Chapter 825: Chapter 844 Eternal Desolation

At this moment.

Ye Xuan was like a small boat in a storm, constantly being bombarded by the six ancestor witches. The boundless ominous energy invaded his body, making the demonic roar from his mouth even more terrifying and horrifying.

Completely suppressing Ye Xuan, this made the six ancestor witches extremely excited, and they frantically waved the banners to exhibit the power of the Twelve Celestial Fiends Formation. However, the six ancestor witches didn’t know that their activation of the Twelve Dutian Gods and Demons Formation, despite causing a great calamity for Ye Xuan, was gradually awakening Ye Xuan’s demonized spiritual wisdom.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ye Xuan continued to endure the bombardment from the six ancestor witches. His body began to show cracks, and the blood waves and black light around him gradually faded, but the blood-red color in his eyes also began to fade, with a trace of clarity gradually appearing at the bottom of his eyes.

“Primordial Spirit Void!”

After a few breaths, Ye Xuan’s blood-red eyes suddenly dissipated. He finally awakened from his demonic heart, but as he came to realize he was within the Twelve Dutian Gods and Demons Formation, his face sank, and he instantly performed an undying great technique he hadn’t used in a long time.

Primordial Spirit Void!

Not in the Material World, merged into the void, Ye Xuan made a hand seal and escaped into the void, narrowly avoiding the combined strike of the six ancestor witches, causing their expressions to change drastically as they searched for Ye Xuan’s trail.

“How is this possible?”

“Where did he go?”

“No, this is an escape skill, he absolutely cannot escape from the Twelve Dutian Gods and Demons Formation!”

The six ancestor witches roared lowly, fixing their eyes on the spot where Ye Xuan disappeared, obviously trying to find his tracks.

In the void.

Ye Xuan frowned deeply. He naturally saw the ferocious and sinister looks of the six ancestor witches outside, but he became extremely depressed, blankly staring at his own hands, with both his body and mind trembling to the extreme.

“What did I… what did I do?”

“Did I… I kill her?”

“Why… why did it turn out like this?”

Ye Xuan murmured in a trembling voice, turning his stiff neck to look outside, only to see the corpse of the Guanghan Fairy quietly lying at the peak, with the knife mark at her neck being extremely glaring.

“How did this happen?”

“How did this happen?”

Ye Xuan seemed to be in a daze, staring blankly at the corpse of the Guanghan Fairy outside, his lips turning deathly pale and trembling slightly.

“What exactly did I do?”

“Did I… did I kill Xiao E for cultivation… did I… did I kill her to become a Saint?” Ye Xuan’s eyes lost focus as he kept murmuring to himself.

Boom!

Ye Xuan knelt on the ground, staring blankly at his hands, scenes from before playing out in his mind, recalling the desperate gaze of the Guanghan Fairy as she looked at him before she died.

What kind of gaze was that?

Desolate, helpless, disappointed, and heartbroken, along with a hint of indescribable relief.

“How did I become like this?”

Ye Xuan clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead like worms, with waves of sadness diffusing outwards, making his eyes look utterly defeated, his whole being seemingly lost of a soul.

Awake, awake, everything is awake.

Ye Xuan’s eyes were withered and lifeless, overwhelmed by uncontrollable sorrow that spread out from him. He grieved for the Guanghan Fairy, he grieved for himself, and he hated himself for being controlled by demonic thoughts.

In fact, when Sun Wukong transformed into the Five-Colored Divine Stone, Ye Xuan’s Heavenly Dao Second Tribulation had already descended, and it was Sun Wukong’s death that thoroughly stimulated Ye Xuan.

Sun Wukong died for him, long ago Liu Baiyi also died for him, Liu Baiyi’s only disciple Xue Ji still died for him, and many Heavenly Court members perished in soul-divine oblivion all because of him.

He felt powerless against the Saints, guilty towards himself, with a hatred towards Nuwa Primordial, triggered entirely by the death of Sun Wukong in front of him, driving Ye Xuan completely into an extremely paranoid state.

A saying goes, to bring about destruction, one must first make them mad.

Ye Xuan hated his own incompetence, hated his inability to confront a Saint. If he had the cultivation of a Saint, these people would not have died for him.

Ye Xuan loathed himself, he was wrapped in an obsession of paranoia. He desperately wanted to quickly pass the Heavenly Dao Third Tribulation to seek revenge on Nuwa Primordial, and the only way he thought of was through the tribulation of emotion, which was the Guanghan Fairy.

Lost in paranoia, Ye Xuan came to the Witch Clan Heaven and Earth and resolved to kill the Guanghan Fairy, believing that if he killed the woman he loved, it would sever the emotional tribulation, allowing him to pass the Heavenly Dao Second Tribulation, causing his cultivation to undergo earth-shattering changes.

But he was wrong, completely wrong. The so-called emotional tribulation was not his Heavenly Dao Second Tribulation, it was merely an obsession of his own making.

The true Heavenly Dao Second Tribulation actually began when Sun Wukong transformed into the Heavens, quietly descending upon him without him noticing.

His intent to sever the emotional tribulation marked the start of the Heavenly Dao Second Tribulation. When he arrived at Witch Clan Heaven and Earth, his heart filled with the ruthlessness of the Six Desires are Heartless, slaughtering the Guanghan Fairy, completely pushing him into a demonic transformation.

Worldly affairs, for every sip or peck, had the six ancestor witches not activated the Twelve Dutian Gods and Demons Formation, reviving Ye Xuan’s spiritual wisdom, he would have been swallowed by the demonic urges, becoming a monster driven solely by slaughter.

The Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, a certain death situation, every tribulation is a sure death scenario, this is not empty talk, but a terrifying calamity indeed.

Like spring breezes morphing rains, as gentle breezes touch the face, the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations are imperceptible, perhaps an unintended moment brings a calamity, surviving leads to liberation, succumbing leads to soul diminution.

Awakened, Ye Xuan completely awoke.

Yet he stared blankly at his hands, appearing devoid of life itself, an aura of chilling desolation spread subtly from his being.

Loneliness, desolation, and inerasable melancholy, the ravages of time exuding from Ye Xuan all around.

What good is it to be awake?

Everything has already happened, he is powerless to change it, he killed his love with his own hands, and although he did pass the Heavenly Dao Second Tribulation, his once perfectly formed demonic heart will never again cloud his mind.

Yet… Ye Xuan feels he has lost something very important… he lost himself… lost a woman who loved him… and for the sake of pursuing his own cultivation, erased his beloved.

Ye Xuan asks himself, what is he living for?

Is it to stand above the Nine Heavens of eternity?

To become a Saint of all beings?

To endure while heaven and earth perish, as everything rots and I remain immortal?

Ye Xuan awoke, truly awoke.

Because when he looked back suddenly, not a single person accompanied him, only solitude eternally by his side.

In years past, friends buried in yellow earth, the one he loved slain by his own hand, and on his path, lie not only the corpses of enemies, but also those of his dear ones and his beloved.
