Chapter 1646: “Calamity Demon Disasters Heaven”

A charming, bone-chilling giggle suddenly echoed from the dim sky. Dark clouds parted, and the figure of the Devil Queen Chi Wuyao slowly descended.

Behind her, two white figures followed in unison.

"Yun Che, you truly are the person this Queen set her sights on. With just a slight display of your power, you've thoroughly intimidated my lovely children into submission."

She landed lightly, her smile behind the black mist as captivating as a demoness.

As she arrived, all the Devil Maidens knelt, bowing respectfully.

Yun Che's gaze fell upon the two white figures behind her.

Their aura, far surpassing that of the six Devil Maidens present and causing Qianye Ying'er's eyes to sharply change at their arrival, along with their identical appearance, directly revealed their identity.

Divine Master Realm Level Ten! The Great Devil Maidens, Jie Xin and Jie Ling, leaders of the Nine Devil Maidens!

Devil Maidens never reveal their true faces, and this had been true for every Devil Maiden Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er had encountered.

However, the two Devil Maidens behind Chi Wuyao were an exception.

They both wore simple white robes, so plain that they had no adornments or patterns, yet their faces were dazzlingly beautiful. Just standing there silently, they transformed the entire world into a breathtakingly exquisite painting.

However, their eyes held no shimmering divine light. It wasn't a chilling frostiness that pushed others away, but a soul-engraved indifference, an apathy towards all beings and things in the world.

Looking directly into their eyes, only Chi Wuyao's figure was reflected in their pupils. It was as if, apart from her, nothing in the world could enter their eyes or hearts.

Twin sisters are not uncommon. And even the most alike twin sisters will always have subtle differences. With a powerful practitioner's sharp spiritual sense, these differences can often be discerned at a glance.

Furthermore, while their outward appearance might be identical, as they grow, their profound cultivation and aura will always exhibit discrepancies and variations. As long as one's spiritual sense is sufficient, discerning them is incredibly easy.

Yet, they not only had identical faces, identical clothing, and identical gazes. Even their life aura and dark aura were perfectly identical!

Even their posture, their footsteps, and their breathing were perfectly synchronized.

Like a mirror reflecting another self.

Qianye Ying'er gazed at the two women for a long time, her brows deeply furrowed. She had seen many twin brothers and sisters, and had always scoffed at the rumor that no one apart from the Devil Queen could distinguish between the two Great Devil Maidens. Only now did she realize that such an incredible phenomenon truly existed in this world.

Shifting his gaze from Jie Xin and Jie Ling, Yun Che let out a cold snort: "I thought you'd never bother to show yourself."

Qianye Ying'er's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and the Devil Maidens were all taken aback. Yun Che's words clearly implied that Chi Wuyao had arrived much earlier.

Chi Wuyao gave a charming smile, not at all surprised that Yun Che had discovered her earlier. "Curiosity and a penchant for secrets are a woman's nature," she said, "and even this Queen is no exception."

"I don't want to waste words," Yun Che said, avoiding Chi Wuyao's gaze and simultaneously trying his best to expel her soul-binding demonic voice from his soul sea. "You know full well why I'm here. Don't waste my time. And my patience is far shorter than you might think!"

Yun Che's words caused the Devil Maidens' expressions to subtly change, and anger flared within them.

No one had ever dared to speak to the Devil Queen like that... never before!

Chi Wuyao's beautiful eyes curved, and she chuckled, "Hehe, what an impatient man."

The indignation on the Devil Maidens' faces all turned into stunned bewilderment.

Despite Yun Che's extremely rude and disrespectful words, Chi Wuyao showed no trace of anger. Even through the black mist, they could feel the charming allure emanating from her smiling face. And her soft, alluring voice made them hear...

A hint of flirtation??

For a moment, they felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.

However, Chi Wuyao's smile slowly receded, and an invisible, soul-shaking pressure enveloped the area, revealing the supreme demonic presence in the eyes of all.

Yun Che's desire for revenge was incredibly strong and urgent. She did not challenge Yun Che's patience further. She said seriously: "You wish to cleanse the three realms with blood, and this Queen wishes to step into the three realms. You possess world-defying techniques, and this Queen possesses the vessels through which you can unleash them. Neither you nor this Queen will find a more suitable collaborator."

The Devil Maidens' gazes sharply turned, their divine light subtly condensing.

With Chi Wuyao's brief statement, they clearly foresaw the drastic shifts in the dark winds and clouds that were about to unfold.

"The Northern Divine Realm is dominated by the Three King Realms. Among these, the Burning Moon Realm and Yama Devil Realm possess supreme control over everything in the Northern Region. They have never had any thought of breaking the current status quo. If this Queen intends to attack the three Divine Regions, they will not only refuse to approve or assist, but will actively obstruct, to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves."

"Therefore, if you and this Queen wish to stir up the dark power of the entire Northern Region, absorbing the Burning Moon Realm and Yama Devil Realm is the indispensable first step."

Though they had always been aware of the Devil Queen's greatest ambition, hearing her state it so abruptly, all the Devil Maidens were profoundly shaken.

Ye Li and Yao Die turned simultaneously, and together they deployed a vast, one-way soundproof barrier.

This was the Soul羅Heaven, a place no one dared to approach uninvited. However, the Devil Queen's words, and what she was about to say, were too world-shaking; not a single trace could be allowed to leak.

"To accomplish this first step, it is clear that my Soul Stealing Realm must possess enough power to overwhelm the Burning Moon Realm and the Yama Devil Realm." Chi Wuyao looked at Yun Che, a smile resurfacing on her face: "You have already proven that you can easily achieve this. You truly are... the Devil Emperor's Eternal Calamity of Darkness."

"..." Listening to Chi Wuyao utter the words 'Eternal Calamity of Darkness,' he felt little surprise.

"Eternal... Calamity of Darkness?" Yu Wu murmured, finding the words incredibly familiar, yet unable to recall them at once... Or perhaps, her subconscious simply dared not approach that impossibly true direction.

"Wait!" Ye Li exclaimed in shock and disbelief: "Master, are you referring to what you once told us sisters... the supreme demonic art unique to the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor among the Four Ancient Devil Emperors... the Eternal Calamity of Darkness!?"

"Oh?" Chi Wuyao turned her gaze slightly, a teasing smile playing on her lips: "Haven't you already witnessed it with your own eyes? In both the present world and ancient times, what else besides the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's Eternal Calamity of Darkness could make Chan Yi undergo such a profound transformation in mere moments?"

"Ah!" Gasps of shock burst uncontrollably from the Devil Maidens' mouths.

Chi Wuyao continued: "Yun Che, with his current cultivation of Level Seven Divine Sovereign, could kill Yan Sanyuan with a single sword stroke, and it wasn't just due to the Heretic God's legacy. He also carries the profound veins and power of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor... specifically, her source blood and source power. How enviable, truly."

The Four Ancient Devil Emperors, the supreme existences of the demonic lineage since the dawn of chaos. They existed only in legends and records, and in the Northern Divine Realm, they were beings beyond faith.

And this Yun Che before them, rumored to carry the Heretic God's legacy, actually inherited the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's power as well. The impact this had on the Devil Maidens was immense.

No wonder he could cause such an inconceivable transformation in Devil Maiden Chan Yi in mere moments... That was the power of a Devil Emperor!

"I will enable them all to perfectly wield dark profound energy," Yun Che said indifferently.

"Not just them." Chi Wuyao's voice closely followed his words: "The main combat forces of the Soul Stealing Realm are the Nine Devil Maidens, twenty-seven Soul Spirits, and three thousand six hundred Soul Attendants. At the very least, this portion is the power you must 'transform' first in the coming period."

This time, even Jie Xin and Jie Ling's eyebrows visibly twitched.

Chan Yi's transformation, even among those at the Devil Maiden level of understanding, was undoubtedly an incredible miracle.

And the Devil Queen's words indicated that she intended to transform all Devil Maidens, and even all Soul Spirits and Soul Attendants, into the fantastical state of perfect harmony with dark profound energy, just like Chan Yi!

Over three thousand people in total... A miracle of such magnitude that even replicating one would be astounding!?

"I can." To their astonishment, Yun Che nodded with almost no hesitation, his indifferent expression and words making it seem as if he was agreeing to a most ordinary trivial matter.

"You know far more about everything in the Northern Divine Realm than I do. So, I will do my best to cooperate with what you propose. But..." Yun Che's tone shifted: "The timing for absorbing the Burning Moon Realm and the Yama Devil Realm will be decided by me!"

"Tell me," Chi Wuyao said.

Yun Che raised his hand, his brow deeply furrowed, and slowly extended three fingers.

"Three... three thousand years?" Seeing Yun Che's extended fingers, Yu Wu unconsciously blurted out.

The Burning Moon Realm and the Yama Devil Realm were colossal powers that had stood in the Northern Divine Realm for hundreds of thousands of years. Absorbing them... what astounding and fantastical words.

Even if the Soul Stealing Realm's core combat forces truly underwent this transformation... could it truly be possible in just three thousand years?

"Good." Chi Wuyao nodded readily, just like Yun Che: "Let's make it three years."

"Three... three years!?"

Ye Li, Yao Die, Qing Ying, Lan Ting, Yu Wu, Chan Yi, and even Jie Xin and Jie Ling, every single one of them could not believe their ears.

That was the Burning Moon Realm! That was the Yama Devil Realm!

The transformation Chan Yi underwent was indeed like a complete rebirth. Given enough time, with the accelerated cultivation speed and vastly increased power ceiling, the Soul Stealing Realm might indeed gain the ability to crush either of the other two King Realms.

However, that process would undoubtedly take thousands of years, or even longer.

Three years? There was not even the slightest possibility.

Chi Wuyao offered no explanation to the Devil Maidens. She suddenly spoke slowly: "Many ancient records have mentioned an interesting fact. Among the Four Ancient Devil Emperors, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor was by no means the strongest in terms of power, yet she was highly respected by the other three Devil Emperors... Indeed, many records clearly describe the word 'respect.'"

"Later, when the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor was ambushed, it provoked the outrage of the other three Devil Emperors and the entire demonic race. This also set the stage early for the subsequent brutal war."

Yun Che: "..."

"The Heaven Smiting Devil Race, led by the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, possessed the mysterious ability to transform into 'Devil God Swords.' Setting aside this unique ability, their power was vastly weaker compared to the supreme demonic races directly led by the other three Devil Emperors."

"If they were to leave the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, their strength would not be much different from ordinary devils."

"However, if the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor was by their side, their combat power could utterly defeat the supreme demonic races led by the other three Devil Emperors."

"It is said that this was due to a special power called 'Calamity Devil Scourge of Heaven.'"

Chi Wuyao looked at Yun Che, her voice becoming exceptionally soft and alluring: "I wonder if this record is true or false?"

Yun Che's brow twitched down slightly, and a sliver of dark light flickered in the deepest part of his eyes. The woman before him was far more terrifying than he had anticipated.

But fortunately, she was an ally, not an enemy... at least for now.

He said in a deep voice: "If I didn't have sufficient means, I wouldn't have come to you this quickly."

"Very good." Having received a satisfactory answer, Chi Wuyao's lips curved even more. "It seems our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Qianye Ying'er frowned... The phrase 'Calamity Devil Scourge of Heaven' was completely new to her, and Yun Che had never mentioned it.

Yet, faced with these strange and mysterious four words from Chi Wuyao, Yun Che actually tacitly agreed!

"You seem to know a bit too much!" Qianye Ying'er said coldly, while secretly shooting Yun Che a sideways glance.

"This is the Northern Region, so naturally, there are far more records concerning the ancient demonic race here than in your Eastern Divine Region," Chi Wuyao said, her face still smiling, then suddenly her beautiful eyes shifted towards the southwest: "Oh? It seems we have guests."
