Chapter 370: Separation and Death, A Common Human Experience

“Huo Yang?”

Many Dao Artifact wielders turned to the wielder.

The red-haired woman’s gaze was calm as she said, “Tomorrow Dao Weapons all possess the power of sacrifice. Today, let me go first… A Dao Artifact wielder’s worth should be equivalent to a hundred people. That should be enough to hold on for a moment longer.”

In other words, she intended to sacrifice not just the Dao Artifact, but her life as well.

However, as expected, she was refused.

“After the Chief, I should be next. Huo Yang, you are no longer the 1st member and have now lost your Dao Artifact.”

Liu Shanwei’s Dao Artifact rose into the air, then suddenly shattered, transforming into countless streams of light that descended from the sky, pouring into the Human Dao Hongyun Sword. He raised his hand and seized the Human Dao Hongyun Sword from Huo Yang.

“Having experienced the many facets of life, I have no regrets. I am satisfied with my life; it is my honor to grow in Tomorrow Society.”

Liu Shanwei turned his back to everyone and raised the Human Dao Hongyun Sword. Without a moment’s hesitation, he burned his life force, and Hongyun surged forth, overpowering the two Dao Instruments once again.

The two figures from the Mystic Realm reappeared, surprised as they gazed at the land that had completely turned to ruins.

“This power, could it be from a three heavens-level sect…?”

“A Spiritual Realm can actually use Spiritual Law equivalent to a super forbidden device?”

Their worldviews were shattered; it was absurd for a Spiritual Realm to have such strength!

What could possibly justify this?

Even if you multiplied this Spiritual Realm’s spirit energy by a million, it shouldn’t result in anything this outrageous!

Yet, reality unfolded before them; someone had indeed unleashed such shocking Spiritual Law. Even if it meant mutual destruction, it was enough to astonish them.

“It must be obtained! If the Holy Son masters this kind of Spiritual Law, he will surely slay gods and ascend to the true dragon position!”

“The value of this Spiritual Law has surpassed one hundred thousand resonating Dao Artifacts! Hahaha, what a good thing, truly wonderful! Just right for us to split the credit!”

The two exchanged glances, and even greater power surged from their relatively tiny bodies in comparison to heaven and earth.

They would not let even one person escape.

The user of the forbidden Spiritual Law was dead, so they had to soul search everyone. If they missed even one, the regret would haunt them for life!

“Space lockdown!”

Easily, the two powerful figures from the Pure World Holy Land sealed off the space, cutting off the Tomorrow Society’s hope of escape.

In just a few seconds, the number of Tomorrow Society members withdrawing was less than a few hundred.

Right now, Tomorrow Society was not capable of large-scale transmission.

And these few hundred were quickly located by the two powerful figures at their escape point; they did not care that some ants had made a few steps ahead.

The man in the golden robe casually pointed, and a presence traversed the space, arriving thousands of miles away, directly blocking the retreating few hundred.

The members of Tomorrow Society all showed expressions of despair. The power gap was too great; even if they had Extreme Spiritual Law, it was meaningless; they couldn’t even fight back.

However, to soul search them, the man in the golden robe merely imprisoned everyone without killing them, which was a small comfort in their misfortune.

“Let’s resolve these Dao Artifact wielders quickly.”

The two powerful figures exchanged glances and ceased to toy around. The Mystic Law erupted, and they unleashed their full power to exterminate the Tomorrow Society Dao Artifact wielders in front of them.

They took the situation seriously, thinking they could deal with the Dao Artifact wielders blocking their path in just a few breaths! — That’s what they thought.

However, reality differed from their expectations. One by one, the Dao Artifact wielders showed no hesitation in sacrificing their Dao Artifacts and lives, forcefully using the Human Dao Hongyun Sword to counter their Mystic Law and Dao Artifacts. For a moment, they truly couldn’t take them down.

“The space here has already been sealed. Do you still wish to resist?”

The man in the golden robe felt a headache coming on and struggled to understand the ants’ mindset. Why undertake such a futile effort?

Clearly, the outcome was a certain death. Wouldn’t it be better to die straightforwardly?

“……”

The members of Tomorrow Society merely regarded his words with indifference.

They found it even harder to comprehend a non-human monster—had being in the sky for too long made him forget the most basic instinct of survival in humans?

Perhaps those who hadn’t awakened would numbly allow him to kill them, but the Dao Artifact wielders of Tomorrow Society would never refuse to fight back!

They were markers, symbols of Tomorrow Society, upholding their own path!

“Is this where it ends?”

Qi Lian stepped out of the laboratory, gazing up at the sky.

Even against a Mystic Realm powerful figure, she had hope to contend if the Holy Land’s Holy Lineage sent someone, but against two…

Although there was a chance of winning, it was too risky.

She hesitated, contemplating whether to take action.

“You are too ignorant…”

The man in the golden robe gently shook his head, wanting to say something more. In that moment, immense fear surged within him, a feeling of urgency swelling up. He and the old man in the blue robe screamed in horror.

“Greetings…”

They wanted to call for help, so they began uttering a prayer, hoping that the true beings of the Pure World Holy Land would transmit their power from a distance to counter the sudden rising enemy that filled them with immense fear.

But before they could finish their cries, a hand suddenly filled their entire view; this hand was as white as jade, entwined with silver streams of light. It appeared to belong to a youth, delicate in size.

The moment the hand appeared, the focus of the entire world shifted, and the two of them stared intently at this hand until it pressed down on their heads.

“No!”

They screamed in despair, snapping back to reality. Their heads burst with powerful magic as they desperately resisted the crushing grip of the silver hand.

But it was futile; their strength gradually evaporated, and the fingers stabbed deeper into their skulls.

Fear soaked their entire beings.

Being killed outright would be bearable since they wouldn’t feel pain, but this was pure torture. They struggled between life and death, overwhelmed by immense fear. They hadn’t lived enough; how could they die like this?

“What’s happening?”

The entire Tomorrow City was in confusion.

But soon, a figure stepped through a tear in space, grasping both of them, pulling them down from the sky.

The terrifying figures that had once gazed upon Tomorrow City crumbled in an instant.

As people of the Pure World Holy Land, they did not exist directly in the physical realm; their true bodies remained in the chaotic flow of space. Such a tactic allowed them to leave no trace, making it difficult for even a true being to find them.

“Inheritance mark? Not a true being?—Stop! I command you to stop! Do you wish to be enemies with my Pure World Holy Land? Under the strength of the true beings, even if you inherit power, so what? That power will eventually be depleted! You will regret it when that day comes!”

The man in the golden robe roared.

“……”

The silver-haired figure stared at him, with only a cold, lifeless look in his eyes. His wild howls did not move the silver-haired figure at all.

The old man in the blue robe, on the other hand, was much more discerning. Sensing the possibility of a deadly situation, he racked his brains, desperately thinking about their current predicament.

In the end, he concluded…

If they did not escape, this boy before them would make them wish they were dead, no matter what!

Though he did not know why the boy was so filled with rage, he was well aware that when he himself experienced such fury, no one could stop him. He would want nothing less than to tear apart those who wronged him and torment them endlessly to find relief.

They might not die, but the premise of not dying would certainly mean wishing they were dead!

“Tian Jing… Liu Shanwei… and many others…”

Yun Ye realized he had arrived late. Although it hadn’t even been a full minute since the beginning, he was already at his limit. On Earth, no one could claim it was too late.

But this was the Red Heaven realm.

A few seconds could directly determine the direction of life and death; how could a minute be different?

Without absolute power, nothing would go smoothly. That was the reality of the Red Heaven realm. If he hesitated for just a few more seconds in the Secret Realm…

It would only take a few seconds; if he delayed further, everything here would be genuine ruins.

With that thought in mind.

The brutal fury in Yun Ye’s eyes could not be suppressed any longer. He gripped hard, forcing his fingers into the skull of both men, digging into their brains.

The terrifying pain caused both men to struggle wildly, and at the same time, their numerous methods erupted in an attempt to break free.

But Yin Yue Kong was absolutely right; to be carefree, power was everything.

Even if he had only activated a tiny fraction of the Force of Freedom, it was enough to suppress these two powerful figures from the Mystic Realm. All their methods fell apart, completely ineffective.

"You both deserve to experience a whole realm of hell."

Yun Ye coldly regarded the two men, already envisioning their fate, as silver patterns spread and covered their bodies.

Their struggles gradually faded, but their eyes still darted back and forth, revealing boundless fear.

They had already guessed what awaited them next.

Eternal soul burning?

Countless tortures?

Destruction of their dignity, humiliation in every possible way?

An infinite fear filled their hearts; fear of the future. Since the other party had not erased their consciousness, what could there be left but the desire to torment them?

“Ah, ah, ah!”

The two let out extremely anguished screams, their souls distorted in the intense pain.

Gradually, they transformed into another kind of being.

“It’s actually Ming Waiyang…”

A figure stepped forward. Qi Lian gazed at the boy in the sky, who looked like a deity, realizing something was terribly wrong.

She feared that she would soon lose her freedom.

The power of this boy completely overshadowed her; there was no way she could escape the Tomorrow Society under his gaze.

The guilt of not taking action just a minute ago was something she would have to repay, otherwise, the boy would have no reason to forgive her.

As this thought crossed her mind, Yun Ye fell from the sky, bringing down two lifeless dogs.

Literally, the two had been transformed into the form of dogs by Yun Ye, panting and barking, entirely turned into captives.

As they fell, the inner ring of the silver ring mark in Yun Ye’s left hand began to move, gradually rotating from one-sixth of a circle back to zero. Because of this, the immense power he released was suppressed, and the silver glow surrounding his body slowly faded.

However, this power left a permanent change; both their hair and pupils completely turned silver, their physique altered.

“Ming Waiyang, what is this?”

Several Dao Artifact wielders inquired, shaken. Did the problem suddenly get solved?

Two terrifying figures from the Mystic Realm had been subdued like this?

In just a few days, why had Ming Waiyang undergone such an astonishing change? What did the Inheritance mark mean, as mentioned by these two?

“I inherited the power from the Crescent Moon Secret Realm. I’m sorry… I came late.”

Yun Ye looked toward the distance.

A girl with red hair, her eyes closed, leaned against a metallic fiery patterned sword that seemed old yet sturdy.

This sword was plunged into the ground, the unreal Hongyun intertwining, drifting toward the sky.

The strong wind blew.

The girl’s red hair turned pale, fluttering in the wind. She sat sideways, leaning against the human Dao Hongyun sword, smiling as she passed away.

In a daze, Yun Ye seemed to return to decades ago.

Tian Jing laughed heartily at him, loudly sharing his dreams.

He also saw Huo Yang earnestly teaching the children, sitting under a tree and educating Yuexin alongside him.

“Very good… you all did really well…”

Instantly, tears streamed down Yun Ye’s face.

He stepped forward, taking hold of the human Dao Hongyun sword, and gently laid Huo Yang down to rest.

At that moment, the Ming Rihui Sword appeared on its own, flames transforming into the girl’s clothing. She stepped forward, grasping Yun Ye with a distressed expression. She was the only one who understood how important these two were to him. “Master…”

“Separations like this are a part of life… Everything in this world must eventually part ways… Tomorrow, I will be fine.”

Yun Ye lifted his head.

In the sky, fiery clouds surged, as if the heavens had been completely burned away, leaving no trace of the past.

This world was not just fragile for humanity; the world itself was just as weak.

He gripped the human Dao Hongyun sword tightly.

This was not the first time.

This feeling of helplessness, no matter how many times he experienced it, tortured him painfully. Would there be another time…?

It must not happen!

Absolutely not!

The killing intent in Yun Ye’s eyes had solidified.

The Pure World Holy Land, the two Spirit Sects, and the Luo Dynasty—these four forces stood forever in his way, preventing him from pursuing a glorious era and order. They were his absolute enemies!

To prevent another occurrence, he must cleanse the four corners of the world!

“Swish!”

The human Dao Hongyun sword resonated, transforming into countless streams of light, willingly infusing into the Ming Rihui Sword.

At that moment, the Ming Rihui Sword reached over a hundred thousand echoes, a trace of Dao patterns spreading from the hilt of the sword mid-way up the blade before finally stopping.

These patterns resembled fiery clouds, filled with beauty and history, as if intended to forever remember this moment and great achievement.

Yun Ye turned the blade, reflecting the sky’s landscape, flames appearing to blaze brightly in his eyes.

He would carry the will of all those like-minded…

And keep moving forward!

With this sword as proof!
