"Have you thought about how you want to die?" Qingyu asked expressionlessly, his hands clenching into fists beneath his sleeves. He hated Su Chen, how could he not? Originally, his plan was to make Hong Yun his woman, at which point he would become the second master of the Great Void Universe.
The main reason was that he wanted to use Hong Yun to help him break through to the Divine Lord. If he could break through to the Divine Lord, he would no longer need to rely on women. However, this does not mean that he only used Hong Yun as a tool. After so many years together, he had already fallen in love with Hong Yun. He just wanted to take it slow. But who would have thought that Su Chen's appearance would shatter all his illusions.
Su Chen stole his woman!
They stole his only chance to break through to the Divine Lord level!
How could he not go mad?
How could I not hate it?
However... there is still room for redemption. As long as he kills Su Chen silently and erases the traces of his actions afterward, he will still have a chance to win back Hong Yun's heart.
"Is it because I stole the person you secretly love that you're so eager to kill me?"
"Court death!"
Su Chen's words were tantamount to killing someone's spirit. Qingyu's face immediately twisted in anger, drawing upon billions of starlight around him, condensing it into a golden pillar of light that traversed the galaxy, and smashing straight towards Su Chen.
Su Chen's expression turned unusually grave. This was mainly because it wasn't his true form, but an avatar, whose strength was only barely at the True God Realm. Qingyu, on the other hand, was a genuine True God Realm expert. Although he was some distance from becoming Divine Lord, killing this avatar of his was more than enough for him.
However, Su Chen remained calm and composed. He glanced at a spot and said helplessly, "Your men are trying to kill me, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Qingyu's pupils contracted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He wanted to back down, but it was too late. A chilling voice, seemingly capable of freezing the universe, slowly rang out, " Qingyu, you have truly disappointed me."
As light flowed through the universe, a Sword Qi, carrying unparalleled force, crushed towards Qingyu. The golden pillar of light was destroyed, and Qingyu was sent flying. A streak of blood flashed through the darkness as his entire right arm was severed.
Qingyu, unable to recover from his injuries, stared in horror into the distance. There, Sword Intent surged like a sea, divine light flashed, Hong Yun emerged from the radiance. She came to Su Chen's side and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"If you watch any longer, something really might happen to me," Su Chen said with a smile.
Hong Yun rolled her eyes, ignoring Su Chen, and looked at Qingyu in the distance. "Do you have anything else to say? I'll give you that chance."
Qingyu seemed to know his fate. He composed himself and appeared calm. He looked at Hong Yun and asked the question he had never dared to ask before, "You really had no feelings for me at all?"
"No." Hong Yun answered the question without the slightest hesitation.
"Haha... hahaha." Just two words, yet they felt like a dull knife cutting Qingyu's neck. His head wouldn't fall off, but the pain was excruciating. He laughed, a maniacal laugh, but there was no joy in his laughter, only a bone-chilling desolation.
"I understand." Qingyu knew he couldn't escape, so he didn't choose to run away. He glanced at Hong Yun one last time, then said to Su Chen, "You win."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered all his cultivation and pointed directly at the top of his head. After a soft sound, his physical body died, his soul dissipated into the world, and he died on the spot!
"Sigh." Looking at the disappearing Qingyu, Hong Yun couldn't help but sigh. Although she had no feelings for Qingyu, he had followed her for so many years, and she still felt somewhat complicated.
"I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position," Su Chen said gently, pulling her into his arms.
"You gave him a chance; he only has himself to blame." Hong Yun shook her head and lay quietly.
Deep within the void, the dark turbulent currents that had previously been sealed by Hong Yun suddenly broke free of the seal. Strange sounds faintly echoed from within. After a while, a pair of hands, as withered as wood, suddenly reached out from within, followed by a monstrous creature that emerged from the dark turbulent currents.
This monster had limbs like palms, five fingers spread apart, a horn between its eyebrows, and eyes as black as night. Its body was about a hundred feet long, and it exuded a chilling and unsettling evil aura.
"After many years, I have finally stepped into this universe again. This time, without the Lord of the God Realm, let's see how you resist my Catastrophe Clan!" the monster said hoarsely, glancing back at the entrance to the turbulent flow. "How are the battles in the other three universes?"
"Reporting to Lord Hailing, the two Divine Lord of the Undying Universe and the Eternal Universe have been killed by the other lords. Now those two universes are our territory. However... the Divine Lord of the Incantation Arts Universe is exceptionally powerful, and it is speculated that there may be two Divine Lord in the Incantation Arts Universe!" A voice came from the chaotic darkness.
"Two Divine Lord?" The Hailing's tone became unusually serious. "Can we take down that Calamity Chief?"
" Liyuan and Lord Mingyou have already gone to help," the voice replied.
"Well, since that's the case, let's not dawdle any longer. Send down the order to attack Great Void." As soon as the words fell, countless cheers and jubilation erupted from the dark turbulent currents, and one after another, Catastrophe flew out from within, surging outwards the instant they emerged.
Hong Yun seemed to sense something, her expression suddenly changing, "Not good!"
Su Chen remained silent, his gaze fixed on the distance, his heart growing heavy. The two exchanged a glance, both understanding what the other wanted to do, nodded, and flew off in different directions. In a short while, they had both left the Myriad Phenomena Star Domain, showing how urgent their situation was.
Billions of Catastrophe roam the universe like locusts, bringing disaster to any planet they visit. They not only slaughter the planet's inhabitants but also steal the Heart of the Earthfall, turning those planets that lose it into dead Heart of the Earthfall.
The Hailing flew at the forefront, toying with the Heart of the Earthfall it had just seized. Its gaze swept around as if searching for its next target. Suddenly, it stopped in its tracks, looked up into the distance, and its eyes narrowed.
Clang!
A Sword Qi, ten thousand feet in size, containing the ultimate understanding of the Sword Dao, slashed towards the Catastrophe behind the Hailing.
The Hailing snorted coldly, its single horn piercing through the void, creating distorted spatial ripples that collided with the Sword Qi. Thousands of dead stars around it exploded, and the aftershocks alone killed thousands of Catastrophe. The remaining Catastrophe were so frightened that they hurriedly fled to a distance, away from the battle between the two Divine Lord.
The ending of this book may leave many regrets, for which I am very sorry. The reason I did not start a new book immediately, but instead wrote the ending of this book, is actually to give everyone an explanation, and also to give myself an explanation.
The new book will be released in April, and I sincerely invite everyone to come and read it. I believe it has a relatively novel subject matter, and the framework of this book is extremely grand. It is no longer the cliché plot of fighting monsters, leveling up, and changing maps, but a work that can draw readers in and move them to tears for the supporting characters.
Love you all, muah!
