You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

Chapter 838 - 377: Comprehending the Void, Ascending to Divinity with One Sword (Part 2)

"Quickly awaken the Empress, to welcome back the Ninth and Tenth Profound Monarchs!"

The First Profound Monarch, Sihui, quickly flipped through the "Eclipse Scripture," attempting to find the true names of the Ninth and Tenth Profound Monarchs, only to see blood-written characters emerge on the blank pages of the scripture:

"The Nameless One, is the Sun Slayer."

The Second Profound Monarch, Zangguan, forcefully peered into the Celestial Secret, hoping to devour the Dark Sun Illusion, but suffered a backlash as the sun core fragments within his chest began to melt, and he roared out the omen he had obtained: "The Divine Sword hangs in the air, Infinite Tai Chi, the Tenth Profound Monarch is not the Golden Crow, but the Human Race!"

The Third Profound Monarch, Jian Hui, led the Nether Feather Guard to seal off the Zichen Celestial Palace, arriving at the place where the Empress slept, and swung his blade with all his might towards the Molten Gold Coffin, only to have the red gold bone hand reach out from within the coffin and forcibly crush Jian Hui’s Divine Weapon of Solar Eclipse Blade.

The Fourth Profound Monarch, Tieming, sang the Soul-Calming Song in an attempt to soothe, but his song was interrupted by the deep crowing emanating from the coffin, causing his throat to crack in an instant.

The Fifth Profound Monarch, Fenhe, gathered the Forbidden Army in formation, only to see the Feather Race warriors in the army kneeling one after another, calling towards the coffin: "Welcome... Nether Emperor!"

The Sixth Profound Monarch, Caiming, pierced the coffin with the Sun Crown Needle, yet the thread of fate showed: "Neither alive nor dead, neither existent nor extinguished."

The Seventh Profound Monarch, Xiwu, suddenly witnessed the Sun Dial Lamp spontaneously combust in his hands, reflecting a pair of crimson crow eyes, indifferently saying: "The Ten Suns return to their positions, the Feather Race shall re-emerge in the mortal world, united under the universe."

The Eighth Profound Monarch, Jin Si, watched in horror as his mask shattered, golden liquid reversed into sacrificial text, and exclaimed: "I sensed our eldest brother’s aura... but He didn’t undergo transformation into the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow..."

The eight Profound Monarchs were precisely eight of the nine suns shot down in ancient times by descendants.

Though retaining memories from their previous lives, their minds and wills had long been twisted by the death of Empress Yuzhu and the Path of Darkness, their spirits fallen into the demonic path.

Within the Zichen Celestial Palace, Empress Yuzhu slowly rose from a golden coffin, red gold bones giving rise to flesh and blood, weaving into a flawless pure white Divine Body.

Then, the imperial robe of profound purple surged like the night, the twelve tassels on the Solar Crown trembling with a low hum.

She raised her eyes to the Netherworld Sky—where ten dark suns, like blood-stained pupils, stared coldly at her.

The Empress’s fingertips lightly brushed the crown, her voice filled with enchanting allure slowly murmuring: "The power is not yet in place... but the Ten Suns have arrived, we can no longer wait."

Her gaze swept over the eight Profound Monarchs below the steps, her voice as cold as the abyss of the Nine Netherworld: "Sihui, Fenhe, Jin Si—you three, set off immediately."

"The Ninth Profound Monarch must return, the Crown Prince Golden Crow must be captured alive... as for the ’Laws Destruction Man’..."

"If his soul cannot be brought back, then bring back my arrow."

"Yes!"

In the depths of the dark Nether Hall, Profound Monarch Sihui held the "Eclipse Scripture," his black robe fluttering with no wind, pale fingertips tracing the yellowed ancient pages, chanting forbidden incantations.

"Ninth Profound Monarch—’Jin Yu’!"

As the true name was spoken, the void trembled, and the bronze lamps on the four walls of the Nether Hall simultaneously extinguished, leaving only a ghostly blue flame rising from the "Eclipse Scripture," transforming into a broken illusion of the Nether Phoenix, screaming as it returned to its place!

"Jin Si has arrived, the Golden Crow shall fall!"

—Ninth Profound Monarch, Jin Si, instantly returned to position!

Far in the distance, seemingly due to the summoning of Profound Monarch Sihui, Ye Qingzhou felt disturbances from behind, turning around to see the Crown Prince Golden Crow holding a dark gold flame—the Golden Crow’s power origin.

Clearly, this mass of Great Sun Golden Flame was extracted by the Crown Prince Golden Crow from the Godslayer Armor, a remnant of His once tenth sibling.

"The call of origin, it seems the Nether Emperor has locked onto us."

"Oh, should we escape? If we flee now, there’s still time."

Ye Qingzhou had just broken through to the Martial God Realm, his Divine Spirit as sharp as an Unparalleled Divine Weapon, his conversation tinged with undisguised Killing Intent.

"Escape?"

The Crown Prince Golden Crow held tight to the ’Old Tenth’ wanting to fly away, his tone equally filled with Killing Intent: "This battle, I’ve long looked forward to, it’s what I’ve been longing for!"

"In that case, I’ll go mad with you for once."

Ye Qingzhou’s demeanor was calm: "After all, I’m already a dead man, dying once more wouldn’t matter."

At the Land of Returning Ruins, the two awaited quietly.

Soon, three powerful presences steadily approached.

The Crown Prince Golden Crow glanced at Ye Qingzhou: "Be careful not to be shattered into pieces, after all, you are my named disciple."

"You too, the grace of granting the sword, I remember deeply, consider this as returning the favor."

"Hahaha~"

The Crown Prince Golden Crow laughed loudly, "Then let’s fight, I have come back from the long river of time for this very day! What I once lost, I will seize back with my own hands!"

With a long roar, the Crown Prince Golden Crow charged at the incoming foes.

The setting sun was like blood, clouds rolling.

The Crown Prince Golden Crow stood atop the sky dome, his red gold eyes gazing down at the Nether Feather Forbidden Army arrayed below, a mocking arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Just with these remnants and defeated soldiers, do you think you can stop me?"

Profound Monarch Fenhe wielded the battle halberd, his black armor covered his face, only his eyes burned with a cold and eerie nether fire.

With a swing of his battle halberd, the Eclipse Array activated instantly, and the celestial light abruptly dimmed, as if even the sun was being swallowed!

However...

The Crown Prince Golden Crow merely lifted his hand gently, a wisp of True Yang Flame igniting at his fingertips.

"Burn."

With a single word, a sea of fire rose to the sky!

The black feather battle armor of the Nether Feather Forbidden Army crumbled like ash the moment it touched the flames, and the entire army was reduced to flying embers in the blink of an eye!

Fenhe’s battle halberd cracked, his black armor melted, he staggered back, incredulously roaring: "Impossible... How can the Great Sun Golden Flame be this powerful?!"

The Crown Prince Golden Crow laughed coldly, a magnificent great sun illusion appeared behind him, then the great sun collapsed and vanished, replaced by an abyssal Void Black Hole.

Finally, the blazing sun transformed into a Solar Crown, allowing the Crown Prince Golden Crow’s cultivation to surpass the limits of a Celestial King Martial God, ascending to the Emperor Realm.

"Now, I am no longer a ’Crown Prince’."

"But rather—the new Great Emperor of the Feather Race!"

Meanwhile, Ye Qingzhou ascended to the sky to transform into a dragon, his white robes fluttering, holding a Laws Destruction Golden Arrow entwined with Chaos Sword Qi, facing off against Jin Si.

Nether fire surged around Jin Si, his voice hoarse like rusted iron grinding:

"Hand over the golden arrow, and I may allow you to enter the Netherworld as a general, commanding the Yin Soldiers!"

Ye Qingzhou’s eyes flowed with Sword Intent, he said lightly: "The Nether Hall of the Netherworld? I don’t even regard the Void Divine Dynasty seriously, let alone a mere Ghost Realm?"

Jin Si, enraged, laughed instead, forming seals with his hands, the nether fire transforming into thousands of ghostly hands, reaching towards Ye Qingzhou in a menacing wave!

"Stubborn and unenlightened! Then be—scattered to the winds and obliterated!"

Ye Qingzhou drew a line with his sword point, the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow suddenly disassembled, transforming into countless golden runes encircling him.

"Did you think this arrow is still your ’Divine Artifact’?"

"Its name now is—’Void’!"

The golden talisman secret texts on the arrow continually rearranged, eventually condensing into a Chaos Longsword in Ye Qingzhou’s palm, intertwining death and vitality, darkness and light, this had clearly been refined by Ye Qingzhou into his Dao-Bearing Artifact.

As Ye Qingzhou swung his arm, the sword’s edge slashed down fiercely.

Clang~

Jin Si’s nether fire body was cleaved by the sword, he was horrified to find his origin actually dissipating!

"Impossible... Is this... the Power of the Void?!"

Ye Qingzhou’s gaze was icy: "Did you intend to use the golden arrow to transform the Golden Crow, achieving ’Ten Sun Soaring in the Air’?"

"Unfortunately, what it seeks now is to sever the ’Celestial Destiny’ upon the Nether Emperor!"

Just as Jin Si was about to be obliterated, a rift suddenly appeared in the sky—

Eight black suns slowly emerged, and within each black sun, sat a figure adorned with a Feather Robe and Star Crown.

"Profound Monarch... return to your place!"

A deep voice echoed across the Three Realms, the Crown Prince Golden Crow’s Solar Crown sign was suppressed, its light dimmed, and even the Golden Crow Origin in his hand could not be held, escaping and flying away!

Ye Qingzhou looked up at where Crown Prince Wu, Jin Si, had disappeared, battle intent boiling in his eyes.

"Finally, have you arrived?"

The Laws Destruction Golden Arrow in Ye Qingzhou’s hands transformed into a black and a white sword, intertwining, the powers of Void and Pure Yang fused, transforming into a brilliant sword light that pierced through heaven and earth—

"With this sword, sever the Feather Race’s destiny, end the Netherworld’s cycle!"

"This sword, founded on the Divine Feather Celestial Serpent Slash, carries the Path of Life and Death and Yin Yang, named ’Void Illuminating the Nether’, I invite the Nether Emperor to witness!"

At the pinnacle of the cloud sea, the Nether Emperor...or rather, Empress Yuzhu, her Purple Gold Feather Robe rustled in the wind, eight fractured Sun Core Fragments floating in her palm.

These were origins she had seized after the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow exterminated the Eight Great Golden Crows, Profound Yin True Flame flowed around her, refining the ninth missing Sun Essence.

"Once I merge the ten sun essences..."

The Empress’s fingertips revealed dark star orbits: "This realm will forever fall into eternal night."
