What a Pity, He Never Got to Marry Me, and I Nearly Lost My Life
What a Pity, He Never Got to Marry Me, and I Nearly Lost My Life
The Dark Wang Yue’s body was simply too enormous, sprawling across the boundless, endless Eternal Overcast Fog.
Its massive maw swallowed heaven and earth, shaped like a bottomless abyss.
It seemed to possess no will of its own, acting purely on instinct, devouring every living creature and all matter around it.
Deep within the great fog, several colossal ferocious beasts whose auras had reached the True Daoist Realm sensed the disturbance here and tried to flee in terror.
But from the Dark Wang Yue’s gaping maw came an endless devouring suction. It snapped shut in an instant, blotting out even heaven and earth completely, plunging everything into darkness.
Those ferocious beasts didn’t even have time to scream before they were swallowed whole.
Its strength far surpassed that of ordinary True Daoists.
Jiang Chuchu’s entire body was wreathed in azure light as she stood firm within the great fog.
Her white dress fluttered, dark strands of hair clinging to her jade-like, breathtakingly beautiful face, her expression cold and solemn.
Before this Dark Wang Yue, whose form could not even be seen in full, she was truly smaller than a speck of dust.
Let alone her—even those ferocious beasts with eyes as huge as stars were equally as tiny as dust before this Dark Wang Yue.
Swept up in the vast Eternal Overcast Fog, they were devoured by the Dark Wang Yue in a single gulp.
The boundless Absolute Yin Heaven trembled because of this Dark Wang Yue’s awakening.
The surrounding void was cracking apart.
Swathes of Yin Spirits, like mayflies in a vast ocean, were smashed to pieces under these battering shockwaves.
“What a pity... he never got to marry me.”
Jiang Chuchu lifted her glistening eyes, gazing at the Dark Wang Yue whose true body could not be seen, murmuring softly to herself.
At this moment, she did not choose to resist. She simply stood quietly in the void.
She knew resistance was useless. Under such an absolute gap in crushing power, even a True Daoist who came here would perish, becoming food for the Dark Wang Yue.
So at this moment, she was extraordinarily calm, and not in despair.
Only, there was still some regret in her heart. Some things, in the end, could never be done.
Countless memories and thoughts flashed by, and a figure surfaced in Jiang Chuchu’s mind. Her expression grew dazed, as if even that boundlessly enormous Dark Wang Yue had faded from sight.
She didn’t know if she was hallucinating, but at this moment she actually saw Gu Changge’s figure.
Still dressed in those dark robes, handsome and otherworldly, transcendent and unmatched, his gaze deep and calm, yet seeming to carry a trace of anger.
“Perhaps I just miss him too much. How could he possibly appear here?”
The corners of her lips curled into a self-mocking arc. She felt this was far too unrealistic.
Gu Changge was currently somewhere unknown in the Beyond—how could he possibly appear within the Absolute Yin Heaven?
But in the next instant, a terrifying Sword Qi that pierced through the heavens, seemingly capable of tearing apart the River of Time itself, slashed over from the distance, carrying endless killing intent, surging without end.
This Sword Qi was far too terrifying, as if converged from hundreds of millions of strands of sword light, brilliant and dazzling, entwined with countless Sword Dao rules, its offensive might capable of splitting anything.
All the Eternal Overcast Fog and creatures crumbled beneath this Sword Qi, as if a path had been cleared clean.
The Dark Wang Yue, which had been devouring endless Yin Spirits, let out a pained cry.
Heaven and earth shook, and a vast rain of dark blood fell, drenching this withered universe.
Even a body as powerful as the Dark Wang Yue’s was torn open at this moment, ghastly wounds splitting wide, revealing corroded dark bones beneath. Within, numerous dark stars could even be seen floating, as if it truly contained a decayed, incomplete ancient universe.
It cried out in pain. Its remaining instinct told it that an unimaginable existence had arrived here, one that could threaten its very life.
Hong long long—
The entire universe trembled. Gray mist billowed skyward, rushing toward the Eight Wastelands and all directions. Within the Absolute Yin Heaven, it was as if monstrous waves had risen.
The Dark Wang Yue sensed the terrifying threat and kept shifting its body, trying to hide, wanting to find another place to feed.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Chuchu was also stunned by this sudden scene before her, her beautiful eyes freezing slightly.
The Gu Changge she had just been thinking of—how had he suddenly appeared here, and forced back that Dark Wang Yue with a single sword strike?
It was too inconceivable, too dreamlike.
She almost thought she was hallucinating.
And in the distant fog, Gu Changge’s figure was rapidly solidifying, landing beside her in the blink of an eye.
His expression was calm and profound, his sleeves billowing like banners in the great fog, yet Jiang Chuchu could feel his anger.
“Why are you here? You... at a time like this, shouldn’t you be in the Beyond?”
Jiang Chuchu was dazed for a moment before quickly reacting, her face filled with deep shock and disbelief. She could naturally tell that the Gu Changge before her was the real person, absolutely not a hallucination.
Her voice could no longer maintain its usual cool calm, carrying a slight tremble and stammer.
Why was it that every time she encountered danger or trouble, Gu Changge would appear like a god descending from the heavens, resolving and sweeping away everything before her?
But this time, Gu Changge himself was facing an enormous crisis—his identity as the Successor of Demonic Arts had nearly been exposed.
He had actually taken such an enormous risk to come here looking for her?
“If I had arrived even half a step later, you would have been eaten by this Dark Wang Yue before you. Jiang Chuchu, you’ve really grown capable, haven’t you? Your guts have gotten fat too—barging into this place all alone, and even running into a Dark Wang Yue comparable to a Remnant Immortal.”
Gu Changge spoke indifferently, his tone very flat, even carrying a hint of mockery and coldness.
But Jiang Chuchu didn’t mind his tone at all. She knew Gu Changge was very angry precisely because he was worried something would happen to her, that she would face mortal danger.
She suddenly became somewhat tongue-tied, her hands not knowing where to rest, unsure of what to do.
“I... I was also thinking of finding the root of the Absolute Yin Heaven for the sake of all living beings under heaven. That’s why I took the risk of entering this place.”
“You... don’t be angry, okay?”
She was quite anxious and could only explain to Gu Changge like this, hoping to calm his anger.
After all, what Gu Changge said was right. If he had come even one step later, she would likely have lost her life today in the Dark Wang Yue’s maw.
Moreover, she knew that this time she truly had been careless, thinking that with quite a few life-saving means at her disposal, she could venture deep into the Absolute Yin Heaven.
One had to know that even many True Daoists dared not set foot here, fearing for their lives.
And she was merely a little Sacred Lord Realm Cultivator. A true True Daoist needed only a wisp of pressure to annihilate her body and Dao.
Most important of all, Gu Changge had come here to find her while risking becoming the enemy of the entire world.
She had caused him no small amount of trouble for no reason, and might even expose his whereabouts, attracting countless enemies.
