Chapter 365: Creating a World with You

Indeed, Xu Yang's soul world possessed the purest inheritance essence unique to the Asura. Guided by this aura, a certain power deep within the earth veins was swiftly awakened, providing an incredibly strong feedback within Xu Yang's soul world.

"Found it!"

Wushuang immediately went to Xu Yang's side. In their state of soul resonance, the two quickly exchanged the restless aura of their soul worlds, and Wushuang soon discovered that the energy hidden beneath these earth veins was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

"I have a premonition... Once this seal is opened, the entire Hundred-Chirping Valley will undergo an earth-shattering transformation!"

Xu Yang revealed a smile of anticipation. "This place is vast and sparsely populated, and it's our designated battlefield anyway. Since we've already lured the Shadow Sect here, there's nothing left to worry about."

Wushuang nodded. "Help me a bit, I'll find the entrance. Once the entrance seal is opened, the rest will naturally take care of itself."

This time, Xu Yang opened his soul world a second time, almost without reservation.

The powerful Asura essence surged into Wushuang's soul sea, as finding the entrance was an essential process.

After sensing the overwhelming Asura aura, Wushuang seemed instinctively uncomfortable, but with her profound foundation, she quickly suppressed this feeling of repulsion.

The power of Asura and the power of the Angel merged once more!

Xu Yang was astonished to find that the countless colors within his soul world seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis and sublimation due to the arrival of the Angel's power.

"Found it!"

A golden light apparition materialized out of thin air. Xu Yang immediately rushed to its location; beneath the Angel's feet was the exact spot of the underground palace entrance.

Since there were few people around this area, and most of the Shadow Sect members were exploring deeper within the Hundred-Chirping Valley, no one paid attention to this outer region. Therefore, Xu Yang unhesitatingly summoned his Asura Sword and powerfully slammed it down onto the ground beneath his feet.

Rumble!

Terrifying tremors swept through the surroundings. As the first crack appeared, the black Asura energy within Xu Yang, like a descending demon god, forcefully ripped open a chasm in the earth.

The black mist emanating from deep underground resembled endless blood flowing from the depths of the Hundred-Chirping Valley's earth veins, rapidly engulfing every corner of the valley.

"My Lord, there seems to be movement over there!"

"Order everyone to immediately converge on the black smoke!"

On the other side of the valley, Black Rose and her subordinates immediately reacted and rapidly approached. At this moment, Black Rose was likely more anxious than anyone else. Ever since Xu Yang and Wushuang had given her hope, a greedy sentiment had begun to spread wildly within her. Her craving for the power of inheritance beneath these earth veins surpassed that of anyone else.

Rumble!

As the seal beneath the underground palace disintegrated, the immensely powerful aura pressure virtually forced open the breach.

"No rush. Let's hide first and let those fellows go in and lead the way," Xu Yang said. "There must be countless demonic souls hidden down there, waiting for a bloody feast!"

Wushuang and Xu Yang reached a consensus and quickly withdrew from the spot. Soon after, Black Rose, leading most of the Shadow Sect's formidable members, rushed towards the location.

"Such dense phantom energy... My Lady, shall we..."

"Go down."

Black Rose uttered only these two cold words, completely disregarding the lives of her Shadow Sect subordinates.

It was well known that during regular missions, she always instructed her subordinates to value their lives, emphasizing that missions could be retried if they failed, but if lives were lost, everything would be over. The Shadow Sect itself had strict screening processes and was known for its highly efficient and safe operations.

But this time, with the abyss of desire opened, Black Rose's demeanor had completely changed. For her, even sacrificing the entire Shadow Sect today would be worth it if it meant gaining the powerful Asura inheritance of the Flame Kingdom.

As for these subordinates, they could easily become her stepping stones, and no one would know how they died here.

"They are merely demonic souls, not true living beings," she said. "As long as you are careful, there will be no problem. Just explore a path, and then I will go down myself. You don't need to risk your lives."

"Yes, My Lady..."

The Shadow Sect's formidable members understood that defying Black Rose meant immediate death. However, if they went down, they might stumble upon unexpected gains.

Driven by this line of thought, everyone began to line up, gradually delving deeper into the entrance of the underground palace.

Roar!

Suddenly, an incredibly powerful roar erupted from deep within the underground palace. Almost without a single cry of pain, an entire squad of leading experts was reduced to piles of white bones, utterly perishing inside.

"Don't panic! Continue deeper and clear a path for me!"

Black Rose's voice continued to resonate. When everyone around her had descended into the cave, and only her archer guard remained, Black Rose suddenly acted, temporarily sealing the entrance with the power of a magic array.

"My Lady, this is..."

Black Rose sneered. "Within the Shadow Sect, you are the only one I truly trust. Once they all die, you and I can exclusively share this inheritance power. Those black auras below will give birth to phantom power, and upon entering, fresh blood will certainly be needed to sacrifice to those phantoms. These people are all cannon fodder; only you are the one who can accompany me to the very end."

The archer, who was one of Black Rose's followers and admirers and would never betray her, merely let out a soft sigh.

"It seems you've decided to replace the new king and become the master of the continent."

Black Rose smiled. "Then you will be second to none, above all living beings. Isn't becoming a true Archery God your dream?"

"No," the archer replied, "my dream is to help you achieve yours. As for anything else, I don't care."

The conversation between the two was naturally overheard by Xu Yang and Wushuang. It seemed that whenever their opponents revealed their true emotions, Wushuang became particularly restless.

"I say," Xu Yang mused, "we've both been through a lot, so why are you still so sensitive?"

Wushuang understood what Xu Yang was referring to, and her cheeks immediately flushed upon hearing his words.

"Oh, please!" she retorted. "I just think that perhaps in this world, compared to fame, fortune, and status, what's truly hardest to let go of always comes down to emotion."

Xu Yang nodded in agreement. "You're right. Emotion is the root of all attachments. Where there is emotion, there are attachments, and thus the concept of being unable to let go. If a person can truly be heartless and ruthless, then they will have no taboos. Naturally, everything in this world would become inconsequential to them."
