Chapter 5201 Heart-Devil Reappears
Long Chen was silent. This voice had appeared many times before, and it was always the same—never fully explaining anything before disappearing.
Long Chen pondered within the darkness. At this moment, he suddenly felt particularly relaxed, as if the darkness was the only place where he could truly feel safe.
“People fear the darkness, but I... I like it. Maybe I am the darkness,” Long Chen murmured to himself.
After witnessing Yu Qingxuan’s reincarnation process, Long Chen felt an overwhelming disgust for the entire world. He didn\'t fully understand what the existence of the Pill Sovereign signified, but he had a strong sense that she was one of the strongest beings in the nine heavens, an apex existence in this world.
Long Chen had encountered the Pill Sovereign multiple times. She was beautiful, warm, and kind... a single glance from her was enough to make a person defend her with their life. She seemed to embody a beautiful world.
However, even such a person had been betrayed—by her own disciple at that. Long Chen didn’t know the exact circumstances surrounding her downfall, nor why her disciple would betray her. However, it was clear that despite being at the pinnacle of the nine heavens, she couldn’t control her life and death. This powerlessness and injustice made Long Chen’s heart turn cold.
The bitterness was so intense that Long Chen wanted to tear apart this cruel world with his own hands. Even someone as powerful as the Pill Sovereign had been forced into the cycle of reincarnation, hunted down mercilessly over and over again. Her memories were gradually erased, and she forgot all her original feelings. How sorrowful was that?
Recalling how Yu Qingxuan had died in the Martial Heaven Continent, Long Chen felt like his heart was breaking. Whether or not Yu Qingxuan was the Pill Sovereign, he vowed to protect her with all his might. He would cherish her and ensure she never experienced such pain again.
The thought of the Pill Sovereign being hunted down by Lord Brahma led Long Chen to a chilling realization—could Lord Brahma control reincarnation? Even if he couldn’t fully control it, he was clearly capable of predicting where the Pill Sovereign would be reborn each time.
If Lord Brahma had the power to influence reincarnation, it meant he could control a portion of the Heavenly Daos. No wonder the Earth Cauldron had mentioned that the true Heavenly Daos wouldn\'t target anyone, but that they were no longer the old Heavenly Daos
It was a subtle warning that one or more others were interfering and changing the Heavenly Daos. By twisting the Heavenly Daos, they cast a shadow over the world. Good people were continuously harmed and killed, while bad people lived exceptionally comfortably.
Long Chen had seen how Lord Brahma assassinated the Pill Sovereign. At that time, the Pill Sovereign probably didn’t die immediately. Long Chen had heard that the Pill Sovereign had destroyed Lord Brahma’s physical body, leaving only a trace of his Yuan Spirit. However, the details of her eventual demise remained a mystery.
The entity pursuing the Pill Sovereign through her reincarnations was only a trace of Lord Brahma’s Yuan Spirit, yet it still possessed the power to devastate worlds. Despite wielding the primal chaos bead, the Pill Sovereign couldn’t completely annihilate his Yuan Spirit.
Even after suffering such a grievous injury, Lord Brahma had relentlessly pursued the Pill Sovereign, gradually eroding her will and memories. He only stopped to heal once she was no longer a threat, leaving the task of chasing her to his subordinates.
Long Chen had glimpsed the faintest trace of Lord Brahma’s true power, and that glimpse alone was enough to make him despair.
At that time, the Pill Sovereign had reached the Human Emperor realm, but in the face of Lord Brahma, she had directly detonated the primal chaos bead. Hence, it was clear that a Human Emperor couldn’t contend against a fragment of Lord Brahma’s Yuan Spirit.
Lord Brahma was like a towering mountain, while Long Chen was a mere ant standing at its base. The difference between them was far, far too great. Most importantly, Lord Brahma had been in recovery for a long time and had amassed countless followers. He was clearly using the faith energy to restore the body that the Pill Sovereign destroyed.
Countless years had passed since then, and Long Chen had no idea how much Lord Brahma had recovered. But in any case, Long Chen was not Lord Brahma’s match; his revenge was still far away.
Long Chen then realized something that sent shivers down his spine. Even after Lord Brahma had sneak attacked the Pill Sovereign, she still managed to destroy his body and Yuan Spirit, which meant... the Pill Sovereign’s downfall was not caused solely by Lord Brahma.
While Fallen Daynight had betrayed the Pill Sovereign as well, Long Chen felt that even if the two ingrates joined hands, they still wouldn’t be a match for her. There had to be more terrifying enemies scheming against her.
The thought of facing multiple beings on the same level as Lord Brahma was enough to make anyone lose hope—even Long Chen felt a heavy blow to his resolve.
Long Chen continued to think within this peaceful darkness. Just then, an icy voice rang out in his mind.
“Are you afraid? Terrified? If so, give this body to me. I’ll help you kill them all, and I’ll destroy the nine heavens and ten lands altogether!”
When Long Chen heard that voice, his heart quivered. That was his heart-devil who had been gone for a long time. How did it suddenly come back?
However, something was different this time. The voice wasn\'t coming from within him—it sounded like it was shouting at him from across a vast expanse.
“I, Long Chen, have never been terrified. I don’t need you to worry about it,” replied Long Chen coldly.
“Hehe, tough words mean nothing. Don’t worry, give me a bit more time. Once I am in full control of my power, I will take control of this body. At that time, I will make all the lifeforms of the nine heavens and ten lands tremble in fear at the mere mention of the name Long Chen!”
Long Chen could hear it clearly now. His heart-devil truly wasn’t within him. The voice carried a familiar aura. Sensing it closely, Long Chen suddenly exclaimed, “You’re in Purgatory!?”
“Hahaha!”
The heart-devil didn’t respond. It simply laughed and fell silent.
Long Chen’s heart shook. Through the voice of his heart-devil, Long Chen sensed the aura of Purgatory. He had been there once, so he couldn’t be wrong about it.
An intense feeling of unease surged within Long Chen, a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.
Long Chen then trembled, and the darkness around him faded away. He opened his eyes and saw the Pill Sovereign’s statue, as well as Yu Qingxuan’s worried gaze.
When he saw the concern in her eyes, his heart ached. Without thinking, he suddenly pulled Yu Qingxuan into a tight embrace.
