Chereads / Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension / Chapter 5 - Hall Of Souls, Empress Houtou

Chapter 5 - Hall Of Souls, Empress Houtou

*Wham!*

Before he could speak, Ye Fan was abruptly punched in the face by Tian Yongheng.

The impact sent him flying 10 meters or so, and his nose started to bleed.

"W-what!? A mere Mortal..-"

*Whoosh*

Just as he was about to continue, he felt agonizing pain in his abdomen.

Tian Yongheng had already caught up to him and punched him in the abdomen.

Tian Yongheng had a cold and ruthless look in his eyes.

After hearing about what had happened, he could no longer keep his composure.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

He barreled Ye Fan with attacks from all sides, giving him no chance to fight back.

Wang Xiaomi was deeply shocked seeing this, for she had never thought that Tian Yongheng was so powerful.

"No wonder..."

Wang Xiaomi muttered as she suddenly hit Tian Yongheng from behind on his head with a broken glass bottle she had picked up.

*Bang!*

A shrilling sound of glass being broken was heard in the area.

At the sudden attack of Wang Xiaomi, Tian Yongheng had no way of resisting.

Just as he turned to look at Wang Xiaomi, Ye Fan suddenly attacked Tian Yongheng with a palm strike on his chest, causing him to crash into a wall.

*Woosh* *Bang!*

He was completely helpless right now.

He had no way of resisting.

Wang Xiaomi suddenly came to his side and stabbed him in the stomach with the same broken glass bottle.

*Gush*

He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

He was about to die, without even knowing the reason why.

'Why did Ye Fan and Wang Xiaomi did this?'

This question arose in his heart.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get the answer.

His consciousness was fading away, and he remembered all the happy moments he had in his life.

Today was his Birthday.

"He could've killed me if you weren't here.

I actually can't believe that this guy, who hasn't even opened a single Acupoint, was completely suppressing me, someone who already opened 2 Acupoints. Not just that, my actual strength is already comparable to Fourth or even Fifth Level Acupoint Opening Stage, which is far stronger than what current earth's strongest Ancient Martial Artists are.

Tian Yongheng truly deserves the title of a Supreme Genius."

Ye Fan praised.

"That's indeed the case."

Wang Xiaomi nodded in agreement and continued to say.

"It's a pity..."

Tian Yongheng couldn't hear anything clearly after this, as he was already on the verge of death.

Slowly, his body was turning cold as his consciousness finally completely faded.

His soul, which was completely golden in colour, slowly flew out of his body.

...

Netherworld, Hall of Souls.

A golden soul, which was needless to say Tian Yongheng's, flew in.

A Ghost Immortal that was sending these souls to reincarnate according to their Karma noticed the Abnormality of Tian Yongheng's soul.

Usually, every living beings souls were Grey in colour.

There were no exceptions.

The Ghost Immortal immediately flew out of there and went straight into the main hall of Hall of Souls.

There, a devastatingly beautiful woman who looked to be in her 20's was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall.

She was wearing a purple colored gown that was hiding less than 50% of her lustrous body.

Even though she was really beautiful, there was an aura of Death lingering between her brows, making her look evil.

However, one could tell just by looking at her that she was an ancient being who had lived far longer than anyone could imagine because of the ancient and undying aura emitting of her.

"Empress Houtou."

The Ghost Immortal said extremely respectfully as she bowed and cupped her Fists.

"Mhm, Say it."

The woman who seemed to be called Empress Houtou nodded at the Ghost Immortal and spoke without opening her eyes.

"Empress, there, this Soul..."

The Ghost Immortal showed her Tian Yongheng's Golden Soul as she spoke.

Empress Houtou opened her eyes slowly and discovered the Abnormality of the Golden Soul.

She frowned slightly as she seemed to have thought of something.

She had already seen through his past life and discovered the identity of the people who killed him, but that wasn't much important to her.

"Reincarnate him to the Second Great Mortal World, and Don't forget to seal his memories."

Empress Houtou specifically reminded the Ghost Immortal to seal his memories, which puzzled her a bit as sealing the memories of the souls who came here was a compulsory task.

But what puzzled her even more was that Empress Houtou told her to reincarnate him to the Second Great Mortal World.

However, the Ghost Immortal didn't object to it and quickly bowed and left the main hall.

Empress Houtou looked up at the ceiling, but it was as if she was looking beyond it.

'Just how how far have those guys planned?'

She sighed softly as she thought to herself.

At the same time, in an unknown place.

Thunder rumbled and sky looked as if it was about to be cracked open.
