Chapter 2787

"What exactly are you planning to do?" Yan Aohan frowned slightly. "Just say what you mean."

The Evil Emperor showed no impatience. Instead, he spoke calmly, "I have been watching. Although the gods helped break the formation, you, Empress Yan, were the main leader. I dislike people who change their ways constantly, so I plan to change the rules."

She raised an eyebrow. "Actually, you will all like this new rule."

"Your words make me think it is not a good rule," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at her with suspicion.

The Evil Emperor chuckled. "But now, the initiative is in my hands. Even if it is not a good rule, you cannot refuse, can you?"

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? But why should I agree? Just because you are the formation eye?"

She tilted her head. "I must admit, as the formation eye, you can change the formation freely. But remember, because you are the eye, your changes are limited."

The Evil Emperor smiled unconcerned. "No matter what, making things difficult for you makes me happy." That was his true goal.

Zhu Yanyi now believed the Evil Emperor was completely foolish. Otherwise, why would she say such things?

The Evil Emperor said directly, "I know many mortals in other dimensions play games. Especially in modern dimensions, there are online games, mobile games, and even holographic games. In any game, the number of players attacking a boss is limited. I will change this formation into a game dungeon. I am the final boss. You can enter, but only six people at a time. The team members cannot change until you defeat me. This is a one-way mission."

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "So you want to play a game?"

"Is that not allowed?" The Evil Emperor looked wicked.

"It is not impossible. But think about it. In other games, players get stat boosts. Intelligence for attack, stamina for health, etc. You offer no benefits," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

The Evil Emperor was surprised by her suggestion. she paused, then said, "In that case, I will give you a benefit. For every ten levels you clear, you can rest for half a month." With that, she vanished.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. Although she smiled, her eyes were heavy.

Not only Zhu Yanyi, but all the other gods also looked serious.

"Wife, I will go with you," Yan Aohan spoke first.

The Evil Emperor’s goal was clearly to exhaust Zhu Yanyi. Yan Aohan would not allow this. She would find a way to give the Evil Emperor a chance, mostly to buy Zhu Yanyi time to rest.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Evil Emperor and nodded slightly. "Okay."

As a couple, they planned to advance and retreat together. Since Zhu Yanyi had to enter, Yan Aohan naturally followed.

"Count me in too," the Cloud Emperor said.

The Hua Emperor was stunned, looking at the Cloud Emperor, but said nothing.

"I do not know formations well, but my cloud abilities are versatile. They might be useful," the Cloud Emperor said with a gentle smile.

"Okay, the Cloud Emperor joins," Zhu Yanyi agreed. Her point made sense.

"I will be the fourth," the Immortal Empress said. "My speed is unique."

Speed was indeed important. With speed, one could seize every opportunity.

"If my wife goes, I will go too," the Immortal Emperor said. His light and dark abilities were definitely useful.

"I will be the last one," the Black Emperor said.

"No, the Black Emperor cannot go," Yan Aohan shook his head. "We do not know what the Evil Emperor will do. If he attacks while we are away, your ability to devour his power is too valuable to waste inside."

"In that case, I will go," the Hua Emperor said. "It is not right for only the gods of the Supreme Universe to go."

Hearing this, the gods from other universes felt ashamed. They were not unwilling, but had not thought of it this way.

For Zhu Yanyi, it did not matter who the last person was. Since the Hua Emperor wanted to go, it was settled. The Black Emperor would protect the gods here.

After deciding the team, Zhu Yanyi said, "Let us enter the formation. The thirty-first level is not difficult. I will guide, and you will break the formation."

Zhu Yanyi already had a plan. For levels thirty to sixty, usually no more than four people were needed to break the formation. She would guide, three would break it, and two would rest. They would rotate so the Immortal Emperor and others would not be too tired.

The one who was truly tired was always Zhu Yanyi, because no one could replace her position.

Yan Aohan’s role was to protect Zhu Yanyi and provide her with Spirit Spring and Medicine Spring water so she would not be exhausted.

"Sometimes I do not know whether to praise or despise the Evil Emperor. Resting for half a month every ten levels gives us time to adjust," Zhu Yanyi said. They had reached level fifty. There were ten levels left in the second stage.

"No matter what the Evil Emperor does, she has a purpose. We must be careful," Yan Aohan said. Seeing Zhu Yanyi recover, she felt relieved.

Although there were only six of them, they passed the levels smoothly. Unknowingly, they reached level eighty.

At level eighty, Zhu Yanyi saw the formation and her face grew serious. "This eighty-first level is an 'Evil Level.' The aura inside is demonic. Demonic aura exists to confuse those breaking the level."

Their abilities would not be confused by demonic aura, but Zhu Yanyi worried about the location of the formation eye after passing this level.

She only hoped the formation eye was not too difficult to activate.

Level eighty was not hard, but it took them five years.

After passing level eighty, forty years had passed. Only forty years remained to deal with the eighty-first level.

After passing level eighty, everyone saw that the final level was a formation similar to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

However, unlike the Bagua, this formation had four positions in front, back, left, and right, and two positions in the center. The Evil Emperor sat in one of the center positions.

Yes, the two center positions were clearly the formation eyes.

"Hi, we finally meet. It has been difficult," the Evil Emperor said. He seemed to have lived leisurely for these forty years.

Zhu Yanyi looked at her and said calmly, "Yes, we meet. It has been forty years."

"To be honest, you are fast. I estimated fifty years," the Evil Emperor said insincerely.

"Alright, the final level. I wonder how you will arrange it, Empress Yan. Do you know the price to activate this main eye?" the Evil Emperor asked.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at her. "I do not know your final tricks, but I know that to activate the main eye, we must first activate the four guarding positions: East for Sage, guarded by the Immortal Emperor; South for Yang, guarded by the Hua Emperor; West for Light, guarded by the Immortal Empress; North for Earth, guarded by Aohan. The center is guarded by the Cloud Emperor. Finally, I will activate the main eye."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Evil Emperor. "I hope you can withstand it then."

Zhu Yanyi’s arrangement seemed ordinary, but her last words made the Evil Emperor’s heart jump. She felt she had a conspiracy.

Zhu Yanyi said nothing else. She waved her hand. "Let us break the formation early and go home. Everyone, let us break the formation."

The Immortal Emperor, Hua Emperor, Immortal Empress, and Yan Aohan went to their positions. The Cloud Emperor stepped forward to his position.

Zhu Yanyi did not move forward. Instead, she jumped into the air and sat cross-legged.

"Many do not know that besides being the Medical Emperor and Empress Yan, I am also the Heavenly Punishment Walker and the Heavenly Medical Envoy of the Buddha Realm."

After speaking, she closed her eyes. The cinnabar mole on her forehead instantly turned into a red spider lily, then split into a lotus. Zhu Yanyi flicked the red spider lily with her left hand and the lotus with her right.

The red spider lilies all entered the Cloud Emperor’s position in the center. The lotuses went to the four sides. A clear aura rushed to the sky.

"Righteous Qi!" The Evil Emperor’s face changed. He did not expect it to be Righteous Qi.

She began slapping her hands continuously, trying to expel her evil qi.

Zhu Yanyi ignored her. She continued to sweep the entire space with the Righteous Qi she brought. The four formation feet in the east, south, west, and north began to crumble. Slowly, the formation feet moved along the original path to the center.

The red in the Evil Emperor’s eyes became deeper. She looked at Zhu Yanyi above her. "I only want a chance to start over. Why do you not give me this chance?"

Zhu Yanyi slowly opened her eyes. She had the compassion of a Buddha, the kindness of the Dao, and the majesty of the Heavenly Punishment Walker. A dharma body appeared behind her—a combination of a giant golden red spider lily and a golden lotus. It seemed enchanting, yet holy.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Evil Emperor. "Actually, starting over is not difficult. If you dissipate your power and seal your memories, you can reincarnate. What you cannot let go of is your power. That is why you oppose me today."

The Evil Emperor’s eyes were red like cherry blood. She stared at Zhu Yanyi. "Is that what you think? That if I seal my memories and dissipate my cultivation, I can reincarnate?"

"Others do not have the ability, but my husband and I do. You just never communicated with us properly," Zhu Yanyi said. "I give you one last chance. Dissipate your power and seal your memories."

"No," the Evil Emperor said. "If I dissipate my power and seal my memories, I am no longer me. I have the pride of an Emperor. Even if I die, if I do not establish the right path today, another Evil Emperor will appear."

The Evil Emperor had accepted her fate. She had prepared for so long, yet she was still suppressed by Zhu Yanyi.

"However," the Evil Emperor suddenly laughed. Her wicked smile gave Zhu Yanyi a bad feeling.

"Although I will turn into nothingness, my final trump card will appear." The Evil Emperor laughed loudly. "I hope you enjoy this game. Do not let anyone, no, any god, come to accompany me."

The Evil Emperor emitted a red light. Yan Aohan shouted, "Careful! He is self-destructing!"

Zhu Yanyi created several lotuses with her hands, instantly protecting all the gods. At the same time, Yan Aohan created a barrier to protect everyone.

A blinding red light flashed. Then, red petals fell from the sky, like cherry blossoms or plum blossoms. They were all red, with a slight smell of blood. But the gods knew this was not the Evil Emperor’s blood.

Because the Evil Emperor was an Emperor, his blood must be golden.

Then the Cloud Emperor suddenly said, "Bad news! A qi is rising from the formation eye."

Zhu Yanyi’s face changed. "Everyone be careful! The Evil Emperor has detonated the entire formation."

She suddenly produced the Medicine King Cauldron. "Husband, I need to refine the Mending Heaven Pill. You and everyone help the Cloud Emperor resist this pressure."

"Okay." Yan Aohan immediately went to the Cloud Emperor’s side. He injected divine power into the Cloud Emperor’s position. The Immortal Emperor and other gods also came to inject their divine power.

Zhu Yanyi began to focus on refining the Mending Heaven Pill. At this moment, she was refining a top-grade, supreme Mending Heaven Great Pill, so it would take a long time.

Thirty-three years passed instantly. Even the Black Emperor came to help resist the pressure at the Cloud Emperor’s position, but cracks still appeared.

Looking at Zhu Yanyi, who was meditating in the air refining the pill, everyone smelled the medicinal fragrance. They knew the Mending Heaven Pill was at a critical stage, but this position could not withstand much more divine power.

"I understand," the Cloud Emperor suddenly said. "I understand what the Evil Emperor did."

The gods did not understand why the Cloud Emperor said this. They all looked at him.

"Cloud Emperor, what did you find?" the Black Emperor asked.

"Listen carefully to the sound coming from below this position," the Cloud Emperor said, continuing to output divine power.

The Black Emperor and other gods listened quietly. They heard the sound of waves and thunder mixed together.

"It is Xiangyao," Yan Aohan said.

She was very familiar with the sound of Xiangyao. She had always known the Evil Emperor had taken the escaped Xiangyao. She had wondered where it went. She did not expect it to be here.

"Yes, it is Xiangyao," the Cloud Emperor said seriously. "If I am not mistaken, the Evil Emperor put Xiangyao into the formation eye as part of it. He also gave Xiangyao the divine power he could not digest. Before dying, the Evil Emperor injected his final power into Xiangyao. Xiangyao has nine heads and nine lives. It can disperse various divine powers. It does not worry about indigestion or excessive power."

"Yes, it is indeed Xiangyao," Yan Aohan admitted. "I did not expect Xiangyao to be here."

"If this position shatters, Xiangyao will definitely come out. If Xiangyao comes out, it will be a disaster for the entire Ancient Universe," the Hua Emperor said calmly.

The gods’ divine power was here, but Xiangyao’s ability was strong, especially an adult Xiangyao. With the Evil Emperor’s power, judging by the cracks, Xiangyao would break through soon.

"I have a method to temporarily reinforce this position and stop Xiangyao from coming out," the Cloud Emperor said.

"Cloud Emperor, what do you want to do?" The Hua Emperor felt a very bad premonition.

The Cloud Emperor smiled gently. "I have cloud abilities that change constantly. I can go down through this crack, find Xiangyao, and face it directly."

"You go face Xiangyao. Do you want to die together?" the Hua Emperor asked directly.

The Cloud Emperor smiled. "Do not worry. Unless absolutely necessary, I will not die together. But if it really comes to that, I hope Emperor Yan can collect my soul. Then, I want to reincarnate into the Supreme Universe. Find me a comfortable dimension, with family who loves me, so I can taste what love is."

Yan Aohan pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously at the Cloud Emperor. "If that is the case, I will personally send you down. And when you are reborn, I will personally welcome you back."

"Thank you." The Cloud Emperor looked at the Hua Emperor. "I like that kind of life. Support me."

The Hua Emperor smiled bitterly. "Very well. Go. I wait for your early return."

All the gods present knew that the Cloud Emperor’s chance of returning was very small.

Yan Aohan pinched his hand, threw a red spider lily, and it merged into the Cloud Emperor’s forehead. "This red spider lily can protect your soul’s integrity."

"Thank you." The Cloud Emperor said, then turned into a cloud mist and entered the crack.

The Cloud Emperor saw the fierce appearance of the nine-headed Xiangyao. It clearly wanted to escape.

The Cloud Emperor knew that except for self-destruction, he could not stop Xiangyao. He smiled, turned into infinite cloud threads, wrapped around the nine-headed Xiangyao, and triggered his divine power. A loud bang, like thunder, occurred. A red spider lily appeared, collecting countless cloud threads. It slowly retreated from here, came out of the crack, and fell into Yan Aohan’s hand.

Yan Aohan looked at the Cloud Emperor’s soul sleeping in the red spider lily and showed it to the Hua Emperor. "The soul is complete, with no damage. After this matter is over, I will personally send him to a place suitable for him."

"Okay. Trouble you." This was the Cloud Emperor’s love tribulation. The Cloud Emperor had not said it in life, so the Hua Emperor would not say it either. Seeing his intact soul, he was relieved. He could wait a few thousand years. His friend would still return.

Because of the Cloud Emperor’s sacrifice, the nine-headed Xiangyao was eliminated. Now, they only needed to wait for Zhu Yanyi’s Great Mending Heaven Pill to be completed.

Zhu Yanyi was focused on refining the pill and had excluded all external matters. So she did not know about the Cloud Emperor’s sacrifice.

The last thing to place was the Mending Heaven Stone.

Zhu Yanyi put the Mending Heaven Stone into the Medicine King Cauldron. She used ice-blue fire to refine it continuously, even summoning flames to help refine the Mending Heaven Pill with fire.

The flame’s fire was Yang fire, and the ice-blue fire was Yin fire. With Zhu Yanyi’s proper use of materials, the refinement went smoothly, but the pill did not form.

"Why does it not form?" Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly.

Yan Aohan had a thought. "Wife, is it because your wish is not enough?"

"Wish?" Zhu Yanyi was slightly surprised by Yan Aohan’s words.

"Under the Medical Emperor, there should be Four Kings and Eight Ministers. You have not officially bestowed the divine grids yet. Mending the heaven is the heaven of the universe, not just your heaven. It requires the power of everyone," Yan Aohan said.

Zhu Yanyi understood. She smiled, then threw twelve divine grids into the air.

"I, the only Medical Emperor, summon the Four Kings and Eight Ministers in the name of the Medical Emperor. I appoint Cui Wan of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect in the Immortal Realm as the Medicine King, Zhuge Hongwen as the Wisdom King, Qingyun of the Cultivation Realm as the Poison King, and Zhu Zhibin of the Nine Heavens Alliance as the Protection King. I appoint Wu Han as the Kan Minister, Ma Tianliang as the Xun Minister, Shangguan Haohan as the Kun Minister, Lan Tian as the Qian Minister, Du Yuanlang as the Zhen Minister, Jian Wuhua as the Gen Minister, O
