Ji Qingyi VS Jiang Che

Tian Chan's entire state of mind completely collapsed.

Looking at the wind chimes covering the mountains and plains, she only found them incredibly piercing to the eyes, even feeling an urge to escape.

There were at least millions, if not tens of millions, of wind chimes here. Junior Sister Yunya had probably hung one up every single day, yet in tens of thousands of years, she herself had never once visited this place?

One could only imagine how terrifyingly hard these tens of millions of wind chimes struck Tian Chan!

These weren't wind chimes at all! They were clearly bone-scraping blades!

"Pfft—"

Spitting out another mouthful of immortal blood, Tian Chan's mind began to blur. Her originally pitch-black long hair turned snow-white in an instant!

Her white hair danced in the wind, and the evil power within her body lost its balance once more. A voice seemed to echo in her heart, constantly tempting her to fall into the evil path.

"Hehe... Evil Emperor, just when did you plant this demonic seed in my Dao heart?"

Tian Chan smiled miserably, slumping to the ground and forcing herself up with her hands.

At this moment, an illusory figure slowly emerged. Black fire lotuses bloomed out of thin air as she stepped forward... Dressed in a long black dress, she stood with her hands behind her back.

The Evil Emperor—Ji Qingyi!

"A very long time ago, right when you were born..." Ji Qingyi spoke.

"Heh—no wonder the Human Emperor failed. Your cultivation base is actually this terrifying?"

Tian Chan shook her head with a bitter smile, her expression sorrowfully beautiful. Even when she ascended to become a Supreme Immortal Emperor, she had not realized that a demonic seed had been planted in her Dao heart. It wasn't until the demonic voice echoed from her Dao heart just now that she noticed... she had already been corrupted by a demonic seed.

But now, she no longer cared about the righteous path or the evil path. Her heart had turned completely to ashes with Yunya's fall.

"What do you want? To lure me into the Evil Spirit Dao?" Tian Chan revealed a miserable smile, then shook her head. "Although my Dao heart is shattered now, I still will not fall into the Evil Spirit Dao. That is my bottom line!"

"What if I said... I can resurrect Yunya?"

As soon as Ji Qingyi said this, Tian Chan instantly raised her eyes, her gaze full of astonishment. "What did you say? You... you can resurrect Junior Sister Yunya?"

In that instant, it was as if Tian Chan had found a savior.

"Of course. I created the Evil Spirit Dao. The power of the Evil Spirit enters reincarnation, existing as an independent Great Dao outside the three thousand Great Daos. Your junior sister dispersed her immortal source through self-destruction, and my Evil Spirit power is entirely capable of bringing her back to life."

Tian Chan fell silent. She had to admit... the Evil Emperor's words were incredibly tempting.

If she could truly resurrect Junior Sister Yunya, she was willing to pay any price!

If anyone else had said this, she absolutely wouldn't have believed it. But this was the Evil Emperor... The Evil Spirit Legion she had created had proven countless times that Evil Spirits possessed a bizarre kind of immortality. Perhaps she really did have the ability to resurrect her Junior Sister Yunya.

"How truly pitiful—"

Ji Qingyi looked with indifferent eyes at the tempted Tian Chan before her, then thought of Jiang Che, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Being played for a fool without even knowing it. This Jiang Che was also a ruthless man, but... compared to her master, the Demon Ancestor, he was still far behind. The Demon Ancestor was the kind of person who would sacrifice everything to achieve his goals. She wished she could grind his bones to dust.

"Resurrect Junior Sister Yunya for me first, and I will join the Evil Spirit Dao."

Tian Chan spoke firmly.

"Heh—your heart is not sincere. I won't make a deal with you..."

Following that, this avatar of Ji Qingyi prepared to dissipate and leave.

But the next second, a familiar voice drifted over.

"Lord Evil Emperor, why the rush to leave? Why not continue your bluffing?"

In the void, a young man in a black robe slowly walked out. With his hands in his pockets and a wicked smirk on his face, who else could it be but Jiang Che?

Jiang Che's gaze sized up Ji Qingyi in front of him. Although this was merely an avatar of the Evil Emperor, her aura was still extraordinary. Most importantly... this was his first time truly meeting this Evil Emperor face to face.

Ji Qingyi remained silent, stopping to look at Jiang Che. No joy or sorrow could be seen in her eyes.

"Jiang Che... even though I took precautions early on, I still couldn't sense your arrival. Your methods have probably already achieved transcendence, haven't they?"

Ji Qingyi sighed. "Truly worthy of being a Perfect Grade Dao Fetus, something extremely rare to be born even across countless eras. It's an unreasonable kind of invincibility. Going from the Nirvana Stage to the Immortal Emperor Realm only takes a single thought."

The Immortal Emperor Realm... a realm countless cultivators dreamed of reaching. Even she back then... had spent a full ten thousand years and survived countless heaven-defying lightning tribulations before finally achieving the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Many arrogant cultivators looked down on cheats like systems, believing that cultivating with a system was inferior to their own bitter cultivation and comprehension.

But—what if a system could let you ascend to the Immortal Emperor Realm in one second?

"Ji Qingyi, I heard that although you and the Demon Ancestor were master and disciple, you have now become enemies. How about... you ditch the Demon Ancestor as your master and acknowledge me as your master instead? I'll help you crush the Demon Ancestor's balls!"

Young Master Jiang was extremely bold. Within three sentences of their first meeting, he started trying to poach her.

Ji Qingyi remained unmoved, seemingly already having an understanding of Jiang Che's personality.

"Since you have appeared, then this Emperor can leave."

"Evil Emperor, why did you invade the Nine Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds?" Tian Chan spoke up. She was a bit bewildered. Jiang Che actually knew the Evil Emperor?

"Why invade the Nine Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds?" Ji Qingyi sneered. "For transcendence."

To completely deduce the Evil Spirit Dao into a complete Great Dao law and thus condense an Evil Spirit Dao source, she had to sacrifice a major world. Using the Reincarnation Dao and the Evil Dao source as vessels to open up the Evil Dao Reincarnation and pollute all living beings in the Nine Heavens, her Evil Spirit power would reach an extremely terrifying level, thereby fully achieving transcendence!

Although she had stepped onto the path of transcendence now, only thirty percent of her source had achieved transcendence. This kind of strength was far from enough to support her in completing her revenge.

Although the Demon Ancestor had supposedly fallen a million years ago, she knew very well... the Demon Ancestor absolutely could not be dead. In fact, his strength might have become even more terrifying!

After all, how could such a terrifying existence... fall so easily?

"Tch, all flash and no substance," Jiang Che laughed disdainfully.

"The last girl who said she wanted to get revenge herself, didn't she end up relying on my abilities to succeed in the end?"

He vaguely remembered the Dragon Race girl, Long Qianqiu, who tried to take revenge on the entire Dragon Palace. Even when she inherited the Dragon Pearl, she was looked down upon by the Ancestral Dragon's soul. In the end, wasn't it Young Master Jiang who showed great mercy and helped her out?

Ji Qingyi said nothing, merely staring into Jiang Che's eyes. She saw a familiar feeling in his gaze.

Before meeting Jiang Che, she believed that Jiang Che and her master, the Demon Ancestor, were definitely two different people. But now... she was a bit hesitant.

Even though the two had completely different temperaments aside from their similar appearances—Jiang Che's personality was that of a very frivolous playboy, while the Demon Ancestor was extremely shrewd, with a fair exterior but foul within.

But—she still detected a faint trace of the Demon Ancestor's aura coming from Jiang Che.
