Li Qiye couldn’t be any more meticulous while checking this wooden box in his hand. He would caress it and try to feel something different than all others.

　　This box was simply indecipherable. Its previous owner was a clan with many powerful characters throughout the year but none managed to figure it out.

　　In the end, the clan fell into ruins and had to sell the box. Li Qiye wasn’t too sure about the box but he was aware of the legends.

　　“Purewood Divine Emperor, I hope you’re not just messing with the world this time.” He tapped the box and said.

　　In an ancient era, there were stories about how this emperor had left items to the world. Of course, few people who knew about this were still alive.

　　This emperor was the most mysterious one in the history of the thirteen continents. Some said that he was the first Divine Emperor. Others disagreed and said that there had been others before. It was just that no records were written down about them.

　　One thing was certain, he was the oldest known emperor in the tenth world and the first to shoulder twelve wills. This was confirmed and clearly written down in the annals.

　　This was a top level Grand Emperor who had started a brilliant era.

　　His origin was a mystery. No one knew which sect or what type of person the emperor was. His name has been shrouded in a fog as it trekked through the river of time.

　　There was an even more ridiculous rumor stating that no one had ever seen the emperor before or knew his true appearance. [1]

　　Recently, people rarely brought him up but they still believed that he was alive and staying at an unknown location.

　　In spite of all the mysteries, Li Qiye knew one thing - the emperor had one of the nine grand heavenly scriptures, the Thought Scripture!

　　However, he didn’t hold onto the original copy and left it in the mundane world. Li Qiye spent a considerable amount of time finding it to no avail.

　　It wasn’t until he saw the wooden box that he found some clues. He wasn’t completely certain, only around sixty to seventy percent. This was the reason why he wanted the box so badly.

　　He sat down and placed both palms on the box before reaching a zen state, focusing his mind, spirit, and thoughts.

　　He removed all primordial chaos energy because it was useless here. Only the dao heart was effective right now.

　　A while later, a buzzing noise resounded as his body glowed with a black light. Next, a gigantic pair of horns grew from his head as he became shrouded with an evil fog.

　　When he opened his eyes, two crimson rays rushed out. A murderous temperament made the world tremble. Under his bloodthirsty brilliance, both G.o.ds and devils would feel their souls scattering about.

　　In this split second, he became the eternal dark hand, the supreme butcher. He could ma.s.sacre the nine worlds and slaughter the thirteen continents!

　　He became the representative of evil, an everlasting devil king. All living beings were subjected to his cruel whims!

　　If it wasn’t for his spatial concealment, this frightening evil energy would have shocked everyone.

　　Despite this wicked transformation, his dao heart was still immovable. The evil energy eventually rescinded and he turned back to his original form.
