Chapter 1200 - Chapter 1200 Chapter 1204 Never Met Before

Chapter 1200: Chapter 1204: Never Met Before Chapter 1200: Chapter 1204: Never Met Before Setting foot in Tian Shu God City means there is no turning back.

Zhu Minglang stood on the hillside where Zhu Heavenly Officer resided, silently waiting for each person who shared his will.

On the long Worship Boulevard, each weary figure looked like a splash-ink painting; amidst the crowd, they were but trivial splatters of ink, a scene that had repeated itself in the God Manor of Tian Shu for countless years.

Yet Zhu Minglang knew that once the fury in their hearts was ignited, they would fear death no more.

Time was passing, and Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but look back, towards the Xuange Country Capital.

At this moment, the Asura Divine Army and the Army of Ascetic Monks had already rolled into the capital, leaving only two behind, sharing one body.

Without resorting to such measures, all the deities who came to assassinate Hua Chou would have been stopped outside the God Pagoda Forest.

What Zhu Minglang could do now was to rid himself of any worries.

Advance unwaveringly!

…

Mount Xia, Colorful Pavilion, myriad household lights, the maple forest running through the entire city…

The Xuange Country Capital has always been a city of beauty, it’s just a pity that its deities never cherished it.

Nan Lingsha shook her head at the world in her painting; if such a beautiful realm still couldn’t escape the spread of war, crushed under iron hooves, then what was the point of the existence of deities?

She looked serenely at the huge army in the painting, which, to her, was no different from dirty crawling insects, only bringing her a deep sense of disgust.

Nan Lingsha spared no pity; she obliterated the Asura Divine Army, and also those Ascetic Monks engulfed in agony.

The Xuange Country Capital preserved its original tranquillity and harmony. What was destroyed was merely her most satisfactory and outstanding masterpiece; people always say that paintings are everlasting art, that they can exist for thousands of years after everything else has perished.

But compared to the beauty of that painting, Nan Lingsha wished more for the God City to endure, so that thousands, tens of thousands of years later, people arriving here could still be astonished by her creation!

So even if it was her most beloved masterpiece, she hoped that all that was destroyed was just the painting.

Finally, someone tiredly crawled out of her painting.

Nan Lingsha used the Divine Beast within the painting to defeat them.

She was weary, fending off the armies had drained her of a great deal of Divine Power.

She wanted to hold on a little longer, but sleepiness overcame her, and she saw a dense dreamscape appear before her, in which there was a flower mirroring a dream; Nan Lingsha saw herself walking out from within the dream, holding a cute rabbit in her arms.

She had a bright smile on her cheeks, unlike her usual aloofness, as if every day of hers was filled with bright sunlight, and eternal darkness had never cast a shred of gloom or displeasure upon her.

“Sister, Sister~”

She ran over lightly, bumping into her embrace, like a very small porcelain doll.

They were but an hour or two apart, yet she always seemed like she would never grow up.

Nan Lingsha reached out to hug her, but she turned into colorful ink shadows, and in the end Nan Lingsha was only left hugging her own shoulders, before her was still a dream mirror shrouded in mist, and there was no sound at all, utter silence.

“Am I deceiving myself?”

“How could that be? I have never left you.”

The most familiar, yet the most estranged.

The closest, but never having met.

It’s only in dreams that Nan Lingsha could see another version of herself.

These days, Nan Lingsha kept having the same dream where she was trapped behind the divine temple in the spring mountain, her soul shattered, yet this soul wasn’t her own.

She awoke in the cavern spring, with a burned self-portrait by her side. Since then, she would no longer inexplicably suffer from fatigue, no longer wake up as if from sleepwalking in an unknown place, nor would she walk the streets in clothes she didn’t particularly like…

Opening and closing her eyes, there would be no more confusion, only an overwhelming loneliness.

She kept changing her place of residence, unable to capture her soul’s essence in even the most beautiful scenery. Her body felt like a restless ghost, unable to find a place to settle, thus wandering forever and ever.

Why are dreams so unbearably long, longer than a lifetime? Nan Lingsha has been trapped in such lengthy dreams more than once, living through lifetimes that fail to spark the slightest interest in her…

…

Just in time, she recalled the Chi Dragon, saving its life from a precarious fate.

Nan Yuso looked at the person in front of her, her eyes cold as ice.

“Sister Autumn Lu, let me be the one to execute her. After all, we were friends once,” Autumn Gift said to her sister, Autumn Lu.

“Sure, but I have to see her soul scatter to the winds myself. It’s an order from the Heavenly Officer; we must have proof whether dead or alive, and there can be no mistakes,” Autumn Lu nodded, her smile laced with cruelty.

“Make it quick, we’re in a hurry to report back,” the Evil Sword Sect’s Green Leader said.

Nan Yuso stepped back and found that she was against the cold Divine Spring. The chilly water trickled down from the Colored Sand Divine Spring Mountain, soaking her patterned cloth shoes, submerging her ankles and sending bone-chilling cold through her body.

“Hmph, no need for you to act–I find you repulsive!” Nan Yuso stared at Autumn Gift as he approached her.

As her words fell, the Fire Kirin Dragon fiercely spewed flames onto the ground in front of her. The flames bloomed like angry red lotuses, spreading rapidly around Nan Lingsha’s body.

Extreme in their stunning beauty, and with her at the center, the scene was one of devastating beauty. Seemingly without pain, she stood silently awaiting the pure flames to engulf her. Her body could twist, could become ugly, could turn to ashes, but the Fire of Red Lotus will be her new flesh and bones, her soul dispersing with the fiery fuzz into the desolate oblivion…

“Hong!!”

Suddenly, a dragon’s cry as sharp as lightning violently split the dead silence of this world!

The piercing call instantly made Autumn Lu, Nangong Swordsman Xi Ji, and the Green Leader all cover their ears, protecting themselves with their divine sense.

Nan Yuso looked back in surprise, only to see a Divine Bird Dragon with colorful feathers spreading its wings and flying from behind the Colored Sand Divine Spring Mountain. Its feathers were vivid and brilliant, hanging like massive rainbows against the night sky, striking awe and wonder.

And the light emitted from it, it bore an ancient and sacred aura, truly a Heavenly Dragon born of the God Demon lineage!

“A Kunpeng Divine Dragon??”

“Didn’t they say she only had one Ancestral Dragon left, the Nine You Dragon?” Autumn Lu turned her head, challenging her sister, Autumn Gift.

Autumn Gift did not respond; at this moment, she had already silently retreated several steps back.

The Rainbow Vault Dragon possessed overwhelming momentum. As it flew in, the entirety of Divine Spring Mountain seemed to have been pierced by numerous rainbow-colored, sharp swords. It landed before Nan Yu Suo and, with its Kunpeng claws, firmly pressed down on the Fire of Red Lotus, preventing the flames from climbing onto Nan Yuso’s body.

Nan Yu Suo herself was stunned.

Wasn’t this dragon the one she had shown mercy to, the dying dragon whose soul she hadn’t taken??

In such a short amount of time, it had healed.

And its soul seemed even stronger. The power it was demonstrating right now forced Autumn Lu, Xi Ji, and the Green Leader to retreat.

Previously, it had always been soaking in the spring fluid. Nan Yu Suo had completely failed to notice the extraordinariness of this Rainbow Vault Dragon!

To have such a powerful Kirin Dragon with Kunpeng bloodline, Zhu Minglang hadn’t taken it with him but had intentionally left it here…

Was it because he was worried something unexpected might happen to her??

Hmph, seeing Zhu Minglang’s true sincerity, she forgave him for his previous disrespect towards her!

In fact, Nan Yu Suo wasn’t using the Fire of Red Lotus to burn herself to ashes; she was performing the Soul Burn Sacrifice. Even though her soul would disappear, at least she could preserve this body, to save another soul.

But the appearance of the Rainbow Vault Dragon meant she didn’t need to do this anymore.

The strength of the Rainbow Vault Dragon was formidable. After it glided down, it displayed the fierceness and rage of a divine bird. With a claw strike towards an enemy, there would be sharp spatial hooks appearing through the skies and ground!

The first to be heavily injured was none other than Nangong Swordsman Xi Ji.

Nangong Swordsman Xi Ji and the Green Leader had already exhausted their strength fighting against a few of Nan Yuso’s Ancestral Dragons, and the only reason they dared to press on was because of Autumn Lu, the God’s Head of Tianxuan.

However, Autumn Lu was precisely the main target of the Rainbow Vault Dragon’s attacks. Its Vault Rainbow Divine Feathers were like countless divine weapons. Sometimes they struck at Autumn Lu like sky-piercing spears, sometimes like a torrential rain of feathers, densely packed and shooting towards her.

Autumn Lu’s garments were scorched red. Angrily, she unleashed an ancient technique. Instantly, Demon God Vines burst from the ground, like an ageless cosmic Heavenly Demon with a hundred tentacles, viciously entwining towards the Rainbow Vault Dragon!

These God Demon vines were covered in sticky fluids. When they fully expanded, they were like a giant mouth capable of swallowing the sky, with the vines acting as the teeth and tongue of this maw!

The Rainbow Vault Dragon showed no fear and dived down in a spiral manner. A huge swirl of light could be seen stirring around it, followed by an explosion of the swirl right in the center of the God Demon Vines. Suddenly, the area was filled with destructive, colorful lights, like stars being annihilated, shooting out intensely beautiful meteor flame fragments. The brilliance erupted in the starry sky, making the dark dome beautiful and shocking!

Autumn Lu’s God Demon Vines were obliterated.

She was blasted away by the force, with even more wounds on her body, and even her face was blasted somewhat rotten.

Nangong Swordsman Xi Ji and the Green Leader fled to an even further place. Realizing the turn of events was dire, they attempted to leave, but the Rainbow Vault Dragon extended its Sky Dome claw!

One claw for each, just like an eagle capturing a cunning rabbit on the ground!

The claw tips penetrated their bodies. No matter how strong their cultivation was, they could not resist the Kunpeng Vajra Claw.

Their bodies were both impaled and ended up no different from wild rabbits, with their torsos torn apart!!

The Rainbow Vault Dragon was inherently untamable and had not a shred of sympathy for humans.

Their mangled bodies lay discarded on the ground.

Autumn Lu witnessed this scene, her eyes now filled with terror.

However, she was after all the strongest among them; she used some divine thorns to fend off the assault of the Rainbow Vault Dragon, and folded a few leaves into a maple leaf bird.

The Xuange God had instructed that if anything went wrong here, they must inform her immediately.

Autumn Lu felt that she might be able to hold her own against the Rainbow Vault Dragon for a while, but she had to relay the unforeseen development to the Xuange God!

However, just as the maple leaf bird she created flew up into the air, someone suddenly knocked it down with a flick of their fingers, a bird made of leaves that would otherwise go undetected by others.

The maple leaf bird turned into several scraps of rotten leaves.

This meant that even seeking assistance was now beyond Autumn Lu’s reach.

She turned her head to look at the woman behind her; her eyes immediately filled with rage and disbelief!

“Autumn Gift, have you lost your mind!” Autumn Lu cursed.

“Ever since we were sensible, you’ve always been one step ahead of me. If you really considered me your sister, you should clearly know what I want!!” Autumn Gift held several Killing Leaves in her hand, each leaf imbued with her rage and many years of resentment!

“It’s just a damned man, I’ll hand him over to you, I swear on my soul, that Mr. Su is yours!”

“Heh, you really don’t know what I want.” Having said that, Autumn Gift already threw the leaves charged with the intent to kill.

As soon as the leaves flew out, the maple leaves all over the city seemed to be swept up by a demonic wind, flying towards Autumn Lu!

Autumn Lu was already facing the ferocious Rainbow Vault Dragon, and completely powerless against Autumn Gift’s attack!

Countless maple leaves flew, each one grazing over Autumn Lu’s body, a sensation akin to the execution by dismemberment!

“You dying, that’s what I truly desire!”

Autumn Gift let out all the emotions within her heart. Even when only a skeleton was left of Autumn Lu, the Killing Leaves still relentlessly chased after her sister!

The flames were bright red, the maple leaves were bright red, and the blood was even brighter red…

Nan Yuso watched Autumn Gift intently. Despite having lived together like sisters for a long time, Nan Yuso had never become truly close to Autumn Gift, because there was always something off-putting about her.

Nan Yuso didn’t know what it was before, but now it was clear.

The ruthless cruelty of being able to kill even one’s own kin!

Autumn Gift’s actions were not merely from being turned against us; she genuinely wanted Autumn Lu to die!

It was right to feel that she was not someone to get close to.

Nan Yuso also had a sister, but she believed that no matter what her own sister did to her, she would never harm her in such a way…

They were no longer on the same path.

“She’s finally dead, she’s finally dead, we were once inseparable, we once vowed never to betray each other… but I still desired so much to kill her, and I’ve done it, I hate her!!!!!” Autumn Gift also descended into madness, spewing these emotions out to Nan Yuso.

To execute her own sister in such a manner, it was inevitable that she would cultivate a Heart Demon on her path ahead.

“I am your exact opposite; I too have a sister. She and I, have never met…” Nan Yuso slowly said, and as she spoke these words, it seemed she recalled the face and temperament of that sister, involuntarily smiling, although she was tired and haggard, she still smiled brilliantly–she too had achieved her goal.

Never having met, yet she meant everything to her.
