The speed of the red light was faster than lightning. Fen Juechen only saw a flash of red light, and before he could even react, he was hit by the red light and instantly sank into his body.
Suddenly, the feeling of being pierced by countless steel needles spread wildly from his soul, making him let out an extremely shrill scream, and then his consciousness collapsed and he fainted.
The red-dressed girl's eyelashes drooped slightly, her eyes were cold and clear, and she maintained the same posture as she quickly read Fen Juechen's memory... After just ten breaths, the red light left Fen Juechen's body and disappeared in the air, and his memory was completely read by the red-dressed girl without missing a single thing.
At the same time, she also erased all his memories after seeing her.
The girl in red slowly withdrew her hand, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. She turned around, no longer looking at the unconscious Fen Juechen, and did not attack him again. Her snow-white hand gently drew a line in front of her body, and instantly, a long space crack appeared in front of her, and it continued to exist amid the hideous roar, without shrinking or disappearing.
"You have lived two lives, but your fate is so tragic. It's so pitiful that I don't even want to kill you."
With a low, indifferent groan, the girl stepped into the space crack, and then disappeared as the space crack closed.
——————————
After returning to Floating Cloud City, Yun Che quickly came to his own courtyard and began to concentrate on recovering his profound strength and injuries. The battle with Fen Juechen was far from as tragic and thrilling as he had expected. With Fen Juechen still having nearly 40% of his strength left, he was actually defeated by him with a crushing force... Thinking about it now, it still feels a little unbelievable.
“Jasmine, I always feel that Fen Juechen’s state is a little strange. Could it be that after a large amount of magic profound force is consumed, the subsequent ability is so weak?”
Yun Che waited for a long time, but did not receive a response from Jasmine.
Is she sleeping? No, the poison in her body has been cleared, so she shouldn't fall into a deep sleep with her consciousness completely sealed.
While hesitating, Yun Che sank his consciousness and entered the Sky Poison Pearl.
In the world of the Sky Poison Pearl, only Hong'er was soundly sleeping, unaware of his arrival... but he did not see Jasmine, nor did he sense her presence.
"..." Yun Che thought silently for a while, and did not leave the Sky Poison Pearl, but stood there waiting for Jasmine to come back. Although Jasmine no longer needed to rely on the Sky Poison Pearl, she still shared her life with him, and her soul could not stay away from him for too long, and she would be back soon.
As expected, Yun Che only waited for a short while before a red light flashed in front of him. Hong'er returned to him in a playful manner, with a blank expression on her milky white face.
"...Are you waiting for me?"
“You’re not going to… look for Fen Juechen, are you?” Yun Che asked with a suspicious look on his face.
“Humph, you guessed right.” Jasmine turned her face away, her lips curled up unconsciously, as if she was very unhappy that he guessed what she had just done: “But don’t worry, I didn’t kill him, I just got some things from him that I wanted to know.”
“So, you already know all his secrets?” Yun Che asked in surprise.
"Hmph, that's about right."
Yun Che was shocked and asked immediately, “Then where did he get his power? What happened to him in those years? Why did he want to get the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword?”
Jasmine said "almost", which must mean that she knew everything clearly. The various strange things about Fen Juechen had always been lingering in his mind. Since Jasmine already knew the answer, he certainly wanted to ask for clarification.
"It seems that you are very concerned about Fen Juechen's matter." Jasmine said lightly.
“I’m just very curious.” Yun Che frowned and said, “In just four years, his power has skyrocketed to that extent. It’s simply unbelievable. The profound power he used is something I’ve never seen before. The ‘Heavenly Sin Divine Sword’ he mentioned today is even more bizarre. I always feel that there seems to be a huge mystery hidden behind Fen Juechen, and I can’t help but think too much about it.”
“It’s more than just a huge mystery.” Jasmine’s slender brows sank slightly: “The things recorded in his memory are much more interesting than I thought!”
Although she said "interesting", Jasmine's face was clearly heavy.
This undoubtedly made Yun Che's curiosity and suspicion, which were already very strong, increase several times. When Jasmine called out "Eternal Night Illusionary Devil Codex" before, her tone was very abnormal. Now it seems that the complexity of this matter is far beyond his imagination.
“Could it be that this is another level that I cannot know about?” Yun Che asked cautiously. Jasmine had hidden many things from him, and as long as she did not want to tell him, she would not reveal a single word to him no matter what.
Jasmine glanced at him, then turned away proudly. "Although this matter is troublesome to talk about, if you want to know so much... humph, I am in a good mood today after getting rid of the devil poison, so I can tell you. However, no matter who you meet in the future, you must not reveal a single word of what I say."
I don’t think it’s that serious… Yun Che said with a righteous look on his face: “I don’t think there is anyone in this world who knows me better than you. Don’t you know whether I am the kind of person who doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter or not?”
"Hmph, you've never known the importance of treating women well!" Jasmine snorted coldly.
Yun Che was speechless.
Jasmine stretched out her arms and clasped her hands together to create a small soundproof barrier around Hong'er... This soundproof barrier was certainly not to prevent her from eavesdropping, but to prevent it from disturbing her sleep.
This casual action demonstrated Jasmine's almost subconscious care for Hong'er.
Jasmine has always been very protective of Hong'er, but she is always mean to me... Yun Che thought sourly.
"In the ancient times, it was the age of the gods, and other races were all lowly and humble. The north of the chaotic space is Yin, and the south is Yang. The southern chaos is the world where the ancient gods exist, and the northern chaos is the world of the ancient demons. The gods and demons each occupy half of the chaotic space. The two races repel each other and are hostile to each other, but they rarely cause hostility. They even rarely interact with each other and live in peace, just like two parallel worlds with contradictory attributes."
Jasmine began to tell the story, but Yun Che was confused by what she said. He couldn’t help but ask, “This…what does this have to do with Fen Juechen’s matter?”
"Don't interrupt!" Jasmine snorted, "Of course, this is related to Fen Juechen's matter."
Yun Che: “…”
"The reason why gods and demons are so powerful is that they were bred by the power of the beginning of chaos, and they also grew up under the breath of the beginning of chaos... That most refined, powerful, and ultimate breath of heaven and earth at the beginning of chaos is the 'primordial energy' that I mentioned when I taught you the Great Dao Fu Tu Jue. Although what you absorbed with the Great Dao Fu Tu Jue is also the energy of heaven and earth, I don't know how many levels it is different from the 'primordial energy' in terms of level. It is completely a world of difference."
Yun Che naturally remembered the “Hongmeng Qi”. At that time, Jasmine had said that if the Great Dao Fu Tu Jue could be cultivated to the tenth level, it would be possible to draw the ultimate power of heaven and earth—the power of Hongmeng! But she also said that with a human body, the Great Dao Fu Tu Jue could only be cultivated to the sixth level, which was already the limit.
"After the Age of Gods, it is impossible for a true god to appear. The most fundamental reason is that the primordial energy in the chaotic space has long been so thin that it is impossible to give birth to a body and power at the level of a god. And as the chaotic world becomes more and more turbid, the primordial energy will only become weaker and weaker year by year, which also means that a true god will never appear again. By now, the chaotic space may no longer have the pure and extreme primordial energy that it originally had."
"In that ancient time, the gods were the supreme beings. Today's countless planets, star realms, and independent small worlds are partly created by chaos, and a large part is created or transformed by the gods. And now more than 90% of the races are also nurtured by the power of the gods. Including humans, demons, elves, dark races, wood spirits..."
“Darkness, Wood Spirit… Clan? What kind of race is that?” Yun Che asked subconsciously. He had never heard of the names of these two races. There was no record of them in either the Profound Sky Continent or the Illusory Demon Realm.
Jasmine rolled her eyes at him, as if she was angry that he interrupted her again, but she just snorted softly and finally continued patiently, "The Wood Spirits, like the Elves, are a race that is extremely close to the power of nature. They can communicate with plants and control them to a certain extent. This race has a very low talent for profound power, so they are very humble and weak. Coupled with their special strength and "physique", once they fall into the hands of foreigners, the consequences will be extremely miserable... They will be enslaved and used as tools to find or cultivate medicinal materials. Even worse, they will be directly used to refine spiritual medicines or medicinal spirits! At the auctions in my world, you can often see Wood Spirits being auctioned. Since the number of people in this race is decreasing and it is on the verge of extinction, the selling price is also getting higher and higher."
Yun Che: “…”
"The Dark Clan is a race that can change its form at will and feed on darkness. There is no distinction between male and female, and they can reproduce on their own. This race is not small in size, but can only exist in places surrounded by yin energy. The upper limit of their self-cultivation profound strength is extremely low, but they have the ability to rob the souls of living beings and increase their own strength by devouring souls."
"Feeding...darkness...?" Yun Che's eyes widened. He could understand feeding on plants, morning dew, or even the west wind and flying, but what the hell was feeding on darkness? ?
Is it edible to eat something called “darkness”?
“Hmph! Ignorance!” Jasmine said with disdain: “Based on your knowledge, you may only know the existence of humans, beasts, and demons. In this huge chaotic space, there are hundreds of races, big and small. What you know is not even a drop in the ocean! Not only do there exist races that feed on darkness or light, but there are also races that feed on dreams and even space. It is rumored that in ancient times, there was also a race that fed on time…”
“~! @#￥%…” Yun Che’s mind almost froze as he thought about it. He couldn’t imagine what it would be like to eat dreams, eat space, and eat time…
“Forget it. You haven’t even stepped out of a tiny Blue Pole Star. I don’t think you’ll ever understand these things in your lifetime. It’s a complete waste of words to talk to you about this.” Jasmine crossed her two delicate arms in front of her chest, with an arrogant attitude that looked down on everyone.
"And the Age of Gods finally came to an end. I told you the reason for the end a long time ago... It was because of a sword."
“Heaven-Slaying Ancestral Sword!” Yun Che whispered softly.
