Chapter 513 – Living Dead Man

Aside from the tournament participants, Lilith succeeded in transferring Miaomiao's important persons to Netherworld Realm.

Lilith turned to the tournament island, where Karen and most immortals had been gathering. She expanded her divine sense to snoop the event.

Her subordinate was confronting Karen, and the latter was fumed with rage.

Lilith could hear their conversation. It seemed that Karen wanted to finish this tournament first before she would surrender the planet. Also, Karen demanded a lot of compensation, such as divine-grade treasures, Yellow River's underwater rocks, and permission to reincarnate her people without drinking the soup of forgetfulness.

The subordinate looked up, asking for Lilith's permission.

'Tell her that I can part with underwater rocks and two divine-grade treasures. As for the reincarnation perk, she can't have it. I'm not on a good term with Meng Po or the current Yama King, so I can't grant her that request.'

Lilith authorized her agent. She then closed her eyes and pinched her fingers again.

"Well, then. Time to find Devil's nasty murals. Where the hell is he hiding all those pieces?"

As a custom-made War Marionette Commander Prototype, her special forte was the deduction power and karma thread reading. She traced the karma knots of the Time-and-Space Murals to find the current owners.

She knew that Miaomiao had six of them. As for the other one, a karma thread led her to Meng Hong, the father of Meng Xin.

Lilith grinned. She descended to the mortal world, planning to extort the mural from him first. Then, she would ask Miaomiao for the other six to complete the set.

...

Meanwhile, Devil stopped flying backward. He corrected his posture and secretly checked the reaction of Lilith.

Upon discovering that she went for the last piece of mural, Devil stopped sulking and pondered to himself.

'Welp. In the end, Miaomiao will get all the mural pieces and awaken THAT Xie Tian's power. Even if Lilith steals all pieces and takes the power for herself, he should be able to awaken the Chrono Element on his own. He can steal Meng Xin's plot armor and the Karmic Severing Dao, too. I guess Miaomiao will have to replace Samsara's role before I complete mine. Or, I can send Xie Qingtian to Kishin Douji right now and trigger the curse. Then, I wait until the curse weakens him enough, and I can bring Miaomiao to end him.'

Devil hummed. Even though not everything went according to his plans, he still had a few ideas on how he could salvage this timeline.

However, there were a few problems with this new method.

Devil thought of the other deities, such as Hongjun, the Monkey King, Sun Crow, Kunwu, and many others. They should be eyeing the murals for quite some time, and they might snatch them from Miaomiao as soon as the latter completed the collection.

'This should be about time I start hunting some gods. No one can get their hands on the murals other than my boy!'

...

Lilith's subordinates were swift. They took Miaomiao's disciples, wives, and Siren City's people to the Netherworld Realm within a day, except for Liu Guang, Sima Yi, and Guo Jia.

The immortal harpy brought Liu Guang back to Xiangyang as the latter had been entrusted with new tasks.

Liu Guang got to resume her duty as the Empress of Aves Continent.

The empress had an unfinished business here. Lilith ordered her to reach the first level of the immortal stage before the end of the tournament!

This objective seemed impossible at glance, but Lilith gave Liu Guang big gifts.

First, Liu Guang obtained a strange rock, which was said to be a stone that had been soaked with the Yellow River's spring for several thousand years. It emitted mysterious energy and odor, which boosted Liu Guang's cultivation speed and refine her soul as long as he held it in her hands.

Secondly, Liu Guang received a unique cultivation method from Lilith's Grand Library. It was a unique cultivation method for ancient true blood vampires, which suited Liu Guang well.

And lastly, her Qiongqi Bloodline had been refined after a day of soaking herself in Netherworld Realm's Qi. She also obtained several drops of unknown blood essence from Lilith Palace.

Moreover, the harpy erected a tiny array, which opened a dimensional hole. It connected the Netherworld Dimension with Xiangyang Palace, leaking the Unholy Yin Essence from Hell to the outside world.

With all the preparations, Liu Guang had no choice but to cultivate harder.

As for Siren City, Lilith dispatched the loli sphinx and the slime woman as the city guardians. They were tasked to plant soul grasses on the surrounding wastelands and swarms to increase the local's Qi.

The other immortals were deployed to the other continents as well. They had to increase this world's natural Qi before she could bring the entire planet to her Constellation Sector or send it to the Netherworld Sub-Dimension.

The progress of taking over the planet was in a full-swing.

However, inside the stadium, Lilith didn't extend her hands to them. She allowed Karen to finish this little event.

The tournament resumed.

...

Wei Yuan, Kang Yan, Ma Xingjuan, Mao Xueyan, and Dian Wei's faces were dark and solemn.

They had heard about the developments from the other yin slaves and the other failed contestants, who were kicked out of the arena backstage locker rooms.

They couldn't contact Miaomiao either. Even Nero, Azazel, and Uriel didn't respond to their sound transmission.

Mao Xueyan gazed at the remaining girls, "I guess we should give up this tournament and go find the others. This is not the time to play in this stupid death game for fortune."

Wei Yuan sighed and nodded, "It's a shame, but we will eventually have to give up this tournament at some point since many of our opponents are 9th-stage experts. Yeah, we should go back."

Dian Wei shook her head, "I'll keep on going. I can still fight. Opponents are tasty."

Everybody broke a sweat. This spider woman actually ate her opponents on the stage, and she earned quite a number of fans.

Although Dian Wei was a weirdo, Kang Yan concurred with the former's decision. She believed that she could defeat 9th-stage cultivators in duels as well, "I'll stay."

Ma Xingjuan looked around in reluctance. But when she thought of the adrenaline rush during the previous match, she wanted to do it again.

Moreover, she wanted to fight Meng Xin seriously!

"I'll stay, too."

It was 2 to 3 votes. The majority chose to stay.

Wei Yuan shrugged, "Oh, well. You girls can continue, but I'll give up this round. If I win again, I'll have to fight a 9th-stage cultivator. I should give up before that stupid swan comes up with a new rule and not allowing us to resign before the match."

Mao Xueyan nodded. She walked out of the locker room to talk to the tournament manager with Wei Yuan.

But as soon as the women went to the staff office, they ran into a group of other contestants, who had been queuing to resign from the tournament.

The line was quite long. Wei Yuan counted about a hundred fighters here. All of them were 8th-stage cultivators.

When the cultivators saw Wei Yuan and Mao Xueyan, they had the urge to woo them. However, they changed their mind and stood firm, guarding their queues.

Wei Yuan and Mao Xueyan found it odd. Still, they walked to the end of the line and waited for their turn by the queue.

But as they were waiting to enter the staff office, the tournament event had already resumed. The announcer began calling for the first round's contestants.

Everyone behind the backstage could also hear the announcer's voice. He was explaining a new rule.

"... Today's fights will be even more exciting! The tournament hosts have agreed to increase the prizes for every contestant as long as they participated in this round. Each participant will receive a copy of an immortal-grade cultivation method, a thousand first-grade soul stones, and a heaven-grade weapon!"

The cultivators behind the backstage gazed at the speakers on the ceiling. Some of them were interested in the new prizes, and they abandoned their queues.

The announcer continued, "That is not all. On this round, many immortals said that they would invite every winner of this round to the Immortal Realm! If you impress them during the fight this round, they might even ask the winners to be their disciples!"

Half of the cultivators behind the backstage paused. Then, 80% of the people walked out of the lines as they changed their minds.

"And lastly, our dear goddess said that she had obtained the cooperation from the Underworld Empress. The winners of this round could have [A ROUND] with Netherworld Realm's top beauties for a night!"

As soon as the announcer said that, all men gave up their queues and rushed to their locker rooms to prepare for their matches.

Mao Xueyan and Wei Yuan frowned as they stared at these horny men. Their action reminded them of their perverted husband.

"Let's go. We need to hurry before our match starts," Mao Xueyan urged Wei Yuan to enter the staff office.

The two women and a few women contestants were still waiting for their queue. They gathered in front of the staff room in line.

The lines moved faster than before. Many women before Wei Yuan and Mao Xueyan successfully resigned from the tournament, and they happily rushed out of the stadium as if they were fleeing from something.

Mao Xueyan got her call first. She entered the staff room before Wei Yuan.

But as Mao Xueyan was in the room, the tournament progressed, and the next match was called to the arena.

"Next contestant, Wei Yuan versus Wei Feng! Wow, we have a blood feud over here!"

'W-Wei Feng?!'

Wei Yuan was shocked. She forgot about her elder brother, and she didn't expect to see him here.

She was also confused. When she had checked the tournament bracket, there was no Wei Feng's name in there.

Something was not right.

Wei Yuan left her queue and strode toward the arena preparation room with heavy steps.

The tournament reception saluted Wei Yuan and explained the rules, "In this round, you can use anything in combat. Pets, familiars, summons, and Dao Spirits are usable. Also, the previous round's rules are still mostly the same – The winner takes all. Please do your best."

"..."

Wei Yuan frowned again. She had the urge to step back and give up right away to avoid an unexpected casualty.

However, she worried about Wei Feng. She didn't want her arrogant brother to get himself killed in the next match since he might face a 9th-stage cultivator.

In the end, she decided to go out to the stage to meet her elder brother. She had to stop him from advancing and dying in vain.

But as soon as Wei Yuan came out and saw her opponent, her face distorted in anger.

Her opponent was not Wei Feng, but he was an 8th-stage cultivator. Moreover, the opponent was a middle-aged man that she had seen several times in Mountain Goose City.

Fu De!

This vampire lord, the governor of the slum district, was still alive!

"I thought you already died. How did you come to Holy Land Continent?"

Fu De smirked and opened her arms, "Surprise?"

Fu De had used his fake names in this tournament. At first, he entered this tournament as someone else. But as soon as he noticed that he would fight Wei Yuan in the next round, he purposely changed his alias to Wei Feng to draw her out.

"I changed my tournament alias as many times as I want. Well, it doesn't matter anymore. After I beat you, I'll auction you as a sex slave! I'm sure Liu Hanzhen will fork a lump sum for your pussy!"

"... You've grown quite arrogant and vulgar, old man."

"Ha! I'm considering myself humble. Your DEAD GRANDFATHER is even more vulgar and stupid. He surrendered to Kishin Douji for power and backstabbed him. Do you know what happened? Your father killed him and surrendered to Kishin Douji again! I bet he will sooner or later betray the god and get himself killed like Wei Huang. Oh, wait. You betrayed your parents and ran away with a man! Is this the Wei Clan's standard? Is betraying their family the way of the Wei Clan? I'm amazed, little Yuan. Your family is really amazing!"

"..."

Wei Yuan took a deep breath. Chaos Element distorted the air around her, and she activated her domain.

Before the match was officially started, Wei Yuan prepared for battle.

Normally, Wei Yuan was always cool-headed.

Regardless of how Fu De survived and got stronger, Wei Yuan didn't care anymore.. Today, for the first time, she wanted someone deader than dead.
