Finally, I've Waited for You-Glad I Never Gave Up!

He strode forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Liu Qing, his gaze sharp as he stared directly at the Evil God's offspring who were about to approach again.

Upon seeing this, the Evil God's children all stopped in their tracks, exchanging bewildered glances, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

How can there be two Ye Jing?

However, they quickly realized what was happening.

They were fooled; the Ye Jing they were chasing was an imposter.

The one wielding the Xuanyuan Sword now is the real one.

"It was you... it was you who defeated the Lord Father?!" The leader of the Evil God's offspring could no longer contain his shock and asked in a trembling voice.

His voice would sound particularly jarring in the empty sky.

Ye Jing smiled slightly, but his smile was full of indifference. "I'm too lazy to talk, you're not worthy to listen! That's enough, all of you, just die!"

Ye Jing's words were like icy blades, instantly freezing the air. There was no hesitation in his eyes, only determination and coldness. The Xuanyuan Sword seemed to come alive in his hands, its blade humming, golden Sword Qi swirling around it, each strand containing terrifying power capable of tearing through the void.

"Let's all attack together!"

Ye Jing's voice was deep and powerful. With a swift movement, he moved like a ghost among the Evil God's children. The Xuanyuan Sword transformed into streaks of golden lightning, and each slash was accompanied by the screams and falls of the Evil God's children.

"No! This is impossible!" roared a burly Evil God's son, wielding a giant hammer. He swung the hammer with all his might, trying to block Ye Jing's attack, but the Xuanyuan Sword flicked it lightly, and the giant hammer flew away like a kite with a broken string. Then, a dazzling sword light flashed, and his body was split in two. Blood and black energy mingled, staining the surrounding land red.

The other children of the Evil God were all terrified upon seeing this; they had never encountered such a powerful opponent.

Even their father—that supreme and powerful Evil God.

Even when faced with Ye Jing, they seemed so powerless.

"Run! Run!" shouted one of the more astute children of the Evil God. He knew that continuing to fight would only lead to death, so he turned and fled. The other children of the Evil God followed suit, scattering in all directions in an attempt to escape this land of death.

However, would Ye Jing let them off so easily?

He flashed forward, instantly appearing in front of a fleeing Evil God's child. Without a second thought, the Xuanyuan Sword pierced the man's chest, pinning him to the ground. "Trying to escape? Did you ask my sword first?" Ye Jing's voice was icy, devoid of any emotion.

As one Evil God's offspring after another fell, the air was thick with the stench of blood and despair.

In the end, only a few severely wounded children of the Evil God remained. They staggered backward, their eyes filled with a longing for life and a fear of death.

"Ye... Ye Jing, you will die a horrible death! My Father God will avenge us!" A son of Evil God Curse through gritted teeth, using the last of his strength.

Ye Jing sneered, his eyes blazing. "Your Father God? If he dares to come, I will make sure he never leaves!" With that, he swung the Xuanyuan Sword, and a golden Sword Qi soared into the sky like a dragon, slaying the heavily injured Evil God's children one by one, leaving them no chance of survival.

The battle ended, and all around was deathly silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the occasional eerie roars of beasts in the distance, all expressing fear of Ye Jing.

Ye Jing stood still, his gaze deep as he looked into the distance, his heart filled with both the joy of victory and the anxiety about the future.

Because it's very strange.

These Evil Gods have lost too much power.

Even if he has become stronger, these Evil Gods shouldn't be this weak.

He remembered that during the battle when the Evil Gods attacked Town Heaven Pass, the strength of these Evil Gods' children was not much worse than his own.

But why can't he even withstand a single blow from himself now?

This is not normal.

I suspect something's fishy going on here.

"Nailed it?"

Liu Qing returned to his original appearance and asked.

"Okay, that's about right. Thank you for your hard work. Now let's get down to business!" Ye Jing nodded gently.

He still has very important things to do.

The Evil God has left.

But this world still contains many evil creatures, as well as humans who have been captured and imprisoned.

It needs to be cleared out and liberated!

The former can be easily dealt with by the arriving army of the Profound Yellow Great World.

What they need now is to liberate the people here.

Regarding this...

It's actually very troublesome.

Because these people have had their inner evil thoughts unleashed by the Evil God.

And their hands were more or less covered in blood.

The Evil God gains power by absorbing the evil thoughts in people's hearts.

Simply releasing them from their cages won't solve the problem.

They need to rediscover their humanity and connection to the world.

This is where the Starlight Crystal comes in!

Ye Jing narrowed his eyes.

Above the Heavenly Court, amidst swirling clouds and golden splendor, the faces of the gods seemed shrouded in gloom.

When the news of Ye Jing defeating the Evil God arrived, it was like a thunderclap, causing the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall to tremble, and an atmosphere of disbelief and shock filled the air.

The secret letter in the Jade Emperor's hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He slowly unfolded it, and every word struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

As the reading progressed, the Jade Emperor's gaze gradually shifted from doubt to shock, finally settling on a complex emotion—a mixture of awe and unease at Ye Jing's power.

"Ye Jing... how could you become so strong in such a short time?" The Jade Emperor's voice was filled with gritted teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, brimming with disbelief.

His gaze swept over the gods; not long ago, he could only contend with them on equal footing.

The gods were also in an uproar.

They stared wide-eyed or gaped, as if they had forgotten to breathe.

Some of the immortals even unconsciously took a few steps back, as if they were overwhelmed by the power contained in the name Ye Jing.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian gripped his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd tightly, his brow furrowed. Ye Jing was getting stronger and stronger!

He remained stagnant, making no progress whatsoever, merely surviving by absorbing the "source," becoming neither human nor god, neither evil nor wicked!

"Ye Jing will likely attack the Heavenly Court soon. What should we do? Do my Dear Subject have any way to resist him?" The Jade Emperor's voice rang out.

The gods fell silent.

In their pursuit of immortality, they did not hesitate to kill innocent people and raised mortals like livestock, thus placing themselves on the opposite side of humanity.

Ye Jing will definitely not let them go for the sake of humanity.

However, even the Evil Gods are no match for him now, so they will definitely have a hard time defeating Ye Jing!

What should I do?

The atmosphere in Heavenly Court was extremely heavy, with every breath seemingly carrying endless worry and unease.

The Jade Emperor's gaze swept across the gods, searching for even the slightest spark of hope.

However, he was met only with silence and unspeakable fear in their hearts.

The Jade Emperor's heart sank.

It seems that ever since they began pursuing immortality, the gods have started to change.

They're all cowards!
