Sheng Fu

A murderous aura swept in, and the magnificent palace crumbled in an instant.

A blurry figure appeared on the distant horizon, exuding supreme power.

The young man gripped a long sword, knowing he was doomed, yet he went forward without hesitation.

The woman's eyes were red and brimming with tears, and she said with deep reluctance, "Child, perhaps you will meet very good people, perhaps you will meet bad people..."

"But what your mother wants to tell you is that we love you."

"I'm sorry that you were born with such a difficult fate."

"..."

Suddenly, a shower of blood burst forth, and the young man fell beneath the blurry figure. The woman gazed at Chu Yu one last time before turning away, her beautiful eyes filled with a resolute determination to die.

The overwhelming killing power resembled a world-destroying tidal wave, annihilating the secret realm of time.

The light of the Blade of Time gradually vanished into nothingness.

Chu Yu stood there, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Father, mother..."

Helpless mutterings felt like a thousand arrows piercing my heart.

When despair reaches its extreme, it breeds extreme hatred!

“You hateful ‘Tai’! I will definitely kill you!” Chu Yu said through gritted teeth, heartbroken.

Suddenly, a hand landed on Chu Yu's shoulder.

Chu Yu raised her head, her eyes bloodshot with tears. Yuwen Jun looked at Chu Yu like this, and he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only stay by her side in silence.

"Tai!" This name was completely unheard of, causing Yuwen Jun's heart to sink to the bottom of the sea.

The awakening of the Demon Lord was already suffocating, and now, a mysterious being that the Time Clan personally acknowledged as infinitely close to the ultimate realm has suddenly appeared.

And that mysterious creature has remained hidden in the shadows ever since.

It's hard to imagine just how powerful that "Tai" has become after countless years.

An unprecedented sense of powerlessness filled Yuwen Jun's heart.

This feeling is like having your spine broken without warning and then never being able to get up again.

What mysteries lie within this realm of myriad ends, the origin of all things?

"Want a drink?" Yuwen Jun asked softly after some time had passed.

Chu Yu shook her head, tears streaming down her face, raised her right hand, wiped her nose with her sleeve, and slowly sheathed the Blade of Time.

"The Reincarnation Seal is still within the Time Realm," Chu Yu said, as if waking from a dream.

Yuwen Jun gently comforted him, "No rush, it should be dawn outside. Let's wash our faces first, then have breakfast, and then go to my parents-in-law's house for a meal."

As they spoke, Yuwen Jun took Chu Yu's hand and walked out of Minghun Mountain.

Within Yuxi Town.

As dawn broke and the mist lingered, Jing's parents began their morning practice in the courtyard at the foot of the mountain. Their path of cultivation could be described as being forced to grow too quickly.

They knew in their hearts that they had no hope of ever reaching the Great Yellow Court in this lifetime.

However, they cherished their blessings and knew the importance of starting the day right in the morning. They devoted themselves to their morning practice every day. Although older people are bound to be a bit rigid in their practice, Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao never had any expectations for the two of them.

Yuwen Jun brought Chu Yu to this courtyard without any warning.

This time, Yuwen Jun did not conceal his aura.

Upon sensing the presence of the aura, Jing's parents, who were already in meditation, quickly stepped out from the simple Taoist altar.

Yuwen Jun had already led Chu Yu into the main hall and taken their seats.

When the elderly couple saw Yuwen Jun arrive with Chu Yu, they noticed that both of them looked rather solemn, and their hearts trembled involuntarily. Just as they were about to ask a question, Yuwen Jun directly ordered, "Cook some of your specialty dishes."

"Don't ask any questions either."

"Please brew a pot of tea, but don't disturb us."

Mr. and Mrs. Jing understood and nodded slightly. Mr. Jing went to boil water, while Mrs. Jing entered the kitchen with a feeling of unease.

Normally, Chu Yu would greet her elders with proper respect, but at this moment, her mind was in utter turmoil...

After a long while, Father Jing placed a pot of hot tea on the table. He didn't deliberately look at Chu Yu and Yuwen Jun's expressions. He naturally wouldn't speak when he shouldn't. Moreover, even if he knew some things, he couldn't do anything truly useful for his juniors.

Thinking of this, Jing's father naturally felt somewhat sad.

But this sadness is just a meaningless emotion.

After putting down the teapot, Jing's father went to the kitchen to help.

Yuwen Jun poured Chu Yu a cup of tea. As the aroma of the tea spread, Chu Yu's eyes gradually became clearer and more determined.

"Big brother, we can win!" Chu Yu's eyes were as firm as iron.

Yuwen Jun picked up her teacup and took a sip, trying her best to calm herself down. The young man's firm tone undoubtedly lifted Yuwen Jun's spirits.

In terms of age, Yuwen Jun was no longer a young man.

After experiencing numerous wars and hardships, Yuwen Jun had almost lost his youthful spirit. However, Chu Yu's words that they could win rekindled what little youthful spirit Yuwen Jun had left. "We can win, we definitely can win!" Yuwen Jun said, taking a deep breath.

Yuwen Jun suddenly looked at Chu Yu with a serious expression and asked softly, "Do you have any strategies in mind?"

Although he had always treated Chu Yu as a child, Yuwen Jun was once a young man himself and knew that when a young man's spirits were high, his inspiration was boundless, and he would always have some wonderful ideas and flashes of inspiration.

Yuwen Jun knew that facing an opponent whose strength far surpassed his own, using so-called mature strategies and perfect tactics was nothing more than a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

But a sudden spark can truly turn the tide of battle.

As expected, Chu Yu blurted out, "Now that the Demon Lord has awakened, he will naturally become the one who restrains 'Tai'. Only the Demon Lord can be 'Tai's' opponent. If necessary, we can join forces with the Demon Lord."

"Even having the Demon Lord personally take action to seize the last Origin Chip for my elder brother wouldn't be out of the question."

"Both of them want to enter the realm of myriad ends, so the enemy of my enemy will naturally be my friend."

"In comparison, 'Tai' is even more hateful; he is pure slaughter."

"The duel between the Demon Lord and Master Gu Yong was at least a pure duel of life and death, a battle that would be remembered forever."

In the past, it was just a time of great upheaval; now it is a time of chaos and turmoil.

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun also felt that there was some truth to it. Expecting their team to face an opponent like "Tai" would naturally result in death for whoever went.

"Generally speaking, this plan is feasible, but it needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. At present, the Demon Lord is unaware of the existence of 'Tai'!"

"Take it one step at a time. First, go to the Ruins of Time and retrieve the Seal of Reincarnation."

Suddenly, an unexpected ripple of energy swept through Yuxi Town.

Yuwen Jun frowned immediately, subconsciously sensing the entire Yuxi Town. At this moment, Yuwen Jun was extremely nervous.

Chu Yu's hand also instantly gripped the hilt of the Blade of Time.

"Do not mention the words 'Seal of Reincarnation,' nor openly call out the name 'Tai.' Every word and action will have a response from Heaven and Earth. The influence of 'Tai' has already merged into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Although there is a field around Yuxi Town that obscures the secrets of Heaven, if these words are mentioned frequently, the field will be completely permeated." The Master's voice rang in the hearts of Yuwen Jun and Chu Yu at the same time.

In the silence, the dragon leader subtly moved his mind, reinforcing the power of the field, and left an ancient dragon mark on Yuwen Jun and Chu Yu respectively to conceal the secrets of heaven.

In an instant, Yuwen Jun's heart was ablaze with intense heat, and golden-red flames burned fiercely in his eyes.

I have never felt so stifled in my life, nor have I ever felt such suffocating oppression.

The two brothers exchanged glances, and everything was understood without words.

Yuwen Jun subconsciously picked up the teacup, but suddenly felt another aura. One wave subsided only to be followed by another, almost leaving Yuwen Jun exhausted.

However, after carefully sensing it, Yuwen Jun realized what was happening and showed a look of surprise.

"Wait a moment, an old friend is coming to visit, I will go and meet him," Yuwen Jun said softly to Chu Yu.

On the quiet path outside Yuxi Town, snow-capped mountains are surrounded by a light mist.

A tall, beautiful woman stood at the border, her heart filled with conflict, hesitant to take a step forward.

The woman wore a tattered black dress and appeared to be around thirty-five years old. She had deep-set features, and her beautiful eyes held a mesmerizing look. Her graying temples added to her profound sense of vicissitude and desolation.

Upon seeing Yuwen Jun, the woman immediately prostrated herself on the ground and bowed, saying, "Yunnu greets Your Highness."

Yuwen Jun quickly helped the woman in front of him up. He looked slightly unwell, and a long-standing sense of guilt welled up inside him.

Yunnu came from Dongtian Lake outside the capital of the Demon Realm, where she was imprisoned for countless years.

"It's my incompetence that has caused you to suffer!" Yuwen Jun said, her eyes welling up with tears.

Upon hearing this, Yunnu burst into tears. She had thought that she would be rejected here, as she was already a useless, wandering ghost. She never expected that this prince would treat her so honestly.

Years of grievances and heartache poured out like a flood bursting its banks.

Yuwen Jun instinctively stepped forward and hugged the other person, whispering, "I know the Demon Lord has awakened, but when he fell into a deep sleep, I still didn't have the courage to go to Dongtian Lake to save you. I'm sorry..."

Unbeknownst to him, Yuwen Jun felt a warm, damp sensation in his chest, a mixture of Yun Nu's tears and Yuwen Jun's own guilt.

After a long while, Yunnu reluctantly left Yuwen Jun's embrace, sobbing softly, "After the Demon Lord awoke, he went to Dongtian Lake. He already knew that the Origin Chip had been taken away by His Highness, and he saw all the cause and effect."

"He simply told me that I was free."

"I carefully and cautiously traversed mountains and valleys to finally arrive here."

Yuwen Jun then noticed that although Yun Nu had the cultivation level of the late Lingxiao stage, her true essence was unstable and her bones were gradually decaying. During her imprisonment, she had never seen the light of day.

She was also brave, living on, living for the thought of seeing the light of day again.

In the end, it was the very people who imprisoned her who gave her freedom, but this freedom made her feel like she was trapped in an even more inescapable cage.

Her beliefs were on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly, Yuwen Jun took Yun Nu's hand, crossed the border, and led her into Yuxi Town.

Yuwen Jun lowered his head slightly, unable to hide his guilt, and said, "Have a good meal first, and then I will give you two pills. You should cultivate diligently for a while and enter the Boundless Realm first. This place will always be your home."

After a long and arduous journey, I finally felt at peace.

But she felt that all of this was so unreal.

"Do not worry about the future, nor be anxious about the present. You will evolve true dragon bloodline, enter the Boundless Realm, and usher in a bright and glorious life."

"In another half hour, the sun will rise, and the sunlight in Yuxi Town is warm." (End of Chapter)
