Chapter 1104: "Twists of Fate Beneath Starlit Skies"

He held it in for a long time before blurting out:

"What the...? Who plays like this?"

As he spoke,

from the direction of East City, he glimpsed two rays of escaping light speeding toward them, transforming midair into two women dressed in Immortal Dresses.

One carried Mu Nuo’s head.

One carried Mu Nuo’s headless body.

Joining the previous three gentle women, they looked down at Xu Yuan with soft, smiling gazes.

Watching the young man in luxurious robes retreat, one woman chuckled and smiled:

"You seem surprised. What I said earlier was not a joke. If you truly aim to defy the heavens, you must possess power to match, don’t you agree?"

Xu Yuan’s lip twitched, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness lingered in his heart:

"What... What kind of spellcraft is this?"

As his words landed,

Xu Yuan suddenly saw one of the women slowly descending to the ground:

"A crafted external body, made for the sole purpose of defying the heavens."

As she descended, she smiled and continued:

"That ’Heaven’ is truly petty. When a creature’s strength surpasses a certain threshold, it will manifest in some form to destroy them. This is my way of concealing myself."

"....."

Xu Yuan smacked his lips and weakly muttered in a low voice:

"Speaking of which... the Heavenly Gate Sword Immortal’s death..."

"Probably so."

The Lady Wen nodded gently, her soft eyes revealing a glimmer of somber complexity:

"Although I didn’t witness his demise myself, by then he was already unrivaled in the world. Other than that ’Heaven,’ I cannot think of anyone else who could have killed him."

As she spoke,

she sighed lightly:

"But that man’s end can be considered self-inflicted. He was far too arrogant, his arrogance knew no bounds. Dying at the hands of that ’Heaven’ was, perhaps, his destined conclusion."

"..."

In an inescapable situation,

even the most shocking news becomes fleeting noise.

Xu Yuan no longer cared about the secrets regarding the Heavenly Gate Sword Immortal’s death, his mind spinning wildly for a solution.

Above him, all the Lady Wen clones were merely ordinary Saints, not even possessing the Dao Charm.

And yet, it was hopeless.

Even without Dao Charm, each of them was still a powerful Saint.

Countless thoughts flashed across his mind, ultimately distilling into a single word.

Death.

There was no escape.

Xu Yuan wanted to wield the Dao Domain to counter them but was thwarted by the descending woman’s Void Realm shattering technique.

Amid the ruins beneath the starlit sky, all was eerily quiet.

Xu Yuan exhaled a soft sigh and bellowed, standing unmoving.

The Lady Wen began stepping closer.

The distance between the two shortened continuously,

until,

a sudden shout shattered the night’s silence, echoing across the city.

"Emperor Bai, save me!"

"..." Xu Yuan.

Don’t misunderstand—he wasn’t the one shouting.

Though terrified, he hadn’t stooped to shamelessly seeking help in blind desperation.

The voice’s source was Mu Nuo.

He roared madly:

"Emperor Bai, take me back to the Ancient Abyss. Give me time, and I will help you exterminate the entire Human Race."

"..."

The Lady Wen froze in her steps and raised her gaze to the Sky Dome, where the silent Dragon Emperor remained poised above.

A turn of events?

Xu Yuan’s brows furrowed.

If Emperor Bai joined the fray, the current situation could truly take an unpredictable turn.

But alas, Emperor Bai’s reaction to Mu Nuo’s plea was indifferent; his serene, draconic eyes revealed no emotion as he quietly matched the Lady Wen’s gaze.

In the Silent City, only Mu Nuo’s death-throes scream echoed incessantly:

"Emperor Bai, act now! My current body can endure that woman for three breaths longer. Don’t you want to lead the Demon Race into conquering the Central Lands Fourteen States? With me, you’ll have an immortal army!!"

"...."

Emperor Bai and the Lady Wen remained unspoken.

They did not transmit sound mentally.

The Celestial Fates Divine Soul heard nothing of their thoughts.

Mu Nuo seemed to realize something was amiss and shifted his tone, madness turning to malice:

"Emperor Bai, don’t forget—I hold most of your Ancient Abyss’s classified information in my mind. If you don’t save me, I will..."

"Boom————"

A resounding blast echoed through the heavens, abruptly silencing his cries.

In an instant, Emperor Bai appeared before the four women and punched, obliterating Mu Nuo’s chattering jaw.

Staring down at Mu Nuo’s incredulous expression, Emperor Bai turned to the Lady Wen holding half of his severed head:

"Miss Wen."

The Lady Wen smiled faintly, her hand abruptly exerting force. Accompanied by a burst of Gang Wind, soul blood splattered instantly.

With the combined might of two Supreme Saints, Mu Nuo met his end without room for resistance.

He was dead.

From the moment Xu Yuan poured the Dragon Transformation Essence into his body, Mu Nuo’s fate had been sealed by the decisions of these Supreme Saints.

Emperor Bai would never allow Mu Nuo to remain alive.

For Mu Nuo possessed unparalleled secrets of the Ancient Abyss.

For Mu Nuo, if left unchecked, would grow uncontrollably strong and eventually devour his master.

Even with shared enemies, Emperor Bai, as the Lord of the Ancient Abyss, would never let a being like Mu Nuo continue to exist.

The sects too would never tolerate such a calamity-seeming existence defecting to the Ancient Abyss.

Crushing Mu Nuo’s skull, the Lady Wen watched his scattered remains dissipate into the world and murmured:

"Seems this wasn’t a calamity after all."

Then,

she turned her gaze to the man before her:

"Now, will the esteemed Monster Emperor be leaving?"

Emperor Bai did not reply immediately, glancing at two figures frantically fleeing toward the west of the city.

In the pause between their exchange of glances, Xu Yuan dragged the stunned Li Junwu and bolted toward Feng Jiuxuan’s direction, running headlong without looking back.

This action naturally did not escape the Lady Wen’s oversight, though she refrained from intercepting immediately due to the proximity of the Lord of the Ancient Abyss.
