Under Nie Chu’s expectant gaze, Zheng Ya decisively shook her head.
"In the struggle for the Great Dao, to become the strongest under heaven, to shatter the void — which of these is not more interesting than the love between men and women? Love? It is nothing more than a lie spoken to obtain the other person. You are in the Emperor Realm, and yet you cannot even understand such a shallow truth?"
"Oh, that is right. If you had understood, you would not have failed to notice that I was concealing my cultivation."
"Since that is the case, before I extract your Earth Soul, I am willing to say this once: I love you."
The light in Nie Chu’s eyes completely dimmed.
It was as if he were recalling his laughable life.
But Zheng Ya did not give him much time. She immediately raised her hand and extracted his Earth Soul.
In the next instant, a faint phantom of Nie Chu appeared beside Zheng Ya.
Seeing this, Ye Yu could not help but frown.
He sighed inwardly. Originally, he had planned to complete a grand dream on Nie Chu. But now it had turned out like this.
What a waste.
Yue Ziwei stepped forward directly and said with a smile, "My lady, you should take the three souls and seven spirits of these people as well. After you are done, wait a little for your husband. Let us shatter the void together and ascend to the God Realm. That will be true perfection!"
Zheng Ya smiled, and her smile was beautiful.
Yue Ziwei was momentarily entranced.
So much so that, without the slightest defense, an immortal sword pierced through his chest.
Only when the intense pain struck did he awaken.
Yue Ziwei looked at Zheng Ya in disbelief.
She, however, did not diminish her smile. "Ziwei, no matter how useful a tool is, once it has fulfilled its purpose, being discarded is the only choice."
"What makes you think you could remain by my side forever?"
The two black-robed ghosts behind him instinctively attempted to flee.
But it was already too late.
A streak of sword qi swept out, and both ghosts were instantly reduced to scattered souls.
The eight chains all fell into Zheng Ya’s hands.
With a sudden exertion of force, she extracted the seven spirits from seven individuals and, together with Nie Chu’s Earth Soul, absorbed them into her body.
One ghost remained, struggling desperately.
Yet Zheng Ya did not extract his Heaven Soul. Instead, she slew him with a single sword strike.
After finishing all of this, Zheng Ya finally turned her gaze toward Ye Yu.
At this moment, her body seemed plated in gold, radiating golden light.
She appeared sacred and untouchable.
Ye Yu said softly, "Is this the moment of reckoning? Just now I was still wondering what role I played in your game. Now, I think I understand. What you want is my Heaven Soul, is that it?"
Zheng Ya smiled. "Correct. You are much smarter than that fool Yue Ziwei."
"To be honest, the speed at which you break through realms far exceeded my expectations."
"The three souls and seven spirits I require — the stronger the better. Originally, I only expected you to reach the Ghost Immortal Realm."
"I did not expect that you are already in the Ghost Lord Realm."
"If Nie Chu had not acted first, I might have waited until you stepped into the Emperor Realm before taking your Heaven Soul."
"Actually, you need not be too afraid. I will help you complete your dream of shattering the void and ascending to the God Realm. It is just that only your Heaven Soul will go up. You have helped so many people fulfill their dreams — you should be content. This time, let me help you fulfill yours, shall I?"
As she spoke, Zheng Ya had already sealed off this stretch of heaven and earth with immortal power.
The Heaven-Defying Three Souls and Seven Spirits was only one final step away from completion. She would not give Ye Yu any chance to escape.
In her eyes, Ye Yu in the Ghost Lord Realm was nothing more than meat on a chopping board.
As long as he could not flee, he would naturally be at her mercy.
Yet Ye Yu could not help but laugh.
"Where exactly did you see fear in me? Is it possible that the one who should be afraid is you?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Zheng Ya’s face grew even more brilliant.
"At a time like this, you still want to struggle?"
"You are a reincarnator, that is true. But the gap of two major realms is a fatal flaw you can never make up."
"Moreover, do not forget — I possess the Great Dao. What will you use to fight me?"
Zheng Ya was not wrong. The power of the Great Dao at the Emperor Realm could naturally crush any immortal technique.
Not to mention the two major realms between them.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how one looked at it, this was a situation Zheng Ya would win without question.
However, Ye Yu had never been someone who could be defined by the word normal.
"What if I use a divine technique to fight you?"
Ye Yu suddenly lifted his head.
That sentence caused the smile on Zheng Ya’s face to freeze instantly.
Then she shouted coldly, "Are you bluffing me?"
Ye Yu shook his head slightly. "You can lie to me — why can I not lie to you? Is it possible that I am a reincarnator from the God Realm?"
Zheng Ya’s pupils contracted violently in that instant.
Immediately afterward, Ye Yu formed a hand seal with one hand.
Divine Technique, Hell of Fear!
In an instant, this entire stretch of heaven and earth plunged into complete darkness.
The immortal power within Zheng Ya’s body vanished entirely. She became a powerless mortal.
In the next moment, the thing she feared most began to appear one after another.
In just two breaths, this Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouse of the Underworld fell completely.
Her immortal body shattered entirely.
Ye Yu lowered his hand seal and began to gasp ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) for breath.
Sure enough, using a divine technique at the Ghost Lord Realm was still too forced.
But fortunately, he had successfully killed Zheng Ya.
With her death, the Earth Soul of Nie Chu and the seven spirits she had just absorbed reappeared.
Although Zheng Ya had not yet had time to completely digest them,
they could no longer return to their original bodies.
They could only dissolve into countless specks of light in the air.
Nie Chu’s Earth Soul quietly looked at the place where Zheng Ya had just stood. In his eyes, there was no anger, no sense of revenge fulfilled — only sorrow.
It seemed Zheng Ya had been correct.
He truly had fallen in love with her.
But as the Earth Soul dissipated, that love vanished with it.
"Thank you."
An extremely weak voice came from behind.
Ye Yu turned his head in disbelief and saw that Yue Ziwei had not yet completely died.
But his soul-form was nearly transparent. Even immortals and gods could not save him.
Ye Yu asked in confusion, "What did you just say?"
Yue Ziwei replied weakly, "I said thank you. Actually, I also truly loved Zheng Ya. Whether I could step into the God Realm did not matter. My greatest dream was that after Nie Chu died, I could remain by Zheng Ya’s side forever."
"Now, although we cannot live together, being able to die in the same place counts as dying together. Is that not another kind of companionship?"
As soon as the words fell, Yue Ziwei’s soul scattered completely.
In the next instant, the system’s voice sounded within Ye Yu’s mind.
