The space swayed, and Qianye Fentian's vision became clear; he stood in a completely different environment.
The unfamiliar environment caused his body to stiffen.
He reacted instantly and pulled out a sword; his divine energy burst out of his body, ravaging the land around him instantly.
His eyes scanned his surroundings frantically, gathering as much information as possible and looking for any potential attack.
Suddenly, his eyes landed on a woman standing on a peak distance away from him.
She wore golden robes that hid her body perfectly, yet it couldn't hide its heavenly allure. Despite being covered in robes, just looking at her would make any man feel his blood boil and enter a dazed state.
She wore a thin veil over her face, and her long golden hair danced with the wind gently; her golden eyes stared directly at Qianye Fentian without any emotions, as if staring at a dead rat.
Qianye Fentian's eyes narrowed, and he muttered softly under his breath, yet his voice was heard by the woman standing on the peak.
"Ying'er…"
Qianye Ying'er did not reply.
Her golden eyes glowed brightly; the belt that had clenched around her waist suddenly loosened and turned into a sword within her outstretched hand.
She vanished.
Qianye Fentian's eyes widened, and his pupils constricted to the size of a needle. Without any indication, he swung his sword upward.
BOOM
An earth-shattering explosion occurred, instantly vaporizing everything around Fentian and forcing him to take a dozen steps backward.
"Ying'er, you…" Fentian raised his head and stared at the golden-haired beautiful woman and asked with a frown. "Did you really join hands with the devil?"
"... Wasn't it you who taught me to pursue strength and the well-being of Brahma Monarch God Realm above everything else? I am doing exactly as you have taught me, Qianye Fentian. Why are you so surprised now?"
"I didn't teach you to betray Brahma Monarch God Realm for strength."
Qianye Ying'er sneered.
"Who said I have betrayed Brahma Monarch God Realm?"
Fentian frowned.
His eyes narrowed as he stared at Ying'er, not understanding her thought process.
Ying'er smirked.
"I will present Brahma Monarch God Realm as a gift to my husband. It will prosper under him more than all your generations combined."
"Your… husband?" Fentian's eyes widened before he suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with disdain and scorn. "To think I would see a day where the Brahma Goddess, the most beautiful woman of the Primal Chaos, the only one who plays with the lives of men, miserably falls in love with a man! And a devil at that!"
Fentian's eyes glowed with anger as he glared towards Ying'er.
"Don't get too ahead of yourself, Qianye Ying'er! Your so-called husband won't be living to see the day you envision!"
Ying'er smiled.
"Is it because of the Dragon Monarch?"
Fentian's face stiffened when he heard Ying'er's disdainful tone.
He suddenly felt his chest constricting.
Ying'er wasn't a stupid person; Fentian knew that more than anyone else in the whole Primal Chaos.
The fact that she still looked relaxed and even disdainful towards Dragon Monarch could only mean she was confident enough in the devil to deal with him.
This made his face turn slightly ugly.
"Qianye Fentian, let me ask you, who do you think released the rumor that my husband possesses Heavenly Treasures, except for Eternal Heaven Pearl, when he never used one in public?"
Fentian's eyes widened.
The bad premonition was getting heavier and heavier within his heart.
"Are you saying… he spread the rumors himself?"
Ying'er did not reply, but the smile on her face told Fentian everything.
In an instant, he understood; they all have been played by the devil.
From the start till now, everything was according to the devil's plan, and they simply followed the script written by him like a bunch of marionettes, with the devil being the one controlling the strings.
The more Fentian thought, the more he felt his heartbeat increasing.
Sweat formed between his brows, and a look of slight nervousness appeared on his face.
Ying'er felt jubilant seeing the slight panic within Fentian's eyes.
She raised her hand and pointed the tip of her golden sword towards Fentian, her eyes returning to cold and indifferent; she asked.
"Before I kill you, let me ask you something… have you ever regretted killing my mother?"
A strange glint appeared within Fentian's eyes.
"Always."
"..."
A silence formed between Ying'er and Fentian before it was broken by the soft and melodious laughter of Ying'er.
It was gentle and hypnotic, enough to make anyone want to hear it for a lifetime.
"You never change, Qianye Fentian!" She suddenly stopped laughing and raised the sword high in the sky, but she coldly uttered. "Now die!"

"How cute. Using soul-based attacks against me." Yun Che chuckled, his voice full of sarcasm as his ink-black gaze stared at Long Bai.
His soul was that of a True Dragon God. It was utterly stupid using soul-based attacks on him unless the user was at least a True God Realm or higher. Otherwise, it was useless.
Finding room to breathe, Yue Wuya vanished and appeared a distance away from Yun Che with Nan Qianqiu, the four Hell Sea Kings, and Tumi circled around Yun Che.
"What did you do to Lord Juekong, devil!?" Tumi glared at Yun Che with anger and nervousness. He still could not grasp his head around what happened to Qianye Fentian and Xing Juekong. One second they were here, and the next second they simply vanished from the world.
Even their divine sense could not be picked up anymore.
"Who knows." Yun Che shrugged. "My wives wanted to cook, so I gave them materials for it; if you know what I mean."
"You…" Tumi's eyes widened. Horrified, he shouted. "You cannibalistic bastard!"
"... You obviously did not get it." Yun Che shook his head and smiled. "Well, it doesn't really matter."
He looked at everyone before his gaze peered behind at the expedition force; he said: "If you guys want to participate, now is the time."
No one answered him.
Instead, everyone looked at each other, afraid to take the first step.
They would have if not for the fact that Yun Che simply yeeted two God Emperors in an instant with no one understanding how.
The unknown of Yun Che's existence made them afraid to take even a single step towards him.
This made Yun Che laugh softly, and he looked towards Long Bai.
"Guess even your prestige cannot overcome their will to preserve their own lives."
Long Bai's expression stiffened, but he didn't comment.
Even though he was displeased, he understood their behavior so he remained quiet. When even they couldn't do anything against him, other people will only be
throwing their lives for nothing.
Tiring him out? That was a laughable concept for people of their level who could potentially fight for months without any issue. Before it happens, the expedition force would be wiped out.
"It's seven vs one then. Be sure to entertain me."
