Against the Gods Chapter 298 – Dissipating Soul

Chapter 298 Dissipating Soul

Come, try to release your profound handle. When your Profound Handle awakens, you will naturally understand how it is to be used. Yun Canghai said while chuckling.

Yun Che nodded. Indeed, the moment his Profound Handle awakened, another spirit connection appeared within his soul... and the spirit connection from the Profound Handle brought about a strength that didnt feel foreign at all. In fact, it was just like a new organ inside of his body. When he willed it to move, a red light above his left arm flashed. Afterwards, a crimson light noiselessly flew outwards and floated beside his body. Following his will, it transformed into the shape of Dragon Fault... Aside from the difference in color, its exterior appearance was exactly the same as that of Dragon Faults.

Seeing the Profound Handle next to his body, although its power was far from that of Grandfathers, an indescribably excited feeling arose in Yun Ches heart. Watching his expression, Yun Canghai smiled contently: Believe in your feelings. Not only is it your power, it is a part of your body and soul. Although it is the lowest class among Profound Handles, the red color has its own benefits. Similarly, the power of the Profound Handle arises from the owner of the Profound Handles body, so when it is released, it will also speed up the rate of consumption of profound energy as well as mental energy. The stronger the Profound Handle, the greater the rate of consumption. Accordingly, the red profound handle has the smallest rate of consumption.

Yun Canghais words were naturally only words of comfort. As the lowest level of Profound Handles, this so-called advantage of the red profound handle could only be considered extremely laughable. The red profound handle began to change into various forms under Yun Ches will: occasionally, it was a sword; occasionally, it was a spear; occasionally, it was a long damask. Sometimes, it was a leaf, the shape of a water droplet, and even a mans silhouette. Yun Canghai continued: The Profound Handle isnt only a type of special strength form. It can also be a pure soul form, and invade opponents souls or conduct mental attacks.

Mental attacks? Yun Che was astounded. After, he concentrated his will speedily; almost instantly, his Profound Handle rapidly transformed until it was completely traceless and formless, becoming a pure soul form.

Once again, the might and mysticality of the Profound Handle exceeded Yun Ches expectations. Subsequently, his heart wavered, as if he had thought of something.

Heheheheh... Watching the incessant excitement on Yun Ches face as he operated the newly-awakened Profound Handle, Yun Canghai nodded his head continuously, and thought back to his youth, when he had just awakened his Profound Handle. As he smiled, his field of vision gradually became blurry. He was once so powerful and proud, capable of looking down on everything. He was the king, only below the emperor, yet now, he was in such miserable and dire straits. His son had been harmed trying to save him, and he had no idea whether he was still alive. He had also unintentionally brought his grandson into this abyss... His grandson was nineteen right now, yet to this day, he had never assumed the responsibilities of a grandfather. The only thing he could do was consume his own origin strength, and help him awaken his Profound Handle earlier.

In the last hundred years, he had suffered through loneliness and hardship, distress and humiliation, yet since the very beginning, he had never been willing to die. He didnt want such an important object for the Demon Emperor to be lost, and even more so, didnt want to die here without any contribution.

Yet today, he had already entrusted that important object to his own grandson. He could finally end his own wretched life with some value...

Cheer, come over here.

Yun Che withdrew his Profound Handle, and walked to the front of Yun Canghai.

Back then, when I left the Illusory Demon Realm in search of the Demon Emperor, I had tentatively left the heavy burden of the Family to your father, but I didnt tell him an enormous secret. Only the Demon Emperor bloodline and my Yun family knows of this secret. Also, this secret is passed down orally by the Demon Emperor or master of the Yun family; absolutely no one else knows about it. If the Demon Emperor has actually died, then the only person in the world that knows this secret is me. As I have been trapped here, I will never be able to see the light of day again. Only you will be able to succeed me... Cheer, move your ear closer to me.

Only the grandfather-grandson pair was here in this place, and it was impossible for anyone else to have heard them speaking. But Yun Canghai remained extremely cautious, so it was evident just how important this secret was. Yun Che didnt say anything more, complied to Yun Canghais request and moved closer. Then, Yun Canghai, using an extremely soft voice, said something to his ear.

Ah? Is this for real? After hearing Yun Canghais words, Yun Che revealed a deeply startled expression.

This issue concerns the future of the entire Illusory Demon Realm. You must keep this in your heart, and inform the Little Demon Empress, who currently dominates the Illusory Demon Realm, and you definitely must not let anyone else know.

Yun Che nodded: I will remember all of grandfathers words in my heart. Grandfather, you dont have to be too pessimistic either; well definitely be able to find a way to get out of here. I will prudently safeguard this secret grandfather has told me, but as for the matter of informing the Little Demon Empress about it, it doesnt necessarily have to be me; itd be best if grandfather were to do so personally.

Ha ha ha ha! Yun Canghai began laughing with gratitude: Im very happy to hear you say these words. My Yun family owes you nineteen years, and Grandfather was the one that trapped you here, yet you didnt display even the slightest bit of complaint. Not only were you willing to recognize me as your grandfather, you even looked out for me... To have such a grandson, my Yun family is truly fortunate, and it is also the greatest compensation I, Yun Canghai, have received from the Heavens in these hundred years of bleakness. I also believe that if youre ever to meet your biological parents, you definitely wont blame them for not protecting you well back then. Although your body carries thick killing intent, your innate disposition is yet especially kind; it looks like the Grandfather Xiao who raised you mustve been a good-natured man.

Yun Che nodded lightly: He is a... very noble grandfather.

Yun Canghai looked upwards, and said sorrowfully: I really want to thank him personally. In the hundreds of years Ive lived, Ive never been so grateful towards someone before... Cheer, remember my words from before. One day, you must pay him filial respects as if he was your biological grandfather in order to repay his kindness and grace in raising you.

Yun Che nodded repeatedly.

Alright... Im tired, and I need to rest a while. Go outside the barrier and carefully study your newly-awakened Profound Handle. Only studying it closely will allow you to gradually discover its infinite subtleties. Yun Canghai said as he closed his eyes.

Yes, Grandfather. Yun Che nodded, and walked outside of the barrier. In order to awaken his Profound Handle, it looked like Yun Canghai had consumed an extremely large amount of energy. Before, when he was speaking, he had been gasping for breath the entire time.

After walking outside the barrier, Yun Che sat down. He closed his eyes, yet didnt think about the Profound Handle; rather, he thought hard about how to leave this place.

Yun Canghai had been bound to that Heavens Punishment Sword with what was known as the Meteorite Chain. Once, Yun Che had tried to attack the Meteorite Chain with Dragon Fault, but it was unable to cause even the slightest amount of damage, let alone sever it.

Jasmine had told him before that the suppressive force of the Heavens Punishment Sword was linked to Yun Canghais heart and soul. As long as Yun Canghai didnt die, this suppressive force would always exist. Conversely, if he died, the suppressive force would disappear. This was also the reason he was so determined to kill Yun Canghai before. Now that he knew Yun Canghai was his grandfather, he obviously couldnt make a move against him anymore. In that case, if he wanted to leave by himself...

............

Yun Che opened his eyes forcefully, and his brain felt as if it had been pierced by an electric current.

There was no way Yun Canghai had a method to leave this place, otherwise, he wouldnt have been trapped here for a hundred years. Other than killing Yun Canghai, he had no other way of leaving... However, the fact that the couldnt attack Yun Canghai didnt mean that Yun Canghai wouldnt kill himself in order to set him free!

The Heavens Might Soul Suppressing Formation was ineffective towards oneself. Then why did Yun Canghai still want him to study the Profound Handle outside of the barrier?

And his words from before... informing him of that enormous secret...

Grandfather!!

Yun Che roared. He jumped up abruptly, and charged into the barrier; the instant his feet entered the barrier, he froze in place...

Yun Canghais head dangled in front of his chest. Even under his frightened scream, he was not in the least responsive, and Yun Che could no longer feel even a shred of life from his existence.

Grandfather... GRANDFATHER!!

The nightmare-like thought that had suddenly appeared in his mind suddenly drew closer to reality. Yun Ches entire body shuddered, and charged forward as if he was mad, pouncing in front of Yun Canghais body.

Yet what responded wasnt Yun Canghais voice, but the sound of the Meteorite Chains falling.

The Meteorite Chains that were wrapped around Yun Canghais body suddenly loosened completely, and fell to the ground powerlessly. This was because the lock for the Meteorite Chains was similarly connected to the heart and soul of the person being bound; when the person being bound died, the Meteorite Chains would automatically loosen.

The imposing aura of the Heavens Punishment Sword also dissipated without a trace at this time. Not a single shred of that heavy and boundless suppressive power remained, and it was as calm as a dead sword.

Yun Canghais body, which had been shackled there for an entire century, finally obtained its freedom at this moment, falling forward slowly into Yun Ches embrace. Yun Che held his grandfathers body and slowly knelt to the ground. He looked forward expressionlessly, without any sound, without any movements, even without any tears, as if his soul had left his body that instant.

He severed his own heart veins... For him to make this choice, Im not surprised at all. Jasmine said lightly.

Yun Che: ...

Yun Canghai had died, and just as Jasmine had said, he had died by severing his own heart veins.

He died very serenely, and his expression was tranquil. A slight smile still hung on the corners of his face, and it was a kind of pleased and satisfied smile. This was the only thing that could comfort Yun Che... behind his smiling expression silently lay deep feelings of reluctance and concern.

At this time, Yun Canghais last words sounded besides Yun Ches ear... Before he died, he had left behind a few lingering words from his soul:

Cheer, in this period of time, Grandfather can see that within your heart rests many people, many issues, and you long to leave this place all the time... Its Grandfather that has let you down, and this is also the last thing Grandfather can do for you. Dont feel sad; although Grandfather has passed, to Grandfather, this is a relief I have yearned for day and night. To have met you, and entrusted something I am incapable of putting down to you, Grandfather no longer has any regrets and concerns. I can be at ease and go accompany the Demon Emperor contently... Besides, theres still you as the continuation of your grandfathers life and bloodline.

Cheer, my good child, Grandfather hadnt taken care of you well in this life. In another world, Grandfather will pray for you with all his time and energy. The Profound Sky Continent is your home, but the Illusory Demon Realm is your true homeland. Grandfather hopes that one day, you can return to the Illusory Demon Realm, and back to our Yun Family, and let your parents know that you are still living in this world safe and sound... Dont blame your parents, they have definitely already torn their hearts and ripped their lungs worrying about you, longing for you these nineteen years... Grandfathers last desire is not vengeance, nor the Demon Emperor race, but the wish to see all of you... reunite as a family...

Yun Canghais last words faded away, and two streaks of tears finally rolled down Yun Ches face... Above his head, wisps of sand began rumbling and falling, which signified that the suppressive power of the Heavens Punishment Sword had already disappeared completely. But Yun Che didnt move for a long time, embracing Yun Canghais dead body... embracing the kin he lost after he had just met. His entire person seemed to have become a sorrowful statue.

At the same time, Heavenly Sword Villa.

Ling Jie, who had just finished training, was walking back to his courtyard with a body full of heat. Just as he was about to enter his room, a Heavenly Sword disciple who wore clothes adorned with swords, rushed in hurriedly: Second Young Villa Master!

Senior Brother Yun Peng... What matter is this urgent? Ling Jie turned his face, and heaved a breath of air.

Second Young Villa Master, congratulations on breaking through to the tenth level of the Spirit Profound Realm at such a lightning speed. You have overtaken Young Villa Master from back then. The Heavenly Sword disciple said with a smiling face. Ling Jie had shaken the entire Heavenly Sword Villa yesterday when he broke through, because, when Ling Yun was seventeen, he was only at the ninth level of the Spirit Profound Realm.This time around, Ling Jies breakthrough signified that his innate talent completely surpassed that of Ling Yuns. He retrieved an invitation inlayed with fiery lines from his bosom: This is an invitation issued by the Burning Heaven Clan. In four days, the Young Burning Heaven Clan Master will leave for the Blue Wind Imperial City to escort Princess Cang Yue for marriage. In seven days, they will complete the marriage at Burning Heaven Clans Fiery Sun Hall. By chance, the Villa Master has something to do seven days from now, and is asking Second Young Villa Master to represent him there. He says it has already been two years since Second Young Villa Master left the Heavenly Sword Villa, and that you should take advantage of the fact that you just broke through to travel outside for a bit.

Fen Juecheng... and Princess Sis!? Ling Jie quivered, and snatched the invitation from the disciples hands with a whoosh sound. He swept over it after opening it, and his brow sunk: How could it be like this... this isnt right! This definitely wasnt Princess Siss real intention; Princess Sis is Bosss...

He looked over the invitation many times. Finally, his eyes stopped for a while on the date. He scrunched his brow, seeming to have come to a decision. He put the invitation away, and said with an earnest expression: Senior Brother Yun Peng, inform father that seven days from now, I will go to the Burning Heaven Clan in his stead.
