The Star-Moon twins' breakthrough experience had not really begun when they collapsed.
With Tian Gang Xingjun at his side, Yun Che did not dare to get too close. He walked out of the shadows, a sinister smile slowly appearing on his face.
"Why do you do this?" Li Suo asked.
Yun Che dispersed the abyss dust on his body and returned to the aura and state of an ordinary profound practitioner: “I am just creating an opportunity for one of them to come to the sea of fog alone.”
"Alone?" Li Suo denied it based on her knowledge of the Son of the Abyss: "As the person who carries the future of the Kingdom of God, his safety is more important than anything else. The Son of God cannot be alone outside, let alone in the sea of fog."
“He will.” Yun Che said with great confidence: “Given the time it takes them to return to the Star-Moon Divine Country from here, the Abyss Corrosion I planted will be enough to deeply penetrate the Profound Veins. By then, even the two great Gods of Star and Moon will not be able to perfectly dispel it without damaging the Profound Veins.”
"You mean..." Li Suo seemed to understand: "Forcing him to come to the Mist Sea to find the legendary Mist Emperor who can perfectly remove the Abyss Corrosion?"
"right."
However, Yun Che's response failed to convince Li Suo. She thought for a moment and whispered, "The Mist Emperor is still too mysterious and ethereal in the eyes of the world. The only thing that can be known for sure is the opposition between the Mist Emperor and the Pure Land... After all, your contempt and slander towards the Pure Land and the Abyss Emperor that day should be known to the world now."
“The six great divine kingdoms exist because of the Abyss Emperor, and they are able to inherit because of the divine power bestowed by the Abyss Emperor. Although the Abyss Corrosion suffered by the Star God Son must injure his profound veins before it can be completely eliminated, with the power of the two true gods, even if it is a permanent injury, it will not be too serious.”
"So, I don't think that a son of God from the Kingdom of God would choose to betray the Pure Land because of this... Besides, looking for the Mist Emperor is an illusory thing in the first place."
Yun Che smiled and said calmly: “If it was a son of a god from another divine kingdom, your words would be completely true. But only for the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom…”
Li Suo: “……?”
“Let me ask you a question.” Yun Che suddenly said, “A multiple-choice question.”
"A person cannot accept the following situations: first, a person who is worse than him suddenly reaches a height that he cannot reach; second, a person who has always been on par with him gradually surpasses him; third, a person who was originally inferior to him gradually becomes superior to him."
“The third one.” Just as Yun Che finished speaking, Li Suo gave his answer.
“It’s a very human answer.” Yun Che said, “But for Shaxing and Xianyue, the answer is the second one.”
"Why?"
Yun Che looked ahead, a complex expression flashed across his eyes for a moment: “If I had faced this question many years ago, I would have definitely given the same answer as you. Until… when I first entered the God Realm, I had a friend for a short period of time.”
"His name is Huo Poyun."
Li Suo knew Huo Poyun. At that time, with the help of Yun Che's eyes, she witnessed with her own eyes the tragic and resolute way in which he died... but she could not understand the words he shouted at that time.
"Huo Poyun cried for the news of my death, hated my return, saved my life when I was the enemy of the world, wanted to die by my hands when I was the devil... In the end, he died in my despair."
I didn't elaborate on Huo Poyun's complex feelings towards him, because Li Su would definitely not understand if I did: "All his actions were never within my expectations, and all his weird behaviors were due to the word 'imbalance'."
"As for Shaxing and Xianyue, from the coordination of their power just now, we can know how terrifying their compatibility has reached. And if they become 'unbalanced'... the 'inner demon' that is triggered will definitely be far stronger than Huo Poyun."
Li Suo did not respond for a long time, as if she was re-examining her understanding of human nature through Yun Che's words.
"I am also looking forward to the evil flower that will bloom from this seed. Son of the Star God who carries the power of the Sirius God, you who possess the dignity and pride of the Son of God, please do not let me down."
When I came out of the deep fog again, there was a fierce battle ahead.
Pan Buwang was surrounded by black air, but the dirty blood that covered his body was even thicker than the dark demonic energy, and the violent and murderous light in his pupils was even more ferocious and soul-piercing than the deep eyes of the abyss beast.
A dark storm suddenly arose, devouring the abyss power of the two God-Destroying Abyss Beasts layer by layer, and then their bodies... Pan Buwang let out a low roar, and the pitch-black gun body drew a black mark that lingered in the air and pierced through the two Abyss Beasts in an instant. The black mark then burst into heavy dark storms, completely dragging the severed Abyss Beasts into the abyss of death.
He slowly placed the gun in his hand on the ground. Pan Buwang was already half-kneeling on the ground, bowing his head and saying, "Disciple Buwang respectfully welcomes Master."
Beep... beep...
The sound of blood falling to the ground was extremely clear in the silent sea of fog.
But his face was expressionless, and he did not even glance at his own blood. Even though his whole body was exhausted, his half-kneeling body remained straight and motionless.
"Very good." The Mist Emperor gave a brief compliment: "It seems that you have already mastered the fourth realm after the alienation. The obsession with revenge is indeed the most magical power in this world."
"Today, this emperor will grant you the fifth level of alienation."
Pan Buwang raised his eyes, and the fatigue in his eyes instantly turned into a magical light of excitement and desire. He bowed and thanked him profusely, and suddenly said: "Master, may I have the honor... to see your true face?"
“True face? Hahaha!” The Mist Emperor sneered, “I am the Emperor’s spirit bred by the abyssal power of the Mist Sea. I don’t have what you humans call a true face. Or maybe, every grain of abyssal dust in this Mist Sea is my true face.”
“No,” Pan Buwang looked at the alien eyes twisting in the abyss of mist: “Disciple knows that Master is actually a human.”
Mist Emperor: “…”
Pan Buwang remained kneeling and said calmly, "The magic skill I have cultivated is already the most powerful dark magic skill in the world. And Master, you only need to watch me demonstrate it once and repeat a piece of the profound formula, and you can transform it into an even more powerful magic skill in just a few days."
"Moreover, the transformed magic skills are more compatible with my body and my profound veins. At the same time, in order to maximize the power of the magic skills, each transformed magic skill will perfectly mobilize all fifty-four profound gates in the profound veins when it is performed."
"When Master transformed his magic, he must have first coordinated and transformed it with his own profound veins... and the fifty-four profound gates belong only to the human race. The power of the beast race, the spirit race and the human race is completely different. If Master did not possess the fifty-four profound gates, how could he have transformed the magic of each realm to such a perfect match with the fifty-four profound gates?"
“…” Yun Che took a deep breath.
This can also be a flaw...
There were a few moments when he wanted to kill and silence the witness.
“Hehehe!” Wu Huang sneered. He did not deny it, but his already hoarse voice suddenly became several times colder: “Pan Buwang, you are smarter than I thought. But since you are so smart, you should know when to play dumb.”
In a trance... he remembered that his master once said the same thing to him.
"Disciple will naturally know."
Facing the sudden chill, Pan Buwang showed no fear, but looked up to the Mist Emperor's Eyes and said, "Without Master's rescue, even if I am not dead now, I would be no different from a living dead."
"My mother taught me that as a man, I must not betray my feelings or forget my gratitude... My master has saved and reborn me. His kindness is as great as that of a reincarnated parent. How can I be false in front of my master?"
When facing the abyss beasts, his eyes were full of ferocity; when facing the darkness, his eyes were like the abyss of death; but when facing the Mist Emperor, his eyes were as clear as a human being... a clarity that was almost free of any impurities.
He is indeed a passionate man, otherwise, how could he do so for his mother and lover.
He said sincerely: "I really want to know what kind of person the master who has shown me kindness and taught me is... This is my greatest desire besides revenge."
He did not say that he would never reveal his true identity under the Deep Mist. But every word, every expression and change in his eyes told Wu Huang that even if he died, he would never betray his master in the slightest.
The cold wind blew, carrying with it a pungent smell of blood.
The Mist King responded: "You will know. By then, you may have completed your revenge."
"This emperor will allow you this once today. Don't say the same thing again! Don't forget what you should do most!"
Pan Buwang bowed his head and answered without any resistance: "Yes."
He slowly stood up from the ground, the spear returned to his hand, shining with black light again. He was covered with scars and blood, but he did not ask to rest for a while, but looked at Wu Huang with a burning gaze: "Master, please teach me!"
…
Time rolls around under the senseless black tide, it rolls up vicissitudes, promotes growth, heals wounds, cleanses the soul...but it tortures the Son of Star God.
Sha Xing's palm was tightly grasping his heart again. Six months had passed, and when he activated his profound strength, the pain brought by the Abyss Eclipse was still as piercing as ever.
What was even more terrifying than the severe pain was the obstruction of his profound energy circulation and the almost complete stagnation of his profound strength progress.
And today, an exciting news spread throughout the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom.
The Moon God's son, Xianyue, successfully broke through to the fourth level of the Divine Destruction Realm this morning.
Every breakthrough of the Star-Moon God Son was a major event that would surely shake the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom. But this time was very different from the past... because this time it was not the two God Sons who broke through at the same time, but only the Moon God Son broke through.
When the news came, Sha Xing had a smile on his face but blood was oozing from between his fingers.
He came to the Star God Temple where the Heavenly Star God resided, but met the Tiangang Star Lord who had just walked out.
He saw through Sha Xing's thoughts at a glance, and sighed, "If you want the God to help you break the Abyss Eclipse, I won't stop you. If you still have fantasies... it's better not to disturb the God. It's been half a year, you should face the reality."
"Reality..." Sha Xing gritted his teeth and said, "The God is so powerful, there must be a way, there must be..."
Tian Gang Xingjun glanced at him and said, "For your sake, His Majesty has sent messages to the immortal priests several times and even went to the Pure Land in person. You already know the result. Your Majesty's power is endless, but when it comes to the abyss erosion that invades the profound veins... no one can solve it."
He reached out and patted Shaxing's shoulder. "In order to seal off the invading Abyss Eclipse and prevent it from getting worse, Your Excellency has already spent countless efforts and Abyss Crystals for the past six months. If you continue to drag it on like this, you will never get the turnaround you desire. It will only increase unnecessary consumption... You should know that many Star Lords and Star Officials are dissatisfied with you because of this matter."
Sha Xing's lips trembled slightly, and he immediately lowered his head, not wanting anyone to see that he was out of control.
Tian Gang Xingjun continued to persuade: "Cutting off the tail to survive is not cowardice, but a helpless and necessary act. Moreover, the Lord said that with the combined power of the two Lords, when the Abyss Corrosion is forcibly removed, the permanent damage to your Xuanmai can be controlled within 10%."
"One...completed...haha." He muttered softly, followed by a low laugh of self-mockery and pain.
One percent of his profound veins were permanently damaged, which meant that his cultivation, progress, the operation of his profound energy, and the upper limit he could reach in the future...all would be lost, and it would be a permanent loss.
As one of the Star and Moon Geminis who are supposed to be in harmony and balance, he will forever... forever be a burden to the Crescent Moon.
Without setting foot on the Star God Temple, Sha Xing turned around and whispered, "I understand. I will consider this matter carefully and will not continue to embarrass the God and the Star Lords."
"Yes." Tian Gang Xingjun nodded and said nothing more. As the person who secretly protected the two of them during their training, he had always felt deeply guilty.
