Chapter 929: Sever the Heavens (2/2, Requesting Moon Tickets)

At that time, Fang Yue had heard through the parchment the secret message transmitted by the Moon Lord's Curse, under the command of Wanfa Xianren.

Although he only caught fragments like "【Heaven's Shackles】," that single moment was enough for the system to kick him out of the game.

Only after that did his in-game character get killed, and only then did danger strike him in reality.

Fortunately, through "【Time Rewind】," he forcibly reset everything to the past, making the system unable to detect any anomaly, restoring the data to its normal state.

The system…

Fang Yue's expression turned grim.

Back then, in Gu Yue Cun, he had seen how the Nomads were born.

But at that time, he hadn't yet connected the game to reality.

Now, looking back, the Nomads seemed to be created by some entity—through the Game Watch as a medium, souls were injected into their bodies.

And behind it all, it seemed the system was pulling the strings.

"Cheater… system… Tengli Group…"

Fang Yue pondered, but the steadily declining Curse Value forced him to temporarily halt his thoughts.

【ohhhhh! Roar! Roar! Roar!】

【Fang Yue, look! We're back! We're back in the game!】

【The great and noble Parchment Lord is omnipotent!】

The parchment now emerged again from his mind—it had been too afraid to surface when re-entering the game earlier.

Now that Fang Yue had dealt with the others and nothing had happened, it finally dared to peek out.

Ignoring the proud girl in his mind, barefoot on the pink bed, puffing out her tiny chest in triumph, Fang Yue looked up at the sky.

Night Rain still fell, thunder still flashed; after a moment's thought, Fang Yue's dark eyes slowly filled with black, as if concentrating immense Curse Power into his gaze.

"Parchment, do you think… we might be able to sever the Gui Curse?"

【Sever the Gui Curse? Fang Yue, what nonsense are you spouting? How can you cut something invisible and intangible like the Gui Curse?】

"The thing is… I think I can see it."

【See it?!】

The parchment froze.

The Gui Curse is a uniquely peculiar phenomenon.

Its varieties and numbers are countless—some lethal, some troublesome, some persistent, some harmless, and so on.

But Fang Yue's Gui Curse—the Uyu Clan's Gui Curse—is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous, life-threatening special curses.

Even across all of Qing Guo, no one can cure it.

Let alone see it—or sever it.

【The great and noble Parchment Lord is confused! Confused and bewildered!】

"I mean literally—I saw faint threads of the Uyu Clan's Gui Curse when I concentrated immense Curse Power into my eyes. It was extremely weak, barely perceptible, but I did see them. If I can observe these threads, then logically, there's a chance I can cut them, isn't there?"

【Paper looks up at the sky! Paper is lost! Paper knows nothing! Because Paper can't see it! Stupid Fang Yue! Stupid Fang Yue!】

"Can't see it… fine, just lend me your power!"

【!!!】

【No! Your body has already transformed too much—lending you more power might kill you for real!】

In a life-or-death emergency, the parchment wouldn't mind lending Fang Yue power—after all, through him, the parchment had gained many benefits, absorbed vast energy, and grown significantly stronger; lending power was no issue.

But the problem is, Fang Yue's body can barely withstand another round of power at this level.

"That doesn't make sense—I'm getting closer to Rain Rank. According to your earlier words, the side effects should be decreasing as I grow stronger."

【That was before! While you were leveling up, I, your parasite, was secretly feeding on you—so I got stronger too! Stronger! Now, to use my power, you must become even stronger to bear the cost!】

Fang Yue weighed the pros and cons, then quickly abandoned the idea of borrowing the parchment's power.

"Then… I'll test it myself first!"

Fang Yue now possessed half-step Rain Rank Curse energy!

He'd considered borrowing the parchment's Rain Rank power because he feared his own strength was insufficient to sever the Gui Curse, and because he thought his current level could handle the parchment's power without issue.

But now it seemed he still fell short.

Rain Rank—only at Rain Rank could one truly wield the parchment's power without restriction!

【Exactly! Only Rain Rank qualifies you to truly control me! If you ever reach that level, my power will surpass your wildest imagination! Huhuhu!】

Hearing this, Fang Yue's heart stirred.

So… the power the parchment currently lends me isn't even its limit?

Thinking deeper, every time the parchment lent power, it always ended with the parchment collapsing into unconsciousness after exhausting its strength—never had it truly unleashed its full potential.

Add to that the fact that in reality, the Alliance had classified the parchment as Transcendent Rank, not Rain Rank—Fang Yue's imagination ran wild, and his expectations for the parchment rose.

【Huhuhu! You can always trust the great and noble Parchment Lord!】

Fang Yue let the parchment's words flow in one ear and out the other.

Black blood seeped from his eyes, black veins crawling across his eyeballs—his eyes could barely hold any more Curse Power.

At that moment, Fang Yue moved.

Boom—

The ground exploded violently; simultaneously, Fang Yue's single wing unfurled, the Black Wheel blazed like a black moon, emitting blinding black light, and his entire body became a black line, shooting straight into the sky!

Violent pale-red Blood Rain stabbed at him like sharp needles, swiftly neutralized by the black aura swirling around him.

Beneath the blinding flash of thunder, Fang Yue raised his sword with both hands.

The inner force of the Frozen Heart Method surged wildly; the Curse Spirit Root's power—thick, dense black energy—converged upon the blade.

The Heaven Sword shrieked with piercing resonance; the Ice-Cutting Sword Art slashed toward the faint, barely visible thread of the Gui Curse—visible only through maximum concentration of his gaze.

The pale-red Li Rain seemed to sense some crisis, and actually shifted from pale red to blood red, gradually transforming toward the legendary Blood Rain!

But it was already too late!

Fang Yue's sword had already been unleashed!

Hum!!!

In that instant, a sword-hum that nearly pierced the clouds echoed across the entire sky above Jingcheng.

The Empty Ice Sword Art and the eerie power seemed to become entangled in some manner, madly draining the yang-years from Fang Yue's body.

Fueled by the wildly burning yang-years, the two seemed to merge even more tightly, almost becoming one, their power surging madly!

The compressed, extreme violent force made even the Heaven Sword vibrate at a high frequency, unable to bear the burden!

Accompanying this unstoppable slash of the sword! The formless sword-intent fully materialized into substance, forming an incomparably enormous pitch-black sword that cleaved the heavens in one strike!

"This sword is called 【Sky-Severing】!"

Boom!!!!

A sound nearly as violent as thunder shook the entire Jingcheng.

Everyone nearby looked up, searching for the source, and saw high in the sky that the black cloud of blood-colored rain was cleaved in two by an incomparably enormous pitch-black sword, after a pause of less than a single second.

Rumble!!!

The black cloud, split in two, exploded apart with a roar, transforming into fierce, surging waves of air that scattered and blasted outward in all directions.

The sword broke, the clouds parted!

The sky brightened.
