Chapter 1437
1437 Evil God's Atrocities
After Tian Xian finished slaughtering Mo Ru's entire family before his very eyes, Tian Xian took a seat on top of the pile of corpses and calmly gazed at Mo Ru, who had an inhuman expression on his face.
"T-the Heavens- they will not forgive you for your heinous crimes today!" Mo Ru cried as he stared back at Tian Xian.
If glares could kill people, Mo Ru's stares had the potential to slay even gods.
"Perhaps... but I do not seek forgiveness for my actions today-
I only ask for understanding." Tian Xian muttered as he lifted his gaze to stare at the red sky that seemed to be growing darker with every moment.
He then looked at his bloodied hands and sighed, "Even after all this, my anger is not fully satiated. Maybe it will never be satisfied-not even after I slay the Celestial Emperor."
He returned to looking at Mo Ru and continued, "All you had to do was leave my wife alone, but alas..."
"Even if I had refused to do the Celestial Emperor's deed, he would've simply found somebody else to kill her! You should've never offended the Celestial Emperor! This is all your fault!" Mo Ru roared.
"Indeed, I am partially at fault for Xiu Mei's death, but not because I offended the Celestial Emperor." Tian Xian sighed with a self-loathing expression, "I promised to protect her with my life, but I was too weak to even do that, so she perished. I have no excuses."
He suddenly stood up and pointed his sword at Mo Ru and continued, "I don't care how long it'll take. I will find her again after her reincarnation. Even if she doesn't remember me, I will protect her properly this time."
"Reincarnation...? Hah! You've truly gone insane!" Mo Ru sneered.
Tian Xian narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Don't worry, you won't even get the chance to experience reincarnation."
His sword suddenly gushed with immense Enhanced Sword Aura, decapitating Mo Ru. However, since Mo Ru was essentially a god, he would survive even if his entire body was crushed.
Tian Xian naturally knew of this, so he immediately captured Mo Ru's soul and sealed it within the black sword in his grasp.
Upon reaching God Ascension, a cultivator's soul undergoes a profound change, making it challenging for even another God Ascension cultivator to destroy it.
"I don't have the strength to shatter your soul right now, so I will keep you in here until I do." Tian Xian tossed the black sword into his storage ring and silently stood there.
Meanwhile, the sky above Tian Xian had become so dark it looked as though it had been burned black.
"My liege..." Dong Ye appeared beside him with a worried face.
"Go." Tian Xian responded with a single word.
"Yes."
Dong Ye immediately disappeared from the scene.
Once he was alone, Tian Xian glanced at the cruelty he'd done and suddenly fell to his knees.
"Urgh!"
He proceeded to vomit violently, even crying rivers of tears as he emptied his stomach.
His sweat-soaked body trembled nonstop, sending chills throughout his entire being.
"Ahhhhh!" He released a beastly cry a few moments later.
Tian Xian, who had spent decades in resolve and had not felt anything during the process, was suddenly overwhelmed by an immense wave of guilt and disgust over what he had done to Mo Ru's family.
"She definitely wouldn't have approved of my methods, even hate me for what I've done..." he muttered in a low voice.
"Unfortunately, this is the only way for me to remain somewhat sane-the only reason for me to remain in his shitty world without you..."
Tian Xian stood up a moment later and lifted his head to stare at the massive black clouds rumbling above him.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get this over with."
In response to Tian Xian's words, the black clouds suddenly unleashed unfathomably powerful lightning strikes upon him. Hundreds of thick lightning strikes, each powerful enough to cause the world to tremble, smitten Tian Xian's small figure, as if the heavens wanted to erase his existence.
Yet, these lightning strikes were unable to penetrate Tian Xian's body, shielded by a black aura, let alone harm him.
The Heavenly Tribulation lasted for several days without any pauses.
Once the black clouds dissipated from the sky, Tian Xian emerged from the
burned crater without a single injury on his body.
However, he was no longer alone, as tens of thousands of powerful immortals surrounded him in every direction.
"Evil God! You will pay for the atrocities you have committed today!"
Tian Xian swept the crowd with a cold yet calm gaze.
After identifying them as the Celestial Army, the suppressed bloodlust within Tian
Xian began oozing out once again.
"Even if I have to fight against the entire world... even if I have to split heaven and earth in half... I will destroy anything and anyone that dares to block my path
to the Celestial Emperor!"
Tian Xian continued his relentless campaign to slaughter the Celestial Emperor, leaving a trail of bloodshed and death across the Divine Heaven, with mountains of corpses marking his path.
"Brother Yuan! Are you okay?!" Xiao Hua's worried voice suddenly resounded.
Yuan slowly opened his eyes and found himself kneeling on the ground with tears flowing down both sides of his face.
"Huh...? What happened to me...?" he muttered in a dazed voice, unaware that Tian Xian's memories had overwhelmed his consciousness.
When he regained his clarity, Yuan recalled Tian Xian's memories and the atrocities he'd committed again, causing him to vomit violently.
"Brother Yuan!" Xiao Hua called out to him again.
He hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I... I am fine. I just remembered
something unpleasant, that's all."
Once he'd calmed down, Yuan stood up and left the basement, returning to the
house.
Before he left, Yuan took the time to clean the entire building, removing all dust and dirt, fixing the broken door, and even cleansing the bloodstains in Xiu Mei's
room.
