I Shall Seal the Heavens - chapter-998

A brutal attack!

“Xiushan!!” When Fang Heshan saw what happened, his face filled with
grief. He threw his head back and howled. Were it not for the Grand Elder
going all out to block his way, he would have instantly charged towards
Meng Hao.

As of this moment, all of the cultivators of the various sects and clans
of the Ninth Mountain and Sea were staring in complete shock at what was
happening. They already knew that Meng Hao was incredibly powerful, but
when they saw him kill Fang Xiushan, they were completely shaken on a
deep and profound level.

They looked at Meng Hao, eyes wide with jealousy.

“He’s a powerful expert who has surpassed everyone in his generation,
and can even fight with people in the Ancient Realm!”

“It’s too bad that he’s going to perish because of the upheaval in
the Fang Clan….”

“If he doesn’t die in this battle, then his future… will be
unimaginable!” Gasps could be heard throughout the Ninth Mountain and
Sea as Fang Xiushan died.

The disbelief on his face in the moments before death was clear. He was
in the Ancient Realm, with two extinguished Soul Lamps. And yet, he died
at the hands of an Immortal Realm cultivator. He had come to exact
vengeance for his Wei’er, and in the end… had himself been
annihilated.

From the moment he had learned that Meng Hao was returning to the clan,
he had wanted to kill him. From the ambush out in the starry sky, to the
way he had targeted Meng Hao in the clan, to the attempt on his life in
the Ancestral Land, all of that proved that he and Meng Hao were as
incompatible as fire and water.

Even more lamentable was that it wasn’t until the moment he died that
he realized who his true enemy was. It wasn’t Meng Hao. It was the
Sixth Patriarch.

Perhaps Fang Xiushan did know. Perhaps he had known all along what would
happen. And yet, in his mind, perhaps… he truly felt that allowing the
Sixth Patriarch to possess his son would be an honor for Fang Wei.

Perhaps his way of thinking was madness, or perhaps not. In any case, it
was no longer important.

Everything was settled by Meng Hao in his current state. The wave of a
hand, the unleashing of a divine ability!

Meng Hao suddenly reached a certain enlightenment.

“Perhaps… all machinations and plots can be foiled with the wave of a
hand by a powerful expert? Perhaps everything can even be reversed? If
so, then will all of the upheaval in the Fang Clan… be changed by the
wave of some powerful expert’s hand?” Meng Hao looked around at the
Fang Clan and the unceasing slaughter that was being carried out. None of
the recent turns of events did anything to stop the carnage. Blood flowed
everywhere, and screams of terror and rage floated about constantly. It
was impossible to tell who was winning or losing, but it was clear…
what would happen in the end.

The Fang Clan would be thoroughly destroyed.

Meng Hao couldn’t shake the feeling that the upheavals in the Fang Clan
were simply too strange. In fact, he still wasn’t ready to completely
accept everything that was happening.

The Fang Clan was one of the Four Great Clans, and at one time had in
fact been the leader among those four clans. Therefore… it was hard to
believe that, just like that, the clan would play out its final act.

Meng Hao looked over at the fleeing Fang Wei, and his eyes gleamed with
killing intent.

“I can only stay in this state for seven more breaths of time….” he
murmured. This was his most powerful state, and he could remain in it for
a total of ten breaths. He took a deep breath, lifted his foot, and
stepped forward.

That one step caused everything to seem to shrink. Instantly, he was
directly behind Fang Wei. That was a speed that exceeded minor
teleportation. That was greater teleportation!

Fang Wei was astonished to find Meng Hao suddenly right there. Meng Hao
lifted his hand with indescribable speed and tapped Fang Wei.

“Detonate!” he said softly, his eyes glowing with coldness.

It was one word, but it echoed out in all directions, causing everything
to shake. Divine Flame erupted around Fang Wei, prompting a wild howl. At
the same time, Fang Wei performed a double-handed incantation gesture and
spit out a mouthful of blood. Instantly, a blood-colored shield sprang up
around him.

Shockingly, as Fang Wei stood inside the shield, the image of an old man
appeared in his right eye. As he sat there cross-legged, he opened his
eyes, and terrifying ripples of the Ancient Realm spread out.

Fang Wei had been completely pushed into a corner, so the Sixth Patriarch
was forced to use his doppelgänger’s Essence power to fight back!

Rumbling filled the air, and Fang Wei coughed up another huge mouthful of
blood. His chest sank inward, and the blood-colored shield expanded.
Because of the resistance, the Essence of Divine Flame paused for a
moment.

In that brief moment, Fang Wei transformed into a flickering shadow, and
fell back instantly, blood spraying from his mouth, seriously injured.
His scalp was numb, and the figure in his right eye was dim. This was
only a doppelgänger of the Sixth Patriarch, so he had very little
Essence, which he had just used to escape the deadly crisis he had been
in. However, in that moment, the power he was using to suppress Fang
Wei’s soul also weakened.

Suddenly, Fang Wei’s soul appeared in his left eye, struggling.
According to the plan, Fang Wei would never have fought back. However,
the dramatic upheavals in the Fang Clan led to an unexpected turn of
events.

Fang Wei’s soul struggled awake and began to fight against the Sixth
Patriarch’s possession, and over control of his own body.

“Fang Hao, kill me!!” he cried, trembling. “I told you that if I
lost, you could take back what belongs to you!”

Meng Hao looked on, taciturn, expression complex. He looked at Fang
Wei’s eyes, then raised his right hand and waved it forward. 33 Heavens
rumbled into being above Fang Wei’s head.

Beneath his feet, 33 Earths appeared, transforming into a deadly snare!

Rumbling echoed out as the 33 Heavens crushed down, and the 33 Earths
exploded with power. A powerful aura rose up in Fang Wei, and he coughed
up blood. The old man in his right eye seemed filled with madness and
terror; he was about to fight back, when suddenly a brilliant light shone
out from Fang Wei’s left eye.

“I am Fang Wei, Chosen of the Fang Clan. If your purpose in possessing
me is to sow chaos in the Fang Clan, then I would rather… allow the bad
to be destroyed with the good, and die together with you!” His true
soul, which resided in his left eye, suddenly rose up and began fight
directly with the Sixth Patriarch for control of his body.

He had always been matchessly proud, had always considered himself to be
the only true Chosen of the Fang Clan!

“Dammit!” raged the Sixth Patriarch. Originally, it wasn’t that he
didn’t want to destroy Fang Wei’s soul; rather, to perform a perfect
possession, he couldn’t do so, as he needed to slowly absorb the soul.
He had never been worried about doing that, and yet, he had never
imagined that Fang Wei’s devotion to the clan would suddenly supercede
everything. In truth, he had forgotten about Fang Wei’s incredible
pride.

Fang Wei was a Chosen of the clan. He was willing to die in battle, to be
possessed, or to slaughter others. He was willing to advance by hook or
by crook. However, he was not willing… to betray the clan. His most
important purpose was to protect the clan, and to ensure that the other
clan members viewed him as a hero!

He wanted to be the center of attention, the focus of the whole clan. He
wanted prestige, and he wanted to become a powerful expert. He wanted to
lead the clan into glory!

In reality, he had been unaware of the true plans being laid by his
grandfather.

Meng Hao’s expression was a complicated one as he held his right hand
up in the air.

“Fang Hao, kill me! If I die, the Sixth Patriarch will be severely
wounded. Perhaps the clan will have some hope then!! KILL ME!!”

The Sixth Patriarch was going crazy. Fang Wei’s left eye was growing
dim, as his soul fought desperately with the Sixth Patriarch for control
of his body.

Fang Heshan was still fighting with the Grand Elder, and when he saw the
crisis Fang Wei was in, he let out a bellow of rage. Booms rang out from
his body, and suddenly, a fragment of jade appeared in his hand. He
crushed it violently, causing intense ripples to spread out. The Grand
Elder’s face fell as he sensed the terrifying power in those ripples,
and was forced to retreat.

As he fell back, Fang Heshan shot toward Fang Wei.

“Wei’er!!” Fang Heshan cried urgently.

Even as he closed in, Fang Wei’s left eye began to shine brightly
again. His left hand rose, trembling, and he pointed toward Fang Heshan.
In that instant, the Yellow Springs appeared, along with his Immortal
souls, all of which blocked Fang Heshan’s path.

“Grandpa,” he said, his voice quavering, “sir, when I was born, do
you remember why you gave me the character Wei 卫 as a name? Sir… you
told me that it was because I needed to defend the Fang Clan….
Grandpa… stay your hand….” When Fang Heshan heard his words, he
trembled, and grief appeared in his eyes.

“Fang Hao, you have to take my place… to protect the Fang Clan! Come
on! Take back your Nirvana Fruits!” Fang Wei closed his left eye, and
rumbling could be heard inside his body. A popping sound could suddenly
be heard from his forehead. A split appeared, from within which two
fruits emerged.

Meng Hao instantly felt a sense of intense familiarity. He lifted his
right hand up toward the two Nirvana Fruits, which flew directly toward
him and landed in his palm.

At the same time, Fang Wei coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his energy
instantly weakened. The Sixth Patriarch let out a roar of defiance. Of
his own initiative, Fang Wei shot toward Meng Hao’s divine ability. No
one could prevent him from doing so, and not even Meng Hao could stop the
33 Heavens and 33 Earths from exploding violently.

In that instant, the Sixth Patriarch in Fang Wei’s right eye
transformed into a wisp of smoke that shot out. However, before it could
escape, Fang Wei’s soul latched onto it and dragged it back.

“NO!!” The Sixth Patriarch’s doppelgänger soul let out a howl of
rage just as it was inundated by the rumbling 33 Heavens and 33 Earths.

Massive booms filled the air, and then the 33 Heavens and 33 Earths faded
away. Fang Wei’s body fell down toward the ground. His right eye was
completely dark; the Sixth Patriarch had been exterminated in body and
spirit.

Fang Wei’s left eye was fading. The flame of his life force was snuffed
out. Right before he died, he looked at Meng Hao, and his lips moved. He
wasn’t able to speak the words out loud, but Meng Hao understood
exactly what he was saying.

He said… “Defend the Fang Clan.”

All of a sudden, Meng Hao thought back to what it was like on Planet East
Victory hundreds of years ago. He and Fang Wei were children. Fang Wei
had always been stubborn, different from the other kids. He wouldn’t
follow Meng Hao around, but rather, spent time alone, in the shadows,
working hard, trying to win the approval of others.

He seemed gloomy, but in truth, he had worked extremely hard over the
years. All of that led to the Fang Wei of today.

Meng Hao remembered when they were both six years old, and it was time
for them to begin practicing cultivation. They had stood in front of all
the clan Elders, and been questioned about why they wanted to be
cultivators. Meng Hao’s answer had been that after he grew up, he
wanted to protect his dad and mom.

As for Fang Wei, the words he had spoken with his tender, young voice
seemed to echo now in Meng Hao’s ears.

“My grandpa picked the name Wei for me! I’m Fang Wei, and when I grow
up, I’m going to defend the clan!”

The words Fang Wei had spoken as a child… were words that he had always
remembered, even in the moment of his death!

BOOM!

Fang Wei slammed into the ground, and his aura was gone. He was dead!
