909 14.185 Last Violet Star – Immortal Couple and Devil Couple.
Upper Realm, Heavenly Domain.
Several Gods and Goddesses could perceive the power differences between the King of Demons and the Immortal Emperor due to their days-long battle. Even though it is obvious that the Emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom is stronger than the Demon King, the latter possessed a tougher body that allowed him to defend himself from the former.
Their conflict was never life-or-death, but rather a demonstration to the public that the two were on opposing sides. After all, on his journey into the Ice Jade Palace, the King of the Demons had slaughtered several Palace Guards.
Even though there are visible signs of the damage, the two men who started it all weren’t slowing down at all. Attacking like a beast, a man in a black and red robe charged toward a man wearing a white gold robe. He fought the master of the sword in front of him with just his bare fists and no weapons. Thankfully, they had moved away from the Heavenly Domain’s capital city, as each exchange of blows did damage to their surroundings.
Following days of conflict, it was clear that the two were far from finished. As a result of their conflict, both of their robes were filthy and dust-covered. Apart from a few bruises here and there, they don’t appear to have any signs of injury. While the two battled one another, explosions could be heard across the region. The Immortal Empress saw the spectacle while being accompanied by a few troops from their realm and observed her husband and the King of Demons engaged in a distant duel.
Xue Wuxia said, “Their battle is causing too much destruction in the areas where there are living people. I will go ahead and erect a barrier to protect the main city. Everyone should stay inside to avoid unnecessary deaths.”
“But your highness... We can help you kill the King of the Devils.”
“Stop the nonsense! You know that the King of Devils cannot be killed. He is one of the pillars of this world. His death means the progression of this world’s obliteration.” The Immortal Empress reprimands.
The King of the Devils exists to keep the world in balance, just like the Immortal Emperor. The Upper Realm’s Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress. The Great Sects for the Mortal Realm and the Human Emperor. The Demon Queen and the King of Devils in the region of Hell. These creatures exist in their entirety. It won’t ever vanish. In this world, they may be replaced but never forgotten.
.....
These were the primary energy sources that kept the world alive. Whenever one of them went absent for an extended period of time, the world would become unstable and slowly collapse, eradicating everyone and everything that lived there. They were a part of the world, but they weren’t intimately involved in its story.
The Immortal Empress finally took action and created a barrier around the area where the two were fighting. The shockwaves of their battles were finally enclosed in the space of the barrier returning the peace in the Upper Realm.
Those soldiers outside had received the commands of the Immortal Empress before she took her to leave.
“Sigh~ I thought the whole empire would be destroyed by the aftereffects of the battle between True Gods.”
“Stop wasting any more time. The Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress would capture the King of Devils. There is too much destruction at the outer layer of the empire. Immediately send people to stabilize the situation there!”
“Yes, Sir!”
In the meanwhile, within the barrier. The Demon Queen, who had been trailing the Immortal Empress, eventually revealed herself and came next to her.
The Demon Queen, who was meant to give up her memories and feelings to be reincarnated as a demon, says, “I hope I am not too late. I’m coming to grab that guy.” Her expression is emotionless. Yet in order for her to recover her memories, there is a certain requirement.
“You’ve met your son?” The Immortal Empress said after noticing that this relative of hers had her memory restored.
“By coincidence, I did. Thanks to that my memories returned. Thank you, Sister Wuxia.” The Demon Queen, Xue Bingya said.
The Immortal Empress, Xue Wuxia responds, “We know the circumstances and as it was because of our bloodline peculiarities it cannot be changed at all. So we can only support you with what you want.”
“It would be better if immortals, devils, and mortals all get along,” mumbled the Demon Queen.
The Immortal Empress said, “Yes. It is not like we can eliminate each other as doing so means destroying the equilibrium of this world. I heard that the Demons had attacked the Mortal Realm. How is it?”
“Three Great Sects are gone but their main leaders survive and live together with my son and Jiejie’s son. Under their protection, those children should be able to survive. But there is a variation, the son of the late Demon Queen. He is definitely stronger than my husband. I don’t know how he came to life.” The Demon Queen said.
The Immortal Empress frowned and recalled something about the past event. “I heard that when the former Demon Queen had gone here to tattle on your affair, my youngest son was kidnapped but was still found under a tree in the end. Don’t tell me she took my youngest son’s blood that time!?”
“This is not good. A’Jing had been born with the purest blood of Xue and Hei. His divinity is the purest in our family and his peak strength would be stronger than my brother-in-law and my husband. Adding the fact she also stole my husband’s genes. This Devil of Pride can be said to be the strongest demon with the blood of the strongest immortal and devil. Would A’Jing and my son be alright?” asked the Demon Queen worriedly.
The Immortal Empress said, “We can talk about it later. For now, let’s stop these two fools who are still fighting like children.”
“I will go with you, Sister Wuxia.” The Demon Queen, Xue Bingya said.
Two individuals who appeared to have gotten into a fight were surrounded by felled or otherwise damaged trees in the center of the unidentified woodland. They clearly engaged in constant fighting while shifting locations since there are holes in every direction. Every path they have taken has been immediately transformed into ruin. Both were coated in dust and scrapes, with the Immortal Emperor sporting a somber countenance while the King of Devils wore an angry and nasty grin.
The King of Devils said, “I can feel you restraining your aura to the hardest you can. You don’t want to forcefully ascend to an even higher world don’t you?”
“My wife and children are here. Until the time they could leave with me. I shall stay here in this world.” The Immortal Emperor, Hei Tianyu said.
The King of Devils said, “Sooner or later the Heavenly Laws of this world would no longer tolerate you and you can only leave.”
“I will wait for the time that day comes. Until then I will be staying in the Heavenly Domain with my children.” Hei Tianyu said. “Stop worrying about me and think how you would talk to your son. I heard you tried to harm my youngest and you got beaten up by your own son in the end. Serves you right!”
“Shut up! I was only kidding and tried to poke your son. Who would have thought that darn brat to hit me so bad my soul wisp immediately died on the spot!” complained Ye Guiya, the King of Devils.
The Immortal Emperor snorted and said, “It means your son doesn’t trust you at all. That was your first meeting and you gave him a bad impression. You don’t know how much your son is like my youngest. Would he become the God of Judgment just with my backing alone? No. Because that’s the only position that would freely allow him to stand beside my Xiao Jing. So he climbs out from the bottom to that position. Since you tried to harm the person he loves and knowing the possessiveness of your bloodline it was a miracle he didn’t kill you on the spot. Ah~ right he did. He indeed killed you on the spot~”
“Bastard! That’s because you thought my son was wrong! He doesn’t even recognize this old man as his father.”
There is no such thing as demeanor, Ye Guiya screamed as the two resumed their altercation. They got into a brawl like children. Only fists and no weapons. rolling in the mud and pushing each other to the ground. As they were engaged in conflict, their wives arrived and were casting frightening glances at their pitiful forms coated in muck and filth. Another anomaly in the Xue Family’s lineage. All of them were... Mysophobic.
With icy auras, Xue Bingya and Xue Wuxia came in front of their spouses and gave them a chilly look.
“What are you two doing!?”
When Ye Guiya and Hei Tianyu noticed the pair of ferocious eyes glaring at them in that direction, they instantly knelt in submission like good husbands and wives. They blamed each other while pointing fingers. The youngster behaves as one would anticipate.
“He did it first!”
The spouses said, “Nonsense!” as a group.
The two recoiled at the loud shout and bowed their heads even lower, blaming the person standing next to them for their mistreatment.
Xue Wuxia said, “Dirty. Clean yourself up. Tsk!”
The Immortal Emperor and the King of Devils carried out their queens’ commands and employed a cleaning spell on them as well as changing their clothing. They quickly seem decent, as if there had been no quarrel at all.
Xue Wuxia says, “Are you two children? How could you fight on the dirt like brats!?”
“Honey, it wasn’t me. He pushed and punched me first!” complained Hei Tianyu.
Ye Guiya said, “You provoke me first.”
“Who told you to be hated by your own son,” retorted Hei Tianyu.
Ye Guiya who knows about the happenings in the Heavenly Domain rebuked, “As if your youngest didn’t hate you for neglecting him!”
The two were glaring at each other and poking each other’s wounds. In the end, both of them were bad fathers who wronged their children. They both got hit on the head by their wives.
“Enough!”
“Ouch! Honey~” calls Hei Tianyu. He immediately shut up after receiving a glare from his beloved wife.
Ye Guiya, on the other hand, was fixated on his wife, whom he hadn’t seen in a couple of hundred years. She was still one of the Upper Realm’s most elated Goddesses when he last saw her. She had been resurrected as a demon in order to suit his status, and he couldn’t help but feel horrible that he had done her such immense harm.
Ye Guiya grasped his wife’s hands and knelt down, as if in prayer. He apologizes with words that are choked with sorrow and guilt. Hei Anjing and his son Ye Xiajie were two people to whom he was forced to draw comparisons. They both experienced the same kind of forbidden love. Hei Anjing, in contrast, was prepared to give up his position, his authority, and his power. Everything in an effort to visit the Mortal Realm to meet his son which he never did before.
On the other hand, his son was willing to be punished as long as he could fulfill his beloved’s request. His trial was to make sure Bai Wuan does not die under no matter what circumstances. But because his beloved asked him for help, he did otherwise and killed him as he requested just so the Devil of Envy would be killed and forever perish in this world. After failing his trial, the Immortal Emperor punished him with banishment for a millennium which he had no choice but to accept.
But in the end, the couple still ended up being together completely different from what happened to Ye Guiya and his wife, Xue Bingya.
Ye Guiya says, “I’m sorry, Bing’er. Because I am weak, I’ve made you sacrifice too much for me. I had nothing else I could give. I will just give myself to you. Starting today I will only listen to you and follow you everywhere. I no longer have any restraint; the throne was passed to that boy after all. The Infernal Region can no longer imprison me. I will just stand by your side until the end.”
With a beautiful smile on Xue Bingya’s face, she responded, “Okay. You can never leave my side anymore.”
