Chapter 1703: Chapter 190: Jiang Xing Takes Action
The Lei Yan King heard this and nodded, saying, "This is right. Actually, I’ve always wanted to complete my research on the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower early, but I didn’t dare to do so while you were not around. It’s not that I’m afraid of going mad, but I’m afraid if I go mad, I might never awaken and never see you again."
"Now that you are here, I feel relieved. Your archery greatly restrains me. If I truly go mad and can’t awaken, you... you shouldn’t hold back and kill me."
"If I can’t live lucidly, then I shouldn’t let you down by dying."
The Lei Yan King sighed and said.
"I’ve found a solution upon my return, which is to create a world and undergo a cycle of reincarnation."
"The Yuan Ci Secret Realm possesses very strong Rule Power, comparable to the realm outside. So if we establish a Rule World within, we can experience a cycle of life, aging, illness, and death. This way, we can dig out and unleash the extreme of our mutual understanding, which might allow me to completely suppress your Demon Heart."
"You mean—a lifetime together until old age?"
The Lei Yan King instinctively said.
However, this notion birthed an indescribable sense of familiarity in him, as if he had done it before.
Even the outcome after a lifetime together until old age seemed vaguely familiar to him, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t recall it.
"Uh—It’s like that. I just feel we have a destined relationship through past lives and present life, otherwise my character wouldn’t make me close to any unfamiliar man."
Xiao Ziyi hesitated for a moment and then said.
The Lei Yan King nodded and did not doubt her, rather he said, "Then, let’s try it."
In this narrative, the Lei Yan King learned from Xiao Ziyi the method of creating rules, and combining it with the True Void Heavenly Prohibition he mastered, and the endless corpses, the Lei Yan King created the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, Blood River, and Life Ancient Tree, and founded the Yuan Magnetic Stone Gate within the Yuan Ci Secret Realm.
Beyond the Yuan Magnetic Stone Gate lies a Desolate world.
In this world, the Lei Yan King named himself ’Zhou Yan’, and Xiao Ziyi named herself ’Feng Zishuang’.
Thus, a life akin to ordinary people began.
The two naturally experienced life and death together, passionately living through aging, illness, and death without any regrets. If there were regrets, it would be because Zhou Yan was too good to Feng Zishuang, while Feng Zishuang had some deficiencies in memory, often inexplicably losing memory, or inexplicably losing sight and strength in her hands.
To cure Feng Zishuang’s condition, Zhou Yan naturally endured many hardships and encountered many beloved confidantes. However, despite these confidantes being deeply in love with Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan forsook them for his deep love for Feng Zishuang.
These confidantes had different personalities, some were very adorable, some were very gentle, and some very seductive...
Under such circumstances, Feng Zishuang felt more guilty and indebted to Zhou Yan, so she decided that in the next life, if possible, she would divide herself into extraordinary women of varying personalities, guarding Zhou Yan’s side, allowing him to experience the love of women with different charms and personalities...
Such a lifetime together soon came to an end.
Zhou Yan and Feng Zishuang eventually perished when they reached the limit of their cultivation.
And the Lei Yan King and Xiao Ziyi awakened from the True Illusion Realm at this time.
Upon awakening, the Lei Yan King’s eyes contained endless tenderness, and Feng Zishuang, also Xiao Ziyi, was equally tender.
"Such a life is truly... mesmerizing. Perhaps this is the most beautiful memory of my life as Xiao Ziyi."
Xiao Ziyi sighed softly, her gaze showing a hint of confusion as she looked at the Lei Yan King.
She was already struggling to distinguish between the True Void.
"Yes, only..."
The Lei Yan King spoke but paused.
He then looked at the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower with some longing.
"The greatest ability of the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower is its ability to distort space-time, which is an extremely terrifying capability. If controlled well, it would be a powerful trump card, but if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be very frightening."
The Lei Yan King pondered for a moment and said.
Xiao Ziyi nodded.
Only after a long time did Xiao Ziyi snap out of the memory of a lifetime together until old age.
Subsequently, she became much calmer.
"This lifetime’s memory made me understand part of the function of the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower. Crucially, it gave me a profound insight into the world of the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, onto the world we lived in, the Heavenly Sacrifice Continent and the Lei Yan Continent. Since this is the case, however, these endless corpses may not necessarily die but can be revived."
"This is a method of living through the next life. If those geniuses of destiny can live to the next life this way, then my killings have not caused harm but rather saved so many exceptional geniuses."
The Lei Yan King pondered and said.
"Yes, the life within the Breeding Ground will ultimately be imprisoned by the mark and harvested, fate cannot be changed, but after becoming corpses, a remnant of the Origin remains, breaking the mark instead. If relying on the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower and unique abilities to live through the next life, you’ve instead bestowed immense blessings to the Endless Planets!"
"Only, doing so will require you to pay a huge price."
Xiao Ziyi hesitated and said.
"The price is irrelevant, as long as I’m at peace, and can be relieved, then it’s worth it. Moreover, if the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower and the Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm converge, these corpses can just revive into your Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm, eliminating any flaws."
The Lei Yan King said.
"This—this is indeed a perfect approach!"
Xiao Ziyi, upon hearing this, was extremely happy too.
On her beautiful face, there appeared a sincere and absolutely stunning smile.
This was the first time Lei Yan King saw such a smile in the Void World beyond the promise of a lifetime together.
Seeing such a smile, Lei Yan King felt that even giving up everything was worth it.
At that moment, Lei Yan King felt very gratified.
However, often things take an unexpected turn when they are at their most beautiful.
And this time, in such a wonderful moment, an ancient figure suddenly appeared in the void.
This ancient figure was extremely powerful, carrying immense killing intent.
This killing intent was so intense that it was suffocating.
Even Xiao Ziyi and Lei Yan King, facing this suffocating killing intent, felt chills all over.
"Lei Yan King, since your Immortal Evil Soul has shattered and is of no further use, you should just disappear."
This voice spoke coldly.
Such a determination to kill was fully displayed.
This person was indeed Jiang Xing, the Family Head of the Jiang family.
He was not only a supreme expert of the Sword Venerate Realm but far stronger than this level.
Immortal?
King Realm?
Lei Yan King did not know.
The current Lei Yan King, without the memory that followed, did not yet comprehend Immortal or King Realm.
Of course, in the present time-axis, such beings did not exist.
Because such existence was not allowed to appear within the time-axis—at least, not before a crack in the time-axis appeared.
This situation, Lei Yan King did not know, Jiang Xing knew, but would not speak of it.
Jiang Xing’s current realm naturally approached the Immortal closely, but it was not his true realm; after all, appearing at this time, he, like Jiang He, was a projection existence.
At this moment, facing Lei Yan King, endless killing intent arose.
And such killing intent, Lei Yan King’s benevolent origin, was absolutely unable to resist.
What could resist it was only the evil intent.
Evil intent could not only resist but even had the ability to slay and devour Jiang Xing, only Jiang Xing himself did not know of this cruel trump card of Lei Yan King.
In his view, after losing the Immortal Evil Soul, even if Lei Yan King went mad with bloodlust, he was not worth worrying about.
Yet even if there was no worry, Jiang Xing would never be careless. At such a level, the error of underestimation would not occur.
Lei Yan King felt the pressure of death, he glanced at Xiao Ziyi, his eyes showing a resolute look.
"No—"
Xiao Ziyi seemed to sense something and immediately blocked it.
But Lei Yan King just took a deep and meaningful look at Xiao Ziyi, whatever she was about to say to stop him, was left unsaid.
In that gaze lay the voice from the depths of Lei Yan King’s heart.
"Ziyi, if I don’t rely on the Demon Heart, we will both surely die, and when that time comes, if the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower falls into Jiang Xing’s hands, everything will be over. But if I use the Demon Heart, I will definitely hand over the control of the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower to you at the moment of attack. After I hold up Jiang Xing, you can then leave."
"If I fall into madness and can’t extricate myself, can’t wake up, if you can’t call me back to clarity, then—kill me. This way, the mummified bodies in the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City will also have a chance at resurrection."
Lei Yan King’s gaze was filled with such emotions.
And such complex things, Xiao Ziyi could see through with one glance.
But her heart was filled with incomparable pain, pain suffocatingly deep.
Yet Xiao Ziyi knew this was the best solution, she also had to think from the big picture, so she stopped trying to stop him.
"Roar—"
A wild shout burst out, blood and energy throughout his body completely erupted into fury.
As long as he wanted to, the Demon Heart’s evil intent could erupt at any moment.
But before the eruption, Lei Yan King transferred all the energy of the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower into Xiao Ziyi’s brow, and then with a shout, charged directly at Jiang Xing.
"What? How could it be this powerful?"
Jiang Xing was also greatly startled, obviously extremely shocked.
