Chapter 528

————————————

: "You idiot..."

The Beast Emperor regained his senses, coughing up blood.

He acted as if he had gone mad.

His right hand grabbed the intestines scattered to the side, tearing at them incessantly.

The intestines could not quite withstand the force, emitting cracking sounds, on the verge of snapping...

: "Had I known you were so honest, I should have cooperated with you back then..."

Regardless of how the Beast Emperor imagined things.

Kuixian did not hesitate in the slightest, resolutely charging toward the Great Emperor Jade Talisman.

Sensing his aura.

The jade talisman amidst the ten thousand miles of white radiance trembled slightly.

It actually changed direction, abandoning the pursuit of Chuxi, and charged straight toward Kuixian.

In the blink of an eye.

Kuixian collided with the Great Emperor Jade Talisman.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Nor were there any violent energy fluctuations.

The entire world seemed to have entered a state of silence...

Only dazzling white fluorescence spilled out in all directions.

The area of coverage grew larger and larger, until finally, the entire Blue Star became a vast expanse of white.

Trillions of living beings lost their voices, and the world fell into absolute stillness.

The white light lasted for a full dozen breaths or so before gradually dissipating.

The Beast Emperor, Chuxi, and Miao Xiaoqi looked toward the place where Kuixian and the Great Emperor Jade Talisman had collided at the very first moment.

The blue sky was still that same blue sky, the azure sea was still that same azure sea, and the clouds were still as soft and fluffy as before.

Whether it was birds and beasts, fish in the sea, or ants in the corners of the land, everything was completely unharmed...

Only the figure of Kuixian was nowhere to be seen.

His aura was completely gone, not even a wisp of ashes remained; he had already been destroyed in both body and soul...

Chuxi pursed his lips, his eyes filled with shock and wonder.

: "Is this the might of a Great Emperor?"

: "What terrifying control."

The battles of experts usually have large movements; the root cause is that their strength is sufficient, and even a tiny bit of energy spilled during combat can be described as world-destroying.

Take Chuxi for example.

When he fought the Beast Emperor earlier, the aftermath sank the coastal continent, and the void was beaten until it collapsed.

He had assumed the power of a Great Emperor would only be more terrifying, yet he had not expected it to be so miraculous...

After obliterating the target, it did not affect the surrounding environment in the slightest.

It is not to say that the means of a Great Emperor lack sufficient power.

Rather, the opponent utilized their power to the extreme; after striking the target completely, not a single bit of energy leaked out...

Just as Chuxi was shocked by the terrifying means of the Great Emperor.

————"No..."

The Beast Emperor roared, sensing the disappearance of the Great Emperor Jade Talisman, his eyes dimming, "Why are you still not dead..."

"I am not reconciled!"

"Why did Kuixian resurrect, why did he intervene to block the disaster for Chuxi..."

: "The Great Emperor Jade Talisman is gone," Chuxi laughed loudly, the stone hanging in his heart finally landing.

Without any hesitation.

He took out the Boundary Gate and threw out tens of millions of Divine Origin Stones.

He twisted the door handle and entered.

One breath later.

He returned to the coast of the Central Continent.

With Golden Dao Patterns densely covering the ground beneath his feet, he teleported in an instant, arriving before the Beast Emperor who was already on the verge of death...

The Beast Emperor's body, which had been split vertically in two, was no longer wriggling; it had become cold and stiff, his eyes dim and hollow as he looked at Chuxi.

: "You... you... how did you do it..."

: "Tell me... otherwise, I will die with regrets..."

Chuxi walked forward, the void above his head twisting.

The Azure Star emerged.

It rotated clockwise.

It cast down wisps of nearly transparent threads, quickly wrapping around the Beast Emperor's remains.

The Beast Emperor did not struggle, nor did he have the strength to struggle anymore; he was wounded too severely, and the time of his demise was right before him.

: "Tell me, why..."

An answer, he only wanted an answer.

He wanted to know how exactly he had failed...

Chuxi lowered his head, his eyes flickering as he looked at him.

With a gentle tone: "Do you want to know?"

"I want to..." The Beast Emperor's vision blurred; his flame of life was nearly extinguished.

: "Sorry, I want you to die a confused ghost, hehe..." Chuxi sneered.

: "You... you..."

*Hiccup—*

The Beast Emperor's eyes rolled back, and just like that, he died, departing in a very restless state.

Before dying, he desperately wanted to say one thing.

————You brat, you are simply not human... When you asked me why I didn't fear the backlash of the Heavenly Dao Oath, I told you the answer very readily. Now, when it's my turn to ask you, you want me to die a confused ghost?

You are truly a damn snake—

Chuxi did not care at all about the final thoughts of a dead man.

He had to hurry and devour the newly deceased Beast Emperor,

to prevent the energy within the other's body from dissipating and returning to the world.

That would be too much of a waste.

He sensed the difference between devouring the dead and the living.

Chuxi frowned.

First, by devouring the dead, he could not obtain the other's memories.

Second, devouring the dead did not provide much of an upgrade to his Unity Dao "Blood River," falling completely short of the effect when an alien cultivator was alive.

He shook his head and sighed softly.

————"I might as well refine the Beast Emperor into blood-colored energy.

————"Perhaps I can even resurrect Kuixian, this free laborer..."

With a thought, he changed the process from devouring to extracting.

The blue stars above his head rotated clockwise....

They were stained with a faint layer of red.

As time passed, the color gradually changed.

It turned from pale red to deep red, and from deep red to purplish-red.

He converted the Beast Emperor into blood-colored energy.

Chuxi did not immediately resurrect Kuixian.

He found the Storage Ring dropped by the Beast Emperor.

From it, he took out a jade box.

Inside was the Stone Tablet held by the Beast Emperor.

He put away the jade box.

He flicked his sleeve.

A slender, curvaceous, and delicate body landed on the ground.

It was the Star God, whose cultivation he had sealed and tucked into his sleeve.

She turned her head to look around.

She saw Chuxi, but did not see the figure of the Beast Emperor.

Her heart could not help but tighten.

: "You killed the Beast Emperor?"

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

If she remembered correctly,

he had sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath not to take action against the Beast Emperor in any form.

How did he manage to do it?

Chuxi squatted down and gently brushed his fingers across her fair left cheek.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

He grabbed her soft, dark hair and roughly pulled her entire body up.

: "Don't be anxious, I'll send you to see him right away...."

The Star God struggled, but it appeared so futile.

Her face was pale, and she bit her lip, attempting to find a way to live: "Chuxi, I can give the Stone Tablet to you...."

Seeing her pitiful appearance,

Chuxi's expression shifted slightly; he pulled her soft hair, bringing her to face him until their faces were only a few centimeters apart, and his pair of narrow, deep eyes sized her up with interest.

Seeing this,

the Star God felt flustered in her heart, yet at the same time, a trace of inexplicable joy arose...

Could it be that this man....

No matter what, as long as I can survive, I am willing to do anything....

She thought to herself secretly.

Chuxi suddenly laughed.

: "You are quite good... you have strength, you have a figure, and you have beauty."

The Star God bit her lip, her star-like eyes looking at Chuxi, "What do you want to do to me...."
