Chapter 1042: 1042: Final Trial

Left with no answer in his head, the Immortal Star Emperor starts to wonder what is wrong with him and what he truly wanted. Does he truly love the former Moon Empress? Loved her enough for him to give up everything? He has asked himself these questions and unexpectedly, he truly didn’t have an answer to this question. For the first in his life, the Immortal Star Emperor, began to start questioning himself.

The situation of Yue Xuehua and Xing Xieju had started to turn into something unknown. One wanted a life in which she is loved and not the one loving. While the other starts to think what he truly wanted and not because the situation had shown him to. Each problem had to be resolved on their own and it’s not something someone can help them with. Thinking of this, Yue Xuehua and Xing Xieju plan to find the answers for themselves before finding things that were only involved and not them doing it.

As for the ones waiting at the distance trying to find an opportunity to get something for themselves noticed that the ones they were thinking of leading this situation of besieging the Immortal Sun Emperor were suddenly all quiet. The Immortal Star Emperor looks like he is only here to stare at the former Moon Empress. As for the Golden Dragon Race, it was unknown where that colossal black dragon had brought them too. There are some more strugglers within the crowd and are still biding their time. What they wanted was the right opportunity. After all, causing such an infamous emperor to fall again was something to be proud of for the rest of their lives. Well given that they would still be alive.

Meanwhile, at some unknown white space, the Immortal Sun Emperor opened his eyes and heard the voice of the heavens.

{Final Trial: The truth of one’s heart. Defeat your Inner Demons.}

As the Immortal Sun Emperor heard about this, he was surprised to see two people before his eyes. Even though he couldn’t clearly see them due to some fog in the area, he knew that it was one woman and one man. One of them walked out of the fog and Shen Jueyang saw it was the man. However this man’s face was covered in a black fog. The same man who had tried to kill him before his tribulation even started. What caught his eyes was the inhuman crimson eyes of this man. Those crimson-gold vertical irises eyes of his was something the Immortal Sun Emperor never saw too anyone of this world.

Shen Jueyang asked, “Who are you?”

“Hm~ is that something you can ask in this situation? By the way, if you failed to kill me you would be staying in this world until your soul is gone. No one can save you, not even her~.” The man with inhuman eyes said. The ‘her’ in his words is clearly the current Moon Goddess.

All of the sudden a sword appeared in the man’s hand and started attacking him. He can only pull out his black sword and defend himself. The two men started clashing with their weapons, fists, legs, and all kinds of weapons and abilities in their possession. The Immortal Sun Emperor actually noticed something wrong with the current situation. The way this man used his sword, his techniques, gestures were like an upgraded version of himself. It was as if fighting against a mirror version of himself with a better set of talent.

However, with Shen Jueyang being weaker than the other, he almost got killed multiple times but the man isn’t killing him at all as if playing with him. By the time Shen Jueyang noticed it, he was already covered in injuries and he kept bleeding through it. Falling into one of his knees with his sword as support, he looked at the man with inhuman eyes looking at him coldly yet with mirth at the depths of his eyes.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, “You are not… My inner demon. You are that person… The one who wanted to… kill me.”

“Oh~ why do you think so?” The man with inhuman eyes asked.

Shen Jueyang said, “You don’t want to kill me now unlike before.”

The smile on the man’s face faded when these words were mentioned. Before Shen Jueyang could speak another word, a sword was pointed at his forehead.

“This deity will not kill you? Why do you think I won’t,” said the man with inhuman crimson eyes.

The Immortal Sun Emperor was nervous that cold sweat dripped from his forehead to the lining of his nose slowly yet he tried to remain calm at his situation where his life was in danger.

“You are too powerful to interfere in my tribulation trial, call yourself a deity, but took a step back when Xue’er had gotten involved. She declared that my life is hers. Senior, are you truly going to take this little one’s life away?” said the Immortal Sun Emperor.

When this question was asked by the Immortal Sun Emperor, the man’s inhuman crimson eyes narrowed dangerously. He snorted and pulled back his sword then threw it a few inches at Shen Jueyang’s knee.

Snort!

“If you failed this simple inner demon, you will never deserve her. Causing her death twice, if she died for the third time she will never…” The man was about to say something more when a languid yet cold voice of a young man echoed in the area instantly shutting up the man with inhuman crimson eyes.

[That’s enough. Say more and you will not sleep with me in the bedroom!]

The man with inhuman crimson eyes panicked when he heard these words and instantly ripped the space to find his beloved while shouting.

“Lao Po (My Dearest wife), will not speak another word. Let me sleep on the bed!”

Once the space rip disappeared, the man as well had also left. He left the Immortal Sun Emperor dumbfounded in place looking at him and the black shard piece that fell near his feet. He was confused as he stared at this black shard that kept attracting his eyes as if calling out for him. Before his mind could process anything, his hand had already reached out to pick the black shard which instantly entered his body. Before he reacted the shard had already disappeared inside him. When he tried to check his body for it, he noticed that it appeared near the center of his chest, unmoving. When he tried to remove it an unbearable pain spread in his body and soul.

Cough!

“What the hell is this black shard?” Shen Jueyang lightly wipes the blood from the corner of his lips as he mutters these words.

Suddenly, the voice of the heavens reaches his ears saying:

{The real final trial is now about to begin. Please be prepared.}

In the next moment, Shen Jueyang experienced the feeling of falling from the sky to the ground. Even he was unable to hold back the scream as he landed on the ground painfully. He sat up while looking at the area nervously, only to experience a split moment life and death situation. Some kind of armored madman was about to slice off his head. Before he could react, someone had saved him and grabbed him then finally threw him away from danger. When the Immortal Sun Emperor raised his head, he saw the familiar face of the Moon Goddess, Yue Xuexia. The only difference is that she possessed long crimson hair holding a crimson colored scythe in her hand. The only difference is that her eyes were not silver, one was scarlet and the other was sapphire.

Shen Jueyang calls, “Xue’er?”

“Did you want to be dead? Kill yourself where bengong can’t see it,” said the man who looks like the Moon Goddess.

The Immortal Sun Emperor took a long time before he came out from his shock, after standing up from the ground and realized that this must be the real trial of his tribulation. Shen Jueyang played his role in this world and eventually learned that this woman’s name is called Yao Xuewan. In this world, he had lived his life fighting against ancient gods, fallen gods, tainted gods. All kinds of gods that had become a madman and were running around the universes trying to destroy all things.

He didn’t know how long he had to live in this place, but he had gotten living here long enough that things started to feel surreal for him. After all, in the eyes of Shen Jueyang, this is not reality at all. Even when Yao Xuewan had confessed to him, he was not willing to accept it, after all, he had already made a vow to love only the Moon Goddess in his heart, which is Yue Xuexia. But everything seems to change that one day when their team was ambushed and everyone in the team had died and Yao Xuewan died to save him.

Holding on the beautiful lady with crimson hair that now slowly turns to white, with her body covered in blood, Yao Xuewan smiled at him.

She said, “I don’t know the reason why you feel detached, it was as if this world was not real in your eyes. I also know that you have a person in your heart and that you are not willing to accept me. If there is another life, I will still love you, Jueyang.”

“Don’t cry, Jueyang.”
