Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1717: Chapter 1756: Book of Life and Death

After much deliberation, the Hell Realm Master’s avatar raised a hand and grasped, "Come!"

The Hell Realm trembled.

Soon, a black scripture scroll flew from the Hell Realm, landing in her palm.

Jiang Fan glanced at it, thinking it was the "Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture."

But this black scroll was a real magic artifact, exuding indescribable oppressive power.

A world artifact, indeed!

The Hell Realm Master’s avatar held the scroll, eyes filled with hesitation.

Gritting her teeth, she reluctantly tossed it to Jiang Fan, saying, "Take it!"

Jiang Fan caught it in one swift motion, a biting cold sensation of death seeped into his heart.

He looked at the scroll bound with a purple cord, uncertain of its contents.

Seeing Jiang Fan’s curious expression, she snorted, "This isn’t something you can touch."

"This is one of the ten world artifacts of my Hell Realm, the ’Book of Life and Death’!"

"It can reflect a person’s life and death, fortune and disaster, and can rewrite their fate, sever their life, making them die instantly if willed."

"But, it’s something only the Asura Clan can wield, other clans touching it would suffer backlash."

"If you don’t want to die, worship it properly and never touch it."

She indeed handed over the artifact as collateral, but she brought an artifact unusable by the Human Clan.

This way, it minimizes the harm of artifacts found outside.

Oh?

Jiang Fan was moved, could this artifact reflect his fate?

Could it be rewritten?

Could his and the Six-Path Masters’ doomed fate be altered too?

As for only the Asura Clan being able to use it, isn’t that easy?

Youran cultivates the Asura Clan’s lineage.

Green Pearl, our little wife, is purebred Asura Clan, and she listens to me completely.

Her holding the artifact is no different from me holding it.

Of course, Jiang Fan had to feign disappointment and sighed:

"Senior, can you change it for another world artifact? I promise just to look and not use it."

Seeing Jiang Fan’s disappointed look, the Hell Realm Master’s avatar felt her annoyance dissipate quite a bit.

This pesky kid wanted to swindle her artifact?

Heh heh, let him sulk with the useless artifact.

She extended her hand and said, "Give me the Peace Monument."

Jiang Fan reluctantly took out the Peace Monument and tossed it to her.

The Hell Realm Master’s avatar caught it directly, cautiously looked up at the sky, and upon seeing the Saint did not intervene, she slightly relaxed.

She silently thought, "This is Central Earth, a land of civilization."

"If it were in my Hell Realm, how could anyone be so honest and fair?"

She examined the Peace Monument, confirming its authenticity, and sensing the word "scram," an unimaginable authority surged from it, inducing a feeling of reverence.

This was indeed the Peace Monument!

Suppressing her joy, she put away the Peace Monument, swiftly opened the barrier of the world, and cast a meaningful glance at Jiang Fan, saying:

"You are forever a friend to my Hell Realm."

"On behalf of the billions of living beings in the Hell Realm, I thank you!"

The Peace Monument was handed over to the Hell Realm just like that.

Hahaha.

Central Earth has encountered someone as foolish and shortsighted as Jiang Fan, truly their misfortune.

After speaking, she swiftly disappeared into the Void Rift, returning to the Hell Realm.

Jiang Fan watched her leave, eyed the closing rift, the ground re-covered the crack, and he exhaled deeply.

"Finally left!"

He almost became a sacrifice.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan irritably took out the Moon Realm, typing a string of words.

"Taking a good name: Red Sleeves! Come forth!"

Soon, the Moon Realm replied.

"Glasses: ?"

"Taking a good name: Why didn’t you tell me summoning a realm master’s avatar requires a sacrifice? You almost got me killed!"

Initially, it was Red Sleeves who told him the true function of the Hell Beast Bronze Artifact.

However, it was not mentioned that a sacrifice was needed.

"Glasses: The ancient texts only wrote this much... Wait, you summoned a realm master’s avatar?"

"Taking a good name: Yes, a very unreasonable woman!"

"Glasses: Did she... kill the Compassionate Sage?"

Jiang Fan glanced at the headless body of the Compassionate Sage and then at the sky.

"Taking a good name: Not entirely sure, even though he’s body and soul annihilated, no Spirit Rain has descended from the sky."

He recalled clearly, when Wu Gou fell, a Spirit Rain beneficial to the Nascent Soul Realm descended.

But now, with Compassionate Sage’s fall, there was no Spirit Rain at all.

Is it because he hasn’t completely died?

"Glasses: He probably left a remnant soul elsewhere, sages of this level always have multiple safeguards."

"Glasses: The realm master’s avatar didn’t do anything to you, did she?"

"Taking a good name: She took my Peace Monument."

"Glasses: Oh!"

"Death Diary: Oh!!"

"West Palace: Oh!!"

"Flower Cluster: Oh!!!"

"Never Spoils the Scenery: Oh!!!"

"Flowers in bloom: Oh, such a pity!"

Everyone sighed deeply.

Jiang Fan’s hard-earned Peace Monument was just taken by the Hell Realm.

All hard work, ultimately a bridal gown for the Hell Realm.

At this moment, the Moon Realm chimed again.

"Taking a good name: It was a fake Peace Monument copied by Memory Silver Sand."

Eh?

The Moon Realm buzzed with intensive beeping noises.

"Glasses: ???"

"Death Diary: ???"

"West Palace: ???"

"Flower Cluster: ???"

"Never Spoils the Scenery: ???"

"Flowers in bloom: ???"

"Glasses: You dare deceive even the Hell Realm Master’s avatar?"

"Taking a good name: She didn’t set a clear price, used me up then asked for outrageous payment, isn’t that clear fraud?"

The Moon Realm went silent for a while, just when Jiang Fan thought everyone had dispersed, the Moon Realm chimed again.

"Glasses: I don’t even know how to assess your audacity, good thing that realm master didn’t lose much, probably just a bit angry."

Jiang Fan glanced at the scattered treasures, touching his chin.

"Taking a good name: As a Hell Realm Master, no matter how angry she gets, it won’t affect my enjoyment in Central Earth, right?"

Hmm?

Taicang Great State, Qingli Mountain.

Red Sleeves, who should have returned to the Heavenly Realm, actually stayed, lurking near the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

She adjusted her glasses, sensing vaguely that Jiang Fan’s tone was off.

"Glasses: What did you take from her?"

"Taking a good name: I didn’t take, she gifted me, not much, just a Merit Divine Stele, a new Hell Beast Bronze Artifact, a share of her cause and effect."

After a pause, the Moon Realm chimed again.

"Taking a good name: Oh, she also placed a world artifact as collateral."

Red Sleeves covered her red lips, apricot eyes widened!

Collateral with what?

World artifact?

Using a fake Peace Monument to swindle the Hell Realm Master’s world artifact?

The Moon Realm erupted again with intensive sounds.

"Death Diary: !!!"

"West Palace: !!!"

"Flower Cluster: !!!"

"Never Spoils the Scenery: !!!"

"Flowers in bloom: !!!"

"Glasses: You are doomed!"

"Taking a good name: If I don’t go to the Hell Realm, what can she do to me?"

Jiang Fan shrugged, completely unafraid.

The Hell Realm Master’s avatar said she came to Central Earth with the Ancient Saint’s permission.

This means Central Earth isn’t a place she can just come to.

So long as he doesn’t go to the Hell Realm, he’s safe.

Besides, why would he ever go to the Hell Realm?

Never in this lifetime!

He collected all the Hell Realm treasures he had snatched, and also put away his own Immortal King’s Undying Bell and other artifacts.

Finally, he gazed at the Compassionate Sage’s corpse, slightly frowning:

"Where would this guy hide his remnant soul?"

"If not eliminated, it’ll remain a future threat."
