Chapter 1723 of Against the Gods: Blood-stained Heaven (V) *



Qi'er!"

“Qing Han!!”

“Ah~~~~!!”

The sky in the northern part of the Eastern Divine Region was filled with Zhou Xuzi’s heart-wrenching howl.

Like the desperate roar of a wild beast, like the painful howl of an evil ghost... anyone who heard this sound would never believe that it was made by the Eternal Heaven God Emperor.

Watching his own descendants being slaughtered in droves like lowly grass, all the nightmares in his life were not as cruel and desperate as this.

He seemed to be completely crazy, screaming and attacking Yan San in the projection... But from the constantly twisting and shattering projection, one could still hear Yan San's wild ghost laughter and the ghost claws that were waving out one after another.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi——

As Yan San waved his arms, the dark claw marks intertwined into a huge dark web.

Under the web of darkness, space was shattered into countless fragments, and living beings were shattered into blood mist that filled the sky.

Zhou Xuzi's body slowly stopped.

The blood blurred his eyes and turned into countless bloody blades that cruelly cut his heart and soul.

The whisk in his hand fell down weakly, falling straight down and hitting the cold ground below.

Tears streamed down his face.

Just less than two years ago, he cried bitterly because of Zhou Qingchen's death. He thought that nothing in this world could make him cry...

But this time, there were not only tears, but also blood... Tears mixed with blood flowed madly from his eye sockets, ears, nostrils, and mouth. The world before his eyes was sometimes pale, sometimes gray, and then began to turn over and spin, spinning faster and faster... faster and faster...

puff!

A large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth, exploding into a shocking blood mist in the air.

Then the whole person fell straight down from the air, like a lifeless rotten wood, and fell heavily to the ground.

Chi Wuyao walked over slowly and glanced at Zhou Xuzi, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood. This Eternal Heaven God Emperor, who had been revered by everyone for countless years, now had no trace of the divine light he usually had in his eyes, and only a turbid deathly grey color.

Her gaze lingered on him for a moment before she looked away. There was not even a trace of pity in her eyes, only a calm coldness. She whispered, “Does it hurt?”

"..." Zhou Xuzi supported himself on the ground with his arms. He raised his head tremblingly, his vision blurred by the blood, his face pale, like a dying man whose lifespan had run out.

He spoke, his hoarse voice dripping with blood: "You... devils!"

“Heh,” Chi Wuyao said with a faint smile, “Yes, we are indeed devils. When the world calls us devils, and blocks and slaughters us as devils, we can only become true devils.”

“And all this is not because of anything we have done, but simply because we are carrying the dark power, right?” She sneered coldly: “The righteous and selfless Eternal Heaven God Emperor.”

Zhou Xuzi grabbed the blood-stained whisk with his palm and slowly raised it. His gray eyes were stained with blood again... This time, it was a bloody color filled with tyranny: "You... dark demons... are all... devils who deserve to be exterminated by the way of heaven!"

His mental state had begun to become somewhat confused. He had never tolerated demons in the first place, but following Zhou Qingchen's tragic death and the bloodshed of the Zhoutian God Realm, his hatred for demons had penetrated into every ounce of his bone marrow and soul.

Chi Wuyao’s eyes were filled with sorrow as she smiled coldly, “Four years ago, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor returned to the world. She only needed to think, and all the living beings in the world would become slaves. She would then lure the devil gods into the world, and the millions of resentments accumulated in the outer chaos would be turned into the most miserable purgatory.”

"But, this emperor among demons chose to sacrifice himself and his entire clan for the sake of the people who were countless planes lower than her, and protected the entire world and the entire chaos."

"The Heavenly Killing Star God Jasmine, the demon transformed by the magic weapon, showed up resolutely despite being hunted down by you with all your might, and sealed the scarlet crack with the power of the evil infant."

“Yun Che, I can tell you about him. When he first set foot in the God Realm, he already possessed the profound power of darkness. In other words, he was a demon from the beginning to the end in the God Realm.”

“But… when you were kneeling and trembling before the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, he was the one who stood up and faced the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor alone. He even, somewhat ridiculously, took ‘saving the world’ as his mission that he had to accomplish.”

"It was also because of him that the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor chose to leave Chaos forever."

A strange black light silently condensed in Chi Wuyao’s black eyes, and she continued, “Who saved the world from that catastrophe? You, Zhou Xuzi, know better than anyone else in the world.”

“Devil Emperor, Evil Infant, Yun Che, they are demons, and the most extreme and pure demons in the world. But it was also they who saved countless lives in the God Realm and Primal Chaos, and they also allowed you to stay alive and curse us as demons with certainty!”

"..." Zhou Xuzi's throat trembled, making a sound that was not like a human voice.

The dark light in her eyes gradually deepened, and she continued: "The Devil Emperor, the Evil Infant, and Yun Che, they all used their own acts of saving the world to truly interpret what it means to have a holy heart that can save the world, and what it means to have a holy deed that can save the world for eternity."

“And you! You talk about righteousness and justice, but you slapped the Evil Infant who just saved your lives out of Primal Chaos, and forced Yun Che who just saved the world into death. You even led everyone to Yun Che’s hometown, causing him to lose everything overnight!”

“Heh,” Chi Wuyao sneered, “What a ridiculous righteous path. Zhou Xuzi, can’t you see how ugly your righteous path is?”

“When the Demon Emperor left, why did Long Bai, Nan Ming, and Qian Ye try so hard to kill Yun Che? Don’t you really understand?!”

“You have been leading the hunt for Yun Che all these years. Was it for your so-called righteous path, or was it to erase the ugly darkness in your heart that you never dared to touch or see clearly?!”

"Shut up... Shut up!" Zhou Xuzi suddenly screamed in the dead silence, and swung the whisk in his hand violently, but the force he exerted was chaotic.

Boom!

The ground cracked, and Chi Wuyao…only the hem of her skirt was slightly lifted up.

“Oh, there is one more important thing that I forgot to remind you of.” Chi Wuyao smiled lingeringly, her devilish voice gradually becoming ethereal: “In the past, Yun Che would have been unable to resist interfering and helping out even if he encountered an unrelated mortal being bullied.”

"Now, I can kill you, Zhoutian, without changing my expression."

"From a savior of the gods, in just a few years, he turned into a demon lord who wanted to bury the Eastern Divine Region with blood. Guess who forced him to become like this... who was it?"

Zhou Xuzi's body began to tremble, and his head began to shake in an extremely twisted manner as if the skull was broken.

In the sea of his heart, the twelve-word prophecy that had haunted him like a nightmare for years was ringing like the death knell of hell.

Amidst the endless chaos, Chi Wuyao’s devilish voice continued. Every word was so clear that it seemed to echo directly into the deepest part of his soul.

“Yun Che saved the Eastern Divine Region, saved the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, saved you, Zhou Xuzi, and saved all your family members and descendants.”

“And now, it’s raining blood in the Eastern Divine Region, and so many poor people have died without a burial place. The Eternal Heaven Divine Realm left by your ancestors is turning into ruins and bloody soil. Your people and your descendants are screaming and wailing, and their deaths are even more miserable and pitiful than those demons you have killed in your life…”

"Guess who gave birth to a demon that slaughtered the world? And who killed his own family members and all the spirits in the East Region?"

Bang!

The whisk in his hand fell again, and Zhou Xuzi's head shook more violently, his eyes turned gray and extremely scary: "No...no...don't say it...it's not me...it's not me...don't say it!"

However, no matter how his soul struggled, the evil voice that invaded his soul was still as clear as a nightmare: "Such a sin will make you a monument of shame, and you will be cursed for thousands of lifetimes and will never be able to redeem yourself."

"Your descendants... if you still have any, will inherit your shame and sins from generation to generation, be cursed by the world, and can only hide in dark corners for the rest of their lives, never able to raise their heads."

"When you go to hell, your ancestors will never forgive you. They will nail you to the most painful rack in purgatory with their own hands!"

"shut up!!!"

Zhou Xuzi suddenly jumped up, and with his hands full of chaotic profound energy, he grabbed Chi Wuyao’s neck.

Chi Wuyao did not move, and Zhou Xuzi's grab missed her and she fell heavily to the ground.

He did not stand up. His ten fingers dug into the cold ground, and he murmured tremblingly: "I am not wrong... I am not wrong! He is the devil who kills the world... He killed my son... Demons should not exist... Evil Infants should not exist... I did all this for the world... for the righteous path..."

"I'm not wrong... I'm not wrong... I'm not wrong..."

It was also at this moment that the dark light in Chi Wuyao’s pupils suddenly disappeared, and an invisible black shadow pierced through Zhou Xuzi’s soul.

Zhou Xuzi was unaware and had no reaction.

Chi Wuyao’s lips curled up slightly, and a strange cold light flashed in her eyes.

Zhou Xuzi's soul was much more fragile than she had expected. Perhaps, during the years that Yun Che had been in the Northern Territory, he had actually been suffering from some kind of mental torture that he was unwilling to face, or even unwilling to see clearly.

The projections in the air continued to show tragic scenes that were too painful to watch. Zhou Xuzi slammed his head against the ground, his mind spontaneously blocking his hearing and vision, and he wished he could faint. When he woke up, everything was just a nightmare.

Chi Wuyao slowly approached and stretched out her hand... At this moment, three pale rays of light suddenly shot out.

Chi Wuyao turned around and was already several miles away in an instant. And beside Zhou Xuzi, there were three more guardians who had returned.

"Master, go!"

With a loud and mournful roar, they took Zhou Xuzi with them and fled into the distance at full speed without even a moment's pause or hesitation.

Chi Wuyao did not chase after him, but quietly watched Zhou Xuzi being dragged away by the guardians.

Her pair of charming eyes were like an endless dark night shining with thousands of stars, and her lips were tilted up in a very strange smile.

"Che'er," she whispered softly, "I've said before that I will make everyone who hurts you and betrays you pay a thousand times the price."

"Death would be too easy for him. Just keep him and let him enjoy the rest of his life."

The soft and charming whispers are actually the cruelest devil curse in the world.

————

The fierce battle in the Eternal Heaven God Realm continues.

Yan San had already pounced on Venerable Taiyu. Taiyu, wounded and heartbroken, was easily suppressed by Yan San, and in the blink of an eye, his body was covered with wounds.

Qianye Ying'er was pushed out by Yan San's power.

What a joke! He, the great Yan Zu, had to join forces with others to deal with a mere guardian? How shameless!

Qianye Ying'er put away the oracle, walked to Yun Che's side, glanced at the projection array in the sky, and said, "How do you feel? Have you gotten rid of your hatred?"

“Revenge?” Yun Che chuckled coldly, “I am only taking back what I once gave them. But even if they die thousands of times, what they owe me and what I have lost can never be returned.”

"..." Qianye Ying'er's eyes became blurry as her mother's figure appeared before her eyes. She did not speak for a long time.

At this moment, Yun Che’s eyes flickered with a devilish light, and then, a profound sound transmission array flashed in front of him. He asked in a deep voice: “Has the Moon God Realm already dispatched?”

“No,” Huan Jin’s voice came from the sound transmission array: “There is good news. Shui Meiyin is no longer in the Moon God Realm. She may have quietly escaped a long time ago. The Moon God Realm’s forces were greatly dispersed not long ago because of the search for Shui Meiyin. It is almost impossible for them to gather back in a short period of time.”

“Really?” Yun Che narrowed his eyes and smiled grimly: “That’s really… great!”
