The sea of thunder dissipated, but the boiling blood and trembling souls of the people could not calm down at all. They felt that every cell and every hair in their bodies fell into the abyss of fear. It was a tremor that they had never experienced even in nightmares.
As the remaining lightning gradually dissipated, the world became completely quiet, without a single sound. Even the blood and evil spirits that were originally floating in the air were swallowed up by the sea of lightning and dissipated for the most part.
Yun Che lay prone on the ground, motionless and silent. The blood-stained Heaven Smiting Sword that had caused countless nightmares had left his hand and lay silently beside him.
This time, not only his aura, but even his existence was so faint that it was almost undetectable.
However, in the terrifying silence, none of the Star Guards approached for a long time, and not even one person took a step forward. After the nightmares Yun Che created time and time again, they had completely become frightened birds. They were afraid that this ghost was just taking a temporary rest like before, and once they got close, they would wake up immediately and drag them into the abyss of death.
"Finally... it's over." Tianyuan Star God Tumi closed his eyes and let out a long breath. As his mind calmed down a little, he realized that his pale hair and beard were covered with cold sweat.
At his level, he could naturally detect that the purple sea of lightning that destroyed the heavens and the earth was Yun Che's last strength. This time, he was completely exhausted.
“…” The Star God Emperor’s face twitched, and his hands were clenched tightly.
“His life force and soul force have become extremely weak at the same time. It seems that this power that goes against common sense may come at the cost of his own life and soul. The power that exceeds his own endurance limit will first damage his Xuanmai. It is very likely that... his Xuanmai has been destroyed. Even if my king wants to keep him, it is impossible.” Tianyuan Star God said slowly.
“Let… him… die!!” the Star God Emperor said in a low voice. As much as he wanted to keep Yun Che in the beginning, he wanted him to die just as much now.
"Fortunately, the ritual had just started, and this accident did not cause any major damage." Tianyuan Star God said. If the ritual had reached the critical step of extracting the fusion power, and the Star Gods and elders were so distracted, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Destroy him." Tianyuan Star God ordered: "He has completely lost his strength and is likely dead. Destroy his body and leave no trace!"
"yes."
All the Star Guards responded in unison... but then an extremely embarrassing scene occurred. For one breath... two breaths... three breaths... the Star Guards looked at each other, but no one moved forward.
"I'll do it!" Just as the Star God Emperor was about to fly into a rage, a figure took a step forward and soared into the sky. It was the commander of the Tiangang Star Guards. As the commander of the Star Guards, he had to go first even if it meant biting the bullet.
He still had scars from Yun Che's sword. He possessed the power of a ninth-level Divine Lord. His eyes were cold and resolute, but the light in his pupils was obviously a little erratic. He only moved forward a little, but he seemed to have no courage to get closer. A flash of profound light appeared in his hand, and he was about to shoot at Yun Che from a distance.
The mysterious light in his hand had just gathered when he suddenly saw Yun Che in the distance... his remaining left arm moved slightly.
It was just an extremely light tremor of the body, but it made the Tiangang Star Guard commander tremble all over. He was frightened to the point of almost losing his soul, and fell backwards at the fastest speed in his life, retreating to a position farther away than before, and the mysterious light in his hand also dissipated completely.
Before he could recover from the shock, he had already realized how embarrassing and shameful his reaction and actions were. However, no one looked at him with contempt and ridicule, because everyone’s eyes were focused on Yun Che, and everyone had the same look of fear on their faces as he did.
Because Yun Che was really moving.
His left arm slowly stretched out and grabbed the ground in front of him, then dragged his body and moved forward a little with difficulty. Then, his arm stretched out again and grabbed... bit by bit, inch by inch, like an old man whose life was about to completely wither, he crawled forward with his only remaining arm...
And the direction he was crawling towards… was where Jasmine and Caizhi were.
Yun Che's world was already dark.
There was no light, no sound, no pain, and no sense of his own existence. He didn't know where he was, let alone where Jasmine was, but his feelings, his last bit of thoughts and will led him to crawl towards that unknown direction.
The world became even quieter. Not only was there no sound, but even time seemed to have completely stopped. Everyone, all eyes were fixed there, staring at Yun Che in shock. No one spoke, and no one came closer...
Yun Che crawled very slowly. Every time he raised his arm, it was so difficult that it seemed as if he had to use up all the strength in his body, but he could only move a few inches. Every time, it seemed that he had reached his final limit, but he was always able to raise his arm again.
The world remained eerily quiet and still. An indescribable thing filled everyone's chest, spreading unspeakable sadness and discomfort.
They could all see that Yun Che was crawling towards the barrier that was blocking Jasmine.
When the threat disappeared and their minds calmed down, they suddenly remembered that the demon in front of them had never had any deep hatred with them. He came today just for Jasmine...
For the sake of their Star God Realm’s Heavenly Killing Star God.
For this... he was willing to stain Star God City with blood and bury everything he had.
Her biological father wanted her to die for his own sake.
And he was willing to die for her.
It was an extremely heart-wrenching and ironic contrast that made them extremely uncomfortable.
The belief that they had always held on to was fiercely touched by an invisible object at this moment, and it trembled silently in this touch... and it took a long time to stop.
Jasmine stared at Yun Che steadily, without shouting, without shedding tears, or even showing any expression. She just stared at him approaching little by little, not willing to let Yun Che leave her sight even for the slightest moment.
In this quiet world, the flow of time seemed to be extremely slow. The distance that was originally extremely far away and impossible to reach in everyone's eyes was gradually shortened like a miracle under his one arm and his unyielding will.
What was even more bizarre was that, during that long period of time, no one attacked Yun Che from beginning to end. I don't know if it was because they didn't dare to do so due to fear, or...
No one knew how much time had passed. No one noticed how much time had passed. As his vision blurred, Yun Che was already a hundred feet away from the barrier where Jasmine was. That arm that was so broken that it was unbearable to look at was still stretched out... grabbing the ground, bit by bit... ninety-nine feet... ninety feet... sixty feet... thirty feet...
Until it is just a few feet away.
Caizhi covered her lips tightly, trying not to make a sound. Yun Che, the man she either teased or called "brother-in-law" with joy, the man her sister forced her to marry in front of her mother's spirit tablet, he was so handsome and extraordinary, but... the man in front of her, his clothes were torn, every part of his body was stained with dried thick blood, his body was covered with torn wounds, his body was full of broken bones... There was not a single intact part, even a part that was slightly pleasing to the eye.
It is a thousand times more terrifying than the evil spirits from purgatory crawling out of a pool of blood.
"Brother...husband..." She whispered softly. She didn't know that there would be someone in this world who would be willing to do this for another person, for her sister...
He was the "idiot" that his sister kept talking about. There was no one in this world more idiotic than him...
Yun Che’s arm touched an icy barrier. His body finally stopped. He struggled to raise his arm and grabbed the barrier that was blocking him, hoping to tear it through...
Jasmine gently stretched out her hand, and her fair and delicate hand pressed together with the terrifying palm with exposed finger bones and stained with dry blood, through a layer of colorless and invisible barrier...but they could never touch each other.
“Jasmine…” Yun Che made a sound that was fainter than the buzz of a mosquito and hoarser than the friction of sandpaper. He could no longer see anything, but he could clearly feel that Jasmine was beside him: “I want… to let them… all… be buried with you… but… I… can’t… do it… anymore…”
"I...can't...do...anything..."
"..." Jasmine shook her head lightly: "It doesn't matter, having you by my side is enough."
He clearly could not hear any sound, but in his heart, Jasmine's words echoed, every word was extremely clear. He touched the barrier and clenched his hands little by little. The approach of death was more real than ever before: "Jasmine... If there is an afterlife... Will we... Meet again..."
“Yes.” Jasmine smiled and nodded very lightly but with great determination: “In the next life, no matter you are a human or a demon… a grass or a beast… I will definitely find you.”
“…” Yun Che’s mouth twitched slightly, as if he was smiling. However, the palm of his hand that was pressing on the barrier slowly slid down at this moment.
The voices of the two were as faint as residual smoke and mist, but all the gods present heard every word clearly. The star guards lowered their heads one after another, their minds unable to calm down. In the barrier, the Heavenly Demon Star God, the Sky Xuan Star God... they turned their heads away, feeling indescribable pain in their hearts.
He was clearly an intruder, he clearly disrupted the ceremony, he killed so many star guards, he even killed an elder...but they felt so clearly that they were the unforgivable sinners.
The abnormal change in the atmosphere caused the Star God Emperor’s expression to change continuously, and he finally roared, “What are you all doing… why don’t you kill him!!”
The wrath of the God Emperor was like countless thunders exploding in the minds of the Star Guards. The previously humiliated leader of the Tiangang Star Guards rushed out again… but this time, he still did not dare to get close. He grabbed the Star God Spear and threw it out in the flashing starlight.
The Star God Spear pierced through a hundred miles of space and hit Yun Che’s back directly. It passed through his body and pierced deeply into the ground below. The exploding starlight instantly shattered Yun Che’s body into dozens of cracks.
Yun Che did not struggle, nor did he groan in pain... He did not even feel anything. It was just that death was approaching, and it seemed to be getting closer.
“Ah…Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!!” Caizhi’s body hit the barrier heavily. She finally burst into tears. She cried incomparably sadly and desperately. She slapped the barrier with both hands desperately, but the suppressed power could not cause the slightest damage to the barrier.
"..." Jasmine was speechless and just looked at him silently.
After the attack was successful, Yun Che showed no reaction. The leader of the Tiangang Star Guards glared, completely relaxed, shouted, and rushed forward. The Star Guards behind him followed closely, and in an instant, countless spears, swords, and star rays rushed to lock onto Yun Che.
clang!
A flash of scarlet light passed by, and Hong'er appeared beside Yun Che. She threw herself on Yun Che and grabbed his arm. Before she could open her mouth, she burst into heart-wrenching tears: "Master...what's wrong with you...wu...wuwuwu...get up...get up..."
Hong'er was connected to Yun Che's soul. Normally, she was always happy and seemed to have no worries. But when she felt that Yun Che's soul was about to dissipate, she felt unprecedented sadness and fear and poured out all her tears.
Red...er...
Hurry...go...
Yun Che was no longer able to make a sound. This cry was his last thought.
However, the "contract" between him and Hong'er was a "soul-life shift" forced upon him by Jasmine, and he was unable to cancel it even if he wanted to.
His final soul sound lingered in Hong'er's heart and soul, and what he got was her even more heartbreaking crying: "Wuwawawa... No... Hong'er will not leave... Hong'er only wants the master... Wu... Master, please get up soon... Hong'er will definitely listen to you more in the future... I will never be greedy again, and I will never deliberately make the master angry again... Master... please get up soon..."
Brake!!
Another Star God Spear flew through the air and pierced through Yun Che’s body. The explosive force broke his body in pieces. The next moment, countless star rays blasted down crazily...
"host……"
Hong'er's final cries dissipated into the air. Amid the chaotic falling starlight, Yun Che's broken body, which had no strength left, was instantly shattered into countless pieces. Hong'er also disintegrated in the final scarlet light and disappeared between heaven and earth.
