnacle of Yin and Yang, as if striding atop the cycles of Samsara, roaming freely through the gap between life and death!
Seemingly invincible in heaven and on earth.
His black and white eyes suddenly looked at the Ghost Pupil Venerable’s hellish world of death.
In that moment, the terrifying and heavenly Ghost Qi Hell that made countless ghosts bow in worship... completely collapsed, turning to smoke and vanishing!
It ceased to exist...
Everyone on the field was stunned!
"No... this... this is..."
"He... he was dead, wasn’t he..."
"How is this possible... he’s stronger than before..."
Countless powerful members of the Ghost Clan were speaking in terrified voices, looking at the figure in the sky as if witnessing a Master!
They all recognized this person!
"He once forged the City of Innocence, challenged the Dead Soil, and claimed he would remake the Ghost Domain... he didn’t die..."
Chaotic Evil Ghost King muttered, feeling a chill down his spine.
"Surviving from the dead season of Yellow Springs Land, he has become... a Venerable..."
Corpse Crow Ghost King was trembling even more!
And the Ghost Pupil Venerable, his huge pupils suddenly constricted, shouting,
"You... didn’t die?!"
"This is impossible!"
The entire Yellow Springs Land, the entire battlefield, seemed to go silent at the arrival of this man!
And Jiang Li looked up, his eyes filled with surprise!
...
Goodnight.
