Chapter 2604: Merciless (4)



Mo Xie paused, his breathing labored but his voice steady. "Yao Huang's orders were clear: destroy your heart. Break your spirit. He believed that if he could kill those you loved, if he could shatter your resolve, you would fall. He thought it would be easy. But he underestimated you, just as he underestimates everyone. He is blind to the true nature of power, blind to the strength that comes not just from the legacy of the Primordial God but also from his own perseverance."

Yun Lintian's expression remained cold, but his grip on the Heaven Piercing Sword tightened. The chaotic energy around him pulsed faintly, a silent reminder of the power he wielded. He said nothing, allowing Mo Xie to continue.

"Yao Huang is a fool," Mo Xie spat, his voice filled with venom. "He thinks he can control the void, manipulate the forces of Chaos, but he does not understand them. He uses the God of Darkness' power like a child playing with fire, unaware of the inferno he is courting. The Lord of Chaos tolerates him because he is useful, but make no mistake-he is expendable. And when the time comes, the Lord of Chaos will discard him without a second thought."

Mo Xie's gaze shifted to Yun Lintian, his single eye filled with a mixture of fear and respect. "You, on the other hand... you are different. You understand the true nature of power. You have faced the void, embraced Chaos, and emerged stronger. That is why Yao Huang fears you. That is why he sought to destroy you through underhanded means rather than facing you directly. He knows he cannot defeat you in a fair fight."

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly, but he remained silent. His mind was racing, piecing together the information Mo Xie had revealed.

The impression Yao Huang gave him when he first met him back in the Devil Valley was quite deep. Yao Huang at that time seemed to be extremely resourceful and possessed a deep mind. However, as Yun Lintian grew, he began to see Yao Huang's true nature clearly. It was as Mo Xie had just said: his mind was indeed shallow.

"Why did you follow his orders?" Yun Lintian asked, his voice cold and demanding. "If you hold him in such contempt, why serve him?"

Yun Lintian's expression remained cold, but his mind was racing. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, but the picture they formed was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

He stared at Mo Xie coldly and asked, "Do you want to live?"

Mo Xie suddenly laughed upon hearing this. "Haha. Even if I want to live, I don't seem to have a choice here. Moreover, I no longer have any value."

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly, as he was quite surprised by Mo Xie's honesty.

Mo Xie looked at him with a smile. "To tell you the truth, I'm tired... I'm tired of living such a pathetic life. If I could go back, I would rather die than agree to the Lord of Chaos' offer."

He paused for a moment and said, "The place where I took the Azure World from is within the heart of the Ancient Devil God Realm. When you go out, you will definitely find Yao Huang's hideout... Thank you for allowing me to leave with dignity."

Suddenly, Mo Xie's body began to burn with a black flame and slowly disintegrated...
