Chapter 636: Chapter 418: He Replaced Me! Erased Memories
The most critical aspect is that this array can instantly transform into the Peacock Great Ming King Array.
Although Zhong Heng can harness the strength of the Peacock Great Saint,
If possible, it’s best to use it sparingly.
His friendship with the Peacock Great Saint is limited; overusing it might displease the Great Saint.
Now, Zhong Heng has already entered Divinity Transformation, and his own power is sufficient.
"Five Elements Divine Light, condense!"
The Five Elements Divine Light began to be conducted layer by layer through the array.
The Spiritual Qi of the surrounding world was forcibly drawn, pulled out from the world and absorbed into the array.
A peacock gradually took form.
It spread its wings,
opened its tail,
a dazzling brilliance burst forth.
The light dispelled the boundless darkness surrounding the malice.
A layer of invisible white light flickered in Zhong Heng’s eyes.
River Map Analysis.
The peacock radiated light, dispelling the darkness.
The opponent’s face seemed to slowly reveal itself...
The most surprising thing for Zhong Heng was that the opponent offered no resistance at all.
It was as if a radiating source continually emitting malice around it.
Not only did Zhong Heng not relax,
he grew even more solemn.
Unconscious radiation of malice could influence so many worlds.
The opponent’s power must be even stronger than Zhong Heng anticipated.
The power within Zhong Heng also began to rise step by step,
soon reaching the optimal combat state.
If in a world of Spiritual Qi, Zhong Heng’s power could be stronger.
But the power of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator is as deep as an abyss; even without external replenishment, it can still exert ninety percent of its power.
The darkness at the source of the malice was peeled away layer by layer.
In Zhong Heng’s eyes,
The true face of the opponent was about to be revealed...
Zhong Heng’s pupils constricted.
"How could it be!?"
The darkness was dispelled, finally revealing a somewhat familiar face to Zhong Heng.
However, this face was covered with black lines, looking particularly ferocious and terrifying.
This face, Zhong Heng had seen twice.
The Divine Venerable of the Primordial Continent, the Immortal Coffin suppressing the Apocalypse Rift...
Immortal Venerable Huihuang!
Zhong Heng fixed his gaze on that face.
He wanted to determine the authenticity of this face.
But even if the state of the opponent was off, Zhong Heng could not detect anything amiss about the opponent.
Nothing could escape these eyes.
It is the power from the River Map.
Based on Zhong Heng’s strength, almost no illusion skills or concealing techniques could escape the gaze of the River Map Analytical Eyes.
In front of him... is indeed, Immortal Venerable Huihuang.
And the true body of Immortal Venerable Huihuang lies within the Immortal Coffin at the edge of the Apocalypse Rift.
Another incarnation...?
But...
Zhong Heng continued to observe.
He did not dare to confirm that this was an incarnation of Immortal Venerable Huihuang.
Too real, no trace of an incarnation could be seen.
"Another possibility... an external incarnation..."
Zhong Heng murmured.
But why is Immortal Venerable Huihuang emitting such intense malice?
Why is he appearing in the depths of the Fragment World...?
And...
The Immortal Venerable Huihuang before him, and the one by the Apocalypse Rift,
Who is the true body?
Countless thoughts flashed in Zhong Heng’s mind.
The malice unintentionally exuded by Immortal Venerable Huihuang was dispersed by Zhong Heng’s True Essence.
The darkness around him completely disappeared.
Revealing the entire body of Immortal Venerable Huihuang.
He wore a simple black robe, his face, and all the skin on his body covered with twisted cracks, like centipedes crawling.
He was still emitting renewed malice.
Malice, or perhaps resentment, hatred, endless hatred.
Finally transforming into malice towards all things...
"What on earth happened..."
Zhong Heng murmured.
He recalled some information he had learned from the Five Elements True Immortal.
The Apocalypse Rift might be related to the five-thousand-year great change.
But it wasn’t the key to that great change.
And after the great change, the Apocalypse Rift undoubtedly fractured.
A total of three people had taken on the responsibility of mending the Apocalypse Rift.
The first was Immortal Venerable Huihuang.
He possessed the power of many worlds, his capability in utilizing the forces of the world far exceeding that of other Immortals.
Later, Immortal Venerable Huihuang unexpectedly perished.
His Immortal Body became one of the Immortal Coffin Immortal Corpses suppressing the Apocalypse Rift.
The second was Zhong Heng’s old acquaintance, Five Spirits Immortal Venerable.
But Five Spirits Immortal Venerable’s role was only temporary; his period of responsibility was not long.
The Five Spirits Immortal Venerable was also adept at the Path of the Five Elements.
With the help of five Holy Beasts, his attainments in the Path of the Five Elements far surpassed those of other Immortals.
And the Path of the Five Elements could leverage the power of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, using more of its power to seal the rift.
Of course, others also possessed power that could harmonize with the world, but the Immortals who mastered these powers did not have the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable’s high level of attainment.
It was merely that the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable fell quickly afterwards...
The Immortals joined forces to suppress the rift.
Until the appearance of the Five Elements True Immortal.
The legendary Great Saint wanted to take this opportunity to return from the river of time, which led the Immortals to find the right candidate.
Zhong Heng’s mind was filled with more thoughts...
His face gradually became grim.
"Elder Hu... what exactly happened back then..."
"I... why am I unaware of it..."
Elder Hu’s voice reached Zhong Heng’s ears.
The Five Elements True Immortal did not say much to him, and Zhong Heng did not pay it much mind.
And now...
The Five Spirits Immortal Venerable fell during the process of suppressing the Apocalypse Rift.
So how did the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd end up deep within the Fragment World!!!
Originally, the position of the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd was clearly within the Fragment World.
Even deeper than where the malicious Immortal Venerable Huihuang resided.
And now when Zhong Heng inquired Elder Hu, Elder Hu surprisingly did not recall the time when the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable was responsible for suppressing the Apocalypse Rift...
As if someone forcibly erased that memory...
But... Elder Hu is the Artifact Spirit of the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd, an Artifact Spirit of an Immortal Artifact, who has the ability to erase his memory?
Zhong Heng’s face changed several times.
Elder Hu recounted the information from the past one by one.
His memory halted at the upheaval of heaven and earth.
He couldn’t remember how the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable died...
If it were before, Zhong Heng might not have paid much attention to this matter.
But now... another Immortal Venerable Huihuang is present here.
Both Immortal Venerable Huihuang and Five Spirits Immortal Venerable were responsible for suppressing the Apocalypse Rift.
This made Zhong Heng think more deeply.
Zhong Heng’s expression gradually returned to normal.
No matter what, the Immortals of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm were capable of handling it, the foundation of Jiuzhou surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.
Zhong Heng didn’t need to worry too much about these matters.
Just mentioning it when he sees the Five Elements True Immortal would suffice.
Zhong Heng took a deep breath and bowed to the Immortal Venerable Huihuang in front of him.
"Junior, Zhong Heng, greets Immortal Venerable Huihuang."
Zhong Heng performed the disciple’s salute.
He received many benefits from the Immortal Venerable and thus paid respects as a disciple.
Perhaps it was the disciple’s salute, Immortal Venerable Huihuang trembled slightly.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
The eyes were pure black.
Not a trace of vitality, indistinguishable between pupils and sclera.
Just like two lifeless jade stones.
"Replacement... he replaced me..."
"It cannot be so..."
"Why..."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Heng trembled all over.
In his mind, he couldn’t help but imagine countless scenarios.
"Please, Immortal, enlighten me with the specifics," Zhong Heng said, forcing his composure.
"Replacement, he replaced me... hahaha..."
Immortal Venerable Huihuang began to laugh heartily.
His face was filled with malice and resentment.
The malice surged again from his body, but was continuously sealed by Zhong Heng.
Zhong Heng looked up, fixedly staring at him.
"Replacement? What replacement."
"The Immortal Venerable Huihuang I know is not like the senior you are."
Malice, resentment, hatred...
All negative emotions converged upon him.
"Don’t you understand yet? He replaced me, he replaced me!"
"He is not the Immortal Venerable Huihuang, I am!"
"I am!"
"But... the Immortal is already dead," Zhong Heng suddenly said.
Immortal Venerable Huihuang suddenly trembled all over, looking incredulously at Zhong Heng.
"Dead?"
"So I am already dead."
Immortal Venerable Huihuang’s body started to shatter.
And indeed, it shattered just like that.
Zhong Heng stared blankly at the bizarre source of malice before him, the malice masquerading as the Immortal Venerable Huihuang, was it just gone like that?
No grand battle, the malice Divinity Transformation simply disappeared.
All Zhong Heng did was to block the waves of malice from spreading.
Nothing else was done.
The myriad living beings in the surrounding countless worlds all felt a relief and comfort from within their hearts.
They all looked up at the five-colored light in the sky and knelt down one after another.
Malice, completely dissipated.
Zhong Heng, carrying many questions.
Yet he discovered a light cluster left behind.
It was a Divine Conscious Light Cluster, and Zhong Heng hesitated, but the light cluster approached...
