Chapter 235 You see, he'd rather leave you all alone outside.

Shen Yuepo's face was now only frozen with calm, but beneath that calm was an unshakable stubbornness.

“He never intended to come out.” Her voice was icy. “After sacrificing his own divine soul and the power of the Fengdu Emperor Seal to kill Yun Jingyan and Dong Yuan, he planned to set up a permanent seal in the Blood Sea to prevent it from overflowing.”

"What?!" Shen Tu's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he almost collapsed. "The Emperor..."

Before he could finish speaking, his ghostly aura surged, and he was about to rush headlong into the outer barrier set up by the Fengdu Emperor's Seal.

"Shen Tu! Calm down!"

The refined-looking Ji Kang stepped forward to stop him, saying, "The Emperor set up this barrier to prevent us from entering and causing trouble, and even to prevent the seal from becoming unstable due to external interference!"

"If you rush in now, not only will you not be able to help, but you might also harm the Emperor!"

"Then are we just going to stand by and watch the Emperor..." Shen Tu's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice choked with sobs.

“Shen Tu can’t get in…” Shen Yuepo suddenly spoke, interrupting their argument.

She took a few steps forward, came to the edge of the barrier, stretched out her hand, and her fingertips easily pierced through the barrier that Shen Tu and the others could not cross.

The barrier rippled, but showed no rejection towards her.

She turned around and looked at the three Ghost Emperors with different expressions, her gaze finally settling on the darkness deep within the sea of ​​blood that devoured all light.

“But I can.”

The moment she finished speaking, she simultaneously activated the moon spirit power around her and the Netherworld power left behind by the ashes within her body.

He transformed into a streak of light and, without the slightest hesitation, leaped into the churning Netherworld Blood Sea, instantly swallowed up by its boundless ferocity.

"Emperor and Empress!"

Shen Tu's cry of alarm was drowned out by the sound of the blood waves.

Ji Kang and Du Ziren were also completely stunned, staring at the direction where Shen Yuepo had disappeared, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

She...she really went in?

A blood wave, filled with endless resentment and corrosive power, surged and roared outside the spiritual light barrier erected around Shen Yuepo.

The deeper you go, the greater the pressure becomes.

As far as the eye could see, there was only an impenetrable red, and countless agonizing, twisted phantoms of vengeful spirits tried to break through the barrier, emitting silent screams.

Guided by the spiritual power within her body and the aura of Feng Jin, Shen Yuepo charged towards the direction where the energy fluctuations were most violent.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the road ahead suddenly became empty.

It wasn't that the sea of ​​blood disappeared, but rather that a relatively peaceful space appeared, forcibly opened up by a more powerful force.

The edge of this space was constantly being washed and eroded by waves of blood, yet it remained firmly stable.

The sight in the center of the space caused Shen Yuepo's pupils to suddenly contract.

Feng Jin stood tall in the center, his dark imperial robes fluttering in the wind, his aura of the Netherworld Emperor fighting against the ferocious power of the entire Blood Sea.

Opposite him stood an extremely strange figure.

That could barely be considered humanoid.

On the left half, there is a vague resemblance to Yun Jingyan, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a pale and gloomy face.

On the right side, she wore a tattered suit of armor that was so stained with blood that its original color was no longer recognizable, and her long, silver-white hair was disheveled.

The combination of a demigod and a blood-soaked evil creature creates a chaotic and terrifying aura.

At this moment, the monster was gathering the power of the sea of ​​blood, transforming it into countless ferocious ghost claws, and frantically attacking Feng Jin from all directions.

Although Feng Jin is powerful, he needs to be distracted by maintaining the inner and outer double barriers and dealing with the fierce attacks of the fused monster.

Clearly, they were locked in a fierce battle, and the corners of the emperor's robes were stained with indelible, foul blood.

Just as a ghostly hand formed from resentment was about to touch Feng Jin's vital point, a moon-white sword light suddenly shone.

"Whoosh!"

The sword light slashed across the ghost hand's wrist, instantly severing the resentful ghost hand.

The severed ghostly hand emitted a shrill scream before turning into black smoke and dissipating.

This sudden assistance startled all three parties involved in the battle, causing them to slow their attacks.

Feng Jin turned his head sharply, and when he saw the figure holding the short sword, a helpless smile appeared on his lips.

"I knew you'd come..."

He paused, his dark golden eyes churning with a torrent of emotions.

The second half of her sentence was spoken so softly it was almost a soliloquy: "But you really came, and I don't know whether to be happy or worried..."

Or perhaps it was out of rage at her disregard for her safety…

Or do you feel sorry for her risking her life?

Or was it fear that she might perish with him?

Or perhaps, in moments of boundless loneliness, the heart that was suddenly ignited by her arrival begins to beat again…

His unfinished words struck the soul more directly than any words could have.

Shen Yuepo gripped the short sword in his hand tightly, the blade humming from the previous strike and its master's emotions.

Upon seeing Feng Jin, Shen Yuepo's anger at Feng Jin's unauthorized arrangements subsided.

She raised her eyes, meeting Feng Jin's gaze, and spoke each word clearly, piercing through the roar of the sea of ​​blood:

"Feng Jin, I told you, you've been lonely for tens of thousands of years. Don't be afraid, I'll be here to keep you company."

"I won't leave you alone in this dark and gloomy place forever."

Her gaze swept past Feng Jin and coldly landed on the fused monster that was half Yun Jingyan and half Dong Yuan.

He raised his short sword, the tip pointing directly at Yun Jingyan's half-face, his voice as cold as ice:

"Yun Jingyan, the grudges of the previous life, today... will be settled here."

After the initial shock, a near-morbid excitement appeared on the other side of Yun Jingyan's face.

He let out a strange, gurgling laugh, his voice sometimes sounding as soft and feminine as Yun Jingyan himself, and at other times mixed with the gloom of Dongyuan:

"My good disciple, you're disobedient..."

Yun Jingyan's voice was filled with regret and distortion, "How could you fall in love with the Emperor of Fengdu, who is colder than the River of Oblivion?"

"Look, he'd rather leave you all alone out there than let you die with him. How heartless of him..."

His scarlet tongue licked across the cracked corner of his mouth, and his tone suddenly became eerily gentle:

"It's different for me. Even if I die, I'll take you with me..."

Before the words were finished—

"Smack!"

A soul-locking chain wrapped in ghostly flames struck Yun Jingyan's mouth with lightning speed.

The force was so great that it made him stagger, and the light of the fused entity became disordered for a moment.

Feng Jin retracted the chains, his eyes cold, and uttered only two words: "Noisy."

"Pfft..."

The cave emitted a deep, strange laugh, as if it had witnessed something extremely amusing:

"Old Yun, Old Yun, hahaha! You actually dared to compete with the Emperor of Fengdu for a woman? Interesting... really interesting!"

"That's right, I'm on your side. Take what's his!"

Dong Yuan's voice suddenly turned cold, and the right half of his armor shone with a brilliant crimson light, instantly gathering terrifying evil energy:

"But... enough talk! Let's kill him first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura surged, and his attack became several times more ferocious than before, carrying the malevolent energy of a sea of ​​blood.

Transforming into countless vengeful spirits and dark tentacles capable of devouring all light, they simultaneously enveloped Feng Jin and Shen Yuepo from the sky.
