Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The world before me went dark, and I couldn't see anything, but the feeling of horror and dread was frantically devouring my mind.

Just then, Jun Wuxie felt a soft, warm hand grasp his own.

In an instant, all negative emotions vanished, and golden firelight dispelled the darkness.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Zhuque pulled him towards the scarlet Asura barrier.

"I'm fine now, but I wasn't a moment ago."

Jun Wuxie was an honest person, expressing his state very truthfully.

Zhuque smiled without a word, her body overflowing with golden light, making him feel especially warm, as if bathed in sunlight.

They quickly arrived before the scarlet Asura barrier.

The Asura order runes here were constantly flashing, and within, on the shattered face of the dark and sinister being, an evil blood-red eye stared intently at him and Zhuque.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie, with his hand held by Zhuque's soft, warm jade hand, didn't feel any discomfort in the face of the dark and sinister being's terrifying gaze.

But he felt very strange in his heart.

The Asura barrier trapped the dark and sinister being, indicating that the Asura barrier was of an extremely high level.

He could feel the Asura formation's order runes exuding a slaughtering and world-destroying aura, along with an indescribable bloody and baleful energy.

However, he actually felt very comfortable with this terrifying aura, and even had a sense of familiarity.

"Are you here to kill me?"

The dark and sinister being spoke in a cold, gloomy voice. Although tainted with the dark curse, its sanity was not lost, appearing very clear-headed, which was something Jun Wuxie had never encountered before.

Zhuque looked at it without speaking, her gaze very calm.

"Heh heh, you don't dare?" The dark and sinister being brazenly provoked, "Come on, kill me! Do you know how many living beings I killed in your Bright Universe back then? That universe after universe, those crying creatures, I still remember their fearful and desperate looks, still remember those children crawling towards their parents' fragmented bodies, weeping in sorrow!"

*Slap!*

Zhuque didn't speak, but slapped it across the face.

Her palm waved in the void before her, and a golden flame palm condensed within the barrier, slamming heavily into the dark and sinister being's face, sending it flying sideways, its teeth falling out.

"You dare hit my face!" The dark and sinister being appeared to be going mad, its dark energy raging, covering the entire barrier, impacting the Asura barrier violently, causing its own body to be lacerated and bloodied by the slaughter released by the Asura order runes, roaring, "Come kill me! Aren't you the Heavenly Emperor? Come on, show me what you've got! So what if you're the Heavenly Emperor, you still don't dare to kill me! This is the strongest of your Bright Universe, timid and hesitant, unable to accomplish great things. You're being provoked by a mere Immortal Emperor, aren't you angry?"

"What are you howling about? Are you an Immortal Emperor? Why do you look no different from a raging beast trapped in a cage?" Jun Wuxie knew that Zhuque must have a reason for not killing the dark and sinister being, and that guy probably knew it too, which was why he dared to provoke her like this.

"An ant beneath the Saint Realm dares to speak to this Immortal Emperor in such a way. Who gave you the courage?"

The dark and sinister being stared at Jun Wuxie with a cold gaze, its pupils revealing terrifying dark scenes that constantly appeared and disappeared.

Unfortunately, Zhuque was protecting Jun Wuxie, so he felt nothing from that gaze, and even wanted to laugh a little.

"What courage does it take to educate you?" Jun Wuxie mocked, "You say I'm an ant, but how much stronger are you than an ant in front of Aunt You? You think you're very strong? Come out and hit me, I really want to be hit, come on."

As he spoke, he beckoned to the dark and sinister being, his mocking expression enraging the dark and sinister being to roar repeatedly, its black hair exploding, its dark energy raging to the extreme.

"Look at you, what kind of damn Immortal Emperor are you? Facing me, a peerless genius beneath the Saint Realm, apart from raging impotently, you're just standing there like a crowing rooster, stretching your neck and going 'ooh ooh ooh', what else can you do?"

"Ant!" The dark and sinister being calmed down, as if it had never been furious just now, its emotional reversal speed was astonishing, "This Immortal Emperor miscalculated!"

"I knew you wanted to scheme against me!"

Jun Wuxie sneered. When the aura of the dark curse suddenly disappeared earlier, he had sensed something was wrong.

Now it seemed that it was indeed so. This guy wanted to lure him over.

"You're an Immortal Emperor, scheming against me, someone beneath the Saint Realm, aren't you ashamed? I really want to know, what do I have that's worth scheming against?"

His heart was filled with doubt. What kind of existence was a dignified Immortal Emperor? How could it be interested in someone like him who was beneath the Saint Realm?

The dark and sinister being didn't answer his question, only saying in a cold, gloomy voice, "I thought I would be able to escape soon, but I didn't expect to attract a supreme expert of the Heavenly Emperor Realm. It seems I won't be able to get out in a short time."

"In a short time? You'll never get out."

Zhuque spoke calmly.

"Hahaha!" The dark and sinister being laughed wildly, saying, "What era is this? Calculating the years I've endured, that day shouldn't be too far away. My Dark Universe progenitors should be waking up soon as well. When that time comes, your Bright Universe will be forever shrouded in darkness, with no more light!"

"In this life, who will emerge victorious is still unknown. Light will eventually dispel darkness."

"Are you indulging in wishful thinking?" The dark and sinister being mocked, "You're from that era, so you should know how easily your Bright Universe was defeated back then. And at that time, many of our progenitors were still asleep, and had not yet taken action. In this life, if all the progenitors awaken, what will you use to fight us?"

"What are you bragging about? Are your progenitors very strong? Look at you, an Immortal Emperor, unable to do anything to me, who is beneath the Saint Realm. It can be seen that your Dark Universe is full of trash!"

Jun Wuxie retorted. Of course, he didn't think that way in his heart, he just wanted to argue, how could he watch this guy show off so much in front of Aunt You!

The dark and sinister being had a cold smile on its lips, ignoring him.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes behind him.

He was shocked in his heart, and turned his head to look, but saw nothing.

He thought that his perception had been mistaken, after all, the environment here was very special, and his perception was not as sharp as outside, far from it.

As a result, just as he turned his head back, he felt a hand tug at the corner of his clothes again.

He turned around abruptly, still seeing nothing, but discovered that there were two small handprints on the corner of his clothes.

He couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end!

You must know that he was with Zhuque now, and his hand was still being held by Zhuque.

Yet an unknown thing had approached, tugging at the corner of his clothes like this!

"Aunt You, did you see anything?"

Jun Wuxie lifted the corner of his clothes for her to see, showing her the small handprints.

At this time, the dark and sinister being in the Asura barrier became incomparably violent, roaring inside, using its body to frantically impact the barrier, causing the barrier to shake violently, its body lacerated and covered in wounds by the slaughter released by the Asura order runes.

"What kind of stimulation did this guy receive?"

Jun Wuxie was startled by the dark and sinister being's behavior. He hadn't provoked or stimulated it with words this time.

"Emperor Chan! I will eventually extinguish your true soul to avenge your hatred for killing me back then!"

The dark and sinister being roared, reaching the extreme of violence, as if it had seen an irreconcilable enemy!

Jun Wuxie was stunned. Who was the Emperor Chan mentioned in the dark and sinister being's roar?

"Ah-ya! It's been so many years, how come your aura is still so evil!"

A tender voice suddenly sounded behind Jun Wuxie.

He couldn't help but be astonished, this voice… was too familiar, incomparably familiar!

He suddenly turned around, and saw a little bit of light lighting up in the distance, and a delicate, pink-skinned little girl appeared out of thin air before his eyes.

She was exquisitely carved like jade, only five or six years old, wearing a sky-blue little dress, very beautiful, like an elven from the immortal realm, her big eyes fluttering, holding a rag doll in her arms.

He stared blankly, looking at the little girl in front of him, his body trembling slightly.

The little girl's body was not a physical entity, somewhat faint, and the rag doll in her arms was also like that.

Obviously, this was formed by a weak soul light.

"Who are you? Why do I feel like I know you?" The little girl also sized him up, her beautiful eyes blinked, tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "It's such a strange feeling ～"

"Chan'er, is that you?"

Jun Wuxie's voice was a little trembling, reaching out to pull her.

The little girl seemed to be frightened, suddenly shrinking back, and said timidly, "Big brother, don't hurt me, I'm very good…"

"Big brother won't hurt you, I'll only love you, protect you."

Jun Wuxie's heart was very sad. He was almost certain that the little girl in front of him was Chan'er, or more precisely, a wisp of Chan'er's true soul.

Thinking of the dark and sinister being's reaction and the Emperor Chan mentioned in the roar, as well as the Asura formation here, the whole thing became clear.

Back then, it should have been Chan'er who killed all these Dark Universe experts, killing the dark and sinister being in the barrier, but because it carried the dark curse, it was resurrected.

Chan'er should have been seriously injured back then, her soul even incomplete, otherwise she would definitely have killed this Immortal Emperor who had turned into a dark and sinister being.

But she didn't, indicating that she was already very weak at the time, and could only set up the Asura formation before it was completely resurrected, trapping it inside.

"The fact that a wisp of her missing true soul has not dissipated can be considered fortunate. The aura of the Asura order formation she left behind helped her to reunite a wisp of scattered true soul light. Presumably, childhood was her happiest time, so in the state of incomplete true soul, she would become the appearance of her childhood."

Zhuque said this, she had already discerned everything here, but had not pointed it out.

Because this was Jun Wuxie's own connection with Emperor Chan, she shouldn't interfere, interfering would disrupt the cause and effect between them.

"Big brother, will you really not hurt me?"

Chan'er's soul light was still a little timid, not daring to get close to him.

“Of course.” Jun Wuxie's eyes were full of affection. He stretched out his finger, a drop of life essence blood emerging from the fingertip, and said, “Chan'er, come and see what this is?”

“Ah, Big Brother, how do you know my name?”

Chan'er's face was full of surprise as she looked at the golden blood on his finger. Her bright eyes showed a hint of curiosity, and she murmured, “This aura… why does it feel so familiar?”

As she spoke, she carefully walked over, hugging her doll. Perhaps sensing that Jun Wuxie really had no malicious intent, she finally came to stand before him.

“Big Brother, your blood…”

Chan'er grabbed his finger, her eyes fixed on the golden blood.

It felt so familiar, and even her soul light began to throb.

A feeling arose in her heart that this Big Brother in front of her was her family, someone who would be good to her and would not hurt her.

“So, Big Brother didn't lie to you, right?”

“Mm, Big Brother is a good person~”

Chan'er looked up at him with her delicate little face, her big eyes smiling like crescent moons.

“Then how about Big Brother takes Chan'er away from here?”

“Okay, okay!” Chan'er jumped up happily, pouting her little mouth and saying, “It's not fun here. No one talks to Chan'er. Chan'er has been here all alone for so, so long~”

Jun Wuxie's nose stung when he heard this.

It has been a long time, so many epochs… How did Chan'er's wisp of true soul survive through that incredibly long period of time?

Every day, she faced only solitude…

“Then how about Chan'er comes into Big Brother's body first?”

“Mm!”

She nodded her little head like a chick pecking at rice.

Jun Wuxie immediately opened the Eternal Life Divine Palace and put her inside.

He didn't dare open his own Cave Heaven. Although Chan'er was in this state now, she was, after all, a wisp of true soul of an Emperor Realm expert. He estimated that his Cave Heaven definitely couldn't withstand it and would cause big problems.

“Aunt You, what should we do with this guy?”

Jun Wuxie pointed at the Dark Evil trapped in the Shura Formation barrier.

“Strengthen the seal and trap him here.”

Zhuque flicked her finger, and golden flame talismans were imprinted on the barrier. Soon, the entire barrier was covered in talismans, golden flames blazing, causing the Dark Evil inside to emit a painful sound.

“Damn it, you will all eventually fall into darkness. That day is not too far away!”

The Dark Evil roared inside.

“It's just a pity that you will never see that day!”

Jun Wuxie sneered. Zhuque ignored him, grabbed him, and turned to leave.

“Aunt You, would killing that guy cause a lot of trouble?”

After walking a long distance, he couldn't help but ask.

“Immortal Emperors are extremely revered figures in the Dark Universe. If you kill him, the progenitors of the Dark Universe will definitely sense it and know that the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Immortal period is still alive in this era. Darkness may descend ahead of schedule.”

“So that's why that guy was so arrogant.”

Zhuque gave him a strange look: “Could he be more arrogant than you, Young Master? Provoking an Immortal Emperor below the Saint Realm, you are the number one person in all of history.”

Jun Wuxie chuckled twice and said, “Aren't I just using the tiger's skin as a banner? With Aunt You by my side, what Immortal Emperor? They're all just chickens and dogs, haha!”

“You retrieved a missing wisp of true soul for Chan'er, which is of extraordinary significance to her. Her soul must be complete so that she can continue to break through in the future. Chan'er's life has been very difficult. She encountered the greatest dark turmoil in history when she first entered the Emperor Realm, and has been fighting ever since.”

“She is extremely talented. In the most desperate moment, without abandoning her previous Dao fruit, she embarked on a second path, establishing the Dao through killing. In a very short period of time, she created the Shura Dao, became the Shura Dao Ancestor, and attained the double Dao fruit of the Great Emperor! Her talent is only slightly weaker than the Princess's!”

“Chan'er's talent is that terrifying?”

Jun Wuxie was shocked. He knew that Chan'er was highly talented. After all, which existence at the Great Emperor Realm wasn't a rare gem among the most amazingly talented?

But he didn't expect Zhuque to rate her so highly!

“She was the second person in all the heavens and realms of the Ancient Immortal period to step into the Emperor Realm in the shortest amount of time; the second person to obtain the double Dao fruit in the shortest amount of time; and also the second strongest person in the same realm.”

“Who is the first?”

“Naturally, it is the Princess.”

“Alright.”

Jun Wuxie touched his nose and smiled smugly.

Ye Qingxue and Chan'er, the two most amazingly talented female emperors of the Ancient Immortal period, one used to be his little follower, and one is now his little follower.

He suddenly felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life, haha!
