Chapter 745: Eternal Night Illusion Demon Tome?

The two figures, one ahead of the other, rapidly plunged deeper into the Divine Realm at a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people.

To prevent the residual profound energy from their battle from affecting Flowing Cloud City, Yun Che put as much distance between them as possible. They traveled from one hundred li to two hundred, then three hundred… Looking back, the coastline had completely vanished from sight.

After a full six hundred li, Yun Che finally stopped.

This was an area with numerous islands, where countless reefs and small landmasses dotted the horizon. Here, the sea breeze was no longer gentle; the waves below surged, and the wind howled around them, whipping their hair loose and making their clothes snap loudly.

“This will do,” Yun Che said, turning to face Fen Juechen. In this location, he could unleash his full power without restraint.

“You’ve found yourself a fitting grave!” Fen Juechen’s dark eyes, almost entirely black, emanated a demonic, sinister glow. Throughout their journey, his malevolence and killing intent, locked onto Yun Che, had not diminished for a single moment, making Yun Che, who was flying ahead, feel as if a dark blade was pressed against his back the entire time.

“It seems you’re quite confident you can kill me today.” Yun Che’s hair tie had been blown loose, his black hair scattering freely in the strong sea breeze. Yet, unlike Fen Juechen’s somber aura, Yun Che exuded an air of carefree elegance.

“All seventy thousand members of my Burning Heaven Clan… my father, my master, my grandfather… they all died by your hand! My vengeance against you, my hatred for you, is irreconcilable! To kill you, I’ve endured a hell you could never imagine!”

“One of the reasons I’m still desperately alive is to tear you into a thousand pieces! Today, not only will I make you pay for your blood debt, but I will also make you taste all the suffering I’ve endured!!”

Fen Juechen roared, his face a terrifying grimace, as a layer of black energy rippled agitatedly around his body.

“Hell you can’t imagine?” Yun Che sneered. “In front of me, no one is worthy of mentioning the word ‘hell,’ and you are even less so! The people I’ve killed in this lifetime are far more numerous than those you’ve ever seen. A mere Burning Heaven Clan of seventy thousand, I’ve almost forgotten it. It’s just that when I used to kill, I always rooted out the problem completely to prevent future trouble.”

“As for you, if my little aunt hadn’t pleaded for your life back then, your bones would likely have long since turned to dust. You show no gratitude for me sparing you; instead, you arrive with baffling confidence, claiming you’ll kill me. Hahahaha, after several years, you’ve made no progress at all! You’re still just an arrogant, boastful, pathetic idiot who thinks nothing of others!”

Hmm? One of the reasons he’s still alive?

Does he have others he intends to kill?

The strong sea breeze suddenly stilled, and the churning sea surface completely ceased. The entire world abruptly plunged into a terrifying silence, not a single sound remaining. Black energy, almost reaching the sky, surged from Fen Juechen’s body, and his eyes were as black as endless abysses… Yun Che’s words were utterly malicious, causing Fen Juechen’s already profound killing intent and hatred to burn and boil madly!!

“Hong’er, get ready for a fight,” Jasmine whispered from within the Sky Poison Pearl to the soundly sleeping Hong’er. She then watched the outside world with interest, murmuring to herself, “He’s deliberately provoking Fen Juechen, and Fen Juechen is, as expected, easily enraged.”

Clang!!

A red light flashed in Yun Che’s hand as the Heaven Punishing Sword materialized. The moment he grasped it, his arms suddenly dropped, and if he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, he would have lost his balance and plunged into the sea.

“!#￥…” The Heaven Punishing Sword in his hand had dramatically increased in weight, and the sword's aura and vermillion glow it emitted were subtly different. The moment the blade appeared, it exuded a magnificent aura, like a storm brewing or a tumultuous ocean. However, inside the pearl connecting the blade and the hilt, a tiny girl sleeping in a most un graceful posture significantly diluted this earth-shattering presence.

“Hong’er, did you sneak food again?!” Yun Che roared mentally. The Heaven Punishing Sword was over a hundred thousand jin heavier than the last time he summoned it, and its sword intent was so powerful it was almost beyond his control… He was certain that Hong’er had not only snuck food, but a great deal of it!

“Woof…” As if hearing Yun Che’s roar, Hong’er whimpered in her sleep but didn’t wake. She merely shifted position and continued slumbering.

“…” Yun Che was now absolutely certain Hong’er had snuck a lot of food… because she always slept for a long time after eating her fill.

Crackle!!

A bolt of black lightning crackled through Fen Juechen’s hand, and a long sword, entirely black and wreathed in an eerie dark glow, was gripped tightly. “Yun… Che… I want you… to die without a complete corpse!”

“Just you?” Yun Che sneered, a look of profound disdain on his face. He glanced at the black sword in Fen Juechen’s hand, then simply swung his arm, retracting the Heaven Punishing Sword—and with it, Hong’er—back into the Sky Poison Pearl.

“This low-grade King Profound Sword is your weapon? Heh…” Deep mockery, disdain, and even pity were clearly etched on Yun Che’s face. “Such trash, I usually can’t even be bothered to look at it, yet it seems to be your most prized weapon. How pathetic. So pathetic that I’d be embarrassed to use my Heaven Punishing Sword against you… that would simply be too much bullying.”

Facing Fen Juechen’s earth-shattering hatred and fury, Yun Che seemed to find it insufficient, mercilessly stinging and humiliating Fen Juechen’s already volatile nerves and soul with malicious words. Yun Che not only put away the Heaven Punishing Sword but also significantly reined in his aura. He then extended a finger toward Fen Juechen, beckoning him with utter contempt: “With your broken sword, I’d be too embarrassed to fight you with the Heaven Punishing Sword; it would feel like bullying. Since you’re so desperate to kill me, I’ll give you ample opportunity today!”

“I’ll give you four hours!” Facing Fen Juechen’s completely distorted face, Yun Che smiled, extending four fingers. “You heard right, a full four hours! During this time, I won’t retaliate, nor will I flee. You can attack me however you wish. Let me see if, in these four hours, with me not fighting back at all, you have the ability to kill me!”

“And if you can’t even kill me like this…” Yun Che’s smile turned sarcastic and contemptuous. “Then don’t ever show your face in front of me again; you’ll only be disgracing yourself!”

Boom!!

Behind Fen Juechen, a towering wave of furious water surged skyward, reaching a hundred zhang high. In just a few short years, through the fusion of souls, his profound energy had skyrocketed from the Spirit Profound Realm to the Sovereign Profound Realm. He had been utterly convinced that killing Yun Che now would be effortless… his only consideration was how to make Yun Che suffer the most agonizing death, enduring at least a thousand tortures and ten thousand pains.

Yet, finally facing Yun Che, what he saw on the other’s face was not fear or pleading, but rather the very disdain and mockery he abhorred most in his life.

“You… will… regret… every… single… word… you’ve… uttered!!”

Every word from Fen Juechen’s mouth was sinister, as if originating from the deepest hell. Endless hatred and killing intent completely saturated every cell, every drop of blood, every fiber of his soul! The very instant his voice ceased, the sky abruptly grew dim.

“Oh?” Yun Che instinctively looked up.

The previously clear blue sky visibly darkened, and heavy shadows slowly pressed down from all directions, as if a dark demon god was silently devouring the entire world.

“What’s going on?”

The astonishing change sent a tremor through Yun Che’s heart. Three months ago, he and Fen Juechen had only exchanged blows briefly, and while the sky had also darkened slightly then, it was nothing compared to this vast difference!

Fen Juechen’s power was exceptionally unique; Yun Che had long been prepared for it. But he never expected that Fen Juechen, unleashing his full strength in anger, would trigger such an anomalous phenomenon… one that could truly be called a “celestial anomaly.”

The dense darkness continued to descend, consuming all light, and an unsettling aura permeated the world. The ocean currents surged uneasily, and the waves rolled chaotically. The originally azure sea had strikingly transformed into a complete, inky black, and its churning surface even shimmered with dark light.

“This is!” In Yun Che’s mind, Jasmine’s voice, filled with profound surprise and doubt, resounded.

The scene before her deeply stirred Jasmine’s soul… activating a memory fragment from an ancient Star God! A name… a terrible name that should not exist in this world appeared in her consciousness.

“Devouring Heaven, Eclipsing Sun, Eternal Night without Light… The E-Eternal Night Illusion Demon Scripture!?”

“The Eternal Night Illusion Demon Scripture?” Yun Che was instantly stunned. “Is that the profound art Fen Juechen uses? Have you seen this bizarre profound art in your world?”

“I haven’t seen it… or rather, no one in the entire Primal Chaos should ever have seen it!”

Jasmine’s voice was very low, and Yun Che could clearly feel her overly intense spiritual tremor. Her words left Yun Che feeling baffled.

“Don’t get distracted!” Jasmine suddenly commanded. “Whether that’s the Eternal Night Illusion Demon Scripture or not, I can’t confirm right now. No matter what method you use today, you must defeat him! If you fail, I will personally intervene… I must uncover all the secrets about this person!”

Jasmine’s voice was so heavy it startled Yun Che. He stopped asking questions, knowing now wasn’t the time to press. He swiftly concentrated his thoughts, his profound energy surging throughout his body, and his gaze once again turned to disdain. He slowly said, “Well, come on and attack! Don’t forget, I’ve only granted you four hours. Let me see if you truly have the ability to kill me, or if you’re still just a pure waste, with eyes higher than the sky but hands weaker than mud!”

The darkness continued to spread. Yun Che then realized that behind Fen Juechen, a massive dark vortex had conspicuously appeared. The pitch-black vortex was expanding, incredibly pure in its darkness, like a spatial black hole capable of devouring everything.

“Be careful! This is a dark domain! Either tear it open with full force, or escape as quickly as possible!” Jasmine said in a deep voice. Originally, she hadn’t been particularly concerned about Yun Che and Fen Juechen’s duel; she was merely curious to see what “despicable and shameless” methods Yun Che would employ to win despite the significant power gap.

But now, Fen Juechen, fully enraged and unleashing his full power, had caused an unprecedented spiritual tremor within Jasmine.
