Chapter 1670: The Devil's Soul

“Fen Daoqi! You…you are a traitorous bastard!”

The moment Fen Daoqi knelt before Chi Wuyao, the hearts and souls of countless Burning Moon warriors trembled and shattered.

The God Emperor died, the barrier collapsed, and the core of the inheritance fell into the hands of others. The Demon Queen and the Great Witch descended on the royal city. They thought that there would be cowards who were afraid of death and surrendered to the Demon Queen, but no one expected that the Emperor Master who was the most respected and relied upon by the Burning Moon God Emperor would be the first one!

And there was no resistance at all. After just a few words, he knelt down and shouted that he would follow me till death.

"Fen Daoqi...are you worthy of my king?"

“You received great kindness from Burning Moon, but you betrayed her when she was in trouble… After you die, will you still have the face to see the God Emperor and your ancestors?”

“…”

The Eclipse Moon and Burning Moon God Envoys stood up one after another. They were angry but also puzzled. Because in their understanding, Fen Daoqi had been assisting the God Emperor all his life. He and his clan were loyal to him. In the past, he had helped Fen Daojun become the Emperor at all costs and even at the cost of his life. It could be said that he was willing to die for Fen Daojun.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so highly regarded by Fen Daojun... Why did he switch sides so quickly today?

Fen Daoqi looked back, facing the angry eyes, but there was no guilt on his face, instead, he was even more incomprehensible: "The God Emperor died, and the Demon Jade fell into the hands of the Cloud God Emperor. You all saw it with your own eyes. From today on, Fen Yue is dead in name only! Even if I die in battle, I can only earn a little dignity for myself, but I can't save Fen Yue from death."

“On the contrary, the fierce battle at the Divine Master level will drag countless innocent Burning Moon Mysterious Practitioners, and even the descendants of the First Master, to be buried with them!”

He clenched his hands, his voice getting heavier: "I, Fen Daoqi, am incompetent and have failed to protect Fen Yue. Even if I die, I will be sorry for my ancestors. But compared to dying in battle, my life has a greater use..."

"Pooh!!"

Fen Zhuo shouted angrily, and the magic light on his body burst out, but the residual power of the true god in his soul had not yet dissipated. The magic light shining on his body was quite chaotic and distorted: "I, Fen Yue, don't have a spineless dog like you! I will kill you first!"

With a loud roar, he rushed towards Fen Daoqi... Behind him, the other Eclipse Moon Warriors also surged with profound energy, vowing to fight to the death.

No one is not afraid of death, but compared to the shame of "betrayal", which once branded, will follow them for life and even for thousands of generations, they would rather die!

What's more, they still have eleven Moon Eclipsers and a group of God's Messengers! Even if they all die here, it will definitely cause great damage to the Soul Stealer Realm!

At worst, they can still escape!

As Fen Zhuo's figure rushed out, a black silk suddenly swept down. Fen Zhuo, whose aura was already extremely chaotic, saw a black screen in front of his eyes. The demonic light that had just surged from his body instantly dissipated, and he fell heavily to the ground, but his eyes were still full of bloody ferocity.

Chi Wuyao gathered her fingers together and retracted the black silk. She half-closed her charming eyes and looked down. The voice of judgment that had weighed heavily on her heart and soul before had turned into a soft mockery when she spoke: "How ridiculous. Although I have never looked down upon you, Burning Moon, I never thought that even the Eclipse Moon could be so despicable. The only one who still has a backbone is actually being called a 'spineless dog' by a group of pitiful idiots. It is simply ridiculous."

“Demon Queen!!” Fen Zhuo gnashed his teeth, and the devilish light on his body reappeared: “Don’t try to confuse me with evil words. I, the Moon Eclipse… would rather die than be humiliated!”

“Humiliate? You have already despised yourselves to the point of being useless dogs. Do you still need me to humiliate you?” Chi Wuyao’s voice became even more sarcastic.

"Heh...ridiculous!" Fen Zhuo forced himself to stand up, determined to fight to the death.

“Ridiculous? Yes, you are indeed ridiculous.” Chi Wuyao still half-closed her eyes, and her devilish voice slowly spread to every corner of Burning Moon Royal City: “As Eclipse Mooners, you are not only the core of the Burning Moon Realm, but also the pillars of the entire Northern Divine Region.”

"Your power was not given by the Burning Moon, nor by your dead God Emperor, but is a legacy from the ancient demons!"

She changed the subject and said slowly, "The deceased Burning Moon God Emperor Fen Daojun, he was arrogant and extravagant all his life, he was self-satisfied, he didn't like to fight, and he never thought about changing. He just wanted to keep his throne and everything he could enjoy. The future of Burning Moon? The future of the Northern Divine Region? He never cared about it!"

"Fen Daojun has spent his entire life guarding his home. And you... are essentially just a group of guard dogs at his feet!"

"You!" The Eclipse Moons were furious... Only Fen Daoqi closed his eyes silently, neither insulted nor angry.

As the Imperial Master of Burning Moon, he is the person in this world who knows Fen Daojun best.

"A loyal guard dog died for his deceased master. What a touching story!"

“And I am completely different from your predecessor.” Chi Wuyao stretched out her hand, and the black light on her fingertips pointed to the far southeast, where the Yama Realm was located. “You are only my first step. Soon, Yama will also be in my hands.”

“And the power that helped me accomplish all of this, you have just seen with your own eyes… That is the power that the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor deliberately left behind, and it is also the true hope left for our Northern Divine Region! In other words, Yun Che, who inherited the power of the Devil Emperor, is the most qualified, and the only one qualified to become the Emperor of the Northern Region.”

"Since he has inherited the power of the Demon Emperor, the Northern Divine Region no longer needs any other God Emperors."

Turning his gaze, Chi Wuyao continued, “After Fen Daoqi follows me, he will receive the gift of eternal darkness from Yun Che and inherit the most perfect power of darkness. In the future, he will be the pioneer who leads all living beings in the Northern Territory to break free from their cages and change the fate of the entire clan!”

"Even if I die, my name will be recorded in history forever!"

“And you…” The cold sarcasm once again pierced the hearts and souls of every Burning Moon person: “A group of people who inherited the core power of the Northern Divine Region, but are unwilling to fight to change the dark fate of the Northern Region. Instead, they are willing to be guard dogs who die in battle for a useless master!”

“Loyal? Loyal? Unyielding?” Chi Wuyao shook her head slowly, and smiled coldly: “No, when the new chapter of the Northern Divine Region’s history begins, what will be recorded of you will only be… ignorant, ridiculous, selfish guard dogs!”

“…”

The cold wind was blowing in Burning Moon Royal City. Every body and every pair of eyes were shaking and shivering.

Fen Zhuo stared blankly ahead, his eyes lifeless and his face pale. He had a very violent temper, but faced with Chi Wuyao’s repeated insults, he remained silent for a long time.

The dark light on his body swayed chaotically, like black fog swept by a strong wind.

The anger and strong will in his heart dissipated silently, and even the strength in his body was quickly draining away.

Unconsciously, his body bent down and his knees fell weakly to the ground.

With the help of the Nirvana Devil Soul, the same words spoken from Chi Wuyao’s lips would confuse people thousands of times more.

However, the eleven people she targeted the most were, after all, powerful Eclipsers...

But, before that, the Eclipse Moon followers saw with their own eyes that Yun Che killed Fen Daozang with one palm and buried Fen Daojun with one sword. That was true.

The pressure and shock of divine power had an impact on their will and souls that was no less than that of Chi Wuyao’s bewitching devilish sound.

Moreover, compared to the soul calamity, the impact that is truly presented before the eyes and in the mind is undoubtedly more thorough.

Especially after witnessing the power that instantly killed the God Emperor, the words "leading the Northern Divine Territory out of the cage" were no longer just a fantasy that existed in the imagination, but... seemed to be right in front of them.

The Demon Emperor's Successor...

The power to wipe out the God Emperor in an instant...

The pioneer who changed the history of Northern Divine Region...

The guard dog of the Burning Moon Emperor...

The last bit of persistence and faith finally dissipated. Fen Zhuo, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and uttered a hoarse voice: "Fen Zhuo... is willing to give up the name of Moon Eclipse, and from now on follow the Cloud God Emperor and the Demon Queen to fight to rewrite the fate of the Northern Territory... Even if it means death!"

Fen Daozang is dead, and Fen Zhuo is the strongest Eclipse Moon Master, and also the one with the most stubborn temper. He was the first one to stand up and curse Fen Daoqi, swearing to never surrender even if he died.

His kneeling undoubtedly crushed the last bit of persistence of all the other Eclipse Moon followers. The words of the Demon Queen and Yun Che's instantaneous Emperor-killing power quickly impacted and filled every corner of their souls.

The surging dark forces dissipated one by one, and the Eclipsers knelt down one by one... until all of them.

With the death of the God Emperor, all the Eclipsers chose to surrender. Then, what reason did the Burning Moon God Envoys, who were also at the core, have to persist... Whether they were willing or not, the moment the Eclipsers all knelt, they had lost even the chance to choose.

“Very good.” Chi Wuyao said calmly, “However, there is no need to abandon the name of the Moon Eclipser. The Burning Moon will exist, and your name of the Moon Eclipser will also continue to exist. The only thing that will change is the master of the Burning Moon.”

“Fen Daoqi,” Chi Wuyao said, “I now appoint you as the leader of the Eclipse Moon. I believe I don’t need to teach you how to do it. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer in a month.”

“Thank you, my Lord, for your grace. My Lord, rest assured, Daoqi will never fail in his mission!” Fen Daoqi had changed the way he addressed Chi Wuyao. Since he had made up his mind, he would stick to it to the end.

Chi Wuyao turned around and whispered, “Robbery of the Heart and the Soul. The rest is left to you.”

The Jie Xin Jie Ling nodded slightly… Chi Wuyao had already floated into the air and returned to the Soul Sky Ship.

To annex the kingdom, this is undoubtedly a grand, dangerous... and even somewhat ridiculous goal to anyone.

The overall strength of the three king realms in the Northern Territory varies, but let alone swallowing one, even if any two join forces, it is almost impossible for them to swallow the other one... Even if they can do it, the counterattack of those magic source inheritors will undoubtedly cause extremely tragic damage.

But today, the Soul Robbery swallowed the Burning Moon... in just one day, without bloodshed.

The inheritance of the God Emperor, the power of the true God, and the devilish sound that can confuse the mind, all of these are indispensable.

But perhaps, the most important thing is the desire to break free from the cage and break free from fate, which is buried deep in the heart of every strong man in the Northern Territory.

Back on the Soul Sky Ship, Chi Wuyao appeared beside Yun Che. His eyes were closed, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

There was no one around.

Chi Wuyao stood still for a moment, then slowly walked forward, lowered her eyes, and slowly stretched out her hand to touch Yun Che’s neck.

“Chi Wuyao,” a cold voice sounded from the front. Qianye Ying’er stood in the corner and stared at her intently: “I have something to tell you.”
