Chapter 1643 - Rebirth of a Witch (1/2)

The faint black aura swam all over Chanyi’s body. Soon, every inch of her body was enveloped by a dark and blurry profound light.

The light only lasted for a short time. So short in fact, that it disappeared just as the Witches were about to probe it. At the same time, Yun Che withdrew his palm and stopped whatever he was doing.

Chanyi opened her eyes and checked her profound veins immediately. However, she frowned when she found no changes in herself whatsoever.

It was the same with the rest of the Witches. Ye Li spoke up first and asked, “How do you feel?”

“...” Chanyi slowly shook her head in response.

Although they never believed that Yun Che could do what he claimed he could do in the first place, the confirmation was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. If the Witches weren’t livid before, they were now after being provoked and made fun of repeatedly.

In contrast, Yun Che was acting distant and indifferent, much as he had since the beginning. It was as if the world itself was of no concern to him. Qianye Ying’er’s lips had curled into an exquisite but derisive smile, clearly mocking them for their foolish choice to believe them in the Witches’ opinion.

“Very good.” Ye Li’s tone actually grew tamer as she approached the limit of her anger. “In the end, outsiders are just outsiders. Yesterday you killed Yan Sangeng, and today you provoked us repeatedly in the Soul Stealing Realm. It would seem that you’re—”

“Wait!”

Chanyi’s sudden exclamation of surprise drew the Witches’ attention immediately. They quickly discovered that the normally collected Witch was looking unusually stunned and lost. In fact, her shock and disbelief seemed to be growing by the second… it was as if she was seeing an unbelievable dream that only she could perceive.

“What is it?” Yao Die asked.

Chanyi didn’t say anything. She simply raised her arm very, very slowly and spread open her palm.

The confused Witches watched as a ball of darkness suddenly appeared in Chanyi’s hand. It took only an instant to transform into a big, black lotus.

The dark lotus carried the aura of a dark purgatory. It soundlessly devoured all the light in its surroundings and dyed every Witch’s eyes black, eyes that were filled with pure shock and disbelief.

“Ah…” Eighth Witch Yu Wu opened her mouth unconsciously. Her eyes were about as widened as they could be. “How… how did you do it, Chanyi?”

Chanyi was the Ninth Witch and overall the weakest of all of them. Her power couldn’t easily affect or suppress her fellow sisters, and thus far the black lotus she created hadn’t exceeded their knowledge of her limits.

However, the same couldn’t be said about the speed at which the black lotus had been created… it was so fast it should’ve been absolutely impossible.

Chanyi had created her black lotus out of nothing in barely an instant, and it was more than twice her usual speed!

Even stranger was how quiet—or more accurately, docile— the black lotus in Chanyi’s hand was. Darkness profound energy was a symbol of negativity, violence and destruction, and every time it was used, it was like unleashing a violent and berserk devil god that wants to devour everything in the world. This didn’t change even when the profound practitioners controlling it had reached the Divine Master Realm, the supposedly highest realm in this world.

Darkness profound energy had never had anything to do with the word “tame”.

It was the common sense of common senses in today’s Northern Divine Region and world.

But Chanyi’s darkness profound energy was so stable that it defied common sense. It was almost as if it was a sentient being that had submitted entirely to her will.

In other words, Chanyi had… perfect control over her darkness profound energy!

“Chanyi, wh… what’s going on?” Ye Li stuttered, but the Witch in question still didn’t give her an answer. Since it was her body that was transformed, her shock was many times greater than her sisters’.

Chanyi closed her palm tentatively, and the lotus of darkness vanished completely without a trace.

Again, her action caused her sisters to shiver in shock.

Not even the strongest Witch of them all, no, the god emperors of the Northern Divine Region… could withdraw their darkness profound energy immediately and leave no traces behind.

“The devils were an independent race, and darkness profound energy was a power they wielded alone.”

Yun Che’s indifferent voice cut through the haze of shock. “Today, all the so-called devil people in the Northern Divine Region were people who actively or passively corrupted themselves with darkness profound energy. Although they gained the ability to control darkness profound energy and cultivate dark profound arts as a result—some were even forced to pass it down to the next generation forever—they ultimately weren’t true devils. At most, they were half-devils.”

“This applies to all the devil beasts and devil spirits existing in the Northern Divine Region as well.”

That is why none of you can ever be fully compatible with darkness profound energy… except you.” Yun Che stared at Nanhuang Chanyi and dropped landmine after landmine. “Starting now, you are more or less a true devil person.”

“You… you’re saying…” Yu Wu’s words spilled out of her mouth faster than her conscious thoughts.

“From today onward, you have complete mastery over your darkness profound energy. Your ability to gather, circulate and regain darkness profound energy will be many times faster than what you’re used to. Although your profound strength hasn’t changed one bit, there is no one in the entire Northern Divine Region who is a match for you, assuming that your power levels are identical.”

“Your cultivation speed will be several times faster than before.”

“Darkness profound energy will never consume your life force again, much less spiral out of your control.”

“Its natural effects on your mind will be suppressed to a minimum.”
