707: Chapter 120: Beauty Is Not a Crime 707: Chapter 120: Beauty Is Not a Crime When cherry blossom petals dance in the wind, it should be an absolutely beautiful scene.

However, the towering sakura tree absorbs various beings among the Eight Million Gods, devils, and reincarnated creatures.

It’s easy to see that this gigantic sakura tree uses these supernatural beings of the Yan Wuyue World as nourishment… making the scene before us extraordinarily eerie. “A world-class nightmare?” Da Zhe stared intently at the massive tree in the distance.

Vaguely, he seemed to see at the center of the sakura tree trunk, the girl in kimono, Miki.

At this moment, Miki’s body had generally melded into this gigantic sakura, her eyes tightly shut, her expression solemn.

Completely disregarding Arex’s attitude, the maid said calmly, “Mr.

Arex’s power comes from the dreams of all living beings.

But beautiful dreams are too few and too hard to acquire.

In contrast, nightmares are much easier.” “As expected of the knowledgeable Ms.

You Ye.” Arex didn’t mind his methods being exposed at all—or rather, if such a method couldn’t be seen through, he would even doubt if this maid from the club before him was a fake.

Da Zhe looked at Arex, then at You Ye, frowning slightly, “What about the vitreous container mentioned earlier?” “An ordinary container.” You Ye said calmly, “Not only does it absorb the nightmares of all the beings devoured beneath this sakura tree now, but it also collects the negative energy of every human who has watched the movie in our existing world…

Let’s just say, anyone who watches that movie will seem soulless, as they are actually drawn into the story of the Movie World—a story that should be able to interface with the Yan Wuyue World and where the movie scenes… probably overlap infinitely.” “Then the people watching the movie…”

You Ye said indifferently, “People naturally wake up after the movie ends.

They won’t stay lost permanently.

For those who’ve watched the movie, they’ll probably just have a special feeling afterwards.

If I have to put it this way, it should be an immersive experience, and the person may feel some mental fatigue, but it won’t have a huge impact…

If it did have a huge impact, Mr.

Arex surely wouldn’t dare to release this movie, right?” “After all, not all powerful beings are like your establishment.” Arex said nonchalantly, “Even I don’t wish to disrupt the normal order of the main world.

And to break the order, I’m told there are services that can be purchased from your esteemed establishment… but doing so would be counterproductive for me.” “Mr.

Arex is too modest.” The maid smiled slightly…

This Dream-Eating Tapir could achieve such feats, if desired—indeed, if Arex intended to do so, reaching such a transaction would undoubtedly be extraordinarily beneficial for her master.

If she could help her master obtain more transaction gold, the maid wouldn’t mind negotiating with Mr.

Arex. “It’s about time, your establishment can take action for me as well… the Yatsumi Palace, I’ve been anticipating it for a long time.” Arex smiled slightly, clasping his hands together, and with a gentle pull, a crack appeared… the passage to the Yatsumi Palace effortlessly opened.

After all, the one who had already stolen nearly a third of the world’s powers found unraveling the spatial structure of the Yan Wuyue World as easy as drinking water. “I’ll go ahead, you two… consider me the strange soldier that suddenly emerges.” Arex smiled confidently and quickly slipped into the crack.

He wasn’t afraid that You Ye and Da Zhe would do nothing—the contractual spirit of the club was supreme.

There were always fearless guests who attempted breaches of contract, but the club had never breached on its initiative. “A vitreous container… a world-class nightmare?” Da Zhe shook his head, “I still don’t get it, why not just battle directly instead of making it so complicated?”

You Ye explained, “Strictly speaking, Arex merely stole Yan Wuyue’s powers.

This type of theft doesn’t count as possession.

Unless he abandons his mark of the main world and completely becomes a creature under the rules of Yan Wuyue, he can’t unconditionally use these powers.

Otherwise, he needs a tremendous amount of strength to sustain the backlash of these powers.

Additionally, he needs to deal with the entity that originally possessed Yan Wuyue, naturally requiring even greater strength.

The so-called vitreous container provides him with an endless source of power.

Now do you understand?” “In simple terms, akin to immigration?” Da Zhe pondered, “This Arex doesn’t want to acquire Yan Wuyue World citizenship, so there are many obstacles to doing things here, requiring a lot more expenditure… and this expenditure is power, right?” “That’s quite aligned with modern understanding.” Miss You Ye smiled.

Almost all Black soul envoys were always respectful to her, even Tai Yinzi.

The one before her was no exception.

Da Zhe was quite an anomaly, but such a mode of interaction was nice too, no wonder the master turned Da Zhe into a Black Soul. “Still many unclear points.” Da Zhe shook his head, “But it doesn’t matter, next up is fighting, right?

At least that’s my strong point.”

With no family concerns and transformed into a Black soul envoy, his body returned to the youthful state of years prior, Da Zhe thus recovered some of that long-lost vigor…

Moreover, working for others while enjoying such grand favors surely required excellent performance.

Without another thought, he pulled down the Zhan Lu Sword, restoring it to its original form, and headed straight for the crack without saying a word. “Da Zhe, wait, you’re still not ready to go now.” You Ye shook her head.

Da Zhe said in surprise, “But I could already invoke the power of the Zhan Lu Sword on Ghost Island?” “That’s still not enough, you need to unlock your potential a bit more.

Only when your own outburst of power is stronger will the power of the Zhan Lu Sword be greater.” “Do I still need to provoke some devils again?

It seems there’s none left…” Da Zhe glanced at the towering sakura tree. “No need, I have a method that can instantly unlock your potential.” The maid smiled slightly. “Alright!

Let’s try it!” Da Zhe didn’t overthink, “What’s the method?” “Just feel a slight bit of pain!” “What?”

Da Zhe was stunned, not reacting in an instant, when he saw a cluster of black flames burst from the palm of this maid.

In a flash, it shot at him—just in an instant, massive black flames began to engulf Da Zhe’s body.

And along with it, the so-called ‘slight feeling’ of pain was… “Ah!

It hurts!!!”

Watching Da Zhe rush into the crack like a rabid dog, the maid merely smiled slightly…

She didn’t dislike Da Zhe’s relaxed attitude, but if such an attitude were to spread to the other Black soul envoys, in the end, it wouldn’t be good.

Managing the Black soul envoys for her master required many techniques.

Watching the crack gradually close, the maid glanced back at the base of the massive sakura tree, murmuring, “Mr.

Arex, you’re not the only one coveting Yan Wuyue…” …

Heavenly Rock Pillar, the origin of the Yan Wuyue World.

In the Yatsumi Palace, representing all beginnings and ends, a faint sigh echoed.

At the same time, Arex, who had torn through space, now stood in the center of the main hall of Yatsumi Palace, gazing at Izanagi and Izanami behind the curtain. “Greetings, both of you.” Arex remained as charming as ever, offering elegant salutations to Izanagi and Izanami.

A low male voice from behind the curtain spoke, “Outsider, you’ve already stolen a third of this world and still aren’t satisfied?”

Arex smiled, “If this third is enough for me to accomplish something…

I too prefer not to battle with the both of you, for that would mean taking considerable risks.

However, if both of you could yield this world fragment to me, it could avoid a harsh conflict.”

The deep male voice became heavier, “You steal what originally belongs to us and now expect us to hand it over… isn’t this request a bit too much?” “No, no, no, please trust me.” Arex took a deep breath, “I assure you, in the future, I will return a world fragment to you, with no deception.”

There was silence behind the curtain.

Finally, the whole Yatsumi Palace trembled slightly as the low male voice coldly said, “Then let us battle, for we will not hand over Yan Wuyue.

In contrast, if you return what you stole, we may let you leave in peace.”

Arex sighed quietly, “Izanagi, Izanami, have you never considered what it might be like someday… if only one of you were left?” “You think you can kill me?!” Izanagi’s voice was filled with rage, “This is my world!

Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven!”

Arex said nothing more, instantly retreating and vanishing from the main hall of Yatsumi Palace…

At the same time, a powerful golden light shot out from the entrance of the hall.

Instantly, a figure charged out from Yatsumi Palace, an imposing man holding a Simple and Elegant Longsword (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven) and a round mirror (Eight Span Mirror) hovering by his side.

Arex put away his smile…

According to the classification of so-called “gods” above transcendent beings in the main contemporary Western World, the divine power exhibited by Izanagi already far exceeds weak divine power, almost reaching low divine power. “You don’t have even a trace of divinity in you, yet you dare to covet the world fragments, overestimating yourself!” Izanagi coldly scrutinized Arex, an overpowering wave emanating from both the Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven and the Eight Span Mirror.

In an instant, the winds and clouds changed colors!

This is the true change of heaven! “Divinity?

This thing is utterly useless.” Arex shook his head, “The more divinity you grasp, the deeper you sink, making it harder to extricate yourself.” “Prepare to die!” Izanagi had no intention of arguing with Arex, and directly attacked.

At this moment, Arex flashed, slicing through space, retreating directly beyond the attack range of the Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven, then smiled slightly and said, “Mister Da Zhe, this is your opponent… please just hold him for me.”

Saying this, Arex waved his hand, and from the crack in space, a figure wrapped entirely in black flames charged out fiercely! “It hurts so much!!!!!!”

Da Zhe!

Da Zhe, whose face twisted in pain!

The Zhan Lu Sword erupted with terrifying sword light—vastly different from when on Ghost Island!

In extreme pain, Da Zhe was like someone holding their breath, then being pierced by hundreds of steel needles on the most sensitive parts of their body, only to be instantly relieved, becoming wildly fierce!

Seeing a guy holding a sword with a mirror hanging beside it, he didn’t care who it was… as long as he could slash it down, right? “So what if you have help!”

Izanagi wasn’t afraid at all, and seeing Da Zhe slash with a sword, he swung the Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven to block it—only to have his expression change instantly upon contact!

The black flames burning on this guy’s body actually made him instantly weaken!

The force of the opponent’s slash was astonishingly powerful!

Boom—!!!

Izanagi’s body couldn’t withstand this terrifying strike and was directly slammed towards the Heavenly Rock Pillar below!

Directly crashing and creating several tens of meters long cracks on the Heavenly Rock Pillar! “Mister Da Zhe, please keep holding Izanagi!” “Got it!!

I’m in so much pain, don’t mess with me!!!”

Arex didn’t mind Da Zhe’s rough words at the moment.

Seizing the opportunity, after saying this, he rushed directly into the Yatsumi Palace, targeting: Izanami!

Meanwhile, the Izanagi knocked into the Heavenly Rock Pillar quickly broke free—such an impact brought pain but did not truly injure him, though his dignity took a hit.

He flew out quite embarrassingly and was just about to take action when that powerfully forceful guy slashed down again with his sword!

Clang clang clang clang!!!!

Madman!

Izanagi cursed under his breath, yet hurriedly defended himself!

The black flames on this guy were bizarre and tenacious, not to mention the sword he wielded was even more terrifying, causing the Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven to emit continuous mournful cries with each block! …

Arex entered the Yatsumi Palace again, and naturally, sitting behind the hanging drapery was Izanami. “How about it?

If you would lend me this Yan Wuyue, I promise to return something even better to you in the future.” Arex repeated his offer. “No wonder you’re so confident.” Izanami finally spoke.

The drapery was suddenly pulled apart from both sides.

Sitting there, Izanami had a green jade embedded on her forehead, emitting a greenish glow.

Izanami slowly opened her eyes, shook her head, and said, “Unfortunately, even if you have help, I could never send Yan Wuyue away.” “In that case…” Arex sighed, “I can only truly become a robber this time.”

Izanami also sighed sadly, saying softly, “You once asked, if I were the only one left in this world, what would I feel, didn’t you?”

Arex furrowed his brows, suddenly sensing something amiss, he instinctively squinted.

Only to see Izanami’s unparalleled beautiful face suddenly become terrifying… like a decayed corpse with many white maggots crawling on it… “Who can understand the hatred and sorrow in my heart…” Izanami sighed sadly, yet it sounded more like a crying voice, suddenly turning sharp like a ghost, “Seeing me like this, you can die now!!!”

In an instant, Arex felt the space around him shatter, a furious force maniacally tearing towards his body! “You…

The powers Izanagi possesses are fake!” Arex’s face changed drastically, “They’re all in you!”

Medium Divine Power!

Under Izanami’s eerie and frightening appearance was concealed a mighty divine power far surpassing Izanagi! … …

According to legend, Izanami died after giving birth to the Fire God, and a grieving Izanagi killed the Fire God and personally pursued her into the land of Yomi.

Izanagi spoke to his wife Izanami across the gate of Yomi, “My wife, the lands we created together are not yet finished, come back with me.”

Izanami happily replied, “Alas, I’ve eaten the food of Yomi… but since my husband has come for me, I shall return with you.

Please wait a moment, let me plead with the master of Yomi.

But please, do not look at me.”

Izanagi agreed but waited long without a result, out of curiosity, he ventured into Yomi’s halls.

Lighting a flame, he illuminated the surroundings, and in the darkness found Izanami’s form, only to be greatly shocked by her appearance.

Izanami was covered in writhing maggots, her appearance hideous, Izanagi was utterly terrified, turning back to Yomi’s halls.

Izanami chased after in sadness, and eventually, Izanami and Izanagi stood face to face across the Chihiki Stone, exchanging a solemn marital vow, then Izanami sorrowfully returned to Yomi… “Returning to Yomi, Izanami found a world fragment, and history diverged and evolved from there, leading to the Yan Wuyue World…”

Gazing towards the horizon, Boss Luo, standing on a high slope, glanced again at the blooming Sakura Tree and said indifferently, “Arex…

Izanami, which of you is more tenacious?”
