Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2318: Chapter 2366: Chaoge Expresses Her Feelings

East Emperor and West Empress exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror in each other’s eyes.

What kind of titan had appeared in their Southern Heavenly World? To think they could capture and kill the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!

Seeing their expressions, the He Xu Nine-winged Great Angel looked slightly disappointed. "So, you didn’t know that the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis has already fallen."

East Emperor said, "I am ashamed to admit it. Although we heard the declaration of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s execution, we dared not interfere with Cause and Effect."

The He Xu Nine-winged Great Angel nodded gently. He did not despise East Emperor’s cowardice. Who was the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis? And what kind of terrifying existence was the ruthless figure hunting him down? Even if he had been nearby, he absolutely would not have dared to pry. In a battle of that caliber, the destruction of a Nine-winged Great Angel would be as insignificant as dust, easily wiped out at any moment.

He said with profound meaning, "Your southern region is truly full of hidden talents.

"The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis is the first Semi-Saint level powerhouse to fall in ten thousand years.

"If any world could invite him to oversee it, no one would dare to easily offend them during times of cosmic upheaval."

Hearing this, East Emperor and West Empress couldn’t help but feel moved. Soon, West Empress calmed down. "This senior possesses unfathomable strength. If he doesn’t want to show himself, it would be difficult for anyone to find him."

However, the He Xu Nine-winged Great Angel’s eyes flashed sharply. "His identity will soon be revealed to the world."

"Oh?" East Emperor said. "Why do you say that, sir?"

The He Xu Nine-winged Great Angel said solemnly, "According to the news I gathered along the way, the Six Lords of Chaotic Ancient have emerged.

"They are currently in the Southern Heavenly World, searching through the worlds one by one."

East Emperor was startled. "Those six slumbering old monsters have all appeared?

"The world is truly going to be thrown into chaos!"

West Empress’s eyes were full of curiosity. "I would like to see for myself exactly what kind of divine figure this formidable conqueror who killed the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis is."

The He Xu Nine-winged Great Angel left it at that. He stood up and said, "As for the merger of our two worlds, you two should discuss it carefully.

"I will wait in your Northern Heavenly State for half a month. Give me an answer within that time."

After exchanging a glance, East Emperor and West Empress nodded slightly, not refusing.

"Right!" The He Xu Nine-winged Great Angel pointed to the aloof young woman beside him. "This is our Lost Heavenly Realm’s newly risen Prodigy.

"She has always heard that the Northern Heavenly State is the greatest successor to the Heavenly Realm.

"Therefore, she wants to challenge the Prodigies of your noble realm."

How was this a challenge? It was clearly a display of dominance.

The Lost Heavenly Realm was close to the Divine Capital. How could the fragmented Northern Heavenly State compare to its abundant resources? Although the aloof young woman before them was only a One-Winged Great Angel, East Emperor and West Empress sensed a faint aura of threat from her. It was evident she possessed an extremely formidable trump card.

West Empress’s eyes flickered. "There’s no rush," she said.

"The Great Angels of our Northern Heavenly State are currently busy instructing the younger generation.

"It won’t be too late to spar with your noble clan’s Prodigy in half a month, once they have some free time."

The He Xu Nine-winged Great Angel looked at the young woman, unexpectedly seeking her opinion.

The young woman remained as cold as ice. She swept her gaze over the younger generation of Great Angels present and said, "You have half a month. Prepare well.

"I don’t like wasting time on the weak."

Yun Wanxiao and the others laughed in anger. This girl was truly arrogant! In half a month, if he obtained that wisp of primordial power, he would have hope of taking his Physique to the First Layer. At that time, he would deal with Jiang Fan and this wretched girl together!

Several days later.

Inside the Immortal King’s Undying Bell, Xia Chaoge had spent more than half a month finally absorbing the last trace of the Angel Holy Blood. Above her head, five Little Angels fluttered simultaneously.

Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed gratification. "Congratulations on breaking through to a Five Qi Angel Lord," he said.

Back then, in order to break through the Heavenly Human Five Declines, he had no choice but to rush to the Void, enduring great hardships. Seeing Xia Chaoge break through so easily, he felt genuinely gratified. Did he not forge ahead through wind and rain precisely so those around him would experience less of it?

"Thank you, Mar... Senior," Xia Chaoge said, her face glowing.

To break through from a Three-qi Angel Lord to a Five Qi Angel Lord in just twenty short days was simply unheard of! Yet, this was only a small fraction of the Holy Blood’s potency. The vast majority of the Holy Blood had integrated into her bloodline. The Holy Angel Blood she had previously lost—having given Jiang Fan over half of her feathers containing the Holy Angel Bloodline—was now completely restored.

Jiang Fan merely smiled. Then, another drop of Holy Blood surfaced in his palm. "Continue taking it," he said. "If you digest this one, stepping into the realm of an Angel Leader will be a breeze for you."

"There’s more?"

Even though Xia Chaoge usually remained indifferent to favor or disgrace, she was shocked in this moment. A single drop of Holy Blood was hard to come by. Even East Emperor and West Empress likely didn’t have two, right? Why would Jiang Fan give her two? He was just guiding her; was there a need to empty his entire fortune?

She looked at Jiang Fan suspiciously. "Do you really not remember me?" she asked.

Jiang Fan remained expressionless. "If you don’t want it, I’ll take it back. Why do you have so many baffling questions?"

He made a motion to retract it, but Xia Chaoge quickly grabbed it and giggled. She thought to herself, "Martial Uncle gave this to me, so I definitely won’t be polite with him."

Right at that moment, the Communication Jade Pendant at Xia Chaoge’s waist suddenly chimed. She pressed it, and Linglong’s voice immediately rang out.

"Chaoge, come back for a moment. East Emperor’s betrothal gifts have arrived."

The smile that had just bloomed on Xia Chaoge’s face instantly withered, and she rapidly turned pale. The twenty days she spent with Jiang Fan were the happiest days she had experienced since returning to the Northern Heavenly State. Although it had only consisted of dull and tedious cultivation, and she had barely spoken a few words to Jiang Fan, just being by his side brought her endless joy.

All of this was about to come to an end. East Emperor ultimately refused to let her go, secretly sending betrothal gifts behind West Empress’s back.

Jiang Fan heard this, and his soul was greatly shaken. East Emperor had given Xia Chaoge betrothal gifts? Were the two of them going to get married?

He forced himself to stay calm. "You are going to marry East Emperor? Why?"

Xia Chaoge gazed at Jiang Fan, her eyes brimming with endless regret. Her time with him had to be brought to a premature end. However, since Jiang Fan had forgotten her, there were some words hidden in her heart that she couldn’t express before, which she could finally say to his face.

Xia Chaoge murmured softly, "I once had a Martial Uncle. I respected him deeply because his heart was always filled with compassion for the weak and the common people.

"I loved staying by his side; I felt he was very reliable.

"I also thought we would always remain as uncle and niece.

"Until one day, on Boundary Mountain, I died. He held me in sorrow and shed tears for me. At that moment, I realized that Martial Uncle cared about me very much, and from that moment on, I cared even more about his every move.

"Seeing him frown, I would silently help him solve his problems.

"Seeing him laugh, I would feel genuinely happy.

"Knowing he was in danger, I would be overcome with grief.

"I am a person who is Wuyu and has no demands. Only in front of Martial Uncle do I act like a normal person.

"Martial Uncle has a deeply beloved wife who is a Demon Fox. I often hear people say that the Demon Fox loves him very much and that her heart is completely filled with him.

"But... my heart is also completely filled with Martial Uncle."

Hearing this, Jiang Fan’s heartstrings trembled. A long sigh echoed in the depths of his heart.
