Chapter 248: Blood Knife River! The Death of Yao Wuqing
"Do you understand?" Dark Morning asked.
"I am foolish," came the reply.
Dark Morning casually swung his sword again and asked, "Do you understand?"
"I..." Yao Wuqing had not finished speaking when Dark Morning swung his sword once more, inquiring, "Do you understand?"
This time, Yao Wuqing did not respond. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, picturing the simple and unadorned sword strike that Dark Morning had executed multiple times.
After an unknown amount of time, Yao Wuqing's right hand instinctively moved, the Demon Blade slightly swinging forward, instantly injuring a mid-stage expert at the waist, rendering him unable to fight.
Yang Chen nodded slightly, admiring Yao Wuqing, who was lost in contemplation.
In his state of enlightenment, Yao Wuqing completely forgot that he was on a battlefield. His right hand moved unconsciously, striking again and again as he comprehended the 'intent.'
"There are countless forms of 'intent'; it depends on what you can comprehend," Yang Chen murmured.
"Only my brother would teach 'intent' to others," Great Unity Celestial Sovereign said with a slight shake of his head.
"What I need him to do is far more difficult than passing on this thing," Yang Chen replied with complexity in his tone.
"Hmm? Now that the Small Thousand Worlds are about to be unified, are you sending that kid to the Upper Realm?" Great Unity Celestial Sovereign asked.
Yang Chen did not respond further, looking at Yao Wuqing with a complicated expression.
Dozens of powerful beings from the Demigod Realm fell under Yao Wuqing's blade. Suddenly, Yao Wuqing opened his eyes and shouted, "Devour!" A blood-red blade light descended, instantly severing the bodies of several Fighting Saint Experts at the waist, draining their vital blood with the Blood-Red Demon Blade, intensifying the killing intent and malevolence!
"Ah, I didn't expect him to finally comprehend the 'Devour' intent," Yang Chen said, shaking his head slightly. "I hope someone can help you through your confusion."
"Big brother, this Devour intent is impressive; with one strike, it forcibly extracts others' vital blood," Great Unity Celestial Sovereign said, his eyes shining brightly.
"Ah, merely a form of Devour intent; it is ultimately a minor path. Moreover, he can only extract vital blood after killing his enemies to strengthen his own weapon. Among the three thousand intents, it is the lowest tier," Yang Chen sighed and shook his head, his tone filled with lament.
"Blade!" After absorbing the enemies' vital blood, Yao Wuqing shouted again and swung his sword once more. Instantly, dozens of Blood-Red Demon Blades were unleashed simultaneously, all aimed at taking the enemies' heads and kissing their throats!
"Blade intent? Devour intent? Backstab Throat Kiss?" Yang Chen was momentarily stunned but quickly realized and shouted loudly, "Good good good! Ha ha! With a child like this, how can we not achieve great things?"
"Blood Knife River!" Yao Wuqing's blood-red eyes showed no emotion as he swung the Demon Blade with his right hand. Countless vital blood streams surged forth, gathering in front of the Demon Blade without merging into it, forming a vast river of blood filled with countless illusory Blood-Red Demon Blades.
"Domain?" The Jade Emperor couldn't help but exclaim, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
Yao Wuqing swung the right hand holding the Demon Blade again; the river of blood followed its movements and coiled around the blade's edge. Gradually, a flicker of emotion appeared in Yao Wuqing's eyes. As focus gathered in his gaze, he sheathed the Demon Blade and slightly bowed to the gray-clad elder, saying, "Thank you, Senior."
Dark Morning smiled faintly, a trace of reluctance flashing in his pupils but quickly erased.
"The young demon doesn't need to be overly polite. Here, this is merely a favor I owe your predecessor; I am returning it to you now," Dark Morning said as he helped Yao Wuqing up with a smile.
"I wonder if Senior could tell me your name?" Yao Wuqing respectfully inquired, completely disregarding that they were amidst chaos.
"Name?" Dark Morning replied and then slightly raised his voice. "My name is~~"
"Pfft!" A palm pierced directly through Yao Wuqing's heart. In Yao Wuqing's astonished gaze, another palm struck out.
"Heartless!" Yang Chen shouted angrily, and then his right hand summoned the Divine Book, which immediately surged forth, enveloping the head of Yao Wuqing. The power of fortune and merit continuously poured out, infusing into Yao Wuqing's body.
"Kid, go in peace." Dark Morning leaped out dramatically, vanishing from everyone's sight in a flash.
"Wuqing Prince!!" Ying Sha and the others all shouted in anger.
"Wuqing." A delicate voice called out, and Zhou Ling rushed over, covered in blood, with a phantom of a green dragon coiling around her head. At that moment, Ying Sha and the others halted their attacks.
"Best Actor, that person just now was not one of my Order." Jade Emperor approached calmly.
"Yes, I know." Yang Chen nodded and said, "Jade Emperor, regardless of the past events, shall we temporarily withdraw?"
"Yes. Order forces, retreat to the first level of Tower of Babel." Jade Emperor bellowed.
"Understood, Celestial Emperor."
"Wuqing, do you have anything else to say?" Yang Chen asked with a hint of sadness.
"Celestial Emperor, I just emerged from seclusion, preparing to serve my celestial kingdom, but unexpectedly fell victim to a scheming villain and met my demise. The only person I feel indebted to in this life is Celestial Emperor. If there is a next life, I will definitely take Celestial Emperor as my adoptive father to repay my sins in this life." Yao Wuqing said sorrowfully: "The one who troubled me was the Void Celestial Sovereign. When I emerged from seclusion, I had already slain him. Now this Void Demon Fire is gifted to Celestial Emperor."
Yang Chen remained silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
Yao Wuqing then turned to Zhou Ling and said: "I intended to bring peace to the world and then ask for your hand from Celestial Emperor, but unfortunately, now I cannot do so."
"Wuqing, if there is a next life, I will definitely accompany you," Zhou Ling said tearfully.
"Heh heh, if there is a next life..." Yao Wuqing's eyes became vacant as his blood-red gaze looked towards the golden void above.
Yang Chen calmly looked up at Golden Space, a subtle change flickering between his brows, and suddenly, Golden Space shook.
"What’s going on? Protect the Celestial Emperor!" Yi Tianzheng shouted angrily.
"Yes, National Master."
Amidst the chaos, a blood-colored phantom emerged from above Yao Wuqing, slowly rising and gradually entering Golden Space.
Seeing the opportunity, Yang Chen shouted, "Take the Void Demon Fire with you!" He then threw the Void Demon Fire towards the blood-colored phantom, which contained something mixed within.
"Yao Wuqing, your future path depends on you now," Yang Chen murmured as he watched the blood-colored phantom drift away.
"Celestial Emperor brother, is Ruthless dead?" Zhou Ling cried as she collapsed into Yang Chen's arms.
"Perhaps due to this strange place, Ruthless has gone to another realm. I believe he will return one day," Yang Chen reassured Zhou Ling, also comforting himself.
"Farewell, Ruthless Prince," Yi Tianzheng proclaimed loudly.
"Farewell, Ruthless Prince!"
"Farewell, Ruthless Prince!"
"Farewell, Ruthless Prince!" the Shadow Kill Warriors echoed in unison. After three loud shouts, the blood-colored phantom vanished into Golden Space.
"Send the order to pursue the Gray-Robed Elder with all our might," Yang Chen commanded, a slight smile forming in his heart. The color of Dark Morning's skin is up to me; besides, he is masked. No matter how thoroughly you search the world, you won't find him.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor," everyone nodded in response.
"Except for Nine Sovereigns and the various military Captains, the remaining Soldiers are to wait outside the Tower of Babel." Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Although it has been a long time since I last saw all of you My Lords, this is not the time for reminiscing. Once we return to court, I will share drinks and talk with all of you My Lords." Yang Chen said cheerfully as he looked at the familiar faces.
Most of these people had followed him from the very beginning. Their hard work and struggles allowed Shadow Kill to grow step by step. Without their relentless efforts back then, perhaps Shadow Kill would not have reached its current height.
A successful leader would never be someone who hides away when the birds are gone or cooks the hounds after the rabbits are dead. The actions of Liu Bang in his past life always displeased Yang Chen. A ruler should be suspicious of those who do not use people and trust those who do.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor," everyone replied excitedly.
How long has it been? From the time when it was merely an Empire, facing the invasion of Longxiao Dragon Emperor, the entire nation’s star generals collectively migrated to preserve a bloodline. By the time they returned, what was once a weak Empire that a single Demigod Realm powerhouse could easily overturn had now become a vast Celestial Kingdom, dominating its territory and standing in a tripartite balance.
"Great Unity Celestial Sovereign, shall we go down together to meet the Jade Emperor?" Yang Chen asked playfully.
"Good idea, Ha ha. The Jade Emperor? Perhaps from today onward, there will be no more Jade Emperor. Ha ha" laughed Great Unity Celestial Sovereign, causing everyone else present to burst into laughter. Eagle Tianyi, Li Mu, Li Qi, and Heavenly Gift understood what was happening and chuckled lightly.
"National Master, invite both Emperor Wujing and Dragon Emperor to come to the Tower of Babel to observe." Yang Chen said in a serious tone.
"Observe? Celestial Emperor, whose battle is it?" Yi Tianzheng asked.
"It is between me and Great Unity Celestial Sovereign." Yang Chen looked at Great Unity Celestial Sovereign, who also turned to look at him, and they both laughed heartily at the same time.
"Li Qi, and all military Captains, heed my command." Yang Chen instructed.
"I am here." The military Captains stepped forward, respectfully kneeling on one knee as they responded.
“Li Qi is the Grand Marshal of the world, mobilizing the three armies, while simultaneously reclaiming the Three Continents of Earth, Xuan, and Huang. All legion commanders will assist in this effort, and anyone who disobeys will be executed,” Yang Chen said coldly. “The remaining Three Continents have been under others' control for too long; it is time to take them back one by one!”
“I obey your command!”
“Send the order down, with Blood Robe as the vanguard commander, and the other legion commanders as support, to also seize the Three Continents of Earth, Xuan, and Huang.” The Great Unity Celestial Sovereign provocatively looked at Yang Chen and smirked.
“You cannot win against me,” Yang Chen said, shaking his head slightly.
“How would you know if you don’t try?” The Great Unity Celestial Sovereign also shook his head slightly.
“Then let’s give it a try,” Yang Chen nodded and then said, “You may leave now; it’s time for those unrelated to withdraw from the Demon God Continent.”
Liu Xian nodded and said, “I hope we won’t have to resort to violence.”
Yang Chen shook his head slightly and remained silent.
In the Tower of Babel,
The Jade Emperor was arranging troops. Upon seeing Yang Chen and the Great Unity Celestial Sovereign arrive, he slightly cupped his hands and said, “Best Actor, Great Unity Celestial Sovereign.”
“Ah, Jade Emperor. What brings you here?” Yang Chen asked knowingly.
“This time, the divine relics are opening for the last time. That chaotic fellow hasn’t descended to the lower realm; it seems something has happened in the Upper Realm. I want to lead my brothers up first to defend our territory,” the Jade Emperor said earnestly.
