Chapter 1745: Heavenly Wound Cuts Off All Thoughts (Part 2)

He Ling's figure appeared beside Yun Che. She looked down, and for the first time since her appearance, she remained dazed and silent, not speaking to Yun Che.

She clasped her hands before her chest, and a faint emerald light shone in her palms, revealing the true form of the Sky Poison Pearl.

Compared to twenty years ago when Yun Che awakened in Floating Cloud City, the Sky Poison Pearl was no longer dim. Instead, it overflowed with dazzling emerald brilliance and emitted wisps of divine Sky Poison light, powerful enough to make gods and devils tremble in ancient times.

As the divine Sky Poison light gradually intensified, He Ling's long emerald hair suddenly swayed, and her eyes became increasingly filled with the same divine light.

In that moment, her usual fragile and pitiable demeanor completely vanished. As her gaze slowly lowered, a silent, awe-inspiring power radiated, capable of intimidating the world.

This was the divine might of the Sky Poison, originating from its essence, transcending the level of all living beings in the current era. It was as if an ancient goddess had suddenly descended upon the world, casting a divine light of judgment. Anyone, any living creature, except for Yun Che, would uncontrollably shiver with soul-piercing cold in He Ling's presence at that moment.

When the divine Sky Poison light reached its peak, He Ling's hands finally parted slowly. As her palms lowered, an invisible, shadowless, and silent Sky Poison was mercilessly unleashed.

Its name was Heaven Wounding Soul Severing!

The Heaven Wounding Soul Severing Poison was a name that instilled dread in gods and devils alike during ancient times.

Although its horror was far surpassed by "Myriad Tribulations No Life" when unleashed in conjunction with the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, it was still a potent poison capable of slaying gods.

The original Sky Poison Pearl's spirit had died. Even after retrieving the poison source in the Azure Cloud Continent, the slowly recovering poison power was merely the lowest grade of common poison.

However, ever since He Ling sacrificed herself to become the perfect poison spirit of the Sky Poison Pearl, the pearl was reborn, and its inherent poison, "Heaven Wounding Soul Severing," began to regenerate.

Notably, after beginning dual cultivation with He Ling, Yun Che made no progress in understanding the Law of Nothingness, but He Ling's poison power recovery significantly accelerated.

In this respect alone, he could be considered a living cauldron for He Ling's poison power recovery.

Four years ago, Yun Che had asked Qianye Ying'er, whom he had enslaved with a Soul Seal: Who was it that pursued the Wood Spirit royal family in the Brahma Monarch God Realm back then?

Qianye Ying'er's reply was "I don't know." She also offered her assessment: that person's rank should not have been high; otherwise, the Wood Spirit clan chief and his wife wouldn't have been able to secure He Ling's and He Lin's escape by detonating their Wood Spirit Pearls.

These words were clearly etched in He Ling's heart.

"Not high-ranking," so could they have been outside the royal city? Could it be...

In her memory, there were the lingering glows from her parents' self-detonated Wood Spirit Pearls... one massacred clansman after another... He Lin's heartbreaking cries... and the terrible news that extinguished her last hope.

Her gaze became chaotic, and the Sky Poison Pearl in her hand continued to fiercely unleash its toxic aura. He Ling, usually so docile and never refusing Yun Che, for the first time defied his command. The Heaven Wounding Soul Severing, without pause, rapidly spread and re-spread across the domain outside the Brahma Monarch Capital.

I finally... have the power to avenge...

I finally waited for this day!

My parents' vendetta, my clan's hatred...

They... all deserve to die...

All of them deserve to die!

Her eyes and hands trembled more and more violently. Her delicate face rapidly lost all color, and gradually, her emerald gaze began to turn manic...

Faintly, strands of dark black light, which should never appear on a Wood Spirit—especially a royal Wood Spirit—were intertwined within.

Yun Che sent He Ling back into the Sky Poison Pearl. He then pointed a finger, leaving a faint sound-recording profound array in the air.

With a final glance downwards, a faint cold smirk played on Yun Che's lips, before he flew away, cloaked in stealth.

From beginning to end, the Brahma Monarch God Realm never detected his arrival, nor did they realize that the Brahma Monarch Capital was already engulfed by the terrifying "Heaven Wounding Soul Severing."

An hour later, Yun Che's arrogant voice echoed above the Brahma Monarch Capital: "Qianye Fantian, enjoy this grand gift personally bestowed by this Devil Master, hahahahaha!"

The instant the voice rang out, several figures shot through the air, instantly approaching the location where Yun Che had been. They frowned deeply at the sound-recording profound array that had appeared unnoticed, their expressions growing increasingly grim.

Yun Che had actually come to their Brahma Monarch Capital and even left a profound array, yet none of them had detected him!

How could their hearts not be shaken?

The sound-recording profound array continued to broadcast Yun Che's voice: "However, this Devil Master can grant you a chance to surrender and live—your only chance!"

"But you only have seven days!"

"After seven days, either surrender forever, or... die without a burial place!"

The sound-recording profound array dissipated. The arriving Brahma Kings all frowned deeply, exchanging troubled glances.

At that moment, Qianye Fantian's figure materialized in the air, his face equally grim.
