Chapter 1847: Eternal Darkness of Blood and Soul (Part 2)

A fierce, bloody battle raged before the Canglan King's Palace. Yet, the three Divine Emperors — Chilong, Huilong, and Wanxiang — could not approach the palace from beginning to end. Instead, they were driven further and further away by the dark Divine Oracle, which emitted terrifying black light, gradually pushing them beyond the Canglan Divine Realm's boundaries.

Qianye Ying'er's berserk state lasted far longer than the three Divine Emperors had anticipated. But now, it had finally reached its limit.

In an instant, the black light on the Divine Oracle dimmed, and Qianye Ying'er's wildly fluttering black hair settled.

She froze in mid-air as the terrifying dark aura around her suddenly gushed out like a tide. The black light in her pupils also gradually dispersed, and she seemed to lose all consciousness at that moment, falling limply from the sky.

The three Divine Emperors were covered in injuries, and the dark profound energy lingering on their bodies was incredibly difficult to dispel, causing bone-piercing pain. Watching Qianye Ying'er's aura dissipate and her delicate body fall, they all gasped sharply.

Divine Emperor Wanxiang gritted his teeth and was about to charge down, but Divine Emperor Chilong grabbed him, exclaiming, "The Dragon Monarch ordered us to break the barrier first! Yun Che must be inside!"

"Go!" Divine Emperor Huilong summoned a storm and charged directly towards the Canglan King's Palace.

It was conceivable that with the addition of these three Divine Emperors from the Western Region, the defense of the Canglan King's Palace would face immense pressure.

"Wanwu, Wanlie... kill her!"

With that command, Divine Emperor Wanxiang and Divine Emperor Chilong also unleashed their full speed and rushed towards the Canglan King's Palace. At the same time, two Wanxiang Divine Masters flew down from nearby, carrying icy murderous intent as they charged towards Qianye Ying'er, who seemed to have lost consciousness.

But just then, Qianye Ying'er's pupils suddenly regained focus, and the black light that had previously dispersed completely instantly re-coalesced, as dark as an abyss.

Divine Emperors Chilong, Huilong, and Wanxiang suddenly felt a chill down their spines. They reacted swiftly, turning back abruptly... Suddenly, their vision collectively went black, and then all light vanished.

A space of three hundred li was engulfed in darkness, with no light remaining.

"What... what's happening!?"

In the darkness, the three Divine Emperors exclaimed in shock, but they immediately realized they couldn't find each other, nor could they even hear their own voices.

They quickly released their profound energy, but they immediately discovered, to their horror, that releasing their power had become exceptionally difficult. Even lifting an arm required several times the effort, as if they had fallen into a thick, endless swamp of darkness.

In the darkness, Qianye Ying'er raised her arm, and the Divine Oracle, briefly silent, once again glowed with dense black light.

This was the Eternal Night Without Light, activated by the Devil Emperor's blood! Within its domain, all light was devoured, along with the spiritual senses, touch, sight, hearing, and smell of all living beings. Under this level of suppression, even the three Divine Emperors of the Western Divine Region could not resist.

The Divine Oracle drew a dark ray, instantly piercing through the bodies of the two Wanxiang Divine Masters before shooting directly towards the three Divine Emperors. Upon touching Divine Emperor Wanxiang, it tightly coiled around him, then continued to extend, firmly entangling Divine Emperor Chilong and Divine Emperor Huilong, before violently tightening.

In the dark swamp, the three Divine Emperors' spiritual senses became exceptionally sluggish, and their power release was also extraordinarily slow. Not one of them avoided the Divine Oracle coiling around their bodies.

However, they possessed the power of Divine Emperors after all. Divine Emperor Huilong and Divine Emperor Chilong, in particular, had powerful dragon bodies. Under their desperate struggles, the Divine Oracle cut through profound energy and flesh, but when it reached their bones, its tightening slowed to an extreme crawl.

In the darkness, drops of blood slowly fell from the corners of Qianye Ying'er's lips, and her face turned paler and paler.

The previous dissipation of power was not an illusion.

After all, the Devil Emperor's blood had perfectly fused with her body. When her body was nearing its limit of endurance, the power of the Devil Emperor's blood naturally retracted to protect its host, yet Qianye Ying'er forcibly released it again.

She had previously endured the Devil Emperor's power with her body.

Now, she was releasing it entirely at the cost of her life.

The outpouring of her life force and profound energy was so intense that she could clearly feel it. The drops of blood between her teeth gradually turned into a flow, yet she continued to almost frantically squeeze out the last of the Devil Emperor's blood's power.

How much she wanted to sever the bodies of these three Divine Emperors... But she knew it was a hopeless wish. Yet, at the very least, she had to use the Divine Oracle in her hand to lock them here, ensuring they couldn't approach the King's Palace by even half a step... even if it meant burning away her last shred of life.

Bang!!

Before the Canglan King's Palace, the third barrier shattered.

Long Bai watched the Canglan King's Palace, enveloped in a bloody aura, from afar. He still did not make a move, for the sight before him filled him with too much intoxication.

Yet, within this intoxication, there was a touch of regret.

What a tragic defense, what pathetic struggles, what a desperate situation. If only Yun Che could witness it himself, what a pity... what a deep pity.

Dragon Queen... soon, I will prove to you that your choice was wrong, truly wrong.

How could he be worthy of you... He doesn't even have the right to meet your gaze!

Before the Canglan King's Palace, all the Northern Region profound practitioners, relying on the barrier behind them, were injured without exception.

Yan Yi, Yan Er, and Yan San alone faced the two Withered Dragon Venerables and the three Dragon Gods: Qingyuan, Fei, and Biluo. Although they struggled immensely, they were surprisingly the most stable defensive front among all sides.

However, no matter how perilous or exposed other areas became, they absolutely could not be distracted to provide aid. This was because the power of the Withered Dragons and Dragon Gods was most fatal to the barrier, and they had to desperately seal it off with power beyond their own limits.

To the south, nearly half of the hundred Primordial Dragons had been lost. Mixed with the destroyed main dragons, their shattered dragon bones and dragon corpses lay steeped in dragon blood, like a blood-drenched purgatory.

A large number of the Northern Region's high-ranking Realm Kings and Divine Master Elders had also fallen. They could instantly recognize the dark aura of their own kind; their comrades were either in pools of blood, or as skulls beneath their feet, or as severed limbs flying through the air...

One step back meant the netherworld. They had already transformed into fiends, using their power and lives to obliterate every approaching enemy.

Water light bloomed as Shui Yingyue's Yaoxi Sword danced. With a move called "Luminous Sky Attraction," she spread a magnificent water curtain, directing the power of two main dragons towards each other.

Amidst a tremendous roar, two main dragons shrieked in agony and fell simultaneously. But she could no longer resist the power of the third main dragon; she was violently knocked down from the sky, her blue robes stained with blood.

"Cough... cough cough..."

She clutched her chest, looking at the blood-stained land and sky. Her clear eyes, however, held a determination completely at odds with her cold, serene face.

As the Glazed Light Realm King, a mid-stage Divine Master who achieved her power only three thousand years ago, she was undoubtedly one of the most prominent women of her time... Yet in this battle, her power was so weak and helpless.

"Meiyin... you must not die..."

She whispered, then stood up, charging skyward again, unleashing the sky-blue water essence of the Glazed Light Realm upon the most tragic battlefield in the history of the God Realm.

Boom—

Wave after wave of immense Divine Master power slammed into the barrier. If this weren't a dark barrier forged by the combined might of the Northern Region's top Divine Masters, it would have surely collapsed in an instant.

It is easy to attack a city, but difficult to defend one, especially a barrier that can be attacked from all directions. Even if the Northern Divine Region had twice as many Divine Masters, they couldn't block all the incoming power.

Each booming sound was undoubtedly a blow to the heartstrings of the Northern Region profound practitioners.

Yan Tianxiao's hands and face were covered in blood. His fingers, like ghostly hooks, pierced, tore, and blasted away Western Region Divine Masters one after another, while countless wounds erupted across his own body.

The blood hole in his chest, inflicted by Long Bai, had long since completely burst open, and blood splattered with every release of his power, yet he was completely oblivious.

Buzz!!!

As two of his teeth broke, his raised arms firmly seized two level ten Divine Master Chilongs. But from behind, another desperate explosion resounded.

The bodies of two Yan Devils slammed heavily onto the already cracked barrier, and the lingering aftermath of the attack shattered the fourth barrier.

"Ughhh!!"

Yan Tianxiao's eyes were bloodshot, and black light exploded around him, blasting the two Chilongs far away. He abruptly turned around, about to let out a furious roar, but he watched helplessly as a Yan Devil's power disintegrated, his body severely wounded, from resisting the dragon aura of the three Dragon Monarchs. Then, the White Rainbow Dragon God's claw pierced through his heart... his internal organs utterly destroyed.

His vision blurred... Of the ten Yan Devils who once proudly dominated the Northern Region, only four remained.

At that moment, the battlefield's light suddenly brightened slightly.

Streaks of light suddenly pierced into the world of Eternal Night Without Light.

The moment light intruded, the entire dark world began to violently collapse.

The three Divine Emperors' spiritual senses quickly recovered, and the pressure on their bodies sharply decreased. They exchanged glances, and three streams of Divine Emperor power were released simultaneously.

Boom—

The vibrating dark world shattered like a bubble. The Divine Oracle wrapped around them was easily shaken off and sent flying... The black light on it quickly faded, instantly returning to its original radiant gold color.

As the darkness faded, just a few li away, Qianye Ying'er's figure slowly fell. There was no trace of blood on her face, and no dark light or aura on her body. Even her long hair, as she fell, shed its blackness and returned to gold.

Wanwu, Wanlie... these two Wanxiang Divine Masters, whom Divine Emperor Wanxiang had previously ordered to kill Qianye Ying'er, had already turned into two charred corpses on the ground.

On the three Divine Emperors' bodies, there were black marks, one after another, that constantly inflicted soul-piercing pain. Especially around their waists, where a full inch of flesh was missing, revealing charred bones, a truly terrifying sight.

Qianye Ying'er crashed heavily to the ground, but she was not unconscious. Her fingers clutched the dry, cold ground, and her arms twitched with tremors, as if she was desperately trying to stand up... But her aura was as frail as a duckweed.

"That demoness!!" Divine Emperor Wanxiang clenched his fingers, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Glancing at Qianye Ying'er's state, Divine Emperor Chilong said coldly, "So she paid the price of burning her life force, no wonder... Hmph!"

"Her profound energy is almost depleted; we don't even need to lift a finger, she'll die very soon on her own," Divine Emperor Huilong said, not forgetting to sigh with regret. "The Brahma Emperor Goddess, who was as famous as the Dragon Queen... tsk, what a true pity."

"Divine Emperor!!" From afar, the sudden screams of the Brahma Kings resounded.

Subsequently, all remaining Brahma Kings disregarded everything else and rushed forward with all their might.

"Go!" Too lazy to bother with these Brahma Kings, the three Divine Emperors charged directly towards the Canglan King's Palace. Before even reaching it, they brought three waves of immense pressure upon the Northern Region profound practitioners, who were engaged in a desperate struggle, pushing them into even deeper despair.

Her blurring consciousness still perceived the approach of six Brahma King auras. Qianye Ying'er struggled to lift her head, and a weak yet sinister voice escaped her lips: "Don't... come here! Guard... the barrier!"

The Brahma Kings' steps faltered slightly. The Third Brahma King stammered, "But, Divine Emperor, you..."

"Whoever dares to approach... I'll kill him!" Pain flickered across Qianye Ying'er's pale face, yet she still gritted her teeth and growled, "Scram!"

The Third Brahma King gritted his teeth fiercely, then turned and roared, "Obeying the Divine Emperor's command, return and defend the barrier!"

With no choice, the six Brahma Kings, covered in bloodstains and exhaustion, re-entered the fray from behind, fighting their way back into the heart of the Canglan battlefield.

After roaring the word "Scram," Qianye Ying'er's head slumped, and not a shred of strength remained in her body.

Her consciousness drifted away. She knew that the moment her world became completely blank, it would be the end of her life.

Yun... Che...

In her increasingly blurry world, only that one name remained so clear.

I had originally thought... even if I died... it would at least be in your arms... by your side...

Even... if I were killed by you...

But...

It's true, isn't it... How could someone like me, covered in sins... deserve... a peaceful end...

How could I... have my wish...
