222: Chapter 222 A Sudden Snowstorm Beside the Execution Platform

Su Daji stood alone atop the ruins and slowly straightened her back.

Although the spiritual energy in her body was nearly exhausted at the moment,

after her battle with the Immortal Emperor, her strength had soared to a level she could hardly imagine.

To the living beings of this realm,

she, Su Daji, possessed combat power at the level of Law.

She had become the sole, strongest existence in this world.

However,

there was not a trace of joy in her eyes from reaching the peak.

In her crimson fox eyes, only emptiness remained.

Her great vengeance was achieved, her powerful enemies were all destroyed, and the Heavenly Court had collapsed.

Looking at the dilapidated Immortal Realm before her, the sense of dead silence in her heart grew even stronger.

Because

she could no longer find the path she was meant to walk next.

Su Daji tilted her head slightly and rubbed her cheek against Su Chen's once more.

"Husband, look."

"Demon Concubine Su Daji did it."

"Everyone who bullied you and insulted you is dead."

"I even cut off that old dog Immortal Emperor's head."

"The Heavenly Court is gone."

"Are you happy?"

Su Chen, naturally, would not respond to her.

Carrying Su Chen on her back, she slowly turned around.

She no longer looked at the devastated Heavenly Court.

Step by step, she walked in a certain direction.

The Execution Platform.

That was the place where the Heavenly Court dealt with immortals and gods who had committed grave crimes, located at the edge of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Below it lay the endless chaotic currents of the void, where the astral winds were like knives and the laws were in disarray.

It was a dead land where even a Golden Immortal would have no chance of survival if they fell.

Since ancient times, immortals who committed heavy crimes would be sentenced here.

After kneeling for three days and three nights, they would be pushed off the Execution Platform by the executioner.

What awaited them was the total obliteration of their soul and immortal consciousness.

After falling off the cliff, all that awaited them was the washing away of their past life's memories, being banished to the mortal realm, and reincarnation.

Many immortals did not even get the chance to undergo tribulations; they were directly stripped of their immortal status for all eternity.

In her life as the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Su Daji had been pushed off by the Heavenly Realm's executioner for interfering too deeply in mortal affairs.

If Su Chen hadn't sacrificed himself to fully awaken her cultivation technique, she likely would never have had the chance to awaken the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline again.

Carrying Su Chen on her back, Su Daji walked to the edge of the Execution Platform.

Below was the endless, pitch-black void.

It was bottomless, swallowing all light and hope.

Occasionally, the astral winds howled.

It sounded like the wailing of hundreds of millions of vengeful souls.

She stood there quietly.

Her wedding dress danced wildly in the biting gale.

After the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline awakened, memories from that lifetime also began to flow through her mind.

In that life, as an "immortal" with noble immortal status, she naturally knew many things.

She knew.

She had slaughtered half of the Heavenly Court and murdered the Immortal Emperor; the weight of her karma was already earth-shattering.

The Immortal Emperor was right.

When immortals acted as the puppet masters influencing the fortune of the mortal world, usually nothing would go wrong.

But this world had its own laws of operation.

If mortals were slaughtered wantonly, immortals could intervene.

But what if immortals were slaughtered wantonly?

Then the ethereal "Heavenly Dao" would truly step in to balance and obliterate.

Even though her power was now heaven-reaching,

such monstrous killing karma

would surely trigger the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, bringing down the most cruel Heavenly Punishment.

That would be a destructive lightning tribulation containing the primal will of this realm, far beyond any ordinary immortal tribulation.

And after her series of bloody battles, while her consumption was massive, her exhaustion was also terrifying.

The spiritual energy in her body was nearing depletion.

Facing the impending lightning tribulation,

she had no certainty.

Furthermore...

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Su Chen's peaceful profile on her shoulder.

In this world, he was no longer here.

Zhaoge, the Great Yin, the Hehuan Sect.

They had all become things of the past.

In this world, there was no longer anyone who could call out her name.

This empty world, without his presence...

What interest was there in remaining?

Why not...

just end it here.

Together with him.

Being struck off the Execution Platform by the lightning tribulation.

Falling into this endless void and being completely torn apart by the chaotic laws.

Soul dissipated, true spirit extinguished.

Wouldn't that also count as

what she had always deluded herself with?

Having him all to herself, completely and utterly.

Never to be separated for all eternity.

She slowly closed her crimson eyes.

A satisfied smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

She slowly adjusted Su Chen's body position.

Then, she used her own delicate body to press him beneath her.

Meanwhile, her red lips kissed Su Chen's grayish-blue lips.

Her kiss was exceptionally frantic, even biting through Su Chen's lips.

As if she were demanding something from him.

Unfortunately, Su Chen was already an empty shell now.

Even though she bit them, the warm blood she loved to taste when they kissed before didn't flow out.

"Husband... Husband..."

With a dazed look in her eyes, she rubbed frantically against Su Chen's body.

As if preparing for one last moment of pleasure before death.

But.

As if sensing the thoughts in her heart

and the monstrous karma on her body that was enough to trigger the wrath of the Heavenly Dao,

this world simply refused to grant her wish.

Boom—!

The sky above the Execution Platform

suddenly began to frantically gather several terrifying, grayish-purple thunderclouds.

The thunderclouds stacked layer upon layer, covering the entire horizon as far as the eye could see.

Within the cloud layers, countless bolts of lightning as thick as pythons surged silently.

A vast and terrifying pressure slowly descended.

The Heavenly Dao Lightning Punishment was formed.

If Su Daji's cultivation in this world was already close to the Law Realm,

then the lightning tribulation about to fall was the true law of heaven and earth.

Su Daji opened her eyes and looked at the thunderclouds above.

Her expression was completely calm.

She even increased the strength with which she pressed down on Su Chen's remains.

"Husband..."

"For the last part of the road, Demon Concubine Su Daji will walk it with you."

She gently caressed Su Chen's face, murmuring with obsessive laughter.

"My King is so handsome; Demon Concubine Su Daji will protect you beneath me. You must not let the lightning disfigure you."

"Otherwise..."

"When we reach the Yellow Springs Road later, how will I recognize you at a glance?"

Just as she finished speaking,

the first bolt of chaotic-colored lightning had already taken shape in the center of the clouds.

The aura of destruction locked onto the purple figure on the Execution Platform.

Their lips parted.

Su Daji gazed at her cold lover, quietly waiting for death.

However, just at the moment the lightning was about to strike,

something that had been hanging at her slender waist

suddenly trembled slightly.

It was the ice soul mirror.

The mirror Su Chen had casually given her long ago, calling it a "toy," but which actually had the effect of suppressing the backlash of the Hehuan Sect's techniques.

As one of the few gifts Su Chen had given her,

even though it was no longer of much use to her later on,

she had always kept it close to her and never taken it off.

At this moment, the mirror seemed to have gained sentience.

It detached itself from her waist on its own.

It floated up and stopped between Su Daji and Su Chen's remains.

The images of ruins and thunderclouds originally reflected on the mirror's surface quickly became blurred.

Immediately after, a speck of white light lit up from the center of the mirror.

In the very center of the white light, a familiar face appeared.
