Chapter 1004 - Heaven's Regulation "What the hell did you do just now? How did you open the Stairway to Heaven?" Lord Ji questioned Yuan after the shocking event. "If you tell me why I am being hunted and I will tell you." He said. "I already told you— I am only upholding Heaven's judgment. I don't know what you did, but I know that you must die." "That doesn't really answer my question, so my question remains unanswered." Yuan shrugged. "If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. You'll regret not leaving just now because that was your only chance to survive even a little longer!" Lord Ji smiled. "Only a little longer? What can you do to me once I ascend to the Third Heaven?" Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Hahaha! You're really foolish and ignorant! Do you really think that you'll be able to escape from punishment just because you escape to another Heaven? In case you forgot, my Ji Family exists in the other Heavens as well! As long as you remain alive, you will be hunted by the Nine Heavens!" "Now you're telling me that I am going to be hunted by the Nine Heavens? That doesn't make any sense. You're making it sound like I am an Exile." 'Oh? So he knows about Exiles? How surprising.' Lord Ji appeared to be genuinely surprised that Yuan knew about Exiles, mostly because they are only ever mentioned in the upper heavens. "I wouldn't compare myself to Exiles if I were in your shoes, Yuan. As an Exile, at least I can be pardoned by completing the Supreme Heaven's Legacy. However, your situation is different. There are no second chances— no opportunity for you to be pardoned! The Heavens have already dictated you as a dead man! No matter where you go in the Nine Heavens, you will be hunted by those who serve the Heavens!" Yuan frowned upon hearing this. He will be hunted no matter where he went in the Nine Heavens? What did he do to deserve such a punishment? Furthermore, even if he can defeat everyone here today, it will be much harder for him to ascend now that the entire world is suddenly against him. "So you will kill me today no matter what, is that correct?" Yuan asked for confirmation. "That's right." Lord Ji confirmed. "Young Master, no matter what you did, even if the entire world is your enemy, I will forever be your loyal servant." Feng Yuxiang suddenly said to him in a calm voice. "Xiao Hua will always be with Brother Yuan as well." Xiao Hua said. "I swore my loyalty to you, Yuan. Even if the Heavens are against you, I shall fight by your side." Lan Yingying said. Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm really glad to have the three of you by my side." He then turned to look at Lord Ji and said, "As much as I want to kill everyone here for wanting to kill me, I am not that ruthless, so consider yourselves lucky." Yuan knocked on the door to the Stairway to Heaven the next moment, causing it to open again. "Let's go. There's no need to waste our time and effort on these idiots." Lord Ji was shocked to see that Yuan had managed to open the Stairway to Heaven again, but he wasn't going to let Yuan enter like the girls. He suddenly retrieved a golden medallion and activated his spiritual energy, "Heaven's Regulation!" Yuan, who was only a step from entering the Stairway to Heaven, suddenly felt an immense pressure that even he could not resist, and he was immediately brought down to his knees. "Young Master?!" Feng Yuxiang and the others were shocked to see Yuan in such a condition. "I did not think I needed to use this treasure so early. However, since you were on the verge of escaping, I had no choice." Lord Ji said after taking a deep breath, feeling relieved that he managed to stop Yuan on time. 'What an immense pressure! What did he do to me?!' Yuan slowly turned his head to look at the medallion in Lord Ji's grasp. Yuan's eyes widened when he saw the golden medallion. However, this was his first time seeing such an item. Despite that, he felt like he had seen it before, and he could feel something welling up inside him. 'This feeling…' He recognized this emotion very well. It was the feeling of anger— intense anger that could burn even the Heavens, and the only time he would feel this kind of emotion is when the Evil God appears. Yuan's eyes slowly started turning blood red as the insane amount of anger started pumping his heart with adrenaline. "Heaven's Regulation... I will… destroy the… Heavens!" Yuan muttered in a low but resolute voice. "DAMN HEAVENS' PUPPETS! I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!" Yuan suddenly released a deafening roar that caused a ripple that contained intense killing intent to appear, sweeping the area with his terrifying killing intent. Everyone below Spirit Master coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground after experiencing Yuan's killing intent that came only from his voice alone. "What happened?!" Lord Ji and the others were shocked by Yuan's surprise attack that instantly took down all of their Spirit Warriors and Spirit Apprentices, which added up to over 100,000 casualties. A pair of beautiful yet ominous crimson wings suddenly sprouted from Yuan's back. Lord Ji and everyone there were horrified when they saw the crimson wings created from killing intent. Even Xiao Hua and the other two couldn't help but tremble before the majestic wings that were drooling red miasma. 'How is it possible for someone to have so much killing intent?! Just how many people did he kill?!' Lord Ji cried inwardly after seeing Yuan's devil-like appearance, feeling a strong urge to turn around and run the opposite direction. Yuan slowly stood back up and turned to look at Lord Ji with a cold glare that could freeze even the Yellow Springs of the dead. "Heavens' puppet… You will regret showing your face before my presence."
