Immortal of the Ages - Chapter 753: Six Paths Yama Empress!

“This event isn’t just about power struggles. No one here can shake the roots of the Samsara Galaxy. This must be some peculiar incident… After all, the Samsara Galaxy has seen only one Six-Eyed Pandemonium before, and this second one’s even stronger. Where on earth did it come from?”

Despite the Desolation Corps numbering but 1,000, their chatter was ceaseless and loud.

“Hurry, ask around! What’s the follow-up? Anyone got friends near the Reincarnation Bastion? Where did that Golden Six-Eyed Pandemonium head after damaging the bastion?” the Black Brute Bear roared from a distance, silencing the crowd. They quickly sent out flying talismans to gather the latest news.

Moon Fairy approached the Colonel, known to have the most reliable information. Soon enough, someone would report to her.

As expected, a demon, resembling an elephant, crashed through, its trunk extended, mouth gaping like a cavern, and bellowed, “Colonel, there’s even more startling news!”

“Out with it!” the Colonel growled.

The elephant demon, visibly shaken, blurted, “It’s said that this new Six-Eyed Pandemonium has been accompanied by a lady, whose silhouette might just be that of the legendary figure missing for eons…”

“Who? Don’t keep us in suspense!” the Colonel snapped impatiently.

“The former master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!” the demon exclaimed, eyes wide.

“She’s back? The Six Paths Yama Empress? But she’s dead, isn’t she? Her reincarnation never succeeded…” The Colonel was stunned.

The crowd, too, was shocked, and all began to murmur.

“I also heard she didn’t make it into the Reincarnation Bastion before she died.”

“But it’s been ages, and none of us saw it with our own eyes. How can we be sure? What if she did enter?”

“If the Six Paths Yama Emperor has returned, she’d likely first strike down that old Six-Eyed Pandemonium…”

“It’s unavoidable, the realms she ruled were too rich!”

The discussions grew heated, while Yun Xiao listened, more bewildered than ever.

Blue Star had claimed Zhao Xuanran was just a mortal. Now here, she’s thought to be the reincarnated Six Paths Yama Emperor?

Who should he trust? Blue Star, or the inhabitants of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

If she were indeed the Six Paths Yama Empress… Yun Xiao might actually feel relieved, knowing at least she would be safe.

“Until there’s official confirmation, no talk of the Six Paths Yama Empress should leave the Desolation Corps,” the Colonel barked, quieting the crowd once more.

Just then, she received a flying talisman. After reading it, she declared, “She may not be the Six Paths Yama Empress.”

“Why not, Colonel?” the demons queried, confused.

“Because after that Six-Eyed Pandemonium wrecked the Reincarnation Bastion, it didn’t linger but headed towards the Heavenly Deity Stellar River,” the Colonel explained.

“The Heavenly Deity Stellar River? It’s the one in the Samsara Galaxy where the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects is about to be held, right?”

“Yes, that’s the one. It’s the busiest spot right now…”

“Indeed, there are many cultivation sects there.”

Moon Fairy found himself speechless again.

“It sure ran off quickly.”

Yun Xiao had hoped the Six-Eyed Pandemonium would linger here, giving his body double a chance to stall it.

“Let my true self come over, and we’ll handle it together!”

For now, his body double had scouted the path, but that six-eyed beast had grown significantly by slaying the old Six-Eyed Pandemonium, turning into a monstrous creature too powerful to confront in a short span.

It was, after all, the third Primordial Coffin!

And this Six Paths of Reincarnation was precisely the matching Dao Source for it.

“Everyone, don’t be too disheartened. Although this incident has heavily impacted us, at least the Six Paths Heaven Heart is safe,” the Colonel said calmly.

“Colonel, the main target of the Six Paths Yama Empress must be the Six Paths Heaven Heart, right?” Old Kapok asked dully.

“The old Six-Eyed Pandemonium, Reincarnation Bastion, and the Six Paths Heaven Heart, these must all be her targets. Among them, the Six Paths Heaven Heart is the most crucial. Controlling the Six Paths Heaven Heart means controlling the Six Paths of Reincarnation,” the Colonel sneered, “It’s good that this new Six Paths Yama Empress doesn’t seem to have much fighting power. She seems to have mostly been relying on that new Six-Eyed Pandemonium, which our combined forces have wounded. That’s probably why the two have fled to the Heavenly Deity Stellar River.”

“Thank goodness!”

“If the Six Paths Heaven Heart had been captured, we’d be finished!”

“Not necessarily. A change in the rule of the Six Paths of Reincarnation would just be like a restoration of an old dynasty.”

“Don’t speak nonsense!”

The Desolation Corps breathed a sigh of relief.

“The Six Paths Heaven Heart? Commanding the entire sanctuary world? Since that coffin wants it too, it must be crucial!” Moon Fairy’s eyes gleamed.

His goal was set. If he could seize what the others hadn’t, not only could he save Zhao Xuanran. But it might also allow him to obtain the third fusion of a Dao Source with a Primordial Coffin!

Whatever he obtained would at least be on par with Heaven Burial and Prison Warden.

“If possible, while my true self heads to the All Sects Immortal Assembly in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, my body double will stay here, focused on seizing the Six Paths Heaven Heart… We must take that Primordial Coffin! Damn, it’s time for a counterattack…!”

Previously somewhat clueless, now Moon Fairy had a clear mission. Moreover, he still had to rescue the Great Mother and Pale Revenant!

The Six Paths of Reincarnation held too many secrets worth uncovering.

The only uncertainty was whether his true self could make it here smoothly.

Blue Star was currently exerting all his power to mend the situation, and whether he would succeed remained to be seen.

“Listen up!”

The Colonel’s demeanor was stern as she suddenly swept her gaze over the crowd. “The woman suspected to be the Six Paths Yama Empress and Six-Eyed Pandemonium could strike back at any moment to seize the Six Paths Heaven Heart. Our world is at a crossroads of life and death. As the Desolation Corps of the Beast Path, we bear the grave responsibility of guardianship. From this moment, everyone must be alert and ready for battle!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Though the words were spoken, everyone understood that if the Six Paths Yama Empress were acting by herself, then this was a high-stakes game that didn’t truly involve the Desolation Corps. They merely needed to suppress any opportunists stirring up trouble.

“The personnel at the gate of the Six Paths of Reincarnation are in disarray. We’ll head there immediately to maintain order!” the Colonel declared.

“Yes!”

Under her leadership, the Desolation Corps thundered out, heading towards the direction of the Soul Refining Cauldron.

“The Soul Refining Cauldron, huh… that octopus fled, leaving chaos everywhere…”

Moon Fairy took a deep breath, his six tails held high, silver hair streaming through the air as he rushed towards the Soul Refining Cauldron.

The Soul Refining Cauldron also had desolation! Each time they reached a new world, it was the moment when Yun Xiao, Moon Fairy, and the War Princess saw the most explosive increase in their strength. Now was the time to race against the clock.

Suddenly, a blood-red tree loomed overhead.

It was Old Kapok! His branches swayed in the wind, chuckling, “Little brother, fancy a lift?”
