# Chapter 1529: The Other Shore's Mystic Sound (Part 1)

Blood-red characters slowly spread across the moon-white dress, appearing exceptionally mournful and beautiful.

Xia Qingyue lowered her head slightly, glanced at it briefly, then turned her gaze back—her beautiful eyes still so cold that perhaps they could never again hold the warmth she once inadvertently or dazedly showed when facing him.

The hatred in her words and blood pierced like poisoned blades deep into everyone's soul...

Having earned an incomparably dazzling savior's halo in the God Realm, yet choosing to return to the lower realm with the Evil Infant—one could imagine how attached she was to her home planet.

Today, knowing full well that death was almost certain, he still came without hesitation—further proof of how important his family was to him... More important than his own life.

But Xia Qingyue, right before his eyes, buried all of that completely.

Even those who weren't Yun Che could feel the deep oppression and cruelty. It was impossible to imagine how much Yun Che now hated Xia Qingyue... But no matter how much hatred, it was destined to never be avenged.

The cosmic storm gradually subsided. What swept in now was no longer the dust of destroyed planets, but chaotic blood and the aura of despair.

These auras came from the blood energy released by the burial of countless lives, and the grieving souls that had not yet dispersed after death... Everyone fell into a prolonged silence. Even the Divine Emperors felt varying degrees of discomfort.

Destroying a star—that was a blood debt far too enormous... Trillions of lives.

"Very good." She looked at Yun Che, without sorrow or anger. "At least this cuts things cleanly."

...
...

"Yun Che, have you forgotten? Back then, we already—"

"Still talking about the destroyed marriage contract? I'll tell you, tearing it up is useless! Our marriage registration is still intact in Flowcloud City, and our witness is still alive and well."

"According to Flowcloud City's rules, unless I divorce you, or you personally go to the Flowcloud City household office with evidence that I am an unworthy husband, go through all kinds of reviews and a whole basket of procedures to dissolve the marriage registration—otherwise, we are still husband and wife! Tearing up a marriage contract to dissolve the marital bond? Hmph, the new Divine Emperor of the Moon God Realm is truly childish."

...
...

Just two months ago, on that mysterious ark with only the two of them, Yun Che had raised an eyebrow, pursed his lips, and lectured her about Flowcloud City's rules... He said that since they were married there, they should follow those rules. Even if the marriage contract was torn, as long as he had not divorced her, she was still his wife.

She hadn't forgotten. Neither had he.

Yun Che closed his eyes and said nothing more. The world was frozen, silent, gray, and dark... He was a savior. Mo Li was also a savior. But these people—those who had been saved because of him and Mo Li—had, under the righteous name of punishing the Evil Infant and punishing demons, driven Mo Li out of the Chaos and forced him into a dead end.

The one who triggered all this was the Zhou Tian Divine Emperor, whom he trusted and respected most. The one who cruelly destroyed everything he had was Qingyue, the one he was least guarded against, the one he had always been most grateful and compassionate toward.

Ha...

"Yun Che... Is this world really worth me doing all this?"

"Is this world really worth me doing all this?"

"Really worth me doing all this?"

Jie Yuan's words echoed chaotically in his mind... And he could no longer remember his own answer at that time.

"Wuji, withdraw."

"Yes." Yue Wuji retreated far away, leaving only Yun Che and Xia Qingyue in this space.

The Divine Emperor's sword, wrapped in dense purple light, slowly descended. In an instant, it could erase his existence. But such thick purple radiance could not illuminate the deathly gray on Yun Che's face. From him, one could no longer sense anger or resentment—only the darkness of a dead man.

Everyone has something they cherish most—power, strength, family, wealth, or life. But the man beneath the Purple Que Divine Sword had lost the most important, most cherished things in his life... And everything at that.

Everything was too ironic, too cruel—enough to shatter anyone's will, no matter how firm. Perhaps, for Yun Che at this moment, death was the best release. To live... might mean sinking into eternal darkness.

"Before you die, there is one thing this king might as well tell you."

Xia Qingyue spoke slowly. "Yesterday, this king said there was something to tell you, but needed the right timing... But it seems that timing will never come. So I'll tell you directly."

She leaned forward slightly, her voice dropping so low that only Yun Che could hear. "Shen Xi... is dead."

"..." Yun Che's gray pupils trembled slightly.

"Some time ago, this king went to the Dragon God Realm, only to find that the Reincarnation Forbidden Land had long been destroyed. All the flowers and plants had withered. There was no sign of anyone, and not a trace of spiritual energy remained." Xia Qingyue narrated slowly, her voice reaching only Yun Che's ears. "Later, at the center of the Reincarnation Forbidden Land, I found a pool of blood. Though some time had passed, the bloodstain showed no sign of drying... because it contained very pure light aura."

"Guess whose blood that was?"

Yun Che: "........"

"You realized long ago that something must have gone wrong on her side, but you never truly worried, because you believed that with her existence, no one in this world could harm her. And those truly capable of harming her were the ones least likely to do so. But... you completely underestimated the depths of human nature!"

"Your life experience is far more complex than your peers'. These years in the lower realm, you may think you've understood human nature. But you seem to have forgotten—your life, your experience, is only a few decades. While they have lived for tens of thousands... hundreds of thousands of years. Do you truly believe you see them clearly? Do you truly believe you've understood the survival laws of the God Realm!?"

"..." Yun Che had no reaction. Not even a flicker.

Xia Qingyue said no more. A hint of contemptuous death aura emanated from her. "In the hell after death, will you become a weeping evil ghost, or a vengeful demon god... This king is very much looking forward to it. Now then... die!"

The Purple Que Divine Sword finally fell. The last time, it had been blocked at the very last moment by Qianye Ying'er, whose slave mark had not yet been undone. This time, no one could possibly stop it. With the fall of this sword, Yun Che would vanish forever from this world, taking with him the different imprints he had left in the world and in countless hearts.

But...

At the very last moment again, from the silent and dead space ahead, a blue-cold blade of light suddenly stabbed out of the void... straight at Xia Qingyue's throat, accompanied by sky-filling ice and killing intent.

This icy cold and killing intent had been suppressed for too long. When released, it was so fierce that it instantly froze the surrounding void for ten thousand miles.

All thirteen Divine Emperors of the three divine regions were present, yet this sudden change caught everyone completely off guard.

Xia Qingyue's face changed drastically. Her figure instantly retreated, while at the same time, a surge of profound energy wrapped around Yun Che, flinging him far backward.

The crowd, who had been watching coldly, was greatly shocked. Under the icy light, there was a sword of pure white, shimmering with blue radiance—and the figure of a woman with blue hair floating, like a ice fairy from a dream.

Shocked gazes instantly locked onto her... They had never seen eyes so cold—so frigid they could seemingly freeze the entire world into a frozen prison.

"Yinxue... Realm King!" Zhou Tian Divine Emperor exclaimed in shock.

Intense astonishment appeared on everyone's face—literally everyone, including all the Divine Emperors!

That sword, which had stabbed out of the void, was less than twenty zhang from Xia Qingyue's throat! Having approached such a close distance, none of them had sensed it!

Granted, they were facing only Yun Che, who was as weak as an ant and posed no threat, so their spiritual senses naturally weren't on high alert. But still, with thirteen Divine Emperors present, along with a host of Fan Kings and guardians, and hundreds of upper Realm Kings, to let someone approach within twenty zhang without detection—how utterly inconceivable!

And that sword thrust straight at the throat. If it had hit Xia Qingyue, even a Divine Lord below Divine Emperor level would have been severely wounded instantly... perhaps even killed outright.

Xia Qingyue's figure retreated far away, looking at the suddenly appearing ice-blue figure... But in her icy eyes, there was no longer the trust and peace of the past—only coldness and hatred.

Mu Xuanyin!

Yun Che's figure was flung far away. His lifeless pupils regained focus almost instantly, reflecting that all-too-familiar ice-blue figure. For a moment, it was as if he had fallen into an even deeper dream, and he let out a dazed whisper: "Master...?"

Clang!!

Snow Princess Sword pointed forward. Mu Xuanyin's ice-blue hair danced, and a Ice Phoenix shadow manifested upon her, so real it seemed tangible. Then, in the next instant, it suddenly exploded. Ice-blue rays and extreme cold transformed the surrounding million miles of space into a netherworld frozen hell.

The shocked crowd was now even more horrified. Azure Dragon Emperor of the Western Divine Region—the公认 foremost ice and water cultivator across the three divine regions—his face showed astonishment greater than anyone else as he blurted out: "When did the God Realm produce such a figure!?"

This was clearly Divine Emperor-level authority!

Moreover, it was ice-type cold authority!

"The Eastern Domain's Yinxue Realm King... So the rumors were true after all." The Qilin Emperor beside him also muttered in shock.

After calling out "Yinxue Realm King," Zhou Tian Divine Emperor's face changed again. His figure lunged forward, and his overwhelming Divine Emperor aura spread ahead to meet the cold, instantly sealing the space where Mu Xuanyin and Yun Che were: "Yun Che has a Void Stone on him!"

This low shout instantly snapped the momentarily stunned Divine Emperors back to reality. Immediately, a full five Divine Emperor auras erupted simultaneously. In an instant, the space that could no longer bear the pressure directly collapsed.

Zhou Tian Divine Emperor was at the front. He ignored Mu Xuanyin and went straight for Yun Che. The distance Yun Che had been flung was instantly closed.

If that Divine Emperor spiritual pressure directly landed on Yun Che, even with his Dragon God's Body, he would be instantly crushed.

On the other side, Fan Tian Divine Emperor charged out almost simultaneously, heading straight for Mu Xuanyin.

The might of two Divine Emperors—who could withstand it?

Xia Qingyue stood still, unmoving.

She had tried to kill Yun Che twice, and both times, at the very last moment, it had been blocked.

The first time, it was blocked by Qianye Ying'er. The second time, by Mu Xuanyin. Both times, completely unexpected. Both times, with all the Divine Emperors present, yet no one had anticipated it.

"Heaven's will?" Looking at the purple glow enveloping her sword, she let out a gentle sigh.
