Meanwhile, Yu Sui had transformed completely into a Terrible monster ...not just in form, but in spirit.
That moment… it was as if someone's soul was being utterly destroyed.
Far away, in the depths of a dense forest, Su Nian's stepmother sat cross-legged, immersed in a dark ritual.
Yu Sui sensed it...a ritual was being performed somewhere, an ominous pull he couldn't ignore.
But fate played its cruel game.
Within that ritual, the sacred Su Tao Jue incantation seal was offered as a sacrifice.
The incantation was forever divided, shattered into two halves....because every single minute, that woman was pouring her own blood into the fire.
All this under the manipulation of Wui Guan, who promised her that perhaps the next king of the Liuguang Sect would be her son.
Greed blinded her.
The ritual reached completion
And Su Tao Jue was broken, lost in time, its seal fractured beyond repair.
The moment it shattered, all of Yu Sui's divine protection vanished.
For although he was the Black Heaven King,
His mortal form still followed the laws of human existence
And one by one, his seven inner chakras began to collapse.
Though the Su Tao Jue would activate near Mo Yan,
It had always been protecting Yu Sui silently.
And now, without it, his soul turned against him.
His own soul, starved and restless,
Was the first to consume what was left of his spirit.
Dark marks began to spread over his body.
Just then, Su Nian's stepmother arrived.
Before Yu Sui's body could fully disintegrate,
Yu suie sliced open his hand and began scattering her blood in desperation.
A few drops splashed on her as well, unaware of the curse he was invoking.
She had no idea of Yu Sui's true powers.
But Yu Sui could take no more.
He fled.
On his path, he saw the same horrific sight that Mo Yan had once witnessed
The lifeless, abandoned bodies of Duie and Su Nian.
But Yu Sui no longer had time.
He rushed toward Mo Yan.
Just then
Mo Yan threw his own blood on Wui Guan's robes,
But as Yu Sui saw Mo Yan
He froze.
He himself was in unbearable agony,
And collapsed on the path.
His trembling hand reached out toward Mo Yan.
Mo Yan saw Yu Sui
And smiled.
Even if behind that smile lay a pain deeper than death.
All he had to do was look at Yu Sui and now that Yu Sui was right in front of his eyes, he could die peacefully
By then, the poison had already spread through Mo Yan's body,
And at last, he collapsed,
Breathing his final breath.
Yu Sui, unable to bear the sight,
Screamed out his name in anguish
And abandoned his physical form.
But his soul was blood-hungry.
The moment it emerged
Anyone tainted with Yu Sui or Mo Yan's blood became its prey.
From Su Nian's stepmother
To Wui Guan
All were devoured by Yu Sui's wrathful spirit.
And in that moment
Everything fell silent.
No one survived.
