The Lord of Mount Sumeru Attempts Divination? Dead!

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, vanishing in an instant.

Yet during this time, the major forces outside Everlasting Heaven felt as though the sky had fallen.

With these five days added to the previous three-odd days, nearly nine days had passed. Not to mention anyone coming out of Everlasting Heaven, there had not even been the slightest movement within!

They could not help but suspect that the prodigies who had entered Everlasting Heaven to seize Everlasting Heaven Venerable's inheritance had all died without a single survivor.

"Damn it! Could it be that no one is still alive inside Everlasting Heaven?!"

"I think it's possible. It's been nearly nine days, yet there hasn't been a single disturbance within Everlasting Heaven..."

"Did we come here for nothing?"

The heads of the major forces had all grown somewhat impatient. Some had even begun to consider giving up.

If only their own successors had died, they would naturally be dissatisfied and would have to seek vengeance.

But if every prodigy who had entered Everlasting Heaven had died, they would feel far more balanced.

"No! I refuse to believe that all the prodigies who entered Everlasting Heaven are dead! I will divine it myself and see whether anyone is still alive within!"

Suddenly, a resentful voice rang out through the air.

For a moment, the major forces all turned their gazes toward him.

He was a Buddhist expert from Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert. Buddhist light shrouded his entire body, scriptures of Buddhism flowing around him. His dharma image was solemn, and though he was not angry, he inspired awe.

He was Fahai, the Lord of Mount Sumeru, the Buddhist sacred land. At Saint King Peak, he had already stepped half a foot into the Supreme realm. He was incomparably terrifying and unfathomable, hailed as the strongest expert of the present age in the Western Desert.

"It is actually Lord Fahai of Mount Sumeru! His Buddhist Dao has already reached great accomplishment. If he performs the divination, the truth will easily come to light!"

"Lord Fahai, quickly divine it! We are all waiting for the truth!"

Upon seeing that the one who spoke was Fahai, the major forces all looked at him excitedly, their eyes burning.

"Do not panic, everyone. Let this humble monk employ the Great Vehicle Buddhist Dharma and carefully divine the matter. Whether anyone remains in Everlasting Heaven, and who they are—every question shall be answered one by one!"

Fahai spoke, then pressed his palms together. Buddhist light shone everywhere around him, and behind him emerged the phantom of a mighty Buddhist figure as he immediately began his divination!

"This is bad. If that bald donkey divines it, Xuan'er may truly be in danger!"

"This is bad. Ling Shuang is going to be exposed!"

Seeing Fahai begin his divination, the people of both the Jiang Family and the Heavenly Demon Sect grew alarmed, their hearts becoming uneasy.

"Can that bald donkey even divine anything clearly?"

On the Jiang Family's side, Jiang Wuhui's gaze was deep as he stared intently at Fahai.

He calculated in his heart whether he should act now and interrupt Fahai's divination.

Then, in the very next second.

Jiang Wuhui knew there was no need for him to act!

Fahai's face grew increasingly pale as he continued divining.

Only a few seconds passed.

Pfft!

Fahai's expression suddenly changed drastically. Caught off guard, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned utterly pale in an instant.

It was as though all the essence in his body had been drained away. His life aura weakened drastically, and he swayed as if on the verge of collapse, like a man nearing the end of his life.

"Lord! What happened to you?!"

The many Mount Sumeru experts behind Fahai all changed expression in shock and hurried forward to support him.

"Variables... cannot be divined... I saw a chaos, and within it, nothingness..."

Fahai's life aura continued to drain away as he suffered an immense backlash of karma.

"What? Even Lord Fahai cannot divine the scene within Everlasting Heaven?"

"Could it be because Everlasting Heaven conceals the secrets of heaven? But even so, it should not have come to this, should it?"

The experts of the major forces were all startled by this outcome as well. They could not understand what had caused Fahai, the Lord of Mount Sumeru, to end up in such a state.

Pfft!

Suddenly, Fahai spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed into the arms of two Mount Sumeru experts.

"Lord!!"

All the Mount Sumeru experts were horrified. In an instant, they panicked and stepped forward to examine Fahai's condition.

But it would have been better if they had not examined him.

The moment they did, the Mount Sumeru experts all fell into a daze, their faces filled with grief as they wept bitterly.

The Lord of Mount Sumeru, the Buddhist sacred land of this generation, had actually had his life aura completely extinguished!

"The Lord is dead? How is that possible?! Under heaven, who could cause the Lord to fall? Could it be... that an unimaginable terrifying existence lies within Everlasting Heaven?!"

"Lord, how could you die so suddenly?!"

The Mount Sumeru experts wailed in grief, overwhelmed with sorrow.

Even in their dreams, they had never imagined that Fahai, the lord they regarded as a god, would fall in such a manner. It had completely caught them unprepared.

"The Lord of Mount Sumeru has fallen. What exactly happened? Could some great terror truly exist within Everlasting Heaven?"

Having witnessed Fahai's death with their own eyes, the experts of the major forces felt an ominous premonition rise in their hearts.

Fahai was a Saint King Peak expert.

If someone could make him fall through karmic backlash alone, could the one who acted possibly be an Emperor?!

At this thought, an idea of perhaps we should just forget it involuntarily arose in the hearts of the major forces' experts.

Across the entire scene, only the people of two forces felt fortunate.

Those two forces were, without question, the Jiang Family and the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"That fellow from Mount Sumeru has fallen. Though I do not know what happened, at least Xuan'er is safe now..."

On the Jiang Family's side, Jiang Wuhui, Jiang Ruochen, and the other Jiang Family experts all could not help but breathe a sigh of relief at this sight.

"That old bald donkey from Mount Sumeru is dead. Heh heh, serves him right. Who told him to try divining Ling Shuang..."

In a corner where no one noticed, Lian Nishang, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, murmured softly to herself, a smile appearing on her face.
