Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Ji Feng's miserable screams echoed continuously over the Ninth Eternal Pass City.

Yu had long since discarded any semblance of former affection for him.

With each slice, she carved away the flesh from his body, causing him immense torment.

During this process, the ancestors of the Yu and Lanqin clans intervened several times to prolong Ji Feng's life, regenerating his flesh so that Yu could continue the slow slicing execution for an extended period.

Within the Black Ji clan, the entire clan, from top to bottom, felt their scalps tingle, their hearts filled with fear, barely daring to breathe as they listened to Ji Feng's screams.

Meanwhile, within the original battlefield, those ancient ancestors of the Black Ji and Muyang clans who had been captured by Jun Wuxie were all impaled in the void of the high heavens.

Golden spears pierced through the center of their brows, killing their souls, and pinning their corpses in the sky.

Fresh red blood flowed down the golden spears before dripping down.

Throughout the entire process, the mysterious expert hidden deep within the Black Ji clan did not react in any way.

This was also within Jun Wuxie's expectations.

He had not intended to provoke that person to take action.

The Black Ji and Muyang clans were merely tools for him to use.

Including those young masters from beyond the realm.

Their purpose was to use the Black Ji clan to enter the Ultimate Secret Realm.

Today, although he had killed many ancient ancestors of the Black Ji clan, within the deepest forbidden ground of the Black Ji clan, there were still several semi-divine level auras.

Clearly, the Black Ji clan still had ancient ancestor-level experts who had not appeared.

As long as those few ancient ancestors were present, they could fully satisfy the purpose of the four young masters from beyond the realm.

As for the mysterious expert hiding in the forbidden ground of the Black Ji clan, he was probably harboring the same intentions as the young masters from beyond the realm.

If not, he would not have remained dormant and should have taken action long ago.

Presumably, he also felt that it was not secure enough, which was why he did not react at all.

Inside the city, people emerged from their houses one after another.

The battle was over, so there was no need to hide indoors.

In the beginning, they were worried that the change in the Eternal Pass would impact the ancient order of the Eternal Pass, affecting everyone.

Now, the problems they were worried about had not occurred.

The Eternal Pass had indeed changed.

The three guardian clans had become two guardian clans.

Although the Black Ji clan had not been exterminated, a large number of ancient ancestor-level experts had died.

They had lost the qualifications of a guardian clan and could no longer have any say.

Having the Yu and Lanqin clans continue to manage the Eternal Pass was more reassuring than before.

Yu's slow slicing execution of Ji Feng lasted for an entire day and night.

It was not until the next morning, when the hatred in her heart had been completely vented and she felt it was meaningless, that she completely killed Ji Feng, who could no longer even speak.

Afterwards, everyone from the three major forces followed Jun Wuxie to the Yu clan.

In the other courtyard that the Yu clan had prepared for him, Jun Wuxie sat by the stone table under a tree in the courtyard.

The people from the three major clans stood respectfully before him.

"Yu, Qin, kneel and thank the Divine Monarch for his grace!"

Yu and Qin walked out from the crowd and knelt before him, kowtowing deeply.

"Rise, you don't need to be like this."

Jun Wuxie casually released a little bit of blood energy, lifting them up.

Then, he shifted his gaze from Yu's body to Qin's face, and said, "I couldn't quite understand the choice you made back then.

Of course, you had your difficulties.

Now that Yu and you have reconciled, I won't say much.

I only hope that if you encounter such a situation again in the future, don't let him down again.

"While it is the duty of children to sacrifice for their family and loved ones, they should also have their own bottom line and principles."

"Divine Monarch, Qin she…"

Yu was about to speak for Qin, but an ancestor of the Yu clan immediately shouted sternly, "Shut up, how can you interrupt when the Divine Monarch is teaching Qin!"

"Qin knows her mistake, feels extremely remorseful, and will definitely remember the Divine Monarch's teachings, and will never let Yu down again in this life."

"Well, I wish you happiness."

Jun Wuxie nodded, a smile on his face, no longer so serious.

"Thank you, Divine Monarch."

Qin touched her lower abdomen, then looked at Yu with affection, interlocking her fingers with his.

"The matter of the Eternal Pass is not yet over, there are powerful experts lurking within the Black Ji clan.

This is also the reason why I didn't destroy the Black Ji clan today.

That expert didn't take action, presumably because he felt that he didn't have the absolute certainty to kill me.

I will use his mentality and wait until the Ultimate Secret Realm to deal with that person and the young masters from beyond the realm.

After the Ultimate Secret Realm is over, the Eternal Pass cannot stay temporarily.

You must prepare in advance, and move all the continents of the entire Eternal Pass to the vicinity of the Canglan Star Region.

Before the arrival of the apocalypse, all forces must be united, and the distance between each other should not be too far, so that they can support each other at any time."

"Yes, we will listen to the Divine Monarch's instructions!

However, if those divine-level creatures in the depths of the mountains outside the Eternal Pass City disagree…"

"Then you can tell them, whoever disagrees can come directly to me."

"Yes."

The experts of the three major forces nodded.

With the Divine Monarch's words, who would dare to disagree?

In this battle, those people outside the mountains must have seen it all.

"If the vast Eternal Pass is to be moved, there will be many trivial matters.

In the past, the Eternal Pass was managed by the three major clans.

Now, with the Black Ji clan withdrawing from the ranks of guardian clans, the vacant position will be filled by the Hengqi Sect.

From today onwards, the Hengqi Sect will be one of the three major guardian forces of the Eternal Pass.

You should find a time to go to each Eternal Pass City as soon as possible and take over the control from the people of the Black Ji clan."

"The Divine Monarch is right, the Black Ji clan still controls the talisman seal bestowed by the will of the Heavenly Dao, which can control the Eternal Pass formation."

"The Hengqi Sect thanks the Divine Monarch!

However, the guardian forces were originally appointed by the will of the Heavenly Dao, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for our Hengqi Sect to gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao."

"You don't need to worry about this, if I approve, the Heavenly Dao will naturally approve."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked.

What did the Divine Monarch mean?

Could it be that there is a connection between the Divine Monarch and the Heavenly Dao?

Otherwise, why would the Divine Monarch say such a thing?

"Go, there are many things to do now, and the Ultimate Secret Realm is about to open, you should go and prepare."

"Yes, we will withdraw, if the Divine Monarch has any instructions, summon your subordinates at any time!"

They bowed deeply and then withdrew from the courtyard.

"The Eternal Road is finally coming to an end, this journey has exceeded my expectations.

Nine cities, nine ancient starry sky roads, a large number of secret realms, with many gains.

Having been away for so many years, I wonder how the current Liming Dynasty is developing, I miss them a little."

Jun Wuxie muttered to himself, then took out a jar of wine, opened the seal, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

He sniffed it intoxicated, the fragrance was refreshing.

"Yao'er's peach blossom wine, it has been a long time since I tasted it."

He suddenly felt a little unaccustomed, during this time, Yue Yao had been by his side, whether day or night.

Now, Yao'er is cultivating in the Eight Nine Profound Palace, Lingfei, Wanwan and others are also cultivating.

Only he is alone in this courtyard.

"Does the young master also feel lonely?"

Just as he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart, a knowledgeable and gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ear, as beautiful as heavenly music, making people feel as if a warm current was flowing through their hearts.

At the same time, a flash of golden-red light appeared in front of him, and a vermilion bird in golden-red feather clothes appeared before him.

"Aunt You?"

Jun Wuxie was first stunned, then smiled, "Aunt You, why did you come out?"

"I was a little bored in the Town Universe Tower, so I came out to get some fresh air and see the young master by the way."

The vermilion bird's peerless immortal face with its captivating beauty had a shallow and gentle smile.

She sat down on the jade stone stool beside Jun Wuxie.

"The young master is different now than before."

The vermilion bird stared at him with her beautiful golden eyes, speaking with considerable emotion.

"How is it different?"

"More stable, more mature than before."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Having awakened the memories of my previous life, my mentality will naturally change."

"No, what Aunt You is talking about is not this. The memories of the previous life certainly have a certain reason, but after all, the young master's will is still dominated by the will of this life.

The memories of the previous life are nothing more than a large amount of information injected into the sea of consciousness for the young master.

The main thing is the temperament produced by these things that the young master has experienced along the way, which has settled in the young master's heart."

"Is Aunt You praising me?"

Jun Wuxie laughed.

"The young master is so excellent, shouldn't Aunt You praise you, naturally she should."

The vermilion bird smiled like a flower, more brilliantly than ever.

This was the first time Jun Wuxie had seen such a brilliant smile on her face.

"Well, actually Aunt You came out to tell the young master something.

Aunt You and Qingxue vaguely sensed the aura of Innate Divine Gold.

It is likely to be in the Ultimate Secret Realm that the young master is going to.

Innate Divine Gold is self-effacing, and it is very difficult to find.

The young master has already found three kinds of Innate Divine Gold, and the Town Universe Tower has been repaired to three levels because of this.

I didn't expect that this Ninth Eternal Pass also has Innate Divine Gold.

If we can find it, we can repair the fourth level of the Town Universe Tower, and Qingxue's connection with the tower will be weakened again."

"Since there is Innate Divine Gold in the Ultimate Secret Realm, I will definitely find it.

How is Qingxue now, my realm is low, even if my vision is high, I can't judge the state of a Heavenly Emperor.

In the battle with the dark ancestor's phantom in the Broken True Realm, Qingxue suffered great losses.

For her, whose condition was already not good and whose power was severely depleted, it was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

To this day, has Qingxue recovered to her previous state?"

“Young Master, rest assured, Qingxue is doing very well now. The consumption from back then has almost completely recovered.

In addition, Young Master found three types of innate divine metals, repairing three levels of the Town Universe Pagoda, which has greatly reduced Qingxue's consumption in maintaining the Town Universe Pagoda.

Her current state is much better than when you first met her.”

“That’s good.”

“Young Master cares about Qingxue, why not ask her about her physical condition yourself?”

“Ask her? If she’s truly well, she’ll tell me the truth, but if she hasn’t recovered, she probably won’t tell me the truth either.

I’m just a minor cultivator in the demigod realm, while she’s a powerhouse in the Heavenly Emperor domain.

She’s no longer the little Nannan who wanted me to hold her every day and follow me around all the time.”

Upon hearing this, Suzaku couldn't help but smile and said, “Young Master, thinking like that is wrong. In your previous life, you were at the peak of the Dao-less domain. It’s too humble of you to say that.

Even though Young Master's realm is still low in this life, at least in Aunt You's heart, Young Master is not a minor cultivator, but a great legendary man with a future of stepping onto the path of ultimate transcendence!”

“I didn’t expect Aunt You to have such a high evaluation and expectation of me.”

He responded with a smile.

“Of course, so Young Master, don’t have such thoughts again. Qingxue must also think so in her heart.

If Young Master often goes to see her, she will be very happy.

Young Master knows Qingxue’s personality.

She clearly wants it in her heart, but she just won’t say it.”

“Aunt You, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever miss him?”

A clear and indifferent voice suddenly rang out, and Ye Qingxue's figure appeared before their eyes.

Dressed in white, whiter than snow, her ink-black hair cascaded down to her waist, fluttering in the wind.

She stood there, her clothes fluttering, her hair flying, with jade-like bones and a celestial appearance.

Her beautiful eyes were crystalline and clear, yet seemed to contain an endless universe, causing one to get lost.

“You dare say you don’t miss me?”

Jun Wuxie reached out and pulled, and Ye Qingxue lost her balance, falling into his arms and being embraced by him.

“Let go, aren't you afraid that my Heavenly Emperor power will be uncontrollable and shatter you into nothingness?”

She looked at him with cold eyes.

“Aunt You, look, she even wants to murder her husband. Do you think she should be punished?”

Jun Wuxie chuckled, ignoring her threat.

If a dignified Heavenly Emperor wasn't willing, how could he have pulled her into his arms to sit?

She clearly wanted it in her heart, but she just had to be contrary.

This was different from the little Nannan back then.

However, he quite liked her arrogant appearance of saying one thing and meaning another.

“Then Aunt You won’t disturb your alone time.”

Suzaku smiled lightly and then disappeared.

“Let go of me, did you hear?”

Ye Qingxue's eyes carried a threat.

Jun Wuxie met her gaze and said, “What, do you really want to murder your husband?

Alright, come on.

If I die, little Nannan will have to caress the mask and wash her face with tears every day.”

“You——”

Ye Qingxue didn't expect him to say that.

Also, when did he become so shameless?

Looking into his eyes, her struggle slowly ceased.

“I really can’t do anything with you.”

Ye Qingxue sighed, her pair of crystalline jade-like hands gently stroking his face, her eyes trembling slightly as she murmured, “You bullied me back then, and you’re still bullying me now.”

“Qingxue, can’t you still get over what happened back then?”

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but sigh, he of course knew that the bullying she was talking about referred to the matter of leaving her behind.

“You simply don’t know how sad and scared I was back then.

At that time, you were my whole world.

Your departure made me experience the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world.

You aren’t me, you wouldn’t understand.”

Jun Wuxie frowned upon hearing this.

He suddenly realized that Ye Qingxue had a very deep knot in her heart.

Having such an obsession and a difficult-to-untie knot in her heart is very serious for a powerhouse in the Heavenly Emperor domain.

It means that her state of mind will inevitably affect her cultivation in the future.

With such a knot in her heart, how will she be able to break through the shackles of the Dao-less domain in the future?
