Chi Wuyaoâs order for the three Yama Ancestors to commit suicide for Yun Che⊠was not met with resistance or fear, but mad excitement and fervor.
âForget giving my life, Iâll scatter my own ashes if it can save my master!â Yan One roared.
Yan Two breathed heavily. âOur lives are meant to be used for our masterâs sake, and there is no greater honor than to die for our master!â
Yan Three literally dropped to his knees before the Devil Queen. He was quaking violently not because he was afraid to die, but because his master was in grave danger. âTell us already, Devil Queen! How exactly do we save the master? If we wait any longer, then master willâmaster willââ
Yan Wanchi, Yan Wanhun, and Yan Wangui.
They were the progenitors of the Yama Realm and the oldest beings to ever live in the God Realm.
They were some of the most exalted people in the universe even after they had been subverted with the slave imprint, and they were so used to being called Yan One, Yan Two, and Yan Three that even they had begun to forget their original names, much less everyone else.
And yet, they did not hesitate for even an instant when the Devil Queen had demanded they give up eight hundred thousand years of existence just like that.
Their loyalty was artificial. But Chi Wuyao still could not help but be moved by their devotion.
âVery good.â The Devil Queen nodded lightly. âThis is the plan. Meiyin will use the World Piercer to teleport you right next to your master. What you need to do is to break your master away from that man before your bodies are torn apart, no matter the cost! Do you understand?â
As long they could break the Abyssal Knightâs hold on Yun Che, Shui Meiyin would be able to teleport him away to safety.
âUnderstood! We understand!!â All three Yama Ancestors nodded in unison. Their black auras surged restlessly as the savage, twisting image of a Yama Devil manifested behind their backs. Their eyes burned with impatience and frenzy.
âIâll go too!â Qianye Yingâer declared in a cold and ruthless voice. âThey might not be enough to finish the job!â
However, Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhuâs voices rang behind her right after she said this. âNo, weâll go.â
âThe Devil Queen must not risk herself for the future of Emperor Yun and the God Realm.â Qianye Bingzhu explained, âJust the same, you must preserve yourself for the future of the Qianyes, God Emperor.â
Qiayen Wugu added, âRemember how those two acted when we unleashed the golden light of Brahma? With luck, we may be able to catch him by surprise as well.â
The two Brahma Ancestors hadnât forgotten how Nan Zhaoming and Nan Zhaoguang had behaved after they unleashed their Brahma Monarch divine power.
Chi Wuyao: ââŠ!â
Assuming that their prediction was true, their chance of success just went up considerably.
âWe beseech you to let us go in peace, God Emperor.â
Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu said at the same time, their voices as ancient as their gazes.
Although they knew full well that they would not survive this endeavor, they were as terrified of dying as the three Yama Ancestors were. There was only deep sincerity in their voices.
ââŠâ Qianye Yingâerâs lips parted, but she was unable to find the words to speak.
Chi Wuyao grabbed Qianye Yingâerâs hand before nodding toward the two Brahma Ancestors. âThen we will count on you, seniors.â
Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu nodded at her before standing next to the three Yama Ancestors. They then placed their palms over their chest to muster every ounce of Brahma Monarch divine power in their bodies. A moment later, the deepest part of their profound veins lit up with the brightest Brahma Monarch light they had ever conjured in their lives.
âWe are ready,â Qianye Wugu said indifferently after the preparations were complete.
âMeiyinâŠâ
Chi Wuyao spoke as she cast her gaze across Yan One, Yan Two, Yan Three, Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu. She knew that this was the last time she would be seeing them. In the next moment, they would be delivered to the jaws of death by her own orders.
Losing the five ancestors was a huge loss not just to Yun Che, but also the entire God Realm.
There was no other choice though.
She would bury the God Realm itself if it would improve their chances of saving Yun Che.
âWait!â
Chi Wuyao was about to give the order when Qianye Yingâer spoke up all of a sudden. Staring at Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhuâs back, she said in a trembling voice, âGreat grandfather, grandfather⊠if I am somehow alive by the end of this tribulation, in the name of Qianye Yingâer, I swear⊠that I will restore the Qianye dynasty to its former glory.â
For many years, she had been Yun Qianying and Yun Qianying only. No one expected her to bring up her old name of her own accord.
Previously, she had ruled the Brahma Monarch God Realm only because Yun Che needed her to. But today, she had finally accepted her original name and lineage once more.
Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhuâs backs shivered a little as if they were touched by a chilly breeze.
They closed their eyes at the same time, but not fast enough to keep a tear from falling.
They had ruled for a time and spent the rest of their lifetimes pursuing immortality. They had experienced so much that even death held no sway over them anymore. And yet⊠the cry of a loved one had shot right through their indifference like it was nothing.
They smiled. They did not fear death to begin with, but now? They felt lighter than they had ever been in a lifetime.
Crack crack crack crack crack!
Meanwhile, the sound of shattering bones had finally come to a stop.
Every meridian in Yun Cheâs body had been shattered. There wasnât a single intact bone left in him either.
âThe cultivation of a Divine Sovereign, but the power of Divine Extinction Realm,â Mo Beichen said slowly while stabbing Yun Cheâs body in and out with his energy. He was hoping to discover the divine marks left behind by the Creation God and the Devil Emperor. âShow me, boy. Reveal the rest of pleasant surprises you have in store for me.â
ââŠâ Yun Cheâs pupils had stopped contracting at this point. Mo Beichen was nothing more but a blurry, grayish outline in his vision now.
âTeleport, Meiyin!â
Realizing that there was no time left, Chi Wuyao barked out the order while unleashing a stream of pitch black light from her eyes.
When the Nirvana Devil Emperor Soul had emerged in full force, it cut right through the Half-Godâs forcefield and continued toward Mo Beichen at high speed.
The World Piercerâs spatial power was unleashed in that moment. The crimson divine light wrapped around the five ancestors and teleported them away in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, the unnatural soul fluctuation of the Nirvana Devil Emperor Soul alarmed Mo Beichen and caused him to spin toward Chi Wuyao immediately. He released his own soul energy in an attempt to respond to her attack, but doing so caused him to miss the crimson flash right above his headânot that he wouldâve noticed it even if he wasnât distracted.
The World Piercer affects nothing and leaves absolutely no trace behind when carrying out a teleportation. Not even Mo Beichen could detect or guard himself against it.
Five figures descended seemingly out of nowhere.
Mo Beichen hadnât withdrawn his forcefield this whole time, so to say that the space around him was deadly even to a God Emperor would be an understatement.
The moment the three Yama Ancestors and the two Brahma Ancestors appeared above Mo Beichen, the Half-Godâs power immediately stabbed into their bodies like a million blades. It felt as if their bodies and internal organs were being torn into a million pieces.
That was fine though, because surviving this wasnât their objective. Everyone unleashed the power they had been gathering in that instant.
Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu transformed into a pair of golden suns as they fell toward Mo Beichen.
It was of course the Brahma Monarchâs unique skill, the Brahma Soul Ashes.
The two former Brahma Heaven God Emperors had injected their life, their Brahma soul and all of their divine power into this suicide attack. The Half-Godâs forcefield was immensely powerful, but even that wasnât enough to stop them detonating and leaving behind a pair of golden suns that illuminated everything within hundreds of thousands of kilometers of the star region.
They had used the suicide skill immediately after they appeared not because they were hoping to defeat Mo Beichenâthey wouldnât be in this situation if that was possibleâbut to increase their chances of rescuing Yun Che even if only a little.
The sudden attack and the Brahma Ancestorsâ golden auras had caught Mo Beichen by surprise exactly as they had predicted. When the Brahma Soul Ashes descended toward his head, his pupils had contracted in shock, and the disdain and arrogance that seemed like a permanent fixture of his eyes had temporarily given way to utter shock and awe.
His body shivered violently, and even the forcefield that was more terrifying than ten thousand nightmares largely crumbled.
BOOMâ
Stunned and confused, the two suns struck Mo Beichen squarely in the head before he could react. Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu possessed the greatest Brahma Monarch divine power in the Primal Chaos bar none, not to mention that they had injected absolutely everything they had into the attack. Naturally, it was a terrible blow even for a profound practitioner as powerful as Mo Beichen.
On a side note, Yun Che only took minimal damage because he wasnât the focus of their attack.
The two explosions threw Mo Beichenâs head back so violently that his neck became heavily misaligned. Not only that, his balance was thrown completely off because he was falling rapidly with his upper body leaning back way more than he wouldâve preferred.
ââŠâ The golden suns dyed Qianye Yingâerâs eyes to the pure gold they were many years ago.
This was the end of the two former Brahma Heaven God Emperors, Qianye Wugu and Qianye Fantian. They were great men who had sacrificed life and power to leave behind two golden seeds of hope in their final moments.
âJIEHA!!â
The rescue effort was just beginning, however. Amidst a backdrop of golden light, Yan One, Yan Two, and Yan Three let out the most ear-piercing screech of their lives and pounced toward Mo Beichen like rabid dogs.
Their devilish eyes were overflowing with savagery, and the Yama Devil image behind their backs looked unstable enough to disintegrate on its own at any moment. At the same time, the rampaging energy around their hands took the form of the ugliest, scariest talons of hell.
Stunned in more ways than one, Mo Beichen simply couldnât react in time to stop the Yama Ancestors from pouncing on him.
Yan One had wrapped himself around Mo Beichenâs right arm and bit down on his wrist with blackish, withered teeth. Yan Two had clung to Mo Beichenâs right shoulder, locked his arms around the arm bone in a death grip, and unleashed all of his power at once.
They did this because Mo Beichen was holding Yun Che with his right hand!
As for Yan Three, the Yama Ancestor had jumped on top of Mo Beichenâs face and wrapped his thin and frail-looking arms around his bent neck. He stretched his blackened, ghoulish mouth to a comically wide degree before biting down on the Half-Godâs head. At the same time, he unleashed all of his Yama Devil powers in an attempt to pierce the manâs skull.
Mo Beichen was stunned, off balance, and not at full strength. Not only that, the three Yama Ancestors were able to unleash their full power at melee range. A hundred black explosions erupted around the Half Godâs right arm in an instant, twisting it unnaturally and weakening his grip on Yun Cheâs throat a little.
Mo Beichen was an Abyssal Knight however, a Half-God, and a man of formidable character. His grip had retightened before anyone could take advantage of it, and although Mo Beichen still hadnât turned his head around, a bit of brutality had returned to his trembling eyes. At the same time, his forcefield had ceased its crumbling and regained a bit of strength.
It must be said that Mo Beichen had been caught completely and utterly off guard, and his soul was still shaking after witnessing the golden light of Brahma Monarch. What this meant was that his reaction hadnât been a conscious thing. It was his body instinctively trying to wrestle back some measure of control after being caught by surprise; the uncanny instinct of a Half-God.
This was bad news for the Yama Ancestors because less than ten percent of a Half-Godâs power was still a lot of power, not to mention that they were clinging to his body.
âSHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!â
The three Yama Ancestors screamed on top of their lungs. Their bodies suddenly twisted like wrung cloths, scattering blood, bone and gore all over the place.
Yan One and Yan Twoâs arms shattered into a million pieces in an instant, but they forcefully stitched the flesh and bone with their power and maintained their hold, not giving Mo Beichen even an inch of ground. Even their shattered teeth were still stuck in Mo Beichenâs flesh.
The first instinct of any living being when attacked was to protect their head.
A Half-God was no exception.
Since Yan Three had chosen to attack Mo Beichenâs head, it meant he was enduring twice as much energy as Yan One and Yan Two.
For a moment, his withered body warped and trembled like water ripples. Then, with a heart-wrenching howl, his body literally ripped in half as he was sent flying away from Mo Beichenâs head.
âOLD GHOST!!!â
Yan One and Yan Two wailed on top of their lungs. The three Yama Ancestors had lived together for eight hundred thousand years, and to watch Yan Three being torn in half was like being torn in half themselves.
âAAAAAAAAAAAAAH⊠SAVE⊠MASTER!â Yan Three screamed on top of his lungs.
The ancestorâs Yama Devil powers shouldâve faded the moment his body was ripped apart, and his death was all but certain. Perhaps it was because his resolve was too great, but not only did he manage to hold onto his power, it actually surpassed his greatest limits in an instant. It was a miracle.
Bringing his final strength to bear, Yan Three turned his upper torso around and threw himself at Mo Beichenâs head once more.
He summoned a Yama claw, screamed like a banshee, and stabbed it right through Mo Beichenâs eyes.
Some things did not change no matter what power level you were. Even for a Half-God, the eyes were still the most vulnerable part of their body.
The Yama claw was infused with the full power of Yan Threeâs faith and despair. For the first time since Mo Beichen set foot in this world, he let out a bloodcurdling scream.
This was the moment Chi Wuyao had been waiting for. Her dark eyes flashed black in an instant.
The five ancestors were formidable, but quantity usually fell short of quality when it came to realm levels, even if they were aiming to bridge the chasm for only a moment. However, they had one trump card that was even higher than Mo Beichenâs powerâher Nirvana Devil Emperor Soul!
There was no better timing than this.
The Nirvana Devil Emperor Soul stabbed into Mo Beichenâs soul sea with every ounce of power Chi Wuyao could muster.
At this stage, Mo Beichen had been discombobulated by the Brahma Ancestorsâ final flash, struck in the head, weakened, put off balance, attacked by dark energy, stabbed in the eyeâŠ
And finally, invaded by the Devil Queenâs Nirvana Devil Emperor Soul!
There were few things in the Primal Chaos that could threaten a Half-Godâs soul, and it so happened that an ancient Devil Emperorâs soulâeven if it was barely a shade of its former selfâwas one of them. A devilish scream resounded in Mo Beichenâs soul sea, andâ
âGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!â
The manâs soul sea crumbled instantly. It only lasted for a few moments, but his clarity of mind and sanity were utterly destroyed in that moment.
When the mind was taken out of the equation, and instinct was all the body had left to rely on, the first thing it would do after being stabbed in the eye and attacked inside the head, was to cover up these sensitive body parts with its hands.
Mo Beichen was not an exception.
Finally, after all the sacrifices they had made up until this point, he let go of Yun Cheâs neck to protect his eyes in a panic.
Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu were already stardust at this point. Yan One and Yan Twoâs internal organs were a pile of goo, and Yan Three was literally ripped in half. They were dead men walking, and the moment they completed their mission was most likely the moment they passed on to the other world.
The five ancestors had given their all for this very moment.
When Yan One saw through his blood-drenched eyes that Mo Beichen had let go of Yun Che, he immediately let out a ghastly screech, grabbed his master with his broken hand, and pushed him far, far away from the Half-God.
Shui Meiyin had never been so focused and clear-headed in her life. She hadnât even made a sound since the rescue began.
This whole time, the World Piercer had been shining the purest crimson between her fingers.
The moment Yun Che escaped Mo Beichenâs grip, the crimson glow immediately surged toward his location before teleporting him away from the Half-Godâs forcefield.
There was another crimson flash, and he reappeared right next to her.
Qianye Yingâer immediately threw her arms around Yun Che and hugged him with everything she got. She couldnât stop trembling the entire time.
This time, she had been less than a hair away from losing him forever.
It was a kind of fear she never, ever, ever wished to relive again.
Yun Che wasnât moving at all. His meridians and bones were completely broken, and his body was cracked all over the place. It seemed like he was conscious because his eyes were half-open, but in reality he had passed out a moment ago.
Any other Divine Sovereign wouldâve died from this level of injuries already.
âGo!â Chi Wuyao withdrew her soul and uttered in a pained voice.
The crimson light reappeared and enveloped Shui Meiyin, Chi Wuyao, Qianye Yingâer, Mu Xuanyin, Caizhi and Yun Che.
Then they were gone, away from this space of nightmare and despair, away from the dying suns of the Brahma, and away from the howls that seemed to hail from purgatory itself.
