Chapter 652 No More Past Life, Only The Present [3rd Update]
"Good!"
Su Yie promptly agreed, understanding it was time for him to change.
From the Ancient Wilderness to Chaos, and then from Chaos to the Origin Plane, he always harbored a fire within!
Especially the Hongmeng Divine Spirits, they left no place for Emperor Su's Sect to survive!
He must return to overthrow the rule of the Hongmeng Divine Spirits!
"I'll go first!"
Qin Tianyun said with a smile, and with a wave of his right hand, the whole world suddenly changed into a Purgatory.
Looking around, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood; in the distant horizon, a terrifying demon shadow tens of thousands of zhang tall holding two incredibly exaggerated huge blades, approached them striding through the blood fog that blotted out the sun.
Su Yie could feel that the adversary was much stronger than him, but he didn't shrink back, stepping forward instead.
Emperor Su and Qin Tianyun wouldn't arrange an enemy he couldn't overcome; there must be a way to defeat it.
Su Yie accelerated as he walked, and after a hundred steps, he sprinted off.
Watching his retreating figure, Qin Tianyun mused, "Why do I feel like he's changed?"
The corners of Emperor Su's mouth lifted slightly, "He is Emperor Su; he naturally evolves."
Qin Tianyun snorted, "Why not call himself Celestial Fate God Emperor? Sounds more impressive than Emperor Su."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Su gave him a glare and said, "Can you have some shame?"
"Where am I lacking shame? Show me some respect. Without my capricious travels through time and space, you wouldn't exist!"
"Karma has its retribution, but I am your pinnacle!"
"Boast all you want. I think this youngster is the real pinnacle. Just you wait!"
"Nonsense, he is Emperor Su; naturally, he will reach the pinnacle."
"…"
Qin Tianyun looked grievously at Emperor Su, realizing he couldn't outtalk this fellow.
A miscalculation.
Boom—
A deafening roar came from the front, signifying that the battle had commenced.
Facing the giant demon, Su Yie had no power to resist, yet he used all his wits to stand up time and again.
This was only the first barrier; he could not give up.
Thus, a series of battles unfolded where he faced stronger opponents.
Emperor Su watched coldly, while Qin Tianyun kept shouting anxiously, fearful that Su Yie would suddenly be unable to withstand and concede.
But in Su Yie's eyes, surrender had never been an option.
The two from the past didn't require Su Yie to win; their goal was to temper his will.
No matter the danger, maintain an undaunted and certain victory in heart, even if the enemy far surpassed oneself, even if truly unable to defeat the enemy.
Time lost its meaning in this Soul World.
No idea how much time had passed.
Tattered and bloodied, Su Yie stood before Qin Tianyun with calm eyes and asked, "Is there more?"
The crises presented by Qin Tianyun for Su Yie to confront all ended in failure.
Simply because the gap between enemy and self was too vast. The perils presented by Qin Tianyun were all from after his breakthrough to the Infinite Realm. Despite this, Su Yie didn't blame him, instead feeling as though his appetite had been whetted.
Qin Tianyun shook his head with a smile, "You've done well. Before I died, I imparted my understanding of time and space to you, though currently, you can only grasp a part of it. As your cultivation deepens, you'll come to comprehend more."
As he spoke, he walked up to Su Yie.
Su Yie frowned and asked, "Before you died?"
Qin Tianyun replied with a carefree smile, "I have long since died and been reincarnated as you. This is the contingency I left for my reincarnated self before death. It's something my mother taught me, to always keep an ace up one's sleeve. Don't be sad because you are me, and I am you."
"I'm not sad."
Su Yie answered calmly, causing Qin Tianyun to feel embarrassed.
He suddenly felt that he was being somewhat unlovable.
Then, he raised his right hand, his index finger touching Su Yie's forehead, and his body became transparent, as if about to dissolve into specks of light and fade away.
"Do you have any last wishes?"
Su Yie suddenly asked, and upon hearing the question, Qin Tianyun was taken aback because Su Yie looked very serious.
"I have no last wishes to speak of, but there are two people I owe apologies to. One of whom I'll leave the memory of her face and origin in your mind. If you get the chance, visit her and tell her I have reincarnated."
Qin Tianyun said with a smile, and after he finished speaking, he dissolved into countless points of light that entered Su Yie's forehead.
In the dark recesses of his mind, Su Yie felt that he had gained a portion of memories, but he was temporarily unable to access them.
At that moment, Emperor Su approached Su Yie, saying, "Are you ready? The peril I'm in far exceeds the levels we faced previously."
Su Yie nodded gently and replied, "I'm ready. Let's go, I can't wait to get out there."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Su smiled, a smile that seemed both dismissive and filled with pride.
With a wave of his right hand, the whole world changed again.
Behind them were countless Demon Beasts, consisting of various Races, their auras merging together, their killing intent like a ferocious Hongmeng beast hidden in The Sky Dome.
Opposite them stood a countless army of the Human Clan, roaring with anger, their morale no less formidable than the demon forces behind them.
Emperor Su suddenly disappeared, and both armies moved, like two torrents rushing towards each other.
Su Yie took a deep breath, ready to face the battle.
But which side did he belong to?
Soon, he realized something was wrong.
He didn't belong to either side; to be exact, he was the public enemy of both Races!
...
Within the crevices of space, apart from the strands of space-time current, there was no other matter.
Within one such strand of space-time current, there was a Wraith clinging on.
Upon closer look, this Wraith was growing stronger.
And it was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, it morphed into a human shape -- it was Su Yie.
When his Wraith had recovered, he abruptly opened his eyes, which still held two Golden Crows shrieking within the pupils.
The moment he opened his eyes, it was as if he had become a different person.
"It's better to be alive,"
Su Yie murmured to himself, then immediately turned his attention to the conversations within Emperor Su's Sect stored in his mind.
War Emperor: Tsk, tsk. The Evil King Relic has fallen in the Crimson Shadow Divine Realm, a storm is coming. The Crimson Shadow Divine Realm will not be at peace for a while, try to minimize going out.
Victorious Fighting Buddha: They say the Evil King Relic was even stronger than the Master of the Divine Domain. I didn't expect him to fall just like that.
Black Tiger Emperor: Didn't you feel the oppressive might on that day?
Xiahou Jinxuan: Let me tell you the truth, it was I who cursed him to death.
Imperial Deathstroke: All this is irrelevant, when can I be resurrected?
...
Looking at these familiar and long-missed names, Su Yie showed a slight smile.
From their conversation, it was apparent that the Evil King Relic had just fallen, yet deep in his soul, it felt like countless years had passed.
The peril created by Emperor Su and Qin Tianyun was equivalent to granting Su Yie countless battle experiences, an experience more valuable than millions of years of cultivation.
After all, the risk of cultivation was far less than that of battle.
He couldn't help but recall Emperor Su's final words before disappearing, "I have passed to you all that I can in my lifetime. You will encounter even more troubles ahead. Remember, never make excuses for yourself, don't lose again."
Like Qin Tianyun, Emperor Su had also left many memories for Su Yie, which would gradually become accessible as his Cultivation improved.
From now on, there would be no Emperor Su or Qin Tianyun of the past lives.
There was only him, Su Yie.
