Chapter 868: Chapter 38: Dark God Domain 2
He sensed that Jiang Yuning seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, so he hurriedly said: "Don’t talk anymore, you rest, I will nourish your soul with Soul Path Vast Qi."
"No need, husband, I know my own condition, and my conscious time is just that long, I will ultimately leave before you. If you see me again in the future, then that person will definitely not be me, but a copy made from my Three Souls... She will be harmful to you. Husband, don’t stop me, let me finish, because if I don’t speak now, there will be no chance to say it later. When I forget everything, it will be the sorrow of that plane."
"Ning’er, you—"
Zhou Yan felt a deep sorrow in his heart, knowing that Jiang Yuning was speaking the truth, but now he couldn’t see such a result.
Having rescued the Holy Daughter, but it’s really already too late.
If, if at the beginning, at the Yuan Ci Secret Realm, pursued the Holy Daughter’s tracks, and then left that region, perhaps now it would have been a different outcome.
However, now it’s impossible to go back to the past, the Realm has briefly approached the Immortal, Zhou Yan already understands, even if it is the Time Rules, it is only an energy form returning to the past, that changed soul will not change again.
The soul is eternal, even if it returns to the past, it is merely like a broken mirror being restored, what returns is only the matter, not life.
No matter how lofty and mighty, no matter how invincible through all ages, Zhou Yan has a feeling of powerlessness at this moment, a deep feeling of powerlessness.
This is the powerlessness towards Fate.
Zhou Yan has grasped certain Tao of Fate, and understands more the helplessness of fate being uncontrollable.
"Husband, Ning’er... is very happy. At the moment of losing the Three Souls, Ning’er thought she would have no future, no happiness ever again. Husband, thank you."
Jiang Yuning leaned in Zhou Yan’s embrace, and her Seven Spirits also began to gradually shatter, she was inherently incomplete, and encountered great danger. If she hadn’t left that hell of the Jiang family, she could have lived a few more days.
Once she left, and experienced the pressure of Flame Throne breaking the sky, her soul body that was already swaying in the storm finally couldn’t withstand.
"Ning’er, I was wrong, I was wrong from the start. At that time, my power wasn’t strong, yet you were by my side. Now the power is strong, yet you have to leave. If I had known to cherish at that time, to give up the so-called ’status’ disparity, there wouldn’t have been this torment now. I’ve spent a lifetime to understand, only to realize, happiness isn’t about matching statuses, it’s not about having enough power to guard, but it’s about cherishing each moment... but unfortunately, when understanding some things, it’s always filled with sorrow and powerlessness."
Zhou Yan’s voice was bitter, his complexion full of sorrow.
His body suffered damage that is actually very severe, the backlash from the Demon Heart hit more fiercely than ever before.
Combat Power supplemented by Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy could only reach Sword God Sixth Transition, but the Immortal Energy from the Devouring Throne and the endless soul power within the ring devoured a life-saving white hair to prevent death, elevating the power to the Nine Heavens Sword Venerate level, this momentary strength brought extremely fierce consequences.
Yet now, being able to be with the Holy Daughter even if only for a moment, Zhou Yan feels life is not regrettable.
Many things in life are so powerless.
Some expected things cannot necessarily be accomplished, like meeting Goddess Mu Qingyan again, seeing daughters Yanyan and Sisi again, these already dare not be imagined.
To be happy for a moment, then enjoy it for that moment.
Safeguarding the happiness one can strive for, grasping the opportunities that can be held, that is actually success.
But alas, everything is still a bit late.
"Right and wrong do not matter, at least, we now have no regrets, is that not so?"
Jiang Yuning gently wiped the blood from Zhou Yan’s face with her sleeve, but the blood did not stop at all, the backlash on Zhou Yan’s body was unprecedentedly severe.
Whether he can survive, even Zhou Yan himself doesn’t know.
Otherwise, Zhou Yan would not have fled at the peak moment of combat power.
"Husband, your Soul Slash Supreme Tao, cooperating with the Ancient Evil Heart to live another life, might actually enable you to live on, Ning’er leaves as she must, but husband you must live, your happiness is also the happiness of those other women who love you, Ning’er has no regrets anymore..."
Jiang Yuning spoke softly.
Zhou Yan remained silent, his seven orifices unrestrainedly began to overflow with blood, his eyes already blurred by blood.
But at this moment, from the depths of Zhou Yan’s Soul Sea, Xuanyuan Ancestor’s excited voice transmitted: "Here, this is the Land of Transcendence—Dark Divine Domain, indeed a true ’Immortal Land’! When I once testified to the Immortal, I most desired to enter such a Great Domain, yet never expected, you actually arrived here! Zhou Yan, you are saved, your wife Jiang Yuning is also saved! There is hope, completely hope!"
"Hmm? Ancestor, what are you saying?"
Zhou Yan’s body shook, his entire being suddenly trembled, the annihilated heart as if suddenly igniting a new fire of hope.
"Above the Plane, is the Domain, but the Plane and Domain itself are one, like cities within a country. Sword Burial, True God and other Planes belong to the Fiery Flame Domain. The Fiery Flame Domain almost gathers all cultivators of our Sword Dao system.
But beyond Fiery Flame Domain, there exists an unimaginably powerful and mysterious place, rumored to be the Origin Domain of Ten Thousand Spirits, the ’Dark Divine Domain’, entering which is akin to having one foot in Hongmeng Venerable’s Realm."
"In the Dark Divine Domain, cultivators start from the God Realm, all create their own Original Dao, possessing independent Chaos Sword Body, then achieving Chaos Sword Body Ninety-nine Returns to One Dao, transforming into Dark God Dao.
Comprehending the Dark God Dao is called First-Transformation God. It is no longer confined to Sword Dao, Sword God is a kind of divine being, Sword God is also a divine being.
Above divine beings, titled ’Heavenly Venerate’, ’Venerable’, Sword Venerate is one kind of Venerable, Heavenly Venerate."
In such a true Great Domain as Dark Divine Domain, rules do not exist, but require creating one’s own rules, own domain.
If the Tao is insufficient, the path does not advance.
Create one’s own Supreme Dao, every cultivator in the Great Domain is a Chaos Sword Body, has their own created rules, own Divine Soul core Divine Status, own ’Dark Divine Domain Field’.
There, it is compared whose domain is stronger, can suppress other cultivators’ domains."
"Once there, you will find, the so-called geniuses of the plane under Fiery Flame Domain, are utterly inadequate there."
"To put it this way, now your Eight Great Ancient Sword Bodies have merged into a Chaos Sword Body, equivalent to just passing, but without your own created rules, you can only be... an ordinary Domain Master, fading amidst everyone, you’ll likely spend quite some time unable to shake off the title of a waste, make psychological preparations."
"Compete in the Great Domain, hope in this Great Domain, you can let the title of ’Evil Venerate’ flourish, your demeanor as Evil Venerate inspires respect in me. And I, I have created my own rules, my own soul lock, I will help you lock Jiang Yuning’s soul so it doesn’t disappear, keeping her current state for seven years, if you can’t resolve this in seven years, then there is no way."
Xuanyuan Ancestor thoughtfully transmitted his voice.
