Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1989: Chapter 2033: Netherworld King’s Last Words

With a single thought.

The thousand zhang nine-colored Sword Qi completely penetrated the enormous liquidified alien power.

The thirty zhang body of the Netherworld King was pushed by the sword tip, flying out from within and was fiercely nailed to the Purple and Cyan Immortal Mountain thousands of miles away.

The Liquid Spiritual Energy Lake within the mountain violently shook, cascading down along the mountain body.

Some splashed onto the Netherworld King’s body, washing away the dirty blood and revealing a body full of devastating wounds.

On his vast thirty zhang body, there were nine shocking blood holes, continuously gushing fresh blood.

Especially the wound on his forehead which shattered his Original Star, piercing through his head, nearly delivering a fatal move.

Only some remnant soul remained.

"Thanks..." the Netherworld King weakly said, showing a look of release.

He reached out, tremblingly pulled from his waist a bag, opened it, and a perfectly intact soul appeared.

Jiang Fan was surprised: "Heart Demon Venerable?"

He was actually defeated, his path body destroyed? His soul was captured by the Netherworld King...

To be precise, it was protected.

In such a chaotic battlefield, a soul is hard to survive unless someone purposely shelters it.

"Use him... to exchange for Zijiang, how about it?"

It turned out, the Netherworld King had prepared his final plan for defeat long ago.

Upon discovering Heart Demon Venerable being devoured by a Four-star Giant King, he decisively rescued his soul.

Heart Demon Venerable, being of Divinity Transformation Realm in Taicang State, once fought alongside Jiang Fan.

Given Jiang Fan’s deep emotions and righteousness, there was no way he would ignore Heart Demon Venerable’s soul.

Without a shred of hesitation, Jiang Fan took out the Domain Mirror, throwing it over.

The Netherworld King caught it and then released Heart Demon Venerable’s soul.

The moment of release, he suddenly took out a Jade Talisman crafted by Inferior Sages, crushed it, and a massive gas flow enveloped him, disappearing from the spot.

He had unexpectedly escaped!

Heart Demon Venerable was extremely remorseful, saying: "Starfire Venerable, you shouldn’t have bothered with me."

Jiang Fan confirmed he was alright, slightly relieved:

"Heart Demon friend, don’t joke, ten Princess Zi Jiang wouldn’t compare to your life."

"Using her for your life is a fair trade."

Heart Demon Venerable was still guilty, looking worriedly at the dirty blood left by the Netherworld King, saying: "But letting the Netherworld King escape will become a hidden danger."

Jiang Fan said: "Rest assured, the two are already not able to cause any waves."

"After the war ends, we’ll search for the two of them."

He took out a bag, saying: "Heart Demon friend, come in first, after the war ends, I’ll reshape your path body."

Heart Demon Venerable, upon hearing, finally relaxed a little, flying into the bag.

Securely keeping the bag, Jiang Fan finally turned with a slightly somber expression towards the surroundings.

How could he not know it was like releasing a tiger back to the mountain?

The Netherworld King indeed can’t survive, but Princess Zi Jiang is not an easy one!

In heart, domain, wisdom, she is a major threat.

Though she is only a One-star Giant King, given time, she will certainly become a hidden danger!

What he said earlier was simply to not upset Heart Demon Venerable.

Later, he must find Princess Zi Jiang and eliminate her completely!

As for now.

Jiang Fan looked towards the Five-Star Kings of the Western Heavenly Realm with a cold killing intent!

Meanwhile.

In the distant Southern Heavenly Realm.

The Netherworld King, holding the Domain Mirror, crashed into a blossoming flower valley.

He lay powerlessly on the ground, using the scant power he had left to tear open the mirror.

The eight zhang tall Princess Zi Jiang was released.

She was slightly confused, but upon seeing the Netherworld King’s dire condition, she couldn’t help but scream: "Netherworld!"

She tried to cover the sword holes on his body, but covering one still left others spraying blood.

"Time Reversal!" Princess Zi Jiang triggered her origin, trying to reverse the injuries.

However, the injuries were unaffected, blood still flowing.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered each wound had remnants of evil energy inside that blocked recovery and continued to exacerbate the injuries.

"Jiang Fan’s quasi-boundary Evil Sword?" Princess Zi Jiang recognized it.

This was the unique ability of that evil sword!

Feeling the Netherworld King’s aura growing weaker, Princess Zi Jiang became anxious, repeatedly triggering the Time Origin.

Time after time reversing, attempting to save the Netherworld King’s life.

But, all efforts were in vain.

The Netherworld King weakly shook his head:

"Don’t waste the origin... my Divine Soul is shattered, I... can only accompany you till here..."

Princess Zi Jiang stubbornly continued using Time Reversal, but her body started to tremble, giant vertical eyes rolling down golden tears.

The Netherworld King took a bag from his waist, tremblingly handing it to Princess Zi Jiang:

"This is a bag of fortune... it can let the Human Clan break through the Virtuous Realm..."

"If you’re pursued by the Human Clan’s Divinity Transformation... use it to escape the Void..."

Princess Zi Jiang stopped, golden tears like raindrops falling continuously:

"Netherworld... don’t go... I only have you!"

The Netherworld King stretched out a giant palm, gently stroked Princess Zi Jiang’s head:

"Don’t be afraid... you’ve grown up... cough cough..."

As the Netherworld King was about to leave, Princess Zi Jiang’s tears flowed like rain, hatred gathering in her eyes: "Jiang Fan, everything is Jiang Fan’s fault!"

"I will kill him, avenge you!"

The Netherworld King coughed: "No need... I lost in a fair duel... I don’t hate him."

"You shouldn’t provoke him anymore... past grudges should end..."

"Cough cough cough... The Southern Heavenly Realm can’t be saved... you... return to our homeland."

"Take care... Zi Jiang..."

"See you in the next life..."

Upon finishing his last words, the Netherworld King touched Princess Zi Jiang’s hand, and it fell weakly, hitting the ground.

His soul also turned into scattered gray-black soul spots, drifting into the void.

The Southern Heavenly Realm’s first Five-star Giant King was thus gone.

"Netherworld!!!" Princess Zi Jiang lay on the Netherworld King’s chest, crying out with heartbreaking grief.

She tried to awaken the Netherworld King, but ultimately it was futile.

The crying continued for a quarter of an hour, until it attracted the attention of the Human Clan’s Divinity Transformation Realm, forcing Princess Zi Jiang reluctantly to rise.

She wiped her tears, looking at the corpse of the Netherworld King, her face full of sorrow:

"Netherworld..."

She gently touched her chest, feeling a heartache unfamiliar to giants.

A bit of remorse surged in her heart.

If there was no war, would the Netherworld King die?

Thinking back on her past theory of cattle and sheep, only then did she understand that the reason she could calmly describe the Human Clan’s suffering as natural law.

It was only because this pain of losing loved ones had not fallen upon her personally.

Now she understood, but it was too late.

Amid sorrow, uncontrollable hatred surged within her heart.

She clenched the bag filled with fortune, biting the silver teeth:

"Jiang Fan! I will make you pay the price!"

"Definitely!!!"

Subsequently, taking advantage of the Human Clan’s Divinity Transformation not yet arriving, she took one last loving look at the Netherworld King’s corpse before leaping away.

She finally became like Jiang Fan.

Just as Jiang Fan wanted to kill all giants to avenge Central Earth.

She also wanted to kill Jiang Fan to avenge the Netherworld King.
