585: Final Battle - The Moment of Emperor Beheading (1)

Boom—

The Central Province seemed to experience a violent earthquake. With just one step from the Nine Curves Demon Emperor, countless low-level beings were annihilated.

The Nine Curves Demon Emperor was about to take a second step.

A mysterious female figure appeared on the horizon, dressed in peerless white, exuding unparalleled grace.

“Was it you who destroyed the Dark Magic Pillar I brought?”

A killing intent flashed in the Nine Curves Demon Emperor’s indifferent eyes.

But his gaze was fixed on the mysterious sword in the woman’s hand, a terrifying treasure that surpassed an supreme emperor weapon!

The woman’s eyes were exceptionally cold and indifferent, also filled with infinite killing intent.

“An ultimate treasure from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?”

“It’s mine!”

The Nine Curves Demon Emperor grabbed out with a colossal hand. His Realm was suppressed below that of a Great Emperor, but he was inherently an Emperor’s body!

The noble and beautiful mysterious white-clad woman gripped ‘Biluo Huangquan’ and fiercely slashed a sword towards the Nine Curves Demon Emperor.

Boom!

The woman was sent flying, but the might of ‘Biluo Huangquan’ also made the Nine Curves Demon Emperor feel a tingling sensation in the web of his hand.

The Nine Curves Demon Emperor’s eyes grew increasingly surprised and profound.

“It seems this item is quite extraordinary; perhaps even the master of darkness would be moved.” A rare hint of greed appeared in the Nine Curves Demon Emperor’s eyes.

He had originally thought it would be enough to destroy this Origin Star, never expecting such a pleasant surprise.

“A mere Demon Emperor is not qualified to take it!”

The woman coldly rebuked. After steadying herself, she instead charged forward proactively. The terrifying power of ‘Biluo Huangquan’ spread, almost matching the Nine Curves Demon Emperor’s Aura.

At this moment.

Chu Ying, who had been trampled into the deep pit, felt weak all over. His expression was somewhat dazed, and a familiar yet strange female face seemed to appear before his eyes.

He gave a bitter smile and murmured softly, “Is it her…”

Inside the Unique True Self Limitless Cave Heaven, Meng Qing, Xi Yao, Feng Ming Hua Yuan, Feng Yuan, and all the other confidantes had fallen into a coma.

When Chu Ying resisted the crushing force of the Nine Curves Demon Emperor’s stomp, he himself nearly fainted, let alone them.

Outside.

The white-clad woman was still fiercely battling the Nine Curves Demon Emperor, but it was clear that even with ‘Biluo Huangquan’ in hand, she was still at a disadvantage.

Because ‘Biluo Huangquan’ itself should not be wielded by her.

“A good human, but unfortunately still too weak.”

The Nine Curves Demon Emperor’s gaze was calm. He swung a heaven-shattering palm, heavily swatting the stunning and graceful white-clad woman away, sending her crashing like a broken kite towards the deep pit where Chu Ying was.

“Pfft—”

A spray of crimson blood splattered, landing on her immaculate white robes, a shocking sight.

The light in the woman’s eyes was somewhat dazed, and she gave a sorrowful smile.

“If you truly wish to see me die, then… as you wish.”

A faint loneliness filled the woman’s heart.

So much time had passed. She had originally thought that by returning this time to help him turn the tide, she could earn his forgiveness.

Even now, after severing so many Dark Magic Pillars and bringing back ‘Biluo Huangquan’.

She still couldn’t get him to change his mind.

At this moment, tracing a perfect arc in the air, the heavily injured falling woman felt a sense of despair.

From the deep pit created by the Nine Curves Demon Emperor’s stomp, a figure suddenly shot up into the sky!

At the critical moment.

Chu Ying’s disheveled figure appeared, catching the falling white-clad woman.

The woman’s delicate body trembled violently. Her moving, sorrowful eyes slowly lifted, meeting the gaze of that face which was once so close, a face she could touch whenever she wished.

“Chu Ying, forgive me… okay?”

Yao Ruoxi’s face was sorrowful and pale. She raised her slender hand, wanting to caress Chu Ying’s face, but her hand was so weak, it seemed even lifting it was extremely difficult.

Chu Ying pursed his lips and grasped her hand.

Yao Ruoxi’s eyes flickered, staring blankly at Chu Ying.

Chu Ying sighed softly, “How do you know I can’t forget you?”

“Perhaps if you left, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for you.”

Ever since arriving in Central Province, from the moment Ye Qingxian began trying to make him take responsibility for the lost Princess of the Ancient Yao Dynasty, who was his fiancée, Chu Ying had guessed that Yao Ruoxi had returned.

It was also from that moment that Chu Ying’s emotions became extraordinarily complex.

He desperately wanted to ask himself if he had truly forgotten the childhood sweetheart he had grown up with. Today, he had so many confidantes by his side.

There were Holy Daughters from majestic Holy Lands, direct descendants of Archaic Families, princesses of vast Imperial Dynasties, and even the beautiful Peak Lord of the former Supreme Mystery, and the young lady of the Immortal Mausoleum Forbidden Zone…

Since he had become so affectionate and free-spirited, it seemed he shouldn’t still cling to, or be unable to forget, his former childhood sweetheart.

He thought he was indeed like that.

Until he embarked on the journey to Central Province, he seemed to have already seen Yao Ruoxi’s shadow.

And even more so at this very moment.

“If I leave, I’ll never see you again.”

Yao Ruoxi’s red lips whispered, her jade arms tightly wrapped around Chu Ying’s neck.

“Can you love me again?” Her captivating eyes gazed at Chu Ying, holding endless tenderness and affection, as well as a humility that had fallen into the dust.

Chu Ying was silent.

Seeing his silence, Yao Ruoxi’s eyes dimmed, and her heart ached even more, feeling as if it were being torn apart.

She gave a bitter, tragic smile, realizing it was still her wishful thinking.

A broken mirror cannot be mended, and a lost person cannot be found again.

However, in her dazed distraction, Chu Ying sighed softly:

“I’ve always loved you.”

Yao Ruoxi’s eyes suddenly brightened, and her face seemed to become incomparably radiant.

As he spoke these words, tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of Chu Ying’s eyes.

His Dao Heart, which he had always believed to be invincible, finally shattered.

“Chu Ying!”

Yao Ruoxi cried out in alarm. Sensing Chu Ying’s Dao Heart shattering, her expression became flustered. She said in a panic, “W-what’s wrong? Did I break your Dao Heart?”

She struggled to break free from Chu Ying’s embrace and supported him as his Dao Heart shattered.

“Perhaps this Dao Heart isn’t quite suitable for me.”

Chu Ying smiled softly, his eyes gentle, gazing at her with extraordinary tenderness, and also with a sense of relief from finally resolving something that had lingered for so long.

Yao Ruoxi felt bitter sorrow, also shedding tears, shaking her head:

“But without an invincible Dao Heart, what about you now…”

At this moment.

The Nine Curves Demon Emperor was attempting to suppress the ‘Biluo Huangquan’ immortal sword. In his eyes, this ultimate treasure from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was countless times more valuable than the lives of Chu Ying and Yao Ruoxi.

“I don’t need that invincible Dao Heart.”

Chu Ying smiled, “I still prefer the Dao of [In the Name of Love].”

In an instant, his shattered Dao Heart began to re-condense and undergo Nirvana.

Mysterious Vermilion Bird Divine Fire suddenly ignited on his body.

The shattered invincible Dao Heart dispersed, and in its place, a Dao Heart that appeared unremarkable but, upon contact, revealed a hidden warmth of human affection, was born.

Yao Ruoxi looked at the reborn Chu Ying, and a smile also appeared on her sorrowful face.

Her eyes filled with guilt, she murmured softly, “I’m sorry, I once deeply hurt you. I almost personally destroyed our relationship…”

Chu Ying smiled warmly, “Since it was in the past, it has become history.”

“Yaoxi, can we fight side by side?”

As his words fell, his newly reborn Dao Heart completely solidified, and his Realm Aura began to soar from the Half-step Heavenly Venerate Level!

Breaking straight through to the Heavenly Venerate Level!
