Against the Gods

"Why?" Yun Che asked puzzled: "What secrets are hidden there? Is it extremely dangerous?"

Jasmine's few words undoubtedly showed that what was hidden under the Cloud's End Cliff was by no means an ordinary secret.

"It's more than dangerous." Jasmine said sternly, "I can't tell you what's hidden under the Cloud's End Cliff. But it's terrifying, far beyond what you can imagine."

Yun Che: "..."

Jasmine glanced at Yun Che, and said in a slow voice, "I didn't tell you the source of darkness in the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest, the secrets at the bottom of the Cloud End Cliff, it's not that I don't want to tell you, or that I don't trust you, but... …”

Jasmine raised her head, her eyes became more solemn than ever before: "I originally thought that this world is nothing but ordinary among the trillions of planets in the great world, and even some low-level beings, if I hadn't known that the Heretic God's seeds were scattered here, I wouldn't either. I came here. But as I gradually came to know some things hidden in this world, I realized that this world is not only not simple, but its complexity and mystery completely surpassed my imagination, and even broke my imagination several times. cognition."

"..." Yun Che was suddenly stunned.

"And once these secrets are leaked and known by the people in the realm of the gods, then the world you live in will fall into never-ending disaster." Jasmine closed her eyes: "So, some things are only me. It's good for one to know."

After a brief silence, Jasmine lightly added: "Even you and I can't tell, and naturally, it's absolutely impossible for other people to know."

Although there were still thousands of curiosity and doubts in his heart, these words of Jasmine—especially her last sentence, made Yun Che no longer have the urge to ask questions, and his unhappiness and sense of loss were also swept away, and he solemnly nodded his head. Said: "I see! I will never go near the Cloud End Cliff at any time in the future. Even if I arrive at the Cloud End Cliff for a special reason, I will definitely not try to find out the secrets below... I promise Jasmine, I will definitely do it. do it."

"Okay." Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief... Yun Che had promised her something, and it was true that he never made a slip of the tongue, especially in order to get her the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, where he would risk his life, even if he was an ordinary person for a hundred lifetimes. The pain of leaving the soul will be endured.

"The Azure Cloud Continent is too far apart, even if it were me, it would take a lot of effort to go back and forth. And now that you have not recovered your profound strength, what are you going to do in ten days... Hmph, the engagement banquet, I will wait for you. After all these messes are done, I will take you to the Azure Cloud Continent, lest you be overwhelmed and waste my energy because of the two women.”

Jasmine's tone was flat at first, but when she got to the back, she was rather angry.

After he finished speaking, he threw his hands behind his back and walked away angrily.

"..." Yun Che opened his mouth wide and looked dazed. Jasmine had always had a very serious, arrogant, and aloof attitude, but considering this time... it seemed that every time she suddenly became a little angry, it was when she was talking about the woman next to him.

"Shouldn't it be... really... jealous...?" Yun Che's eyes straightened, and he whispered to himself.

A haunted place shrouded in shadows.

"Ah…………"

"Uh…………"

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

After the heavy breathing, there was a shrill roar. The entire barren ridge trembled with the roar, countless birds and profound beasts fled in fear, and in the center of the barren ridge, a cloud of dark smoke was slowly rising.

Beneath the smoke was a figure holding a pitch-black sword.

Black mist shrouded Fen Juechen's body... and this black mist was several times deeper and denser than before. The most terrifying thing is his breath, as dark as the nine secluded yellow springs from hell.

The demon blood on his body was awakened.

He felt that his strength was skyrocketing wildly, and his profound energy attributes had also turned into a purer darkness. During his awakening, his emotions were on the verge of losing control several times, but they were all suppressed by his incomparably tenacious willpower.

With both hands, he firmly grasped the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword—also the Moon Slaughter Devil Sword—which was also shrouded in black mist. He gasped heavily, and blood dripped from his trembling arms... That was because his body had not yet had time to be killed. The awakened demon blood was completely tempered, so some couldn't bear the crazy skyrocketing dark profound energy.

The blood dripping from his body was a terrifying dark red, not the bright red of a normal human being.

"Xuanyuan Wentian..." To Fen Juechen, compared to the pleasure of the skyrocketing strength, even if the pain in his body increased tenfold, it was nothing: "The first one to kill... is... you! !"

Because Xuanyuan Wentian was the culprit responsible for the destruction of the Yongye Royal Family!

The awakening of the demon blood continued, and the black mist on his body continued to rise, as if it would never end. The lingering black mist did not disperse over him for a long time, and gradually, it condensed into a grinning demon face...

Fen Juechen didn't notice that, just under the hilt of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, a pair of pitch-black long and narrow eyes slowly appeared, and then disappeared suddenly.

——————————————

For more than ten days, Yun Che had fully recovered from the serious injuries he suffered from the fierce battle with the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign. Even the profound energy that had been overdrawn completely recovered yesterday, and the silent Phoenix blood and Golden Crow blood also awoke. nearly ninety percent.

This morning, Yun Che woke up early and was about to leave the Snow Region of Extreme Ice... Because today was the day Feng Hengkong shamelessly decided on his engagement with Feng Xue'er at the Demon Sword Conference.

Yun Che did not go to Divine Phoenix City right away, but came to Blue Wind Imperial City first. He originally thought that Cang Yue would go with him, but he received Rouran's refusal from Cang Yue.

"Husband, the monarchs of the other five kingdoms will definitely be there in person, but besides being the monarch of Blue Wind, I am your wife after all, and Sister Xue'er's position in the Divine Phoenix is ​​extremely respected, if I show up to you and Sister Xue'er At the engagement banquet, the Divine Phoenix Royal Family will be somewhat uncomfortable, so it’s better for me not to be there in person.”

"However, I have already prepared the congratulatory gift, and I will send someone to the Divine Phoenix Imperial Family a few days ago." Cang Yue said with a smile, there was no jealousy or reluctance between her brows, instead she was full of softness like water: "Wait for your husband and sister Xue'er. On the big wedding day, I will definitely be there. If the husband and sister Xue'er wish to choose the imperial city as the wedding venue, it would be the best."

"Alright then." Yun Che knew that Cang Yue didn't want to go, nor was it for the Divine Phoenix Royal Family, but considering Feng Xue'er's feelings, he hugged Cang Feng and said softly, "Two or three days at most, I will bring Xue’er back, and when the time comes, I will bring you all back to the Illusory Demon Realm, my parents will definitely like you very much.”

"Well, I've always wanted to see them, and... the Little Demon Empress you often talk about." Cang Yue whispered in his ear with a smile.

Yun Che left the palace, soared into the air, and came to Jasmine's side. Jasmine didn't turn her head back, and said proudly, "Is it done? Let's go then."

After she finished speaking, she grabbed Yun Che's arm with her left hand, and ripped apart the space with her right hand.

In an instant, Yun Che circled in front of his eyes. Before he could react, the scene in front of him had completely changed. From the Blue Wind Imperial City that he was familiar with, to Divine Phoenix City, and from the Black Moon Merchant Guild, which was high in the clouds, the location, It was also the central area of ​​Divine Phoenix City.

The speed is fast and the orientation is accurate, no less than the Primordial Profound Ark.

"When will I be able to do this?" Yun Che said with envy.

"You? It's very early." Jasmine said unkindly: "It takes a lot of strength to tear apart space, and to travel through space, the consumption of profound energy is second, and the most important thing is to understand the laws of space. . The laws of space and other elements of the law are fundamentally different, to achieve thoroughness, at least thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years of comprehension and practice."

Yun Che gave Jasmine a depressed look, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious... You are obviously younger than me!

"Go ahead, look at the atmosphere, those 'VIPs' have already filled up this Divine Phoenix City very early." Jasmine looked down and said indifferently.

"You're not with me?"

"I'm not interested!" Jasmine snorted, and then followed up: "But I will stay in Divine Phoenix City."

"Oh." Yun Che responded, with Jasmine's temperament, even the people around him didn't bother to meet, let alone the engagement banquet that must have gathered countless guests. However, it was still early, and he was not in a hurry to go to Phoenix City immediately. Instead, he thought about it and asked, "Jasmine, I have one thing that I have always been curious about. What kind of power do you usually use? When I first recognized the previous Demon Sword Conference, every time you made a move… well, the direct target was instantly cut. And even though it was so powerful, I never felt any profound energy.”

"Isn't your power my profound strength? And what else... some kind of power at a higher level?"

From the first time she met Jasmine, she killed Xiao Sect's people, killed Yanlong, killed Jiaolong, killed Mu Tianbei... all of them cut the target in an instant, and the cuts were extremely flat. When she murdered at the Demon Sword Conference, a red line flashed across her face, and the opposite side was torn apart... Her aura was terrifying, but she could hardly feel the turbulence of profound energy.

And whether he fights against the enemy with bare hands, profound flames, or heavy swords, every blow is nothing but earth-shattering and sky-shattering, making the opponent's internal organs torn apart, his blood boiled, or a direct sword blowing the enemy's body into pieces... and Jasmine The momentum when killing people is simply worlds apart, like two completely different forces.

"Of course it's profound strength!" Jasmine rolled her eyes at him, and then her eyes became a little dark: "It's just that my strength is not used for fighting or hurting people, but for the sole purpose of killing people! Therefore, it will be special. ."

"...Murder?" Yun Che was taken aback.

"The increase in profound energy is essentially the increase in the density of profound energy in the profound veins, and it can also be understood as the compression of profound energy." Jasmine explained lightly, "Every time a small realm improves, it is a further compression of profound energy. It is dense, and when it is compressed to a certain extent, there will be a qualitative change... that is, the improvement of the great realm."

Yun Che nodded slightly.

Jasmine raised her palm, which was small and exquisite, and was as delicate and flawless as white snow, just by looking at this small hand, no one could imagine that it could release the power of destroying the sky and destroying the earth with a single wave: "And my mysterious The gong will make my profound energy extremely compressed again at the moment of release, reducing the scope of destruction, but increasing its formidable power."

After speaking, Jasmine's little hand grabbed in the air, and two iron blocks of the same size appeared in her hand. As her gesture changed, one of the two iron blocks turned into a square shape, and the other turned into a needle shape. At the same time throw to the front of the clock tower.

boom! !

Chi! !

The square-shaped iron piece cracked the stone wall of the bell tower, and then fell down, while the needle-shaped iron piece pierced the stone wall directly, and then nailed it to the other side of the stone wall.

"The composition and weight of the two iron blocks are the same, and the power I threw is the same, but the former just hits the stone wall, which is equivalent to injuring the target, while the latter doesn't cause that much damage, even the momentum is not enough. There are a lot of small ones, but they are directly killed!" Jasmine put away her hands tenderly: "So, do you understand?"

This is the power of my Star God, and it is destined that I will be... bloody.

"So it is!" Yun Che's face was full of surprise: "In this way, the same profound energy can be released, but it can create even greater formidable power, and under many circumstances, it can greatly reduce the consumption of profound energy. There is such a powerful and miraculous profound art! Jasmine, you said before that you would teach me your 'Star God's Art', is this the kind of profound art you are referring to?"

Jasmine had indeed said that when she mentioned it, Yun Che was not too moved, but at this time, his face was full of anticipation and excitement. But Jasmine's answer was to slowly shake her head: "A few years ago, I did think so. But during this time, I have changed my mind."

"Why?" Yun Che raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that with my current cultivation, there is no way to cultivate such a high level of profound arts?"

"That's not the case." Yun Che could even comprehend extremely high-level profound arts such as "The Great Dao Buddha Art" and "The Heavenly Wolf Prison Tome". Jasmine certainly wouldn't think that he could not understand the Star God Art, she said slowly. : "My strength is focused on 'Instant Destruction', and even my Star God Shattered Shadow is to cooperate with 'Instant Destruction'. And your fighting style has always been fierce and indomitable. Compared with me, It can be said to be two completely opposite extremes, especially since you use the heavy sword as a weapon. Therefore, if I forcefully teach you to practice my Star God Art, not only will it not benefit you, but it will most likely distort your growth. "

"Don't forget, the original intention of your pursuit of profound strength is to 'protect', not to kill!" Jasmine looked into his eyes, and said firmly, the depths of her eyes were filled with a faint color that Yun Che couldn't understand.

"..." The eagerness in Yun Che's eyes gradually disappeared, and he nodded lightly: "Well, I see."

"Go ahead, don't call me if it's not a big deal." Jasmine turned her back, then closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Yun Che always felt that something was wrong with Jasmine today.

Normally, although Jasmine always tried her best to put on a cold-hearted, aloof feeling, but in reality it didn't cause any pressure on Yun Che, let alone deterrence, because he knew Jasmine's temperament too well.

But today's Jasmine gave him an inexplicable feeling... that seemed to be "heavy". This feeling was not clear, nor could it be said, Jasmine's words and deeds were no different from usual... but he just had this feeling inexplicably.
