Chapter 29 The Love-Brained God 29 Slaying the Gods

The pain caused by damage to the soul is far more intense than the pain caused by damage to the body.

Since she became conscious, Jinxia had never suffered so much. She trembled all over from the pain, and her eyes were filled with deep fear as she looked at Yuanheng.

“Yuanheng, it really is your Xia’er, look at me, it’s me…”

Jinxia cried out in anguish, and dark red blood flowed from her eyes.

Without the identity of being the Demon Lord's lover, she faced Yuan Heng's brutality for the first time. The man in front of her bore no resemblance whatsoever to the one in her memory.

Although Yuan Heng in her memory was the Demon Lord and acted somewhat domineeringly, he was extremely kind to her.

He never argued with her, not even raising his voice.

Jinxia hopes to awaken Yuanheng and make him become the person she remembers.

So even though her ear was cut off, Jinxia still endured the pain and called out Yuanheng's name with deep affection.

However, Yuan Heng is arrogant and narrow-minded. He is naturally willing to be patient with those he protects, but if the person is not one he is protecting, Yuan Heng will show his cruel side.

The female immortal in front of him must have witnessed his doting on Jinxia, ​​so she deliberately impersonated Jinxia, ​​hoping to gain his attention by using Jinxia's face.

However, she was clearly delusional. A woman like her couldn't even compare to one of Jinxia's fingers. How could Yuanheng be moved by her?

Jinxia's heartfelt cries failed to make Yuanheng recognize her. Instead, he cut off Jinxia's tongue, rendering her unable to utter a sound.

"She's just a lowly female immortal, yet she dares to impersonate my woman. She's courting death."

His gaze was icy, and his eyes were filled with deep contempt and disgust as he looked at Jinxia.

With her soul damaged, Jinxia could no longer speak. She finally felt fear and made muffled noises.

[Yuanheng, it really is Jinxia, ​​it really is me...]

However, the man who claimed to be in tune with her couldn't hear her voice at all and became increasingly cruel towards her.

Only then did Jinxia clearly realize what the words "Demon Lord" meant, and finally understand why immortals and demons could not coexist.

When Yuan Heng attacked her, he showed no mercy, subjecting her to all sorts of unimaginable tortures.

The excruciating pain intensified, and Jinxia was forced to endure it all, unable to escape or find relief. Time and again, she teetered on the brink of death, only to be rescued by Yuanheng each time.

Qi Wang was standing nearby.

Jinxia looked truly pitiful, but Qi Wang showed no sympathy whatsoever.

Yuan Heng would punish any female immortal who developed feelings for him, using various means to justify it by saying that the lowly immortal dared to covet him and deserved to die. He was only giving her a slight punishment, which was already an extra act of mercy.

Jinxia simply offered Yuanheng a few words of advice, to which he replied that those female immortals knew he was with Jinxia, ​​yet they still coveted her, and whatever their fate, they deserved it.

Jinxia initially felt this was inappropriate, but she was quickly persuaded by Yuanheng.

Yes, she and Yuanheng traveled around together. Even though neither of them confessed their feelings, anyone with eyes could tell what their relationship was just by looking at them.

Knowing full well that they were in love, they still sidled up to Yuan Heng. Whatever punishment they received, it was their own fault.

So after Yuanheng punished them, Jinxia would make a special trip to see them and tell them why Yuanheng did it, so that they would not harbor any resentment towards him.

"That's just his personality. Although he went a bit too far, there was a reason for it..."

"After learning this lesson, when you meet other people in the future, make sure they are accompanied. This time he showed mercy, but if there is a next time, you may not be alive."

The innocent and carefree fairy will apologize on Yuan Heng's behalf, but at the same time, she will also explain that Yuan Heng had his reasons for doing so, so that they will not hold a grudge.

When she was the one being pampered and protected, her heart was filled with sweetness. She always felt that this person who disregarded the world for her sake was the one she should love.

She abandoned the man who valued the common people more than herself. If it were Cang Yu, he certainly wouldn't have attacked someone who coveted him.

She felt she had finally chosen the right man.

But when their roles were reversed, and she became the one who was hurt and tormented, she finally realized how terrifying and horrible Yuan Heng was.

And it was only then that she understood why those women had looked at her the way they did when she tried to persuade them not to hate Yuanheng.

She really knows she was wrong.

Jinxia was tortured to the point of near death, her soul on the verge of collapse. Just as Yuanheng was about to beat her soul to pieces, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"She really is Jinxia, ​​and she is the one you love."

However, Yuan Heng merely sneered and unhesitatingly delivered the fatal blow.

Jinxia, ​​who was already at her last gasp, was struck by his palm and her soul was scattered.

Watching Jinxia's soul dissipate, Yuan Heng felt no emotion whatsoever. To him, the woman before him was nothing more than a poor imitation, and her death would have no impact whatsoever.

As for the voice that reminded him that the woman in front of him was Jinxia, ​​Yuanheng simply did not believe it.

"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off in front of me? Trying to shake my mind with this is simply wishful thinking."

Yuan Heng exuded an arrogant and domineering aura, raising his head proudly with a chilling expression on his face: "You insignificant wretch, get out here before me!"

As he spoke, Yuan Heng released his divine sense.

He was a dignified Demon Lord, with an incomparably powerful divine soul; no villain could possibly escape his divine sense.

However, to everyone's surprise, there was nothing there.

His divine sense saw many vulnerable beings, but none of them were the person who had just dared to speak in his mind.

How could this be?

Yuan Heng frowned slightly, and a hint of impatience appeared in his eyes.

I never expected that this scoundrel would be so good at hiding, managing to conceal himself so well even after I used my divine sense to search for him.

The female immortal he just killed was merely a pawn; the mastermind behind it all must be that hidden guy, and he must find him.

"Do you really think you can hide it?"

Yuan Heng sneered and released his demonic energy.

His demonic energy was highly corrosive and incompatible with the spiritual energy of the heavens. Wherever his demonic energy passed, all the flowers, plants, and trees on the ground withered and died.

He didn't care about the lives of the celestial beings. The only one he cared about was Jinxia. Apart from Jinxia, ​​what did the lives of others have to do with him?

How many people are harmed after the demonic energy is released, and whether those people can be healed after being harmed by the demonic energy, has nothing to do with him.

However, his demonic energy only traveled less than thirty meters before crashing into a transparent wall.

The invisible wall firmly blocked his scattered demonic energy, sealing it off completely from all directions, rendering him unable to move.

However, no matter how much demonic energy he released, it was firmly blocked and not a single trace could leak out.

"Who dares to lay a hand on me? Come out here and I'll spare your life."

Even now, Yuan Heng still doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation. He only thinks that the other party used some means to slightly trap his demonic energy. He thinks that as long as he is serious, the other party will not be able to trap him.

However, Qi Wang didn't even intend to appear in front of Yuan Heng. He simply put the details of Jin Xia's ordeal into Yuan Heng's consciousness.

A memory suddenly appeared in Yuan Heng's mind. As the Demon Lord, who could secretly put something into his mind?

That memory could neither be erased nor blocked; it was so clearly present in Yuan Heng's mind.

He saw Jinxia's experience.

She was to succeed as the goddess of flowers, but regretted it before the celebration began.

She saw that in order to leave the Flower Realm, Jinxia voluntarily gave up the power of the Flower Goddess.

Having lost the power of the Flower Goddess, Jinxia became an ordinary-looking female immortal, and the Dragon God Cangyu even wanted to kill her because of this.

In the final memory, Yuan Heng's own face appeared.

He saw himself treating Jinxia as a lowly woman trying to seduce him. He saw himself destroying Jinxia's body with his own hands, then repeatedly tormenting her soul until it shattered and he struck her with a single palm, causing her soul to be scattered.

It seems that a voice told him at that time that the person was Jinxia, ​​but what did he do?

He didn't believe it, and without hesitation, he beat Jinxia until she was completely terrified.

He killed his lover with his own hands.

Realizing this, Yuan Heng's demonic energy began to surge violently.

Qi Wang originally thought that Yuan Heng's love for Jin Xia was just another self-indulgent sentimentality. However, when he saw Yuan Heng wanting to self-destruct after realizing that he had killed Jin Xia with his own hands, he realized that this ruthless demon lord actually loved Jin Xia.

However, his true love was also very cheap. His lover was right in front of him, but he couldn't recognize her. It was clearly still the same soul, but after losing the power of the flower goddess for decoration, he could no longer recognize her.

It's unclear whether Cang Yu and Yuan Heng love Jin Xia as a person, or the power of the Flower Goddess she possesses.

Death is instantaneous, so how could Qi Wang let Yuan Heng die so easily?

The Demon Lord's power, which was invincible in both the Heavenly and Demonic Realms, was nothing special in Qi Wang's eyes.

The Demon Lord feeds on human souls, as these souls strengthen his divine soul and enhance his power. Therefore, he recklessly absorbs human souls.

The Dragon God Cangyu held a position of power without doing any work, abandoning all living beings. In the past three years, the human world has become a living hell.

The souls of these dead people were filled with resentment, and this resentment became Yuan Heng's tonic.

The Dragon God committed atrocities and killed people, while Yuan Heng took the opportunity to strengthen his own power. The two of them cooperated perfectly.

Qi Wang captured Yuan Heng, stripped him of all his power, and turned him into an ordinary soul.

At first, Yuan Heng was unaware of his predicament until Qi Wang threw him back into the Demon Realm.

What would happen to a soul powerless to kill a chicken if it fell into the demon realm?

No one knew this better than Yuan Heng.

Souls are a great tonic for the beings of the demon realm. They can be used to refine pills, craft weapons, and fill their stomachs. They can also serve as experimental subjects, carrying the strange and wonderful spells that the demons research.

The celestial realm and the demon realm are two sides of the same coin; the celestial realm is on the yang side, and the demon realm is on the yin side.

The moment Yuanheng's soul was thrown back into the Demon Realm, he knew what was about to happen.

He decided to self-destruct decisively, but he soon realized that without any power, his attempt to self-destruct was wishful thinking.

Yuan Heng's soul was soon discovered by a deformed demon.

"Hehehe, such a pure soul... I have another new toy..."

The once high and mighty Demon Lord has been reduced to the lowest rank in the Demon Realm, constantly changing hands among the demons.
