Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie, holding Chu Yudie's hand, activated the Primordial Runes on his body. Using the rune array that briefly concealed the stone tower's array perception, the two of them rapidly descended from the tower's peak and vanished.

In an instant, they arrived inside the stone tower.

An indescribable aura of darkness, eeriness, bloodlust, violence, and other terrifying sensations swept over them like a mountain flood.

The surrounding space was a void of darkness, and nothing could be seen. Only that terrifying, absolute darkness raged.

Chu Yudie's mind and body were greatly shaken. She felt as if a terrifying, evil will was frantically trying to drill into her sea of consciousness.

Even though she had prepared herself, she still felt a sharp pain in her sea of consciousness, as if it was about to be breached.

A large amount of strange things, like countless threads, entered her body, corroding her flesh.

In a short moment, she felt that her body was somewhat out of control, as if something was growing wildly inside her, causing the flesh under her skin to itch unbearably and be刺痛 with pain.

She looked down and found that her snow-white and delicate skin was seeping blood, and red hairs were piercing through the skin and growing out.

Such a sight caused her to exclaim in shock, her pupils dilated, feeling terrified, and a chill ran down her spine.

"The Curse of Absolute Darkness… This is the Curse of Absolute Darkness!"

As the Empress of the Wind and Snow Royal Family, the leader of an ancient inheritance, her ancestors had participated in many wars against darkness.

She had naturally seen many records about darkness, which mentioned the Curse of Absolute Darkness many times.

This thing was incredibly terrifying, something that all living beings feared. Once contaminated, the consequences were unimaginable!

If the Curse of Absolute Darkness encountered was of a relatively low level, it could still be suppressed and refined by force using one's cultivation realm and powerful primordial spirit.

However, the Curse of Absolute Darkness material here was clearly of an extremely high level.

Otherwise, the Sand King wouldn't have had to suppress it back then.

Chu Yudie hurriedly circulated the power of the laws and life essence within her body to suppress it.

However, she found that the effect was very limited, only slowing down the growth rate of the red hair. She couldn't suppress the Curse of Absolute Darkness at all, let alone expel or refine it.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

Jun Wuxie knew that she was encountering the Curse of Absolute Darkness for the first time, and her Dao heart was being impacted by the evil will, causing her to feel fear. This was human nature.

No one can remain completely calm and not feel any fear when encountering such a thing for the first time.

The Destiny Star within Jun Wuxie's body generated a devouring force, transmitting it into Chu Yudie's body, forcibly stripping out the dark matter within her.

Chu Yudie felt that the changes in her body were gradually receding, and her tense spirit relaxed slightly. Her whole body was already soaked in cold sweat.

"Even after being suppressed, you still dare to cause trouble with your will of absolute darkness!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes shone with chaotic golden light, and every pore on his body formed a vortex, forcibly gathering the Curse of Absolute Darkness material and swallowing it into his Heavenly Cave Star Sea.

The pitch-black void then disappeared, and a burst of light came.

The scene before them underwent earth-shattering changes.

There was no longer any dark void.

Just now, it was just an illusion created by the will of the Curse of Absolute Darkness.

This was a stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber was a stone platform engraved with arrays, and on it lay a body covered in red hair.

Its face was covered in red hair, and its eyes were blood-red, overflowing with red flames. Two long, sharp fangs were exposed from its mouth.

Its hands had black fingernails that were a foot long.

However, it couldn't move. Divine iron chains were wrapped around it, binding it to the stone platform.

The arrays on the stone platform flowed with light, continuously pouring into the divine iron chains, tightly binding it.

"That's the evil being eroded by the Curse of Absolute Darkness?"

This was the first time Chu Yudie had seen such a thing in reality.

Its appearance was too terrifying, far more terrifying than the drawings in the royal family's ancient books.

The evil, eerie, violent, bloodthirsty, and other dark wills within the entire stone chamber were extremely strong, impacting their minds and making them feel as if they had fallen into a dark abyss.

"That's right."

"Although the Curse of Absolute Darkness is terrifying, it's not impossible to deal with."

"Curse matter is divided into strong and weak, similar to the cultivation realms of cultivators."

"If you encounter a weaker Curse of Absolute Darkness, with your cultivation, as long as you guard your sea of consciousness and primordial spirit, you can completely suppress it."

"So, you need to adapt to the impact of this kind of thing's evil will, don't be afraid, don't be scared."

"Am I… am I very useless?"

Chu Yudie felt somewhat ashamed. Her performance was really too poor. She was actually so frightened by the evil will of the Curse of Absolute Darkness. How would she fight against dark creatures in the future?

"Everyone feels fear when facing the Curse of Absolute Darkness for the first time."

"The evil will of this thing has too strong an impact on the mind, coupled with the panic caused by the changes in the flesh, it's difficult to remain calm."

"Come, let's go over there."

Jun Wuxie, holding Chu Yudie's hand, walked towards the suppressed and bound evil being of absolute darkness.

Chu Yudie only felt that her steps were extremely heavy. With each step she took, her heart trembled, and her body became a little colder.

Jun Wuxie stopped and glanced at her pale face.

This woman's hand was too cold, like ice, and the temperature was getting lower and lower.

"With me here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he let go of the hand holding Chu Yudie's wrist and put his arm around her soft, slender waist.

Not only did Chu Yudie not struggle, but she leaned into his arms as if she had found a support.

"I… I don't want to be like this, but I can't control the fear in my heart…"

Chu Yudie's pale face was full of self-blame and frustration. Her delicate body was tightly pressed against him, and she was trembling slightly.

"Try to control it, use your will to fight against it."

Jun Wuxie didn't laugh at her, nor did he think that her Dao heart was fragile.

Anyone else would have the same result, or even be worse than Chu Yudie.

It was only because the level of the Curse of Absolute Darkness here was higher than Chu Yudie's, causing a suppressive impact on her spirit, that she was unable to overcome the fear in her heart.

If it wasn't for the Doomsday Wheel in his body helping Chu Yudie devour the Curse of Absolute Darkness in her body, preventing those evil wills from continuing to impact her sea of consciousness, she would have already been eroded by the Curse of Absolute Darkness.

Jun Wuxie continued to walk towards the evil being of absolute darkness.

As the distance got closer and closer, Chu Yudie's body trembled even more violently.

Roar——

Suddenly, the evil being of absolute darkness bound within the stone platform's array let out an extremely fierce roar.

Chu Yudie's delicate body shook violently, and she suddenly hugged Jun Wuxie tightly.

At that moment, the evil will exploded instantly, almost causing her mind to collapse.

Clearly, the mental strength of the evil will was higher than Chu Yudie's, which was why it was like this.

At this time, she no longer had the strength and majesty of the Wind and Snow Empress, nor the usual coldness and arrogance.

She was more like a fragile woman full of fear, needing to find a strong support, needing someone to protect her.

Finally, they arrived in front of the stone platform.

"Roar—— Chi——"

The evil being of absolute darkness struggled violently, its eyes shot out blood-red light, staring at them fiercely, its mouth making sounds, its fangs flashing with a森白 light.

"Adjust your mood, don't be afraid, I need you to suppress it."

Jun Wuxie moved Chu Yudie's body in front of him, putting his arms around her slender waist from behind.

"Don't be afraid, I'm holding you, neither the curse matter nor the evil will can do anything to you."

"At this moment, you have to believe that you are invincible."

"Use your Wind and Snow Laws to condense a law diagram to suppress it, and cooperate with the array here to suppress all the laws in its body into the Heavenly Cave!"

"Okay…"

Chu Yudie's voice trembled violently.

She stretched out her hands, cast hand seals, and evolved a secret technique law diagram.

However, the secret technique law diagram was extremely unstable. Suspended above the evil being of absolute darkness, the secret technique law diagram had a tendency to collapse several times during the suppression process.

Jun Wuxie was speechless. How could she suppress it like this?

Her mind was too chaotic now, unable to concentrate due to fear.

"Chu Yudie!"

Jun Wuxie leaned close to her crystal-clear ear, almost touching her ear, and said, "Don't let me think that you only deserve to be a vase! Aren't you going to marry me?"

"Jun Shen's woman has never been trash. Even if it's just a nominal couple, you have to be qualified enough!"

"You… What did you say?"

Chu Yudie's mind buzzed, and an indescribable anger and humiliation surged into her heart.

He actually said that she was a vase, a piece of trash!

Those few words kept echoing in her mind, so that she temporarily forgot her fear.

The pride and competitiveness from her bones made her whole aura rise wildly.

The secret technique law diagram, which was about to collapse, suddenly became stable and solid, and with a bang, it suppressed the evil being of absolute darkness.

The evil being of absolute darkness roared in anger, condensing the power in its body to resist. The evil will frantically impacted Chu Yudie, and released the Curse of Absolute Darkness matter, pouring into her body.

However, whether it was the evil will or the Curse of Absolute Darkness matter, the moment they entered Chu Yudie's body, they were devoured cleanly by Jun Wuxie through physical contact with her.

Soon, the struggles of the evil being of absolute darkness gradually weakened, and the power in its body was suppressed in the Heavenly Cave.

At this time, Jun Wuxie struck out like lightning, his right hand stretched out, a vortex appeared in his palm, and he slapped the evil being of absolute darkness on the lower abdomen.

The Destiny Star operated, and the power of devouring was fully activated!

The power of absolute darkness in the evil being of absolute darkness was continuously devoured by him into his body, and purified by the Doomsday Wheel.

The evil being of absolute darkness discovered this and struggled frantically, but it was of no avail.

Originally, as the power of absolute darkness was being devoured, its power was rapidly weakening.

Here, there was a suppression array, coupled with Chu Yudie's Wind and Snow Secret Art array diagram, which gradually caused the Dark Evil to lose its struggling power.

“Roar——”

The Dark Evil let out an unwilling and violent roar, and the dark aura on its body rapidly weakened.

The evil will weakened accordingly, as did the power of the curse.

Chu Yudie's fear also lessened, making her feel much more comfortable.

Thinking of her previous performance, she felt very uncomfortable.

As the Snow Queen, how could she be so useless?

At this moment, the crimson hair on the Dark Evil on the stone platform was rapidly receding, as were its claws and fangs, and the blood color in its eyes was also fading.

In just a moment, the appearance of the Dark Evil completely changed.

Looking at the Dark Evil on the stone platform turning back into a normal human, Chu Yudie was filled with astonishment.

She hurriedly withdrew the Wind and Snow Secret Art and exclaimed, “How could it be the Sand King!”

“Why couldn't it be him?

Back then, his entire clan died in battle in the desolate borderlands, leaving only him alive to return.

The Sand People were powerful, and the Sand King was even more of a proud and outstanding figure.

It's not strange that a dark powerhouse would use the Dark Curse to deal with him.

Clearly, he forcibly suppressed the Dark Curse within his body at that time, but because of his severe injuries, he knew that he couldn't suppress it for too long, so he built the tomb, left behind the array, stripped his Dao Fruit, and suppressed himself.

He knew how terrifying the Dark Curse in his body was, and he had no choice but to do so.

With his primordial spirit extinguished and his remains controlled by the evil will, he was no longer the Sand King.

Now that his remains have returned to normal, perhaps it is a wish he wanted to fulfill but couldn't.”

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he released Chu Yudie, used the Rune Dao to conceal the array's perception, and extracted a mass of Earth Essence Soul filled with innate energy from the stone platform.

It was a fist-sized mass with many natural patterns and origin fragments inside, flowing with an earthy-yellow light.

“Back then, the Sand King didn't even have time to refine the Innate Earth Essence Soul.

Being afflicted by the Dark Curse, he had no other choice but to use the Innate Earth Essence Soul to condense the power of the earth, providing energy for the array to suppress his evil body.”

“These predecessors have sacrificed too much to resist the darkness…”

Chu Yudie sighed heavily.

At this moment, looking at the man in front of her who was leading the world to quell the apocalyptic torrents.

His figure suddenly became much more majestic than before.

The more she personally felt the terror and horror of the darkness, the more she felt that quelling the apocalyptic torrents was immeasurable merit.

Without the Innate Earth Essence Soul, the array lost its energy supply and quickly became silent.

Jun Wuxie flicked his fingers, dug open the middle of the stone platform, made a stone coffin, and buried the remains of the Sand King.

“Rest in peace, the future prosperity will surely be as you wished.

In the future, if I take the ultimate step and solve all the problems, you will surely return from the long river of time and witness the brilliance and eternity with your own eyes.”

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he closed the coffin lid and applied a Rune Dao seal.

“Senior, farewell.”

Chu Yudie bowed three times to the stone coffin.

Afterwards, she and Jun Wuxie left the interior of the stone tower and appeared at the top of the stone tower.

At the same time.

In the Great Desolate Desert region, there were two figures like great suns hanging in the sky, their bodies blooming with hundreds of millions of rays of light, dazzling and piercing.

These two people were naturally the powerhouses of the Great Sun Divine Clan, the Supreme Elders, and were among the strongest, Supreme God Realm Extreme Heaven Position.

They usually wouldn't come forward to manage clan affairs.

But this time, one of their Supreme Elders died, and his soul tablet shattered.

Who exactly was the murderer?

The Divine Son was killed by a young man in Divine City.

Later, the Divine Son's protector chased after the murderer and died in the mountains outside the city.

The Supreme Elder went to chase and kill, and also died.

They didn't believe that it was the young man who did it.

The only possibility was that there were strong people guarding the young man.

After tracking all the way to the Great Desolate Desert, the clues were cut off.

The target seemed to have evaporated out of thin air in the center of this Great Desolate Desert.

But they didn't believe that the target had really evaporated, and must have used some special means to hide in the Great Desolate Desert.

It was estimated that they were waiting for them to leave before running away.

“This尊 doesn't believe you can hide for a lifetime without coming out!

Dare to kill my Great Sun Divine Clan's Divine Son and Supreme powerhouse, no matter what your identities are, you must die!

Otherwise, what face does my Great Sun Divine Clan have to stand in the world!”

The two Supreme powerhouses were constantly searching in the Great Desolate Desert.

Even though they had searched many times, they still hadn't given up.

They were convinced that the target was here, just hiding and not daring to appear, probably waiting for them to leave before escaping.

… …

Inside the Sand King's Ancient Tomb.

Jun Wuxie and Chu Yudie had already returned to the first floor of the tomb chamber along the same route.

He buried the iron-clad monster he had killed in the broken stone coffin.

The stone coffin was repaired with Primal Rune Dao.

Only then did he walk towards the gate leading out of the tomb chamber.

Arriving at the gate, Jun Wuxie was about to open the stone door, but found that Chu Yudie's emotions seemed a little off.

“What's wrong? You've obtained no small opportunity in the ancient tomb this time, shouldn't you be happy?”

When Chu Yudie saw him looking over and heard what he said, she snorted unhappily, turned her face away, and looked like she didn't want to pay attention to him.

“What's wrong with you?”

Jun Wuxie was very surprised, what was going on?

Chu Yudie clenched her hands tightly in anger, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she suddenly turned to look at him, “I am not a vase, let alone a useless person!”

Ever since leaving the interior of the stone tower, she had been brooding over this.

She had told herself more than once not to care about these things and not to let him affect her emotions.

But every time she found it difficult to do so and couldn't control herself.

“So you are unhappy because of this sentence.”

Jun Wuxie smiled faintly, “If I hadn't provoked you at the time, would you have been able to overcome your inner fear?”

“That… that's still not okay! You just can't say that to me, Jun Shen!”

“It's already been said, so what do you want to do now?”

“Return to the Alliance Fortress with me and get married!”

… …

Jun Wuxie was very speechless, why was it marriage again.

“Can we not mention marriage?”

“No, my purpose is to marry you, why can't I mention it?”

“If you really want to marry me that much, it's not impossible.”

Jun Wuxie's attitude suddenly changed, and he took a few steps closer to Chu Yudie.

Chu Yudie panicked slightly in her heart and couldn't help but step back, ending up leaning directly against the stone door.

“How about we consummate the marriage first and then hold the wedding later.”

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he pinned her against the stone door, his eyes full of conquest and aggression.

“You… let me go…”

Chu Yudie's face instantly turned red, she turned her head and didn't dare to look at him, her breathing was disordered, and she pushed him in a panic, looking terrified.

“We agreed that we would only be husband and wife in name, how can we consummate the marriage with you!”

She forcibly calmed down, bit her shell teeth, and said coldly.

“Why should it be whatever you say it is, and I have to follow your wishes?”

Jun Wuxie forcefully hooked Chu Yudie's crystal-clear and smooth chin, “Come, tell me, what qualifications or capital do you have to ask me to do this.”

“Does Jun Shen have to say things so harshly?”

Chu Yudie was both angry and aggrieved, this guy was too hateful, he spoke so directly, not at all euphemistically.

“I don't have the qualifications, nor do I have the capital, but I hope that Jun Shen can give me some respect and leave me some dignity!”

Jun Wuxie released her, moved a few steps sideways, and began to remove the restriction on the door, saying: “If you can't let go of your dignity in front of me, go back to your Wind and Snow Royal Family after you go out, and don't follow me anymore.”

“Okay!”

Chu Yudie was silent for a moment and said okay.

She really couldn't follow him anymore.

She had warned herself countless times in her heart to prevent her emotions from being affected by him.

But every time she would be led by his emotions, and every time her state of mind would be disturbed by him.

Just like now, her heart was beating so fast, that kind of panic made her feel at a loss.

This man was too dangerous, she had to stay away.

At least temporarily stay away from him and adjust her state of mind properly.

As for the matter of marriage, she could only put it on hold temporarily and think of a solution later.
