Chapitre 96: Yo! I came here to kill you
Stepping into the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest, pure dark profound energy filled his senses.
If anyone were to enter this place, their vision and senses would be severely limited, and their profound strength and vitality would be drained at an alarming rate.
According to the records in the Supreme Ocean Palace, it is said that even the strongest cultivators can only maintain their strength for a mere 100 breaths within this place.
However, this had no effect on Yun Wuji.
First, because the greatest trait of his profound veins was that they could never be suppressed by any law or restriction, so he felt no difference here. Secondly, he cultivated Light Profound Strength, the natural nemesis of darkness, which further nullified any adverse effects from the surrounding energy.
Naturally, if he were someone who cultivated darkness, he wouldn't be affected by the suppression either.
Yun Wuji walked slowly ahead, the cave was narrow like a tunnel, but as he continued to walk forward, the cave became wider.
"Netherworld Udumbara Flower." After walking for a few seconds, Yun Wuji heard strange voices.
"Hohoho!"
"Yemete kudasai~"
"Ewooo!"
"Ajumma!"
Walking ahead, he saw a purple light in the distance. As he approached, he discovered a flower.
The flower's stem and leaves were purplish-black, reaching about three meters tall. The flower bloomed in a brilliant purple, its petals enveloped in a faint purple mist that exuded a breath of the netherworld, accompanied by distant sounds of ghostly cries and laughter.
This flower only grows in dark, cold lands, and it takes a full twenty-four years to bloom once. After it blooms, it withers away in just three days.
Right now, it is still more than ten years away from blooming.
Seeing the flower, Yun Wuji squinted his eyes and raised his head slightly to look above it. In the novel, the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign is said to be hiding above the flower.
However, the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign wasn't there. Yun Wuji wasn't surprised. He looked around, and sure enough, he saw the Devil Sovereign standing a few meters behind the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, watching him with his dark, penetrating eyes.
*'Penetrating eyes'—imagine someone penetrating you with their eyes, lol. Is this where 'rape gaze' came from?*
"Yo!" Yun Wuji smiled and waved his hand in greeting. "I came here to kill you and take the World-Defying Heaven Manual. You wouldn't mind, right?"
"Heh, you can actually see this Sovereign from this distance," the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign said, his expression showing surprise. But as soon as he heard the latter part of Yun Wuji's words, he burst into laughter. "Hehehe, hahaha! Killing this Sovereign? You, a puny, humble human?! Hahahaha, that's so funny! I haven't heard something as ridiculous in the past million years!"
"No, wait... did you just say World-Defying Heaven Manual?" The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign suddenly reacted, his dark eyes narrowing as he fixed his gaze on Yun Wuji.
He was extremely surprised when he heard this, no one should have known about his possession of the World-Defying Heaven Manual!
In this whole universe, only two beings knew it; himself and the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations.
Only after the Evil Infant had forcefully taken control of his body, did he learn that the Evil Infant possessed the third part of the World-Defying Heaven Manual.
Even back in the Era of Gods, no one knew that the third part of the World-Defying Heaven Manual was in the hands of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations.
After he broke free from the Evil Infant's control, he took the fragment of the World-Defying Heaven Manual.
"Hmm, you're a bit slow, I see...hiding in this dark place has affected your mental CPU. That's right, I came for the World-Defying Heaven Manual. Why else would I bother coming to this trashy place and talking to a half-dead relic like you?" Yun Wuji nodded, a warm smile on his face. His voice was soft and soothing, giving a pleasant feeling, but the words that came from his mouth were anything but pleasant.
"Hahaha, I don't know how you managed to find out about this, but I must admit, you've succeeded in angering me. I originally planned to leave your corpse intact, but now... I'll make you understand what 'living hell' truly means. After breaking your limbs, I'll take my time torturing you and slowly extracting information from you." Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign laughed angrily, and narrowed his eyes, trying to control the twitching at the corners of his eye. He slowly walked forward, his hands clenched into fists.
He was a True Devil, a ruler among devils. Countless life forms trembled at the mere mention of his name, yet this filthy, insignificant human dared to look down on him and insult him! How dare he!
The audacity! Who does he think he is? Does he actually think that his genius is almost frightening?!
Seeing Devil Sovereign approaching, Yun Wuji's smile slowly faded. Without waiting for the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign to make the first move, intense light erupted from his entire body, illuminating the cave like a 100,000-watt lamp.
"Argh! Disgusting light! How can someone in this era cultivate Light Profound Strength?!" Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign roared in agony, raising his hands to shield his face.
As the light touched him, black smoke began to rise from his body. His scream intensified, the pain far worse than any flesh wound—it was a thousand, no, ten thousand times more excruciating!
It was the kind of pain that came from deep within his soul, as though his soul was being consumed by the blazing flames of light.
'As expected,' Yun Wuji thought to himself, nodding inwardly as he observed Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign's reaction. The light was truly effective against Devils, which was why the first to die in the ancient war had been the Goddess of Life, Li Suo.
She was assassinated by the Nine Fiend Devil Emperor, who used the Nine Fiend Devil Poison derived from the Sky Poison Pearl to kill her.
Boom!
Without giving the Devil Sovereign a chance, Yun Wuji stomped on the ground and shot toward him like a cannonball. A visible wave of white air exploded from his movement, creating a massive pit in the ground beneath him.
Instantly, Yun Wuji appeared above the Devil Sovereign. He raised his right fist, and everything around it seemed to collapse inward, drawn towards the center of his strike.
Even the darkness and light themselves were pulled in.
The compressed energy within his fist was like a black hole, and tiny bolts of black lightning crackled and jumped across the surface of his clenched fist.
Bang!
The incomparably powerful fist descended upon the Devil Sovereign's head. With a deafening explosion, the cave walls shook violently and he was immediately slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater.
If this cave hadn't been somewhat special, it would have been completely obliterated by the sheer force of the impact.
"Agh!!! How dare you?!" the Devil Sovereign roared in pain, his red eyes wide with fury. Black blood poured from his scalp, staining his already dark face. A small dent from the impact of the punch appeared on his head.
The punch earlier was incredibly powerful. If it had been a normal human with the same strength, their head would have already burst like a watermelon.
"Roaaa! AGh!!! Stop!! Despicable human, fight me!!!" Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign roared in fury as he rushed out from the hole in the ground. However, the moment he took a single step, he was met with an intense surge of Light. Pain immediately assaulted him once again.
Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign was a True Devil, with strength once equivalent to the True God Realm. As the ruler of his clan, he was far stronger than the average devil. However, after being captured by the Evil Infant and sealed by Ni Xuan for a million years, his strength drastically diminished. It was now so weak that it was less than one-millionth of its former power. At present, he only possesses the strength of a 6th-level Sovereign Profound Realm!
And against Yun Wuji's Light Profound Strength, he couldn't even unleash 50% of his remaining power.
"Enough!!! Domain Expansion! Lightless Eternal Night!" Unable to endure the agony and humiliation of being suppressed by a mere human, the Devil Sovereign roared with fury, unleashing his Domain!
Pitch-black darkness, even deeper than the darkness filling the cave, erupted from the Devil Sovereign's body and expanded outward, swallowing everything around him.
This was his domain, Lightless Eternal Night! Everything that is covered by this domain will be swallowed whole once they are covered by this domain. Not a single trace would be left, including light!
The Lightless Eternal Night surged outward, spreading rapidly and nearly swallowing Yun Wuji and his light. But just as it was about to envelop him completely, Yun Wuji smiled and said calmly, "I also have a domain."
The light that emanated from Yun Wuji's body was intensely bright far more powerful than before. It erupted from his center, expanding outward in a blinding wave. As it clashed against the Lightless Eternal Night, the darkness halted for a split second, struggling to resist. But within moments, the radiant light pushed the darkness back, crushing the Devil Sovereign's domain completely.
"Argh...! How can I be defeated by a mere human?! Why...? Stop using light and fight me...! Argh!!! I curse you!!!" The backlash from breaking his domain caused the Devil Sovereign to suffer injuries, and with the light being many times stronger than before, his cries became hoarse from the excruciating pain.
He roared in desperation, thrashing violently in an attempt to shield himself, all the while cursing Yun Wuji with every ounce of rage he had left.
Seeing the Devil Sovereign struggling and roaring in anguish, Yun Wuji grinned. He was never a fan of hard fights, he preferred to bully others with his overwhelming strength. A life-and-death battle? Nah, he could leave that to Yun Che.
Yun Wuji clenched his fist, and in an instant, his body flashed, appearing behind the Devil Sovereign. With a powerful swing, he punched him in the head.
Bang!
"Agh!! Bastard! Fight me head-on!"
"Despicable human! Stop using the Ligh! AHHHHH!"
"Yamete onii-chan!"
"Please stop!!! WUAAAA!"
Yun Wuji continued his relentless attacks, and whenever the Devil Sovereign attempted to retaliate, he would use Light to restrain him. Soon, the entire cave echoed with the desperate roars and cries of the Devil Sovereign.
At first, he roared furiously and tried to fight back, but as the assault continued, he could only focus on defending himself. Eventually, he began begging for mercy.
Thud!
Finally, ten minutes later, with one last punch, Yun Wuji crushed the Devil Sovereign's head. Without it, the body collapsed to the ground, kneeling for a moment before falling to the side with a loud thud.
It took Yun Wuji more than ten minutes to kill him. If it had been a normal human, they would have died in the first moments. This was mainly because, despite losing most of his cultivation and power, the Devil Sovereign's body was still far stronger than that of an average human.
"Gotcha!" Yun Wuji walked over to the lifeless body he skillfully opened the body's pocket dimension, skimming through the contents. Among the small, delicate items he found, he stored them away, but it was the black jade that caught his attention
Yun Wuji held the jade and laughed happily, his main goal from coming here was this black jade.
This was the first fragment of the World-Defying Heaven Manual!
With it and with the help of Xiao Lingxi, he could start cultivating the Law of Nothingness!
After searching the body completely, Yun Wuji waved his hand and stored it inside the Sky Poison Pearl. He then whispered, "Although you've died, I will use your body for the greater good."
