"I am the messenger of the ruler of heaven. I have been commanded to kill you," said the heavenly messenger calmly.
Zhao Ying, hearing this, was shocked. "Why does the ruler of heaven want to kill me? I only fought against those who tried to kill me. I have never wronged the ruler of heaven!" replied Zhao Ying, his expression filled with confusion and disbelief.
The messenger said, "You don't need to know. It's pointless for me to tell you, as you will die anyway," he said coldly.
"Fine, no need for further words. Come at me if you want to kill me!" Zhao Ying said with a hint of courage.
"Hahahaha, you're merely in the Chaos Void realm, yet you dare to challenge me? Save your energy, it's futile," the messenger replied nonchalantly.
Zhao Ying, hearing this, began to think hard about how to defeat him. As he was deep in thought, the messenger suddenly attacked. With just a single palm strike, the attack caused another planet to tremble. Zhao Ying instinctively blocked the attack with his own power, but he couldn't fully withstand it. The blow left him severely injured.
His wife, Xu Mei, seeing her husband gravely wounded, rushed to his side. With courage, she shouted, "The ruler of heaven is a coward!"
"My husband, are you alright? You promised me you wouldn't get hurt," Xu Mei said, her voice filled with deep sorrow.
"I-I'm fine. Why are you here? Leave before you get caught in his attack!" Zhao Ying replied, worried for his wife's safety.
"I won't go anywhere. I'll stay by your side forever, even if I die today. Hic... hic..." Xu Mei said, her voice trembling with sadness.
"YOU COWARD! RULER OF HEAVEN, HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY HUSBAND WHO CAN'T EVEN FIGHT BACK!" Xu Mei screamed at the ruler of heaven.
Zhao Ying, hearing her words, was shocked and quickly said, "Xu Mei, don't say that! I don't want to see you suffer," Zhao Ying said, panic evident in his voice.
The heavenly messenger, hearing Xu Mei's words, grew furious and decided to annihilate both of them. "You! How dare you speak like that!" the messenger said angrily. Fueled by his rage, he launched a serious attack at them. The force of the attack shook the Chaos realm violently.
As the attack was about to hit, Zhao Ying, severely injured, could do little to defend himself. But unexpectedly, Xu Mei jumped in front of him, shielding him with her own body. The attack struck Xu Mei, and she lost her life. In her final moments, she whispered to Zhao Ying, "You must live longer and live well..."
After the attack subsided, Zhao Ying saw his wife lying lifeless. He held her body tightly, his tears breaking free. Zhao Ying had lost the most precious person in his life. Overwhelmed by grief and rage, he lost control and swore to the heavens and earth, "I, ZHAO YING, WILL AVENGE MY WIFE! I WILL KILL THE RULER OF HEAVEN!" he roared, his voice filled with uncontrollable fury.
He unleashed his full power, pushing it to an extreme level. Even the two primordial gods within him merged into one, granting him the power of the ancient Four-Star Deity. A fierce battle ensued. Their attacks tore through the void, creating rifts in the fabric of space. Zhao Ying, consumed by rage, unleashed four ancient divine techniques from the records of the ancient gods. He knew the risk—his cultivation level would plummet from forcing such power.
The heavenly messenger, seeing Zhao Ying's seriousness, drew a sword capable of severing fate itself. They clashed, exchanging techniques and power, their battle evenly matched. Each strike they unleashed shook the universe, creating waves of energy that destroyed everything around them.
Zhao Ying, despite his injuries and declining cultivation, refused to give up. He no longer cared about the consequences. His only goal now was to avenge Xu Mei. "For you, Xu Mei, I will destroy the ruler of heaven!" he roared, unleashing his ultimate technique, shattering all obstacles in his path.
The battle raged on, and no one knew how it would end. But one thing was certain: Zhao Ying would not stop until he had avenged his beloved wife.
