Chapter 1094: The Evil King’s Breakthrough, Unity of Heaven and Man!

Within the vast natural mountain valley, two winding trails of fire glowed, but their light covered only a limited area, leaving most of it in utter darkness.
Wanwan stepped out of the shadows with her devilishly alluring figure, her eyes like water—both serene and resentful—fixing on Kai Xin.
Dressed in a long robe and carrying a heavy black iron sword, Kai Xin’s handsome face, combined with the massive sword, exuded a blend of gentle charm and fierce wildness.
“Is it your master who sent you here?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t tell my master that you killed one of our Yin Gui Sect’s gatekeepers.” Wanwan stepped forward gracefully, her eyes shimmering, her figure even more alluring beneath the sheer fabric, stirring hearts.
Kai Xin smiled and took a step forward. “In that case, I really should thank Miss Wanwan.”
“…”
Wanwan immediately stepped back several feet like a startled deer. “I can’t accept such thanks. You’re now the famous Demon Lord—able to come and go freely even after committing atrocities in the capital. How could an ordinary disciple of our Yin Gui Sect stop you? Tell me, what’s your purpose in coming to our sect?”
“Demon Lord?”
Hearing this title from Wanwan, Kai Xin was momentarily stunned.
“Hmph!” Feeling that her presence had been suppressed by a younger disciple for the first time, Wanwan resentfully let out a cute snort. “The Evil King and my master said that though you’re a Shaolin disciple, your actions in the capital have made you part of the demonic path! Thousands have died at your hands, blood flowing like rivers, yet you still managed to escape from the siege of the four top experts in the capital, repeatedly evading capture. Cities nearby seem uninhabited, and your skills have reached a masterful level—worthy of the title ‘Demon Lord’… In other words, even those in our demonic sect regard you highly.”
“You demons just want the righteous to fight each other to the death. Go back and tell the Evil King that I don’t deserve such a title.” Hearing Wanwan’s explanation, Kai Xin replied calmly, “Moreover, I have no intention of associating with you.”
“Since we’re not on the same side, why have you come to our Yin Gui Sect? In this vast world, wherever you go, you’ll be pursued by the imperial experts. But here, you won’t be found. You’re not here to seek our protection—so are you here to cause trouble for our sect?”
Wanwan’s tone shifted, and her eyes showed a hint of wariness.
“I’m here to find the Evil King. Tell him to come out!”

Since it was already a demonic style, Kaixin wasn’t afraid to be even more bold in front of the Evil King—since the Evil King was about to emerge from seclusion, he didn’t have much time to waste here.
Hearing Kaixin state his purpose, Wanwan’s expression changed, becoming much more serious:
“Have you come to our Yin Gui Sect to find the Evil King?”
“Weren’t you just saying that the Evil King rated me as a Demon Lord? I left the capital just a few days ago. You’re not telling me the Evil King isn’t here, are you?”
“I’ll have to see who dares to openly try to figure out where the Evil King is—how bold of them!” Wanwan snorted coldly, her mask icy.
Kaixin was slightly startled, realizing that with such words, Wanwan would surely order someone to investigate who had discovered the Evil King’s location. By then, Bai Xiaosheng would be in danger. But he quickly reassured himself—even if action was taken, dealing with a Zhou Yi master, at most someone at Wanwan’s level, could be handled by Feng Ling’s strength, not to mention there were many of Bai Xiaosheng’s followers in the capital.
“Stop talking nonsense. Bring out the Evil King, or I’ll make your Yin Gui Sect bleed today!” Kaixin’s murderous shout finally made Wanwan’s expression grim.
No reply yet.
Kaixin suddenly frowned, turned his head, and glanced toward the depths of the torch-lit path:
“So the Evil King has arrived. Then show yourself. Hiding and sneaking around isn’t like the style of the head of the Flower Sect, nor does it fit the identity of the number one in the demonic path.”
“I’m very curious about your purpose in coming to me this time,” the Evil King’s voice echoed faintly from all directions in the empty mountain valley.
“The Evil King really is forgetful…” Kaixin said mockingly, “You’ve already forgotten the battle at the Great Buddha Temple, the two stone tablets you took from the Arhat Formation?”
“What does that have to do with you? Or have you already become a lackey of Ci Hang Jing Zhai? No… Ci Hang Jing Zhai has always had close ties with the royal family. It’s impossible for them to let a bloodthirsty little demon like you come looking for me. Could it be you want to take those stone tablets from me?”
Take them?
Kaixin’s heart stirred, and his words changed:
“It would be perfect if the Evil King were willing to let me understand them.”
Although he had some chances of defeating the Evil King, this was still the Yin Gui Sect, the lair of the Yin Queen. Fighting two opponents at once, even with the blood of many Fire Kirin, Kaixin wasn’t entirely sure he could take the stone tablets from the Evil King.
“The stone tablets of the holy monks from the Great Buddha Temple—giving you one won’t hurt,” the Evil King replied, delighting Kaixin. But the words that followed made him suppress his smile: “But you must promise to do one thing for me.”
“That depends on what it is.”

Kai Xin no longer held much hope, for he knew that the tasks assigned by the Evil Sect were always harsh and targeted the righteous sects. Although he was now wanted by the imperial court, had a negative reputation among heroes, and couldn’t even approach the righteous sects, Kai Xin still didn’t want to completely fall to the evil path!
“It’s simple.”
As he spoke, the Evil King finally appeared. After several days apart, his aura had grown even more formidable. He casually chose a high rock, sat down, then glanced at Kai Xin:
“The stone tablet belongs to the divine monk, but since it’s in my hands now, it’s property of my sacred sect. How could I hand it over to a disciple of the righteous Shaolin?”
“…”
Kai Xin’s brows tightened in concern. Then the Evil King’s tone changed: “Of course, since you’re trained by Shaolin and have deep ties to them, and also have a lineage connection through mentorship with the young master of my sacred sect, the Heaven Evil Sect, I naturally won’t let you betray Shaolin and commit such a dishonorable act.”
“What exactly do you want?”
“I want to be sure that after obtaining the stone tablet, you won’t become an enemy of my evil path or oppose my sacred sect. But words alone aren’t enough. I want you to do one thing—nothing difficult. Just take the life of any master from a righteous sect, and I’ll give you the stone tablet.”
At these words, even Wan Wan, who had remained silent and obedient until then, couldn’t help but show shock.
Assassinate a master-level figure from a righteous sect!
Kai Xin’s face turned even darker. This was even more impossible than betraying Shaolin. The master-level figures the Evil King referred to were the leaders of those sects—such as the abbot of Shaolin or Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang, the spiritual leaders of their sects. Assassinating any of them would mean becoming a complete enemy of the righteous sects, leading to pursuit by all of them for life! …
Ding!
A system prompt suddenly sounded:
“Do you accept the Evil King’s task—to kill any non-Evil Sect master-level figure, a person despised by the righteous?”
“If you accept the task and succeed, you’ll gain the Evil King’s trust and receive a relic stone tablet from the divine monk of the Great Buddha Temple. If you fail, you’ll still be despised by the righteous and hunted by them for a week!”
“Please choose!”
…”
“If it were a master-level figure from an Evil Sect, I’d act right now.”
Kai Xin had already made up his mind. His gaze darkened as he slowly reached behind him, grasped his heavy black iron sword, and stared intently at the Evil King.
“It seems you’re unwilling to accept.”

The Evil King sighed with slight regret, “What’s wrong with joining my path of darkness? Why must one adhere to the rules of the righteous path? It’s a shame… If you could fully embrace my path, given time, you would surely become a master of darkness surpassing me, Shi Zhi Xuan—not only the number one in the path of darkness but even the greatest in the entire world!”
The Evil King’s vision indeed sounded appealing, but Kai Xin knew that in this game, the righteous path could not bind him. Only by agreeing to the Evil King’s task would he truly be constrained, forcing him to be cautious everywhere he went. He replied coldly, “Taking your life and seizing the stone tablet from you is the same for me.”
Hearing this, the Evil King flew into rage:
“Dare you!”
A fierce mental pressure, along with an overwhelming aura, descended from the sky. Suddenly, it seemed as though an invisible force had sucked all the air from the mountain valley, making the space stagnant.
Unperturbed, Kai Xin met the Evil King’s silent punch with a focused gaze…
Dragon form!
His body moved one meter to the side.
With a loud “bang,” a deep and clear palm print appeared on the wall of the mountain valley where he had stood before, sinking several inches into the stone—a sight that was truly shocking.
Easily avoiding the punch, Kai Xin stepped lightly onto the ground and, like a ghost, appeared on a rock twenty meters away, facing the Evil King, just twenty meters apart:
“During the battle at the Great Buddha Temple, we both encountered our own fates. I wonder if the Evil King has succeeded in understanding the secrets within the stone tablet…”
As he spoke, Kai Xin silently leaped into the air, took a high vantage point, and swung his sword!
Whoosh!!
Feeling the mystery embedded in Kai Xin’s sword strike, the Evil King’s expression darkened, becoming extremely solemn. Suddenly, a thick layer of golden flames emerged from his body. He clapped his hands in the air, instantly sending out several roaring black palm prints.
Although Wan Wan had already reached the middle stage of the Mythical Realm, she stood far away and did not participate in the battle…
Yet, upon seeing the Evil King activate his protective barriers the moment he faced Kai Xin, her eyes couldn’t help but show extreme shock.
But soon!
Wan Wan was drawn to an even more astonishing scene!
In the dark sky of the mountain valley,
With Kai Xin’s sword strike carrying immense force, invisible ripples appeared in the void behind it.
One!
Two!
Three!!
At the moment of the attack, the three ripples miraculously overlapped, all converging onto the Dark Iron Heavy Sword…
Boom!!!!

The several palm prints struck by the Evil King in an instant barely touched the sword aura of the black iron great sword before being sliced apart like tofu by the sword’s power—devastatingly!
The sword aura rushed toward the Evil King like a breaking bamboo stalk…
Although its power had been greatly weakened, the dull howling sound as it tore through the air was still terrifying and should not be underestimated.
At this critical moment, the Evil King became furious, and an astonishing aura surged from his body. Under the astonished gazes of Wanwan and Kai Xin, he met the attack with one hand and seized the black iron great sword!
Suppression!!
Kai Xin expected the suppression effect to occur, but it didn’t.
Instead, under the highly threatening sword strike, the Evil King’s aura skyrocketed violently. He even broke through the limits of the peak Mythical Realm, with winds and clouds swirling above his head as his energy rose to another level.
Seeing the Evil King gripping the black iron great sword with one hand, as if a demon god had descended, Kai Xin was left speechless!
He had broken through…
The Evil King had actually reached the realm of Unity with Heaven at this damned moment!!
