Chapter 258: Reincarnation! Netherworld Serpent!

[Name: Ye Ziyue]

[Physique: None]

[Cultivation: Rank 4 Undead Noble (Nascent Soul Realm)]

[Technique: Netherworld Serpent Sutra]

[Talent Rating: None]

[Evaluation: The reincarnated clone of a terrifying existence. It is advised that the Host stay away from her!]

…

The moment Ye Ziyue erupted with that unfathomable momentum, her System Panel changed directly before Chen Xuan’s eyes.

Her original Spirit Body-level Physique disappeared. So did her 4 Star Talent Rating and the accompanying Evaluation.

In their place were completely different entries.

Chen Xuan stared at the new information for a moment.

The instant he understood what it meant, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

‘Damn it! Another freak!’

He had originally thought that Ye Ziyue was merely a strange undead with a powerful cultivation technique. Now, it was obvious that things were far more complicated.

Sensing that something was awakening within Ye Ziyue, Chen Xuan didn’t hesitate.

A sword appeared in his hand.

He immediately slashed forward.

Several Sword Qis shot through the air, each one carrying enough power to reap the life of a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator.

Yet under Chen Xuan’s gaze, the moment those Sword Qis approached Ye Ziyue and were about to tear her apart, they suddenly froze.

It was as though an invisible force had completely restrained them.

They remained suspended in the air, unable to advance even an inch.

Chen Xuan’s expression became solemn.

He could clearly feel that his attacks had stimulated Ye Ziyue’s awakening.

A strange fluctuation spread from her body.

Immediately afterward, Ye Ziyue’s expression changed.

The horror and panic that had previously filled her face vanished. Her tears dried up.

An indescribable calmness replaced them all.

Then, even her temperament began to change.

The young and arrogant aura she had previously displayed gradually disappeared.

In its place was a mature elegance. Her features remained the same, but the feeling she gave off was completely different.

If the previous Ye Ziyue had resembled a beautiful and dangerous young genius, the current one possessed an entirely different charm.

She was mature and elegant.

… And far more alluring.

“Ye Ziyue” slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze swept across the surroundings.

For a moment, her eyes appeared somewhat blank, as though she were trying to sort through countless memories that had suddenly appeared in her mind.

It didn’t take long. A moment later, the confusion vanished.

She had already understood everything she needed to know.

Chen Xuan’s expression tightened.

The transformation alone was enough to make him cautious. But the next words from her mouth made his expression sink further.

“Interesting…” Her voice was slightly unfamiliar at first.

“I didn’t expect that an abandoned clone would make such a great discovery.”

Her eyes settled on Chen Xuan.

“A human?”

The words came slowly, as though she was still adjusting to this body.

But by the time she finished speaking, her voice had already become soft and pleasant. It possessed a strange charm that seemed capable of reaching directly into the heart.

Chen Xuan’s mind unexpectedly relaxed for a brief moment.

The woman before him suddenly seemed even more attractive and pleasant than before, as though they had known each other for years.

Fortunately, his powerful soul immediately noticed something was wrong.

He quickly snapped out of that strange state.

His gaze became vigilant.

“Ye Ziyue” also stared at him.

Her eyes slowly traveled over his body, sizing him up with undisguised interest.

There was no hostility in her expression. Instead, there was faint curiosity.

“Boy. Are you interested in following me?”

“Don’t worry.”

“I’ll take great care of you.” Her lips curved upward.

“I can feel that you’re quite… talented.”

“As long as you receive my help, you will surely soar to great heights.”

As she spoke, Ye Ziyue slowly licked her lips.

The simple gesture now carried far more allure than before.

Combined with her mature charm and faint smile, it was enough to make most people instinctively lower their guard.

Rather than a terrifying existence who had just awakened from a dormant state, Ye Ziyue looked more like an older Senior Sister patiently trying to persuade her Junior Brother.

Unfortunately, her offer didn’t receive the answer she might have wanted.

A silver flash suddenly appeared behind her.

Before she had even finished speaking, Chen Xuan’s figure had already disappeared.

In the next instant, he flashed behind her.

The sword in his hand descended without hesitation.

Ye Ziyue seemed to have expected this.

She took a small step to the side.

At the same time, she stretched out her hand.

A tiny serpent formed entirely from Death Qi appeared around her palm.

“Hiss!”

It was only a few inches long, yet the moment it appeared, Chen Xuan felt a strange sense of danger.

“Why should we fight?”

“Why don’t we just make up?” Her soft voice rang out.

“Perhaps we can even hug and kiss each other as a testament to our relationship…”

Bang!

The sword and the tiny serpent collided.

The serpent immediately opened its mouth.

To Chen Xuan’s surprise, it seemed to devour the force contained within his sword.

The terrifying Sword Qi disappeared into its mouth without leaving the slightest trace.

In Chen Xuan’s senses, it felt as though his sword had struck an indestructible wall.

However, Chen Xuan didn’t panic, much less give up.

His figure disappeared once again.

This time, he launched an even more powerful attack.

The Yin-Yang Law Mark was called upon.

It resonated with the Great Yin-Yang Dao Origin. A massive two-colored wheel materialized before him.

The moment it emerged, the surrounding space began to tremble.

Then, the wheel shot toward Ye Ziyue with terrifying momentum.

Yin-Yang Annihilation!

This technique displayed its terrifying power once again.

Yet facing such a powerful attack, Ye Ziyue remained completely calm.

Only a brief trace of surprise flashed across her beautiful face.

“A Great Dao Origin?”

“Sure enough, you’re special.”

“It’s no wonder my clone chose you as my husband. “

Although her words were playful, her actions didn’t slow down.

The smile remained on her face.

At the same time, the shadows beneath her suddenly began to twist.

Countless strands of darkness surged upward.

They transformed into enormous serpents made entirely of Death Qi.

Each serpent opened its enormous mouth and charged toward the incoming Yin-Yang wheel. Their appearance was vaguely reminiscent of World-Devouring Serpents.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The serpents collided with Yin-Yang Annihilation one after another.

Every impact produced a terrifying explosion.

One serpent after another was torn apart.

However, with each serpent that exploded, the power of Yin-Yang Annihilation weakened further.

Eventually, the enormous two-colored wheel could no longer maintain its form.

It collapsed into pure forces of Yin and Yang before disappearing into the surrounding space.

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed.

He was surprised by how easily Ye Ziyue had dealt with his attack.

What shocked him even more was that she had recognized the Great Yin-Yang Dao Origin at a glance.

This woman’s knowledge was clearly extraordinary, evidence of her true strength. But Chen Xuan didn’t retreat.

Ye Ziyue had already seen through his identity.

There was a high chance that she had even seen through his disguise and detected his true appearance.

If news of his identity spread, the consequences would be troublesome.

‘Judging from her previous actions, the clone and the main body shouldn’t share memories like my Yin-Yang Vision.’

‘Most likely, they’re independent split consciousnesses acting autonomously.’

‘If that’s the case, killing this clone should erase all evidence.’

With this thought, Chen Xuan’s attacks became even fiercer.

Sword Qi continuously erupted.

His figure flashed again and again.

One attack followed another, leaving almost no room for Ye Ziyue to breathe.

Although she was the clone of an unknown terrifying existence, Ye Ziyue’s cultivation was still only at the Nascent Soul realm.

Perhaps because she wanted to conserve her energy, she didn’t launch any attacks of her own.

She merely defended against Chen Xuan’s increasingly fierce barrage.

Yet her defensive methods were astonishing.

Every time Chen Xuan launched an attack, she would neutralize it with seemingly casual movements.

Both possessed extraordinary control over their power and were able to restrain the aftermath of their attacks.

However, even their restrained battle was terrifying.

The space around them continuously distorted.

The formation within the palace shattered immediately.

Cracks spread across the surrounding walls.

Then—

Boom!

A large portion of the palace was instantly pulverized.

Before the City Lord could even understand what was happening, two streams of light suddenly shot out from the ruins.

One was silver.

The other was gray.

The two figures continued colliding in the sky.

From a distance, they looked like two entangled comets constantly crashing into one another.

Each collision caused the surrounding space to tremble.

The City Lord stared at the scene in disbelief.

He couldn’t understand how two such figures had appeared in Netherflame City. And judging from their earlier action, they had previously been in his palace.

—

“Great Yin-Yang Dao Origin. Great Star Dao Origin.”

Ye Ziyue’s soft voice echoed directly into Chen Xuan’s ears.

Her alluring figure flashed through the sky, avoiding another attack.

“You’re very lucky to have obtained both of these things.”

“Let alone my clone, even I am starting to become interested in you.”

Her gaze lingered on Chen Xuan.

“How about it? Are you ready to give up and fall into my embrace?”

“Don’t worry.”

“Zi’er will take good care of you…”
