Chapter 625: Chapter 597: The Ultimate Meeting of the Three Sages
“Hea… ”
“Ven…”
The old fisherman whispered these two words, his expression was somewhat confused at first.
As he kept repeating them, it seemed as though he remembered something, a faint glint flickered in his cloudy eyes.
“I am… ”
“Heaven Extermination?”
With the Fisherman’s memory gradually recovering, the Black Evil Aura that had been undulating around him became even more intense.
It even started to spread out from his body, like a rolling black tide.
However, all the Black Evil Aura shied away of its own accord before it reached the Celestial Doctor.
Between the two, it formed a large open area.
The Celestial Doctor was indifferent to the spread of the aura. He only looked at the still fuzzy Heaven Extermination and seemed slightly surprised.
“Hasn’t his memory recovered? How is it…”
The Celestial Doctor’s gaze flickered, about to make a move.
But suddenly, a loud reading voice came from the distance.
“The heavenly law is unyielding, I bow and observe in respect.”
“I have received the law now, I will preach it to all beings.”
“The heavenly law cannot be violated.”
The expression on the face of the Celestial Doctor finally showed a significant change.
With his eyes narrowed, he looked in the direction from which the sound was coming.
“Mou!”
Suddenly and unexpectedly, a Blue Ox the size of a small hill appeared in front of him.
With its horns raised, and hooves moving, it was as if it was charging at a high speed.
It wanted to kill the Celestial Doctor head-on.
“Wild beast!” The Celestial Doctor let out a cold hum.
He didn’t dodge or evade, but there seemed to be a spark of silver light in his right hand.
The silver light transformed into a thin line and shot like a thunderbolt into the Blue Ox’s body.
In an instant, it shot through the Blue Ox a hundred times, a thousand times.
Already, the Blue Ox had been shot through numerous times.
At this moment, the Blue Ox had been cut into countless indistinguishable fragments, but it still maintained the momentum of charging forward.
The fragments scattered across the sky.
“Coagulate!”
A loud shout rang out.
A moment later, the Blue Ox, which had originally been dismembered by the Celestial Doctor, surprisingly “came back to life”, its original appearance suddenly reappeared from the scattered flesh and blood.
It jumped above the Celestial Doctor’s head, its hooves about to stomp down.
The Celestial Doctor still didn’t move.
But just before the Blue Ox touched the Celestial Doctor, its body shrunk dramatically.
From a mature, strong ox to a newborn calf in the blink of an eye.
Finally, it turned into a wisp of spirit and dissipated between Heaven and Earth.
“Tian Yu…” The Celestial Doctor looked in the direction where the Blue Ox had appeared, showing a playful expression.
A transparent figure with white hair, an elderly physique, and the appearance of a dragon bell, appeared there just in time.
“Master!”
“Master!”
With the appearance of Tian Yu, the group of people in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, who had been suppressed and dared not make a move by the Celestial Doctor and Heaven Extermination, all seemed to have found a backer at this moment.
Without any concerns anymore, they kept yelling.
“Ah…”
Tian Yu sighed lightly, like a comforting gesture, he waved his large sleeve.
The screaming inside the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters subsided a few degrees for the moment, and only then did he cast his gaze on the Celestial Doctor and Heaven Extermination in the field.
Clap, clap, clap.
The celestial doctor began to clap slowly.
“What…”
“A coincidence.”
Without looking at the two who were subtly surrounding him, the Celestial Doctor simply looked up, as if he was searching for something.
There was a thoughtful expression on his face.
“Celestial Doctor!”
A moment later, it was Tian Yu who eventually could not contain himself.
“You’ve been hiding for so many years, finally willing to show yourself?”
His voice was like thunder, filled with endless anger, echoing continuously in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
“Hmph.”
Celestial Doctor only harrumphed in response, not answering.
Such an attitude of contempt drove Tian Yu to a rage.
“In that case, there’s nothing more to say. Accept your fate!”
“Sky Extermination, strike now!”
The elderly fisherman was still in a state of confusion.
However, with the master’s angry shout, the two seem to have coordinated like old comrades for many years.
In perfect sync, the Sky Slaughter Sword was drawn from its sheath the next moment.
Even though it was a broken sword, the overflowing sword air poured from the sword continuously. It was condensed but not dispersed, shaping itself into the form of a sword.
From the depth of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, a tremendous tremor came.
Turtle-Snake Taiyi let out a painful wail, as the Heaven Killing Sword Hilt, sensing the call of its master, was on the verge of tearing out of the turtle snake monster.
But at that moment, an azure radiance enveloped the entire Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
A giant blue hand restrained the restless Heaven Killing Sword Hilt, pushing it back in.
Taiyi let out an earth-shattering wail once again.
Then, like a suppressed beast, the sound grew quieter and quieter, falling back into slumber.
“The ancestral master of Hanhai?”
In several areas of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, there were sporadic cries of surprise.
“At last, someone lucid,” muttered the Celestial Doctor coldly.
The next second, the azure ocean in the sky suddenly shrank, coalescing into a wavering silhouette that seemed about to shatter at any moment.
It approached the Celestial Doctor and his group.
“Greetings to the Venerables,” he said, neither submissively nor arrogantly.
“Hanhai, what is this all about?”
Seeing Hanhai’s peculiar behaviour, Tian Yu suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
“The murderer is right before us, why do you not avenge the blood feud from back then?”
“The master has a point, a blood debt surely needs to be paid back with blood. But…”
Hanhai did not look at the Celestial Doctor, instead turning to the fisherman, who was still somewhat confused and clutched the sword.
“The destruction of my Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters back then was not done by the Celestial Doctor…”
“…but by Sky Extermination!”
Hanhai’s words seemed to carry boundless resentment.
The blue afterimage of Hanhai began to tremble violently.
He glared at the offender, turbulent waves seeming to rage inside him.
“Hmm?” Tian Yu was taken aback, then sighed and shook his head.
“Hanhai, you’ve still been affected by the passage of time, even your memories of that year have become distorted.”
“The executioner who took advantage of the defenseless rear and slaughtered all major factions, if it’s not this traitor, then who is it?”
Tian Yu looked at the Celestial Doctor, the flame of hatred in his eyes reigniting.
“One person can make a mistake. Could it be that the fallen souls of that day were all confused?”
“As for the other factions, I don’t know. I can’t concern myself with them either,” Hanhai stubbornly retorted, shaking his head.
“However, the one who destroyed my Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters back then was definitely Sky Extermination!’
He stated with utmost certainty.
“Even though outwardly he looked like the Celestial Doctor, even his aura was the same.”
“But the approach of annihilating everything, and that cold, silent demeanor, could not have been feigned by the Celestial Doctor.”
“Most importantly, the murder weapon used that day is the same Sky Kill Heavy Weapon, which is currently suppressed inside Taiyi’s body.”
“Apart from the Tianjie Venerable, no one else could handle the Sky Kill heavy weapon.’
Upon hearing this, even the master seemed somewhat hesitant.
He turned to look at Sky Extermination.
As if Hanhai’s words had stirred up some hidden recollections from the deep realms of his spirit consciousness,
Sky Extermination kept staring at his own hands, dumbfounded.
After a long while, he suddenly spoke.
“Yes, I did it…”
“What!” The master’s hunched body instantly straightened. He looked in disbelief at the fisherman in front of him who had just confessed.
