Chapter 1815: Impossible Person

"Ah!" Shui Meiyin gasped. She instinctively stepped forward, but ultimately did not interfere further. Since Yun Che had promised not to kill or cripple her, he would not go back on his word.

Jinyue's face was pale. She couldn't speak, couldn't struggle, and her eyes were gradually losing their luster.

Yun Che's eyes were icy cold. From his hand gripping Jinyue's neck, a black mark instantly spread downwards, reaching her heart and lower abdomen. Then, at the point connecting her heart and lower abdomen, a palm-sized dark totem appeared.

He stared at the dark mark he had left on her, then said coldly, "Is it a disgrace? Then engrave this disgrace deeply into your soul, and never forget it."

His family was destroyed... How could these people remain unscathed?

With that, he released his grip and gently pushed her away.

Jinyue was heavily thrown to the ground. She curled up, frantically casting a layer of moonlight to conceal her body, which had been defiled by the demonic eyes. Yet, the disgrace carved into her soul was destined to remain forever exposed.

"Listen, keep this dark totem well. Do not attempt to dispel it. If one day I, the Devil Master, can no longer sense its presence... your entire clan will be annihilated!"

"This is the greatest forgiveness and grace I, the Devil Master, can bestow upon you!"

"And by the way, here's some advice: it's best you don't seek out any men in this life, or else, should he see this dark mark personally bestowed by me, the Devil Master... Tch!"

Behind him, feeling the dark malice emanating from Yun Che, Shui Meiyin lowered her head, silently biting her lip, biting very hard.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Jinyue clutched her pale neck, coughing painfully, but said nothing more. With her other hand, she secretly pressed against the ground behind her, carefully gripping a small object... holding it tightly, as if afraid it would be discovered.

"Why do you have this bronze mirror?" Yun Che asked, narrowing his eyes. He asked casually, evidently not caring much for the answer.

Important items for profound practitioners of the Divine Way are usually kept in spatial rings or personal dimensions. However, Jinyue wore this one on her person. It was clear that even after being ruthlessly expelled, she still held deep admiration—even attachment—for Xia Qingyue.

Jinyue's whole body stiffened. Her hands gripped the bronze mirror even tighter, but she dared not refuse to answer. She could only speak in a trembling voice, "Master... told me to destroy it... I was afraid that one day Master would regret it, so I secretly kept it..."

And now, it was the only item left beside her that bore Xia Qingyue's mark.

"Then keep it well. I hope that woman's item doesn't bring you too much bad luck," Yun Che said mockingly.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Shui Meiyin said.

Yun Che did not forcibly take or destroy the bronze mirror in her hand. Jinyue's body finally relaxed. She slowly stood up, changed into blue robes, and quickly flew away, carrying the unconscious Wei'er.

As she left, there was no hatred or humiliation in her eyes, only a sense of detachment and dimness.

Serving by Xia Qingyue's side had been the greatest pride of her life. Yet, it was also because she had served Xia Qingyue that she suffered today's humiliation... and even this humiliation was a grace obtained for her by the Goddess Meiyin.

In the night sky she flew into, heartbreakingly scattered stars twinkled.

For her, this day was either liberation or an inescapable nightmare.

Taking a soft breath, Yun Che turned around, his gaze now gentle.

"Brother Yun Che, thank you," Shui Meiyin said softly.

Yun Che shook his head and said, "So, what you wanted to tell me... have you thought it through?"

"Yes, I have," Shui Meiyin nodded vigorously, smiling. "I've decided to tell you after we defeat the Dragon God Realm. But I can promise you now, it's something very good... or rather, a very, very big surprise."

"Good," Yun Che said, not pressing for details. "For this surprise, I will surely crush the Dragon God Realm completely."

"Let's go back to the Azure Sea Realm now," Shui Meiyin said, stepping forward to embrace his arm. "We didn't bring those three strange old grandfathers this time. If we don't go back soon, the Devil Queen and the others will worry."

"Mm." Yun Che looked in the direction Jinyue had left. "Before we go, let's search for any other stragglers. Since Jinyue was here, there might be other remnants of the Moon Gods."

Having said that, he released his divine sense, rapidly scanning the surroundings.

When he had first arrived in the Seven Star Realm, he had only roughly scanned the realm's aura. This time, however, he unleashed his full divine sense, searching meticulously, almost sweeping over every person, every beast, every blade of grass, and every tree.

Shui Meiyin stood quietly beside him, watching his serious expression with unblinking dark eyes.

One breath... two breaths... three breaths...

With Yun Che's current soul power, it wouldn't take long to thoroughly search the entire Seven Star Realm.

Suddenly, Yun Che's body and aura vibrated violently.

The vibration was so intense it was as if he had been struck hard in the chest by a giant hammer.

Shui Meiyin was startled and hastily asked, "What's wrong!?"

"Ah... ah..."

Yun Che opened his eyes, which were shaking violently. From his mouth came confused moans.

"Brother Yun Che... Brother Yun Che!" Shui Meiyin was completely terrified and gripped him tightly.

Given Yun Che's current level of power, Shui Meiyin could barely imagine what could make him suddenly react so terribly.

"No... impossible..."

"Im... pos... si... ble..."

"Im... pos... si... ble..."

He muttered in a daze, his fingers trembling, his aura gradually becoming chaotic... Then, as if waking from a nightmare, profound light burst from his body, and he shot south like a falling meteor.

His uncontrolled burst of power instantly shattered hundreds of miles of ground, knocking Shui Meiyin back several steps.

"Brother Yun Che!" Shui Meiyin cried out, immediately chasing after him.

Yun Che flew incredibly fast. Wherever he went, space fractured and the earth collapsed. Shui Meiyin barely managed to keep up, using almost all her strength.

In the southern region of the Seven Star Realm, a rather fierce battle was unfolding.

An unusually tall and burly young man, resembling a small mountain, was fighting two other people.

He was a profound practitioner of the Divine Way, with a cultivation of Divine Origin Realm Stage Three mid-level. However, both of his opponents were Divine Origin Realm Stage Four practitioners.

The situation of the battle was clear: the burly man had several wounds on his body, and his strength was completely suppressed by his two opponents. Yet, he showed no fear, gnashing his teeth, his attacks growing fiercer with each strike.

Boom!!

With a dull thud, the burly man's attack was shattered. A tremendous force heavily struck his body; blood seeped from between his teeth, but he stubbornly didn't retreat. Immediately, another powerful blow came, directly hitting his waist.

The burly man grunted, flying sideways along the ground, rolling repeatedly for a long time before finally coming to a stop.

"Heh, not bad, tough bones," the Seven Star Realm practitioner who had sent the burly man flying said with a cold laugh, rubbing his slightly aching hand.

"Pity, such tough bones, yet he's eager to become a devil's lackey, tsk," the other Seven Star practitioner said dismissively.

"Argh..." The burly man propped himself up with his hands on the ground, and after gasping for breath, he sharply lifted his head, his eyes fierce like a wild beast's. Even though he had been completely defeated, he still carried an arrogant defiance that would not yield to anyone.

"I'll say this one last time," the burly man stated gravely, "The Yun Che I'm looking for isn't some Northern Region Devil Master you speak of! He's a normal human! He's my brother-in-law!"

"In such a vast world, countless people share similar names. Are your brains so dull that you can't understand common speech, or... are you simply taking this opportunity to bully the weak with your strength!"

"Oh, ho! You dare insult us?" The Seven Star practitioner on the left raised an eyebrow and flexed his wrist with a 'crack.' "Are you trying to ensure you die even more miserably later?"

"By the looks of you, you must be a bumpkin who just climbed up from some lower realm."

The Seven Star practitioner on the right had a scornful look, his posture arrogant like a superior holding the power of judgment. "The person you're looking for might indeed not be that Northern Region Devil Master. But if you dare mention that name in front of us, you must die!"

"That Northern Region Devil Master is an unforgivable demon, cursed by heaven and earth! Now he has stepped into our Southern Divine Region, and as men of the Southern Divine Region, everyone should seek to eliminate him. Anyone who dares to believe in him, surrender to him, or is in any way connected to the Northern Region Devil Master... better to kill by mistake than to let one slip away!"

Having spoken, he lunged forward fiercely, his Divine Origin Realm Stage Four profound energy concentrated in his lower body, bringing down a merciless blow towards the burly man's head... Although he knew perfectly well that this person, clearly fresh from a lower realm, could not possibly have any connection to the Devil Master.

Unfortunately, weakness was a sin.

BOOM—

The burly man raised his arm, his arm muscles bulging as if about to burst, forcefully withstanding the opponent's power.

The anger in his eyes rapidly turned into terrifying brutality, and his voice became incredibly deep: "You... go... too... far!!"

Bang!!

A tremendous force, one that should not have belonged to a Divine Origin Realm Stage Three practitioner, suddenly erupted, sending the Seven Star practitioner, who had been about to mock him from above, violently flying back.

"Ah!"

With a startled yelp, caught off guard, the Seven Star practitioner was thrown heavily to the ground. After tumbling, he stood up somewhat awkwardly. He was about to curse and retaliate... but then, his companion froze alongside him.

The burly man slowly rose from the ground. On his chest, where his profound veins were located, a blindingly intense golden light gleamed diagonally.

The golden light, reflected in their eyes, brought with it a soul-shaking majesty, as if a ten-thousand-pound iron plate had been pressed onto their very spirits.

"Overlord... Overlord... Overlord Divine Veins!?"

Both Seven Star Realm practitioners simultaneously cried out in alarm, as if they had seen ghosts or gods.

The burly man clenched his fists, and the profound light gathering on them now had a faint golden hue, making his fists and arms appear as if forged from profound gold.

"I originally didn't want to expose it," he said, his voice low and each word distinct, his eyes now filled with killing intent. "But you've pushed me this far, so... die!!"

Facing this person from a lower realm, whose profound cultivation was an entire minor realm below theirs, both Seven Star Realm practitioners simultaneously took a step back.

The Overlord Divine Veins, inherited from ancient War Gods, were terrifying profound veins born for battle, for destruction, and for pure, fierce power.

As the primordial qi in the Primal Chaos gradually thinned, the Overlord Divine Veins appeared less and less frequently in the God Realm.

But one thing was always true: those with Overlord Divine Veins would at minimum become a king of a realm! At most, a Divine Emperor of a Royal Realm!

"Wh-what... what do we do?" The Seven Star practitioner on the right spoke with a clear tremor in his voice. They never dreamed that merely bullying a lower-realm bumpkin who foolishly asked about "Yun Che" would lead them to encounter such a legendary prodigy.

The Seven Star practitioner on the left gritted his teeth and whispered, "What else can we do?! We've completely offended him. When he grows, where will our path to survival be?!"

The two exchanged glances, then suppressed their fear. Profound light flashed in their hands as they unleashed their strongest profound artifacts and weapons.

Now, it was no longer a matter of teasing and bullying. They had to kill the man before them, no matter the cost.

Although the legendary Overlord Divine Veins possessed terrifying power to transcend levels, they... had no choice.

Just as terror turned to malice in the two men, an extremely jarring sound of space tearing echoed from afar, instantly drawing near. Then, an icy gale suddenly swept through, and the ground convulsed as if boiling.

"Ugh!!"

With a cry of agony, all three men were simultaneously blasted away by this dark storm, which seemed to descend from the heavens.

In their shock, they twisted and looked up... In their sight, a black figure hovered high in the sky. His arrival caused the firmament to rapidly darken, and all things trembled in cold dread. Their bodies, souls, and hearts felt as if they had been brutally impaled by dark demonic fangs, shuddering madly in an unprecedented, immense fear.
