Chapter 1638 - Sound of Darkness (?)

With a flash of a black shadow, Chi Wuyao had already arrived in front of Hua Jin. From within the black fog, she stretched out a palm that was as white as porcelain jade, and gently placed it on Hua Jin's chest.

Immediately, a thin layer of Dark Light enveloped her entire body, causing the dark green light in her pupils to slowly retreat. However, her pupils were still enlarged, reflecting an unprecedented shock, “Master, this is…”

“It’s the Sky Poison.” Chi Wuyao said, as she slowly retracted her hand that seemed to have been carved by the heavens. The instant her hand retreated, the contrast between jade white and pitch-black was extremely intense and eye catching, “The Sky Poison pearl's plane level is too high, it cannot be erased, it can only be forcefully suppressed, and then, one can only wait for its ’life' to extinguish.”

“The amount of poison is small, you can control it. There is no need to panic. It should be gone by this time tomorrow.”

In the past, when Yun Che and Xia Qingyue tricked Qianye Fantian with the Sky Poison Pearl's sky poison, a major factor was because of his panic and despair of not being able to dispel and eliminate the Sky Poison as well as their complete ignorance of the fact that the poison released by the Sky Poison Pearl could only 'live' for 20 hours.

But Chi Wuyao seemed to know everything clearly.

“Do you still think he didn’t see through your disguise?” Chi Wuyao said quietly.

Her hands pressed against her chest. Only after a long while did her breathing finally calm down. She suddenly turned her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Master, he claimed to have led master to appear in order to cooperate. However, when he figured out my identity, he actually did such a vicious thing in secret. He, towards the Soul Stealing Realm, has no sincerity whatsoever to ‘cooperate’."

“No, he only used this as a warning and show off his power.” Chi Wuyao slowly said, “Including the fact that he killed Yan Sangang. Not only did he lite the fuse, he also expressed his stance and pressure towards me.”

Hua Jin: “…?”

“His way of doing things have completely changed.” Chi Wuyao’s voice became longer and deeper, as if she was sighing with emotion or perhaps feeling sentimental: “The past him, would definitely not be like this.”

"The previous… Him?” Hua Jin revealed a shocked expression.

“Hua Jin, your words are not entirely wrong.” Chi Wuyao slowly said: "Wether or not Yun Che can help us fulfil our long desired wish, nobody can foretell. Our future could be better or worse, and no one could foresee it. However, with the current condition of the Northern Divine Region, he is our only possibility and hope. "

She did not emphasise the word “only”. However, it was like two soul piercing demonic marks, deeply imprinted within Hua Jin's mind and soul.

After being silent for a long time, Hua Jin did not say any more doubts or advice. She kneeled down once again, and the single knee kneeled behind Chi Wuyao: “We sisters and i will do everything to help Master achieve her long desired wish.”

“Pass on a message to Yu Wu, Qing Ying, Chanyi, have them return immediately.” Chi Wuyao ordered.

As she finished her sentence, she raised her head and looked up at the eternal darkness in the sky. Her lips slowly curled up into a smile, “This dark and dreary sky that has been quiet for a million years is finally going to become interesting.”

— —

The direction Yun Che and Qian Yeyinger were going, was exactly where the Soul Calamity Realm was.

Because the Northern Divine Region was a gradually shrinking “cage,” it was far weaker than the other three Divine Regions. With their extreme speed, they would be able to reach there within one day even without the help of a spatial profound formation.

“Why didn’t you tell me about Zhou Xuzi's matter!” Yun Che said in a cold voice.

Qianye Ying'er looked at him closely. “You avoided Chi Wuyao just to talk to me about this?”

“Why didn’t you tell me!” Yun Che repeated coldly.

“It’s wasn't necessary.” Qianye Ying'er said, “Furthermore, even though you have already restrained yourself, you are still a little anxious. You should be well aware of this point.”

Yun Che frowned, but did not say anything.

"If you go into hiding for another one to two years, you will have even more of the initiative to take on Chi Wuyao, but you do not. In the Imperial Sky Palace, you did not discuss with me and forcefully killed Yan Sangang in order to anger the Yama King Realm and force Chi Wuyao to swallow the Burning Moon and Yama King Realms."

“All of these things prove that it was the correct choice to hide it from you.”

Yun Che still did not speak.

“Hatred for your enemy and for yourself are like devouring the body of a demon. Every breath makes you wish you were dead. I know this very well.” Qianye Ying'er gazed forward, "And Zhou Xuzi is the person you hate the most… Oh, perhaps that Xia Qingyue too? I was afraid that if I told you this, the time you would use to find Chi Wuyao would be even shorter. "

“Just because of this?” Hearing Qianye Ying'er's words, Yun Che’s expression did not change at all.

“Right.”

“Why does Zhou Xuzi value Zhou Qingchen so much?” Yun Che asked.

Qianye Ying'er laughed faintly, and said: “Zhou Xuzi’s eldest son is already close to twenty thousand years old, and as the Eternal Heaven Crown Prince, Zhou Qingchen’s age is actually similar to mine, don’t you think that’s strange?”

“Nothing to be surprised about.” Yun Che said: “Didn’t your father also choose you as his successor?”

“I have no father.” Qianye Ying'er coldly snorted, before speaking in disdain, "Is that trash of Eternal Heaven even worthy to be compared on the same level as me? I was chosen as the successor by that old dog Qianye Fantian because I had the qualifications to surpass all of his descendants, and all of my peers. As for Zhou Qingchen… He thinks that with his Cultivation Level, aptitude, prestige, and personality, which part of him is worthy to be called the ‘Eternal Heaven Crown Prince’? "

Qianye Ying'er and Zhou Qingchen’s were similar in age. Even though Qianye Ying'er's Brahma power had been crippled, she still maintained the cultivation of a Mid Stage Divine Master.

But Zhou Qingchen, was a mid stage Divine Sovereign.

As both of them were successors to a God Emperor, the difference between them in terms of profound cultivation, was more than just heaven and earth.

Putting aside Qianye Ying'er who is on another level, to be a Mid Stage Divine Sovereign at Zhou Qingchen’s age was already enough for him to feel proud of himself. However, as the crown prince of Eternal Heaven, as well as the person who enjoyed the best environment and resources in the world, there was no doubt that a large portion of his Cultivation Level came from the place he was born into.

It was obvious especially considering two Eternal Heaven Guardians risked their life to obtain the Divine Fruit of Absolute Beginning for Zhou Qingchen, it obviously showed his position.

Even if he had the resources at the level of King Realm and the treatment that clearly exceeded the limits of his Crown Prince status, even though his Cultivation Level was at his age, it really wasn’t enough to reach the level of being the successor of Eternal Heaven… There were even many among the “heaven chosen children” who had experienced three thousand years, who were far more dazzling than him.

In terms of prestige and character, Zhou Qingchen was not even the least bit comparable to Qianye Ying'er.

Therefore, when facing Qianye Ying'er who was clearly of equal status, Zhou Qingchen had always felt inferior and ashamed.

Yun Che thought for a moment, then said: “Continue.”

“Rumor has it that Zhou Xuzi’s official wife is not from a noble family. If I remember correctly, it seems see hails from a Middle Star realm.” Qianye Ying'er explained blandly: “That realm is the same as the Snow Song Realm, they mainly cultivate in the Ice Profound Strength.”

Yun Che: “…”

“With such a background, yet she was chosen by Zhou Xuzi to be the official wife. It can be seen how deep his relationship with her was.” Qianye Ying'er let out a rather disdainful snort, “I heard that the reason Zhou Xuzi valued this woman so highly was because of Zhou Xuzi back then …”

“Get to the point.” Yun Che interrupted her with a cold tone. Every time he heard the three words “Zhou Xuzi,” the veins in his entire body would spasm uncontrollably. How would he be willing to listen to his past?

"In short. That woman, after being married to Zhou Xuzi for so many years, had no offspring at all. After asking the doctor, she found out that due to the Ice Profound Strength, her body had long ago been left with a cold injury. And her cold wounds have been there for many years, and it is almost impossible for her to be fertile."

“Heh.” Yun Che sneered, he could more or less guess what would happen next.

"Zhou Xuzi and that woman tried countless mathods, but after so many years had passed, Zhou Xuzi’s descendants were innumerable, and even though his eldest son was close to twenty thousand years old, she still came up empty-handed. And Zhou Xuzi had never appointed a crown prince, which probably moved that woman and made her feel guilty at the same time. She finally made a decision and tried the only possibility, hiding the fact she crippled her own profound veins from Zhou Xuzi, and dispersed her entire cultivation and cold energy, when her body recovered, she finally became pregnant.

Women cultivating ice profound power to the peak easily damage their fertility, Yun Che was well aware. With his abilities, he could easily heal them, but for other people, and even people on the level of King Realms, it was almost impossible to solve the problem.

"Even though that woman lost her profound strength, with the resources of the Eternal Heaven Realm, it was still enough to forcibly prolong her life by thousands of years. But unfortunately, her cold injuries were too severe and she died after giving birth to Zhou Qingchen with great difficulty."

"That was probably the time Zhou Xuzi was the most powerless throughout his entire life. Therefore, to him, Zhou Qingchen is definitely not simply one of his descendants."

“That’s it?” Yun Che seemed to be laughing coldly.

“Is it not enough?” Qianye Ying'er asked.

"… It's enough." Yun Che’s gaze gradually contracted, "It’s enough… Very good. "

Qianye Ying'er's gaze slanted to the side. She saw that Yun Che’s hands were tightly clenched, and it seemed as if a trace of blood was slowly flowing out of his fingers.

“However, are you sure that after old dog Eternal Heaven gets enraged, he will forcefully attack the Northern Divine Region?” Yun Che suddenly asked.

“Probably.” Qianye Ying'er said: "No matter how many years an Old Monster has lived, they will always have their own weakness. The reason why I am so clear about Zhou Qingchen’s matter is because when I was very young, Qianye Fantian wanted me to clearly see through everyone’s weakness!"

"Including Zhou Xuzi, including Yue Wuya, including Dragon Monarch… Including all those who can or may become a threat. "

What Qianye Ying'er had told him was that the law of survival was instilled into her by Qianye Fantian since young. But unfortunately, she had never clearly seen what Qianye Fantian's weakness was.

"Zhou Qingchen, is Zhou Xuzi's biggest weakness. After he has been thoroughly enraged… You can try to get him into your hatred and your state of mind. At that time, anything he does, won't be strange."

Yun Che: “…”

"In addition, what he will endure is not only hatred, but also a terrifying sense of danger after witnessing your terrifying growth and resentment with his own eyes. Once the two of them have fused, he will want to kill you in the shortest time possible, regardless of any consequences, without any hesitation or fluke."

“How much certainty do you have in achieving all of this?” Yun Che asked.

“Fifty percent.” Qianye Ying'er said. However, in front of Chi Wuyao, she obviously had to remain calm and display “one hundred percent” with absolute certainty.

“If he doesn’t, then think of another way.” Qianye Ying'er smiled lightly: "As long as you want, there are a lot of ways. And this is the most likely way I can think of to succeed. I don’t want you to be too preoccupied with your preparations and waste the best opportunity."

"At least, the Northern Divine Region can only permit… One King Realm!"

“Also,” Qianye Ying'er's lips moved slightly, but that slight curve was incredibly eerie, “The more time you spend dragging on, the longer the despair and pain lasts, don’t you agree?”

Yun Che was silent for a long time, and did not speak, as though he agreed with Qianye Ying'er' words.

“I’m curious about one thing.” Qianye Ying'er suddenly spoke out, “What happened to that little girl?”

She didn’t think that the current Yun Che still had any good thoughts.

“That was a Witch.” Yun Che said.

“…” Qianye Ying'er’s brows moved, and snorted softly, “So that’s how it was.”

“The Seventh Witch, possessing concealing abilities that can fool ghosts and gods,(?) she truly lives up to her name.” She immediately thought of that name: "Even I have been fooled within ten steps. Even Heavenly Slaughter Star God would not be able to do this. "

“Besides the Witch's, that Chi Wuyao, even more so, cannot be underestimated.” Qianye Ying'er slightly knitted her brows, a cold light surfacing in her eyes: “This is the first time I’ve ever felt someone’s eyes being able to see through my soul.”

“Moreover, this cooperation went far to smooth.” She glanced at Yun Che, “Do you think that it’s related to the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor?”

“I won’t trust anyone.” Yun Che said coldly.

“Including me?”

“Right.” A word of response, without the slightest hesitation.

"… Very good.” Qianye Ying'er slowly nodded, as if she was appreciating it. Then, as she looked forward, she uttered very softly in an inexplicable manner: "Even I am beginning to find it hard to believe myself… Heh, what a joke."

“…?” Yun Che glanced at her.

After passing through many pitch black areas in the world, the area that belonged to the Soul Stealing Devil God Realm finally appeared inside their line of sight.

They are similarly dark worlds, its existence, however was like a Demon God standing unmatched in the heavens, attracting the surrounding world being filled with supreme dark might.
