“Ying Shuang’s Fortuity has decayed to this extent, but it surprisingly still manages to rise again. Some good does come out of horrible situations. It sure does prove the saying that there is always hope, not to mention that he is a Fortuitous One…” Gu Changge’s expression was somewhat puzzled before he became intrigued about the matter.

 

While on his way to where Ying Shuang and the others were, he kept an eye on Ying Shuang’s Fortuity because the System had been notifying him that Ying Shuang’s Fortuity was decreasing continuously, so he was wondering if he should help him in secret to prevent him from dying so quickly.

 

He didn’t wish for him to die so early since he still needed him to continue taking the blame for him. If Ying Shuang died just like that, he would have to spend more energy to find the next person to take the blame.

 

[Ying Shuang is too weak. If he had the methods of the previous Prince Ying, he wouldn’t be this passive. Even so, it does make my job easier.]

 

However, Gu Changge soon realised that Ying Shuang’s Fortuity were surprisingly increasing.

 

He guessed that now that Ying Shuang was deemed by everyone as the Successor of Demonic Arts, it caused a chain of reactions, which meant that there was possibly an organisation behind the Successor of Demonic Arts, and now, Ying Shuang had drawn their attention.

 

If he ever encountered any life-threatening situations, the real organisation behind the Successor of Demonic Arts might even come out to save him. After all, there had been many Successors of Demonic Arts since the ancient times, and even though there was only one person in every generation who cultivated in the ways of the Forbidden Demonic Arts, it would be stupid of them not to have several backups.

 

In this case, Gu Changge’s job was made even easier since Ying Shuang still couldn’t die at this moment, and if there was someone there to save him, it would be impossible for him to die even if he wanted to.

 

[He must take the blame as the Successor of Demonic Arts until the day he dies.]

 

As for the situation turning against him and Ying Shuang gaining another kind of power, Gu Changge wasn’t worried at all since Ying Shuang didn’t know the Forbidden Demonic Arts completely.

 

Sooner or later, that organisation would realise that something was wrong.

 

[According to how things normally play out, if there really is an organisation of the Forbidden Demonic Arts, they should be searching for that mysterious person Ye Langtian mentioned, and it won’t have much to do with Ying Shuang. I wonder if such an organisation exists in the Eternal Overcast Battlefield. However, even if it doesn’t, it won’t make any difference. I’ll just lend him a helping hand.]

 

Thinking about it, Gu Changge couldn’t help but reveal a playful smile while his body became more blurred and his speed towards the place of interest became faster.

 

In the eyes of others, it showed that Gu Changge was worried about the safety of the people, and his anxious behaviour only gained the admiration of more people.

 

*Whoosh!* A series of light penetrated the sky as the young prodigies and cultivators of every faction headed towards the same direction. Over the days, news about the appearance of the Successor of Demonic Arts had spread across the entire Eternal Overcast Battlefield, causing a huge uproar.

 

“Brother Gu, is back. That’s great. It has been uneasy during this period without him in the Eternal Overcast Battlefield.”

 

“You’re right. With him here, that Successor of Demonic Arts probably won’t dare to be so arrogant. It seems like he only dared to attack us the moment he knew that Brother Gu had left the Eternal Overcast Battlefield.”

 

“At that time, Brother Gu was even merciful enough to relieve them, but I’m afraid that he doesn’t expect so many things to happen in these few days.”

 

“Sigh, if only the Successor of the Mortal Palace had stepped in to kill Prince Ying right away, none of this would have happened.”

 

“However, Prince Ying might be deliberately showing weakness at that time to fool everyone…”

 

At the moment, Ye Langtian, Wang Wushuang, Chi Ling and the others were all in the form of divine rainbows as they flew across the high sky and headed towards the area where Sky Emperor Mountain was currently situated. As they discussed the matter, they felt extremely emotional without relating the situation to Gu Changge at all.

 

From their perspective, in today’s young generation, except for Gu Changge, the Successor of the Mortal Palace and a few others, almost no one was a match for the Successor of Demonic Arts. Now that it was already a fact that the current Prince Ying was the Successor of Demonic Arts, even if he wanted to defend himself and refused to admit to it, no one would believe in him.

 

That was why no one could figure out what Prince Ying could do at this moment, unless he planned to drag the entire Sky Emperor Mountain with him to be the enemy of the world, but even if that was what he wanted, the Sky Emperor Mountain would probably not admit it.

 

After countless years of inheritance, Sky Emperor Mountain would certainly not make such a foolish decision at this crucial moment. Most probably, they would choose to abandon Prince Ying since Sky Emperor Mountain had existed for many years and the position of Prince Ying was nothing more than just a position.

 

The entire Sky Emperor Mountain would never be under his command, and Prince Ying should have anticipated all of this the day he accepted to be the Successor of Demonic Arts.

 

Soon, Wang Wushuang, Ye Langtian and the others arrived at the area where Sky Emperor Mountain was currently situated. However, what they saw in front of their eyes shocked them so much that they found it difficult to come back to their senses for a minute or two.

 

The light rushing towards the sky was enough to drown any cultivator below the Sacred Realm, and even for them, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of palpitation, as if they were in a dream.

 

“Is Prince Ying actually planning to slaughter everyone at this moment? Is he going to make the whole world his enemy?”

 

Soon, their faces quickly darkened and were filled with rage.

 

Wang Wushuang and the others even activated their respective secret forbidden weapons while on the alert. In front of them, they could only see a vast energy emerging like the awakening of an ancient god. The earth-shattering energy was so shocking that it felt like a starry river of Principles intertwining while a golden bell floated high in the sky.

 

The golden bell was huge, as if a mountain range stretched across the sky, obscuring everything, and the terrifying power of time flowing around the bell exuded a powerful energy that could simply make everything reappear back as its chaotic form. The extremely bright yet horrifying golden light was like a hill penetrating and cracking the cosmos.

 

Even the Eternal Overcast Battlefield couldn’t resist such an energy as the vault of heaven exploded.

 

This one scene deeply shocked everyone, causing Ye Langtian and the others who rushed here to palpitate. As the Successor of the Ye Family, he immediately knew that this was, which was why he was confused as to why Prince Ying was bold enough to activate such a thing, as if he was prepared to go against the entire world.

 

“That is the Soul Suppressing Ancient Bell of the previous Sky Emperor Ying, no, it isn’t the weapon of Sky Emperor Ying. He refined it with his own hands and reserved it specifically for his own children.”

 

“I’m afraid that it is a Sacred Emperor Grade weapon with divine powers that can rival someone in the Sacred Emperor Realm. Who else can stop him?”

 

“This Successor of Demonic Arts is really arrogant. I can’t believe he still refuses to admit to it at this point. Does he really think that with Sky Emperor Mountain behind him and Sky Emperor Ying as his father, he can do whatever he wants?”

 

“I heard that the young king from the Endless Fire Kingdom has been accepted as a disciple by a Supreme Being. If she dies here now, I’m afraid that the Supreme Being will rush here in anger.”

 

“By then, the Eternal Overcast Battlefield will no longer be calm, which will be much more dangerous to us.”

 

Between the depleted mountain rangers, many young cultivators were discussing when they saw this scene. All of them were filled with rage before becoming really worried.

 

At the end of their sight, they could see a monstrous energy rising. It was the roar of someone in the Sacred Noble Realm, who was the protector of Qi Lin Zi. When attacking Ying Shuang, he could feel that something was wrong as an overwhelming energy appeared in its body, nearly shattering his Primordial Spirit.

 

“The Successor of Demonic Arts is the enemy of all! Even if you kill me, there will always be someone hunting you down,” he roared, shaking the earth.

 

His boundless Sacred Realm Principles felt like it was cracking the earth apart, making a declaration of horror. Under such fluctuations, even a being in the Sacred Realm would be stunned as he couldn’t withstand such force.

 

The rage of someone in the Sacred Noble Realm could change terrains, skies and even destroy the cosmos. If such a battle happened in the outside world, many lives and stars would be annihilated, turning into dust, but now, he seemed to be insignificant and tiny.

 

Under the power of a Supreme Being, he was like an ant. Except for a resigned roar, there was nothing else he could do.

 

The next moment, the golden divine light fell, as if it was about to burn the entire world. The endless Principles immediately drowned the being in the Sacred Noble Realm, and before he could even let out a scream, he was instantly turned into nothing along with his soul.

 

“I’ve told you that I’m not the Successor of Demonic Arts. Why won’t you all believe me?”

 

As the person in question, Ying Shuang now looked more gloomy than anyone else. While he stood under the sky, his skull seemed to be shining with a divine light that was connected to the Golden Ancient Bell in the high sky, but it had nothing to do with him at all.

 

The Golden Ancient Bell would only be activated once he encountered any life-threatening dangers, so in usual circumstances, it would be difficult for him to activate it himself. Now, Ying Shuang felt that the blame of the Successor of Demonic Arts was put on him closely, as if it could never be removed, which filled him with rage, fear and anxiety.

 

[Who is the one who framed me? Why does he keep on putting the blame on me so many times?]

 

“Young Master Ying, please quickly stop all this. There is always a way back. As long as you are willing to repeal the Forbidden Demonic Arts, there is still hope.”

 

“Otherwise, even the loyalists that the Sky Emperor left behind won’t be able to save you.”

 

“You are not only hurting yourself. You are also putting the entire Sky Emperor Mountain in danger!”

 

“Young Master Ying, do you think this is what Sky Emperor Ying wants? If he is still here, he won’t be willing to see what you’ve become today…”

 

Ying Yu, A Gu and the others from Sky Emperor Mountain were now persuading Ying Shuang to turn back and not to be obsessed anymore with sorrow and regret. Suspicion was one thing, but now that the suspicions had been proved, the situation was completely different, which was why they were now full of worry, pain and restlessness…

 

[Why would Ying Shuang suddenly take the wrong path? As the Successor of Demonic Arts, he will always end up dead sooner or later. In the end, it will only end with the doom of his related family as they become the enemy of the entire world. Why won’t Ying Shuang understand?]

 

“I’ve told you that I was framed. I’m not the Successor of Demonic Arts. Why won’t you all believe me… Ying Yu, are you going to be like them too?”

 

Ying Shuang’s eyes were filled with rage as he stared at the people from Sky Emperor Mountain, especially Ying Yu. Even his own sister didn’t believe in him and felt that he was the Successor of Demonic Arts, which made his heart cold and disappointed.

 

“Brother, why are you still blind by your ways at this point? Are you really planning to drag the entire Sky Emperor Mountain down with you? If you knew about what is going to happen today, why would you have chosen to do so in the first place?”

 

Ying Yu’s expression was also filled with pain, struggle, sorrow and hesitance…

 

She figured that there would be such a day, but she always hoped that the day would never come, but now that it was here, she was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

 

“Huh, I still remember that you once called me your brother. I can’t believe you still doubt me…” Listening to her words, Ying Shuang also turned gloomy and clenched his fists tightly while his body trembled, but in reality, the rage, grievance and fear inside his heart had reached its peak. Now that Ying Yu no longer trusted him, it meant that he had no other people backing him when facing all his enemies. At this point, he would much rather go back and feed horses than encounter such a thing.

 

*Boom!* Then, the Golden Ancient Bell above his head suddenly burst out an abnormal bright light with hundreds of thousands of golden haze dazzling. The terrifying pressure engulfed the land, causing countless cultivators to change their expressions in fear. Even the other cultivators in the Eternal Overcast Battlefield also sensed an uneasy feeling coming from their souls, as if they couldn’t help but kneel down.

 

“He is actually planning to kill us all…”

 

“We’ll fight him to the death! Everyone has the right to kill the Successor of Demonic Arts!”

 

Everyone stared at Ying Shuang with eyes full of rage, hatred and murderous intent. At this moment, even though they knew they weren’t a match for him, they were still fearless when preparing to charge forward and fight him to the death.

 

[This Ying Shuang is simply too arrogant. How dare he conjured up such a weapon and killed a being of the Sacred Noble Realm in front of us!]

 

“Brother, I really don’t wish to fight you, but don’t forget that I have a Golden Ancient Bell too.” Ying Yu’s cold voice mixed with pain resounded in the land.

 

*Hum!* The next moment, a bright abnormal light emerged on her forehead with a powerful energy rising. The terrifying shadow suddenly solidified under the sky as it was exactly the same Golden Ancient Bell as Ying Shuang’s, which was refined by Sky Emperor Ying, but Ying Yu was able to activate it using a secret technique instead of activating it by itself. However, there was a fundamental difference in power between it and the Golden Ancient Bell above Ying Shuang’s head.

 

“Are you going to kill me too? After all I said, you still refuse to believe me.”

 

Looking at her actions, he was stunned while his eyes were wide open. His expression was then filled with disbelief, as if he was unwilling to believe that Ying Yu would strike at him in the end.

 

“You’ve already killed a lot of people. Please stop.” Ying Yu’s voice was full of pain and struggle.

 

With that, a bright haze burst out of her skull, giving Ying Shuang the realisation that no matter what he said, it was useless. The blame was now firmly put on his head, and there was no way for him to defend himself. At this point, the only thing he could do was to think of a way to survive!

 

Soon, the two Golden Ancient Bells battled each other in the high sky, causing fluctuations similar to a raging sea. The scene was so terrifying that it could simply shatter the sky.

 

The frightening power of Principles that the divine light exuded was extremely chaotic, as if it was reenacting the astonishing scene of the sky cracking. Even some of the stars in the outside world were swept and cut down by the divine light, causing them to turn into dust mid-air. The chaotic mist landed on the outside world, flooding everything, and because many living beings were unable to escape, they were immediately killed under such fluctuations. Just like the previous being in the Sacred Noble Realm they were obliterated before they could even let out a scream.

 

Suddenly, it became a living hell.

 

Many young prodigies were heading towards the place, but on the way, they were hit by the burst of divine light, which caused them to instantly explode and turn into mists of blood.

 

“We need to run. Prince Ying has gone insane. He is planning to kill us all and make the world his enemy.”

 

“We need to report to the clan quickly that the Successor of Demonic Arts is here to kill us all!”

 

Everyone began to panic as they escaped to all directions with despair, fear and anger. From his actions, one could see that Prince Ying was actually planning to slaughter everyone in this land. After all, it was highly possible that there would be no place for him in the world after what happened today, so thinking about it, he planned to bring everyone down with him as many as he could.

 

“We need to escape as well! Prince Ying is planning to sink the ship. Even if he wants to die, he is dragging us all with him!”

 

Wang Wushuang, Ye Langtian and the others were stunned. Even though they had the backing of the Ancient Ye Family and the Immortal Wang Family, none of them had a weapon as terrifying as Prince Ying’s.

 

A Sacred Emperor Grade Weapon wasn’t something that anyone could simply possess. If they chose not to run at this moment, they would only end up dead just like the rest.

 

*Hum!* However, the next moment, a strange fluctuation was suddenly felt in the land, causing everyone’s expression to change as a strange power enveloped them from all directions.

 

“Hehe… I dare you all to escape! Even if god himself is here, no one will be able to save you all. Today, everyone here has to die. Since ancient times, we were always the one who has been hunted down, so I’m surprised that the tables have turned today. Our Successor in this generation really is bold.” A cold chuckle was heard.

 

All those who were fleeing in all directions were stunned as they couldn’t help but shiver alongside their souls. In the void, three monstrous figures suddenly appeared shrouded in black robes and grey mist. Their eyes were cold and filled with cruelty and bloodlust.

 

Their energy was clearly of the Sacred Lord Realm with Sacred Lord Realm Principles intertwining next to them. They were so powerful that they could simply crush everyone here.

 

“This…”

 

“How is this possible!”

 

“This must be fake. How could there be someone in the Sacred Lord Realm hidden in the dark, let alone three? They are forcing us to our deaths!”

 

Looking at this scene, everyone was left dumbfounded, and when they came back to their senses, they couldn’t help but feel a chill all over their bodies. With a pale face, their souls shivered in despair.

 

[Why are they people hiding in the dark and suddenly appearing now? Not only that, they are three monstrous beings of the Sacred Lord Realm! I’m afraid that they can simply obliterate everyone here with one palm.]

 

“Don’t worry, Successor. No one will be able to leave here alive today.”

 

Then, the three Sacred Lord Realm experts who suddenly showed up, spoke to Ying Shuang respectfully amidst everyone’s despair and terror.

 

“You…”

 

At this point, not only was Ying Shuang slightly shocked, he was also dumbfounded and bewildered, but then, there was a burst of ecstasy.

 

[There really is hope for everyone. I’m now starting to wonder whether the previous Prince Ying is indeed the Successor of Demonic Arts. I might not be sure about that part of his memory after infusing with his body, wait, I’m not the Successor of Demonic Arts. I have never been since the beginning. Someone is totally setting me up on purpose, and these three in front of me are sent here by him. Even though it seems like he is helping me, his true purpose is to make sure that I will never clear my name. Damn it. How cruel must he be! It must be Gu Changge behind all this. During this period, I didn’t come into contact with anyone except for him. I knew he was up to no good…]

 

Soon, Ying Shuang came back to his senses while his shivering body was filled with despair and fear.

 

[What can I do even if I figured out everything? I can see his entire plan in front of my eyes, but I can’t reject it whatsoever. This is an obvious death trap!]

  1. I’m starting to think that the stars in I am The Fated Villain are stickers stuck in the sky or the author just talking nonsense. I mean, they destroy stars in the sky, probably hundreds or thousands of light-years away, but they don’t destroy their sun, the nearest and immediate star.
