# Chapter 790: My Jasmine (Part 2)
The Dragon God's phantom had become extremely weak, on the verge of disappearing completely. At this moment, two flames flickered through Yun Che's pupils, and a phoenix cry rang out. Behind him, a phoenix shadow began to glow...
Following the Dragon Soul, the Phoenix Soul's power was also released without any reservation. Under the weakened Dragon Soul and the newly ignited Phoenix Soul, the soul-separating power of the Netherworld Brahma Flower lessened slightly. Yun Che let out a low roar and abruptly lunged forward, covering nearly a full zhang in one bound.
The distance to the Netherworld Brahma Flower was now only seven zhang!
"What... what makes you think I won't!" Jasmine's voice and emotions were already somewhat out of control. She took a deep breath and barely managed to speak in a relatively calm tone: "Fine... fine... Do you absolutely have to suffer the torment of soul separation to death, and drag me down with you before you're satisfied?! If you don't go back right now, you'll completely kill me! I've endured the demon poison for so many years and barely managed to survive until today. If I die because of your stupidity... I will never forgive you for all eternity!!"
The flames burned, and the Phoenix Soul's cry grew increasingly feeble. The distance between Yun Che and the Netherworld Brahma Flower was still six zhang... Being this close to the Netherworld Brahma Flower, even Jasmine couldn't believe the terrifying soul-separating force and soul agony Yun Che was enduring. His screams had become hoarse beyond recognition, and his movements were as feeble as an old man on the verge of death. Yet his arms and body continued to crawl forward bit by bit...
Perhaps even if the Slay Moon Demon Lord were still alive, he couldn't have believed the scene before him.
"Jasmine..." Yun Che murmured in a voice not even he could hear clearly: "Trust me... I can... make it..."
"You're... younger than me... yet from such a young age... you could only... rely on one person... to survive... I know... how great a... pain... and sorrow... that is..."
"Although you are... proud... stubborn... bad-tempered... always scolding... never letting me... feel pity for you... but I know... you must desperately... long for... freedom..."
"If... I miss this chance... who knows... how many years... it will be before... I absolutely... will not..."
"AHHHHH!!!"
Another piercing cry echoed through the air. A third divine spirit phantom appeared behind Yun Che—the Golden Crow Soul, also ignited by Yun Che, releasing all its soul power without reservation.
This instantaneous eruption of soul force gave Yun Che a momentary clarity of will, and he lunged forward again with all his might.
When he landed, the distance to the Netherworld Brahma Flower was only the final five zhang.
These short five zhang were the most distant and terrifying distance on the entire Tian Xuan Continent.
Having reached this point, those who had never experienced it could never imagine what Yun Che was enduring.
Dragon God's Soul, Phoenix Soul, Golden Crow Soul... three divine spirit phantoms interwove and shone together. But the Dragon God's phantom and Phoenix phantom were already as faint as mist, yet Yun Che still desperately squeezed out their last traces of soul power. Without the protection of these three divine souls, Yun Che's soul would have long been torn into countless fragments.
Five zhang—this was a distance even Jasmine couldn't believe. But she knew better than anyone how hopeless it was to cross these final five zhang. Even in his most complete state, Yun Che couldn't possibly cross them... let alone now, when the divine soul power he relied on had completely weakened.
Yet Yun Che still pulled his body forward with his arms, approaching with excruciating slowness... Jasmine watched him from close range but couldn't know what power was driving him to keep moving.
"What exactly... will it take to make you give up!" Jasmine's voice trembled uncontrollably. She turned her head away and closed her eyes... With her nature, she couldn't bear to look at Yun Che's current state: "I'll say it one last... last time! Go back immediately!! This is an order! I am your master... a master's command must not be disobeyed. Are you even going to defy your master's order?!"
Yun Che's arms spasmed, and his body advanced another half-length. His entire body—every part, every inch—writhed like dying insects... Behind him, the Dragon God's phantom and Phoenix phantom had completely disappeared, leaving only the Golden Crow phantom flickering and struggling weakly.
"A master's command must not be disobeyed..." Yun Che's eyes remained open, a bloody smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "But in my heart... you are not only my master..."
"You are also... my Jasmine!!!"
"...!" Jasmine's body swayed, and her heart-mind went blank, as if something had exploded in the deepest part of her soul.
"AHHHHHHH!"
The Golden Crow phantom also completely disappeared. The moment all three divine spirit phantoms vanished, a burst of flame suddenly erupted from Yun Che's body. Beneath the flames, a crimson profound light also shone...
Three drops of Phoenix Source Blood and nine drops of Golden Crow Source Blood were instantly ignited completely!
This was the second time he had ignited his divine source blood since the decisive battle with Xia Qingyue all those years ago! The difference was that the first time he had released the source blood externally, but this time he ignited it internally!!
The fourth Evil God Realm Gate, which had previously cost him half his life when opened for barely two breaths, was also decisively opened.
"BOOM... HEAVEN!!"
Like a dying insect, Yun Che, carrying a blindingly intense blaze of fire, lunged forward, covering nearly five zhang in one bound. His last vestiges of will vaguely perceived the location of the purple light. His left hand, glowing with green light, stretched out desperately, reaching for that purple light like a demon's eye...
BANG!
Yun Che crashed heavily to the ground, motionless. All the wounds on his body that had just healed—both internal and external—burst open, worse than before. So severe that he instantly lost consciousness, with no further movement.
The world of the Slay Moon Demon Cave fell silent again, and darkness returned—absolute darkness, without a single trace of light.
Jasmine stood there blankly, unmoving and silent for a long time. Only two streaks of moisture slid slowly down her snow-white cheeks, silently at first, then faster and faster, unstoppable.

"Sob sob... This can't be real... Big Brother... I don't want you to die... sob sob... I don't want... I don't want!!"
"Jasmine... don't cry... Even if your big brother is gone, you have to... be strong... You still have to... protect Cai Zhi... She is, after all... cough, cough cough..."
"I... I know. I will protect Cai Zhi, just as Big Brother protected me. I will be strong... I will also... kill that person... kill everyone in that star realm to avenge Big Brother..."
"No... don't... don't seek revenge from her..."
"Why... It's clearly her who harmed Big Brother... Why does Big Brother still protect her!?"
"Jasmine... you're still young. When you grow up and truly fall in love with someone, you'll understand... Although I die because of her... I have no regrets... It's just that I have too many worries..."
"Jasmine... promise me one last thing... In the future... when you grow up... if one day you meet a man who is strong, treats you as well as your big brother did, and would even risk everything... even his life... for you... then let him take you... far away from here forever... the farther the better... where no one can find you..."
"No... don't... There will never be anyone in this world who treats me as well as Big Brother... I only want Big Brother... Sob... Waaahhh..."
"Jasmine... You will definitely meet someone like that... Because my little sister is the kindest... most wonderful girl in this world..."
——————————

"..." Jasmine reached out her small hand and touched the two warm tear streaks on her snow-white face. Perhaps it was because she hadn't shed tears for too long since her big brother died—too many had accumulated—that no matter how hard she tried to hold them back, the gushing teardrops wouldn't stop.
Big Brother, do you know? I really did meet someone like that, just as you said.
But how could I ever...
"Oh? Jasmine-sister, looks like she's crying!"
While Jasmine was lost in thought, she didn't notice that Hong'er had already woken up. Standing beside Jasmine, Hong'er craned her neck, looking with great curiosity at Jasmine's tear-stained face. After confirming several times, she jumped up excitedly: "Waah! I always thought only I could cry, but it turns out Jasmine-sister can cry too... How wonderful!!"
Hong'er always burst out with all kinds of inexplicable excitement. This time, Jasmine didn't play along to cheer her up as usual. Instead, she reached out and gently took Hong'er's fair, soft little hand.
"Hong'er, if one day I'm not here, and I don't come back for a long time... you must be very, very obedient and listen to your master, okay?"
"Of course!" Hong'er nodded without hesitation, giggling: "I've always listened to master anyway... Ah?" Finally realizing the key point, she asked curiously: "Jasmine-sister, you won't be here? Are you going somewhere else to play?"
"I don't know. Maybe I'm just thinking too much all of a sudden." Jasmine gave a very faint smile: "In any case, no matter when, you must obediently listen to your master. Because besides me, master is the best person in the world to Hong'er, right?"
"Mm!" Hong'er nodded obediently, then tilted her head and whispered: "So strange... today's Jasmine-sister seems weird... Ah, who cares! Jasmine-sister, after sleeping, my stomach is hungry again. I want to eat lots and lots of good food!"
"..."
Silent, lightless, in the endless darkness, Yun Che's body remained motionless, his fate unknown.
