The Legend of Shen Li (English Translation of Yu Feng Xing 与凤行)

Chapter 76

In the Outer Bounds of Heaven, the eternal loneliness flowed silently. Stepping on the stairs paved with green jade slabs, the blood from Xing Zhi's shoulders dripped down along the entire path. Suddenly, whether from blurred vision or weakened legs, Xing Zhi unexpectedly fell on the long steps. 

The wound frozen by the Water Prohibition Technique abruptly split open, and a luminous searing flame gushed out. Xing Zhi frowned and conjured magic to freeze the flame again, suppressing the flame down by force.

The wound could not be healed... 

It turned out that his divine powers had degenerated to such a level...

Apparently, even without this tribulation, his life as a deity was already about to come to an end.

A deity... Who was really abandoned by heaven!

As Xing Zhi looked up at the river of stars hanging in the sky of the Outer Bounds of Heaven, he abruptly laughed.

"If we talk about being indifferent and heartless, there is nothing in the world that can be compare to you; created to be used, thrown away to be discarded... 

How is a deity's power comparable to the Heavenly Laws? It's all just babbling nonsense. Now that I think about it, no matter who it is, we're just something that you're playing with." 

Then he released a long sigh that seemed to make his breath sweep far away into the emptiness of the Outer Bounds of Heaven, 

"Heaven's not benevolent at all!"

However, Xing Zhi was just feeling rueful. As he glanced at the seemingly endless long steps, he covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand to press down the raging flame and continued to walk up step by step.

It was unknown how long it took him, but the long steps finally came to an end. In that place, there was a wide platform. As Xing Zhi walked to the Altar of Deities, each step he took was solemn. 

When Xing Zhi walked to the center of the Altar of Deities, a golden brilliance immediately wrapped around his entire body, making his black eyes glow brightly.

On the ground, he crouched down and knelt on one knee. Then he poured divine power into the slab of green jade stone. 

On the circular altar, another radiance appeared from the ground, as if it reflected in accordance with the stars in the sky. It was disorganized yet harmonious. 

As Xing Zhi's magic poured into the slab even more, in those golden lights, some silhouettes could be faintly seen. 

Like Xing Zhi, they were dressed in spacious robes, but their actions and postures were completely different.

This was the place where the deities would only come when they had important matters to discuss. Each deity had his own seat. 

These images were the afterimages that they had left here for the past millions of years. From a long time ago, when the deities were still around, a decision could only be implemented with the approval of the majority, but now, only one person, Xing Zhi, was left...

He placed the four seals from outside the Ruins of Heavenly Poles onto the ground.

It was not difficult to connect the seals to the Outer Bounds of Heaven. In only a moment, Xing Zhi felt a light breeze in the air that had been motionless for ten thousand years, carrying the miasma from the Ruins of Heavenly Poles. 

It was extremely minute, but it was easy enough to capture.

He could imagine how happy the immortals outside the Ruins of Heavenly Poles would be at this time. The temporary enchantment barrier was broken, but the gate to the Ruins of Heavenly Poles was now closed, so the demon beasts could no longer escape...
