Chapter 106: Cloud's End Cliff

Chapter 106: Cloud's End Cliff"This is my second body," The Devil body, standing beside Yun Wuji, spoke. His voice was identical to Yun Wuji's, and his expression, speech, and mannerisms were the same.

Which was obvious since Yun Wuji was the one controlling it.

*I'll refer to the second body as the 'devil body' from now on.*

"Second body?!!!" they all exclaimed in confusion. Since when could someone have two bodies?

Curiosity got the better of them as they approached the devil body, inspecting him closely. Feng Hanyue, ever the curious one, reached out and started poking his face, even stretching his cheeks playfully.

"Hey, that hurts!" Yun Wuji's main body scolded as he grabbed Feng Hanyue's hand, pulling it away from the devil body.

The two bodies shared their senses since the devil body was technically an extension of him. Whatever pain one experienced, the other would feel it just the same.

"I feel a bone-chilling coldness, and it's not coming from ice profound energy," Gong Yuxian suddenly said, inspecting him closely. As she approached, a sense of oppression and coldness emanated from him. Being someone who cultivated ice profound energy, she found this particularly strange. "What kind of profound energy is this?"

"It's darkness profound energy," the devil body replied, as dark profound energy began to appear from his body like dark flickering flames. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Darkness? Didn't you say that although it's strong, it shortens the user's lifespan and can even disorder their personality?" Chu Yueli frowned as she asked.

She clearly remembered him saying this to her some time ago when they first met in Floating Cloud City.

"Yeah, that's true for others, but not for me. Besides, the chance of it actually disordering someone's personality is extremely low," Yun Wuji replied calmly. The reason why 'devil people' suffer from those negative consequences is simply that their bodies aren't naturally suited to cultivate dark profound energy.

"Your face is pale. What did you do this time?" Chu Yuechan had been focused on the devil body earlier, so she hadn't noticed it right away. But now, as she looked at him properly, she saw his pale face and weakened aura. Without a second thought, she pulled him into her arms, her voice filled with anger and worry as she reprimanded him, "Didn't you promise me you'd never do anything reckless like this again?!"

"What happened to you?!" Hearing her words, all the girls surrounding the devil body turned to him and rushed over, their faces filled with concern and worry.

"...Don't worry, it's just a small backlash from creating my second body," Yun Wuji said, resting his head on Chu Yuechan's ample chest and replying with a smile.

Creating his second body caused him to suffer a backlash; he would experience a period of weakness, but it was no big deal to him. After all, he doesn't need to use his battle strength right now; he can deploy almost all the powerhouses in the continent to do his bidding.

"Hmph! You are still so reckless!" Chu Yuechan snorted in dissatisfaction, clearly recalling the time when she had found him lying on the ground, his body completely broken.

"You need to rest, so we will continue talking later. Sister Cang Yue, please stay and take care of him." After confirming that he was only temporarily weak and wasn't injured, Gong Yuxian spoke and, along with the others, left him to rest.

After all, she didn't need to think too hard to know that if more than one of his wives stayed to take care of him, it might lead to some of his weird role plays or even an orgy.

"Hmm, don't worry, it's only normal for me to look after my husband," Cang Yue said, holding his arm as she answered Gong Yuxian.

"Don't do anything strange, and you better rest properly!" His other wives warned him once more before leaving.

Although they were curious about his second body and wanted to know more about it, they decided to wait. Since he needed rest, they could save their questions for when he had fully recovered.

"..." Yun Wuji watched them leave, smiling helplessly. 'Aren't they overreacting?' he thought. He wasn't even injured! But at the same time, he felt a warmth from their concern, something he hadn't felt since his master died...

"Husband, you need to rest. Let me help you to your bed," Cang Yue said gently, wrapping her arms around him to support him as she led him to rest.

"...Alright, I was planning to do that anyway," Yun Wuji's lips twitched, amused by how she acted as if he were heavily wounded or on the verge of death. He sighed and followed her, while simultaneously focusing his senses on the devil body, feeling the dark profound energy surging within it.

The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign was at the 6th level Sovereign Profound Realm, but because there were some losses in the process of refining it, the devil body only reached the 2nd level Sovereign Profound Realm.

However, these were just minor losses, completely acceptable. As long as he had the right resources and environment, he would be able to recover the original strength of the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign.

The advantage of this was that he wasn't technically cultivating, but rather recovering his cultivation. All he needed was to bathe in dense dark energy or consume dark resources to return to his 'original' level of strength.

Thinking about this, Yun Wuji couldn't help but wonder, 'If I were to devour all the almost 100 Devil Origin Orbs of the surviving devils outside the primal chaos, how strong would I become?'

...

Two days later, on the Azure Cloud Continent, at Cloud's End Cliff.

After recovering his strength, Yun Wuji immediately made his way to this location, accompanied by his devil body.

Cloud's End Cliff is the deadliest place on the Azure Cloud Continent, earning the nickname "Death God's Graveyard." No one has ever managed to return after falling from this cliff.

Yun Wuji wanted to help his devil body recover at a faster speed, and on this entire planet, this was the best place he could think of.

This cliff contained a pocket dimension, and according to what he knew, the density of the dark energy in that dimension was comparable to a middle or even upper realms of the God

Realm.

*This was mentioned in the novel.*

Yun Wuji controlled the devil body and slowly walked to the edge of the cliff. Without

hesitation, he jumped down.

Swoosh!

The wind howled in his ears as he plummeted towards the endless abyss below, resembling a falling meteor. As he descended, the surrounding darkness swallowed him, yet, oddly, he

could see everything around him with perfect clarity.

"It's here!" After descending over thirty thousand kilometers, Yun Wuji sensed the dark profound energy emanating from below. Upon reaching the barrier that separated the pocket dimension from the outside world, he didn't hesitate and continued his descent.

Bang!

After passing through the barrier of darkness, a massive tearing force struck him from below. In the blink of an eye, he was yanked toward the ground, crashing with a resounding bang.

He fell headfirst, descending for thousands of kilometers before finally smashing into the exceptionally tough floor. Pain shot through his entire body, leaving him numb as he

collapsed onto it.

"That fucking hurt," Yun Wuji muttered, slowly standing up as he pressed one hand to his head and the other against the floor for support.

"AOOOOUUU!!"

Just as he stood up, a deep and muffled roar suddenly echoed from far ahead. The sudden sound startled him. Though it was distant, he felt his blood recoil uncontrollably.

Yun Wuji wasn't surprised by the roars of the beasts here, he knew that this pocked world contains a vast number of ancient devil beasts, with even the weakest at least at the level of

the Divine Origin Realm.

"ROARR!!"

"HSSSS!!!"

"Hehe, Diddy, I mean daddy's here!"

The roaring sounds of the gigantic dark beasts continued to echo in the distance. Yun Wuji surveyed his surroundings before cautiously withdrawing all his aura. He then slowly and silently moved in the opposite direction from where the roars had come.

In this world of darkness, even Divine Profound practitioners would easily lose their sense of direction. However, the devil body, which possessed the dark profound energy, was clearly

not one of them.

He didn't dare to release an aura too strong, fearing it might attract one of the gigantic dark beasts whose locations were unknown to him. As a result, he didn't fly at a very fast speed, but his flight remained steady and on course.

As he pierced through the darkness, Yun Wuji eventually reached an incomparably quiet

region. No gigantic dark beasts lingered here, and they didn't dare to approach either. Even sound seemed to be isolated from this place, and Yun Wuji could no longer hear the roars of

the gigantic dark beasts.

Gradually, as Yun Wuji's speed slowed, a strangely brilliant purple light began to emerge in the world of darkness.

This was a vast purple sea of flowers, where countless bizarre stalks swayed amidst the purple light. Demonic flowers bloomed proudly atop deep purple stems, and every petal seemed to be made of lustrous, shiny purple jade. Each petal emitted a brilliant purple light and released a dull purple mist, as though it had risen from the very underworld itself. The Netherworld Udumbara Flower.

In this world of darkness that could devour everything, the light they exuded was not buried

by the darkness in the slightest.

In the next chapter, there will be a time skip, and Jasmine will make her appearance.
