During the all-out war between immortals and demons, Yun Nian, in alliance with other immortals, colluded with the demons to betray Yun Zhiqi and Naifulian. Naifulian wiped out the immortals, completing the first step of her revenge. Now, Yun Zhiqi is also preparing for the next step of revenge.
With a flap of her white wings, Yun Zhiqi instantly appeared in the center of the Demon Emperor City. She pointed her sword at the sky and activated the power of the River of Time within her body.
In an instant, a circular shield formed by the power of time covered the vast Demon Emperor City, and the city, which housed hundreds of millions of demons, fell into a state of stillness.
Yun Zhiqi stroked the Spring and Autumn Sword with her left-hand sword finger, channeling her immortal power into the sword. She raised the sword above her head, and the ice-blue longsword unleashed a powerful aura.
"Chaotic Cloud Sea." Yun Zhiqi spoke calmly, and then unleashed this sword strike.
Nephren looked down and saw that the Demon Emperor City, which was large enough to hold hundreds of millions of demons, had lost a corner after a huge explosion, and now only three-quarters of it remained.
"Looks like they haven't regressed." Nephren chuckled, raising her eyes to look at the ten Demon Kings and the Demon King army behind them.
"In order to have a life-or-death duel with her sooner, you all have to die now."
As soon as the words were spoken, the demon kings were so frightened that they all retreated.
The demon army behind the Second Demon Dynasty shouted, "Charge! Charge! Kill her!!!"
War drums sounded in the Demon King's army, and the cavalry at the forefront rode winged magical beasts toward Nephren.
Nephren couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You call this ninth rank? You've lived so long, you've all gone to hell. Do you think these shrimp soldiers and crab generals can stop me?"
"It seems you've forgotten my imperial might! You're all going to die!!"
Nephren held the Winter and Summer Sword in her right hand. Sensing her master's surging killing intent, the black longsword was gradually enveloped in red light. Nephren unleashed a horizontal slash, a casual strike that instantly annihilated the cavalry charging towards her.
The cavalry made up two-fifths of the Demon King's army.
This unbelievable scene stunned the Demon King's army, who were preparing to continue their attack. They all remembered the legend of the Demon Emperor Nephren.
The legends weren't false after all; the Demon Emperor Nephren truly possessed the power to suppress the entire Demon Realm!
In the demon realm, strength is revered. The ten demon kings are of similar strength and restrain each other, so no one has ever claimed the title of emperor until Nephren appeared and defeated the ten demon kings, thus declaring herself emperor.
The Demon King's army was routed and tried to escape in different directions, but Nephren would not let them go. With a single sword strike, she wiped out the entire Demon King's army. The continuous screams echoed the explosions below, where Cloud's Cry destroyed another quarter of the Demon Emperor's city.
Besides Mor, the other demon lords also tried to escape, but one by one they died under Nephren's demonic sword.
In the end, only Moel remained. Nephren used the tip of her sword to lift Moel's face and found a hint of regret in his eyes.
"Moll, do you regret it?" Even though she already knew the answer, Nephren still wanted to hear her subordinate's response.
Mo'er nodded, gave a sad smile, and said, "If it weren't for the Demon Emperor's support back then, I would probably still be at the bottom of the Demon King hierarchy. I have repaid such a great favor with enmity. Mo'er has made a mistake and betrayed the Demon Emperor's trust."
Nephren smiled and beheaded Mor with a single sword stroke.
"It's good that you admit your mistake."
The floating Demon Emperor City instantly turned into ruins and scattered throughout the world, just like the ten immortal cities.
Cloud's Cry flew down to Nephren's side. The two remained silent, staring blankly at the scattered debris below.
Hatred had sustained them to this point, but now that their revenge was finally achieved, they felt a profound emptiness.
From now on, there will be no more Immortal Realm or Demon Realm in the world. The Demon Realm that broke through the barrier will eventually be swallowed up by the turbulent currents of the Realm Sea, and the Demon Realm will also be destroyed by the Black Phoenix in the official history. Now, only the Human Realm and the Ghost Realm remain of the Five Realms.
Apart from Xia Qianzhen, Yun Zhiqi and Naifulian are the last immortal and demon in this world.
This feeling of loneliness is indescribable.
The four people and two demons, including Shao Shenyun, were surrounded by darkness as they entered the void passage. The other end of the passage led to an endless road of darkness.
Shao Shenyun used the power of chaos to protect Su Qing and the others behind her. The leaked chaotic energy was like a key that unlocked the void, and the path of darkness slowly receded, replaced by a new darkness.
But in the darkness there was a patch of fiery red, and Tu Keke opened her mouth wide and pointed at that patch of fiery red.
"It's my uncle!!"
Amidst the fiery red landscape stands a fiery red maple tree, beneath which sits a red-haired man, his long hair flowing down his back, leaving them with a solitary silhouette.
When Shao Shenyun and the others approached, they found that Yanluo's eyes were closed, as if she were asleep. Tu Yier got down from Su Qing's arms and ran over to hug Yanluo.
He kept calling out "Uncle," but Yanluo didn't move an inch, as if he were an old monk in deep meditation, ignoring worldly affairs.
Su Qing and Tu Keke looked anxiously at Shao Shenyun. Shao Shenyun approached and examined Yan Luo's condition, then explained, "He is resisting the erosion of chaos."
That night, when Yun Zhiqi and Tu Yier reached a consensus, Yan Luo, alone in the void, was violently eroded by chaos. Yan Luo was already mentally fragile, and even seeing Fifth Spring Autumn did not help him recover much.
Therefore, it was dragged into the memories of the past by Chaos, and tried to defeat Yanluo with painful memories, so as to turn against and replace Yanluo.
Yan Luo is not so bad after all; he is now doing his best to resist the erosion of chaos.
One day when she was four years old, Yanluo, held in her older sister Yanli's arms, stood at the door, watching her parents drive away. Yanfei and Xuanyuan Xier were going to the Yangcheng Research Institute to attend an important meeting and would probably not be back for about a week.
A week later, the parents called the grandfather to say they were on their way back and had brought gifts for the siblings, but an accident occurred en route, resulting in a fatal car crash.
This was the first loss in Yanluo's life.
One night when Yanluo was six years old, he got up to go to the bathroom and found that his grandfather was missing. Frightened, he ran to his sister's room and slept with her. When he woke up the next day, his grandfather had already prepared breakfast for the two siblings.
Grandpa still had a kind face, but there was always a weariness in his eyes, as if he was enduring great pain. After that, Grandpa's health deteriorated.
They went to a major hospital in Guangzhou for a checkup, but nothing could be found. However, Yan Wuxie visibly continued to weaken until he could no longer eat even a sip of porridge. He would vomit it up as soon as he ate it and eventually died in pain and hunger.
This is the second loss in Yanluo's life.
One autumn evening when she was fifteen, under Su Tian's threat, Yan Luo hardened her heart and hurt Su Qing, hurting the girl who loved her deeply and losing her in the process.
During a mission when she was eighteen, Yanluo lost her beloved master and teammates.
During the summer vacation when he was 21, he lost his only sister and his brother-in-law.
The five losses in his life haunted him like an inescapable nightmare, consuming him relentlessly.
Yanluo was caught in a cycle of falling into depravity and awakening amidst painful memories.
