Chapter 840 -745: Underworld Venerate and Pioneer’s Resurrection Plan

So, the inheritance that Xi Zhao received was merely the power of the Underworld Venerate’s body. In fact, back in the day, both the Pioneer and the Underworld Venerate were just at the Heavenly Venerate’s Peak realm. However, because of their grand conspiracy, they both touched upon Eternity. So, even though they were only at the Heavenly Venerate’s Peak, both their combat power and their Divine Skills, as well as their comprehension of the Dao, far surpassed the current Heavenly Venerate’s Peak.

Therefore, despite only acquiring the physical strength of the Underworld Venerate, Xi Zhao still attained a power far surpassing the current Heavenly Venerate’s Peak. The Underworld God Transformation began to remodel Xi Zhao’s body once he fully unleashed the inherited power. Though his external form did not change, his muscles, bones, and blood were completely rejuvenated. Most noticeably, two curved, pitch-black horns, covered with mysterious markings, grew from his forehead. In every aspect except appearance and stature, Xi Zhao had essentially become the second Underworld Venerate.

“Is this the power of the Underworld Venerate? It really is formidable.” Staring at his own hands, Xi Zhao could hardly believe the immense difference between himself and the Underworld Venerate, even though both were at the Heavenly Venerate’s Peak. As Xi Zhao finished the Underworld God Transformation, the Six-Eared Macaque, on the other side, suddenly froze. Then, within his body, a mysterious power began to awaken slowly, triggered by the aura released by Xi Zhao’s transformation, leading the Six-Eared Macaque to enter the Armorization State involuntarily.

The transformation of the Six-Eared Macaque suppressed the awakening power inside him, but only temporarily. As Xi Zhao began using the Underworld Venerate’s physical strength, something sealed within the Six-Eared Macaque’s body started to struggle violently. The Six-Eared Macaque began to bleed from his seven orifices due to the wild collisions between the awakening power and the Armor Seal. When the altar found by the Crimson Army was activated, the sealed entity within it flew away but was captured by a person in red robes before it could get far.

The red-robed person traveled across vast distances to the Pangu Realm and sealed the entity within the Six-Eared Macaque’s body. At this point, it should be clear that the entity sealed inside the Six-Eared Macaque is none other than the true soul of the Underworld Venerate. Therefore, during the Six Kingdoms War, the intense emotional fluctuations of the Six-Eared Macaque unwittingly triggered the seal, causing the Underworld Venerate’s soul to leak out. This, in turn, attracted the red-robed person, whose identity remains unknown.

Now, driven by the power of Xi Zhao’s Underworld God Transformation, the Underworld Venerate’s soul within the Six-Eared Macaque began to frantically assault the seal. This was part of the Underworld Venerate’s plan all along. After orchestrating the grand conspiracy with the Pioneer, the unfair distribution of spoils led to a great battle between them. However, the Pioneer was prepared and hid the spoils at the beginning of the battle. The actual contention in their prolonged battle was over this hidden item. Eventually, both realized a startling fact — there was a third person between them.

Their once good relationship was torn apart by this third person’s manipulative actions, leading to the catastrophic war that engulfed the universe. By the time they discovered traces of this third person, it was too late. The war had gone on for so long, with deep-seated enmities already forged, that declaring the battle a misunderstanding and calling for peace was impossible.

Upon realizing this, they began investigating further and unearthed even more shocking facts about the third person’s motives. They finally understood their mistake but also realized time was running short. If they continued fighting, they would only end up destroying each other, while the third person would benefit the most.

Thus, they both started making arrangements. They sought to end the unnecessary war, prevent the third person from achieving their goals, and each aimed to claim the spoils. However, the Pioneer, knowing where it was, dared not retrieve or absorb it, fearing immediate detection by the third person. Therefore, he planned his death in secrecy, hoping to lower the third person’s guard and then, through a stealthy resurrection, claim the spoils and become the sole Eternal being of the universe, impervious to any threats.

Similarly, the Underworld Venerate had a simpler but similar plan. Since he didn’t know where the spoils were hidden, his resurrection depended on precise calculations and arrangements to occur when the spoils were found, ensuring his victory in the three-way struggle.

The Pioneer’s plan involved dying in seclusion. After an Ancient Times battle, he secretly died, separating his soul and body. The Crimson Army guarded his body with nine Elixirs, while his soul underwent further division. His soul, essence, and spirit were split; his essence was placed with his pet, the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, whose evolutionary power kept it active. His soul and spirit were fused and given to the Crimson Army’s Ziling, retaining his memory and consciousness. If his soul and spirit could adapt to being active without the essence, his resurrection plan could begin.

The Underworld Venerate’s resurrection was simpler. During the Ancient Times war, his side was at a disadvantage, so he staged his defeat, purchasing the Pioneer’s nine Elixirs, now nine Law Enforcers. He arranged for them to kill him in the final battle, but not truly, allowing him to fake his death and implement his resurrection plan.

His method of resurrection involved inheritance. He split his physical and soul powers, passing them to different individuals. These individuals, drawn by fate, would unite when the spoils emerged, resurrecting him. The soul inheritor would gradually shed the essence, making their soul easier to merge with the spoils, achieving Eternity.

Nonetheless, both their plans failed, undermined by the third person and human nature. After their deaths, the universe changed. The nine Elixirs became ambitious rulers, seeking to control the universe eternally, while the Crimson Army vowed to safeguard its peace fervently. Part of the Underworld God Army was subjugated by the Law Enforcers, and another part sought tirelessly to resurrect the Underworld Venerate. Meanwhile, others established numerous Divine Kingdoms and High-Level Worlds, avoiding further conflict.

Therefore, to this day, both the Pioneer and the Underworld Venerate remain un-resurrected. (To be continued.
