75: You've ruined my dining experience!

Nether Blade frantically said, "You lunatic, I admit you are very strong, but there's no need for such arrogant words. How could the Heavenly Dao deal with a small fry like me? Did I provoke you in some way?"

Lu Chen calmly replied, "You didn't provoke me, but you ruined my dining experience!"

Nether Blade: ???

Lu Chen: Alright, the Q&A is over. I'm sending you on your final journey.

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen activated the power of the Heavenly Dao, like an eraser, wiping away all memory imprints of Nether Sword and Nether Blade.

Nether Blade, terrified as his memories disappeared bit by bit, finally realized, "It seems you weren't lying; you really are the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, how could anyone explain such a great Divine Ability, capable of directly erasing memories!"

Nether Blade was relieved. To be killed by the Heavenly Dao, he had no regrets!

The bloody battles, the glory of eternal night, and the brotherhood of Nether Sword and Nether Blade all turned into scattered dust.

Ten months later, the cry of childbirth broke the dawn.

"Empress! She's given birth! It's twins!"

The midwife tremblingly presented the extraordinary twins—a special purple glow flickered deep within their pupils.

During the grand ritual of 'grasping a treasure,' the first-born male infant tightly clutched a small jade-carved knife, while the later-born one grasped a decorative short sword.

White Ember was overjoyed and immediately bestowed the names "White Blade" and "White Sword."

This usually cold monarch displayed unprecedented tenderness, even using years of accumulated Corruption energy to personally forge Lifebound Weapons for the twins.

Lu Chen looked at this outcome with great satisfaction.

Sure enough, he had not received any System rewards or punishments.

Lu Chen had killed Nether Blade and then helped him Rebirth, which was equivalent to not killing him, so there was no punishment.

It was like playing a game; this was a loophole.

I am truly a Genius!

In this way, Lu Chen would no longer have to fear rewards or punishments in the future; he just needed to kill someone and then help him reincarnate.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

Of course, Lu Chen was not someone who liked to interfere with Small Worlds; just like observing ants, he enjoyed the process of watching them, not stepping on them.

Lu Chen put away the Dragon Clan Youth he had created, not erasing him, but saving him as a character template. If he needed to interfere again in the future, he wouldn't have to create a new character; he could directly have the Dragon Clan Youth appear.

At the same time, Light Fortress, Saintess Dawn Moon's personal guard, knelt outside the gauze curtain, murmuring unwillingly, "You clearly hate him to the core, so why did you still bear his children!"

Dawn Moon gently stroked the sleeping faces of the twins: "I will train these two children into the strongest warriors, then turn them into my weapons to kill White Ember. Don't you think that would make White Ember suffer even more?"

...Fourteen years passed in a flash. The once-toddling brothers, White Blade and White Sword, had now grown into the most dazzling twin stars of the Dark Radiance Empire.

The two young generals wore profound iron armor. White Blade's weapon was named "Soul Slayer," and White Sword's weapon was named "Soul Severer."

They not only possessed the powerful Nascent Soul of Nether Sword and Nether Blade from their previous lives but also inherited a portion of their father White Ember's Chosen One's Luck. At only fourteen years old, they had already reached the Deity Transformation Realm, becoming the Empire's strongest warriors.

They grew up under Dawn Moon's affection, even doting love.

When White Ember was absent, Dawn Moon would brainwash them, claiming she had been raped by White Ember, how much she had suffered, and how she had been forced. Years of brainwashing made these two sons completely side with Dawn Moon.

In contrast, White Ember, even though he used all his resources and energy to help his two sons grow, only earned their hatred.

Finally, after ten years of intense preparation, the Sunday Empire and the Dark Radiance Empire faced their grand decisive battle!

Blood-red battle flags fluttered, and the Sunday Empire's Sun Legion, like a golden torrent breaking a dam, surged with overwhelming force towards the Dark Radiance Empire's black defensive line.

Emperor Scorching Sun stood proudly on his gilded war chariot. This grand decisive battle, meticulously prepared for years, he was determined to win.

Kill!

The first wave of golden knights easily broke through the Corrupted Legion's defensive formations like slicing through melons and vegetables.

However, the next second, all the Sun Legion warriors were stunned.

Those Corrupted ones pierced through the chest with spears continued to advance, and headless bodies would grope for their heads to reattach.

Severed limbs wriggled on the ground like maggots searching for their owners, and Corrupted ones cut in half crawled with their hands to continue attacking.

The Sun Legion's formation began to crumble, and the knights' proud combat skills seemed so ridiculous in front of these undead monsters.

It wasn't until a dying knight, in despair, thrust his weapon into an enemy's back and discovered a purplish-black crystal that shattered with a clang, that a turning point finally appeared in this nightmare.

"Crystal core! Attack the crystal cores on their backs!"

But it was too late. The Corrupted Legion tore through three defensive lines, pressing directly towards Scorching Sun's central command tent.

Scorching Sun personally took action. The Holy Light condensed in his left hand was like the rising sun, and the Karmic Fire he controlled with his right hand seemed like purgatory descending. These two forces, which should have been mutually exclusive, formed a perfect balance under his Tribulation Crossing Realm Great Perfection cultivation.

The Corrupted Legion's warriors, along with their crystal cores, were instantly crushed into dust.

In the face of absolute power, all flashy tricks were useless.

"Follow me! Counterattack!"

Scorching Sun led the Sun Legion in sounding the horn of counterattack.

White Ember personally stepped onto the battlefield, raising his pale, slender fingers.

In an instant, the entire battlefield space was torn apart, and countless dark fissures spewed out viscous, ink-like Corruption energy, which coiled around the Sun Legion warriors like living creatures.

The golden knights in the front row let out shrill screams. Their armor rapidly corroded and peeled away in the Corruption energy, and bizarre purplish-black patterns appeared on their exposed skin.

Even more terrifying, the eyes of these Corrupted warriors glowed red, and they turned their weapons, frantically hacking at their comrades beside them.

A Corrupted centurion even used his bare hands to tear open his deputy's chest, blood splattering on his grotesquely laughing face.

Even with prior psychological preparation, Emperor Scorching Sun couldn't help but gasp at this terrifying scene.

He watched with his own eyes as his most elite guard corps twisted and deformed in Corruption—some suddenly burst with bone spurs from their backs, some had their heads melt like wax figures, and others had their entire bodies collapse like mud.

If this continued, the Sunday Empire's million-strong army would likely all become White Ember's Corrupted Puppets.

To catch the bandits, first catch the king! A way must be found to kill White Ember!

Scorching Sun roared, crossing his twin blades to unleash a cross-shaped light flame.

The energy torrent, a Fusion of Holy Light and Karmic Fire, carved a hundred-meter-wide charred ravines through the Corrupted army, and countless Corrupted ones vanished into thin air under this Purification power.

He soared into the air, stepping on light flames, carving a bloody path through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood directly towards White Ember.

White Ember sneered at the sight, tearing open spatial folds with his hands again.

However, this time, those Corruption fissures, which were enough to drive ordinary Cultivators instantly mad, strangely calmed and dissipated upon touching three feet around Scorching Sun.

Scorching Sun's body was surrounded by a Protective Aura, a perfect Fusion of Holy Light and Karmic Fire. The balanced field formed by these two extreme forces actually rendered the always effective Corruption power useless for the first time.

"Interesting." White Ember finally dropped his playful expression, and a denser Corruption energy began to surge around him, gathering in his palm to form a long spear entwined with cries of agony.

Distorted human faces constantly appeared on the spear shaft; those were the Souls permanently imprisoned in Corruption.

Scorching Sun raised his Holy Light and Karmic Fire twin blades, pointing them at White Ember: "You are more terrifying than the Demon Race, neither human nor ghost! Today, I shall act on behalf of the Heavenly Dao! I will slay this evil being!"
