Chapter 2800: A Kiss

Chapter 2800: Bo Yi Ge

"Ye Chen."

"Hong Chen, Liu Dao."

"Ruo Xi."

In the desolate spatial black hole, calls echoed one after another from the Zhun Di of the myriad heavens. They walked along, shouting as they went, and not only them—their manifested clones were shouting too.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

The black hole was pitch-black, with nothing visible: no sign of Ye Chen, no sign of Hong Chen or Liu Dao, and as for Ruo Xi, she was nowhere to be seen. It was as if the four of them had vanished from the world.

However, their search was not entirely fruitless.

Though they hadn't found Ye Chen and the others, they did encounter Mo Qin. He was staggering unsteadily, his injuries not yet healed—it seemed he had been wounded too severely, with blood constantly dripping from the corners of his mouth.

"How did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Sheng Zun sighed, then offered a medicinal pill.

Jian Zun glanced over, his expression seeming to say that anyone in Mo Qin's position would have fared the same. Even a half-step Dacheng Sheng Ti couldn't withstand it, so anyone else would be out of luck.

"Who did this?"

Dong Huang Tai Xin asked tentatively.

"Ruo Xi."

"So it really was her."

"She's incredibly strong."

Jian Zun gave a self-deprecating smile, still feeling a lingering sense of dread. Compared to that young girl, he, the Wu Tian Jian Zun, seemed like he was just playing around. He couldn't even block that single layer of halo—if she had really attacked, a single slap could send him straight to the gates of the underworld. And that was a conservative estimate.

"Keep searching."

The group of Zhun Di took a deep breath and scattered once more.

Jian Zun joined in, coordinating the search.

During this time, he inquired about the affairs of the myriad heavens and finally understood the situation. No wonder the black hole had suddenly filled with heavenly demons and monsters—he got it now.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen moved like a divine ray of light.

As he traveled through a section of the black hole, he suddenly stopped, able to peer through the spatial black hole barrier to see the starry sky of the myriad heavens. The black hole they had been in was probably in the domain of myriad realms, and it had been a long time since he had seen such a vast expanse of stars.

Now that he saw it, everything in sight was a mess: lightning tore through the void, yin fog swirled, flames raged, and spatial rifts abounded. The starry sky of the myriad heavens in his memory wasn't like this at all—why was it all in such disarray?

As he observed, he invoked the Heavenly Dao.

Once he entered the starry sky, his brows furrowed immediately. He frowned as he scanned in all directions, not because of any battle, but because the invisible order of the universe was in complete chaos.

"You're back."

A voice came from the other side of the starry sky.

Looking closely, it was the Hun Dun Ti, who happened to be in this patch of starry sky and had caught Ye Chen's aura.

But even faster than the Hun Dun Ti was Ji Ning Shuang. In a dream that spanned a thousand ages, she manifested at Ye Chen's side, not in women's attire, but dressed as a man.

"How could this be?"

Ye Chen asked hurriedly, seeking a precise answer.

"Strange occurrences have been frequent since five years ago."

Ji Ning Shuang spoke softly, transmitting a divine sense that shared with Ye Chen all the events that had transpired in the myriad heavens over the past few years, along with the bizarre scenes.

As Ye Chen read it, his brows furrowed once more, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. He had been relentlessly pursuing and killing heavenly demons and E Mo in the black hole, only emerging once during that time, and he had no idea so many upheavals had occurred in the myriad heavens.

"What about Ruo Xi?"

The Hun Dun Ti arrived and asked.

Hearing that name, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Five years ago, the very year he left, he had taken Ruo Xi with him. From that day onward, chaos had erupted frequently in the myriad heavens. Calculating the exact timing, every time Ruo Xi grew a year older, some anomaly occurred in the myriad heavens.

"Could it really be related to her?"

Ye Chen murmured to himself, unable to fathom the reason. How could Ruo Xi's growth affect the order of the myriad heavens? Or was it that Ruo Xi herself was connected to that order?

The Hun Dun Ti and Ji Ning Shuang stood on either side of him, waiting for his response. The earlier disturbances had been massive, shaking the entire myriad heavens, and many of the strongest peaks had already entered the black hole to search.

"Still in the black hole."

Ye Chen replied, activating his Wheel of Reincarnation Eye.

"Come here, give me a kiss."

Before leaving, this guy couldn't resist being playful. He cupped Ji Ning Shuang's face and planted a firm kiss, then turned and vanished, re-entering the spatial black hole.

The Hun Dun Ti let out a dry laugh. The tenth emperor of Great Chu had a heart as big as can be— even with the myriad heavens in turmoil, he still had the mood to flirt with his wife. How could he be so outstanding?

At Ji Ning Shuang's side, she only reacted then, her cheeks instantly flushing red. It was so sudden—having a lively husband like this was full of surprises everywhere.

Re-entering the black hole, Ye Chen picked up his speed.

With the Ling Xiao Treasure Hall guiding him, his direction was clear.

Along the way, he sensed that hidden in the darkness were many heavenly demons and E Mo, but he had no time to deal with them—finding little Ruo Xi was the top priority.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

From some unknown moment, the banging sounds started again.

Not just in the black hole—the entire starry sky of the myriad heavens shook once more. Every bang caused the starry sky to tremble, shattering countless stars, collapsing numerous star domains, and sending many people tumbling to the ground.

That's right, Ruo Xi had moved again. She had been standing like a statue in a patch of black hole, but for some reason, she started walking once more, her movements stiff and mechanical, like a walking corpse with no purpose or direction.

Because she moved, and because of those banging sounds, the strongest peaks in the black hole now had a direction, converging from all sides of the darkness toward the source of the noise.

If anyone was closest, it would be Hong Chen and Liu Dao.

Hong Chen moved first, with Liu Dao following a second later, like a divine ray and an immortal light, adding two brilliant colors to the endless darkness.

"We're getting closer; I can sense her aura."

"What immense pressure."

The Yan Luo and the nine great divine generals gathered from both sides, moving swiftly amid wind, thunder, and lightning. They had only just caught the aura, with no idea how far away it still was.

Along the way, more and more strongest peaks arrived: the four peak Jian Xiu, Sheng Zun, Di Ji, Dong Huang Tai Xin, Tun Tian Mo Zun, and Zao Hua Shen Wang—all sensed that aura and were shocked by it.

"I say, aren't those two flying over there?"

Chu Jiang Wang suddenly spoke, narrowing his eyes.

"It seems like it."

The eighth divine general activated his divine sense eye and could vaguely make it out.

If they could see it, the other Zhun Di could too. Indeed, there were two figures, not flying upright but tumbling sideways—more accurately, flipping horizontally, as if they had been struck.

"Hong Chen?"

"Liu Dao?"

In that instant, all the strongest peaks stopped in unison, finally recognizing the two. Wasn't it Hong Chen and Liu Dao? They had flown past overhead so fast, like two streaks of light—one covered in blood, the other with blood-drenched bones. Both were horribly wounded, their divine bodies cracked open.

"What's that over there?"

Zao Hua Shen Wang turned his gaze to another side.

Hearing this, most of the Zhun Di looked over and saw a thread of light—or more precisely, a layer of halo—gradually becoming clearer under their scrutiny, spreading toward them at incredible speed, causing the black hole to rumble as it advanced.

"Don't look; get out of the way!"

Piao Miao Lao Dao shouted and fled.

No need for him to say it; the Zhun Di were already retreating.

But unfortunately, none of them escaped. It wasn't that they weren't fast enough—the halo crossed them in an instant, sweeping horizontally across.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

What followed was quite a spectacle.

The strongest peaks of the myriad heavens were sent flying everywhere by the halo, one after another, with no one spared. Even those who arrived later, like Yu Hua Xian Wang, Tai Shang Lao Jun, and Yuan Shen Tian Zun, were hit head-on. Some spat blood, some had their divine bodies shatter, and some suffered severe damage to their primordial spirits. There was no worst case, only worse—the weaker ones, like the eighth Yan Luo and the ninth divine general, nearly exploded on the spot.

"Her footsteps have stopped again."

On the other side of the black hole, Ye Chen furrowed his brow, as the banging sounds had ceased, likely meaning Ruo Xi was standing still in that patch of black hole, lost in thought.

"I say, isn't someone flying over?"

The Hun Dun Huo suddenly leaped out of its small world.

"Don't tell me, but yeah, it is."

The Hun Dun Ding grew restless and came out too.

"Hong Chen, Liu Dao."

Ye Chen's gaze was sharp, seeing them clearly.

Immediately, he halted and raised his hands, using his left to block Hong Chen and his right to push Liu Dao—he had to stop them; they were moving too recklessly.

Awkwardly, he didn't manage to block them. Hong Chen and Liu Dao collided with him, sending him flying—not because he wasn't strong enough, but because the hidden force on them was terrifyingly powerful.

"Stop for me!"

A thousand zhang away, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and forcibly came to a halt.

"Boss, there's more!"

The Hun Dun Ding called out.

But its warning came too late.

Bang!

No sooner had the words left its mouth than Ye Chen was sent flying again.

This time, it was Zao Hua Shen Wang who hit him.

"You just popped out of nowhere."

Bang!

"Damn."

Bang!

"I'm going."

Bang!

What followed was even more spectacular than before.

The tenth emperor of Great Chu, after being knocked over, never managed to steady himself. It was as if every time he got his footing, he was knocked down again—one flying figure after another, all strongest peaks.

These didn't matter much, but the key was that they all hit him precisely, one after another, as if he were a moving target expertly positioning himself. He didn't miss a single one—they all collided with him. It wasn't their fault; they wanted to stop, but the halo was too overpowering—they couldn't.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Various blood lights flashed frequently.

Ye Chen was knocked around badly, his domineering Sheng Ti cracking repeatedly, spitting blood impressively, leaving him dazed.

The strongest peaks were in even worse shape than him. How tough was the Huang Gu Sheng Ti? Colliding with it was like hitting a steel plate—their already cracked divine bodies were shattered even more thoroughly.

It was unclear when they finally stopped.

Looking at that patch of black hole, the figures were either staggering or stumbling, while the rest knelt on the ground, coughing up blood.

"Oh, my head's spinning."

Chu Jiang Wang got up, then clutched his head and squatted down again. His dizziness was justified—half his skull had exploded. No wonder; his head had slammed into Ye Chen's forehead, and how hard was a Sheng Ti's head?

"Actually, you didn't have to come in."

Ye Chen leaned on the great ding with one hand and clutched his waist with the other, still coughing blood, his eyes seeing stars. Though his Huang Gu Sheng Ti was tough, it had been knocked nearly to pieces.

To be fair, he wasn't wrong—if they hadn't come in, he wouldn't have been knocked around. How could hundreds or thousands of people hit so accurately?

In this trip to the black hole, he had slaughtered so many heavenly demons and E Mo without a scratch, yet he ended up half-crippled from that halo and his own people.
