Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie was shocked by the reaction of his own heart.

How could there be such a feeling of palpitation? Each beat was so heavy, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

A strong sense of sorrow grew in his heart, becoming more and more intense.

"It's you and yet not you..." The woman sighed faintly, crystal tears rolling down her sorrowful eyes: "It seems I have harmed you. You shouldn't have gotten involved. With your abilities, you could have survived that doomsday torrent..."

"Senior..."

Jun Wuxie finally spoke. He knew that the obsession before him must have recognized that he was not that Yuan Feng.

"Don't speak..."

The woman leaned down, put her ear to his chest, and said, "Let me listen to his heartbeat..."

Jun Wuxie was immediately shocked!

The woman's words echoed in his ears. At this moment, his heart almost uncontrollably spasmed slightly, giving him a suffocating heartache.

He almost thought he really was that Yuan Feng.

But he knew he wasn't, and the original owner of this heart...should be...

The Chaos Origin Saint...

The Yuan Feng she spoke of was the Chaos Origin Saint?

He felt the clothes on his chest were wet.

It was the woman's soul tears, very cold.

He remained motionless, letting the woman press against his chest to listen to the sound of his heartbeat.

After a long time, the woman's figure began to fade. She finally moved her head away and looked at Jun Wuxie with a complex gaze, saying, "Now that you have obtained his heart, live well and never let it stop beating."

As she spoke, the woman stretched out her finger, a mysterious rune dancing on its tip.

She pointed her finger at Jun Wuxie's brow, and the rune disappeared into his mind.

"This rune can open the highest treasure of my Myriad Law Sacred Ground—the Myriad Law Secret Canon. It contains all the cultivation methods collected by our sacred ground, with the outline of all laws. It is in the deepest part of the ancient hall, and it is my gift to you for continuing Yuan Feng's life. Although, I know that this heart has completely merged with you and has nothing to do with Yuan Feng, I still want to thank you, thank you for allowing me to hear its beating so clearly..."

"Senior..."

"Descendant, when you obtained Yuan Feng's heart, did he leave behind a primordial spirit imprint? Did he leave any words behind?"

The woman's phantom was very faint, but her eyes were very bright, full of anticipation.

"It turns out that Senior, you are the person whom the Chaos Origin Saint never forgot. He said that he deeply loved a woman, but could not be together for life, but he never blamed her..."

Jun Wuxie said with a sigh. These words were naturally fabricated by him, but they were a kind lie.

"Yuan Feng didn't blame me...he didn't blame me..."

The woman smiled, tears streaming down her face as her faint voice scattered into a rain of light, disappearing just like that.

The main hall became very silent.

After a long while, Lan Lan carried Ling Qingyu forward, coming to his side.

Jun Wuxie turned around and saw a hint of sadness in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "In this world, there should have been many beautiful things, but they are hurt by the darkness. What you and I want to pursue in the future, what we care about, may also end because of the darkness..."

"Yes, this is a hurdle that all the creatures in the heavens cannot overcome, a nightmare that they will eventually face..."

Ling Qingyu's mood was very heavy. She said that, now it seems, the mysterious Myriad Law Sacred Ground of that year, its sect was located on this continent. At that time, this continent was still in the Upper Realm, a corner of land near the border wilderness.

Later, something big happened in the border wilderness. When the strong from the major forces rushed there, all they saw was ruin. A corner of the continent also broke and disappeared, and all the Dark Spirit army retreated.

"Border wilderness? Dark Spirit army?"

Jun Wuxie looked at her in shock.

Ling Qingyu nodded, saying that in their Upper Realm, there was a Border Wilderness City, guarding the peace of the Upper Realm. At the end of each epoch, they would face the attack of Dark Spirits, and almost every time they would turn into ruins in the war, only rarely being preserved, but even then, they would be dilapidated.

That border wilderness was located in a special location, the cosmic space node where the Dark Spirits connected to the Upper Realm. Every hundred years, the forces of the Upper Realm would select a strong person to go to the border wilderness, where many powerful figures gathered, preparing to resist the invasion of the Dark Spirits.

Jun Wuxie's heart was very uneasy. The Upper Realm actually had a Border Wilderness City, built specifically to resist the invasion of darkness.

Their Lower Realm did not have the so-called border wilderness. He didn't even know where the Dark Universe creatures invaded from, nor had he ever heard anyone say it.

The major forces of the Lower Realm did not understand the darkness, only knowing the Dark Curse, and calling it the Doomsday Curse!

"Now many things are clear."

Ling Qingyu said that the reason why the Chaos Origin Saint suddenly disappeared that year was probably because he learned of the destruction of the Myriad Law Sacred Ground, and went to take revenge on the Dark Spirit creatures in a fit of anger, but he was ultimately no match, and was seriously injured and dying.

"The truth of that year should be as you guessed. If the Chaos Origin Saint didn't want his inheritance to be cut off, he would probably have chosen to die in battle in the border wilderness, and would not have left like that. In the future, I may also face such a thing, but I will never let the Dark Spirit creatures hurt anyone around me! Since ancient times, there have been too many such tragedies. I will never let the tragedy continue to repeat itself like reincarnation..."

Jun Wuxie's voice was very emotional, but it was full of determination!

He wanted to fight, to change this cycle of tragedy!

For himself, for everyone he cared about!

"Let's go."

He turned over and sat on Lan Lan's back, his eyes sweeping around the main hall.

Around the main hall were many wall shelves, on which were placed many jade stone books, but they were all dilapidated, obviously destroyed in the war.

One could imagine that these books must have recorded various cultivation methods, but now they could not be passed down.

The methods recorded in the jade stone books must have been engraved with the power of runes. If they were damaged and the runes were erased, all the information inside would disappear.

Bypassing the stone platform, there was a doorway in front, right in front of the main hall.

They entered the doorway, and the scene before them suddenly became open and vast.

This was a vast plain, with some low mountains, undulating at the end of the earth.

The palace contained a small world within, so he and Ling Qingyu were not surprised by such a scene.

Lan Lan galloped across the plain, quickly reaching the mountain range.

The mountains were shrouded in mist.

When they passed through the mountains, the scene before them changed again.

The view was no longer so open.

It looked like a very large valley, with a deadwood forest in front.

The trees here were very large, but they had no leaves. The trunks were withered, the mist lingered, and it was somewhat eerie.

After traveling for a while, passing through the deadwood forest, the mist dissipated, and dazzling light entered their eyes, along with violent roaring sounds.

A ray of light shuttled through the air.

Many figures were chasing, fighting fiercely, and killing each other.

Jun Wuxie's eyes flashed with golden pupil runes, and he saw clearly what those people were chasing. It turned out to be jade books!

They were snatching cultivation methods and secret techniques!

Those people were not strangers, they were the geniuses of the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy.

There were humans and sea creatures, but the sea creatures did not have the advantage, and there were even fewer of them than the humans.

That book was particularly dazzling. When it flew, occasional strange beasts would appear, making deafening roars, and the sound waves rolled.

"Xu Yan'ning?"

Among the people chasing the book was Xu Yan'ning. She was chasing the most dazzling book. The strong of the sea race were snatching it, but many human geniuses were helping Xu Yan'ning intercept the strong of the sea race, and they fought fiercely with each other.

"It seems that that book is very important to Xu Yan'ning. Judging from the strange phenomenon that appeared when it fled, it should be a method of controlling beasts. The sea race does not have the ability to control beasts, but they insist on snatching it, which is to prevent the human race geniuses from getting the opportunity."

Jun Wuxie sneered. These sea creatures would rather snatch it for themselves even if it was useless, than let the human race get it.

Many human geniuses were injured, and some of the sea creatures were also injured, but overall they had the upper hand.

"Lan Lan, protect Ling Qingyu!"

Jun Wuxie would naturally not stand by. He went across the sky, like a round of golden sun, illuminating the dim world here.

The human and sea geniuses were suddenly startled when they saw the blazing golden light, and looked over together.

"Lord God?"

The human geniuses were stunned in place, and then shouted excitedly.

When the sea creatures saw this, their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and they turned to run!

Jun Wuxie did not pursue, helping Xu Yan'ning to collect the book.

"Young Master Jun, you're here too!"

Xu Yan'ning looked at him excitedly, and then looked at the book in her hands again and again, looking like she loved it.

He couldn't help but glanced at the book, and there were a few ancient characters on it—Saint Codex of Beast Control.

It was indeed a method about controlling beasts, no wonder Xu Yan'ning was so excited.

"Lord God, did you also come because you saw the auspicious light emanating from the palace?"

Those geniuses came forward, many of them were injured, but their expressions were very excited.

Jun Wuxie nodded and said, "Did you see Yinlan and the others?"

"I didn't see Ji Yinlan..."

Speaking of this, these people's faces changed suddenly: "Not good, earlier Patriarch Yan and Saintess Yunxi chased a demon flower towards the depths, and Liu Sheng Yijian and the others were chasing behind, also wanting to snatch that demon flower!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes twitched: "How many people are they?"

"The young supreme beings from those five ancient stars of life are all here, fifteen in total! We were entangled by these sea creatures at the time and couldn't get away, so..."

"It's okay, you guys follow slowly and help me protect that woman!"

He pointed to Ling Qingyu, who was riding Lan Lan and walking over, and then left like a golden storm.

...

Before long, Jun Wuxie arrived at the deepest part of the area and saw Yan Qingcheng, Mu Yunxi, and Yan Ruyu.

They were standing beneath a pyramid-shaped structure, surrounded by withered trees.

Those trees were covered with bronze iron sheets, making them look very eerie.

Yan Qingcheng clutched a demonic flower flowing with purple light in her hand. Both she and Mu Yunxi were stained with blood, protecting Yan Ruyu behind them.

Yan Ruyu's injuries were severe, and her pale face showed almost no color.

Her whole body was soaked in blood, her hair was disheveled, and blood trickled from her mouth.

There was a hole in the pyramid halfway up, and wisps of auspicious energy emanated from it, even with strands of radiant light flashing.

Below the pyramid, Yan Qingcheng, Mu Yunxi, and Yan Ruyu were surrounded by fifteen young Supreme beings from the front and both sides.

"Run, why don't you run anymore? In front of us, you can barely survive! Quickly hand over the Heavenly Demon Flower!"

Liu Sheng Yijian held his weapon in one hand and stroked his chin with the other, his expression somewhat grim, and said, "If we kill you, will that Chaotic Body go crazy?"

"Hahaha, we can already imagine him going mad!"

Ayu Supreme from the White Elephant Ancient Star stroked his beard, his expression somewhat arrogant and lewd.

"Surrender and be captured, hand over the Heavenly Demon Flower. Don't think about threatening us by destroying it."

Lu Siqi, the young female Supreme from Penglai Ancient Star, said coldly, "Your retreat is cut off, and you have no hope of escaping from our hands!"

"Why don't you come and try?"

Yan Qingcheng coldly swept her gaze over these young Supreme beings. How could she possibly sit and wait for death?

"Hahaha! Yan Qingcheng, do you still want to resist?"

Ruan Tianxing from Nan'an Ancient Star curled the corner of his mouth slightly, mocking, "Who gave you the courage? The Chaotic Body? Don't even mention that the Chaotic Body hasn't come; even if he did, he would only be seeking death! In front of us, what is the Chaotic Body? Killing him is as easy as cutting grass! Today, even the Heavenly King himself descending wouldn't be able to save your lives!"
