899 14.175 Last Violet Star – The Devil King and Immortal Emperor
Upper Realms, Heavenly Domain...
Ye Guiya, the King of Devil, broke the seals on his body and stealthily ascended to visit his greatest foe, the Immortal Emperor, Hei Tianyu. His unexpected presence resulted in too many fatalities in the Heavenly Realm, and their conflict even wounded the Crowned King, Hei Wan. Ye Guiya’s might is still as great as the Immortal Emperor, despite his prolonged weakness.
“We have an intruder! Block him!
“It’s him. The King of Devils!”
“Argh! Report to the Immortal Emperor!”
Ye Guiya was acting like a reaper at this very moment because, with every of his move, a life was lost. His hands were stained with the color of blood, and a trail of crimson was left in his path. Until he entered the throne room, where the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress waited, no one was capable of stopping him.
The Immortal Empress whispered to her husband, “I told you he would come here directly.
“Un, wife.” responded the Immortal Emperor.
They appear to be so at ease, in contrast to Ye Guiya, who was furious. He was on the verge of jumping at these two and killing them, but he realized that he couldn’t defeat them on his own. He was already injured from fighting their eldest son from earlier, let alone these two immortals that rule everything under the Heavenly Realm.
.....
The King of Devils yells, “Where is she?! Where is my wife?!”
This query made it very clear that despite the breach in the barrier separating the mortal realm from the infernal area, he was still unable to locate his wife in the realm of the living. This question caused the Immortal Empress to look at him with contempt and the Immortal Emperor to stare at him coldly.
The Immortal Empress said, “Why don’t you think about what you have done after you have fallen back to your land? Didn’t you have another son with another woman? Do you think ‘She’ who had the bloodline of my Xue Clan can bear it? Even if her blood isn’t pure our bloodline has one unchanged rule.”
“We can only love one man/woman in all our lives. So we treat every other half of the clan to be the most important. The problem was with you right from the very beginning. That cousin of mine had chosen such a cowardly man. Even though everyone knows you were punished by us because of the forbidden relationship between a Goddess and a Devil, in the first place it was you who had given up first and a man who can’t fight the three realms for his beloved.”
The Devil King retorts, “That’s not true! I only love her!”
“Pfft! Is that so? Is that why you allowed that Demoness to steal your blood and have a son? Steal might not be the right word as you know everything that is happening in your own domain. What you love the most is strength, not a beloved!” said the Immortal Empress quite sarcastically.
In a rage, the Devil King tried to attack the Immortal Empress while shouting, “Shut up! You damn bitch!”
Of fact his attack was useless, as the Immortal Emperor moved, his strike did not even make it to the Immortal Empress’s side. The Immortal Emperor averted his extended hand and seized it with the same uncontrollable force as his strength. After the King of the Devils dared to injure his wife in front of him, the Immortal Emperor became enraged. Such boldness had never been shown before.
“You dare!!!” shouted the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor struck Ye Guiya directly, causing him to fly back with the blow. He had to flip around to control his fall even then his back still slammed into the walls of the throne chamber.
BANG!
Tsk!
“You and your overprotective nature! You even did great and made sure my son grew up the same way as you do. I only intended to poke his other half and he almost killed me on the spot. You fucking taught him well!” said Ye Guiya.
Cough!
“Where is my wife?” asked Ye Guiya.
The Immortal Empress yelled, “I won’t tell your ass...”
“At the Infernal Region’s deepest area. After completing her punishment as Mortal she chooses to be reborn as a demon this time.” The Immortal Emperor said.
The Immortal Empress said, “Darling, why are you telling him!?” complained Xue Wuxia while pouting.
The Immortal Emperor said, “Honey, your cousin had sacrificed all she could to get what she wanted. Don’t... don’t separate them anymore.”
“Sigh~ okay. As you said she indeed suffered enough.” The Immortal Empress gave in.
Ye Guiya, the King of the Devil, was confused by what he was hearing. He was unable to understand what the pair in front of him was saying.
“W-What are you... talking about?” asked Ye Guiya.
The Immortal Empress snorted before saying, “After the former Demon Queen had been killed by her own son a new Demon Queen would be born like how a new Immortal Emperor would be enthroned as long as the former ascended or how a human emperor was chosen among the mortals. It is the law of this world. That stupid cousin of mine surrendered her memories of the past and kept only her feelings for you when he begged us to help her become the new Demon Queen. That’s the reason you could no longer feel her soul as her soul had been changed completely to match her new body.”
“I know what you are thinking, but your wife has always been with you in the Infernal Region ever since she finished her punishment. It is you who didn’t recognize her at all.” The Immortal Emperor said.
Speechless and stunned Ye Guiya couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Ye Guiya screamed, “You are lying!!!”
“You would lie to you! Your wife, despite not being a pureblood Xue, is still my distant cousin. My husband would never touch my relatives without my permission. She wished to become a demon so we left her be. Because I know that as a Xue she could never choose the other half she had chosen for her whole life. That’s the only choice she made. It was you... This blind man... Who couldn’t even recognize his own wife!” said the Immortal Empress.
The Immortal Emperor spoke, “Even knowing so this emperor cannot allow you to just leave this place. You killed too much just to enter this throne room. I can’t just let you go as I am the ruler of this heavenly domain.”
Standing up, the Upper Realm’s Emperor drew his sword. The Immortal Empress stood back, holding her husband’s sword’s sheath, and let the two battle it out in the middle. They were forced to engage in combat since the King of Devil had killed too many deaths among soldiers guarding the Imperial Palace.
The Immortal Empress said to his husband, “Be careful, darling.”
“Um. I will!”
“Snort* Who the hell is afraid of you!!? Let’s get this over with!” said the King of Devils.
Outside of the Ice Jade Palace, Ye Guiya and Hei Tianyu had teleported. They began fighting fiercely in the skies as everyone was watching them. Everyone is watching as the suffocating aura waves collide and spread over the Upper Realm. The Mortal Realm and Infernal Region were much more affected by the battle’s shockwave. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, erupting volcanoes, and other all-natural catastrophes occur often. Since the Upper Realm’s War of Immortals took place, this has been occurring.

At the Lan Zhuayun Sect...
The ground begins to tremble, practically causing breaches in the earth itself. When the cultivators were all gazing at the skies with brooding looks, the mortals were all in a panic. When they leave their house, Supreme Master Lan and Supreme Elder Lan have troubled expressions on their faces as they glance skyward. Even though it was the first time they had experienced such a strong earthquake on the ground, they were able to infer its origin.
“The earthquakes are caused by a huge power. Did something happen in the upper realm?” asked Old Sect Master Lan.
The Bai Couple who suddenly appeared beside them commented,
Xue Wuyue, Madam Bai said, “I’ve only seen the realms shake like this once before. That was when the Immortal Emperor fought with the King of Devils.”
“Since the barrier between the Mortal Realm and Infernal Region broke it means that the King of Devils had escaped from his restraints. Did he ascend up to confront the Immortal Emperor once again?” said Bai Yuyan, the former Sect Master of the Bai Lengshui Sect.
“That can only be the answer.” Madam Bai said.
The former Great elder says, “But if this continues our city would be destroyed by the aftereffects of their battle. What should we do?”
“No need to do anything. Look up,” says Bai Yuyan.
They turned to face the sky and noticed Xia Jieye flying above the entire city. In the four angles of both the capital city and the west city, he tossed a few space crystals. Fortunately, these two cities were close to one another. Xia Jieye turned on the dimensional defense formation that was housed within the elemental crystals he used as the formation’s medium after making a few hand gestures.
Hei Anjing, his wife, produced these crystals, which Chun Hongyun-Jun is using to trigger a formation that would shield them from the natural disasters brought on by the Upper Realm’s tremors. A dark violet barrier that was built even higher than each city’s original barriers encircled the two cities in a matter of minutes.
The vibrations ceased as soon as the deep violet barrier encircled the two cities, and nothing disastrous ever occurred inside the barrier. They were entirely shielded and kept apart from anything going on outside the barrier.
Xia Jieye said, “This should be enough. That shaking almost woke up my children. Those old men should have fought in the void than caused this much chaos. So annoying.” Only then did he return home to accompany his wife and twins to nap. It was in the middle of the day when the earthquakes started happening.
Every person in the West Territory had witnessed what Chun Hongyun-Jun had done and had applauded him wherever he or she was. To the eyes of the mortals, Chun Hongyun-Jun isn’t a devil spawn as the others had said. He is a Deity who protects the Lan Zhuayun Sect and watches over their city.
In the city...
“The earthquakes had stopped?”
“Was that Chun Hongyun-Jun just now? Did he stop the tremors of the land?”
“I think he made that dark violet barrier. When he created it the shaking of the land stopped.”
“Phew~ I thought I was going to die.”
“Chun Hongyun-Jun saved us! He is our deity!”
“Let’s prepare some offerings for their family!”
“Lord Hei and the twins love my Moon cakes. I shall make a lot.”
“Let’s send some more delicacies!”
“Start moving your ass. Don’t block the road!!!”
“Praise Chun Hongyun-Jun!”
The tremor cracked the capital’s roadways while everyone was having a good time in the marketplace. A few lives were lost as a result of the accidents and some buildings fell owing to the impact. A dark violet barrier suddenly emerged over the mortals’ heads, revealing their human emperor riding on the back of a black dragon as they were about to die. Suddenly all the shaking of the ground had halted.
“It’s the Human Emperor and his Godly Dragon King!”
“They came to save us!”
“Thank the Gods! Praise your majesty!!!”
The people of the capital didn’t know who built the new barrier surrounding the city, but the Human Emperor realized who it was as soon as he noticed that it protected not just the city but also the whole central and western territories. Only those two have the ability to make such a divine maneuver.
Heilan spoke, “It must have been done by the Venerable Lords in the West.”
“So they haven’t forgotten about us.” Hou Longqing said. “We should calm down the masses first before we give an explanation to them.”
Heilan said, “I’ve commanded the soldiers to help repair the roads and look for survivors within those fallen buildings.”
“Thank you as always, Lan-ge!”
“Between us two, there is no need for thanks.”
