I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1477 20.41 First Black Star - Injured

Imperial Palace,

Emperorʼs Chamber

Emperor Hei Xiaojing didnʼt expect that someone had sneaked into his living area and that he didnʼt notice it at all. Only when the lord who was backing him up had made up the move did he realize how careless he was. He didnʼt expect that there would be someone in his room and even witnessed everything he had said and his conversation with this hidden lord.

The man at the opposite side of the communication crystal stated, [Whoever is spying on you knows you are not the real human emperor. Is there someone who has doubted your existence?]

The fake human emperor was dazed for a moment, but remember Yun Ming, who is a divine one yet in mortal flesh. He didnʼt take him seriously, as he had the memory of the original human emperor who could defeat even the gods. Thatʼs why he thought he could defeat Yun Ming anytime he wanted. He is so confident that he didnʼt take the query of this official.

He shook his head in response to the unknown lordʼs question.

”No, I donʼt know. Maybe I acted a bit unnaturally that every official and minister thinks there is something wrong with me. They all said that I suddenly changed and it made me uncomfortable. I am not doing anything different,” said the fake human emperor.

[...For now, donʼt act too much. Keep quiet if you can, and donʼt make a move unless necessary. No matter who was that just now, itʼs obvious that your strange actions had made them question your current identity as the human emperor. If this continues, your life-exchange curse will backlash, and you will instantly return to your original self with a short lifespan.

You donʼt want that to happen to you,] said the man with an unknown identity.

The fake human emperor nodded his head like an obedient child and said, ”Yes, I donʼt want it to happen.”

[If so, wait until the Life-exchange curse has been completed before doing anything else. Also, donʼt worry about that man who was here just now, he had been tainted by darkness. It would be a bit hard for him to survive. Just do as I told you to do.]

The communication between the two had ended by the unknown one from the other side. Meanwhile, the anxious fake human emperor from before had all started to calm down. With his confidence towards his hidden backer, he knew he could continue to live this life as he wished to. After all, this identity will be his in the future.

The fake human emperor looked at the mirror in his room. He touched the fake, which wasnʼt used to be and smiled darkly as he mumbled,

”In the future, not only this face, by your power, authority, fake and riches shall become mine. I will be the feared human emperor and live my life as extravagantly as I wish to.”

On the other hand, somewhere at the outskirts of the Imperial capital, Yun Ming comes out of the shadow realm and falls kneeling on the ground. His black robes for wardens had left a huge claw mark on his back, and it continues to bleed with black blood.

Thud!

Warden Yun Ming successfully escaped from the Emperorʼs Chamber albeit wounded by the sudden attack of the unknown man. He didnʼt know whether that man was a beast or a monster to leave such a huge mark on his back. The worst of it was that this claw was made from darkness itself.

Cough!

Yun Ming pukes out black blood as he feels the darkness corroding him from the inside. If not for the fact that he had been converted into a demon god, he would have long gone insane. Every second that passes allows him to feel the pain of his soul churning as if something inside was eating him inside and his tears couldnʼt help but fall. Find more to read at empire

”Argh~ it hurts~...hah~” Yun Ming cried out silently. After all, unlike Hei Anjingʼs high tolerance in pain, he is just an ordinary celestial god.

Warden Yun Ming can already feel his consciousness blacking out from pain. Before he completely lost consciousness he used a teleportation scroll to bring him to where the God of Void is. After all, if there is someone who can save him, it can only be this Sovereign Lord.

Whoosh~

With the effects of the teleportation activating Yun Mingʼs figure who had longed fainted and disappeared from the spot. A few moments later a man wearing a black overall cloak appeared in the area where Yun Ming was first to appear. Obviously, this man left a trace of his aura when he attacked warden Yun Ming and chased after him to kill him.

”My aura disappeared here. Hm? A trace of space elements. So, did that one use space teleportation to escape? So the spy is someone from either the cultivation world or... an foreign god.”

The man mumbles on his own and he turns silent after saying these words.

Finally, after thinking of something else, he murmured before he disappeared in the darkness.

”Either way, my plans wouldnʼt fail.”

Borderlands, Xiejing Province.

Anjia Village, Wang Xiajieʼs mansion.

Wang Xiajie and the rest were staying in the living room having a fun conversation when suddenly they heard a loud sound of something falling coming from the backyard.

BAM!

”What is that!? So loud,” Aunt Yan asked as she jolted up from her seat. She was about to take a look, but her husband grabbed her arm with a serious face.

Uncle Shun with a serious face said, ”Stay here with Xiao An. Xiao Yue, protect these two. Xiao Xia and I will take a look.”

Wang Xiajie had no problem with this and even took his spare sword hanging from the wall and went to the backyard with Uncle Shun. They saw the unconscious Yun Ming laying on the ground. His skin was tainted with black veins and he was frowning even in his unconscious state. Obviously, the pain of the corrosion of darkness in him was beyond the tolerance of blessing the God if Void had given to him.

Uncle Shun said, ”An injured person? How can he appear in this backyard? Anyway, letʼs help him up first!”

He was about to touch Yun Ming, but was grabbed stop by Wang Xiajie who is now frowning at the scene.

”Is there something wrong, Xiao Xia?” asked Uncle Shun.

Wang Xiajie took a step forward and used his sheathed spare silver sword to touch the black things on Yun Mingʼs skin. As expected, the darkness instantly corroded the ordinary sword and Wang Xiajie had to burn the darkness away but the sword was literally eaten by the darkness.

Sizzles~

”Uncle Shun, the aura of him is dangerous. Go back inside the house and please call Zhi Yue out. We need to purify this aura in him first,” said Wang Xiajie.

This time Uncle Shun didnʼt pretend to be ignorant and gave Wang Xiajie a serious look. Wang Xiajie knew that this old couple were definitely not as simple as it seems and this time he wasnʼt trying the fact that he and Zhi Yue were also different and most likely not mortals.

Uncle Shun said, ”Though I expected you to be different with your memory intact, it seems you are not a mortal as you portray, Xiao Xia.”

”Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan werenʼt completely hiding it yourself. No one in a forgotten village full of refugees will be able to read or write. Only mortals who studied in the capital like the old man (doctor) are able to do so. Even our village leader is incapable of doing so, but for you and Aunt Yan, you were literate from birth to have such kind of proficiency,” said Wang Xiajie.

Uncle Shun said, ”There is a reason why your aunt and I stayed in this place. One is to mourn for our dead son and second is to find your auntʼs sister.”

”Uncle Shun, letʼs talk about this later. This one on the ground wonʼt last long if we waste more time,” said Wang Xiajie.

Uncle Shun seems to know about this dark energy in Yun Ming and frowned as he didnʼt know what Wang Xiajie and Zhi Yue plan to deal with it.

Wang Xiajie noticed his worry and said, ”Donʼt worry, Uncle. We know who this man is. He is... a subordinate of... mine.”

”Sigh~ okay, letʼs continue the conversation from before after dinner or at least once Xiao An is asleep. I will call Xiao Yue out for you,” Uncle Shun said before returning inside.

Wang Xiajie responded, ”Okay, Uncle Shun.”

The moment Uncle Shun went inside the mansion and was replaced with Zhi Yue, the approachable aura around Wang Xiajie had disappeared and instead it was replaced with coldness of someone who was indifferent in the life and death of everything around him.

He walked towards Yun Ming and raised his hand to control his qi to lift the warden into the air. When Zhi Yue came out of the mansion, he saw his lord using the purple qi of the original vessel to act this way. Itʼs not like he can use his darkness element or ability to devour without holding back, he would be treated as a Demon God if that happens.

Zhi Yue exclaimed, ”Warden Yun!? Oh no! What happened to him?”

”We can only know if we ask the person himself. Cover the house with a barrier so no one outside can see what we are doing,” said Wang Xiajie.

Zhi Yue replied, ”Yes, my lord!”

Rumbles~

Without any hesitation, Zhi Yue erected a huge and powerful barrier that covers the whole mansion. The old couple noticed this powerful aura, and they both frowned then looked at one another. Anwei, on the other hand, only felt the tremor of the land and was frightened.

Anwei with a scared face said, ”What is that? An earthquake?”

Aunt Yan approached the frightened little one and said, ”Itʼs not dangerous. Donʼt worry, Xiao An. How about you help grandma with cooking meals for dinner?”

”What are we going to cook tonight?” asked Anwei as he looked delighted to cook for the people in the mansion.

Aunt Yan looked at the young one with a doting gaze and said, ”Grandma, I want to eat some Beggar Chicken and Peking Duck!”

”Haha~ okay, letʼs go and prepare the chicken. Ask your grandpa to dig a hole and start a fire in the front yard,” Aunt Yan said.

With a confused expression mixed with innocence, Anwei asked. ”Donʼt we usually do it in the backyard? Grandpa, what happened in the backyard?”

”Um. A subordinate of your Uncle Wang had arrived. They will come over once they finish talking. They seem to be saying something private, so donʼt go in the backyard for a while, Xiao An,” said Uncle Shun.

Anwei didnʼt ask more, as he knew that it was something secret he could not know. ”Okay, grandpa. Please make a fire in the front yard. Grandma and I will prepare the chicken.”

Aunt Yan, who felt for the kitchen just now, threw six large sweet potatoes towards Uncle Shun. She is obviously asking him to roast it.

”We can get that for dessert. Xiao An comes with grandma to the kitchen,” Aunt Yan said.

Anwei responded, ”Yes, Grandma~”

Meanwhile, in the backyard...

Zhi Yue just finished creating a barrier around the mansion and is now trying to contact Zhi Yang. As for Wang Xiajie, he used the purple aura from his body and used it to push out the darkness element in the body of Yun Ming. This process was so painful that Yun Ming screamed in pain.

AHHH!

Zhi Yue instantly erected a sound isolation barrier in the backyard, which prevented people from hearing Yun Mingʼs scream, but the other three inside the mansion actually heard it before it was abruptly isolated by the barrier created by Zhi Yue.

”Milord, is the corrosion of the abyss (darkness) that painful?” asked Zhi Yue.

The God of Void said, ”Yes, as it targets oneʼs soul instead of the flesh. Once the target protected itʼs soul his body would suffer unimaginable pain. Itʼs no different from experiencing the Nether Prisonʼs punishment multiple times.”

Hiss!

System Yueʼs thoughts: ʼI heard rumors about Lord Hei enduring this kind of pain for a thousand of years. How did he survive such agonyʼ

Zhi Yue was terrified, ”Your power is too scary, Milord!”

”Shut up or I will throw you in the abyss (void)!” said the God of Void.
