Chapter 1983: DespairTranslator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Suspended Sea reversed its flow. The water surface seemed like a mirror. At this moment, a group of people walked out from there. There were two people in the lead and these two were none other than the tomb keepers of the Divine Mausoleum.
At the moment they came out, they inclined their heads and stared at the blue skies. They couldn’t help but have a mesmerized look on their faces. It has been so many years, they finally exited. And now, their cultivations have reached a very high level as well.
During the years spent inside the Divine Mausoleum, the states of their hearts changed quite a lot. Their temperaments became milder than before but this didn’t mean that they had forgotten what happened in the past.
“Uncle Black.” The tomb keeper called out. Behind him, an old man walked over. At this moment, although the old man looked very calm, he was actually suppressing the pounding of his heart. They had exited, ever since their master led them into the forbidden ground the Divine Mausoleum, their master became the tomb keeper and his cultivation continued to grow stronger. His cultivation of two lifetimes fused together, and given the excellent cultivating conditions of the Divine Mausoleum, he understood his master was much stronger compared to before.
“It has been hard on you through these years.” The tomb keeper spoke.
“Master, this is something I ought to do originally. Young master has inherited master’s talent, he would surely not disappoint master.”
The middle-aged man revealed a smile on his face. On his sharply contoured face, one could tell that he must be really good looking when he was younger.
“Naturally, I already know roughly how he is now from the conversation between those two in the Divine Mausoleum.”
Upon thinking of the two of them, Uncle Black frowned as he spoke, “That young man is clearly a descendant of the Qin Clan. Given Master’s current cultivation, the Divine Mausoleum wouldn’t be able to restrict you. Why did master allow him to stay in the Divine Mausoleum?”
The middle-aged man glanced at Uncle Black before he calmly spoke, “That young man should be his son. Since that’s the case, even if the rules of the Divine Mausoleum didn’t restrict me, I wouldn’t do anything to him either. He can return after his cultivation base grows stronger. At that time, I will personally pay a visit to the Qin Clan.”
Uncle Black’s gaze flashed. He then nodded. This was his master’s personality, he could even allow the son of his enemy to grow stronger.
The people of the world could finally see everything, they could see what sort of character his master had. All the debts from back then would be concluded, transformed into dust.
When he thought of this, excitement involuntarily filled his heart. Currently, how strong has that little brat grown to? He was truly filled with anticipation.
At this moment, the middle-aged man took out his messaging crystal and softly spoke, “Now that we are out, there are no longer restrictions due to the forbidden ground. The voice transmission crystals can work again.”
The Divine Mausoleum was a special place that could block out divine sense. With such a powerful barrier, it caused Qin Zheng to be unable to contact Qin Dangtian. The middle-aged man also had no way to contact his daughter. But now since he has left the Divine Mausoleum, the crystals worked again.
“Kexin.” He sent a strand of divine sense into his messaging crystal.
At this moment, Qin Kexin was currently battling Qin Zheng in the Heaven Vault. When she heard the voice in her mind, a bright light gleamed in her eyes. After that, she didn’t say anything and simply took out her messaging crystal, making it float in the air as light radiated from it, capturing all the scenes here to be transmitted to the middle-aged man’s mind via divine sense. Such transmission could cross countless distances, it was like he could personally see the deity-level battles in the Heaven Vault. Naturally, he also saw Qin Kexin’s current opponent.
“Qin Zheng.” The tomb keeper coldly spoke. How dramatic. Kexin was actually fighting against Qin Zheng. The middle-aged man then shifted his attention to the other battlefields, wanting to find the figure of someone. However, he didn’t manage to find it. He only saw several deities fighting inside here.
This place seemed to be the interior of the Heaven Vault. In the starry space, the nine heavenly layers could be seen.
“Child.” The tomb keeper clenched his fist. He knew that if someone could open the Heaven Vault, that person would be none other than ‘him.’ It was the only possibility.
In that case, the divine battle must have occurred because of ‘him’ as well.
At this moment, a voice rang out in his mind. This voice belonged to Qin Kexin, she was telling him the reason for this deity-level battle as well as those who participated in it. When he heard this, the calm aura from the tomb keeper disappeared completely as a shocking might radiated forth from him. Those people around him felt their hearts clenching at the pressure.
The eyes of the beautiful middle-aged woman beside him turned towards him as she asked softly, “What happened?”
“Look at this.” He transmitted the scenes in his mind to the woman via his divine sense. Very soon, she also saw everything. Great waves of shock arose in her heart as she lost her calm as well. She also saw an extremely familiar figure. That figure was none other than her father. To think that he was also actually there, participating in the deity-level battle.
“Some of them are injured.” She softly spoke, feeling somewhat worried. Although she didn’t know who the majority of these people were, they most probably had a connection with her son.
“I will head over there now.” The tomb keeper stood in the air. His eyes suddenly closed as a fearsome energy radiated from him. In this instant, in the air, resplendent astral light actually cascaded down, bathing him in it.
“Borrowing the dao from the starry space.” The middle-aged man spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, the astral light grew even more resplendent as an illusory figure left his body, flying up towards the nine heavenly layers.

At this moment, there were indeed people who were already injured in the deity-level battle.
After Beiming Youhuang killed the two heavenly deities, she suffered heavy injuries. Even her soul was enduring a backlash, those heavenly deities surrounding her counterattacked madly.
Qing`er and the others went to protect her, they stayed around Beiming Youhuang to guard her from attacks. The white-haired killing goddess killed her way into the throng of heavenly deities and everywhere her divine sword slashed by, no one dared to contend against her. But as Beiming Youhuang’s soul attacks weakened, the heavenly deities from the various hegemonic powers could finally give it their all and concentrate on the battle. They were no longer so easily dealt with. Dao might from the various dao arts descended, causing Qing`er and the others to feel great pressure.
Qi Yu of the Battle Saint Tribe fought frenziedly, he was like a single man intent on holding a pass against a thousand, protecting everyone. This was a responsibility he had to take on. But it was precisely because he flew all the way to the front and fought so crazily that he was so seriously injured. Bloody wounds covered his body, revealing the whiteness of his bones. This scene was a shocking sight but the battle intent radiating from him was shocking to the extreme. Experts of the Battle Saint Tribe would fight all the way to the end, their battle intent would never diminish until they die.
Bai Qing was also one of the most seriously injured one. She fought too crazily as well, transforming her body into a sea of blood, ignoring injuries to herself as she killed their enemies. She didn’t seem to fear death at all. Such craziness naturally resulted in her suffering heavy injuries.
“Gradually, even her blood seemed to have almost dried out. But even so, her gaze was as cold as ever, shining with blood-colored light. She was screaming her heart, “Wentian gege, where are you? Are you okay?”
“AHHH!” A roar suddenly rang out, this roar belonged to Qi Yu. An enemy’s dao heart slammed into his chest, tearing it apart. There was now a cavity in his chest area as blood flowed out profusely. He inclined his head and stared at the sky, “Saint Lord, I’ve tried my best.”
The heavenly deities of the Heaven Vault were completely surrounded. Storms of destruction raged all around them, like their day of apocalypse has finally arrived. Many of them felt despair, the other experts on their sides were tangled up, they had no way to help them. There were still so many people here below the deity realm that needed their protection but they were hard-pressed to even defend themselves. How could they not feel despair?
Was the Heaven Vault really going to be destroyed?
That legendary young man, did he really no longer have a way to return?
The destructive storms continued raging, the dao arts were unleashed again and again. The eyes of the attacking heavenly deities were filled with coldness and bloodthirst. During this bout of battle, they lost another two deities again. Despite their overwhelming superiority in terms of numbers, several of their own actually fell here. How shameful was this? Luckily, things were about to end. The Heaven Vault’s deities gradually lost their combat strength but even so, they couldn’t afford to be careless. There were quite a few lunatics among that group from the Heaven Vault.
“Qin Wentian you bastard. This monk hasn’t lived enough yet.” Monk Bujie cursed at the air. Although he was someone from the Askheart Temple that has converted to the devil path, his personality was still the same, lecherous and shameless. But at this moment, the devil intent from him was fading rapidly, he was completely covered in blood. Clearly, he was like an arrow at the end of its flight.
At this moment, Qin Wentian who was exceedingly faraway seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly felt intense pain in his heart as a strong sense of unease welled up. He wasn’t even so frightened when he was imprisoned by the western paradise. But right now, he truly felt terror.
The Heaven Vault has opened, and much time has passed since the experts from the hegemonic powers killed their way in. What was the situation within like?
He didn’t dare to imagine it. Although his speed was already extremely fast, the distance between the western paradise and the Heaven Vault was simply too far. He still needed some time. He might not make it in time, this was why he felt fear.
But even so, he unleashed his speed to the fullest and let out a beast-like howl. He madly burned his energy as he sped towards the Heaven Region. The fear in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
“Wentian.” All of a sudden, a voice rang out in his mind. Qin Wentian’s body trembled violently. Although his messaging crystal was destroyed by the western paradise, he was still able to receive the messages from Qing`er and the others. His divine sense was recorded in their messaging crystals and this voice in his mind was none other than Qing`er’s.
“Qing`er.” Qin Wentian clenched his fists, the terror in his heart grew even stronger when he heard her voice.
“I love you.” A soft voice rang out, filled with so much tenderness and love. There was no trace of coldness, only warmth.
“AHHHHHHHHH, wait for me!” Qin Wentian let out a long howl as he madly sped over. However, he grew increasingly fearful that he wouldn’t make it in time.
“Wentian…” Another voice rang out, sounding extremely weak. This time, this voice didn’t belong to Qing`er.
“Youhuang!” Qin Wentian felt pain in his heart. They sent him messages one after another at this moment. Could it be that they were at the end of their ropes?
“I like you…” Her words caused Qin Wentian’s heart to pound violently. He roared in rage, “I KNOW, I KNOW!”
He felt hatred in his heart. He hated himself, he clearly knew Youhuang’s feelings about him but he has never taken the initiative although he felt the same way. He hated himself for being useless.
Despair festered in his heart. Although he wasn’t present, he could imagine what sort of situation his loved ones in the Heaven Vault were facing. If they weren’t in desperate straits, how would Qing`er and Youhuang say those things? Even for Qing`er, she has never stated it verbally before!
