Chapter 1682 - Destruction of Beliefs (1/2)
The Yama Realm, the Devil Palace of Eternal Darkness.
“Royal father,” Yan Jie respectfully greeted the back of the Yama Emperor, Yan Tianxiao.
Yan Tianxiao turned around and asked, “Have we heard anything from our three ancestors?”
Yan Jie shook his head. “Nothing yet.”
“Has the sealing profound formation been attacked?” Yan Tianxiao asked.
Yan Jie replied, “This child has personally observed it for the past few days. The great formation sealing the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness has not been impacted by any form of energy.”
After he said those words, he stood up and continued, “However, this isn’t anything unexpected. Now that he has fallen into the clutches of our three venerable ancestors, he won’t even be able to struggle. Even if the barrier was opened wide, there’s no way he’d even have a chance to escape.”
Yan Tianxiao’s brow furrowed deeply and he looked like he had recalled something.
“Royal father, do you want this child to go in and take a look?” Yan Jie asked.
“No.” Yan Tianxiao raised a hand. “At the very least, there is one thing about Yun Che that is true and it’s the fact that he inherited the power of a Devil Emperor. Our three venerable ancestors have been trapped in the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness for the longest time and their greatest desire is to be able to reach the domain of darkness that lies beyond our limits. After they capture Yun Che, I am sure that they are using all of their methods to extract all of the secrets concerning the Devil Emperor’s inheritance from his body.”
“They might even be able to plunder it from his body.”
Even though he knew that this possibility was extremely faint, no one would pass up such an opportunity if they had the chance. In fact, they’d use every method at their disposal to try to extract it from him.
“Whether they succeed or fail in the end, the venerable ancestors will come out on their own volition once the matter is settled. If you didn’t sense any activity within the ‘tomb’, that means they’re currently pouring all of their effort into this matter. If you simply enter the ‘tomb’ without thinking and disturb them, there will be a heavy price to pay.”
Yan Jie shuddered as he hurriedly said, “Royal father is right. This child spoke rashly.”
“However…” Yan Tianxiao raised his head to look into the distance. “It has already been six days but the Soul Stealing Realm has shown no signs of movement. Do they believe that Yun Che has cowed all of us and is currently using the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness to cultivate? Hmph, how laughable.”
“Dispatch some men to keep a tight watch on the Soul Stealing Realm. They are to report back immediately if they detect any suspicious movements.”
“Yes.”
Yan Jie acknowledged his orders and left.
Yan Tianxiao lapsed into silent thought for a long period of time but he could not think of any scenario where Yun Che could have managed to turn the tables on them. In fact, he was even starting to suspect that Yun Che might just be another one of Chi Wuyao’s disposable pawns.
Given Chi Wuyao’s incomparably merciless and vicious methods, this was definitely something that she would do.
So Yan Tianxiao also assumed the same thing.
It was just that...
He would never have imagined the treatment the three ancient founders of the Yama Realm had been suffering for the last six days...
Rumble! Rumble! RUMBLE!!
Huge explosions thundered in the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness. However, these earth-shaking explosions of energy were completely engulfed by hoarse screams that were far too miserable.
Pure white light shone from Yun Che’s body and the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword weaved through the air without end. His tyrannical sword might was infused with light profound energy, which was both incomparably sacred and cruel in this situation, as it continuously battered the bodies of Three Yama Ancestors.
Heavenly Wolf Slash, Wild Fang, Heavenly Star Lamentation, Instantaneous Hell Calamity, Azure Wolf Claw, Bloodmoon Immortal Slaying Sword!
The first six forms of the Heavenly Wolf Hell God’s Tome continuously bombarded the Three Yama Ancestors.
As the current era’s most tyrannical and overwhelming heavy sword style, even the very first form of the Heavenly Wolf Hell God’s Tome, the Heavenly Wolf Slash, exhausted a huge amount of energy. Yun Che would normally feel exhausted after practicing it a few times during his normal cultivation.
However, he could wildly swing his sword to his heart’s content in this place. In the last six days, he had slowly strengthened his mastery over the Heavenly Wolf Hell God’s Tome.
And the Three Yama Ancestors had become mere punching bags to practice his sword skills on! Furthermore, they were punching bags who couldn’t even die! Even if they had been slashed in half by the frenzied sword might and light profound energy, they would swiftly regenerate once he withdrew his light.
This sort of indestructibility was the unique, heaven-defying ability that the Three Yama Ancestors had obtained in the past.
But it had now turned into their greatest nightmare due to Yun Che’s light profound energy.
They had used their own power and ghost claws to strike their own bodies and snap their own throats countless times by now. They had even tried to detonate their own meridians and life veins… They wanted to die. All of their thoughts and will were begging for death.
However, their lives and auras were linked to the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness. Their only escape was if they could leave and destroy the entire Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness or if they were completely erased from the face of this earth by Yun Che’s light profound energy.
Otherwise, dying was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy for them.
But why would Yun Che truly want to kill them or give them an opportunity to leave?
In this purgatory of light, the only things that were left to them were boundless despair and endless torture.
Occasionally, Yun Che would transform this light into fire and he would continuously unleash Nine Suns Heaven’s Fury and World Illuminating Red Lotus, attacks that would normally take him a long time to launch, to burn them. But this scorching hellfire was a great reprieve for the Yama Ancestors.
This tragic and brutal torture was repeated over and over again for the past six days. Their bodies and souls had been consumed and restored countless times. Their torn throats had knit together before their screaming tore them open again...
Clang!
Yun Che withdrew his sword and all of the light profound energy that was radiating from his body vanished.
The Three Yama Ancestors crawled around in the darkness. As their bodies twitched and their souls shuddered, they began to restore themselves once more.
However, they no longer tried to escape, because it was useless… utterly useless.
That person was just like a devil… no, he was millions of times more terrifying and cruel than any devil. He was the true ruler of darkness! All of the dark yin energy in this place was under his control. There was nowhere the three of them could run.
“Kill me… I beg you, please kill me…”
At first, they cursed him furiously and roared their defiance at him. Even if they begged for death, they would still yell something like “Kill me if you have the guts!”
But now, they were reduced to begging him in the most pathetic manner possible.
Death… In this hell of light, they could think of nothing sweeter and more beautiful than the release of death.
If it was any other trio, this sort of torture would have driven them crazy a long time ago.
However, their bodies were not the only thing that was regenerating, their souls were as well. Even collapsing into a vegetitative state was nothing but a pipedream for them.
“Kill me… kill me… please, I’m begging you…”
