The ancient mysterious boat.

Under the green shade, the breeze is gentle.

He Ling was dressed in a green dress, and she quietly leaned against Yun Che, with her porcelain-white calves and delicate feet exposed, allowing the flowers and plants to touch her.

She liked the way things were now, an indescribable tranquility, a sense of security and warmth she had never experienced before, and she even secretly hoped that time could just freeze forever.

Yun Che looked ahead, thinking silently. He didn't know when a hand under He Ling's skirt began to rub back and forth on her breasts, his fingers full of soft, fragrant and smooth flesh.

If it was Qianye Ying'er, she would have slapped him and his body ten miles away. But He Ling did not resist at all, biting her lip lightly, allowing him to flirt with her wantonly.

Occasionally, she would quietly turn her head to look at Yun Che. However, those beautiful eyes, which were like mist, had undergone a subtle change. They were no longer docile when facing their "master", but a look of appreciation for their man.

Contrary to what Yun Che thought, after six days of dual cultivation with He Ling, his perception of the Law of Void showed no signs of further improvement.

Instead, He Ling's aura was silently undergoing strange changes. Especially her pair of emerald eyes, the divine light within became even deeper and more dreamy.

Of the three books of the universe, he only had two.

Could it be that before obtaining the last book of the universe, there is an unbridgeable chasm in front of us?

However, the last copy of the World-Defying Book was in the possession of the Heaven-Smiting Demon Emperor. With her departure, it had disappeared forever in the Primal Chaos.

This means... at present, this is probably the limit of the Law of Nothingness that he can reach.

In the years that followed, he would be able to do it more easily and naturally, but he would never be able to go any further.

The reason why he suddenly wanted to practice dual cultivation with He Ling was that after the Burning Moon incident, his trust in Chi Wuyao suddenly turned into countless times of fear and murderous intent.

It also made him realize more sharply that the only person he could truly trust and rely on in this world was himself.

He used the Law of Void to forcibly connect the source power of the Four-Star God with his own Qi, and took on the burden and backlash of opening the "Divine Ashes". Although he killed Fen Daojun, he also caused the source of the Four-Star God to collapse and disappear forever.

And if he can go a step further with the Void Method, he might be able to forcibly absorb the power of the divine source... such as the Burning Moon source power of Fen Daojun and Fen Daozang.

If this can be achieved, his cultivation will surely improve greatly.

But obviously, the barrier of laws created by the incompleteness of the World-Defying Book cannot be broken through by force.

However, although he failed to achieve his wish, he had now perfectly controlled the Three Yama Ancestors and the Yama Realm, and was no longer afraid of Chi Wuyao.

Moreover, during these days of being with He Ling day and night, his mood had become much better.

“Master, what are you thinking about?” He Ling’s voice was very soft and gentle. She and Yun Che were connected by life, and could clearly sense his mood changes.

“It’s almost time. It’s time to go meet that woman.” Yun Che said slowly.

He Ling raised her eyes and said softly, "Master, do you really want to... kill the Demon Queen?"

As she spoke, she still leaned her head against his shoulder, unwilling to let him go. She had been with him day and night for years, but for some reason, in just a few days, her attachment to him had increased a thousand times, and even if his body was slightly apart, she would feel empty in her heart.

“She must die.” Yun Che’s voice suddenly turned cold, and then immediately turned gentle, saying: “Unfortunately, I realized it too late. If it was earlier, I would have directly given her the power to kill Fen Daojun.”

He Ling thought for a moment and said, "Master, this is the time when you need strength the most. The Soul Stealing Realm is so powerful, and all the witches and spirits are completely loyal to the Demon Queen. If you kill the Demon Queen by force at this time, even if you succeed, you will become a mortal enemy of the Soul Stealing Realm. This will be a very bad thing for both the present and the future."

“If we continue to maintain our alliance, it will be a very powerful force.” He Ling lowered her voice and said weakly, “Besides… when the Demon Queen is around, it always gives people a very reliable and reassuring feeling.”

"No," Yun

Che shook his head: "If it were someone else, I would choose to pretend that I didn't see through it, pretend to be friendly with them, merge their power to pacify the three divine realms, and then settle the score."

“But Chi Wuyao is too smart and too terrifying.” Yun Che’s chest rose and fell heavily. “I have only been with her for such a short time, and yet I have been used and plotted against to this point. If I continue to ‘cooperate’ with her, I am afraid I will fall into the abyss step by step.”

In the vast Northern Divine Region, the only person who could make Yun Che feel so fearful was Chi Wuyao.

He Ling clearly felt the murderous intent released by Yun Che. Her tender lips moved very lightly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, “Could it be…could it be that everything is just a coincidence, and the Demon Queen has no intention of harming the Master?”

“Everything could be a coincidence, except for the Soul Sky Ship. It absolutely cannot be one.” Yun Che said.

“But…” He Ling hesitated and said, “I always feel that she will not harm the master. On the contrary… on the contrary…”

He Ling did not continue. She knew that this was just a feeling that came from nowhere and had no basis.

“This is also her most terrifying aspect, as it makes people trust her without realizing it.” Yun Che narrowed his eyes: “It should be said that she is worthy of being the soul of the Devil Emperor.”

Yun Che stood up and looked into the distance. He sensed the change in Qianye Ying'er's aura and his eyes slowly turned colder: "Let me see if she really dares to come or is she just bluffing."

After returning to the Yama Emperor’s Territory, Yun Che immediately sensed Chi Wuyao’s presence.

She has arrived and is in the Imperial Palace.

Besides her, there was no other aura from the Soul Stealing World... No witches, souls, or soul servants followed her, only her!

Yun Che paused in mid-air, his brows furrowed. Once again, Chi Wuyao’s actions were completely beyond his expectations.

He ordered Yan Tianxiao to block the news just as a cover to interfere with Chi Wuyao's judgment, and he never thought that Chi Wuyao would not be able to find out how he forced the vast Yama Realm to surrender.

What's more, she knows more about the Eternal Darkness than Yan Tianxiao.

He could mobilize the power of the Eternal Darkness Bone Sea and force the entire Yama Realm to submit... Chi Wuyao had no reason not to know that if she dared to enter the Yama Emperor's domain, Yun Che would definitely be able to mobilize the power of the Eternal Darkness Bone Sea to force her to death.

So, why did she dare to come?

He absolutely did not believe that someone as scheming as Chi Wuyao would not realize that he wanted to kill her.

After thinking for a long time, Yun Che's figure sank and landed in front of the Emperor's Palace.

"Welcome my Lord and the two ancestors." Yan Tianxiao quickly came forward, and behind him, followed the five Yama demons including Yan Wu. Obviously, since the Demon Queen came in person, they would never dare to despise them in the slightest.

“Hmm?” Yun Che glanced at them and said, “Are there no one among you to entertain the guests?”

Yan Tianxiao said: "The Queen of Demons said that she only wanted to see my Lord. Thinking that it might involve my Lord's private affairs, we dare not make any private decisions."

“Are you sure she’s the only one here?” Yun Che asked.

"Yes." Yan Wu replied: "I went out to investigate personally, and the Demon Queen is indeed alone. There is no trace of a demon woman within a thousand miles of the world."

“Humph, interesting.” Yun Che stepped forward, passed through Emperor Yama and Yama, and walked straight into the Emperor’s Palace.

As the light dimmed, Yun Che saw Chi Wuyao’s figure at a glance. She was still shrouded in the misty black fog, and she still had that invisible, soul-stirring demonic power that made people want to kneel down and submit.

"The Queen of Demons has come to visit us. Please forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

Yun Che strode forward, his voice clear and loud. Behind him, Yan Yi and Yan San released their auras, instantly dispelling Chi Wuyao’s invisible aura.

Chi Wuyao turned around, and her charming eyes beneath the black mist looked directly into Yun Che’s eyes… After not seeing him for so many days, his eyes were still as cold as ever, but with a hint of a sharp edge that was too piercing.

Because he no longer needs to pretend.

Those few short words just now were also undisguisedly declaring to her his identity as the Lord of Yama.

She gently opened her lips and uttered a devilish voice: "Calling me the Queen of Demons is actually more intimate than calling me by my name."

Her tone changed slightly, becoming sad and complaining, as if she was crying and complaining: "It's only been more than 20 days since we last met, how come we are so unfamiliar?"

“Ha!” Yun Che sneered, his brows suddenly darkening, “Chi Wuyao, please put away your coquettish attitude. You are not so naive as to think that I would pretend not to know what you have done, are you?”

This time, “Chi Wuyao”, the same three words, were colder and more piercing than any other time before.

“…” Chi Wuyao sighed and said, “Qianying’s matter was indeed my fault. I will make amends.”

If she hadn't asked Qianye Ying'er to fight Fen Daojun, the following events wouldn't have happened. This also became a deep knot in her heart.

Yun Che narrowed his eyes fiercely, and a hint of murderous intent shone through his sneer: “You were completely clueless before, but now you admit it so readily. You are indeed the famous Northern Territory Demon Queen. You really know how to judge the situation.”

“My mistake was… I shouldn’t have let Qianying fight Fen Daojun.” Chi Wuyao said slowly, “I really didn’t know she was pregnant.”

The coldness on Yun Che’s lips suddenly turned into deep mockery: “So, you summoned the Soul Sky Ship in such a timely manner just to take care of my safety? Haha… Haha, Chi Wuyao, guess, this is such a big joke, should I believe it or not?”

“…” Chi Wuyao did not speak.

"I have to admit that when it comes to scheming and viciousness, you are indeed terrifying enough. It doesn't seem too much to say that no one can compare to you. After all, you are the only one in the world who has gone from being an ordinary woman to becoming a demon queen that even the god Didu is terrified of."

“Unfortunately, you are still too impatient.” Yun Che said in a low voice: “Perhaps in your opinion, compared to taking down the vast Burning Moon, a small sacrifice is completely worth it. Even if I know everything later, I will gladly accept Burning Moon’s surrender.”

"But it's hard to understand a person, just like I've never been able to see you clearly. Although I'm an evil ghost who will do anything for revenge, I still have...a bottom line that must not be crossed!"

Chi Wuyao remained silent. Under the black fog, she kept looking at Yun Che, her eyes fixed on him.

“Before I stepped into this place, I was very curious about one thing.” Yun Che’s gaze had always been on Chi Wuyao, watching every tiny move she made without ever straying from the subject. “That is, how on earth are you going to leave here alive?”

Chi Wuyao: “…”

"If it was just that joke just now, it would be too disappointing and would be a disservice to your great reputation as the 'Demon Queen'."

The curve of Yun Che’s mouth became more and more sinister, and his eyes became darker and darker. He slowly raised his hand, with his palm facing Chi Wuyao, “You, the Demon Queen, must know the reason why the Yama Realm had to submit to me. If I mobilize the power of the Eternal Darkness Bone Sea, even if there are ten of you, you won’t be able to leave alive.”

"But since you dare to come here alone, you must have something to rely on. This makes me very curious."

Yun Che’s eyes had narrowed into two long and narrow slits. The auras of the two Yama Ancestors behind him had also firmly locked onto Chi Wuyao: “Come, let me see for myself how you will break through this impasse. Please don’t let me down.”

Under the black mist, Chi Wuyao’s beautiful eyes moved away, her body turned slightly, and she spoke faintly: “Destiny is an incomparably magical thing. It can never be predicted, and it is even more impossible to know... Sometimes a spur-of-the-moment decision can lead to huge and wonderful results.”

“What?” Yun Che sneered coldly and said sarcastically, “Could it be that this is the prelude to your heart-confusing and soul-stealing trick?”

“Yun Che…” She called softly, as if mumbling in a dream: “Do you still remember… ten years ago… in the Snow Song Realm… the 36th Ice Phoenix Palace… sending you the Lotus Rhythm Cold Dew…”

"Master...sister...?"

Here is a joke that most of the students probably won’t understand:

Mars: "There is an idiom called 'three points into the wood'."

Yun Che: “Why are you cursing at me?”
