Chapter 1654: Soul Breakdown

"..."

Zhou Xuzi knelt there, motionless. His mouth was wide open, yet he couldn't make a sound. Facing the sinister darkness, his eyes reflecting a terrifying paleness.

There was no blood more beautiful than this, nor was there any despair more thorough than this.

True despair had never had any colour, completely soundless.

Just like back then, when Yun Che witnessed the destruction of the Blue Pole Star.

What was more hopeless than despair was despair after having hope.

"He... Hehe…"

Through the dark laughter resembling the chant of a devil, Yun Che swung his arm, causing all the foul blood to fly away. Seeing Zhou Xuzi who had kneeled on the ground, whose soul had left his body, hatred filled his entire body. For the first time, he was thoroughly satisfied. "Eternal Heaven Old Dog… How does it feel?"

"Isn't it great to see one's most important, most innocent family member die tragically in front of one's eyes! It feels so good! Good to the bones!"

"From the words you speak i am the most bloodthirsty, brutal, evil, inhumane, shouldn't exist and should not be tolerated existence in this world, a Devil Person! You unexpectedly believed the words of a Devil Person!"

"You foolish old dog actually believed the words of a Devil Person!"

"Ha... Haha... Hahahaha..."

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

He laughed maniacally and his black hair danced chaotically. However, every laugh carried with it blood and pain that would cause people's souls to tremble.

"..." Zhou Xuzi finally moved, his head slowly turned, the body of a God Emperor, his movements slow and stiff, like a lowly puppet controlled by threads. He finally squeezed out a sound that was like the buzz of a mosquito:

"You… All..."

"The Untamed Divine Marrow is a good thing." Chi Wuyao said indifferently: "However, you hoped the one who would come today was not This Queen, but Yun Che."

"To personally experience the pain and despair that Yun Che had to endure all those years ago, what do you think? Oh, no, no…" Chi Wuyao shook her head: "You are still far from being able to experience it. After all, you still have your homeland, your subordinates, relatives, and descendants."

"What you owe him…" Chi Wuyao slowly stretched out her jade white pinky: "I only returned this tiny bit."

"But don't worry. There will be a day when you will return everything… Return everything ten fold, hundred fold, return everything completely! "

Yun Che's hatred was obvious, but in Chi Wuyao's eyes, there was a hidden coldness.

"..." Zhou Xuzi's body began to tremble... Trembling again, he suddenly felt traces of blood gather in his pale eyes. Traces of blood flowed from his ears, nose, and mouth.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Zhou Xuzi... The most gentle and calm God Emperor in the God Realm actually let out a roar like a wild beast. The profound aura around his body seemed to shatter stars, as he madly released it, instantly collapsing heaven and splitting the earth as the wind and clouds change colour.

Just how terrifying was the power of despair from a God Emperor!

Chi Wuyao was already prepared for this. She blasted a palm at Yun Che's chest, causing him to fly far away.

The power of two God Emperors erupted at the same time, instantly transforming the world into a world of darkness riddled with holes.

Zhou Xuzi had completely gone mad, and from his mouth came one strange yell after another, as the berserking power of a God Emperor was being frantically released.

BOOM!

An abnormal explosion sound rang within the destructive space created by the power of two God Emperors. Yun Che, who had been blasted away by Chi Wuyao with a palm strike, released a bloody profound aura that covered his entire body, and along with a howl that was even more hoarse and deranged than Zhou Xuzi's, the vermilion greatsword in his hands smashed straight towards Zhou Xuzi's head.

"Eternal Heaven Old Dog… Die… Die!"

While in Hades state, Yun Che's maximum combat strength could be compared to a 7th Level Divine Master. If the sober Zhou Xuzi saw this, he would definitely be shocked.

But... Suddenly sensing Yun Che's approaching aura, Zhou Xuzi pounced towards Yun Che as if he had gone mad, completely ignoring Chi Wuyao's power as if he had smelled a bloody wolf of despair.

BOOM!

The earth turned over, and tens of thousands of mountains collapsed. Zhou Xuzi's waist was cut open by Chi Wuyao's filament, while his power ruthlessly struck the Heaven Smiting Sword. (filament = a long thread usually made from silk)

That was the berserking power of a God Emperor. Even if Yun Che could go against the heavens, it was still impossible for him to contend against a God Emperor's power.

As if struck by a star, a heaven splitting sound. A blood arrow flew out of Yun Che's mouth, and he flew away like a dead tree being swept up in a storm… But immediately, he turned around in the air and swallowed the blood in his mouth. Holding the Heaven Smiting Sword in his hand that had all its bones shattered, he covered himself in blood light and pounced towards Zhou Xuzi once more.

Chi Wuyao sighed in her heart, she had already expected this kind of situation.

This was also the most important reason why she had Jie Xin and Jie Ling follow along.

She floated to the empty space before bringing up her hands, in an instant, the darkness energy in the surrounding space quickly gathered and pressed against Zhou Xuzi. At the same time, a flash appeared in her pupils, as the Nirvana Devil Soul shot through the darkness, straight towards Zhou Xuzi's soul.

The Devil Queen's soul, which had left behind a ten-thousand-year shadow within him attacked once more. Zhou Xuzi's soul trembled, and forced his body and power to retreat under the pressure of the darkness. However, his killing intent was still overflowing, recklessly looking for Yun Che's position. (?)

A barrier appeared out of nowhere, and fiercely pushed back Yun Che who was rushing towards Zhou Xuzi. Two white shadows rushed out from the darkness, one on the left and one on the right, locking Yun Che in place.

Jie Xin and Jie Ling.

Two great 10th Level Divine Masters combined their power to completely suppress Yun Che's entire body. Not to mention pouncing on Zhou Xuzi, he couldn't even move a finger.

"Eaahhh… I must make him die… make him die! AHH!

Yun Che struggled frantically as he screamed with all his might. Every time he roared, blood would spray out.

Jie Xin and Jie Lingl both woew indifferent expression. Restraining Yun Che, this was their only mission today.

Darkness was Chi Wuyao's home. Under Zhou Xuzi's frenzied despair, his soul had been easily broken by Chi Wuyao's devil soul, causing him to let out an enraged roar that was even more miserable and mournful than his previous one. However, he seemed to have gone completely crazy, and still pounced towards the direction of Yun Che's aura. The hate condensed in his eyes, was as blood-red as Yun Che's eyes.

At this time, another powerful aura quickly approached, and the silhouette of the Venerable Tai Yu quickly appeared within the black world.

Although Zhou Xuzi did not send a sound transmission, the huge commotion caused by God Emperors's fighting had immediately alarmed him.

He immediantly saw Zhou Xuzi who had lost his mind, but he could not see Zhou Qingchen's figure or feel his aura…

Venerable Taiyu instantly understood what happened. The only thing that could cause the Eternal Heaven God Emperor to go crazy was Zhou Qingchen's death.

But this was a land of darkness. With the Northern Region's Devil Queen in front of them, there were still two Witches so powerful that they even frightened him. Another 8th Level Divine Master was quickly approaching too…

"Master, let's go!"

Venerable Taiyu tore apart layers of darkness and rushed to Zhou Xuzi's side, grabbing his arm: "Let's go! Hurry up and leave!"

Bang!

His arm and even his body was ruthlessly pushed away by Zhou Xuzi.

Venerable Taiyu moved again in a flash, blocking in front of Zhou Xuzi. He stared straight into Zhou Xuzi's chaotic and sinister eyes: "Master! Do you want to let Zhou Qingchen die for nothing… Let's go! Return to the realm! Think of revenge!"

The three words "Zhou Qingchen" stabbed straight into the depths of his soul. Zhou Xuzi's entire body suddenly shook, and his eyes finally regained some clarity.

Amongst the dark storm that was running amoke, a speck of white luster suddenly emerged. Under such a frightening power, only 90% of it was destroyed. The remaining parts were still emitting a flawless white light, which was deeply reflected in Zhou Xuzi's eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he trembled as he reached out with his hand to grab the jade fragment. He firmly held it in his hand, afraid that it would be harmed in the slightest.

That was the Changsheng Jade that he had personally forged for Zhou Qingchen on the day he was born.

In his entire life, it had never left his side.

The insanity dissipated, and old tears rolled down his cheeks. He turned around and flew away with Venerable Taiyu by his side. "Yun Che... Chi Wuyao... "

Zhou Xuzi's voice traveled from afar, and every word was filled with grief and hatred: "Eternal Heaven Realm… Eastern Divine Region... The strength of the three Divine Regions… vows to destroy the Northern Divine Region… I will grind your bones and scatter your ashes!"

"Eh…Aaaah!"

The sky abruptly darkened, and Jie Xin and Jie Ling's darkness profound energy they were using was actually being slightly distorted by Eternal Calamity of Darkness. Being caught off guard, Yun Che suddenly flew out, pouncing straight towards Zhou Xuzi.

"Chi!"

Ripping sounds came from the sky, a golden shadow shot over, and in the instant in came into contact with Yun Che's body, it wrapped around him like a spirit serpent, forcibly sealing off his movements.

With a flash of a black shadow, Qianye Ying'er stood in front of Yun Che, grabbed his shoulders and said solemnly: "You can't kill him, save your strength!"

In the distance, the figures of Zhou Xuzi and Venerable Tai Yu had already disappeared, and their auras had disappeared as well.

Yun Che's pupils shrank as his entire body swayed and a large blood fog violently sprayed out from his mouth. His eyes were also empty, and he slowly fell down, as if all his vitality and soul had been sucked out of his body.

He lost consciousness.

Although he was venting his anger by killing Zhou Qingchen in front of Zhou Xuzi, he had only vented a little of his anger.

Seeing Zhou Xuzi in front of him without being able to do anything, the hatred he felt for himself was the deepest pain and torment.

Chi Wuyao walked over, glanced at the Yun Che who fainted from hatred, and sighed, "He had clearly already transformed into an evil ghost, yet he still acted like a child."

Qianye Ying'er carried him in her embrace and said in a very soft voice, "Perhaps everyone has forgotten that he is only around 30… For people he is a child. "

Chi Wuyao: "..."

Qianye Ying'er took a step forward, walking in the direction of the dark profound ark. Her steps were light and her speed was slow. After a while, their figures disappeared into the darkness.

"Sigh." Chi Wuyao shook her head lightly and muttered, "I don't know if this is right or wrong."

"Hua Jin." she whispered.

A rainbow silhouette shone slightly, and a black aura silently appeared in front of Chi Wuyao as it bent its knee to pay respect.

"How did it go?" She asked.

Hua Jin reached out her hand and lifted up a pitch black devil bead. "Master, everything that you want is inside this nead. Should still thank that Eternal Heaven God Emperor for his cooperation."

Chi Wuyao received it, scanning it with her divine sense. The corners of her mouth raised up slightly: "Very good."

Suddenly, the expression in her eyes changed, and her figure instantly turned illusory, disappearing in front of Hua Jin.

"…!?" Hua Jin subconsciously opened her mouth but instantly sealed her mouth so no sound was emitted. Her aura had also been completely concealed as her entire body disappeared from where she stood like a ghost.

Chi Wuyao shot straight through the dark space. The instant her figure reappeared, she had already released her enormous spirit sense, which instantly spread to five li, hundred li, thousand li, ten thousand li…

But immediately, her eyebrows creased slightly.

"Get out here!" With a low shout, ripples appeared in the surrounding space.

There were no aura, no trace, and no response.

Her soul power restrained, Chi Wuyao stood in place and muttered to herself in a low voice, "Could i have been mistaken?"

Breathing softly, she turned around and disappeared from the spot.

One breath of time… Two breaths… Three breaths!

"Chi!"

Space suddenly cracked as Chi Wuyao's figure appeared once more. Her spirit sense was also spread out at the fastest speed possible.

How could she believe she was mistaken?

However, this time, there was nothing.

That light aura which flashed past seemed to have escaped out of her divine sense range in an extremely short moment, leaving her with no place to search.

However, it was impossible for such a person to exist in the current world.

Just who was it…
