Against the Gods Chapter 1649 - Devil Emperor’s Soul

Qianye Yinger was standing on the other side of the profound ark. She was staring at a different but equally vast star region of darkness.

Chi Wuyao paused for a moment when she walked over and saw Qianye Yinger.

Her golden hair and the belt of her skirt were fluttering slightly in midair. The secular world often used the idiom as beautiful as a painting to praise beautiful women, but even the side view of this particular woman could never be captured or described by something so simple.

The Brahma Monarch Goddess was a perfect creation the heavens spent all their energy and creativity on. But today, it had become the private tool of a devil of vengeance... there was probably no one who wouldnt feel saddened by this.

Normally, you wouldnt move three feet away from him when this queen is around. But today, youre standing over a hundred feet away from him. What a rare sight, Chi Wuyao mocked lazily.

Qianye Yinger snorted coldly in response. His mood is at its worst every year today. I cant be bothered to provoke him at this time.

She shot Chi Wuyao a sideways glance. It doesnt look like youre worried that this operation of yours will fail. Our opponent is the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, isnt it?

This queen never underestimates her opponent. Chi Wuyao smiled. Herself, even less so. Plus, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor is the reason Im this confident.

Youre talking about his bargaining chip.

Thats right. Chi Wuyao stroked a hand down her hair, and the black fog that covered her face permanently thinned just enough to reveal the outline of a dreamy countenance. In his opinion, his bargaining chip is something neither this queen nor anyone else could ever turn down.

To be honest, this queen is still surprised that he would give away something this valuable.

Qianye Yinger sneered. Heh. Excluding the matter of Zhou Qingchen, hes breaking a terrible taboo just by visiting the Northern Divine Region to deal with you. He has every reason to want this deal to succeed the first time, so Im not going to be surprised no matter what he offers.

Chi Wuyao looked at her and let out an exclamation of surprise. Youre not going to ask me what he offered me?

If you want to talk about it, then talk. Qianye Yinger said expressionlessly without looking at the Devil Queen. There was no way she was going to play Chi Wuyaos game.

The Devil Queens lips curled into a smile. Aiyah, what a disobedient child.

If you want an obedient child to play with, you should seek out your boy toy. Qianye Yinger taunted.

Boy toy? Hehehehe... Chi Wuyao burst into a giggle. Back when the Clear Sky God Realm was still around, most of its power was inherited by men. But during my reign, all of its inheritors are women.

Moreover, do you know what this queen values the most when selecting her Witches? Their looks. To me, it weighs more than any talent or background.

Qianye Yinger: ...

Every one of my Witches beauty is one in a billion. From Jie Xin to Chanyi, the first all the way to the ninth, all of them had to go through a painstaking selection process. Not even the Burning Moon God Emperors favorite concubine can hold a candle to my Witches.

Can you guess the reason I went through all this?

... A wave of discomfort suddenly came over Qianye Yinger. Frowning unconsciously, she asked, What are you trying to say?

What this queen is trying to say is...

Chi Wuyao suddenly sounded a lot closer, so Qianye Yinger subconsciously glanced sideways to see what the former was doing. She was shocked to discover that the Devil Queens face was mere inches away from hers, so close that she could even feel her warm breath brushing against her lips. There seemed to be stars shooting across the pupils behind the black fog. If you ever get tired of men, you may find women more to your liking one day.

Qianye Yinger jumped back a step and watched Chi Wuyao with apprehension. Every bone in her body was melting against her will.

Hahahaha! Chi Wuyao laughed loudly as she turned away.

The next person she went to meet was Yun Che.

A storm of darkness blew persistently against his body, but Yun Ches mind remained as calm as a pool of dead water. He didnt turn around when he sensed Chi Wuyao approaching him from behind.

What is the anomaly I sense in your soul!? he asked suddenly.

Chi Wuyao stopped only when she was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Yun Che. Parting her lips slightly in a coquettish manner, she said, This queen is honestly surprised you managed to keep yourself from asking for this long.

They were incredibly close to each other, so the devilish voice reached all the way to the core of his soul.

Had he been another man, had he been his old self, he doubted he would be able to remain standing.

Will you answer the question, or not? Yun Che asked coldly.

If its your question, then sure, I will. Chi Wuyao smiled cutely at him. Now that she was alone with Yun Che, she acted more like a succubus than the Devil Queen.

Yun Che: ...

You have probably figured it out yourself. After all, youre the only one who have the power to detect it, Chi Wuyao said. As you suspect, I have a certain soul inside of me. But unlike you, I was not so lucky as to obtain a whole soul. Its so small you almost cant see it. A long time ago, this soul belonged to...

The Nirvana Devil Emperor.

Yun Che frowned visibly at the reveal. I thought so.

The Nirvana Devil Emperor was one of the four ancient Devil Emperors. They were at the same level as the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor.

Back at Soul Sky, when Chi Wuyao had addressed the three Yama Devils personally, her soul aura had actually caused a bit of fear in his Dragon God Soul.

The Primordial Azure Dragon was the emperor of dragons. Back in those days, it was a class above almost any True God.

Therefore, the soul that could strike fear in the soul of the Dragon God had to be a class above its own. It had to be a Creation Gods soul or a Devil Emperors soul!

Due to Chi Wuyaos own admission, he now knew that she possessed a sliver of a Devil Emperors soul!

Who wouldve thought that there were other relics of the past besides the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor that survived to this day?

It might be just the wisp of a soul, but it was still the power of a Devil Emperor!

No wonder she was able to climb all the way to the impossible top despite being a common woman at the start. No wonder she was able to leave a lasting shadow in Qianye Fantian and Zhou Xuzis hearts even though it had been tens of thousands of years since they clashed against one another.

It might even be the source of her terrifying insight and intelligence.

You are the only one who knows this besides myself. Chi Wuyao smiled lightly. You are the only one in this world I cannot look down on from above. In fact, what I possess is almost worthless compared to yours. It would be foolish to try to hide this from you.

Hmph. Theres no one in the world who has the right to look down on a devil emperors soul! Yun Che said.

But Chi Wuyao shook her head and said quietly, What you have inherited is the Creation Gods power, the Heretic Gods profound veins, the Devil Emperors power, and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperors origin blood. You have even cultivated their unique profound arts.

But the devil emperors soul in me is as small as a grain of sand. Not only is it completely incomparable to what you got, the most it can do... She looked at Yun Che strangely. ...is to play a trick or two once in a while.

Otherwise, I wouldnt have been trapped in this prison.

Yun Che suddenly looked at her with a cold expression. How did you hear about the Heretic Gods Profound Veins?

At the edge of the Primal Chaos, he had revealed his secret in front of everyone to appease the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor. However, he only said that he had the Heretic Gods origin power. He never revealed the fact that he had the Heretic Gods Profound Veins.

Mu Xuanyin had warned him more than once to keep the Heretic Gods Profound Veins a secret even if he had no choice but to reveal his power one day. Origin power, especially a Creation Gods origin power seemed impossible to rob, so it wasnt the worst thing in the world to reveal it. But a complete set of profound veins was a different story. Even if it was impossible to take them away from Yun Che, some would be willing to try anyway.

Besides his close friends and family, he never revealed the fact that he had the Heretic Gods Profound Veins to anyone in the Eastern Divine Region. That was why he could hardly believe his ears when Chi Wuyao spoke like it was an open secret.

... Chi Wuyao was actually caught off guard for a second. Then, she parted her lips slightly and whispered, Everyone likes to know a secret, and secrets are a womans greatest asset. Why dont you take a guess and see if I would be willing to part with one of mine for you?

Just so you know, the same rule applies to men as well.

Rip!

An air current suddenly cut apart the space between Chi Wuyao and Yun Che. It also cut off the connection between their eyes completely.

Qianye Yinger had appeared between the duo like a ghost to glare at Chi Wuyao frigidly. If you like to reveal your secrets so much, you can make your women beg for it to your hearts content! But Yun Che and I are not. Interested. In. Playing. Your. Games!

Chi Wuyao withdrew her gaze and looked away with a sorrowful expression. She sighed. Thats true. Its been several months since youve come to the sacred region, but neither of you tried to catch a glimpse of my true appearance even once. Your heartlessness is saddening indeed.

Heh. Qianye Yinger sneered at her. Chi Wuyao, feel free to play your cheap tricks on those lowly men all you want, but dont think for a second that it will work on Yun Che. You will only bring shame to yourself!

Also, dont say I didnt warn you. Qianye Yingers gaze and voice turned even colder. But since the first day of our cooperation, we already told you not to entertain any foolish thoughts. You wont want enemies like Yun Che and I!

With her back facing Qianye Yinger, an enigmatic smile crossed Chi Wuyaos lips. What a sensitive girl. You are positively growing on me, Yun Qianying.

Qianye Yinger: ... !?

The darkness profound ark started slowing down at this moment. Hua Jin landed soundlessly next to her master and said, Master, well be arriving in another hour. Would you like Hua Jin to scout ahead?

Its fine, Chi Wuyao said. Our friend is the one who should worry about this meeting going awry, not us.

Okay. Hua Jin understands.

The Witch disappeared, and the darkness profound ark returned to its normal speed. They were rapidly approaching the border of the Northern Divine Region.

Not once did Chi Wuyao worry over the fact that her movement might be seen by others at all.

We are one hour away from our destination. Chi Wuyao turned around to look at Yun Che and Qianye Yinger. Do you want me to capture you personally, or do you want to do it yourself?

Yun Che turned away and punched himself in the solar plexus right after she was finished speaking.

Bang!

The entire ship was shuddering from the impact.

Wounds and blood spread across Yun Ches body wantonly like tree roots, drenching half his black clothes in just the blink of an eye. He was bleeding from all orifices, and blood was positively gushing out of the corner of his lips.

You... Qianye Yinger took half a step forward before she forced herself to stop.

A flash of darkness later, the blood turned dry and dark. It looked like it was several years old at least.

You didnt need to go this far. Chi Wuyao looked away. Its highly unlikely that Zhou Xuzi would take anyone with him besides Zhou Qingchen. At most, he will bring his greatest Guardian, Tai Yu.

If he came alone, then all the better.

This is why this queen brought Jie Xin and Jie Ling today. Although theres nothing we can do to Zhou Xuzi and Taiyu, brute-forcing our way through and killing Zhou Qingchen shouldnt be a problem at all... are you sure you want to do this yourself?

... Yun Che didnt give her a reply. He walked past Chi Wuyao and stood at the forefront of the profound ark, hateful droplets of blood dripping through his clenched fists non-stop.

Qianye Yinger walked next to Chi Wuyao and taunted her. I didnt think you would ask something that stupid. And you call yourself the Devil Queen?

Chi Wuyao smiled back. Plenty of men like intelligent women, but no one likes a woman whos too intelligent for her own good. Acting foolish once in a while makes it easier to win a mans heart... what do you think?

Heh, so this is how the Northern Devil Queen slept her way to the top. Very enlightening. But I can understand why it worked for you... after all, the men of the Northern Divine Region are a bunch of trash who are satisfied with being trapped in a prison.

Qianye Yinger retorted curtly and mercilessly before turning away... but for some reason, she couldnt forget what Chi Wuyao had just said.
