Bank of the Universe Novel - Chapter 189
Chapter 189: A Huge Fire!
Taizhong and his Empress… one was crazy and one was dead.
As their descendants didn’t want to reveal that Taizhong was still alive, they set up this area as a restricted zone and anyone who entered would be killed. No one really cared about the rumors that spread on the outside.
Taizhong had been smart for his whole life but he probably didn’t expect that his later years would be so sad and tragic.
Old Ancestor Duanmu, who had fought him for his whole life, didn’t suffer any serious illnesses and disasters and befriended the Soul Raising Tree, peacefully spending the latter half of his life.
As for him, he enjoyed glory and riches for the front half of his life, but then he spent the next half on the verge of madness.
“You bald camel, you actually dared to enter my sleeping palace. You deserve to be beaten up! You are asking to die!” Taizhong hollered in rage. He really wanted to punch Heaven Heart.
Heaven Heart just turned around and easily avoided his fist.
At the moment, Taizhong was totally useless and all of his energy was used to maintain the last bit of lifeforce of the Empress!
Heaven Heart pushed forward slightly. It seemed like a weak and light hit but for Taizhong. It was as if he suffered from a lightning strike. He was forced back and he hit onto the bed.
Dong!
The bed shook once it was knocked into.
The Empress laying on it turned into dust. Only her beautiful face was still there. She was as per usual and looked like an 18-year-old.
At this moment, the Empress’s beauty wasn’t her own beauty.
But she was just as beautiful as when she was 18.
Under her dust body, a jade pearl appeared. On it there were carved many buddha ancestors, bodhisattvas, Luohans…
This was the gift that Taizhong had given her, the Celestial Artifact Ten Thousand Buddha Bead.
10,000 years had passed and although Taizhong had been maintaining her life force, her body should have long turned to dust.
It was all because of the Ten Thousand Buddha Beads which protected the Empress’s body.
But after 10,000 years, the corpse couldn’t handle as a single strike. It was just bumped into by Taizhong and this happened.
Taizhong was stunned. His Empress was totally gone!
The Empress that followed him when he was a rash kid was totally dead!
They were together for 30,000 years. Taizhong and the Empress knew each other when they were both 18 and had never separated. Time was really the perfect conduit for their love.
Now was the time for their story to come to an end.
“Now that your Empress is dead, this contract should end. I shall take away her Celestial Artifact and her eternal beauty.” Heaven Heart reached out and took out the Ten Thousand Buddha Beads while Taizhong was just in a daze.
But when Heaven Heart wanted to grab the eternal beauty on her face, Taizhong pushed him aside and shouted in a maniacal manner, “That is what Empress wanted the most. You can’t take it away.”
“You can’t stop me!” Heaven Heart said calmly. If he was at his peak, he could but now it was impossible.
Taizhong was stunned and he hugged the Empress’s face. “I can give anything to you. I can give everything here to you, just don’t take away the Empress’s favorite thing.”
Celestial Artifact, he didn’t want it!
Eternal Life Tree, he didn’t want it!
If the Empress was dead, then why did he need to be alive?
Taizhong wanted to preserve this last bit of beauty which was also what the Empress liked the most.
Heaven Heart frowned and found it tough to take it away since Taizhong was currently already on the verge of going insane.
“Give him the eternal beauty and bring back the Eternal Life Tree!” Li Xiandao’s voice suddenly rang out which made Heaven Heart heave a sigh of relief.
In the Bank of the Universe, Li Xiandao and Seven were looking at such scenes with a complicated expression.
Not mentioning the personality of Taizhong and the Empress, their relationship touched both Li Xiandao and Seven.
Seven looked at Li Xiandao and blinked.
Li Xiandao instantly knew what she meant and informed Heaven Heart not to take back the eternal beauty.
“They are just pieces of the face that Moon Celestial borrowed. They don’t matter.” Seven explained.
Li Xiandao nodded. Looking at the insane Taizhong, she really wasn’t planning on taking it back.
Heaven Heart looked at Taizhong who was muttering while hugging his Empress’s face. He turned around and left.
In the courtyard, Heaven Heart looked at the golden Eternal Life Tree and said, “Will you become small yourself, or do I need to make you?”
Explosion!
Eternal Life Tree wasn’t a kind tree and it sought after luck and avoided danger. It knew that it had to return, so it shrunk and entered Heaven Heart’s storage treasure.
Heaven Heart said, “Now, all that is left is to collect Feather Transformation God Dynasty’s dragon vein.”
The entrance to the dragon vein was under this courtyard. As the Eternal Life Tree’s living environment was really strict, it needed to lay root on the dragon vein.
When it is in the Bank of the Universe, it would be in deep slumber but for it to survive outside. It needed to lay root on God Spirit Meridians or Dragon Veins.
The palace definitely couldn’t have God Spirit Meridians, so there were only Dragon Veins.
Heaven Heart stomped his feet and a giant hole appeared. One could see a giant gold dragon vein surging about below.
Kong!
The dragon vein would holler majestically. Its golden scales were about to turn into physical form and sparks formed as they rubbed intensely into each other.
Feather Transformation God Dynasty’s dragon vein that had accumulated for 30,000 years was enormous.
Heaven Heart opened his arm and activated the ability of the Bank of the Universe.
“Obtain!”
He was following the terms of the contract, so he could use the Bank of the Universe’s power to collect the dragon vein.
If Heaven Heart became himself, he definitely wouldn’t be able to collect such a huge dragon vein. People would notice him and trap him in the palace too.
But it was different since he had the Bank of the Universe’s ability.
Explosion!
At this moment, the dragon vein was sucked in by the Bank of the Universe’s energy.
All of this happened in an instant before Heaven Heart dashed away, not daring to stay at all.
In the next second, the spirit energy in the palace suddenly reduced by 80-90% causing many experts to panic.
“The dragon vein is gone!”
“What happened to Feather Transformation God Dynasty’s dragon vein?”
“Our dragon vein was dug away just like that?”
“Who is so bold?”
Numerous people were shocked, especially the 10,000-year-old Emperor Tianqi who was furious. “Seal up the palace!”
With an order, numerous people moved into action. In just three minutes, the palace was sealed such that even a bird couldn’t head out.
Emperor Tianqi hurried towards Taizhong’s courtyard.
Fire!
What he saw was a flame!
There was a huge flame burning Taizhong. He looked emotionally at the palace and he saw his young experiences.
This was a place he worked his entire childhood for. Unfortunately, his descendants were not filial.
After losing the Eternal Life Tree, Taizhong’s rationality returned. He recalled what he did during these few years and was in deep thought.
“Let everything end along with this huge flame.” Taizhong lit himself in flame
“You won!” Taizhong looked at the Duanmu Family and said with relief.
Taizhong, who wasted so much time, just wanted to accompany his Empress now. He would just let all the grievances pass.
