Chapter 779: Chapter 798: Ten Deaths and No Life

“Zhen Yuanzi, are you threatening me?” Nuwa’s voice was icy, her gaze toward Zhen Yuanzi extremely unfriendly, with anger brewing beneath the surface.

“Nuwa Daoist, as a Saint, how dare I threaten you? It’s merely the cycle of karma; today, I am simply asking for the favor that Fu Xi once owed,” Zhen Yuanzi spoke smoothly.

As Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, Nuwa’s expression was cloudy and uncertain, clearly struggling with a significant dilemma.

True to the saying that sibling bonds are deep, if Nuwa cared for anyone, it would only be Fu Xi, for he was her brother. Now, with Zhen Yuanzi coming to her to claim a favor, it left her facing a difficult choice.

All eyes focused, holding their breath, as Nuwa was caught in her decision-making, and that drew everyone’s gaze to her. If Ye Xuan were to survive this day, there would certainly be more unpredictable factors in the future.

“Zhen Yuanzi, I cannot agree to your request.”

After dozens of breaths passed, Nuwa’s hesitation vanished, her voice cold and merciless as she flatly refused Zhen Yuanzi’s request, causing Zhen Yuanzi’s once smiling expression to freeze, his brow furrowing deeply.

“Nuwa Daoist, are you truly going to disregard your brother?” Zhen Yuanzi asked in a low voice.

“The past favor will be returned another day, but for today, Ye Xuan must die.”

Nuwa’s voice was cold, as she was clear in her thinking. Ye Xuan was a great future threat; if she spared his life today and he achieved sainthood in the future, they would be at each other’s throats until death. This was not the outcome she wished to see.

“Stand down.”

The Heaven and Earth Laws thundered down upon Zhen Yuanzi, forcing him back a dozen steps, his face showing extreme grimness.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Holy Light descended once more, and as Nuwa raised her hand, this time no one would be able to stop her from slaying Ye Xuan.

“Master.”

Suddenly, a beautiful figure quietly stood in front of Ye Xuan, with the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s eyes brimming with tears as she knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing to Nuwa, her clear tears streaming down her cheeks, dropping to the ground.

“Mysterious Maiden, step aside,” Nuwa said, her face showing a flash of surprise, her voice ice-cold.

“Master, if you want to kill, then kill me instead, I just beg you to spare him a path to life!” the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden pleaded humbly, determinedly protecting Ye Xuan behind her.

“Quickly go, you can’t stop her.”

Ye Xuan hadn’t expected that at the moment of his imminent death, the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden would actually stand in front of him. This complicated his feelings immensely, as he tried to pull the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden up, urging her to leave the area quickly.

Because Ye Xuan had realized that Nuwa would certainly not let her go today, and even though the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was her disciple, Nuwa would not stay her hand.

“Ye Xuan, do you know? I don’t know from when, but my heart has been filled with you. You are the husband of me, the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden. If you die, why should I live alone?”

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden smiled tragically, her smile contained indescribable emotions, which left Ye Xuan with a stupefied gaze and his mind trembling intensely at this moment.

“Is it really worth it?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes were dazed, his mind trembling slightly, and the scenes of his acquaintance with the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden flashed through his mind as he mumbled.

“It’s worth it.” The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden smiled, but tears streamed down from her eyes.

Looking at the clear tears on the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s cheeks, Ye Xuan stood stunned and speechless. He had never expected to develop any feelings for the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, whom he had married in the past to solidify his position as the Heavenly Emperor and whom he regarded as nothing more than an object.

Ye Xuan truly did not know when the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden had developed such deep feelings for him, to the point of standing in front of him when Nuwa was about to strike him.

“Scourge!”

Nuwa’s cold reprimand rang out, her eyes already showing a killing intent. Even though the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was her disciple, Nuwa was determined to act mercilessly against anyone who dared to block her from suppressing Ye Xuan, not even slightly swayed by the mentor-disciple bond.

“Great Uncle, escape!”

Suddenly, a desperate cry rang out, and something unexpected happened.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Mountain and River Map, Nuwa’s Spiritual Treasure, suddenly pressed down upon her head. The intense Daluo Immortal Light erupted wildly, aiming to suppress Nuwa on the spot.

And the person who launched this surprise attack was none other than Xue Fengge, who had been following Nuwa all along—previously known as Liu Baiyi’s disciple Xue Ji, she was also the hidden piece Ye Xuan planted by Nuwa’s side.

Xue Ji, dressed in white as snow, resembled Liu Baiyi’s appearance in the past. She smiled at this moment, but there was deep parting sadness and bitterness in her eyes. Her body quivered as she poured all her cultivation into the Mountain and River Map, hoping only to give Ye Xuan this last chance for survival.

“Don’t!”

Ye Xuan abruptly woke up, his eyes red with an urge to burst, and from his mouth came a heartrending, gut-wrenching roar, for he deeply understood that when Xue Ji made a sneak attack on Nuwa, her end would be too horrible to witness—how could he ever face Liu Baiyi after that?

“Uncle-Master, I’m sorry, Xue Ji has to leave. All I can do now is this; I’ve re-reforged the Mountain and River Map, which should hold her off for ten breaths’ time. You must run away now!” Xue Ji’s body was disintegrating, her striking blood dyeing her form, and yet at that moment, she cried out to Ye Xuan, urging him through her tears.

Boom!

The Mountain and River Map glowed brightly, an Innate Spiritual Treasure and one of Nuwa’s prized possessions, bestowed upon Xue Ji. Never did Nuwa expect that her carefully nurtured disciple would betray her at this critical juncture, bringing her immense trouble.

“Traitor!”

Finally, Nuwa was enraged, having never felt such anger before. First the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden defected, and now Xue Fengge too—this was simply a disgrace, making her, a great Saint, a laughingstock.

Boom, boom, boom.

The Mountain and River Map pressed down. Three breaths had already passed, leaving only seven breaths for Ye Xuan. Once Nuwa recovered from her shock, Ye Xuan would certainly not be able to escape.

Run!

Ye Xuan was a decisive man, not given to hesitancy. He knew well that if he did not flee, all of Xue Ji’s sacrifices would have been for naught.

Boom!

Ye Xuan forcibly increased his cultivation, ready to transform into a streak of Escape Light and flee, but before he could get away, over a dozen figures explosively surrounded him—it was Duobao Tathagata, Emperor Fengdu, and others.

“Think you can leave? Can you really escape?” Emperor Fengdu’s killing intent was chaotic, completely cutting off Ye Xuan’s path of retreat.

“Your Majesty, escape quickly!”

Boom, boom, boom—the few remaining members of the Heavenly Court desperately charged at Emperor Fengdu and the others. The three Quasi-Saints, despite being gravely injured, launched a palm strike at Emperor Fengdu, hoping only to carve out a route for Ye Xuan’s escape.

Bang!

With a sky-shattering blast, the void cracked open, and the Mountain and River Map above Nuwa’s head exploded without waiting for the ten breaths to pass. At that moment, the Heaven and Earth Holy Light sealed the skies and trapped the ground, extinguishing Ye Xuan’s last sliver of hope for escape.

“Traitor, your death is well-deserved.”

All are ants beneath the Saints, and Xue Ji had gravely underestimated Nuwa’s saintly cultivation, merely delaying her for five breaths before meeting her end by a beam of Heaven and Earth Holy Light.

Bang!

“No!”

The Heavenly Vault thundered, the flesh shattered, and amidst Ye Xuan’s piercing, furious roar, Xue Ji was obliterated by the Heaven and Earth Holy Light, her flesh rapidly disintegrating, yet even in her final moments, she still revealed her last smile to Ye Xuan.

“Xue Ji!”

Ye Xuan went completely mad; with his own eyes he witnessed Xue Ji’s tragic death at the hands of Nuwa, an inconceivable Demon Light violently flaring around him, a boundless, bloody aura flooding out into the world.

“Nuwa, I will tear your body into ten thousand pieces.”

Ye Xuan, with strength from unknown depths, threw a punch at Nuwa. The Demon Light that exploded across the Heavenly Vault was terrifying and brilliant, but to Nuwa, the strike was utterly meaningless.

Bang!

A ray of Holy Light extinguished Ye Xuan’s Fist Radiance and knocked him to the ground once again. At that moment, the Chaos Heavenly Sword appeared out of nowhere in the void, ominously looming over Ye Xuan, ready to unleash its power to suppress and shatter the Divine Soul.

“No one can save you; today, this Saint will scatter your soul to oblivion.”

Nuwa’s aura was icy and merciless. Truly enraged now, she stepped through the emptiness towards Ye Xuan, because she intended to personally wield the Chaos Heavenly Sword and execute him on the spot.

Boom, boom, boom!

Chaos overwhelmed Heaven and Earth, reality warped, and as Nuwa brandished the sword, a strand of Heaven and Earth Holy Light illuminated the Three Realms, even causing the great celestial bodies in the Taixiao Starry Sky to halt in their paths.

“Die!”

Boom!

Ultimately, Nuwa struck out at Ye Xuan with her sword—a sword that shattered Heaven and Earth, swept away the starry sky, a sword capable of burying existence itself. No one could survive this sword strike.

“Enough!”

Suddenly, from the expanse of the Heavenly Vault, from all directions, killing sounds exploded, and the Heaven and Earth Laws shattered to pieces. Millions of miles of Yuntian vanished, and a point of azure light descended from beyond the heavens, forcibly blasting away Nuwa’s Chaos Heavenly Sword, sending her reeling back tens of thousands of miles, her expression drastically changing, staring in utter shock towards the edges of the sky.
