Kapitel 4: Blackmailing God Emperors (2)
Are you watching, Wuxin?
Those billowing smokes dancing in the distance and all those screaming is daddy's present to you.
Are you watching, Ling'er?
These ashes are what remain of those Eternal Heaven bastards.
You must be hurt, right? You must be angry too. And I don't know how much suffering you guys felt in your last moments.
I don't. I truly don't.
I could only imagine it was greater than what I feel right now.
You must be sad, as well. It was unfair. You knew nothing, but you have to die without knowing anything.
All because of me. Because of my weakness. Because of my naivety.
I never once think that I want to be strong, to remove my weakness. To become so powerful no one will dare take anything away from me ever again, no.
Because a world without you is a meaningless world. Living is meaningless, and so does dying. If either one is the same, then why bother living?
So I sought to die. I want to meet with you guys so, so badly. Missing you pained me more than even the constant torture the wretched mark.
"Live..."
But Xuanyin, you saved me when all I ever want is to let go of everything and reunite with my friends and family.
With your dying breath and flickering life, you set a curse on me. A curse I could never get rid of because it is your will, your love, and your life.
You traded this filthy soul of mine with yours. You wound your sister's heart without hope to ever heal. You hurt the person you cherished most because your heart told you to save me.
You're not fair, Xuanyin. You know I could never repay your love yet you part with me with this painful gift.
So I lived. I lived and I survived another day. I've gained power great enough to rain hell on our enemies. I reaped countless lives, and among them were more innocent people than the guilty ones.
Innocent, gentle kind souls. People just like you. People who didn't deserve such a fate.
But I killed anyway. I killed, I killed, and I killed some more. I destroy anything and everything, especially miracles and treasures and wonders. I destroy them because I couldn't stand such beauty to exist in a world without you.
I killed anyone and everyone. I won't allow them to decorate their faces with smile and laughter and joy and happiness.
How dare this filthy world have those beautiful things when my world is nothing but? How dare they enjoy such luxury after they robbed them from us?
I only just realized now that I have become a devil. Truly, and utterly. Even the most wretched devil I can find in the north is countless times more human than I am.
Hahahaha. You probably hate me now. You must be.
I don't deserve your love anymore with these filthy hands. I don't, I truly don't but...
"AAAAAARRGGHHHHHH!!!!"
My throat is hurting, but I don't know why. I could faintly hear a scream. The ugliest one out of countless others I have heard so far.
Ahh, it's such a delight to hear the wretched scream full of painful sorrow. I relish in the thought of bringing the world so much pain, just like they did to us.
Are you watching, Xuanyin?
I am living now.
Tell me, is this the sight you wish to see?
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Yun Che, what brings you here? I heard you were cultivating in the Dragon God Realm, were you not?"
Zhou Xuzi smiled as he nodded, approving Yun Che's proper greetings and politeness.
"What happens to you? You seem injured. Did something happen to you on your way here?"
Qianye Fantian noticed the wound on his wrist that has just been healed. He could also faintly smell the smell of blood from him.
Of course, Qianye Fantian wasn't worried about Yun Che's well-being in the slightest. He only asked the question to probe to how extent has his treatment progressed. The wound on his wrist and blood would most likely caused by the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark, after all.
"Hm? I just noticed that after you mention it, Brother Brahma. Indeed, what just happened, Yun Che? Did someone lay a hand on you on your way here? You can tell me who it is and I will teach them how wrong they are if they think they can do anything to our Eastern Divine Region's greatest treasure."
Zhou Xuzi said in a stern voice, clearly showing his intention to protect and favor Yun Che in front of the other God Emperors. Qianye Fantian and Yue Wuya thought it was naturally expected, so they went along with it.
"Yeah, Yun Che. You can tell me who is that suicidal fool who thought they could get away after doing you harm. How about you come to my Brahma Monarch God Realm? You can cultivate in peace there, and I'll give you the best resources more than you could imagine. I'll tell Ying'er to assist your cultivation as well. How about it?"
Even though he didn't actually think Yun Che would go to his realm, Qianye Fantian still want to make his intention of to the other God Emperors clear that he also wanted Yun Che.
'Hmph, still as shameless as ever I see. It was you who used your daughter to ambush him and afflict him with the Death-Wishing Mark. And yet, you have the audacity to invite Yun Che over to your realm to cultivate? Do you think me and old man Eternal Heaven are senile enough to buy that crap?'
Yue Wuya snickered in disdain hearing Qianye Fantian's shameless invitation, but he still invite Yun Che to his own realm just like the other God Emperors as well.
"Come to Moon God Realm, you and Qingyue is a married husband and wife and it must be fate that you two were reunited at my realm. Oh, don't worry. This Emperor is not so low as to hold grudges against juniors, so you may rest at ease. Come to the realm and help me educate my useless sons. You and Qingyue can have whatever you want while you're there."
Qianye Fantian and Zhou Xuzi were shocked. Yue Wuya's words were just ordinary invitation to cultivate in his realm at first glance, but the underlying meaning is completely different. He indirectly implied that he would make either Yun Che or Xia Qingyue as a successor to the Moon God Realm!
If this casual conversation was overheard by some random pedestrian on the street, it would surely cause a massive shock around the entire world! One of the mightiest forces in the Eastern Divine Region, a king realm that has a million year-long history standing as one of its leaders, had so casually imply that he would give the throne of succession to an outsider! It was absurd!
But considering Yun Che's talent then, well... it might not be so absurd after all.
"This junior is whole-heartedly touched by the kindness of seniors, but I'm afraid that such a thing couldn't be decided so casually. I will give my confirmation to whether or not accepting your kind offers at a later date. Now, I beg that seniors could excuse me for I have an urgent matter to attend to in the Star God Realm."
Right after Yun Che finished his words, the three God Emperors were jolted awake. Their minds were so preoccupied in thought of how to win Yun Che over to their realm that they completely forgot the reason why they came here in the first place.
It seemed that their guesses was correct, after all. Yun Che's words basically confirmed their suspicion that Yun Che knew whatever the Star God Realm doing inside. No one would rush over such vast distances from the Dragon God Realm, full-speed, with the fastest profound ark in the entire Eastern Divine Region just to sight-see.
"Do you know what is happening in the Star God Realm for them to erect these barriers, Yun Che?"
"Yes, I know the reason why. Now if seniors would excuse me, I have to go in. I couldn't let Royal Father wait for me any longer."
Hearing this, the three God Emperors' expressions became distorted. Royal Father? Who is he referring to? Don't tell me…
"Yun Che, who are you referring to as 'Royal Father'?"
Yun Che slapped his forehead as if he had just done a mistake and hurriedly answered in a flustered tone.
"This… How can I forgot about this… I have made a mistake, ugh…"
He looked troubled and this further increased the anxiety of the God Emperors.
"What? What mistake have you done? Who are you referring to as a Royal Father? Speak clearly."
Yue Wuya spoke impatiently. It was clear that the others were also the same..
"Haah, now that it has come to this, I guess it is not a bad thing to let the exalted God Emperors know about it."
Zhou Xuzi and Yue Wuya became nervous hearing Yun Che's deliberate pause after saying this.
"Royal Father Xing Juekong has betrothed both Princess Jasmine the Heavenly Slaughter Star God and Princess Caizhi the Heavenly Wolf Star God to me. In addition, Royal Father has also designated me as the Crown Prince of Star God Realm after 3 years and it was meant to be announced to the world just before the official ceremony of my crowning. So it is my mistake of disclosing this fact without Royal Father's consent, and I am truly ashamed for it."
W…W-What?!!
The three God Emperors were shocked beyond belief of what they had just heard just now.
Yun Che was designated as a crown prince and would hold his crowning ceremony three years from now? And he was also betrothed to both princesses of the royal family of the Star God Realm?!
What nonsense is this?!
Yun Che only stayed in the Star God Realm for a short few days, and he was marrying both princesses and become the crown prince?!
"W-What?!"
It was Zhou Xuzi who broke the silence first. It was because he deeply appreciated Yun Che's prodigy-level talent in the profound way and his upright attitude. He would make the perfect disciple and the successor of his realm if he can win Yun Che over.
In fact, it was the same mindset that every realm king has regardless of whether it was lower, middle, upper, or even king realms.
They all wanted Yun Che to become their heir and successor, and only the upper star realms and king realms entertained the thought seriously. It was nothing but a pipe dream for the middle star realms, and the lower star realms were simply unqualified to even dream about it.
It was the same for Yue Wuya and Qianye Fantian. Although Yun Che knew best that it was a different reason altogether for why Qianye Fantian wanted to obtain him.
Zhou Xuzi and Yue Wuya were stunned silly by Yun Che's words. They were annoyed at Xing Juekong for retorting to such trickery, but the end result is what they hoped to achieve. At this, they had to acknowledge to cunning of that old fox to beat them before they could even start.
Xing Juekong even beat Qianye Fantian who was offering his daughter, one of the world's only two Goddesses. They thought that there would never be young men that could resist the allure of the Brahma Goddess, but today they were proven to be wrong.
A faint glimmer of dangerous light was glowing in Qianye Fantian's eyes, but he didn't show it. Yun Che watched Qianye Fantian coldly and inwardly scoffed.
Yun Che just smiled in response and calmly executed the mastered Star God's Broken Shadow, and eight afterimages were formed.
Although it is easy for the God Emperors to determine his true body, the same couldn't be said about those with the cultivation of Divine King or below. Even Divine Sovereigns would be hard-pressed to identify his real body in a short time.
It was undeniably the mastered level Star God's Broken Shadow that formed eight afterimages. It was that strong of a profound movement technique, one of the strongest instantaneous profound movement techniques in the world, in fact.
They couldn't be mistaken about Yun Che's level of mastery over it.
The God Emperors were shocked. It was because there were only a handful of people that have mastered the Star God's Broken Shadow to its master level in the current era.
There were only 3 people in fact. They were Star God Emperor Xing Juekong, Heavenly Origin Star God Tumi, and Heavenly Jade Star God Aster.
Even the Heavenly Slaughter Star God that was known throughout the world for her ability to assassinate and movements was just at the 6th level.
How can he master the Star God's Broken Shadow in just a few short days?! What kind of monster is he?!
Even Qianye Fantian frowned in disbelief at what his own eyes were seeing. Even though he knew that Yun Che would most likely learn it when he was still in the lower realm, it was still a few dozens of years at most! How can he master it just in a such short period of time?!
A few dozens of years were nothing in God Realm. A single secluded cultivation session could last for hundreds or even thousands of years. It was even hard for them, God Emperors, who were unparalleled in talent in their era to master a technique of such caliber in a thousand years.
They felt like the back of their head was being punched and their world crumbling to pieces. Yun Che turned their common sense upside down.
But the God Emperors' shock hasn't ended yet.
After he performed the Star God's Broken Shadow, a vermillion great sword suddenly materialized in his hands.
He drew an arc with his great sword and a tiny red orb at the size of his hand floated behind him. The red orb rose and crackled with the power of tribulation lightning above his head before shattering into countless pieces, shooting rains of dense and heavy sword energies down.
The sword energies shot for a few hundred meters before shaking violently and vanished into nothing.
Yun Che's complexion also became worse after he performed the technique. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead and he gasped for breath, but the God Emperors were not aware of it because they still haven't made sense of what they just saw.
The faint shivering in their hearts caused by the tribulation lightning's frightening power still lingered. The three God Emperors were stunned that they forgot to maintain their dignity and shouted in unison after registering what their eyes had just seen.
"The Bloodmoon Immortal Slaying Sword Formation?!!!"
