Chapter 902: Divine Realm - Messenger
Thunder ripped through the heavens, and myriad rays of purple light surged through the clouds like countless razor-sharp swords, poised to strike down upon the mortal realm. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood side by side, their sleeves rustling in the wind, their hair flying in disorder, yet their eyes couldn't conceal the wariness and determination. The tranquility of a thousand years of seclusion was shattered. Now, they faced the overwhelming pressure of the Three Thousand God Realms, a force like an invisible mountain, suffocating them.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light poured down from the clouds, as if the sun had fallen to earth. As the light faded, a figure clad in gilded robes slowly emerged. Mysterious runes lingered around this figure, each gleaming with a frightening power. His features were blurred, yet he exuded an innate majesty, as if he were the embodiment of order, inviting worship.
"Yun Yao, immediately hand over the fragment of the Heavenly Dao Law! You are the chosen carrier of the Dao by the Hongmeng Universe. Do not persist in your delusion and attempt to become an enemy of the God Realm!" The messenger's voice was like a bell, resounding through the heavens and earth, carrying an unquestionable command. Before he finished speaking, a powerful pressure surged towards Yun Yao like a tide. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked and the surrounding trees were instantly reduced to dust.
Chu Mochen's pupils shrank, and without hesitation, he shielded Yun Yao behind him. His spiritual energy surged out like a surging ocean wave, forming a solid barrier around the two of them, resisting the overwhelming pressure. "If you want to take it from her, you'll have to get past me first!" Chu Mochen's voice was low and firm, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
The messenger sneered and raised his hand, sending a golden beam of light shooting towards Chu Mochen like lightning. Chu Mochen swung his sword to meet the impact. The sword and the beam collided, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful energy aftermath spread outward, forming a massive energy vortex. However, the messenger's strength far exceeded his expectations. Chu Mochen felt a tremendous force radiating from the sword's blade, numbing his palms and causing a trickle of blood to flow from the corner of his mouth. He was knocked back several steps by the overwhelming force.
Seeing this, Yun Yao's eyes flashed with a fierceness. She took a deep breath, and the peak strength of the Void Realm instantly erupted. The spiritual energy surrounding her transformed into a giant blue dragon, howling heavenward and soaring into the clouds. With a delicate cry, she swung her jade hand, and the blue dragon rushed towards the messenger like an arrow from a bow. The messenger was slightly startled, not expecting this seemingly fragile woman to possess such formidable strength. He quickly cast a spell, and a golden shield appeared before him.
The blue dragon and the golden shield collided violently, a giant firework exploding in the sky, a dazzling display of light. Yun Yao gritted her teeth, continuously injecting spiritual energy into the blue dragon. The blue dragon's power grew stronger, and cracks began to appear in the golden shield. Just as Yun Yao thought the shield was about to be breached, the messenger suddenly formed hand seals and muttered something. The sky suddenly became dark clouds, and countless purple lightning bolts struck down, fiercely smashing into the blue dragon. The dragon roared in pain, and its body gradually dissipated.
Yun Yao was struck by the residual force of the lightning, her body unstable, and she flew backward. Just when she thought she was about to be injured, a warm and familiar force caught her steadily. It turned out that Chu Mochen had stepped forward at the critical moment, using his body to block most of the attack for her. Chu Mochen's back was struck by lightning, and his clothes were torn, revealing a series of charred scars. Blood continued to flow, staining his clothes red.
"Mo Chen!" Yun Yao cried distressedly, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry. She quickly pulled out a healing pill from her bosom and fed it to Chu Mo Chen.
Seeing the two injured, the messenger smiled smugly and spoke again, "If you know what's good for you, hand over the fragments of the law obediently, and perhaps I can spare your lives. Otherwise, today will be your burial place!"
Yun Yao gently set Chu Mochen down and slowly stood up. Her eyes were as cold as ice, and she exuded a chilling aura. "If you want my law fragments, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" As she spoke, a drop of blood oozed from her fingertips. Strangely, the drop of blood did not fall to the ground, but instead hovered in the air, emitting a strange light.
At this moment, the system within Yun Yao's body suddenly vibrated violently, and the cracks began to slowly repair. Yun Yao was shocked. She had never imagined that her blood could have such miraculous effects. At the same time, fragmented images flashed through her mind, memories of her soul's origin. It turned out that her soul was the embodiment of the Hongmeng Law, which explained the mysterious connection she had with the system.
The messenger's eyes flashed with greed and shock as he observed the changes in Yun Yao's blood. "As the rumors say, your blood holds immense power! Today, I will not only take your fragment of the Law, but also capture you alive and offer you to the divine realm!" The messenger's words had barely left his lips when he launched another attack, this time even more fierce than before. Countless golden blades of light rained down upon Yun Yao.
Yun Yao didn't dare to be careless. She concentrated her mind and cast a spell, forming a blue barrier in front of her. The light blades repeatedly struck the barrier, making a sharp sound. The barrier also swayed constantly, as if it would shatter at any moment. Yun Yao gritted her teeth and continuously injected spiritual energy into it to maintain its stability.
As Yun Yao and the emissary engaged in a fierce battle, a familiar presence suddenly reached her from the distance. Yun Yao's heart stirred, and she turned to look, only to see a familiar figure swiftly approaching. As the figure drew closer, Yun Yao's eyes widened. It was none other than her former servant, Xiao Cui! However, Xiao Cui, now clad in magnificent divine robes, exuded the aura of a mid-level deity, a stark contrast to the innocent and adorable servant of yesteryear.
"Miss!" Xiao Cui's eyes flashed with complex emotions upon seeing Yun Yao, and she shouted, "Let me help you!" With that, she joined the battle, attacking the messenger. Yun Yao felt a warm feeling in her heart, having never imagined that Xiao Cui still cared about her after all these years. With Xiao Cui's help, the situation seemed to be turning around.
However, just as Yun Yao let her guard down, Xiao Cui suddenly loomed. A black dagger appeared in her hand, and she fiercely stabbed Yun Yao in the heart. Yun Yao's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "Why..." she struggled to speak, her voice filled with pain and disappointment.
Xiao Cui looked at Yun Yao expressionlessly, her eyes devoid of any emotion. "I'm sorry, Miss. I'm just a spy planted by the God Realm to be near you. From the very beginning, my approach was a conspiracy. Now, the mission is accomplished, and it's time for you to die!"
Chu Mochen saw this scene, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He ignored his own injuries and forcibly unleashed a secret technique, sending a powerful sword energy blasting towards Xiao Cui. Seeing the situation was dire, Xiao Cui quickly let go of the dagger and retreated. Yun Yao seized the opportunity to channel her spiritual energy, forcing the dagger out of her body, and simultaneously swiftly unleashed a spell, launching a counterattack against Xiao Cui.
"It turns out it was all a lie!" Yun Yao's voice was icy cold, tears welling up in her eyes. "I trusted you so much, but I never thought you would betray me!"
Xiao Cui sneered, "Trust? In the face of the interests of the God Realm, trust is worthless. You are just a pawn, and I am only fulfilling my mission."
At this moment, the emissary seized the opportunity to launch another attack. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were forced to temporarily put aside their anger towards Xiao Cui and join forces to resist the emissary and Xiao Cui's attack. The battle intensified, the sky overflowing with energy and the ground in a mess. Yun Yao secretly thought that the situation was now extremely unfavorable for them, and they must find a way to turn the tide.
At this moment, Yun Yao suddenly noticed that the runes on the messenger's body flickered regularly when he attacked. With a thought, she observed carefully and finally discovered the messenger's weakness. It turned out that although the runes were powerful, there was a momentary pause after each attack. If she seized this opportunity, she could deliver a fatal blow to the messenger.
Yun Yao shared her discovery with Chu Mochen, who nodded. Their eyes met, their minds connected, and they decided to seize the opportunity to launch a final blow. When the messenger launched another attack, and the runes flashed and paused, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen attacked simultaneously. Yun Yao unleashed her most powerful spell, a massive blue beam of light shooting towards the messenger. Chu Mochen, in turn, unleashed a powerful sword energy, accompanied by the beam of light, which attacked the messenger.
The messenger was surprised that the two could discover his weakness, and he panicked. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. The blue beam of light and sword energy struck the messenger, erupting with a deafening roar. Under the overwhelming force, the messenger's body began to collapse. He roared in frustration, "Yun Yao, this will not end well for you! The divine realm will not let you go!" With that, his body completely dissipated, leaving only a golden glow on the ground.
After dealing with the messenger, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen turned their attention to Xiao Cui. Seeing the situation was dire, Xiao Cui turned and attempted to escape. Yun Yao snorted coldly and cast a spell. A blue rope flew out, binding Xiao Cui. "Want to escape? Not so easy! You must give me an explanation today!" Yun Yao said coldly.
Xiao Cui was bound, a look of despair on her face. She knew she was doomed this time. "Just kill me. I'm just a pawn in the divine realm. Even if you ask me, I won't tell you anything more," Xiao Cui said through gritted teeth.
Yun Yao looked at Xiao Cui, a mixture of emotions welling up in her. The bond between master and servant had now turned into betrayal and hatred. "I won't let you die so easily. You must tell me what conspiracy the divine realm has, or I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!" Yun Yao's voice was filled with chilling coldness.
Xiao Cui was silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "The God Realm has been searching for fragments of the Hongmeng Law. They believe that if they gather all the fragments, they can control the entire Hongmeng Universe. And you, as the carrier of the law fragments, naturally become their primary target. This time, I was sent here to deceive your trust, and then cooperate with you to seize the law fragments."
After hearing this, Yun Yao grew wary. She knew the gods wouldn't give up easily, and what awaited her next would be even more severe challenges. But she was no longer afraid, for she now knew her own life story and understood her mission. She clenched her fists, gazed determinedly into the distance, and vowed to herself: no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, she would protect the people she wanted to protect, uncover the gods' conspiracy, and find her own path.
