Great Demon Sun Wukong

With a somewhat bitter nod, the Spirit Controller felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation, and he was also feeling some regret. If he had chosen to enhance himself in the beginning, he would at least be at the Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade, or even possibly reached the Heavenly Venerate's Peak like other Law Enforcers. If he had the power of the Heavenly Venerate's Peak, how could he have fallen to such a low? However, upon further thought, if he truly were at the Heavenly Venerate's Peak, then he wouldn't have any chance to become the sole supreme of this universe. Although now humiliated, he still had a glimmer of opportunity.

Yi Xuan seemed quite satisfied with the Spirit Controller's attitude, and after agreeing to the second condition, Yi Xuan spoke again, "The third condition is that you lift the Heavenly Dao restrictions on everyone present. I believe you can do that, right?" Just as Yi Xuan finished her statement, the Spirit Controller, who had been in a rather good mood until now, suddenly exclaimed in anger, "Impossible, this absolutely cannot be done." As soon as the words left the Spirit Controller's mouth, his vision blurred, and two figures had already appeared in front of him, with two World Suppressing Steles smashing down onto his shoulders on both sides.

These sudden apparitions were none other than Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing. Suppressed by the two World Suppressing Steles, the Spirit Controller could only feel a weight on his shoulders. His power was already halved by the Soul Locking and Spirit Confining Great Formation, and now he couldn't support himself and fell to his knees. Hei Kui then suddenly stepped forward, propped his hands, and a pitch-black gate appeared before the Spirit Controller, atop which four perpetual ghost head lanterns burned with black flames. As the gate silently opened, the Spirit Controller facing it was stunned, for through that gate, he saw a blood-red Evil Spirit Hell.

Of course, a mere Evil Spirit Hell wouldn't cause the Spirit Controller to lose his composure like this, but he knew all too well this was no ordinary hell. "How is this possible, how do you possess the ability to communicate with this world? Who on earth are you?" Hei Kui hadn't expected the Spirit Controller's reaction to be so intense, rendering his prepared threats unnecessary. Frustrated, he glanced at Sun Wukong and asked in a heavy voice, "Judging by your tone, it seems you know the fearsomeness of my Blood Prison quite well, Spirit Controller. Could it be that you don't even recognize me anymore? I should thank you for your great kindness in the past."

The Spirit Controller obviously recognized Hei Kui and the "great kindness" Hei Kui referred to left a bitter taste in his mouth. It seemed the wheel of fate and karmic retribution were indeed relentless. A being once trampled under his feet had not only gained the ability to communicate with that world but also the power to threaten him. Was he kind to Hei Kui? The answer was no. It was not kindness, but a deep and bloody vendetta.

Initially, Hei Kui was just an unremarkable member of the Zombie Clan, but ever since the Spirit Controller took control of the Patrolling Celestial World, he slaughtered the entire clan to create a trump card capable of destroying the Underworld God Army. In doing so, he turned the place where Hei Kui's clan lived into what is now known as the Domain of Death. It was during that massacre, under successive stimulations, Hei Kui's bloodline power was triggered, leading to his evolution into the Black Prison Sky-Rending Howl. However, the Spirit Controller later discovered that the Death Qi produced from slaughtering the entire Zombie Clan wasn't enough to destroy the Underworld God Army, so he abandoned the idea. But he still violently coerced Hei Kui to submit to him, hoping he might be useful if there ever came a need to destroy the Underworld God Army.

What the Spirit Controller didn't expect was that Hei Kui he spared had grown to such an extent. As for the so-called Blood Prison, it was not a Blood Prison at all, but rather the Life and Death Blood Realm of the Fallen Tomb, which was known to be an extremely ominous place within an already ominous land. Anyone who entered was more likely to die than live. The Fallen Tomb was already a fierce land in this universe, and the most fearsome place within such a fierce land – the Life and Death Blood Realm – was indescribably terrifying.

It was precisely because Hei Kui revealed this Blood Prison, the Life and Death Blood Realm as the Spirit Controller referred to it, that the Spirit Controller agreed to Yi Xuan's third condition without hesitation. If the Spirit Controller believed Yi Xuan wouldn't truly kill him, he had absolutely no confidence when it came to Hei Kui. Not just because of the hatred between him and Hei Kui, but also because of the Life and Death Blood Realm – that terrifying place where once thrown in, even if he died there, the other Law Enforcers wouldn't sense anything. And with over twenty thousand years still to go before someone else took over his duty of guarding the Patrolling Celestial World, by the time anyone noticed his disappearance, it would be too late.

Removing the Heavenly Dao restrictions on these few meant that when they advanced further in the future, they wouldn't be met with Heavenly Tribulations, and whether it was from Nine Patterns to Domain Lord or Domain Lord to Heavenly Venerate, as long as their power and realms were sufficient, it would be a matter of course, with no obstructions. However, to lift their Heavenly Dao restrictions wasn't difficult; he simply had to have each of them consume a bit of his Elixir Spirit Pill. There were nine in total, crafted by the Lord Pioneer himself in the alchemical furnace. The Lord Pioneer didn't create the Elixir Spirit Pills for them to become more human-like, but for breaking his own final barriers to reach the end of the Supreme Path. Only by reaching that endpoint would he truly become an Immortal and Indestructible eternal being, and even the Underworld Venerate would not be hard to eliminate.

However, after the creation of the elixir, the Pioneer found that even if he consumed all nine elixirs, it would still take a staggering nine hundred thousand years to refine and comprehend them to make a breakthrough to that ultimate end. Additionally, since the Elixir Spirit Pills gained spiritual wisdom upon formation, the Pioneer, after considerable contemplation, abandoned the plan to consume the Elixir Spirit Pills. In the end, he sacrificed himself to seal away the Underworld Venerate.

Therefore, the true form of the Elixir Spirit Pills, which the Law Enforcers possess, is the best elixir in the world for breaking through bottlenecks and advancing. And once they became Law Enforcers, they even gained the ability to communicate with cosmic laws, naturally enabling them to lift the Heavenly Dao's constraints on a few specific individuals, so that they would no longer be subject to any restrictions. Perhaps after doing so, these individuals would soon make their breakthroughs, but at least I would still be alive. As long as I am alive, that is enough.

"I agree, Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, Hei Kui, these three individuals—I will lift the constraints of Heavenly Dao from them. Now, I've agreed to all three conditions, so you should let me go, right?" Yi Xuan said with a sly smile, "Of course, that's no problem at all. As long as you lift the constraints on those three, I will naturally let you go. But there's one thing I'm not so sure about. What if, once I let you go, you suddenly change your mind?"

The Spirit Controller replied with some disdain, "The first two conditions do not harm me in any way, so I have no reason to go back on my word for a group of people who have nothing to do with me. Besides, you have some leverage over me, and I don't believe you wouldn't keep some evidence, so there's no need for you to worry about these concerns."

Yi Xuan nodded and said, "You're right. If you go back on your word, I will let the other Law Enforcers know of your actions today. But, well, there is one last matter I need your help with." As Yi Xuan finished speaking, the Spirit Controller's eyes had already turned blood-red, and he said in a low voice, "Do not push your luck. These three conditions are already the extent of what I can do. Don't force me into a situation where we both lose everything."

Yi Xuan hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. This last matter is very simple. I have heard that there's been some issues with Sun Wukong's piece of Wasteland Soil Stele. I'd like to ask, how can this issue be resolved? You wouldn't really want the Wasteland Soil Stele to go out of control, would you? Plus, you've been observing it for so long; I believe you must have some insights by now."

The moment Yi Xuan spoke, the Spirit Controller could no longer hide his shocked expression and exclaimed, "You know about this too? How much else does your Crimson Army know?"

Yi Xuan chuckled and said, "Not much, not much, just that you plan to upgrade this particular universe. And with the loss of Lord Pioneer's physical body, you're preparing for the resurrection of the Underworld Venerate, while also eyeing the Seal Stones. This Wasteland Soil Stele is your experimental subject, am I right? However, in the end, you discovered that even the power of a Heavenly Venerate's Peak is insignificant in front of what is sealed within these Seal Stones. Just one Wasteland Soil Stele is giving you enough headaches, and if all nine pieces were to assemble and the seal were to be broken, you would be completely unable to control it. This is not what we want to see, so I hope... to repair the cracks in the Wasteland Soil Stele!"
