Chapter 117 Demon Lord 117%
After the light dissipated, a long sword lay in the box.
There was a phoenix carved on the long sword, and the blade was sharp and thin with a cold glow, exactly the same as the Lian Chao that Chao Yuan had given her.
Qu Yaoyao suppressed her shock and asked in a trembling voice, "What's its name?"
Chao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Lian Chao."
【Let’s call it Lianchao. 】
The voice in her dream overlapped with the voice in her memory. Qu Yaoyao gradually lost sight of Lian Chao's appearance and continued to ask, choking with sobs, "Why... do you call it Lian Chao?"
"I want to gather the brightest light in the world."
Chao Yuan looked at her, his dark eyes reflecting her features clearly, and a smile crossed his face. His eyes were bright now. Even if their color wasn't the red gold of the rising sun, they were still dazzling and captivating, igniting with tiny sparks of light.
"You stay with me, and I stay with you. You are in me, and I am in you. We can be together forever."
【This is the true meaning of you in me and me in you. 】
Qu Yaoyao had never understood how the word "Lian Chao" reflected the meaning of "you in me and me in you", but at this moment she suddenly understood.
Gathering the lotus, facing the Chao, lotus is his light, and Chao also means Chao (chao) Chao; Gathering the lotus is light, facing the Chao is still light, you are in me, I am in you, we are entangled with each other and cannot be separated.
If you knew what Lian Chao was, you would know that I never intended to harm you.
——It turns out that Lian Chao is Chao Yuan’s wings.
If the phoenix loses its wings, it loses its life. Chao Yuan's pair of wings turned into the Jade Bone Fan and the Lian Chao Sword. He gave Lian Chao to her, which was his most important wings and half of his life.
He gave her his life, so how could he do anything to hurt her?
[Lian Chao is extremely fierce and hurts people the most cruelly. Don't use it on me in the future.] Qu Yaoyao couldn't help but think of Chao Yuan's expression when he said this to her.
At that time, he was still Xie Qingxun, and those few light words were too meaningless, and Qu Yaoyao did not understand the deep meaning behind his words.
Lian Chao is not the most cruel person who hurts others, but he hurts himself the most. She finally understood why Chong An wanted to use Lian Chao to kill Xie Qingxun. Killing someone means destroying their heart. Chong An destroyed his own heart.
"That's enough." Qu Yaoyao murmured, tears filling her eyes and dripping onto the ground.
Let your own light annihilate yourself.
She couldn't understand how there could be someone in this world who was so cruel to her. She was obviously covered in bruises and had experienced all kinds of heartache, but she was still merciless when hurting herself.
【I once… betrayed a small flower.】
What she wanted was simple: to stay by my side, to accompany me and protect me. But I was filled with hatred at the time, and I let her burn in the red lotus fire without even trying to hold her hand. She died in the fire, and vanished alone.
"I've hurt you so badly, I really don't have the face to continue pestering you, so I've devoted my entire life to reversing time and space in an attempt to save you, to prevent you from getting close to me again, and to force you to kill me with your own hands."
【Will you listen to my explanation?】
【I really... never intended to hurt you again. 】
She had previously refused to listen, but now she finally believed him. Chao Yuan had sacrificed her again, but he insisted that he had no intention of harming her. Qu Yaoyao thought she really needed to hear an explanation from Chao Yuan.
Swish——
When Qu Yaoyao bent down to take Lian Chao from the box, Lian Chao disappeared.
Just like last time, Xuanehua's dream did not allow Chao Yuan to get any redemption and dragged him into the next level of hell.
In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed, and Chao Yuan grew from a child of eleven or twelve years old to a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old.
The Phoenix Clan favored bright and beautiful colors, so he changed from white to a cool and elegant red. He still had no wings, so his body was still weak, but as a Golden-Feathered Divine Phoenix, Chao Yuan's bloodline was naturally superior to others. So even without wings, after awakening his Phoenix bloodline, he could learn magic faster than ordinary Phoenix Clan members.
After Hou Jin's death, Sang Ying no longer managed the clan affairs, and handed over full responsibility to the clan elders.
Chao Yuan was the crown prince, and was extremely intelligent and capable. His increasingly sharp and decisive style attracted the attention of Suzaku Elder Weng Bo, who was responsible for teaching him magic and became his master.
Weng Bo had high hopes for him, so he was very dedicated in teaching him magic. He wanted Chao Yuan to break Hou Jin's seal on the Phoenix Clan and to reach the top of the ancient world and stand at the highest point. Whenever this happened, Chao Yuan would meekly say "yes", and Weng Bo was very satisfied with it.
Everything looks great, right?
Qu Yaoyao was almost fooled by this seemingly calm appearance, until one day Uncle Weng suddenly decided to go into seclusion.
There are five tribes of phoenixes, and not every tribe can achieve nirvana. The Vermillion Bird is the closest to the Golden-Winged Divine Phoenix. Weng Bo has been practicing for ten thousand years. As long as he succeeds in nirvana this time, he can become the Golden-Winged Divine Phoenix with the same bloodline as Chao Yuan, and the combat power of the Phoenix tribe will be even stronger.
All members of the Phoenix Clan were looking forward to Weng Bo's successful Nirvana. On that day, Chao Yuan stood quietly under the Wutong tree, also waiting quietly.
The wind blew, and the leaves rustled. Chao Yuan raised his hand and caught a fallen leaf.
Qu Yaoyao was about to approach when a resounding phoenix cry was heard from a distance. Flames shot up into the sky, and a red lotus slowly blossomed in the flames.
Weng Bo's Nirvana was successful.
Chao Yuan raised his face.
When Weng Bo rushed out of the flames, before he could receive the worship of hundreds of birds, a jade bone fan pierced through his body, and the miserable cry of a phoenix resounded through the sky.
Chao Yuan, killed Weng Bo.
Chao Yuan had been patiently waiting for this moment for a hundred years. Before Weng Bo could experience the joy of nirvana, he landed on the ground and transformed into a human body. His expression was twisted and stiff, and he asked him, vomiting blood, "Why...why..."
Chao Yuan walked closer to him step by step, thought for a moment and replied: "You were there that day too."
Qu Yaoyao was stunned.
Maybe Weng Bo didn't understand what Chao Yuan meant, but she did.
That day, referring to the day Hou Jin had helped him escape from the torture chamber, had forced him to remember the faces before him, including Weng Bo. Over the centuries, Chao Yuan hadn't forgotten Hou Jin's words; it was precisely because he remembered everything that he had decided to kill him.
Are you saying that he doesn't appreciate the teachings of his mentor?
But Uncle Weng only taught him how to kill, and didn't tell him that he couldn't kill his master.
Rolling up his sleeves, Chao Yuan reached into Weng Bo's body and dug out his heart. Upon death, all members of the Phoenix clan would transform into a single object, but upon the death of the Golden-Winged Divine Phoenix, it would transform into Phoenix blood and tears. Within these tears and blood, one could see the life of the original owner, one event after another, both good and bad. Everything would emerge.
The Crown Prince's murder of Elder Wengbo shocked the Phoenix Clan. Even though Sang Ying didn't want to get involved, since it involved Chao Yuan, he had to intervene. But before he could do anything to Chao Yuan, Chao Yuan raised his bloodstained hand and handed the Phoenix Blood Tear to him.
Then--
The world lost its color.
Qu Yaoyao didn't know what Sang Ying had seen in the phoenix's tears and blood. She only knew that after receiving the bead, Sang Ying suddenly went mad. Flames ignited his body, transforming into a golden-feathered divine phoenix, attempting to crash through the barrier. Chao Yuan remained calm throughout, only looking up to ask, "Are you going to disobey your mother's last words?"
Just one sentence made Sang Ying stop struggling.
The former king, no longer as regal as he once was, was now filled with loneliness and gloom. Gently raising his hand to touch the ice crystal barrier that had trapped the Phoenix Clan for a century, he whispered, "I truly cannot do this."
"But you can."
Hou Jin transferred all the murderous restrictions that Sang Ying could not vent onto Chao Yuan. He was so crazy that he didn't care about anything, so he forced a young phoenix that was less than a thousand years old and had lost its wings to achieve nirvana.
After that day, the red lotus fire burned for a full eighty-one days. The sky was dyed red by the flames, and the phoenix cried and bled in extreme pain.
Sang Ying injected half of his own cultivation into Chao Yuan's body to help him grow wings again. On the day when the fire lotus bloomed again, a beautiful golden-feathered phoenix rushed out from the flames, flapping its huge wings and being worshipped by hundreds of birds.
Sang Ying looked up at him and ordered coldly, "Break the barrier."
"Go and kill all the dragons and destroy the demons."
"I want you to destroy this world!"
The dream that followed was completely out of Qu Yaoyao's control. She saw Chao Yuan kill the Dragon Lord, capture Wu Shao and torture him to death, and kill off the dragon clan bit by bit.
There were corpses everywhere, and the bloody dream became long and endless. After destroying the dragon clan, Chao Yuan pointed his sword at the demon world, and the first thing he did was to use Yiwei to sacrifice to the sword.
Yi Wei was a princess of the demon tribe. After Hou Jin's death, she was imprisoned in the deserted palace by Sang Ying. Now she was finally released, but she still met a tragic death. Before her death, Yi Wei kept looking behind Chao Yuan, where a black shadow stood.
"Don't stop." Sang Ying hid in the darkness.
He controlled Chao Yuan bit by bit, just like a puppet, "Go sit on the throne of the demon world and kill everyone."
"When you reach Nirvana again, I will make you a demon."
The blood on Chao Yuan's cheek dripped down his chin, and he said nothing.
After this, the name of Prince Difeng gradually became resounding in the ancient god world, and he became a demon god that everyone feared. This battle lasted for thousands of years, with the six realms in chaos, the sky and the earth collapsing, and countless gods perished during this period.
These records were not much different from those in the ancient scrolls, and only after seeing them with her own eyes did Qu Yaoyao realize that the truth was hidden beneath these words. Chao Yuan had indeed destroyed the dragon clan and razed the demon world, but the one who truly caused the chaos among the six realms and sought to destroy all living things was Sang Ying.
Chao Yuan did not become a demon voluntarily, he was completely controlled by Sang Ying.
The Golden-Winged Divine Phoenix will experience nirvana once every ten thousand years. During nirvana, it can choose to become a god or become a demon. Before and after nirvana, the Golden-Winged Divine Phoenix is at its weakest. Chao Yuan has long been tired of killing, so he chooses to sleep and recuperate. It was during this period that Sang Ying almost destroyed the six realms in his name. When he woke up, all the gods would unite to kill him.
None of this matters to Chao Yuan.
"He is the only one left." After waking up, Chao Yuan took out the jade bone fan and walked back to Lingze Fairyland.
He had killed all the people that Nian Jin wanted him to kill, and now the only one left alive was Sang Ying.
Chao Yuan was unsure if he could survive the imminent siege by the gods, so he had to kill Sang Ying before it happened. But when he returned to the Phoenix Clan, he saw a blazing fire, wailing everywhere, countless phoenix flowers blooming in the flames, phoenix pearls tumbling to the ground, and pieces of Vermillion Bird feathers falling from the sky.
"Your Highness, save me..."
"Your Highness, please save my mother and..."
They are all dead. The Phoenix Clan was surrounded and killed by the gods in advance.
Chao Yuan walked through the five tribes and finally stopped at the territory of the Suzaku. There, a little phoenix lay dying on the ground. It tried to grab Chao Yuan's clothes, but when Chao Yuan squatted and reached out to it, it turned into a red Suzaku feather.
"Everyone come quickly, there are Phoenix Clan here!"
"Kill them all, and these treasures will be ours."
A group of masked men entered the room. When Chao Yuan turned to look at them, they quickly retreated. Then, they began to flee. Qu Yaoyao heard them shout, "Prince Difeng has annihilated the Phoenix Clan!"
"The Phoenix Clan was killed by the Emperor Phoenix!"
It turns out that this is the truth.
The heaven and earth collapsed, and all the creatures in the six realms suffered heavy casualties. The gods all gathered their anger on Chao Yuan.
Chao Yuan only avenged himself, but he also bore the infamy for Sang Ying and that group of despicable human gods. Later, they joined forces to besiege him, and since they could not kill him, they trapped him forever in the Kunlun Mountain.
If he disappears, all these sins and truths can be covered up.
The smoke of war that had lasted for nearly ten thousand years finally came to an end with Chao Yuan being sealed away. Later generations of gods listed the crimes of the demon god as follows:
[The Demon God Chao Yuan is the body of the ancient golden phoenix. The golden-feathered phoenix is reborn into nirvana every ten thousand years, and the Demon God is reborn into a demon after a thousand years. He destroyed the dragon clan, killed all the phoenix bloodlines of the same clan, flattened the demon world and ascended to the supreme power, slaughtering thousands of gods.
Water and sky merged, the world collapsed and lost its color, the flames of war were endless, and they were sealed forever in the Kunlun Mountain, suppressed by the five ancient gods who turned into Kunlun Stone. This is the Chronicle of the God-annihilating War.
Ancient gods fell one after another. Qu Yaoyao saw Chao Yuan falling from a high altitude, with the icy Kunlun Lake behind him.
But, what did he do wrong?
Chao Yuan looked up at the dark red sky, sharp pieces of ice and snow scraped against his body, and heavy chains wrapped around him, pulling him down desperately.
Eternity was too long a word, so long that he had lost hope and was tired of waiting.
I'm being locked up in a cold, dark place again.
Chao Yuan closed his eyes and thought, his arms gradually falling down.
Suddenly, something hit him hard. He opened his eyes and saw a girl in white falling from a high altitude and falling on him. She grabbed his hand, and her lips opened and closed, and she only said one sentence to him.
She said—
"Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
Whether it was life or death, regardless of dreams or reality, this time, she stayed with him in the darkness.
Pop.
The shadow of a 鹓鶵花 appeared in the sky. Qu Yaoyao closed her eyes, feeling her body growing stiffer and stiffer. She buried her head in Chao Yuan's arms and whispered, "You still owe me an explanation."
If they can still get out alive.
She must listen to Chao Yuan's explanation.
