Chapter 2104 - One Day Dawn Will Break The Eternal Night

Eternal Night Kingdom of God.

Seven overlapping profound formations were running at full power. The colorful abyssal crystals inside the profound formations were emitting a profound light so bright that it pierced the eyes. The quantity and level of these abyssal crystals were such that any profound practitioner would be astonished like they were dreaming.

Four women were standing on each corner of the profound formations. The terrible power circling their hands was that of a Divine Limit Realm profound practitioner.

It was their power that was fueling the seven profound formations. The energy within the abyssal crystals was being discharged at an insane, violent rate that could easily annihilate a profound practitioner who just entered the Divine Extinction Realm; a Half God.

A woman was sitting at the center of this terrifying profound formation. Her long hair and robe were being flung about crazily, and her exquisite countenance was twitching non-stop. It was an instinctive, physical reaction caused by extreme pain.

Her expression was extremely calm, however. It stubbornly refused to reveal even a hint of pain.

Gradually, her skin began losing its rosy color and grew deathly pale. An indefinite amount of time later, scarlet blood began dripping down the corners of her lips.

Shenwu Youluan’s aura hitched a little at the sight of this. Signs of struggles flashed in her eyes until she finally said, “Supreme one, this is a level of intensity not even a late-stage Divine Extinction Realm profound practitioner can endure. Even if Wuyi possesses the Nine Profound Exquisite Body, she must surely have exceeded her limit. At this rate—”

“Silence!”

A ruthless, hoarse, and ice cold voice ripped Shenwu Youluan’s begging in half. “It will stop when I deem it is time to stop!”

Shenwu Yi was at level five Divine Extinction Realm right now. If she was anyone else, the spirit energy storm happening inside the seven profound formations would have exploded their profound veins in less than a hundred breaths. The consequences would have been unimaginable.

Shenwu Yi had been stuck inside the seven profound formations for fifteen minutes straight.

Why were they doing this? Because she possessed a universally known body that had not appeared for far too long, the Nine Profound Exquisite Body. As the Exquisite Worlds inside her body slowly awakened, her profound veins and her body’s endurance toward power and laws became far greater than that of an ordinary profound practitioner.

It was also how Shenwu Yi had grown from a peak Divine Master to a level five Divine Extinction Realm profound practitioner in just twenty years. The speed of her progress was such that no Kingdom of God even believed when their spies brought the uncertain news back to them. Even fewer people knew what kind of cruelty she went through to obtain such progress.

Shenwu Yanye had invested all of the Eternal Night Kingdom of God’s top resources on Shenwu Yi like a madwoman. As a result, given the same amount of time, the number of abyssal crystals Shenwu Yi consumed far exceeded every other Divine Son and Divine Daughter combined.

It was a progress and procedure only she could undergo. No other Divine Son and Divine Daughter could replicate this feat even if they knew about it.

Shenwu Yanye was a madwoman in every sense of the word. Every man and woman in the other Kingdoms of God knew this, and the Eternal Night Kingdom of God only knew this more.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and Shenwu Yi’s face was completely drained of blood. Her body was also spasming even harder than before.

Her expression remained as calm and collected as ever, however. It was as if she could feel neither pain nor fear.

Shenwu Youluan had long since closed her eyes, unable to look at her for even a moment longer.

It was at this moment Shenwu’s body finally started shaking violently. At the same time, her waist and her chest began splitting apart as if they were pushed way past their limit. Her aura had fallen into complete disorder.

Pwack!

Her consciousness departed her mind, and a shower of blood spurted through her lips. She slowly fell backward.

A withered hand finally reached out from behind a black curtain. In an instant, the profound light of the seven profound formations extinguished, and the rampaging spirit energy was suppressed and dispelled entirely.

“Wuyi!”

Shenwu Youluan dashed forward and caught Shenwu Yi before she could hit the floor. It took a long time before Shenwu Yi’s eyes finally regained their focus.

“Hmph. Useless thing!” Shenwu Yanye’s icy, shrill voice rang out. “Is this all the Nine Profound Exquisite Body can do?”

“Listen well, Wuyi. You must enter the sixth level of the Divine Extinction Realm before you head to the Pure Land. Otherwise, my wrath will be severe.”

Shenwu Youluan tried to say something, but she felt Shenwu Yi grabbing her hand and silencing her.

With great difficulty, Shenwu Yi climbed out of Shenwu Youluan’s lap and responded in a weak but respectful and determined voice, “You invested all of your resources and heart’s blood in me, Mother. I would not be able to forgive myself if I let down your expectations.”

“As you should,” Shenwu Yanye replied coldly. “Now, get out of my sight and rest! We will continue in seven days!”

Right as she was stepping out of the door, Shenwu Yi’s soft whispers hit her. “There is no such thing as eternal night in this world. Even the darkest night must welcome the dawn eventually.”

Shenwu Youluan abruptly stopped in her tracks.

“Aunt, you are the blue luan who’s concealed herself in darkness.”

“And your ‘phoenix’, despite all the humiliation she has suffered, did not escape into the darkness alone.”

“When the eternal night is broken by dawn, the luan and the phoenix will sing together once more.”

“...” Shenwu Youluan trembled. She gritted her teeth with all her might but still couldn’t stop her reaction.

She turned her neck but stopped halfway. It was because she didn’t dare to meet Shenwu Yi’s eyes.

An unknown amount of time later, she finally managed to turn around... to find Shenwu Yi pressing a finger to her lips.

There’s no need to say anything.

Shenwu Youluan nodded, and tears finally streamed down her cheeks.

......

The name “Fog Monarch” was engulfing the Lands of the Living once more, but this time, it was a million times fiercer than ever before.

In the past, the large majority of profound practitioners would speak of the name with doubt, argument, and ridicule. But now, their voices were infused with never-before-seen shock, horror... and a suspicion they couldn’t voice.

Even the abyssal dust of the Abyss seemed to be restless and shaking.

The whole world was in an uproar, all of them... except the Pure Land. Contrary to Yun Che and everyone’s expectations, it remained as peaceful and silent as ever.

The shallow area of the Endless Fog.

Yun Che had altered his appearance and attire and made his aura murky using the Ni Yuan Stone. Hua Caili could pass right next to him, and not even she would be able to recognize him based on his appearance and aura now.

He had maintained this posture for sixteen to eighteen hours straight. In fact, he had performed the same actions for over ten days.

Finally, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath. Then, he leaned back against the black rock behind him.

A white silhouette appeared, and a jade-like hand approached his forehead and soothed him with the holiest light of the world.

“It’s been twelve days,” she whispered. “What on earth are you searching for? Not even your soul will be able to withstand this for long if you keep it up.”

Yun Che did not answer. He simply closed his eyes and rested. It took him a good amount of time before that bone deep exhaustion in his body finally alleviated somewhat. Instead of answering Li Suo’s question though, he said with a half-smile, “It’s been twelve days, and you still didn’t rebuke me. I’m more curious about your lack-of-reaction than you are regarding your question.”

“Rebuke?” Li Suo looked puzzled. “Why would I rebuke you?”

Yun Che curled his lips. “In order to show off the Fog Monarch’s power to control the Endless Fog, I had cost an entire people their homeland. Many of their loved ones will die from abyssal corruption before they reach the closest haven as well. With your sacred heart, I thought for sure you wouldn’t be able to accept this and rebuke me for it.”

“...” Li Suo did not answer for a very long time.

When Yun Che finally closed his eyes and got ready to take a nap, Li Suo’s answer came so softly he almost missed it. “You’re too lonely.”

“... Hmm?” Yun Che stared at the face he still couldn’t see clearly after all this time. “No I’m not. I have you to keep my company, don’t I?”

Li Suo answered, “I am not He Ling. I can never know your heart, obey your will, and soothe your soul like she could.”

“Besides, I cannot manifest my body like He Ling. I am unable to comfort you when you are depressed and lonely. Every time you are gripped by the throes of loneliness and sorrow and unable to find an outlet, I cannot help but feel guilty about it. How can I possibly rebuke you knowing that?”

“Er...” Yun Che unconsciously rubbed his nose and asked weakly, “When you say ‘comfort’, you don’t mean that kind of comfort, do you?”

Li Suo: “...?”
