Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-1943

“What is this?”

The various heavenly deities of the hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms all had looks of shock and worry on their faces. The entire sky was covered in greyish dark qi, and the covered up sky seemed to have transformed into the scene of a world.

After they were puzzled, the scene started to change. It showed the start of the world. Living creatures appeared there, the world was beautiful but all of a sudden, a heavenly deity descended from the sky and completely annihilated all living things in that world. The heaven and earth sobbed, it was unknown how many had died. Every single life was massacred. The scene caused everyone here to feel extremely suppressed.

“This is…?” Someone seemed to have thought of something as his heart trembled.

Just as the sound of his voice rang out, a black-colored figure walked out from the scene showing the world. After that, a second, a third…many black figures walked out from the scene of deathly stillness. Their eyes were vacant, like that of a corpse. They weren’t living things, they were like an army of death spirits.

“It is him!” A voice filled with immense shock rang out. Even heavenly deities couldn’t help but to take a step back. From this, one could tell how strong the shock in their hearts was.

“He has returned. But why did he appear in the boundless sea region, below the Heaven Vault?” They couldn’t understand.

At the boundless shore, countless people exchanged glances. Some people seemed to have guessed at something. Their expressions drastically changed as they spoke in fear, “How can this be possible?”

“Who?” Some of the younger experts didn’t understand what was going on. They didn’t know who has appeared.

“The Grim Reaper.” An ancient voice rang out with a solemn tone, stating two words. These two words represented a taboo existence in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Almost no one has brought the name up ever before. This name only existed in the ancient records.

“I once heard my ancestor saying that the Grim Reaper leads an army of death spirits. The army of death killed their way into the various hegemonic powers, it was unknown how many experts had died due to that.” That old man trembled as he recalled the ancient legends he heard before.

“Who is the Grim Reaper?” Some among the crowd has never heard of this name before.

“He is someone from Ancient Azure Mystic. Countless years ago, Ancient Azure Mystic was invaded by us and ended in destruction. The Grim Reaper is one of the peak characters there, by himself, he killed his way into the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms for revenge and it’s rumored that now in the current age, the forbidden order on Azure Mystic Immortal Realms has something to do with the Grim Reaper.” The old man’s words caused the hearts of countless people at the boundless shore to tremble. To many of the experts here, this was the first time they heard this name.

They inclined their heads and stared at the scene in the sky. Was the expert who just arrived really that legendary existence that killed his way into the hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms? Would he appear again?

Those hegemonic powers naturally knew more things compared to ordinary people. They already knew the identity of this person who came. Right now, their hearts were in turmoil.

Grim Reaper. Why did he appear here? Why did he choose this timing, when they were about to deal with Qin Wentian, to appear?

Could it be because of….the western world?

“Are you the Grim Reaper?” Qin Zheng stared at the sky and asked.

There was no reply. The sky was covered in darkness. At this moment, all the experts here no longer had the mood to deal with Qin Wentian.

In the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, Qin Wentian stood at the location where the sea and the sky connected as one as he stared up into the air. When he heard Qin Zheng’s words, his heart also involuntarily shuddered.

The Grim Reaper, is it him?

Back then when he returned to Azure Mystic, his divine sense swept the entire immortal realm but he couldn’t find that crazy old man.

“Are you the one who used Azure Mystic to threaten Qin Wentian back then?” At this moment, a voice rang out from the world of darkness. This caused Qin Zheng’s heart to tremble. Back then when everyone surrounded the Heaven Vault, the Ox Chieftain had suggested for him to use the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms and Qingcheng Realm to threaten Qin Wentian. Who could have thought that the Grim Reaper actually knew about this.

At that time, Qin Zheng basically didn’t imagine that the Grim Reaper who has disappeared for countless years, was actually still present and paying attention to the situation of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Maybe, the Grim Reaper has been in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms all this while.

Back then, the ban on Ancient Azure Mystic was lifted. It might have been him who sent out the news.

“Back then, it was because of the Heaven Vault and I was forced to do so. But I wouldn’t really carry it out.” Qin Zheng replied. Right now, the Qin Clan couldn’t be compared to the past. His father Qin Ding was banished into chaotic space. Hence, now that he was speaking, he was no longer as confident as before. In front of the Grim Reaper, he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit arrogant or brazen.

“Since you wouldn’t really carry it out, just scram then. Qin Wentian is the successor of Ancient Azure Mystic.” The voice rang out once more. Qin Zheng’s heart trembled madly. The experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were stunned too. Qin Wentian was known as the Heaven Empyrean in Azure Mystic, this was something many people knew about. But he was also the successor of Ancient Azure Mystic?

How many identities did he have? The son of Qin Yuanfeng of the Qin Clan, Luoshen Chuan’s grandson, the inheritor of the Heaven Vault, the person who entered the true legendary place in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy…and now, he was also the successor of Ancient Azure Mystic. Even a legendary character like the Grim Reaper was willing to make an appearance for him.

The western world convinced the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden to pull out. The sacred academy also didn’t appear. The ending today initially already seemed to be fixed. But at this moment, an extremely terrifying character had actually appeared – the Grim Reaper.

Although no one knew how strong Headmaster Ye of the sacred academy was exactly, and how strong the Grim Reaper was exactly, but after all, Headmaster Ye has never threatened the lives of the heavenly deities from the various hegemonic powers before. He was like a neutral party who simply chose to aid Qin Wentian that time. However, the Grim Reaper was different. He was infamous ever since countless years ago. From the perspective of everyone, the amount of threat he represented far surpassed the headmaster of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.

“It is really him.” Qin Wentian inclined his head, feeling extremely taken aback. He didn’t expect his conjecture to be true. That crazy old freak was actually none other than the Grim Reaper that struck fear in the hearts of the hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Other than that crazy old freak, Qin Wentian truly couldn’t think of anyone else.

“It’s him.” In Qin Wentian’s mind, the voice of the Skybreak Heavenly Deity rang out. His voice was filled with countless emotions. He was just a remnant will right now, he didn’t expect that he would still have the chance to encounter the Grim Reaper.

Qin Wentian must have received his inheritance. At the very least, the ancient heavenly deities of Ancient Azure Mystic wouldn’t feel that their efforts were wasted. In any case, Qin Wentian didn’t let them down either. His speed of progress was simply stunning and he was still growing stronger.

“This is the idea of the western world.” At this moment, a young heavenly deity spoke. But as the sound of his voice faded, everyone turned their gazes at him, they all had strange looks on their faces.

“Shut up.” A heavenly deity beside him transmitted his voice over. But as the sound of the young deity faded away, that terrifying stifling pressure instantly bore down on him. That young heavenly deity felt like a pair of eyes looking at him, emitting an icy chill.

“Scram.” A single word echoed, incomparably cold. All the heavenly deities exchanged mutual glances but no one dared to say anything in rebuttal. They hesitated for a moment and some of the heavenly deities stated, “Farewell.”

After speaking, they actually turned and departed right away.

After that, more and more deities from several hegemonic powers left. The appearance of the Grim Reaper has screwed up their plans. Wanting to continue to act against Qin Wentian? It was most probably impossible. No one wanted to take that risk.

Even despite the passage of countless years, the infamous name of the Grim Reaper was still enough to strike terror in the hearts of everyone.

At the boundless shore, countless people watched as the experts from the various hegemonic powers left just like that. They came in such an imposing manner yet left like defeated dogs. All of the spectators felt immensely shocked. Was the Grim Reaper really so powerful? What sort of existence was he?

Also, wanting Qin Wentian to hand the Heaven Vault over was the western world’s idea. Could it be that the Grim Reaper was strong enough to contend against those terrifying existences in the Pureland of Bliss?

When the various experts left, the dark clouds that brought with them immense pressure faded away as well. The sky regained its normal calmness. The sea waves churned normally and the atmosphere was no longer tense. It was like no one has ever came by at all.

Staring at the blue sky, everyone felt like they were in a dream.

Beiming Youhuang appeared beside Qin Wentian. Her beautiful eyes stared upwards as she asked in a low voice, “Is it him?”

“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded. Only the two of them knew who the Grim Reaper really was.

“Why doesn’t he meet with us?” Beiming Youhuang asked.

“You should know the personality of that crazy old freak. When was he ever normal before?” Qin Wentian cursed in a low voice but there was a smile on his face. Beiming Youhuang glanced at him, she was speechless.

However, Qin Wentian’s words made sense. From what she knew, the Grim Reaper was truly someone crazy.

…

In the Pureland of Bliss of the western world, at the location where the Buddhist Sect is located, harmonious clouds covered the sky and the atmosphere was extremely peaceful. This was the holy ground of the Buddhist Sect, this is a place of enlightenment for the masses and there would be countless people traveling here everyday for a pilgrimage.

However, the atmosphere today was completely spoiled. No sense of worship existed in the hearts of the people here, there was only terror. Because, the skies above the holy ground were now covered in complete darkness as countless death spirits manifested.

Many buddha cultivators flew towards the holy ground. Their expressions were ugly to the extreme. They inclined their heads and stared at the darkness. Who was it that dared to be so audacious?

Numerous golden bodies of ancient buddhas shone, these were all at the deity-level. The golden light from them wanted to pierce through the darkness. However, the darkness was too deep, although there was boundless golden light, the buddhist cultivators had no way to dispel the darkness.

The world of darkness in the air continuously produced countless vengeful spirits that were wailing in agony, causing the holy ground of the Buddhist Sect to become a world of purgatory.

“BOOM!” The sound of a bell rang out as a giant buddha appeared. After that, a voice echoed out, “It has already been so many years but the vengeance in benefactor’s heart is as intense as ever.”

“The holy ground of the buddhist dao. The Pureland of Bliss that is worshipped by everyone. When you all preached about the dao, and speak words of kindness and mercy to the masses, have all of you ever felt ashamed before?” A voice rang out from the darkness, echoing through this entire space.

Many buddha cultivators pressed their palms together as they chanted buddhic verses, wanting to expel the darkness.

“Benefactor, you appeared in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms once again. Are you here because you want to create even more sin by killing?” The ancient buddhic voice rang out, filled with peace, mercy and love. It was like just by listening to this voice, all hatred in the world would be wiped away. This voice was filled with pity for the fate of mankind and bemoaned the state of the current world.

“Back then when Ancient Azure Mystic was destroyed, how many vengeful spirits were created by you?” The voice in the darkness replied. “Also, if there’s a hell in the mortal world? Why are all of you not in there yet?”
